Once and Again

Chapter Fifteen: Want.....Have

Ravyn surfaced from the cool ocean water's as she heard someone yell her name. Looking towards shore she saw Spike, standing there with his head in his hands.

"Spike" Ravyn yelled out to him as she started for the beach.

Spike was to horrified at the thought's of Trull coming while he was out boozing it up with the unattractive Rachel to hear Ravyn yell his name. He slowly let his hands fall to his sides, his whole body felt numb.

Ravyn continued to yell for Spike, but the sound of the crashing waves was drowning out her voice. She watched him as she swam towards shore. He had leaned over, his hands on his knees and she was starting to panic thinking something was wrong.

"Spike!" she yelled again as a giant wave crashed into her, pulling her under as it did.

Spike straightened up when he thought he heard her. He took a few steps, looking around as he did.

"Ravyn!" he yelled as hope was slowly returning.

Ravyn surfaced again and saw him looking up and down the beach.

"Spike!"

Turning, Spike looked frantically into the ocean and barely saw her head as another wave crashed. Running towards the water, he saw her as his feet hit the water.

"Ravyn" he yelled as he ran in after her, relieved she was there..

Ravyn was finally able to get a footing in the soft sand and was able to make her way through the water as Spike came towards her. The look on his face terrified her as he ran in after her. She automatically thought of one thing.....Trull.

In waist deep water he finally reached her. "Ravyn" he cried as he grabbed her around the waist, hugging her tightly to him.

"Spike, what's wrong?" Ravyn asked with a shaky voice, tears coming to her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up towards the house. She knew Trull was there. No other reason would have him that frazzled looking.

Spike buried his face in her neck as tears fell from his eyes while he clung to her. He kissed her neck and barely even noticed she was talking to him.

"Spike, you're scaring me...what's wrong?" Ravyn asked him, crying now.

Spike reached down and grabbed Ravyn's legs, wrapping them around his waist as he carried her out of the water. He was having trouble walking as the waves continued to crash into them.

Finally reaching the shore, Spike fell down to his knees, sitting Ravyn down on his lap as they slowly sank in the wet sand.

Ravyn looked around frantic as Spike kept his face in her neck. He was squeezing her tighter than he ever had.

"Spike...your braking my ribs." Ravyn told him as the pressure was beginning to get uncomfortable.

"They'll mend." Spike told her, never lifting his head or loosening his grip on her.

Ravyn didn't know what was wrong. She figured it couldn't be Trull, or they wouldn't be just sitting there. Her fear now subsiding, she just sat there, enjoying being back in her favorite place on earth. She smiled, knowing things were finally going to be 'normal' again.

Raising her hand, she lightly stroked the back of Spike's head, placing small kisses on his neck as she did. "I love you" she told him softly as they held each other.

Spike finally raised his head to look at her, loosening his grip as he brought one hand up and ran it over her cheek. "I love you too Ravyn" he said as he laid his forehead against hers. "I love you so much.....I'm sorry. I never meant......"

Ravyn silenced him with a kiss. She held her lips against his for a few seconds just enjoying the feel again before slowly moving them across his.

"I've missed you." she told him softly against his lips as she continued to kiss him.

Spike ran his hand to the back of her head and held her in place as he deepened the kiss. Tasting her as he gently stroked her tongue with his own.

The kiss was slow, each savoring the feel and taste of the other. It was gentle, coaxing. Lips and tongues licking and nipping at the other, neither ever wanting to lose what they had.

As the kiss slowly ended, Spike once again laid his forehead to hers. "I thought Trull had taken you." he told her quietly.

Ravyn smiled a little. She now knew why he looked so panicked. "I waited for you to come home......where were you?"

Spike sighed lightly. He couldn't tell her everything, she'd never believe him. "Just got a little snockered is all. Couldn't make it back." he told her, which wasn't a total lie.

"Well, serves you right getting scared then. That'll teach you to know when to come home." she said, her smile a little bigger now.

Spike finally smiled. "Yeah, guess it does."

"You still mad at me?" she asked, scared to hear the answer.

Spike leaned his head back and looked at her. "No" he said shaking his head. "I know why you did it, just took me a while to see it is all."

Ravyn sighed in relief. "I didn't mean to hurt you Spike, I just thought...."

"I know what you thought." he told her smiling. "It's okay. We'll just wait till your ready and if that time never comes...then we'll just......."

Ravyn watched him as he stopped talking. She grinned when she saw what he was looking "Se "See anything you like?" she asked, using one of his phrases.

"Plenty" Spike told her grinning. "Ummmm....I really like your swim suit."

"Yeah?" she asked him.

"Yeah" he said, still looking down at her smiling.

"Thought you might...to bad you weren't here for the unveiling."

"S'alright....looks just as good now."

"You know....since you've seen mine....maybe.....you can show me yours." she said smiling.

Spike finally looked up at her, with that cute smirk she loved. "I think we might be able to arrange that."

Ravyn smiled bigger as she pulled him in for another kiss, but this time, it was full of passion. Hot and fiery. Ravyn wrapped her legs tighter around Spike's waist, pulling herself closer to him as he ran a hand down her side to her hip and back up to her bare breast, lightly massaging it as he did.

Ravyn moaned as he lightly pinched at her nipple, arching into his hand as she did. "I want you Spike" she said softly, as she broke the kiss, licking and kissing a trail down his neck.

Spike's unnecessary breathing increased as she bite at his neck, lightly nipping at his skin. He thrust his hips forward slightly as he pulled her closer to him, grounding his growing erection into her.

Ravyn moved her hips forward, creating a friction that had them both hy wiy with need. Using her legs as leverage, she began to rock against him as she felt his manhood swell against her naked flesh.

"Make love to me Spike....I need you." she whispered to him as she nipped at his ear. "I want to feel you inside of me."

That was all the encouragement Spike needed as he laid her down on the wet sand. Finding her mouth again, he crushed his lips to hers, forcing his tongue in her mouth as she reached down, pushing his sweat pants down as far as she could. Bringing her feet up, she grabbed the waistband and pushed them the rest of the way down his legs, helping him as he kicked them off.

Ravyn reached up, grabbing his hand and guided it down to her sex. As he touched her, she opened her eyes and looked at him.

Spike was leaning on one arm and opened his eyes to look at her when she had moved his hand to touch her. She had her eyes fixed on him, never looking away as he slowly slid a finger inside her fo He He locked eyes with her, holding her gaze.

Running his finger up and down the length of her, he smiled slightly when he saw she was okay. Slowly, he inserted one finger inside of her, pushing in as far as he could before pulling out and inserting another. Pumping his finger's he watched as her eyes glazed over with lust. Inserting a third digit, he quickened his pace, as she moaned and arched her hips into his hand.

Ravyn reached down, grabbing his shaft, stroking it in rhythm to his own. Both were getting breathless as their desire for each other rose.

Ravyn leaned up, catching his mouth with hers, thrusting her tongue inside as she continued to stroke him in a fevered pace. They were both moaning with pleasure.

Breaking away from his mouth, Ravyn licked at his lips, alternating between biting softly at them and sucking on them.

"I want you inside of me Spike." she whispered against his lips. "I need to feel you."

Spike pulled his fingers away from her as she guided him to her entrance. He was panting with anticipation as he slowly inserted himself.

Ravyn closed her eyes as she felt him sliding inside of her. Spike saw her clinch her eyes shut tightly as he was fully inserted.

"Ravyn" he said softly. "Look at me, open your eyes."

Spike remained completely still, waiting for her. When she opened her eyes he leaned down, giving her a small kiss. "Don't close your eyes. Look at me." he told her as he ran his hand down the side of her face.

Ravyn looked into his eyes and shook her head a little as he pulled back slightly. When he pushed back inside of her, she felt all her fears melt away as she looked into his eyes. He loved her, and wouldn't hurt her she could see it all.

Spike increased his pace slightly, not wanting to scare her but he had forgotten how good she felt. She was squeezing him with every thrust. He wasn't sure how long he'd be able to keep it slow and easy.

Ravyn wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him in deeper and gasped lightly as he filled her. Wrapping her arms around him, she pulled him to her.

As he rocked his hips, he was finding it difficult to remain at a steady pace. He was panting for air as she grabbed at him, making small keening noises as she did. Just the sound alone was going to send him over the edge.

Ravyn felt like she was flying. Streams of tingles were soaring through her body as she watched Spike. He was still looking at her, eyes full of love just for her. She felt her eyes tear up as she continued to stare at him.

Spike increased his speed as he thrust inside hunabunable to keep a leisurely pace as she tightened her muscles around him. Grabbing her shoulders he laid his forehead against hers as he poured months of craving for her into every thrust.

The wet sand was giving way beneath him as the ocean water's played at his feet. Ravyn slid her legs down his waist, pulling him in closer as she hooked her feet on his thighs. Grabbing his ass with both hands, she squeezed, digging her nails into his flesh as she felt the heat they were creating burn at her.

Spike crushed his mouth to hers, brutally kissing her as she pulled at him. She was rocking her hips in rhythm with him as she kissed him back just as hungrily as he was.

The feel or war was the most amazing thing he had felt in more years than he wanted to remember as he pounded into her. The cool ocean waters was lapping at them as he felt her muscles tighten around him causing his urgency to increase as he was slowly losing a foot hold.

"Spike" she whispered against his mouth as she neared climax. She felt like she was going to explode. Every muscle in her body was humming as the small tingles grew, cascading into waterfalls of pleasure. "Oh god Spike...harder, harder...." she cried as she clung to him.

Spike lowered his head as he wrapped one arm under her, raising her hips up slightly. He felt her tightening around his shaft and slammed into her hard and fast as he heard her soft cries for more.

Gasping for air, he was hardly able to contain himself. He bit at her neck with his blunt teeth before extending his fangs, burring them in her neck. As the first drop of blood hit his tongue she screamed out his name, climaxing hard. Spike growled softly, hearing her scream his name repeatedly for the whole world to hear as he drank from her.

Ravyn felt like her body fell to dust as she exploded. She saw bright flashes of lights behind heosedosed eyelids as Spike bit into her neck. She wasn't able to contain her crying as her body trembled uncontrollably.

Spike withdrew his fangs, as he panted for air, feeling himself draw closer to release. As Ravyn pulled at him with her hands and feet he thrust into her long and hard, driving her into the wet sand.

"I love you Spike" was all it took. With several hard thrust, he spilled his seed deep inside her. Filling her as he continued to thrust into her.

Slowly his pace, he was breathing heavily as he clung to her, finally stilling himself. Laying his head on her shoulder he listened to her cry softly as he brought a hand up and stroked the side of her face.

Getting his unnecessary breathing under control, he lifted his head, kissing her cheek before kissing a path to her lips.

"I love you" he told her quietly, lightly sliding his lips against hers. "I love you so much"

Ravyn cried harder as her body continued to shake. Spike was kissing her face, whispering how much he loved her as she clung to him. She hadn't felt like this since before Trull had taken her and the fear of losing Spike again wawaysways there.

Spike kissed her tears away before he grabbed her around the waist, rolling them both over. Ravyn rested her head against his shoulder, as she continued to softly cry.

They both lay there, not saying anything as the ocean water's played at their bodies. Spike was running his hand up and down her back, periodically kissing her head as she calmed herself.

When her cries died down to small whimper's and her tremors had all but gone, he turned his head to look at her.

"You okay?" he asked her quietly.

Ravyn tightened her grip on his shoulder's. "Yeah" she said with a satisfied sigh as she nuzzled her face into his neck. "I love you" she told him.

"I love you too." Spike said as he started wiggling.

Ravyn lifted her head and looked at him. "What's wrong?"

Spike grinned up at her. "I think I have sand in places it shouldn't be."

Ravyn giggled as she thought about what he had said. "You're not complaining are you?" she asked him playfully.

"No" he said smiling as he wrapped his arms around her tighter. "Just never had sex on the beach before, not sure how I like getting sand in my unmentionables."

"But that's half the fun." she said leaning down, giving him a small kiss.

"For you maybe, your ass isn't buried in the sand." he toer aer as a wave rolled in around them.

Ravyn giggled as they were both drenched. "I think the tide is coming in. We better move before we get stuck." she told him as she lifted up off of him.

Ravyn grabbed Spike's hand once she had stood and helped him up, laughing as wet sand rolled down his body.

"Come on" Ravyn said giggling as she turned and led Spike back into the ocean.

"I'm really liking the view from here." Spike told her as he watched her naked ass while she drug him back into the water.

Ravyn turned her head and smiled at him before once again turning back to the water.

Making their way out past the breakers, they both dove in, washing away the sand that had collected on them.

Ravyn was the first to surface and looked around for Spike, not seeing him anywhere. "Spike?" she said as she turned in a circle looking for him.

She smiled when she felt him run his hand up her leg and surface. Turning, she faced him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Feel better now?"

"Much" Spike said leaning in and giving her a small kiss and wrapping his arms around her waist. "Have I told you how much I missed you?"

"No" Ravyn said as he pulled her close to him. She raised an eyebrow at him as she felt his once again hard shaft rub the inside of her thigh. "That much huh?" she asked grinning.

"More actually" he said, kissing her neck.

"More than that? Well, I feel completely special now." Ravyn told him softly as she leaned her head to the side, closing her eyes as he kissed at the mark he had made on her neck.

"You still mine?" he asked her as he licked at the wound.

"Always" Ravyn told him softly as she held his head to her.

Spike reached down, pulling her legs up and around his waist as he kissed a trail to her mouth. Ravyn gasped for air softly as he lifted her, impaling her on his shaft.

Wrapping her legs around him tighter, Ravyn felt the tingles start rising as she held his head, kissing him hard.

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

"Would you just shut up already!" Dawn yelled at the guys as they all sat in the back seat of the SUV. "No one cares who's killed the most demons. Grow Up!" she said irritated at their childish behavior.

"Shhh...mom's gonna get us." Jesse said laughing lightly as Dawn glared at them through her visor mirror.

Jesse, Blake and Rob all sat in the backseat and snickered softly to themselves as they continued to debate who was the best demon hunter.

Angel looked over at Dawn from the driver's seat and smiled. "You know where they get that from, don't you?"

"Yes" Dawn said with a worried sigh. "Can we just hurry up please?"

Angel reached over and grabbed her hand, giving it a small squeeze. "I'm sure their fine Dawn."

"I hope you're right." she said back to him. "It's just lit like him to not call or answer his phone."

"Well, I still think they're just to...uh busy..to worry about us lonely hearts to even think about picking up a phone." Blake said from the back seat. "I know I would be." he added quietly.

"No doubt" Jesse said just as quietly, grinning as he did.

Dawn wished she could agree with them, but she knew better. It had been over five days since she had spoken to Spike or Ravyn and she was worried.

Seeing the beach house just up the road, she tried to relax a little knowing she would soon at least know what was wrong.

Dawn was out of the SUV before Angel had even put it in park. Running up on the deck, she grabbed for the door handle and was about to turn it when Angel grabbed her hand.

"Just wait a minute Dawn." he said, not wanting her to go in and find a big pile of dust that use to be Spike.

Dawn shook her head nervously at him and let go of the door and let him enter. As she saw him start down the hall, she entered, the others following in behind her.

Angel checked all the rooms, smiling to himself when he saw Ravyn's things in the spare bedroom. He was relieved. He knew their relationship was moving along, but he still held out hope....even though it only made him feel worse knowing Ravyn was living there.

"Anything?" Dawn asked as he came back into the living room.

"No...their not in here." he said as he stopped in front of her.

"Maybe they just took a walk out on the beach." Rob told them.

"Yeah" Dawn said optimistically as she turned and started for the door.

As the group stepped off the deck they heard Ravyn screaming Spike's name from the beach.

Dawn felt her heart hit her stomach as they all ran down the path, Angel leading the way.

They all ran frantically as Ravyn's cries slowly died. Reaching the beach they ran towards the water before slowly stopping and looking around. No one saw them.

Dawn pushed her way through the guys, searching for both Spike and Ravyn and her eyes went wide when she saw them in the water kissing. It only took her seconds to replay Ravyn's screams back in her mind and smiled big as she realized 'why' Ravyn had been screaming Spike's name like that.

Turning quickly she ran over to the guys just as they too saw Spike and Ravyn. They were all grinning big as Dawn approached them.

"Alright, this aint no peep show!" she said quickly as she grabbed Rob and Jesse by the arm, turning them back towards the house before grabbing Blake. Jesse turned his head back around to the couple in the water, trying to get another peek as Dawn smacked him and gave him a little shove.

"Jesse.. move it before I tell Spike you were staring at his naked girlfriend."

Jesse turned his head quickly, fearing Spike would probably tear his head off for that. As Dawn marched the three smiling guys back up the path, she herself grinned. *Way to go Ravyn* she said to herself, glad her new friend had finally worked through her problem.

Angel stood on the beach, staring out at Spike and Ravyn. He watched them for a few minutes before he also turned and walked slowly back up the path where the others were waiting.

Spike was watching Angel as he was standing there staring at him and Ravyn. He wondered how long he had been there but knew it couldn't have been to long as he saw the others making their way back to the house when Angel turned to leave.

"We have company." Spike said as Ravyn kissed at his neck.

Ravyn turned her head quickly and looked towards the house, relieved to see it was just the guys and not Trull.

"Guess you cowboy's got an eye full then." she said grinning as she looked back at Spike.

"Guess so." Spike said back to her. "Probably thought someone was killing me the way you were screaming my name." he added with a little smirk.

"You trying to tell me I'm to vocal?" she asked him licking at his lips.

"Not at all" Spike told her as he sucked her tongue into his mouth. "Kinda like all that screaming. Makes me feel all manly." he said grinning at her.

Ravyn giggled lightly at him. You're a moron." she said, her giggles increasing to laughter as Spike tickled her side.

"Yeah, but I'm you moron."

~*~*

The guys all walked back to the SUV, smiles on all their faces, except for Angel.

"Well Dawn," Blake said as they all got inside and buckled up. "Looks like you were worried for nothing. Nothing sinister going on here...unless getting sand in your....."

"Shut Up Blake!" Dawn said as she shut her door, trying to suppress her grin. "I don't need a recap."

The guys in the back all snickered to themselves as Dawn stared out her window, her hand over her mouth hiding her smile as she thought about all of them catching Spike and Ravyn 'in the act'.

Everyone found the whole thing amusing....except An As As he backed up, he looked in the rear view mirror at the others giggling before pulling away quickly. He didn't find it funny at all.

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

Trull paced around his office, anxiously awaiting Randall. He had a few ideas of his own. As he heard a knock on his door he smiled as he told them to enter.

"Master.....is he the one you asked for?" Randall asked him as he and another man walked forward.

Trull looked over at them, smiling as he walked over to the man he had sent for, taking in his appearance. "Yes...I think he will do nicely." he said, an evil grin on his face.

"Well....I have a job for you." Trull told him as he walked to his desk and sat. "Do you think you will be able to perform the task?"

"Yes Master. Whatever you ask of me...I will do." he answered him.

Trull smiled viciously at him. "Well, this is your lucky day." he said, motioning for his newest minion to sit. "How would you feel about.....seducing a beautiful woman? Can you do that?"

The new guy smiled a big confident smile. "Yes Master." he said looking forward to his task. "I can do that."

Trull leaned back in his chair, smiling as he looked from his secret weapon to Randall. "Well...let's get down to business then...shall we?"

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

Dawn waited patiently as she held the phone waiting for someone to answer. She was about to hang up when Ravyn answered.

"Hello"

"Hey....bout time you answered this thing. I've been calling you for two days." Dawn said grinning.

Ravyn chuckled as she tightened the belt on her robe. "Sorry....been kinda busy." "Yeah, apparently." Dawn said giggling. "So what happened! I mean eeww, no details but....what did you do...what helped?"

"Lorne...he made me see something I wasn't looking at." Ravyn told her.

"Yeah and what was that?"

Ravyn smiled. "Spike. He helped me see Spike." she answered her looking over at his sleeping form on the bed.

Dawn smiled. Everytime Ravyn said Spike's name she could almost hear how much she loved him. "I'm glad you finally figured it out Ravyn. Just hate we all had to barge in on you though." she said giggling.

"Well, at least you caught the second act....the first one would have been a little to 'fleshy' for the prying eyes of others." Ravyn told her giggling.

"Oh really?" Dawn asked inquisitively.

"Yes....you said no details, remember?" Ravyn said grinning.

"Okay, okay...no details" she said giggling. "So, are you two going to the club tonight?"

"Not sure. I would venture a guess and say no." Ravyn told her. "I asked him yesterday and he said we weren't."

"Oh, but you've got to go." Dawn whined a little. "Lorne said to make sure you came."

Ravyn looked over at Spike and smiled. "I'll see what I can do." she said, a plan already in her mind.

"Good. I expect to see you there." Dawn told her. "I'll talk to you later then."

"Okay Dawn. Bye"

"Bye"

Ravyn hung the phone up and looked over at the clock before walking over to the bed. Putting her knee down she crawled up Spike's body. "Spike" she whispered in his ear. "Time to get up."

Spike groaned a little but never moved. Ravyn licked his ear, blowing in it lightly as she did. "Spike.....get up" she whispered to him, sucking on his ear.

Spike moved a little but made no effort to actually 'wake up'. Ravyn grinned a little as she looked at him. She leaned back down and started licking his neck and working her way down.

Spike peeked one eye open as Ravyn worked her way down his chest. He tried to remain as quiet as possible but was having trouble as she licked and kissed at his chest. His cover was blown when she licked at his nipple and he made a small hissing sound.

Ravyn grinned. She knew he was faking. "Can we go to the club tonight?" she asked as she continued her decent down his chest to his stomach.

"No" Spike told her. "Told you yesterday we weren't going."

"But that was yesterday." Ravyn said as she pulled the sheet covering him down and worked her way further down.

Spike groaned slightly when her chin bumped his cock. Ravyn grinned and made sure to rub him again as she licked his stomach. "Please?"

Spike looked down at her as she slowly crawled down his body. "No. We can't go running around LA while Trull is still around. You know that."

Ravyn raised her eyes and looked at him as she extended her tongue, licking around the tip of his shaft. She watched as Spike's eyes shut and his head fell back against the pillow. Taking him in her mouth, she sucked him all the way in before slowly sliding back up. "Please?' she asked him again, running her teeth lightly across the tip.

Spike bucked his hips up off the bed as she took him back on her mouth, working him in long strokes, sucking slightly as she did. "No" he groaned, wiggling slightly as he did.

Ravyn pulled him completely out of her mouth, running her tongue up and down the length of it as she looked back up at him. "Please?"

Spike looked down at her when he didn't feel her on him. She was sitting there on all fours looking up at him. He sighed lightly as she sat there smiling at him. "You're gonna stop doing that if I tell you no again..aren't you?"

Ravyn's smile widened. "Yeah" she said, trying to sound sorry about it.

"Now who's evil?" Spike asked, as he looked at her. "There's a name for that...it's called blackmail, ever heard of it?"

"Yeah...best way to get what you want." she said leaning back down, giving him another lick. "It'll be fun."

Spike laid his head back down and sighed. He didn't think she needed to be going anywhere. Looking back down at her he smiled as she sat there pouting at him. "Fine!" he said, knowing he wasn't going to win...and he wanted her to finish what she had started.

Ravyn grinned back and started to get off the bed.

"Oh no you don't missy!" Spike said grabbing her arm. "You get back over 'ere and finish." he said grinning at her. "You wanna play, then you're gonna pay."

Ravyn smiled as she leaned up, kissing him. As she broke away from him she licked his lips. "Then buckle your seatbelt Daddy......we're going for a ride." she said softly against his lips before she pushed him back down on the bed and finish what she had started.

Chapter Sixteen: Strangers


Ravyn climbed off of the motorcycle when Spike parked it by the club, cursing softly under her breath. Spike grinned when he heard her.

"What was that kitten, didn't catch it all." he said as he stood up and threw his leg over the bike.

Ravyn looked up and glared at him. "I said....half of LA probably saw my ass!" she told him as she pulled at her leather skirt.

Spike grinned as he walked over to her. "Well, I'm sure it was the best show they've had..ever." he said as he leaned over, giving her a small kiss. "Told ya to wear the pants."

"Yeah, and I told you to buy a car."

"Don't want a car. I like my bike." Spike told her as he wrapped an arm around her and led them to the club.

"You'll change your tune when I trade that death trap in for a sporty little two seater."

Spike looked down at her, eyes squinted slightly. "You wouldn't dare." he said, daring her to even think about it.

Ravyn grinned as she looked up at him. "Wouldn't I?" she asked, smacking him a wet kiss before leaving him standing on the sidewalk as she entered the club.

Spike just stood there staring at her. *Yes...she would* he thought sadly before shaking his head and following her in.

~*~

"It's about time." Dawn said as she saw Ravyn walk in, Spike following close behind her.

The guys all turned and looked, grinning instantly as the 'beach scene' flashed in their heads as they looked at the two.

Ravyn and Spike walked over to the table where the gang was sitting, Spike making a conscience effort to place himself between Ravyn and Angel as they sat down.

"See you convinced him." Dawn said grinning as she leaned over towards Ravyn when she sat down beside her.

Ravyn smiled back at Dawn. "Didn't take much, just a few well placed...kisses." she said grinning big.

Dawn giggled when she realized what Ravyn was talking about. She looked over at Spike and smiled as she looked at him. He was talking to the guys and the look on his face was one she hadn't seen in years. He looked genuinely happy.

"Hey there doll. I've been waiting for you." Lorne said with a huge smile as he stopped by Ravyn's chair. "I think you owe me a dance or three." he added taking her hand.

Ravyn looked up at him and smiled big. "That I do." she said as she stood and walked with Lorne out to the dance floor.

Spike looked up when Ravyn stood and watched as she and Lorne walked away. "Haven't been here five minutes and the green goblins already taken my girl." he said smiling.

"You're getting to slow Spike. Someone's gonna snatch her away from you if you're not careful." Blake told him as he too watched Ravyn and Lorne.

Spike looked over at Blake, glaring hard at him. "I'd like to see 'em try." he told him, in a dangerous tone of voice.

"Chill man." Blake told him, thinking he may have messed up. "Didn't say it was going to be me...just playing with ya is all."

Spike looked hard at Blake for a few seconds before he realized that 'jealously' thing had reared its ugly head again. He smiled a little as he calmed down. "Sorry man. Just can't help myself sometimes."

"Don't worry about it." Blake told him, smiling nervously. "Hell, I'd be the same way if I had a woman that looked like that." he added as he looked back over at Ravyn.

Spike looked back out to the dance floor at Ravyn. He really couldn't blame the others for looking at her. She was still beautiful. More so than any he had ever seen. Made him wonder what she was even doing with him.

He sat back in his chair as he stared at her. He smiled as he watched her. She was laughing and having a good time. Made him almost jealous to know it was someone else causing that big smile and not him.

The light snickers of the others brought Spike out of his thoughts of Ravyn and he turned his head to see Blake, Jesse and Rob all staring at him.

"What?" he asked, slightly irritated as they laughed lightly.

"Sorry man." Blake said as his chuckles died down. "Just....love sick vampires, the whole concept is funny as hell."

Spike rolled his eyes at them. "Sod off" he spat out at them before turning his attention back to Ravyn.

~*~*

Randall sat in the corner of the bar, watching Ravyn and the green demon dance. He glanced over at the table the others were at before turning his attention back over to the Master's 'new pet'.

"You know what to do?" he asked him.

"Yes" the pet said quietly as he stared at Ravyn.

Randall looked back over at her for a second before looking back at the pet. He smiled big then chuckled lightly at the look on his face. "Well..well, let me guess." he said as he took in the way he was staring at Ravyn. "You're in love with her...aren't you?"

Randall laughed louder as he watched the man beside him. "This is priceless." he said to him. "Tell me, how did it feel to be the only man NOT allowed to have her? Cause let me tell you, you don't know what you were missing. Best piece of ass I've ever had. That bitch is tighter than a..."

"Shut up! Don't ever speak of her like that!" he growled. "She doesn't deserve such cruelty."

Randall's smile widened as he looked over at him. "Just do your job and...I'll see what I can do for you. Who knows...the Master might actually reward you if you're able to pull this off and we all know Ravyn is the best reward he offers."

Randall leaned his head to the side as he watched him. "How would you like that?" he asked him, his smile still on his face. "I mean....allowo clo clothe her, bath her...but never allowed to touch her. Don't know how you did it."

The man looked over at Randall, glaring dagger's at him as he did. "I'll do what the Master asked, but I will not hurt her like you do. Having her love is a reward, taking it is not."

Randall laughed. "Whatever man. Just sit back and pipe down till I'm ready for you to make your move. Get a good eye full though. She won't be free to roam around to much longer."

~*~*~

Ravyn leaned over to Spike as she sat back down and gave him a little kiss. "Miss me?" she asked him playfully.

"Always" Spike told her. "Gonna have to put a leash on you if you don't stop running off with that demon."

Ravyn grinned big at him as he lightly kissed her. "Ohhh...bondage, I remember that game."

Spike chuckled at her as he sat up straight. "More where that came from. "he told her smiling as he remembered the night he had tied her up in the crypt.

Ravyn just grinned at him before turning her attention to Dawn. "Why so quiet?" she asked her.

Dawn smiled over at her. "No reason. Just a little bored."

"Well, have one of the guy's dance with you or...go sing us a little song." Ravyn said smiling.

Dawn rolled her eyes. "Like any of these jerks are worth dancing with." she said, disgusted with the thought.

Ravyn giggled at her. "Well, I'm sure there's someone in here worth your time." she said, turning and giving the men scattered around the club a look. Her eyes stopped as she saw a man at the bar looking over at them.

"There you go Dawn." Ravyn said looking back over at her smiling. "Over at the bar...and he's looking over here."

"Don't even bother Ravyn. There's never anyone of interest in here." Dawn told her, not even glancing at the guy.

"I don't know...looks like a winner to me." Ravyn said grinning as she looked back over at the guy. "Besides, he hasn't taken his eyes off of you."

Dawn sighed lightly before turning her head and looked over at the bar. Her eyes went wide when she saw him. "Holy shit!" she said quietly as she quickly turned back around.

Ravyn giggled at her. "What'd I tell ya."

Dawn sat there, trying not to look back over at him, but finding it hard not to. As she snuck another peek, she almost died when the guy smiled at her and gave her a little nod of his head.

"Wow" Dawn said grinning big as she looked back over at Ravyn.

Ravyn continued to smile at Dawn. "No doubt....he's totally fine girl."

"Hey!" Spike said when he heard her. "Don't be ogling other guys when I'm sitting right here." he told her smiling.

Ravyn turned her head and looked over at Spike and smiled as she leaned over to him. "Don't worry baby...he's not half as sexy as you are." she whispered against his lips as she gave him a kiss.

Spike smiled as she pulled away from him. "Well, you remember that." he said, looking over at the guy she and Dawn had been looking at. "Looks like a poof to me anyway."

Ravyn giggled softly at him before turning her attention back to Dawn. "So....go over there and talk to him."

"What!...are you crazy?" Dawn asked shocked Ravyn had even suggested it.

"Why not?"

"Because...he's, well..." Dawn stammered, "Just look at him."

"I am" Ravyn said smiling as she glanced back over at the guy.

"He's probably just looking at you anyway." Dawn said. "No one who looks that good is going to be interested in me."

"Think what you may." Ravyn told her. "But be prepared...he's headed this way."

Dawn and Ravyn both looked over at the bar as the guy was walking towards them.

Dawn's eyes were bugging out of her head as she watched him. He was tall with jet black hair, kind of long and combed straight back. Dark khakis and a tight white shirt showed off his bulging muscles.

"Oh man." Dawn whispered as she looked at him.

"Uh huh" Ravyn said just as quietly as they both watched the guy.

Ravyn grinned big as she heard Dawn's heart rate speed up as the guy approached the table.

Dawn swallowed the lump in her throat as the guy stopped beside of her and Ravyn.

"Hello" he said smiling as he looked at Dawn then over at Ravyn.

R smi smiled as she looked up at him, her smile getting bigger as she felt her chair sliding closer to Spike. She leaned back against him when he put his arm around her.

"Jealous much?" she asked him smiling, as she turned her head and looked at him.

"Extremely" Spike said as he leaned down and kissed her.

"Glad to hear it." Ravyn said as she laid her head on his shoulder.

Dawn was having trouble getting her vocal cords to work as she looked up at the guy. He was gorgeous. "Uh...hey" she managed to squeak out.

The guy smiled down at her. "My name's Dylan." he said extending his hand and taking a hold of hers.

Dawn almost swallowed her tongue when he leaned over and kissed the back of her hand. "I'm...um...I'm..." she stammered, trying to get her name out as she looked into his eyes.

"Beautiful" he whispered to her.

Dawn felt like she was going to hyper ventilate right there just looking at him. His eyes were so dark, they looked almost black. He was pure male...strong, lean and beautiful.

"Would you care to dance?" he asked her.

"Uh huh." was all Dawn could say as she stood up and let him guide her to the dance floor.

Dylan wrapped his arms around Dawn's small waist as she hesitantly placed hers around his neck. He was massive compared to her. She felt small wrapped in his arms but it felt good...and he smelled...*oh man* Dawn thought to herself as she was slowly losing herself in this totarangranger.

Everyone at the table sat staring at Dawn and this guy as they danced. Ravyn was smiling big, everyone else....didn't looked pleased at all.

"Now...don't they look cute?" Ravyn asked the group.

Spike snorted out a laugh. "Please...guys a total wanker. Just look at that hair. Look's like the poof over here, all fancy with his hair gel."

Angel rolled his eyes as he looked at Spike but quickly turned and looked at Dawn as he caught Ravyn looking over at him. He had to find something to take his attention off of Ravyn as she hung all over Spike. Just looking at her tonight was starting to give him thoughts that would have that old soul of his packing up and heading for the hills.

He didn't think he had ever seen her look so good. The red leather had given him lustful dreams for days....this outfit, what there was of it, would cause enough fantasies to last him weeks.

He looked back over at Ravyn when he heard her ask Spike to dance with her and watched as they walked out to the dance floor. He didn't know 'how' Spike had managed to get a woman like that. Not that Drucilla or Buffy hadn't been beautiful as well...but Ravyn was...there weren't even enough words to describe what Angel saw when he looked at her. She was a thing of beauty. Soft, smart, funny, sexy, alluring, exotic....even those didn't even come close.

He was glad he was cursed with a soul... *Spike would be dust by now and out of luck*, he thought with a small grin. *No way in hell would Angelus 'not' have her*.

Angel sighed, bringing himself out of his evil thoughts and stood up. Walking over to the bar he sat and ordered the strongest stuff Lorne had. Gulping it back quickly, he motioned for another, trying to clear his head of thoughts of Ravyn.

~*~

"Spike, stop staring at them." Ravyn told him as they danced.

"Can't help it, I don't like the guy."

"You don't even know him." Ravyn said with a smile.

"So" Spike said looking back over at her. "No one's ever gonna be good enough for my nibblet."

"Spike...she's almost fifty. I think it's time to let her pick her own dates."

Spike sighed lightly as he looked down at her and laid his head down against hers. "I know...just hard not looking out for her. I've been doing it since she was fifteen. Hard habit to break."

Ravyn smiled at him as she leaned in and kissed him softly. "Well, you've got to let her go sometime." she said against his lips. "Beside...if you don't start paying attention to me, I'm gonna go find Lorne."

Spike smiled back at her. "Don't think so." he said wrapping his arms around her tighter. "You're all mine."

Ravyn slid arm arms down inside of his duster and wrapped them around his waist. "Prove it." she said smiling coyly, leaning up and crushing her mouth to his.

Spike kissed her back and let out a small growl when she grabbed his ass, squeezing it. They were both completely lost to the world around them as they were kissing themselves into a frenzied state.

Ravyn pulled him to her, grinding her hips into him as she kissed him hungrily.

"Would you look at that?" Jesse said, pointing out to the dance floor. "Don't they know there's laws against public displays of......whatever it is their doing."

Rob and Blake both looked out at Ravyn and Spike and smiled as they watched them. Ravyn was completely wrapped in Spike's duster and the guys could only imagine what was going on under it. They all grinned as they imagined.

Spike broke away from Ravyn's lips breathlessly. "You're gonna have to stop that." he told her as she moved to his neck, kissing and licking at his flesh.

"Can't help it...I want you." "I want you too, but there's fifty people in heree sae said closing his eyes and moaning softly.

Ravyn smiled against his neck. "I'm sure they won't mind." she told him as she continued to rub him through his jeans. "Beside....as long as you keep it nice and steady...no one will even know.

Spike hissed as Ravyn unzipped his jeans and pulled him free. "Ravyn" he whispered. "oh god" he added as she began to stroke him slowly.

~*~

Dawn smiled as she looked up at Dylan.

"So...you still haven't told me your name." Dylan said to her as they danced.

Dawn giggled nervously. "Sorry...it's Dawn."

"Dawn...a lovely name. It suits you." Dylan told her smiling.

"Thank You." Dawn said beaming. She looked around nervously and gigglhen hen she saw Spike and Ravyn practically swallowing each other's faces.

"Your friends are very...."

"Yes they are." Dawn said as she stared at them.

Dylan looked at the two, a small smile on his face. "Seems like they're very much in love." he said looking back down at Dawn.

Dawn looked up at him and smiled. "They are."

~*~

"Check it out." Blake said, poking Jesse in the arm. "Now...you can't say that's something you see everyday." he said looking over at Spike and Ravyn.

"Oh my god...are they...." Jesse asked wide eyed.

"Either that or Ravyn's leg just got tired. " Blake said chuckling, noticing she had one leg wrapped around Spike.

"I can't believe their doing that in public." Jesse said as he watched, fascinated.

"I can" Blake replied.

~*~

Angel had seen all he wanted to and stood up, walking towards the entrance. He couldn't just sit there and watch Spike and Ravyn go at it on the dance floor. Everyone else around them may be oblivious to it...but he knew.

Walking over to the door, he walked out and started down the street. He needed to clear his head and figure out a way to get over her.

~*~

Ravyn moaned softy into Spike's mouth as he held her up slightly. She wanted to scream out as Spike slowly rocked inside of her. Never had she done anything so exhilarating in her life. The adrenaline rush alone was going to send her over the edge.

Squeezing her muscles, she felt Spike's grip on her tighten and his whole body go stiff. She knew he was feeling the same thing.

Breaking away from his lips slightly, she panted for air. "I love the way you feel inside of me." she whispered against his lips.

Spike groaned quietly. He still couldn't believe she had initiated sex...here on a crowded dance floor, and the obscene things she had started whispering to him were starting to be more than he could handle.

He really should have taken the time to get to know her better all those years ago, because she surly wasn't the girl he remembered. This girl was far more exciting than the girl he remembered.

Ravyn held Spike close to her as sparks of pleasure coursed through her bas sas she neared climax. She knew Spike loved to hear her scream, but this was neither the time nor place for that.

The fact that they were having sex at all was blowing her mind. What possessed her to do it, still had her baffled. She wanted him...plain and simple.

"Spike...I want you to cum with me." she whispered to him, smiling when she heard a small growl emit from his throat. "Can you do that?" she asked him.

Spike crushed his mouth to hers. It wasn't gonna be a problem at all. A few more remarks from her and it would all be over with...whether she was ready or not. He moaned into her mouth as he felt her tighten around him. Bucking his hips as he was nearing climax, he wanted nothing more than to throw her down and pound her into the floor.

"Oh god Ravyn" he whispered...

Ravyn grabbed him, pulling him hard against her as she felt the pressure rise. She gasped for air and as her body exploded around him, convulsing slightly and being held still only by the grip Spike had her in.

As she tightened around Spike's shaft, he thrust hard, spilling into her as he covered her small cries by crushing his mouth to hers. Squeezing her hips tightly, he ground himself into her, releasing everything he had.

The small movements meant nothing compared to what he felt. Barely moving and he didn't think he had ever cum so hard. He was glad neither had to breath, both were moaning into the other's mouths as they slowly came down from their high.

As Spike was able to feel the world slowly form around him, he kissed Ravyn hard. Letting her know exactly how much he had enjoyed that.

~*~

"And the eagle has landed." Blake said chuckling as they guys continued to watch Ravyn and Spike.

"How can you tell?" Jesse asked him.

"Because her leg is down now and Spike is kissing her like there's no tomorrow." Blake told him smiling.

Jesse looked at the two and grinned. "Man...vampires have all the fun."

Rob and Blake looked over at him like he was crazy.

"What....no human woman would ever be so bold as to have sex with you in public like that." Jesse said, trying to explain his comment.

Rob and Blake looked at him and slowly shook their heads.

"Point taken." Blake said.

~*~

"As soon as she gets back to the table...make your move." Randall said looking over to the man beside of him.

"I will" he said. "Oh...and one more thing." Randall said, "If you let her know what's going on....I'll kill her before she reaches the door." he added, pulling a small arrow gun from his coat. "Understand?'

"Yes....I understand."

"Good. Don't fail. The Master will not be pleased if you do."

~*~*~*~

Spike had finally gotten his breathing under control as did Ravyn. She smiled as she looked up at him.

"I think you've proved case." she said giggling slightly as she once again wrapped her arms around Spike's neck.

Spike smiled back at her. "You are amazing...you know that?" he asked her.

Ravyn's smile widened. "I'm gonna make you love me till it hurts." she told him softly.

"It already does." Spike told her, bringing his hand up and laying it on her cheek, kissing her softly.

~*~

Dawn smiled as the second dance ended. "Would you like to join me and my friends?" she asked him, hoping he would say yes.

Dylan smiled at her. "I would love to Dawn."

Dawn's smiled grew as she looked at him. "Great..come on, I'll introduce you to everyone."

Dylan and Dawn turned and started off the dance floor but stopped as they neared Spike and Ravyn.

"Um guys...there's no music." Dawn told them giggling.

Ravyn pilled away from Spike and turned to look at Dawn. "Yes there is." she said smiling before turning back to Spike, resuming her kiss.

Dawn giggled at them and shook her head. "Come on Dylan...they'll be over shortly..I think." she said leading him over to the table.

Dawn and Dylan walked back over to the table. She smiled when Dylan held her chair as she sat down, him taking Ravyn's seat beside her.

"Guys this is Dylan." Dawn told everyone. "This is Blake..Jesse..and Rob" she said, pointing to all the guys. "I'm not sure where Angel went." she added as she looked around for him.

"He went off brooding somewhere." Blake told her. "You know how he gets sometimes."

Dawn just shook her head. "I know." she said smiling a little as Spike sat down in his chair, pulling Ravyn into his lap as he did.

"Dylan..this is Spike and Ravyn" she told him, smiling at the two.

Spike just glared at him for a minute before finally saying hello to him. He held onto Ravyn tightly as she talked to Dylan. He didn't like him..no matter how much Ravyn insisted it was because he didn't know him.

"You're a vampire." Spike said casually, catching everyone off guard.

"As are you." Dylan said back to him.

Both men sat, looking hard at each other as Ravyn and Dawn looked at them, then glancing at each other.

Dawn made a face at Ravyn, silently asking her what she should do.

Ravyn smiled and wrapped her arm around Spike's neck. "Now Spike...give the guy a break..."

"What do you want?" Spike asked him threateningly. Something was off about this guy. He could feel it.

"Just to get to know Dawn. That's all." Dylan told him, never breaking his gaze from Spikes.

Ravyn leaned down and whispered in Spike's ear. "Don't do this. Dawn deserves someone in her life. You mess this up for her with this Daddy routine of yours and this last sexcapade we had will be your last." she said, giving his ear a little lick.

Spike smiled at Dylan. "Hurt her...and I'll kill you."

"Fair enough." Dylan told him.

Spike looked up at Ravyn. "You're an evil woman" he whispered to her smiling. "I think I like it."

Ravyn giggled as she scooted around in his lap, burrowing herself down in his arms. "I'm glad." she said, wrapping her other arm around him and laying her head on his shoulder.

~*~*~*~*~

Angel walked back into the club and found everyone at the table. He noticed the new guy and wondered who he was. Walking back over to the others, he sat and looked at him hard.

"Hey Angel" Dawn said with a smile. "This is Dylan...Dylan..this is Angel."

Angel gave him a small nod of his head. He wasn't sure what to make of the guy as he sat there talking to Dawn. He felt...off somehow.

Spike turned his head and looked over to Angel. "You feel it too?" he asked him quietly.

Angel glanced over at Spike, not able to look at him long with Ravyn there. "Yeah" he said quietly before looking back over at Dawn and Dylan as they talked and laughed with the others in the group.

Ravyn sighed lightly and shook her head. *Men* she said to herself as she heard Spike and Angel's brief conversation.

"Can we go now?" Ravyn asked Spike as she raised her head to look at him.

Spike smiled. "Sure thing Kitten." he said as she sat up straight.

"Hello....Miss Ravyn?"

Ravyn turned her head when she heard her name and her eyes went wide when she saw the man standing before her. The others at the table all stopped talking and stared at him as well.

Ravyn's face showed more emotions than Spike had eveen cen cross her face at one time as she sat there staring at the man who had spoken to her.

Ravyn blinked her eyes a few times as tears stung at them. She opened her mouth to speak but was having trouble getting anything out.

"I'm so glad you are doing well Miss Ravyn."

Ravyn slowly let the tears slid from her eyes as she looked at the man who had saved her life. Standing she smiled as she looked at him. "Phillip?" she asked in a shaky voice.

"Yes Miss Ravyn." Phillip said, smiling back at her.

Ravyn's smile grew as she walked forward and threw her arms around Phillips neck, hugging him tightly to her as she softly cried. Phillip was in heaven. Twenty four years and she had never shown any emotion...towards anyone and had been in a place he couldn't get her out of. Now..she was in the only place he had ever really wanted to see her in....his arms.
