Lovers Walk

Chapter Nineteen: Mine


Ravyn stirred from a restful days sleep. She felt warm and snuggled into the blankets when her hand came into contact with something. She opened her eyes and say Spike smiling down at her.

"What are you doing?" she asked him, a smile now curving her lips.

Spike leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. "Watching you sleep"

"Haven't you done that enough already?"

"Yeah, but I knew you were going wake up this time."

"And if I wouldn't have?"

Spike's features changed as the words left her mouth. Ravyn felt sorry she had said it. The pain that crossed his face broke her heart. Shened ned up and kissed him hopeing it would reassure him that she'd always be there.

"Sorry" she said softly against his lips. "It's just weird knowing you care."

"I've always cared Ravyn."

Ravyn laid her head back down. He was staring at her again. She had the hardest time keeping eye contact with him sometimes when he did that. It was as if he could see clean through her and knew what she was thinking.

"Why do you do that?" he asked when she averted her eyes from him.

"Why do I do what?"

"Look away when I look at you sometimes."

"I don't know." she said with a shrug of her shoulders. "Just freaks me out sometimes"

"Why?"

"Don't know...just does." she said, looking down again.

Spike pushed her hair away from her face. He had always wondered why she did that. It wasn't the first time he had noticed it either. He wondered if it was him or something in her that made her do it.

"Look at me" he asked her softly.

Ravyn looked back up at him.

"Don't look away." Spike told her as he fixed his eyes on hers.

Ravyn looked into his eyes and instantly felt uncomfortable by the intensity of his stare. She couldn't explain it to him, she didn't even know herself. She glanced down for a second and met his eyes again.

"You looked away. Only for a second...but you did."

"So"

"So, what you hidden" he asked with a grin.

Ravyn giggled. "What? I'm not hiding anything."

"Yes you are." he said kissing her on the nose.

"Your crazy" she said as she tried to get out of bed only to be drug back by his arm around her waist.

"You're not going anywhere yet missy. Get back over here and look at me"

Ravyn giggled as he lightly tickled her. She flung her arms around his neck and pulled in down for a kiss.

"I need a shower" she said as she broke the kiss off. "And I'm hungry. So get your cute ass out of bed and go get me something."

"Cute!" he yelled, scowling at her. "I'm NOT cute! Puppies are cute. I'm handsome, sexy even"

Ravyn bust out laughing at the face he was making. He growled at her only causing her laughter to increase.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You" she said as her laughing died down.

"You're deranged, you know that?" he asked her, a huge smile on his face.

"Yeah, and you love it" she said smiling at him.

"Yeah, that I do." he said smiling before placing another chaste kiss on her lips.

"Your my, big bad, evil, devilishly handsome, sexy vampire." she said seductively as she wrapped her arms back around his neck.

"See, that's much better." he said. "You need to remember that in the future."

"Yeah well, sexy vampire of mine...I need a shower and I'm still hungry!" Ravyn said with a smile still plastered on her face.

"Fine...go shower and I'll get you something to eat." Spike said as he climbed out of bed and slipped his pants on.

Ravyn grabbed a robe that was laying on the small chair by the bed. She stood up and steadied herself before slipping it on. As she took a couple steps forward, her legs gave out and she tumbled to the floor.

"Ravyn!" Spike yelled as he saw her fall and was by her side in an instant.

"I'm okay Spike. Just haven't used my legs in a while. That's all." she tried to reassure him as she saw his frightened face.

Spike's whole body was tingling. Seeing her fall had scared him almost as bad as the whole `coma' thing had. "god, are you okay." he asked as he picked her up and sat her on his lap in the chair.

"Yeah, I'm fine." she said placing her hand on the side of his face. "I just lost my balance is all."

Spike put his head on her shoulder and sighed. `Don't scare me like that." he said raising his head back up and kissing her lightly.

"I'm sorry, didn't know I was going to nose dive." she said with a tiny smile.

"Well, sit here and I'll help you after I get you something to eat." he told her as he stood up and sat her back on the bed.

"I can walk Spike, I don't need you to baby me." she said getting slightly irritated. She had had enough of men doing everything for her to last a lifetime...and then some.

"I said sit!" he told her pointing to the bed. "If your not there when I get back, I'll tan your hide. Got it!"

"Fine, whatever" she said with a huff and crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at him.

"Good" he said as he leaned down and kissed her. "I'll be right back."

Ravyn watched him leave the room and listened for his footsteps on the stairs. When she knew he was up, she stood up slowly and walked over to the chair. She stood there a minute, getting her legs to work before slowly making her way into the small bathroom in the corner of the room.

"tell me what to do, who does he think he is, don't need anyone to boss me around..." she said quietly under her breath as she opened the small bathroom door.

Ravyn walked to the shower and turned the water on before discarding her robe and climbing in. The hot water felt good as it ran down her back. She tilted her head forward and wet her hair before raising her head back up. She let out a long sigh as she grabbed the shampoo bottle and began to wash her long hair. *I really need to get this cut* she thought to herself as she pulled her long locks around in front of her and rubbed the shampoo in.

Spike walked back into the room a few minutes later and heard the shower running. He clinched his jaw and walked to the small table and slammed the cup down before walking to the bathroom door. *She is so going to get it* he said to himself, mad that she hadn't listened to him...again. He swung the door open and marched over to the shower and jerked the curtain back.

"I thought I told you to sit!"

Ravyn turned her head and smiled at him. "And when have I ever listened to you?"

Spike glared at her before letting the shower curtain fall when she turned her head back around and started rinsing her hair. He could hear her snicker at him and a smirk crossed his face as he took his pants off. He quietly stepped into the shower and walked up behind her. He wrapped one arm around her waist and heard her gasp, then he brought his other hand forward, slapping her hard on her wet ass. Ravyn screamed as his hand made contact.

"Awwww Spike!...What the fuck is wrong with you!" she said yelling at him as she turned her head to look at him.

"Did I not tell you to sit and what would happen if you didn't?" he said smirking at her.

"You asshole! Don't you ever do that again!" she said as she tried to get out of his grip, tears stinging her eyes.

Spike looked down at the rosy little hand print on her right cheek. "Look's tanned to me" he told her as he looked back up. "Maybe you'll listen from now own"

"I doubt it!" she spat out at him.

Spike ran his hand over the red hand print he had given her as his other hand found her breast.

"I'm trying to shower, so stop your messing." she told him, still mad.

You know you don't want me to." he whispered in her ear as he pinched her erect nipple lightly.

Ravyn closed her eyes as his hands roamed over her body. She was still mad at him, but just one touch and she was gone. She tilted her head back and let the water run down her chest. Spike was kissing and licking her neck as his hand slid down to the junction between her legs.

Spike heard her gasp as he ran a finger between the folds of her sex. He rubbed at her hardened nub until she was slightly bucking her hips forward. Reaching down further, he inserted his finger into her wet center and pushed into her before pulling his digit out and inserting another. He watched her face as her mouth opened slightly, her head flung back. He added a third finger and stroked her clit with his thumb as he continued to watch her. The look on her face was what he was after. The pleasure he was giving her was almost reward enough. He increased his pace as he felt her muscles clamp down around his fingers. Ravyn bucked against his hand as she moaned from the intense pleasure he was giving her.

Ravyn put one hand on the wall to brace herself as she felt her orgasm approach. She opened her eyes and saw Spike watching her, a small smile on his face.

"You like that?" he asked her softly.

Ravyn could only nod her head. She couldn't get the words to come out as she squinted her eyes shut. She grabbed his shoulder with her free arm and threw her head back as she climaxed around his fingers, screaming his name as she did.

Spike grabbed her around the waist and held her up as her head rolled forward onto his shoulder. He continued slowly pumping his fingers in her to prolong her stiontion as he felt her body start to tremble.

Ravyn lifted her head and Spike slowly pulled his fingers out, rubbing her with the palm of his hand. He bent his head down and kissed her hard, his tongue thrusting into her mouth as her arm wound around his neck. He backed her up against the wall as she reached down and grabbed his swollen cock and stroked him hard and fast, matching the movements his tongue was making inside her mouth. He was moaning and bucking into her hand as she brought her other hand down and cupped his sak in her hand, rolling it slightly as she broke the kiss.

She kissed down his jaw line and continued down his neck, licking the barley visible bite mark she had given him before she turned him and braced him against the wall. She kissed a trail down his chest and bit lightly on his nipple getting a small moan out of him before she dropped to her knees and took his length into her mouth.

Spike gasped as she engulfed him. She put her hands on either side of his hips and held him as she slowly pulled back and circled the tip with her tongue. She looked up at him, his head was back against the wall and his mouth was open. He was panting as he brought a hand down and placed it on her head. She took him in her mouth again, as her hands roamed every inch of his body she could touch and scraped her teeth over him lightly as she ran down his length and back up again. He moaned as he bucked his hips forward and held her head in place. He lifted his head and looked down at her, watching himself slid in and out of her mouth as he continued pumping into her.

"god Ravyn...ahhh.." he said before his eyes shut and he flung his head back again.

Ravyn reached around him and grabbed his ass while she buried her nose in the wiry hair at the base of his cock before slowly pulling him out of her mouth. She felt him tremble slightly and sucked him all the way back in as he wrapped her hair around his hand. She sucked hard as he began pumping into her mouth, gasping for unneeded air as his orgasm hit him. He yelled and pulled her hair as he shot his seed deep into her throat. Ravyn swallowed his load and moaned as it slid down her throat.

Spike grabbed her by the shoulders and jerked her up to him, crushing his mouth to hers. He tasted himself in her mouth as he pushed his tongue inside, entangling it with hers.

Ravyn pushed her body against his and grabbed his head holding him to her as their tongues danced and explored each other. Spike's hands were roaming her body as she moaned deep in her throat. She slid her leg in between his and felt him harden once again as it made contact with her thigh.

Spike broke the kiss and swung her around facing the wall and placed her hands on either side of her head before he parted her legs. He grabbed her around the waist with one arm and lifted her hips up slightly, while positioning his now hard member at her opening and thrust into her with a hard steady movement before pulling out and slamming into her again. He moved her hair away from her neck and bite down with his blunt teeth as he continued to pump into her at a frantic pace.

Ravyn was gasping for air as he slammed into her sending shocks of pleasure throughout her body. She leaned her head back towards him as he nipped at her neck.

"oh god....Spike.. harder..harder.." she gasped out.

Spike grabbed her hips and leaned back slightly as he thrust into her bucking wildly as he felt his balls tighten, before he exploded inside her.

Ravyn's whole body was trembling as Spike pounded into her. He brought his hand around and stroked her clit as she felt her orgasm building. Spike smiled as he heard her moaning, softly chanting his name as he brought his free arm up and wrapped it around the front of her shoulders, before he extended his fangs and buried them in her neck. As he felt the blood rush into his mouth he felt her tighten around his shaft, as she screamed out his name. He held her tightly to him as he drank her, feeling her trembling in his arms. He pulled his head back, ripping at the skin on her neck where his fangs were inserted before pulling his teeth from her skin.

He pulled his shaft from her and flipped her around, facing him and crushed his mouth to hers. Ravyn tasted the blood and growled softly as Spike pulled away from her. He looked at her with yellow eyes and held her tightly as he gripped her hair in his hand.

"Your mine!" he said, growling as he did. "My mate...mine!" he added, jerking on her body as he held her.

Ravyn wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him with every bit of passion she had for him. He continued to growl deeply in his throat as their tongues dueled for dominance. He was gripping her so tightly she thought he would break her ribs as he ground his body into hers. The intensity of this kiss was more than either had ever experienced, with each other or anyone before. It was as hungry and demanding as their need for one another was.

Spike pulled back from her lips panting, as he put his forehead against hers.

"You're mine." he said softly. "Always and forever"

Ravyn put both her hands on the side of his face and kissed him softly on the lips.

"Yours" she whispered against his lips. "Always and Forever."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Spike couldn't stop staring at Ravyn as she sat at Eddie's Dining Room table talking to him about the Initiative. He didn't know what possessed him to claim her as a mate. Claiming was usually done as a mutual agreement by both parties, not just one. So her acceptance of the claim is what surprised him the most.

He had lost control, his desire for her was overwhelming. His need for her to be `his' was what brought on the claim. She made him feel alive. She was what made his heart beat. The long dead organ beat only for her, and because of her.

He spent 100 years with Drucilla and never once did they claim each other as a mate, which is why claiming Ravyn was so unbelievable to him. Not that he hadn't thought about claiming Drucilla, but his desire to make her his was never felt like he felt it for Ravyn. She `was' his...in every way now.

He could see the mark, his bite on her neck. She was marked as his. Never to be touched by another...*unless they wanted to find themselves really dead* he thought, smiling to himself.

He was brought out of his musings of her by her giggling. He focused his eyes on her and she was staring at him....and so was Eddie he noticed.

"He does that sometimes...just zones right out" Ravyn told Eddie, never taking her eyes off Spike smiling. "Makes me wonder where he goes."

Spike smiled back at her. "Was thinking about you actually."

"Really? What about?"

"Can't say infront of the Doc." he said winking at her.

Ravyn smiled at him as she stood up to take her cup into the Kitchen. She was almost through the doorway when she felt dizzy and grabbed onto the door frame to steady herself.

Eddie had been talking to Spike when he saw her out of the corner of his eye. He turned to look at her just as the cup slipped from her hand and she fell to the floor.

"Ravyn" Eddie said as he jumped from his chair, Spike right behind him.

Spike grabbed her up and noticed she was out cold. Eddie had rushed into the kitchen and wet a towel, as Ravyn had a small cut on her forehead from the broken cup.

"Here Spike" Eddie said as he handed him the towel.

Spike dabbed at the cut, worry etching across his face.

"Come on luv, wake up" he said softly to her as he rocked her in his arms. "She fell last night when she got out of bed, but she didn't pass out" Spike told Eddie as he handed him the towel back and stood up, cradling her body to his. He carried her into the Living Room and laid her on the couch, pushing her hair away from her face as he knelt in the floor beside her.

"Might just be exhaustion. She may have been out for a month, but the way you two have been at it, it's no wonder." Eddie said with a sly grin. "These walls are pretty thin."

Spike looked sheepishly at him. "sorry" he mumbled before turning his attention back to Ravyn.

"Ah, don't be. I'd be worried if you weren't."

"Ravyn....come on pet" Spike said getting more worried by the minute. "Wake up"

Eddie watched and felt for Spike. He had been through so must already with her, he hated to see him get thrown back into it. He really liked Spike. He was different from any vampire he had ever seen. Most were cold and ruled by their demon. Spike wasn't. He controlled his demon, as did Ravyn. He wondered if that chip really had made a difference or if they were both just the exception to the rule.

Eddie sat down on the chair beside the sofa and watched. He had never seen such devotion from one to another, especially in a species that were notorious for their `own' self preservation. He had no doubt that Spike truly loved Ravyn and it made him envious of him to know that she returned his love just as much.

Ravyn turned her head, ever so lightly as she heard Spike talking to her. Her mind was a blur, with no coherent thoughts being able to surface. As her head began to stop spinning she was able to flutter her eyes open before they shut again.

"That's it, come on luv...open your eyes." Spike said as he saw her eyelids open slightly.

Ravyn slowly tried to open her eyes as the world was gradually coming back to her. She could hear Spike more clearly now, and could hear the fear in his voice.

"Spike" she whispered, wanting him to know she was okay.

"Hey, that's my girl...come on now"

Spike grabbed her hand and she squeezed it. He brought it to his lips and kissed the back of it and held it to his mouth. He sighed as he realized she was slowly waking up.

Ravyn opened her eyes and blinked a few times before she was able to keep them open. She turned her head to the side and looked into Spike's eyes. His fear was enough to scare even her. He leaned down and placed a small kiss on her lips before resting his head on her shoulder. He never said a word. Just laid there and ran his free hand through her hair.

"I'm okay" she whispered softly to him.

He nodded his head, but never raised it. Ravyn brought her hand up and placed it on the back of his head and kissed him on the temple and just held his head there. She saw Eddie stand and exit the room, smiling at her before doing so.

"Spike...Spike, look at me.....please" she asked him softly.

Spike sighed and raised his head. Ravyn ran her hand down the side of his face and smiled weakly at him. "You really are gonna have that heart attack one of these days if you don't stop getting so worked up."

He just sat there on his knees and looked at her. This time she didn't look away. She held his gaze and saw every emotion he was feeling flash in his eyes. She saw his pain, his fear, and his love for her. She felt the tears start to sting her eyes when she realized that he truly did love her. It wasn't just the `trauma' that had caused it. It was her. He wanted her and needed her and loved her. As the first tear rolled down her cheek, Spike stood up and lifted her off the couch and carried her back downstairs to their little bed. He wrapped her in his arms and laid there holding her, still never saying a word.

"I love you" Ravyn said quietly.

"I know you do" he said softly, placing a kiss on her forehead. "I love you to"

"Then what's wrong?"

Spike sighed and scooted down the bed so he could look at her. "I've been in love 4 times is my existence. Spent 100 years with ones of those, loony as she was, but you're the first one who ever loved me back." he told her sadly, his eyes glossy with tears. "I can't lose you"

"How do you know they didn't?" she asked rubbing her hand down the side of his face.

"Because what I see when I look in your eyes, I never saw when I looked at them." he said softly, his voice crackling with emotion.

"Spike" Ravyn said softly as his tears rolled down his face. Her heart was breaking for him. This man had lived for over 130 years and had never felt truly loved. She wondered how he even managed to be the way he is now knowing this. One would think he would be cold hearted by now...not loving and devoted.

Ravyn kissed him softly as she ran her hand down and unfastened his pants. She pulled him free and massaged him until he hardened in her hand. She broke the kiss and rolled over, removing her pants and stradled his hips before positioning him at her opening. He gasped slightly as she slid down his shaft. She rocked herself against him until his hands came forward to meet her breast. She grabs his hands and held them over his head.

"This is about you" she whispered softly to him, as more tears ran down his face. "And how much I love you"

Ravyn never took her eyes off him. She stared deep into his eyes, letting him see what she felt.

As his breathing increased and she felt his body tense up she lowered her head and exteneded her fangs, biting into his neck. He grabbed her hips and guided her pace as she drank him in and he shuttered under her, whispering her name. She felt him fill her as she pulled her head back, ripping at the skin on his neck before pulling her fangs free and licking at the wound.

"You mine!" she said, pulling his head up towards her by his hair. "My mate...mine!"

She kissed him savagely as he grabbed her, pulling her closely to him..growling softly as he did.

"Mine." she said softly breaking the kiss, never taking her eyes off him. "Always and forever"

Spike looked at her, his heart felt like it could explode as he finally knew what it felt like to be loved.

"Yours." he said, kissing her again. "Always and Forever"
