Buffy walked into Spike's crypt looking for him. After patrolling with Riley's new wife, Sam, she wanted to see if Spike knew anything about the Doctor and demon eggs. The visit could have also loved being around him; he knew all the ways to make her feel better.

"Buffy," Spike called, "Hey now. If I'd-a known you were coming, I'd-a baked a cake. " He was sitting on the sarcophagus reading a book. Spike jumped out of his seat to meet her.

She seriously replied. "I need information. " Buffy took off her leather gloves.

"Well, suppose I could be helpful. If the price is right. I'm not sure I'm selling out at Doublemeat Palace wages, though." He teased.

"I need to find a guy. Dealer. Calls himself The Doctor." Buffy stated.

Human? Spike asked.

Buffy replied, "His traffic isn't."

"Clock ticking?"

"Whatever he's doing, he's doing it soon." Buffy said.

Spike asked softly. "Soon but not now?"

Buffy quietly made a request. "Tell me you love me."

Spike seemed overjoyed to respond, "I love you. You know I do."

Buffy begged. "Tell me you want me."

"I always want you." He smirked seductively. "In point of fact-. "

"Shut up." Buffy said as she guided him down to the stone surface covered with pillows and blankets. He was on top of her. Buffy unbuttoned Spike's shirt, exposing his beautiful body. He tugged on her shirt to come off. Their open mouths met and in a slow synchronized motion that mirrored their techniques in other physical battles. They kissed passionately interlocking more smoothly than ever before; hands searching little secrets on the other body, it was perfect. Buffy wrapped her arm around his neck pulling him closer, running her fingers through his hair.

Soon piles of black clothes were discarded onto the floor, and a pair of nude bodies engaged in a rhythmic dance. Spike slowly entered her wet center with deep and deliberate strokes. Buffy bucked her hips towards him aching for more. For Spike, it was as if gliding into her like it was the most natural thing in the whole world. Buffy spread her legs wider for him to sink deeper into her womb; she needed him inside, as far as he could go.

She released a deep moan as his lips kissed her neck until his tongue found a trail to her breast, lightly sucking the nipple, sweetly and reverently. Buffy cooed when his mouth knew exactly when to tease her and exactly where to devour her. Tasting Buffy's skin was nearly as good as blood of a stray victim, he thought. Spike let out a little growl and Buffy enjoyed how the sound hummed against her skin.

The pace of the couple's lovemaking sped up with increasing desire. She arched her back and tugged on Spike's blonde hair for support. Buffy came with screams of her lover's name and let the intense pleasure wash over her body. Her orgasm pushed Spike to the brink of his own release, but he wanted to be inside her longer, savor Buffy like a fine wine. He slowed down, put his arm around the small of her back and lifted Buffy closer, close enough to feel her heartbeat in his chest. Buffy's hardened nipples against his muscular chest felt like tiny kisses raining down from above.

Spike pumped into Buffy's warmth with muted aggression, to allow him to be this close to her as long as humanly or vampiricly possible. "Oh Buffy, you are so beautiful." Spike said in the sprit of the moment. He kissed Buffy again. Chastely at first and then the lust erupted their lips apart and his tongue penetrated her throat, just as his dick was invading another intimate spot on Buffy's body.

Buffy hair grazed Spike's shoulders with every movement. She squeezed her inner muscles around him, milking his cock, clenching on to him; she loved how thick he felt inside her, it was the only time she felt complete. Short breaths mixed with girlish squeals, expressing her heaven on earth. She was close to a shattering orgasm and Spike was closing in on his own explosion.

She kissed his neck frantically nipping and biting as her body shook as she came again and her body quivered and reverberated with satisfaction. "Oh god, I love you, love Spike." Buffy moaned so breathlessly that it was virtually incoherent.

Spike growled and released his seed as a intense orgasm possessed his body and instantly morphed into his demon. Spike didn't want to, but Buffy pulled him close and kissed his demon face. Buffy though he even looked gorgeous as a vamp, but she seemed not to notice he was vamped out at the moment. He retracted his fangs mid kiss and finally allowed his spent cock to leave the comfort of Buffy's warm and glowing pussy.

Spike rolled off of Buffy's body glistening with sweat, he looked at her as if she was a goddess and he groveled at her feet. Spike spooned up against her and held Buffy tightly. No words were spoken, like they both knew what the other was thinking and words were unnecessary. In a post-orgasmic glow, they fell asleep next to each other.

Spike awoke to the opening creak of his crypt door. Buffy awoke as well. Startled by who she saw standing in front of her.

Riley walked in to find Buffy and Spike naked, shrouded only in blankets. Buffy had just experienced the sweetest and most powerful lovemaking experience of her entire life and Riley broke in and could just look at her make her feel dirty like a whore.

"Well, looky here. I don't usually use the word delicious... ...but I've gotta wager this little tableau must sting a bit, eh?" Spike grinned in satisfaction. "Me and your former? Must kill. What can I say? " He bragged. "Girl just needs a little monster in her man."

"That's not why I'm here ... Doctor." Riley said.

Buffy was mortified. "Oh god." She left the room to get dressed.

Spike was in his glory he always wanted some sort of revenge on Captain Cardboard. "Here I thought we'd run you out of town, mate. Last time I saw you, if memory serves, you were getting the juice sucked out of you by some undead ladies of very questionable reputation. Now, be a good tin soldier and, uh..." He made a sweeping go away gesture towards Riley.

"Where are they ... Doctor?" Riley persisted.

Spike played dumb. "Where are what, and why do you keep calling me that?" He put his pants on.

"Glad to be back in Sunnydale. The locals all speak English, and I know who to beat for information. It's all brought me here." Riley stated.

Spike grew angry. "Look, crew cut. She's not your bint any more. And if I can speak frankly, she always had a little thing for me, even when she was shagging you."

"Nice. That's very distracting." Riley turned on his tough guy voice. "Now tell me, before I get unprofessional... ...where are the eggs, Spike?"

"Eggs?" Spike scoffed. "You're off your nut. It must be those drugs they were keeping you on. I did warn you."

Buffy walked back into the room.

"Okay. We can do this the hard way, or we can do this the fatal way. Riley punches Spike in the nose. "Where are the eggs?"

Buffy responded. "Look, the Doctor, it can't be Spike."

"No need to defend me, luv." Spike said.

Buffy punches him in the Spike in the face. "Look, i-it can't be, okay? He-he's too incompetent. It's just Spike, Riley."

"Right. Deadly ... amoral ... opportunistic." Riley said. "Or have you forgotten? I'm taking this place apart until I find that nest."

"Over my dead body." Spike threatened.

Riley replied. "I've seen enough of your dead body for one night, thanks."

"But I don't think Buffy has." He said with a raised eyebrow and smirked. "She lusts after it-never gets enough."

"Spike, I am not kidding-tell me where the eggs are hidden." Riley persisted.

"O.k. you want the truth, I will tell, just give me a chance to explain." Spike said.

"Fine." Buffy crossed her arms like a teacher angry with a little boy.

"Alright, I love the Slayer, I mean Buffy." Spike began to explain.

"I don't want to hear it." Riley said. "This isn't about Buff-"

Spike interrupted. "Let me finish the bleeding story-alright?" He looked at Buffy with that gaze that always made her melt. "Buffy, is having money trouble, I don't her like workin' at the bloody Doublemeat. I found away to get money, lots of money, To provide for her like a real boyfriend, not a slacker vampire who can't get a job."

"Do you know how many lives you are putting in danger with this little plan?" Riley asked. "All because of HER."

Buffy didn't like the way Riley put the emphasis on the word her, like she wasn't worth it. Although, she was still smiling at the generosity and sweetness of Spike's deed, however misguided and immoral.

"Well, not really, if I didn't sell them on the black market, someone else would." Spike explained. "It is better that I give the money to Buffy, than some demon that doesn't deserve it. She has been fighting the evil underworld for years, isn't time she got a little payback?"

"Thank you Spike, I am glad that someone in my life is willing to do anything for me, I think we can do a lot of good with this money, even though I feel guilty about getting it this way."

"Come on, Buffy, you let your morals out the window when a large some of money is flaunted in your face. " Riley frowned. "I expected more from my Buffy the hero."

"A million dollars is enough to change a lot of people's minds." Spike said. "Especially when they are having financial problems."

"A million dollars?" Buffy reiterated as she hugged Spike. Riley watched on with contempt.

"And pet, that is tax free-better than winning the lottery." Spike grinned. "It is all for you baby."

Riley grabbed Buffy by the shoulders and harshly spoke to her. "There are evil foreign military powers that are buying these Suvoltes for demon warfare. Buffy you are the Slayer don't you care that thousands may die?"

"Riley, we can find ways to kill Suvoltes. There will always be demons, we can't stop them all." Buffy said. "How do you know that is why the want the demons? Could be using them for pets or using their skins for fashion."

"I can't believe you, Buffy--taken in my HIS bad influence." Riley scolded.

While Riley and Buffy were speaking, Spike grabbed a metal candelabra in his crypt. He used all of his vampric strength and hit Riley over the head with it. Immediately, Spike's chip activated and cried out in intense headache pain and a string of Bloody Hells. Riley fell to the ground--out cold.

In that instant, Buffy's conscious brain couldn't tell her which man to comfort and her heart guided her right to Spike.

He whispered. "They're coming with payment in 15 minutes. Do ya think we can keep Captain Cardboard out for that long?

Buffy said, "to be safe, maybe we should chain him to the bed."

"Great idea pet." Spike said. "The more I'm around you, the more I know you are my soulmate."

Buffy responded simply with her winning smile. An expression that Spike hadn't seen much, since her resurrection.

Spike and Buffy pulled Riley's limp body onto the bed. It was in the downstairs of the crypt with the demon eggs. Buffy looked for their sex handcuffs to restrain her former boyfriend to the bed.

Spike turned on the innuendo. "Have you ever tied him to the bed before? Bringin' back some ol' memories?"

Riley's left wrist got chained to the headboard.

"Do you know you are the biggest pervert ever?" She rhetorically asked.

Spike laughed, "you're the one that likes my perversion--makes you scream, don't it?"

She smiled lovingly and knew that her Spike would do anything to please her. "So should we go on vacation with this money you me and some romantic getaway?"

"Absolutely." He said sitting down on the bed. "Let's make sure it is not somewhere too sunny."

"I always wanted to go to Hawaii, but…" Buffy sat down on Spike's lap. She whispered in his ear, "anywhere we can make love is fine with me."

Spike kissed her softly. "And no Scoobies allowed."

She laughed, "O.K. just for my Spike."

He ran his fingers through her hair. "Luv, you are so good for me, the best thing I have ever encountered. I just wanted to do something to show you-how much I want to see you happy, make things easier in your hard life."

"I know I should feel guilty about the demons, I just don't-if someone else was going to do it anyway, I might of never known about it." Buffy was trying to rationalize her choice, even if a part inside knew it was wrong.

"Baby, it is sometimes okay to do the wrong thing." He smiled. "Like shagging the hell out of a soulless, evil, sex god of a thing."

"It's not wrong." Buffy was finally able to be honest with herself. "Because, I love you Spike. Seeing Riley again forced me to admit what I have with you is real and powerful."

"Did you just say what I think you did, or did you stake me and I am in vampire heaven?"

She caressed his shoulder with her fingertips. "Tonight was the first time, I let you make love to me."

"What about all those other times, the abandon building, the rugs in my crypt, the bronze, the dumpster in back of the Doublemeat?" He recalled fondly.

"Eww, don't remind me about sex by the fast food trash, it is not romantic, silly." Buffy exclaimed.

Spike asked as he caressed Buffy's breasts through her clothes. "What do you call those other times?"

"Just sex, now it is making love." She confessed.

"So now, I can't be violent, kinky, or-whatever. Now I gotta be always a bleeding poof like him?" Spike pointed at Riley.

Buffy answered. "Spike, I don't want you to change for me-I love you from that bleached hair to your scuffed up combat boots."

"Buffy will you. . ."

Just then a knock at the door.

Spike rose to his feet. "I think that is the buyer-now are you sure we should do this, pet?"

"Yes, I think we should." Buffy said.

After the transaction and the money was secured, they didn't want to tell anyone about the money, until the right moment. Spike and Buffy let Riley go. He was so furious that he took his wife and left town, without saying a word to the Scoobies. He was just too angry to speak at all.

Buffy and Spike walked to the Summer's house holding hands. She asked the rest of the gang to meet them there. Buffy wanted to tell her friends about her relationship with Spike and she didn't care what they thought. The time was finally right.

"Spike, I am going to tell them, about us." Buffy said.

"Why, pet?" Spike asked. "Is the sneaking around, getting tired?"

"No, I want to start treating you like a real boyfriend." Buffy realized. "You are willing to do so much for me, and I can't even tell my friends about you. I haven't been fair to you, and I want to make up for it."

"Luv, you don't know how happy I am to hear that." He said and then kissed Buffy.

She kissed him back with urgency. Buffy grabbed Spike's ass, right in the middle of the street. A car was coming and the bright lights and the horn were the only things to warn the couple, before getting hit by the vehicle.

They ran on to someone's lawn and fell into each other. Spike spoke first, "that was fun. Don't you think so, pet?"

"You mean, almost dying?" She inquired.

"No, I mean being so lost in one another." He smiled. "Making the rest of the world go away."

"Yea wonderful--safety be damned." Buffy added.

They continued to walk down Ravello Drive towards her front door.

"So, Spike are you gonna spend the night in my bedroom or what?"

"Thanks for the invite, I thought you would never ask."

***

Buffy opened the door of her house. All of her friends: Xander, Willow, Tara, Anya, and Dawn were waiting in the living room, watching a classic Scooby Doo cartoon.

"I guess if we are the Scooby gang, I would be Daphne, cause I'm the sexiest." Anya suggested.

Xander said. "You are that-sexy-I gotta be Fred, so we're a couple."

"I'm frumpy Velma, cause I'm smart?" Willow complained. "Smart can be sexy too, you know."

"There are too many of us, some of us won't be included." Tara said.

"I'm with you Tara, after Anya said I was like Scrappy Doo." Dawn whined. "I am nothing like an annoying puppy."

Buffy let go of Spike's hand to open the door. He snuffed out a cigarette and through it into a plant decorating the porch. The group heard the door open and turned around to Buffy and Spike.

"Hi everyone." Buffy announced. "I have something important to say."

"I do too!" Anya said. "Xander gave me the best orgasm of my life, last night."

"Anya, I thought you learned about keeping private stuff, private last year." Xander scolded.

"Sorry, a habit, I guess." Anya said. "Buffy is your big news about sex too?"

Spike burst out laughing as he took off his duster and sat next to Dawn on the couch.

The rest of the gang gave him a funny look. Buffy tried not to blush when she said, "kinda sorta."

Tara offered support, "Whatever it is Buffy we are all behind you 100 percent." Tara was the only one in the room that knew about the couple.

"Thanks, Tara." Buffy smiled aware that she had a good idea about what she was going to say.

"Get on with it Buffy, we don't have all night." Dawn said in a negative teenaged way.

She started to tell her friends, "well, I met, someone… a special someone."

"That's awesome, Buffy." Willow said and got up and gave her a hug.

"Why the big announcement, like is it a girl, because we have done the lesbian coming out before." Anya smiled at Willow and Tara.

"No. It is a boy, I mean a man."

"What's he like?" Dawn asked.

"He is charming, romantic, sexy, brave, funny, caring, and so much more." Buffy answered. Spike smiled at the compliments thrown his way.

"Then why haven't we met him before, Buff?" Xander inquired. "What's with the hiding?"

"I thought some of you guys would have trouble accepting him as my lover." Buffy spoke honestly. She recalled how they reacted to the engagement spell and to the Buffybot's treatment of Spike. Buffy took a deep breath, "It is Spike."

Xander rushed towards Spike and invaded his personal space. "What kind of spell it is this time Spike? What did you do to make Buffy feel for you like this?"

"Out of my face Harris!" Spike pushed him away light enough so the chip wouldn't activate. "Why is it so hard to believe that she would love me?"

"Well, first we got the killing." Willow said.

"I don't kill humans anymore, I can't and I won't because of Buffy, I love her and will do anything for her."

"I trust him, so much, you guys don't think he has changed?" Buffy asked to the group. "Spike has proved to be a more loving and caring boyfriend then Riley and Angel. He makes me complete, like I have finally met my match."

Dawn said, "I always thought you would get, together, good for you, Buffy."

"Thanks, Dawn."

"I don't like this at all, but I am willing to give him a chance" Xander said turning towards Spike, "but if you hurt Buffy at all, I will stake you."

"I knew, Harris couldn't handle it." Spike whispered under his breath. Spike held back the impulse to say, "Ok if you don't count kinky sex games, a slayer can handle-I won't hurt her at all."

Willow said, "as long as you are happy, I am happy."

Anya chimed in. "Does he give you good orgasms?"

Spike raised an eyebrow. Buffy blushed to a bright red shade, confirming an undeniable, yes.

"Buffy, if you are in love--you need to follow your heart." Tara advised.

"Thanks, everyone--this has gone, better than I planned." Buffy said. "So what do we do now? How about we get something to eat and rent a movie?"

Noises of agreement filled the room. Tara and Buffy went to the kitchen to warm up some frozen pizzas, and gather other snacks. Xander and Willow went to pick up a rented dvd. Spike, Anya, and Dawn stayed in the living room and began to play a board game. Spike suggested a round of strip poker (he was only half joking). Anya wanted monopoly, but Dawn said it would take to long. They finally settled on a game of Scrabble.

"Spike, now dirty words, don't count." Dawn instructed as she passed around the letter bag.

"Yea, Buffy told us about your colorful language on this game." Anya smiled. "She said you always have sex on your brain, now I know she wasn't just meaning when playing Scrabble."

"Sweet Bit, you wanna go first?" He asked.

"Sure." Dawn said as she placed down the letters: V A M P I R E. "Yea, I used all my letters that is an extra 50 points. Plus the double letter on the V and the double word score, I have 86 points.

"Bloody hell, now it will take me for soddin' ever to catch up to you."

Anya said. "You were the stupid one that let her go first."

"Yea, I'm gonna, win." Dawn giggled and clapped her hands. "We should have bet something."

"No. I won't have big sis, bustin' my chops for gamblin' with you."

Anya was wondering about Riley's sudden departure and thought it was about the big announcement. She was so blunt, she didn't hesitate asking, "Spike did Riley walk in on something? Something erotic?"

"He saw something, he didn't like. I won't give details, in front of the nibblet." He said. "But he was so mad, I'm glad there are not vengeance demons for men, if you get my drift."

"Spike, like I am so old enough to know about these things." Dawn pleaded.

Spike explained. "Not an age thing, Buffy's your sister and I thought it would be tacky."

***

Meanwhile, Tara and Buffy were working in the kitchen.

"Tara, I have a question about magic." Buffy pulled juice and soda out of the fridge.

"What Buffy?" She inquired. "Do you need me to do a spell for you?"

Buffy replied. "Yea, but I don't know if it is even possible and I don't want to tell Willow, because of her mystical issues."

"O.k. what do you want a spell for?" Tara asked as she opened a bag of pretzels and poured them into a bowl.

"I want to get an item, something that I lost." Buffy stated.

"That's easy, I could do a locator spell, and find it." Tara suggested.

Buffy interrupted. "It is more complicated than that, after I gave it away. The person I gave it to destroyed it."

"Oh, you need to go back in time and collect it?" She questioned. "Is that what you want?"

"Can you do it?" Buffy asked.

"Yea, but I am not strong enough to hold it for too long." Tara said. "Maybe for like 5 minutes or something."

"I think it will be enough time." Buffy smiled as she put the pizzas in the oven.

"Let's meet-in the morning, my essence is the strongest early in the day." Tara stated.

"O.K. where should we do the spell?" Buffy inquired. "I don't want Spike to know about it."

"As close to the geographic location, you want to travel in time to." Tara explained. "Buffy where do we need to be?"

"The apartment Giles use to live in. We can set up on table outside the front door, because I don't know who lives there now that he moved to England." Buffy said.

"O.K. I'll meet you there." Tara confirmed. "Is 9:00 a.m. good?"

Buffy thanked her. "That will be fine. I am deeply grateful."

"Can, I ask? What we are retrieving?" Tara reluctantly requested.

"A gift." Buffy replied.

For Spike?

Buffy grinned. "Yea, he got me something recently, and I want to reciprocate."

***

The gang left after watching some lame new releases and eating too much junk food. Dawn went to bed and Spike and Buffy were alone in the living room.

"So pet, do you want me to carry to the bedroom?" Spike asked. "Or should I unzip my pants and do you on the couch?"

"Upstairs. Dawn could catch us, out in the open and all."

He swooped her up into is arms and carried her over the threshold like a honeymooning couple. Spike flung Buffy onto the bed. Straddling her, he pulled off his duster onto the floor. Their crotches, still covered with clothing rubbed together and mutual heat was generated. The rough denim against Spike's dick was making it difficult for him to contain himself.

He kissed Buffy's sweet lips. She opened her mouth and let him explore further. Buffy used her tongue to caress Spike's. Buffy's heart began to race, anticipating the pleasure that was just on the horizon.

Spike couldn't unlive another minute with out suckling on Buffy's breasts. The shirt Riley gave her for undercover demon fighting was torn from her body in a violent motion. She gasped as he sucked on her neck while unlatching the lacy wonderbra from the front latch. Her breasts were exposed and Spike planned on nuzzling his head between them all night, but first he needed her. His mouth enjoyed sucking her nipple, until Spike's tongue needed to feel the baby soft flesh against it. Buffy liked laying there, being the passive participant, letting him worship her.

His shirt was the next item to go as their bodies continued to grind up and down on one another. Buffy was on the brink of and orgasm and both of them still had their pants on. As Spike ravished her with his hands and his talented mouth, Buffy moved forward to nibble on Spike's exposed nipple. He could tell that she was close to orgasm, so the pants were quickly discarded. Both parties didn't bother with underwear after the sexual encounter earlier that day.

Spike was fully aroused and need to be inside her in one way or another. He positioned the tip of her center, glistening with her desire. His cock genitally grazed her pussy. The vampire was conflicted and finally chose, "I need to taste you first."

Buffy rebelled. "I want to taste you." Both wanting to make these feelings of lust last longer without the obvious quaking orgasm. Spike repositioned himself, above his Slayer. This 180 allowed both parties to enjoy the pure taste of each other. In this new 69 configuration, Buffy was forced to take the bulk of Spike's Dick into her mouth as he pumped in and out of it. She liked it, as it tickled her lips and tasted salty and sweet and so Spike like. Buffy sometimes enjoyed when he was in control of her, it was weird, like the pressure was off and she could lay back, explore and come. His balls were so smooth and when they bounced against her nose, the masculine musk she could smell, made it that much more erotic. Buffy did indulge by grabbing his ass, giving it a periodic slap. The way he was teasing her pussy was incredible, and when he touched her in just the right spot, she would suck him tighter, and the mewls of heat sent from her vocal cords vibrated around his cock and it felt "so bloody perfect."

Spike stroked her slit slowly, stopping at various points around her clit and into her wet cunt. The vampire hungrily tasted her pussy lips and loved how she rocked her ass on the bed, egging him on. Finally taking the nub of her clit and sucking on it; mirroring the blowjob Buffy was giving. She tensed up clenching her thighs against his blond head of hair. Spike knew her pre orgasmic signal and slipped down to the Slayer's tight hole to better feel her throb in his mouth and consume the fountain of her sweet essence as she came.

He was so close to exploding inside her hot little mouth. Spike's dick convulsed between the roof of her mouth and her stunning tongue. Buffy and Spike bodies' were so aware of the other one that they came at the exact same moment. The vampire growled and grunted her name, "Buffy," as his cool seed shot down his lover's throat. Buffy slurped him down- it was a rush, since her own orgasm burst through every cell of her body. The Slayer's screams of ecstasy were muted by the ejaculate in her throat and the large cock in her mouth.

Spike pushed up and laid on the other side of the bed. Buffy asked. "Why did you do that?"

"Baby I didn't was to suffocate you, then if you were near death, I would hafta sire you." He joked. "Then I we could fuck this good for eternity."

"Instead, how about I find a way to make you human again?" Buffy suggested as she turned over and began to lick Spike's cock clean.

"If you were a vampire then you wouldn't be so hot, I mean temperature wise-human girls are all around better fucks." Spike shaft began to harden at the attention she was lavishing on his cock and balls. "No, just super strong Slayers that will take all of me."

Buffy lifted up her head as her long blonde hair tickled his thighs. "Can you take all of me?"

"Damn straight." He joked. "Speaking of…when do I get to devirginize that beautiful arse?" Spike grabbed the body part in question and gave it a little pinch.

"Not tonight, I think maybe we should wait for a special occasion, like maybe our big vacation." Buffy recommended.

Spike questioned. "Yea, so you are going to plan the entire trip?"

"Yep." Buffy said as she mounted his erection and impaled herself on it.

"Ooh Buffy, you little slut." He said and began to groan as her pussy gripped him like a vice and Buffy smiled wickedly.

Her motions began to increase in speed and the Slayer's body was dripping with her sweat and arousal. Spike was transfixed on her jumping breasts as she rode his cock, he also liked this position so he could see how awesome her quim looked filled with his thick shaft. Buffy's breath grew ragged, heavy, sporadic as she squeezed around him with her Slayer strength. Spike held her small waist to remain as deep inside of her as possible. Buffy's head tipped back, she arched her back, pussy clenched, whaled his name with moans, as she came. That image along with the pleasure of her little fuck ride was more than enough to make him come. As he was climaxing, Buffy came again and it rocked her world for the second time.

He was still inside her as she relaxed her body on top of him. Kissed his lips softly and said, "I love you Spike, I really do."

"More that mutual, pet, I love you so much. I love you Buffy."

"And I love when you use my real name." She rolled off him.

They spooned up against each other. Spike fell to sleep quickly, but Buffy couldn't she was exited about the surprise that Spike would get from her the next day if everything went as planned.

Buffy woke up in the arms of a sexy blonde vampire. She looked at the clock and was disappointed she had to give up her spot spooned up against Spike's naked body. She needed to get ready to meet Tara and it didn't have a lot of time. Buffy tried to be quiet and Spike didn't even stir when she got up to get dressed. She kissed him softly on the forehead and left to meet Tara.

Buffy walked up to the apartments Giles use to reside. She saw Tara setting up her magical supplies when she arrived.

"Hi, Tara." She said with a little wave.

"Buffy, I'm glad you are here." Tara smiled. "I am a little excited to try the spell, I hope I'm powerful enough to do it."

Buffy asked. "What do you need me to do?"

"Stand in the circle of sand in front of me." Tara instructed. "I will be sitting here meditating." She pointed to a spot in front of Buffy. "Once I say the incantation, you must remember the specifics of the situation, who was there, what were you doing. I will disappear and you just walk into Giles' apartment, You will be invisible, so you need to walk into your own body. Then you must reenact the scene and finally take the object and walk out the door. To end the spell, sit back into the circle."

"So, its pretty simple, for me that is." Buffy confirmed.

"Yea, you got it easy, I need to concentrate to keep you safe, so Buffy be quick or your present self could get stuck in the past." Tara warned.

Buffy thought about how she would have changed the events of the last two years, mistakes like dying, dating, and such could be avoided, but wanted to get back to the Spike who was currently in her bedroom.

"Yea, I'm ready." Buffy wanted to get it over with so she could see the surprised look on Spike's face, when she gave him the gift.

Tara nodded lit the final candle and began chanting. "Minerva goddess of wisdom dissolve time and space. Let Buffy's mind guide you to a moment in history. Goddess Athena use her mind and give me the power to sustain, in sun, wind, heat, and rain."

A cloud of smoke appeared and when the dust settled Tara was gone. Buffy stood up and walked over to the door. It seemed weird to be in his apartment, since he was living in England now. Buffy really missed her former watcher. She was on the couch with Willow, Xander, and Oz. Giles was standing, near them, all eyes locked on the gem of Amora. The one item, that will make a vampire invincible. Buffy walked into her body sitting there and could feel her body tingle. She could tell that she controlled the mind and body of a Buffy two and a half years ago.

Willow looked at the ring. "I like it."

"It's small." Oz observed.

Xander said "Really worth getting my ribs bashed in."

"It's also very dangerous. And we're destroying it," Giles stated.

Buffy demanded. "We don't destroy it."

"Well, Buffy, any vampire that gets his hands on this is going to be essentially unkillable." Giles finally realized. "Oh."

"I have that gig in LA." Oz offered, "I could swing by."

Buffy let Oz take it last time and Angel destroyed it. She was on a mission to change fate. "Thanks Oz, but I want to give to him personally."

"What's going on?" Xander inquired. "What's in LA?"

"She's giving the ring to Angel." Willow needed to explain. "Don't make a fuss."

"Buffy, are you sure?" Giles questioned.

"He should have it." Buffy said and thought about a different He this time around.

With the ring in her hand she walked towards the door. Buffy put the ring on her finger. The other people in the room began to freak out that the Gem of Amora had vanished from the other Buffy's hand. Once the door closed, she walked back into the circle and sat down.

A flash of light went through Buffy's eyes and she could she Tara in front of her calmly chanting. The witch took a deep breath and was aware of the Slayer's presence.

"Buffy, I'm glad to see you." Tara said. "How did it go?"

She looked down at her finger to make sure. "It went great, thanks."

Tara looked at the ring. "Is that the Gem of Amora?"

Buffy answered. "Yes, I want Spike to be with me out in the sun, I want to give him the gift of light."

"Buffy, I though the Gem was a myth." Tara said.

"No, Spike dug up Sunnydale two years ago searching for it. I took it and gave it to Angel and he destroyed it because of the dangers of owning it. Plus it didn't fit well with his brooding attitude." Buffy replied.

"Are you worried about him getting the chip out?" Tara asked. "Or him going all evil and reeking havoc?"

"Not in the least, he is not like that anymore, he loves me, and that is helping him become a better man." Buffy smiled. "I think he is growing a soul."

Tara looked back at Buffy as she walked away. "I hope you're right."

"Thanks again, Tara!" Buffy said as she turned back to her friend.

On the way home, Buffy thought about how she should give him the ring. "Wrapped up in a pretty package? Seems silly for the sodding big bad. Oh shit, I am starting to talk like him." Buffy considered more options in her mind. "I could put it by my clit, holding it between my pussy lips and when he would go down to lick me . . . wait that is way to weird, I'm beginning to think like him too." She finally came to the conclusion that simple is best.

It was quiet when she arrived home. Dawn was at school. Buffy didn't hear the television on or punk rock blaring through the house. She quietly went back to her bedroom and Spike was still in the same position as when she left, sleeping like a baby, purring like a kitten.

She took off her clothes and crawled under the covers with him. She used his chest as a pillow and couldn't wait for him to be awake. Buffy noticed how unusually warm Spike felt in her bed, like he should always be near her, spend every night next to her.

Buffy couldn't wait; she kissed his neck with pecks, licks, and love bites. Spike awoke to the wonderful sensation of Buffy's mouth caressing his neck and chest.

"Mornin' pet." He almost whispered in a groggy voice.

Buffy cooed back, "morning my love."

"I think this is the first time, we stayed the whole night together." Spike was gleaming.

"Well, I was out for an hour or so." Buffy confessed.

"I was too busy dreaming about you to notice, shame on me." He said.

Buffy had been hiding her left hand under her leg, so he wouldn't spot it. "I am grateful, you got me the money, it gives me more time to live my life without additional pressures."

Spike added and nibbled on Buffy's ear. "And allows you more time for you to pleasure me, I guess I'm selfish."

She replied. "I'm serious, since the life span of a Slayer is short I need to enjoy everyday, the little things in life."

He grabbed her other hand, placing in down onto his cock. "You can find large things quite fulfilling as well." The word fulfilling was laced full of innuendo.

"Yea, I really want to be fulfilled by you, but first I would like to give you something, that will make your life better." She held him tighter, closer to her warm body.

Spike said. "My existence got better the day I met you, I don't need anything, but you."

Her fingertips continued to lightly massage his dick as it grew harder. "I got you a gift it is something that you've been wanting for a long time." Buffy was beaming from ear to ear.

"Buffy, you didn't need to do it, baby, just being with you, exceeds my every desire." He stroked her breasts with his black painted fingernails.

"Shut up and close your eyes." Buffy requested and he obeyed.

Buffy grabbed Spike's hand and put the ring on his finger. The ring finger on his left hand, where an engagement ring would usually go.

He still had his eyes closed. "Are we engaged now, pet, or is this a spell, again?"

"Open your eyes and look." She exclaimed.

Spike opened his eyes and gazed upon the Ring of Amora. "Buffy? How? I mean I thought your Poof Angel smashed it."

"I went back in time for like 5 minutes, and this time I'm giving it do a man that definitely needs a tan." Buffy teased.

Spike was in awe of what she got for him. "I mean, Buffy I love it, you have no idea, what this means, incredible." Words couldn't express how he felt, but Spike thought that his mouth could somehow get the point across.

He kissed her sweetly and grabbed for her breasts. Buffy moaned at the sensations. Spike laid Buffy under him. He showered her with kisses, beginning with her mouth, descending to her neck, her breasts. Sucking on her nipple, was a trill for both vampire and Slayer. He loved how the baby soft skin felt in his mouth and how sweetly she squealed at each touch. She adored how his cold tongue would send shivers down her spine. After both tits were lovingly pampered, he slid down her body to her stomach. Buffy loved the attention and eagerly anticipated some action between her thighs. With one deliberate lick that began above her belly button that stretched down through her public hair and landing directly on her clit.

The vampire loved how he could tease the Slayer into convulsions, when he explored her clit. She moaned the instant his pointed tongue found this body part. Swirling and sucking, unexpected patterns around the tiny nub were the best way to drive her crazy. Buffy mewled in delight as he brought her to the brink of orgasm. Her hips bucked towards his face and Spike rewarded her with a finger inside her needy pussy, and quickly added a second digit. The rocking motions of his hand did not detract to the intense mating of his tongue and her clit. Buffy climaxed and screamed cliched religious convictions and curse words. Her tight cunt grasped his fingers wedged inside and he deeply wished it were his cock instead.

Spike's dick was hard and wanted to be inside her, more than anything, but he was focused on her pleasure at the moment. He wanted her to come again, since her body told him she was already close. Spike pulled his fingers out of her inferno and let his mouth be the sole cause for her second round of ecstasy for the night. He grabbed her ass to position him better access her sopping wet passage.

As he moved his mouth down her slit and towards her hole, the tender skin fluttered as Spike tasted every inch of her vaginal lips. Buffy was so wet and Spike was happy to lap up her sweet juices that poured out of her like a fountain. Spike's tongue licked the entryway to her most secret place. The vampire's tongue followed the rim of her pussy hole like a spiral. He didn't push his tongue in, until her breathing became frantic and her body silently begged him to plunder her. Spike fucked her with his tongue, slow and then fast. The suction of her cunt always fascinated him as he forced his tongue as deep as possible. Buffy's pelvis shook as she screamed his name in orgasm. Her whole body quivered, every hair stood on end.

Spike didn't waste anytime ramming his erection between her legs. Buffy gasped how effortlessly he went from one method of pleasing her to another. He began to fuck her slow and deep, her insides accommodated to his thickness, but they were use to this perfect fit. Her body rose and fell with each deliberate motion that affected her. The midsection of each partner met in the middle; her ass bounced on the bed, his crotch pushed deep inside her, his balls flapped against her upper thigh. Spike grunted as Buffy's pussy shook around him as he kept reaching that special spot with virtually every thrust. He sped up his actions and Buffy came, it was the most intense release of the morning, and she screamed until her throat was dry. Spike came after a few moments of her contracting around him in the most amazing ways. The explosion of his desire filled up Buffy's womb with his seed and he groaned, "I love you, Buffy."

Spike kept inside her and whispered, in Buffy's ear. "What do you wanna do today?"

"I was thinking, the beach, you need to work on your tan before the big vacation." She replied.

"Am I really that white?" He asked.

Buffy laughed. "Well, 120 years of no sun, will make you quite pale."

"I think you got the ring for yourself, to show me off at the beach to your little friends." He bragged. "My body is quite impressive."

Buffy agreed and kissed her favorite vampire. "I would like to affirm that statement."

"Spike before you can go to the beach you need some swim trunks and outdoor summer type clothes."

"Buffy, I could always go into the ocean naked."

"This isn't Europe or something, people in Sunnydale wear bikinis, shorts, and at least some clothing to the beach." She explained.

"Do you own a thong, Slayer?" Spike asked seductively teasing.

"No, I have other sexy swimwear." She cheerfully responded. "Let's go to the mall and I can buy you some little black Speedo's."

"I don't know want to waste my time shopping." He complained. "You wear a swimsuit and we'll play in the back yard."

"No I like the beach." Buffy suggested. "I can make an extra pair of your jeans into shorts and then we don't have to buy you any new clothes."

"Come on, Slayer if we go out in public, I can't have sex with you out in the open, outside of your house in more private, but still in the sun."

"O.k. Spike, but we need to the grocery store, I want to have a picnic and we need more food."

He smiled. "Do you want to get on the motorcycle?"

"I want to show off my sexy boyfriend to the world." Buffy bragged.

The couple quickly got dressed to leave the house. Spike walked out and felt the sun on his face, a wonderful sensation he hadn't had in a long time.

"Is the sun, always this hot?" He asked.

"No, dummy it is the spring, It gets hotter than this." Buffy replied. "Remind to buy to sunscreen too, I don't want you to get burnt. I think you need like 75 SPF, I want to protect that smooth skin of yours."

"But I though you wanted me to get a tan."

"Eventually, but I think we could take this slow."

She hopped behind Spike on his motorcycle and they drove to the grocery store as the sun shone in his and her blonde hair.

Buffy loved the feeling of the motorcycle between her legs. The humming of the engine excited her. Her proximity to Spike was also intoxicating. She tightly grasped his waist, holding him close. His scent was a mixture of tobacco, leather, and cologne and Buffy loved it.

He parked the bike and they got off of motorcycle. Spike grabbed Buffy's hand as they walked into the store.

"So what is the Slayer going to cook for her vampire?" He asked.

Buffy took a cart. "Spike do you want to get some stuff, too? So we should spilt up?"

"Sure. Let's not get too much, since it won't fit on the bike." He warned

"O.K. I will be a good little shopper."

Spike went directly to the meat department to see if they would sell him any blood. He also picked up a few cartons of smokes. He also got a bag of little marshmallows to replace the bag he finished after endless cups of hot chocolate. Spike thought about stopping at the liquor store on the way home since the selection at the supermarket was not up to his high expectations. He thought a nice bottle of champagne would be a great afternoon drink to get the Slayer tipsy on.

Buffy got items for the picnic, deli sandwiches, pretzels, and a selection of fresh fruit. They met at the checkout line, left the store on the motorcycle, and went home.

***

Buffy walked down the stairs in her red bikini. She instantly caught Spike's attention as he waited on the couch. "Slayer, you look gorgeous."

She blushed. "Thanks, Spike."

"Turn around, let me she the whole package." He said. "I don't want other guys to look at you in this, I may have to kill them. I'm glad we are staying home."

Buffy said. "Spike, I found an extra pair of your jeans, and I took the liberty of cutting into shorts."

"Bloody hell, Slayer!" He exclaimed. "I liked that pair."

"We have money now, you can get new clothes." Buffy said. "Plus, you have like 10 of the exact same pants."

Spike complained. "Slayer, that money was for you and Dawn not to make me your Ken doll."

"Ok," she sauntered over to him on the couch; "I want to strip my Spike doll." She took of his black T-shirt. Buffy tugged at the button of his jeans as she kneeled in front of him.

Spike laid back in defeat. "I'm anatomically correct." He teased.

"No, yours is the perfect example of manhood." Buffy said as she took his cock out.

She stroked it with her hands. "Before I dress my Spike doll, I want to play."

Buffy licked the tip and around head. She caressed his shaft slowly, teasing him with her tongue. Spike lay back on the couch and enjoyed her touch. His cock grew harder as her body made contact with his. Buffy kissed his balls with light feather light pecks.

He was groaning, but anticipating more. "Buffy. . .you're a goddess."

She put his balls in one hand and slowly slid the dick into her mouth. Spike slightly rose his hips moving his erection down her throat. Buffy went for it and squeezed her glossy lips as tightly around him as she could.

Spike was helpless against her. He moaned, "So good...my Slayer."

Her tongue swirled around his throbbing cock as in bobbed in and out of her mouth. Buffy looked up to see a wonderful grin of enchantment and pleasure on Spike's face. His Dick jerked against her teeth.

"Buffy...suck me...ooh baby." She picked up the pace and quickly had salty liquid squirting down her throat. Buffy drank his come tasting his pleasure as he growled and cursed.
Buffy licked him clean, but did it quickly, before he got too hard again.

She then focused on his combat boots. Buffy untied them and took them off his feet. He wore black socks and they were quickly discarded. Tickling his feet was the next order of business. He tried to be too cool, but he eventually giggled. The jeans were replaced with the shorts she had made.

They walked outside ready to enjoy the sunlight. Buffy's backyard was fenced in, affording the couple the privacy they desired.

Buffy laid out her beach blanket in the perfect spot on the lawn. "Spike, lay down and let me put some sunscreen on you."

"O.K. pet, just another excuse to put your hands on me." He went down on his stomach onto the blanket.

Buffy squirted the lotion into her hands. She got on her knees and rubbed the lotion onto Spike's back. Kneading the lotion onto his back, like it was a sexual whenever she touched him. In the sun, his skin felt warm, picking up the temperature of the environment in combination of the heat from Buffy's hands.

"Flip over." Buffy said.

Spike turned over. Buffy straddled his crotch. Sunscreen on her fingertips tickled his face. Hands on his neck, she lightly applied the lotion.

The muscles of his chest were the next to be coated in lotion, Buffy loved how strong he felt and made sure every square inch of his six pack was protected from the warm sun. Spike enjoyed the Slayer's hands on him. She could tell he liked it, because she could feel him getting harder with every touch. Buffy slid down between his thighs to rub the sunscreen onto his legs.

"Is it my turn to rub you yet?" He asked.

"Yea, I have another one for me since, I'm use to rays of sunshine."
She handed him a bottle of coconut scented oil.

Buffy lay on her back.

"Slayer, you want my hands all over your hot, tight, little body?" He teased.

"You're invited." She gasped out as he rubbed the oil into her inner thighs. He massaged it in a little longer than actually necessary. Spike coated the length of her leg, and the oil made her tanned body shimmer in the sun.

He concentrated on her stomach, rubbing in the oil all over her belly. Spike put his strong hands on her breasts. He ventured inside her bikini top covering the entire breast with the oil. Buffy laughed as he stroked her nipple.

She didn't protest when parts of her breasts were covered in spandex and didn't need suntan oil.

Spike lightly used his fingertips on her pretty face.

Buffy sat up. "Spike now put some on my back."

He kissed the back of her neck. Buffy loved how he felt when he was gentle.

He slicked up her back with the suntan oil. When he was done he untied the bikini top and grabbed her breasts up front.

"Spike, this is a picnic, we can do that later, let's go slow romantic like."

"But those," he indicated her breasts, "are what I really want to bite into and savor in my mouth."

"Come, on I brought food." Buffy opened the picnic basket.

She took some grapes out of the ziplock bag. Buffy put one in her mouth. "Should I feed you or should you feed me?"

"You feed me first, and I will feed you second."

Buffy circled his lips with a chilled grape and placed it on his tongue. He chewed the fruit slowly, savoring it.

She kissed him and the food was forgotten to another basic need. Spike crawled on of Buffy.

He took off her top. Buffy knew there was a reason he put the suntan oil on her nipples; he planned to take off her top. She felt a little shy, since she was outside. It was meaningful though, because Spike could enjoy the daylight anyway he saw fit.

He licked the tropical scented oil off of her full breasts. Spike's tongue followed the line of her cleavage. He put the nipple in and out of his mouth. Buffy cooed as the cool tongue of Spike circled her tit.

"I'm hungry now." Spike also pulled the bikini bottoms off of her hips. Spike smirked that naughty sneer that Buffy loved. "Just getting the package off of the most delicious thing in the world---Slayer pussy."

Buffy giggled as she felt his lukewarm breath on her sex. Spike started at the hole, circling around the edge.
She mewled at the slightest caress. He licked up her slit, lapping up her juices on the way to Buffy's clit.

When he found the swollen nub, he put his lips around it. Sucking it like a nipple. Buffy squirmed as his mouth devoured her sensual spot. She moaned and squealed sweet little noises.

Spike focused on her entry way again. His pointed his tongue and fucked her with it. Thrusting in and out, spiraling around as pumped her. Buffy couldn't control her emotions, her orgasm took her by surprise and more of her wetness arrived on Spike's tastebuds. Buffy cried out in pleasure as she bounced her ass on the blanket. He gobbled up her excess juices, enjoying every drop.

"That's my Slayer, with that beautiful pussy." He teased. "Makes me want to come inside it." Spike undid his buttonfly short and positioned himself, ready to fuck.

His large erection was dripping drops of pre come on her pubic hair. "Beg for it Buffy...tell me how much you need my dick to bang that tight cunt raw--right now out in the open, anyone could catch us out here as I fuck the hell out of you."

"Spike, I need you inside of me, fucking, so deep filling my little pussy with your huge cock." Buffy exclaimed as she spread her legs wider.

Spike rammed the head of his erect member through the opening of her slick passageway.

Buffy gasped as she felt her pussy fit him like a glove. "Spike...fuck me."

He pumped her in a slow pace, at first and worked up to a rhythmic pounding. Buffy's legs shot straight into the air as Spike made love to her.

Spike's left hand held her long blond hair. The other hand roughly grasped her ass, black fingernails digging into her tender flesh.

Buffy mewled little groans of building pleasure. Spike rocking his dick with long, deep strokes, enjoying how her cunt milked him. Low masculine grunts were the outward sign of his ecstasy.

The entire time their lips were locked. Tongues snaked together melding into a single entity. Buffy arched her head away from the embrace to scream his name.

Buffy felt the first tremble of the orgasm and with one more push her desire was at its peak. A flood of her wetness covered Spike's cock as she called out with desperate breathing.

Her pussy was so wet; he slipped out of her quaking pussy. His stiff dick released its contents into his lover. "God, Buffy...Oh Fuck." He growled like a beast.

Buffy's body was reeling from the reverberations of a great lay as his cock continued to push, even as it eventually softened inside her. He collapsed on top of her and they laid their naked in the backyard for several silent moments.

***

"Let's play in the sprinkler---it will be so fun." Buffy suggested.

"I had enough fun screwing you, let's do some more of that." He kissed her neck as a way to emphasize his point.

"Dawn, will be home soon and I don't want her to see you fucking me to death." She said.

"Ok, but we have to do this again--just like this, but next time you're going to be on all fours begging for it doggie style on the beach."

"Spike, we are going to corrupt the neighborhood or get arrested for public nudity." Buffy worried.

"Don't worry Buffy--we'll just have to be more quiet or find new locations to have public sex." He teased.

Buffy ran over and turned on the sprinkler at the hose. The water was cold and jetted out on the lawn. She ran through the water and Spike jogged right behind her. Buffy started to run back, but Spike playfully pushed her and she slid on the wet grass onto her ass.

"You jerk!" Buffy screamed as she got up.

"Come and get me Slayer!" He exclaimed, running away from her.

Buffy took off the sprinkler. She took the open hose, put her finger at the spray, and aimed it right at Spike.

He tried to take the hose away from her, as she attempted to put the hose down the front of his pants. They were getting soaked as they wrestled with the hose.

Dawn walked through the gate, after walking home from school. "What are you guys doing?"

Spike looked at Dawn. "Just playing, Nibblet."

Buffy got up and walked over to the spigot. "Dawn, do you notice anything?"

"Oh my God! Spike you are outside, in the sun." Dawn was giddy with excitement. She ran up and gave him a hug. "How? Why?"

"Your big sis gave me this ring, the Gem of Amora." He showed it to her.

"That is so cool, you can now pick me up from school on your motorcycle. And you can hang with us and all kind of cool stuff." She said.

Buffy joined them on the middle of the lawn. "Spike gave me something, too Dawn, some money--a lot of money."

"No way! This is great--let's go on the shopping spree!" Dawn said.

"Dawn, we can have fun--but I want it to take care of you and big sis, forever." Spike said.

"O.k. Spike you can tell Dawn about the other surprise." Buffy kissed his cheek.

"This summer, I'm taking you all to Europe." Spike said. "The whole Scooby gang, but Buffy and I need to some romantic moments alone." He said.

"Wow! I can't believe things are going so well, it's like the Hellmouth has frozen over." Dawn said.

"I'm going inside to make you ladies lemonade." Spike kissed Buffy before he walked in the house. "I love you baby."

"Dawn, I hope you don't mind that Spike is going to live with us." Buffy said.

"I love it. It's almost like we're a real family again." Dawn said.

"Yea, I guess it is--we're almost like normal people." Buffy smiled. "And it feels so right."

"So, what do you have on the agenda tomorrow?" Dawn asked.

"I think I'm going to get Spike a soul--without a happiness loophole." Buffy replied. "That would be perfect, just as I want him to be."

"But, I think he's good without a soul. You love him without the soul. Don't you?" Dawn asked.

Buffy answered "I guess you're right--I love him just the way he is."

The End
