Genre: Romance/Horror

Summary: What if Spike intercepted Tara, instead of the Initiative intercepting him?

"You want her too." Her voice purrs seductively into his ear. Body pressed tight against his side, her fingers gliding her his abdomen lightly.

"I don't know, pet." Spike replied skeptically, unsure of his princess desire.

Tara smiled into her sire's neck and vamped out. She grazed his cheek with her elongated tooth, licking the blood trail that followed.

"Please, baby? For me." She asked still in gameface, pouting.

Spike rolled his eyes a wicked and playful smile on his face. "Oh all right. Have your fun."

Tara's smile blossomed. "Our fun." She promised.

Spike looks proudly at his vicious childe as she walked towards the girl on the floor, a calm elegance in her step, slightly shadowed by self-conscious shyness she still remained from her human life. She lifted the redhead by the hair; her smokey and piercing blue eyes stare deep into scared emerald ones.

Tara leaned back into Spike, his arms encircling her as she brought the young woman close to them.

"Willow's such a silly name." Tara said. "Let's call her Puppy."
