Trust me, I have faith in RILEY where Harmony is concerned (most of the time)

But wouldn't that voice make your blood rush to your legs so you can beat a hasty retreat?

Author's Response: Heehee, yup, I'd run the other direction too. Of course that's the reason why Spike chose to go there, b/c Harmony is the epitomy of a woman using him. Thanks for the review hon.

Of course I have faith in you . I guess Spike can't give up his job like this , even if it's the thing he wants the most right now. And Harmony doesn't bother me with Spike ( what ??!! A truly fervent spuffy shipper is talking that way??! Lol) , maybe because we saw them on screen , and I know that it has nothing to do with an established relationship , it' s just a fuck.
But I also have the feeling that you stopped at the right moment .. Evil you or gentle you ? because Spike is going to receive the call from Lorne ? Unless he didn't take his cell-phone with him..

Anyway you wrote great lines about his misery , and his resolve.

Buffy .. what to say ? She's craving him , longing for his touch and his incredible presence and i'm so glad to see that she has already decided to call back Lorne.

Waiting for the next part with the same eagerness.
Beautifully done !


Author's Response: Thanks sweety, I won't let anyone down, that's a promise. Oh yes, if William/Spike could quit he would, but he's close to it. Wow, your the first to say Harmony doesn't bother you, lol, yup... just a fuck. As for Buffy, well... she's not thinking straight - too much sex in her dreams. Thanks for the awesome review.

Argh!!! Love the way you are building the tension. I'm sure Spike will be jealous as all get-out when he sees Buffy and Riley at Grisanti's. I can't wait until they get to the point where they can tell each other how much they have been thinking about the other-- that sweet moment of vulnerable communication. An absoluately great update!

Author's Response: Oh yes, I had to set the stage, a little glimpse into the future is always a good teaser. Thanks for the wonderul review sweety.

Poor William my heart went out to him when he thought it was Buffy who called for his services. As much as the Spike/Harmony scenes squicked me out, I totatally understand why William is doing what he's doing. This chapter really gives us insight into where William is at emotionally. I can't wait to find out if Lorne gets to Spike before he sleeps with Harmony... if Spike can even go through with that is. I enjoyed reading Buffy's POV too. Great chapter!

Author's Response: Harmony and Spike, ick factor x's10, but yes I had to do it. William was pretty vulnerable to Spike's suggestion b/c he was convinced Buffy would never call. He's just trying to do what he thinks will help. Thanks for the great review sweety.

Ok..I´ll try to have a little faith in you.... But I think i will wait to see what next chapter comes with before I make any of the commentts I want to make... Please update soon. I can hardly wait.

Author's Response: Please do sweety, and I know it's hard to see Spike so close to doing Harmony - I nearly puked having to write myself, believe me. Thanks so much for the review and I'll do my best to post asap as soon as I'm finished.

Would it really be a bad thing if Spike and Buffy got together? I hope not. I wonder how their next meeting will go. How long until Spike has enough money to quit? I can't wait for Buffy to break up with Riley! Update soon please!

Author's Response: Oh, of course not, but I'm not ready for it to happen just yet, plus a little drama never hurt, it adds a little spice, kicks it up a bit. It actually isn't that long till Spike can quit, but it's not so close, either, that it's feasable to do so. Thanks for the awesome review hon, and oh, I have something planned for Riley.

Damn, why are Buffy and Spike (ok NORMALLY just Buffy, but I digress-plus makes me love this story just a little bit more) always so deep in denial? They need a good wake up slap. Anyways I love watching this story unfold. And it is a slow torture waiting for the next chp.

Author's Response: Ah yes denial, well, their arrangement didn't turn out as expected and as such, yes, a good slap is in order, lol. I'll do my best to post soon sweety, thanks so much for the review.

I have faith but I need them to get back to gether again please....... I'll beg I'm not bellow lowering my self in the name of good writing and plots ...

Author's Response: Oh honey, don't worry it's spuffy all the way - just got a throw in enough to mix up the pot. LOL, begging, oh no, don't do that, I feel awful I did what I did already - but it is in the name of plot. Thanks so much for the review, take care.

Haven't lost my faith in you :-) And thank you for clearing that thing with the Ivanhoe not beeing from the book.. Saves me lot of wondering in plotlines... :-)

Loved this chapter b/c it gives me a look into their inner sanctum. Their fears and their mindsets.. And poor Harmony.. Just not the right tone.. Kinda tonedeaf.. Having a hard time seeing Lorne beeing able to call in time, since he's that close to *fuck out that brain, that she doesn't have"... and what reaction it will get, if Spike answers a phonecall at that moment.. :-)

So many things about to happen, really looking forward to read it all... The angst, the fun, the smut and whatever you throw at me... I'm reading

Author's Response: LOL, fuck out the brain she doesn't have - too funny girl. Thanks for the wonderful review and for having faith in me sweety.

PLEASE update soon! I'm panicing her!

Author's Response: I'll do my best sweety, as long as the muse cooperates. Thanks for the review.

Absolutely great as this fic has been already...now I really really, really want some updates now that you're getting to plot--well that and how you left it with the Spike/Lorne/Harmony deal :P And congratulations on the nominations, I remember how much fun those can be--especially the ones in the beginning :-D Of course you deserve them though..it's a wonderful story..and think if I suck up enough i could convince you that updating sometime before/during the weekend would be a good idea? Maybe I should stop telling other people that I'd like them to update and go finish a fic of my own so that I can update ;) (make it not so one sided and all)

Author's Response: Hi sweety. Yeah, I'm blushing like a virgin over the award thing - not in a million years did i expect that. I felt it was time for a cliffie, keep my readers with me. Gotta get peole riled up a little - you know what I mean. I do hope to update soon, but this next chapter has to be juuuuust right. Let's hope the muse makes an appearnece soon, he's a tad tired lately. Thank you sweety for such a nice review and all your wonderful compliments... I'm truly humbled.

Holy Update Batman!!!!! YOU ROCK SISTER!!!

Eeeexcellllent choice of Spikes next customer ... knowing that pretty much everyone in Spuffyville is driven bonkers by Harmful. And the purple frilly teddy so typically tacky Harmony. (sorry if any one out there owns one but we know that Harmony's was really over the top) Her being so contrived and doing the seductress thing YYYEEEEEELLLCH
And of course he'd have to be loaded on Jacky D to actually go through with that evening (not to mention wipe away his pain). Gotta tell you T ... he's breakin' my heart.

Then there's Buffy doing her obligatory "Cleopatra/Queen of D'nile" thing telling herself that the next encounter will show itself as strictly business.
I know that eventually she'll realize that he is one in a million and her soul mate AND I know that we have a long way to go before that ... hey, it's gonna be a fun ride and I trust you to make it exciting along the way.

Thanks for the rapid update ... you are THE BEST!!
Hugs,
Kimmie






Author's Response: LMAO, I always loooooooove your reviews, they always make my day, hell, my week. Yup, I just needed a typical bimbo, and who better than Harmful? Did you feel like puking when she was in seductive mode??? Imagine me trying to write it - with a ralph bucket next to me, lol. OMG, LMAO then LMFAO some more..... your comment: "Cleopatra/Queen of D'nile", your too funny.... you should write a comedy fic, I'm serious, I'd be the first to promote it. Yup we've a bit of bumpy ride, but it will make the destination more beautiful, glad you enjoyed this chappy so much. I thought I was going to be drawn and quartered here. Thanks for the truly oustnading review, *hugs*, Tina
