At Your Command

"Renfield, obey!" Dracula snapped out, eyes glowing red.

Xander's eyes glazed over and he immediately stopped arguing. "Yes, master."

Buffy attacked while he was distracted and although it took several stakings, Dracula finally remained dust. She wasn't naive enough to believe this was the permanent end of the legendary vampire, but it seemed to be sufficient for tonight.

"Finally," Buffy muttered, wincing at the pain in her shoulder. "Someone give me a massage."

"Yes, master," Xander replied and immediately began working on Buffy's shoulders.

"Wha- ohh," Buffy melted. "Oh yeah, that's just perfect." It seemed to take no time at all before Buffy was lying on the ground receiving a full body massage. In fact, it was over an hour before Buffy noticed Xander's uncharacteristic silence. "Xander?"

"Yes, master?"

"What's with the master comment?" Buffy asked.

"The hypnotic trance created by Dracula's mind control powers has three basic commands: 1-Obey, 2-Be Respectful, 3-Enter trance on hearing the trigger command 'Renfield, obey'," Xander explained calmly, not stopping the massage.

"Are you angry with me?" Buffy asked in a small voice, as she realized she'd been unknowingly taking advantage of a friend.

"No master, I'm not in the least upset," Xander responded as he massaged her back.

"How can you not be upset?" Buffy asked in shock.

"I have no reason to be, master," Xander replied.

"B-But, I just made you massage me for like an hour with no choice but to obey! Why aren't you mad at me?"

"I get to straddle you while you're mostly naked and use my hands to make you make noises like you're having an orgasm, master," Xander replied. "This is the kind of situation the phrase, 'if this is torture, chain me to the wall' was coined for."

Buffy suddenly realized she was only wearing her t-back panties and sports bra when Xander started in on her left inner thigh and she moaned loudly, "Oh, dear god, this is better than sex!" It was roughly ten minutes before Buffy could speak again, "Ok, the difference between this and sex is academic now, I need new panties. Please tell me there is a way I can make this not awkward later."

"There is a way you can make this not awkward later," Xander said dutifully as he massaged her calves.

"You're just saying that because I ordered you to," Buffy realized. "I need to be more careful until the trance wears off. When does the trance wear off?"

"The trance doesn't wear off, master. The trance ends when you order it to end," Xander replied.

"Oh," Buffy said, surprised. "I don't suppose you know a way to make this not awkward later?"

"Yes master," Xander agreed, "Simply order me to forget when the trance ends."

"That won't upset you or make you mad?" Buffy asked.

"No, master," Xander replied, rubbing her feet.

"Ok," Buffy said with a relaxed smile. "I order you to forget everything that happened in the trance when it ends."

"Yes, master," Xander replied.

Buffy sighed as she extracted her feet from his grasp and stood up. "I better end this before I say the wrong thing and accidentally make you my slave."

Xander watched her get dressed with a smile on his face.

"Stupid Riley, stupid council, stupid ghost, stupid hormones," she muttered once she was dressed. "Well… one last command," she decided. "Would a kiss be okay?" she asked. "I mean, would it be something you would find objectionable?"

"No master, I would very much like to kiss you," Xander replied.

Buffy stood up. "Kiss me," she ordered. She stayed in his arms for a few minutes after the kiss had ended. "If I didn't love you so much, I would order you to do so many things right now, but I do so…" Buffy stepped back. "End trance," she ordered.

Xander blinked a few times. "I feel rested but my balls hurt." He winced. "Why do I feel like I have blue balls?"

"You got tagged in the… during the fight, sorry," Buffy lied. "But if it makes you feel any better, I staked him a bunch of times."

"It does thanks, but I… I need to use the restroom now," he admitted.

"Go ahead, I'll wait down here and… raid the Count's books, the library needs more books."

"Thanks," Xander said before rushing off.

"For once things worked out without complications," Buffy sighed, ignoring the sound of thunder outside.

A/N: It was a good start but it would devolve into porn within a chapter or two, because Buffy couldn't resist his massages and Dawn would eventually overhear.
