Chapter 7: "Nightdreams" (R)

Buffy heard a knock on her bedroom door. "Come in Angel," she said, wiping
her eyes clear.

Angel opened the door a crack and peeked his head in. "How did you know it
was me?"

"Only vampire in this house who cares what's wrong with me," she stated
simply.

"You didn't tell him."

Buffy scooted over so Angel could sit next to her on the bed.

"I couldn't tell him."

Angel sighed and rested his elbows on his knees. "He has a right to know."

Buffy looked at Angel prepared to say something, but instead stood up and
started pacing the room.

"Why does he have a right to know?" she asked, not to Angel, but more to
herself. "It was a stupid spell that caused something really stupid and
disgusting to happen between us. If I had a choice I wouldn't want to know,
but since I got pregnant I had to know how."

"Buffy eventually you're going to start showing and he's going to question
who knocked you up."

Buffy shot a glare at Angel for his lude comment.

"Buffy, you can't not tell him."

"Yes I can," Buffy told him defiantly. "We can pass the baby off as Xander's
or maybe even yours."

"What about the dreams?"

"The what?"

"The dreams...the ones where you remember what happened."

"Oh, those dreams."

Buffy made her way back to the bed and plopped down next to Angel.

"Angel I cant..."

Angel put his hand on her back and started rubbing in small soothing
circles. "Why don't you get some rest and we'll talk about it in the morning."

"Yeah." she agreed, running a hand through her hair. She looked at Angel as
he moved his hand up to stroke her hair.

"Sleep with me." she pleaded.

Angel's hand stilled in her golden locks and he met her gaze. "Buffy..."

"Just lay with me, put your arms around me. I want to feel safe for one night
at least."

Angel slowly nodded his head. They both stood and pulled the covers back off
her bed.

Buffy stripped down to her panties and a tank top while Angel remained in his
black jeans and silk shirt.

Buffy slid into bed and Angel followed. He spooned his body against hers and
wrapped his arms around her waist. Buffy took hold of one hand and laced her
fingers with his. She snuggled closer and soon sleep overtook them both.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Every dream started out the same. She would be in the Bronze dancing with her
friends, upbeat music playing in the background. Then the music would stop
and her eyes would open and she'd find herself all alone. Then a force so
strong would pull her towards the back exit. In a flash she would be outside
and Spike would appear out of the darkness. They would begin to fight without
hesitation. Fighting would turn to groping, then kissing. Another flash and
they were in the factory going at it wildly. The dream always ended at her
shuddering climax.

But tonight was different. Tonight she was a seductress and her prey was one
blond vampire.

She strolled through the crush of warm bodies covering the dance floor. A few
men came up to her and greeted her with a lame pick up line. But, she ignored
them, barely acknowledging their presence. She was interested in only one man.

She spotted him by the pool tables, standing alone. A wicked smile formed on
her face and she started to nibble on her lower lip imagining all the things
she wanted to do to him.

A waiter passed by and she plucked a beer bottle from his tray.

"Hey!" the waiter shouted.

Buffy ignored him and slinked over to Spike. He was bent over the table
lining up the cue ball. She came closer and set her beer down on the edge of
the pool table.

Spike turned his head to the bottle and slowly lifted his eyes. He stood
straight when he saw her standing there, a devious look gleaming in her eyes.

Spike let his eyes roam back down over her body. He took in her outfit, the
way her shirt dipped low just above her cleavage and how her pants hugged her
hips.

"'ello Slayer." he greeted when his gaze returned to hers.

"Spike." she purred circling behind him and running her finger along his back.

Spike shut his eyes tightly and took in an unneeded breath.

Buffy made it to his other side and took the pool stick from his grasp.

"I've never played before," she told him bending over the table, the stick
poised in her hands. She ran the stick agonizingly slow between her
fingers. "Would you like to teach me?"

She glanced over her shoulder at him. He was tense, his jaw muscle flexing
rapidly.

After a moment's consideration he moved in behind her. He placed both hands
on her hips before running them over her ass to her front. He pulled her
roughly against his groin.

Buffy cried out softly when she felt his erection grind into her. Moaning
with pleasure she bent over further.

Spike groaned at her sudden movement and continued moving his hands up her
body. He found her breasts and squeezed them, eliciting another moan to
escape past Buffy's lips. He used his hold on her firm breasts to lift her up
flush against his body.

Buffy dropped the pool stick and rolled her head to the side, resting it
against his shoulder.

Spike pushed her hair aside exposing her delicate neck. He vamped and sunk
his fangs in to her.

Buffy jerked from the pain and opened her mouth to scream. A light shot
through her and they were in the factory. Her scream faded to a moan as she
felt Spike enter her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angel awoke to Buffy thrashing beside him. He reached over to wake her, but
stopped when he realized it wasn't a nightmare she was having.

"Spike."

As Angel heard her moan Spike's name anger ripped through him. There was so
much desire behind it.

"It's just a dream," he told himself, soothing the jealousy growing
inside. "Just a dream."

"Oh god."

Angel shook his head and focused his attention back on Buffy. His eyes
widened when he saw her caressing herself. He could hear her heartbeat
increase and smell her arousal. Not able to take anymore he reached over and
gently shook her.

"Buffy."

She didn't stop. Her breathing was becoming shallow. "Yes, yes, yes!"

Angel shook her again. This time she arched her back off the bed and screamed
her release. Her eyes slowly fluttered open and her breathing started to calm.

"Angel." she whispered.

Angel moved closer and took her into his arms. "You okay?"

Buffy started to nod her head then quickly started to shake it. "No." she
sobbed.

"Is that what the dreams are like every time?"

"No, this one was the worst."

"It didn't sound so bad."

"Angel." Buffy moaned quietly. She pushed his hands away and sat up.

"Sorry." he apologized. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"No."

She got up from the bed and put her robe on. "I need a drink, my throat is
dry."

Angel stood up as well. "I think it would be best if I finished sleeping in
my own bed," he told her, reaching for the doorknob.

He opened it and they both stepped into the hallway.

"Goodnight." Buffy said leaning forward and pressing her lips to his.

Angel leaned in but she was already pulling back and heading down the stairs.
