Chapter 26 - Let Loose
They barley made it out the exit into the dark alley before Buffy felt herself being pinned to the wall and Spike’s mouth attacking hers.
She let out a muffled moan and responded to his actions by arching into him. He let out a muffled groan as he pushed against her. Buffy smiled against his lips but then let her brain only concentrate on the feel of his body pressed against hers.
The tiles of the wall dug into her back but she couldn’t seem to care less. Oh, thank god we didn’t do this inside. Okay, we pretty much did but still…
This was all going against her own little ‘rules’ of dating. They had been together for a little less than a week and here they were – furiously making out in a scabby alley. How romantic, she thought sarcastically and yet she couldn’t bring herself to move away.
Normally she used to wait at least until a fifth date before she did… this with a guy. Sure, there was some making out session in the car or an innocent kiss by the door but the moment she and Spike were sharing right now – no.
Breathing started to become an issue as Spike pulled away, gasping for air. Buffy met his eyes for a second and she felt her heart swell at the emotion there. Quickly Buffy smashed her lips against his again and she felt one of his hands wound around her waist, pulling her even closer.
Buffy felt her head start to spin by the passionate kiss, by the affect she was obviously having on him pressing against her stomach and all the emotions that was swimming in her head. None she had the strength to think through right now.
Instead she let out a soft moan and leant her head against the cold wall, her eyes fluttering shut. She shuddered although she was sure she was going to burn up as Spike trailed kisses along her jaw and down her neck.
“Buffy,” he breathed and let his hands roam over her body, feeling her body press against his. His eyes rolled shut as he tried not to do something that would made them go too far.
Yeah, like you haven’t already, mate.
He couldn’t believe how fast things had changed during the last couple of days. The events seemed to have brought them closer. Weird events, tearful ones, ones that he wouldn’t even want his closest friends to be a part of… So why didn’t he mind when Buffy tagged along? Actually, he couldn’t imagine how it would’ve turned out without her. Would he even have gone over to Lily for example? He didn’t even want to think about that. Point was, Spike couldn’t see how his life had been before. Without her there.
Spike couldn’t help himself but break away from her neck and quickly lean in and capturing her mouth in a searing kiss, the short time he hadn’t touched them being way too much. His body pressed hers against the wall as their tongues met.
With one hand still around her waist, he let his other entwine with her hair. Suddenly feeling they still were too far apart, Spike let both his hands course down along her body to rest at her thighs, gently tugging as if asking for permission. Buffy understood his silent question and lifted her legs as Spike helped her to wrap them around his waist, the movement causing them both to groan at the new closeness.
The feeling of the full length of his body pressed against her sent her mind reeling, but not enough to get her off tracks. During the movements their lips hadn’t separated once.
“Spike,” she moaned and ran her hand through his hair. “I –“
After that, everything happened so fast.
A door was opened.
Their lips separated and the kiss was broken.
Voices were heard from behind, as the light from the pub was seen.
Spike let go of Buffy’s legs and she stumbled down onto the ground, barley able to regain her balance as they backed away from each other.
The three people who were now standing in the alley had all different looks on their faces. Gunn had a smug ‘oh-I-know-what-you-just-did’ look, Xander looked embarrassed of what they just walked in on and Fred’s mouth had formed a perfect little ‘oh’.
Blushing, Buffy’s eyes looked everywhere but at the three friends. Quickly glancing at Spike she realized he was as embarrassed as she was, judging by the way he kept clench and unclench his jaw.
“Sorry, we’ll just go inside,” Fred said with a little smile, and tried to grab Xander and Gunn by their sleeves. Gunn on the other hand, wasn’t too keen on leaving.
“So, care to tell me what was going on here?” He asked, smirking that only made Buffy’s cheeks heat up even more. Spike swallowed and exchanged a look with Buffy before turning back to his friend.
“Uh, Buffy dropped a… She dropped a – “
“Coin!”
“Pen!”
Buffy sent him an irritated look. Sure, they were out here looking for a pen of all things. Spike raised his eyebrows in a “what?!” – expression. Buffy only sighed and shook her head.
“Ah, coin-pen. I see. So Spike, did you find it in Buffy’s mouth?” He grinned and Buffy let out a frustrated little whimper as she put her head in her hands.
Gunn couldn’t help but laugh at Buffy’s miserable face as Spike put a comforting hand at her shoulder. “Aw, didn’t mean to embarrass you, but seriously. A pen, Spike? A coin is a little more believable… Well, if we wouldn’t have gotten such a clear sight of your pants, that is.”
Spike arched an eyebrow in response.
“Jeez, man! I didn’t know coins turned you on that much. I mean, it’s all dark out here but not that dark.”
Buffy only wanted to sink through the ground and never show her face again and yet she couldn’t help but laugh. It was all too comical. She put a hand to her mouth as she giggled when Spike sent her a glare before tugging his coat closer around his body.
“Ugh, too much information,” Xander groaned, shaking his head.
“Sorry again,” Fred blushed, keeping her eyes on a point to the side of the couple. “Uh… We just wanted to know where you disappeared to, although Gunn seemed to have an idea already…”
“And guess if I was right?” He beamed.
“All right,” Spike said sharply with a sigh. “Show’s over.”
“Oh, no,” Xander replied sarcastically. “And I thought it was just getting started.” Spike shot him a deathly glare as the gang started to go inside again, leaving the blonde duo by themselves in their humiliation.
They stayed in complete silence for a few moments until they dared to look at each other, both with small smiles on their faces.
“Okay,” Buffy said, breathing a deep sigh. “That wasn’t awkward at all.”
Spike smirked. “I told you they have the worst sense of timing ever.”
Buffy nodded firmly, keeping her gaze on the closed door. “I agree with you on that one. Well, at least we learned a lesson.”
He raised an eyebrow in question and Buffy turned to face him. “Hello?” She said, her eyebrows furrowed together. “Never make out in an alley when your friends are inside. Especially not after being so damn obvious.”
“True,” Spike agreed, nodding before sighing. “What do you say? Are we too humiliated to walk inside again or should we face the big bad wolf?”
“Wolf?” Buffy asked.
“Well in this case mostly Gunn because he won’t let this go by far, trust me. Maybe we should make sure we still have our pride or what do you say?”
Buffy nodded. “That’s probably the best. It might hurt Buffy’s ego if we don’t,” she added with a frown and Spike chuckled. She looked too damn cute.
Buffy pouted in response and Spike had to suppress the urge to groan. “Stop doing that. I’m bloody lost when you do it and you know it.”
An innocent smile appeared on Buffy’s face as she tilted her head. “Do I? Oops, sorry, didn’t know but don’t worry. Won’t happen again. Promise.”
He pulled her into his embrace and almost growled at her. “Don’t you dare. I love that pout.”
“Good,” she replied in a chipper voice before tugging at his hand. “Come on. It’s time for us to protect whatever is left of our pride.”
Spike shook his head with a smile on his face as he glanced lovingly at the woman in front of him. “As you wish.”
“A toast.”
“For what?”
“For protecting our pride,” Spike said, raising his glass to Buffy. She smiled and raised hers too. As they brought together their glasses, they rattled as the thin glass touch each other.
Buffy took a sip from the red wine and then put it down on the ground again, glancing about the perfect ocean.
“This was the best idea, Spike,” she told him softly, turning her head slightly to look at him. “The dinner, the wine… Everything. And on top of it – here.”
Spike nodded slightly as he realized that this woman brought out the shy William again with her sweet comments and that was something he thought only would show from time to time with his family. His inner poet was dying to find a pen and a paper and just write. But of course he didn’t, he decided to enjoy this evening with Buffy.
After walking back into the Wicca they had suffered a lot of comments, especially from Anya and Gunn. The others were a little more reserved but it still didn’t stop them from laughing at their troubles faces when Anya asked the intimate questions.
When they finally headed home, Spike had come up with an idea. In order to forget about their embarrassing time at the Wicca when their friends walked in on them, he thought they could go to the secluded beach the next day which Spike had shown her, her first days in Cornwall. And, when they were there they might as well bring dinner, he’d said.
Buffy thought it was a great idea.
She’d get to spend more time with Spike and without a lot of other people in the background. The best with this little beach was that no one seemed to visit it. Most of the people hung out at the larger one, were they could swim without any problems. It was harder here, at Spike’s little place but it still didn’t stop them.
Spike had fixed dinner after Buffy had confessed her lacking skills in cooking and now, they were sitting in the soft sand on a blanket with a whole refrigerator, glancing at the ocean as the sunset started to fall on them. It was still fairly warm, but Buffy couldn’t help but let out a little shudder at the icy winds from the ocean.
Spike noticed this and moved to sit behind her and offered her one of the blankets she had brought with them. She smiled at him before putting on a stubborn face.
“Thanks, I’m fine.”
Spike raised an eyebrow. “Luv, you’re freezing.”
“Not so much,” she replied and Spike let out a sigh. “What? It’s the truth.”
“Let me at least warm you,” he said and wrapped his arms around her form. She tensed up a bit before relaxing at the feeling of resting in his arms. Carefully she leant back into his embrace and let out a content sigh.
“All right, maybe I was a little cold,” she admitted solemnly and Spike chuckled making her body shake in time with his as the chuckle rumbled through his chest.
“You’re a bit stubborn, has anyone ever told you that, pet?”
Buffy shrugged. “Once or twice, not that much.”
“Think I’ll have to repeat it,” he said and instinctually he let his chin rest against the top of her head. He tensed up, not meaning to get so intimate but Buffy didn’t seem to mind. She snuggled closer into his embrace as the sun slowly started to go down.
“This is nice,” Buffy replied.
“Yeah. It is,” Spike answered. “I’m glad you thought it was a good idea. I felt kind of poncy when I asked.”
“Why?” Buffy frowned. “It was cute, and nice and thoughtful. Nothing to feel… poncy or whatever for.”
“Maybe not,” he replied softly. “I only wanted something good for you.”
“And you did it.”
Silence fell over the calm beach as the pair just sat there, enjoying the moment when Buffy leant her head backwards, resting it against his shoulder. Spike slowly glanced down at her with a smile.
“I really appreciate all this, I mean really.”
“Got the memo,” Spike smirked. “But, I think I deserve something as a reward.”
Buffy tilted her head a bit and glanced up at him. “You think so, don’t you?” Spike nodded instantly, imitating a good version of an impatient five year old. “What could I give you in return?”
Spike curled his tongue behind his teeth. “How about a kiss?”
“I could do that,” she smiled. Spike bent down and met her halfway, their lips fusing together in a soft kiss. But as with most of their kisses, it soon escaladed into something more heated. When Spike felt Buffy’s tongue touch his he wrapped his arms around her tighter. Buffy let out a content sigh but became frustrated that she couldn’t wrap her arms all around him.
Making a quick decision she broke away from the kiss, nearly whimpering at the loss of contact. Spike looked confused for a few seconds before he realized that she only made a move to come closer to him as she straddled his hips and once again met him in a searing kiss.
Spike let his hands play with the hem of her shirt, touching the soft skin there as they continued to kiss as fiercely. Buffy let out a moan when she felt his hand slide down her back and moved closer into him.
All too soon, air was becoming an issue and they had to break apart. Buffy rested her forehead against his as she caught her breath. Pulling back slightly, eyeing him, she bit her lip.
Spike frowned at her when he saw her in deep thoughts. Carefully he placed a strand of hair behind her ear. “What are you thinking about?”
You got your chance now, Summers, so why won’t you take it? He’s asking you, wanting to now what you’re thinking about. Let’s face it; you can’t avoid the talk forever.
Buffy silently cursed her inner voice, but she realized as annoying as it was, that it was right. She had to talk to him about everything, about their relationship… It had been avoided so many times and to be honest, it felt good not having to worry about what would happen in the future. But truth was, she didn’t want this to be a summer fling, and if she didn’t want it to be that she couldn’t keep avoiding the subject. They had to talk, now or never.
“I think we need to talk.”
So, what do you think? Your opinion really means a lot to me! :)
