I knew Angel had it coming from the first line of this chapter. I liked that Buffy was practically dismissive of Angel's objections...no long drawn out scene. You made me laugh with this..."She guided a perplexed looking Spike to a free chair and plonked herself down on his lap, one arm around his neck."...then this...“Is that it?” Buffy interrupted incredulously, “No ‘what’s wrong with you Buffy?’ ‘Have you lost your mind?’ No ‘What have you done to her Spike?’ Not even a little ‘Buffy, do you really think this is a good idea?’”...adored this...“Plus” Xander continued with a magnanimous shrug, “Spike saved my life which puts him right at the top of my, ‘Demons who can date Buffy ‘ list”...last but not least this... “Can you lot pack that in” Spikes annoyed voice broke them apart after several long moments spent holding each other in silence, “it’s enough to make a fella nauseous”...giggle. Thank you for giving me a good dose of Sexy Spike...can never have too much of that...ever. Enjoyed the playful quality that you gave to Buffy & Spike. Loved that you had Buffy do this..."she felt the tension in his body, the residual uncertainty as he opened his mouth to speak. “I love you” she beat him to it, a hurried declaration designed to make his own easier." I found the rest of the chapter to have emotional depth while still delievering the sexy. Felt it was right that it should be more about making love the first time than the wild sex. I thought it was perfect. Thank you for another long chapter. I am sad that the story is at an end but so happy with the way everything turned out.
