I couldn't believe that I let that slip out. I mean, I didn't want to tell her about that dream, because I didn't want to worry her at that point. She had too much on her own plate, but I might as well as tell her now. So I looked at her, and said, "Remember that dream I had a couple days ago?"

Buffy nodded, "Yeah? You told me that it was a nightmare."

"It was. I dreamt that I woke up during the night and decided to go to the bathroom when I heard howling in the distance. I shrugged it off and continued to go to the outhouse."

"Just tell me the important parts, Xander."

"That's what I'm trying to do, Honey."

Buffy blushed un-expectantly. "You called me honey?"

"I guess so, Buff. Is that okay?" I laughed nervously.

Buffy pressed a kiss to my forehead, "Of course it's okay, Xand."

Grinning now, I kissed the tip of her nose, "What's not to love? I adore everything about you."

Her eye brow rose in a cute way, "Everything?"

I nodded, "Everything, Buff. To me, you'd give Aphrodite a run for her money."

Slowly she leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I wrapped my arms around her back and pulled her close to me-melding our bodies as one. I lifted my lips from hers and began kissing her neck, suckling her soft skin gently.

I am so acutely aware of her now. God, I can hear her heart beat. Smell her shampoo, her soap, even the bubble gum she was chewing on earlier. My werewolf senses are just beginning to surface. I can smell her arousal. Okay, I'm wiggins here, but she's driving my senses crazy right now.

My thoughts on all werewolves subsided as Buffy began nibbling my earlobe. I had a hard time fighting the moan that was burning in my throat. All of a sudden a cough was sounded, yet neither of us pulled apart.

"Um...guys?"

That did it. Buffy and I pulled apart and looked at our best friend. The whole time we still had our arms wrapped around each other. "Sorry, Wills," she blushed, "we got distracted."

I grinned, "It won't happen again."

Buffy gave me a pout, "Are you serious?"

I leaned into her ear, and whispered, "We'll have some fun tonight when we get back to your room. Alright, Honey?"

Buffy gave me that sexy wink I love so much.

Willow glared at us; "Don't make me go all Snyder on you."

The mention of our former principal made us stop in our tracks. I sighed, "Did you have to mention that little rat, Willow?"

"It was the only way that I knew you'd stop," she replied innocently.

"I understand, but thanks for killing the mood," Buffy teased.

"Well, I wanted to know the rest of the dream Xander had. That's what started this conversation, but as soon as Xander said, 'honey,' you two couldn't keep your hands off each other. If I didn't know any better, I'd say we were back at that frat house when Buffy and Riley were like Duracell batteries of love."

But rather saying anything, Buffy leaned back toward me and kissed on the lips, followed my temples, cheeks, chin, and back to my lips.

There I was sucking all the juices that Buffy held in her mouth. God, I love her taste.

Another cough was made, but we stilled continue.

"Guys, stop this."

We pulled apart and Buffy blushed, "Sorry, Wills. Everything's coming out for the better. I felt horrible when my boyfriends in the past left me. But, with Xander, I know I have a soul mate, and he'll never need me."

I nodded and looked Buffy right in the eyes, "You don't need a prophecy to tell you that I will always love you, and I will never leave you."

Her eyes soon began too water, and I gave her a chaste kiss.

Willow slumped back in her chair. "Well, I'm just tired and want to get some sleep."

A grin appeared on my face, "I know you are. So, I'll just tell you about the rest of my dream, and we'll head over to the house after that."

"Or, we could talk on the way back to the house. Y'know, killing two birds with one stone."

I shrugged, "Works for me. How bout you, Buff?"

"Sounds cool."

Willow nodded in agreement. We rose out of our chairs, turned off the lights, and locked the door. As soon as closed the door, Buffy wrapped her arm around my waist, holding close and Willow walked alongside me on the other side. We felt like a close-knit family. Close-knit family? Where did that come from? I don't have the slightest idea. Anyway, we started walking, and I told the whole dream. Every last bit.

My girlfriend smiled, "I didn't know I had that much of an effect on you, Xan."

"Well, you do, and please don't take advantage of that." It looked like she was about to say something, when I noticed the house. "Buffy?"

She showed a perplexed look, "Yeah?"

"You're house! Something's happening!" I pointed out.

Buffy looked at me and grinned, "That's from you, Silly. Remember, you attacked us a couple nights ago."

I laughed nervously, "Right. Sorry. It's been a long day."

"Sure has."

The three of us turned to see Tara running frantically down the driveway.

I glanced at Buffy, "See, I told you something happened."

She rolled her eyes at me and turned to the frightened blond. "What happened Tara?"

Tara answered, "I just untied myself. Spike came and kidnapped Dawn."

Buffy just stopped in her tracks, standing very still.

"Buffy?" Tara asked. "Are you okay?"

A worried expression appeared on her face, "Spike." She growled. She turned to look at us. "Alright. Willow, you and Tara stay here and watch the house. Xander and I are going to find Spike now!!"

"Do you want me to come?" Asked Willow with what looked like concern in her eyes.

The Slayer shook her head, determined. "Nah. It's okay, Wills. I got my Werewolf Guardian with me." The mention of my power couldn't make me any more proud.

Pride swelled in my chest. For the first time in my life since our Senior year, Buffy actually requested for me to come with her.

With that said, Buffy and I headed for Spike's crypt as fast as we could.

"I'm sure she's alright, Buffy. Spike might be a lot of things, but even I don't think he would hurt Dawn "

"I know, Xander. And usually I wouldn't mind that she's with Spike. But, this time is different. He's hurt because I rejected him.I don't know what he might do."

I wish he had never even had a chance with Buffy. I turned silent and knew she could tell. Spike would always be a sore subject between us.

Always.

"You quiet all of a sudden."

I shrugged, never losing a step. "I'm tired of Spike threatening the people I love."

"*We* will deal with him," Buffy said with conviction, speaking of us together in this part of her life now as in her personal. I really needed to hear that. "Nothing will come between us and our family. Never again. We won't let it."

"Can I kill him?" I half joked.

"If he's done something very bad, yes."

"Even if he hasn't?"

"Sorry, but no, Xander."

I pouted, "Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"Yes."

"Please?"

"No."

Then it hit me, "You said yes. You actually said yes."

She shook her head, "Sorry, Xand. You missed your chance. But if he hurt Dawn, then you can. I won't stand in your way. I just might get to him before you do."

A smile crossed my lips. "Do you promise?"

She nodded, "I promise, Xander."

At that moment, we arrived at the crypt and walked down the steps to see Spike in the corner.

"Get away from her!" I yelled.

Spike glared at me, "What are you going to do, Droopy? Kill me?"

Dawnie! No! Please, God! Let her be alright! I then ran over to him and shoved him away from Dawn who looked badly beaten. Bruises covered her body. I looked at her, and my insides burned white-hot. I looked at Buffy and she appeared incensed. She was about to explode

With glaring eyes I asked, "Can I, Buffy? Can I do it?"
