Chapter 20

“What’s going on in that mind of yours? Why would you ask that?”

Buffy shrugged, the smirk still plastered on her face. “I was just wondering if you were up for it.”

Spike shook his head. “The water is too bloody cold. Giles would stake me right and proper if you got pneumonia.”

She rolled her eyes. “Don’t be such a wuss, it’s not like he could really kill you. Besides, I never get sick. I don’t intend to start now, but if you don’t want to join me, that’s just fine. I’ll have to swim all by my lonesome, then.”

His eyes widened when she stood up and started to undress. The crazy bint was actually going through with it. He took off after her when she ran into the water, giggling along the way as she went under. Spike shook his head at her playfulness; she was just full of surprises. A minute went by and she had yet to emerge from the water, a fear like no other forming inside of him. “Buffy!” he yelled out, but couldn’t see her. He had his clothes off in an instant, diving into the ocean to search for his beloved. Spike was starting to panic when he still couldn’t find her, letting out an unmanly squeal when he felt something grab his leg, or rather someone. He glared at the laughing blonde, who suddenly appeared in front of him. “That wasn’t bloody funny. I was worried that you drowned, don’t scare me like that again.”

Buffy sobered up when she saw the look of concern in his eyes, laced with a hint of fury. She wrapped her arms around him, not letting him pull away when he tried. “I’m sorry, Spike. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just wanted you to lighten up. I’m a really good swimmer; there was nothing to worry about.”

He relaxed in her embrace. “Still, this is Sunnydale. You never know what could be in here with us.”

She nodded. “You’re right; I’ve been a very bad girl. Maybe you should punish me.”

Spike raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? You should be taught a lesson. After all, it’s not smart to tease the Big Bad.”

Buffy tried not to laugh at the name he gave himself. “The biggest and baddest there is.” She lowered her hand to cup his erection under the water, giving it a light squeeze. “Definitely big,” she stated with a leer.

Spike matched her look with one of his own. “Vixen,” he commented, then smashed his lips to hers in a hard kiss, slipping his tongue inside to massage hers.

Buffy gasped when breathing became an issue, throwing her head back to gaze at the night sky as Spike started to spread kisses up and down her neck.

Spike wrapped his hand around his cock, positioning it at her entrance and slowly sliding inside. “Fuck, it gets better every time,” he whispered, making his thrusts hard and fast.

A wave crashed into them, but they were too lost in each other to notice.

“God, Spike, I won’t last much longer.”

That’s what he was hoping for as he plunged his dick further inside her pussy, hitting all the right spots.

Buffy cried out when she reached release, digging her nails into his shoulders.

Spike was breathing heavily, which was an odd thing for a vampire to do. He touched his forehead to hers as they both came down from their high.

Buffy stared into his eyes. “Okay, note to self, more ocean fun in the near future.”

He chuckled and placed a peck on the tip of her nose. “You’ll get no complaints out of me.”

“Well, I do have one complaint. I’m fucking freezing.”

Spike was about to respond, but she clapped a hand over his mouth before he could get a chance to.

“Not one word.”

They arrived back at the house about an hour later, Buffy all snug in Spike’s duster. She almost hated to give it back to him.

Spike took his coat from her, running his hands through her still damp hair. “I better not come in. Giles might be waiting with a crossbow since I had you out past curfew.”

Buffy smiled. “Thank you for tonight, I had a great time.”

Spike cupped her cheek, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. “There’s plenty more where that came from. You best get inside now. It’s time for all little girls to be in bed.” He amended himself when he caught the look on her face. “Young adults.”

“Yeah, that better be what you meant.” She gave him one last kiss, then headed into the house.

Spike watched her go, turning around to head over to his tree outside her window. He saw her light turn on, then her head appear out of the window a second later. Spike blew her a kiss. “I love you,” he claimed, but not loud enough to wake the neighbors.

A bright smile lit up her features. “I love you, too.” With a final wave, she went back inside her room and closed the windowpane.

Spike remained there, until he saw her light turn off. Satisfied that his girl was safe for another night, he made his way back to his crypt.

“Hey, what’s with the giddy expression?”

Buffy was broken out of her Spike-induced thoughts by the presence of Willow. “Sorry, I just can’t stop thinking about him.”

Willow smiled and sat across from her friend. “You really have it bad. That must have been some date.”

Buffy blushed when she thought back to the previous night. “You have no idea.”

“I think I have some idea,” she commented when a familiar girl walked over to their table and gave a shy smile. Willow decided to introduce them once she reached their side. “Buffy, this is Tara; she’s in my History class. Tara, this is my best friend Buffy, the one I told you about.”

Buffy smiled at the newcomer. “Hi, it’s nice to meet you.”

She smiled as well. “I…It’s nice to meet you, too. I…I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Willow motioned for Tara to sit down next to her. “She just moved here and doesn’t really know a lot of people yet.”

“Well, you’re welcome to hang with us, the more the merrier.”

Tara was taken by surprise, not expecting the blonde to be so cheery.

Willow noticed and whispered in her ear. “New boyfriend,” was all she said.

Tara nodded in understanding, realizing that she finally liked the place her father decided to move to.

Buffy was humming to herself as she perused through the books in the library. She usually always found herself there during her study period. Buffy nearly screamed when a hand reached out and pulled her behind the stacks, slapping at Spike’s chest once she realized it was him.

“What are you doing here?”

Spike gave her his trademark smirk. “I was lonely without you, so I decided to pay you a visit. I knew you were bound to show up here at some point.”

Buffy gasped when he trailed a finger under her skirt, moving her panties out of the way. “We can’t do this here.” She meant to sound more challenging, but it didn’t come out that way.

“We can be very quiet, this place is practically deserted.”

Buffy bit her lip when one long finger slid inside her pussy. “You might be able to keep quiet, but I can’t make any promises.”

“Don’t be such a wuss,” he said, throwing her words back at her.

Buffy glared at him and grabbed the lapels of his coat, crushing her lips to his.

He wrapped his arms around her and gave back as good as he got.

Buffy lowered the zipper on his pants, taking him inside of her with one quick thrust. She pulled away after a moment, gazing into his blue eyes.

“There’s my girl,” he whispered, pounding harder into her. Spike could tell when she was close, smashing his lips to hers as she let out what was sure to be a pretty loud scream. He held her close once she came, trailing his hands down her back. “You are so amazing.”

“You’re not so bad yourself,” she responded against his chest, pulling away to straighten herself out.

Spike tucked his cock back into his pants, running his fingers through his hair. He was about to answer, but a gasp had them turning around to see the shocked face of Harmony standing there. The look she was giving them proved that she knew just what they were doing.

Buffy grinned and grabbed Spike’s arm, pulling him by the cheerleader and not even bothering to grace her with a second glance.

Harmony was still staring at the spot they were once standing, Buffy’s voice floating back to her.

“Who would have thought that Harmony actually knew where the library was?”
