Yummy--- tough but vulnerable Spike! What girl can resist? Apparently, not even primal dominatrix Buffy! Looking foward to more!

lets hope that they will really talk this time and wonder if she would tell Giles.... waiting for more!!

Woah! What a great story! There's so many wonderful things about this fic... I love the inclusion of Anya, one of my favorite characters. And Buffy-Spike claims are always fun to read about. I can't wait to see how Buffy handles things. I mean that... I can't wait. Please, please, please write more quickly.

i just want to pop buffy in the head. poor spike i feel so bad for him. i read other reviews and i ahve to say i love your story b/c if roles were reversed spike would most likely be acting the same way as buffy. keep up the great work and i look foward to more chapts.

did i mention how much i dislike buffy in this fic??? if i have already, i'm saying it (well...writing it) again. I REALLY DISLIKE BUFFY IN THIS FIC. i don't know what the hell is posessing her but i hope us readers find out soon. spike's been a slave to women enough (yes i said slave cuz that's exactly what buffy is making him out to be) and I think he needs to get a little payback. please tell me he's getting payback soon. anyway, i really do love this fic dispite buffy's behaviour. you're doing a really good job. please keep up the great work. post soon. loved it. wonder what giles is gonna think of his slayer now.

This sobby whimpering version of Spike just isn't ringing true to me. One would think that, being a vampire, he wouldn't be begging for Buffy to stop, and definately wouldn't be whimpering because of pain. He's too much of a victim here...not enough emphasis right now on Buffy's victimization, albeit self-inflicted, because of the ritual. Nevertheless, she is still a victim and seem supremely helpless to control herself. I really would like to know what went wrong? This doesn't seem to be a pure ritual of any kind. More like a blending of the Dominace and Claiming rituals. Did something slip in and possess Buffy, or is this a primitive Slayer coming out? And if it is the Slayer, wouldn't the primative Vampire demon that is Spike delight in the primal play that is happening? Unless, of course, the fact that it is the Slayer has the Vampire reeling. Again, it is difficult to see how this is heading down the road of Spuffy, especially if Spike's want and need for Buffy is forced via whatever ritual actually took place.

ARGHH! I love the story but have to admit I'm getting a little weary of BitchBuffy. (Sorry!) Are they going to find out soon what the problem is? And fix it? Cuz Me can;t standz the Spike-hurtin' no more. Love You!!!

she had a *lot* to make up for.

Can't wait to see how she makes up for it.;)

oh my.. i wonder when Giles will find out bout this... and cant wait for the scooby meetin.... wanna see what kind of reaction spike might just have towards everyone...... love t h update and waiting for more!

I love the way you portray the dual sides of Buffy and how Spike is coping with it. I also really liked the strong Anya. I hope she can figure out how to help them!

Finaly the nice Buffy shows up. I want this to be a mutual love and claiming affair. But your you story is beautiful thus far and I will read what ever you make of it because it is FANTASTIC.

Wow. I'm taking you at your word that Buffy has reached a turning point here. Cause the tender, intimate side of this claim is what I've been waiting for. WIth your sensous inventiveness of the mark and the effect it has on Spike, it should be something. special

And saying that Buffy has a lot to make up for is the understatement of the year. Make us believe she's worthy of him.

Yeah, but if Spike happened to be the dominant one, who knows what he might do. He might be just like her. Then again, I'm not a fan of this cruel Buffy either.
