Sfw memories part 7 Chills

[aufredpratt]

I spent the rest of the night spacing out and trying to recover as much energy as possible. The last time I had drank as much blood as I had in a row was the morning of my turning. Every time I took another mug I made sure it was alright with Angel and Spike first. Spike's only concern was my well being and Angel only had one mug a day if he could help it. I think in total I had about 3 or 4 mugs, not a concerning amount but it made sense once you considered I hadn't drank any since before Spike and I's "Last Day".

As I spaced out I could catch snippets of different conversations happening around me. At this point I was back in Spike's lap and he seemed to be trying to recover energy as well. As we sat together I couldn't help but hear Buffy's voice cut through the conversation buzz.

"I just can't believe this is where my life is at." She was saying.

"What do you mean B? You knew you were destined to fight bad guys from the word go." Faith said in an affectionate tone.

I kept my eyes trained on the fire in front of me as to not give up the fact I was listening in, even accidentally.

"No, I mean like Romantically." Buffy paused for a moment "Not that you haven't been the greatest thing to ever happen to me."

"I better be." Faith's tone was teasing "But I get it, that bisexuality can sneak up on you." they both laughed at this.

I snapped out of my listening zone out and cleared my throat to get Spike's attention. He shook his head once to clear it before smiling at me gently "Something bugging you pet?"

"Kind of? When Cordelia mentioned driving around all day you and Dawn sort of shared a look. What was that about?"

He chuckled "That is an interesting story love, she tells it better than I do really." He looked around and spotted Dawn "Oy! Niblette!" he called.

Dawn startled and looked in our direction "What?" her tone half annoyed half amused.

"My girl here wants to know the story of our little road-trip." he smirked and motioned for her to come over to where we were.

Shrugging she crossed the short distance to us, taking a seat on the ground in front of us. She told the, quite convoluted, story of how a very powerful demon chased her and the old crew across the desert outside of Sunnydale. Spike filled in the parts she wasn't around for. 

As she neared the end of her story I sensed Spike becoming a bit uncomfortable so I cut her short. "Thanks for helping pass the time and for filling me in. I'm sure the solution to it all was just as...complicated."

She shrugged "I guess." she was smart enough to pick up on what I was doing. My curiosity satiated I let her go back to whatever she was doing. I looked up and realized just then that I had never been more relieved to see the orange tint to the sky.

All of us managed to fit into the car somehow and the ride to our new place of shelter was quiet. Once we arrived I desperately needed a shower so I sequestered myself in the bathroom. I had to smell many different soaps before I found something to my liking. As I waited for the water to heat up there was a knock at the door. "Pet? Can I come in?"

I sighed in relief and let Spike in. He locked the bathroom door behind him and his lips found mine easily. I melted into him as his hands roamed up my body. I didn't even need to tell him we would need to be quiet and fast like our first shower escapade. Just one look between us said everything.

I didn't like putting on dirty clothes but it was better than not having showered. I carefully peaked out the door to make sure our path was clear before we exited and rejoined the group.

No one had noticed our absence as Buffy, Faith and Angel were talking quietly at the kitchen table. Dawn was curled up on the couch with a bleary expression on her face, staring off into space. Cordy and Wes had curled up on the floor and fallen asleep in each-other's arms. Willow, Kennedy, Gunn and Giles were absent from immediate view but I could hear muffled conversation from one of the bedrooms that told me Willow and Kennedy were in there. I took this time to look around the place, it had almost no doors except those for the bedrooms and the one bathroom. There were three bedrooms, one large one which I assumed Angel and his girlfriend used, and two much smaller rooms. One of them was the one Kennedy and Willow were sequestered in, the other one stood open. It wasn't a lot of room but more than I had thought given Angel's description. When he saw us he gestured us over to the table.

"So, Buffy, Faith and I are going to go over our plan. If you and Spike want to rest up in the other guest room that would be fine. Gun and Giles went to get more essentials and supplies." he paused and then sighed "and I do mean rest." he said firmly "I know you two have that bond but I hope you can be respectful of everyone else."

Spike made a mock offended face "I'm surprised you think so little of me mate." even as he said this he pulled me in by the waist, "I can, in fact, keep it in my pants."

Angel looked at him, frowning slightly.

"We'll do our best" I said with a small smile tugging Spike along to the room.

"No wonder the slayer likes him, neither of them can take a dirty joke." he rolled his eyes then smirked at me. I giggled as I shut the bedroom door behind us. It was defiantly a guest room, minimal decorations and all, thankfully the curtains over the only window were drawn shut. 

"I'm sure no one would mind if we were to do our resting clothes off since they're so dirty." I bit my lip looking at him.

"You read my mind pet." he murmured with a smile, already removing his duster.

Just then the door was pushed open and Kennedy peeked her head in "Just wanted to let you two know that Willow and I just now put a sound muffling spell on all the bedrooms. It will have faded by sundown but we'd figured it would help everyone get more privacy and rest." She gave us a thumbs up and a grin and left. I called out a 'thank you' before the door was shut all the way.

"I do actually want to get some rest." I said stripping all my clothes off, "Not yet though."
(cue sex scene)

"Now we can rest properly." I panted, laughing gently.

He chuckled as he brushed my nose with his softly, "I love you pet."

"I love you too."

~~~~~~~~~~~ 

There was a knock on the door and it roused me from my sleep. Thankfully, vampires don't have very deep sleeps because we don't really need to sleep. I groaned and nuzzled into Spike's chest "don't wanna get up." I mumbled

I felt his chuckle roll through his chest "We have an important job to do love."

Pouting I looked up at him "Does Angel really need both of us when he's taking two slayers with him?"

Spike's eyes glinted dangerously for a moment and I felt a spark of satisfaction in getting the reaction I wanted, "I'd rather not piss him off." he purred and traced my jawline then over my bottom lip with his thumb. I half closed my eyes and he leaned in to tug at my bottom lip with his teeth before sucking on it briefly.

"What did I say before coming here?" came Angel's voice startling us apart.

"We weren't doing anything too much we just didn't want to sleep in clothes that we've been in for so long." I panicked "We just slept naked that's it.I didn't wanna get up and teased him a bit"

Angel sighed "I'm sure my girlfriend has something you might like, She keeps her old clothes in that dresser." he gestured at one in the corner of the room "stuff that still fits but she doesn't like anymore. Cordelia already raided her main closet. As for Spike I think I left some of my stuff here, I'll see what I can find." with that he left.

Regretfully I slid out of the bed and padded over to the dresser to rummage around in it. I managed to find something that was close to what I was used to wearing. The skirt I found hit above my knees and I was for sure not used to that. However, when I glanced over at the bed where Spike was he was watching me in rapt attention "you should wear shorter skirts more often." he murmured beckoning me over to the bed. 

Blushing, I drew closer "I dunno I feel kind of exposed." the top I had found also dipped much lower than I was used to, not as low as something Cordy would wear just not as modest as I liked. 

He ran his fingers up the back of my thighs and behind my knees, meanwhile he kissed at my neck then traced my neckline using his mouth. I tried hard not to melt into his attention, we had to stay focused.

Without warning, Angel had come back and tossed Spike some clothes "get dressed please." he ordered before leaving again.

Spike huffed but pulled away and reached back to pick up the clothes Angel had given him. He raised an eyebrow in surprise, "this is actually very close to something I've worn before." he smirked "maybe me an' Mr.Grumpy-pants aren't that different." Carefully he unbuttoned the shirt and put it on doing up all but the top three. Now it was my turn to be awed by him.

"We should get you more of those." I murmured, much less smooth than his response to me.

"When this is all said and done pet, we will definitely do some much needed shopping."  he smirked at me. I couldn't help but reach forward to trace the little bit of skin his shirt revealed. He chuckled and took my hand, pausing for a moment to kiss my fingers softly before standing up, "come on then."

We exited the room and saw that aside from us, Angel, Faith and Buffy; everyone else seemed to be asleep. The group of us exited as quietly as we could and got into the very same car that had brought us here and had also brought the backup to our rescue. It was another quiet ride to Lorne's bar, though Angel seemed to be going over something in his head as he drove. We arrived and as we entered the bar I noticed that it was completely empty except for Lorne looking very...nervous? at the counter. He seemed to startle when he saw me but he waited until Angel, Faith and Buffy had gone into a private room for their meeting to say anything.

"Fred! I could have sworn, I thought Angel telling me you were ok and that you had been turned was just a drunken delusion I had." he looked down, clearly embarrassed. "Though when I saw our guest I had my doubts." 

This caused a nervous knot in my stomach but I tried to ignore it. Maybe Spike had sensed my nerves because he sat at the bar and pulled me into his lap running his fingers up my bare arms. This motion instantly relaxed me and I decided to distract myself by telling Lorne exactly how Spike had saved me through turning and how I'd gotten my soul back. This seemed to interest him greatly.

"Are you sure I can't get you two to sing for me?" he leaned forward just a bit "I want to see the connection, I bet it's beautiful."

Spike shook his head sternly "Sorry mate, I don't sing."

Lorne huffed though there was still a playful twinkle in his eye "Is that just a vampire thing or just a you and Angel thing."

Before Spike could reply I cut in "I think it's a personal comfort thing." I gave them both a gentle smile.

Shrugging Lorne headed into the back "I'll be back here, You kids have fun and do whatever. Just don't break anything."

I glanced at Spike and he raised an eyebrow at me.

"He really doesn't mind." I murmured then giggled against his lips before he kissed me. Finally, I allowed myself to melt into his touches as he ran one hand up the inside of my shirt and one hand under my skirt.Though something still held me back "Do you think this is really a good idea we're supposed to be on guard duty." My thinking growing fuzzy.

"Lorne is right there love, we're fine." he murmured kissing my neck gently. With that I relinquished myself completely. He sat me up on the bar and pulled down my skirt, I had just enough strength left to hold myself up. Then everything was a blur, I was torn from Spike's grip faster and stronger than I had ever experienced. The last thing I remember is him swearing and snarling and calling out my name as he tried uselessly to keep up with my captors. Then, darkness.
