Chapter 8

“Spike, don’t you think we should be patrolling right now?” Buffy said and tried to focus.

Spike continued to trail kisses down her neck. They were in the cemetery and got a little distracted. Spike looked at her. “I like my way of patrolling better,” he said and went back to kissing her neck.

Buffy moaned and decided to be the strong one. She pulled away from him.

Spike gave her a pout at the loss of contact.

“That won’t work on me, mister. I didn’t patrol last night because we were busy doing...other stuff. I’m going to do my job tonight,” she said with her resolve face.

Spike sighed. “You really know how to spoil a bloke’s fun.”

Buffy smiled and pressed a quick kiss to his lips. “I’ll make it up to you later.”

Spike had a smile on his face now. “I’m gonna hold you to that,” he replied

Buffy nodded and they got back to patrolling.

Spike didn’t even know why they bothered that night anyway. There seemed to be no demon’s around.

It wouldn’t be the first time Spike was wrong as he dodged the demon’s fist.

Buffy kicked the demon and he growled and turned on her. She grabbed her stake and plunged it into his eye. She knew it wouldn’t do much damage, but it would at least hurt like hell.

The demon yelled this time and pulled the stake out of his eye and threw it on the ground.

Buffy couldn’t get to it, when the demon’s fist then knocked her to the ground also.

Spike came up behind the demon and punched him in the head.

The demon then grabbed Spike and lifted him off of the ground.

Spike tried to get himself loose, but the demon just threw him into a nearby tombstone and caused him to hit his head.

Buffy got up at that moment and attacked the demon. She grabbed for the stake and when the demon was distracted, she plunged it into his heart. The demon screamed and Buffy watched as he fell to the ground and then dissolved into green slime. She cringed at the sight. “Well, that was disgusting,” she said to herself and then went over to where Spike was still laying on the ground. She helped him up.

Spike rubbed his head.

“You okay?” she asked.

Spike looked at her with raised eyebrows. “Who are you?” he wondered.

Buffy’s eyes grew big and she groaned. “No, this can’t be happening to me again,” she said and then noticed the smile on Spike’s face. “Oh, you are so dead.”

His smile grew even bigger. “Well, you’re right about that,” he stated with a smirk.

“You’re going to be even deader.”

Spike held his hands in the air. “I was only kidding, Slayer. Just remember how much you love me.”

Buffy glared at him. “Yeah, let me show you how much.”

Spike didn’t like the look she was giving him. He then started to run in the other direction and she chased after him.

“You’re not getting away from me that easily!” she yelled and picked up speed and then tackled him to the ground. She sat on top of him and pinned his arms above his head.

He gave her a smirk. “Is this supposed to be my punishment?”

Buffy then attacked his lips in a passionate kiss. She heard him moan and that was when she decided to pull away.

He frowned up at her.

“See you at home,” she replied and got off of him. She took off running toward her house.

Spike growled as he got up and went after her. “You’re going to get it now, Slayer!” he yelled and followed Buffy to her house. He chased her inside and then up the stairs.

Their laughter could be heard by the other occupants in the house.

Dawn rolled her eyes and looked at Willow. “Can I stay with you tonight? I have a feeling they’re gonna be loud.”

Willow nodded and assured her that it would be okay. They heard a crash come from upstairs.

“Okay, now is good.” Willow said.

Dawn agreed and grabbed her bag that she already had packed. She then walked out of the house with Willow.

Buffy and Spike were both breathing heavily, even though he didn’t really need to. They were laying together on the floor, with a blanket over them.

“We missed the bed,” she panted.

Spike looked at the bed and then at the mess they made in the room. “Lucky for the bed,” he replied and placed a kiss on her sweaty forehead. “We can move up there if you want.”

Buffy thought about it. “That’s the plan. As soon as my legs start working,” she said with a smile.

Spike smiled in return. “You were amazing,” he told her suddenly serious.

She gazed into his eyes. “You got the job done yourself.”

He smiled again and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

She then rested her head on his chest. “Right now, I just wanna sleep. I don’t even care if I do it on the floor.”

Spike ran his fingers through her hair. “I love you,” he whispered with so much emotion in his voice.

Buffy looked up at him again. “I love you, too.”

He had an even bigger smile on his face now. “I don’t think I’ll ever get used to that.”

Buffy traced her fingers over his chest. “I’ll keep saying it until you do.”

Spike kissed her again and they both tried to make themselves more comfortable.

“Just promise me one thing.” Buffy spoke up suddenly.

Spike nodded and waited for whatever she had to say.

“Just promise that no matter what happens, you won’t leave me.”

Spike looked at her, clearly not expecting that. “I promise I’ll never leave you. You’re stuck with me,” he told her with a smile.

She sighed in relief and rested her head back on his chest. “I could live with that,” she whispered and soon fell asleep.

Spike watched her for a while longer. He then closed his eyes and let sleep claim him also, with thoughts of his beautiful Slayer in his head.

The End
