Moonlight

Buffy awoke still blissfully unaware of her surroundings. No light yet entered the wrecked building, but a beautiful soft moonlight made her skin glow. As her eyes fluttered she noticed the cold body beside her own. That's when it clicked. She made a small gasp, which somehow was loud enough to wake her companion.

Spike reached out for her.

"Buffy.?" he asked quietly

He noticed her hand move to her neck. In a failed effort to find what she was looking for she removed her hand. Buffy glanced over at him, and then the floor again. In almost a whisper she spoke,

"You didn't." she trailed off.

"Bite you?" he asked, she said nothing. "No, no I didn't luv."

Buffy nodded her head slightly. He trailed his hand over her neck. She looked at him.

"Do you want to?" she questioned.

He touched her right cheek with his fingers.

"I'd never hurt you, unless you wanted me too."

Again she said nothing. She took a deep breath and found the courage to say what she was about to say.

"What if I said I wanted you too?"

A confused and painful look seemed to take over Spike's face. She knew he was worried about hurting her. Buffy took the hair away from her neck, and then kissed him gently. Spike deepened the kiss, then trialed off to her neck. Buffy moaned at his touched. He broke from her neck, feeling the overwhelming hunger come over him. Buffy started into his eyes, telling him it was okay. He touched her face again, and spoke softly,

"I love you,"

With that his features shifted into his demon form. He kissed her again, sucked gently on her neck, taking her in before he tasted her. Finally he couldn't take it anymore and sank his fangs into her flesh. He heard her whimper in either pain or pleasure, and he hesitated continuing. He only kept going after he felt Buffy's hand on the back of his head urging him on. He could feel her warm blood flow through him, he felt complete, like he had now devoured all of her. Devoured all of everything he had ever loved. After a minute or so he stopped, he knew he couldn't take much. His face shifted back to his human form. Worried for a moment when he noticed a change in her heart rhythm. He looked at her, holding her face in his hands.

"You okay?" he asked lovingly.

Buffy opened her eyes,

"I will be." she said trialing off with a kiss.
