Buffy was surprised at how quickly her life
had turned around. It was hard to believe only a few months ago she'd been
alone and broken. But since she'd gotten with Spike, everything had seemed to
change. She was no longer lonely, and every day no longer felt like a struggle.
Anya was getting her store off the ground, which meant Buffy no longer had to
suffer through working for Snyder. Her life was as perfect as if had been in a
very long time.
Which was exactly why she
didn't want to do anything to upset the status quo. One wrong move, and she was
sure she'd go back to being as miserable as she had been before.
She sat on the couch, staring at the tickets
in her hands, a sense of dread washing over her. She looked over at Spike, her
eyes wide. "Can't we just stay here? It's really nice at Christmas time,
you know. They have a big tree."
"Pet, you haven't been back home since you came here. And it's Christmas. Anya's
giving you time off and everything," Spike said.
"It's a pretty tree. Lights
and everything."
"I've seen it on the telly."
Buffy sighed. "I left there for a
reason, you know. My mother—not really on the top of my list of people I want
to see."
"I know." Spike reached out and
placed his hand on top of hers. "It's not just your mum that's there. Dawn
really misses you."
Buffy blinked. "She does? I figured
she'd be thrilled getting to live like an only child."
"Only on the outside," Spike
replied with a wink. "She does miss you. And my da worries about you all
the way out here."
"Really?"
"Yeah. There are people back in Sunnydale that love you,
Buffy. Your mum included, even with the rocky past you two have."
Buffy sighed. "I know. It's just…it'll
be difficult. And I don't know if I can be around you and not act like I'm with
you."
Spike pulled his hand away. "So we're
still a secret then."
"Spike…honey, don't look like that.
It's not because I'm ashamed of us or anything. It's just…well, I know my mom's
going to make a big deal out of it, and I really don't want there to be anymore
stress than there already will be."
"They're going to have to know sooner
or later, and this could be the perfect time to tell them," Spike replied.
"We'll be there, so they can see us together—get more used to the
idea."
"She'll flip, Spike. And then the whole
trip will be really, really awkward."
"We're not leaving for another week. We
could call them ahead of time, let them…"
"No."
"You know, Buffy, we're going to be
there for five days. Do you really think we can go that long without as much as
a kiss?"
Buffy bit her bottom lip. Since that first
night, they'd rarely gone even as many as two days without having sex. She knew
five days would drive her to the point of either tearing all his clothes off or
spontaneously combusting. "We'll just have to be secretive about it."
"So what, I sneak into your bedroom and
ravish you when your mum's asleep?"
"Could be fun…"
Spike sighed. "But I don't want that
with you, pet. And I'm not even sure I could keep that up. It's so natural for
me to just take your hand, or brush your hair out of your eyes. It's little things like that that are going to give us
away."
"Then you'll just have to be really
careful about what you do around our parents," Buffy said. She frowned.
"And calling them 'our parents' sounds really creepy."
"Little bit, yeah," Spike replied
with a similar expression on his face.
"You dad and my mom," she amended.
"Better," Spike agreed. "You
know, they might be happy for us. Your mum does like me."
"She thinks of you as a son,"
Buffy replied. "Just trust me when I say she'd wig."
"So when do you plan on telling them
then? When their first grandchild is born?"
Buffy's eyes bugged. "When what? Since when are we having
kids?"
Spike stood up. "I suppose never, since
this apparently isn't all that important to you."
"What!?" Buffy exclaimed. "How can you say that? You
know I love you, Spike."
"Then why can't you tell your mum?
She'll get used to the idea soon enough."
"Spike, please. You know how things
were when I left home. This trip back is going to be hard enough without any
added stress."
"Oh, so now I'm added stress?"
Spike asked angrily.
"No! You're not that at all! I just
meant…"
"Yeah, I think I know what you
meant," Spike said, turning around and walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Buffy
called after him.
"Don't know. Just…someplace else,"
Spike replied.
Buffy got up from the couch, running and
pushing herself against the door to block it. "Spike, please."
"Get out of my way, Buffy."
"Spike, I'm sorry. I just can't do this
with my mother right now. Just try to understand, please. Please…"
Her eyes were filling with tears, and Spike
felt his anger quickly being replaced with a need to comfort her. He pulled her
into his arms, her head going against his chest. "Don't cry, kitten. I'll
stay."
"Don't think this means I don't love
you, because I do," Buffy said, wrapping her arms tightly around him. And
you're not more stress. If anything, you've taken so much of my stress away.
It's just my mother. Seeing her again is going to be really difficult, and I
need to minimize the complications."
Spike closed his eyes for a moment before
opening them again and responding. "I know. And if that's what you need,
I'll give it to you."
Buffy looked up at him, her eyes damp.
"You will?"
Spike wiped a tear away from her cheek with
his thumb. He never could tell a crying woman no… "'Course.
And it's only for a few days. We'll be back here to our normal life together
soon."
Buffy gave him a small smile. "Yeah." Her smile changed as she pulled back
slightly, placing her hands against his chest. "And think about just how
much I'll owe you."
Spike grinned, his tongue curling over his
teeth. "Owe me, huh?"
"Oh yeah. This constitutes a big, big favor."
Spike reached down to cup her ass, pulling
her forward so she was flush against him. "I'm going to hold you to
that," he said, his voice low and making her shiver.
"Think maybe I could work off a little
of that now?" Buffy asked, rubbing herself slowly against him.
Without a word, Spike reached for the
waistband of the sweatpants she was wearing, pulling both them and her panties off
before hoisting her up against the wall. Her legs went around his hips, her
mouth meeting his in a savage kiss as he unzipped his jeans, pulling his cock
out into play. Buffy cried out, clinging to him tightly as he slid inside of
her, wasting no time in finding his rhythm.
It amazed her how quickly she could reach
the point of desperation with him—and how often it happened. All he had to do
was give her a look, and she was his. The fact that he was pounding into her
against the front door and anyone who walked down the hall would probably know
exactly what was going on in there didn't seem to matter in the least. She
wanted him, needed him.
Oh yeah, five days of restraint was going to
be difficult.
"Buffy…" Spike moaned by her ear.
Buffy trembled at the sound, her hands clutching his shoulders tighter.
"So bloody hot, kitten. Every time…"
His voice was always enough to make her weak
in the knees, but the way it sounded when he was inside her, so rough with
desire… She moaned, pulling him as close as she could. "Talk to me, baby.
Tell me how it feels."
"So bloody good," Spike groaned in
response. "So tight…so hot. Perfect… Could fuck
you forever… Buffy…Buffy… My angel…my everything… Love you…love you so much."
Buffy cried out in orgasm, her body shaking
heavily as Spiked continued to drive into her until he found his own release,
calling out her name as he did.
Spike could feel Buffy's hold on him
slipping, and he knew the strength he had in his own legs was waning as well.
He let her slip long enough to refasten his jeans before picking her up and
carrying her into the bedroom, sitting her down on the edge of the bed. Buffy
pulled off her shirt and bra as Spike undressed. He then climbed into the bed
with her, pulling her into his arms and bringing the covers up around them.

"Are you excited about going home for
the first time in two years?" Willow asked as she and Buffy ate lunch
together the next day.
"Right now, I'm thinking more about that
last final I have to take in an hour," Buffy replied, poking at her salad
with her fork.
Willow waved her hand dismissively.
"You'll ace that. You've been doing great in that class all
semester."
"Yes, but it's sixty
percent of my grade, so if I bomb it, it won't really matter how I did the rest
of the semester."
"You'll do fine." Willow paused
for a moment before asking, "Your parents don't know about you and Spike,
do they?"
"No," Buffy replied, shaking her
head. "Spike thinks we should tell them while we're there, but then it'll
just be this big thing, and it'll make the whole trip even tenser than it's
already going to be."
"What makes you think it's going to be
tense?" Willow asked.
"Because my mother will be there,"
Buffy answered. "That woman and me in the same room—automatic
tension."
Willow frowned. She knew Buffy and her
mother had had a falling out, but she'd never learned the details. "It's
been two years, Buffy," she said. "Maybe she's gotten over whatever
you two were fighting about."
"That's not the problem, Wills. I haven't gotten over it. What happened…what
she did…it's not something I think I can ever forgive her for."
"Do you want to go at all?" Willow
asked.
"Yes and no," Buffy replied with a
sigh. "Spike told me Dawn misses me, and I miss her, too. And I would like
to see Giles. But I left for a reason, and the thought of going back makes me
really nervous. I don't want to have to dredge up the past."
"It'll only be for a few days,"
Willow said. "And then you'll be back here and won't have to worry about
any of that crazy home stuff."
"I hope you're right, 'cause I'm not
sure how much of my mother I can take without snapping. And trying to hide how
close Spike and I are is going to be really
difficult."
"Especially since the two of you seem
to have magnets in your lips," Willow teased with a smile.
"We're not that bad." Buffy
paused. "Are we?"
Willow chuckled. "Nah.
You're just obviously very much in love—with a healthy dose of lustiness thrown
in."
"Good, because if you think we're bad
in public, you should see us where we're alone." Buffy frowned. "Or not, 'cause voyeur Willow—kinda creepy."
Willow rolled her eyes. "Trust me, I can go on just fine without knowing what the two of
you do behind closed doors. I'm scarred enough from Anya's in-depth descriptions
of what she does with Xander."
"I'm still trying to block out the
story about the sex swing," Buffy muttered.
"No luck for you
either, huh?"
"Nope."
"At least we can suffer together,"
Willow said with a smile.
"Guess that's something." Buffy
ate the last couple bites of her salad before standing up. "Hey, I'm going
to head on over to my exam. I want to get there early so I can go over a few
things in my notes one last time."
"Okay. I was about to do that myself,"
Willow replied. She gave Buffy a wink. "Break a pencil."
Buffy laughed. "You,
too."

"Smells good in here," Buffy said
as she walked into the apartment. She smiled at Spike as he looked up from the
stove. "Hey, baby."
"Hey. How'd your last two exams
go?"
"I think they went well," Buffy
replied. "I didn't leave any huge sections blank. And there's the glorious
knowledge that I will never have to sit in Professor Walsh's class ever
again." She put her books down on the table and walked up to Spike,
kissing his cheek. "You're such a sweetie. Making
dinner."
"Also went by the video store and
picked up a copy of The Cutting Edge.
Figured you could use a quiet night in."
"Ooh. I love that movie."
"I know. You and your ice skating
obsession… Why do you think I got it?"
Buffy wrapped her arms around his waist.
"You do know you're the best boyfriend ever, don't you?"
"I've had my suspicions."
Buffy gave him a quick kiss before pulling
away. "Do I have time for a shower before dinner?"
"Sure, pet. Go wash away the last of
that finals stress," Spike replied.
"Okay. I'll be out in a few."
Buffy smiled as she walked towards the bathroom. This was perfect, just the way
she wanted her life to stay. But any change could disrupt everything, and she
couldn't take that. She needed this too much.
She let out a deep breath, hoping that they
could make it through whatever they had to face back in California.

Yes, this story is back. And I've already
started work on the next chapter, so hopefully it won't be so much time between
posts again. This story just tends to be very hard for me to write, and I have
lots of blocks, which is why it's been taking so long.
