It's a bloody shame you didn't explore that little scene in the bathroom a bit further. . . gah! The possibilities are endless.

Bigger apartment sounds good; they still have a lot of time to get to know each other better.
Shaving slave, huh? For now it would make the temptation bigger *gg*
And I would call try Sushi if you don't like whipped indeed. But turns out Spike liked it *g* (I didn't knew that there is cooked Sushi too. Never tried it *raw fish* ah well, I understand Spike.) ~ Good to see the update, that you feel better now.

Author's Response: Ah, yes...know all about sushi. Worked in a sushi bar for months and months and more months. I came home smelling like fish and covered in soy sauce every night. Blech! And thanks for the well wishes...helped the sickies leave me a little faster. ; - )

Buffy is innocent and all, but with Spike around, I am sure things will spice up quickly!!!

Loved Spike's naughty banter, and Buffy's reacton to it. Great update! :D

love it more please.

I really like the contrast between Spike and Buffy in the area of all things intimate. Even though Spike has plenty of sexual experience, love is a whole new territory for him and I really like seeing him experience it together with Buffy. She would never criticize him for being new in that field like a woman of experience would and they both can teach each other what it is like to feel "in love".

The innuendo's and naughty talk is just too cute and I suspect that Spike enjoys seeing Buffy's reactions to his "bad boy" persona.

Am really enjoying reading this new path they are both on. Thanks for the update.

I just realized that my last review could have come across badly. I didn't mean it in a negative way. I was just surprised, made me want to say to Spike, "Get a grip man!!" lol, that's all.

As for this chapter, Buffy's naivete with all things sexual is pretty amusing. And I'm glad Spike is going slow with her, in the long run, it'll be better for both of them.

And they're right, anyone who can just sit back and watch someone beat their own child is as bad, if not worse, than the parent doing the beating. Can't wait to see how they end up later on. ;)

Really good chapter. =)

Author's Response: No, no...your review was great. No worries, yeah? I really enjoy responses that make me go, "hmm...she/he has a point there." And Spike *did* over-react, so it's not like you were nit-picking. Many thanks for the great review(s), gypsy! ; - )

aww they are so cute together and im so happy that hes so protective of her. i love this story and am so happy that u updated. im so glad that theyre together and that theyre taking it slow, i think it will be better this way. i really hope that everything keeps working out well between them and that theyre happy together. also i hope that hank doesnt find buffy and if he does that spike keesp her protected and she doesnt get hurt. please update as soon as u can, i cant wait to read the next chapter. thanx

AHH! I love those awkward conversations... It reminds me of back when I couldn't say "penis" outloud. Hell, I couldn't even say "tampons" out loud. Whenever I needed my mom to get me anything, I'd be like "I NEED T-A-M-P-O-N-S'es". Gah. Soo glad that stage is over and done with. Cock, Cock, Cock. No blushing at all!

Haha, and now I just had this image of dirty-talking Buffy whispering in Spike's ear... "I want your you know in my you know..." Funny. Great update!

ohhh what a cute chapter. i love that he is so naughty when she is so innocent. this story keeps getting better and better with the more chapters. i love ur writing and cant wait to see what happens next. thank you for writing.
