Chapter 9


A few months later, Buffy and Spike lay curled up on his couch. Spike’s hands trailed lazily over her abdomen as she rested her back against his chest. He listened, smiling slightly, at the soft sounds emitting from her. He could almost swear that she was purring, and knowing that he was the one to give her such contentment made him happier than he had ever been.

He thought back over the course of the last few months. They had become much closer, spending almost all of their free time together. Buffy had become more special to him than he could have imagined. She had started college a few weeks ago, and they were practically living together, not letting her mother catch on that she was spending most of her time at his apartment.

Spike felt his grip tighten on her as a feeling of insecurity washed over him. Ever since she had started at UCSunnydale, Spike had been worried that he was going to lose her. That some preppy college guy would come along and sweep her off her feet. He was pleased, but not necessarily surprised, when he had witnessed several men approach her after class or on her way to meet him, and she had politely declined any offers. He knew that he could trust her, just as she knew she could trust him.

And yet, the insecurity remained. Spike was constantly feeling like he
wasn’t good enough for Buffy, that she deserved someone better, so he
had held back from telling her exactly how much he cared for her. Now, as
she rested comfortably in his arms, he felt the emotions wash over him in
waves as he looked down at her beautiful face.

Buffy finally rolled over to face him with a smile on her face. “Okay,
mister. You’ve been staring at me for a good twenty minutes, so what’s
the what?”

Spike smiled down at the woman in his arms. “Just thinking, pet. That’s all.”

“About what?”

“How much I love you.”

The words were out of his mouth before he could even think about what
he’d said. As Spike stared into her emerald eyes and felt like he was
getting lost in them, he suddenly felt a brief sense of fear. It was
quickly replaced when he saw the blinding smile that lit up her face.

“You really mean that?”

“Of course I do, luv.”

Buffy squealed and fused her lips to his, her hands winding behind his
neck to pull him closer, deepening the kiss. Their tongues battled as the
passion ignited between them. After a few moments, both pulled away,
breathless, and looked into the other’s eyes.

“I love you, too,” Buffy said as she gently traced the angular features
of his face. She smiled at the astonished look he gave her.

“You do?”

“Of course I do, silly,” Buffy said with a playful slap to his chest.
“I wouldn’t have said it if it wasn’t true.”

It was Spike’s turn to pull her to him. He frantically kissed her, his
hands moving over the curves of her body as he tried to get closer to
her. Buffy moaned at the intensity of the moment and returned the kiss with
equal fervor, pushing her body into his.

Before either of them knew what was happening, Buffy was laying beneath
him as he pushed into her body. Panting as she arched into him, she moaned
as he hurriedly sped up his thrusts. She could already feel herself begin
to lose control as his hand wrapped around her waist to pull her even
closer to him.

Buffy gasped as he changed positions on her, angling himself upward,
hitting that elusive spot inside of her. Buffy gasped at her sudden climax,
screaming out her release as she felt the pleasure sweep over her.

Spike panted as Buffy’s inner muscles tightened around him, nearly
letting out a growl as he felt his own orgasm overtake him.

As the two lovers laid intertwined in each other’s arms, Spike leaned
over to kiss her softly. “I love you, Goldilocks.”

Buffy smiled at the new nickname. “I love you, too.”
