Previously….

Lily asked so quietly, “Who are you?”

“The name’s Spike luv.”

*^*^*^*^*

Chapter 2

Spike? She thought. What kind of a name is that? But that accent was making her melt. God, a British accent, the one thing she couldn’t resist. So instead of asking questions, they just kept dancing. Another song started to play, a great song; 11:11 by In This Moment. A lot of the people left the dance floor but Lily and Spike were among 5 other couples still dancing.

He spun her around so he could get a more intimate look of her face. She was bloody gorgeous; lovely blue eyes that he could just swim in and her heart was so calm.
It fluttered like a butterfly’s wing beat; smooth and light.
If he didn’t have a chip in his head he would bite her in an instant… if he could. He would do things to that sweet, innocent body that would have her begging for mercy… in more ways than one.

“You new to town luv?” Spike asked. Looking into that ethereal face.

“Yes actually, I just got dropped off at the bus stop. I’m really new to town; I just ended up here by accident… I followed the crowd.”

“Well then, it’s my lucky day that the crowd brought you in pet.”

Lily was getting nervous; she was worried about leading him on. Not that she wasn’t interested but she’d never had sex before… of any kind. And she needed to be cautious since her demon loved to prowl with danger.
Even though she was staring into such innocent eyes… she knew what he was and what he was capable of.

“So pet, you wanna go somewhere a little more private?” The way he said was making her shutter with lust. It was making her wet… soaking actually. Spike caught the scent right away.

“I… I really….”

“Really what pet?” He was gliding his hands down her back and pulling her against him. Grinding his bulge against her, making his arousal notch up to one to ten which made her a little nervous.

“I really… need a bed… m-my bed.”

“Great… where to pet?” He smirked so cocky. He grinded a little slower… gives her time to finally say something.

“I mean… I need some sleep. It was a long ride and I don’t have the energy to entertain tonight.” She saw him just smile at her, not real angry but disappointed.

“Sure pet… I understand.” He just let her go and he started walking out. She had… no wanted to go after him. So she followed.
He had to adjust himself… man he was regretting that move. Here come the blue balls… bloody hell.

Just as his night seemed to be becoming bleak… he heard someone sprinting behind him.

“Wait!” She yelled. He stopped and turned slowly to face her. She was catching her breath before trying to talk.

“How about we get together another time… I’m moving here but I just need a while to get settled. If that’s okay?”

“Sure pet… got digits?” Now things were getting better, he thought.

“What?”

“Do you have a number? That I could call you on?” He laughed.

“Oh… duh. What a ditz I am… silly me.” She grabbed a pen from her pocket and wrote down her number on his palm. Just holding his hand was giving her chills… which he responded to happily.

After she was done, he grabbed her hand and kissed it… so sweetly. GOD this man was going to be trouble.

“So just call me… give me a few days to settle. With that cockney accent of yours, I’ll know who it is.”

“You dissing my accent luv? Because yours is… is… well I don’t what kind it is.”

“Yankee. If that helps any.”

“Not really, but I can find a computer and maybe figure it out.”

“Well, I’m exhausted… I’ll see you later Spike.” She started to walk away, very slowly and quietly.

“Night pet.”

*^*^*^*^*

The next few days were busy. She got to Sunnydale on a Friday night, spent the weekend looking for an apartment or maybe a loft. With the money she had, she could put a good down payment for a few months until she found a job.

A job… that was going to be interesting. She just finished high school and with no prior job experience, it was going to be a hassle finding a job.

But she’ll have a few months to hunt for one until the buckling down really begins.

Prior to her leaving, she had changed her address to Sunnydale, California. But she would have to go pick-up her cellphone bill at the post office until she found a place to live.

She found a nice loft, close to the center of town but also very close to the town cemetery… not one of the highlights of her new digs.

When you walked in, you had the living room/kitchen, more living room than kitchen. The kitchen had a standard fridge, a microwave and an oven with a two ring stove. Perfect for a girl living alone.

Down the hall from the kitchen was the bathroom and of course her bedroom. The bathroom had forest green walls and a palm tree theme, but the shower and tub were huge so that was a bonus. The tub was wide and deep, wonderful for a long soak… with water pressure to die for when it came to the shower.

Her bedroom was decent; of course she didn’t have a bed yet or even a bed frame for that matter.

She’s been sleeping on the floor the last few nights… until she would go house shopping.

Wednesday night… her hunger was getting to her. She needed blood and soon before things would get ugly… before she would get ugly.

She decided to walk around town; maybe getting some fresh air would help. Along the way she saw a butcher shop… perfect, she could get animal blood. Wasn’t exactly what she’s been craving but it would help.

After getting 5 bags of cow blood, she walked out feeling a little calmer but her stomach sure wasn’t. She decided to open one up in the back alley before her stomach would eat itself.

Oh my god, cows blood never smelt so good… but since it was cold it was a bit thick. She had to chew off the tip of the sealed bag but after that… it was bliss.

Thick and kind of gross bliss but once it hit her taste buds she vamped out, not on purpose… it just happens.

She sucked the bag dry pretty quick, and thank god no one noticed her.

“God, I was so hungry.” She exclaimed to herself. Now, she could eat some real food and actually keep it down.

Just as she was heading back to her place, her phone started to ring… it said UNKNOWN. She had a tingle down her spine… it was Spike.

So, she flipped it open and answered, “Hello?”

“Hello pet, I fancied ringing you up. How you been?”

She was hesitant before she answered. “I’ve been good, found myself a place. It’s a loft on Cherry St. near the cemetery. Besides the view of the cemetery it’s perfect.”

“I’ve seen that place, always fancied it myself. Never had the cash to grab it though pet.”

“So… how have you been?”

“Could be better pet… wish I had a lovely lady to share my bed with but I’m coping.”

Lily hesitated on what she wanted to say but decided to brave and just say it. “Would you like some company?

"You could come over and we could talk. I don’t have any furniture but she could hang out on the carpet and talk.”

“Are you inviting a handsome stranger over to your house pet?” She could practically hear the smirk through the phone.

“Yes I am… only if you want. But if you want alcohol you’ll have to bring your own. I’m not legal and I have nothing in fridge yet except ice.”

“Sure pet, give me twenty and I’ll be over.”

Okay then… I’ll see you soon.” She hung up… she almost jumped with joy but she was nervous.

He was very handsome and with her knowing what he was, she had to be careful. She put her mom’s cross necklace around her neck… it didn’t sting since she was only half vampire.

So, she skipped along back home… looking forward to her knew friend coming over.

She didn’t know it but Spike was watching her in the shadows… he didn’t even know her name yet but she was liking this girl. But then trouble strolled up… the Slayer.

“Hey Slayer, got nothing better to do then to mess around with us nasty’s?” He smirked. Curling his tongue behind his teeth.

“Sorry William, I hate to burst your bubble but… wait. No I don’t, I love bursting your bubble.” Buffy was so quirky, she always thought she was clever.

“Well I’d love to stay and chat but I got company waiting in me?” He smiled.

Buffy was surprised. “Really? Who would want your revolting company?”

“A bird I met at the Bronze… she’s new in town and I’m just showing her some hospitality.”

“Okay?.. that’s just strange. She must be out of her mind then letting you anywhere near her without wanting to scream in terror… oh wait, you’re chipped. The Big Bad can’t chase the puppies anymore… poor Spike.” The way she said it was so cruel and bitchy… if he could he’d tear the smirk off her face.

“Shove off Slayer… I got to get myself and the bird a bottle to share.” He tried to walk off but she shoved him.

“I don’t know this girl, but she’s an idiot letting you anywhere near her. You don’t have a soul and you don’t deserve anyone above you.”

“Piss off Slayer.” He shoved her out of the way… it hurt like a bitch but it was worth it.

Spike stopped by Willies and stole a bottle of his best scotch… well aged and never opened until tonight that is.

*^*^*^*^*

Lily was setting up the living room… she laid her large and only blanket on the floor with the few pillows she had for them to sit on or lay against.

She stopped by a cheap grocery store and bought some solo cups… plus some Coke to maybe chase down whatever he might have been bringing.

As she set the cups on the floor with the few cubes of ice she had… she heard a knock.

Her heart started to race… she was excited, scared and happy at the same time.

She quickly checked her clothes… she wore a red blouse with her only pair of clean jeans. She wanted to look nice and casual with just a hint of sexy.

She opened the door to see Spike leaning against the door frame with a bottle in his left hand. He was wearing a tight red t-shirt a long black leather jacket with tight black jeans.

“Hello luv, can I come in?” He asked in a very low and sultry tone.

Lily was going to regret inviting in a vampire but he was the only person she knew in Sunnydale… and she needed someone.

“Of course, won’t you please come in?” Lily smiled, and he walked through the threshold.

Spike was actually nervous; he’d never met someone who was so comfortable with him. He needed to try really hard and not fuck it up majorly.

“Wow… you look ravishing.” And he meant it, she looked gorgeous.

“Thank you… I just thought since you were coming over I shouldn’t look like a lazy slob.” She smiled nervously.

“Well… how about a drink to loosen up the nerves. I brought scotch.” He smiled.

Lily was feeling all kinds of nerves, maybe a drink would help. “Sure… I’ve never had it before but it’s not like I’m driving.” She was trying to be funny… he did laugh so that was a good sign.

Spike took of his duster and laid it near the blanket, he sat down on floor next to the cups. Filled each without about two shots worth and gave her one.

“Here pet… cheers.” He shot his down fast… she watched his Adams Apple jump up and down and then watched his tongue lick his lips clean. Man he must be a good kisser she thought.

“Thanks… bottoms up.” She took the shot before she sat down. “Holy shit that burns.” She moaned as the burning sensation, she wobbled a bit before he grabbed her hand and pulled her down to the floor.

“It’s a bit strong for newbies… like you.” He couldn’t help but chuckle.

“No shit Sherlock.” She said jokingly. As he poured them each another, she couldn’t help but watch him with fascination and curiosity.

This was going to be a long night.
