You promised_3


“I…I want to ask you something…Spike…I…” Buffy blushed.

“What’s that then Luv?” He watched her turn her back to him and stick a mug of blood in the microwave. WhenWhen we…when you…whydoyoubiteyourselfwhenyoucome?” She asked quickly, keeping her back to him, her eyes downcast.

“What’s that pet? I didn’t quite catch it?” Spike smirked. He knew perfectly well what she had asked. He also knew it was only a matter of time before she asked the question.

The microwave pinged and she opened the door. She grabbed the mug and placed it in front of him. Waiting until he picked it up and dutifully sipped through the straw she asked the question that had been plaguing her since the first time they had made lov…uh…had sex.

She looked at him nervously through her lashes. “Why…do you bite yourself when you come?” She asked turning so red she was almost purple.

Spike was on his feet in an instane cae came around the island and pulled her back against him. “Breathe Luv, breathe…” He murmured softly in her ear, stroking her silky hair between his fingers.

“I need to know…” She was trembling.

“I…well I want to bite you…but I can’t very well do that now can I?”

“Why not?” She whispered.

He grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her to face him. He looked into her eyes and said solemnly. “I love you Buffy. You…you’re everything I’ve dreamed aboutove ove you so much, and I’d never hurt you Luv…”

“I know you wouldn’t…but…I mean you could make it feel good right?” She asked nervously, biting her lip and staring at the floor. “Angelus…”

She fell silent at the deep vicious growl emanating from deep within Spike’s chest. He pressed his arousal into her mound, trapping her against the counter. She gasped and looked up into his yellow eyes.

“Did he bite you?” Spike growled venomously.

“N-no…Angelus didn’t…I made Angel do it once…and I almost…”

“You are MINE” Spike growled pressing his lips to hers in a violent bruising passionate kiss, cutting her lips slightly and tasting her blood for the first time. He pulled back, blue eyes searching her green ones. He licked her blood from his lips, bringing his thumb up to wipe away the blood on her mouth.

She whimpered, knees buckling, she would have fallen to the floor if he weren’t pressed so intimately against her. Still.

“Spike I…” She panted, her arm curling around his neck she pulled him towards her lips again.

Spike growled hungrily into her mouth, tongue stroking hers. She lifted one leg and wrapped it around his waist. Spike grabbed her other leg by the knee and lifted her up onto the counter.

She bucked her hips against him, trying desperately to seek enough friction. “Uhhhh…too many clothes…” She panted into his mouth. She grabbed his T-shirt at the neck and ripped it from his body.

Spike nuzzled into her neck, giving her a few precious moments to breathe in much needed lung fulls of air. “You are so bloody amazing…” He whispered softly into her ear. He pulled her shirt up, exposing the beautifully tanned golden skin of her stomach.

“Mmmm so warm…so much life…” He whispered pulling the shirt up over her head. Buffy moaned as he leaned forward and sucked one nipple into his mouth through the lace of her bra.

She arched her back and dug her finailnails into his biceps. “Need you inside me…” She moaned, feeling pan panties becoming uncomfortably damp.

“Mmmm yeah…” Spike laid her back gently on the counter. He slowly undid her jeans; much to her impatience he leaned forward and kissed her stomach softly. She tugged his hair.

He smirked and worked his way up her body stopping at her mouth. He kissed her softly, both palms coming to rest on her breasts. She arched her back and thrust her hips up to meet his. Sppullpulled her up against him and placed her feet on the ground.

He turned her around so her back was to him and placed her hands against the counter. She could feel the cold tile beneath her hands. She shuddered as she felt him slide her pants down her legs. He pulled them down to her knees and pushed her to lean forward slightly. He positioned himself at her soaked core and slid home.

“Ahhhhh.” Buffy screamed, thrusting back to meet him. Spike grabbed her hips with bruising force, slamming into her.

“Yes…harder…Spike…” She screamed quickening the rhythm of their dance. His fingers found their way to her clit and began stroking her. “Amazing…” He whispered into her ear, his other hand snaking it’s way around her waist.

“Gonna come Spike…come with me…please…” She begged grinding harder She felt the arm around her waist loosening. “No…don’t let go…”

Spike growled hungrily. His passion for her would never be satiated. She felt the growl deep in her bones. She covered his arm with hers and tightened her grip. “Need to…” He tried to loosen his grip again, but she held on stubbornly. She tossed her hair to one side.
“Please…I want…please Spike…I trust you…”

I was those last three words that had his fangs buried deep into the back of her shoulder before he could register a thought about what he was doing. Suddenly she was screaming, writhing in his arms, having just experienced the most intense orgasm she’d ever had.

Spike lost control, spilling his seed inside of her, back arching, and whole body tensing, as an earth shatterirgasrgasm overtook him. When he came to his senses she was leaning unsteadily against the counter and he still had his fangs buried in her flesh, although he was no longer drinking. His cock was still buried inside of her, and hardening again.

She whimpered softly as he extracted his fangs and gently licked at the wound he had inflicted.

“Luv?” He whispered, unsure if she was ok or if he had taken too much. He wasn’t ready to ask the question though.

“More…” She pushed back against him as she felt him harden inside of her.

“Need to look into your eyes luv…” He said softly, pulling out and turning her to face him. He lifted her gently onto the counter. She leaned back gratefully, her flushed body coming in contact with the cool tile beneath her.

Spike, despite his painfully bingbingly hard cock, took his time removing her shoes, jeans and panties. He knew that if he didn’t he might un-intentionally hurt her, he was so aroused and he wanted her passionately. He wanted to ravage her, fuck and bite her, claim her, make her his.

So he took his time, calming the beast within. He brought the scrap of lace to his nose and inhaled her womanly scent. He stood up, hovering over her and looked deep into her eyes. “I didn’t take too much did I?” He asked softly.

“No…god that was…I saw stars…I want you to do it again…”

He needed no further invitation and thrust slowly into her. He looked into her eyes and saw something he had never seen directed at him by another person before, alive or dead. Awe. He closed his eyes and savored it for a moment. ‘Ok, so t’s not love. Yet. It could be. It damn well could be.’

“Buffy” He whispered worshipfully, leaning down and capturing her lips in a tender kiss. She wept with the intensity of the things he was making her feel. “Oh Baby…don’t cry…” He murmured kissing away her tears.

“I can’t help it, I’m just so…Oh god…I’m gonna come Spike…Come with me…” She whispered.

Spike’s thrusting increased and he growled possessively as he vamped. He leaned towards her neck and licked a trail of fire over her skin, down over her collarbone to her breast. He sank his fangs into the tender flesh and shattered as her quim gripped him tighter and she moaned eligelight. They lay there, her panting and him inhaling her scent for what ed led like hours, momentarily sated.

“Was…was that ok? I didn’t hurt you did I?” He asked looking into her eyes after he had recovered.

“No. You didn’t hurt me.” Her eyes welled up as she saw the raw emotion in his eyes. “You were perfect. Thas…” s…”

“Yeah.” He kissed her softly again and helped her from the counter.

“Well?” He asked peering around her and into the mirror so he could look into her eyes.

“You can’t see it through my shirt. Why did you do that? You could have…I would have let you…where anyone could see it…”

‘Yeah and then you’d wear a scarf for the rest of your life so you didn’t have to tell your friends.’ He sighed and shrugged. “If you won’t tell them luv…they’ll never know. I w spi spill our little secret.”

She turned to look at him and before he could turn fully away she saw the hurt in his eyes. ‘I know I should tell them. I just don’t know how. Hey guys…you know Spike…the demon that is supposedly residing in my basement right now? Well…he’s really been staying in my room for the last month and we have the most fantastic amazing sex EVERY night, and sometimes in the afternoon…mornings too… Oh and hey guess what else…I let him bite me now while he fucks me with such intensity I can hardly breathe. Uh huh. That would go over really well.’

“Wow Anya. They’re beautiful.” Willow grinned staring at the dresses Anya had picked out for the four girls. They were a deep burgundy color, rich velvet that hung to the floor. It had thin spaghetti straps and a slit up the side that would rest about mid-thigh.

“Yeah I’m rally glad you didn’t go with the traditional blood larva and burlap.” Buffy said sincerely. She fell in love with the dresses the instant she saw them, just like the rest of the girls.

Anya looked around at the assembled female scoobies. “Thank you guys. I mean that. It wouldn’t be the same without you…Oh god! I’m getting married! It’s really happening. Can you believe it?”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“Uhhh. If I open one more bill that is threatening to disconnect me I’m gonna scream.” Buffy said angrily tossing the opened bills into a drawer and mingming it shut.

“How bout if I get a job Buffy? I mean a paying one, not just a paying Anya back for the stuff I stole job.”

“No Dawn. No. I just have to wait another week and I get my first paycheck from my new Job. I’m just venting.” She didn’t notice the bleached blonde vampire standing at the door listening intently. She didn’t see him when he turned and fled from the house. In fact, she didn’t see him again that night until he joined her in bed once Dawn was asleep.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“Please, let me give you some money Luv.” Spike was pleading. Again.

“No. I said no a thousand times already Spike. What’s with you?” Buffy asked irritably, stretching and leaning against him. He wrapped his arms tighter around her and kissed her shouldoftloftly.

“I just…I don’t want to se you suffer. I hate the fact that you have to work when there is enough depending on you.”

“Look Spike. You already got your way. I quit the double meat and found something better and yet here you are complaining again. You just don’t understand. I have responsibilities, I have to work. I have bills to pay.”

“Don’t. You left the double meat cause soldier boy asked you to. Had nothing to do with me.” He said angrily.

“That’s not the point.” She sighed.

“I just want to make it easier for you. At least let me pay some of the bills that are pilling up. You could pay me back eventually if it would make you feel better…”

“What part of ‘no’ do you not understand? Look…” She turned to face him and rested her chin on his chest so she could look into his eyes. “If this is going to continue…I need you to be ok with this. You can’t keep harping on me. I have enough to worry about…”

Spike closed his eyes. He inhaled deeply and settled back into the pillows. “Ok Luv. Have it your way. Work yourself to death.” He turned his back to her and tried to fall asleep.

Buffy lay back against the pillows watching his back. He was still awake half an hour later when he heard her crying softly.

“You ok Luv? I’m sorry.” He asked turning over and pulling her into his arms.

“No. I’m not. Spike…I don’t mean to treat you bad. I don’t. I want to tell them about us…and I don’t want to hurt you…I just…I’m wired a certain way, and I can’t just…”

“T’s ok baby.” He said softly stroking her back. It was the first night he just held her as she slept.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

She awoke cold and alone, as she did every morning but somehow this morning, it felt awful to wake up alone. She opened her eyes and glanced at the clock just as the alarm rang. ‘Great. Gotta get Dawn up for school.’

She got up from her bed and threw on a robe. Walking into Dawn’s room she tied the sash of her robe and yawned.
wn. wn. Time to get up for school.” She shook her sister by the foot. That’s when she smelled it. “Mmm hey Dawnie…someone’s making pancakes.”

Buffy, satisfied that her sister was now awake went downstairs to investigate.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“Morning Luv. Is the bit up yet?” Spike asked gesturing with the spatula.

“You can cook? Pancakes?” She asked incredulously, staring at Spike flipping a pancake in the pan.

“Vampire yeah…I got bored, watched some cooking shows…what?” He asked when she grinned wickedly.

“Is that all you can cook or?” She walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

“I can cook anything your little heart desires…” Spike trailed off as he heard Dawn approaching. “She’s coming.”

Buffy turned from him and walked over to the table. She plunked her self down and grabbed one of the glasses of orange juice that had already been poured.

“Morning Bit. How was your sleep.”

“Morning guys. I slept well. Surprisingly well.” She smiled happily at the sight of her favorite breakfast. “Thanks Spike. I’m glad you’re here to make breakfast once in a while so I don’t have to suffer through Buffy’s cooking every day.”

“Hey!!! Sitting right here.” Buffy was outraged.

“T’s ok Luv, everyonows ows you can’t cook.”

“I get your blood the right temperature don’t I?” She asked glaring venomously at him.

“Yeah, but micro waving doesn’t count luv. Yon’t n’t even boil water.”

“I can so. I just get distracted easily.” She pouted.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“Spike, I should have know you'd be tagging along.” Xander snarked.

“What do you expect Xand. He’s staying at my house, and if he’s with me I know he’s not out doing something evil.” She cringed as soon as the words left her mouth. ‘Open mouth insert foot.’

“Tell you what, Slayer, let me get out of your way, stop bothering you. I’ll just go hang withwith the other lowlifes. Let me know when you want a ride home.” Spike said quietly. He stepped around her and made his way towards the bar.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

She watched furiously as he danced with some vapid ho. She tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for the dance to end.

When it did he made his way back to the bar and ordered another drink.

“What the hell was that?” She asked angrily, coming up behind him. She was seething.

“What was what Luv?” Spike smirked knowing how he had pissed her off. He turned to face her,browbrow cockily raised.

“You with that…that…”

“Girl?”

“Yeah…ok. I was going to say vapid ho…but let’s go with girl.”

“Someone’s jealous.” He sat on a stool still facing her.

“I’m not jealous. I’m…”

“Jealous?” Spike offered. She glared at him.

“No. I want to go home.” She growled grabbing him by the lapels of his duster and pulling him to his feet.

“Better watch it luv. You’re pals are staring…” Spgringrinned glancing over her shoulder.

“I don’t care. Move it.” She said dangerously.

Spike smirked and made his way to the door. He waited there for her to say goodbye to her friends.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As soon as the door to her house shut behind her she pushed him up against it. She smashed her mouth into his reaching inside his pants to encircle him. He was hard already. He had been since she walked up to him after his innocent little dance, breasts heaving in anger.

“You’re MINE. Don’t you ever…” She growled unbuttoning his pants with her other hand, she gripped the waist band and pushed them down his legs. She ripped his boots from his feet violently, almost causing him to fall over.

“Whoa, easy slayer…” Spike said softly crouching down and taking her face in his hands. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She opened them again and stood up. “Let’s go upstairs…” She said softly. She waited for him to
removs pas pants the rest of the way and then pulled him along behind her.
