A Viking New Year

Part 1

"I don't see why we can't go. I thought you and Angel were getting along?"

"We are. It's not like that."

"So why did you tell them we had plans?"

"I ... "

"Cordy got us tickets and everything. Angel is gonna get drunk! I wanna see him drunk and silly! Cordy says he's a riot."

"That he is, luv. Dances and everything. But another time, hey?"

Xander took a good look at his mate and smiled softly. There was something more to this than not wanting to spend New Years Eve in LA with Angel and his crew. He didn't know what it was yet, just that something was going on in that over-bleached head. He would find out eventually.

"Okay. You win. No LA. So what are we doing then?"

"Er, Ah ... "

"Nothing? We have no plans?"

" ... "

"Spiiike! It's New Years Eve! My first New Years Eve as a vampire. I wanted to do something special."

Xander pouted and Spike felt like an ass. Truth was, he wanted to do something special too. Only he wanted to spend the night at home with his mate, alone.

Spike had done all the parties, New York, London, Paris, you name it, he had celebrated New Years there. Thing was, he really couldn't tell one party from another after a while. He wanted Xander to remember their first New Years together. He wanted to make it special for him.

"I, Er ... We have plans! They're a surprise is all."

"Oh ... Sorry I got mad. I just wanted our first New Years Eve together to be special."

Spike pulled his mate into his arms and kissed him.

"It will be, I promise."

~!~

For the next few days, Spike had to put up with his lovers unbridled curiosity about what their New Year's plans were. Xander liked surprises as much as the next guy, but he liked answers even more.

Fortunately - or not, depending on who you asked - demon activity was higher than usual and they were kept fairly busy with slaying and researching. Xander's new Status as the Master of Sunnydale hadn't spread very far yet, so they still had problems with every young upstart looking to make a name for himself.

It had taken some time for Spike to convince Xander to declare himself Master of Sunnydale. The young man was so sure he would screw something up he flat out refused until Spike pointed out that once word got out, it would make things easier on his friends. Being the White Knight that he is, Xander finally gave in and announced his intent to a bar full of various demons one night.

Willy was stunned but quickly recovered and offered his 'services' such as they were to the new Master and of course his mate. Xander announced that he would meet any and all challengers outside if they had a problem with his taking over. Not one demon came out to face him.

That had been last weekend. Things hadn't slowed down but Spike had warned him that it would take time and effort to get things in check here. It was a hellmouth after all.

~!~

New Years Eve finally arrived and Xander couldn't wait to see what Spike had planned for them. He rolled on top of his mate and woke him by kissing him all over his face as he rubbed his hard length into the crease between Spikes groin and thigh.

"Wakey wakey."

"Mmm, little to the left, luv."

Xander chuckled but complied with Spikes sleepy order. He felt his lovers hard length come into contact with his own and groaned in delight. It felt so good that he thrust down again.

"Xan, oh yeah, luv. Feels good."

"Mmm, want you."

Spike opened his legs and allowed Xander to settle between them. He didn't mind being woken up at all if it was done this way. He tilted his head to the side and let out a sigh of pleasure as Xander licked and nipped at his throat. When he felt the first touch of a slippery finger at his entrance he groaned and pushed down on it.

Xander smiled into his mates neck as he felt his finger enveloped in his lovers tight channel. Spike was always impatient when it came to being fucked. He had little time for teasing touches, preferring to jump right to the shagging. Not that Xander was complaining.

Three fingers in his ass and Spike was beyond rational thought. He wanted, needed to be fucked. Now.

"Xander please. Now, do it now."

"Shh, I will, just hang on."

Xander quickly slicked himself and pushed into his lover in one smooth stroke. They both moaned at the feeling of being so connected. Xander wasn't sure how he had gotten so lucky to have found his mate so quickly after his turning but he was happy he had. Spike was his world now, Xander knew, no matter how many years he had on this planet, he would have his mate beside him.

Spike watched his lovers face as he was stretched and filled. Xander was beautiful in his open passion. His face was so expressive, so honest. Spike could see the love his mate had for him in his eyes everytime he looked at him, but at times like this, when they were making love, it was overwhelming. He didn't know what he had ever done to deserve this man but he was thankful that he had found him, that he had been accepted by him, wanted and loved by him. He had a future now, one that he would never give up.

Xander kissed Spike desperately as he continued to push deeper and deeper inside him. He was so lost in his love for this man he barely felt it when his face shifted and his fangs dropped. It was the taste of blood, his own mixed with his mates, that made him take notice.

Spike had shifted as soon as he felt Xanders fangs slice into his lips. He savoured the taste of their combined blood like a fine wine. It was almost enough to push him over the edge.

"Xander."

"Spike, love you."

"Love you too pet. So close, luv. Bite me, Xander. Want to feel your fangs in me."

Xander needed no further invitation, he struck hard and fast. He embedded his fangs deeply into Spikes throat and drew fiercely on his blood. He felt Spike tighten around him as he came all over their bellies.

Xander increased his pace and continued to drink from his mate as his own climax ripped through him. He removed his fangs and roared his completion.

Spike looked up at Xander, yellow eyes glowing in the dim light, blood dripping from his fangs. He was acutely aware that the demon within his mate was powerful, but to see him like this ... Well it made Spike hard all over again.

"You're beautiful like that, luv. Makes me wanna shag you silly."

Xander just gave him a toothy grin and rolled onto his back. He hooked his arms under his knees and spread himself open. He looked over at Spike with lust filled eyes.

"So, do it then."

With a growl, Spike lunged at his mate and entered him savagely. There was nothing soft about their coupling this time. It was harsh, fierce, bloody and painful. But they both enjoyed it that way from time to time. And this time when they came, it was Spike who savagely tore into Xanders throat and drank deeply.
