:D Hey there! Sorry this took me a little into the week before posting. Med Term has totally trashed the little bit of my mind I have left. I'm finally starting to catch up to where I got writer's block, but hopefully I'll keep ahead; if only a little. Enjoy!

Warnings: Nothing really, just some plot filler :)

Xander had paced around the basement silently, wondering how long he would have to wait for Spike to show up. Eventually he sat down, knowing he wasn't going to calm down; though his leg still bounced in anxious wait.

'Spike's fine, he can take care of himself.' 'If that bitch even touches him, I'm taking her down.' 'Calm down, we'll do no such thing.' 'Says you.'

Xander was confused. Now that the demon was awake again, he thought he'd feel outta control like last time. It was all so different. Instead of fighting for the control of his own body, it was like he was sharing it. He felt choppy, un-leveled waiting for Spike to show up. Once he heard the knock on the door and the call out of 'I'm coming in whether you bloody like it or not' he couldn't stop the happiness that flooded his insides. The moment the door shut and Spike was inside, he threw himself at the vampire, nuzzling his face into his chest.

"I didn't think you'd show up…"Xander mumbled out, feeling his heart beat faster as Spike's arms came around him. Spike couldn't stop the smile that plastered his face.

"Of course I'd show up, wouldn't miss it. Aren't you a cute little thing, nuzzling all up on me as I walk in." He chuckled when Xander blushed, and mumbled. Kissing the top of the man's head, he was going to move to the couch until he felt Xander sniffing him. He stood still, waiting to see what would happen. At first Xander thought he was just being overly cautious because of the demon, but when he sniffed Spike's neck; the smell of Buffy smothered him.. Growling out, he immediately started to lick and kiss Spike's neck. Growling low in his throat, he was pleased that Xander and his demon was working on removing the other's scent from his body.

"Mine, all mine," Xander and the demon growled together; biting down but not hard enough to leave a mark. Spike felt a shiver go down his spine, the other's possessive admittance to ownership pleasing him. He switched to his game face, pulling the other to look at him.

"Yes love and you're mine." He crushed his lips to Xander's, more than pleased to feel the other's arms wrap around his neck and fall into the kiss. Lifting him with ease like before, he grinned into the kiss when Xander wrapped his legs around his waist; purring into the kiss.

"Mmm~ Spike~," It made Spike's inside curl when the other moaned out his name like that, making him want to take Xander again. It was like he couldn't get enough. The other's taste seeped into his mouth, linking a physical connection between the two. Sitting down on Xander's bed, he smiled when the other moved to straddle his waist and nuzzled his neck.

"I really am glad you came by." Xander's cheeks were a light pink, not able to help his natural submission to the other. It made Spike happy to know the other was glad just to have him come by. He hadn't been this happy in way longer than he could remember.

"Me too love, is there anything you needed?" Spike asked, threading his fingers through Xander's hair; keeping his other hand on his lower back to remind him he wanted him on his lap, for when he had any notion to get up.

"Not a single thing, though I wouldn't say no to another kiss~" Xander retorted playfully, not able to stop a small wiggle of his hips against Spike's lap. Emitting a low, but playful growl, he smirked.

"I think I can do that kitten." Leaning forward, he slowly took Xander's' lips with him own. Feeling the other melt into him, he slid his tongue gently over the other's lip; making him gasp. Easily slipping his tongue in, he purred a growl when Xander moaned into his mouth. Slipping both hands under Xander's shirt, Spike slid them both up his back; his inner animal more than pleased at the tremors that racked the frame perched in his lap. Tangling his fingers in Spike's hair, he moaned a little louder at the other's cool touch to his hot skin. Crashing and cussing from upstairs broke them apart, Xander sighing as he reluctantly moved from Spike's lap. His brow furrowed at the other's frustration he could feel through the mark. Leaning back on his hands on the bed, he watched Xander grab himself a beer and accepted the one he brought over to him as he sat next to him; lying his head on Spike's shoulder as he sipped it. The silence between them wasn't awkward, even with the muffled screaming from upstairs.

"You know it doesn't bother me, right love?" Xander sighed, sipping from his beer again.

"Yeah, I know. I just hate it." Spike just nodded his head in understanding, putting one arm around Xander that he could lean on better. Kissing the top of the other's head, he smiled.

"So about you calling me William, love…," he trailed off in a snicker as Xander blushed, knowing where this conversation was headed.

Spike lay sprawled out on the couch, watching Xander mender around; picking up and straightening a few things here and there. Hearing his cell go off, he held up a finger to Spike and picked up.

"Xander Harrison, what's up?" Spike was surprised to hear a professional and serious tone from Xander's voice, but listened and eyed his mate like a meal. Who knew serious Xander could make him horny?

"No, I didn't expect that to happen so soon." - "Really now? Have you spoken to Mr. Rex?" – "Obviously, you should be nervous. This project was your responsibility, Mike; I could have you terminated just because of this." – "No, no I won't. Not this time at least, you need to learn from your mistakes." - "Don't worry, I'll stop by there tomorrow and straighten things out. Yes, I will also talk to Mr. Rex about it." – "I will also see to your punishment, but thank you for calling me immediately." – "Have a good night." With a sigh he hung up the phone, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"What the bloody hell was all of that?" Spike couldn't help the lust that rushed through his body. He had never even heard Xander speak with such authority and dominance. Not that Xander would dominant him, but him doing so was beyond hot. Xander looked over at Spike, forgetting for just a moment he had been there. Making his way over to Spike, he snuggled up against his side.

"Just some problems at a site that I'll have to deal with tomorrow, nothing too big thankfully." Spike looked at him curiously.

"I thought you did construction, how come you're never working anymore?" Xander looked up at Spike in surprise, realizing he didn't know.

"I totally forgot to tell you. About a year ago, a big shot demon named Mr. Rex took over our company. He could smell the demon in me, said it didn't matter if it was dormant or not; I was still the closet thing he had to comfort with all the humans around. He promoted me to attending manager. I oversee all work, and straighten out the bumps along the way." Spike was beyond shocked. He'd heard when this Mr. Rex came into town. He'd started building some places for specific demonic creatures to live in comfort, among other things. That and the man was said to be powerful beyond words, but seemed to keep to himself mostly; at least from what he could tell.

"I had no idea…oh wait, m'not surprised though with how resourceful and useful you are." Spike spoke with a small amount of pride in his voice; immediately sensing that Xander was close to tears at the support and worth the other showed he saw. Leaning up to give Spike a small, emotion filled kiss; he smiled.

"Thank you Spike, it really means a lot…"

"No need to thank me love." With that, he rolled Xander underneath him and kissed him deeply.

That's all for now :) Mr. Rex will be an major part of the story for now. Lemme know what you think! -R.F.
