"You're a watcher, watch me," the vampire answered defiantly.
"It's daytime."
"Your point?" Spike inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"The sun burns vampires," came the sweating watcher's reply.
"Minor setback."
Giles struggled to get free and caused his dark blue short sleeved shirt to raise up, exposing his abs.
"Been working out?" Spike asked in a taunting manner, eyeing the watcher's stomach that was beaded with sweat.
Spike smiled and responded by putting even more pressure on him. This clearly was not a good
thing for Giles. As it were, he had a growing erection, and it was almost to the point of
pain. He didn't know why, but he half wanted the smirking vampire to take him. But what
would Buffy think? Spike shifted around, his hips slightly grinding against the watcher.
Giles's blood was boiling, and it all seemed to be going to one place. He no longer cared
what he thought only what he felt. But Giles knew Spike was just messing with his mind.
Refusing to let the vampire know his attraction, Giles did one of the most stupid things in
his life.
"I'll let you roam around the house as you please if you agree to not run away,"
The pale vampire thought about it for a second.
"What's the catch?" Spike asked, his lips almost touching the watcher's.
"No catch," Giles managed to breathe out.
Spike reluantly rolled off him, and the watcher immediately ran off. He had never seen Giles that fast in his whole death.
"Where are you going?" Spike yelled after him.
"To get the keys, Spike."
Giles went into the extremely tidy bathroom, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water on his face. He grabbed a small, light blue towel and wiped off his face.
"What were you thinking?" the watcher asked his reflection. "Thank god he didn't realize the keys were in my pocket," Giles said to himself examining his dark blue jeans that were wet with more than sweat.
He quickly removed them and fumbled through the dirty clothes looking for a pair that wasn't too dirty and that would match his shirt. The watcher found a pair of black slacks and slipped them on.
"So what are we doing?" Spike asked cheerfully.
Giles shot him a dirty look...or was it a sexyful look. Spike couldn't tell. He had never seen Giles try to seduce anyone so he could hardly tell what it would look like.
"I'm going to watch a movie," Giles stated, holding the case in his hand.
"Really?" Spike said, pretending to be interested, "What movie?"
"The Scarlet Letter. I'm a big fan of the book, and my friend, the one you interrupted me from this afternoon, recommended it to me."
The vampire gave him a bewildered look and raised an eyebrow. "A bloke?"
"Yes," Giles replied not knowing why it mattered whether it was a man or woman.
"Odd sort of a flick for a bloke to suggest unless he was hitting on you."
"Spike, are you high! How is that even remotely a come-on? I could see if it was Maurice or Priest."
"No, that would be too obvious. The Scarlet Letter is about forbidden love. Are you interested?" Spike asked with a hint of jealousy.
"No. Absolutely not," Giles replied quickly.
"Then don't worry about it."
An awkward silence filled the room. Giles and Spike exchanged looks.
"Let's just watch it, shall we," Spike declared, motioning toward the living room.
"Lord, this is boring," the vampire stated.
Giles looked over at Spike sitting on the other side of the couch.
"I'm not forcing you to watch. You could go into another room. Why are you still watching it?"
"Gary Oldman," Spike said, his eyes on the screen.
"I wasn't aware you were an Oldman fan," the watcher answered, picking up his cup of tea from the cherry wood coffee table.
"I'm not. He's a very attractive man."
Giles nearly spit out his tea.
"Correct if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that you're straight."
"You don't have to be gay to see that he's yummy."
"That is possibly the most appalling thing you could have said," Giles said, not believing his ears.
"I'd rape him."
"I stand corrected."
"I'd rape you," he said looking seductively at Giles.
Before Spike could react, the watcher had grabbed a stake, held his arms back, and had a stake on over Spike's heart.
