Chapter 1

She lay there, face buried in her pillow. The low chords resounding throughout the room from her CD player. Her cheeks were stained with tears and the wall that had previously held a 'Dingoes' poster was visibly empty. The poster lay torn to shreds on the floor beside her bed. A knock at the door awakened her from her misery.

She looked up at the offending entrance and weakly shouted.

"Come in." Spike swaggered into the room with a wicked smirk plastered across his face. Willow immediately leapt from her position on the bed and was on her feet. "Spike! Wh-what do you want? Uh, a spell? I can do that."

She moved to run past him, but he grabbed her and threw her against her dresser. He moved closer to her with an evil glint in his eye that seemed to light up his face.

"I'll give you a choice. Now I'm gonna kill you. No choice in that. But... I can let you stay dead... Or... Bring you back, to be like me."

Willow looked up at the vampire that was clutching her arms, not enough to cause her pain, but enough to keep her steadied. "I--I'll scream."

Spike looked down at his prey his smirk widening with every word she spoke. "Bonus."

Willows scream resonated throughout the room. Spike chuckled and threw her onto the bed and turned up the radio to a blaring level.

"No!"

Spike jumped on her and they wrestled until Spike had her pinned down on the bed. He moved down to he neck to bite her and a massive jolt of pain hit his head throwing him backwards. Willow looked up, very confused.

"What is it?"

"I don't understand. This sort of thing's never happened to me before." He sat down onto the bed next to the alarmed redhead.

"Maybe you were nervous."

Spike frowned slightly, "I felt all right when I started. Let's try again." He leapt at her again only to have another lash of electricity terrorize his brain. "Ow! Oh! Ow! Damn it!" Spike got to his feet and kicked the dresser and started to pace around the room. "Maybe you're trying too hard. Doesn't this happen to every vampire?"

Spike frowned at her indignantly, "Not to me, it doesn't!"

"It's me, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, you came looking for Buffy, then settled. I--I... You didn't want to bite me. I just happened to be around."

"Piffle!"

"I know I'm not the kind of girl vamps like to sink their teeth into. It's always like, "ooh, you're like a sister to me," or, "oh, you're such a good friend.""

"Don't be ridiculous. I'd bite you in a heartbeat."

"Really?"

Spike sat on her bed again twisting his head to the side so that he was looking at her. "Thought about it."

"When?"

"Remember last year, you had on that... Fuzzy pink number with the lilac underneath?"

"I never would have guessed. You played the blood-lust kinda cool."

"Mmm. I hate being obvious. All fang-y and "rrrr!" Takes the mystery out."

"But if you could…"

"If I could, yeah. So what's got you all upset?"

"Oz.""What did the mutt do now?"

"He-He cheated on me and now he's gone off somewhere to 'find himself'"

Willow became suddenly aware of the low growl that was emanating from the vampire. "Spike?"

"Bloody mutt. Doesn't know what he's given up."

Willow noticed the situation she was in. Duh Willow you're sitting on you're bed with a quarter of the SCOURGE OF EUROPE. She stood.

"Anyway Spike Buffy's not here so your trip's kinda wasted"

"What makes you think I was coming for the Slayer pet?"

"I mean I-It's Buffy. As in 'look there's Buffy, athletic blonde girl who fights demons and look, she's with Willow. Yep old reliable Willow'." Willow frowned. She was sick of everyone seeing her as the go-to girl for homework. "It's not fair. I'm just research girl or, or patrol girl if Buffy wants to go play smoochies with Riley. At least my doppelganger had some style and, and she didn't take any shit from anyone. I wish I was more like her sometimes all lean and confident and dominant and, and wanted. Then we'll see who's moping. No. No one can stand being around the little depressed girl. They don't care how much she's hurting all they care about is how they're gonna get their history homework done without her to copy from."

"What? Don't you ever breathe? What's all this rot about no-one wanting to spend any time with you?"

"BUFFY. Today she had a go at me. I mean hello, broken heart here, in immense emotional pain. And all she cares about is that I'm bringing the mood down and that I didn't take enough notes in History for her to copy because she fell asleep. Again. Then tonight she says that she has to get out because she'd rather fight demons than spend a night in with me. I mean I thought she was supposed to be my friend but noooooo as soon as I need someone to be there for me she just gets up and takes Xander out on patrol and then to the Bronze. Did he invite me? Did she fuck. I'm just left here to get more and more depressed."

"It's her loss pet. Always thought they didn't deserve a friend like you."

"I know I mean when Angel left I was there for her to talk to and she just used me for that and now I need here she's just put me on the sidelines and why am I talking to you about this and god I'm babbling."

"It's ok Red."

Willow thought back to before she'd started babbling. "Wait if you're not here for Buffy then why are you here?"

"You, you daft bint."

"Why are you here for me? I mean if-if you don't need a spell"

"Did you mean what you said about wanting to become more like your counterpart?" He shifted closer to her on the bed, "More wanted," he ran his hands up her arm and across her neck, "More demanding," he lowered his head so that his low, seductive whisper was sounding in her ear and she could feel his breathe against her neck "more confident"

Willow found herself arching into his touch and closing her eyes, baring her neck to him. He led a slow trail down her neck with his tongue and he nipped it slightly with his blunt teeth. She moaned to his touch and was snapped out of her trance when she felt his teeth nip at her neck.

"Spike. What are you doing?"

Her pulse was racing. There had always been an attraction to the vampire. The danger, the confidence and of course the swagger along with that body made him desirable but it had never been more than a desire until now, until he touched her and he melted into him.

"I'm giving you what you want pet." He lowered his head and kissed his way back up her neck and then gently nipping her earlobe with his teeth. A lust-filled moan escaped her mouth as she pulled his head closer to her. She opened her eyes and pulled his head up to capture his lips with hers. He pushed back against her crushing her lips and throwing his coat off his shoulders and onto the floor while kicking his boots off to join it. She pulled the front of his shirt so that he was pulled even closer to her, her breast pushing up against his hands clawed at the back of his shirt, her thoughts incoherent, knowing only that she needed his touch. The cool heat of his body against her skin. The contact that would heal her pain or at least just block it from her mind for the minute. He took her hint and ripped his shirt off, a cascade of buttons falling around them. Her blouse quickly followed suit and within minutes their clothes lay in a pile at the foot of the bed. She clawed her way back up his body claiming his mouth and placing her knees on either side of his hips.

Spike took Willow's hips in his hands. That slender figure claiming his body. H hadn't seen anything this beautiful since Drusilla, no scratch that even she didn't match the supreme beauty before him. He lowered her down onto his rock hard manhood. Her wetness burned pleasantly around him. It wrapped him up tightly and held him for a moment before allowing him to slowly start thrusting in and out of her. Willow threw her head back in ecstatic pleasure. She gasped as he entered her again and again, pressure building inside herself. She lost herself in the moment and started moving violently against him. She came in a flood of supreme pleasure. She leant forward against his chest panting before starting to move on him again. Soon she was close to yet another release and she was screaming his name.

"Oh Goddess Spike! Fuck"

As another wave of pleasure swept her away and kept her captive for a moment. He didn't stop this time, he continued to thrust inside her, extending her orgasm and bringing her close to her third. A sudden unprovoked thought popped into her head and she expressed her interests immediately through yet another orgasm

"Fuck Spike! Bite Me. Please"

Without thinking he pulled her down to his mouth. He licked and kissed his way down her neck and suckled on her neck, nipping it with his blunt teeth to bring more blood to the surface. As she gasped and moaned at the contact he sunk his fangs into her neck, triggering yet another orgasm. This time Spike's feeding caused him to come with her, both of them screaming together. Spike's release caused him to drink deeper before he knew what was happening she was going limp in his arms. He stopped when her pulse weakened and she fell into unconsciousness.

"Red." He shook her vigorously, "Bloody Hell Red wake up. Willow."

Spike looked down at her and saw the goddess that lay before him He remembered her earlier words on how she wanted to be more like her vampire doppelganger. He knew how to save her. She would die if he didn't take action. He needed to turn her. He ducked his head to her ear.

"Red, I love you, I want to make you mine"

Willow stirred slightly at the declaration.

He vamped out and drew his fangs across his wrist, wincing slightly at the pain. He placed his wrist at her lips and instinct drew her to drink deeply from his wrist.

She awoke in his crypt feeling more alive than ever before to see him standing over her.

"How're you feeling luv?"

"I'm bored now Spikey. Wanna Play?" A smirk crossed both of their faces and the two undead lovers shared their bed for the first time.
