"Something is wrong." Willow whispered as she and
Angel made their way back up to the lobby several
hours later. "It's going to be sunrise soon, and
Spike isn't back."
Angel's calm face belied the rising fear he felt at
the thought of something having happened to his blonde
childe. "We have to find him," he replied.
Willow felt the tension rolling off her sire and was
suddenly worried. "It's my fault, Angel. I shouldn't
have said anything to him."
"No, it's not. I'm his sire, he's my responsibility.
I let my jealousy overcome my better judgment." Angel
sighed heavily. "But we can worry about that later.
We have to find him."
Willow nodded and followed her sire out into the
fading darkness. "Where do you think he would have
gone?" she asked, scanning the street quickly.
"I don't know." Angel closed his eyes and tried to
reach out through the bond he shared with Spike. He
staggered backwards suddenly, overcome by the wave of
desperation he'd felt reflected through the bond. "We
have to hurry," Angel said, sprinting off, no longer
bothering to hide his panic.
It was Willow who spotted him first. Spike was leaned
up against a building, his eyes closed as a cigarette
hung from his lips. He seemed to be humming to
himself. "Angel, there," she called.
Angel looked in the direction of her finger and
sprinted towards Spike. "What the hell are you
doing?" he demanded jerking Spike to his feet. "It's
almost sunrise."
Spike shook the dark vampire off. "Wanted to see if I
remembered what dawn looked like," he spat. "What do
you care?" Spike's lips curled back in a grin. "From
the smell of things, I'm surprised you two could come
up for air long enough to notice I was missing."
Both Willow and Angel cringed at that comment. He was
right. They should have noticed him missing hours
ago. Willow silently berated herself for letting him
leave at all. "Spike, we don't have time for this,"
Angel barked, trying to drag Spike towards cover.
"Of course not!" Spike yelled. "You don't have time
for anything but each other!"
"Not now, Spike," Angel growled.
"Not now, Spike," Spike mimicked. "Not ever. No time
for your blonde childe anymore. Too busy with your
new childe to care about me."
Angel was at a loss. He didn't have time to argue
with Spike, not with the sunlight already beginning to
filter down into the City of Angels. But Spike was
obviously not going to let it go. Angel contemplated
knocking the blonde out and dragging him to safety
when Willow suddenly threw herself at the blonde.
Willow wrapped her arms around Spike, pressing her
small form to his with all of her strength. She
plastered her lips to his, her tongue thrusting
against his mouth until he allowed her entrance.
Willow plundered his mouth with her tongue, slicing it
on Spike's emerging fangs. Spike moaned into her
mouth as he tasted her blood for the first time.
The blonde was stunned by the redhead's actions. One
minute he was yelling at his sire, filled with anger
and hate. The next minute, he found the soft cool
body of the redhead pressed against him. Willow's
breasts were mashed against his chest as she held him
impossibly close. Her tongue pushed against his lips,
exploring his mouth as he finally parted his lips.
Spike could feel his demon emerging as the redhead
continued her assault. As she sliced her tongue on
his fangs and her blood spilled into his mouth, Spike
couldn't control the groan that escaped him. His cock
sprang to life and he wrapped his arms around the
redhead, reluctant to let her go.
He growled softly when Willow pulled away, taking
Spike's calloused hand in her own small one. She gave
him a wicked smile as the scent of her arousal washed
over him, then turned to face Angel.
"We'll never make the hotel on the streets," Willow
said. "You know the sewer systems?" she asked Angel.
Angel nodded, his own glazed expression matching that
of his blonde childe. "Go!" Willow barked. "Lead the
way."
Angel found it difficult to run with his raging hard
on, but he managed to get them into the sewers just as
the first rays of sunshine hit the street where they'd
been standing. He glanced at Willow and Spike, their
hands still firmly clutched together. Angel had seen
a lot of things in his unlife, but nothing had aroused
him as much as seeing Willow and Spike together. He
could only imagine how beautiful they would be naked
together in his bed. But first, they had to make it
back to the hotel.
Angel led the way quickly through the tunnels as
Willow and Spike trailed behind him. Spike stumbled
as the redhead dragged him along, his thoughts even
more confused than they had been before. He couldn't
remember the last time he'd been kissed with that much
passion. If the redhead hadn't stopped, Spike would
have shagged her right there in the street, sunlight
be damned. He was also pretty sure he'd seen Angel
shoot a look of pure lust in both of their directions.
What had just happened back there?
Willow could tell that both of her companions were
currently lost in thought. And while Willow knew that
there was a time and place for thinking and talking,
she had no intention of that happening in the
immediate future. She was too turned on by Spike's
kiss to sit and hold an intelligent conversation. And
as Angel had shown her again and again, sometimes
actions spoke louder than words.
They finally emerged at the hotel, sliding open the
door to Angel and Willow's room. Spike hesitated at
the doorway for a moment, the combined scents of his
sire and the redhead filling his senses. Willow
released the blonde's hand and strode directly towards
the bathroom. "I need a shower," she said beginning
to strip off her clothes. Both Angel and Spike stared
as the redhead exposed her creamy white flesh, too
stunned to do anything else. When she was completely
naked, Willow turned around to smile at the
open-mouthed vampires. "Does anyone want to join me?"
she said sweetly. She turned her back, chuckling at
the sound of shoes and clothes being thrown to the
floor.
Spike was the first to reach Willow, pressing his hard
lean body against hers as she stopped at the edge of
the tub. Willow moaned at the feel of his hard cock
pressed against her ass, his strong hands gripping her
hips almost desperately. "Kiss me again," Spike
whispered. Willow turned to face the blonde and
wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed him
softly on the lips before deepening the kiss. The
ridges of his face pressed against her as Spike
returned her kiss with a desperate hunger.
The sound of running water distracted the pair
momentarily. Two pairs of yellow eyes turned to see
Angel standing beneath a cascade of water. "You
wanted to shower?" he said, his eyes dark with lust.
Willow smiled at Angel before returning her gaze to
Spike. She watched the blonde vampire's eyes sweep
over his sire, a serious expression on his face.
Angel glanced at the redhead, unsure for a moment if
she would be comfortable with seeing the two males
together. She smiled and pushed Spike gently towards
the dark vampire.
Angel growled at the feel of his wayward childe's lean
hard body pressed against his. He tilted his head and
kissed Spike furiously, tongues dueling for dominance.
He clutched the blonde's head, holding him in place
as he explored the forgotten recesses of his favorite
childe's mouth.
Spike could hardly believe what was happening. It had
been so long since he'd been with his sire, so long
since Spike had felt the power of the bond they
shared. Small hands trailing up the blonde's back
reminded Spike that they were not alone, however. He
broke off Angel's kiss to turn and face the redhead.
She stared up at him for a moment, a slight smile on
her lips. With one hand, she traced the ridges of his
face, eliciting a soft growl.
He was so beautiful. Willow was still sometimes
amazed that the face that once frightened her could be
so irresistible now. She continued tracing the ridges
of his face for a moment longer before Spike jerked
her hand away and kissed her roughly. He pushed her
backwards until she hit the tile wall of the shower
and held her firmly in place. Willow groaned at the
feel of Spike's erection pressed against her stomach,
her senses completely filled with the blonde. She
felt Angel's hands on her shoulders, surrounding both
of his childer in his embrace. As Spike released her
lips, a silent look was exchanged between Angel and
Willow. They had come close to losing the blonde
earlier, and now it was time to prove to him just how
much he was desired.
