Not Long to Wait
Ch 26 – A Shovel
Dawn heard something and lifted her head off Spike's chest. "What was that?"
Spike smiled as he trailed a lazy hand down her back. "Angel. Again."
She looked at him. "Angel? Is he hurt or something?"
He chuckled and shook his head. "No, he's not hurt. Figure he feels bloody good right about now. He's just been doin' the same thing we've been doin' for the last six hours, pet."
She smiled and laid her head back on his chest then started tracing circles on his stomach. "Oh. Not sure what I heard. It was a roar, wasn't it?"
He nodded. "Yeah, caused by Red, I'd guess."
She nipped playfully at his chest. "This is so cool. Willow and Angel together. How'd you figure it out?"
"Smelled him all over her after she took him to his room to sleep off the Jack. She let out one hell of a scream just 'fore he roared this last time. You didn't hear it?"
She shook her head. "No, guess I didn't. I barely heard the roar, but I don't have super vamp hearing either." She got up and slipped into her robe then tossed Spike's robe to him. "We should get some blood into you and I'm starving. We've had a busy afternoon."
He smiled as he propped himself up on his elbows. "Yeah. One of the best afternoons of my unlife. So when you goin' shoppin' for me again?"
She grinned and pulled him to his feet. "Haven't worn out the stuff I bought today. Might be a little while." She slid her hands over his chest then leaned up to kiss him. "I love you, Spike."
He wrapped his arms around her and gently nipped at her neck, "Love you too, pet." He slipped the blue shirt off and tossed it on the bed then shrugged into his robe. She backed up, looking him up and down, then grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the door.
Spike chuckled as he was pulled forward. "What's the rush, pet? M'not gonna starve to death in the next few minutes."
"Maybe not, but seeing you in that robe makes me want to do things, and if I don't get you out of here then we're both gonna starve to death."
Spike laughed all the way to the kitchen.

Willow slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. *Where am I? This isn't my room.* She started to roll over and realized someone was in bed with her. She rolled over slowly and came face to face with a sleeping vampire. Her face flushed and she suddenly got very warm as she remembered how she ended up in Angel's bed. *Goddess, he's amazing, but is this what I really want? A vampire?* She reached up and gently trailed her fingers along his cheek. *Well, I've been with a werewolf, a witch, and a slayer, so I guess a vampire isn't too far out of my league. Plus he's smart and funny and so completely hot.*
He moved his leg as he rolled onto his back and the blanket slid off the bed and fell to the floor. Now she was lying next to a naked sleeping vampire.A very hot, very sexy, naked sleeping vampire. She gasped as she looked him over and her hand moved to his chest and lightly traced across the muscles. She trailed her fingers over his stomach and the muscles twitched just a little. She smiled. *He's ticklish.*
Her fingers moved farther down and lightly brushed over him. She laid her hand on him then leaned down and licked and nibbled lightly across his chest. She pulled his nipple into her mouth and suckled it as her hand started gently stroking. He moaned low in his chest and she stroked harder as her mouth moved down his stomach. She looked up at him when he growled, then smiled and took him in her mouth. His hands tangled in her hair as his eyes fluttered open. He looked down and smiled at the mop of red hair tangled through his fingers.
She took him deep into her throat and his moans got louder. She looked up at him and grinned when she saw his dark chocolate eyes locked on hers. She got up and straddled him then guided him to her opening, sinking down onto him with a loud moan. He looked up at her and smiled. "Nice way to wake up."
She leaned down and nibbled on his ear as she slowly rocked her hips. "Couldn't help it. You looked so good, I had to play." His hands gripped her hips as he thrust up into her hard. She sat up and leaned back and he started growling and thrust harder as he watched her bounce on him. Suddenly she was on her back and he was pounding her into the mattress with his fangs brushing her skin as if asking permission. She clutched his head and moaned, "Oh Goddess, yes!"
He thrust into her hard and deep as he sank his fangs into her neck. Her legs wrapped around him as she clenched and screamed his name. He roared against her neck as he spent deep inside her then collapsed against her and licked the bite closed. He lifted up and captured her lips in a blistering kiss then murmured, "My beautiful Willow."

Dawn and Spike were cuddled up on the couch, eating pizza and watching a movie when they heard it – moaning and growling coming from Angel's room.
Spike smirked. "Sounds like Peaches and Red are awake."
Dawn laughed, "Yeah." Something occurred to her and she quickly sat up and looked at Spike. "Should we be worried?"
He tilted his head at her. "'Bout what, luv?"
"Angelus." She looked at the hallway. "He lost his soul when he and Buffy had sex. Now he's having sex with Willow."
Spike shook his head. "I don't think it's gonna be a problem, kitten. He smells different."
Dawn tilted her head. "Smells different? What do you mean?"
Spike shrugged. "I remember how he smelled when he was Angelus and after he got his soul. Now he smells different. The soul's different. I think he may have found a way to anchor it."
"You can smell Angel's soul?"
"Yeah."
She smiled and leaned in for a long kiss. "That's kinda weird, Spike."
He shrugged. "It's a vampire thing, kitten." Suddenly they heard Willow scream Angel's name followed by a muffled roar and Dawn giggled into Spike's neck.
A few minutes later Xander bolted into the living room, blinking sleepily and clutching a sword, "What's happening? Who screamed?"
Dawn stopped nibbling on Spike's neck and sat up, laughing, "Willow."
Xander spun toward the hall. "Why's Wil screaming?"
Dawn untangled herself from Spike walked over to Xander, lowering the sword. "Angel."
"Dead Boy? What the hell's he doing to her?"
Spike muttered, "Don't think you wanna know, mate."
Dawn leaned in and whispered in Xander's ear. He pulled back and goggled at her. "But... she's gay!"
Dawn shook her head and lay back down on the couch next to Spike, slipping her hand inside the robe and scratching her nails lightly across his chest.
Xander dropped into a chair and dropped the sword on the floor next to it. "What about Angelus? Don't we have to worry about that?"
Spike shook his head. "No, don't think we do."
Dawn chuckled, "Spike says he smells different."
Xander leaned forward and dropped his head into his hands. "I must still be drunk because nothing is making any sense. My gay friend Willow is getting all groiny with Dead Boy and he smells different. Right. I'm going back to bed. Maybe the world will make sense the next time I wake up."
Angel walked around the corner with Willow's hand in his. "I smell different? What are you talking about?"
Spike sat up and smirked at Angel. "Your soul. It's anchored, innit?"
Angel nodded. "Yeah. Years ago."
Dawn jumped off the couch and grabbed Willow's hand then they walked toward the kitchen, whispering and giggling. Angel and Spike watched them leave then looked at each other and Spike smiled. "This could be interestin'."
Xander got up and stalked toward Angel then stopped in front of him and looked him square in the eye. "What's going on with you and Willow?"
Angel met Xander's steady gaze with one of his own. "I love her."
"Does she know that?"
"Not yet, no."
"Do you plan to tell her?"
"Yes."
Xander poked Angel in the chest and growled, "You hurt her and I'll beat you to death with a shovel."
Spike snorted, "Do you even own a shovel, whelp?"
Xander spun and glared at Spike. "I'll buy one special." He turned back to Angel. "Just for you." He turned back to Spike. "That goes for you too, Fang Boy."
Spike smirked. "What reason would I have to hurt Red?"
Xander growled. "You know what I mean!"
Angel laughed. "You do realize that you technically can't beat a vampire to death with a shovel, right?"
Xander scowled. "Maybe not, but once I'm done beating on you, I'll drive the handle through your chest. That oughta do it, ya think?"
Angel held up his hands as he chuckled and sat down. "Ok, ok, Xander. I get the point. I'm not going to hurt her."
"And I'm not gonna hurt the Bit, so you don't have to visit the gardening section of the local home improvement shop."
Xander ran his hand through his hair and sat back down. "Good. Just so we're clear." He looked up at the ceiling and sighed loudly, "Vampires. Why is it always vampires?" He looked at Angel. "Alright, Dead Boy, explain to me how this whole you loving Willow thing happened."
