HAHA! Spike got a dose of his own medicine! and the poor baby is afraid of needles?? how embarassing! and to have to take it in the ass? HAHA!! (i think that sounded dirty.) i love how Buffy turned his own shit back on him and turned him into a quivering puddle. but she better be sure to watch what she says. cuz we both know that Spike will give well more than he gets. and he does it so wellllll. i would suggest that she get a bloody padlocked chastity belt in the meantime if she's gonna go up against him! cuz he plays dirty so good! :)

Author's Response: Giggles, he really did deserve to get it in the ass, didn't he? I've done that many a time to many an ass working in the ER and have to say - if they weren't nice people to begin with, I did get a little sadistic satisfaction from it, hee hee. Buffy was treading on thin ice for sure, but she knew she was safe in her envirnment to do so, giggles. Glad you enjoyed the chappy hon - thanks for the review. Kisses.

*ahem* okay my turn!!!!! Hun I absolutely adore this fic and I lu-lu-lu-lu-luv workin' with you, even into the wee hours of the night, LOL!!! 'Cause well, theat's when we get the best lines out ;)

Kuddos as always and can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Giggles, the wee hours of the night when we're loopy and laughing our heads off seems to be the magic hour huh? I so love doing it too. Thanks hon, for everything... and guess what. We're going to meet JM, LMFAO.

It's obvious that they're developing feelings for each other, but I'm glad you don't have them instantly fall in love. So much more fun that way. And uh the lusty sex is way hot too. Srsly, loved the PR0N and all the USTY banter. Quintessential Spuffy for ya - making each other's lives a living hell one insult at a time. Yay!

And LOL, what is he a chubby chaser? I mean, geeze, what's the big deal about a few lost pounds anyway? Plus, formerly being married to Drusilla, I would think he wouldn't mind the skin and bones type.


Author's Response: They are developing feelings, but its slowly and of course they don't see it as such. They just love to hate eachother for now, but as time goes on, well, it's inevitably spuffy, lol. Nope, no falling in love right away - would totally be out of place at this point in the story, so I'm glad you see that. Let the insults abound. Nah, he's not a chubby chaser, Buffy was just too skinny - bony looking butt. He just likes something to grab onto rather than bones - probably why he's glad he's not married to Dru anymore? Hee hee. Thanks for the awesome review hon, smooches.

OMG!!! I love this story, and i want more! Please update as soon as humanly possible k? lol. I really like how this story is going. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Author's Response: Grins - I'm so glad you like it sweety. I promise to update asap, I just have a lot on my plate right now - poo-ey on RL stuff interfereing with my writing time. Thanks for the lovely review hon, hugs.

And again, my review from yesterday:
Ah sorry, I have so much fun reading I get a bit distracted.
So Buffy isn't on best terms with Spike because he left, that's clear *g*. Totally understandable. Good to see that Spike is still yearning for her. Buffy would feel better if she knew this. A bit of revenge, huh? :)
Oh indeed *grins* This battle was won by Buffy with a little (but only a little help of a not so little syringe. Loved the update (and the hot UST).



Author's Response: Awww, thank you hon. Yup, I read this just a bit ago - I've been terrible about answering reviews this week, but well, there's a lot on my plate these days. I am thrilled you enjoyed the story hon, thanks again my friend. Smoochies to you.

I'm so sorry for not reviewing the earlier chapters of this great story!! It really doesn't mean that I don't like it, because I really do :). I've just been in some kind of funk lately (propably due to a cruel winter we are having and me feeling like I would rather be like a bear and sleep through the -30 degrees celcius days and wake up in the spring...).
Spike is definitely an ass in this story, but I kind of like him that way *giggles*...I'm just very glad that Buffy is giving him a hard time (in more ways than one too...) This chapter was so hilarious! It was way funny when Spike thought that Buffy was going to jump his bones and got so hot and bothered, only to be left hanging... I can't wait for his "retaliation" and how Buffy fights back! It's going to be a dirty, dirty war...*hmmm, kinky...*giggles*... Keep up the great work sweetie, hugs and kisses to you and your muse!

Author's Response: Awww, that's okay. I'm just glad to entertain you and that you have enjoyed the story so far. Ah yes, I understand cruel winters having grown up in rural upstate NY with the lake effect snow and all. Winter blues can cause quite a funk but I do hope you beat the blues. I'm thrilled you liked the laughs in this chapter... Spike may have a bit of revenge, but it won't be right away - that's all I can say for right now, sorry. He's an ass in this story - a dumb ass but he'll learn eventually. Thanks for the awesome review hon - you made my day. Hugs.

I hope so that it will be funny ... and hot. *grin* Buffy was such a naughty girl and such a bad girl. Knowing exactly how much fear he has for needles and coming with such a big one... But the view she had to have been veeeeeeeeeeerrrry good.

Wish you a wonderful week, too, Smooch. Caro

Author's Response: Giggles - indeed the view was most delicious, even if his behavior was a bit, ahem, ass-inined (probably didn't spell that correctly). Glad you liked it hon and thanks for the review. hugs and kisses.

Gotta say that was a fun reunion! Spike sure has an interesting way of wooing a lady... lol! He so deserved everything Buffy dished at him. I enjoyed reading the differing POV'S Spike and Buffy had throughout the chapter. :D Fantastic update!

Author's Response: Hee hee, doesn't he? It is time for Spike to pay for his behavior on the road to spuffy luvin. Thank you so much for the review sweety.. glad you liked the chappy.

OMG...funny...loved it, really enjoy their banter...Spike when will you ever learn, poor Buffy, but hey gotta love all that cock and swagger!!
Something tells me he will get even with her, oh I cant wait...you have done so many updates IBE, I feel a bit guilty nagging for more but what the hell.PLEASE update this fic soon its everyones fav:)

Author's Response: Hee hee, Spike is thick headed isn't he? And of course the cock and swagger is delicious, even if it's a bit misguided. Spike getting even??? Perhaps, but not right away, *winks*. I will definetely try to update soon, just super busy with RL these days. I swear I'm in need of a serious vacation, lol. Thanks for the review sweets, hugs you tight.

I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE THIS UPDATE , I CHECKED ALL WKEND FOR IT, AND IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT. HE WAS BEING SUCH A JERK, THO, I WANTED TO SMACK TOO. LOVE THE BANTER, CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE.

Author's Response: giggles, it's good that you want to smack Spike up too - I'm aiming to paint him as the jerk of the century, at least for now. Thanks for the review sweetheart, hugs.

LoL!! I liked the stabbing him in the butt as payback and the telling himself to take care of his problem. Gawd he's a prick

Author's Response: LMAO - oh yeah, he's a prick in this one, but I'm having sooooooooooo much fun writing him like this, hee hee. Thanks for the review sweety.

Love this stoy and how you moved it from basic training to her 1st job - can't wait to see what happens next - Please write more soon! Thanks

Author's Response: I'm very happy to see you like the transition, and it is something that is completely possible in the Army world, and of course Buffy can't resist putting Spike in his place now that he's back in her life and acting like an ass, giggles. Thanks for the review darling, hugs.
