God, it's been so long, he thought. The pain kept him from enjoying the warm, thick sweetness. This was a good thing, Spike reminded himself. He loved Buffy and he couldn't let her down. He couldn't screw up now.
Soon he could tell he had to stop. The blood had slowed down. He removed his teeth and wiped the excess off his mouth.
Buffy bandaged Giles' arm up and leaned him up against the counter. Willow examined Spike's chip to see if it had caused any damage or worse, broken. As far as she could tell, the only thing it had caused was a major 'brain-ache' as she put it.
Buffy walked over to her and Spike.
"Will, could you let us have a moment?" she asked politely.
"Sure." Willow responded. She walked over to check on Giles.
"Spike, I'm really proud of you."
"Love makes you do crazy things. That's the one thing I learned from Dru. In all the years I spent with her, that's all she really taught me. You on the other hand..." Spike caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. "You taught me how to love."
