Buffy Connor kissed a white rosebud leaving a image of crimson lips on one of it's petals. She lightly laid it on the tomb Liam. She held her hand to the cold marble.

Wesley Giles came up behind her. “Angel, I want you to know your standing in the family will not change.” Wesley whispered.

Buffy nodded “Yes Godfather I know. Liam always said if anything ever happened to him you would take care of me. I know you have never broken your word.” Buffy said. Wesley guided Buffy to the black Lincoln Sedanca de Ville Liam had just bought her for their second year anniversary. They were about to enter the car when Buffy saw the police car pull up.

“Of all the nerve.” Wesley muttered.

Buffy looked glared at the car then turned to Johnny her bodyguard. “Johnny I wish to go home without speaking to my Uncle.” Buffy ordered. Johnny nodded. Wesley helped Buffy into the car then himself.

Johnny closed the door and walked over to the car. Police Commissioner Tony Merrick jumped out. “Out of my way grunt I want to see my niece!” Tony demanded.

Johnny and to other guards stood in front of the Commissioner.

“Mr. Merrick, Mrs. Connor does not want to see you.” Johnny said coldly.

“I need to speak to her!” Tony screamed. “What would make you think she would want to after you suffed out her husband.”

One of the other guards said. Johnny looked at the guard.

“Stay out of this Skinny.” He said.

Skinny took a step back continuing to stare at the Commissioner.

“Mr. Merrick, I suggest you make an appointment with Mrs. Connor’s social secretary.” Johnny stated.

“She won’t agree to see me.” Tony replied.

“Then Mr. Merrick I suggest you stop trying. Mrs. Connor has just come out of mourning best not to push her.” Johnny said.

Defeated, Tony stood by his car. The Giles guards got into the car and droVe off. Wesley looked at Buffy.

“Perhaps it’s best you make peace with your Uncle he is after all family, Angel.” Wesley suggested.

“ He stopped being family the night he killed my husband the only family I have now is the Giles Family.” Buffy said lighting a cigarette and taking it to her red lips.

Wesley smiled to himself secretly pleased with her answer. “We are havng a gathering at the dinner club tonight. I would like you to be there.” Wesley said. Buffy nodded.

A few minutes later the car stopped in front of a large mansion.

“Should I send Oz to escort you?” Wesley asked.

“No thank you Wesley I will just go with Xander and Legs.” Buffy stated.

“Very well Angel. We will see you tonight then. We have a new addition to our family he is in the south sea importing business a great asset to us.” Wesley said.

“Then definitely I will be there.” Buffy said putting out her cigarette and putting away her holder.

She kissed Wesley’s hand and said

“See you soon Godfather.” Johnny opened the door for her and followed her into the house. Wesley guards got into this car with him and droVe away.

Buffy walked in and saw Anya sitting there painting. Buffy laughed to herself ever since Xander asked Anya not to headline at the club Anya has been going nuts trying to find something to occupy her.

''Hey there.'' Buffy said. Anya smiled.

''You got more flowers today. Someone else sending their regrets.'' Anya said quietly.

Buffy nodded and walked out into the foyer. She looked and saw a basket of daisies sitting there.

Only one person would send here daisies, Drucilla Travers. Buffy walked over to them and tore up the card. If she knew Drucilla she knew the card had said something vicious in it. She walked the flowers over to Johnny.

''Please donate send this over to the Children's hospital.'' Johnny nodded and walked out the door. Felling completely drained Buffy made her way up the long stair case and into the room.

Wesley entered his home and saw his wife and son sitting there. Winifred rushed over to Wesley and kissed him on the cheek. ''How was Buffy?'' Winifred asked concerned.

''Better, still devestated but better.'' Wesley said walking into the drawing room.

''I still can't believe her own Uncle would do such a thing.'' Winifred said shaking her head. Oz popped his head from around his paper.

''I do. Tony thought as long as Liam was alive Buffy would never leave the family. He thought if he got rid of him, Buffy would finally leave the organization.'' Oz said.

''That ridiculous Buffy has always been loyal to the Giles's married or not.'' Winifred said.

''It just goes to show we know Angel better than Tony.'' Wesley observed.

''Father, are you sure she will be all right tonight. I know it's customary in the family to wait three months and then make an appearance. Angel took Liam's death really hard Maybe we should give her more time.'' Oz mused.

Wesley shook his head. ''It's essential the other members of the family see her. Besides Angel already is determined to go.'' Wesley said.

Winifred smiled and hugged her husband. ''You know Angel once she sets her mind to something there's no stopping her.''

A few hours later

The club was in full swing. Willow Rosenberg walked around with her cigarette tray. She smiled brightly when she saw Buffy and Anya come her way. “Hey guys.” She said.

Buffy smiled and picked up a pack of cigarettes from Willow’s tray and left her a large tip. Willow looked at her friend concerned. “You o.k.?” Willow asked. Buffy nodded bravely. Anya put her hand around Buffy.

.
“It’s you first public appearance in three months sweetie if it’s to much. Xander won’t mind if I take you home.” Anya said.

“Who’s going home?” They heard behind them. The three girls laughed as Michael Harris Sr. A.k.a Smooths came up to them and put his arm around all of them.

“Hey Pops, quit making time with my wife!” Xander yelled across the room.

Anya rolled her eyes and laughed playfully.

“That would be the sound of my old man calling for you. See ya girls and Buffy if you change your mind let me know.” With that Anya walked over to her husband who quickly lead her to the dance floor.

Buffy watched as Winifred and Wesley dance along side of Xander and Anya.

Buffy tried not to get wistful. Mike nudged her.

“Wanna give an old man a thrill?” he said his arm crooked. Buffy put her arm in his and walked out onto the dance floor. They all danced around the lavished dance floor.

Dawn Ainsley rung her hands and looked at her brother frantically.

“What if my voice cracks?” Dawn asked.

Spike laughed

“You’ve sung this song all day you’ll be fine.” Spike said. Dawn straightened her brother’s tie.

“You meeting with The Giles's tonight?” Dawn asked.

Spike nodded

“Don’t worry sis it’s all under control.” Spike said smiling.

“Do you think Jenny and Rupert are tearing their hair out right about now? Their sister the flapper/entertainer and their brother the gangster.” Dawn laughed

Spike laughed with her. “Honestly don’t care what they think.” Spike said.

Dawn kissed her brother on the cheek. Suddenly the music started to fade. Dawn squealed in delight.

“Good luck sis!” Spike whispered.

Dawn ran onto the dark stage. The lights rematerialized. Suddenly Dawn was standing on stage Buffy took a seat next to Wesley and Oz. Dawn cleared her throat she closed her eyes and began to sing.

“Where are you
Where have you gone without me
I thought you cared about me
Where are you
Where's my heart
Where is the dream we started
I can't believe we're parted
Where are you??”

Buffy fought the tears in her eyes this was the song her and Liam first danced to. She got up and walked over to the bar to get a drink. Spike looked and saw her walking/ His heart started to pound as he watched the petite blonde haired girl Her black satin dress clinged to her as if it was poured onto her body. In a word she was breathtaking.

He deduced that this must be the legnedary Buffy "Angel" Connor. She had to be. So many men spoke of her the Giles's truthsayer. Gorgeuos and deadly. He took a step back.

"Bloody Hell! All she did was walk to the bar and you are coming undone. Get a hold of yourself Mate!" He said silently to himself.

“When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in Vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is my happy ending
Where are you??”

He continued to watch completely fascinated by even the way she light the cigarette and the end of her long holder. He watched as the bartender poured her a glass of champagne. The girl took the glass to her tiny lips and sipped lightly. She looked up and saw the man staring at her immediately Spike looked down.

“When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gaVe you my love
Was it all in Vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is that happy ending
Where are you
Where are you??”

The audience clapped. Dawn got off stage and hugged her brother. Buffy leaned over to the bar tender.

“Hey Joey who’s the new guy?” Buffy asked.

“That’s Spike Ainsley and that’s his kid sister Dawn. He’s the new associate of Mr. Giles” He said. Buffy nodded taking her drink and walking over to Oz.

Spike continued to watch Buffy. Dawn saw who he was watching.

“Whoa!! Cool it big bro. That’s Buffy Connor. You know as in the widow of Michael Liam Connor don’t think your getting anywhere near that girl.” Dawn whispered. Spike nodded, looked at her sister and said.

“Come on little girl let’s get you a drink and introduce you to my new clients.”…….

Same Night, The Travers Of Hearts Dinner Club, Eastside of Town

Drucilla stood at the bar watching the crowd. She watched as her husband made Riley Finn squirm in his chair.

Although The Travers dinner club was posh and elegant Drucilla knew as far as this city was concerned The Giles No Name Dinner Club would always be considered as the best. Something that made Drucilla's blood boil. She would never get over that night when her ex-lover Xander let Legs sing her set.

Drucilla had been to drunk to go on. Buffy pushed for the new comer to sing and Legs did well. So well Drucilla in a fit of anger left the speak easy and made a bee line for Travers's dinner club. Drucilla could still see the look on Xander's face when he walked in and saw Travers and Drucilla in bed together.

From that moment on Drucilla was banished from the Giles world. Although Travers had alot of money his associates would always be considered no good street rats where as the Giles were considered old money. Her biggest point of anger was her one time best friend Buffy. Without a minutes consideration Buffy cut her out of her life as well.

Drucilla walked up behind Travers and put one hand on his shoulder while in the other hand smoked a cigarette. Riley gulped hard.

“The Commissioner is furious he didn't know Liam was going to be at the raid. Angel won't even speak to him now. It's impossible I can't raid the Giles Club without solid proof the Commish would have my head.'' Riley explained.

Drucilla looked at him coolly. ''Then find a reason.'' She said walking away.

Travers smiled. ''You heard my wife. I don't pay you to make excuses. I pay you for results.''

The No Name Dinner Club

Buffy walked over to the table with Winifred and Anya. All the men stood up. Buffy smiled affectionately down at the men.

''Please don't worry about us. Smooths is going to tell us a story about his new racehorse. Why don't you all talk business. We'll be around again in a few to see if you need anything.'' Buffy said. All the men smiled at her. Wesley laughed to himself. Angel hadn't lost her touch the perfect mixture of elegance and perceived submissiveness. Every man at that table wanted a wife like Angel. Wesley next big headache was making sure no one tried to court Angel.

Winifred, Anya and Buffy walked away.

''How do you walk away so easily. I always want to stay and find out what's going on.'' Anya groaned. Winifred laughed

''You know Xander will tell you later Legs. Me on the other hand. They'd swallow razor blades before they talked in front of me.'' Winifred replied.

''It doesn't matter we'll know what to do if they need us.'' Buffy said. Willow came by and light Buffy's cigarette.

''So whose the gorgeous blonde with the blue eyes?'' Willow asked.

''That's Spike Ainsley.'' Winifred replied. ''What no nickname? Blue Eyes? Dreamy?'' Willow asked.

The girls laughed.

''No just Spike. However I believe his real name is William.'' Anya responded.

''He's in the south seas shipping business. Silks and stuff suppose to have some good stuff. Wesley is feeling him out.'' Winifred said.

Buffy nodded getting a glass of champagne.

She walked over to the table and looked at Spike. She seemed to get lost in his blue eyes for a moment.

''I thought you should have something to drink before these guys started in on you. It's from Wesley's private stash.'' Buffy said.

All the men laughed. Spike tried to keep his cool. The girl was absolutely beautiful. Her blonde hair was swept up in a small black hat. Her dress looked almost like a slip that went all the way down to the floor. Touching it lightly almost like it was teasing it. Her skin looked perfect and her lips were painted with a perfect red.

Spike had never seen any one girl look so beautiful. Spike tried to control his hand as he took the glass from Buffy. Doing his best to stay focused on Wesley, Xander and Oz he nodded and said thank you. Buffy smiled at him she looked up and began to frown.

''If you gentlemen will excuse me.'' Buffy said.

Quickly she walked oVer to a table and saw a rather large man pawing at a very drunk girl. Buffy recognized the girl to be Cordelia Finn. The man was a butcher by the name of Fats.

''Excuse me Fats but I think it's time for Cordelia to go home.'' Buffy said.

''Who the hell are you!!'' He yelled.

His face froze when he saw it was Buffy at the same time both Xander and Oz stood watching the large man.

''Angel I didn't know...'' Fats started. Buffy smiled ''No worries Fats. Let's just get Mrs. Finn in a cab and on her way home before her husband puts an all points out on her.'' Cordelia took another shot.

''I just came to see my sister in law sing. Wh...What's the big deal?'' Cordelia said her words slurring.

Dawn gasped.

Spike excused himself from the table. He walked over and hugged his sister.

''She did great didn't she?'' Buffy said smiling over at Dawn.

''Why don't you go home and tell Riley??? All right??'' Buffy suggested picking Cordelia up.

''Riley will be home soon.'' Cordelia whispered.

''Yes and he'll want to know your safe.'' Buffy said.

''Will you take me tonight Angel?'' Cordelia asked.

''Sorry Cordelia not tonight but I'll get Skinny too all right?'' Buffy said Cordelia nodded as Skinny carried her out of the club.

Buffy walked over to Spike and Dawn.

''You two all right?'' She asked. Dawn nodded. Spike looked at his sister.

''You didn't tell me she'd be here. You know I am trying to avoid them.'' Spike scolded.

Buffy looked at the already shaken girl.

''I am sure Dawn just wanted all the support she could get. Dawn, why don't you hang out with Winifred, Willow, Legs and I. Spike, the guys are waiting for you don't worry I'll take care of Dawn.'' Buffy said sweetly.

Spike looked at his sister after a long moment he nodded and walked back to the table the men all resituated themselves. Spike looked back at Buffy who seemed to be helping Dawn adjust.

He turned to Johnny and said. ''She handled that whole thing like a pro.'' Johnny smiled

''Yep, that's why we call her Angel.'' He said. Wesley cleared his throat.
''Gentlemen back to business...''

10:00 AM Happy Cup Cafe, Southside of town.

Oz looked down at his coffee. The door opened Oz looked up and saw Willow Rosenberg walk in. He sighed with relief.

''Relax Kid, it's only me don’t worry nobody followed me.'' Willow said.

''Sorry these meetings are just getting harder and harder to get to.'' Oz said. They heard a voice behind them.

''You can say that again.'' They bother turned around and saw Lorenzo ''Connor'' Abrams Jr. standing in front of them.

Oz smiled at his brother and hugged him tightly.

''Hey little bro.'' Oz said. Connor hugged him back.

''Hey Man.'' Connor aid quietly the three of them sat down.

Willow looked at the two guys.

''You know Angel knows don't you she ain't stupid. I didn't say anything but she knows you to really don't hate each other.'' Willow said taking off her coat.

Connor and Oz looked at each other.

''Do you think she is going to rat us out?'' Oz said. Willow shook her head

''No, as long as you don't flaunt it in front of her face her mouth will stay shut.''

Willow said sipping the coffee that was placed in front of her. Oz looked at his brother and smiled.

''Mom misses you. She wishes she could see you more. She's proud of you though little bro.'' Oz said Connor smiled shyly.

''Yeah I wish my Dad was.'' Connor said quietly.

''Don't be to hard on him. If I told Wesley I wanted to be a doctor and get out of the business he would probably act the same way as Parker.'' Oz stated.

Willow watched him she was so amazed by Oz. On one hand he could order the execution of some no good hood. On the other he could encourage his brother to stay true to himself. Willow's hand pounded as she watched him. Oz looked up at her and smiled.

''How's Angel doin?'' Oz asked. Willow smiled and said ''Good she's ready to be The Giles Ambassador again. For a while with the loss of the Liam and the baby...''

Oz and Connor looked up at her shocked at the same time they said

''Baby???!!!''

Willow sat back.

''You guys didn't know??? I thought Wesley would have told you. She was going to tell Liam she was pregnant the night Liam died. When she found out who killed him she couldn't handle it.'' Willow said quietly.

''That explains a lot I didn't think Angel would completely excommunicate her Uncle the way she did.'' Connor said.

''As if murdering her husband wasn't enough right?'' Oz said shaking his head.

Dawn sat in the drawing room of the penthouse she shared with her brother crying her eyes out.

''I can't believe Cordelia did that to me.'' She cried.

Spike sat next to her and put his arms around her.

''She's really hurting Dawn. We both know what Riley can be like.'' Spike said. Dawn looked up at her brother with despair.

''Your not going to make me see Jenny and Rupert are you?'' Dawn asked.

Spike looked at his sister.

“Regardless of our views on things we are still family Dawn. After Mom and Dad died we’re all we have.” Spike said. If have to hear Rupert and Jenny dig into you one more time..” Dawn said.

Spike shook his head.

“Dawn, you know what I do isn’t legit. They have their opinion I have mine.” Spike stated.

“You mean we have ours.” Dawn said. “Right.” Spike said hugging his sister.

6:30 AM Southside of town.

Dawn Ainsley ran down across the street and into the corner store. The clerk was shocked to see her in her robe.

“Hi Sal I need a some eggs.” Dawn said. Sal smiled

“No problem Ms. Dawn.” He said. He quickly wrapped up six eggs Dawn ran out the door. Suddenly she bumped into someone. Her eggs flew out of her hands and onto the ground. She looked up and saw Connor Abrams standing in front of her wiping an eggshell off his expensiVe suit.

“OH NO!!” Dawn cried.

Connor just looked at her and laughed. Soon Dawn laughed with him.

“Thanks.” Connor said.

“For what?” Dawn asked completely confused.

“For finally helping me retire this monkey suit.” Connor said.

“It can be cleaned can’t it?” Dawn asked. “Yeah but I don’t want it to.” Connor said. He stuck out his hand and said.

“Connor Abrams.” Dawn smiled and said

“Dawn Ainsley.” Connor took a step back.

“Dawn Ainsley as in Spike Ainsley?” Connor asked.

Dawn thought for a second.

“Abrams as in Parker Abrams?” Dawn asked. Connor nodded.

“Then I guess the rules say we can’t talk to each other.” Dawn said quietly. Connor smiled at the girl slyly. Even in a robe and she looked beautiful.

“I was never one to pay attention to the rules.” Connor said.

Dawn smiled then gasped. She suddenly remembered Spike was probably still up. He would have her head if he knew she was out here especially if he knew she was talking to someone who could potentially become an adversary.

“I gotto go!!” Dawn said running pass Connor before he could say another word. He chuckled as he watched her run into the brownstone.

“Don’t worry Gorgeous, I’ll see you again soon.” He said.

Dawn ran into the house she screamed when she saw Spike calmly waiting in a chair.

“Sorry Spike I could explain.” Dawn said.

“I know we’re out of eggs but Dawn. You don’t have to run out in your robe to get them.” Spike said.

Dawn opened her mouth to say something when there was a knock on the door. Dawn opened the door and saw Sal standing there with a half a dozen eggs.

“Ms. Dawn you forgot these on the counter.” He said.

Dawn looked at him confused for a moment until she realized Connor must have gone in a bought her more.

“Thanks Sal.” Dawn replied. Dawn walked into the kitchen.

“Over Easy for me.” Spike said reading the paper.

Dawn looked out the window and saw Connor Abrams standing across the street. She waved at him as he bowed grandly and tipped his hat. Dawn turned around and started making breakfast for her brother.

3:00 PM

Dawn ran into Spike’s room. “SPIKE!! Get dressed someone is here to see you!” Dawn said breathless. Spike sat up in his bed.

“Tell them to come back later.” Spike mumbled.

The door to Spike’s room swung open a little more. Spike jumped out of bed and threw on his silk robe. Standing in his room was Buffy Connor dressed in a tight fitted white silk dress and matching boa. Her hair was swept up in a white hat.

Spike suddenly wished he had listened to his kid sister. his body jerked in response to seeing the woman that had consumed his thoughts for the last few hours. Late last night he even had to "treat" himself to a very cold shower when his thoughts drifted to her while he tried to get some sleep.

"Stay Cool." Buffy thought to herself.

Buffy tried not to ogle the man before her. In a word he was beautiful. His abs were well chisled. All she could think about has how it might feel in her hands. She continued to smoke her cigarette praying her hands weren't shaking.

” Now I could come back later but Wesley would not be pleased. You don’t need to entertain me long. I am just here to personally invite you to a party at Xander and Legs’s tonight. Wesley would love it if both you and Dawn could attend.” Buffy said taking a puff of her cigarette.

“I am sorry we can’t our sister is expecting us for dinner.” Spike said gulping hard. Dawn turned to her brother her eyes wide.

“I am sure we can reschedule with Jenny and Rupert!” Dawn argued.

Buffy smiled at Spike extremely amused and intrigued by him most people jumped at the mention of The Giles name. Spike however looked cool as a cucumber.

“Well Mr. Ainsley…”

“Spike” Spike’s voice squeaked out.

“Please call me Spike.” He said hoping his face wasn’t as red as it felt.

Buffy smiled again taking another puff of her cigarette. She leaned against the door.

“Well, Spike unless your sister and brother in law eat until 10:00 at night I believe both events can be accommodated. Your sister unlike us keeps daylight hours so I assume dinner will be done by 9:30 tops?? I will tell Wesley to expect the two of you by 10:15pm.” Buffy stated.

“I see Ms. Connor…”

“Angel” Buffy said,

“You can call me Angel everyone else does.” Spike nodded

“I see your very self assured.” Spike stated. Buffy smiled at him.

“Doing business with benefits everyone. I know your smart enough to see that or else you would have neVer met with Wesley in the first place. I am sure you could see that a little business socializing would be a good idea.” Buffy said.

Buffy stood up straight and turn around.

“See you tonight Spike.” She said walking away.

“Buffy.” Spike called out.

Buffy tried not to react to Spike calling her, her real name. She turned to him and smiled his blue eyes twinkled.

“Save me a dance,” Spike said teasingly.

Buffy put her hand on her hip.

“That’s a bit presumptuous don’t you think?” Buffy asked.

“So is thinking I’ll be there.” Spike said.

Buffy tried to hide her amusement she just smiled and said.

“Well here I thought tonight would be a bore. Mr. Ainsley I do hope you show up.” Buffy walked out of the brownstone.

Spike chuckled. Dawn looked at him worried.

“Spike, you’re playin with fire.” Dawn said.

“Have you ever seen someone so beautiful?” Spike asked still in a daze.

He snapped out of it and smiled at his sister trying to reassure her everything would be o.k.

“Come on sis let’s get ready for the inquisition.” Spike said. Dawn groaned remembering where they were going today.

“I don’t know what’s worse worrying about you or dealing with Jenny and Rupert….”

Spike looked over at his little sister. She looked as if she was being tortured as Jenny droned on and on about the evils of alcohol consumption. Spike squeezed Dawn's hand underneath the table. Rupert looked at Spike.

''So Spike how is business going?'' Rupert asked. Dawn rolled her yes.

''Rupert if you’re going to start in on Spike we are going to cut this short.'' Dawn said. Rupert laughed

''I guess that answers my question. You haven't giVen up that part of your business yet?'' Rupert said.

''Now Rupert I don't have a clue what your talking about. I run a legitimate shipping business.'' Spike replied. Rupert glared at Spike.

''May I have a word with you in private.'' Rupert asked. Spike moved the napkin from his lap and followed Rupert into the den. Dawn looked at her sister.

''Why does Rupert feel it necessary to bash Spike every time we come over?'' Dawn said exasperated.

Jenny looked at her sister.

''It's only because we care darling. Your life is really....''

''Evil, Vile, immoral. Please Jenny I do not want to get into this with you again. This is why I moved in with Spike. Spike has fought long and hard to get himself back on his feet after your husband threw him in jail.' Dawn spat out. Jenny sipped her coffee.

''Rupert only did what he thought was best for Spike.''

Rupert closed the doors to his study. ''Well?'' Rupert asked. Spike nodded

''I am in.'' Spike said quietly. ''Good. Now how long until Giles starts trusting you enough with the books?'' Rupert asked sitting in his desk.

''That's going to take a while Rupert.'' Spike said.

''If you want anything that will stick that's the way it's going to have to be.'' Rupert nodded.

''Dawn still think you were in prison all that time?'' Rupert asked. Spike nodded

''I hate lying to her though. She's been so supportive.'' Spike replied.

''We have been through this Spike the best way to protect both Jenny and Dawn is keep them in the dark.'' Rupert stated.

''I know.'' Spike said.

''Good keep me informed.'' Rupert said shaking Spike's hand. ''Well let's make this look good.'' Rupert said.

Rupert opened the door. Spike stormed out. ''Dawn we are leaVing.'' Spike said in a ''huff''.

''Spike be reasonable. You can see how this looks for both me and Jenny. I am the head of the department here in town and your sister's...''

''Don't bring Jenny into this!! We accept our differences. This is about you and your career. Your the head of the FBI department Rupert and it looks bad for you to have a brother in a questionable business.'' Spike argued.

''So you admit it's questionable.'' Rupert said.
''I've had enough Dawn let's go.'' Spike said.

Dawn quickly got up and got her wrap. Spike placed it around her shoulders.

''Spike please don't go we haven't even had dessert. I never see the two of you anymore. Please don't go.'' Jenny begged. Spike glared at Rupert. The two passed quick look of accomplishment to each other.

''I'm sorry Jenny. Take it up with your husband.'' Spike said walking out of their home.

Jenny looked at Rupert and hung her head down. ''Sweetheart I am sorry.'' Rupert said. Jenny walked oVer to her husband and hugged him.

'' I know Rupert but I can't lose them. They are all I the family I have left. Riley. won't even speak to us anymore.'' Jenny said.

''I know. Sweetheart, it will all work out for the best. I promise.'' Rupert said quietly.

''I promise.''

Dawn and Spike sat in the back seat of the car. Dawn looked at her brother. ''You all right?'' Dawn asked. Spike nodded looking out the window.

''Spike, don't let Rupert get to you.'' Dawn whispered.

''I know it Lil' Bit still bothers me a bit though. I just wish he would see my point of view on all this.'' Spike replied. Dawn put her head on Spike's shoulder.

''Why don't we go home and change we haVe enough time.'' Spike said.

''Why we look fine.'' Dawn said.

''You look beautiful little sister. I don't think I like my tux.'' Spike said. Dawn frowned

''Spike, tell me your going to be careful this isn't some dame you can romance. I've heard stories of men being killed for insulting Angel.'' Dawn said.

''I do not plan to insult her.'' Spike teased. Dawn hit him in the shoulder.

''Spike you know what I mean.'' Dawn. ''I know Dawn, but you have to trust me all right??''

A few minutes later Spike and Dawn pulled up to Xander and Anya's mansion. The got out of the car and walked into the foyer. Everything was decorated laVishly.

''Check out the digs.'' Dawn whispered putting her hand through her brother's already crooked arm. Spike laughed.

''Well if ya break anything by the end of the night I will probably be able to replace it.'' Spike muttered.

Dawn smiled at her brother.

They walked in and saw Winifred standing with Wesley. Xander and Legs crossed the room arms linked.

''Spike, good to see you here early.'' Legs said.

Spike smiled. Xander looked at Anya. Anya caught on immediately.

''Dawn, Red and Winifred are here. Spike do you mind if I steal her away?'' Anya said. Spike looked down at Dawn.

Dawn smiled up at him to assure him she really wanted to go with Anya.

''Not at all.'' Spike said.

He released Dawn to Anya and the two of them went off together.

''You two seem tight.'' Xander said.

''Dawn's young she doesn't know a lot. I keep my eye on her.'' Spike said.

''The Giles Family mirrors your feelings on that Spike. We take care of our own.'' Xander said.

''You can say that again.'' They both heard.

They looked up the staircase. Xander smiled while Spike stood their in awe. Standing there dress in a floor length royal blue satin dress was Buffy.

Spike carefully looked at her. Her white satin gloves went all the way up to passed her elbows. She extended her arm across the rail of the stair case holding a white feather fan in one hand. Spike watched the fan fascinated.

The tip of it seemed to play with her spaghetti strap. Spike eyes went up to her blonde hair that was curl with a blue feather sticking out of it. Buffy adjusted her diamond and sapphire bracelet and continued down the stairs. Oz met her on the bottom completely entranced by her.

''Angel beautiful as always.'' He said kissing her hand.

Buffy smiled than looked over at Spike.

Spike was always described as a cool cat. What was it about Buffy Connor that send him into a head spin every time he saw her? Buffy took Oz's arm and slinked over to Xander and Spike. She kissed Xander on the cheek and smiled at Spike.

''Mr. Ainsley how nice of you to come.'' She said reaching out her hand to shake his.

Spike shook it his eyes twinkled. The two of them seem to play this game were in front of everyone they were nothing but business but in private they flirted with each other mercilessly.

''Thank you. For your kind invitation.'' Spike said his eyes dancing.

Buffy pressed her lips together to keep herself from laughing. She looked and saw Wesley coming toward them.

''Angel, exquisite as always.'' He said. Buffy nodded

''Mr. Ainsley so good of you to join us.'' Wesley said. Spike nodded.

Buffy let go of Oz and smiled to all the men.

''If you'll excuse me. I want to see if Legs needs any help.'' Buffy said.

They all watched her walk away. Spike was the first to turn his attention back to Wesley.

''I read you proposal Mr. Giles it looks well put together.'' Spike said.

Wesley put his hand up.

''Let's not talk business just yet Mr. Ainsley I want to introduce you to the rest of my associates.'' Wesley said.

Spike nodded thinking ''Showtime here we go.'' Spike thought.

They called this the Giles initiation. Spike would be introduced to a bunch of Wesley's business associates and rated. As well as policeman who were on the take.

If anyone recognized him as a rat then both him and Dawn would be in danger. Good for him the only other person besides him that knew he was undercover was Rupert.

The hours seemed to fly by. Spike didn't know if he could take much more of the relentless subtle prying. He looked at Dawn who seemed to be having a wonderful time.

''Ignorance is bliss'' Spike thought.

Finally Wesley walked up to Spike.

''You have been so busy socializing you haven't been out to the deck yet. We have a great band playing out there.'' Wesley said guiding Spike out to the deck.

Spike thought back to the conversation he had earlier that day with Buffy. The bantering back and forth about the dance. It was common knowledge the last thing that needed to be done is successfully make it through a dance with Angel Connor without making advances or setting her sensitive radar in a negative direction.

Spike knew one word from the Angelic Mob Moll and he was history.

Buffy saw him come in and walked across the dance floor.

''Wesley, don't tell me this is the first time you've let him haVe a breath of fresh air.'' Buffy said.

Wesley smiled ''I am afraid so Angel.'' Wesley replied.

''Well then I think Mr. Ainsley deserves a dance.'' Buffy said seductively. Wesley watched Spike to see if he would bite.

Spike stood still waiting for Buffy to lead the way. Buffy watched him amused for a long moment then finally reached out her hand. Wesley smiled at Spike pleased. Winifred came up behind Wesley and said.

''He made it to the dance.'' Winifred said. Wesley nodded.

''Getting by Angel is the hardest test.''

Buffy lead Spike out to the dance floor.

''Still think I am being presumptuous?'' Spike asked quietly.

Buffy smiled up at him.

''I am impressed most people don't make it to me the first go round.'' Buffy said smiling.

''This is the part where you look me up and down and figure out if I am worthy to breath Giles air right?'' Spike said.

Buffy tilted her head and laughed.

Spike distanced himself away from her sexy body trying to keep her from hearing the pounding in his chest. Spike stared at her perfect crimson lips.

''You have no idea what world you’re getting yourself into. And your fine upstanding brother in law does pose a concern.'' Buffy said poking at him.

Spike knew what she was doing. Buffy was able to pinpoint his weakness. She knew it was his family. If he dismissed them she would she through that and if he was too protective she might suspect something.

Spike took a breath and said.

''I am not going to lie to you Buffy. My family means a lot to me after my parents dies my sisters were all I had. However, Jenny knows who I am and what I do. Does she approve, no does she accept it I don't know but she's my sister.'' Spike stated.

Buffy stared at Spike in a way he couldn't read. Buffy looked at him seriously.

''Family means everything to The Giles we respect that above everything else.'' Buffy said soberly.

''I know this is why I came to you first before I made the offer the Quinten Travers.'' Spike said bluntly.

A crooked smile swept across Buffy's face. ''So you reputation for being brutally honest proceeds you Mr. Ainsley.'' Buffy said.

Spike leaned into Buffy slightly and whispered in her ear.

''And what about your reputation Ms. Connor. Does it proceed you?''

Buffy felt a chill run down her entire body she looked into Spike's eyes. Suddenly she felt as if her body was on fire. Spike looked into her eyes.

''Mr. Ainsley. Are you going to make me wonder what your intentions are?'' Buffy asked.

Spike looked at Buffy and smiled at her playfully.

''As much as I can Buffy.'' He said He twirled Buffy around. As Dawn crooned a blues tune.

''If you can dish it, I can take it
Hmmmm, serve it to me right
If you can dish it, I can take it
I'Ve got to haVe it morning, noon and night''

Buffy smiled over at Wesley giving him the o.k.. Wesley looked as his wife.

''It seems as if we will be putting in a bid for Mr. Ainsley's services.'' Wesley said

Winifred smiled. ''Angel delivers again.''

Spike gripped Buffy's side a bit tighter. Buffy subtly ran her finger up Spike's neck. They two of them continued their subtle seduction as Dawn sang on.

''If I give it away, you think it's tough
If you can't take it, you're just a cream-puff
If you can dish it, I can take it
Just so you serVe it to me right!
I'Ve got to haVe it, just so you serVe it to me right''

Oz walked up to them and tapped Spike on the shoulder breaking Buffy and Spike out of there electrifying dance.

''May I cut in please?'' Oz asked.

Spike took a step back. Buffy took Oz's hand. They two of them continued to dance.

''So Father is happy that Spike will be doing business with us.'' Oz said.

Buffy smiled them put her head on his shoulder. Her eyes locked with Spike's one more time.

''Yes I am sure we should see some exciting new changes.'' Buffy said.

''If you can dish it, I can take it
Hmmmm, serVe it to me right
If you can dish it, I can take it
I'Ve got to haVe it morning, noon and night''..

Dawn stepped off stage. Willow clapped her hands loudly. ''Good for you girl.'' She said. Dawn smiled.

''What are you doing after this?'' Willow asked. ''Nothing much why?'' Dawn asked.

''Wanna go have some fun?'' Willow said her eyes twinkling with mischief.

''I'm in.'' Dawn giggled.

''Come on let's make a quick exit then.'' Willow said. Dawn grabbed her shawl.

Willow looked at Wesley as he nodded. ''Now let's see what his little sister is made of.''

11:30 Outside Of The Travers Of Hearts Dinner Club

Dawn walked out of the cab and immediately froze. ''Red, I can't go in there.'' Dawn gasps.

''Why? Wesley knows I come here a lot.'' Willow explained.

''No I can't my brother would kill me. His entire business revolves around whether or not The Giles puts in this bid. I won't go in it could jeopardize everything.'' Dawn said frantic.

''Whoa, your bro and you are pretty tight.'' Willow observed.

''Our parents died when I was a kid Spike is the only father I've ever really known.'' Dawn said. Willow nodded.

She could go back and tell Wesley now Dawn was secure.

''Then let's go to the No Name.'' Willow said.

Dawn sighed with and turned to hail a cab. She bumped into someone. She looked up and found herself staring at a pair of bright blue eyes.

''Connor Abrams'' Dawn thought.

''Fancy meetin you here gorgeous.''.....


Late That Night

Spike looked around The No Name for Dawn. Buffy walked up to him and handed him a glass of champagne.


“Would you not worry about Dawn? She’s with Red I am sure she will be here shortly.” Buffy said trying to soothe him.

Smoothes Harris walked up to the two of them.

“Welcome to The Eastside of town Mr. Ainsley.” Smoothes said raising his glass.

“I’ll second that.” Buffy said.

Spike smiled at the two of them. Wesley watched Spike.

Xander came up and sat next to him. “I just heard word from one of our people.

“Dawn Ainsley made it through her part of the initiation. She refused to go into The Travers Of Hearts Club.” Xander said lighting a cigar.

He exhaled and looked at Wesley.

“Nice, Ainsley’s supply?” Xander asked. Wesley nodded

“Yes the first of many. This partnership with Ainsley seems as if it will prove quite lucrative. I need you to be his mentor Xander. I do not trust anyone else. Mr. Ainsley can proVe to be a fine asset with the right guidance.” Wesley said.

Xander nodded.

Wesley looked at Xander concerned.

“I understand if you do not want to take this on with the passing of Liam. I am not completely heartless Xander. He was after all your brother.” Wesley said.

Xander shook his head and said.

“The two most important things in this world to Liam were Angel and this family. If he were here it would be him mentoring Spike. As his brother I see it as my personal duty to take his place. What about Oz though I don’t want to step on his toes.” Xander said.

“Oz has other concerns right now he needs to do some ground work for the future.” Wesley said taking a puff of his cigar.

Xander looked at Wesley he knew anytime Wesley said that it meant that person was looking to get married. Xander raised his eyebrow.

“To who?” Xander asked. Wesley looked in Buffy’s direction.

“Angel?” Xander said shocked.

“Not now Xander. It’s to soon after Liam’s death. I believe you will agree Xander it is important to keep Angel safe and with a trusted member of the family. There are people that still view her as a threat even though she has proved herself loyal.” Wesley said.

“I completely agree with you Wesley. I have worried about that also. I am just shocked I didn’t think Oz would agree.” Xander said.

“Liam was Oz’s best friend. He wants to see Angel well taken care of. If she marries Oz she will be above the code and no one will ever question her loyalty again,” Wesley stated matter of factly.

“I completely agree with you Wesley. It is the best thing we can do for her and Liam would want it that way.” Xander said.

“So as her family you are giving your approval?” Wesley asked. Xander nodded.

Wesley and Xander shook hands sealing Buffy’s fate.

Johnny came up to Wesley. “Riley Finn is upstairs he is raiding the club again.” Johnny said.

“Damn it Commissioner Merrick must want to see Angel bad. Get the girls out of here.” Xander ordered.

By then it was to late a bunch of police officers came storming in. Spike instinctively grabbed Buffy and ran for the exit. Buffy jerked the other way.

“No here!!” Buffy says they make a sharp left and go down the hall instead of the exit. Buffy pushed on the left wall the wall opened a bit Buffy lead the way in as Spike followed. The opening closed back up.

“The cops are expecting everyone outside. My Uncle will look for me outside if he can’t find me in here.” Buffy whispered.

Spike nodded as he was pressed onto her.

“Sorry the space is only meant for one person. I’m small so I figured we could both fit.” Buffy said. Spike nodded.

“Don’t worry Dawn is fine.” Buffy said. Spike laughed,

“Now how did you know I was thinking about her?” Spike whispered. Buffy smiled

“You’re the typical big brother you’re going to worry.” Buffy said. Spike smiled “What if I told you I was thinking about something else?” Spike said quietly.

“Like what?” Buffy asked. Spike’s right hand dropped the small of Buffy’s back. He ran his thumb back and forth. Spike pulled his head forward.

“Like the fact that I finally have a chance to have you completely to myself.” Spike said his face so close to hers that his lips almost touched her as they talked.

Buffy’s heart began to race.

She fought with herself mentally trying to get her pulse back to normal.

“Mr. Ainsley I believe you are being presumptuous again.” Buffy said tilting her head giVing Spike the impression that she was going to kiss him.

Spike ran his hand up Buffy’s arm sending chills down her spine. He lifted hand from the small of her back and put it right below the pit of her arm. The other hand went to the back of her neck.

“You’re a captive audience Ms. Connor.” Spike whispered. He began to massage the back of her neck.

Buffy didn’t know what was happening his touch made her feel dizzy. Spike watched as Buffy closed her eyes and tilted her head back in his hand. Buffy moaned involuntarily. Spike couldn’t take it anymore.

First he kissed her lightly on her lips and pulled back. Buffy her eyes were still closed her body betrayed her and leaned forward begging him to kiss her again. Spike leaned in again and kissed as deeper this time. He pulled back again. Buffy opened her eyes. Spike had every intention to stop. But the passion in her eyes moved him.

Before he knew it his mouth had found hers again. His hand on gripped her side gently. Suddenly they heard a voice yell.

“It’s clear.”

Buffy pulled away from him. And straightened herself up. She walked put of the opening. Spike followed shortly after her. Xander walked out to Spike.

“Your Uncle left when he couldn’t find you. Thanks for watching out for Angel, Spike.” Xander said. Shaking his hand.

“No problem.” Spike said. “I am going to go check on Winifred and Legs.” Buffy said walking away. Spike watched her leave.

“You all right man?” Xander asked.

“Fine I am just worried about my sister.” Spike said.

Connor Abrams drove by The No Name.

“Looks like there was a raid. I had better get the two of you home instead.” He said looking at Red and Dawn. Dawn looked at Connor confused.

“Why are you being so nice to us?” Dawn asked.

“Besides the fact that it will drive Oz nuts to know his father’s new headliner is with me. I don’t like to see beautiful ladies in distress.” Connor said.

“So your brother doing business with The Giles?” Connor asked.

“You can drop me off here.” Dawn said.

“Why?” Connor asked pulling over.

“Mr. Abrams, I will not betray my brother’s trust for a ride in a car.” Dawn said getting out and slamming the door.

“Good night!” She said.

Willow followed her out and smiled.

“Good for you.” Willow said. “You passed.”

Dawn looked at her confused. “Passed?” she asked.

Willow nodded.

“Come on I will explain on the way back to your place.”

Connor watched Dawn though the rear View mirror. “See you soon gorgeous.”

The next day Spike rang on the Harris mansion door. One of the serVants answered it. “Hello, Mr. Ainsley. May I help you?” He said.

“I want to see Mr. Harris now.” Spike growled.

“Both Mr. And Mrs. Harris are not home they went up north on a business trip with Mr. And Mrs. Giles” The servant said.

“Thank you. I will just have to talk to Oz then.” Spike said.

“Mr. Oz Giles is also with them.” Spike ran his fingers through his hair.

“Fine then tell them I called on them and inform them to contact me as soon as they get in.” Spike said.

“Very well sir.” He said.

“Is there something I can help you with?” They both heard.

Spike watched as Buffy walked up to the door.

“Yeah you can tell your family to stay the hell away from my sister!!” Spike yelled.

Buffy sighed.

She looked at the servant and said. “Gerard, I will handle it from here. Why don’t you and the rest of the staff take the day off? Tell the guards.”

Gerard nodded. Gerard knew what that meant. If Buffy could not get him to calm down the deal would be null and void and the guards would have to remove Spike from the premises. Xander always made sure none of the staff knew things that could incriminate them or him.

Buffy briskly walked up the stairs. “I take it Dawn informed you of her test.” Buffy said getting to the first floor.

“Who do you think you people are testing a naive girl!? What would haVe happened to her if she failed?” Spike asked angrily.

“It doesn’t matter because she didn’t” Buffy said opening a door.

Spike looked around and saw that they were in a dark room for film developing. The room was narrow with a shelf against the back wall and a small sink in the corner. On a table in front on him were three tubs. Buffy turned on a red light and started mixing solutions together.

''Close the door before you ruin my pictures.” Buffy said.

Spike slammed the door closed.

“What if she failed?” Spike asked again. Buffy turned around.

“Mr. Ainsley, I thought you understood that your life as you know it will be different from this point on your doing business with The Giles Family certain trusts must be established. Red told me your sister was more than thrilled she passed the test.” Buffy said.

“The point is Dawn doesn’t understand what is going on I do not want her involved!” Spike yelled.

“Then you’re in the wrong business Mr. Ainsley. Dawn will be involved no either deal with it or get out!” Buffy said.

She tried to walk pass Spike and out the room. Spike put his hand out blocking her way.

They both looked at each other and began to calm down.

Buffy looked into Spike’s eyes.

“Spike, let’s not sugar coat this anymore all right? You’re doing business with the mob now. This means your going to be a target. Your older sister is fine no one is going to touch her because of Rupert. Dawn however will be targeted the more she knows the safer she will be. I promise you The Giles Family will protect her. We just needed to make sure where her loyalties lie.” Buffy said.

“Her loyalty lies with me.” Spike said.

“As she proved last night. And you proved yourself to us last night too. So please don’t be stupid. This business venture with prove beneficial for everyone.” Buffy said.

Spike looked down and nodded. Buffy smiled. Spike smiled back. “Do you always get your way?” Spike asked.

Buffy laughed, “Wesley says I have a gift for negotiations.” Buffy said.

Spike smiled seductively. That isn’t your only gift.” He whispered. Buffy’s heart started to pound.

“Spike about last night.” Buffy whispered.

“I hope you know that could never happen again.” Buffy said her voice getting husky.

Spike moved turning his body pinning Buffy to the wall. Buffy looked and saw she was trapped between the wall and Spike’s arms.

“I don’t know what came over me. Maybe I had too much to drink.” Buffy whispered.

Spike lowered his head. “That must have been it.” Spike whispered his lips brushing lightly against hers.

“So it can’t happen again Luv?” Spike said his hand finding the small on her back again. Spike looked down at her mouth.

“No it can’t” Buffy said weakly. Spike other hand grabbed the side of her face.

“I understand.” Spike said. He leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.

“Spike don’t” Buffy said weakly.

Spike kissed her neck. Buffy closed her eyes. Her body betrayed her again responding to his touch. His hands found her face and kissed her again deeply. Spike pulled back Buffy bit her lip. Spike pulled out her lip gently with his thumbed then kissed her passionately again.

Buffy kissed him back. Spike pulled away again as Buffy licked her lips. Spike ravaged her neck. He kissed her ear lobe.

“Just tell me to stop Pet and I will” Spike said kissing her neck. “Give me the word Luv and I’ll stop.” Spike said.

Buffy’s head swayed back and forth. Spike took her head in his large hand again he devoured her mouth. His mouth left hers for a moment and looked into her eyes. Still holding her head in his hand he stared at Buffy.

“You’re perfect you know that?” He whispered “Everything about you drives me crazy.” Spike said.

Buffy’s breathed heavily completely mesmerized by his voice. He stroked her cheek with the other hand. He covered both of her cheeks with kisses.

“Your face” he said. Then he kissed her eyes. “Your eyes” he said. Then he assaulted her neck with kisses again. ''Your neck'' he whispered.

He looked at her lips again. Buffy licked her lips trying to steady her breathing. “Your lips.” He said. He kissed her passionately again.

Spike pressed Buffy against the wall causing Buffy to whimper with ecstasy. Spike’s hand roamed Buffy’s side. The silk of her dress made her body slippery. Buffy and Spike stood there locked in a kiss. Buffy groaned louder still locked in a passionate kiss.

Her mind screamed at her to make him stop but she couldn’t. Buffy looked at him completely helpless. She could barely breath. Spike took Buffy’s small arms and raised it over her head.

Spike kissed her deeply still with the one hand he trapped Buffy’s arms. Buffy responded. Suddenly Buffy heard the door down stairs open.

“Angel we’re back!!! Wesley and Winifred are here. ” She heard Legs say.

Buffy finally regained her senses. She pushed pass Spike and opened the door.

“We’re up here.” Buffy yelled. She walked down the stairs and greeted Wesley and Winifred. Buffy kissed Winifred and then Wesley’s ring. Wesley looked up and saw Spike.

“Mr. Ainsley I understand you were upset about last nights happenings. I hope Angel was able to smooth it out.” Wesley said.

Spike nodded.

“Good then Dawn and you must join us for supper.” Wesley said. Everyone started to walk into the drawing room.

Spike stopped Buffy. Spike came up behind her and whispered in her ear.

“We need to talk about this.” Spike whispered. Buffy turned to him and said.

“No we don’t. Spike if you know what’s good for you. We need stop this now.” Buffy snapped.

Spike watched Buffy walk away. What was he doing this was suppose to be a playful flirtation. Now he couldn’t think straight.

“This is a job. She’s a means to an end.” He thought.

Now he knew he was falling in love with her. Her last words rang in his ears

“We need to stop this now.” Spike sighed and followed her in.

“It’s to late for that. It’s to late..”

Drucilla Travers looked at Riley. Finn.

“So nothing? Not even one arrest.” Drucilla asked.

Riley nodded.

“By the time we got downstairs all the booze had been cleared.” Riley explained. Drucilla glared at Riley.

“Are you sure it wasn’t because you were trying to protect your brother?” Drucilla asked.

“Spike was there?” Riley asked. Drucilla rolled her eyes.

“Well I guess if you want something done right you got to do it yourself. Drucilla said lighting her cigarette

“Don’t worry sweet little Angel. You’ll be with Liam soon I’ll make sure of that.”…….

Buffy sat down in front of her Vanity table brushing her long blonde hair. She looked down at a picture of her and Liam. It was there wedding day. A tear fell down Buffy’s cheek. She gently touched the frame of the picture. She looked up and saw a concerned Wesley standing in her room. He walked up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders.

“Forgive me for not knocking Angel, I was just worried about you. You seemed so quiet at the dinner table." Wesley said looking at Buffy.

"I was wondering if your encounter with Mr. Ainsley was too much for you. Sometimes I know I give you too much to handle. With Liam’s death and your Uncle’s raid I should have been more thoughtful. Forgive me? ” Wesley said quietly.

Buffy kissed Wesley’s hand and stood up.

“God father, you have been more than good to me. I know my entrance into this family left a lot to be desired but you have always watched out for me not as a friend but like my father. You gave me away at my wedding to Liam. I owe you so much please never apologize for anything.” Buffy said softly.

Wesley choked back the tears that were forming around his eyes. “Winifred and I were never blessed with a daughter. I hope you know you couldn’t be any more my daughter if you were born to me. Still child you have been through so much. I want to give you a vacation.” Wesley said.

Buffy shook her head.

“Not a long one mind you. Just a few days to get your Uncle off your back and to giVe you some time for your self. I want you to go to the house up north for a few days.” Wesley said.

“God father it isn’t necessary.” Buffy argued.

“Angel we will barely have time to breathe in the next few months. Your Uncle must not be a distraction. You need to take a couple of days then go confront him once and for all.” Wesley explained.

Buffy nodded.

“Yes Godfather.” She whispered. Wesley kissed her on the top of her head and smiled.

“Really child it is for the best. Now Skinny will be here tomorrow morning to pick you up. Johnny will be assigned to you from a distance of course. Minimal security I promise.” Wesley said.

Buffy laughed.

“Good night then Angel.”

A day later Spike stared at the numbers of his latest shipment. Xander looked oVer his shoulder.

“This looks good.” Xander said.

Spike nodded.

“My only problem is I think my guy up north is skimming off the top of the shipments. Spike handed Xander a second sheet.

Xander nodded

“Yes it would seem that way.” Xander said looking at the sheet.

“You know our people can handle this.” Xander said.

Spike looked at Xander he knew how The Giles dealt with betrayal. Spike shook his head.

“No let me try to reason with him first see if he will give up the stash.” Spike said.

Xander looked at Spike

“It doesn’t work that way Spike, you’re a part of The Giles Family now. We have our way of dealing with this sort of thing.” Xander said.

Spike gulped hard. He knew Giles would kill this man if Spike gave the word. Rupert said he had to go so deep undercover it he would find himself doing things that were illegal; murder being one of them.

Spike had to think fast.

“I completely agree Xander but he kept an eye out for Dawn when I was in the joint. I have to give him a chance to come clean. I’ll tell you what I will bring Skinny with me and if he doesn’t fess up.”

Spike said holding his breath waiting for Xander’s final decision. Xander thought about it and then nodded. Spike tried not to sigh in relief.

“You just let him know if he does fess up. That the only reason he is going live to see another day is because of Dawn.” Xander said. Spike nodded.

Later that day

Buffy walked around the some old ruins near The Giles Compound. Buffy always felt so close to Liam up here. This is where they first realized they were in love. She sat down thinking about the last day she saw Liam. They had danced to there song because it played on the Victrola before he left that night. She remembered telling Legs she was going to surprise him that night and tell him she was pregnant.

She remembered standing in their room with all the candles lit. She remembered the tears in Wesley’s eyes as he told her the details surrounding her husband’s death. Buffy yelled at him and said he was lying. Buffy screamed out in agony as Wesley tried to hold her.

Buffy pulled away from him and sank to her knees crying out in pain. She looked down and saw the blood dripping down her leg. She looked at Wesley in fear.

“No God please.” Were her last words before she fainted.

She vaguely remembered the family doctor’s words as she explain to Wesley that the combination of her being so delicate and petite as well as the shock of her husband’s death cause her to lose her baby. Buffy looked up at Wesley and asked him if her Uncle was there. Wesley held her hand tightly and nodded.

Buffy looked around the ruins and thought about her family how her parents had betrayed the family and how her Uncle had killed her husband. Buffy gently rubbed her stomach. Everyone thought she was so strong but deep inside she was still a little girl that wondered why her family abandoned her. Buffy began to cry out in pain. Rain started to fall all around her.

Spike ran into the Giles cottage on the compound. Skinny followed him in.

“Sorry about the car Mr. Ainsley it should be fixed by tonight.” Skinny said Spike looked around the cottage. It was a nice little place complete with a bear skin rug and a fire place.

“Mr. G likes to stay here when he’s doing business without the Mrs. I’ll get a fire started.” Skinny said.

Spike nodded sitting down.

A few minutes later they heard a knock standing out in the rain was Johnny.

“Johnny what are you doing here?” Spike asked.

“Mr. Ainsley I thought you were Angel.” Johnny said.

“What Angel is here?” Spike asked. Johnny nodded

“Yes sir she is staying at the main house. She went on a walk an hour ago. When the storm blew in I saw the fire in here I assumed it was her.” Johnny said.

Skinny looked at Spike.

“That means she is still out there somewhere.” Spike said.

“Come on let’s go find her.”

Spike walked around for what seemed like hours. Finally he found himself in front of some old ruins. Spike saw something move. He ran over and saw Buffy curled up in a ball completely drenched.

“Buffy? Are you all right?” Spike asked.

Buffy looked up at him helpless.

Spike picked up the tiny women in his arms and carried her back to the cottage. Standing in front of the cottage were Johnny and Skinny. They ran over to Spike.

“ANGEL!!” They both yelled. Spike walked her into the cottage.

“Johnny, Skinny get back to Chicago bring a doctor and Xander. Go now before the roads close!” Spike ordered.

Putting a blanket around a frozen Buffy.

“Spike it may take days to get back up here. Let Skinny stay with you.” Johnny reasoned.

“The servants are in the main house and I’m packing I’ll be fine. I think Angel needs her family with her.” Spike said.

Johnny nodded and motioned to Skinny.

“Take care of her Mr. Ainsley.” Johnny said.

Spike nodded putting another blanket around Buffy. The two guards exited.

Spike poured the coffee that Johnny had made into a cup and gave it to Buffy. Buffy took the hot liquid and brought it to her lips. Spike wiped away her tears.

“It’s o.k. Luv. I am here.” Spike whispered.

Buffy nodded.

Spike got up and searched the closet all he found was a brown silk night gown.

“Here get into this. Wesley will kill me if you get pneumonia.” Spike whispered. Without a word Buffy stood up and walked into the bathroom.

Ten minutes later Buffy reemerged wrapped in a thick blanket. Spike naviigated her to the white bear skin rug.

“You need to warm up a bit Pet.” He said Buffy smiled and nodded.

Spike handed her another cup of coffee. Buffy took a sip and them looked at Spike.

“Thank you for finding me. I am sorry if I scared you.” Buffy said. Spike shrugged his shoulders.

“I was more shocked to find out you were even up here.” Spike replied.

“It was Wesley’s idea. He is worried about me with the death of Liam and the loss of our baby.” Buffy said.

“Baby?” Spike said. Buffy nodded.

“Yeah, I was pregnant then I miscarried the night Liam died. I found out my Uncle is the one who ordered the raid.” Buffy whispered.

Spike looked at Buffy his heart suddenly broke for the girl.

“I had no idea.” Spike said more to himself than to Buffy.

“My parents were involved with the mob all my life then something happened and they betrayed the Giles Family. They died and Liam married me to protect me. It wasn’t before long that we fell in love.” Buffy said.

Spike looked at Buffy.

“I don’t mean to sound callous but with your parents history how is it you became such a big part of the organization?” Spike asked.

“It’s o.k. I worked really hard to prove myself. Dinner party after dinner party. I would watch people and would tell Wesley my opinion of people he did business with. Most people called me insane. Wesley came to see that I had a gift for reading people. He cultivated that. He’s been wonderful to me. I never have been able to forgive my parents for turning their backs on The Family. Today everything just caught up it me you know. Suddenly I realized I was alone.” Buffy whispered.

Fresh tears fell down her eyes. Spike impulsively hugged her.

“Shhhh, your not alone Luv. You’re so loved by everyone.” Spike said rocking her back and forth.

Buffy held him tightly.

"Sometimes, I just feel like everything is closing in on me.” Buffy said.

Spike held her tighter.

“Don’t worry Luv I’m here.” Spike said.

Buffy looked up at Spike.

Spike looked down at Buffy. She kissed him deeply. The blanket around her slipped off her shoulders. Spike responded until he felt a tear hit his hand. He pulled back and looked at a confused Buffy.

“Buffy, I can’t not when you’re like this.” Spike said trying to control the rising passion he felt.

Buffy touched his face. He knelt in front of him holding his face in her hands. Spike held onto to her arms.

“Please Spike, I don’t want to feel anything else tonight. I just want to feel you.” Buffy whispered.

Her pleading broke down Spike’s wall. He responded to her kiss hungrily. A small moan escaped his throat. Buffy closed her eyes as Spike lowered her to down on the rug.

Buffy looked up at Spike. Spike stared into her eyes and kissed her again. Buffy held his face in her hands.

“Tell me how I make you feel.” Buffy whispered. Spike touched Buffy’s cheek then looked down at her body. He stroked her cheek. His hand lowered to her neck.

“I can’t get you out of my mind. I see your face in my head all the time.” Spike said. He kissed her again. Buffy closed her eyes for a moment. Spike rested his thumb gently on her lips.

“I feel you lips on my mouth sometimes. I taste you in my sleep.” He kissed her deeply again crushing himself on her. Buffy groaned with pleasure.

Spike pulled his mouth away from her and began to attack her neck. “You so perfect.” He whispered.

“I can’t think when I’m around you.” He whispered. Buffy closed her eyes completely lost in his voice. She felt his mouth massage her neck. He rolled back.

“Spike.” She whispered. Spike held her shoulders tighter.

“Say it again.” He begged.

“Spike.” Buffy repeated this time her voice husky with desire.

Spike’s right hand wandered down her to her breast her gently playing with the brown silk covering it.

Buffy moaned again. Spike kissed her .

Buffy put both her hands around his neck. Spike shifted and rolled so his lower body was beside hers. He continued to kiss her mercilessly. Spike’s hand wandered down to her thigh. He gently took her legs and push them up toward her hips so Buffy’s leg were bent in the air. The bottom half of her brown silk gown raised up to the top of her thighs. Spike pulled back and looked at her. Buffy laid there completely helpless.

Spike moved his hand up her thigh. Buffy’s took a shallow breath. Spike slowly raised Buffy up and pulled the gown up over her head and off her. Buffy closed her eyes and rested the top of her head on Spike’s chest.

Spike raised her head up and lowered he back onto the rug. He looked at her naked body completely enthralled by the beauty of it. Buffy’s breathing got some labored. Spike kissed her mouth again. His mouth then moved to her neck then down to her breast.

Buffy’s screamed out with pleasure. She felt drunk off of the feel of Spike’s mouth on her. He went to her other breast and gave it the same loving treatment her had afforded the other one. Buffy continued to purr out loud.

She ran her fingers through his hair. Massaging his head as he continued to attack her breast. Slowly he lifted his head and kissed her mouth.

“Your so beautiful. So sexy.” Spike whispered. His hand lowered to her hips. Spike saw the look in her eyes a mixture of fear and excitement.

Spike realized no one had ever touched her there before.

The thought of that excited Spike to no end. He kissed her as his hand rest on the center of her being. Buffy began to breath heavier. Spike rubbed the top of her gently. Then in one movement he touched her. He groaned as he felt her wetness and heat.

“My God your so….” Spike couldn’t continue.

He played with her nub as he kissed Buffy. Buffy began to moan over and over again. She bit her bottom lip as Spike’s hand moved faster. Her hips began to move to the rhythm of his hand as if they were taking orders from him.

Buffy began to whimper. Buffy looked at Spike frightened. She had never felt anything this intense before. She felt as if she was going to go crazy.

Spike saw the fear in her eyes.

“Shhhh, it’s o.k. Baby.” He whispered nuzzling his nose against her ear.

“I’m here. Just hold onto me.” He whispered.

Buffy’s head went from side to side just trying to fight the rising intensity in her body. Spike held her tighter.

“It’s o.k. Baby.” He repeated.

The heat from Spike’s mouth just added to the intensity.

“What do I do?” Buffy whimpered lost in the feeling. “Please tell me what do I do?” Buffy begged.

Spike hand continued to dart in and out of her. His thumb played with her as Buffy laid there helpless.

“Just let go baby it will be o.k. Just let it go.” Spike coaxed.

Spike continued Buffy’s hips went into a faster rhythm. Spike began to feel her body tense up knowing what was coming next.

“That’s it Buffy let it go. That’s it.”

Finally Buffy’s screamed out with pleasure Spike. Her body shuttered as Spike’s hand was engulfed with warmth.

Spike thought he his body would join hers. He had never felt such a release from his touch.

Buffy screamed out again.

“Spike Oh God!!!” She screamed.

She let go of Spike’s neck and as her body racked with pleasurable sobs. Spike swiftly took her breast in her mouth. Buffy screamed out.

Spike looked at Buffy his eyes full of lust. He had never felt so over come by a woman's release it was so pure and passionate.

He wanted to more. Spike whispered “Again one more time.”

It didn’t take long before Buffy’s body obliged his request.

This one even more intense than the last.

Buffy’s eyes rolled to the back of her head as tears of ecstasy fell down her face. Spike covered her face with kisses.

“God your incredible.” Spike whispered “Just watching you like makes me go insane. I just want to keep doing this to you.'' Spike said.

Before Buffy could respond Spike’s hand found her center again and drove her into frenzy one more time.

Buffy continued to scream out repeating his name over and over again.

Buffy looked at him.

“I want to feel you.'' She said in a barely audible voice. Buffy rolled him over and laid on top of him. She lowered herself onto him. Spike upper body rose up in pleasure.

“Oh got Buffy you feel so perfect. So tight, so wet.” He said. He sat up with her the chest pressed against each other rocking back and forth. Spike groaned his body matching her tempo

''Oh God Buffy you feel so amazing'' He whimpered.

Buffy cried out as her body released another wave of wetness. Spike moaned feeling himself being drowned by her.

''That's it Buffy. Let go.'' He commanded.

Buffy felt like she was in another world the only sound she heard was Spike's voice commanding her to do things. She gave up complete control to his will as again she peak. Spike felt himself drown in her again.

''Oh God Buffy again.'' He begged.

Buffy's body did what Spike's voice commanded. Spike covered her face in kisses.

''You’re so beautiful, so amazing. I can't get enough of you. The way you taste the way you smell.'' Spike whispered.

Buffy whimpered his name.

''I can't stop Spike it.'' Buffy said choking back her words.

Spike felt her body shutter again.

''I just keep...'' Buffy lost the last word to another wave of pleasure.

This time Spike held her tighter.

''It's o.k. baby. Just keep going'' Spike whispered.

Buffy found her peak over and over again.

Spike tried to keep in control as Buffy's body surrender to his will time and time again.

Their bodies were in perfect rhythm with each other. They both grunted and moaned in pleasure. They were completely lost in each other as their bodies found their own way to communicate to each other.

Buffy held onto his shoulders. She felt her body shifted. She bit her lower lip and began to pant her body increasing it’s movement against his. Buffy’s eyes were shut tight. Spike held her face in his hands.

“No, Baby looked at me.” He commanded. Buffy slowly opened her eyes as her body continued it’s climb.

“I want you to look at me when this time when it happens.” Spike whispered. Buffy rested her forehead against his.

''Together Spike'' Buffy whimpered.

''Please?'' She begged.

Spike rested his hand against the back of her neck as the other went to her hips. With one hand Spike held her head up and with the other he pushed her in and out of him trying to get her deeper in with each movement. Spike watched as Buffy’s eyes got wide. His body seemed to move in synch to hers.

“Oh God.” Spike screamed as both their bodies found the climax of there lovemaking.

''Buffy!'' Spike exclaimed. Buffy let out loud cry. He held her face still as they stared into each other’s eyes making a connection no words could describe. Spike whole body shook. Buffy held him tightly as his body convulsed

''Oh Buffy.'' He whispered. Buffy kissed the top of his head.

Rocking him back and forth. They kissed eachother again. Just when they thought it was over. Their bodies took over again and repeated the passion again and again.

After what seemed like hours. Spike and Buffy fell into an exhausted slumber.

Just before dawn Spike woke up turned to see Buffy looking at him. He sat up and made sure the fire was still going.

Buffy rested her head in his lap. She stared at the fire, which was beginning to die down. Spike threw a few more logs on it.

Buffy smiled up at him then watched the flames mesmerized.

“From the looks of it you got up at least twice to keep the fire going.” Buffy said nuzzling her face in his lap. Spike stroked her hair.

“I couldn’t have you getting cold now Luv, could I?” Spike whispered.

Buffy continued to stare at the fire. Spike watched her.

He had never felt so at peace with anyone or with himself. Even though their lovemaking was intense it was more than that. Spike had found a soul mate in Buffy last night.

He knew his heart was lost to the tiny woman in his lap. For a brief moment he forgot who he was. He forgot about his assignment.

“Are you all right?” Spike asked.

Buffy turned her head still in his lap now looking up at him. She nodded.

“Spike I have never had anyone do to me what you did to me last night.” She whispered her cheeks beginning to turn red.

“I didn’t hurt you did I?” Spike asked.

Buffy sat up completely comfortable being naked in front of him. She kissed him deeply on the mouth.

“Maybe a little but you could fix that.” Buffy said her eyes dancing.

“Really? And how is that?” He asked smiling.

“With a kiss of course.” Buffy said.

“The first place is here,” She said pointing to her cheek. Spike chuckled and kissed it lightly.

“Then here” She said pointing to her neck. Spike kissed her neck as Buffy sighed.

She was being playful and Spike was sure his heart was going to explode. How could one person be adorable yet so enticing at the same time?

“Anywhere else?” Spike asked.

“We're just getting started” Buffy whispered pulling him down onto the rug.

Dawn paced back and forth in Red's tiny apartment.

''Relax Dawnie. He's all right. The roads are just washed out they will be able to get to them within the next couple of days.'' Red said getting ready for work.

Dawn nodded and looked at her new friend.

''Thanks for saying I could stay here. I know the Xander was trying to be nice. But I wasn't really comfortable staying there.'' Dawn explained.

Red nodded.

''I know the whole thing is really overwhelming.'' Red said. Just then they heard the door knob turn.

Red gasped as a laughing Oz and Connor walked in. Dawn looked at the two of them shocked. Red walked up to Connor.

''It's Tuesday. You guys usually don't come until Thursday.'' Red said nervously. Connor smiled over at Dawn.

''Well I guess you know our secret now.'' He said. Oz cleared his throat and shut the door.

''I'm sorry for dragging you into this. As you know Connor and I are brothers.'' Oz said.

''That supposedly hate each other.'' Dawn said crossing her arms.

Red walked over to Dawn.

''Well they don't. They are really close actually. Their fathers just can't know. They met every couple of weeks and talk.'' Red explained. Dawn nodded.

''I won't tell anyone.'' Dawn said smiling. She looked away and stared out the window.

Connor looked at Red questioningly.

''Her brother and Angel are stuck up North.'' Willow said. Oz nodded.

''Yeah the roads are washed out it's going to take at least two days to get to them.'' Oz finished.

''Well she needs us to get her mind off if that.'' Connor said. Oz looked at Red who seemed unaffected by Connor's interest in Dawn Ainsley.

He thought they were still seeing each other. Instead red continued getting ready. Willow looked at herself through the mirror.

Then at the reflection of Oz. One day she would tell him how she felt about him. One day...

Drucilla Travers put the finishing touches on her perfect lips. Travers came up behind her and kissed her neck.

''So my little Vixen. What havoc are you going to reek today?'' Travers asked. Drucilla laughed.

''I don't know feel like going out tonight?'' Drucilla asked.

''And to where my dear wife?'' Travers said.

''The No Name. I have a little message for Xander and company.'' Drucilla said. Travers laughed.

''Lead the way dear wife''

Drucilla and Travers stepped into the No Name. Parker and Connor followed behind them. Travers and Drucilla smiled deviously at each other.

Xander looked up and saw the two  of them come in. He looked at his wife. They both walked over to them.

Xander cleared his throat and held out his hand to Travers who smiled and looked away.

''Business looks good Harris.'' Travers said.

Anya tried to control the rising anger within her.

''I believe my husband was trying to be cordial.'' Anya sneered. Drucilla cocked her head back and laughed.

"See Travers, the ladies here need Angel around to keep them on a short leash. Pity she isn't here.'' Drucilla said coldly.

Xander looked at his ex-lover trying to read her. How did she know Angel was gone? Xander's blood began to boil.

''Yes, pity she isn't here.'' They heard.

They turned and saw Wesley and Winifred come behind them. Following them was Dawn Ainsley on Oz's arm.

''She is out of town Mrs. Travers. I am sure she will be disappointed she missed you.'' Wesley said.

Drucilla smiled she looked over at Dawn who clung to Oz. Drucilla sensed the insecurity in Dawn.

''And who do we have here?'' Drucilla asked. Connor watched as Drucilla silently goaded Dawn he wanted to tell Drucilla to leave her alone.

Dawn suddenly stood tall and walked over to Drucilla.

''I'm Dawn Ainsley.'' Dawn said in an overly ditzy Voice.

''I am the new headliner here. Mr. Harris insisted Legs retire after they got married. I mean what husband would let there wife continue to be show girl at there club after they got married. I mean silly isn't it.'' Dawn said looking as innocent as she could be.

Connor and Parker stifled a giggle. 

Dawn looked back at Oz who smiled at her.

''Did I say something wrong?'' Dawn asked knowing what she had started.

''Dawn, Mrs. Travers still performs at The Travers Of Hearts.'' Anya said trying to contain her laughter.

Dawn tried to look as flustered as possible.

''Oh I'm so sorry I didn't men to insult anyone. Oh dear I should just learn to keep my mouth shut.'' Dawn said walking back over to Oz's side.

Drucilla watched as everybody but her and Travers laughed at her. Drucilla looked at the girl furious at her. Instead of attacking her she smiled at her.

''It's o.k. Ms. Ainsley. Your brother's Spike Ainsley isn't he? Well I hear he is doing business with The Giles now.'' Drucilla said with an menacing undertone.

Wesley took a step forward.

''Mr. Ainsley is now a business associate I trust you  know what that means.'' Wesley said. Travers nodded.

''Of course I do Wesley. And where is the new recruit?'' Travers asked.

''Mr. Ainsley in away on business. Dawn will be staying with Xander and Legs while he is away.'' Wesley said.

''I guess that means I can't stay with Red.'' Dawn mumbled.

''You guessed correctly.'' Oz whispered. Connor and Dawn exchanged a look of sadness then continued to watch the tense scene unfold.

''Away on business?'' Drucilla said.

''With Angel? Well I didn't know she had started doing that kind of consulting for you. Wesley.'' Drucilla said.

Xander and Oz took a step up. Wesley held both of them back with the raising of his hand. He smiled that famous Giles deadly smile.

''Mr. Travers my family has respected your territory. I know you are not coming into my side of town and disrespecting a member of my family.'' Wesley said.

Travers smiled at Wesley.

''Excuse me Wesley, but I thought that the passing of Angel's husband me her below the code. Unless you suddenly have changed the rules.'' Travers said goading Wesley.

''Angel 's standing in the family remains with it always was. In fact Angel's standing will increase by the end of the year.'' Wesley explained.

''Really and how is that?'' Drucilla asked.

''Angel and I will be married by the end of the year.'' Oz said. Everyone gasped in shock. Travers's face fell with fear.

''I see.'' Travers said  trying to keep his cool. Wesley took a step toward Travers and whispered in his ear.

''So you see Travers. It would be a serious mistake to insult my future daughter in law.'' Wesley said. Travers nodded. Drucilla glared at her husband and said.

''We're leaving now.''

Drucilla sat in the back of their limo.

''Drucilla, we can't do anything about it. Angel will be above the code.'' Travers said.

''The Code.'' Drucilla said.

“I am sick of The Code. I am telling you Travers. They only way to put a chink in The Giles armor is to take down someone they care about. Angel is perfect.'' Drucilla said. She calmed down and climbed on her husband's lap.

''Come On Travers, we could rule this town. All we have to do is get rid of Angel.'' Drucilla said kissing her husband.

''We need to find another way to take her down.'' Travers said. Drucilla smiled mischievously.

''Now there's the Travers I know.'' Drucilla said kissing her husband.

Dawn looked at Oz confused.

''You’re getting married?'' Dawn asked.

Willow walked up to them hoping she didn't hear what she thought she heard. Oz nodded.

''It's the best thing for the family and for Angel.'' Oz said. Dawn nodded a bit relieved. At least this meant Spike would finally stay away from Angel. Red walked away fighting the tears in her eyes.

Dawn excused herself and walked out of the club to get a breath of fresh air. She walked outside and heard the sirens. She realized the No Name was being raided again. Dawn watched as Tony Merrick flew out of his car and into the building she felt someone grab her.

Dawn screamed out but the person covered her mouth.

''Hey Gorgeous, sit still would yah!'' She heard. She turned and saw Connor Abrams holding her.

''Connor!!'' She said.

''Come one let's get out of here.'' Connor said. He grabbed Dawn's hand and ran down the street. Red looked around as the police filled the dinner club. She ran up to Oz and said.

''Where's Dawn??'' Oz looked around and said.

''Come on let's go find her my father will have my head if anything happens to her.''

Wesley sat at his booth Winifred, Xander and Anya. The four of them calmly ate their dinner as Merrick's cops filled the room. Tony walked over to the foursome and looked down at them venomously.

''Where's my niece?'' Tony growled. Wesley ate quietly and held his wife's hand.

''As Xander's butler told you. Angel is put of town. I am sure she will get in touch with you when she returns.'' Wesley said taking a drink of his water.

''Wesley you know she hasn't spoke to me in months.'' Tony spat out.

''Gee, I wonder why?'' Legs muttered sarcastically.

Xander put his arm around his wife. ''Sweetie, no let's not be snide.'' Xander said. Looking coldly at the man who ordered his brother's execution.

''Angel, does not want to see you Tony. I thought she made that clear.'' Xander said.

Tony looked at the mobster.

''Listen to me Harris you and are kind is going down and my niece will not go with you.'' Tony said.

''Commissioner Merrick. She ain't here.'' Riley Finn said. Tony got up slowly.

''Let Angel know until she comes to see me these raids will continue.'' Tony said. Wesley nodded as they all walked out.

Xander looked at Wesley. ''What are we going to do?'' Xander asked.

''Keep Angel up north for a bit longer. I need to throw a party for our associates up north. Do you think Ainsley can handle it?'' Wesley asked. Xander nodded.

''Angel will tell him what to do.'' Xander said.

''Excellent, then someone ring Angel.'' Wesley said.

The next day Spike and Buffy walked around the grounds it mildly drizzled. ''So you all right for tonight?'' Buffy asked. Spike nodded.

''''With you at my side Pet, how could I miss.'' Spike said. Buffy laughed. Spike shyly grabbed her hand.

''Does it bother you. I mean The Giles doing what they do to you?'' Spike asked. Buffy shrugged her shoulders.

''Most women I know would die to have my say so in matters. It's different for me though. I did it to prove something to The family. They mean everything to me Spike.'' Buffy said. Spike nodded.

''I know and I would never do anything to jeopardized that.'' Spike replied.

As soon as he said it his heart leapt into his throat. The statement he uttered went against everything he set out to do. His mission was easy.

Get in and take down The Giles’s Organization. Lie , cheat, steal if he had to. But somehow here, now it all didn't matter. His directive, his career all his aspirations meant nothing compared to the petite blonde walking along side him.

Buffy looked over at him. He was pensive. Even when he was penisve he was irresistible Buffy had never felt this way about anyone. His blue eyes, cocky grin and cool British brogue all made her melt but at the same time ignited a fire in her she had never knew existed. Buffy pulled him toward her.

She leaned onto a tree that seemed to have a small seat waiting for her. She kissed him deeply. Spike responded hungrily.

''I thought we left the cottage so this wouldn't happen again.'' Spike said in a passion filled voice. Buffy pulled him away.

''O.k. let's keep walking then.'' Buffy said. Spike smiled at her.

''You know I think you need to finish what you started.'' Spike said kissing her again.

Spike kissed her lips hard. He pressed his body against hers. Buffy whimpered as Spike's hands found her backside. He massaged her slowly but with force.

He sat Buffy is the seat of the tree it began to rain harder. Buffy spread her legs so Spike stood in between her legs. His hand found the bottom of her thigh. He kneaded it as the rain began to pour harder.

Spike pulled away thinking Buffy would want to move inside. Instead Buffy pulled him closer and wrapped her legs around him drawing his mouth to her again lapping up the rain from their lips.

Spike slowly opened up Buffy's water drenched blouse and freed her breast. She blinked hard letting out a deep breath. Spike brushed his hand lightly over her nipple.

Buffy shuttered watching Spike lower his mouth. She held onto the tree as Spike's mouth devoured her breast.

Buffy moaned as Spike lovingly drank up the water surrounding her breasts. She collapsed against the tree. Spike pulled her skirt up to her hips.

''Oh God.'' She whispered. Spike's hand found her center.

“”Bloody Hell” Spike muttered.

Buffy was dripping. The mixture of the cold rain and the heat of her wetness was almost too much for him.

Spike's hand masterfully worked inside her as the other hand massage her mound gently. Buffy held onto the tree. Spike's mouth still attacked her breast. Buffy's body began to heave in pleasure.

''There you go Pet That's it.'' He whispered.

Buffy screamed out with as Spike's mouth cover hers. Again her body rose and tumbled into ecstasy.

Spike took one of Spike lifted his hands and slowly licked the juices off of them. Her eyes widen. She should be revolted it was the most perverse thing she had ever seen. But there watching Spike tasting her from his hands it was erotic and intoxicating.

Buffy looked at him completely dazed. Spike smiled and started to kiss her neck her trailed kissed all the way down to her stomach the started kissing the inside of her thigh. Buffy flinched in shock. She tried to move Spike's head from in between her legs.

Spike took her hands in his.

''Trust me.'' He begged. Buffy's hands went limp in his.

Still holding her hands Spike spread her creamy while thighs. He groaned as his tongue found the inside of her. Buffy's eyes rolled back as she screamed his name.

''You taste so good.'' Spike whispered devouring her center.

Buffy's body convulsed against the tree. She tried to move but Spike had his arms trapped in his as he spread her leg. Water fell down all over he went body.

Spike drank the water along with her wetness.

Buffy whimpered louder. She felt her body about to explode harder than it ever had.

''Oh Spike please!!'' Buffy yelled.

Finally something released in her. An entire flood of wetness filled Spike's mouth he groaned drinking it all. His groan only sent her over the edge again and again.

Spike pulled back for a moment he could swear he actually felt dizzy.

“You can’t be real.” He whispered.

He looked up at Buffy. Her head was tilted to the sky as she gulped hard trying to regain her composure. She looked down at him her eyes unfocused.

“Nothing should taste this good. You’re so beautiful. All I want to keep doing is this..”

Before Buffy could react Spike doved and latched on to her nub again. Silently pleaing with her to give him more. Buffy let out a cry and then screamed.

“Oh my God. It feels so good Spike. Please don’t stop. Spike shook his head giving her his word. Buffy gripped the tree harder and continued to give him control.

Spike stayed there for a long time helping her find her climax over and over again.

Finally Spike's body felt as if was about to explode. He stood up as Buffy unbuckled his pants in frenzy. Spike was barely out when Buffy impaled herself on him. She jumped on Spike her hips in a frenzy.

Buffy felt as if she was possessed with desire. Spike held her as she straddled him. Spike bit his lip trying to hold back his own desire.

He looked at her shocked and she used the tree to help her drive him deeper into her. She was wild with passion and looked as if all she wanted to do was completely have Spike completely consume her.

He steadied her letting her have control for awhile. She felt perfect inside him her tight inner muscles held him firmly. Spike closed his eyes feeling nothing but her. He leaned his head against her shoulder driving himself deeper into her.

Buffy finally climax again. Spike groaned feeling her explosion all around him.

''You’re so beautiful. You feel so wonderful."' He whispered his breath labored as he took over leaning her against the tree again.

''I want to stay in you forever.'' Spike whispered. Buffy moaned.

''It’s going to happen again.'' She cried. Spike kissed her hard as her body released another wave of passion.

''God I love it when you do that. It feels so amazing.'' Spike whispered.

''I can't hold it anymore Buffy.'' Spike grunted.

He pinned her against the tree and began a moving his hips at lightening speeds Buffy climaxed again. Spike bit down on his lipped. Buffy kissed him deeply.

Buffy felt Spike's body tense up. Her body responded to his. They found their peak together while locked into a passionate kiss. Spike pulled her face back. He thrust against her again sending her spinning on more time. Spike kissed her neck.

''Who said the rain couldn't be fun.'' He whispered.

Later that night Spike stood in the living room. A whole barrage of older Italian men and their wives surrounded the ball room. Spike greeted all of them. It scared him how easily he fit into this life style.

A bunch of men gathered around him talking to him about trading matters. Suddenly the doors opened up.

Buffy walked in wearing a red silk slip dress that touched the floor. There was a slit in the front that ran up passed her knee. A large red feather boa hung around her shoulders. A servant took the boa from her and lit her cigarette at the end of her long black holder.

Her hair was swept up with a large diamond fan. Buffy took her long feather fan and walked over to Spike and The Giles associates.

''Gentlemen. How are you enjoying yourselves tonight?''

Buffy asked. Spike tried control the heat rising within him.

He smiled at the men surrounding him and then looked at Buffy. Buffy caught the desire in his eyes.

"Shall we go to dinner Gentlemen?'' Buffy said.

Buffy sat at the end of the table with Spike to theright side pf her. The table cloth hide her legs. They listented as one of Wesley's associates.

Buffy looked at Spike who seemed extremely interested in what he was saying. Buffy kicked off her shoe.

And began to run her foot up Spike's leg. He blinked hard trying not to seem phased.

He turned and looked at a smiling Buffy.

''Tell me Mr. Moretti?? How is the West Coast project looking.'' Buffy said.

Spike looked at Buffy almost asking her to stop. Buffy continued to move her foot up Spike's leg. She rested it gently in his lap moving it back and forth.

She watched as Spike tried to keep in control of his senses.

Spike grabbed his glass and took a sip of water he reached under the table and began to massage Buffy's foot his hand slowly working up her dress. Buffy smiled and slowly moved her foot away.

Spike stuffed food into his mouth to keep himself from laughing.

After dinner Buffy and Spike bid everyone good bye. Buffy looked up at Spike.

''You did Very well.'' Buffy said.

''Thank you do you know when they will be sending for us?'' Spike asked.

''More than likely first thing in the morning.'' Buffy stated. Spike nodded.

''That means I should get going up North to our contacts.'' Spike said. Buffy smiled.

''It's good you are referring to them as our contacts. Wesley would be pleased.''

Spike watched as the last of the servants walked out of the ball room and turned off the lights. Buffy walked into the coat room and grabbed his coat. Spike pushed her further in and closed the door. He held her from behind and whispered

''We seem to have a thing for closed confided spaces.'' Spike whispered into her ear.


He attacked Buffy’s neck from behind. Buffy put her hands out against the wall. They heard the servants outside. Buffy stopped moving around listening to them.

“Ms. Connor must have gone up already.” One of them said.

Spike put a hand on one of Buffy’s breast as he muffled her the groan that escaped her mouth with his other hand.

He continued his kissed to the side of her neck. Buffy tried to be as quiet as possible. The servants looked out to the cottage.

“The light is on Mr. Ainsley must be gone too.” They said.

“Let’s call it a night.” They said.

With that Buffy and Spike heard their footsteps as they walked away. Spike uncovered Buffy’s mouth.He turned her mouth and kissed her from behind. Buffy responded to his powerful kiss rocking her hips back and forth.

“You’re terrible.” Buffy whispered. Spike put his tongue in Buffy’s ear making her shutter.

“Yeah and you love it.” He said. They continued to kiss her.

His hand found her the slit of her dress. Spike’s hand went up her thigh and toward her center. Buffy smiled to herself . She felt him raise his hands up her gown and around to her hips. Spike gasped then let out a strangled whimper

“Surprise Sweetie.” She said her voice heavily laden with passion.

Spike found his hands massaging her mound without the boundary of an undergarment. Spike found her moist and hot.

“Oh God baby the thing you do to me.” Spike whispered.

Buffy braced one leg against the wall. Spike took her hands and raised them up over her head. He lifted her dress over her head.

Buffy stood there completely naked in nothing but her red heels. Spike took in the beautiful site of her.

He took her hands and placed them around her neck. With one hand he braced her against him and with the other he continued to play with her center.

Buffy’s knees felt as if they were going to give out. Spike steadied her. Buffy succumbed to his hand. Spike whispered I her ear as she found her climax gain.

Buffy hands found Spike’s belt and frantically worked this belt and pants free.

Spike let her do all the work finally when she freed him she took him in her hand. Spike expected her to guide him in her instead he suddenly felt her soft lips around his the tip of his penis.

“Oh God!” He cried and Buffy slide him gentlely into her mouth.

Spike shut his eyes so tight he actually saw bright lights behind his lid. He frantically searched for anything to hold onto knowing if he didn’t he would fall to the floor.

He opened his eyes and saw the top of Buffy’s head. She worked at first gentely then harder but the sweetest slow motion he had ever felt. Then suddenly she worked him in a frenzy.

“God, Luv that feels like heaven.” He cried.

Spike let her continue for only a bit longer finally he felt like a mad man. He lifted her to her feet. Spike tried to gather her in his arms to help her guide him inside her.

Again to his surprise Buffy turned around holding onto the coat rod and bent bent slightly over in front of him.

“You really can’t be real.” He said again driving himself in her from behind. Within seconds Buffy climaxed again. Spike raised her up still working from behind her. One hand holding her breast. The other found her nub and gently massaged it as Buffy continued their rhythm. Spike kissed her again.

Then watched her as she succumbed to his body and his relentless touch.

“Your so sexy. I love watching you give into me. You don’t hold back it drives me crazy.” Spike whispered. Buffy was lost in her passion again.

“Oh Spike you feel so good.” Buffy cried.

Spike’s words broke something inside Spike. A new level of passion seized him. He groaned and pulled Buffy’s head against his chest. Their frantic pace finally found it’s end as they both screamed in ecstasy..




Dawn and Connor ran down the street. “Do you think they are still after us?“ Dawn asked.

Connor shrugged. He stopped in front of a door and knocked. Someone opened a small opening in the door and saw Connor. The door opened.

Dawn looked around and saw that they were in another bar. She looked up and saw a blues singer belting out a tune.

“Hey Connor!” An old man said behind the bar. Connor smiled and looked at Dawn. “Now this is what I call a good time.”…..

Dawn looked around the room. Dawn giggled as Connor lead her to the dance floor.

They swayed to the music. “Connor I shouldn’t be with you.” Dawn said looking down sadly.

“Why because I’m the enemy? Dawn, I don’t want this life. I don’t want to be in the organization. I want to be a doctor.” Connor said Dawn looked at him shock.

“Really?” Dawn asked. Connor nodded.

“ I am in my last year of medical school. My dad and Travers keep wanting me to take over but I don’t want it.” Connor said.

“What are you going to do?” Dawn asked.

Connor smiled and said. “Dance with you.” 

“Call me irresponsible - 
call me unreliable 
Throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you
Well I'm not too clever - I just adore you”

Dawn swayed to the music and begun to hum to tune.

“What about you gorgeous what do you want?” Connor asked.

“I don’t know. I want to help my brother anyway I can. I want to sing which I already do. It’s weird no one has ever asked me that.” Dawn thought. C

onnor looked at her she was so innocent so sweet everything he ever wanted in a women.

“Do me a favor?” Connor said.

“What?” Dawn asked.

“Don’t let this life taint you. Stay just the way you are. Sweet and perfect.” Connor said. He lowed his head and kissed her lightly. Dawn felt her whole body rock. She put her head on his shoulder and danced to the music.

“Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows I'm incliRupert to pursue
Call me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you”

An hour or so later Connor and Dawn exited the club. He wrapped his jacket around her.

“Thanks Connor I had a really good time.” Dawn said. Connor bowed down and kissed her hand.

“What’s that?” Connor said.

“What?” Dawn answered.

He pulled something out from behind her ear. Dawn smiled and laughed as he showed her a rose. Suddenly they heard someone call her name.

Dawn looked and saw Oz with Xander coming toward her. Panic stricken she turned to Connor who was disappeared into the shadows. Oz and Xander ran up to her.

“Where have you been? We thought the cops grabbed you!” They asked.

Dawn gulped hard.” I ran out of the club during the raid. I got really scared because I saw Riley. I kept running finally I realized I was really far from the club. I have been trying to find my way back since.” Dawn said

Her nervousness only adding to the effect. Xander looked at the girl concerned.

“Next time that happens stick close to Oz he’ll know what to do.” Xander explained.

Dawn nodded. They stared to walk back toward the club.

“Who’s coat?” Xander asked.

“I don’t know I grabbed it on the way out.” Dawn said putting the rose in the pocket.

Relieved Xander didn’t notice. Oz smiled he knew exactly who’s coat it was.

“I think I know whose coat it is. I would be happy to escort you to the owner first thing in the morning.” Oz said.

“Thank You Oz. Dawn will be staying with us until her brother returns.” Xander said.

Oz smiled at Dawn who in turn looked away glad that the night hid the redness in her cheeks.

That morning Buffy woke up to a knocking on her door. She bolted up and looked for Spike who was long gone. A single red rose was next to her pillow.

Buffy jumped up and threw on a robe. She answered the door and saw Wesley and Xander standing in front of here. They hugged her tightly.

"Thank God your all right.'' Wesley said. Buffy smiled. '

'Yes I am fine.'' Buffy said.

''I am sorry if I worried you.'' Wesley said. Buffy smiled I am fine.'' Buffy said.

''Come on let's get you home.'' Wesley said.


Spike walked into the brownstone he shared with his sister. Thankfully Tony fessed up and gave back what he had stolen. Spike informed him he would no longer be doing business with him.

He cringed as The Giles guards roughed him up. He knew it was necessary but it was still painful to watch. Spike turned on a light and walked into the living room He knew Dawn was at the club and when she got back she would be spending the night at The Harris mansion. He knew he also had to talk to her about her disappearing act that night. He knew Dawn was so and impulsiVe.

Spike heard a sound from his bedroom. Spike pulled out his gun and walked into the room. He gently pushed the door open and pointed his gun toward the bed. He lowered his gun and smiled.

There laying in his bed clad only in a silVer satin sheet was Buffy. Holding a glass of champagne.

''Welcome home.'' She cooed.

''What will Wesley and the others think?'' Spike said.

''Oh see it a funny thing you see. I had this splitting headache they all left for the club.'' Buffy said

Buffy slinked over to him. She held onto the sheet. She lowered herself down and picked up a glass of champagne. She dripped some down her neck.

''Oops it looks like I spilt some.'' Buffy said pouting seductively.

Spike lightly kissed her mouth then devoured her neck.

''Hmm, this could be interesting.'' He said as he lowered her to the bed.

Buffy pulled off the silver satin sheet and revealed herself to Spike.

Spike smiled. “Now this is what I call a homecoming.” Spike said.

Buffy giggled She reached up and lovingly stripped Spike of all his clothes and then lowered him onto the bed.

Spike dripped champagne on her breasts. Spike sucked the champagne off her. Buffy moaned out loud.

“Is this champagne from my kitchen?” Spike asked. Buffy smiled.

“Well I couldn’t explain it if I took it from home now could I?” Buffy said drawing him into a kiss.

“Well, you know your going to have to pay for it.” Spike said.

''How is that?'' Buffy asked as her eyebrows cocked up.

Spike dropped some Champagne in her belly button and lapped it up. Buffy sighed.

“I’ll have to think about it.” he said as he continued to pour champagne on her body.


He positioned himself in between her legs and poured champagne over her center. Spike got excited just at the thought of being there. He poured it over her inner thigh and drank it up. Buffy sat up then lowered herself onto the bed again.

“The things you do to me.” Buffy murmured.

Spike licked up the champagne on her thighs and poured some on her center.

The scent of her mixed into the champagne intoxicated him.

“Mmmm.” Spike groaned as he delved into her center.

Buffy gasped in delight. “Spike, Oh baby.” She whispered. “Oh God.” She groaned.

Spike poured more champagne feasting on her center. He smiled with pleasure and and delight.

Buffy jerked up.

Spike put the glass down and reached for her hands. Buffy held Spike’s hand tightly as she orgasmed.

Again he repeated his cocktail as Buffy shivered again. Spike looked up at he face it was covered in sweat for her last climax. Spike reached to her and gently put champagne in her mouth.

Buffy whimpered her whole body sensitive to his touch. He touched her down there Buffy cried out again. “Oh God Spike.” She cried finding her peak again.

Spike saw the tears fall from her eyes.

“Are you all right?” Spike asked. Buffy laughed through her tears.

She pulled Spike on top of her. Spike slowly entered her.

Buffy arched her back trying to get him deeper in her. Buffy looked into his eyes and kissed him deeply. Spike waited for her to say something.

“You do things to me that make me go insane.” Buffy said moving her hips to matched his. “I have never felt anything like what I feel when I am with you.” Buffy said.

Spike closed his eyes concentrating on her words.

“I want you to tell me what to do. I want you to control my every move.” Buffy whispered.

“Buffy, your driving me crazy.” Spike murmured.

Buffy kissed him deeply. She could tell Spike was going into sensory overload. And she loved it. He had awakened so much in her she wanted to give him the same delicious feelings he so freely gave her.

“When I’m with you sometimes when you touch me I feel like I’ll die if I don’t have you in me. The thought of you tasting me and touching me makes me go crazy. I can’t wait to be around you again. I can’t wait to feel you inside me again. I go crazy not knowing when I’ll feel your kiss again.” Buffy whispered.

Spike bit his lip his pace becoming more insane. Everything around him hummed.

“Oh God Buffy. Your perfect so beautiful. The way you feel. I never want to get out when I’m in you.” Spike whispered.

Buffy knew who much Spike enjoyed her body and she climaxed again not only because she wanted it but because of what she knew it did to Spike. .

Spike ran his hands all over her. “Everything about you is pure beauty. I just want to drown in you.” Spike groaned. “Spike.” Buffy cried. He took her face in his hands.

“Tell me what you want Buffy.” Spike whispered thrusting himself in her rapidly.

“Look at me Baby and tell me.” Spike commanded.

Buffy’s eyes rolled back Spike kissed her hard on her mouth. His hand found her center. He worked her as he darted in and out.

Buffy screamed out in ecstasy.

“Please Buffy tell me what you want.” Spike pleaded. Buffy looked up at him and kissed him whimpering. Spike felt his body shake.

“Please Buffy tell me.” He begged. Spike held her face with his hands and stared deep into her eyes.

Buffy screamed out again in pleasure. Spike held himself in trying to wait for her . Buffy almost immediately felt her body rising again. She spoke out in a barely audible voice at first.

“I can’t hear you..” Spike cried. Buffy felt both their bodies starting to heave.

Finally the words escaped her mouth.

“To be yours!!” She screamed. “I want to be yours. “ Buffy cried.

Something broke again in Spike their bodies went into a insane frenzy. Both of them screamed each other’s name over and over again. Crying and kissing each other like crazy.

“Oh God Buffy. I want you so much all of you.” Spike cried.

Buffy cried with him as they found solace in each other’s arms. Finally they fell into a sleep holding each other tightly.


Spike looked up and saw Buffy getting dressed. He watched her completely fascinated by her. Buffy looked over her shoulder.

''Really Spike you shouldn't look at me that way.'' Buffy said sitting down on the bed.

They kissed again.

'Stop I need to get back home.'' Buffy said.

''Buffy about that..''

Buffy looked at him. ''Why is it you call me Buffy?'' She asked.

''That's your name.'' Spike replied.

''I know but everyone calls me Angel.'' Buffy said.

''I want you to know it's me calling you.'' Spike whispered kissing Buffy's ear.

''Ugh!!'' Buffy said. ''I really need to go.'' She said. Spike looked at her.

''Buffy I want them to know about us.'' Spike said. Buffy turned to him and said.

“Spike, please give it more time. You need to get more established into The Family. Wesley would never allow it.'' Buffy said.

Spike shook his head.

''I do not think it's up to him.'' Spike said.

''Maybe not your decisions but for me it is up to him.'' Buffy stated.

Spike hung his head down. Buffy looked at him. She kissed his mouth deeply.

''Look I know it's hard but it's only a couple of months.'' She whispered. ''Maybe if I wasn't in love with you it wouldn't matter so much.'' Spike said his feelings betraying him. Buffy leaned backwards.

''Your in love with me?'' She asked.

Spike mentally kicked himself. “Good going you damn wanker!“ He thought to himself. He shouldn't have said anything. Buffy's eyes began to water as if she was silently agreeing with him. ''Just a little while longer Love.'' She whispered. With that Buffy walked out of the room.
