I'm glad they made up.

I thought I had left you a review, but I can't find it.... I remember reading this chapter anyway ;) I just loved it!
Buffy is so jealous ;) when will she realize??

Author's Response: Oh that's alright hon - I'm not sure, but I think that's been happening with a lot of reviewers, they simply disappear, huh. LOL - it'll take awhile for Buffy to come around, but then again, the same goes for Spike... it makes the spuffiness all the sweeter in the end, I promise. Thanks for the review boo - hugs you tight.

Spike's proprietary insistence that Buffy change her outfit was outrageous, and then grabbing her and not letting her leave the apartment? Wow. His idea of wooing is completely caveman. Buffy is responding despite herself, but if he'd exhibit a little subtlety, it might happen sooner . Instead, he's continuously pushing the wrong buttons. It's very entertaining to watch him throwing himself at her.

The fight was entertaining and erotic, though Spike's attraction to her anger and venom was a little disturbing. I'm sure he'll be facing more of that, so I guess it's good that it's an aphrodisiac. Oh, who am I kidding, anything that Buffy does turns him on. Thanks for another entertaining chapter of this rich, funny story.

Author's Response: HAHAHHAHA, indeed he is a rogue with not a clue. And yes, anything Buffy does turns him on - not just her being mad, giggles. Glad you enjoyed the chappy boo - thanks for the review - hugs.

I can't believe how childish the two of them were acting. Spike has to make some adjustments on his belief that Buffy is a piece of meat and Buffy has to realise that all men aren't like her ex. Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Giggles - but that's their character and attitudes right now. They'll both learn as they go - no doubts there, it just takes awhile, *winks*. Thanks for the fab review hon - huggles.

Loved how you fit the Spuffy sparring/fighting from the show seamlessly into this chapter. Bravo! And this:

“You fight almost as well as a man, pet.”

“That’s funny.” She aimed her shin at his side, satisfied she landed the blow though he braced for it properly. “I was just about to say the same to you.”

Bwahahahahahahahaha! :-D

Author's Response: YAY, I'm thriled you enjoyed the rough and tumble scene - I couldn't resist, it held so much opportunity while writing it. Giggles - glad you like that fight comment - couldn't help myself. THanks for the review sweety - hugs you tight.

OMG! That fight was fantastic. Loved every minute of this chapter. It's hysterical that neither of them has any clue just how hard they're falling. I love it!

Author's Response: YAY - I'm so glad you liked the fight scene. I just had to write it, it held so much promise for other things - like the dirty lil nasties he whispered, shudders, I would have melted right there. And yup - they're as clueless as they can be at this point, hee hee - that's the other half of the fun, *winks*. THanks for the great review darling - hugs and kisses.

Loved it all I can't wait to see what happens if Buffy tries to bring someone in.

Author's Response: Giggles, and ya know - she won't even be doing it to get back at Spike, that's the funny thing - but of course Spike won't like it anyway, hahahhhaha, evil, I know. THanks for the fab review sweets - snuggles.

I couldn't paste ALL the parts I loved here, cuz then I'd have to paste the entire update :P So the following will have to suffice:

“My problem `s that you don’ listen too good. You need to put somethin’ decent on.” Well there was a first! He never thought he’d hear himself say that to a girl.---- I loved his protective tendencies towards her, even if they only stemmed out of jealousy.

“Squirrelly li’l thing, aren’ ya?” If he could work a bottle of oil into this scenario it’d be a bloody fantasy come true.----Tehehehehehe, LOVED this!!!

He didn’t know what had her so mad with him but she wore it well. If he ever figured it out, he vowed to do it again.----NOOOOO, don't do it again, stupid man! LMAO, Tina you're bloody brilliant you know!

She could have walked in on God knows what and been blinded for life.----ROFL, yeaaaah, cuz that's what her problem was!

She hated the way Spike had left her feeling almost… ‘dirty’ with the way he came on to her. Grinding his erection against her, making her body burn hot against its will, how he made those nasty things he’d purred in her ear sound so good, the way he pleaded for her to stay with a husky-voiced promise of pure pleasure. She shivered at the mere thought. As much as she didn’t want to think about it, she was fairly positive he was capable of delivering that promise… and then some.---- Since Buffy doesn't want him to deliver, can he deliver to me, Mistress Tina? Please??? *bats eyelashes* I'll return him when I'm done, it won't be more than 30-40 yrs, promise!!!

I’d bloody well kill the bastard, rip his fuc… He stopped himself mid-thought, had to remember… she wasn’t his.---- Awwww, she IS his! He just has to clean up his act, the idiot! And riping a head or two would be nice. Especially if he did like NOW, or soon, anyway!

He got up to stand right behind her, placing his hands gently on both her shoulders. “`S okay,” he whispered in her ear. “Lie to me all you want, kitten. In my eyes, she’s doesn’ hold a candle to you.” Kissing her chastely on the temple, he left her with that thought.---- That infuriatingy perceptive, amazingly HOT man! Your Buffy is a fucking SAINT, I'd have jumped him there and then... of course I'd have jumped him ages ago, but that's just me :-P

Amazing update, can't wait to see how they make up, although I could live without them meeting anyone else... I wonder who those... 'elses' will be *looks innocent*

Love you lots!!!

Author's Response: OMG - so I take it you liked it? ROFL. Yeah, I went for the laugh a minute especially with the fight - and throwing in those husky voiced promises - oh yeah, baby. THa's Spike, bad to the bone. I like that wrote that he was a hot infuriating and perceptive man. Makes ya all angry and wanton at the same time - damn him, lol. THanks for all your help boo, luv you to pieces.

Misunderstandings between the sexes - you brought the problems involved there across beautifully! Loved how she really doesn't realise that she actually is jealous, and that shes totally enticing him with the way she's dressing - the workout outfit. I could totally see his tounge down to his knees : ). She seems totally clueless sometimes - like in the hottub with the sexual innuendo (by the way - feel free to put Mr. Giles in there again - because wet, dripping Spike - yum!).
You are evil for promising more jealousy and hotness - in the next chapter. As always, looking forward to it!

Author's Response: Thank you sweety, I did try to bring it out in character style, the frustrations between them both. Buffy is as clueless as they come in almost everything she does. Hee hee, a wet SPike is always a sexy Spike - you can count on another hot tub scene *winks*. Yeah, I do have to have some more jeaousy in the future, but of course it all serves a purpose, I promise. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the update hon and thanks so much for the review. Smoochies.

He really will never give up will he? Thank god! lol! Loved this update, I was half way reading it when i realised i hadn't read the last chapter, I really need to get a personal assistant to tell me when this is updated! Oh, and never trust my email to tell me when it's up! lol! Love the fight scene as well, very sexy, and I'm sorry this review is all over the place, but i keep remembering new things! lol! Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Nope, not for a minute, he has his crosshairs on her for sure. Glad you enjoyed the fight scene - I couldn't help it, it held so much promise of anger and hotness, hee hee. I'm glad you liked the chapter and got caught up as well darling - yeah, the emails on updates have been coming in rather slowl as of late. THanks for the fab review - huggles.

Spike is still a giant asshole in this story. Why would Buffy ever go out with shit like him? I don't get it.

Author's Response: Hahahahhahaha, well, thje point is, she wouldn't right now. He's a giant ass that needs a few lessons and you can be sure he'll get them, *winks*. THanks for the review sweety, huggles.

I've just started reading this and I had to just leave you a note to say it's Fabu! Can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response: Oh wow, thank you so much sweety - I truly appreciate that you're enjoying my little creation so much, thank you , thank you. Hugs and kisses.

Spike's getting his come-uppance. Having them deal with UST with the fighting was fabulous. The boy/man is gonna have to learn harsh lessons before he and an unbending Buffy can have a real relationship. I love the ride you're taking us on. Thanks!

Author's Response: Yup - there's always that underlying UST and boy was it magnified during the fight - I had to go there, giggles. Oh yes, he has many more lessons to learn, sad but true - but - will lead to spuffiness in the end, *winks*. GLad you're enjoying the ride darling and thankss o much for the great review... kisses.
