| A/N: Please Review. Buffy awoke to the feeling of someone gently licking the wound on her breast. Suddenly, the memory of all that had happened came back to her. She began to struggle. “Don’t touch me!” she yelled hoarsely. Someone began to stroke her hair. “Shhh, you’re safe now,” a familiar voice said. She opened her eyes and found Spike staring at her sadly. She threw her arms around his neck and began to cry. He held her and rubbed her back soothingly. Suddenly he whispered, “I almost lost you.” He pulled back from her a bit and kissed her tenderly. “Never scare me like that again.” “It’s not like I could help it,” she said shakily. He didn’t respond. He began to lick the wound on her neck. She tilted her head to the side to give him better access. The feeling of his tongue on her neck felt wonderful. It began to arouse her. When he pulled away she look at him and said, “Please?” He knew exactly what she was asking. “You’re hurt,” he said. “He touched me,” she said, “I feel dirty.” He nodded and slid two fingers inside her. He began to pump them. When she was wet enough. He slowly entered her to the hilt. He slowly and lovingly brought her to a climax. Afterward, he rolled onto his side and wrapped his arms tightly around her, as if to protect her from the world. “Are you sure I didn’t die?” she said. “Yes…why?” “Because this is how I felt in Heaven…like I belonged and was loved and cherished.” “You don’t need to die to feel like that, Buffy,” he said softly, “If that is what you want, I’ll make sure you can find Heaven on earth every day.” She smiled sleepily. “I love you,” she said. Then her eyes closed and she fell asleep. He kissed the top of her head and said, “I love you, too, Buffy.” ~*~ Willow and Tara leafed through the books at the Magic Box. After about an hour of doing that, Tara stood up and walked over to Willow. “I really missed you,” she said, “And I’m proud of how well you’re doing. I’m really bad at this stuff, so could you just be kissing me now.” Willow smiled and stood up. She hadn’t been this happy in a long time. As they broke apart, Willow exclaimed, “I found the demon!” ~*~ The phone rang, jarring both Buffy and Spike awake. “Bloody hell!” Spike exclaimed, “Who would be calling at this hour?” “Spike,” Buffy said, “It’s six at night.” “Oh.” He picked up the phone. “Hello? Yeah? Yeah. Okay, Red, we’ll meet you there in two hours.” He hung up the phone. “Red and Tinkerbell learned something about the demon that attacked Dawn and they want us to meet them at the hospital.” Buffy leapt out of bed. “Take it easy, pet.” “I’m fine,” she said, “Slayer healing, remember?” She ran off to take a shower. When she returned, Spike was dressed and lounging on her bed. “Are you mad at me about last night?” “What would I be mad at you for? Of course,” he said with a chuckle, “You’re not going anywhere on your own for the next five years, but I’m not mad.” “Did you tell anyone else?” she asked. “No, I figured I should leave that up to you. So, what should we do with the two hours that we have until the sun goes down,” Spike said, a hopeful look on his face. “We have company,” she reminded him, “And I definitely wouldn’t say no to dinner.” “Okay then. One dinner fit for the Slayer, coming up.” Once they were downstairs, Buffy realized how much her house had really been taken over by her guests. Cordelia and Angel were snuggled up on the couch. Lorne was watching television. Fred and Gunn were chatting happily while Wesley looked on sullenly. Buffy simply followed Spike around as he made her dinner. When it was time to go to the hospital, Conner ran up to them and asked, “Can I come with you?” Buffy shrugged. “Sure,” she said, “The more the merrier.” They met Tara and Willow in the lobby. While they began taking, Conner snuck up to Dawn’s room. He sat for a moment by her bed, staring at her face. She looked so nice and innocent and beautiful. Her lips looked so soft. A sudden impulse overcame her and he leaned forward and kissed her. ~*~ “…so you see, if we find Dawn’s soon to be first love, we can break the spell.” “I am not having some guy off the street kiss Dawn,” Buffy said crossly. “We couldn’t find any other way,” Willow said apologetically. Suddenly a nurse came running up to them. “Ms. Summers!” the young nurse exclaimed, “Your sister is awake!” ~*~ Dawn opened her eyes slowly and found that she was kissing a boy…a cute boy with very soft lips. He pulled back, slightly surprised. “This,” she said, “Is definitely the best way to wake up. Who are you?” The boy grinned at her sheepishly. “I’m Conner. I’m Angel’s son. We’re staying at your house.” “Really,” she said beaming, “I am really, REALLY pleased to meet you.” Buffy came rushing into the room, closely followed by Spike, Willow, and Tara. Buffy grabbed her and hugged her. Spike hugged both of them. “How did you wake up?” Buffy said, “You were in a coma.” “Really? I woke up with Conner kissing me.” Dawn smiled at Conner and he smiled back. Spike suddenly glared at him. He did not want teenage boys smiling at Dawn. Dawn, who did not appreciate his efforts, elbowed him in the ribs. After the doctor examined her, he deemed that she was healthy enough to go home. As they walked out of the hospital, Dawn quietly slipped her hand into Conner’s. “This year is definitely going to be more interesting now that I have a teenage boy staying at my house,” she thought, “And why is Angel here anyway.” All Conner could think was, “I’m in love.” |
