I'll be going away this weekend and probably won't be able to update until Monday or Tuesday. Hope you guys like this chapter until then!

Chapter 7

They walked into the Bronze and Buffy pulled Spike over to a table, where she saw her friends. She gave them all a smile. "Hey, guys. I would like you all to meet, Spike." They nodded and Buffy then introduced them. "These are my friends, Willow, Xander, Anya, and Tara." She said as she pointed to each of them.

"It's nice to meet all of you." Spike told them as he sat down along with Buffy. They then spent the time asking Spike questions and getting to know him better.

"How cool is it being a cop? Do you get to have a gun and everything?" Xander asked him.

"Yes, but I'm not really a fan of guns. I would only use it if I really had to. I love my job, but it can be pretty dangerous." Spike replied.

"Danger's my middle name." Xander stated as he looked at the bemused expressions around him. "Okay, maybe not." He mumbled and Willow rolled her eyes.

"Your middle name is Lavelle." She said and Xander glared at her. He hated for people to know that. He just took a sip of his root beer and didn't say anything else about it. Spike smiled at Buffy's friends. They were an interesting group. Buffy then smiled when a slow song came on. She stood up and looked at Spike.

"Come on, we have to dance." Spike had a look of fear on his face now.

"I don't dance." Buffy rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand.

"You do now. I promised you fun and I never break my promises." She stated as she pulled him out of his chair and on the dance floor. Spike didn't know what to do when they got out there. He was looking around at the other dancing couples. Buffy then wrapped her arms around his neck and he didn't know what else to do, so he wrapped his arms around her waist. "You just let the music flow through you. It's not that hard." She explained as she started to move to the music. Spike closed his eyes and followed her lead. Buffy smiled as she rested her head on his chest. Spike opened his eyes at that moment. He looked down at her and kissed the top of her head. He loved having her in his arms. It was like she was meant to be there. Spike wrapped her tighter in his embrace as they continued their dance.

He watched from a distance as she danced with that bleached freak and he grew angry. She was his and only his. He first wanted revenge on Summers for putting his brother away, but now it was more than that. She was a very beautiful girl. He could imagine all the things he would do to her. He was damned if he was going to let that freak have her. She would be his; it was only a matter of time.

Buffy sat back at the table with her friends after Spike went to the bathroom. Xander was getting more drinks and the girls were staring at her. She caught the looks and wondered what they were about. "What?" She asked them and Willow was the one that spoke up first.

"What's the deal with you two? You seemed pretty close when you were dancing." Buffy shrugged and blushed a little when she thought about how great it felt to be in his arms.

"We're just really good friends." She explained and Anya wasn't convinced.

"You had sex with him, didn't you?" Buffy's eyes grew big at that.

"How do you do that?" Anya waved her hand in the air.

"Please, it's a gift. You also look like someone who has been given many good orgasms." Buffy blushed bright red this time as she looked down.

"Buffy, you really slept with him?" Willow asked and Buffy nodded as she looked at her friend.

"I know what you guys are gonna say. That I shouldn't get involved with him because he works with my dad and we're moving too fast, but I really like being with him. We need each other right now." Willow nodded in understanding.

"We get it, Buffy. He seems to really make you happy." She told her and Buffy smiled.

"Yeah, he really does." She replied just as Spike walked back over to them. He gave Buffy a kiss on the cheek and sat down next to her.

"So, what were you ladies talking about?" He asked and Buffy shrugged.

"Just girl stuff." She said as she rested her head on his shoulder and he put his arm around her. Willow smiled as she watched the display. Her friend really looked happy and she hoped that everything would work out for them.

Buffy and Spike crashed through his bedroom, with their lips locked in a passionate kiss. He broke away long enough to close the door and then Buffy attacked his lips again. He lifted her up and placed her on his bed as he got on top of her. He trailed kisses down her neck and she grabbed the bottom of his shirt. He helped her get it off of him and then helped her with her clothes. They threw their clothes on the floor and got back to the kissing. Spike then slid into her slowly and she closed her eyes at the feelings he was stirring in her. He kissed both of her eyelids and she then opened her eyes to look at him. He buried his head in her neck and started to move slowly inside of her. Buffy wrapped her arms around him and ran her fingers down his back. She let out a moan and whispered in his ear. "Harder, Spike. You don't have to be gentle with me." Spike pulled away to look at her.

"I like being gentle." He replied and Buffy caressed his cheek.

"There's plenty of time for that later." She said and Spike nodded as he did what she asked. He closed his eyes and started to thrust harder into her. They were both breathing heavily as they were soon brought to release. Spike moved off of Buffy and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed the top of her head and noticed that she was starting to doze off. He smiled and soon joined her in a peaceful slumber.
