Thank you so much for the reviews so far. My muse *LOVED* all the chocolate offerings, and whispered this in my ear. There were also evil grins involved, and I take no blame in wreaking havoc with canon so please blame my muse.

Buffy was powerless to stop herself, she sashayed right up to her vampire lover and let him take her in his arms and kiss her senseless.
Buffy could feel her arousal growing. She rubbed her heated mound against him. ‘What the hell am I doing? This is SPIKE and I’m not under a spell this time. I can’t let this happen.’

She broke the kiss and pulled slightly away. Spike could feel the reluctance in her body.

’Wow. He must have been really happy to see me.’ She thought feeling his hardness pressed into her. Suddenly Slayer Buffy took over. “What the hell do you think you’re doing Spike?” She asked taking a few steps back, pushing him slightly.

“Hey! You walked over here to me slayer, and who am I to deny you your fantasies?” He asked with a cocky grin.

Buffy reacted and punched him in the nose.

“Ow Bloody hell Slayer what was that for?” He asked holding his throbbing nose.

“Get over yourself fang face! None of my fantasies include you!” She huffed. Buffy didn’t wait for a response, she ran. ‘Oh god. Oh god. I have to get away from him.’ She thought desperately. ‘All I really want is to go back there and…’ Buffy blinked rapidly. ‘Not going to finish that thought!’

She didn’t stop until she reached her house. She stood on the back porch panting. Buffy placed her hands on her knees doubled over and inhaled deeply. She could smell him. He was all over her. ‘God Buffy get a grip! He’s an evil vampire who’s gonna just turn on you as soon as he gets that bloody chip out! Get over it already. So you shared a couple of kisses and amazing sex. it is not happening again.’ She didn’t realize until she was drifting off to sleep later that night that she had used his word.

Spike stood there silently in the clock tower and contemplated her reaction to him. ‘You talk tough Slayer, but you’ll be back. Did you really think I couldn’t smell how much you wanted me when you had your hot little body pressed up against mine? Vampire yeah?’ He grinned maliciously and made his way out of the tower.

Buffy successfully stayed away from Spike for three days. She couldn’t believe her luck. ‘Wait a second…what if he’s staying away from me?’ She thought frowning.

Buffy strolled into the playground contemplating that thought when she sensed something and turned to see two flesh colored demons, nasty twisted faces, no mouths, coming at her. She faced them and readied herself for battle.

They both swung at her and Buffy backed up a step, she tripped on the edge of the swing set and fell to the ground. One of the creatures loomed over her.

Buffy quickly snap kicked its leg and knocked it into the pole of the swing set. She rolled to her feet. It turned to her. She sent a roundhouse to it’s face and it dropped to the ground.

She pulled out her knife. “You demons can't resist a stumble, can you?” She threw her knife at the creature on the ground and he caught it.

The other creature grabbed her from behind. She twisted out and chucked it into the swing set pole.

Both demons got up, one right in front of the other and faced off with Buffy. The first one ducked and the second one threw her knife back at her. She caught it in one hand.

The first demon rushed in to attack. Buffy kicked it swiftly in the stomach and bent to throw him over her shoulder, she smiled as it landed on the picnic table behind her. She turned and stabbed down into its heart with the knife.

The second demon ran off quickly seeing it’s mate die. Buffy yanked the knife back out of the dead body and turned to find it’s friend. “One down, one... gone.” She murmured as she caught a glimpse of it’s retreating back.

Buffy didn’t notice the blood on the back of her hand. It was glowing and then it just faded into her skin unnoticed.

“You touched one of the demons?” Giles asked worriedly.

“A good touch, not a bad touch. Anyway, it's been itching like crazy. No big, just another problem for the good people at Lubriderm, right?” She quipped.

“That's the demon in question?” Giles asked, pointing at the open book in front of her.

“In the disgusting flesh.” Buffy shuddered.

“There could be any number of explanations for your hand. A new fabric softener can cause irritation. In any case, I would advise not to attempt to track the one that got away. Let's minimize your exposure.” Giles said polishing his glasses.

Buffy was walking down the hallway at school and a very strange thing happened to her. “Hey Xand!” She shouted to her best friend.

“Hey Buff.” Xander said jogging up to her. ‘So have you seen captain peroxide since you kissed him?’ He wondered silently.

“No…I haven’t seen him.” She replied.

“Who?” Xander asked.

“Spike. I haven’t seen him since the spell.” Buffy lied easily to her best friend.

“Who said anything about Spike?”

“I thought that’s who you meant when you said ‘captain peroxide’” Buffy replied, confusion on her face.

“I said that out loud ?” Xander squeaked.

I mean, look at that body. God, I would love to shove her against that locker right now and just oooh. There was a guy standing right in front of her smiling gently and having those thoughts about her.

Buffy squeaked in disgust and turned in the direction of the library.
’Giles can help.’

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Buffy was not paying attention to where she was going. She found the voices distracting, but soon realized if she didn’t look directly at anyone she wouldn’t know who said what. It was safer for them that way. ‘I’ll shove him up against a locker and uhhhh.’

So when the callused pair of pale white hands reached out from the janitor closet and pulled her in she didn’t react fast enough to stop it from happening.

“Spike!” She squeaked. “What are you doing here? Daylight! You wanna end up dust?” She asked

‘Schlyer you’re so…beauishful.’ Spike scowled at her. “I came to talk to you, sumpin I need ta shay.”

“Are you drunk?” She asked looking into his eyes.

‘Had to do sumpin to numb these feelings.’ Spike grinned sheepishly. “I’m…yeah…a little.” He admitted.

“Are you crazy?” She asked.

‘Only about you schweetheart. Your scent. Your skin.’ Spike’s tongue darted out of his mouth wetting his lips.

Buffy gulped and watched the path his cool moist tongue took. “Spike. I’ve gotta go…” She said trying to push past him.

“Wait. Buffy…” Spike pleaded. ‘I love you don’t leave me.’

The sound of her name and the words in his head stopped her cold.

“Spike?”

“I…I…” Spike sighed and closed his eyes. This is so hard.

When he opened his eyes again she was staring intently at him.

“You call to me Buffy…ever since…ever since I tasted you…it’s like…” He sighed. ‘I know where you are. I know if you’re fighting…’ His eyes sought hers. “It’s like there’s a part of you…inside of me. Calling to me, making me want you. Craving the feel of your flesh beneath my hands. I feel like…” He leaned closer. You belong to me.

“I want you all the bloody time.” Spike growled softly. ‘I’ve tried to ignore it. I’ve tried to drink it away. But it’s still bloody there. It’s always there.’

“I can’t deal with this right now…” She murmured. Tears forming in her eyes. ‘And I sure as hell can’t tell you I feel the same way.’

‘Oh kitten don’t cry. Pleashe don’t cry.’ Spike sighed. “Ok.” He turned from the door and didn’t try to stop her from leaving. Buffy brushed quickly by him and hesitated at the door, her hand on the knob.

Before she could stop herself she turned on her heal and grabbed his face between her tiny hands. She pulled the startled vamp towards her and kissed him longingly. “We’ll talk later.” She whispered.

His arms automatically snaked their way around her waist. Promise me.

“I promise Spike.” Buffy sighed contentedly. ‘Feels so good to be in his arms.’

His blue eyes widened in surprise and he pulled her in for another kiss.

“I’ll see you later.” She whispered and was out the door.

“Buffy, slow down. I'm not even convinced that this is genuine mind reading. You're most likely projecting your…” Giles started to say.

“When I walked in a few minutes ago, you thought 'Look at her shoes. If a fashion magazine told her to, she'd wear cats strapped to her feet.” Buffy said looking strait into his eyes.

“I...um...” Giles fumbled for a reply. ‘The demons are telepathic. I should have known. That's why they didn't need mouths.’

“Of course, demons are telepathic!” Giles cried snapping his fingers.

“I know, you just told me. That's why they don’t need mouths. And you should have known.” Buffy rolled her eyes.

“This is astounding.” Giles said in wonderment.

“It was happening out in the hallway. Principal Snyder has ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’ stuck in his head. And the boys at this school are seriously disturbed. It's weird, but Giles, think about it. Think about what I could do.” Buffy said a small smile playing about her lips.

“It could be very useful. You could anticipate your opponent's every move. Turn his plans against him.”

“Oh, way better than that.” Buffy’s smile was genuine.

“Uh, mom, I'm fine.”

“How about, some soup? Chicken and stars.”

“Mom, please, just come sit with me.”

“I've uh, I've got laundry.” Joyce stammered. ‘Ok. Don’t think about the fact that you had sex with your daughter’s watcher.’

“Why are you...?” She sat bolt upright in bed. “You had sex with Giles?!”

Joyce gasped.

“YOU HAD SEX WITH GILES?!” Buffy screamed indignantly.

“It was the candy! We were teenagers!” Joyce murmured retreating towards the door. ‘Don’t think about it being on the hood of a police car.’

“On the hood of a police car?!?”

“I'll be downstairs. You feel better.” Joyce stopped at the door, she quickly turned away and ran for the stairs. ‘Twice. Boy that man has stamina.’

“TWICE!!!!” Buffy called after her.

“Buffy's being driven mad, we have no proof that this is going to work, and it still requires the heart of the second demon, which we have no idea how to get without the slayer.” Giles said frustration evident on his face.

“Negative thinking doesn't solve problems.” Willow said softly

“Who is going to get the demon heart?” Giles sighed and rubbed a weary hand over his tired face.

“Spike!” Giles shouted happily as the bleach blond vampire entered the library.

The creature was flying through the air. It landed none-to-gently, as it smashed into a picnic table. It hopped back up and Spike stepped in to throw a punch. It dodged.

The demon punched Spike. Spike shrugged it off and returned with a punch of his own, He stepped in to throw the creature up onto a second picnic table.

The demon got back to its feet as Spike leapt up onto the table.

Spike gave it a solid punch to the stomach. It back flipped off of the table. Spike jumped down. They wrestled for a moment until Spike got the upper hand. He twisted the creature’s arm and threw it into the jungle gym.

He strode forward to continue but the demon backhanded him, knocking him to the ground. Spike shook his head. He recovered from the blow. He looked up to see the demon running to escape.

Spike got to his feet, the predator in him gave a feral growl. ‘You’re Buffy’s cure mate. You gotta die.’ The vampire hunted the creature.

Buffy was still in bed the next morning. Joyce sat, curled up with a blanket on a chair in Buffy's room. Buffy was asleep, tossing and turning.

Her friends all sat downstairs in the living room keeping a silent vigil.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The silence was deafening. When there was a knock on the door it startled them all. Giles bolted for the door.

He opened the door wide and a smoking figure covered in a blanket stepped inside. He pulled the blanket off and held out a vial of glowing blue liquid. “I got it.”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Spike slowly opened the door. Joyce stood from her chair and made her way over to where he stood. She reached out for him. Spike pulled her into a soft hug. “She’ll be ok mum. I promise.” He said softly.

“Thanks Spike.” She said softly as she let him go. Joyce quietly left the room. She shut the door behind her.

Spike set the potion on a burner. He sat down on her bed and pulled Buffy up into his arms.

“Uh, no.” Buffy was in a daze, she was confused and tried to push him away. She tried to struggle

“I'm gonna help you.” Spike said softly. He grabbed the potion and tried to feed it to her. Buffy’s struggles became frantic.

Spike growled warningly. He placed his wrinklies against the mark he left on her neck, She quieted somewhat.

Spike then brought his blunt teeth to the mark.

Even in her delirium she recognized his claim on her. She was satisfied this vampire before her wouldn’t hurt and she let him bring the potion gently to her lips.

Spike set the potion aside and laid her gently back on to the pillow. She seemed a little better. He kissed her forehead softly and she snaked her arms around his neck.

Buffy pulled him down beside her and Spike didn’t resist. He lay beside his once mortal enemy, wrapping her in his arms and purring contentedly.

Buffy and Willow sat outside of the school, waiting for the bell to ring.
“Giles!” Buffy said surprised when he walked up to her. ‘I hope he didn’t overhear me telling Willow I know about him and my mom.’

“Uh…I’ve got to…uh…bye…” Willow stammered, she turned a thousand shades of red. She waved and quickly ran off.

Buffy waved bye to her best friend. ‘Can’t blame her for not sticking around.’

“Bye” Giles murmured. ‘Strange girl.’ He smiled to himself.

“How are you feeling today?” Giles asked ‘Can you still hear my thoughts?’

“Loving the quiet. Nobody in here but me.” She said relieved.

“I'm glad to see you've recovered from your psychic encounter more or less intact. Feel up to some training?” Giles asked

“Sure. We can work out after school. You know, if you're not too busy having sex with my MOTHER!” Buffy said sarcastically.

Giles didn’t see the tree coming and walked right into it.
