Pairings- Buffy/Spike

Blood willingly given

Dawn's eyes widened as she took in Spike's appearance. His chest was entirely bare, he was slick with sweat and he looked weak, yet Dawn couldn't help but find him attractive.

Spike's own eyes widened when they zoned in on the nasty looking cut on Dawn's temple. Spike winced for her.

" Niblet, you haven't been honest, I asked if you were hurt. You told me you had only fallen ?"

Spike asked her, his eyebrow arching.

Dawn gulped and shifted on her feet, staring at the ground she mumbled a reply.

" I did fall over, I just cut myself as well, it's no big."

Spike frowned as he heard her say it was not important.

" Come here Niblet it's a big to me, don't look so scared, it's me, Spike ! You know I wouldn't hurt you Dawn. Don't you ?"

Dawn had met his eyes as soon as she heard her name instead of her much loved nickname leave his voice, she saw the pain gathering in his icy blue eyes.

" Of course I know Spike,"

She moved forward till she got close enough for Spike to reach her and in one graceful movement she was sitting in between his legs his arms securely wrapped around her delicate frame.

Spike nuzzled the side of her face affectionately and Dawn melted under the contact.

She had missed this, missed it with all her heart.

Tears slowly slid down her cheeks, she tried to sniff them away, she couldn't wipe them her arms were held securely in his hug.

Eventually a tear dropped from her chin and on to Spike's cold arm.

At first Spike frowned, he looked up at the ceiling, suspecting a crack, then as he felt another droplet land on him and he felt Dawn quiver slightly he finally worked out what they were.

Gently he turned Dawn to face him, he put a cold hand to her face and gently wiped the tears away.

He closed his eyes and kissed her tentatively on the forehead, Dawn closed her own eyes as his lips made contact with her skin, she lost herself in the moment. Slowly he pulled back and Dawn felt her face fall, Spike gently flicked at her chin and moved her face up so their eyes met.

" I've missed you so much. You and Buffy, you have no idea how much it killed me to think I'd never see you two again. Dawn I'm weak, I need blood, I've seen a few Rabbits hang about around here from time to time. Please try and get me one, or something. I'll be very grateful Niblet."

Dawn smiled.

" I already have your meal"

Saying this she slowly exposed her milky wrist and moved it toward's Spike's mouth, Spike's hand caught it gently.

" I won't feed off you, your too precious to me. I don't want to hurt you Niblet no matter how much more tempting you are than Rabbit's fluff."

Dawn kept her wrist in place after he let her go. She let a small smile tug at her lips as she watched Spike eye her wrist, especially her vein as if it was the holy grail.

Slowly his resolve weakened. He grasped her wrist again, a little tighter this time, he went to bring it to his mouth when he stopped.

His eyes moved from her vein to her eyes, he said nothing but as Dawn drowned in his eyes she heard him speak huskily in her head.

Niblet this is a big step, I don't want to force you. Are you sure about this ? Once I start it'll be hard for me to know if you want to stop

Dawn smirked and thought hard and clear.

I'm sure Spike, get on with it already your eyeing my vein like it's the Holy grail !

Spike chuckled and nodded his agreement.

Gently his other arm snaked around her waist and brought her up close so she could rest on his naked shoulder. Once he was sure Dawn was secure and comfortable he brought her wrist to his mouth.

His lips pressed over her vein and began to kiss the skin seductively, Dawn against her better nature moaned appreciatively. Spike felt his insides warm up and feel giddy at the sound of her moans, knowing he was making her happy.

Slowly after kissing her skin he moved his tongue against it, his tongue soothed the skin and made it slightly numb, he began to suck against it to bring the blood closer to the surface, this way he wouldn't have to bite so deeply. He began to nip at her flesh teasingly with his blunt teeth. Dawn gave out another moan. Slowly his tongue glided over her wrist, he concentrated on the feel of her flesh and decided she was numb enough for the biting.

Brace yourself Niblet

His face turned to Vampire mode and with his fangs he bit into her wrist.

Dawn immediately stiffened in his hold and with the hand not securing her wrist he tightened his hold on her.

He could feel her quivering and he could see her face as she closed her eyes and clenched her teeth.

There there Niblet it's almost over, almost.

Then it happened, his fangs finally pierced her vein and blood poured into his mouth.

He retracted his fangs from her, his face changing back to normal and he began to suck and feed off her wrist.

Dawn relaxed again, the burning pain gone and replaced by Spike's soft full lips sucking at her skin.

Dawn completely relaxed in Spike's arms, she felt energy drain away from her but the sensation was far from unpleasant in fact she loved the feeling of Spike sucking blood from her.

She felt her bones turn to mush and she was sure that she had turned into a liquid and was melting into his arms.

She felt weaker and her eye lids began to droop, she slumped in his arms and Spike immediately stopped feeding and pulled her wrist from his mouth.

Niblet ? Niblet ? Answer me Niblet ? Are you ok Niblet !

Dawn opened her eyes tiredly, her eyes glassy and unfocused.

" I'm fine Spike, I'm just tired, that's all. It was nice Spike..."

Spike was about to say something when her head fell limply back into his shoulder and he felt her heavy and regular breathing.

Spike calmed down a bit then, ribbing his trouser leg he tightly tied the fabric around her wrist and cuddled her in his arms as he made his way to Angel's old bed.

Gently he brought the covers over Dawn and kissed her forehead.

" Thank you Niblet, you taste fantastic."

Dawn smiled and then fell into a deep slumber with Spike watching over her.
