Chapter 6
Buffy woke with a smile on her face. She had no idea what time it was, but she ached in all the best places. She stretched across the bed, when she had woken she had been totally aware that she was alone for the first time in, well, a long time. She was aware of an acute sense of loss. She opened her eyes reluctantly and buried her face in the pillow where Spike had been. Immediately his smell made her smile, and she felt gooey. She hugged the pillow closer to her. After a few seconds, she decided to find him. She rummaged around on the floor and found the black t-shirt Spike had been wearing last night. She pulled it on in glee. Of course, it only dropped to just below her butt.
Buffy padded out of the bedroom, listening for any sounds. She glanced at the clock, realising it was mid-afternoon already. Spike wasn't here and she felt a stab of emotion that she identified as loss again. Biting her bottom lip she filled the kettle and switched it on.
She loved her place. She had lived on her own for years and had enjoyed the advantages of solitude, but today, after only one night with Spike, it seemed empty when he wasn't there. Buffy sat at the table with her coffee. She heard the front door open and immediately she jumped to her feet.
She watched him from the kitchen door as he struggled with bags and tried to lock the door at the same time. Buffy smiled as she watched him. He turned and caught her smiling and him.
He raised an eyebrow.
"Don't help me, then." She continued smiling.
"Just like watching you." Spike approached the kitchen door but Buffy didn't move, instead she enjoyed the feeling as he brushed past her. As he walked past she cupped his ass and he jumped in surprise.
"Hey, watch the merchandise!"
"Oh, I am." She leered wickedly. He shook his head in disbelief.
Spike put the shopping down and turned to face her, still leaning on the doorframe. He walked slowly until he was standing directly in front of her.
"Hi." He said softly, and putting his hands on her waist he pulled her towards him and brushed her lips with his. He kissed her gently, gaining entrance with his tongue. Buffy responded and put her arms around his neck, pulling him in closer.
Buffy pulled away to breathe, resting her forehead against his.
"Hi," She whispered finally."That was some hello."
"Missed you." He said, leaning down to kiss her neck. Buffy tilted her neck to allow better access. She groaned as he traced her throat with kisses.
"Got much shopping to pack away?" She queried.
Spike pulled away and gazed at her with lust-filled eyes.
"Nothin' that can't wait, luv. Got any plans?" He raised an eyebrow at her and she took his hand and pulled him back to the bed.
"I'm sure I can think of something..."
"Where've you been?" She asked later, drawing lazy circles on his chest.
"Called at Mum's." He concentrated on her fingers. "Let her know I was still alive." He pulled her wrist towards him and sucked on her fingers. She felt a shot of desire surge through her.
"Did you tell her about us?" She queried, looking up at him.
Spike shook his head.
"No, thought we'd tell her togther. The same time I tell her I'm movin' in with you."
Buffy's jaw dropped and she stared at him. Spike grinned at her.
"The thing is, luv, I can't leave here now. I mean, I don't know what I'd do if you wanted me to go. But I need to be here,with you." Buffy's heart swelled with the love that radiated from him.
"Buffy?" He arched his eyebrow at her. She smiled.
"I want you here, Spike. I want this to be our home. I don't want you to be anywhere without me." She hugged him hard, burying her face in his chest. This was exactly where she wanted to be. Could life get any better than this?
Spike ran his fingers through her hair as it fanned out on his chest. He couldn't believe that every move she made turned him on. He gave a sigh of contenment. Buffy glanced up at him.
"I love you." She whispered. Spike beamed at her.
"Me too, pet," He pulled her up 'till she was lying at the side of him, nose to nose. "I need to ask you something, Buffy." He kissed her nose.
"What?"
"Fancy a pint?" She rolled her eyes at him and tugged at his bottom lip. She licked her lips and he growled, kissing her hard.
"C'mon then-Let's get ready." Buffy moved to pull away from him. Spike growled again and pulled her back to him.
"Plenty of time, luv. Plenty of time."
