Chapter 14
"Alright, keep your eyes closed." Spike whispered in Buffy's ear, which sent shivers up and down her spine.
"Spike, you have your hand over my eyes anyway." She replied.
"Just go with me here, love." He told her and Buffy smiled.
"Okay, my eyes are still closed." Spike smiled also as he led Buffy over to a special place on the beach, where the moon seemed to shine the most.
"Open your eyes." He whispered as he took his hand away. Buffy looked to see a beautiful picnic set up for them on the beach. She used to love the ocean as a child and it was even more beautiful at night. She turned teary eyes on Spike.
"This is perfect, thank you." Spike nodded as he grabbed her hand and pulled her down on the blanket that he put there. They spent the next hour eating and enjoying each other's company. "I don't think I can eat anything else." Buffy said as she held her stomach. Spike smiled at her.
"Not even for dessert?" Buffy raised her eyebrows.
"What's for dessert?" Spike moved closer to her and planted a kiss on her mouth. She closed her eyes and melted into his kiss. She then grasped the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head, breaking contact to get the shirt off and then kissing him again. When she moved to his pants, Spike pulled away breathing heavily.
"Love, are you sure about this?" Buffy looked into his eyes and nodded.
"I want you, Spike. I want you to make love to me." Spike didn't have to be told twice as he started to kiss her again. He pulled her shirt off and lay her down on the blanket as he removed the rest of her clothes. He then removed his pants and positioned himself on top of her. He looked into her eyes and could see the love she felt for him. He kissed her lips again as he slowly entered her. Buffy couldn't believe how perfect he felt inside her as he started to move. She closed her eyes and squeezed him with all the strength she had. Spike's eyes rolled back and knew he wouldn't last if she kept doing that. Buffy opened her eyes to look up at him after a few seconds. "I love you." She whispered which caused Spike to have a look of awe on his face since that was the first time she said it. He bent down and started to lick and nibble at her neck. Buffy moaned underneath him and he started to speed up his thrusts.
"God, Buffy." He moaned in her neck and she was about to let out a scream, when he kissed her again and slipped his tongue into her mouth. They were both soon brought to release as they cried out in pleasure, hoping that no one was around to witness their lovemaking. Spike was breathing hard as he pulled out of her and moved to her side. She rested her head on his chest and listened to his fast heartbeat. He looked at her to see the satisfied look on her face. "You're amazing." He whispered to her and she gave him a smile.
"You're pretty amazing yourself." Spike kissed her forehead and lay back down, when a thought occurred to him.
"Bloody hell, we forgot about protection. I actually wasn't expecting this to happen tonight." He stated and Buffy ran her fingers over his chest.
"It's okay, I'm on the pill." Spike sighed in relief and held her closer as they both looked up at the stars. "It's so beautiful here." She whispered as she continued to look up at the sky. "You don't see them like this in LA." Spike agreed.
"No, I don't suppose you would." He told her and Buffy took a deep breath.
"My grandfather lives on a farm in Georgia. I remember always going there when I was little. I used to love it. I would spend forever just riding the horses. That's the only time I ever felt free. I would spend hours at night looking up at the stars. They were so beautiful. I saw a shooting star once. I figured there was no point in making a wish. I didn't think it would ever come true." Buffy was saying, when she looked at Spike with a serious expression on her face. "For the first time, I'm actually glad I moved here." Spike smiled and placed another kiss on her lips.
"So am I, pet. I was lost before you came into my life. As corny as that sounds." He replied and Buffy gave him a smile.
"I know the feeling." She rested her head back on his chest and held him tighter.
They walked into the house later that night and were greeted by Giles, who was still awake. "How was your evening?" He asked and Buffy and Spike looked at each other before looking back at Giles.
"It was good." She said and Spike agreed.
"Yeah, we'll just be heading up to bed now. Getting a bit knackered." Spike said as he faked a yawn and Buffy nodded. They didn't wait for Giles to say anything else as they both went upstairs and into Spike's room. He closed the door once they were inside and grabbed her as he attacked her lips. They kissed with all the passion they had for each other and pulled away when they both needed to breathe. "Stay with me tonight." Spike said to her.
"What about Giles?" She asked and Spike moved to her ear.
"We can be very quiet." He whispered which caused Buffy to smile.
"Maybe you can, but I can't make any promises." Spike smiled also as he led her to his bed. They both undressed and lay under the covers. Spike pulled Buffy closer to him and kissed her forehead.
"I love you." He whispered to her and she looked into his eyes.
"I love you, too." Spike smiled and gave her another kiss on the lips. They both suddenly realized how tired they were. Buffy rested her head on Spike's chest and he had his arms around her as they both soon drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
