Chapter 29

Giles proceeded to tell Spike and Andrew everything that had transpired in Elizabeth's life. He told them her parents had been killed by Angelus. That he had planned to kill Elizabeth and take her estate. He told them how he had tortured Willow and that he had searched for and found an ancient spear that held the power to rule armies. Spike and Andrew listened.

"Now you know what kind of a madman we are dealing with. What you do know is up to you. Buffy needs help, we need help." Giles stood. "I do however owe you a payment for getting her out of that chapel." Giles began to take money out of his pocket.

"Put that away." Said Spike. He looked at Andrew. "You up for a stay near that ocean you love to listen to so much mate?" Andrew smiled.

"No one chasing us anymore. Why not." Andrew shrugged and smiled.

"Looks like you have two more guests." They shook hands and followed Giles up the stairs.

In the days after Willow returned to the house, Xander had moved into her room and there was again an extra room. Faith and Wesley were expected the next evening and they would need their room.

"I'm afraid you'll have to share this room." In the back of his mind Giles knew Spike and Buffy would eventually wind up in the same room, but felt he should at least give the appearance of not knowing. He said his goodnights and left the two men in the room.

"So," Andrew said, "spill."

"Spill what?" asked Spike.

"You and Buffy. What happened other than you getting her out of that chapel, that's what."

"I already told you."

"You told me she killed.." Andrew hesitated for a moment, "that she killed Ethan and the brothers Grimm. I'm not blind or stupid Spike. There is something going on with you two."

"If you think you're gettin' details.." Spike raised his eyebrows and looked at Andrew.

"I don't need details." Andrew put his hand up, halting Spikes inevitable rant. "But feel free to volunteer. I know you, I saw it. The way you look at each other when you think no one is watching."

"Andrew, you wouldn't believe me if I told you." Spike sighed in defeat. He shook his head and turned to look out the window.

"Spike. You walked in there tonight with a vampire we were hired to rescue from a chapel, which her ex-fiance trapped her in because he wanted to kill her and take her money, as well as recover a spear that has been missing for centuries so that he could rule the world." Spike turned and faced him, " What could you possibly say now that I wouldn't believe."

"Buffy is the woman in the dreams I've been having."

Andrew looked at him blankly.

"I don't believe it."

Wednesday 3:00 am - London

Their ship had landed at Midnight. Faith and Wesley found an Inn and rented a room to occupy until the next evening. Wesley had made the trip without losing too much of his strength. Since the gash on his side still hadn't closed, he needed to keep it constantly bandaged and he needed more blood than he normally would take in.

"We should be home by tomorrow Midnight." Said Faith as she readied for their hunt.

"We need to find out if the witch got to Angelus with that other piece." Wesley put his jacket on and came up behind Faith. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her to him. He inhaled deeply and knew she was aroused. He kissed her neck and began to pull her blouse out of her pants. He ran his hands up her stomach and cupped her breasts.

"Wesley, please." She took hold of his hands and forced him to squeeze her tighter. "I need you, please." He took her hands and placed them against the wall and quickly pulled down her pants. He knelt behind her and ran his hands up her leg. He kissed the small of her back and nipped at her bare bottom. "Uh," Faith moaned and threw her head back. She had wanted him so desperately these last few days. Wesley rose and pulled down his pants and took out his cock and entered her fiercely. Up to now he hadn't the strength, but was finally now beginning to recover some of it. He slammed into her and she pushed herself hard against him.

"You're mine Faith, uh .. all of you.. every drop of you is mine.." He growled into her neck and bit into her as they both came. They fell to the floor on their knees and rocked into each other. He receded his fangs and licked her wound. She turned her head and kissed him, tasting her own blood in his mouth.

"Yes my love. I am yours, every drop." The kissed each other softly for a few moments.

"Come, let's go and get something to eat. I need strength for when we return." He stood up and lifted her to her to her feet smiling.

"What happens when we return?" she asked

"I take my time."

Giles' home 3:30 am

Elizabeth came in quietly. She immediately went to the bathroom and washed the blood from her body. She had been particularly sloppy tonight. All she thought of was what would Spikes reaction be to what Giles was going to tell him. She had feared the worst, that Spike would leave. She put on her nightdress and opened the door to her bedroom. There were several bathrooms on the second floor, one of which was in-between her bedroom and Faith and Wesley's.

Earlier in the night Spike had waited long enough to make sure everyone had been asleep and snuck into her room. He fell asleep knowing that she would wake him upon her return. When Elizabeth entered the room she immediately felt him. There it was, the unmistakable scent of Spike.

McKenna Manor - 3:35 am

Angelus was outside. He looked up at the sky, thinking on Amy's last words. He needed to get the other half of that spear. Ethan and his men had been missing since Monday night and no one had seen them in the village. The guards had told him they never came by the chapel. Yet unbeknownst to him the guards had not told him of the rock through the window of the chapel as well as one of them being knocked out cold. They knew better than to say anything to him about that.

He walked inside and called to Jonathan. As always the young man came quickly.

"Have you found anything in her books?"

"They all refer to it in its whole state. I doubt the fragment would be of any use." Said Jonathan nervously. Angelus walked toward the large fireplace in the great room and stared into the flames.

"I need to find out where the other piece is, and I need to know this yesterday." He said through gritted teeth. Jonathan felt his body begin to shake. He knew that tone. Angelus turned and walked towards Jonathan. He put his hand on the boy's cheek and leaned in close to his face.

"Be a good boy and find it for me." He thumb caressed the cheek for a moment as he smiled. Jonathan closed his eyes for a moment and swallowed hard.

"H.how? A.Amy was not a very good te.teacher sir." He was shaking, with fear.

"I have faith in you. I know you will not disappoint me." He lightly slapped Jonathan's face and walked up the stairs. Jonathan walked back to the library and began to look through Amy's journals. There had to be a way to find the location of the fragment. He needed to find it he could not risk Angelus being annoyed with him.

Giles' home - Elizabeth's room - 3:40 am

She had been watching him sleep for several minutes. She pulled the curtains and walked around to the empty side of the bed. Taking in his scent made her dizzy with passion and she felt the wetness between her legs grow. She lay down next to him and lightly ran her fingers through his hair trying to imagine the little boy with short spiky hair. Laughing softly she had decided to make the suggestion that he cut it. It was hard to see his eyes sometimes with the hair falling in front of it, and she couldn't see the wonderfully sculpted cheekbones that made her quiver. She felt him stir and turn into her.

"Mmm, there you are. Did my kitten get her fill?" He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips. He loved that she always smelled so feminine. She smelled like nature to him, it comforted him.

"Yes, but she wants something else now." She wrapped her arms around him and lightly scratched his back. This made him tingle and she felt his erection against her thigh. "I didn't know if you would be here when I came back."

"Can't leave you pet, I can't ever leave you." He tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear, "I'm sorry about your parents, about everything." She draped her leg over his hip.

"It has been hard. I didn't know how I would get through all of this, but I have Giles and Willow and Xander. Faith and Wesley will be here this evening and now I have you and Andrew." She leaned in closer to him. "Especially you."

"So this Wesley, he's your sire then. What exactly does that mean?" He asked cautiously, not knowing what the answer would be. Giles had told him that there was always a strong bond and connection between a sire and his fledgling, yet he seemed squeamish and would not give him further details. Elizabeth sensed him tense up immediately.

"I belong to him."

"Oh."

"But its not like that with him." She ran her hand up his arm. "He and Faith are mated, and they are faithful to each other."

"Mated? You mean like married?" he slipped his leg in-between hers and felt the soft wet folds that called out to him now. He felt her purr and she let out a small moan.

"Y.. yes, ohh, Spike. .you're so warm." She said as she licked his neck like a cat lapping milk from a bowl. "I need to feel you against me." He rolled himself on top of her and without pause thrust himself deep into her.

"Do you feel me know? Feel me warming you?" He kissed her hard, "Where's my kitten?" he looked at her and smiled and licked her lips. She loved the way he called out to her demon. He could be as aggressive and rough as he wanted with the demon, yet with her he was gentle and always tender. It was the way he had accepted that part of her that made her feel so special, and loved. He wanted all of her.

"Yes.. oh yes.. don't stop.. oh Spike unh.. I.. please.I think I'll die if you stop." Having both realized the absurd statement she had just made; they both looked at each other and began to laugh.
