Chapter 5

Spike had her clothes off in an instant, growling at the sight of the bruises on her flesh. He knew Angelus liked it rough, but once again hated letting that happen to her. He noticed the bite mark on her neck, feeling more shame and rage go through him.

Buffy was confused by the change in his mood. “Spike, are you okay?”

He was brought out of his thoughts by her concerned voice. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

She was relieved when he started to kiss her again, taking her bottom lip into his mouth.

Spike removed his clothes just as fast, getting on top of her and staring down into her eyes. “Are you sure about this?”

Buffy nodded. “I need you. I won’t have any regrets.”

Spike could tell that foreplay wasn’t what she wanted, and knew that she was more than ready. He didn’t waste any time before thrusting his cock inside of her, trying to be as gentle as he could.

Buffy gasped at the penetration, grasping on to his shoulders and holding tight.

“Does it hurt?” he wondered, figuring that she was probably still sore.

Buffy shook her head. “It’s okay, you can go faster. I can take it.”

Spike was happy to oblige as he pounded faster and harder into her. This was the first time he had ever been with a human woman; he couldn’t believe how hot she was. An idea suddenly occurred to him. It was the only way he could think of to possibly keep her safe from his grandsire. “Do you trust me?”

Buffy gazed into his eyes, nodding after a moment.

That was all Spike needed. He reached down to her pussy, slipping his thumb inside her wet folds and flicking her clit as he continued to fuck her with his cock. When Spike noticed that she was close to release, he struck her neck with his fangs, obliterating Angelus’ mark. He took a few pulls of her blood, pulling out before he could take too much. “Mine,” he whispered, licking the wound closed.

Buffy was hit by the most intense orgasm of her life. She cried out, throwing her head back in pure ecstasy.

Spike watched as she came down from her high, brushing the hair off of her face. “You all right?”

“I’ve never felt anything like that. What did you do?”

Spike decided to tell her the truth, hoping that she wouldn’t be too upset about it. “I claimed you. It happens with a bite and words of possession.”

Buffy raised her eyebrows. “What exactly is a claim?”

“It’s something vampires do when they choose a mate for life. As far as I know, it’s never been done with humans before.”

Buffy sat up. “A mate for life? Does that mean I belong to you now?”

Spike placed a calming hand on her arm. “It’s not a complete claim since you didn’t reciprocate, but that is the general idea. I know I shouldn’t have done it without your permission, but this is the only way that I know of to keep you safe from Angelus. A claim is very powerful, other vampires would be able to see it and hopefully leave you alone. They would see you as mine.”

Buffy was confused. “How come that didn’t happen when Angelus bit me?”

“He would have had to say something about you being his in order for a claim to take effect. I think he just wanted to scare you. As soon as this whole thing with Angelus is taken care of, we’ll find a way to break the claim. I just didn’t know what else to do.”

She nodded. “I’m tired now.”

Spike nodded as well. “I’ll let you get some more rest, it’s still dark out.”

Buffy grabbed his arm when he stood up, pulling him down to press a soft kiss to his mouth.

He was surprised by the sweet gesture.

“Thank you for protecting me.”

Spike smiled and touched his lips to her forehead, feeling so much affection for this tiny girl in only a short amount of time.

“Agent Finn, are you sure we can’t turn back to the base now? We’ve been out here for hours.”

Riley glared at him. “I’m not giving up until I find her, Forrest. I just know some disgusting demon has her.”

“Well, then she’s probably already dead.”

Riley wouldn’t believe that. He knew that his precious girl was still alive, and he was going to find her. Riley would kill anything that stood in his way.

Spike couldn’t take his eyes off of her. She made the most adorable faces when she was sleeping. He decided that it would be best for him to stay in the room with her, and she had no complaints. He was finding it hard to doze off, too busy watching her. Besides, he couldn’t sleep when the sun was still down. Spike trailed his hand up her bare shoulder, noticing her shiver at the contact. He still couldn’t believe that he actually claimed her. It was something he never would have imagined doing with a human. Spike always wanted to with Drusilla, but she would never allow it. She was too in love with her ‘Daddy’ to care much about him. He would have given her anything, but now found that he was glad she never would have let him claim her. Spike wouldn’t have been here with Buffy if that was the case. He didn’t know what he was suddenly feeling for the girl. She was just a teenager, an innocent, but he had an urge to protect her from the world. From all the harsh disappointment that young people her age usually had to deal with. Spike may not be able to do that, but he could start with protecting her from Angelus. Everything else could come later. She was his now, and he wouldn’t let anyone take her away from him. He would kill anyone that tried, no matter the consequences.

“What are you thinking about?”

He was too lost in his thoughts to notice when she woke up. “Only about you, baby.”

She smiled. “I would hope so.”

Spike rolled on top of her. “Are you still tired?”

Buffy shook her head, licking her lips.

He smashed his lips to hers in a passionate kiss, different from the ones they shared earlier that night.

Buffy moaned into his mouth, running her fingers down his back. She took in a deep breath when he broke the kiss.

Spike touched his forehead to hers. “I forget that you need oxygen.”

Buffy giggled. “Yeah, I’m actually pretty known for it.”

Spike nuzzled his nose with hers, then positioned himself over her entrance and once again slid inside her pussy. The feel of her was so natural to him now. He couldn’t believe that he lived so long without this feeling. “Fuck, squeeze me harder. That’s my girl.”

Buffy felt touched by his words, never wanting the feeling to go away. She actually forgot about her nice, normal boyfriend.
