TENSION


Willow was going to scream. She was sitting in Buffy's living room with Spike, Buffy, Xander, Oz, Kent (Buffy's flavor of the week), Sofia (Oz's steady) and Jen (Xander's date). Spike was sprawled on the couch, his jeans tight and form fitting. She had seen the looks that Sofia and Jen had been sending his way. She had even caught Buffy ogling him several times. (Damn rat, he's mine. He needs to act like it. The man has no right to look that sexy.) It had been three days since her 'release'. She still hadn't moved her stuff out of his apartment. She had spent every night there. Buffy thought she had gone home. Everyone thought she had gone home. She couldn't face the idea of waking up without him beside her. She was spoiled. (If that bitch looks at him one more time, I'm tearing her eyes out....)

Spike fought a smile. He had seen the girls checking him out. He also knew that Willow had noticed. He could feel her jealousy across the room. She kept staring daggers into him. Who was he to complain? She was the one with the stupid need to be secretive. Hell, the slayer had cornered him yesterday asking what his intentions with Willow were. He'd told her to sod off. He knew she was suspicious. Suspicious hell. She knew. She's be blind not to. Every time he looked at Willow, he remembered her under him, moaning, hot and sexy. He felt himself harden yet again as he thought of his lover. (Tight jeans Spike...Think about food...chocolate and Willow....Not working.....the moron....the wolf...oh good, it's working...)

Willow noticed Spike shifting on the couch, his eyes on her. She then noticed the bulge straining his jeans. She glanced around and saw the the three women had also noticed. (Hands off girls. He's mine.) She really needed to get out of here.

Oz, Kent, and Xander were oblivious to the tension in the room.

"Sofia...why don't you tell our fortunes?" Buffy suggested, knowing of the girls interest in the subject.

"OK" She said, smiling brightly. She began with Buffy. She then went through Xander, Oz and Kent.

Willow was interested. Sofia seemed to know what she was doing. She kneeled on the floor and begged, "Do me next. Do me."

Spike chuckled softly. "Making offers pet?"

The others paused and listened as Willow turned red. She glared at him. "Get your mind out of the gutter Deadboy."

"Just keeping yours company" he said, winking.

"Oh you...you....Dumb vampire!" She got up and grabbed her purse. She wasn't about to risk saying or doing something she would regret. "I'll call you tomorrow Buffy. Bye guys." She ignored Spike, lifting her head in the air as she walked by him.

He rolled his eyes and got up. "It's been real, kiddies. I'd better see her home. We all know how unsafe this town can be. Wouldn't want someone ravishing her in an alley on her way home...." He moved quickly, wanting to catch up to her.

Buffy and the others sighed as they left.

"How long has that been going on?" Xander demanded.

"Since she stayed with him. I don't why she won't tell us." Buffy asked.

"My God. I thought he was going to take her on the couch in front of us" Sofia said, fanning herself.

"I know. And did you guys see his....." Jen smiled and made a gesture that only the girls could see. Her voice trailed off as Buffy and Sofia nodded vigorously.

"Uh huh." They both sighed. "Lucky Willow."

The three guys looked at each other, glad that they had no idea what their girlfriends were talking about.

Buffy suddenly smiled. "I bet I know just who will be ravishing her in that alley."

The girls shared another sigh before turning their attentions back to their boyfriends.
