Author's Chapter Notes:
DIsclaimer in full affect. Enjoy!
Buffy had finished putting her things away hours ago, but didn’t feel like she could face Spike yet. She had won the battle in their argument, but she knew damn well it was going to be a long road before they actually got along. Suddenly she smelled pizza coming from the next room. Her stomach let out an audible growl at the enticing aroma; she hadn’t eaten in hours. Letting her curiosity get the better of her, Buffy rolled off of her bed, intent on following her nose to the pizza. .

Spike had known that it wouldn’t be long before Buffy came out of her room with the smell of hot pizza permeating the air. She had to be hungry, because she hadn’t left her room since they had returned from the housing office hours ago. Making sure to leave the pizza box open, Spike waited to see if her stomach would get the best of her.

Buffy slowly opened her bedroom door. The smell of pepperoni pizza hit her senses and her mouth began to water. Casually walking into the living room she plopped on the couch and turned on the TV.

Spike had watched Buffy as she cautiously left her room. He could see the hunger in her eyes, yet she made no mention of the pizza. She wanted to play stubborn did she? Let’s see how long it would be before she gave into temptation.

Grabbing a slice of pizza, Spike walked over to the couch and sat next to his roommate. “Hope you don’t mind, I felt a bit peckish so I ordered a pizza.”

Buffy kept her eyes glued to the TV. “It’s your place too, so do what you want,” She replied absently.

Spike couldn’t help but smirk. Sure she might be able to ignore him, but if her stomach growling was any indication, she wouldn’t be able to ignore the food. With a shrug of his shoulders, he said nonchalantly, “Well there’s plenty there if you want some.” Taking a big bite he let out a satisfied groan.

Buffy felt her stomach begin to protest with hunger pains. Unwilling to give in she turned giving him a forced smile. “Thanks but I’m not hungry.”

As soon as the words left her mouth her stomach decided to betray her and let out a loud growl. Buffy slapped her hand over her stomach as if that would silence it. She looked over at Spike to see if he’d noticed. He had.

Spike let out a chuckle. “Well I think your tummy begs to differ pet.”

Buffy felt her cheeks blush deep red. She was so busted. Letting out an exasperated sigh, she asked “What kind is it?” Even though she already knew the answer.

His game had worked. Spike let a satisfied smile play over his lips. “Pepperoni with extra cheese.”

Buffy felt her mouth begin to water again, pepperoni with extra cheese was her favorite. Giving him a small grin she said, “Well since you already ordered it and all, I guess I could have one piece. I am pretty hungry.”

Spike knew her admission wasn’t much, but it was a start. “Go help yourself.”

Buffy got off the couch and almost ran to the pizza box. Picking up a slice, she brought it to her mouth and took a bite. She rolled her eyes and let out a moan. “Oh my God this is good.”

Spike watched as she brought the pizza to her bubble gum pink lips. Watching someone eat pizza had never been so erotic. When she let out a moan of satisfaction he almost came completely undone. Adjusting himself in his now extremely tight jeans he asked, “Taste good to you pet?” he tried to sound sarcastic, but instead it came out sounding strangled.

“God yes! You have no idea,” She replied as she returned to the couch.

Spike knew he was in way over his head. She was causing all kinds of reactions in him and all she was doing was eating bloody pizza. Quickly he made himself think of something, anything that would make the almost embarrassing bulge in his pants go away. Spike was trying to recite the alphabet in his head when Buffy interrupted his thoughts.

“Spike are you okay? You look like you have something on your mind,” Buffy noted. She wondered why he was acting spacey all of a sudden.

Spike jumped slightly startled and then turned to look at her. “Sorry, must have zoned out for a minute.” Could he be anymore of a wanker? One minute he can’t stand the girl and the next he was imagining if she moaned like that in the sack. Pushing his naughty thoughts away, he opted for light conversation. “So what do you normally do on Friday nights? I’m sure you have a boyfriend who usually takes you out.” There was a slight hint of disdain in his voice.

Buffy looked at him skeptically. Was he trying to ask if she had a boyfriend? Why would he care? Not wanting to read too much into it she simply replied, “Not much of anything really, we go to this club downtown called Indigo sometimes.”

Spike shrugged his shoulders. “Yeah I’ve heard of it. Never gone though; too retro for my taste,” He replied absently.

His answer sparked her attention. Her curiosity getting the better of her again, Buffy asked “So what exactly is your taste?”

Spike gave her a smirk. “You know, strip clubs, biker bars, the normal.” From the shocked look on his roommate’s face he knew she had bought it.

Buffy’s jaw fell open. He couldn’t be serious, could he? Yeah he may look like the bad ass, but did he actually hang out in those kinds of places?

He let out a laugh. “Buffy I was only kidding. You didn’t actually think I was serious did you?”

Buffy rolled her eyes. “Well you never can tell these days, and you are a guy,” Buffy said indignantly.

Spike gave her a look of mock hurt as he clutched his chest. “Ouch Summers, I’m crushed. Are you insinuating that I’m some pig that hangs out in titty bars all day?”

“Are you trying to tell me you’ve never been to one before?” she asked raising a brow at him skeptically.

He curled his tongue behind his front teeth and leered at her. “Now I never said that, luv,” his voice was a low rumble.

Buffy felt her cheeks blush rapidly. Not just because he admitted to going to strip clubs, but more because of the look he was giving her and the low timbre of his voice. It was all too smooth and sent chills down her spine. Quickly recovering, she spat out “You really are a pig.”

He let out a chuckle. “Hey, don’t knock it till you try it.”

Buffy looked at him completely horrified. “I so don’t think so.”

“What, women go to strip clubs all the time, get lap dances even.” He told her matter a factly.

“Sorry, but I don’t play for that team,” she said indignantly

“It doesn’t make you gay pet. You can’t tell me that you’re not curious.” There was a hint of suggestion in his tone, and he knew he was starting to get to her.

Buffy crossed her arms over her chest. “I don’t think we should be talking about this.” She said resolutely, praying he would let the subject drop. She wasn’t a prude by any means; it was just that talking to ‘him’ about this kind of thing was making her very uncomfortable.

He gave her an off handed look and shrugged his shoulders. “Sure thing pet, but you’re the one who brought it up.”

Buffy looked at him aghast. “Me? I’m the one who brought it up?”

“Yep, you asked if I had ever been to a titty bar, so you brought it up” he told her matter a factly.

Buffy opened and closed her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out. Spike smirked at her and asked “What’s the matter luv, cat got your tongue?”

Buffy let out a growl of frustration. “GRAWWW, we haven’t been living together a whole day and you’re already starting to be a pain in my ass.”

Spike raised his eyebrows suggestively. “Is that an invitation luv?”

Buffy stared at him for a minute and then got the meaning behind his innuendo. “Oh gross!”
Spike let out a full laugh. “Again pet I say, don’t knock it till you try it.” She was just too easy. He could breathe the wrong way and get under her skin.

She sat there in complete shock. Did he really do stuff like that? She had never even had sex before let alone done something like that. She suddenly felt like the prude she just told herself that she wasn’t. Not wanting to let him know he had got the best of her, she replied suggestively “Maybe you’re right. Maybe I WILL give it a go sometime.” She tried for her best sex kitten look. If his reaction said anything, it had worked.

Spike was completely floored to hear her say she wanted to give it a go. Even though she hadn’t indicated him, the thought of her doing something like that brought all kinds of little nasties to his mind. Now it was his turn to sit there with his mouth hung open.

To say she was amused by his reaction would be an understatement. Leaning in until she was almost touching noses with him, she purred out “What’s the matter Spikey, cat got your tongue?”

He was so fucked. She was so close he could feel her breath on his skin. It took every once of control he had not to just lunge in and devour her soft pouty lips. His resolve was slipping, and fast.

Buffy suddenly became very aware of how close she really was to him. Slowly, so he wouldn’t know how much he was affecting her, she backed away with a look of self-satisfaction spread across her face and left for her room without saying a word.

She had left just in time; Spike had been losing his resolve. When he heard her door shut, he let out the breath he had been holding. That girl was going to kill him. Looking down at his lap, he let out a groan. No amount of cold showers was going to save him now. Getting off the couch, he went to his room to see if he could try and solve this problem on his own.

Buffy shut the door and flung herself on her bed. What the hell had she been thinking getting that close to him? This was so not good. He was a disgusting pig who was mean, and self centered, and arrogant, and had a sexy smirk that made her toes curl, and oh my God I so did not just think that. Letting out a groan, she covered her face with her hands. Yep, she was totally screwed.
