Chapter #1 - Unchained

“Just… give me something,” Spike pleaded. “A crumb… a barest smidgen… Tell me – maybe, someday, there’s a chance.” Buffy looked intently at him, considering her predicament. “Spike…” He stepped right up close to her, a hopeful expression on his face. “Fine,” she said gamely. “You – you have a chance.” Surprised, Spike tilted his head, studying her. “You mean that? You’re not just sayin’ that to –” “I felt it.” There was a flicker of disgust, but she dutifully suppressed it. “When we fought… watching you move, your – your body pressed against mine…” She swallowed hard. “I hated myself, but I couldn’t help it.” He knew it was true, had smelled the arousal on her every time they fought. Holding her in place by her chains, Spike moved closer, let her feel his erection against her thigh. “Yeah?” he prompted her, fixing her with a lustful gaze. Her eyes bravely met his. “Yeah,” Buffy breathed, eyes fluttering closed as he leaned in to kiss her. His hands tangled in her hair as his tongue forcefully entwined with hers. Breaking the kiss, Spike whirled around and staked Drusilla without hesitation. Then, he paused, gazing mournfully at his ex-lover’s ashes for a moment before turning back to unchain Buffy. As soon as she was free, Buffy instinctively lunged for the stake. “You’re an idiot, Spike,” she spat, catching him off-guard as she drove it into his chest. “Buff-” He looked at her with longing and betrayal, then crumbled into nothing. She let the stake fall from her hand, and as she made her way toward the ladder to the upper level, one thought echoed in her mind. Spike would’ve given her a fair fight.
