Spike knew Xander was nervous. Hell, he was, too. Not only was he on a plane over the ocean, he was also on his way to see a group of people who wanted him dead. Well, not dead, exactly, just away from Xander. Willow was the only exception to that particular rule. But, no matter how uncomfortable the visit would be, the vampire also knew there was no way they could get out of going to Willow and Kennedy's handfasting. Willow was Xander's oldest friend. To miss an event this big ... it just wouldn't be acceptable.

Looking over at Xander, Spike noticed the tension practically radiating from his body. His shoulders were tight, his face was drawn, and he looked ... distraught. It pained Spike to see. In the months since he and Xander had gotten together, the vampire had strived to not only gain the other man's trust, but also convince him that he was perfect, despite the setbacks life had dealt him. Spike knew that, while Xander's friends meant well, they weren't always the most supportive group of people in the world. In fact, sometimes they went out of their way to make things worse, all in the name of protection. Sighing, Spike realized once again that, as a whole, he would never understand humans.

Reaching over, he took his lovers hand in his, gaining Xander's attention. "I'm headed to the lav ..." he let his words trail off, hoping Xander would get his point.

He was a vampire. No need to use the facilities.

Recognition dawned in Xander's eyes and a he flashed Spike a grin as the vampire crawled over him and begin to walk up the narrow aisle toward the airplane's restroom. Spike entered the small compartment, careful not to lock the door, and hopped up onto the narrow counter to sit next to the sink. He didn't have to wait long. His boy joined him within minutes.

"Anyone see you?"

Xander shook his head. "They're all pretty much asleep."

Spike licked his lips. "I noticed."

Xander's eyes wide, Spike watched as he surveyed the small room. "Spike?" Xander asked. "What'd you have in mind?"

Smirking, Spike stood up and motioned for Xander to assume his vacated position. As Xander perched himself on the counter top, Spike checked to make sure the door was locked before turning and letting his eyes roam over his lover. "You, Xander, look good enough to eat."

A blush stole over his cheeks, and Xander nibbled on his bottom lip. "Yeah?"

"Yeah," Spike said as he stepped closer, closing the distance between them.

Wrapping his arms around Xander, Spike pressed their lips together. Xander moaned softly as Spike's tongue flicked out to caress his lips before the vampire begin to nibble on his plump bottom lip. Spike's hands roamed freely over Xander's body, tickling and stroking gently here and there, working Xander into a slight frenzy very quickly. Spike knew exactly what he was doing, exactly how to make his boy feel good. Spike easily unbuttoned Xander's shirt, teasing his nipples, making him moan.

Spike grinned into Xander's mouth when the other man gasped as the vampire lowered the zipper on his jeans, freeing Xander's erection. "Relax, luv. I've got you."

Stroking his cock a few times as he kissed his way down Xander's body, before fastening his lips around the leaking erection. Xander stifled a cry, seeming to remember just in time that they were in a public place. Spike sucked in earnest, wasting no time. His tongue seemed to dance across Xander's skin, making the other man writhe in pleasure.

His orgasm mounting quickly, Spike increased pressure on Xander's cock, causing his eyes to roll back in his head. "Oh hell, Spike," Xander murmured. "Gonna cum. Gonna cum for you."

Xander came hard, bucking out into Spike's mouth. The vampire milked him dry, licking all traces of Xander's semen from his cock. Looking up at his lover, Spike asked, "More relaxed now?"

"Mmmm," Xander replied.

Leaning up, Spike captured Xander's lips. "Mission accomplished, then."

"What about you?"

Spike smiled. "You'll owe me one."

"But..."

"No. You'll owe me one. Later. Right now, we've got to get back out there before people notice we're missing."

Xander said nothing and Spike kissed him once more. "Love you."

"Love you, too."

The End?
