Wonder when she'll figure it out. Shame on him for scaring her like that... though I imagine it stands to make the sex even better. :)

Author's Response: Well yes, shame on him, but it was Lorne's idea, so shame on Lorne. THe adrenaline pump coupled with his good looks is what Lorne was counting on. Thanks for the review hon - kisses.

Off to read next chapter :)

Author's Response: That's great, I hope you continue enjoying it sweety. Thanks so much. Huggles.

OMG! That was amazing. I loved the slow build, completely unrushed. Perfect.

Author's Response: Squeeeeeeeeee, so glad you liked it, really. It was my first time writing this kind of scene, thanks so much for the wonderful review.

Hee, good thing I got behind with my reading or it would have been torture to wait for the next chapter. ;) Loved your descriptions, it makes me feel like I'm watching the story, rather than reading it. Very enjoyable first encounter, I'm loving how she is afraid, but can't stop her body's reactions to Spike and how Spike's acting isn't so much acting, as he seems to be incapable to stop thinking of her of something more than just a job. Off to read more!

Author's Response: Cool, glad you can see it in your mind as your reading. Let's me know I'm doing my job. Oh yeah, her body knows what IT wants, lol. Thanks for the review hon, I'm off to check your next one.

Surprised Buffy hasn't put 2 and 2 together and figured this is Lorne's man yet, maybe she's too scared to think right now. Excellent premise. Really love this idea. More please. It's GREAT so far and I know it will only get better!

Author's Response: Yup, she's still a little clueless, and of course it's working to Spike's advantage as well. Glad you enjoy and yes the next chappy promises to be better, just had to build it up first. Thanks for the lovely review hon.

Oooh! Evil cliffie!

Very nice set-up for their first meeting. I'm surprised Buffy hasn't figured it out yet.

Author's Response: I know it is kind of evil, but my purposes are sound indeed, trust me. I loved this idea of a handsome stranger breaking in with the intent of my sexual satisfaction, I mean who wouldn't? It's one of my fantasies for sure. Thanks for reviewing and stay tuned.

Author's Response: I know it is kind of evil, but my purposes are sound indeed, trust me. I loved this idea of a handsome stranger breaking in with the intent of my sexual satisfaction, I mean who wouldn't? It's one of my fantasies for sure. Thanks for reviewing and stay tuned.

Whoa! Element of surprise indeed, that was a quite a unique way for Buffy to receive the 'package' she ordered. I really hope Spike comes clean about who he is, personally I think terrifying Buffy like that is kinda mean. Can't wait to find out what happens next! Good update.

Author's Response: Wouldn't be any fun to just have him show up and ring a doorbell right? Sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind. Don't worry, this is spuffy, all be well soon enough...especially for her. THanks for the review sweety.

wat the hell. he's kinda scaring her. i really hoep taht in the next chapter when she finds out who he is and that hes not a robber or rapist tha6t she wont be upset about his actions. i love this story and am happy u updated. i think its so sweet that spiek wants to kiss her and i hope that he isnt acting with her and that she comes to like him as well. please update as soon as u can, cant wait to read more and see wat happens next. thanx

Author's Response: Again, gotta be cruel to be kind and Lorne has a lot to do with this as well. Not to worry, this is spuffy after all. Yup, Spike is having a bit of a time, trying to be strictly professional. Guess we'll just have to see how well he succeeds in the next chapter - Tina laughs a little evilly. Stick around sweety, you won't be dissappointed.

Spike is really evil for making Buffy scared of him. Hope you update soon, because leaving it there is just as evil! LOL! Good chapter, enjoyed reading it.

Author's Response: Thanks for the great review and glad you liked it. It is evil of Spike I realize, but also bare in mind that Lorne 'runs' the business and therefore has the authority to give direction as to its conduct. You'll better understand once I post the next chpater, promise. Thanks for sticking with mne and be on the lookout for the next chappy hon.

Yep you're evil :-P hehe, in all seriousness you are great at building this up and write some good cliff hangers. Still enjoying this story and looking forward to the update.

Author's Response: Yeah, guess I am huh? But thanks really, for understanding the build-up and appreciating it for its purpose. I won't abuse the use of cliff-hangers promise, just had to 'get us there' so to speak. Thanks for the lovely review hon.

Update I say,update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response: LMAF, I'm working on it currently. Gotta get this one tweaked juuuust right. Wouldn't do good to get everyone riled up then have a quickie, tee hee. Stay tuned, you'll get what you've been waiting for next chapter. Thanks for the reivew and making me laugh.

What a meeting, indeed! Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Unique-ness is my middle name. I'm trying to accomplish a "not a dull moment" type of fic. Hopefully it will keep everyone happy. Thanks for the nice review sweety.

The element of surprise and the chapter title? I have an inkling when the 'package' or how it will arrive *gg* *reads on* Buffy is a painter too? But she really wasn't impressed by her own work; so she paints only for fun. ~ Hehe for now Spike got a free show :) Spike is now in the chair in Buffy's room? Like the picture I saw recently *g* Loved Spike's acting in this chapter. So because Buffy ordered 'surprise' she gets a burglar aka Spike. I hope Buffy won't try to kill eh.. hurt him because she thinks he is a criminal *grins*

Author's Response: Hey lady, you'll have to forgive me. I know the title wasn't my best or very original. I had to post this chapter asap so I could get out the door and leave for NY, and was stumped for a title, thus the dead giveaway. Yeah, Buffy didn't order anything specific so it was Lorne and the 'vibes' he got from her that dictated what he told Spike to do. It really wouldn't be very much fun if he just showed up and said here I am, plus who hasn't entertained the idea of this happeneing to them? Thanks for the review sweety. I'm dealing with dial-up here at my dad's - oh the horror - so once I'm settled in, I'll try to do some LJ.
