Chapter 6

Moments like these.

It had been a couple of months since Buffy’s close call. Since then Giles had upped her training and insisted that she be accompanied on protrols at all times, at least until she was more familiar with Sunnydale. She had reluctantly agreed.

Spike had been the one with her on most protrols, unless Dawn wanted a night with him and in that case Giles had insisted he accompany her. She had been reluctant at first but in the end caved when it was clear that he wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

Thankfully those nights where far and few between.

It’s not that she didn’t like hanging out with Giles but even with all his years of experience and training she worried. Worrying made her vulnerable. She tried not to but the fact was that she had begun to care about her watcher and the thought of him getting hurt or worse scared her beyond words.

It had become a weekly habit of theirs, after doing a few sweeps of the town Buffy and Spike would return to her house to watch a movie together. They had grown close over the past couple of months and Buffy had found herself deeply in love with him. She knew it was wrong, no matter how good Spike was he was still technically a vampire, the very thing she was born to hunt down and destroy. But no matter how she tired, she couldn’t seem to fight it and to be quite honest a large part of her didn’t want to. She knew he had done terrible things in his past, she'd read about most of them but when she was with him, when she looked into his eyes all she could see was the good he had done.

So now here they sat, watching another one of Buffy’s favourite chick flicks. Spike had said he wanted to watch something full of action, blood and gore but when she had replied that she had enough of that in her real life he had caved. It didn’t help when she had looked up at him, her eyes large and green, shinning like emeralds, her lips moist and pouty. He had mostly agreed to her pick in movie because he had, had an overwhelming urge to kiss her. The movie was almost over when Buffy stood from her spot next to him, moving for the kitchen again.

“Hey, where you off to?” Spike asked. Turning to face him Buffy raised the empty bowl in her hand.

“Refill. You want anything? I’m pretty sure there's more blood in the fridge.” He couldn’t believe she had actually bothered to go out and buy him blood, let alone be so calm and not disgusted in the slightest, warming it for him or even watching him drink it.

When she had given him a glass when they'd first arrived he had attempted to go into a different room to drink it but she had been quick to stop him, saying he was being ridiculous. Everyone had to eat, even him and as long as he wasn’t draining a human she didn’t care that he drank blood, she accepted that part of him.

He almost didn’t believe his own ears. As much as he had cared for Faith he knew that she would never be able to accept that part of him, his past, the things he had done even the fact that he was a vampire. She had never been able to be in the same room while he drank blood and when he had she would leave, a look of disgust on her face.

She had told him once that while she did have feelings for him it wasn’t love and that it never could be. He remembered her words so clearly “I have feelings for you. I do. But it's not love. I could never trust you enough for it to be love.” He had been crushed. He cared for Faith deeply, true he wasn’t in love with her but he knew it could have been. But now Buffy knowing what he was, the things he had done and already admitting that she trusted him and accepted his vampire side and past, he couldn’t help but feel his heart swell.

“No I’m fine thanks, luv.” He smiled as she walked off, he could hear her making more popcorn and couldn’t help but laugh.

“What’s so funny?” She called out.

“I’m just wondering where you fit all that food in that stick figure body of yours.”

“Hey!” She laughed, coming back popcorn in hand. “Stick figure?” She asked, one hand on her hip and watching with a raised eyebrow as he stood from his seat laughing slightly.

“You know you're gorgeous, pet.” He smiled, still slightly laughing but Buffy just stared at him, surprised.

“You think I’m gorgeous?” She whispered, this made Spike stop laughing as he looked at her.

“You know you are.” He whispered, his voice coming out huskier then he had planned. They stared at each other a moment longer before Spike cleared his throat, breaking the silence.

“Movies finished, luv. What do you want to watch now?”

“Um…” she started moving across the room but before she realized what had happened she was falling, having tripped over a corner of the rug. The bowl fell from her hand just as Spike moved to catch her but was seconds to late, together they landed on the floor with a thud. Buffy couldn’t help but giggle, soon Spike was laughing with her.

After a few moments they stopped staring at each other. Looking into each other’s eyes Buffy felt her heart rate pick up, she tried to calm it but failed. Looking down at their position she sent him a smile.

“You're starting to crush me.” She laughed.

“Sorry about that.” He replied but still made no attempt to move. He leaned down to pick a few stray pieces of popcorn from her hair, making her smile as he threw it aside. Once done he brushed the hair from her face, she saw it then and almost screamed in delight as he moved forward, capturing her lips with his own.

She moaned at the contact, parting her lips she felt his tongue slip in kissing her passionately. It had started out slow and sweet but soon things picked up becoming urgent, full of heat and passion. She felt his hardened length pressing into her jean covered centre and pushed up against him, desperately trying to cause some friction in hopes of dulling the now painful ache between her thighs. Spike pulled away allowing her to breathe, placing wet kisses down her neck.

“Oh god Spike, I want you.” She groaned, instantly regretting having spoken when she felt him tense up above her. Her words snapped Spike back to reality, making him realize what he was about to do. Being attracted and involved with a slayer just lead to badness.

Quickly pulling away he stood to his feet, running a shaky hand through his messy curls.

“Spike…” Buffy started, pushing up on her hands to look up at him.

“I-I’m sorry but I have to go.” He quickly answered, moving so fast she didn’t see him until he was grabbing his leather duster from the coat rack and all but running out the front door leaving a stunned and frustrated Buffy behind.
