Summary: It’s been seven years since Angelus killed Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Seven years after Angelus opened a portal to hell on Earth. Humans are food, slaves or on the run. There’s hope only in small band of resistance fighters. However, that’s a hope Xander Harris no longer has. It’s been six months since he was taken in a raid. At first Xander thought he was lucky the demons didn’t know who he was; but then that was before he became property to an Azora demon.
As always: Feedback makes my heart go pitter-patter.

srPrevious parts here.
***********************
Xander’s heart thudded to a stop and his breath caught in his throat. He would have fallen to his knees but Spike’s arms wrapped around him and held him up. Sitting on a cot on the far side of the room with his feet chained and his arm in a sling was Larry!
Larry was sitting up and blinking into the light. He looked at the figures standing in the doorway.
“Xander?” he asked.
Larry! Xander’s mind raced. Larry…you’re ALIVE!
********************************************************************************
“Xander?” Larry repeated.
Xander pulled himself upright and struggled against Spike’s hold. Spike released him and Xander stumbled forward close to the cot. Larry stood up and Xander stopped inches in front of him. He stared in wonder at the man before him.
“Tell ‘im what ya remember,” Spike ordered.
“Why should I?” Larry retorted shooting Spike a look of hatred. Spike rolled his eyes and Xander snapped his fingers furiously trying to get Larry’s attention.
“Cuz he’s been wracked with guilt and pain for days now over your death,” Spike said.
“Wha..he didn’t know?” Larry stared in shock at Xander.
Know? Know what? Fuck! Someone tell me what’s going on! Xander silently pleaded with Larry. Larry stared at Xander’s shocked face and then glared back at Spike.
“You’re a bigger bastard than I thought,” Larry said.
“Mum was married when she had me,” Spike replied drolly then patted his coat for a cig before he remembered his promise to Lorne. Jeez I need a fag, Spike thought.
Xander stomped his foot. Larry looked at Xander and blushed.
“Don’t have a cow, Harris,” Larry said. Xander rolled his eyes. “Look. Let me get this straight…you thought I was dead?”
Xander nodded. I saw you go off the roof! Xander thought and then another thought slammed through him. I thought I saw you go off the roof.
Xander turned and looked at Spike. Spike took an unneeded breath and returned Xander’s gaze. YOU BASTARD! Xander thought. YOU LET ME THINK…MADE ME BELIEVE HE WAS DEAD!
“Spike started dragging me toward the edge of the roof,” Larry began to explain. Xander turned back and focused his attention on Larry. “Wasn’t going to go down without a fight. Then…well I figured out the hard way bleach head over there was pulling his punches while he was sweating me downstairs. One punch and I was seeing birdies! Next thing I know I’m waking up down here with some red-eyed green demon apologizing and setting my arm. When I try to tear into him he lets out this unholy shriek…”
Huh? Description matches Lorne, Xander thought and arched an eyebrow, but never heard of him doing something like that.
“…fucking worst headache of my life! Demon tells me to “behave” and “not be rude,” Larry stopped talking for a moment and shook his head. Then chuckled, “Never been given a lesson in manners by a demon before.”
That sounds more like Lorne, Xander thought and nodded.
“Anyway, he smears this stuff on all my cuts and bruises. Tells me he’s left some MREs in the corner sans the ration heater. Guess he was afraid I might make some noise of my own. Anyway, he says my chain’ll reach everywhere in the room and the adjoining john but won’t get me as far as the door. Says he’ll be checkin’ in on me as much as he can…and that’s been my life until you showed up.”
Xander looked at Spike. If Larry didn’t go off the roof... he paled at what he was thinking.
“Xan,” Spike said softly.
Who! Who went off the roof? Xander thought and pointed at Spike. Then made a tossing motion with his arms.
“Lorne found him,” Spike explained.
“Found who?” asked Larry.
“It was someone who…not everyone has a red stable like mine, pet,” Spike said. “He’d been in the arenas a long time, pet. Lorne made sure he went out peacefully. He was unconscious when he was planted on the roof. In the arenas he’d have been beaten to death or torn apart while alive and screaming.”
“You fucking bastard!” Larry screamed. “You fucking own this city and you let this shit go on!”
Xander closed his eyes for a moment then opened them again. Yes, he lets it go on, Xander thought, because if he didn’t every one of those happy and healthy children in the green stables would be more fodder for the arena or the people in the red stables would die screaming in agony.
“Harris?”
Xander turned and looked around the room. In the corner near the cot there was a small pile of MREs. Some were opened and others weren’t. There was a light switch by the cot. He could also clearly see the small bathroom connected to the room. There wasn’t a door, but it did have a small curtainless shower, a toilet and a sink. There was a plastic cup and a toothbrush on the sink. There wasn’t a mirror.
Xander looked at Larry then patted his own smooth cheek. Shave? Xander thought.
“The green demon…”
“Lorne,” Spike barked.
“The green demon,” Larry insisted as he reached under the pillow of his cot. He pulled out a battery operated electric shaver, “left me this.”
“Oi! Didn’t authorize that,” Spike growled.
You wouldn’t! Xander thought and glared at Spike.
“Not gonna take it away from him!” Spike said. Xander grunted and looked back at Larry. He pointed at him and made the “OK” sign.
“Huh? Well..other than being a prisoner of Spike…recovering from being sliced, beaten and surviving on ‘Meals Refusing to Exit’, yeah I’m OK,” Larry said. “You?”
Getting better, Xander thought and see sawed his hand back and forth. Then he blushed as he realized Larry was naked.
“Huh?”
“Think he just realized yer starkers,” Spike observed.
Xander nodded.
“Guess I haven’t earned clothes,” Larry said pointing at Xander’s open shirt and leather pants and suddenly starting to wonder about Xander’s relationship with Spike. Xander flinched and Spike growled.
“Xander’s my, Pet,” Spike said, “I don’t share.”
“That right, Harris?” Larry said bitterly. “You a good do…”
Before Larry could finish his sentence Spike was across the room in full game face. He had Larry by the throat and up against the wall.
“I may need you alive and healthy for my plan,” Spike growled, “but there’s lots o’ ways I can leave you in agonizing pain for the rest of yer long healthy life! Choose yer words carefully!”
Xander tugged in futility at Spike’s arms while Larry gasped and struggled. Eventually Spike released him and Larry sagged to the floor. He stared up at the angry vampire.
“Huh,” Larry said. “You almost seem protective of him.”
Xander pushed his way between Spike and Larry. He looked at Larry and thought, Don’t push it you idiot!
“I protect what’s mine,” Spike growled.
Larry looked at Xander.
“Is that right, Harris? You his?” Larry asked.
Xander flushed. He didn’t know what to think anymore. He looked at Spike and he looked at a living breathing Larry who didn’t have clue one what Spike had risked with faking his death.
Whatever Spike’s up to, Xander thought. He’s in deep. Way deep. Keeping and playing with kids in the green stables is one thing. Even hidingTara could be argued as just another demonic power play…but this? The manuscript…he’s up to something big…and whatever it is it’s definitely not something Angelus would approve of…maybe something…
“Gonna answer him, pet?” Spike asked softly.
Xander looked at Spike. He was back in his devastatingly handsome human face. Xander searched the vampire’s blue eyes and saw only Spike. He felt the pull he’d felt afterL.A.
For now, he thought, for now I’m still yours and will play your game.
“Harris!” Larry yelled in shock at the confirmation of his worst suspicions.
“Pet,” Spike whispered in surprise.
But don’t you ever pull some thing like this again! Xander thought as he balled up his fist and pummeled it as hard as he could into Spike’s jaw. Spike staggered back and rubbed his chin. Don’t ever put me through that again or so help me Lorne will be picking you up with a Dustbuster!
“Right,” Spike said as steadied himself, “I’ll give ya a pass on that one.”
“Harris you hit him! Are you nuts?” Larry asked now suddenly worried that no matter the relationship Spike wouldn’t let a human get away with decking him.
Damn right you will Master Bastard, Xander thought angrily.
“But in my defense it was your reaction that sold that bit of stage magic to Lilah…to Angelus,” Spike said.
“Lilah? Who’s Lilah?” Larry whispered. “And what’s Angelus got to do with anything?”
And you don’t think I could have ‘sold it’ if I knew the truth? Xander thought as he angrily marched on Spike.
“Pet, yer not very good at lyin’. One look in those big browns and the jig would have been up.”
“Jig?” Larry asked.
So you just let me suffer! Think Larry was dead! Let me believe you were a mo…Xander balled his fist again.
“Pet,” Spike warned and took a step back. “You throw another punch and so help me yer not gonna like yer punishment.”
“Harris have you gone completely mental?” Larry asked.
Might be worth it Master Meathead! Xander thought and closed the distance on Spike. Blue eyes warred with brown eyes.
“Pet…” Spike said.
Apologize! Xander thought angrily! You didn’t just hurt me Spike…you betrayed me!
“Xander…”
Xander shook his head at the vampire and kept his angry and determined glare on Spike.
“There wasn’t any other way,” he said softly and then relented, “I’m…sorry.”
Xander narrowed his eyes and studied Spike. Regret was clearly seen shimmering in those eyes and something that had been wound tight and painful in Xander’s chest for days began to unravel. He nodded slightly.
“Will someone tell me what’s going on?” Larry asked clearly confused.
Xander looked back at Larry and shook his head. I can’t, Xander thought. I don’t even understand it myself. Spike cares…
Xander paused and looked back at Spike. There was still a swirl of emotion like a stormy sea in those pure blue eyes. …and for some reason the idiot cares about me, Xander concluded.
“Yer safe,” Spike said never taking his eyes off Xander.
“Safe and held prisoner,” Larry said indignantly.
“Sometimes being a prisoner is the safest thing ya can be,” Spike said.
“WhateverStockholm
Spike finally looked away from Xander and at Larry. He let out his own grunt.
“Wouldn’t want it to anyway, ya nit!”
Xander hid a smile. Larry’s not so bad when you’re not on his bad side, Xander thought. He turned around and faced his former classmate.
“WhenWillow
Willow
Spike growled and Xander put a hand behind his back and brushed it against Spike’s stomach. Down boy, he thought.
“Nothin’ wrong with Xander’s sense,” Spike said.
“There is if he can’t tell you’re one of the bad guys…and it’s beginning to look to me like he can’t!”
Xander rolled his eyes and held up his hand palm out. Stop! Just stop. Just let me enjoy the fact you’re alive before Spike kills you…again, OK?
“Xander…” Larry almost whined. Xander shook his head. Larry snarled as Spike smiled behind Xander.
“C’mon, pet,” Spike said. “We stay much longer and the guards will get suspicious.”
Xander nodded. Then turned and looked at Spike. He frowned. How does Lorne get by the guards with supplies and not have them get suspicious?
“Pet?” Spike asked. Xander pointed at the MRE’s and made curved his forefingers over his forehead to look like horns.
“Right. Lorne’s got another way in…be more suspicious though if I was to go slinkin’ around back hallways and service entrances then if I just walked through the club, don’t ya think?”
Xander nodded. Spike had a point.
“Now wave goodbye and lets go,” Spike said as he headed for the door. He let Xander’s leash dangle free. Xander turned to Larry who was still frowning. He waved at him.
“Harris…” Larry tried again.
Xander shook his head. I don’t know what he’s up to, but he’s saved your life Larry. He’s defied Angelus to do it. I gotta give him a little trust on this, he thought.
Xander turned and followed Spike out the door. Once outside Spike shut the door and made sure it was locked securely. Xander looked sadly at the door.
“Ya OK?” Spike asked.
Xander nodded. As OK as I’ll be leaving a friend and comrade in arms chained nude in a small cell with nothing but an electric shaver and MREs, he thought.
Spike smiled and then led them back to the swinging wall. Once again Spike studied it for a moment and then pressed a spot. It swung open and they slipped back inside the exhibit. The wall swung shut. Spike tilted his head for a moment as if listening.
He looked at Xander and then seemed almost embarrassed.
“Uhm…pet,” Spike said almost apologetically, “guards have some pretty interestin’ ideas of what we’ve been up to back here.”
Xander rolled his eyes. Of course they have, he thought and sighed. They’re demons!
“You look a little well…I think you should at least look a little mussed before we head out.”
Mussed? Xander thought and then the refrigerator light went on in his head. It did more than light up his head…it lit up memories and desires he thought he’d made sure were dead and buried. They came roaring out of their graves and poured through him with a vengeance.
“Look…I know the last few days have been difficult…and this evening’s been a bit of a shock but we can ju…”
Shut up, Xander thought as he suddenly wrapped his arms around Spike’s neck and covered his lips with his own. Spike stiffened in surprise for a moment and opened his mouth to say something. Xander pressed the advantage and slid his tongue inside searching for the whiskey smoke flavor he knew was uniquely Spike’s. He pressed his body close and ran his nails down the back of Spike’s neck.
Spike groaned and suddenly wrapped his arms around Xander. Xander smiled against the vampire’s mouth. Spike’s hands wandered up under the back of Xander’s shirt and mapped out all the warm flesh hidden under it.
Xander kissed his way down from Spike’s mouth to his neck and back up to his ear.
“Pet,” Spike groaned and then ran his hands around Xander’s side and up his chest until his thumbs covered Xander’s nipples. They hardened quickly as if by their master’s command. Xander panted as Spike teased and tormented the sensitive nubs of flesh. Xander clawed at Spike’s back and the vampire growled. He ripped Xander’s shirt down off his shoulders and his body.
Xander threw his head back in blatant invitation. Spike lapped at Xander’s throat and bit the tender flesh with human teeth. It hurt and bruised and it lit a fire of searing heat inside Xander. He wanted Spike! He wanted him more then he’d wanted air when he was in the Tank.
Spike's cool lips and torturous mouth worked their way down Xander’s neck and over his chest. He tasted and teased where his thumbs once had dominion before sliding down to mark Xander’s flat stomach.
Some instinctual basic part of Xander’s brain knew Spike was a predator and as prey he shouldn’t let him so near such a vulnerable part of his body with hungry teeth. Yet, the feel of Spike’s bruising bites forced his bound cock to grow more and more uncomfortable within his restraining belt. Xander groaned silently and slid his hands through Spike’s hair.
Spike took his time feasting and mapping out his pet’s sweet flesh before working Xander’s fly open. The musky smell of Xander’s want and need filled the air and Spike’s demon responded. He suddenly shoved Xander up against the wall. He put his hands on either side of Xander’s head and his yellow eyes bore into Xander’s. He sniffed the air around Xander and moved in until just the heat from Xander’s body separated them.
“Yer mine,” Spike’s voice rumbled. The sound of it washed through Xander and more of his musky scent filled the heated air between them.
Yes, Xander thought as he nodded taking in the sight of Spike’s fangs, yellow eyes and ridged forehead. But you're mine too!
Xander suddenly pushed back and the stunned vampire found himself against the golden sarcophagus. Xander’s hands were tearing at his shirt working and raking it up to expose bare skin and when they’d done it Xander’s hot mouth and hungry teeth were marking Spike’s flesh. Spike leaned back against the sarcophagus and let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a howl. He stretched his arms wide and offered himself up to his pet.
MY master vampire, Xander thought as he hungrily tasted Spike’s cool flesh. MY Master Spike!
Xander slid to his knees. The smell of Spike filled his senses and he needed more. He fumbled with the buttons on Spike’s fly and silently cursed in frustration. It took an eternity of moments for Xander to work the pants open but when he did he breathed in deep the raw powerful scent of Spike.
He looked up at the vampire with hungry eyes. Spike stared back down at him and with a feral smile Xander jerked Spike’s pants down freeing the vampire’s thick, heavy and erect cock.
Some part of Spike struggled for sense. Xander didn’t have to do this. He put a hand on Xander’s shoulder. Xander shook his head and let his hot angry need carry him forward. With tentative and inexperienced lips he tasted Spike. Spike groaned. Xander smiled and wrapped a hand around Spike shaft.
He wasn’t sure exactly what he was doing, but he wanted this. He needed this and he was going to have it! Xander began to work Spike’s shaft the way he had in that shower where Spike had helped him rediscover the pleasure of his own body. He wrapped his mouth around the head of Spike’s cock and began to chase the salty and smoky flavor with his tongue.
In his undead life Spike had many men and women. He’d had virgins and he’d had whores. His body had been played like an instrument by Dru and driven like a race car by Angelus. Yet, never had he felt as hard and out of control as Xander’s naïve blowjob was making him.
Xander’s hand was too rough on the delicate skin of his dick without some sort of lubrication. His mouth was too tentative and light at the crown and yet Spike was panting, growling and fighting to keep from thrusting his cock deep down Xander’s hot throat.
The heady taste of Spike’s precum filled Xander’s mouth and his tongue lapped at Spike’s slit for more. He worked his hand down Spike’s dick and with each growl and sound of desire he worked from the vampire Xander felt hungrier and more powerful then he had ever known.
He let his teeth graze slightly behind the ridge left behind by the absence of foreskin. Spike growled and his hips thrust forward. Spike’s cock filled Xander’s mouth and he struggled not to choke. He wrapped his lips tight around the hard flesh and sucked deep the flavor and taste.
Spike pounded his fist into the fake gold underneath him. Desire sizzled at the base of his spine.
“Xander!” he tried to warn. His pet only tried to take him deeper. Spike leaned back his head and howled as his release tore through him.
Cool musty seed tasting of Spike pumped into Xander’s mouth. He tried to swallow it around Spike’s cock and coughed and sputtered. He pulled his mouth back till only his lips were trying to catch Spike’s release. It sputtered out and dripped down Xander's chin.
“Xander,” Spike softly cried as his hands buried themselves in Xander’s hair. Xander kissed and lapped softly as Spike’s softening cock.
Hands tugged him gently to his feet. Blue eyes stared into brown and then Spike was kissing him. His mouth was gentle and sweet; the counter balance to Xander’s rough and angry passion.
His tongue chased his own flavors in the hot cavern of Xander’s mouth before he kissed his way tenderly down Xander’s chin. He licked and cleaned his own spunk from Xander’s hot skin. He discovered he could get drunk on the taste of himself on Xander’s flesh.
Spike! Xander thought as desire tapered a bit even as his body screamed for its own release. His cock trapped uncomfortably within his belt.
Eventually Spike’s kisses slowed and then stopped. He pulled back to stare once again into Xander’s eyes.
“Gonna take you home. Gonna taste and tease ya until your nothin’ but raw desire and then I’m gonna make you cum, Xander. Gonna make you cum so hard and so good you’ll never cum for anyone else,” Spike said.
YES! Xander whole body screamed and he thought his dick was going to break the belt trying to swell to its full desire. He grasped Spike’s shoulders and nodded.
TBC…
Author’s Notes:
Lorne can emit high-pitched shrieks painful to human beings.
I decided William’s mum had him circumcised. About the time in the Victorian Era when William was born there was a great fear that masturbation was harmful to men and there was a small but growing belief that circumcision could curtail a man’s desire to masturbate.
MRE stand for “Meal, Ready to Eat.” It’s essentially field rations. The current (American) MRE contains a flameless ration heater which can be used to create a small explosive device akin to a dry ice bomb. The soldiers in the field have come up with many colorful alternative meanings for MRE including “Meals Refusing to Exit.”

Xander nodded. I saw you go off the roof! Xander thought and then another thought slammed through him. I thought I saw you go off the roof.

“Xan,” Spike said softly.
Who! Who went off the roof? Xander thought and pointed at Spike. Then made a tossing motion with his arms.
“Lorne found him,” Spike explained.
“Found who?” asked Larry.
“It was someone who…not everyone has a red stable like mine, pet,” Spike said. “He’d been in the arenas a long time, pet. Lorne made sure he went out peacefully.

“Huh,” Larry said. “You almost seem protective of him.”
Xander pushed his way between Spike and Larry. He looked at Larry and thought, Don’t push it you idiot!
“I protect what’s mine,” Spike growled.
Larry looked at Xander.
“Is that right, Harris? You his?” Larry asked.
Xander flushed. He didn’t know what to think anymore. He looked at Spike and he looked at a living breathing Larry who didn’t have clue one what Spike had risked with faking his death.

“Gonna answer him, pet?” Spike asked softly.
Xander looked at Spike. He was back in his devastatingly handsome human face. Xander searched the vampire’s blue eyes and saw only Spike. He felt the pull he’d felt after
For now, he thought, for now I’m still yours and will play your game.
“Harris!” Larry yelled in shock at the confirmation of his worst suspicions.
“Pet,” Spike whispered in surprise.
But don’t you ever pull some thing like this again! Xander thought as he balled up his fist and pummeled it as hard as he could into Spike’s jaw. Spike staggered back and rubbed his chin. Don’t ever put me through that again or so help me Lorne will be picking you up with a Dustbuster!

“Lilah? Who’s Lilah?” Larry whispered. “And what’s Angelus got to do with anything?”
And you don’t think I could have ‘sold it’ if I knew the truth? Xander thought as he angrily marched on Spike.

So you just let me suffer! Think Larry was dead! Let me believe you were a mo…Xander balled his fist again.
“Pet,” Spike warned and took a step back. “You throw another punch and so help me yer not gonna like yer punishment.”
“Harris have you gone completely mental?” Larry asked.
Might be worth it Master Meathead! Xander thought and closed the distance on Spike. Blue eyes warred with brown eyes.
“Pet…” Spike said.
Apologize! Xander thought angrily! You didn’t just hurt me Spike…you betrayed me!
“Xander…”
Xander shook his head at the vampire and kept his angry and determined glare on Spike.
“There wasn’t any other way,” he said softly and then relented, “I’m…sorry.”
Xander narrowed his eyes and studied Spike. Regret was clearly seen shimmering in those eyes and something that had been wound tight and painful in Xander’s chest for days began to unravel. He nodded slightly.
“Will someone tell me what’s going on?” Larry asked clearly confused.
Xander looked back at Larry and shook his head. I can’t, Xander thought. I don’t even understand it myself. Spike cares…
Xander paused and looked back at Spike. There was still a swirl of emotion like a stormy sea in those pure blue eyes. …and for some reason the idiot cares about me, Xander concluded.
“Yer safe,” Spike said never taking his eyes off Xander.
“Safe and held prisoner,” Larry said indignantly.
“Sometimes being a prisoner is the safest thing ya can be,” Spike said.
“Whatever
Spike finally looked away from Xander and at Larry. He let out his own grunt.
“Wouldn’t want it to anyway, ya nit!”
Xander hid a smile. Larry’s not so bad when you’re not on his bad side, Xander thought. He turned around and faced his former classmate.
“When
Spike growled and Xander put a hand behind his back and brushed it against Spike’s stomach. Down boy, he thought.
“Nothin’ wrong with Xander’s sense,” Spike said.
“There is if he can’t tell you’re one of the bad guys…and it’s beginning to look to me like he can’t!”
Xander rolled his eyes and held up his hand palm out. Stop! Just stop. Just let me enjoy the fact you’re alive before Spike kills you…again, OK?
“Xander…” Larry almost whined. Xander shook his head. Larry snarled as Spike smiled behind Xander.
“C’mon, pet,” Spike said. “We stay much longer and the guards will get suspicious.”

“Right. Lorne’s got another way in…be more suspicious though if I was to go slinkin’ around back hallways and service entrances then if I just walked through the club, don’t ya think?”
Xander nodded. Spike had a point.
“Now wave goodbye and lets go,” Spike said as he headed for the door. He let Xander’s leash dangle free. Xander turned to Larry who was still frowning. He waved at him.
“Harris…” Larry tried again.
Xander shook his head. I don’t know what he’s up to, but he’s saved your life Larry. He’s defied Angelus to do it. I gotta give him a little trust on this, he thought.
Xander turned and followed Spike out the door. Once outside Spike shut the door and made sure it was locked securely. Xander looked sadly at the door.
“Ya OK?” Spike asked.
Xander nodded. As OK as I’ll be leaving a friend and comrade in arms chained nude in a small cell with nothing but an electric shaver and MREs, he thought.
Spike smiled and then led them back to the swinging wall. Once again Spike studied it for a moment and then pressed a spot. It swung open and they slipped back inside the exhibit. The wall swung shut. Spike tilted his head for a moment as if listening.
He looked at Xander and then seemed almost embarrassed.
“Uhm…pet,” Spike said almost apologetically, “guards have some pretty interestin’ ideas of what we’ve been up to back here.”
Xander rolled his eyes. Of course they have, he thought and sighed. They’re demons!
“You look a little well…I think you should at least look a little mussed before we head out.”
Mussed? Xander thought and then the refrigerator light went on in his head. It did more than light up his head…it lit up memories and desires he thought he’d made sure were dead and buried. They came roaring out of their graves and poured through him with a vengeance.
“Look…I know the last few days have been difficult…and this evening’s been a bit of a shock but we can ju…”
Shut up, Xander thought as he suddenly wrapped his arms around Spike’s neck and covered his lips with his own. Spike stiffened in surprise for a moment and opened his mouth to say something. Xander pressed the advantage and slid his tongue inside searching for the whiskey smoke flavor he knew was uniquely Spike’s. He pressed his body close and ran his nails down the back of Spike’s neck.
Spike groaned and suddenly wrapped his arms around Xander. Xander smiled against the vampire’s mouth. Spike’s hands wandered up under the back of Xander’s shirt and mapped out all the warm flesh hidden under it.
Xander kissed his way down from Spike’s mouth to his neck and back up to his ear.
“Pet,” Spike groaned and then ran his hands around Xander’s side and up his chest until his thumbs covered Xander’s nipples. They hardened quickly as if by their master’s command. Xander panted as Spike teased and tormented the sensitive nubs of flesh. Xander clawed at Spike’s back and the vampire growled. He ripped Xander’s shirt down off his shoulders and his body.
Xander threw his head back in blatant invitation. Spike lapped at Xander’s throat and bit the tender flesh with human teeth. It hurt and bruised and it lit a fire of searing heat inside Xander. He wanted Spike! He wanted him more then he’d wanted air when he was in the Tank.
Spike's cool lips and torturous mouth worked their way down Xander’s neck and over his chest. He tasted and teased where his thumbs once had dominion before sliding down to mark Xander’s flat stomach.
Some instinctual basic part of Xander’s brain knew Spike was a predator and as prey he shouldn’t let him so near such a vulnerable part of his body with hungry teeth. Yet, the feel of Spike’s bruising bites forced his bound cock to grow more and more uncomfortable within his restraining belt. Xander groaned silently and slid his hands through Spike’s hair.
Spike took his time feasting and mapping out his pet’s sweet flesh before working Xander’s fly open. The musky smell of Xander’s want and need filled the air and Spike’s demon responded. He suddenly shoved Xander up against the wall. He put his hands on either side of Xander’s head and his yellow eyes bore into Xander’s. He sniffed the air around Xander and moved in until just the heat from Xander’s body separated them.
“Yer mine,” Spike’s voice rumbled. The sound of it washed through Xander and more of his musky scent filled the heated air between them.
Yes, Xander thought as he nodded taking in the sight of Spike’s fangs, yellow eyes and ridged forehead. But you're mine too!
Xander suddenly pushed back and the stunned vampire found himself against the golden sarcophagus. Xander’s hands were tearing at his shirt working and raking it up to expose bare skin and when they’d done it Xander’s hot mouth and hungry teeth were marking Spike’s flesh. Spike leaned back against the sarcophagus and let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a howl. He stretched his arms wide and offered himself up to his pet.
MY master vampire, Xander thought as he hungrily tasted Spike’s cool flesh. MY Master Spike!
Xander slid to his knees. The smell of Spike filled his senses and he needed more. He fumbled with the buttons on Spike’s fly and silently cursed in frustration. It took an eternity of moments for Xander to work the pants open but when he did he breathed in deep the raw powerful scent of Spike.
He looked up at the vampire with hungry eyes. Spike stared back down at him and with a feral smile Xander jerked Spike’s pants down freeing the vampire’s thick, heavy and erect cock.
Some part of Spike struggled for sense. Xander didn’t have to do this. He put a hand on Xander’s shoulder. Xander shook his head and let his hot angry need carry him forward. With tentative and inexperienced lips he tasted Spike. Spike groaned. Xander smiled and wrapped a hand around Spike shaft.
He wasn’t sure exactly what he was doing, but he wanted this. He needed this and he was going to have it! Xander began to work Spike’s shaft the way he had in that shower where Spike had helped him rediscover the pleasure of his own body. He wrapped his mouth around the head of Spike’s cock and began to chase the salty and smoky flavor with his tongue.
In his undead life Spike had many men and women. He’d had virgins and he’d had whores. His body had been played like an instrument by Dru and driven like a race car by Angelus. Yet, never had he felt as hard and out of control as Xander’s naïve blowjob was making him.
Xander’s hand was too rough on the delicate skin of his dick without some sort of lubrication. His mouth was too tentative and light at the crown and yet Spike was panting, growling and fighting to keep from thrusting his cock deep down Xander’s hot throat.
The heady taste of Spike’s precum filled Xander’s mouth and his tongue lapped at Spike’s slit for more. He worked his hand down Spike’s dick and with each growl and sound of desire he worked from the vampire Xander felt hungrier and more powerful then he had ever known.
He let his teeth graze slightly behind the ridge left behind by the absence of foreskin. Spike growled and his hips thrust forward. Spike’s cock filled Xander’s mouth and he struggled not to choke. He wrapped his lips tight around the hard flesh and sucked deep the flavor and taste.
Spike pounded his fist into the fake gold underneath him. Desire sizzled at the base of his spine.
“Xander!” he tried to warn. His pet only tried to take him deeper. Spike leaned back his head and howled as his release tore through him.
Cool musty seed tasting of Spike pumped into Xander’s mouth. He tried to swallow it around Spike’s cock and coughed and sputtered. He pulled his mouth back till only his lips were trying to catch Spike’s release. It sputtered out and dripped down Xander's chin.
“Xander,” Spike softly cried as his hands buried themselves in Xander’s hair. Xander kissed and lapped softly as Spike’s softening cock.
Hands tugged him gently to his feet. Blue eyes stared into brown and then Spike was kissing him. His mouth was gentle and sweet; the counter balance to Xander’s rough and angry passion.
His tongue chased his own flavors in the hot cavern of Xander’s mouth before he kissed his way tenderly down Xander’s chin. He licked and cleaned his own spunk from Xander’s hot skin. He discovered he could get drunk on the taste of himself on Xander’s flesh.
Spike! Xander thought as desire tapered a bit even as his body screamed for its own release. His cock trapped uncomfortably within his belt.
Eventually Spike’s kisses slowed and then stopped. He pulled back to stare once again into Xander’s eyes.
“Gonna take you home. Gonna taste and tease ya until your nothin’ but raw desire and then I’m gonna make you cum, Xander. Gonna make you cum so hard and so good you’ll never cum for anyone else,” Spike said.
YES! Xander whole body screamed and he thought his dick was going to break the belt trying to swell to its full desire. He grasped Spike’s shoulders and nodded.
TBC…
Author’s Notes:
Lorne can emit high-pitched shrieks painful to human beings.
I decided William’s mum had him circumcised. About the time in the Victorian Era when William was born there was a great fear that masturbation was harmful to men and there was a small but growing belief that circumcision could curtail a man’s desire to masturbate.
MRE stand for “Meal, Ready to Eat.” It’s essentially field rations. The current (American) MRE contains a flameless ration heater which can be used to create a small explosive device akin to a dry ice bomb. The soldiers in the field have come up with many colorful alternative meanings for MRE including “Meals Refusing to Exit.”

Date: 2007-10-04 05:03 am (UTC)Gotta love it when the boys are on the same page - loving that feeling of equality that they have as they step to the same page too. Not just seeing clearly, but actually getting it on a deeper level. Sweet.
And yes we are getting spoiled, horribly so - but I gotta admit I don't mind in the least *big grin*

And finally - oh, yes, very very spoiled. Spoil us some more, please?

And then wow with the hot! Just hot! I can't wait till they get it on in the bedroom. Now why do I think something bad is going to happen on the way there. Hmm?

Date: 2007-10-04 11:02 am (UTC)You're right about William being circ'ed. Given the era he was born in and the clues that he was middle to upper-middle class, it would make the most sense if he was. If he would have been born lower class and his family rose in status during his lifetime he might not have been.
Thanks for sharing!

Date: 2007-10-04 01:27 pm (UTC)Good to see the boys playing together nicely, but for some reason I think I can see something happening between there and there room to curtail further fun-body-exploration.

Thanks for a great addition!

Date: 2007-10-04 02:55 pm (UTC)This chapter was certainly a breakthrough in Spike and Xander's relationship. I'm just worried that there might be another "interruptus" on the way back to Spike's suite. And like someone else wrote I love that silent, almost telepathic, communication between the two of them leaving Larry outside to his bewilderment.
Larry is where Xander was in chapter one seeing everything in black and white - now Xander knows that there is a grey area and he and Spike are in it. I'm also worried if Angelus finds out about Larry - that would really be a humongous catastrophe.
As always looking forward to more.

PS Some tiny errors:
He looked at Larry and thought, Don’t push it your idiot! you idiot
Xander searched the vampire’s blue eyes and saw only, Spike. no need for a comma there though there are a few other places where commas would be good.
But your mine too! you're mine
