Chapter 7

Later on that evening, after Anne had retired to bed, William and Buffy sat by the fireside. William had a cognac warming in his hand.

“William, I meant to ask, in that family portrait in the salon, who are the two girls?”

William took a sip of the fine brandy and said simply,

“My two sisters, Emily was the blonde one, and the older of the two girls, and the dark haired one, was Lucy”

Buffy shifted to look at her husband.

“Sisters – I didn’t know you had – so where are they, could I meet them?”

William turned a sad pair of eyes to his wife and gave a rueful smile

“Sadly, no. They’re both dead”

Buffy frowned and put her hand on his chest

“Oh William, I’m so sorry – what happened?”

“About five months after father had that painting commissioned…we were walking from church, as a family and a carriage went by, and something – to this day I’ll never know what…something spooked the horse, and it reared up, mounted the pavement and trampled poor Lucy. I remember father falling to his knees to pick her up, she looked like she was sleeping, there wasn’t a mark on her face, just a little mud on her Sunday best coat. She was nearly 8 – such a pretty little thing she was, and clever too – she was so good at her lessons.” He sipped more brandy and continued

“Emily died in childbirth at 19. She married a captain in the army – Captain Charles Wentworth-Smythe, very brave man – he was beside himself with grief when Emmy died, he tried to take care of the baby, but it died a few days after. He couldn’t cope with living in their house after that, too many memories – Mother told him, there would always be a home for him here – he smiled and nodded, I knew he’d never take us up on the offer – he just threw himself into the Army life – took on a suicide mission…won himself the Victoria Cross…It was awarded posthumously, it’s in the drawer over there somewhere. Such a waste of a good man”

Buffy had tears in her eyes

“I’m sorry” She laid her head on his chest and they sat quietly for a while, William running his fingers through her hair.

Buffy had never thought about Spike having a family – to be truthful, she’d never really got past the nasty bitey side of him for years…

“Shall we go on up to bed my love, we have a big day tomorrow, and I want you to have a clear head”


**************************


The following afternoon, after lunch, Buffy and William entered the Savoy Hotel, and met the rest of the group for tea.


“Gunn and I went out to the graveyard again last night to see if we could get any more information” Wesley said

“And?”

“And we learnt that those with enough money are to be allowed into an auction, the book is going to go to the highest bidder tonight after midnight”

Giles carried on the conversation

“Each one of you will be given a task, we know that the cutthroat, Bull I believe his name is, is going to be his strong arm security, and with a little care, I believe that you William and you Xander can take care of him”

“What – Giles, are you insane – that guy must weigh well over three hundred pounds, he could pick William and Xander up in each hand!” Buffy said totally alarmed

“Don’t worry! We will lure him out of the crypt, throw a combat net over him and knock him out with chloroform – he’ll be out for the count, but unharmed”

“I’ll give it a go, what say you Will?”

William shrugged and said he’d be willing to help his good lady wife.

“Giles, I’m not happy with this” Buffy’s face showed her misgivings

“Don’t forget me – I’m here ready with the spells!”

“Yes Willow, but all the same – this isn’t Spike were talking about, this is William, besides if Rack starts with the magic, then you’ll be side-tracked!”

“Okay then, I suggest we lure him out before we go in, that way we can all jump on this ‘Bull’ guy if necessary,” Gunn said

“But then we must do it as quietly as possible, we mustn’t draw any undue attention to ourselves – I want us to look as inconspicuous as possible” Giles reasoned

“I’ve been thinking…why does it have to be a demon that buys the book, why can’t it be a human? Human’s do unscrupulous things –all the time!” Cordelia piped up

“Cordy does have a point Giles” Gunn said

“You could put black rings around your eyes, hold your cape up over your arm and across your mouth to hide your face, wear a false moustache and-“

“XANDER PLEASE! – Now you’re being ridiculous!” Giles said irritably

“Okay, okay, just…so what will you two be doing?”

“I’m going to have some small horns stuck on my forehead, and some false teeth, to look like demon – and I shall wave around wads of cash” Gunn said

“Me too – I have some false hairy hands with claws, and one or two things that can be stuck on facially…” Wesley said

“I’m going in carrying a shiny orb, that crackles and flashes – they’ll think I’m a witch,” Cordelia said

“Buffy, you just be ready to seize the moment – you see a chance to grab the book, do so and run!”

“Run, okay, but run where?”

“Straight to me – I can put a protection spell around you both, so nobody can touch you or the book, until I break the spell, or it wears off – but that wouldn’t be for a couple of hours” Willow added

“Well just be ready with the spell then, but what if you’re busy ‘helping’ somebody else?”

“Don’t worry, the spells are all in my witch bottles, all I have to do is grab the bottle and throw it down to break it – the spell is cast”

“Right, do we all know what we are doing?” Everybody nodded.

“Well I suggest we all go and get some rest, we need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for later”


*****************


“But my love…where are we going?” William was being led upstairs by the hand by his ladylove.

“Where do you think!” Buffy said with a grin

“But…it’s the middle of the day!”

“Don’t be so…so VICTORIAN!”

“But my love, I AM Vic-oh –OH! Hmmmmmmmm”

Buffy closed their room door, pinning William to it by kissing him passionately. She could fell his arousal against her thigh, and smiling she ground herself against it, earning yet another groan from him

*THIS’LL Blow his mind!* Buffy thought, sinking to her knees and quickly unbuttoning his high-waisted trousers.

“Buffy, what, I mean oh – I say, what are you…oh god…Buffy, BUFFY- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

William snatched his spec off his face and began to shake, he tried to get some purchase with his fingers against the door, but all he did was scratch it, the sensations she was giving him unlike any he’d felt before


“Oh, oh, oh g-g-god B-Buffy!”

“Shush my love, relax, enjoy!”

She wetly licked at the weeping tip of his huge hard-on, before once again sucking the whole head of him into her warm wet willing mouth, William’s knees nearly gave-way, and he was shaking so much.

Releasing him with a wet suck, Buffy helped him step out of his trousers and over to the bed, where she began to slide her hand up and down his manhood, leaving him breathless and moaning

Lowering her head again she took as much of him into her mouth as she could, sucking lustily, her cheeks hollowing, her hand sliding in motion to her sucking. With her other hand she cupped his balls, massaging them softly, circling them with her thumb, tugging them gently

William babbled incoherently, his hips thrusting up of their own volition toward her wonderful mouth, his fingers digging into the soft mattress, grabbing handfuls of bedding, his head whipped from side to side, his rolling eyes closed, and when Buffy felt his shaft swell even more, she knew he couldn’t last any longer, and she made her hand and mouth movements a little firmer and a little faster making William cry out the most exquisite of orgasms…Buffy greedily swallowed him down until he was well spent.

Suppressing a giggle but not the grin, Buffy mischievously eyed her husband and said,

“I take it you have no more objections!”

It was all William could do to try and speak coherently………

“Oh god Buffy, I love you!”

“And I love you too, now come on, rest”

She loved every second of deflowering William, revelled and delighted in giving him the first time sensations of pure unadulterated pleasure.

Lying by his side, she covered them over and they fell asleep.
