lovely as always. love the angst!

Now,that's better,but doesn't change the fact that this is still bloody beautiful. You're a great author with a great talent. Love it.:)

She also said "My love"...:D
Loved this so much,although I noticed that the part which Buffy bit Spike and Spike bit her back was not included to the fic. It jumped from:
"For her part, Buffy was left stupefied at Spike’s abrupt exit. She wasn’t sure if she was grateful that he wasn’t pushing the issue, or angry that he was able to walk away. She knew he was as aroused as she was, if not more so."

to

"He turned eyes that glimmered with barely controlled tears towards her and she flinched at the anguish on his face.
“Don’t I want you? How can you ask that? I want you so much my demon tried to claim you!” "

Did I miss the whole event,or is it actually not there? Please enlighten me here.

Loved it! So glad that she told him "someday". Much better then never! I'll pick another story tomorrow. You have so many! Thanks for sharing your beautiful stories with us Patti.

Epilogue -- i would so love to see a sequel to this...this whole fic was so sweet and tender and well-done, while being incredibly sexy at the same time..loved it... great job, pet :)

Ten -- i like the giles/spike interaction...always gotta love ripper... :) great chapter as usual pet :) on to the end :)

Nine -- i think he should have stayed...if she returned his claim, then it wouldn't be like he owned her...they'd be equals, right? so why not fix it that way? because spike would never think that she would want that, i guess... *sigh*...another lovely chapter :)

Eight -- wow...she's so lost to him already, she just doesn't know it yet...and he knows it even less than she does, poor spike...so convinced that he's unworthy and that she could never actually *want* to be his....on to more, pet, excellent chapter :)

Seven -- oh wow...this...could be bad... : ... i just hope that buffy's as understanding about the claim as she was about the rest of the stuff that went on that night...can't wait to read more :)

Six -- oh no!!! there's so much heartbreak and anguish in this chapter, so well written...poor spike..poor buffy...one misunderstanding after another...oh well, can't stop now...on to more :)

I'd love to read about that someday... Wonderful story!
