3. Confessions Part II

The next day Buffy flatly refused to let Spike out of bed until she heard his stomach growling and realised she was starving too.

"Stay here pet, I'll bring you breakfast in bed." With that, he was gone to wait hand and foot on his luv, she had barely sat up properly before he returned.

Buffy looked uo to see a tray ladden with cereal, toast, eggs and bacon with both orange juice and coffee, as well as two mugs, one with blood and the other empty for her.

"Wow Spike! You cooked! Thanx! OK, praise given, now gimme gimme." Spike laughed as he lay the tray between them on the bed. She dived for the bacon, eggs and orange juice while he grabbed the blood and wheetabix.

They munched and chatted idly, content in each others company, happy together as they had always wanted to be..... until the phone rang.

"'llo?"

"Spike? Why are you answering the phone? What have you done to Buffy? Well?"

"It's the whelp!" Spike rolled his eyes as he passed her the phone.

"Xander? Hi! Congratulations, Dawn told us the good news, how..... what? He answered the phone because I had a mouthful of eggs and bacon and couldn't roll over him and lean across the bed to get it!" Spike looked at her, completely bemused with the reaction Buffy had given one of her best friends, all for him! Well, the Whelp and his demon knew then!

"What? Of course I know it's Spike! I love him that's why! And....... oh, hi Anya. Yes, lots of nice orgasms thank you. Tell Xander to calm down and that we'll come down and see you both later. OK, bye."

Spike was laughing so hard he almost fell off the bed.

"Only nice luv?" he managed incredeously, when he was calm enough to form words.

Buffy felt his lust rising again through the claim and could feel her body responding, she closed her eyes to try and calm herself down.

"No Spike! Stop it. We have to get up, Dawn will be home soon, and I wanted to invite the gang to dinner if that's OK with you? I want to make a formal announcement so they know how serious we are. OK?" Buffy tilted her head, almost shyly, hoping he wouldn't mind.

"Of course pet! But........... what about Giles and...... Red?" He gulped, saying the last name even more carefully than the first, he had heard most of what had happened since he'd been away but he really didn't want to find out the rest first-hand. He had been especially sorry to hear about Glinda, and had always liked Red, and could imagine how she was feeling, the same as he did when Buffy died. But, if Buffy was still too upset to have her in the house yet, he would stand by her, forever.

"I'll ring Giles after a shower, I'll ask him to bring Willow, but I'm not promising things will be easy. Plus, you might want to stay away from the wooden furniture in case Ripper makes an appearance. Willow always liked you, so I don't think you have to worry about a curse or anything. First though....... wanna join me for that shower? Race ya." Buffy jumped out of bed and ran with Slayer speed to the bathroom, forgetting she was completely naked. Spike hesitated for a split second, enjoying the view, but soon ran to join her.

"Spike? Cool, you're still here? Wanna come watch TV with me, don't know where Buffy has......."

"Spike, I'm getting lonely in here! What are doing?"

"Sorry niblet, duty calls, but definitely later, 'k? Oh, and can you call the Scoobies, Buffy wants to invite them to dinner, about 8. Oh and don't mention anything about 'us', Buffy wants to tell them tonight." Without even waiting for any response, he disapeared into the bathroom and Dawn was shortly met with Buffy's moans of "Oh Spike, sooooooo good." and Spike's "Bloody Hell, Luv." She smirked and disappeared downstairs with a half-hearted "Eauuugghhh" escaping her lips.

-------------------------------------

As hot jets of water ran over Buffy's skin, she felt cool hands slip around her waist making her shiver despite the heat surrounding her.

Buffy leaned against him as he began licking his mark again, she held her breath in anticipation, waiting for the sharp pleasure of his fangs sliding into her again. Her soul screamed silently for him to reaffirm their joining through the claim.

Spike managed to resist her pleas, wanting to explore her thoroughly before allowing himself to taste her again. Instead he ran his hands over her extremely aroused nipples, gently caressing her breasts and slowly moving down her body, taking a second to press lightly against her toned stomach, revelling in the feel of her tight muscles jumping under his touch. Buffy reached behind her and pulled Spike closer to her silently begging to be touched.

Spike complied and slid two fingers into her, growling as he felt how wet she was for him. He had to press his eyes shut to try and control himself, letting his fingers slide in and out of while his other hand worked on her most sensitive nerve.

"Oh Spike, sooooooo good." Buffy moaned, really wishing she could feel him at the same time but Spike's fingers were twisting as she moaned his name, he was finding it more and more difficult to control himself as she kept wriggling against him. Suddenly his hands were pulled away forcefully, and before he had even realised why he felt himself enclosed in a hot mouth.

"Bloody hell Luv!" Spike's arms went out to balance himself against the shower walls, she was sucking him as if her life depended on it. He felt her telling him over the claim what she wanted, he braced himself knowing how powerful it was going to be.

Spike roared as he came, managing to look down and see Buffy looking up at him as she swallowed every last drop he had. A second orgasm ripped through him as she nibbled and licked him clean. "Bloody Hell." He shputed as he punched a hole through the tiled wall.

"Spike! You're gonna have to.........." Buffy broke off as Spike spun her round and pushed her against the wall and dropped to his knees, pushing her leg up over his shoulder and proceeded to devour her. His tongue whirled over her, making her dizzy. She began to wobble, her knees were still weak after the night before. Before she fell, Spike stood and lifted her with him, wrapping her legs around his waist and entered her with one strong thrust.

That was all it took, Buffy came with a scream and kicked the shower door off it's hinges. Spike continued moving inside her, carrying her straight through a multiple orgasm as he finally drove in to her hard and deep, sinking his fangs back in her neck as he came.

"Ummmmm, Luv? I think your bathroom needs remodelling!" Spike grinned, he was still in her, and showed no signs of letting her go.

"Spike, that was......... wow....... I'll....... ummmmm........ can you carry me back to the bedroom? Wait! Towels! OK, go." Buffy tried not to laugh as they passed Xander in the hallway, when Spike, only covered by a small towel, growled at Xander threateningly.

"Wanna turn your head boy? She's not exactly dressed for..... well, she ain't dressed at all. Wait downstairs!" Xander turned and nearly fell down the stairs as he turned and caught a glance of Buffy as Spike took her into the bedroom and the towel slipped. "Xander, move it!" Spike was not playing, but Buffy was enjoying this possessive streak so she just let the towel fall to her waist, giving both Spike and Xander an eyeful.

The last thing Xander saw, as the door slowly closed by Spike's foot, was Spike's hand between her legs under the towel and Buffy's head thrown back in ecstacy as his fangs sank back in to her neck. Xander rushed back to the door to 'save' Buffy, when the door was flung open! Buffy was standing there, just the towel covering her, a menacing look on her face. "See something you want Xander?"

She laughed as she heard Spike's thoughts "not bloody likely woman", before he said "Xander, unless you want a peep show, piss off! And that was not an offer!"

Xander left, very quickly.

"You shouldn't tease the boy Luv! You know he wants you, given half a chance, not that he has a hope in hell, right pet?" There was a tone of jealously, mingled with amusement, but Buffy could also hear a slight hint of insecurity in his question.

"Only you can handle me, literally" Buffy laughed as Spike's eyes popped out of his head as he focussed on what his Slayer had put on while he was ranting. She was wearing very tight, black leather trousers, definitely no underwear, which made him growl loudly, and a blood red top which hung perfectly off her shoulders, barely concealing her powerfull frame. It also, Spike noted with deep pleasure, showed off their claim. As she took his fingertips and brought them to the mark, he realised she had chosen to display their mark purposely, he was so proud to have her put the mark on show so eagerly. It said more than words ever could about her commitment to him.

Spike's thoughts were very clear, and she could see the love, and feel it, in his eyes as well as something else. She blinked back the tears as she realised he was pleased she had chosen to show off the mark, and why not? She wanted them all to know that they were together, and that meant abiding to Vampire lore too, she knew how much it would hurt him if she tried to cover up the mark. "You trying to make me even more crazy about you than I already am? 'Cause I don't think that's possible Luv! Come here?" It was a plea and a command, and Buffy responded eagerly.

For the next ten minutes they just lay together as Spike reaffirmed the claim for the final time. It was done, the claim was permenant, and no spell or intervention of any kind to be done to break their bond from now on. They were forever joined!

----------------------------------

"That Xander is going to get himself in trouble you know! I could almost hear him leering at you pet!" Spike's purring was broken briefly by a soft growl.

"Spike, I Love You! And please don't say that about Xander! I won't be able to look him in the face. Besides, he's got Anya again, he wouldn't dare risk losing her again!" Buffy has an 'eauuuugggghhhhhh' look on her face as she contemplated the idea of Xander thinking, and wanting, her in that way.

"He just better not try anything, that's all!" Spike growled again, in protest more than anything else.

"Spike, I only want you. FOREVER!" Buffy snuggled into him as his growls turned back into purrs. "Right, lets go down and see what 'we' can do for dinner!" Smiling as Spike chased her down the stairs trying to grab her again. She finally let him at the bottom of the stairs, and he swang her around only letting her down when she kissed him softly.

"OK, Luv. FOREVER." And made there way, hand-in-hand, to the kitchen.
