CH 10
"Goddammit, Spike! Get AWAY from your room! That poor girl's tryin' to sleep, ya know!!!"

Sighing in defeat, Spike turned away from his bedroom, which Faye was currently occupying, and managed to acknowledged sourly, "Yes, sir.....I'm sorry. I-I promise that I'll stop checking up on Faye."

"Good," Mr. Spiegel muttered, adjusting his black dress tie as he peered into the room to see if their guest was still sleeping. "After all, a beautiful woman like that can't be trusted in the hands of a nincompoop such as yourself. The poor thing's been asleep for nearly 3 days now and I don't want the first thing for her to lay her eyes upon after all of the hellish bullshit she's been through to end up being your God-awful face."

Spike, completely taken aback, bowed his head in dismay, acknowledging numbly, "Yes, sir....I promise that I won't be around when she wakes up."

"Excellent!,"
Mr. Spiegel praised as cheerily as he could muster, cracking a small smile that could've very easily been considered a grimace as he gave his son a pat on the shoulder that was completely devoid of all emotion or feeling. "If you need me, I'll be in the next room with the Wong's. You should come, too. They did, after all, let you take care of their step-daughter opposed to just taking her to a hospital. I'm surprised that they were able to put so much trust in a schmuck like yourself. Perhaps they were all stoned.....that's the only way that I would trust you, after all."

When his son didn't reply, Mr. Spiegel let out a low chuckle, then turned to head into the family room, Spike grunting inwardly the moment that he overheard his father's fake, sappy pleasantries being used to charm the poor unsuspecting family.

"I wish he'd treat me like that," Spike thought wistfully, averting his clouded gaze down to his bare feet as he let out a sigh full of embittered rejection. "Even if it is a fake act, at least that way I could think that he's happy and loves me like a true father should."
**********************************************************************************************************************
Faye began to stir in her sleep as she overheard soft murmuring from her bedside, her deep, brilliant jade eyes flitting open in an instant as she suddenly came to realize that she was not alone.

"Spike?," she questioned out into the darkness, gradually sitting up in bed as she stared down incredulously at the slumped form that was half-way spread out across her lap, the other half dangling carelessly onto the floor like a limp rag. "Spike.....is that you?"

A soft snore welcomed Faye in response, a small smile gracing her full, rosy lips as she reached out a beautifully-manicured hand and began to stroke his surprisingly soft mass of moss-green hair.

This little act of fondness disturbed the heavy sleeper, Spike's warm, russet-colored orbs laggardly opening as he felt Faye's soft caresses continue to bathe his being in warmth and delectability.

Suddenly seeming to be able to put 2+2 together, Spike immediately lurched upward and out of her caring embrace in a moment of sheer astonishment, his apparent apprehension deeply confusing his friend as he stammered, "Oh...erm...Faye...I-I didn't think that you'd wake up since it's pretty late out, so I-I'll just go ahead and leave now and-"

"No," she urged, reaching out to him with a sudden desperation that he could not quite grasp. "Please stay with me, Spike......I don't want to be alone."

Something within the soft tremors of her voice caused Spike's heart to pound, thus leaving him completely thankful that she could not distinguish the faint blush of crimson upon his cheeks as he shakily sat back down beside her ontop of the bed and announced, "You've been asleep for practically 3 days......your shoulder wound's healing very nicely."

Faye suddenly gave him a fearful look as memories of the whole battle incident flooded back into her mind, her voice squeaking slightly as she asked apprehensively, "Nami.......is she ok?"

Spike nodded. "Yeah....miraculously, she pulled through and is in the hospital right now as we speak."

"Good," Faye acknowledged, considerably relieved. "And Randall.....is he ok, too?"

"Yeah....the coward ran away,"
Spike muttered, a fiery sheen burning across his two-toned irises as he thought about his hated nemesis. "The bastard took advantage of my caring for you once you slipped into unconsciousness. I-I must admit that you really scared me, Faye......I don't think that I've ever been more scared in my life for anyone or anything."

Grasping his hand tightly in hers, Faye nodded, agreeing softly, "Me, too.....that's why I jumped into your arms at the very last minute. I mean....I-I thought that I might lose you, or something, and I just couldn't let that happen."

"And I thank you,"
Spike mumbled almost timidly, giving her a warm, grateful smile as he shakily pushed the hair out of her shimmering jade eyes with care. "Um....goodnight, Faye.....I'm kinda tired, and I'm sure that you are, too, so I-I'll just go ahead and leave now."

"No," she begged, seizing him by the arm in an instant. "Please, Spike........stay with me."

Looking her over, Spike swallowed the lump of desire within his throat that was rapidly growing the more and more he thought about making her his own to love and hold, her soft, luminescent gaze captivating him and sending his pounding heart afire as he felt himself take a subconscious step forward.

Seeing Faye sitting there before him with her disheveled violet hair and a tantalizing amount of her pale, milky white skin exposed from her small, lacy black nighty, Spike realized how incredibly much he wanted to kiss her, his lustful gaze never moving from her enticingly full, rosy lips as he felt an undeniable want for her within his boxers as he desperately tried to pull himself together.

Sucking in his breath with slight trepidation, Spike asked with a hint of urgency that he hadn't quite anticipated, "Faye......before you passed out the other night, y-you said that you loved me.....and-and I just would like to know if you meant it."

Blushing the color of a rose in full bloom, Faye folded her hands down into her lap, then averted her gaze from his own before giving him a slight nod of her head. "Yes.....I-I meant it."

Letting out a deep, shaky breath, Spike admitted in a voice barely above a whisper, "I-I've come to realize that I love you, too, Faye, and I-I hope that you'll let me. I mean, I know that I've been a complete asshole and I don't deserve you, but-"

"Don't say that,"
she cut in, giving him an agitated look. "If anyone doesn't deserve someone, it's me not deserving you. You've been absolutely incredible to me, Spike, and I hope you know that I'll always be here for you. If you ever need me, feel free to just go ahead and say so."

"I need you," he acknowledged breathlessly, causing a deep crimson color to come to her cheeks as he buried his face into the crook of her neck and breathed in her heavenly scent with contentment. "I need you now more than you'll ever know."

"Oh, Spike,"
Faye whimpered, closing her eyes as he began to place deep and passionate kisses along her throat and cradle her hips against his own in longing, his expert fingers immediately leaving their mark upon her soft flesh as he traced them along her curves and most private places in several burning, graceful flourishes.

Faye bit her lip and tried her best to suppress a gratified moan as Spike's lips continued to sear along her soft skin, his warm fingers arousing thrilling titillating sensations that vibrated throughout her being like a small, tempestuous storm as he began to place fervid kisses along her jawline.

Whisking her beautifully-manicured fingers into his hair in a moment of heated desire, Faye pulled Spike in towards her for a demanding kiss, their hearts racing as their lips partook in a heated dance full of unrequited passion and appetance.

Rocking about within one another's possessive embrace, Faye gasped as Spike suddenly seized her by the wrists and roughly thusted her downward against the mattress, his warm, thin lips crushing against her own in a bruising kiss that tantalized her 5 senses to the point of sheer insanity.

Grasping and instantly releasing the hem of his white and blue pin-striped boxers, Faye moaned as she felt Spike's tongue run intimately along her full, rosy lips until she opened her mouth in a hungry acceptance, the feeling of his smooth, well-carved chest beneath her splayed fingers leaving her dazed and feeling as if she were in Heaven, itself.

Taking this to his advantage, Spike immediately deepened their kiss by delving his tongue deeper within Faye's warm, moist orifice, a soft cry escaping her lips before she ran her foot seductively along the bulge in his boxers.

Spike let out a low, throaty moan due to this little tempting action, his feral instincts taking over in an instant as he nipped at her shoulder and pinned her down in place firmly with his hips, his eyes closing as he felt the intriguing vixen place gentle butterfly kisses along his jawline and cradle his being against her own in longing.

"Wait a sec," Spike suddenly urged, causing Faye to stop in an instant. "I promise that I'll be quick."

Seeming to understand, Faye nodded, then blushed the color of a rose bloom as Spike reached for his boxers, her heart hammering within her bosom as she squeezed her eyes shut and listened to the sound of the garment dropping onto the floor with a soft, subtle thud.

Faye couldn't help but moan and peer out into the darkness of the room through hooded lids once two strong arms wrapped themselves securely about her waist and spun her around in an instant, Faye letting out a soft whimper as Spike thrusted her downward onto her stomach and immediately took her into his arms.

A soft cry of desire escaping her lips, Faye seized a fistfull of her bedsheets and let out a light hiss as Spike pressed his mouth passionately between her bare shoulder blades and breathed her name upon her warm, tepid flesh, his deep, fervid kisses leaving her stunned with a lustful paralysis that she couldn't possibly ignore.

Arching her back in ecstasy, Faye brushed her bottom up against Spike's currently very sensitive manhood by sheer accident, a low, feral growl escaping his lips as he tried his best to control himself due to their tempting, yet brief collision.

"My God, Faye," he moaned, burying his face into the nape of her neck as they both continued to lie there within a shroud of lustful bliss. "I love you.....I swear I do."

"I love you, too,"
she agreed breathlessly, letting out a peaceful sigh as he rolled her over back onto her backside so that he could gaze into her incredible jade eyes, her lips lightly caressing his splayed fingers as he placed them over her mouth in longing.

"No matter what happens after this, promise me that you'll always love me," Spike begged, his eyes filled with such urgency that Faye began to feel extremely sorry for him. "No one's ever made me feel the way I do when I'm with you, Faye, so please......please don't take away the one thing that makes me complete...................you."

Tearfully closing her eyes, Faye promised breathlessly into his ear, "I'd love you until the end of time, Spike, and I don't care what your father says about you. You're a beautiful, amazing person, and I honestly fall more and more in love with you each day."

"Same here,"
Spike agreed fervently, their lips crushing together in an instant as he began to gently ease her lacy black nighty up and over her head within a sudden burst of heated desire, Faye moaning under his kiss as he began to rock his hips againt her own in longing.

The moment that the small nighty was tossed aside like a worthless piece of trash, Spike's mouth began to ravage Faye's body in a hungry desperation, her back arching upward as his warm, thin lips seared along her smooth, level stomach and over her well-endowed breasts, a soft cry escaping her lips as she felt him gently pull her panties off of her slender hips before tossing them off to the side, as well.

Hovering over her trembling body, Spike seized Faye by the wrists and pinned them down above her head, a short, sharp pain shooting throughout her being the moment that he thrusted forward and took her into his possession.

Wailing, Faye titled her head back and let out a gratified moan, Spike biting down on her lower lip in hopes of quieting her cries of passion as her hips instinctively began to meet with his forceful, yet gentle thrusts.

Letting out a soft hiss, Faye grabbed a fistful of Spike's unruly hair the moment that he began to ride her harder and wrapped her legs about his waist in hopes of allowing herself to hold on tight, his warm, skillful fingers caressing her being to the point that she felt as if she were along the thin divider of consciousness and unconsciousness.

Melting down into her arms, Spike let out a throaty moan as he climaxed within her in a single burst of liquid fire, Faye whimpering as he gave her a long, deep, and passionate kiss upon her soft, rosy lips before he mumbled in a hushed whisper, "Goodnight, my sweet......I love you."

Feeling warmth radiating throughout her body due to his kind, sincere words, Faye acknowledged breathlessly, "Goodnight, Spike.........I love you, too."
