The candlelight flickered as the two lovers lost themselves in each other's
arms. He kissed her neck softly and caressed her skin. The girl heated up in
passion as she lost herself in him.

"I love you." He whispered softly. His lips captured her reply. Their soft
whispers and promises were heard only by the night as their passion
continued. His blue eyes captured hers.

"I love you Spike." Willow whispered.
 

Willow awoke with a gasp. She looked around her room. There were no candles
and most importantly no Spike. What the hell was I dreaming, she thought.
She wiped the sweat from her face and climbed out of bed. She knew the dream
was a partial memory from two years ago when she had stayed here with the
vampire. She looked at her clock and it read one a.m. I need a shower, she
thought.

Willow headed out the door and looked down the hall. Everything was quiet.
She looked down at the bathroom door and realized it was across the hall
from Spike's room. Forget about that, she thought. She headed down the
stairs and didn't stop until she got to the bottom floor. She walked into
the large bathroom and closed the door. Willow turned the shower on hot and
full blast. She slipped out of her clothing and climbed in letting the water
wash away memories of the dream.

The hot water cleaned her skin and made her feel better. Willow washed her
hair and then turned the water off and wrapped herself in a huge fluffy
towel. This feels so much better, she thought. She brushed her red hair out
and then slipped into a fresh satin nightgown. She looked at herself in the
mirror and smiled.

"Much better." She said softly. She opened the bathroom door and took a
breath of fresh cool air. She walked across the hall and into another large
bedroom. Willow looked out the bay windows and sighed. The sea was calm and
perfect. "Why can't everything be that perfect?" She asked aloud. Suddenly
she felt cool hands on her bare shoulders. Willow gasped and spun around.
"S-Spike! What are you doing in here?" She sputtered. Spike smiled and
leaned closer to her.

"Just out for a smoke. And low and behold and I find just the girl who keeps
me up nights in the shower. I thought it would be rude if I didn't say hello
love." He said smiling. Willow backed up.

"Oh well hi." She said. Spike's right hand touched her arm and traveled
slowly up.

"So nice and warm. So sweet smelling, like wild flowers." He said huskily.
Willow swallowed hard.

"Um thanks." Willow whispered. His fingers traveled to her neck and then he
brushed a piece of damp hair from her face.

"What are you doing up this late? Shouldn't the young girl be in bed?" He
asked.

"I just needed to clear my head.bad dream." She said looking into his eyes.

"Want me to help you forget it?" He asked suggestively. Willow finally got
enough resolve to push him away.

"No I told you, we're just friends. N-nothing else." She insisted. Damn I
hate when I stutter, she scolded silently. Spike stepped back towards her,
so close that she could practically feel him against her.

"But you want more then that don't you?" He asked. His head was turned so
that his lips brushed her ear as he spoke but nothing else touched her. "You
want someone to make you feel alive again. I can feel it you know you're
blood racing through you. I can hear every beat you're heart makes love.
Tell me who is it that you're little heart beats for?" He asked in a low
hypnotic voice. Willow looked up into his eyes. Spike saw the small trace of
fear the hazel orbs held.

"I don't know." She whispered. "I don't know anything anymore." Suddenly the
thunder crashed outside and the moment was broken. Willow pushed passed the
vampire and walked towards the door. Spike grabbed her arm.

"Willow wait." He said. Willow turned and in an instant Spike's lips were
upon hers. The kiss was passionate and hungry and Willow responded
instantly. She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him against her.
Their lips met again and again hungrily. Suddenly Willow pulled away
gasping.

"I'm not supposed to be doing this." She said fearfully. Her own passion and
need for him was scaring her more then anything.

"But?" Spike said hopefully.

"I have to." She said. He kissed her again holding on to her tightly.
Willow's hands traveled up Spike's back trying to take his shirt off. Their
lips broke only for a moment as she pulled it off of his head. Spike pulled
her into the silently waiting bed and pinned her beneath him. His lips
touched her neck and his hands caressed her skin as memories of Willow's
dream rushed back to her.

"You feel so good." He whispered. Willow smiled. She pulled his lips back to
hers and her tongue searched his mouth hungrily. She was practically burning
with desire. He quickly removed the rest of the clothes and teased her neck
with his lips. His fingers slowly caressed the skin above her breasts and
Willow shivered with delight. Her fingers dug into his back.

"Spike don't tease me. I've waited too long." She whispered into his ear.
His eyes smiled at her and his lips kissed hers again. He plunged into her
and began a steady rhythm. Willow's moans of passion only made him want her
more. Her back curved towards him and she whimpered in ecstasy. Willow's
hands caught Spike's and he pinned them above her head as he continued to
kiss her and torture her. The witch's skin burned and she was lost in his
whispers and touches. They found their peak over and over but they continued
passionately as if making up for their time apart.

Spike's lips found her neck once again and in a moment of pure passion and
desire his fangs sank into her skin and he drank from her hungrily. Willow
whimpered in desire as she felt him drink her. He slowly edged away from her
neck and looked down into her eyes. Willow touched his cheek softly and
kissed him again. He melted into her again and drove into her slowly. They
were both lost in a slow and steady rush of passion and desire. Willow
practically screamed as she reached her climax and soon she collapsed into
the vampire's arms.

Spike wrapped his arms around her and kissed the mark on her neck as if to
remind her it was there. The sound of the silence in the room was peaceful
and calm.

"Perfect." Willow murmured.

"Say again love." He asked.

"Everything is perfect. Finally." She whispered. Her eyes were closed and
she snuggled closer to him half asleep. He kissed her hair and his fingers
traveled lazily along her back.

"Are you sure?" He asked. Willow looked up at him.

"What?" She asked.

"What about Gr." Willow put her fingers to his lips to silence him.

"Right now it's just us." She said. He kissed her softly and She fell back
against his chest. Each lay their lost in love, lost in fate, and lost in
their thoughts holding on to the precious few moments they had left
together.
