Spike woke up the next morning and smiled. Ginny was sleeping peacefully next to him. She was perfect, in every way, he decided. Her red hair was cascaded across the pillows, looking like a halo of fire. She was absolutely gorgeous. He felt attached to her now. He wondered how he could fall in love with someone in such a short amount of time, but it didn't matter anyway, because it had already been done, but he still wondered....

He ran a hand through her silky locks...thinking about the night before. It was perfect..... no, better than perfect. He had made love to her. It was soft and gentle at first but slowly progressed to fast and hard. He had also marked her, on the neck. He remembered, just before they climaxed, he looked into her eyes for permission, and then bit into her neck. She was probably the best thing he had ever tasted, but he still made sure not to take too much.

He was brought out of his thoughts when she started to wake.

"Spike" she said a bit groggily. He smiled.

"I love you Virginia"

"I love you too William"

His eyes widened and she wrapped her arms around his neck and cried tears of sadness and happiness. Happiness because of this love she had found and sadness because she had to give it up.

He seemed to be reading her thoughts because the next thing that came out of his mouth was:

"Damn Angelus, damn him to hell" He said and silently promised revenge on the bastard, he wouldn't let him have HIS girl. Not now, not ever.

Her heart was breaking, she could practically feel it splitting into pieces. She had to give him up or Angelus would ruin their lives. He had connections with Voldemort, and was strong by himself. He'd rip her friends and family to shreds. Hell, he'd probably make her watch. She had already seen what he had done to Spike, and didn't want that to happen again. She couldn't take any chances. She knew what she had to do.

"We can't do this" she told him, silent tears running down her face.

"Why?"

"Angelus" she said, and started sobbing.

He kissed her tears away and began to form a plan in his head. Their lips met and the kiss was full of passion and pain. She broke it off.

"I love you, but we can't do this" she told him and got up to leave. She quickly changed and went out the door.

"I love you t-" he started to say, but she was already gone. Then, for the first time in over a century, William the Bloody truly cried.
