"You had sex with Spike-" Anya spoke affronted.
"An-" Xander attempted to interrupt.
"And you didn't invite me?" she demanded.
"What?" he gaped.
"You had sex with Spike and didn't invite me?" she repeated.
"I don't know where to start with that sentence," he murmured.
"What?" she asked, clueless as she often was to human nuances.
He let out a soft laugh. "I thought you would be upset that I'd cheated on you." She shrugged. "Wait, you haven't cheated on me, right?"
"Of course not," she spoke, affronted. "You know that was the reason I became a Vengeance Demon."
"Hence why I thought you'd be pissed at me," he spoke, gesturing dramatically.
"Xander," she spoke slowly, "I was aware of the Hyena-demon still infusing your being." He gaped. "Don't forget, I was still a Demon myself when we first crossed paths," she reminded. "And Hyena-demons, like their natural counterparts, are Matriarchal. Since you were the leader, it only followed that the nature that possessed you was female, and that of course meant that there would come a time when you craved male attention."
He blushed. "And you still dated me?"
"I'm much older than you, and sexuality has not always been so clearly defined. There have been times when relations between males were not expressly forbidden – although, it was recommended for it to be indulged privately," she added with a smile.
"So you're not upset with me?"
"I wouldn't say that," she answered honestly. He braced himself. "Promise me something?" His head tilted curiously. "If you feel the urge for Spike's – or any other male's – company in the future, ask me to join you. Even if your partner doesn't want me to participate too, I can still watch," she spoke with a wicked smile.
His lips curved. "I promise."
