Typical Buffy. Get what she needs and who cares about what he needs. And that crack at the end... well I can see this happening. She makes a joke about it, and he doesn't know what to make of it anymore. He loves her so much that he will take what she gives him and ask for nothing more. He needed words and actions. She gave him her body. That isn't going to clear up the confusion in his mind. It actually makes it worse. She was giving him her body the year before and she was disgusted by it. She would say no then jump him. Beat him down then come back for more. Poor guy didn't know his ass from his elbow with her anymore and this didn't help. No wonder he couldn't believe her. And I don't blame him if he refused to believe her. If this was how she loved, yanking him around, love and hate and passion and coldness, abuse and kindness, I could see why he wouldn't want to go back to that. Why he stayed with Angel, finding a place for himself and finding himself. Who he could be on his own, his own man.

That's it? She gets off and leaves him hanging? Okay, that's it, she doesn't play nice. Send him here, I'll give him a good seeing to.

This could have happened in canon and not changed his confusion about her feelings.  Buffy was taking her pleasure and never said any tender word...trying to say in action what she could/would not and he no longer read those actions.....was afraid to.  Her concentration on HER pleasure, her getting off and no reciprical would work with canon too and cause him to think that, yes, she DID still desire what he could do for and to her but nothing to show her emotions were engaged.  Perfect piece for this time period!!!!

Yay me! :-D Thank you for this lurvely feedback. I thought it would have been way too unrealistic to have her declare her love or anything afterwards. I do think she felt something for him, but at this point, wasn't going to say so. Also, with her back to him, it's almost like she could pretend, huh?

Anyway, thanks for reading!!

There are some benefits after all- lots and lots of fanfic. Glad you enjoyed!

“Stop me,” he whispered, his voice raw with need.

“I can’t.”
