Willow could not believe the events of the last two months. Ever since her birthday, she spent most of her nights either with Rupert or Spike. Many of those nights she was with them both. She though for sure Buffy or Xander would figure something out. Willow knew Xander would freak out. Buffy was very territorial when it came to Giles and she would go ballistic about Spike. Xander never mentioned the vast amount of time Willow spent with Giles, Buffy rarely mentioned it and when Buffy did, Willow would just say research. Buffy just left it at that. Willow had mixed emotions about that. Part of was glad that her secret was safe. Yet part of Willow knew that the reason that they did not figure anything out was because they had all been so self involved. Willow remembered the days when they were a team; they all pitched in and did research and patrol together. She kind of wished her two best friends had picked up on her new happiness.

Buffy still patrolled, only now it was with Riley, Graham and Forrest. Willow smirked when Xander referred to them as the three stooges. Riley she though was safe, Graham she thought was nice, but Forrest gave her a bad vibe. Willow had learned that on the Hellmouth, trust your instincts. She did not trust Forrest. Even the Initiative, she did not trust. She was glad that they were helping keep the forces of darkness at bay. But she also knew that they were interfering with the balance. She knew exactly what Ethan meant about the demons and chaos. She shuddered at the thought. Willow then scolded herself for thinking these thought on tonight.

Willow and Rupert had done extensive research on Spike and found out he was going to be 130 that night. Willow decided to give Spike a birthday present like the one they gave her. She smiled as she slipped the black garter belt up her legs. She then slipped the black leather miniskirt on. Willow smiled and slipped the emerald green corset on. She lightly curled her hair and put on minimal make-up. She then picked up the black leather go-go boots. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She knew that Spike would like her outfit. She slipped the leather duster Spike had given her on. She also hid the small bottle of holy water and a stake in the hidden pockets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Graham and Forrest had begun their patrol. Forrest just shook his head as he listened to Graham ramble on the virtues of Willow. "Ok, First Riley gets the bug, now you have it." Forrest joked. The men stopped joking around when they heard the sounds of heels clicking on pavement. Forrest raised his eyebrow as he saw the short leather skirt with the corset and the tall boots. Both men almost didn't recognize Willow.

"What the..." Graham said, wondering why was Willow dressed like that and where was she going. He knew that Willow was aware of what went bump into the night. "She knows better than to walk alone at night, dressed like that." Graham muttered shaking his head. Forrest' eyes had taken on a dangerous gleam in them.

Graham had begun walking in the same direction as Willow was going. Forrest smiled and followed. Graham recognized Giles' house. He saw Willow lick her lips and knocked on the door. Graham was surprised was Giles, wearing only jeans answered the door. He saw Willow touch Giles' bare chest. Graham watched as Giles pressed Willow into the wall. Graham saw Willow smile as Giles ran a hand from her knee to her thigh, stopping as he found the green garter. Graham saw his Willow wrap her arms around Giles and kiss him passionately.

"I never knew that Willow and Giles." Graham said in a dejected voice. It was the approaching of another figure that caught the commando's attention. Both men recognized Hostile 17 approach the house. Graham watched as the hostile walked up to the porch and placed his hand on Willow exposed leg. He saw the couple disengage. Graham then watched as Willow then embraced the hostile. He was repulsed as Willow kissed the vampire very deeply. Graham watched as Giles invited the hostile and Willow into his house. Graham and Forrest had found a place to observe the activities. Forrest had set up the listening device so they could hear everything that was being said. "In case she needs help." Forrest had said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Willow then led Spike into the living room and told him to sit in the lazy boy chair. Rupert then walked up behind Willow. He placed his hands over Willow's then slowly ran his fingertips over Willow's duster, when he approached the shoulders, Rupert gently removed the duster Spike had given her. Willow then turned around modeling her outfit for Spike. "Do you like, Master?" Willow said looking Spike in the eye.

"You look lovely Willow." Spike said.

"I am glad you like, Spike." Willow said. Willow then placed a boot on Spike's lap. Willow smiled as Spike undid the strings. Spike smiled as he removed the leather boots from Willow. He loved when Willow took charge. Willow then straddled Spike, pressing her sex on to the Spike's very pronounced erection. Spike growled low as Willow teased him mercilessly. Willow began to play with Spike's hair, digging her nails into Spike's scalp. Spike purred deeply and placed his hands on Willow hips. Willow smiled when she felt Spike pressing her on him. "Rupert, please put some music on." Willow directed, keeping her eyes locked with Spike's. Rupert had walked over to the stereo and put Revel's Bolero on.

When the music started, Willow dismounted Spike. Spike went to get up, but Willow quickly pushed him back into the chair. Spike smiled and lit another cigarette and relaxed, wondering what Willow was planning. Spike watched as Willow slowly walked over to Rupert. Willow danced seductively with Rupert. Willow then turned to face Spike. Willow locked her eyes with Spike's and licked her lips as she felt Rupert's hands find the zipper to the skirt. Spike found his jeans suddenly way too tight. Spike watched as Rupert slowly slid the skirt off Willow. Spike then saw the watcher place his hand on Willow's hip and slide his finger into Willow panties. Willow squealed as Rupert teased her already swollen clit. Willow then wrapped her arms around Rupert for balance. Willow kept her eyes locked with Spike's when the orgasm hit her. Willow felt Rupert supporting her. Willow then broke off the eye contact and both people watched as Rupert licked his fingers.

Spike smiled, letting his eyes travel all over Willow's body. He licked his lips as Willow turned her back to him and began to dance with Rupert. Her hands quickly found the zipper. Willow unzipped Rupert's pants slowly and helped him slip out of them. Spike then saw Willow crawl over to him on her hands and knees. Willow then gently kissed Spike on the lips, teasing his fragile self-control. Willow then undid his belt buckle. Spike maintained eye contact as Willow had unbuckled his pants. Willow then gently cupped Spike's erection. Spike had put his cigarette out, watching Willow intently. Willow then ran a finger over the zipper. Willow licked her lips while slowly unzipping Spike's pants. Spike purred when he felt her warm hand touching his cool hard on. Willow then took Spike in her mouth in one smooth long stroke. Spike gasped as he was suddenly in Willow throat. Willow's hand had come underneath him and was grabbing his ass. Spike lifted his hips and Willow removed his jeans without him ever leaving her mouth. Spike was convinced he had died and gone to heaven. He never knew Willow was so damn talented.

Spike nearly jumped when her felt Rupert's hands teasing his already hardened nipples. Spike looked up at the smiling watcher. Rupert was looking at Spike's lap, Willow's red hair covering him. "She looks so lovely like that." Rupert said in a ragged voice. He too loved Willow's warm mouth.

"Indeed, you should feel her warm talented mouth as well." Spike said huskily. Willow then took her cue. She got up and mounted Spike. In one swift motion she impaled herself on him. Both Spike and Willow groaned as the felt each other so intimately. Willow then leaned forward and took Rupert's waiting cock into her mouth. Rupert groaned as Willow slid him into her mouth. Spike reached to tease Willow's nipples. He ran his fingers over the edge of the corset. Spike quickly found its zipper and tossed the garment away.

Spike then began to tease Willow's extremely hard nipples. Spike loved the fact that Willow was very responsive to his cool touch. Willow whimpered as he lightly touched her nipple. Willow worked faster as the tempo of the music increased. Spike touched her just light enough that it made her shiver. Spike then let his hand travel down her body. Spike smiled when he felt no curls, only Willow's extremely wet folds. Spike teased her clit, bringing her to the edge of a climax, then stopping quickly. Spike loved how when he teased Willow, it really affected Rupert. Spike then reached one hand along Rupert's thigh. Rupert opened his lust-covered eyes. Spike gestured for Rupert to get lube. Rupert nodded. Spike then removed Willow's mouth from Rupert's cock and kissed her deeply. He could taste little bits of precum from the watcher.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Graham watched horrified as Willow willingly took the hostile in her throat, her shaven pussy and then her sweet ass. Thoughts quickly went through Graham's mind. None of them included recapturing the hostile. Graham quickly felt anger, rage and a need for violence. Forrest saw this and smiled, his eyes taking on a dangerous gleam. "They fooled her." Forrest said softly.

"I will show her." Graham said in a menacing voice. "They took what was mine and are defiling it. No one steals from me."

"We will show her the way it was meant to be." Forrest said in the same tone. The two men waited outside the house.

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

"So did you like your present?" Willow asked.

"Yes, Willow. I love everything you do. You never cease to amaze me."

"I like it when you call me Willow. Red, makes me sound like a pirate. How does little me amaze you?"

"Well there is the number of times I have tried to kill you, Willow. I mean I can be a real bastard yet you see through me." Spike said pulling her into an embrace. Spike gently began to kiss her neck. He loved it when Willow moaned.

"What can I say? You have amazed me too Spike." Willow said. Spike had noticed the gleam in her eyes.

"I have amazed you?" Spike said raising an eyebrow.

"You are so complex. I like that. You have a mind, a body and mm, I love your eyes." Willow said trying to talk as Spike teased her. Willow smiled as she thought of vampire stamina.

"Willow, you make me sound like of those stupid robot transformers."

"Well, Spike," Willow said running a fingernail along Spike's neck. "You are so much more than meets the eye." At Willow's giggle his game face popped out. He quickly pushed it away.

"Willow, you keep that up and we will have to make a detour." Spike said in a low voice.

"Detour?" Willow joked with him.

"Willow, don't start what you can't finish." Spike grinned.

"Who said I can't finish?" Willow said.

"Because, love, your human body can only take so much pleasure, I have no desire to hurt you. Vampires, Luv, have lots of stamina." Spike said with a deviant grin.

"Duracell has nothing on you babe." Willow said laughing out loud.

Willow was about to say something when she saw Graham and Forrest. "Willow, you should not be out this late, especially with scum like him." Graham softly said.

"Sod off." Willow replied. Spike grinned. Time seemed to stand still as Willow watched Graham shoot Spike with the blaster. Willow screamed as Spike fell to the ground. Graham pushed Willow against a tree and cuffed her hands behind it. Willow saw Forrest to over to Spike. Willow heard Forrest tell Spike "You should have been long gone man, but since you're here, enjoy the show.

Willow went to scream but was silenced by Graham's rough kiss. Willow tried to move away, but he held her in place. Spike watched as Willow bit Graham's tongue. His demon screamed with rage as Graham slapped Willow across the face. Spike tried to move but couldn't. His body refused to respond.

Spike watched as Graham used a shining knife to remove Willow's clothing. Willow screamed in pain as Graham entered her. Graham pulled her hair forcing eye contact with Willow. "Mine!" He growled as he entered her hard. Spike helplessly watched on as Graham tore into Willow and then spent himself into her. Graham then told Forrest to help himself, since Willow was his. Forrest then grinned and slammed his cock deep inside Willow's now bleeding entrance. Spike watched as Graham put Willow's lace panties into her mouth. "Be quiet like a good girl." Graham said in a menacing tone to Willow.

Spike saw the light in Willow's eyes go out. Spike watched as Forrest spent himself inside Willow. Graham then turned Willow around and slid inside her ass. Willow made no sound as he violated her. Forrest cupped Willow's face "Don't think about telling the slayer, we both know she wouldn't believe you anyway." Forrest said with a glare. Willow just looked down on the ground. Thankfully, Graham's final invasion was quick. "See you in class Willow. Remember who you belong to." Graham said before zipping up his uniform and walking away.

Spike waited until he could no longer hear them with his enhanced hearing. He called out to Willow. He saw her curled up in a ball. She made no sound. Spike forced himself to move. His demon roared at the damage they had done to something that the demon felt was his. Spike knew even if he did not still have the chip, he could never hurt Willow. Spike took his duster off and wrapped her up in it. He then carried her in his arms back to his place. She reminded him of a ragdoll, she was so limp. Spike quickly brought her upstairs and put her on the bed. He ran the warm water and lit the jasmine scented incense that Willow so loved. He then went into the kitchen and put water on for tea.

Spike removed the shreds of clothing. He winced when smelled the blood. It was hell not to let his game face slip out; he did not want to scare her anymore than she already was. He then placed her in a warm bath. Spike was not sure what to do. The sound of the teakettle startled him. He poured two cups of tea. He used his favorite black mug and then grabbed the Victorian teacup that Willow had liked. He put a few drops of codeine in her tea. He placed the teacup on the bathtub's edge. He left the door open a crack and went into the next room.

Spike had gotten a deep blue silk pair of pajamas for Willow. "Are you there?" Willow called out to Spike.

"Yes, princess, I am here." Spike said. His eyes watered with tears, as he saw nothing when he looked into Willow's eyes. He silently prayed the prayers he learned centuries ago. He did not want her broken like Dru was. It would kill him. "Water is cold." Willow said still looking at the wall.

"I will get you a towel." Spike said. He grabbed the biggest bath sheet he could find. He held it out for her. Willow tried to get up, but couldn't. Spike picked her up and propped her against the wall as he reached for the towel. He carried her into the bedroom and slipped the pajamas on her. He tucked her under the covers and sat by her bed until she fell asleep. His mind had begun planning the deaths of Graham and Forrest. He turned his neck crack it, but felt a strange pain when he did. He felt burnt skin on his neck and walked over to the mirror. He cursed when no reflection stared back at him. He turned on the new PC he got Willow. He then aimed the digital camera at his neck. He saw a funny gleam from the wound. He winced as his fingers picked out the already healing wound. Upon further picking, he found something hard. He pried the object loose from his neck and grinned when he saw the remains of his bloody chip. Spike grinned at the object. "The big bad is back, and I'm pissed." He said out loud.

Spike needed to test his theory, but was too afraid to leave Willow alone. He called the watcher. Spike knew Willow trusted the watcher and found comfort in him. Even Spike knew just how much comfort Rupert could offer. Spike dialed the numbers.

"'Ello" the groggy voice answered.

"Don't say my name. We have a problem. Get here ASAP. Take the scenic route, make sure that you aren't followed." Spike said. Rupert said he was on his way. Spike then began pacing. He was anxious to sink his fangs into something other than a blood bag. Spike would pace by the bedroom to make sure Willow was alright. Thanks to the sedative, she was. When Rupert knocked, Spike jumped. Spike looked through the peephole and saw Rupert standing there. "Come in." Spike said.

"You mentioned trouble, I came as quick as I could." Rupert said softly. Rupert to tell instantly something had happened. He had spent enough time with the vampire to know his moods.

"Thank you for coming, I did not know who else to call." Spike said.

Ripper noticed the thank you that was not good. Rupert had taken the offered cup of tea. "You mentioned trouble, Spike."

"I walked Willow home, like I usually do. We ran into two of the commandos. Graham and Forrest."

"I know who you are talking about."

"It seems Graham has taken a fancy to our Willow. The commandos must have seen everything we did. They approached us. Crackerboy tried to tell Willow how she should be home in bed, and not out with scum like me. She actually told them to sod off." Spike said, holding back his tears. Spike noticed how Rupert's expression changed.

"They zapped me with the gun. They raped her. Forrest, turned me so I could do nothing but watch as they ripped her clothes off, cuffed her hands behind her back, around a tree and took turns raping her. Nothing was left untouched if you know what I mean." Spike broke down as he remembered the events. The color drained out of Ripper's face. Spike took a deep breath, "I heard her screaming for them to stop, Crackerboy shoved her underwear in her mouth told her to shut up, called her a whore and slapped her hard."

Spike griped the chair so hard the arm broke off in his hand, startling both men. "They devastated her. I saw the fire in her eyes go out. She hasn't said much, she only asked if I was here. That's all. Her heartbeat is very slow, like she is in shock. I can't bear the thought of her broken like Dru was. I was not sure who to call, so I called you." Spike softly said.

"You realize, we have to kill them." Rupert said, with edges of Ripper coming out.

"I know, I need to get some new supplies, namely blood and smokes. I put her in a warm bath, then dressed her in pajamas. I slipped a couple drops of Codeine into a cup of tea I gave her. She has been sleeping soundly. I need to get some things and some new weapons. I was too afraid to leave her alone. I know she trusts you."

"Thank you Spike."

"I don't want the slayer to know about this." Spike said.

"Buffy is her friend." Rupert pleaded.

"Rupert, Buffy has no idea about what has been going on with us lately. According to Willow, Buffy believes that we spent all these night doing research. Buffy is little Miss GI Jane now. She has phased all of the gang out of her life. I worry she won't believe Willow. I am afraid Buffy will deny that any of the Initiative would ever hurt a living person. We both know what that would do to Willow. I am not willing to take the risk." Spike said.

He told Rupert how the slayer would never believe Willow anyway. Spike knew that Willow believed Buffy might try and find holes in Willow's story. Spike knew Buffy would run to Riley, who of course would defend his friends. Buffy more than likely would believe Riley. Spike saw Rupert's resigned nod. Spike then grabbed his duster and was about to walk out the door when Ripper's voice stopped him. "Could you pick me up some smokes? Marlboro Red's and get some Marlboro Menthol Light 100's, they should help Willow relax." Spike nodded.

"Spike, we let Willow decide agreed." Rupert said softly.

"Agreed. I'll be back soon."

Rupert then walked into the bedroom. He saw the discoloration on Willow's face. He could not stop the tears as he watched the shallow rise and fall of Willow's chest. She might have looked peacefully asleep, but that was only due to a sedative. Rupert had been struggling to keep himself together. He knew Willow would need him to be strong. Rupert was by her side when the first nightmare came. Rupert jumped on the bed and held her as she cried in her his arms. Rupert had put on hand on her head, playing with her hair to soothe her and the other was on her back, rubbing soothing circles.

Rupert held her until she went back to sleep. He closed his eyes and thought about what Spike said. He realized that Spike was right. Buffy hung around with Graham and Forrest a lot. She would have a hard time believing Willow. Rupert knew that would for sure break Willow. He remembered when Angel had come back and Buffy did not even tell him. He remembered being dumb founded when Xander told him what he saw. Ripper held his head in resignation. He then heard Willow scream. In an instant, he was by her side. He looked into her eyes. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck when he saw the hollowness there. "SShh Willow, its okay. Rupert is here." He held her tightly. He slowly rocked her back and forth.

"They hurt me." Willow meekly said.

"I know. We will make them pay." Rupert said softly.

"Promise me." Willow said.

"I promise you they will pay." Rupert said to her. He was glad some of Willow was coming back.

"Graham expects me to be class Mon." Willow said.

"You don't have to go." Giles said to her.

"No, we let him think he has won, then we plan." Willow said.

"Willow, I am so proud of you. I love you very much." Giles said.

"Shall I tell Buffy?" Rupert asked.

"No, she won't believe me anyway. She phased us out. We used to be a team. We were the Scooby gang, now it's just us. Where did Spike go?"

"He needed some blood and smokes. He will be back soon." Rupert said to Willow.

"I will train you in magic, we will make you powerful." Rupert said.

"I will train you to fight." Spike said. His eyes lit up when he saw Willow coming back. She got off the bed and flew into his arms at record speed. Spike held her tightly.

Willow's eyes lit up. "Make me strong." Willow said, looking up into Spike's eyes.

"I can never refuse you Willow." Spike said with genuine honesty.

"Can you, without setting off the implant?" Rupert asked.

"No more implant. It seems when they zapped me with the gun; it shorted out the chip. I tested my theory on a couple of muggers tonight."

Rupert paled at this revelation. "Willow, Rupert, you are safe, I won't hurt you or the Scooby gang. I will kill the Initiative though. The secret stays with us. Agreed."

"Agreed." Rupert said.

"Agreed." Willow said.

Spike then pulled a book from a pocket in his duster. "For my Queen." He said and handed Willow then new spell book. He knew that these were more vengeance-orientated spells. Willow smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
