Chapter 14

“Oops, sorry, are you okay?”

Spike stood up, brushing himself off. “That was a bloody good kick. I may need to rethink these sparring sessions.”

Buffy shook her head. “I still have a lot to learn. I may not be the Slayer, but I know what goes on in this town now. I need to learn how to defend myself; I can’t depend on you to save me all the time.”

Spike pouted. “I like saving you.”

She rolled her eyes. “I’m sure you do, but I really want to learn to get myself out of a bad situation on my own. Willow has really inspired me. I’ve seen her in action and she’s amazing. I’ll never be as good, but I can at least try.”

He nodded. “All right, let’s go again.”

“Fuck, yes, I like my idea of sparring a whole lot better.”

Buffy panted underneath him. “This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.”

Spike grinned down at her. “That’s what makes it so exciting.”

Buffy matched his grin with one of her own. She then flipped him over, so she was now the one on top. “This is more like it.”

Spike moaned as she bounced on his cock, grabbing her around the waist. “That’s it, baby. Ride me hard.”

Buffy did as he said, fucking him harder and throwing back her head once her orgasm hit. She lay down on his chest, trying to get her breathing under control. “Do you ever get tired?”

He chuckled. “There’s a lot to be said about vampire stamina. You ready to go again?”

She groaned and buried her face against his neck. “I can’t even feel my legs.”

Spike ran his fingers down her naked back. “Mission accomplished, then.”

“Just give me a few minutes to recuperate, then I’ll take you on again.”

He smiled against her cheek. “I can hardly wait.”

“God, I really need to stop walking in on this.”

Buffy pulled away from Spike, grabbing his duster to cover herself up with.

Spike was nowhere near embarrassed to be caught without his pants on. “Hey, Red, nice to see you again.”

Willow nodded and kept her hands over her eyes. “Same to you, Spike. I just wish I would stop seeing so much of you. Let me know when you guys are decent.”

Buffy stood up and quickly got dressed, making sure Spike did the same. “Okay, you can look now.”

Willow removed her hands, sighing in relief. “My sparring sessions never end like that, which is a good thing since they’re usually with Giles.” She cringed at just the thought of that.

Buffy scrunched up her nose, but changed the subject. “Were we taking too long?”

Willow shook her head. “No, I just have something to tell you. Riley got kicked out of school.”

That was the last thing Buffy expected to hear. “Why? Did they find out about the Initiative?”

“Not exactly, let’s just say that Riley was caught in a very compromising position with Professor Walsh.”

Buffy’s jaw nearly dropped. “Seriously? You mean they were like together? As in the naked together?”

Willow nodded, not able to keep the amused smile off of her face.

“That is so beyond gross. I can’t believe I actually slept with that guy.” A growl had her turning her attention to Spike. “Sorry, but that was way before you. It wasn’t even very good, and now I know why. Apparently, he likes older women.”

Willow had to agree, even though she couldn’t understand what the TA saw in Professor Walsh. The woman was horrible. “I guess it’s safe to say the Initiative won’t be much of a problem anymore. I have a feeling Maggie was in charge, and Riley was her right hand man. Now with both of them not even allowed back on campus, I think the organization might just fall apart and have everyone go their separate ways. I can’t say that I’m not happy about it. I hate the idea of amateurs trying to do my job.”

Buffy thought about it. “Well, I guess it didn’t take him very long to get over me.” She noticed the looks they were giving her. “That’s a good thing, though. I’m just so relieved to not have to deal with him again.”

Spike smiled and wrapped his arms around her, placing a kiss to the top of her head. “The man was a bloody fool. No one would choose a wrinkled up old hag over you. I guess his loss is my gain.”

Willow had to admit that they were really cute together. When they started to make out again, she had a feeling that what she witnessed walking into the training room would continue and it was time to be elsewhere. “Yeah, gotta go now.”

They were too lost in each other to even notice that she left.

“Did you see that? I actually staked him. Yeah, I kinda missed the first time, but I got him when it counted.”

Spike grinned at her excitement. “That you did, baby. It was bloody excellent.”

Willow cleared her throat. “Okay, now you’re just stealing my thunder. Why do I even bother to show up anymore?”

Buffy could tell that her friend was only teasing. “Sorry, I guess I got a little too stake happy. This is lots of fun.”

Willow rolled her eyes. “Try doing this for almost five years and you’ll think differently.”

Buffy shrugged, a smile lighting up her features when she saw three vampires headed in their direction. “Awesome, there’s one for each of us.”

Willow glared at Spike. “This is your doing, you know that?”

He felt pride go through him at those words. “I take full responsibility, Red. She looks bloody adorable, doesn’t she?”

“I haven’t really noticed. We should draw the line somewhere, or she’ll start to think that she can handle this on her own.”

Spike shook his head. “That won’t happen, we talked about it.” He finally turned back to Buffy, only to find that she was already making her way over to the vampires. “Bloody hell, Buffy, baby, you can’t take them all on at the same time!” He exchanged looks with Willow, then they both joined in the fight. It didn’t take Spike long to defeat his vampire, noticing that Willow staked hers right after him, then took on the third one.

Buffy watched them fight together as all three vampires were dusted, then noticed them scowling at her. “What? I was helping. You guys looked busy.”

Spike prowled over to her. “You’re just a bloodthirsty woman, aren’t you? It fucking turns me on.” He grabbed her around the waist, delighted in the sounds of her squeals as he planted a hard kiss on her mouth.

Willow took a step back as they started to fool around on the ground. “God, at least get a room.”
