Chapter 2. Spellbound.
Spike pulls away. Buffy pulls him back to her and kisses him on the lips. Spike pulls away again and stares at her for a second, then kisses her back. The two stumble on the boxes and they fall to the ground.
Meanwhile, Angel tries to find Buffy by finding her scent. He then realizes that she wasn't herself like Xander and perhaps might have a totally different scent. She is after all another person.
"We should split up," says Angel. "We can cover more ground."
"Good idea…" says Xander. "What's your name again?"
"Angel."
"Angel, pretty. Okay, I'll take ghost lady and you take cat woman."
"Right." Angel grabs Cordy's hand and they head the opposite direction.
Back at the warehouse, after the two are finished with their little session, they get up and adjust their clothes. Buffy pulls her billowy dress down and Spike zips up his pants. Buffy looks around and Spike pulls her out of the mess they made. He helps her over some boxes and she jumps over them.
"Come on, love," says Spike. "Let's take you home." He takes her hands and leads her out of the warehouse. Spike takes her home and as they get closer to her house; he begins to think about what just happened between them. He helps her up the steps, so that she would not step on her long dress. Buffy opens the door and turns back to him.
"You were so kind to me," says Buffy still with the accent. "I would invite you in, but it is very late." Spike's eyes widen.
"I should get going."
"I would like to see you again."
"Really? I mean…" Buffy smiles and twirls her finger in her hair. Spike steps as close as he can to her. He is at the doorway and Buffy pulls her head out and they kiss once more. This one is soft and sweet. As Spike pulls away, Buffy pulls him back and gets lost in his blue eyes.
"I don't care about what anyone says. I want to be with you." Spike looks at her and touches her face slightly. Buffy closes her eyes and moves her head onto his hand enjoying his touch. She opens her eyes and sees Spike pull away. "I don't know your name."
"It's William." Spike takes her hand and kisses it. Buffy blushes as Spike releases her hand and leaves.
"William." Buffy repeats his name as he walks away and down the sidewalk. He hears his name being called by her and turns around. They somehow communicate with their stares and then Buffy enters her house and closes the door. Spike bows his head and looks up at her window. He waits for her, but nods his head and leaves.
Meanwhile, Giles finally gets the truth out of Ethan and how to reverse the spell. All he has to do is break the bust of the Roman god. Giles kicks Ethan once more and then grabs the bust. He throws it to the ground and it breaks into pieces.
Everyone begins to turn back into themselves. Willow gets put back into her body and disappears from Xander's sight. He shakes his head and goes looking for her. Angel and Cordy see that somehow the spell is broken because the kids are lost and confused.
"We better get the kids back to the school," says Cordy. "They must be freaked." Angel agrees and helps Cordy collect the kids. He is still worried about Buffy, but he hopes that she is safe.
Back at Buffy's, Buffy falls on her bed as she returns back to her normal self. She remembers everything she did and is in shock at her actions. Kissing Spike should be on her never to do list, but it happened. Buffy touches her lips and then she touches her neck.
"He didn't kill me," Buffy says to herself. She gets up from her bed and looks out the window. She doesn't see him, but can sense he is nearby. Buffy quickly takes off her wig and runs downstairs and out the door. "Spike! Spike!"
From about a block away, Spike hears his name being called. He stops and turns around. Spike sees Buffy running after him and calling his name. He doesn't move, though he wishes he had. Buffy jumps on Spike and knocks him onto the floor.
"What the bloody…" Spike could not finish his sentence because Buffy stops him with a kiss. She lets go of his lips and takes deep breaths. "Hello to you, too."
"Why didn't you kill me?" asks Buffy. Spike raises his eyebrow.
"Do you always ask vampires this when they kiss you and treat you nice?"
"I'm serious. Why?"
"Cause, I don't know. Something in my gut told me not to."
"I don't understand. You've killed Slayers before. I was an easy picking tonight and you didn't take advantage of that."
"No, I didn't. There was no fun in it."
"And we…"
"Yep, you remember everything?"
"Uh huh." Buffy nods her head.
"Now that you are you, it's over now. We can get down to business."
"What?"
"First, how about getting off me and second…" Buffy gets off Spike and glares at him.
"I can't believe you just said that. So, you did it for nothing?"
"It was fun, but now we can get back to our work."
"So, that's it. We have sex and kiss with tongue involved and you just let it go. I'm so not taking this."
"Come on, Slayer. We rustled and tumbled like we always do. Just in a different way."
"Well, I'm not doing anything. You just don't do this after all this."
"What, you started to have feelings for me? I'm no Angel. You can take it both ways." Buffy stands still.
"Alright, then go ahead. Bite me." Buffy bends her neck over. "You know you want it."
"I will." His voice peaks up a little.
"Who is stopping you?"
"No one."
"Come on. Isn't it just juicy?" Buffy passes her hands slowly up and down her neck. Spike is mesmerized by it and follows it with his eyes. "Bet you it is."
Spike gulps and walks over to Buffy. He grabs her and turns right in front of her. Buffy doesn't flinch one bit and just stares at him. She looks into his eyes, which are now yellow and sees hesitation in them. Spike lowers his head down to her neck.
(Come on you guys, do you really think I'd let him bite her? Please, you all have little faith in me. Alright, I'll let you get back to the story.)
He has his fangs out ready to taste the sweet and juicy Slayer that he has before him. Buffy closes her eyes and hopes she knows what she is doing, or she'll get a bad hickey from Spike. That would be something Angel would not like at all. She feels his tongue on her skin and then Spike pulls away.
He shakes his head and starts to go back and forth, mumbling to himself something that Buffy could not understand. She lets him be for a moment, then Spike stops and looks at Buffy.
"This is all in my bloody head," says Spike. "I'm supposed to kill you, not love you." Buffy is taken a back at his last words and knew that he would spit them out soon.
"I knew it."
"I can't believe you are not repulsed by this. This could ruin my rep."
"So, your obsession ended up being something more."
"What do you have to say about all this?"
"I had a blast. Didn't know the dead could go so long." Spike gives her a grin. "It was my first time and my first time with a vampire."
"Oh, didn't know. I figured a cutie like you would have had it at least once with a bloke."
"Nope. You're the first. That's why I came looking for you."
"And what do you have to say to me?"
"Can we do it again?" Spike's eyes rise up. Buffy just smiles at him.
"Sure, when and where?"
"My room and how about right now?"
"Sounds good to me." The two head back to Buffy's house. "What about Angel and your friends? What would they think?"
"Tough. I had a rough night. I need some comfort." Buffy invites him in and they enter the house. Buffy changes out of her costume in the bathroom and then joins Spike in her room. He had put his duster on her chair and is lying on the bed.
"I think I've hit bottom." Buffy walks over to him and straddles him.
"Why would you say that?"
"Cause I think I've gone crazier than Dru." Buffy kisses him on the lips and they fall onto the bed.
