As always: Feedback makes my heart go pitter-patter.
"Never, pet," Spike growled. "Never gonna let that happen. I'll tie ya ta the bed and shag ya silly every day if that's wot it takes to prove it to ya!"
"Promise?" Xander laughed as he snuggled back into Spike.
"Oi! Cheeky git!" Spike replied as he gave another swat to Xander’s firm ass. He pinned Xander close to him.
Xander reveled in Spike's possessive hold. Home and freedom were in that hold and Xander never wanted to escape it.
***
The rendezvous with the DeSoto was a mixed blessing. It was wonderful for Spike and Xander to see Faith, Gunn, and Fred again. However, it was upsetting that Wes wasn’t there. While the two lovers were relieved to hear Wes was recovering; it was painful to hear about how severe his wounds had been. Fred assured them that Wes was going to make it and that all indications were that the stem cell graft had worked. They just had to wait to see how well.
Spike let Faith continue to command the DeSoto back to Hyperion while he continued his pattern of alternating between acting as Xander’s Captain’s Mate on the Zeppo or staging more mutinies. By the time the Zeppo and the DeSoto returned to Hyperion, Xander couldn’t even say the name of his ship without stuttering and blushing.
Landing on Hyperion brought a small surprise to the lovers. Angel was waiting on the landing area for them. After debarking from the Zeppo’s gangplank, Spike and Angel did an uncomfortable ‘dance’ of awkward steps around each other. Finally Xander griped, “Hug or hit each other but can we just get on with it?”
Spike and Angel shared a rueful glance and then did both. They quickly grabbed each other until they were mashed together in an awkward embrace and just as quickly they slapped each other on the back before parting.
Angel then approached Xander. Xander just raised an eyebrow and said, “It won’t be a hug Bio-boy.”
Angel snorted, smiled and then led the way back to his headquarters. Spike slapped a possessive hand on the back of Xander’s neck and chuckled all the way there.
Wes was waiting for Angel and crew back at headquarters. Xander barely checked his startled gasp at seeing Wes in a wheelchair. Spike seemed to take it in stride and started calling Wes, ‘Wheels,’ much to his dismay.
The reunion was wonderful with everyone joking, talking and swapping stories of their adventures since parting. When Wes seemed to be on the verge of falling asleep Fred announced she was beat and offered Wes a ‘push’ back to his room. Wes nodded and both Fred and Gunn wheeled him away.
After Wes left Spike’s demeanor changed swiftly from loose and happy to rigid and radiating rage. Spike looked at Angel. Spike growled one word before storming out of the office; “’Gelus.”
Angel stood up and quickly followed Spike. Xander tried to follow but Faith grabbed him by the arm.
“Don’t,” Faith said.
“He needs me,” Xander argued.
“He needs to hurt someone,” Faith replied. “Wes is not only Spike’s friend; he’s under Spike’s command. Wes was badly hurt and Spike couldn’t do a damn thing about it.”
“I know and I have to do something to help,” Xander said.
“Then go upstairs, strip down, clean up and crawl into your shared bed,” Faith ordered. “Let Angel do the hurt and you do the comfort.”
Xander stood for a moment staring at Faith and contemplating her words before finally nodding his head. Faith let him go and he went upstairs and followed Faith’s orders. Much later that night Spike returned, showered and then crawled into bed with his pet.
“Spi…,” Xander tried to say but was silenced with one finger delicately pressed against his lips. Then Spike made love to Xander very slowly and very lovingly until Xander was boneless and sated. Afterwards, Spike laid his head on Xander’s chest and let silent tears fall down his perfectly chiseled cheeks. Xander wordlessly stroked and caressed Spike until they both fell asleep.
The next morning Spike was back to his arrogant and bossy self. Angel, though, seemed to move slowly and still looked bruised and beaten. Xander decided to give the older Biogen a small truce that day and kept his sharp-tongued barbs to himself.
A few planetside weeks later Angel and crew once again gathered together. This time they gathered at the med center in the physical therapy room at Wes’s command. Then Wes proudly wiggled his left foot. Everyone clapped, laughed and congratulated Wes. The movement that far down Wes’s spine meant not only had the stem cell graft taken and worked but that Wes’s spinal injuries were healing. It would take many weeks in physical therapy but Wes would be able to walk again.
Angel had insisted everyone go back to his office for a drink where he had poured everyone a glass from his private stock.
“To reunited friends,” Wes said and raised his glass.
“To kickin’ butt,’ Gunn answered with his raised glass.
“To Spike and Xander!” Fred chirped.
“To getting some,” Faith purred.
“Ta the best damn crew in the ‘verse,” Spike said.
“To peace,” Xander said.
“To family,” Angel finally intoned and then downed his drink.
Everyone else followed suit and soon Angel and the DeSoto crew were once again laughing and swapping stories. It was a comfortable and cozy gathering until Xander caught a familiar twinkle in Spike’s eye.
“Oh no you don’t, Captain Lechery!” Xander squeaked while getting up and moving away from Spike.
“Xanpet,” Spike crooned while letting his eyes go gold and his stance predatory.
“Spike,” Xander said while maneuvering around a sighing Angel and Angel’s desk. The rest of the crew started to giggle.
“You run,” Spike said, “you’ll be in big trouble.”
“I’m not going to let you throw me over your shoulder and haul me off upstairs in front of everyone,” Xander retorted as he feinted and then made a dash for the door.
Spike laughed and gave chase. Angel dove for the vids and papers suddenly scattered by the scramble and the rest of the crew dashed out the door to watch ‘the game.’
While Xander was wily and fast, the game still ended as everyone anticipated. Xander was slung over Spike’s shoulder squirming and fussing while Spike whistled and entered the lift that would take him and his pet upstairs to their room.
That night Spike tied Xander to their bed and then began a slow torture of teasing Xander’s bound body. Spike kept Xander on edge the entire evening and even bound Xander’s cock to make sure Xander wouldn’t come until Spike let him.
Spike reduced Xander to a fleshy ball of hungry desire. Xander went from vowing to never run from Spike again to seriously wondering if he could survive this every night.
After Spike had rendered Xander a quivering mass of need and pleasure he finally took pity on his sweet pet and said, “Give me the code and I’ll let ya go.”
“Huh?”
“Give me the code and I’ll set ya free,” Spike said while thrusting his hips forward to drive his cock once again over Xander’s happy spot.
Xander arched into that thrust as much as he could and tried to concentrate. What code? What’s he talking about? Xander thought.
Over and over Xander tried to figure out what Spike wanted. He called out every name of the DeSoto crew, the Regent’s circle and even the names of the various colonies they had visited. Each guess was wrong and each guess was answered by another sensual torture from Spike ranging from teasing Xander’s sensitized nipples to Spike thrusting his cock back and forth over Xander’s prostate.
Finally Xander shouted, “Abacus!”
“Abacus?” Spike stilled and then laughed.
“Hey, I’m desperate,” Xander panted. Spike shook his head and then descended to claim his pet’s mouth.
“We’ll I’ll give ya an ‘A’ for originality in the face of desperation,” Spike said when he broke the kiss, “but that’s still not the code that’ll get ya the goods.”
The goods? Xander thought, as Spike feasted with hungry nibbles on Xander’s neck. That sounds so familiar. That…
And then suddenly Xander knew what Spike wanted. Xander groaned and then laughed, “Harris. Zed – Beta – Alpha – Jesse!”
Spike stopped nibbling, smiled wickedly at Xander and then freed Xander’s cock. Xander arched up and let his release take him over. Spike quickly followed suit.
***
Xander woke to Spike kissing a trail down his spine.
“You wore me out last night,” Xander muttered into his pillow, “you’re gonna have to start without me this morning.”
Spike chuckled against the cleft of Xander’s ass and sent his sinful tongue down the fleshy tunnel for a quick taste.
“Spike,” Xander groaned in sleepy pleasure.
“C’mon, pet,” Spike said. “Get up.”
Xander shook his head and snuggled deeper into the pillows.
“Pet!” Spike laughed and then tried to sound stern, “that’s an order.”
“Punish me then,” Xander laughed into his pillow and waggled his butt at Spike.
Spike rolled his eyes and slapped Xander’s butt. Xander purred into the pillow.
“Ya know all punishments aren’t pleasant,” Spike warned with a smile.
“I’ll take my chances,” Xander said with his face still plastered in the pillow.
Time for a different tack, Spike thought.
“If ya don’t get out of bed right now,” Spike said, “ya won’t get yer prezzie.”
Xander rolled slowly to his side and blinked an eye open.
“Prezzie?” Xander asked while he stared at Spike.
“Prezzie,” Spike said as he reached out and tucked a lock of Xander’s growing hair behind his ear.
Xander then sat up and looked at Spike.
“Gimme,” Xander said. Spike laughed and then kissed Xander soundly.
“Up and in front of the mirror,” Spike ordered.
Xander scrambled out of bed. He stumbled his way to the full length mirror in the bedroom and looked at Spike’s reflection.
“Now what, Captain Morningbreath?” Xander asked.
“Oi! Close yer eyes and no peeking, prat!” Spike ordered while he forced down a chuckle.
Xander sighed and did as he was told. He could hear Spike rummaging around in the drawer by their bed. It was the same drawer where they kept many of their sex toys.
“I’m tellin’ ya, Spike,” Xander said with his eyes tightly shut, “Little Xan is all worn out from last night. Biogen or not, he just ain’t got the goods to deliver this morning.”
“We’ll see. Just keep them peepers closed until I tell ya ta open ‘em,” Spike warned.
Xander waited and soon he felt the presence of Spike behind him. Then Xander felt something cool and metallic being wrapped around his neck. He heard a small ‘click’ and then Spike’s arms wrapped around his waist and Spike’s chin rested on Xander’s shoulder.
“Open yer eyes,” Spike whispered.
Xander did and then gasped. Around his neck was a gleaming metal choker beaded with an alternating series of blue and brownish-green stones.
“The metal’s platinum,” Spike whispered in Xander’s ear while staring at their reflections. “The blue stones are sapphires and the other ones are tiger eyes.”
Xander looked from the choker into Spike’s eyes. He then looked at his own eyes. Sapphire for Spike and tiger eyes for me, Xander thought and smiled.
“It’s beautiful, Spike,” Xander whispered back as he let his eyes lock on Spike’s again.
“Promised ya I’d get ya another collar some day,” Spike said.
“I promise to never take it off,” Xander whispered and turned in Spike’s arms so he could really look in Spike’s eyes and not just his reflection. “I’ll wear it ‘til I die or you take it off.”
“Never gonna happen,” Spike vowed and then kissed Xander until Little Xander thought he could go another round.
As the two men stumbled back to bed wrapped in each other’s arms and desire Spike thought, Kept my promise, Dru.
Then the time for thinking was over and the time for loving began.
