It was late into the night when everyone finished up their dinner and helped clean up, Buffy wasn't feeling so happy when she found out that Angel was in town and everyone but her and Eris knew. She understood it was to make sure it didn't affect her since she still wasn't completely over the vampire, but she didn't think it should have been kept from her. Eris knew why it was kept from her, if she found out she would have immediately told Buffy about it, she wouldn't keep anything like that from the Slayer, she had every right to know.
Once everything was cleaned up and people apologized to Buffy, they all went to their separate home, except for Eris, who thought it was best to stay with Giles to make sure Spike couldn't do anything to the old man in his sleep. He may have been tied up, but he was still strong and could break free, Giles shouldn't be left alone with him.
"You don't have to stay here Eris, I will be fine," the ex-watcher spoke softly to Eris who was packing away the plates she had dried.
"I know you can take care of yourself, but we can't trust Spike," she had a finality to her words that made Giles sigh. Unlike Buffy, when Eris stood firm there was no budging, especially when she was serious which was not often.
"Fine, you can stay over, but be careful, he can use your…history, with him against you," he was worried for her, having come to care for her like the others. She was another young woman who had a bad hand dealt to her, and the world of the supernatural had tried to sink its claws into her much like it did Buffy, and just like Buffy he felt responsible in making sure she was protected.
Memories of her time with Spike flashed through Eris' mind, reminding her of the good and bad, body against body, lips against lips, teeth against flesh, and the death he wished against her and her cousin. With a harsh shake of her head to clear out all those thoughts, she looked to Giles and gave a reassuring smile, "I'll be fine, I'll sleep on the couch and keep checking on him through the night."
"You need your sleep Eris."
"I wouldn't have slept in my own bed anyway, knowing that you were here alone, so it makes no difference."
Giles took a moment to stare at her before relenting, "Fine, but I will also get up to check," he finished up with his own dishes and hung up his tea towel, "goodnight, Eris."
"Night Giles," he watched him walk past Spike and give a glare before going upstairs to his bedroom to sleep. Finishing up the last of her plates, she took a moment to gather her resolve and walk into the loungeroom where she was going to be spending the night watching Spike. It was dumb, which was a regular thing for her lately, making dumb choices.
"Well well, seems we're sleeping in the same room tonight," came Spike's comment as she walked into the room, "like the good old times."
"Those good old times are never happening again," she said sharply as she grabbed a thick blanket and brought it over to the couch. Spike was tied to the chair that sat just behind the couch, watching her every move. "I have a boyfriend now."
Spike felt a rise of anger at her words but chose not to show it outwardly, she was just adding more and more things to stop him from getting what he wanted, "you got herself a man huh? You moved on pretty quickly."
"Not really, whilst I was fucking you I was flirting and going on dates with him," she laid herself down on the couch and wrapped herself in the thick blanket, preparing herself for a long night.
"Oh, how you wound me," he didn't really care she was doing that, the woman could do what she wanted with her body however she pleased, that was her right, that didn't mean he had to like that she wasn't his little pet. He liked his things the way they were, his. "Get yourself another bad boy? Or is he a stiff?
"Neither, he's a decent guy who actually treats me well, unlike you."
"You know what you were getting into with me."
"Yea about the sex, not about the want to kill my cousin."
"I didn't know the Slayer was your cousin."
"Would that have changed anything?"
"With the sex? No, but I would have used you to get to the Slayer."
"Way to make a girl feel special, that's why I found someone who will."
Spike snorted at that and leant his head to the side, letting his eyes take on that usual seductive look, "you'll get bored of him, you like it dangerous, and rough."
She took a deep gulp, trying to ignore her body taking on heat at his voice. Her mind didn't want it, but she was a nymphomaniac, and her body would always respond to flirts, "who says he and I don't do it rough?"
"I would bet my entire 200 years of living that you don't," her silence spoke volumes, "you haven't done anything have you?" more silence, "oh you poor poor woman."
"I'm not having this conversation with you." She grabbed her blanket and pulled it up over her ears.
"Fine, I'll let you sleep, only if you get me blood tomorrow, otherwise I will keep talking all night."
"If it gets you to shut up then I will sort out blood tomorrow, promise," she didn't want to starve someone to death, especially since he wouldn't actually die, just suffer every second.
"Good, night pet." She didn't reply, only closed her eyes and tried to sleep.
Eris had woken up early the next day so she could leave for classes and get away from Spike as soon as possible. She barely got to any sleep because she could feel him watching her the entire night, those blue eyes piercing into her back like they were lasers. Thank god that Giles was also up early so he could take over Spike watch.
She could barely focus on her classes, too consumed by her thoughts and her want to just go to Graham and prove to Spike she enjoyed her man and wouldn't get bored. She wouldn't have started dating the man if she thought he was boring.
Finally, when the bell struck for the end of the day she rushed up the steps of her psych class and over to her boyfriend, who had spotted her and gave her a big smile, "hey Eris, are you ok, you've been spaced out all d-" Graham was cut off by Eris pulling him into her and kissing him passionately. His friends that were watching whooped and whistled at such public display of affection.
They reluctantly pulled away from each other, both slightly breathless, "what did I do to deserve that?" Graham said in a whispered voice.
"I've missed you since you went away for Thanksgiving," Eris replied, her cheeks slightly flushed, "can we go to your dorm? I want to spend time with you."
Graham raised a brow at what that might mean and pulled her in slightly, "we could definitely do that."
"Be safe children," One of Grahams friends commented.
"Yea wear protection," came another. The other two laughed but ignored their jokes, wanting to spend time alone. She had said goodbye to Buffy and Willow and hurried after Graham to his dorm.
"So are you going to tell me why you were so eager to get me alone?" Graham asked once they were in the privacy of his room. He moved to sit on the bed, with Eris following to sit beside him.
"Someone I once knew crashed my thanksgiving dinner and he's honestly such a jerk," she huffed and leant her head on his shoulder, "was bullying me about my relationship with you."
Graham was silent for a moment, connecting the dots, "its was an ex, wasn't it?" he didn't sound angry, nor jealous, just straight to the point.
"You could say that," she couldn't give him all the details, he would never understand, "he was a one night stand that I found out after was someone who treated my cousin horribly during her highschool years."
"Guess he didn't like that you moved on?" he had a slight harsher tone to his voice now that he knew the guy was a one night stand and someone who hurt Buffy.
"Not really, but his words just made me want to see you more," she moved slightly and placed a kiss on his shoulder, which seemed to not be enough for the man. Instead he turned so he could grab her shoulders and pull her into a kiss, much more passionate than the one they shared in class. He encouraged her to lay down with her back against the mattress, kissing her the entire way down.
She allowed this, wanting to enjoy his kisses and hoping it would lead to something more. She wasn't used to slow romance. He tugged at her top slightly, so she lifted her back so he could slide it off her so only her bra remained. "You're beautiful," he muttered as he pulled back to take in her creamy skin.
She blushed at his words, she had never heard anyone say those words to her in such a sweet and meaningful way, "sweet talker," she commented with a soft smile as she grabbed his hand and placed it on her breast, giving him the ok to touch her. He readily agreed, and began tracing his fingers across her breast, feeling how soft they are. She sighed in enjoyment of his caress, especially when he dipped into her bra to pull her breast out. He leant down and started placing kisses all over it before bringing her nipple into his mouth, causing her to moan at the enjoyable sensation and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Let me take my bra off."
"Please do," Graham said in a husky voice which earned him a chuckle. Once the article of clothing was removed, he delved back down to give each breast the attention they so deserved.
He took his time to give her body as much affection as he could give, soft kisses, his fingers trailing across her soft skin, eliciting moans and sighs of enjoyment. He eventually removed her pants and underwear and gave the same attention to every inch of her skin there. Slowly he made his way up to her pussy and began touching her there with his fingers, soft yet methodical which earned him more moans and her body writhing in pleasure.
"That feels so good," she whispered softly, enjoying every wave of pleasure that hit her. He was so diligent with this touches, not wanting anything but her pleasure, he did not take anything for himself, he didn't rush to get her orgasm over and done with so he could take his own, he focused entirely on her.
She felt that all too familiar feeling begin to grow inside her, and wanting it to speed up she started to roll her hips and moan louder, letting him know she was close. And being the intuitive man he was, he sped up, rubbing her clit faster. She began to pant, unable to make any noises but the constant moans until her orgasm hit her. "Oh fuck," she said before her voice hitched in her throat and her thighs crushed his hand between them, waves and waves of pleasure rocked her and her orgasm wracked her entire body.
He slid his hand out from her thighs and chuckled huskily, "that was a very hot scene to watch."
"Its not over yet, its your turn," she said with a breathless voice.
"I don't need to have a turn, I was happy to just have you enjoy yourself," he replied with a kind smile before he leant in to kiss her sweetly.
"Please? I feel guilty," she didn't know how to handle a man not wanting to take his pleasure from her, and whilst she was swept off her feet that this guy only focused on her, it didn't mean she was going to leave it at that.
He looked at her for a moment, before nodding, "Ok, we can continue," he rolled over and grabbed a condom from inside one of his draws, "but safety first."
She nodded and waited for him to prepare himself. He soon got between her legs and started kissing her again to bring back the passion they had before. It didn't take long for the heat to return and as they continued to kiss he slowly slid himself inside her tight warmth, groaning at the sensation, "oh that feels good," he muttered into her lips as he started to thrust.
Graham was slow to begin, something that Eris was enjoying though not as much as the rough sex she loved so much. She allowed him to take the pace he wanted however as it was his pleasure she wanted to create, and luckily, he eventually shifted so her hips sat up higher and he could hit more deeply. He quickened in pace, thrusting into her harder and deeper, earning him moans of pleasure from the woman below him. Soon his orgasm rushed over him and with a few more thrusts he sunk into her fully and moaned in pleasure. She held him and brushed his hair as he let his own waves hit his body.
"Wow," he said in his own breathless voice as he pulled out of her and laid himself on mattress beside her, "I orgasmed so hard my face went numb."
Eris giggled and rolled slightly so she could kiss his cheek, "that's certainly making my ego grow," she laid back on the mattress and sighed, "that was ok, right? Having sex so soon into the relationship?" she knew some people didn't think it was appropriate to do so, she never had issues but she worried Graham did.
"I think its fine, great even. We care about each other and wanted to become closer, I don't think that's an issue," his calm voice soothed her worries and brought a smile to her face.
"I'm glad, though I'd be even more glad if we could go sneak into the showers."
"Good idea."
