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.

Ok....so sorry for the LOOONG absence. I tried to work out a new schedule involving me going to the Y and that somehow threw me way off. But...too make up for it here's a nice LOOONG chapter. And for you wincest fans here are two great vids. They are done to the same song, Nickleback's "Next Contestant"
One is Sam's POV . The other Dean's POV.
Previous parts here.
***********************
“Look,” Spike said, “go ahead and plan for the worst. Come up with a contingency plan…but the game is still on. Tomorrow night Vr’kxl is going to lose more than he bargained for and Zorn gets crossed off my ta do list.”
“Spike…”
“It’s not open for debate, green bean” Spike said as he looked at Xander. Vr’kxl hurt what’s mine. He’s going to lose and he’s going to lose BIG.
********************************************************************************
Spike had been true to his word and kept Xander close to him all evening. Even though Spike had continued to be obsessed with his deck of cards he had taken a lunch break where he’d alternately teased Xander with kisses and food. He’d wound Xander up so much his pet didn’t know of which he wanted more. When he’d indicated his confusion Spike had only smiled evilly and promised both later. Xander had silently promised revenge.
The master vampire had tried to provide Xander with something to relieve his boredom while he practiced. He’d given Xander a choice of deck of cards of his own or a coloring book and crayons.
A coloring book? Xander thought and stared at the vampire torn between being amused and insulted.
“Doesn’t require any readin’,” Spike said slightly chagrined.
Xander silently chuckled and had chosen the book and crayons. Sure? Why not? He’d thought. First Candy Land and now coloring books, who says you have to grow up?
Xander spent the remaining part of the evening coloring plants and animals until near dinner time. One page gave him pause and caused him to grin evilly. It depicted a cute little kitten.
Vengeance! Xander silently crowed as he looked up from the floor to the desk where his master vampire was deeply engrossed in his mock game.
Revenge is at hand oh Master Agitator, Xander thought as he began to color grey stripes on the picture of the cute kitten in his coloring book. Then he drew in a small stick figure between the kitten’s paws. He colored bright yellow hair on top of the stick figure and gave it an obvious set of fangs. Next he drew yellow eyes wide in mock terror of the giant cute kitten. Xander smiled at his masterpiece. When it was done he stood up and sauntered to Spike’s desk.
“Pet?” Spike asked as he looked up from his cards and arched an eyebrow.
Xander held out the page to Spike and waggled his eyebrows. Spike narrowed his eyes suspiciously and took the page. He turned it over and studied it for a moment. Then in a blur of motion he was suddenly launching himself over the desk and at Xander.
“PET!” Spike growled.
Xander stumbled backwards as Spike pounced and they tumbled to the floor. Somehow Spike had managed to keep Xander from being hurt in the fall while still managing to pin Xander beneath him.
“Think that’s funny do you?” Spike growled again.
Xander stared up into the Spike’s eyes glowing gold with amusement and nodded.
“I think that just earned you a punishment,” Spike said in a low husky voice that caused Xander’s cock to twitch painfully in its belt.
Promise? He thought just before Spike swooped down and claimed Xander’s mouth in a kiss that left no doubt who was in charge. Oh yeah, the Master of Las Vegas had it bad for his Pet.
***
Xander woke the next afternoon to tender kisses peppering his nose. He smiled and opened his eyes.
“ ‘Bout time sleepyhead,” Spike muttered.
Your fault! Xander thought and then blushed as he remembered what had worn him out. He’d never look a melted chocolate the same way again. He couldn’t help but sniff Spike for any lingering residue.
“Ya got it all last night,” Spike said. “If ya hadn’t ya’d still be waiting fer release.”
Xander groaned silently. His cock twitched at the memory of how long it had been denied its fun and then how good it felt when fun had finally come.
“Oi! No time for that now!” Spike said.
What? Xander thought and blinked innocently at Spike.
“I’ve created a monster!” Spike chuckled.
I’ve a lot of opportunities for a misspent youth to make up for, Xander thought defensively.
Spike shook his head and tapped Xander’s nose. “UP!” he ordered.
Xander sighed and rolled out of bed. Spike followed and then took him by the hand. He led them into the bathroom where they showered. It was a long leisurely shower where Spike took his time soaping and cleaning Xander. It was sensual but not seductive. Xander couldn’t help but sigh and relax.
“I’m spoilin’ ya rotten,” Spike murmured from behind and next to Xander’s ear.
And that’s a problem why? Xander thought.
“You know what tonight is, right?”
Xander nodded. Tonight was the game.
Spike turned Xander to face him.
“You worried?”
Beyond worried, Xander thought. Was thinking I was more in the neighborhood of petrified.
“Pet,” Spike said softly and touched Xander’s face, “I’m not going to lose you.”
Xander nodded. He wanted to believe it. He tried to believe it. He only had enough faith to know Spike believed it.
“But if…” Spike paused for a moment as if the words were painful to think let alone say. “…if something should happen. If things don’t go as planned…ya know I’ll come for you. Yer mine, Xander. I won’t let you go.”
Xander stared into Spike’s blue eyes. He reached up a hand and placed it over the scar on his neck. He remembered the pain and ecstasy of Spike feeding from him. He felt the water sluicing over his body. He breathed in deep the scent of their bodies close together and remembered the feel of Spike’s hands and mouth on his most secret places.
Whatever happened Spike had marked Xander in the flesh. He’d undone him and remade him. He was Spike’s. Xander nodded.
It’s what I’ll be holding on to, he thought.
Spike wrapped his arms around Xander and pulled him close. They kissed tenderly and finished their shower.
***
In a scene eerily familiar to his first night with Spike there was a crowd of people waiting in the main suite when they excited from the bedroom. Xander looked at Spike.
“Pullin’ out all the stops, Pet,” Spike said as he stripped Xander’s towel out of his hands and away from his body. “Gonna drive up the value. He wants to play for you? I’m gonna make it hurt.”
And so that’s why I’m getting the Rocky Horror vibe here? Xander thought.
“Let’s move it people!” Spike barked and an arched an eye brow. Xander rolled his eyes and stood still.
The orange demon from Xander’s first night rushed forward. It snapped it’s scaly fingers and human assistance positioned themselves around Xander. The demon looked at Spike.
“With your permission ssire,” it hissed.
Spike growled but nodded. Xander felt hands on his arms and legs. He allowed his body to be moved and positioned so his arms were straight out away from his body and his legs were wide apart. Then he fought to hold still as the assistants began to brush a golden dust all over his body.
That tickles! Xander thought and squirmed as the slaves brushed the golden powder under his arms.
“Hold still, Pet!” Spike shouted. Xander glared at Spike and held still. Like to see you hold still through this, blondie! Xander thought and then blushed when he realized the slaves carefully picked up his cock and began to powder it.
Spike snarled and the slave holding Xander’s dick trembled but continued to paint Xander’s skin with the dust. Another slave began to dust Xander’s face. He breathed in the dust to his mouth. It was sweet, like honey. He shot another look at Spike who was in full vampire mode glaring at all those who still touched him.
Hey! Your idea, buddy! Xander thought.
“Enough!” Spike finally shouted. The slaves immediately bowed and backed away from Xander. Spike moved forward and stared at Xander for a moment.
What? Xander thought then Spike snapped his fingers. One of the slaves handed Spike a pair of black leather pants. Spike helped Xander into those as well.
Xander grunted as Spike fastened the pants. Wouldn’t it have just been easier to paint them on? Xander thought realizing these were tighter than any pair of pants he’d worn yet. No need for the belt tonight! Pants are snug enough!
When the pants were fastened Spike slid behind Xander and ran his hands possessively over his pet’s ass and down his legs.
You know I don’t think there’s anyone here who doesn’t get it, Xander thought. I’m yours.
Then Spike’s nimble fingers began moved over to Xander chest. They began to work the nipple ring. Xander groaned silently as his sensitive nub of flesh hardened and his bound cock twitched. Then to Xander’s surprise Spike unclasped the ring. He worked the sapphire off.
A slave rushed forward with a little box. On it was a ruby bead and matching ruby earring.
Time for an upgrade, Xander thought as Spike replaced the sapphire on his nipple ring with the ruby and then exchanged the earrings.
Spike stepped back away from Xander then walked around him. He examined him from all sides then picked up a red silk shirt a slave was holding. He slipped it on to his pet then examined him again. He picked up a dust brush and dusted Xander’s left nipple again covering up the smudges left when he changed the stone.
“We’ll save the makeup for after breakfast,” Spike finally declared.
Makeup, Master Frankenfurter? Xander thought.
***
Rocky Horror was right, Xander thought as he followed Spike into the casino. He’d caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and he wished he’d hadn’t. His pants were obscenely tight. His hair was styled to look perfectly rumpled as if fingers had been busy running through it while his mouth had been busy doing something else.
Let’s not even think about the mouth! Xander thought as he remembered the sheen of lip gloss coating his lips making them look wet, plump and shiny. Their shine competed with the glitter in the gold dust coating every inch of his skin. The worst though was his eyes.
Xander closed his eyes. His lids felt heavy to him. He’d never worn mascara before tonight. He opened his eyes and kept in step with Spike. Not only was he wearing mascara but he was wearing eyeliner. Xander’s eyes were not to be missed. They looked impossibly wide, dark and yet somehow innocent. They were as striking as the rubies flashing on his skin in the bright casino lights.
Xander sighed. He hadn’t dared fight or protest the makeup. Spike had been in “Master Spike” mode from the moment he’d whipped Xander’s towel off in front the orange demon and his slaves. Xander sighed again and Spike turned his head to look at Xander. He narrowed his eyes. Xander flushed and focused back on what was going on and not his looks.
The crowd in the casino was as large as Xander had ever seen it, but it parted quickly and easily as Spike strode through. Xander followed closely behind. Eventually Spike led Xander to a table setup on a slight stage. Lorne was already there waiting for them. Spike slid into a chair by Lorne and pointed to the pillow by his feet. Xander dropped to his knees.
“They here yet?” Spike asked Lorne.
“Momentarily,” Lorne answered anxiously.
“Sumthin’ yer not tellin’ me?” Spike asked.
“Seems they brought back a visitor from Pylea,” Lorne sighed. Spike arched an eyebrow. “My brother…Numfar.”
Spike nodded then said, “How do ya feel about fratricide?”
“Spike!” Lorne shouted.
“Wot?”
“I don’t think I have to do anything so…extreme,” Lorne said.
“Lorne I’m no…”
“Let me handle Numfar,” Lorne said. “Really, he’s a deck shy of an ace or two. I can handle him.”
Spike studied the green demon for a moment then nodded.
“Anything else I should know about?”
“Can’t think of anything.”
“Everything’s ready then?” Spike asked referring not just to the game but to Tara.
“Yes,” Lorne said.
Spike looked around. The crowd was gathering close to the stage. Spike’s handpicked minions were keeping them bagged. Those who pushed it or didn’t get the message quickly found themselves on the wrong end of a battleaxe. Spike smiled. Angry vampires wielding battleaxes were very intimidating.
A new murmur went through the crowd. Heads, tentacles, antennae and other various body parts turned towards the entrance. Vr’xkl and his entourage were making their way to the casino.
“Show time,” Lorne whispered.
***
Xander paled when he saw the Azora demon. Unwanted and unbidden memories threatened to overwhelm him. He grew pale under the gold glitter dust on his skin. His eyes stood out even starker. Spike’s hand fleetingly caressed the scar on Xander’s neck before the vampire stood.
“Vr’xkl,” Spike greeted the other demon. “I’m glad you could make it.”
The Azora demon gurgled something in reply. Spike laughed hollowly. Then he looked at the strange new demon with Vr’xkl.
“Yer new, mate,” Spike said. “I make a point to know who comes into my town…and I don’t know you.”
“Lord Spike,” Lorne quickly said, “May I introduce you to my brother, Numfar.”
“Ya think being Lorne’s brother means ya can come and go in my town without so much as a ‘how do ya do?’” Spike snarled and the large Pylean backed up.
“M..my Lord Spike,” Zorn said as Vr’xkl gurgled, “no slight was meant. Numfar has just recently arrived and Vr’xkl wished it to be a surprise for your assistant Lorne.”
“A reunion then!” Spike said almost too cheerily. Numfar nodded eagerly. “Well, I wouldn’t want you to waste it here!”
“Master Spike?” Lorne asked.
“How long has it been since you’ve seen your brother?” Spike asked.
“Years…”
“Well than I insist you go and have a few drinks! Take in a show! Have some fun!”
“But my Lo…” Zorn started to say.
“I really do insist,” Spike growled. Numfar swallowed and Lorne shot Spike a worried look before nodding. Xander stared at Spike. “But first let’s get the mojo out of the way.”
Lorne nodded.
“Ig vr mrn str,” Vr’xkl clicked.
Spike clapped his hands. Robed figures stepped forth out of the crowd. They formed a circle around the stage. Xander looked at Lorne. Lorne smiled reassuringly at Xander. Tara would start her spell the moment she felt the magic being cast by the ritual.
The robed figures began to chant and an acrid smell suddenly filled the room. An eerie blue light sparked and over for several moments before suddenly showering over the beings at the table. Even though Xander wasn’t a wizard or a witch he could feel the magic in the air and he shivered.
The chanting stopped and the robed figures withdrew. Xander hoped it had been enough time for Tara to do her spell.
“Right then,” Spike growled and shook himself. "No magics at the table."
“Brother,” Lorne said as he made a sweeping ‘let’s go motion’ with his hand. Numfar bowed quickly to Spike and then left the stage. Lorne followed and soon the two demons disappeared in the crowd.
Vr’xkl was gurgling and squeaking loudly. Zorn flushed a muddy grey.
“Wot? Ya don’t want ta play now?” Spike said and then tapped his leg. Xander somehow managed to find the strength to stand. He kept his eyes on Spike and tried to forget the Azora was there. Spike’s hand reached out and pulled Xander snuggly to the vampire. Spike nuzzled Xander’s neck. Chills of desire blended with chills of fear and Xander trembled. Another murmur made its way through the crowd.
“Ni Va!” Vr’xkl warbled. Spike chuckled against Xander’s skin.
“Only if ya win ‘im back,” Spike said as he slid a hand down Xander’s stomach and played with the top button on Xander’s fly. “And who says I’m gonna offer him up?”
Vr’xkl gurgled something else and sat down. Zorn took up a sit behind him. Spike laughed and pointed back down to the pillow. Xander dropped gratefully to his knees. He kept his eyes locked on the floor and concentrated on keeping the bile at the back of his throat from going any higher.
Spike…I can’t…please…don’t lose me, Xander desperately thought as the vampire snapped his fingers. A minion wearing the uniform of another casino stepped out of the crowd and onto the stage.
“Acceptable as dealer?” Spike asked. Vr’xkl gurgled.
“If I can examine the deck,” Zorn replied.
Spike nodded. The dealer drew out an unopened deck of cards. Zorn watched him tear off the cellophane making sure that the seal was unbroken. The minion handed the deck to Zorn who examined the deck briefly before handing it back. The minion did the same for Spike. Spike examined the deck and handed it back to the dealer. The dealer then cleared the debris from the table and handed it to a slave who took it away.
Another slave moved forward and knelt.
“Anything to drink before we get started?” Spike asked.
Vr’xkl gurgled something and the crowded parted. Xander began to tremble again as he saw one of the blue demons from the vault lead a pale naked man to the table.
“Vr’xkl has brought his own bottle, Master Spike,” Zorn said as the man took up position behind the Azora. Xander didn’t want to look at the man’s face but he couldn’t help it. He didn’t recognize him, but he recognized the look. His eyes were vacant and unfocused. He didn’t seem to react at all as one of Vr’xkl’s tentacles coiled around his cock and began to writhe.
Spike tapped his leg. On autopilot Xander crawled up into Spike’s lap. He buried his face in Spike’s neck.
“Don’t mind at all,” Spike sneered then waved the kneeling slave away.
