Title: Bite Your Tongue Author: Pattyanne snapkik@yahoo.com Disclaimer: The characters don't belong to me. Feedback: Love some, thanks. To: Wajoma...for the delicious inspiration from her "tongue" folder. & Jo...for starting the whole thing in the first place! ************************************************ She found her child's father in the living room. He was sitting on the sofa, looking absolutely wretched. The expression on his face brought back memories of Katie's visits to her pediatrician. Every time the baby had to have an inoculation she would scream as though the nurse was amputating her arm without benefit of anesthesia. Spike would hold her on his lap, and turn even paler than he already was. Buffy had even had to nudge him hard one time when she'd heard the ominous growl he'd directed at the nurse who was, after all, just doing her job. When the needle was withdrawn and the band-aid applied, he would take Katie out of the exam room immediately, leaving Buffy to gather up their things and listen to the doctor's instructions. Once he'd soothed her, he would spend the rest of the afternoon carrying her everywhere they went, in- dulging her every whim, and spoiling her rotten. Buffy had actually suggested once that he stay home when the baby needed her shots, but he had looked at her as though she'd uttered the most ridiculous and laughable commentary he'd ever heard, and she'd dropped the subject. All Katie's life, Spike had always been the one to respond to her first. Every time she cried, he abandoned whatever he was doing and picked her up. Her diapers barely had a chance to get wet before he had the old one off and the fresh one in place. He couldn't stand to hear her cry for any reason, and there was nothing he wouldn't do to make her happy. **************************************************** Buffy sat down next to him on the sofa. "You okay?" Spike didn't answer the question. He looked at her and said, "She's just a baby," he said quietly. "I know," she replied, searching for the right thing to say. "But she'll be starting kindergarten in September, and she has to learn how to handle things without resorting to...violence." He frowned. "I s'pose you think that's MY fault." Buffy made an exasperated face. "Yes, Spike. That's exactly what I think. You've been going into her room and whispering subliminal messages in her ear while she sleeps." Sitting back on the sofa, Spike folded his arms across his chest, the scowl deepening on his face. "He could've just given her the piece she wanted," he grumbled. "Saved all the trouble in the first place, the bloody stupid little...." His voice trailed off when he caught Buffy's eye. "What?" Buffy honestly didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. Spike was such a creature of impulse. He usually spoke without thinking first and always said exactly what he felt. He never sugarcoated any- thing....except with the baby. "Listen," she finally said, taking his hand. "This isn't the end of the world. Alex is all right, and Katie wasn't hurt, so..." "Wasn't hurt?" he demanded loudly. "What the hell do you mean....she wasn't hurt? That....that BOY just had his hair yanked. Katie was BLEEDING for god's sake." "Ow!" Buffy tugged her hand away when his fingers clamped down. "I meant...I MEAN...she just bit her tongue a little. You couldn't even really see it." Spike looked at her as though she'd begun speaking Mandarin Chinese. "You could so see it!" he insisted vehemently. "Did you even LOOK properly?" "I looked!" she replied. "It was a teeny little swelling." "Maybe you should have your eyes checked," he informed her. "It was a wound....and it could have been worse. And," he added. "It was very painful for her. Tongues are sensitive, you know." Buffy could see him preparing to get all worked up again. His dark blue eyes blazed with renewed anger in a way she hadn't seen in a long time...a way that aroused her own emotions in a very different manner. Maybe....she could refocus some of the energy he was channeling into a more pleasurable direction. "Tongues are sensitive," she agreed. "Maybe I missed something when I looked. Why don't you," she smiled and moved a little closer, "show me where the boo-boo was." "It was on her...her..." He turned and looked at Buffy, then did a double take, sensing....something, "The side of...of..." "Show me," she murmured, cupping his jaw in her hand. "Open wide." Spike raised his eyebrows, then looked his wife right in the eye and obediently opened his mouth. The tip of his tongue pressed against the back of his upper front teeth for a moment, then crept out and touched the middle of his upper lip. Buffy felt an immediate rush of heat in her loins at this display. Her husband was, in her opinion, the sexiest and handsomest man walking the earth. His physical beauty was apparent to anyone lucky enough to see it, but his sexuality was saved only for her. She found every part of his body wildly attractive, and his tongue was no exception. In fact, his tongue was the rule... Plump, and pink, and juicy...and did he know just what to do with it. That tongue of his drove her to insane levels of lust and ever increasing heights of satisfaction when he used it on her. He lifted it so she could see underneath, then moved it to one side. "It wath white ere" he mumbled, grinning idiotically. "Hmmm," she said, tilting her head to one side. "Here?" She placed her finger in the middle of his tongue and kind of nudged it over. Spike immediately closed his lips around her probing finger, sucking it gently. "Mm-hmm." Inspired, Buffy began to slide her finger in and out of his mouth, simulating the kind of motion he normally performed in hers with his dick. His eyes rolled slightly before he let them drift closed and sucked harder on her finger. She could feel the cool moisture of his tongue as it swirled around the very tip of her finger. When she pulled it out of his mouth, his tongue followed and he licked the palm of her hand from her wrist to the tip of her middle finger. When he was finished, he opened his eyes and smiled. "Have you ever had a tongue bath?" he asked her, using that low down, sexy voice that always made her quiver. "No," she said, almost purring as his hand stroked the side of her face. "But it sounds like fun." Spike glanced at the clock. "Katie'll be asleep for at least an hour...maybe longer since she didn't have a nap this morning." "What are you saying?" Buffy asked, nuzzling his hand. "Let's go upstairs," he whispered hotly, leaning forward and licking her ear. "And I'll demonstrate the art of tongue bathing." ************************************************** They stopped at Katie's bedroom door and looked in on her. She hadn't budged from the position she'd been in when Buffy had last seen her, and she was sleeping so soundly that they could hear a soft snoring coming from her stuffy nose. Looking back at her husband, Buffy mouthed "She's all right," and pulled the door nearly all the way closed. Spike nodded and took her hand, leading her down the hallway to their own bedroom. With the door closed behind them, he wrapped his arms around Buffy and lifted her clear off the floor, melding his mouth over hers. Kissing was an integral part of their love play, and they did it well and thoroughly. They were adept at every type of kiss...from the hard, fast ones, with just their lips meeting...to the long, lingering, moist ones that involved their tongues and teeth, as well. Walking her across the room, Spike eased his wife down on the bed. He knelt beside her and began to unbutton her shirt. When she tried to return the favor, he stopped her. "Not yet," he teased. "Gotta give you a good seeing to first." Buffy liked the sound of that so much that she didn't protest at all. When her shirt was completely unbuttoned, he eased it down her arms and tossed it to the floor. Her bra, a "barely there" confection of pink lace and satin, posed no barrier to him, and he made quick work of stripping it off her. Although tempted to get started right then and there, Spike forced himself to continue his work until she was completely naked from head to toe. Her lightly tanned skin felt silky beneath his fingers as he moved his hands over her body. Then, starting at her hairline, Buffy's husband gave her the promised lesson....Tongue Bathing 101. *************************************************** She lay prone on her back, her arms at her sides, hands turned palms up. Spike lay beside her, touching the tip of his tongue to her face. It glided down the smooth skin of her forehead, tracing both her eyebrows, and flicking lightly at her lashes. Down her nose it moved, ending with a kiss on the very tip. Over her cheek to one ear, he licked it thoroughly, then crossed the planes of her face to the other ear and treated it to the same touch. Moist and cool, his tongue then traced the line of her jaw all the way down to the point of her chin and then up the other side. It tickled her upper lip, lapping gently at the slight depression in the center of it. It washed wetly over her lower lip, breaking contact just long enough for his teeth to grip gently, tugging and worrying it. But before she has a chance to bring her own tongue into play, his had moved on down her throat and was gently caressing the shallow cup at it's base. Buffy's entire body was bathed in a feverish glow of need and want. She had to force herself to remain still and let him play with her. He lapped the ridge of her collar bones, then took her arms and raised them until they were lying over her head. His tongue drew a tickling line from her right arm pit to the bend of her elbow, then down further, tracing the bluish veins laying just beneath the thin skin. He licked her palm and all her fingers, moving his tongue wetly from one to the next, thoroughly washing between each digit. With a wicked grin, he repeated the entire process on her left arm. Buffy's skin was shivering from the cool air caressing the wetness that coated it. Her eyes had drifted closed and her breathing was labored....and he hadn't even gotten to the really good parts of her yet! "You still with me?" he asked softly. "Mm...yes," Buffy sighed. "More..." Spike chuckled and licked his way back up her arm. His tongue then found the upper curves of her breasts, and Buffy inhaled sharply, waiting.... But he was determined to draw the experience out to its fullest measure, so he lingered where he was for a moment, then drew a wet path down to the under curves of her breasts. He wedged his tongue beneath one and slid it back and forth, moistening the warm fold in her flesh. After doing the same to the other side, he deliberately dragged his tongue up and over, then circled around her left nipple. Round and round that pink instrument of delectable torture moved, teasing here and there, darting and flicking lightly. Buffy was panting like a dog in the sun. He felt it and heard it...and decided to end the waiting. Flattening his tongue, he began lapping at the ultra sensitive tips of her breasts, leaving a shiny path of saliva on them. First softly...then a little harder...he played with pace and pressure until she was moaning steadily. No part of his body touched hers....save one. Spike purposely lingered at her breasts, giving them ample attention, knowing how much she enjoyed the touch of his mouth there. Then, he headed south. Hovering over her, he balanced himself on his hands and knees as he licked wetly down the center of her chest and over her abdomen. Buffy whimpered softly. He heard it and murmured, "Soon, baby...soon." Sliding to one side, he licked the inner dip of her waist and the feminine flare of her hip. His tongue then moved down to the place where her thighs met her torso, slipping down, nearly to her sex. But he didn't touch her there yet. Instead, he moved down slightly and instructed her to part her thighs. Mindlessly, she obeyed, gasping loudly when she felt him licking the taut muscle of her inner thigh. When he'd made one side very wet, he moved to the other and took care of that side as well. On down he traveled, tickling her behind her knees, the lapping over the firm mound of her calf. When he reached her right foot, he lifted it and licked the delicate instep, making her giggle. Spike chuckled and did it again, loving the way she squirmed. Knowing, as he always did, just when tickling became too much, he moved on to her pink polished toes. When all ten of them were good and wet, he began to make his way back up her left leg. "Open your legs a little more, kitten," he whispered. Buffy complied without delay. She opened her passion glazed eyes and met his gaze as he crouched in the open V of her thighs. "Here comes the best part," he promised, lowering his head. Buffy's body lurched up off the mattress at the first gentle sweep of his tongue. Starting at the bottom, he licked the cleft of her sex all the way up to the top in one long, lingering stroke. Then, stiffening it to a sharp point, he rubbed the tip of his tongue against her clit. "Oh....oh, yes....please..." she begged, her head thrashing on the pillow. "Harder...lick me...harder." Without hesitation, he complied. Applying himself with an impressive amount of dedication, he licked and licked her until he had her dripping with wetness from his tongue and from her own body. "Keep your eyes open, baby," he urged her. "Watch me." Buffy looked down as he requested. Unable to tear her gaze away from his, she stared at him as he lapped at her juicy center. "Now," he said, after a few seconds. "I go inside." He didn't draw the anticipation out this time, but plunged his tongue into her pussy as deeply as he could force it to go...which was a considerable depth. Uncontrollably, her hips jerked upwards, wanting even more. He had to put her hands on her legs to hold her in place as he moved his tongue around inside of her, then began fucking her with it. Buffy's body was on the razor's edge, unable to take much more stimulation. He had been working over her for a good thirty minutes by now and she was more than ready. Her breasts heaved with her ragged breathing, and she gripped two handfuls of the bedclothes. Captive beneath his mouth, she strained upwards as his skillful tongue slowly drove her insane. In and out, it moved swiftly, first deep...then shallow...thrust- ing with all the same vigor as his cock did when he had it there. He pulled it out, swirled it wetly around her clit, then sank it back in. Buffy shifted her hips. "Please, oh please...make me come," she pleaded. "I need it....I need...need to...please..." Spike pulled back. "I love it when you beg," he said. Closing his mouth around the tiny bud, he suckled strongly...ruth- lessly...making her body convulse with a series of plea- sure spasms. It raced up and down her spine in a slow moving wave, tormenting her and driving her over the edge into an abandonment of control. With one last cry, she ground herself against his face, coming so hard that she feared she'd pass out. At last Spike pulled away. Moving up and over her, he bent his head and captured her mouth, letting her taste the sweet liquor her body had fed to him as she sucked it off his tongue. When her heart rate slowed and her breathing smoothed out, she sighed deeply. "Baby....that was so good." He smiled, falling to the mattress and holding her close. ********************************************** After Buffy recovered enough to participate, they made tender love. Spike was too aroused to hold back, and they both climaxed quickly. His timing was really uncanny. No more than five minutes later they heard the creak of Katie's bed- room door as it opened. "Daddy?" the little girl called plaintively. "Can I be up now? I'm hungry, Daddy." Spike looked at Buffy, his eyes pleading. She smiled. "Go and get her." Rolling off the bed, he grabbed his jeans and pulled them on as he headed for the door. Katie was still behind her bedroom door. It was opened just a bit...just enough for her to peek out anxiously. When she saw her father, she opened it the rest of the way, waiting. Spike knelt and held out his arms. "Come here, princess," he coaxed her. Showing her dimples, she flew into her father's embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck like a baby monkey as he carried her into his room. Buffy had thrown on a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt, and was smoothing the rumpled bedspread. She turned and sat down when Spike set Katie on her feet. "Did you have a good nap, baby love?" she asked as the child climbed up onto the bed and into her mother's lap. Katie had forgotten all about her earlier woes, and was her usual sunny natured self. "I sleeped a long time," she reported earnestly. "Ith it time for dinner?" Spike joined his girls on the bed. "Almost time," he said. "What would you like to have?" "Can we have pizza?" she asked brightly. Her father grabbed her around the waist and fell back on the bed, lifting her in the air. "Absolutely we can," he said, tossing her gently. "We'll pop in a movie and eat in the front room tonight," he promised her, a rare treat. Sticking her arms straight out at her sides, Katie giggled as Spike tossed her again. Buffy leaned over and picked up the phone to order the pizza. "It'll be here in about a half hour." Her daughter wriggled out of Spike's arms and bounced happily on the bed. "Can we play Candyland?" she asked, eager to press her parental advantage. Spike and Buffy exchanged a glance. "Sure we can," Buffy said agreeably. "You run and get the game and we'll play downstairs." They watched as she toddled off. Before they followed after her, Buffy looked at Spike. "Let her win." Spike nodded. "Right." The End.
