You xan give me a detour like that one anytime, HOT, HOT, HOT. Waiting for the big night , whew , i'll bet it'll be hotter still, LOL.

Author's Response: Squee! Thankee, I'm so delighted (and relieved) you enjoyed the detour! :D

OK that was a beautifully written and brilliantly paced detour which I did not mind in the least - actually I loved it - and it was so bloody HOT. He is very determined to have his perfect night and I think I'd better prepare myself too - cold shower, cigerettes, fan!! Love this story - thanks.

Author's Response: *lol* You're so sweet, thank you, Sam, I'm soo happy you enjoyed the detour as much. I hope I can make justice to what you're all expecting for their perfect night!

Wow! *Fans self* That was HOT! I need a cigarette and I don't even smoke! Detour was fine! In fact if you'd like to take a little road trip.... anyways, that was awesome! Glad you updated so soon, keep it up!

Author's Response: Hee, thank you so very much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the detour so much. :D

They were bound to combust before the "perfect plans"! :D There was no way he could turn down Buffy's offer.

Author's Response: Hee, although he sort of did, since he didn't give her what she truly wanted. ;) Thanks for reviewing!

Looking foward to what is instore for these two!!!! Take care! Hugs~n~Kisses

Author's Response: Awwww, thank you, sweetie! You're allways so encouraging and sweet to me. I do hope I can meet up all your expectations for chapter 21. *wibbles* The pressure is going to will me. ;) *hugs* and thanks again!

Author's Response: Thankee, darling! I'm glad you enjoyed. :D

It just gets better and better! I can't wait to see what Buffy finds out in that book....and if she'll get caught reading it!

Author's Response: Thank you! *blushes* I'm glad you think so. And you'll find out soon about that. ;)

I just noticed now.. too distracted to read: you're using styles / epoch / era. (Not sure what it is called exactly.)
And done yesterday, read and read :) (pimping).
And I don't mind more chapters. :-D
~ I had a constant smile in my face reading them banter, Buffy teasing Spike and then almost falling head over heels into the kitchen *g*.
Enjoyed the update, curious Buffy reading too :)


Author's Response: Hee, really? Well, on the first chapter I wasn't sure in what era I was going to set this story. Then the style sort of stuck, went well with Spike I guess. ;)
Glad you read and read and thanks for voting and reviewing!
I'm very happy you enjoyed their banter and their teasing, it was too fun to write it. And you'll find out what she's reading on chapter 17. ;)

Of Course I will vote, this story is like a second part of me now lol. Best Chapter so far. Playing tag with a vampire a agree with Buffy it doesn't work. I can't wait to find out what her has found it that book. Will she find out about what has happened to Riley?

Author's Response: Thank you, for reviewing and for your vote! You're too sweet, I'm ecstatic you thought this was the best chapter so far. :D You'll find out about the book on chapter 17 and I think, yes, eventually, she'll discover what happened to Riley. Not that iI think she'll care much after what he did to her.

So Buffy's looking into claiming and you're still keeping us hanging on for their romantic evening. Lovely it and I'm so looking forward to reading more.

Author's Response: Lol, and you'll still have to wait a bit for that romantic evening, it's coming on chapter 18, though. Thanks for reviewing!
