Okay, first of all I have to say I read Ashlee's 'Criminal Games' and was worried when I started reading yours that I'd already read it and hated that fact because I was really enjoying it and then!!! It's not the same story! Yay! (Of course it would have helped if I'fd read your note first, but...) Anyway, I love this story and the sexual tension (and other tension) is so perfect so far. Gonna keep reading now. Thank you for posting this one. :-)

Author's Response: Thanks. It's always nice to hear from someone new! Especially since you are just picking it up. And the resemblance to Criminal Games fades pretty fast - although the set up is similar. Hope you enjoy!

So Buffy convinced Giles she had to go. *gg* And at moment it turns out to be like a vacation :) As far as now Spike isn't busted of doing something illegal. Looking forward to the next part :)

keep up the good work
