Holy crap! I just mean... holy crap! Y'know, in a good way. =D

Author's Response: LMAO, thanks hon, smooches.

Am I happy you posted tonight or what??? What a crummy day. After the flu finally passed, I got a call from school today--- my 14 yr old swallowed a pop top to an aluminum can. After 7 hours in the ER ... home to a neighbor in need of rescue and my dog with the rear end flu. blech!!! Your posting makes up for ALL of that rot. What does that tell you eh?

OK my friend, you know how much we have discussed our mutual "admiration" for JM/William/Spike? Well, I believe that you have successfully incorporated each and possibly every conceivable wonderful personality and physical trait (with the exception of being an incredible father ... which is sooooo sexy) into this one character of yours. DANG he is really perfect !! Truthfully, he is kind of blowing Buffy away (but Spike always did in my mind).

You wrote the game SO well. And I KNOW Bach is more than likely one of YOUR dinner guests should you play the game ... right?? Isn't Bach your favorite to knock out on the ivory when you play??

And come on, he recited poetry, favored Jennifer over Angelina (don't most guys die for Angelina and most women favor Jennifer?) And the "true love" of his great grandparents ... His answers tell of a thoughtful, sensitive, perfect match for me (if only I weren't married ... happily) mwaaahaaahaaahaaa kidding and you know it. I love my man ... he is my soul mate.

Boy T, you write those steamy scenes like no other. Just please promise a scene later (like chapter 127) where she does tie him up because I was sitting here muttering "yeah, yeah, tie him up, tie him up ... oh yeah ... silk scarves, up stairs ... go girl!!"

I know the angst is coming and it will ultimately make the ending better so,
I will console myself through the upcoming angst by rereading all of this great work that you have already written. Such a wonderful story. You know that it's my favorite.

Keep on rockin' my friend. Love, love, love it, every word.
Hugs and have a great weekend, Kimmie

Author's Response: Oh my, what a day indeed. I'm gald I could bring you a sort of break from it. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the game (Tina throws a knowing wink). Yup, this William/Spike is the perfect guy, well, he has some flaws, but overall Buffy is gobsmacked by him. Yup, I'm busted, Bach is my choice, for the very reasons William mentioned and because I do play so much of his music on the piano. Baroque rocks in my mind - geek that I am. You know he had to do the poetry bit, I mean it's Wiliam we're talking about here. And since he's all about being faithful and such, naturally he would choose the girl next door - Jennifer. LMAO, so you want a bondage scene huh? I might be able to slide that in at some point. Yes the angst is forthcoming, but I know you can handle it despite your self-procalimed angst-whimp status. It's spuffy in the end and you know I wouldn't write it any other way. Many smooches and hugs to you my friend, talk to you soon.

absolutely fantastic

Author's Response: Thank you hon, glad you enjoyed it.

Thank God, that you´re going to write a Happy End Story. I hate sad stories. Really.

That was a great, fantastic chapter. I loved your choice of persons who are invited to the party and I loved it that Buffy knows now that he is a really intelligent person.

I think i was a really great gift Buffy gave him and that he shoul understand right then that she wants more from him than his body. But he didn´t want to answer the last question. Guess why, he?? A little afraid.

Okay, this was the already a happy chapter and now, I guess, there is coming the angst, am I right?????

Well, than have a wonderful day or night or whatever and we´ll hear from each other.

Smoooooooooooooooooochies. Caro

Author's Response: Oh yes, it will definetely be a happy ending, I don't like sad stories either. Glad you liked the choices in dinner guests - I threw one of my own choices out there of course, couldn't help it (Bach). William does understand to an extent that Buffy wants him for more than just his talents, but until she actually admits it to him, he doesn't want to assume too much - insecurity. Yes, you're right, the angst will be in the next chapter, the muse insist it be so. But stick with me, it's spuffy in the end sweety. Thanks for the lovely review my friend, cyber hugs and kissess to you.

Loved the game and their answers, almost as much as I loved the growing familiarity between them. I'm glad they both could relax and be themselves and that your muse decided to give us more of this glimpse into what could be. It was a sweet, hot and overall well rounded chapter, just awesome. More?

Author's Response: THank you so much my dear friend, it wouldn't be posted without your help, smooches.

Oh... *insert lots and lots of praise*... lol
Wonderful update, you're just... well.... a damn good writer to say the least :-)

Author's Response: Is it possible for me to blush any harder right now? Yup, you made me do it. Many hugs and kissess for your lovely words hon, I'm thrilled you enjoyed the chapter.

Hi don't know why I never started reading this earlier, but I think the first chapter is great! :D I can't believe this is your first fanfic. Fantastic.

Author's Response: I'm so blushing right now, cuz your an author I look up to. Yup, cross my heart that it is indeed my first fic. My saving grace is that I'm a fast learner. I do so hope you enjoy the story hon, thanks for making my day/wee/month, smooches.

Awwwwwww they are just so cute together, still really enjoying this :D

Author's Response: Thanks my friend, talk to you soon, hope the meds are doing their job.

You just know that Spike would be the over-achiever type for that kind of attention - 4,5,6...however many it takes before you pass out. :P

Loved the Q&A...he's such a softie inside. :D

Author's Response: Hee hee, yup, Glad you liked the game/chapter, hugs and kissess for the awesome review sweety.

That was so hot. William is such a sweetie and I like that he is smart as well.

Please update soon.

Author's Response: Glad ou enjoyed it hon. Yup, William is definetely educated and refined, it just doesn't have much of an opportunity to show itself. Thanks for the great review, smooches.

PS Hon, there were not only tears for william, I was crying too a bit, and thanks so much for one more nice chapter. See my brain is working a bit better again LOL It's such a great story

Author's Response: Awww, well I didn't mean to make you cry, but I'm glad it touched a spot in your heart. Thanks so much for your lovely words.

Excellent chap. A truly "date" like evening and I hope Buffy learned what she need to learn. They belong together. I love the thought's from Spike that he will pursue Buffy after he quites the "business". If Buffy has enough money to "rent" Spike all the time, maybe she can just invest in his resturant business with him! More please... what game does Buffy have in mind to play?

Author's Response: Yes, they needed to connect on a more personal/romantic level. William has definetely decided that Buffy is going to be his number one priority from now on and find another way to buy his restaurant. Buffy could easily 'rent' him out in order to help him reach his goal, but that's the easy way out and she still needs to hear from him exactly what's going on inhis life - all the details. I hope you enjoy the game they will play next chapter. Thanks for the lovely review hon.

Wonderful, wonderful chapter. Liked how she slipped his real name in there like that.

Author's Response: Ah yes, she had to do that. Wanted him to know she was making love to the man, not the gigolo. Glad you liked it hon, thanks for the great review.
