TOGETHER



The gang was at Giles' place, researching again. Spike was glowering in the corner. No one wanted him to help. Willow had scolded him in front of the others and told him to go sit down. She said he wasn't helping. Damn woman. How could he help when they wouldn't tell him what he needed to do? He noticed the slayer smirking at him. What he wouldn't give to go over and knock some sense into her empty head.

Willow looked up and saw the threat in his eyes. Poor baby was pouting. Good. He had done everything possible to let the others know their secret. It was time he sat and reflected on that.

Buffy watched her friend and the vampire. She didn't know why Willow didn't just go over and kiss him. She saw her friend eyeing his mouth and licking her own lips. Silly fool wanted to play her little payback game. If it were her, she wouldn't even be here. She'd have him chained to her bed and wouldn't let him leave except to...well, if what Willow had said about him was true, she wouldn't ever let him leave.

(Lucky Willow.....maybe I should look up that guy from American Lit. He looked like he had a lot of stamina) She smiled slightly at the thought of the blond guy.

"Can I get up to get a book, oh master of mine?" Spike said sarcastically from his chair.

"No."

"Bloody hell. I don't have to listen to you. You're just a silly chit." Spike said, irritated at being told off in front of the others. He knew Willow would not risk her precious little secret. He stood and headed to the table. He was surprised when she stood and faced him, fire in her eyes.

"I told you to sit. Now sit." She ordered softly.

"No. Whatcha gonna do about it?"

"This" She moved to him and pulled his head down into a searing kiss. His hands automatically went around her waist, pulling her small body into his. She pulled away from him and smiled. "Now, Sit."

He smiled back and went to the chair. He sat. He heard the slayer laughing. He shot her a dirty look.

"Willow, you have that vampire whipped. Would you like a leash?"

"Buffy, you promised. Remember? If I let mine and Spike's relationship out in the open, you'd quit harassing him."

"I lied."

Willow rolled her eyes. "I knew that. Oh well, Spike's a BIG boy, he can take anything you dish out slayer." She said grinning impishly. She saw Buffy's eyes go to Spike's jeans. She moved to her friend and hit the back of her head. "Caught ya."

"I was just looking. Anyway, you brought it up."

"No looking....no touching...he's mine."

Spike felt a rush of pride at his mate's words. She had just declared her possession to her friends.

She turned away and walked back to Spike. She sat on his lap, her fingers running over his face.

"They know" she whispered loudly.

"Really?" he responded the same way, smiling.

"Guess you're stuck with me now."

"Lucky me" he pulled her head down for a kiss. He planned to be stuck with her for eternity. Things were good. He saw her smile at him and wink. No, they were very good.
