Chapter 28 – Nourishment



Spike woke up to find his mate in his arms. Rather than wake her, he choose to just watch her. Spike was cherishing this moment. After all, it was the first time the two had spent the night together. He smiled as he watched her breath. Buffy turned over and snuggled her back to him. Her warmth beside him led to… and as much as he felt compelled to fulfill that need, he wanted to wait until they had full privacy.

As well as out of the poofter’s earshot.

He could hear the conversation in the living area adjacent to their bedroom. He was not surprise to learn that Willow had tried to use her magicks, but apparently had learned her lesson when Dru put her into place. ‘Scary bint Dru can be when she uses her full power.’

Buffy’s tummy began to rumble, around the same time he could hear room service come to the suite. He did not want to wake her, but he also knew that he needed to feed too. He found himself focusing on the marks he had left on his mate’s neck; Spike wanted nothing more than to have another taste of delectable Slayer blood. His rationale returned, and he chose to suppress his desire. The next time he marked her would be the first time they were alone together. His thoughts were interrupted when Buffy rolled over and opened up her eyes.

“Nice to see you awake sleepy head.”

“I feel better now. I’m hungry.”

“Let’s get up so we can get you some food.”

“What about you?”

“I’m sure there is some of the bagged stuff for me out there love.”

“Why have the bagged stuff when you can get it fresh?” Buffy whispered.

Spike was shocked she so openly offered him her blood. He could sense her fear of rejection. Although he had mixed feelings internally about waiting until the right moment, he did not want to make Buffy think he thought of her as inadequate.

“You offering, love?”

“Yep.”

“I’m only going to take a few little sips. You’re a bit weak and I sure don’t want my girl fainting on me,” he said to her. He was satisfied when he saw the worry fall away from her face. She slightly leaned her neck to the side. Spike slowly dipped his head down, and began to nip at her golden skin. His demon came to the fore as he felt her pulse pounding away on her neck. She gasped as he carefully slid his incisors into her throat. She pulled him closer to her while she moaned his name in passion. Her lifeblood slowly sucked into her lover’s throat, providing him the nourishment he needed. Buffy could feel the euphoria building inside her. Her small fangs extended through her gums as she latched on to Spike’s neck.

Spike repeated “Mine, Mine, Mine,” repeatedly into his girl’s ear. He reveled in the feelings of pleasure he was receiving from the piercing of her fangs. He was in heaven, and they were still clothed!

Buffy took a final sip of his blood, and then sealed his wound. She pulled back from him and looked at him with love and devotion. With blood still staining her lips, she whispered her acceptance of his claim.

“Yours. Your woman, your slayer, your lover, your mate. Yours for eternity.”

*****

Buffy and Spike lay in what seemed to be hours in each other’s arms. The reality was that only twenty minutes passed before Drusilla decided that it was time for them to pack up and move on. The hard decision was going to be who was going to walk in on the couple.

William’s wailing answered the question for them. Within seconds Spike had run out of the room and over to little William. Spike peppered his son with soft kisses and words of affection.

“Someone’s ready to sleep in his own bed tonight, yeah?”

“You can say that again,” Willow uttered.

Buffy walked into the living room and shared her consensus with Willow.

“Great. I soooo need my bed. There is nothing that relaxes you better than sleeping in your own bed,” Buffy said.

“Right then,” Spike asserted, “Since we really didn’t have anything packed, we should just have ourselves to account for. Let’s get a move on. You girls finish tidying up. Peaches and I will go down and get the cars ready.”

Angel glared at Spike, but quickly let it go. His grandchilde would always find a way to get a poke in at him, but for Buffy’s sake, he would learn to restrain himself.

After the door shut, William began to whimper at the loss of his father. Buffy held him close, rocking him back and forth but nothing seemed to calm the little boy down. Buffy started to panic. Drusilla had realized the baby’s cries for exactly what they meant. Food.

“Buffy,” Dru whispered, “I think he might be hungry for some of mummy’s milk.”

Buffy gave Drusilla a nod and quick “Thank you” before she went into the other bedroom.

“Thank goodness regular babies aren’t like him,” Cordelia stated, “Its bad enough they bite you, but William uses fangs!”

“Ouch!” Willow exclaimed.

“It’s different for Buffy. Her body is built to take it,” Drusilla explained.

Buffy walked out from the other room with William held in one arm, and a thick towel over her breasts.

“Definitely more messy though,” Buffy said. “Could one of you guy’s hold him so I can make sure I stop squirting out blood milkshakes.”

Dru gently took William from Buffy.

“Clean up good, because knowing Spike…”

Buffy put her hand up signaling to Dru to halt, because that was a sentence that would not need finishing.

*****

Cordelia only recognized Angel’s car waiting out the sea of cars that were jockeying for position. Cordelia was desperate to get out of this situation and get back to reality. She dodged her way through the cars, swiftly opened the door, and claimed the passenger seat.

Angel looked over at Cordelia with surprise written all over his face.

“You know we are going back to Sunnydale for a little bit, right Cordy?”

“Yep."

“So, I’m a little puzzled as to why you’d want to do that ride in the car with me rather than get in the limo Spike rented.”

“As if. There is now way he would have done that.”

Amused, Angel pointed his finger over to the limousine that Buffy was climbing into.

“Oh. Well, its real simple Angel. There is no screaming baby in this car.”

“You’ve got a good point there Cordy. You ready?”

“As ready as I’ll ever be for going back home.”

*****

Spike gently finished buckling William up in his child seat before he settled down next to Buffy. Both of the California girls were gawking at the luxury around him, while Drusilla seemed indifferent.

“Spike, I don’t know how you were able to afford this, but after all we’ve been through it’s nice to relax on the way home.”

“Buffy, you’ll never need to worry for money again. Spike here has managed to put himself in a nice position financially,” Dru commented, “And he’s never spent a dime on a girl until now so enjoy it.”

“Oi! That’s not true Dru. I bought you lots of nice pretties.”

“And they tasted good too.”

Both Buffy and Willow exclaimed “Gross!” at the same time, while Spike just rolled his eyes.

“What’s a matter with you folks? You’ve got to turn everything into blood and death, you sillies; Spike had purchased me a few courtesans to keep me entertained.”






Well some of you are saying gross and some of you are laughing your butts off.

I promise next chappie we find out what happened with Joyce!!
