Chapter 8
Buffy and Spike walked into one of the rooms at Wolfram and Hart. Her jaw dropped when she saw the room. She looked around. "You like it?" Spike asked her and she looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Like it? This room is bigger than my entire apartment. I could totally move in here." She said as she jumped on the bed and lay down and Spike smiled at how young she seemed. "Yeah, I could definitely get used to this." She stated and Spike sat on the bed next to her. She sat up to look at him with a serious expression on her face. "How have things been here? I mean with Angel and all. You two aren't always trying to kill each other, are you? Things would probably be better if you guys could start working together. It might make things easier." She told him.
"We have good and bad days, but it's nothing for you to worry about. You just rest." He said as he gently pushed her down on the bed. She then grabbed his arm and pulled him with her. He fell on top of her and both were afraid to move. Spike just stared at her and without thinking about it he bent down and captured her lips with his in a sweet kiss. She kissed him back. He pulled away after a bit to let her breathe and just stared into her eyes. She smiled at him.
"You know, that won't make me choose you." Spike smiled and brushed some hair off of her face.
"I'll just have to try and convince you more then." He said as he kissed her again and moved his lips to her neck. He sucked and licked at her flesh and she let out a moan.
"Nope, it's not working." She said even though she was finding it hard to think at the moment. Spike stopped and looked at her.
"I'm not done convincing you." He whispered as he moved down her body and her eyes closed as she let out another moan in pleasure. Buffy and Spike came downstairs a little while later and Buffy saw that Dawn was there and talking to Connor. She smiled as she went over to her.
"Dawn!" Buffy exclaimed and Dawn looked up and noticed her sister. She smiled and gave her a hug.
"Hey, Buffy. I got here as soon as I could. How are things going?" She asked as she pulled out of the hug.
"Things are pretty good so far. I'm glad you're here." Dawn nodded and then looked behind Buffy to see Spike. Her eyes started to tear up at the sight of him.
"Spike," she whispered as she went over to him.
"Hey, nibblet. How've you been?" Dawn smiled and enveloped Spike in a big hug.
"You're really here. I almost didn't believe it when Buffy told me you were back." Spike let go and looked at her.
"Yeah, it's good seeing you again. You have really grown into a beautiful young woman. Not that you weren't one before." Dawn gave him another hug and Buffy noticed how Connor hasn't been able to take his eyes off of her sister. She smiled when she thought about him having a crush on Dawn. She really didn't want him to have a crush on her. Even though she was flattered by it, she knew it would probably complicate things. Buffy slipped away without being noticed and headed to Angel's office.
