Atonement
by Murray
Chapter 45 Minutes Prior To Sunrise
Dawn had gone home some thirty minutes ago to leave the two lovers in peace. Even at the tender age of fifteen the romantic in her was secure in the knowledge that the two had finally come to grips with their destiny and love for one another.
Spike and Buffy refused to move from their spot on the ground. Content to lie in each other's arms. Just holding each other, a feeling of peace and happiness still washing over them, soothing them, healing them.
"If I had known getting a bleedin' soul would have landed me in the arms of the woman I love, pet, I would have done it along time ago."
Her warm breath mingling with his she said against his lips, "Just shut up and kiss me vampire."
"Your wish is my." The word "command" was lost as her lips closed the distance and found his once again. The kiss was less frantic but filled with a love she felt and no longer was afraid to hide from him.
Suddenly, he tensed up and she felt the change immediately as her lips left his, "Spike?"
"We have to go, pet." He pulled her with him as he stood and turned with her towards his crypt.
She could feel his anxiety, "What's wrong? Is it me?" She asked still insecure in her new found happiness. Her voice trembled slightly, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Cor, Slayer, you could never do anything wrong, it's just sunrise in one minute. I would rather get out of its way then flame if it's all the same to you."
Her heart lightened at his words, "Sorry, just my girlie insecurities getting in the way." Together hand in hand they made it to his crypt as the first rays of the new day touched them both. They moved quickly through the heavy metal crypt door. It was then that she noticed the shaft of morning sunlight striking him in the back. She slammed the door shut behind them and just looked at him in awe as it registered that the sun had done no damage.
"Spike, what else did that demon do to you?"
Turning to her and seeing the look on her face he answered. "Buffy, I told you he returned my soul to me as far as I know that was it, why are you asking that now?"
"Because the sunlight didn't hurt you."
"Pet the sunlight didn't hurt me because we made it back here just in the nick of time."
"No, baby we didn't." She went to him and put her arms protectively around him. "I saw it bathing you in the light as we went through the door."
"That can't be, Buffy, you know I can't survive the light of day. Your imagining things." H touched his forehead to her own saying softly; "I know you deserve better then me. You deserve to walk in the sunlight with the man you love. If I could give you that, I would do it in the proverbial heartbeat, but the soul package didn't come with that option." The next he said with a hint of self-anger in his voice, "I am still a bloody demon who walks like a man."
"Look at me." She said as she took his face lovingly in her hands. "You are what I deserve. I deserve to be with a man who loves me for myself, who accepts me for what I am and won't leave me when times get hard. I deserve that. I deserve you. If that means I have to share you with the demon, then I am finally prepared to deal with that."
His voice choked with emotion he replied as best he could, "Buffy I love you so much. I just don't know if I am good enough to prove that to you. I don't ever want to hurt you again. The thought of doing that to you scares me. I want to do the right thing for once in my bloody life, I want to do what is right."
She felt her heart swell with love for him and started kissing his face and lips desperately. In between each kiss she said over and over again. "I love you, I love you, I love you. Just trust me to help you like I trusted you to help me. Can you do that for me baby?"
His reply was a nod, his heart and soul soared with her proclamation of love for him, as he crushed his lips to hers his tongue seeking out the inside of her hot mouth. She immediately granted him entrance as he pulled her roughly to him, trying to merge their two bodies together. She franticly pulled at his clothes as he did the same to hers their lips never losing contact with each other. Hands as if with a life of their own found buttons, snaps and zippers as clothing seemed to melt away and still it wasn't fast enough for her liking.
She ripped his shirt from his alabaster chest, her mouth trailing a hot wet path down his chin, neck, and chest until she kneeled at his feet and sucked at his belly button. His hands on her head as he gasped out in pleasure his eyes closing tightly his breath beginning to come in pants.
She roughly undid his pants and pulled them down his legs, kissing and licking her way along each exposed inch of flesh she could get her mouth on. He thought he would combust with the pleasure she was causing him as she took the tip of his manhood in her mouth and flicked the point of her tongue over it. Tasting his salty wet seed that had gathered around the tip.
"Buffy." he moaned as she applied more pressure to the crown of his penis and sucked harder taking him deeper into her mouth, until she sucked him deep into the back of his throat. Tasting him like she had never tasted another. For in truth she had never tasted another like she did him. In the past all the times they had had sex it was just that, sex, desperate frenzied hard passionate sex.
This time she wanted more. This time she wanted to make love to the man she loved with her whole being. Her mouth moved up and down on him the flat of her tongue caressing his organ, feeling the veins stand out as she sucked as much pre cum out of it as she could.
Finally he couldn't take it any more and his hands moved down to under her arms and he lifted her off him and pulled her roughly up his body till his lips claimed her own. His tongue finding hers as he licked at it tasting himself on her, his hands gripping the center of her shirt he ripped it off her. He had to feel her warm hot naked flesh against his own. His hands finding the clasp of her bra he undid it and let it fall from her shoulders pressing her naked hot chest to his own cool one in comparison to hers. He trailed kisses down her face, his tongue licking her tasting the vanilla scent of her. He could hear her ragged intake of much needed air as his mouth closed around her right nipple and he sucked it hard biting it as he tugged it with his blunt teeth.
She cried out his name as she pressed his head closer to her, forcing more of her breast into his mouth. His right hand traveling a hot path down her body as she separated her legs silently begging him to touch her, in her short life no one had ever turned her on this much. She thought if he didn't touch her she would die. "Please, baby, please." The words ripped from her throat as if she was in pain.
Knowing what she wanted, he complied and slipped his index finger along her slit, finding it wet and open for him. He slipped a finger inside her as she moaned in pleasure and her body shivered from his touch. She felt herself crash like a wave upon the sand as he thrust two fingers in and out of. Her head going back as her eyes opened wide unseeing, she came in waves, his name upon her lips as tears filled her eyes. She was so turned on she thought she was dying from the pleasure, it was so intense it was almost painful and again she knew no one could ever make her feel like he did.
Slowly he lowered them both gently to the floor as he licked down her body. He had to taste her, she was soaked, and he felt her body shudder again and again as his fingers had worked their own special magic inside her. Slowly licking his way downward past her flat stomach to the rich brown curls that hid her treasure she arched up towards his mouth and begged him to continue.
His mouth found her open slit and with the flat of his tongue he licked her from the bottom of her slit to its tip finding her clit he sucked it greedily into his mouth and softly with his blunt teeth bit all around it as she screamed out her pleasure, bucking her hips upward trying to force more pressure against her core as she came over and over tears pouring down her face as she crying out his name.
"Please." She moaned crying out. "I.need." Her voice gave out as he stuck the tip of his tongue inside her and again arched pressing against him as she flooded against his mouth crying out in joy. He lapped up her juices as fast as she produced them tasting what he knew was ambrosia of the gods.
She collapsed in a heap as he continue to lick and suck at her.slowly he crawled up her body and her mouth captured his greedily tasting herself on him. Her right hand crept weakly down his body and grasped his hard penis. Positioning it so she could force him inside her. She lined the tip up with her soaked flesh as he thrust hard inside her.He needed to feel her surrounding him, tightening around him. He needed it now and she answered him moaning and crying against him. The pleasure of him penetrating her to the core too much she came again around him squeezing him hard. She clenched around him again and again as her hips rose and fell in opposite of his. It was too much he cried out her name as he came filling her with his seed. Grinding against her his coarse hairs teasing her over sensitive clit with each hard thrust his penis twitching inside her as he came answering her own orgasm.
They crashed together calling out to each other and held each other afraid to let go of the moment. Each loving each other in a way they had never known love before. Slowly they stopped thrashing against one another and held each other tightly. Their bodies still locked together. Neither letting go, she stroked his head as he laid it against her breast. She kissed the top of his head as he licked at one of her nipples and playfully bit it. She shivered in response and squeezed his still hard penis buried deep inside her.
Pulling himself up on his elbows he cradled her face in his hands and with this thumbs wiped away her tears. "What's this love, did I hurt you?" He asked his voice full of gentle concern.
She started to laugh and with each laugh he felt her squeeze him as she finally calmed against him and said in a playful voice, "I'm happy you jerk."
He smiled into her face and kissed her gently. "Do you always cry when you're happy?" He said softly as he peppered her face with kisses.
"Maybe." she said shyly. "I never experienced anything like that before, Spike. No one has ever made me cum like that."
A bit of his old arrogance crept into his playful voice, "And no one ever will pet. We belong together." Again his lips claimed hers as she claimed his.
She knew without a shadow of a doubt this is where she belonged here with him. She knew he was the one that would never leave her. She knew he was the one she was meant to love. She lay in his safe embrace and slowly drifted off to sleep on the cold crypt floor. Her last thoughts were of him and coming home as the warm embrace of sleep claimed her exhausted body.
Feeling her drift to sleep he disentangled himself from her and stood up bringing her with him. He walked over to the whole in the floor that led down to his bedroom and somehow managed to maneuver them down the ladder and placed her on the bed. He crawled in behind her spooning her and holding her, her own arms covering his as she sought him out in sleep and pressed further against his warm protective embrace.
He followed her into sleep knowing peace after 120 some odd years.
In another time and place, separated by the fabric of dimensions, two beings looked in on the sleeping couple. They were dressed in what looked like togas from an age gone by centuries ago. Their skin was golden and each bore a smile upon his and her face.
The female turned to the male a knowing smile on her face, "It is almost time brother."
He smiled at her in turn and simply said, "As it was written so long ago, the warrior of the light shall find her way to the warrior that was once of the dark and the two shall join together. Their union shall save mankind from the forces that once separated the two."
