Written for: The Open On Sunday LJ Community--go to , find the word of the day for your birthday, and work it in somehow. I found five words, and worked in three of them--"redoubt" (a stronghold); "malodorous" (having a bad odor); and "yen" (a strong desire or inclination).
Notes(s): Riley's POV, before and during the events of "Into the Woods."
I'll never scale the redoubt of Buffy's heart. I'm solid, comfortable. She likes me, but love? No. Spike is right; she needs some monster in her man. And I'm too tame.

So I flirt with it. Going to that malodorous vampire bordello, letting the girls bite me just enough to get dizzy. After a time, it's become something I need, not just something I want. Some night, I might let one bite my neck. Why not? Buffy did.
And maybe, just maybe, if I let it go too far once...she might see just what a monster I can be.
