I'm a weekend fanfic reader and got lucky enough to read Chappie 7 & 8 today. Things are definitely heating up with the hot tubbing/opening up and the upcoming trip. I love your work!

Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much hon. I may switch to Sundays for posting since most folks don't seem to have a preference, only a couple said they'd like Mondays. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story hon and thank you so very much for the great review. Huggles.

He leaned a shoulder against the door jamb and slid his hands inside his pockets. “If memory serves me, lunch is `bout takin’ a break from work.”

“Not from work. From you.”

*sigh*

You just write Buffy so beautifully... I'm so very, VERY picky about how people write her. But, I can always count on you and Holly to stay true 100%.!

And you're write, this Spike is an ASSHOLE!! I love it! :D

Author's Response: YAY, what a compliment, thank you sweetheart. I do try to retain their canon personalities as much as possible. And of course I love writing Spke as an asshole - call it a sickness, hee hee. I'm thrilled you're enjoying the story hon, very much so and thank you so much for the great review. Hugs you tight.

ROFLMAO!!! The scene at the restaurant was priceless, reminded me of the Three Stooges or something slap sticky like that! Hahahhahah! Oooo and naughty Spike, going through her things like that, tsk tsk...all for a good cause I'm sure. Oh I can't wait til you update again. How about Mondays? Gives me something to look forward to when I come home from work! And I'm just waiting for Spike to go all caveman on Buffy and knock her up side the head with a club saying 'Buffy Mine...Ugg!' hehehehe.

Author's Response: Hahhaaaah, it was rather a bit classic huh? But of course no less hilarious due both men's actions. LMAO - that would be funny, clubbing Buffy and dragging her of caveman style. I gues I'm having more votes for whenever and a couple of Mondays or Sundays, but regardless, I'll update regularly - that I promise - smooches to you my sista and thanks for the review.

OMG Tina the restaurant scene with the fire's was just too much! i'm still laughing from thinking about it. I loved that Spike keeps thinking of her as his girl, it would be cool if Buffy got a taste of the same jealousy pill though, just to even things out. Til next time, ciao.


Author's Response: Hahahhaha, glad you liked it - I couldn't resist such a comical moment brought on by both men. Ah yes, Spike does keep thinking of her as his girl, whether he likes it or not, giggles. As for the jealousy pill for Buffy - it's coming, trust me, *winks*. GLad you enjoyed the chapter hon and thanks for the awesome review. Huggles.

Oh god... I think Spike signed his death-certificate with this stunt :)! Don't think so Buffy likes it so much when someone is going through her things. Hehe.. I love to see her face when she sees her underwear.
And the scar on her wrist.. hope its not that what I'm thinking of. I really hope it was an accident.

So.. I'm looking forward your update.. doesn't matter for me when..!

Author's Response: Oh yes, he'll be in deep s**t for sure, but I think you'll enjoy their business trip nonetheless, *winks* - I've a few tricks up my sleeve, hee hee. ANd the scar on her wrist is just that, a puppy bit her when she was little - I was merely borrowing some BTVS Parker lines to forward their conversation at the restaurant. THanks for the fab review darling - smoochies to you.

I was so excited to find this updated this afternoon. As to updates, the sooner the better works for me! lol This is one of my favorite stories at the moment! Loved the imagery in the lunch scene....naughty Spike changing Buffy's things. Can't wait to see what she does! Have a great week!

Author's Response: Hahahahha, the sooner the better huh? I suppose Iplanned them to be a week apart to give me time to polish the chapters I've written - give me the time to do so rather. I'm so pleased though you're enjoying my little story, thank you so much darling - hugs. Yup, Spike certainly is a bad boy - God love him, hee hee.

this is one of my fave stories right now! i don't really have a preference of when you update. ASAP i guess:)

Author's Response: Gotcha - if you have no preference that's fine with me sweety - I'm just glad you're enjoying it - thanks so much - smooches.

Spike's baser desire just to seduce and abandon Buffy are evolving naturally. There were still flashes of his crasser self in the sexual talk and leering, but Buffy's reacting to his softer side. Here's hoping he realizes it and lightens up on the inappropriate innuendo and grab and kiss behavior.

I love that he's a virgin to a real relationship, and his response to just sleeping with Buffy was delightful. Buffy, too, is disconcerted to find herself warming to Spike. Her confusion at the pleasantness of sleeping with him gave me a grin. They're both doomed!

I laughed out loud at Buffy's response to “So tell me, Buffy. Are you into fellatio?” I'm surprised Spike didn't spit out a mouthful of wine at her "I could eat."

Thanks for another delightful chapter. I'm sure the tension will ramp up once they're at the office, but this was a nice break in the bickering.

Author's Response: Yup, Buffy is definitely reacting to her motherly instincts, well, except when she was drunk, giggles.
And oh yes, their reactions to sleeping together were quite unecpected for both of them - frekaing them out in their own way, lol. And of course drunken Buffy is always fun to write with the misinterpretations, LOL. Glad you enjoyed the break fromth ebater and of course Mondy will bring back some of that, *winks*. Thanks for the swesome review darling - higgles.

I loved it

Author's Response: Yay, glad you hon, thanks for the reivew. Kisses.

OH is she starting to warm up to him.

Author's Response: Just a weeeeeeeeeeee bit, giggles. Thanks for the rewview sweets - hugs.

So many awesome parts to this chapter, it's impossible to name them all! The Vicks chest massage, the fellatio/cunnilingus conversation, Buffy overhearing Spike's bout of self-love, Spike being a big baby and Buffy enjoying nursing him back to health...OMG, it's all so sexy and funny and BRILLIANT!

Author's Response: YAY, glad you enjoyed all aspects to the chapter - I had to have some fun other than the bickering, a little break if you will, hee hee. But of course things will go back to normal - for some more fun bantering - you know it has to happen, *winks*. GLad you really enjoyed their weekend hon - thanks for the awesome review. Hugs you tight.

A business trip? Oh, she's gonna *love* that!

That weekend was all so classic, but you still make it so enjoyable. They're both softening....

Author's Response: HEHEHEHEHEH, indeed. GLad the weekend, though classic, was enjoyable for you - thanks for the great review hon, huggles.

Can't wait to see everything blow up!!!

Author's Response: OHhhhhh, and it wil, just you watch, *winks*. THanks for the review hon - hugs you tight.
