Dark Cravings -- by Serpentine Malfoy
Part 5
Willow slowly woke up. She felt a cool body pressed behind her with a cool arm draped across her stomach. After shaking the fuzziness of just waking up she remembered the wonderful night she had had with Spike after she dusted Harmony. He was gentle, much more gentle than she thought he would be. And after they had stayed up talking, about anything and everything. From her friends to his childhood in London. It was wonderful.
But Willow feared that when he woke the spell would be broken, he would no longer want her. His gentle nature would be replaced with the usual sociopath he was. She stiffened slightly at thought of losing the man she now realized she loved. With her almost imperceptable shake, Spike woke quickly. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her neck.
"Morning, luv." He whispered in her ear. Willow smiled, he still cared. It wasn't 'thanks for the pint of blood and the shag' but instead he seemed to still want her there.
As if reading her mind Spike said,"Willow, are you alright...I mean about last night..." Spike trailed off.
Willow turned in his arms and smiled up at him. "I am more than alright, I'm in love." She smiled at him, noticing how his smile changed from that of his normal cocky smile, to one that could only be described as pure joy. He leaned in and kissed her.
"So, Spike, what are we gonna do now? What do I tell the others?"
"Tell them the truth, you're in love with a souless demon, that worships the ground you walk on." Willow smiled again. Though it would probably be tough, she knew with Spike and the support of a very wary Xander she could convince the others that her life was of her own making.
And that is exactly what she did.
But that isn't the end of Spike and Willow's adventures, but those are different stories, for different days, maybe someday more will be told.
The End
