eyes. “Didn’t you listen to a damn thing

him and groaned.
“I
thought you were trying to make up for screwing

chuckled. “Sorry for being so
blind.” Xander
sighed and pressed a kiss to Spike’s temple.

retrieve a mug of

about what to do with them?” The microwave
beeped and Spike took out the blood, nearly draining the entire mug in one
gulp.

corners of his mouth, savouring the taste of the last of his supply of human
