like I said reminds me of that song...Buffy's in a not so great positioon to do much other than tell him where to get off and if she loves him that is really hard to do.

Author's Response: I don't think I've ever heard the song, but I'll be sure and look at the lyrics. Thanks for reviewing!

*sigh* again with the cliffhanger. When that will come what I think will come - I hope it doesn't - it makes the story hard for me to read. How is this saying? Fearing the worst, hoping the best!

Just wanted to say that I really love this story and I can't wait to see where you go with it. There are so many great directions, I'm sure you'll give us the best.

I can't believe that Willow would knowingly endorse Buffy's relationship with a married man. Duh. I'm sorry, but I still think that Buffy could do so much better for herself. I just hope that she can soon see that too. Essentially, right now she is Spike's paid whore. He pays for her apartment and has made no emotional commitment. I can't think of a more degrading position to be in. Well, I can, but not one that this white-bread Buffy would ever willingly subject herself to. Being a very independent person, it has been very difficult for me to understand how she could willingly accept the situation she has made for herself. But, that doesn't mean I'm not loving this story. In fact, if this story is headed in the direction I think it is (from your A/N at the end of this chapter), it may end up being one of your best. I can see great room for growth for these two. Thanks for such a quick update!
