And she, the one who had changed him, would be at his side, in his bed.

His.

--A Lesson in Submission :: The Alpha Series--"; quote[2] = "Smiling, the Master nodded and continued. 'I am not surprised that you are a bright child. Now, as to the second reason, well that is simply delicious. Angelus, the scourge of Europe...does not like being on the submissive end. Which, of course, is why I delight in forcing him to do as I say.'

--Power Play :: The Alpha Series--"; quote[3] = "The rebel in him pulled on the manacles, causing the metal to cut into his flesh, but still he pulled, trying to free himself. Teeth clenched, eyes burning with anger, he kicked his feet, trying not to wince as the chains hit his slender ankles.

All the while, he could feel Angelus' amused eyes on him, searing into him.

--Domini :: The Alpha Series--"; quote[4] = "That daring has carried through to these people, who bring color to the regimented somberness of Victorian mourning. They break the rules out of love. Even through the deep sorrow emanating from the cemetery, I can sense great love.

--Mourning Colors :: The Alpha Series--"; quote[5] = "Wide-eyed, Drusilla crawled off her master's lap and moved hesitantly down the bed. As she peered down at the man, he shrieked behind the gag, and she frowned.

'Hush,' she ordered, putting a finger to her lips, then brushing it over one of her fangs.

Opening her mouth wider, she clacked the fangs against her lower teeth, and smiled. 'Lovely...'

--Broken Doll :: The Alpha Series --"; quote [6] = "I don't want to sin anymore.

But, daddy says that's what I am. His dark princess of sin.

I don't want to sin. Sinners go to hell.

I think this is hell...

--So Hungry :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [7] = "He had found her with William; found them, limbs tangled, skin glistening, bodies satiated. William had blustered, tried to protect her, saying they had done nothing wrong, not understanding.

It didn't matter if William thought they had done nothing wrong. Everything she did was wrong...

--William :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [8] = "'Did you see?' she whispered dreamily. 'Did you see what my Angel did to me? All because he loves me. He tore away my purity and filled me with his evil. He needed to open me for the demon. He had to show me the exquisiteness of pain.'

--Visions :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [9] = "But, Angelus says we're going to the ballet and so we go to the ballet. And I must admit that Drusilla looks lovely in her new frock, all pink silk and lace. The eagerness on her face as she awaits the rising of the curtain is enough to keep me entranced for at least the first act.

--A Night at the Ballet :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [10] = "'For me?' William smiled broadly and Angelus sat down on a sofa, leaning back comfortably to watch. Tenderly, the younger vampire brushed the hair from the girl's face and neck, and his smile widened. On her throat was a fresh tattoo of a railroad spike entwined with a lavender rose, stabbed through a heart.

Turning from the terrified girl, William lifted the cover off the silver plate and his brows furrowed. A simple, unadorned, unfrosted sponge cake sat on the plate. As a wicked idea came to him, a sly smile crossed his face and he turned back to the girl.

-Centenarian :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [11] = "Drusilla hummed softly along with the musicians, her senses filling with the sounds of heartbeats, the smell of blood coursing beneath warm flesh, the sight of happiness and relief on faces so used to sorrow and fear.

She wanted to crush them all.

--Celebration of Death :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [12] = "'You always liked a smoky pub, a good brawl, and a voluptuous wench.'

'Not necessarily in that order,' I agree with a laugh.

Penn sets down his glass and my laughter dies at the molten tint to his eyes. 'I can't offer you any of that, but perhaps we can continue our reunion in a more traditional way.'

--Bond of Brothers :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [13] = "Sometimes he wonders if this is what is life will be for all eternity. His soul aches with the need for punishment for all his crimes. His body screams for pain to make him pay. His mind begs for release from the misery, if only for a few hours.

--Melancholy :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [14] = "The sun--off limits to creatures of the night like us. Only my love would let a song with such a dichotomy mean so much to her. She slid her fingers into the curls at my neck and smiled at me, then snapped her teeth together with a giggle.

--Night and Day :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [15] = "I found her in the knot garden, on her hands and knees, her curvy little bottom sticking up in the air wiggling as she snuffled at the grass beneath her. Sensing I was there, she glanced over her shoulder, giving me a sly grin.

'I'm a bunny.'

--The Bunny Hump :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [16] = "'But the candles have to be right and there are too many, I'm sure there are too many.'

Glancing over her shoulder as he ran his hands slowly up and down her trembling back, Spike saw that the cake was liberally festooned with candles. Every bit of the top and some of the sides had the little pink wax bits sticking from it.

--The Silver Hairbrush :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [17] = "Turning a corner I found myself in the middle of a bunch of hippies, lazing around on the corner, listening to a woman playing the guitar and singing. Stopping, I leaned against a building and watched the happy people singing and dancing and chatting. I could smell the lingering scent of grass and incense that pervaded their clothes.

--A Hippie Valentine's Day :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [18] = " But...they were. My black rose, my princess, no longer minded being Angelus' whore. She...loved it.

And...she loved him...

And I screamed...

--What Hurts the Most :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [19] = "'But, Spike, the pretty man looks so much like you.'

Grabbing the remote control from his insane lover's hands, Spike flipped the channel from 'Top of the Pops' back to the football game. 'I am not missing the injury time of a nil nil Manchester U game so that you can watch some ninny poof of a man sing about dancing by himself.'

'With himself,' Drusilla retorted, flopping angrily into the one chair in the hotel room in the heart of London.

--Football v. Music Videos = Hot Loving :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [20] = "'Spike?' she whispered.

'Yes luv?'

'Do you hate me?'

Hate her? Hate HER? I nearly strangled on my desire to scream my hatred for HIM. Forcing myself to respond, I managed to keep my voice gentle. 'No luv. Never you.'

--Alpha :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [21] = "My beloved was weeping--not great sobs, not hysterical wails, just soft cries, which had begun as soon as the shower was turned on. As long as the prick showered, she would cry--it had been this way every evening for the past two weeks. As soon as the water turned off, she'd fall silent.

--Surrender :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [22] = "The garden was filled with the scent of night blooming flowers--eerily white and pale purple blossoms. Pulling away from Angelus, Drusilla danced over to the gardenias and jasmine, plucking flowers to tuck behind her ears. Sitting on a stone bench, she began to weave the blossoms into a crown.

--Swingers :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [23] = "'You're not happy...are you.'

Sometimes I wondered at her moments of clarity and perception. Shaking my head, I reached out my hand and drew her onto my lap. I wheeled us away from the corpse, deeper into the garden. She pillowed her head on my shoulder, caressing my cheek with her delicate fingers.

--My Black Rose :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [24] = "But, I know she wants to, longs to. She loves the rain, both the gentle mists and the pounding torrents.

How many nights did we dance in the rain, tripping lightly over wet cobblestones, through muddy fields, on windy moors and warm beaches, laughing like children, carefree and wild?

She dances with him now.

--Wash Away :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [25] = "But, the Earth was still revolving its way around the cursed sun...so the Slayer had sent her former lover to Hell. She had guts, I had to give her that. As I glanced at Dru, lying unconscious against me, I knew I couldn't do the same, no matter what the consequences.

--The Shadow :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [26] = "I hadn't fed her in two days and I knew she was only a few hours away from the madness taking her. Well, she could wait those few hours. Pushing myself away from the door, I strolled nonchalantly across the room, stopping in front of her.

--Twisted Christmas :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [27] = "'Obi Wan!'

Spike awoke with a start. Obi Wan? Blinking into the darkness, he turned as Drusilla thrashed on the bed next to him, her whole body trembling. The heady scent of arousal reached his nose and he scowled at his princess, as she slowly calmed down, still asleep.

Fifth fucking time since they'd seen the movie the week before.

--Fancies and Fantasies :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [28] = "An hour later, Spike sits on the bed beside her, one of her frail hands cradled in his. She's asleep, but her dreams make her restless. Her body twitches, her lips turn down in a frown, and she whimpers every few minutes.

It's killing him...

--Deal with the Devil :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [29] = "Twenty minutes later, while Spike was on the phone to the last rental agent, Drusilla stood, nose pressed to the glass, watching the car go through the automated car wash. The flashing lights and bursts of water enthralled her until she giggled uncontrollably.

--The Mansion :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [30] = "Snorting again, Spike turned his mind back to the cable problem. Drusilla's need for pain, for mastery, was nothing new and could be dealt with at a future date. Right now, he needed his modem to bloody work. If he was going to be stuck in this piss hole of a town, even with the love of his eternal life back at his side, loving him with as much of her being as she could, he'd go nuts without his email and chatrooms and, yes, vampire porn.

--Computer Bytes the Big One :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [31] = "'What is it, luv?' He rubbed her back soothingly.

'Sunshine,' she whined pathetically.

'Did you kill him?' Spike sighed.

'No...he...' If a vampire could blush, she would have, as she whispered delicately, 'he was trying to have relations with my leg.'

--You Can Never Go Home Again :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [32] = "Joyce had forgiven him for trying to kill her daughter on several occasions. Spike had responded with a quick grin and forgiving her for birthing a slayer.

And so had begun their weekly Sunday night cocoa clatches.

-Happy Bicentennial :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [33] = "'Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger!'

Drusilla looked up from her magazine and watched her lover smack his forehead on the desk. 'That sounds like fun. We haven't done that for a while,' she said with a Cheshire cat grin on her face.

--Columbus Day Shopping Spree :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [34] = "Willow flushed, then tried to look at his face, but could only manage to stare at his throat. 'Um, if you don't want anymore trick or treaters, you should turn off the porch light.' She backed up a step, then turned and dashed down the walk to her friends.

Stupefied, Spike stared up at the offending light, then hit the switch and slammed the door. 'Who would have thought that was some kind of signal to the brats?' he muttered as he headed back to his lady love.

--Happy Helloween :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [35] = "Walking over to it, she picked up the jewel case that sat on top of the nearest speaker and looked at it in disbelief. 'Monster Ballads'? You actually watch infomercials, and even worse, buy things from infomercials?'

Spike scowled and used the remote to turn off the cd. 'It's good music.'

--Heaven is a Pair of Red Satin Knickers :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [36] = "Slowly Drusilla looked up and his heart nearly broke at the sorrow in her eyes. Groaning, he lifted her into his arms, burying his face in her neck. 'I'm sorry, Dru, so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'll never ever be sorry that I won you back, never, I swear. You are the only thing I'm thankful for. You and your love for me.'

--'What I'm Thankful For' by Spike :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [37] = "Angel shook his head, sending droplets of water spraying from his hair. 'No,' he muttered to himself. Cordelia was his friend. He'd never thought of her as anything else, never even seen her as a sexual creature.

When had he become a fucking monk?

--Bearding the Brooding Lion :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [38] = "'I'm sick of all the red and black. I think a lovely sapphire, and maybe...ooh, teal.' She began pulling shirts off the rack and holding them up to him.

'No, uh uh, I have plenty of clothes.'

'They're all the same,' she pouted, then turned to a table covered in tailored slacks, pawing through them until she found a deep grey pair in his size.

'I am not wearing anything called 'dockers'.'

Drusilla ignored him, grabbed a black banded collar shirt, and headed for the dressing rooms, Spike trailing helplessly behind her.

--On the Day after Xmas, My True Love... :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [39] = "Spike stared at Drusilla and shook his head in a very determined fashion. She smiled and patted his cheek, then continued to set out the New Year's party hats, horns and noisemakers. Scattered around the main room of the mansion were balloons and bowls of confetti.

'We are not having a New Year's Party.'

--Hats and Horns :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [40] = "Half the whisky was gone by the time the movie had reached the Spanish Inquisition part, and he sang along off key to the song. 'The inquisition, what a show, the inquisition, here we go...'

His singing was interrupted by a frying pan hitting him on the head, knocking him unconscious.

--A Typical Sunday Night :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [41] = "Eyes widening, Spike clapped his hand on top of his mussed curls and growled. 'Damn demon.' He wasn't sure if he was referring to the imp or his sire. He just knew that things had just gotten complicated...again.

--Treasure :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [42] = "As she brought Angel's hand around her stomach, she curled against Spike, snuggling her head onto his shoulder, and murmured, 'We're a family again.'

The eyes of the two males met and held for a moment, a warmth flowing between them, then Angel smiled a sad smile and closed his eyes. Spike did the same, shutting down his mind.

Everything could be dealt with tomorrow.

They had many more tomorrows. --Familial Bonds :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [43] = "They did hear the loud cry of shock and they outraged voice exclaiming, 'That is wrong on so many levels.'

Both males jerked their eyes to the doorway in which Cordelia stood, only to see a heavy plaque that was nailed above it fall and hit her in the head, stopping her tirade about having to cut the retreat short due to the earthquake. Suddenly quiet, she collapsed in a graceful and groaning puddle.

--Cherries Jubilee :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [44] = "Sighing, she leaned back against him, letting the hot water caress her pleasantly sore body. 'Okay, I get the confetti and flower petals and balloons and strawberries, all very romantic, but what was with the silky rope?'

Angel and Spike grinned at each other.

--Almost True Happiness :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [45] = "Angel scowled. ' 'm the sire, boy.'

'Uh huh.' Giggling, Spike darted down the street hollering, 'Catch me if you can.'

'That's undignified,' Angel muttered, continuing to stroll at a normal if rather wobbly pace. 'A master vampire doesn't dash down the street willy nilly.' He turned the corner and caught a glimpse of Spike taunting him with pelvic thrusts from the next block. 'Silly prick.'

--The Ways of Family :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [46] = "You wanna know why a master vampire is sprawled on the floor, naked, blood drying from dozens of lash marks, painting the toenails of a beautiful leather clad dominatrix?

Yahoo.

--Yahoo! :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [47] = "Screaming in fury, Spike kicked free of his chair, picked up his keyboard and flung it against the wall where it shattered into pieces. The force of his throw nearly toppled the tower computer the keyboard was attached to, but he smashed his hand on the top to keep it still.

Panting, he turned and kicked his chair several more times until it went sailing across the room and smacked into Drusilla as she ran through the door.

--Lily White :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [48] = "All the furniture had been pushed aside and Drusilla and Faith were sparring with short swords in the middle of the living room. They both wore chest plates over thigh length tunics, shin guards and helmets with red crests--armor 'appropriated' from the museum a few weeks back. Each woman bled from several small nicks and cuts.

And both were laughing as their swords met.

--Playful Obsessions :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [49] = "Angel walked over to Spike who leaned against the bar, looking like he was in intense pain. 'Where are all your good albums?'

The younger vampire scowled up at his sire. 'Somewhere safe, where these idiots can't break them.'

'You know, I can read you like a book. You don't mind these gatherings half as much as you pretend.'

The scowl deepened. 'I always knew I hated you.'

--Party :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [50] = "The dove cooed anxiously and Spike handed her the cage. 'All for you. I'll eat on the way home, maybe one of those drunken shriners.' He looked across the beach at the stands filling with people.

'Can I have his little car?'

--Fireworks :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [51] = "'Labor Day is supposed to be a day of NO WORK.'

Drusilla stilled and glared down at him, and, realizing what he had said, Spike gave her a meek look. 'Work? You think making love to your princess is WORK?'

'Um..no?'

--Laboring Mightily :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [52] = "Drusilla patted her daddy's shoulder and pouted. 'Yes. He's becoming as broody as you, daddy. It just won't do.' With a flip of her long skirt she turned and picked up her silk handbag. 'The nice Slayer and I are going to a spa and then to the naughty lingerie store. I expect I'll be gone for several hours. Please do something about him before I kill him.' She gave her sire a sweet smile and tripped lightly out the door.

Angel stared after her and sighed heavily.

The things one did for ones childer...

--What One Does For Ones Childe :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [53] = "'Spike, I think we've got real trouble.'

In the background, behind Spike's choked affirmative, Angel could hear Drusilla screaming one thing over and over.

'Grandmummy.'

--Grandmummy :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [54] = "'Where'd you get the cake, luv?'

'I ordered it from the Internet. I deleted all your naughty bookmarks while I was doing it,' she replied matter-of-factly.

Groaning, Spike knew he'd pay for that before the night was out. 'Who showed you how to do that?'

'Willowy Willow.'

Red was dead.

--Roses are Red, Bottoms are Too :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [55] = "Drusilla's mouth dropped open and she stared at the picture of herself, then she spun on Spike, leveling both angry and hurt eyes on him. 'You sent an intimate picture of me to the world?'

'Not the world, my private...um...Dru? How'd you learn to do all that?'

--Duty :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [56] = "'Not ready for sleep yet?' the vampire murmured, cradling the baby close. 'You're a creature of the night like your papa.'

Connor grabbed the finger Angel was dangling in front of his face.'And strong like me, too. How about a story then? Maybe...' Angel thought for a minute, and a soft smile crossed his face. 'Maybe one of the nice ones about your mama.'

Crossing his feet out in front of him, he settled more comfortably in the chair, and let his memories wander back to another Christmas Eve.

--A Family Christmas :: The Alpha Series--"; quote [57] = "Spike smirked at the sight of the slayer, wondering what the Hell she was doing running around campus in a short, silk nightgown with her hair wilder than normal. His eyes narrowed and the smirk faded as she slowly rose to her feet, sniffing the air, then stalked forward, her body moving almost animalistically.

--Imperative :: Buffy Want...--"; quote [58] = "Buffy woke with a start, her head shooting up, all her senses attuned. She was cold and her eyes flashed quickly around her, then she sniffed, wrinkling her nose. 'Bad smell.' Glancing down at the body she was half sprawled across, she poked at the smooth, muscular chest. 'Boy wake.'

--Insatiable :: Buffy Want...--"; quote [59] = "'Oh God, can this get more humiliating?'

'Well, we could have had an audience, which, since we did it the first two times in the bushes, was quite possible.'

'Thank you for the useful information,' she choked out.

--Irresistible :: Buffy Want...--"; quote [60] = "'Leaving?' Buffy whispered, propped up on her elbows, one knee bent.

Spike swallowed hard and forced himself to nod. 'It's nearly dawn and...we both know that nothing can come of this, Slayer. Nothing good, at least.'

Slowly she nodded, tears sparkling in her eyes. 'We were destined to be mortal enemies.'

'And mortal enemies we have to stay. I'm not going to go all poofy and stop killing, and you're not going to put up with me acting like the demon I am, so...'

'Stalemate.'

--So Long and Thanks for All the Sex :: Buffy Want...--"; quote [61] = "'I don't think we should tell Giles where you were, but I do need to call him and call off the search.'

'I'm sorry I worried you guys. I don't know what drove me out of here.'

'Believe me, I'm getting to know horny intimately.' Willow flushed and gave a mirthless laugh.

'Sorry.'

'Me, too.'

--The Initiative Did One Good Thing :: Buffy Want...--"; quote [62] = "The art wasn't even interesting anymore. Okay, yeah, at first sight fertility art was cool, but how many mondo-sized penises could a girl see, even if she hadn't seen a real one in way too long to think about.

And those chunky little women figures...Pendulous breasts were a turn on?

--Fertility Statues, Canapes & Spike :: Divine Madness--"; quote [63] = "'You are the strangest person I have ever met.'

Spike gave her a cocky grin. 'But, you like me.'

With a loud huff, Buffy stomped out of the room, slamming the door shut behind her.

'Oh yeah, she likes me,' he sighed softly, then winced and rubbed his sore head.

--Making Him Purr :: Divine Madness --"; quote [64] = "'Okay, for now you're my second. Betray me and I'll eat your bollocks for breakfast and then stake you in the sun.' The vampire cringed in a nicely obsequious way. 'So, listen up, you lot. I'm Master now of you motley crew. You do as I say and we'll get along peachy. Got a few rules, so pay attention. I don't like to repeat myself.'

--Poor Substitutes :: Divine Madness--"; quote [65] = "'Lord Spike?' Buffy mocked. He glared at her and ran a shaking hand through his hair.

'This isn't over.' His eyes bored hotly into hers and she shuddered as her lust swelled.

'It has to be,' she muttered, before taking off running back down the path.

--Wham Bam... :: Divine Madness--"; quote [66] = "Angel decided to take an ounce of pity on him and explained, 'The other rooms are full of dust. This is the only bed that's made, and I knew you'd be more comfortable undressed.'

'Hopefully the long-dead taste in my mouth isn't you,' Spike replied waspishly, making Angel chuckle.

'Your virtue is intact.'

'Bloody hell...'

--Peaches, Peruvian Pots and PMS :: Divine Madness--"; quote [67] = "'No more fighting?' he whispered.

'...No.' Mentally, Buffy made the adjustment and accepted her lust for Spike. She was too exhausted to fight it at the moment. Maybe in the morning...

--Winnie the Pooh and Spike and Buffy, too :: Divine Madness--"; quote [68] = "Buffy stood under the shower head, groaning and whimpering as the hot water beat against her sore muscles. She felt like she'd spent hours on her back being pounded into...

Oh...she had...

--Face the Music :: Divine Madness--"; quote [69] = "Frowning, Spike rose to his feet and stuffed his hands in the back pockets of his leather pants. 'It was just supposed to be a bit of fun,' he growled. 'She wasn't supposed to fill my every waking thought. I have a clan to run. I can't be mooning over a little blonde scrap of nothing.'

Joyce continued to smile.

--Denial is Not Just a River :: Divine Madness--"; quote [70] = "Willow pulled free and turned to face her best friend, eyes wide. 'Do you have a new boy friend that I know nothing about?'

'Can't a girl just buy frilly things to make herself feel good?'

Willow shrugged. 'You're talking to the girl with flowered cotton panties from Sears.'

The Slayer smirked. 'Let's get you something frilly, too. Something that will make Oz's eyes bug out.'

--No Rest in Restfield :: Divine Madness--"; quote [71] = "The older masters were idiots. Spike had long known that females were the deadlier and nastier of the sexes, and usually the more intelligent. While males went off half- cocked, females kept their wits about them and got results.

Led by Daria, his females had easily overpowered nearly three times as many in this new clan. He had noticed immediately that the Clan Nikolai females had fought only to survive and were obviously untrained. Spike had let them all live.

--Bustiers, Bruises and Bombshells :: Divine Madness--"; quote [72] = "Sighing heavily, shoulders slumping, Angel shrugged out of his coat and dropped it across a chair, not even caring to hang it away properly. Tired and heartsick, he headed upstairs, just wanting to reach his bed and sleep a dreamless sleep, and hopefully drive away the images of his beloved golden Buffy in the arms of the demon he had sired.

--Bonds Unbreakable :: Divine Madness--"; quote [73] = "All the while his mind screamed that this was unnecessary, that this wasn't the way he did things any more. Yes, he'd use the bond to force Spike to stay away from Buffy, but not to punish him, not to dominate him.

Angel gripped the whip tighter and before he could come to any rational decision, he cracked the leather.

--Mamas and Papas :: Divine Madness--"; quote [74] = "Feeling the tears falling down her heated cheeks, Buffy squeezed her eyes shut and forced herself not to reach out and hold him tightly to her. Confusion and fear filled her mind, and she tried to push the emotions aside, as she slipped into sleep.

--Repercussions and Realizations, but No Resolutions :: Divine Madness--"; quote [75] = "'Angel will kill me.'

Buffy frowned and turned her head to glower at the door, before returning her attention to her lover. 'I won't let him hurt you again, and if you'd stop throwing yourself at his feet asking him to hurt you, it would be a lot easier.'

--The Healing Touch :: Divine Madness--"; quote [76] = "'Remind me to buy a copy of that poofy Mars and Venus book,' Spike muttered. 'Because you make no sense.'

'Oh, yeah, and what you did last night made *so* much sense.'

Bickering, they continued down the deserted street.

--Love?, Lust and Loyalty :: Divine Madness--"; quote [77] = "Grumbling to himself, Spike sat down and tugged on his tie a bit more. He didn't know why he was so nervous. It wasn't like he hadn't worn a suit in the last six months. But...

This was a date. A godforsaken human stinking date.

'What I'll do for a hot shag...'

--First Date :: Divine Madness--"; quote [78] = "'It's Spike. He always ends up blowing his own plans. He's his own worst enemy.'

'I really wish you would take this more seriously.'

'I'll be careful, okay? I'll keep an eye out for Spike.'

--Show & Tell :: Divine Madness--"; quote [79] = "'Buffy,' Giles cautioned, 'he's extremely dangerous, you know that. Don't take him lightly.'

Hefting a small ax, Buffy smiled. 'Don't worry. I can handle Spike.'

*****

'Now, if I could just find him to handle him,' Buffy muttered to herself three hours later as she patrolled her fifth cemetery of the night.

--Reality Bites :: Divine Madness--"; quote [80] = "Her eyes darkened even more and slowly tears began to fill them. With a bitter sob, she sank against Angel's firm chest, her hands clenching into his shirt. Angel's arms automatically encircled her, holding her close, as he tried to comfort her.

'I should have known you'd run back to him.'

--On the Edge :: Divine Madness--"; quote [81] = "'You raped her.' A low growl began to spill forth from between Angel's tightly clamped lips, and his hands fisted at his sides.

Shaking his head quickly Spike took another step backwards and raised his hands to ward off the violence that was brewing in the dark vampire. 'Nuh--no, no. I...she...she wanted me, but she was upset, and I...my demon...I lost control and couldn't stop and she...'

Angel interrupted with a furious slash of one arm. 'Don't you dare blame her!'

--It All Comes Down to a Choice :: Divine Madness--"; quote [82] = "'One vampire met, one vampire staked through the heart, luv,' he murmured back.

'I was the one who got staked,' she whispered lightly, a smile forming on her lips as she drifted to sleep.

'You still got me through the heart, Buffy.' Laying back, Spike cradled her against him and watched the stars twinkle in the night sky, everything right with his world.

--Saturday Night :: Divine Madness--"; quote [83] = "A look of pure trust crossed her face. 'You won't...not till I'm ready.'

'Tell that to little Spike.'

Willow laughed. 'Oh, please don't tell me that you named it that.'

Spike grinned and leaned up to capture her mouth with his. 'A certain vampire named it. Where do you think I got my nickname from?'

--Sunnydale 69ers :: Interludes--"; quote [84] = "Spike crawled up her body and curled up next to her to whisper in her ear. 'Do you think the readers enjoyed this?'

Willow forced her eyes open and turned into her lover's embrace, replying sleepily, 'Not half as much as we did.'

--Willow & Spike Say Thanks :: Interludes--"; quote [85] = "Licking his lips, Spike sighed. 'Luv, when do I get to show you foreplay?'

'When I'm a hundred,' she snarled.

--Cheering Up :: Interludes--"; quote [86] = "'I heard that, my little bitch,' he snapped. 'Hurry before I lose my desire to paddle your ass.'

'Oh, yeah, that would be the end of the world.' Willow rolled her eyes, but continued to work, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

--A Flamer's Fate :: Interludes--"; quote [87] = "So, after Xander's fifteen minute diatribe that evening in the Library on her lack of morals and how disgusting it must be to kiss dead flesh and after hearing him call her a vampire's lust kitten for the hundredth time, Willow had snapped.

--Trials: Arrival :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [178] = "'Are you trying to piss me off even more?' Angel growled. 'Do you want me to beat the shit out of you?'

In a sparkling moment of clarity, Spike realized he did. He wanted his sire to take his fury out on him...and not on Willow or Drusilla. 'Do your best,' he ground out, clenching his hands into fists as he waited for the first low.

--Trials: Whipping Boy :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [179] = "'Come no farther,' Buffy intoned softly.

Willow made a face. 'Kill or 'do'.'

'Both probably.'

'You can?' Faith mocked. 'What? You're thralls of the king vamp? Vampire wannabes? He threaten your families, your friends if you didn't put out for him? You entertain his whole merry band?'

--Trials: Revelations :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [185] = "'I don't think so any more, Spike. I think this morning may have been the turning point. He may have finally realized just how far he can push things before Buffy will leave him. As long as I stay out of his way, I don't think he'll pursue me.'

'Until he's ready to turn you,' Spike growled in frustration.

'You could turn me first.'

--Trials: Best Laid Plans... :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [187] = "Crouching down in front of the door, Angel examined the lock. 'Do you have a lock pick?'

'Do I look like a cat burglar?'

Rolling his eyes, Angel tried again. 'Hair pin?'

'Um, 1999 dear. Only grandmas wear those.' Taking one of her cute, pink barrettes from her hair, she handed it to him. 'Will this work?'

Angel stared at it, momentarily overcome by the fact that he was in love with a modern teenager, then shook his head.

Maybe he had done something after all. Or... As the obvious truth hit him, terror filled him and he choked back a scream, whimpering, 'No,' in feeble protest. 'Please no.'

A glimmer of compassion filled Angel's eyes and he gently placed a hand on Spike's tightening cheek. 'I'm sorry, Will. It's time.'

Spike flung back his head and howled in agony.

--The End: The Lover :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [193] = "He wanted Spike broken and cowed and accepting. Even if it was only temporary, it should last long enough for Willow to be turned and awaken. In the end Spike would have no choice but to accept the fact of her as a vampire.

And his boy was inspiring an odd sense of paternal pride in him.

'That bit of leather offends me and since it's locked in place and no one will give me a key...' He let the sentence dangle menacingly.

Automatically, Willow's hand went to the embroidered collar around her neck. It hadn't been off her in nearly a month, and that night she'd only lasted two hours before she'd wanted it returned to its rightful place. 'Please...don't take it away from me.'

--The End: The Fire :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [195] = "'No pretending, Willow.' His thumb brushed across her trembling lips. 'I am your sire, your master, your fucking god, not him.'

Rising on her toes, she pressed a hard, sensuous kiss to his lips, then pulled back, licking the taste from the corner of her mouth. 'Virgin.'

The shock of her kiss sent a bolt of anger through him, and he pulled back. 'I am a good, Christian man, saving myself for marriage.'

His righteous puffery made her laugh even harder and she danced through the flames. 'Oh, William, wake up.'

--The End: The Visions :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [197] = "Touched by his passion, Willow turned her head to look at him through eyes brimming with tears. 'You're turning your back on everything, William.'

'This isn't a court of law, my love,' she replied sadly to his impassioned protest. 'I have to live with my choices, and I've always kept my word.'

--The End: The Decision :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [204] = "'I forgive you,' she whispered. 'I love you.' Lowering her head, she pressed a soft kiss to his tightly drawn lips.

--The End: The Heart :: The Erotic Adventures of Willow & Spike--"; quote [206] = "Drusilla began to laugh softly, and the sound sent a chill through Angel. 'We never had a choice.

She's not sure she remembers what love feels like.

But, whatever the feeling is, she likes it.

--Reality Twists--"; quote [269] = "That was all she knew, and, in time, she forced herself to forget him. She learned to ignore the pang in her undead heart, the inevitable comparisons every time she took a new lover.

'Oh, I think I did,' he replied, his voice full of satisfaction. 'It will fade in a week or so, but until then...you'll never forget.'

'No naughty girl on girl action?' His hands moved to the zipper of his jeans as he kicked off his boots.
