A/N: Thankyou to everybody who reads or who has ever reveiwed. Though there is still lots of this story to go I am starting to write bits near the big finale and I need to state that not all the various threads will be tied up into a neat little box. The main ones will but I want this story to feel like the characters will continue on after it even if I'm not writing about it and like the real world threads are never totally finished. It means that at some point in the future I feel like doing a sequel I could even though that's not on the cards for the moment. If someone else is inspired to do a sequel then let me know and then go for it.
Reveiws:
Bradon: Thanks for your continued support, it is much appreciated. I hope you continue to enjoy
Alianna: Thanks for the lovely encouragement, don't worry I'll keep your suggestions in mind and there will be a nice Angel/Spike moment in a couple of chapters
Bubbysbub: O I know that reaction extremely well as a fellow fanficaholic, I hope this chapter helps feed the addiction and I'm looking forward to your thoughts
Pixel: Thanks, I know how hard it is to read other people's fic when your writing your own so the effort is appreciated. I hope this bit lives up to all expectations.
Chapter Twenty-Eight
Spike’s POV
Quick as a flash I’m by Xander’s side lowering him to the bed. I can hear his heart beating way to quickly. I share a glance with Angel over Xander’s head. This could be a problem; we will need to keep an eye on it.
“Put your head between your legs Xander.”
“That’s it pet, nice big breaths. Just try to slow your breathing down for a minute.” Almost unconsciously I’m rubbing circles on his back.
“Spike, why don’t you go and talk to Riley and we will be down in a minute.”
“Why don’t you do it? He hates me and the feelings mutual, you’re the boss, you’re the one he came to see.”
“You think he likes me anymore than you. From what I heard he always felt he came second best in Buffy’s affection compared to me.”
“Everybody comes second best in her affection except for you. The two of you had this fantasy Romeo and Juliet love which nobody else can compete with in her mind.” I think of all those times, she would come to me but it was like I wasn’t even there. She didn’t want me she just wanted a body she could use however she wanted.
“Anyway, that’s not the point. You go down to talk to that ass and I will stay here with Xander.” Won’t he just get it through his thick head that I’m staying here?
“Guys, I’m fine now I just got up too fast, that’s all.” The whelp is struggling out of my grip to stand up.
“Xander, you don’t have to get up, lie back and just rest.”
“Deadboy, I’m fine. Now I am going to get dressed and then go downstairs otherwise you are in for a hell of an ass-kicking.” The whelp probably couldn’t tackle a fly right now but I don’t want an argument from him and so I let him up and silently walk out the door and around to my own room to find some clean clothes
********
Angel’s POV
I get dressed and go to find the other two who had gone back to their respective rooms to change. I need to apologise to Spike. We were about to get into another big fight when Xander defused the situation. Maybe our relationship will work out this time, with another person there to buffer us from tearing each other apart as long as it doesn’t become to tiresome for Xander. Spike approaches me in the hall and I pull him into my arms.
“I’m sorry,” I murmur into his neck. “We will all go and face Riley, together, is that better. Spike gives a breathy
“Yeah” and then his tongue is licking up my neck. I enjoy it for a moment, then pull back to talk to him.
“We are going to have to keep an eye on Xander, I don’t like how his heart was beating earlier.”
“Neither did I but it might be nothing just a side effect of the sobering up.” Xander comes into the hall and together we walk down to the foyer. There are books and weapons everywhere as well as take-away containers. I think we need a maid. Riley turns to look at us and he starts a little to see my arms linked with both Spike and Xander.
“Xander, hey, we saved you some Pad Thai but you’d better eat it quickly because it seems that Oz is a guts when it comes to Thai food.” Lorne calls out and I smile at him silently thanking him for taking the focus away from the three of us being together. Spike untangles his hand from mine and goes in search of blood.
“Okay Riley. What’s been going on over at Tartarus?”
“Just your basic nasty, I think. The cops haven’t been able to find anything but most of them don’t fit into a place like Tartarus and I think that whatever the nasty is has been able to spot them and that would explain why there is never a killing when they are there. I’ve managed to get them to give this case over to us so you won’t have to look out for cops. There have been seven bodies so far all male as the place’s clientele is exclusively male. The victims are all in their twenties, muscular, have been there at least once before and have numerous sexual partners. They are killed by having their stomachs almost sucked out of a wound around their belly button.”
“Alright thanks Riley. We will kill this beastie tonight I still want to find Drusilla.”
“Umm, Riley said that this demon only went after people would had been to the club at least once before so unless you know someone like that, its going to take a couple of nights.” Oz seems to be hesitant bringing it up, he must be able to sense the rage that boils through me at the thought of how much damage Drusilla could do in that time.
“What? No. I can’t let Drusilla get away. Two nights is too long. We have to get this done tonight, Dru could leave LA at any time and then we will never be able to find her.”
“If I was bait…not that I want to cos I don’t want to be dragged in to the fighting evil business again even though I think it might be inevitable what with my soon-to-be-lovers in that business and I don’t want anyone to die because of Drusilla or some stomach eating nasty which shows how far I’ve come from a couple of nights ago when I couldn’t give a damm if the world was swallowed into hell.”
“XANDER,” I roar through his babble because I called his name five times and he still kept babbling. “I am going to say this once and only once so listen good. You. Are. Not. Going. To. Be. Bait. You. Are. Not. Leaving. The. Hotel. Compendi?”
********
Spike’s POV
I walk down the street towards Tartarus. Angel is on one side pissed as hell and Xander is on the other nervously chewing his nails. I’m not happy with this situation either, I’d rather Xander be back in the hotel but as Faith pointed out rather forcefully the only way we have a chance of killing the beastie tonight is by having someone as bait otherwise the beastie, which has particular preferences when it comes to victim’s might decide that nobody fits them tonight and not try to kill. Xander is the only person in the hotel who could be bait because the beast only goes for people who have been to Tartarus more than once, which means Xander. In the end Angel and myself had to give in because it is imperative that this beastie is killed tonight and we are out looking for Dru tomorrow. Walking in front of us is Oz and Andrew. Upon hearing the reputation of this place Angel decided that only the most open minded should come with. All the girls were automatically out and the guys left behind are all definitely straight including Conner. Oz it seems is bi and he told us he has bar-tended in places like this before. Andrew was adamant about coming even though we all know he has never ventured into a place like this before. Maybe he will finally realise that he is attracted to men, maybe even meet someone. Faith with back up from Illyria and Conner will go searching for Drusilla but Angel made it very clear that they shouldn’t engage her unless absolutely necessary. Dru may be crazy but she’s also very dangerous. In the last decade well less than that she has killed two slayers, well technically at least. First Kendra I think that was her name and now Tori Keecher. I look back over to Xander, he can only get out of the hotel with someone else and that other person says the magic word. He is gorgeous looking tonight, I’m not happy about him being bait but those clothes, wow. We arrive at the club and the five of us pass the crowd and saunter up to the door. Riley has it sorted so that we are on the list of those who get in straight away. Apparently the owner is very cooperative, probably because gruesome murders scare away the customers. We walk in and stare around; I can hear Andrew gasp. I hope he won’t be too conspicuous. We are on a balcony that runs the whole way around the club. Leaning over the rails, the dance floor is spread out below us. There are many dark corners round the edges and up here whereas on the dance floor everyone is gyrating against each other and scantily dressed.
“Okay so this is what we are going to do.” Angel starts already back on the business and no longer looking mad at Xander. “Oz and Andrew stay up here, watch the dance floor but keep an eye out for people sneaking through the back door into the alley. Xander, Spike can you please go dance for a while. Xander you need to always be on the dance floor for the next couple of hours, I will be watching from downstairs and I’ll swap with Spike at some point. Everyone keep your eyes out.” Grabbing Xander’s hand I pull him down the nearest steps towards the dance floor. Yes, I finally get to dance with him; I just hope that he has learnt some new moves since the Bronze. Suddenly I’m the one being pulled onto a relatively empty piece of floor. That J-Lo song comes on, what’s it called ‘Play’ maybe I don’t know, all I know is that the Niblet was mad about it a couple of years back. Xander moves in close to me and whispers in my ear.
“Want to see me dance, Spikey?” He flashes me a sexy smile then turns around so that my front is to his back. He grabs my hands and places them on his hips, and then he starts to rub himself against me. Oh yeah, he has definitely learnt some new moves. He starts to grind his ass against my groin and his arms come back and round my neck. He turns his head towards mine and whispers in my ear.
“Spike, Kiss me, please.” Then I have bent round and we are kissing and dancing, rubbing against each other and loving every moment of it.
******
Oz’s POV
Standing on the balcony leaning against the rail I watch Andrew watching Spike and Xander on the dance floor below. I have been doing so much Andrew watching since I moved into the hotel. Being the quiet sidekick means that you can blend into the background and observe everyone without them realising what you are doing. Andrew intrigues me. He reminds me of myself in high school except with the chatter of a teenage Xander. I know he has killed but that is something we have in common. I’m biding my time because I really want to kiss him but I’m almost a hundred percent certain that he is a virgin so I didn’t want to scare him. At least I know he is gay, look at him checking out that guy’s ass, could he be any more obvious?
“So Oz your bisexual ha? Is that because you’re a werewolf? Hang on, it’s a full moon well the night after the full moon so how come you aren’t in a cage with Nina well not with Nina well unless you are with Nina, are you?” At least I can understand babble. He just asked if Nina was my girlfriend, is he trying to find out if I’m available?
“No, I’m not with anyone.”
“Oh is that ‘cos you don’t want to have to explain the wolf to anyone or do you just like being by yourself or do you actually like Nina but she doesn’t feel the same way about you which I’ve got to say is stupid, anyone would be lucky to have you.”
“Andrew, shh” I put my finger to his lip and then use it to outline his bottom lip. “I’ve been waiting for you.” I remove my finger and very slowly lean in giving him plenty of time to move away before my lips touch his.

A/N: So how unexpected was that pairing? What do you think? and don't worry you'll still get plenty of A/S/X action
