I really enjoyed this chapter, a bit short though we get a better feel of the actual man not the monster. I am glad you allowed him to have a family not minions, people who care about him. I think Riley should show up as she is leaving or being driven away by Wm's driver. If he follows he might realize how much out his league he is. Thank you for such a wonderful story and allowing the artistic side of Wm to be seen.

Author's Response: Yeah, I know it was short. However, it was either post a short chapter or not post at all, so I decided to post.

I'm glad you liked the addition of a family of sorts for Spike, I wanted him to have someone that cared for him. Those are very good ideas for Riley, I'll give some thought. :D Thanks for sharing them with me and for your awesome review! *hugs*

Oh wow! After reading your profile, English isn't your first language? You write so well! Better than most people whose first language is English!

That said... I can't remember whether I reviewed for this chapter yet, haha. But I love it, I can't wait to see where the story goes. :) I really like how Spike is a vampire, but it's an alternate universe. Looking forward to seeing why he's isolating himself like that. :) LOVING this fic!

Author's Response: Awww, thanks for your sweet words! *blushes* Yep, English is not my first language, however, I had the good luck of studying in a very good bilingual school and I guess that helps. :D

Hee, and thank you for your lovely review! I think you'll be finding out why he's isolating himself on the next chapter, at least in part. ;)

first YOU AND THIS STORY KICK ASS!!!! i love this story soooo much and am SOOOO happy that u updated. i LOVED this chapter, it was just the sweetest thing and im so glad that theyre connnecting so well and are going to see each other again. also i think its hilarious that riley saw all of that and that he thinks buffy is his, like he could ever beat out spike. im so happy that thiings are going well between them and that spike cant resist buffy. also i cant wait to read wat riley says to buffy, shes totally not going to take his crap(at least hopefully). i really hope that spike and buffy continure to see each other and that they get together and are happy. also i hope that riley doesnt do anything stupid when he finds out that buffys isnt his and that if he does spike kicks his ass. PLEASE update as soon as soon u can, i CANT wait to read wat happens next between buffy and spike and buffy and riley. THANX soo much.

Author's Response: Thank you for your lovely review! I'm so happy you're enjoying this story so much. I like knowing that you find Spike and Buffy's connection sweet. :D You'll find out what Riley's up to very soon, hopefully. ;)

Like! yes! giggles back. I'm so inclined....fabulous! I'm really enjoying this especially since Spike gets to be a vamp and is all mysterious! Poor Spikey.... he just can't say no to Buffy. One night only, sure Spike! You can do a ton of deliciously spuffy things in two weeks time in London! Especially with cold nights that need snuggling and heated kisses to keep you warm. Spike is already so whipped, one little peck on the cheek and he's ready to roll over and beg for his belly to be scratched! More please, I'm dying for the next encounter!

Author's Response: Thanks, sweetie! ... Hee, yes, poor Spikey simply can't help himself, not that he's really trying. ;) And I agree, there are lots of deliciously Spuffy things they can do and you gave me very nice ideas for it. Thankee!

i enjoy this story and look forward to seeing how it unfolds in futue chapters.

Update soon.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, sweetie!

Wow! The manips are beautiful! And the Spuffy interaction rocked! I just love how Spike and Buffy play off each other. Wonderful chapter! =)
Congrats on the noms!!! I'm curious can anyone vote, or do you need a lj?

Author's Response: Aren't they? I just love them both to pieces. And yes, anyone can vote, you just have to click on the anonymous option on the reply. :D Thank you so much for your lovely review, darling!

brilliant. i love the slow seduction. bad riley, he's going to get a wonderful surprise. looking forward to more

Author's Response: Thanks, honey! I'm glad you're enjoying the pace of the seduction. Who is seducing who is the question, though? *lol* Hee, I don't think Riley is going to think the surprise will be all that wonderful. *giggles* Thanks for your lovely review!

Love this story, can't wait to see Spike's reaction to psycho Riley.

Author's Response: lol, thanks so much, honey. :D

Love it so far. So many possibilities for the next chapter! Riley is definitely in for a surprise. He seems to have some serious mental health problems - or maybe I've been lucky enough to never meet real jerks.

Author's Response: Hee, yes, Riley is in for quite the surprise. ;) To tell you the truth, I've been lucky enough to never have met anyone like I'm painting him, however, I do think there must be some around. Thanks for reviewing!

Congrats on the nomination!!!!! I am soooo drawn to this story! I can't wait until next Wednesday! ~Hugs~

Author's Response: Thank you very much, darling! :D It makes me so happy to know you're enjoying the story as much. :D

Love this story! I'm not very good at being a critic, so just let your muse flow!

Author's Response: Hee, thanks for reviewing, darling! I'm trying to do just that. ;)

The nomination is well deserved sweety, you're doing an amazing job. I still don't have a favorite chapter, I like them all equally... well, I'm sure once we get to some spuffy luvin, that might change, *giggles*. I feel very priveleged to be helping you out with this darling. Kudos on another brilliant chapter.

Author's Response: Awww, you're too sweet to me, honey! And you know it wouldn't be half as good without your help. *smooches*
