“You did this? All by yourself?” Spike made a big show of looking impressed, and Hannah nodded eagerly. “That’s amazing, niblet! The best looking rhino I’ve ever seen.”
Hannah beamed at him. “You saw that it’s a rhino! You know what Mommy thought?” She glanced at her mother before turning back to Spike; “That it was an elephant!”
Spike gave Buffy an amused look. “Did she now?” Hannah nodded with a giggle, and he ‘tsked’ as he shook his head, looking at Buffy. “Really, pet? Can’t tell the difference between an elephant and a rhino? That’s sad.”
“Yeah!” Hannah agreed, clearly pleased that Spike was taking her side against her mother. “Mommy, don’t you know that elephants have trunks?”
Spike nodded in agreement, trying to stay serious. “Yeah, Buffy, don’t you know that? That thing…” He pointed at something on the drawing. “…is clearly a horn. It’s very obvious.”
Hannah’s smile widened, and she shoved her drawing under Buffy’s nose, pointing at the object in question. It was painted with blue crayon. “See that it’s a horn now, Mommy?”
Buffy mock glared at Spike over Hannah’s head, before taking another look. “You’re absolutely right, sweetie, of course it’s a horn. I don’t know what I was thinking.” Hannah looked very pleased. Buffy then turned to Spike and handed him a large bowl. “You take the popcorn, I’m gonna mix some lemonade. Hannah, why don’t you go into the living room and pick out which movie we’re gonna watch?”
The girl let out a happy squeal and ran past Spike into the other room. “Yaay! The Little Mermaid!”
“What?!” Spike stared after her, then turned to Buffy with a horrified expression on his face. “Tell me she’s joking!”
“Sorry, she just loves that movie.” Buffy shrugged, then couldn’t help but giggle. “Aww, does watching The Little Mermaid ruin your Big Bad image?” He just snorted, causing her to laugh. “Tell you what; after Hannah’s gone to bed, I promise to make it up to you for having to watch such a… what would you call it? …poncy movie?”
He cringed at her horrible imitation of a British accent, then lit up as her words started to sink in. “Is that so? Make it up, you say? I’m listening.”
Almost two hours later, the movie was over and Hannah was obviously starting to get tired. Which she, naturally, desperately denied. “I don’t wanna go to bed yet!”
Buffy sighed. “I know, sweetie, but it’s late, and it’s a school night. By the way, you’ll be taking the school bus tomorrow, remember?”
Hannah groaned. “I want Spike to take me to school.”
Shaking her head, Buffy gave her daughter a firm look. “Not tomorrow. It’s Friday, and you agreed to take the bus once a week.” The girl pouted, but didn’t object.
“How ‘bout I’ll come pick you up after school instead?” Spike glanced at Buffy to see if she would mind, but she gave him an assuring smile to let him know it was okay.
Hannah’s face lit up. “Really? Can we stop by the park before we go home? I wanna ride the swings again!”
“Sure.” Spike paused. “If you’ll be a good girl and go get ready for bed. Your mum’s right, it’s late.”
Hesitating only for a moment, Hannah jumped up from the couch and headed for the stairs. Then she stopped, looking at her mother over her shoulder. “Spike’s gonna read me a bedtime-story, not you.” After stating that fact, she hurried up the stairs.
Buffy smiled sweetly, gesturing for him to follow the girl upstairs. “Go ahead; you don’t wanna keep her waiting. Oh, and…” Her smile grew wider. “I’ll be waiting for you upstairs in the bedroom.”
Spike gulped, seeing images of a naked Buffy lying in the bed, all too clearly in his head. He then rushed up the stairs, taking them two steps at a time, while deciding to make the bedtime-story as short as possible.
When Spike finally was done saying goodnight to Hannah and entered the bedroom, Buffy raised her eyebrows. “So, you made it. I almost started to think you’d forgotten about me.” She pouted a little.
Spike chuckled, making his way over to the bed. “Not bloody likely.” He paused. “Are you naked under there?”
She gave him a sweet smile. “Why don’t you come under here and find out?” Pulling his shirt over his head, Spike climbed into the bed and tried to get under the covers, but Buffy stopped him. “I don’t think so, mister.” He frowned, and she explained; “Under here, no clothes are allowed. Sorry, but those are the rules.”
He smirked, unbuttoning his jeans and letting them drop to the floor. “Think I like your rules so far. Any more I should know about?”
“A few.” His brows went up as he waited for her to go on. “You’re gonna have to kiss me…”
He leaned over and kissed her softly, and she let out a soft moan. Then he pulled back, his hand starting to gently stroke her stomach. “What else?”
“Well…” Buffy seemed to be thinking about it, then closed her eyes as his hand slowly wandered over her body. “Mmm. Then you’ll have to do that… Perfect.” She let out a gasp as his fingers finally found her swollen clit, and started rubbing against his hand. “Whatever you do, keep doing it!”
“Like this, don’t you?” He tried not to laugh as she nodded eagerly, wrapping her arms around his neck. “What else would you like me to do?” He kissed her again, harder this time, and when he pulled back again, they were both gasping for air.
Buffy swallowed. “I want you to…” Then she hesitated, cheeks turning red. She knew he was waiting for her to say it out loud, and she took a deep breath. “Make love to me?”
He gave her a shaky smile and kissed her one more time. Then he let one finger slide inside her, gently rubbing her clit. Buffy started moaning with pleasure, desperately trying to raise her hips to give him better access. He let a second finger in, pumping his hand slowly at first, then harder. When he could tell she was close to losing it, he quickly pulled out his fingers and rolled over, so he was on top of her, replacing his fingers with his hard cock. Her grip around him tightened, and she let out a whimper. “Ooh! Oh God!”
Grunting, he started thrusting harder, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to last much longer, but too far gone to care. “Aargh! Fuck! Buffy, love you… God, I’m gonna…”
Her fingers were running, almost painfully hard, through his hair and she kissed him fiercely, her hips moving with his in a steady rhythm. “Mmm, Spike! Love you, too, ooh! God! Yes, that’s it, Spike, please! I’m…” She stopped babbling as her entire body seemed to explode, pressing her face against his neck to keep from screaming and risk waking Hannah. Spike on the other hand didn’t have her self control, and came with a roar.
For a couple of minutes, they just laid there, panting and trying to catch their breath. Finally, Buffy was able to speak again. “Did you mean what you said?”
He just nodded. “You?” She nodded as well, and a happy smile appeared on his face. “Yeah? Say it again.”
Buffy couldn’t help but giggle, he was just adorable. Adorable, and incredibly sexy. She leaned over and let her lips brush against his. “I love you.”
The look on his face was pure bliss as he pulled her back into his arms, and she just snuggled closer. “Love you too, pet.”
