Chapter 11

Spike couldn’t take his eyes off of her. They headed to the Bronze after the fight, Buffy wanting to show Sookie and Eric the club before they left. Both girls were now dancing the night away in the middle of the room, a group of horny boys crowding them. He turned away from the display to glance at Eric, who had yet to look away from Sookie; at least he hoped she was the one he was gazing at.

“That Bill bloke, he really used to date her?” Spike asked to make conversation.

Eric finally looked over at him. “If that’s what you wish to call it.”

“First loves are hard to compete with. I’ll never stop worrying that Buffy will go back to her ex. I know she loves me, but a part of her will always belong to him. I know you’ve been around forever, but let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t hesitate to tell her how you feel. She may know on some level, but a chit needs to hear the words every now and then. You’ve got yourself a good one there, hold on to her.”

Eric nodded, focusing back on the women, seeing how Sookie’s face lit up as she laughed. “I intend to.”

The girls headed over to them a few minutes later, both out of breath.

“This place is great,” Sookie commented, grabbing Eric’s hand and pulling him up. “Dance with me.”

He didn’t respond; just let her lead him to the dance floor.

Buffy took the now vacated seat next to her boyfriend. “So, what were you two talking about?”

Spike shrugged. “Nothing, I just wanted him to realize what he had.” He put an arm around her, pulling her closer to his side. “You know I love you, right?”

She was confused by the tone of his voice, nodding after a second. “I know. I love you, too.”

He smiled, loving the sound of that.

Eric pushed her gently against the wall, attacking her throat with his mouth, only using his blunt teeth.

Sookie let out a soft moan, her eyes closing.

“I couldn’t wait much longer to have you.”

She gasped as he once again filled her up, never able to get enough of him.

They made their way back to Buffy’s house later that night to say their goodbyes.

Eric shook Spike’s hand. “You have yourself quite a woman.”

“I won’t argue with you there,” he replied.

“Don’t be a stranger,” Buffy said, giving Eric a hug, and then Sookie.

“You can guarantee this is not the last you’ve seen of us,” Eric stated with a wink. “If you are ever in Shreveport, please stop by Fangtasia. We would love to have you.”

Buffy smiled. “With a name like that, how can we refuse? I’m curious to check out the place.”

Eric knew that a Slayer would be bad for business, but when that Slayer was Buffy Summers, he would make an exception. He picked up Sookie, cradling her in his arms. “It’s much faster this way.” With one last wink to their companions, Eric took off through the night sky.

“That really is cool,” Spike claimed.

Buffy shook her head, wrapping her arms around his waist. “I don’t know. I think I’d rather stay on the ground.”

Once inside the house, Spike didn’t hesitate before pouncing on her. He picked her up, carrying her upstairs and throwing her down on the bed.

Their clothes were instantly flung to the floor.

Dawn would be returning now that their guests were gone, so this would probably be their last night together without a teenager around, best to take advantage of it.

Spike fondled and sucked her tits, her nipples hardening under his touch. He lowered his hand to her smooth mound, slipping three fingers into her already drenched core. He was inside her with one quick thrust, pounding her into the mattress, they could go slow later. Right now, he just had to have her.

Buffy’s head was thrown back, her nails digging in his arms, but he had no complaints.

“Fuck, you always feel so bloody good. Squeeze me, baby, just like that.”

She did as he said, yelling out her release a moment later.

Spike remained on top of her, his cock still buried inside of her pussy, moving to her side when he felt that he might be crushing her.

Buffy rested her head against his chest, trying to get her breathing under control. “I have a lot of explaining to do tomorrow. It’s time that everyone knew about us; I’m not keeping it a secret anymore.”

Spike smiled, kissing the top of her head. He was relieved that she wanted to go public. The idea of sneaking around did appeal to him, but he wanted it out in the open. Being with her meant everything to him, and he couldn’t go one more day without telling someone, but Spike would do it on her terms. If she wanted to wait a week, or even a month, he would respect that. Just the fact that she wanted to tell her friends was enough for him, he didn’t need anything else.

“Let me get this straight, you’ve all made bets that we would get together? How am I just now finding out about this?”

Willow shrugged. “You’ve had a lot to deal with lately. We love you, Buffy. We just want you to be happy, and if it’s with Spike, who are we to judge?”

To say Buffy was shocked would be an understatement. “And you all feel this way? Even you?” she wondered, turning to Xander.

“Anya said she would withhold sex from me if I didn’t accept it.”

Buffy raised her eyebrows, clearly not believing that was the extent of it.

Xander rolled his eyes, taking in a deep breath. “I also only care about your happiness. I’ll deny that I ever said this, but bleach boy isn’t all that bad. He’s been a big help recently. If this is what you really want, then we’ll support you.”

She had tears in her eyes now, giving her oldest male friend a hug, then doing the same with Willow. The two of them meant the world to her; she would have been lost without them. “Thank you, I’m so glad that you guys are okay with this. I would have hated to lose your friendship.”

Willow shook her head, pulling out of the embrace. “You’ll never have to worry about that.”

“There’s just one more obstacle to get through,” Xander explained.

Before Buffy could respond, the front door of the magic shop opened and Giles walked in, giving the group a bright smile.

“Well, I see the store is still standing. What have I missed?”

The three friends exchanged looks, shaking their heads.

“Nothing much, just your every day stuff,” Buffy commented.

Giles nodded, putting his bag down and moving to the back of the store to see if everything else was as he left it.

Buffy turned to the others. “I’ll tell him later.”

The End
