Chapter 4

"It was my fault...I told them to wait outside. It's my fault...I should've protected them. All that fighting crime and bounty shit did nothing for me. The only people who really ever cared about me were gone, every last one of them. I was at a bridge one night, above a highway, I was going to when Jet found me," She laughed, "It was damn luck above everything else."

Spike wrapped his arms around Faye, in the process falling into the bed like he was lying down beside her. He buried his forehead against her shoulder and arc of her neck, "Don't ever try doing that again." Faye was silent, wishing she could stop crying or say something to Spike. His body was warm against her cold and almost dead body. He took in a breath of her hair, smelling like leftover shower, blood, medicines, and a faint scent of Sakura flowers.

"Do you know what brought me back?" There was silence as Faye moved slightly under her sheets. He smirked lightly and took in another sniff of her intoxicating scent, "...You brought me back."

"I brought you back, keh, nice try Spike," Faye whispered quietly, closing her eyes as she felt the ripping pain in her heart return.

Spike squeezed her gently, "But you did; you're living a second life and started out completely alone, almost everyone you met betrayed you, and you keep on living. I can't get over just one horrible thing in my past, but you can keep moving on. I realized, I needed you, you're my reminder."

Faye bit her lip and tried not to cry, "I know who sent the men who were trying to kidnap me."

Spike forgot all about the magical moment they were sharing and his eyes widened, "What? You know? Tell me who the damn bastard is and I'll sock it to him."

"I can't, I won't tell you Spike," She declared nervously, wishing he'd get off her bed so she could hide in it.

Spike sat up and stared at her, "Why the hell not?"

Faye turned over and looked at him, a smirk on her face, "Because, I haven't gotten to go after a bounty in a long time," she winked, "I can't let you have all the fun now can I? Now, are you going to take me home or am I going to have to run away from this place on my own?"

Spike found a grin on his face and scooped her up gently, Faye completely flustered and surprised. He leaned down so his lips met near her ear, "Looks like I'm your knight in shining armor," he chuckled softly in her ear and walked her out to his ship. The ride was a little uncomfortable for the two of them, Faye from her injury, and Spike because there was no extra seat so Faye had to sit on his lap.

He carried her back into the space ship to see Jet and Edward waiting for them by the door.

"FAYE FAYE!" Ed bounced around trying to hug her but Spike kept her above Ed's reach for her own good. "Faye faye, are you going to be okay?"

Faye titled her head to the left and gave her a thumbs up, "Yeah I'm fine, but I could get used to this Princess treatment."

Edward laughed and zoomed back off towards the main lounge where Spike deposited Faye on the couch and sat down beside her. Jet sat across from them, his lips resting against his two hands that were laced together and he sighed, "Faye, I know we get into trouble all the time, but someone purposely came out after you. I think you should stay here for a few weeks to recover, and it also lets us keep an eye on you."

Faye shook her head, "No way, there's no way I can stand this place for a couple of weeks. Besides, I have work, if you hadn't noticed I'm the only one who brings in cash so we can eat. I only have an extra thousand woo-longs, its not going to get us anywhere."

"Well its not that easy being a stripper with bandages all over you," Jet shot back, "Your health is more important than money," Jet always taking the more fatherly route when it came to things.

Faye stood up and waved her finger, "I can make the look work, nothing but bandages looks sexy," she laughed and limped back to her room biting on her lip as she disappeared. I can't let the guys know that it's Lin who's after me. I've got to get rid of this guy on my own or Lin will send goons after them. Faye winced when she got to her door and held her side, already feeling warm blood leak from her wound. "Damn..." She pushed open the electronic button to her room and limped in, closing the door behind her. She stripped herself of her two day old clothes, showered, and walked back to her room in a towel. Once again inside her room she threw on new bandages, blue thong, and blue bra. After that she simply jumped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling, the summer's so hot in this place without an air conditioner. "God damn, I need more money or I'm going to roast this summer."

A few hours later Spike knocked on Faye's door with his foot while holding a tray of food with his two hands. "Faye, open up!" he hollered, but no one answered, "Don't go yelling now," He opened the door with his hand, "You could at least answer!" Spike was silenced when he found Faye asleep on her bed. Spike had always thought of her as beautiful, but the sun setting through her semi closed blinds made her skin glow and look all the more beautiful. He could already feel the pressure start to build up below.

Spike knew he should just leave the food and make a quiet exit, but his feet were not cooperating. He left the food on her dresser and turned, staring at her still. He felt sweat start to build on the back of his neck, he pulling at his tie and loosening it. He threw off his usual blue trench jacket onto the floor and he sat down on the edge of her bed and sighed. His body was growling hungrily, and he slapped his head to his forehead and sighed, "Damn it Faye..."

Faye had woken up the minute she had heard Spike knocking, but she didn't really want to open the door. She'd hoped he would come in, and to her delight he did. She could hear him stiff, and hear his breath run short when he saw her. Her face turned as she lay on her back, her body curled up slightly to show off innocence, a light smirk on her face. She decided it would be fun to tease him, a soft "Spike..." escaped her lips.

Spike lifted his head when he heard Faye call his name, her voice so soft it made him all the more aroused. It was becoming unbearable, her scent everywhere in the room and the air felt heavy with his growing lust. He turned and his hand crept up and touched her cheek, "Faye...wake up..."

Faye's opened at his command and she rubbed her eye, pretending to be sleepy, "Spike? What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, trying to sound sleepily. Oh she knew how to play these parts, it was all working smoothly. His hand found a home on her shoulder so he loomed over her, she could see the want in his eyes. She tried not to laugh, "Like what you see?" She asked seductively. Faye found his lips were already up against hers, he tried to hover over her and not put weight on her injury. Instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck and she felt his hands work their way through her unruly purple hair.

He wanted her, he needed her bad. His hands wove through her hair straddling her hips with his legs, his member rubbing against her inner thighs. She moaned into his lips, the parting of her lips used as his entrance, his tongue battling with hers for dominance as everything became way more passionate. He could feel her fingers plucking at the bottons to his shirt and once it was removed she slid her hands up against his chest. Her slightest touches sent chills up his spine. His hands left her hair his fingers sliding down her bra straps. She smiled and pulled away from him, "I didn't know you wanted me so bad," She whispered in his ear before nibbling on it.

"I wanted you that night, I want you now," He moaned to her. He began to kiss the arch of her neck, looking for the soft point that made her moan. It took a few kisses and nibbles before he found the spot and she practically melted into the bed, "There we are..." he purred.

Faye moaned lightly and rubbed his groin with her knee. Spike growled and crushed her lips into his again, his fingers undoing the clip to her bra and discarding it onto the floor. His lips trailed kisses down her chin, neck, and chest until they found her left nipple and he began to suck on the teat erotically.

With Faye's mouth free she let out a moan, "Spike..." she rubbed his groin harder and he bit on her breast lightly, letting her know he was enjoying himself. She started to fiddle with his belt buckle and soon to the belt was keeping company with his shirt and her bra on the floor. The forbidden clothes were beginning to pile up, soon his tie joined the mess. A few minutes later the two were completely naked.

Faye wiggled down in the bed until her face met with his throbbing manhood. "Faye..." he called in a warning tone, but Faye ignored it as she allowed her tongue to touch the tip of his manhood. Shivers rippled through him again and he tried to remain calm as he loomed above her, sweat staring to build up everywhere. He moaned gently and Faye took that as her permission to continue. She wrapped her lips around his manhood and ran her teeth up and down against it, Spike nearly collapsing on her with pleasure waves. Her tongue twisted and constricted as she used her hands to keep him up. Spike moaned loudly, feeling like a release was coming, "Faye!"

He felt himself release and a warm feeling sweep through him. Faye set him free and he rolled over so he could lay down on the bed. Faye let her tongue run against his body until she was back up at his chin, grinning, "You're very delicious Spike Spiegel," she purred for him and nibbled at his chin before taking his lips again. She could still feel his throbbing manhood between her legs. She pulled her lips away from him, he was dazed she could see it in his one good eye. She lifted herself over him and brought herself down just so the tip of his manhood could touch her womanly entrance.

"Faye..." he gasped again. Now he was feeling his passionate instincts, he needed to be inside of her, now. But Faye refused him, lifting herself back up and continued her taunts. His hands gripped her bed sheets, "Fuck Faye stop..." he growled, ardent and ready to burst again.

"Stop?" She pouted seductively, "Do you want to leave now Spike?" She asked cooly before kissing him. Faye nuzzled her face against his and she felt a low roar grumble in this throat. Faye rolled over and laid down next to him, "Now that we've stopped," She stared at the ceiling knowing it was a complete lie, "What should we do?"

She didn't get a verbal answer, but instead Spike rolled over so he was on top of her. Now it was his turn, he didn't even have to speak with her, his lips finding her breast again as he stuck a finger into her. Faye's immediate reaction was a buck, trying to get him out on instinct but it simply drove him to push deeper into her. "Oh Spike..." she moaned loudly, feeling her lower body start to burn as he pushed another finger in. On his third finger she felt her muscles contract around his fingers and he growled and kissed her lips. She was going to climax soon, he could feel it as he started to pump his fingers in and out of her. "Spike!" she called, arching so her hips clicked with his chest.

He felt her warm juices slide over his hands and he pulled his fingers out and licked them, "Who's more delicious now?" He asked her lightly, bringing his head down to her entrance and blew warm air on her. He listened to her moan again, he was so horny now he couldn't even being to think of anything else. He licked at her entrance and she moaned louder.

"Spike, just get the fuck in me," she screamed passionately. She didn't have to tell him twice, she wasn't a virgin, and it didn't hurt nearly as much when he allowed himself to thrust into her. Her wound probably hurt the most, but they two were too wrapped up in their sexual passion to care.

He pushed himself in and out, both of them matching each other perfectly, the bed shaking, loud moans, a sweet bliss. He went as deep as he could, waiting to hear her scream his name. Again and again he continued his ministrations until he finally heard her scream his name, "SPIKE!"

He wanted them to hit their orgasms at the same time, and just to his wishes he felt his coming. They climaxed together once, then twice, then so many that they lost count. Finally exhausted, Spike laid down on top of her, their bodies sticking together from the clamminess of their skin, Spike was too exhausted to even pull out of her. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips, this time so gentle and sweet the passion in his caution. Faye ran his hand through his shaggy green hair and smiled, "Well that was a great get well gift."

Spike buried his head in her neck, still kissing her arch from time to time, "I was afraid yesterday. I was afraid you were going to disappear forever."

"I'm not going anywhere stupid, someone has to put money and food on this table," she whispered lightly as she closed her eyes, "I remember telling myself that I was too stubborn to die, and that my friends would kill me for dying before I got something out of you," she laughed lightly.

Spike kissed her lips again and rested his head up against hers so their nose touched, "I'm not going to let anything happen to you ever again. I'm going to kill that bastard."

"Well isn't that a romantic notion," Faye sighed sarcastically, "Just stay here with me tonight, we can deal with that tomorrow," she begged him sleepily.

"I couldn't think of anything better," he mumbled before he closed his eyes and was asleep.

Faye stared at the ceiling for a little while, thinking of the events that had just occurred in the past week. I go from being mad at him, to making him mad, to getting hurt, to sleeping with him. What a strange fucking week. With that last thought she too fell asleep, comforted by the feeling of his arms wrapped around her.

They woke up the following morning and the first thing Faye could think was how bad the room smelled. She nudged Spike until he reluctantly let go and she slipped out of bed. She wrapped a small towel around her and she could feel him staring at her from bed. "Damn you're sexy," he told her, sitting up in her bed, half covered by her comforter.

"I'm sexy but I smell like shit," She told him laughing, "I'm off to take a shower," she gathered up some new clothes from her dresser and left the room. She had just turned slipped into their glass shower when someone slid open one of the doors and hopped in behind her. She turned around when Spike wrapped his arms around her, "What the hell are you doing here, don't you think Jet will be suspicious?"

"I found your key on the floor, so I locked your door. That means, he thinks its only me in here," Spike explained before biting her neck. Spike laved his hands up with soap and took great pleasure in running his hands up and down her curves, touching ever sacred spot he had been privileged to be in last night.

Faye turned around and did the same to him, rubbing her hands against his hard and muscular chest when she felt something rub up against her thigh, "Someone's still hot from last night," she teased before kissing him. Spike pushed her up against the tiled wall, the water from the shower head raining down on her hair as he raised her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist so he could suckle her breast. Faye moaned and Spike grunted, the water trickling down her skin and the steam in the bathroom made her all the more appealing. He lowered her down so his member rubbed against her entrance when she heard him whimper, "Don't..."

He looked up at her, "Why the hell not?" He asked kinder than those words would seem. Faye grabbed her side and Spike saw she was bleeding again, "I'm supposed to be taking it easy, sex wasn't one of the things listed."

That made Spike laugh, laughing so hard it made his whole body ache. It was the first time he wasn't drunk and was laughing that hard. He kept her pressed against the wall, her feet now back on the floor, and ran his shampooed hands through his hair as he kissed her lips again. Faye mimicked him, trying very hard to ignore the pain she was feeling. She needed to take her medication after this or she'd never be able to fool around with Spike again. After they finished erm, showering, Faye wandered back to her room, swinging her hips for Spike until he disappeared into his room. Once back inside her room she swallowed three pills and slipped on a outfit different from her normal yellow one. She decided to keep herself concealed, knowing it would just make Spike want her more. She found a blue turtleneck that ended at her belly button and some cut off jean shorts that met halfway between her knee and hips. Her bandages only peaked out a little by her naval, but that was something she'd have to deal with.

Faye found Spike in his rightful thrown on his yellow couch and she strolled up behind her and covered his eyes with her hands, "Hey there cowboy, what're you watching."

"I was watching some crap, but I couldn't think of anything but you," he told her lightly, his usual deep attractive voice.

Faye slid down the couch and Spike pulled her into his lap and kissed her gently. "Faye...I think I love you Faye," he told her quietly, stroking the side of her face.

Faye felt her lips tremble and her eyes dampen, she had waited to hear those words for a very long time. She kissed him gently and wrapped her arms around his neck, "You stupid lunk, I've always loved you."

Later That Night...

Faye came into the den with a plate of food for Spike and another one for herself. She sat down next to him and watched him eat her food like a human vacuum while she munched on hers slowly. She watched him finish, and just like that he was out. She laid him out on the couch, so Jet wouldn't be suspicious, and took the key to the Swordfish and his gun. Faye ran back to her room, grabbed her two guns and the keys to her ship (That I still don't know the name to, does anyone know it?) And jumped into her ship. She took one last look at Bebop and frowned, "Sorry Spike."

Faye waltzed into the strip joint with a grin on her face. The Two Rubies ran up to her and smiled, "Faye! We were wondering what happened to you last night! Are you alright?"

Faye laughed, "I was just a little too drunk to be any entertainment, Jet was supposed to call in for me. That stupid bastard," she waved her hand and laughed again, "Nice to see you two so cheerful."

"If it isn't my lovely Fox," Faye felt her blood run cold as Lin appeared next to them. "How are you feeling Faye?"

"I'm sorry for not calling, Jet was supposed to, I got wasted and I wouldn't have brought in any money. When I'm drunk I act like a freaking nun, you wouldn't get aroused, its not like I'm playing hard to get, I'll preach from the bible."

Lin laughed lightly, "Well I'm glad you have your usual fire back," he turned, "We start in twenty minutes," he waved before walking off, "Later."

Faye and the Rubies undressed in the back, Faye already in her newest outfit made entirely of bandages that covered her in the right spots but thinly enough to turn any man on. When she ripped off her turtleneck the two Rubies noticed her guns sticking out of her shirt, "What are those for Faye?" They asked worriedly.

Faye looked around for anyone else, in all the secret hiding spots too, she being used to snooping around. There weren't any security cameras either, she had brought Ed's electronic scanner to check. She pulled the two girls into a corner and handed each of them a gun, "Listen to me because I'm only going to say this once, Lin is out to either kidnap me or kill me. His goons attacked me two nights ago, Sunday when this place isn't open, and I was in the hospital. They shot me, something's up. I'm going to attack tonight, I need you two to back me up."

"But...but we've never shot pistols before," They both quivered in unison.

Faye rolled her eyes, "Look," She pointed the gun up, security on, "You just pull down on the security, aim, and fire. I don't care where you hit them, just hit them. I can handle the rest."

"When are you going to attack?" They quivered and asked quietly.

"I always go into the "Manager's Room" after each performance. But tonight, I'll make him come out and greet me. You two hide behind the curtain and watch from there, when you see me walk towards him you'll see me pull out my gun, that's when you guys get ready. I'm counting on you two," she told them sternly.

The two Rubies nodded, "We won't let you down Faye, we promise on Joshua." Faye figured Joshua was their brother who was in jail.

On the Bebop

Spike rolled over on the couch and fell off and landed on his face. "DAMN!" he sat up and grabbed his nose in pain, "What the hell? I remember eating dinner with Faye then..." He looked around, "Where is that wench. FAYE? FAYE?" He screamed, still rather ticked off as he stood up.

"She's at work stupid," Jet explained as he came walking in, "You've been out for the past three hours, what the hell were you all night or something at the hospital?" Jet asked as he held onto a bottle of beer, noticing Spike's face turn pale, "What's wrong?"

Spike found Faye's bouquet of flowers from Lin on the table next to her bloody bandages. Spike put the clues together almost instantly, her killer was Lin. Then something caught his eye, mixed within the dirty bandages was the business card he had seen that night he was drunk. He picked up the card and heard Jet scream his name again.

Spike turned around, "Faye's in trouble, that bastard of a boss is going to kill her!" He reached for his pockets and found both his key and gun gone, "Damn it, that bitch took my gun and keys!" He looked to Jet, "Give me your gun, and the Hammerhead."

"What do you plan on doing?" He asked as Jet threw his favorite and most trusty gun to Spike who caught it in the air and then the keys. Spike ran towards the launch pad and Jet followed, "Hey idiot, I asked you what you're going to plan on doing?"

"I'm going to kill that fucking bastard Lin," Spike shouted as he jumped into the Hammerhead, taking one quick look back at Jet, "Then I'm going to go get the gal I love back."

Jet backed away as Spike launched and disappeared into the stars. He rubbed his head and then his chin, "How does he plan on getting Julia back?" He asked dumbly. Jet could be so slow sometimes, a heavy sleeper too, he didn't get to hear the lovely sex noises coming from Faye's room last night.

Back at the Strip Joint

Faye had just finished up another successful night of way too many tips from way too many horny men. Faye dressed herself back into normal clothes and was making her way towards Lin's office, the Rubies waiting guns loaded and ready. She knocked on the door, "Lin, can you come out please, I can't seem to get a certain zipper zipped up," She called out seductively. The doorknob turned, and Faye got ready.

A/N : What do you think of my first ever Lemon for Cowboy Bebop? Be nice but if it really did suck let me know.
