PART 1

Willow woke up on a cold hard floor in the dark. "Where am I?" She
reached out and felt a cold hand lying next to her. "Oh Goddess!" She
felt for a pulse but there wasn't one. "Dead! There's a dead body in
here with me! What am I going to do!?" Willow scooted away from the
body until her back was pressed up against a wall. She bit her bottom
lip to keep from crying. She started to peer around in the dark. The
body on the other side of the room moved. <Oh Shit! Vampire! > Willow
started to panic as she realized that her situation just got a hell of
a lot worse.

Spike woke up on a cold hard floor in the dark. < Bloody hell! That's
the last time I drink tequila! Where the fuck am I? > Spike sat up and
stretched, that's when he noticed he wasn't alone. < Where am I, and
who the hell is here with me? > Spike stood and moved toward the
person across the room. He could smell the fear the closer the he got.

"Eeeep! Don't come any closer you… you… evil dead guy! I know magic
and I'm not afraid to use it!" Willow tried to think of a spell that
she could use to repel a Vampire. "Red? Is that you?" a familiar
British voice asked. "Spike! Oh thank the Goddess!" she threw herself
into his arms. Spike was startled but put his arms around her. "Where
are we? Can you see anything, it's so dark in here." Willow asked as
she pulled back from him. "Yeah, I can see but there ain't much to see
in here. Cement walls, a steel door, a double bed in the far corner,
what looks like a toilet stall and a table full of sandwiches and
sodas that are probably drugged." Spike walked toward the table
pulling willow with him. He picked up a sandwich and sniffed it.
"Smells okay." Then he bit a small piece off of it. "Tastes okay too.
I think the food is safe for you to eat." Willow took the sandwich
that spike had just bitten and picked up a cherry soda. "Would you
mind trying the drink as well?" he handed him the can and he opened
it. After pronouncing it to be fine as well he led her to the bed and
sat her down.  "Look Red, I don't know where exactly we are or how we
got here but I don't plan on staying here. I'm going to look around a
bit more so just stay put!" Spike walked to the stall and looked
inside. "Yep. It's a toilet." He then went to the table and crouched
down. "There's a box under here I'm going to see what's in it." Spike
pulled a large wooden crate out from under the table and emptied its
contents onto the floor. "Candles, Matches, liquor, cigarettes,
herbs…. Bloody Hell! Stakes!"

Willow lit a few of the candles and placed them around the room. She
inspected the herbs and then the stakes. Spike was pacing the floor
smoking and drinking from one of the liquor bottles. Hours passed in
silence, as they were both contemplating there situations. Finally
Willow spoke. "I'm going to try to do a locator spell. As least then
we'll know where we are." Willow got up and placed the already lit
candles in a circle and sat in the middle. Spike watched as she closed
her eyes and chanted. When she was finished she stood and looked at
him. "Well? Where the fuck are we?" Spike had gotten quite drunk by
this point and he wasn't happy about being locked up. "We're still in
Sunnydale. Warehouse district from what I could see." Willow walked to
the table and grabbed a couple of sandwiches and a drink. "Spike? Do
you think whoever put us here will let us go? I mean so far we haven't
been hurt, there's food, a bed, candles, and hell there is even herbs
here for my spells. Why would someone go to all the trouble of
providing for us if they were going to kill us?" Spike walked to the
table and then turned to her. "Look, from what I can see whoever put
us here does not intend for us to leave here, there is food and magic
supplies and stakes for Christ sakes! But there is also a bed, lots of
alcohol, and if you haven't noticed there is no damn blood! I have not
been provided for." As Spikes words started to sink in Willow realized
how much trouble she was in. She was locked up with a Vampire, a very
drunk Vampire, and everyone knows that drunken Vampires are violent
and dangerous and … horny! Take into account that there is a bed here
and a pile of stakes and spell supplies it doesn't take a genius to
figure it out. "So what? This is some sort of test to see if you can
hurt me, or if I will kill you? Why? Why would anyone do this?" Willow
started to cry. "Shh luv, Lie down and rest. I won't hurt you. I can
go a day or so with out feeding before I lose control. And if that
happens I still have this bloody chip and it won't let me hurt you.
Now lets get some sleep so we can figure a way out of this in the
morning. Willow went to the stall and removed her pants and bra so
that she was only in her T-shirt and panties. "Spike? Could you close
your eyes? I can't sleep in jeans so I took them off and I was hoping
I could get into the bed without you seeing me." Spike chuckled at
her. "Sure pet, no problem." Willow peeked out of the stall and strode
toward the bed, when she was almost there Spike opened his eyes and
looked at her. "Eeep, Spike you said you wouldn't look!" She dove into
the bed and pulled the covers up. "Luv, I'm a Vampire. We're not big
on telling the truth. 'sides you looked so cute standing there in your
knickers and blushing like crazy. Now scoot over so I can get in."
Spike stripped off his jeans and T-shirt and stood there in his
boxers. "There, now you've seen me in my shorts, are we even?" Spike
started to climb in bed beside Willow. "Stop! You can't sleep here! We
can't be in the same bed in our underwear, what would people say if
they found out!" Willow continued to babble on about the sleeping
arrangements when Spike cut her off abruptly. "Look, I'm not sleeping
on the floor. The bed is big enough for both of us and I intend to
sleep here. If you have a problem sleeping here with me then you can
sleep on the floor!" Willow gave up. She knew she wouldn't win this
argument and there was no way she was sleeping on the floor. "Fine!
But keep to your side of the bed and no funny stuff!"
 
 

PART 2

Spike woke to the sound of a scream. Willow was thrashing on the bed,
sweating and moaning in pain. The fear rolled off of her in waves.
"Pet wake up. Red, Willow wake up!" Spike shook her and her eyes
snapped open and she screamed. Then Spike roared in pain as a stake
impaled itself in his back just inches from piercing his heart.
"Spike!" Willow leapt from the bed and pulled the stake from his back.
Blood was pouring from the wound. She grabbed his shirt from the floor
and pressed it to the wound to stop the bleeding. "Oh Goddess! This is
all my fault, I'm so sorry Spike I didn't mean to do it. I never
wanted to hurt you." Willow pulled spikes head into her lap and
stroked his hair as she wept. Spike was out for almost an hour. When
he came to he opened his eyes to see Willow holding him and crying
softly. He wasn't sure what had happened, he remembered waking up to
her screaming, trying to wake her, then a sharp pain in his back and
then nothing. "Pet? What happened, why are you crying?" willow looked
into his eyes and smiled. "Spike! You're awake, oh thank you Goddess!
I was so scared that you wouldn't wake up! I'm so sorry Spike, I
didn't mean to hurt you. It was an accident." She started to cry
again. "What do you mean luv? What was an accident?" Spike tried to
sit up but he was to weak from blood loss so he just stayed where he
was with Willow still holding him in her lap. "I was having a
nightmare, this huge ugly green and black demon was chasing me. I ran
as fast as I could and then I fell. When I got up I was here. I was
scared and so I ran to you. Only you were are GRRRR and trying to bite
me. I was so scared and then I woke up and you were there shaking me
and the stake was sailing across the room and I tried to make it
swerve but it was coming too fast and I didn't get it to move far
enough and it still got you but it didn't kill you and there was so
much blood and then you passed out and I was so scared and I'm so
sorry Spike I'm so, so sorry." Spike replayed everything she said to
him then he understood. "Luv? Could you mabey put the stakes back in
the bow and hide them under the table? I don't feel like being
skewered every time you have a bad dream." Willow nodded and slowly
slipped out from under Spike and went to put the stakes away. She no
longer cared that she was half-naked in front of him. When she
finished she slipped back into bed beside the now sleeping Vampire and
drifted off.

The smell of coffee wafted through the room. Willow almost forgot
where she was when she woke up. "Spike!" she whispered. "Are you
awake? I think someone was here while we were sleeping." Spike opened
his eyes and tried to sit up without success. "Help me up Pet. I can't
see anything from this position." Willow helped Spike to sit resting
his back against the wall beside the bed. "You're right, someone or
something has been here. There's a coffeepot, bottled water and a
large bowl of fruit on the table. Apparently our captor has brought
you breakfast." Willow went to the table, poured some coffee and
picked up an apple. "Spike, do you want something?"  "Water would be
good Pet." Willow returned to the bed and gave him a bottle of water.
Spike tried to open it but found he was too weak. "I'm afraid I lost
more blood than I should have Red. You're gonna have to play nurse
maid for a bit until I get my strength back." Willow took the bottle
from him, opened it and held it to his lips. "Drink Spike, I don't
mind caring for you, It's my fault you got hurt in the first place.
How long will it take for your strength to come back?" Spike thought
for a minute.< Cor! How do I tell her that I'm only going to get
weaker if I don't feed soon? What would be the point in telling her,
it's not like she can do anything about it. There's no blood here
except hers and I can't feed from humans. > Willow watched him as he
thought about his answer < He won't get stronger if he can't feed!
He's probably trying to come up with a good story to tell me so that I
won't worry. I have to find him some blood. Hey! I have blood he can
have some of mine! Oh right, he can't bite me cause of the chip. Pain
for me = pain for him. I have to figure out some way for him to bite
me without it hurting for either of us. >   "I don't know Pet, not too
long I hope."

Spike finished half the bottle of water and Willow used the rest to
clean the dried blood from his wound. It looked better but it wasn't
healing very fast. Spike was asleep again and Willow was pacing the
room and thinking. < Okay, he needs blood, I have blood. He can't hurt
me so therefore he can't bite me unless it doesn't hurt. How can he
bite me without pain? Think Willow! Wait! The Watchers diaries! I read
in there that Vampire bites can be very pleasant under certain
circumstances, Which circumstances? Oh right during sex! That's it! No
wait I can't have sex with Spike! I mean he's Spike. Not someone I
should have sex with. Not that he isn't attractive cause he is, I used
to have such a crush on him after the whole kidnapping thing. I still
sort of do. Arg! I have to do this, it's the only way to help him.
Besides you're just helping a friend get better. It's not about sex
it's about helping a friend. Mabey if I keep telling myself that I'll
start to believe it! > Willow walked back to the bed and undressed.
She slipped into bed beside Spike and pressed her naked body up
against him. He didn't move. She slowly reached out and placed her
hand on his smooth muscled chest and trailed her fingers across it.
She explored every inch of his chest moving down to his well developed
abs. < He's so smooth and muscled! I never thought his skin would be
so soft. >
Willow continued her exploration of his body as she ran her fingers
along the waist of his silk boxers. She ran her hand over top of them
feeling the bulge underneath. She gasped as a cold hand grabbed her
wrist. "Stop." Spike had thought he was dreaming when he felt her warm
flesh pressed against him, he enjoyed the feeling of her fingers
exploring his skin, but when she touched him there he knew that this
was no dream. "Willow, what are you doing?" Willow thought about
telling the truth but she knew he'd never let herself sleep with him
just to help him so she lied. "What do you think I'm doing. You're the
one who's been around for over a century I thought you'd know when a
girl is trying to seduce you." Spike released his grip on her wrist.
"Seduce me? Why? Since when do you like men again?" He wasn't making
this easy with all the questions. "First of yes, I'm trying to seduce
you. Second, because I want you. Third, I've always liked men, Tara
was the only woman I was attracted to. Now shut up and let me get back
to work! No more interruptions!" Spike tried to move but couldn't.
"Pet, are you sure you want this? I'm in no position to fight you off
even if it is for your own good, I'm also in no position to help you
either if you get my drift." Willow giggled. "So, you're telling me
that you're completely at my mercy? I think I can work with that." She
pulled his boxers off and her eyes raked over his pale form. < He
looks like a marble statue of a Greek God! > Willow crawled up his
body and kissed him gently on the lips. He responded by parting her
lips with his tongue. The kiss turned to one of passion and need. When
air became an issue Willow pulled away from his lips and trailed
kisses along his jaw line and up his cheekbones. "Beautiful" She
breathed. She kissed her way to his ear then gently sucked and nibbled
on his lobe. She was so caught up in kissing and liking her way around
his neck that she almost forgot that she wasn't supposed to enjoying
this quite so much. < I'm doing this to help him. I'm not supposed to
be get so turned on by this! It's about helping a friend not sex! Who
am I kidding, as soon as I saw him naked it was all about sex! Besides
it's not like I'm taking advantage of him. He needs my blood and I
need his… Whoa girl! Stop thinking and just do it already! > Spike was
half way between heaven and hell. He wanted nothing more than to pull
her underneath him and fuck her into the mattress, however he was too
weak to even touch her. Besides that a part of him was really enjoying
the loss of control he felt. He decided that since there was nothing
he could do to change it he'd just lie back and enjoy it. That's when
he felt her hot mouth engulf him. "Fuck!" Willow heard him yell and
she stopped. "Spike? You okay?" She was afraid she had hurt him or
done something wrong. "Yeah Pet, I just haven't had a human lover in
over a century. I forgot how good a warm mouth could feel.  Carry on.
Please?" Willow smiled to herself and went back to the task at hand.
She began teasing the tip of his cock with her tongue while she
massaged his balls with her hand. The other hand was slowly stroking
up and down on his shaft. She could hear his low moans of pleasure and
frustration. She took as much of him in her mouth as she could and
began sucking. She was so caught up in the sensation of his cock in
her mouth, his taste on her tongue his moans echoing through the room
that she almost didn't stop in time. She pulled her mouth away from
his rigid cock and heard him growl in displeasure. "Red!" She crawled
up his body and straddled his hips. "Shh! I'm not done yet." She
lowered her breast to his mouth and sighed when his cool mouth closed
over her nipple. She rocked back and forth on his firm abs as he
suckled on her breast. She removed it and offered him the other one.
She raised herself up enough to place his cock at her entrance. Slowly
she slid down his length. It had been too long since she had been with
a man, the painful sensation of her walls stretching was enough for
her to bite clean through her bottom lip. She lowered her mouth to his
and pushed her bloody lip into his mouth. He moaned in pleasure as her
blood fell upon his tongue. She raised up off him until only the tip
of his cock remained inside her, then she plunged back down
forcefully. Spike groaned into her mouth as he continued to lick and
suck at her bloody lip. His game face had emerged as soon as he tasted
her blood in his mouth. She pulled her lip from his mouth and began
thrusting herself wildly on his cock. " Oh Goddess! Oh Spike!" She
screamed as she came. She threw herself forward and continued to ride
him for all she was worth. She pushed her neck into his face and his
fangs pieced her skin as he came. The feeling was so intense that she
came again. His arms wrapped around her as he continued to suck at her
neck. She fell asleep on his chest as he licked the last of the blood
from her wound.
 

PART 3

"Willow. Willow. Red, Pet, Luv." Spike was trying to wake her without
much success. "Not moving! Comfortable." She mumbled against his
chest. He stroked his hands down her back and cupped her ass. "Not
that I'm complaining, I quite enjoy having a warm naked woman lying on
me, but unless you want to go for round two you might want to consider
not wiggling." Willows head shot up and she looked into his laughing
blue eyes. "Oh! I didn't realize I was wiggling. Hey! Are you feeling
better?" Spike had figured out what she had done but decided not to
bring it up just yet. "Yeah Ducks, I feel a bit stronger. I could use
a smoke though." Willow looked towards the table where his cigarettes
and matches were. Then she put out her hand and they floated to her
and settled in her palm. "Nice trick Luv, although I'd have preferred
to see you walk over there and back." He leered at her. "That's
exactly why I floated them. I'm not getting out of this bed until
after round two." Spike looked at her like she had grown another head.
< What the fuck? I know she figured out that the only way to feed me
was to fuck me and Willow being the person she is did what she had to,
to help me but there's no way she can understand the ramifications of
her actions. I have to talk to her! I'd much rather shag her until she
passes out but she needs to know what she's done before anything else
happens. Fuck I'm as bad as the Poof! > "Red we need to talk, about
what happened. I figured it out." Willow rolled off of him and pulled
the blanket to her chest. "Figured what out?" Spike lit his smoke and
sat up. "I know that you had sex with me so that I could bite you.
You've always been too damn smart for your own good, you figured out
that I could probably still bite during sex so you seduced me. I must
say that when I realized you didn't really want me I was a bit
disappointed, but then I realized that you sacrificed your morals just
to help me even though I'm a monster, for that I owe you, and I
respect you. There's only one problem." Willow wasn't sure what to
say, on one hand he was right. She had seduced him in order to feed
him. But on the other hand she wanted him, she wanted to have sex with
him and she wanted to do it again. Her entire body screamed at her to
throw him down and take him again! "Problem? I don't see a problem
Spike. I helped you get better, and yes I had to shag you to do it but
I enjoyed as much as you did. I don't regret it. Hell I'd like to do
it again. I've never felt so complete, so comfortable with someone. I
did everything I wanted to and I enjoyed it. You did too. So what's
the problem?" Once again Spike just looked at her shocked. < This is
not the same shy girl I thought she was, she 's full of surprises!
Who'd have thought that this little thing could shag me senseless and
then stun me into silence! I wonder if her friends even know the real
Willow! > "Um Spike? You were going tell about a problem?" Spike shook
his head. "Oh right then. I assume you read about Vampire bites in the
Watcher journals and that's where you learned about sex & biting?"
Willow nodded. "Right. So did you ever read anything on the subject of
claiming? Sex between a Vampire and a mortal when there are feelings
involved?" Willow shook her head and looked confused. "That's what I
thought. You're not going to like this Red." Spike stood up and pulled
his boxers and jeans on. Willow followed suit and got dressed as well.

Spike paced back and forth as he talked. Willow sat on the bed and
listened, a small smile played on her lips. "So, you know about
Vampires, obviously we don't take human lovers very often. Usually we
would turn someone we wanted. Other than the normal fuck em and drain
em most of us Vamps stick to our own kind, Demons. There are a lot of
reasons for this. First of being you shouldn't get involved with a
member of the species you eat! Secondly most humans couldn't handle a
relationship with a Vampire, they don't really understand what we are
and then when they do it usually drives them insane. That's why we
usually turn a mate before shagging them, otherwise you end up with an
insane Vampire. Too bad Angelus never thought of that with Dru. Anyway
the whole claiming thing is a little difficult to understand. When a
human and a Vampire have sex and there is no emotion involved it's
fine to bite them. No consequences. However when there are emotions
involved it's not a good idea. Angel never bit Slutty during their
little romp because he knew what would happen if he did. They loved
each other and it would have made them mates. The Vampire equivalent
of marriage Pet. Are you starting to see where this is going?" Willow
knew exactly where this was going! She never got over her crush on
Spike. A part of her had always loved him. Apparently he felt
something towards her too. She played dumb with him to get him too
admit it. "I… I'm not sure I follow you. I thought that there had to
be feelings on both sides for this to happen. I admit that I care for
you more than a friend, but you don't feel that way about me so how
did this happen?" Spike stopped and turned to face her. "Pet, I was
going to turn you in your dorm room remember? You would have been my
mate already if those damn soldier boys hadn't put this chip in my
head." He sat down beside her and took her hand. "Willow, for all
intents and purposes we are mates. I won't hold you to it because you
had no idea what you started. However, I won't promise not to try and
convince you. I want you. I need you." Willow smiled at him. "I need
some time to think about this." < Married to Spike? How the hell did
that happen? Not that it's necessarily a bad thing. He's funny, smart,
sexy, kind, in a "I'm a bad ass Vampire" sort of way, and did I
mention sexy?! But married? I wish I could talk to Angel. I have so
many questions about Spike. Does he love me? Can he love me? I'm just
a human, Drusilla was a gorgeous Vampire. Okay yeah, she was crazy as
a loon but still. Why would spike be interested in being stuck with a
human as a mate? Goddess I need to get out of here and get some
answers. > "Spike? Are you feeling strong enough to help me do a
spell?" Spike shrugged. "Sure pet what did you have in mind?"

"Spike! It won't work if you don't stay still! Now hold your arms out
and take my hands. Concentrate on Buffy." Spike groaned. "Do I have
to? Couldn't we try the Watcher or Chubs?" Willow took his hands and
shook her head. "No, it has to bee Buffy, she's the slayer, and
therefore she can receive the message. Unless you'd rather we contact
Angel?" Spike glared at her and spoke between clenched teeth. "We are
not contacting my sire! Slutty will have to do!" Spike closed his eyes
and concentrated on sending a message to Buffy while Willow cast the
spell.
 

PART 4

Buffy woke from a strange dream. Willow and Spike were trapped in a
room with each other. Only instead of trying to escape they were
having sex. Just as the both came they looked at her and yelled for
help. Then the outside of this building was showing. Then she woke up.
"Wills and Spike having sex? Gross. What the hell did I do to deserve
that image! No more pizza before bed for me!" Buffy went to the
bathroom and showered. When she finished she got dressed and went to
see Giles.

"Buffy? What brings you here this early in the morning? Do come in."
Giles led her to the kitchen as he made tea. "Um well, it's kinda
gross. I had this dream, at first I thought it was just some strange
reaction to eating pineapple pizza before bed but now I'm not sure and
so… here I am." Buffy sat down and took the teacup that was offered to
her. "A dream? About what? Do tell, then mabey we can figure it out."
Giles sat and sipped at his tea while he waited for his Slayer to
speak. "Okay but it's not pretty, and I'm giving you the PG version. I
can't even bring myself to mention the things that I saw in the R
rated vision I was given!" Buffy quickly told Giles about her dream,
leaving out the details of how Willow seemed to be the one in control
of the coupling and how well they seemed to work together. Although
the more she thought about it the more they seemed right together, if
her dream was any indication Willow would be very happy with Spike.
"Oh Dear lord! Did he… well… bite her?" Giles asked as he continued to
polish his glasses as he had done since she started describing her
dream. "Yeah right when he… well… you know 'got a happy'." Buffy
smirked at the uncomfortable expression on his face. Anyway I think I
know where that building is. It's in the old warehouse district.  Can
you call Xander and Anya? Ask them to meet me there?"
Buffy headed for the door. "Of course, right away, Buffy do be
careful, and if my suspicions are right I think you should bring them
both back here right away, I'll need to speak with them." Buffy wasn't
sure what his suspicions were but she agreed.

"Why are we standing around out here if Wills is in there with Deadboy
Jr.? I mean aren't we supposed to rescue her from him?" Buffy shook
her head at Xander and turned to Anya. "Look, Anya Giles said that he
wants to see them both right away." She leaned closer and whispered in
her ear. "There was biting involved in a naked kind of 'I've got a
happy' way." Anya smiled "Oh! I get it. Xander Willow is fine. She
doesn't need to be rescued from Spike. They both need to be rescued
together." Xander was confused. "Huh? What do you mean?" Anya took his
hand and spoke to him like he was a child. "Spike didn't kidnap
Willow. They were both kidnapped and we are going to save them. Both
of them!" Xander was still confused but just shrugged his shoulders.
Buffy walked to the front entrance of the warehouse and opened the
door. The others followed her inside the building. It was completely
empty except for a large cement walled room in the center with a large
steel door. "They must be in here." Buffy said as she tried the door.
It was locked. "Look around for anything that we can pry the door open
with." Xander found a set of keys hanging on a nail around the corner
from the door. "Hey Buffster? I found some keys. Could the kidnappers
be that stupid as to leave keys?" Buffy took the keys from Xander and
said, "Well I guess we'll find out won't we?" The key worked and the
door opened. Buffy stepped inside the room and smiled. Anya and Xander
followed her. "AAAK! What are they doing?" Xander ran back out of the
room. "Oh for God's sake Xander! It's not like they were having sex!
They were just kissing." Anya followed her boyfriend out of the room.
Buffy cleared her throat rather loudly to get their attention. "Bugger
off Slayer! We know you're there. We'll be out in a minute!" Spike
continued to kiss his 'wife'. Willow pulled away from him and spoke.
"I think we should get out of here before whoever put us in here comes
back. We can continue this later. Okay?" Spike reluctantly agreed.
"Fine, but we will continue this later! That's a promise."
 

PART 5

The five of them walked back to the Watchers house in silence. Willow
and Spike held hands the entire way. Xander and Anya were looking at
each other having an argument with their eyes. He was clearly
displeased about Willow's relationship with Spike; He tried to voice
his opinion several times only to have Anya glare him into silence.
She knew what he wanted to say and she knew it was none of his
business. Besides he didn't understand that they were mated. She would
explain it to him when they were alone.
Buffy was still coming to terms with the fact that she didn't want to
stake Spike. She saw them kissing, and if her dream was any indication
they had already done a lot more than that. Especially by the look of
the 'love bite' on Willow's throat. Spike was thinking of ways to
convince his 'wife' to stay mated to him. Not that she had a choice
really. The only way out of a mating was death to one of the mates.
But he told her that he wouldn't hold her to it, therefore he would
have to stay mated to her with none of the benefits. Not a compromise
he wanted to make! He loved Willow and if he had to he would wait
until she loved him as well. Just so long as it didn't take too long.
Willow was trying to decide what to do. Spike had spent the better
part of an hour trying to convince her to stay his mate. He hadn't
even said a word! Not that his mouth wasn't busy doing other things.
He has kissed her until she was breathless. She came twice just from
his kisses and his touches and he never even touched her below the
waist! Definitely a perk to having a Vampire 'husband'. She still
wanted to know more about this whole mating thing before making a
decision.

"Oh good you found them!" Giles quickly led them into the house. "I
ah… well… I need to speak with Spike for a minute would the rest of
you please find something to do in the kitchen." Buffy took Willow
into the Kitchen and Anya decided that her and Xander should go home.
"I'm taking Xander home. Call us when you guys figure everything out."
Then they left. "Alright Watcher what is it? Spike walked to the couch
and sat down. "Did you mate her?" Giles was straight to the point.
"Don't think that's your business mate." Spike glared at him. Giles
decided to try a different approach. "Look, Buffy had a dream about
the two of you, that's how she knew where to find you. Did she tell
you any of this?" Spike shook his head. "Right then, she described her
dream to me in an edited version, but from what she told me it sounds
like the two of you are mated. I want to know if Willow understands
the ramifications of this." Spike gave up. "Fine! Yes we are mated,
It's not my fault! She damn near killed me after a nightmare and I
lost a lot of blood. I was weak, there was nothing for me to feed on.
She's smart you know. She figured out that I could probably bite her
if it wasn't in pain, if you get my meaning. She seduced me. Hell she
didn't have to try very hard I couldn't bloody move I was so weak! You
know Red, she felt responsible for almost killing me so she did what
she felt she had to do. I explained it to her, most of it anyway, and
I told her I wouldn't hold her to it." Giles couldn't help but laugh.
The more he thought about it the funnier it got. He laughed so hard
that tears streamed down his cheeks. "It's not bloody funny! I'm
leaving! Willow!"

Buffy and Willow were in the kitchen taking about the events of the
last 24 hours. Willow had explained how she and Spike had sent her a
message to let her know where they were. They weren't sure how the sex
part got transmitted but Willow confirmed that it was an accurate
description of what happened. "So you only gave him a 'happy' so that
he could bite you? Cause I gotta tell you, from I saw it looked like
you got quite a 'happy' out of it too." Willow blushed. "It started
off that way, I almost killed him. I just wanted to feed him, but as
soon as I got him naked and took a good look at him it was all about
sex! Buffy? Is there something wrong with me? I mean I see a naked
man… Vampire… who happens to look like a marble statue of a Greek God
mind you, but one look at him and I'm a sex crazed hussy!" Buffy
laughed. "No Wills there is nothing wrong with you. If you ever tell
Spike this I'll kill him just for knowing, but I always thought he was
a hottie. Even though I act like he disgusts me. Besides who am I to
judge you? I'm in love with hire sire, probably always will be." Just
then they heard Giles laugh. The laughing got louder until they heard
Spike yell. They couldn't make out what he said but when he called for
Willow they heard and ran out of the kitchen. "The Watcher thinks this
is fucking hilarious! I'm leaving, are you coming with me?" The voice
was harsh but the look in his eyes was soft, almost pleading. "Yeah,
just let me get my stuff." Hand in hand they left the apartment.
 
 

PART 6

"I don't see why we can't just go to my place. Is this the way its
gonna be, you leading me around by my …" Willow cut him off with a
slap to his arm. "I'm not going to spend the night in a crypt! I want
to have a hot bath and I need my laptop. Come on 'husband' I'm going
home." Spike grumbled. Fine but I'm not sleeping on the couch!" They
soon arrived at Willow's parents' house where she was staying for the
summer. "Come in Spike." Willow went into the kitchen and started
making some food. < Shit! I forgot about Spike! I don't have any Blood
here! > "Hey Spike? I don't have any blood here so I'm going to run
out and get some for you, could you watch the stove for me while I'm
gone?" Spike came into the kitchen. "Sure Pet. What are you making?"
"Oh, just some soup. I'll be back in a bit okay?" She kissed him on
the cheek and bounced out to the garage. 15 minutes later Willow was
back in the kitchen holding a bag from the butcher shop. "Thanks luv,
I'll take that." Spike poured some of the blood into a mug and put the
rest in the fridge. Willow ate her soup as Spike drank his blood. When
they finished their meals Willow washed their dishes and put them in
the drain board. "I'm going to check my e-mail and then take a bath."
Spike followed her up the stairs. "Let me run your bath for you while
you check your mail." Spike headed for the bathroom while Willow went
to her computer. As soon as he was logged on she sent an e-mail to
Angel

Hi Angel,
How are things in L.A.? I hope you and Cordy are getting along.
Everyone here is Fine. Spike and I were kidnapped last night but we
don't know who it was. We're both fine, Buffy saved us. Just don't
tell Spike that he was saved by the Slayer, I think he would rather
not think about it. I'm going to call you later when Spike goes to
sleep, I apologize ahead of time if its late. I have some questions
that I need answers to and you're the only one I can ask. Please don't
panic or brood. I'm fine I promise. Spike is running me a bath and
then I'm going to take a nap. I'll call you later.
Willow

"Pet your bath is ready. Are you done in there?" Willow closed her
laptop and came into the bathroom in her robe. "Yep, all done. What
are you going to do while I'm in the bath?" Spike leered at her.
"Thought I might watch. Mabey participate." He stepped toward her to
remove her robe. "Spike, no. I just want to relax in the tub. Alone.
We can catch up when I'm done." Spike shrugged his shoulders. "Can't
blame a bloke for trying. Can I use your laptop?" Willow nodded and
Spike left. Spike flipped up her laptop and logged on to his e-mail
account. "Bloody hell! Why am I doing this?"

Poof,
I need a favor, I want to take a mortal as a mate. I need your
blessing, as you are my sire. I'll do it behind your back if I have
to. I love her. You don't need to know anything else.
Spike

"Bloody hell! Now he's going to want to know who and then he's going
to say no. Well, it's a bit late for that." Spike surfed around the
Internet while he waited for Willow to finish her bath.

Angel sat as his desk checking his e-mail. He saw the one from Willow
and started reading it. By the time he finished he was very concerned
for his young friend. Then he read the one from Spike. Everything
started to make sense. He could hardly wait until Willow called.
 

PART 7

Spike was sitting at Willows desk when she came into her room. She
went to her dresser and took out a T-shirt and a pair of boxers to
sleep in. She pulled the boxers on under her robe and then dropped the
robe and pulled the shirt on. Spike watched her the whole time. "Have
you been bored?" Willow climbed onto the bed with Spike and closed the
laptop. "A bit. I surfed around, checked my e-mail account, and
snooped through your closet." He gave her a mischievous grin. "Oh, did
you find anything interesting?" Willow knew he was lying to her but
decided to play along. "No, so how was your bath? You feel relaxed
now?"
Willow snuggled into Spike's chest. "Much better now. So, What was
Giles laughing about?" Spike tensed. "Not tonight luv. I don't want to
talk about the Watcher. I believe I promised you something earlier and
I always keep my promises." Spike leaned down and captured her lips in
a soft gentle kiss. "Spike, I just want to tell you that I haven't
made up my mind yet, so if we do this it doesn't mean that I'm saying
yes."
"I know luv, you'll tell me when you decide. Now be quiet." Spike
trailed kisses down her neck as his hand slid up under her shirt and
found her nipple. He rolled it between his finger and thumb. He lifted
her shirt up over her head and swept his tongue over each of her
nipples. The coolness of his mouth causing them to harden. He trailed
kisses down her smooth flesh stopping at the waistband of her boxers.
He pulled them off in one swift movement. As she lay there bared to
him he took his time in looking her over. < MINE! MY MATE! > "So
beautiful." Spike whispered so softly she almost didn't hear him. He
kissed her ankle and then her calf working his way past her knee and
up her inner thigh. Willow was in heaven, the feel of his mouth on her
skin was ecstasy. When he made his way to her center he stopped. He
blew across her curls sending shivers through her. Then he flicked his
tongue out and across her clit. Willow ached for him to touch her.
"Spike please." She begged. "Please what luv? I want to hear you say
it." Willow took a shaky breath. "Please make me cum." He sucked her
clit into his mouth and thrust a finger into her wetness. She moaned
in pleasure and ground herself into his face. Spike added another
finger and then another as he continued to suck and nibble on her
clit. She screamed his name as her muscles clamped down on his
fingers. Spike withdrew his fingers and licked them clean. He kissed
her hard and positioned his cock at her entrance. "Are you ready luv?"
he whispered in her ear before sucking her lobe into his mouth. "Yes!
Please Spike, I need you inside me now!" Spike thrust himself fully
inside her. She screamed out in pleasure. They moved together
perfectly, each instinctively knew what the other needed. Spikes fangs
slid into the mark he left on her neck in an act of claiming her
again. As her blood filled his mouth they both found release. They
slept wrapped in each others arms.

Willow woke up and carefully slipped out of Spikes arms. She slid her
robe on and slipped downstairs. After making a cup of tea she picked
up the phone and called Angel.
"Hello?"
"Angel, it's Willow."
"Willow! How are you? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah everything's fine. Spike is sleeping so I have to be quiet. I
need to tell ask you something about Spike. Can he love?"
Angle chuckled "Most definitely! Probably more than he should. Why do
want to know?"
"It's complicated. I think I'm in love with him. Please don't stake
him it's not his fault."
"Willow, I'm going to stake him. Tell me what happened, start at the
beginning don't leave anything out."
"It's a long story Angel, and it's not easy for me tell. Do I have to
give details? Cause I don't think I can do that."
"Just the facts will be fine. I don't think I need to hear the
details."

Willow told Angel everything that happened from the time she woke up
on the floor of that room right up until she called him. "Well? What
do I do? Angel I need help." Angel sighed. "That you do little one,
that you do."
 

PARY 8

"Spike told you most of it but he didn't tell you everything. Like it
or not, you are his mate. The only way that is going to change is if
one of you dies. And seeing as how you won't die as long as he lives
since you are a human it would have to be him that dies." Willow
gasped. "But he said that he wouldn't hold me to it since I didn't
know." Angel thumped his head on the desk in frustration. "He won't
hold you to it, but you will still be his mate and without you he'll
be miserable. Willow, did he bite you again the last time?" "Yes, why
does that mean something?" Willow heard thumping noises on the other
end of the phone. "Angel? What's that noise?" More thumping. "Nothing.
The first bite mated you to him and him to you. The second bite was
his way of reaffirming his claim to you. He feels insecure about his
bond to you. You are going to have to make a decision one way or the
other and soon." Willow put her head down. "Am I hurting him? I mean
because I haven't accepted our mating. Will it hurt him if I say no?"
Angel wished she hadn't asked him that. "Yes, you are. He loves you. I
shouldn't tell you this but he sent me an e-mail tonight just after
you did. He asked my permission to take a human mate. He also said
that he loves her and that was all I needed to know. He wouldn't ask
for my permission or admit his feelings to me if he didn't truly love
you Willow." Willow sat in silence as Angel told her all the things
she wished she would hear from Spike. "Why doesn't he tell me that? It
would be so much easier if he would just tell me he loves me."  "He's
afraid. Everyone and everything he's ever loved he's lost. You are
going to have to take the first step Willow." Willow nodded her head
before she realized that Angel couldn't see her. "Thank you Angel,
you've been a lot of help. I'm going to go back to bed now. Take care
of yourself." "You too little one. If you need me I'm always here for
you." Willow went back upstairs to bed. As she slid into bed Spike
rolled over and pulled her into his arms. "Love you pet." He mumbled
and then lay still. Those three little words made up Willows mind. She
would take her place as his mate. As soon as she decided to do it she
knew it was the right decision. She fell asleep with a smile on her
lips.

Willow awoke to an empty bed. "Spike? Where are you?" She got up and
pulled her robe on before heading down stairs. "Spike? Are you down
here?" she walked into the kitchen to find the coffee maker going but
still no Spike. "Where are you?" She poured a cup of coffee and took
it back upstairs to get dressed. "Stupid Vampire!" She muttered.
"Never one around when you need one!" She walked into the bathroom
deciding to shower before dressing. "AAAK!" "FUCK!" Willow and Spike
both started laughing. "I'm Sorry I spilled my coffee on you, I didn't
know you were in here and you scared me." "S'okay pet. I was just
about to get in the shower anyway. I didn't mean to scare you. You
kinda startled me a bit too." Spike turned the taps on and adjusted
the temperature. "So pet you want to watch me shower?" Willow shook
her head and undid her robe. "Nope, I thought I'd join you instead. I
still need a little convincing after all."

They stepped out of the shower 30 minutes later. "Not that I'm
complaining about the sex luv but is that all it is for you? I can
live with that but I need to know." Willow kissed him gently. "No. I
love you Spike. I woke up this morning and I wanted to tell you but
you weren't there. Then I found you in here all naked and the thought
of having you in the shower…I couldn't resist. I want to stay your
mate Spike. I am yours and you are mine." Spike pulled her into his
arms. "I love you too Willow. Forever. There are things I didn't tell
you, serious things. We need to talk." Willow pulled back. "Is this
the part where you tell me that I never really had a choice, and that
I will live forever as long as you do? Cause if it is, I already know
and I'm okay with that. I know you didn't tell me because you didn't
want to scare me." Spike just stood there with his mouth opening and
closing. "How, who, when. Where did you learn all that?" Willow smiled
at him. "Don't be mad but I talked to angel, he told me all about
Vampire/Human matings and their consequences." Spike's jaw clenched.
"So my Sire tried to talk you out of it, did he offer to come down and
stake me? Or did he want to sick Slutty on me?" Willow couldn't help
but laugh. "Spike! Angel was very understanding, he listened to me and
answered my questions. I told him that I love you. He accepts us as
mates." Spike was doing his guppy impression again. "I think we should
go see him. You two have some things to work out and I would love to
visit Cordy." She led Spike out of the bathroom.  "So he's really not
going to try and kill me?" Willow shook her head. "He's still your
Sire and he still loves you. Can we go to L.A. tomorrow?" "Sure pet
anything for my Wife."
