Summary- Temptation; Try and get a little bit. There's really nothing wrong with it~ When Buffy and Spike come to Ispwich, for their next mission, they didn't expect to make friends with their targets. Soon, all hell breaks loose. To make things worse Reid's little sister, Ariella, is caught inbetween the crossfire.

***************

"How did you get in here?" Ariella whispered harshly to him. She felt naked in front of him. She was only in a white baby doll and matching white short shorts. He frowned, but only for a second. Wasn't she happy to see her savior?

"You know luv, you shouldn't leave your door unlocked. Some crazy person might just come in and wait for you. You should be happy I was here to keep guard." Spike said as he got comfortable on her bed. She put her hands on her hips and glared at him. She didn't even know his name or anything about him.

"We wouldn't want that, now would we?" She said sarcastically to him. He chuckled and smiled at her. He had a gleam in his eyes. It didn't scare her one bit. It made her want to know what it was there for. Why he was here? She wanted to know who he is.

"No, no we wouldn't want that." Spike said as his smirk just grew. Ariella would have said he looked like a goof, but she'd be lying if she did. She suddenly felt more uncomfortable, then she was already, with him in her room. She did want to get to know him more, but he had Thai cocky attitude she could tell. She was . . . was tired! That's right. She's very, very, tired.

"So we're agreed. We don't want that. So now that that's settled, you can guard me in your own room and I can sleep." Ariella said quickly. He cocked his head to the right and smirked at her. He could tell she was lying straight to his face. Her heart was racing. It was a dead give away, not that she knew that. Her voice also squeaked a bit. Yet another dead give away.

"Are you trying to get rid of me, pet?" Spike questioned her, already knowing the answer to his own question.

"Is it working?" Ariella asked.

"No, but maybe you should try harder." He said as if it was nothing. He gave her a once over, showing her what he was suggesting. He stretched with a yawn and got comfortable in Ariella's bed. The beds here weren't that comfortable. He had already tested his own in his room, but her's was being words. It does good to have money in this world.

"I shouldn't have to be trying anything! It's my dorm room, not yours." Ariella huffed as she moved her small hands back to her petite waist. Bad idea on her part. Spike licked his lips as he watched her. She saw the look of hunger in his eyes. A shiver ran down her spine just by looking into his blue eyes.

"I hear they're considering co-ed dorm rooms pet. Maybe I might just live here." Spike told her. Her jaw dropped. She, Ariella Garwin, was speechless. It's only ever once been done where she didn't have a comeback or a thought in her head because of someone. That only someone being Reid.

"By here, I'm hoping you mean out there." Ariella said as she pointed to the door. He caught the meaning of her words. He wasn't going to give in to her. Hell no. Spike, the big bad, does not give in to a human girl. He smirked and tilted his head back to the left.

"But luv, your bed is so much more comfortable than mine." He said with a smirk playing on his pale lips. She shot him a glare. This guy just doesn't give up does he? Good, because neither does she.

"Get your own. How does that sound?" She told him, her glare never wavering once. He chuckled at her 'don't give up' attitude. She wasn't getting rid of him that easily. Something about her called to him. Was it her blood? Her looks? Her innocence? He just didn't know. But he sure as hell was going to find out.

"Sharing is caring though, pet." He said in a low voice. It just drew her in more to him. She shook her head. She knew that she couldn't let him stay. He'd end up staying the whole night. She didn't know this man at all.

"Who says I ever share?" She shot back. She smiled seeing his smirk waver a bit. His smirk, much to her delight, returned. He stood up and made his way over to her, stay only mere inches from her. She froze. What was he doing?

"Good. I don't either, pet." He purred into her ear. She shivered for the third time since she returned home from the party. He smirked knowing this was going on. He heart was racing. He was in heaven, yet at the same time at hell. He couldn't suck her dry. She was too important. Something was pulling him back. He wanted to know what. She took a side step away from her before he could touch her soft skin. She opened her door and pointed to the hall, not once speaking another word to this stranger.

He chuckled, getting the message she was sending him. 'Get the hell out'. He nodded with a chuckle and walked right out her door, but stopped right next to her. He turned and walked right up to her, towering over her completely. He leaned in slowly. "I always get what I want, my pet." He said in a husky voice, his lips so close to her ear it made her red. He smirked as his lips came close, too close, to her own lips. He wore a grin of victory seeing that she was fighting still. "Always.." He told her before he left, leaving her flustered where she stood.

　

Ariella yawned as she walked down the hall way to go to her locker. She didn't give herself enough sleep. She couldn't sleep knowing that guy knew where her room was, yet she had no idea who he was. She realized shortly after the man left that she still didn't know his name. She didn't even know if he went to Spencer.

"Late night?" A voice came up behind her. Ariella yawned again and nodded. She shook her head a bit to wake herself up before she turned to look who was talking to her. The girl looked familiar a little bit. Buffy Summers. That's who the girl next to her was. Sarah's new room mate.

"You could say that. You look wide awake though." Ariella giggled. She wished she was wide awake. She didn't have anyone in her classes. If she fell a sleep she was screwed. It was different for her brother. He had Tyler and the others to wake him up if the teacher was looking his way. It really sucked being only a freshman. Buffy giggled too. She's gotten so use to late nights that they didn't affect her like it would a normal person.

"What a little sleep and make up can do, huh?" Buffy joked with Ariella. The two girls laughed together. "So any more clues on who the mystery knight in shining honor is?" Buffy asked the young girl. Ariella blushed thinking of her savior and looked down. Buffy saw this and smiled to herself. Spike left a good impression on her from what she could see.

"Not really. I didn't see him much last night. It happened so quick. One second Aaron's . . . pinning me against a tree." Ariella pauses. Buffy can tell that last night had it's ugly moments she'd rather not remember "The next he's off of me, and I'm crying in this man's arms." Ariella finished telling Buffy. Buffy nodded, it still shocked her Spike didn't come back for a bite. She hasn't seen him since he took off last night.

"Sounds like a real Prince Charming." Buffy smiled as they came up to Ariella's locker. Arella smiled and nodded as she opened her locker and grabbed the right books that she needed. Buffy smiled. Maybe Spike will actually do something right. It's Spike though, Buffy never knows what he'll do next.

"He actually was in my room when I came back from my shower last night." She mumbled to Buffy under her breath. Buffy heard her and her teeth clenched together. She didn't see any bite marks on Ariella's neck. Spike wouldn't be stupid though. If he was to bite someone and change them he would bit somewhere that would be covered up.

"Really? Did he hurt you?" Buffy asked. She wanted so badly for Spike to be completely smart for once. She hoped to god he didn't blow everything by turning Ariella into a vampire. Before Ariella could answer, someone interrupted them.

"Did who hurt Ariella?" Sarah asked as she interrupted the two other blonds. Ariella gulped. If Sarah found out, she would surely tell Caleb. Who would tell Pogue, then he would tell Tyler. Then Tyler would tell Reid. She took a breath. Not that Reid would care though. He'd be like 'finally my sister got some action' while he danced for joy.

"Looks like Ariella's hero knows more about her than she does him. She found him in her room last night." Buffy told Sarah. Sarah looked purely shocked. Buffy knew that the 'hero' they were talking about was Spike, but no one knew she knew already. She needed to be surprise when Spike makes a public appearance. Buffy knew he would be out and about. He knew as well as she did that Ipswich was always dark out, even in the day.

"Details girl." Sarah demanded. Buffy looked at her shocked. Sarah looked like the worried easily type. She was acting as if it was normal for a stranger to be in a fifteen year old's room late at night. Buffy was almost horrified seeing this. Ariella looked the same as Buffy at Sarah. Sarah caught the look and turned red on sight. Maybe it wasn't the best thing to say. "So what does he look like? Maybe I've seen him around." Sarah asked, changing the subject quickly. Ariella bits her lips trying to remember the man's face.

"He was tall. Blue eyes. Looked about Caleb and guy's age. Caleb kind of body build. Oh, and white hair". Ariella said with a blush. Sarah looked at her as if she was questioning Ariella's eye sight. White hair? She had to be wrong. It was dark, it could have been a light blond like Reid. Buffy bit back the laugh that wanted to leave her lips at Sarah's expression.

"White hair? Are you sure? He was around our age, right?" Sarah asked Ariella. She nodded, confirming her words a moment ago. Buffy looked behind Ariella and rolled her eyes. Sarah followed Buffy's graze and beamed. Ariella caught on and turned around. Her jaw dropped seeing who was coming to wards them.

"That's him!" She gasped as he approached the girls. He nodded in Sarah and Buffy's direction, only meaning to greet Buffy and not Sarah. He was dressed in a ridiculous uniform and looked like everyone else, only with his own personal touches. Instead of his suit jacket, he's wearing his duster. Ariella giggled seeing how stupid he looked with it on. Spike eyed over Buffy and Ariella. They both could pull off the uniform look quite well, Sarah on the hand. Not so much. She looked too dull and boring.

"Mornin' luvs." He said to the three blonds. He took Ariella's hand and kissed her knuckles slowly, his eyes never leaving her own. "Good morning, pet." He purred to her. She blushed and looked at Buffy for help. Buffy, to Ariella, looked like someone she could count on in the end. She didn't trust Sarah as long as she could throw her. Something about Sarah just didn't sit well with Ariella, never had.

"What are you doing here, Spike?" Buffy asked him with a glare. He was acting like Ariella belonged to him. She wasn't an item he could buy and own. She was a human girl. Spike caught the look of murder in Buffy's eyes and smirked back at her. He knew how she was playing the field. None of the 'sons' and daughter of Ipswich know she had seen him at the party.

"You two know each other?" Sarah asked as she looked between the two. Spike shrugged. He wasn't particularly pleased with knowing the slayer on a friendly term. Buffy just glared at him. Ariella watched with interest.

"You could say that." Buffy answered for the two. Spike shrugged again. His eyes were locked with Ariella's. Her eyes held so many questions in them. She was as curious as she was stunning. The warning bell went off, meaning that students should start to head for their classes.

"Buffy we have trig with the guys. We'll see you later, Ella?" Sarah asked as Ariella shut her locker. She nodded to Sarah and smiled at her and Buffy. Spike looked at his schedule and smirked. He knew exactly where his class was. He also knew where Ariella's was. Buffy made him make sure that he got classes near to her's and with Tyler and Reid. "Where are you headed, Spike was it?" Sarah asked him. He looked at his paper once more.

"History 105." He read out loud. Ariella's jaw dropped. He was going the same way she was. Sarah knew this too. She smiled as she looked at the two people across from her and Buffy. Buffy wanted to laugh at the look in Sarah's eyes.

"Ariella isn't your class down that way too?" Sarah asked out to her younger friend. Ariella's eyes widened. She didn't. Ariella looked for help from Buffy. No help. Buffy was trying her best not to laugh. Spike looked down at her in interest. No words were said after that. Spike nodded to Sarah and Buffy before taking Ariella's bag from her. He wrapped his free arm around her waist and guided her off the other way. Arella looked over her shoulder to see Buffy and Sarah both giggling.
　

******
Sarah and Buffy walked into their class in full out conversation. What about? What else? How cute Spike and Ariella had been in the hallway. Truth be told, Buffy was praying Spike actually got Ariella to her class and didn't do anything stupid. They found their seats in front of Tyler and Reid. Reid phased out the girl's chit chat right away. That was until Sarah said something she shouldn't have, yet again.

"She needs someone that will help her let loose and Spike looks like the guy to do that. I think he would be good for Ariella. He's everything she needs and more." Sarah said to Buffy. Reid's eyes opened and glared at the fake blond in front of Tyler. He leaned forward, his head in between the two girls.

"I think I'm the only one who gets to pick a guy who is 'good' for my sister." He butted in. Sarah shot him a glare for interrupting. Buffy didn't say anything, only because she knew he was, kind of, right. It was Ariella's choice about who is good for her or not. Reid got more of a say than Sarah did though. What with he being her brother and all.

"Reid if it was up to you, Ariella would be pregnant in a week." Sarah shot back at him. He growled at her, wanting to hit her so badly. If only she was a guy. Wait. He could make her one then change her back. Buffy placed her hand on his and gave him a look. She was on his side in this. Sarah took it too far.

"I'm sure you'd pick a great guy for her Reid. I don't know you that well, but I have a sister of my own. We fight all the time, but in the end we know what's best for the other." Buffy said to him. He nodded, thanking her. Sarah huffed and got ready for class. Buffy let out a breath. She missed her sister and everyone else back home. Class began shortly after that. Caleb and Pogue had showed up and took the two seats next to Sarah. It wasn't long until something was placed in her pony tail. She grabbed what ever it was and saw that it was a note. She looked back at Reid and saw him staring at the note in her hand. He wanted her to open it. So she did.

'Thanks'

Buffy smiled and looked back at him and nodded he was welcome. Reid smirked and winked at her back. She turned back around and returned to taking notes, not noticing the look on Sarah's face as she watched the two.
