hope all the secrets are coming out soon. Angel and Spike are half brothers, aren't they? And Buffy is going to find out why Spike was such a bloody sexaholic at the beginning. Because he was always competing with Angel. You write an Angel I love to hate. Please make with the exposition of Spike's history for Buffy soon.

Author's Response: Each secret will actually pour out slowly one by one, but that's only b/c the it's all in my muses masterplan of timing, *winks*. Glad you enjoy my evil Angelus, hee hee, he is fun to write i have to admit. Thanks for the review darling - snuggles you tight.

Oh this chapter was great! There was too spuffyness...the tender kiss on the hand OMG *faints*
Stupid Angel curses to him! But it wouldn't be Murphy's law if something didn't go wrong! Sotia's manip was amazing so congrats to her. I think u spelt Buble` (it was spelt Bubble) wrong but I also took it as Cordy being Cordy. Wasn't sure who it was until I recognised the name of the song.
But honey this story is AMAZING and I am so glad I clicked myself in for the ride. Can't wait to read whats next and I hope RL starts treating you right!

Author's Response: YAY - glad you liked the hand kissage - I couldn't resist. And omg - I had a funny feeling I spelt Buble wrong, but ya know - it works either way, whether cordy says it wrong for humors Thanks for the totally awesome review and of course the RL well wishes... sometimes life just gets busy - ughh. I'll try and update as soon as I can darling - again, thanks so much for the review - hugs.

First off thanks for Willy and Cordy. Love them together, but now wonder who Willy thinks would be better for Cordy.

Angel's a jerk , period.

The manip is beautiful. Love it.

Hope Buffy doesn't let Angel cause too much angst.

Author's Response: Hahahhaahha, glad you liked the chappy and pic, and of course that I wrote angleus evil enough for you to hate. It means I did my job well, giggles. Thanks for the fab review boo - smooches to you.

Angel, true to form, is messing things up for Buffy and Spike. Now Buffy is back to her original question about whether she can trust Spike! Can't wait until the next update!

Author's Response: Indeed he is, indeed he is, evil as always. Thanks for the review sweety - I do hope to update this weekend - hugs.

Can I kill Angel now? Getting in the way of Spuffy love is a no-no or should be. I just hate how he managed to prey on Buffy's vulnerabilities and make her doubt of Spike, although knowing her it wasn't all that difficult, was it? Loved the way you ended it, it makes a whole more sense and of course loved the rest of the chapter, the descriptions of Buffy and Spike, the hotel, the wonderful manip Sotia made, it was all gorgeous. I'm looking forward to more! *snuggles* Love you, sweetie!

Author's Response: LOL - go ahead, kill him, I think everyone wants to, hee hee. He really is an evil bastard but soooooooo fun to write that way - as YOU well know my friend, *winks*. Thanks for all your help on this boo and for the beta before you left for your little getaway - it meant alot to me. Luv you mi hermana.

Ok, first of all, i read the chapter title and got a little too excited. Second of all...HE NOTICED THAT SHE PAINTED HER NAILS TO MATCH THE DRESS. *dies* Then..."everything's fine now" made me tear up! Because she looooves him and Spike's there to make her feel better! And I freaking love Cordy. (By the way, I'm logging my reading experience as I read if you haven't noticed. haha!) And why is Angel such a cock sucker? Such a slimy, slithering manipulative prick!! But oh, how he helps a story, dammit! *giggles* And you're evil, because after reading this, I saw nothing explicit!!! *pouty* Ok, ok, I'll patiently await your next installment because you're like freaking crack and I can't get enough of it. Good work, Sotia! That manip rocks and they are so cute!! And I heart you Tina but if you make Buffy freak out and believe Angel I might never speak to you again. And by not speaking to you again, I just mean the regular lull in conversation that happens between updates, haha! MORE PLEASE!!

Author's Response: LMFAO... yup, he 'actually' noticed her toenails. Of course when you're really into someone during the courting process, those small things are noticeable - give SPike a few years with her and he won't notice a haircut, LMAO. And awwwwwww, glad I could touch the cockles of your heart with Buffy's admission of everything is fine now - even if the ending of the chappy suggests otherwise - eeeep! YAY - so glad you like Cordy and of course hate Angelus... I've always enjoyed writing him as the evil prick, hahahahahhaaha. Sorry about the non-explicitnes, but really, the intentions were explicit in the sense of Angel's towards Spike and Spike's towards Buffy. Talk about me being crack, LMAO - I'm anxiously awaiting for you to update too my dear - smooches. You're idle threats will do nothing to sway my muse, *inserts evil laughter here* - but of course alls wel that ends well, *wink-wink* - you'll see. Love ya babes and thanks for the awesome review.

:) Spike sure thought that waiting for Buffy was worth it, the way she looked.
Willy... wonder whom he has in mind for Cordelia. Angel? Maybe then he would stop hunting Buffy.
Stunning dress :) And Grrr to Angelus. Now Buffy has doubts again. Hopefully Spike can convince her he really wants her and wants to keep her.
Take care till next time.

Author's Response: Hahahaha, just wait and see the shocker of who Willy has in mind for Cordy - an unikely match but for the right reasons, *winks*. Yeah, Angel's an ass, but its so fun to write him that way and he does provide the right amount of angst. Glad you enjoyed the update hon and I'll try and set things right within next chapter. THanks for the review hon - huggles.

wonderful update, nasty angel....and horrid liam..cookies for the muse and more please

Author's Response: Hahahahahahhahaha, thank you boo. Hopefully I'll be able to post this weekend. Hugs you tight and wishes for more DSotH.

Cordelia having Spike's number is a delight. He's a romantic little thing, isn't he? It's charming.

This made me laugh out loud: “Have to admit though… I kinda like this position. You. Grindin’ your heel into my chest. Kinky an-OUCH-okay-alright, I’ll stop.” Of course Buffy would take direction a little too well. I also love that it led to “S’pose `m young enough that you can train me to your likin’.” Whee! The flirting and shy smiles are reaching critical mass.

Finally broaching the subject of a relationship was a huge step, even if it left Spike confused. Buffy's obviously come to a decision, and I can't imagine a better time to bring this relationship to a new level. Formal wear and dancing are an excellent way to ramp up the sexual tension. I'm looking forward to it.

Author's Response: Hehehehehe, glad you enjoyed the little comedic moments - I love including humor as a way of keeping things light. Indeed emotions are starting to run high between our couple and Buffy took a brave step in having that conversation with Spike. You can bet, despite Spike's confusion, he's determined to make the ball a night to remember, *winks*. Thank you so much for the awesome review sweety - huggles and kisses.

Finally we're getting somewhere ;) *I'm not complaining* That was so sweet, the "I don't need to pretend” part and sleeping together :) *now I'm off to next chapter*

Author's Response: LOL - indeed they're getting somewhere now. GLad you liked the sweetness at the end boo and thanks for the review - smooche to you.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I LOVE DETERMINED SPIKE!!!! *does happy dance twirling round and round till she's dizzy*

God, I never know what to put in my reviews on ML; all your chapters are so full of funny parts and deep parts and hot parts and GAH! You're amazing boo!!! You managed to take a playboy and gradually put a soul in him never once letting the story become anything less than believable. You managed to take a woman that's obviously been hurt and let her open up bit by bit, and become more accepting of the fact she just may need someone... may need Spike. I bow to you my boo! Love you!!! *smooches*

Author's Response: Hahahahahaha, so do I. Love when he gets something in his head and just goes for it. Awwwww, you're so sweet to me boo with the compliments and of course your fics hold lots and lots of humor, MAJOR hotness and I've a feeling in MBWP, we're gonna see some deep emotional parts soon - can't wait for that darling. It's funny how I took a playboy Spike and made him into a man and you've taken a dormant spike beneath Will and made him come forward, hehheehehehhhe. Lve you my darling sister - big hugs and kisses boo.

Aww. He's fallen so hard, so fast, as has she. Looking forward to the intense Spuffyness! They're going to spontaneously combust if they have to wait much longer. As will I. ;) So fantastic! *hugs*

Author's Response: Indeed they have, now for them to get their act together and 'get-together', lol. But soon, I promise, *winks* - can't have them exploding from the UST, lol.. So glad you enjoyed the update my friend, thanks for the fab review - huggles you tight.
