Title: Blue Eyed Devil Author: Pattyanne snapkik@yahoo.com Disclaimer: None of the BtVS characters belong to me. Feedback: Love some, thanks! Rating: Up to NC-17 Summary: AU. Spike Devlin is the lead singer for the band 'Blue Eyed Devil'. Buffy Summers is the local preschool teacher he falls in love with shortly before leaving for a nationwide tour. Part twenty-nine..... "You've been a very bad boy, you know." "I have." "I should punish you." "You should." A fresh fire was blazing on the hearth. After tossing every pillow in the house on the floor in front of it, they stretched out side by side, facing each other. "If you were one of my students," Buffy added, arching one eyebrow, "you'd be sitting in the time out chair." "Yes, ma'am." Devlin gave her the most innocently sincere look he could summon up. A look she tried to disregard in order to maintain her upper hand. "Good thing for you you're too big for it." "I'm numb with relief," he assured her. The charm had been turned up full blast, but she was learning how to sneak around it. "Do YOU have any suggestions?" "What, you mean about punishment?" He moved closer, placing one arm around her waist and pretending to think. "One thing comes to mind." "Do tell." He leered playfully. "You could make me take all your clothes off and kiss every inch of your body...you know how much I hate that," he added when she snorted in an unladylike manner. But when he moved to kiss her, she placed her hand in the middle of his chest. The light moment suddenly changed. "About Riley," she began. "He..." Spike cut her off. "I know. He's a friend, and I'm an insecure moron. I get it now." "Actually, you really don't," she said, shaking her head. "So let me tell you; Riley is...he's a guy I've known for a couple of years. He's the bank officer who arranged for Willow's small business loan. That's how I met him." Spike stayed silent, preparing himself for what was coming. He wanted to be able to take whatever she was getting ready to tell him about this other man in an adult frame of mind. The guy was her friend and she'd every right to have as many friends as she chose without worrying about setting him off. But the LESS adult part of him, the spoiled and jealous child part, wanted to punch that clown dead in the face. "We've gone out maybe...I don't know...ten or eleven times. It was fun..." His jaw was beginning to ache with the effort of keeping it clamped tight. "...but I wouldn't care if he up and left town." **If only,** he replied silently. **If only...** The feelings that he was experiencing were very new for him. He'd never felt so possessive and territorially inclined with any other woman, at any time in his life. Buffy brought out all the primal instinct that he'd not given any thought to, or even known was there. "You believe me...don't you?" she asked, worried at the closed down expression that had frozen on his features. "Spike, you have to trust me. Because, if you don't..." That caught his attention. "It's not that I don't trust you, Buffy," he said, turning away from her and sitting up. "That's not the problem." "Then what is it?" Shit....he didn't KNOW what it was! If HE couldn't understand it, how the hell was he going to explain it to her? Staring into the fire, he spoke haltingly. "I don't...even know this guy...and I hate him. I hate everything about him. Because he knew you first, because you went out with him, because he's kissed you...and touched you." That was a stab in the dark, but she didn't jump in and deny it. He held his peace for a moment, then looked at her. "But I hate him most of all because he'll BE here...and I won't." His eyes were stormy as he regarded her. "I'll be on the other side of the fucking country." She really wished he'd quit reminding her of that. "But not for good, right?" she asked faintly. He looked perplexed. "I...what?" "I mean..." She swallowed hard. "You're coming back, aren't you?" Devlin stared at her in disbelief as her meaning became clear. "Is...is THAT what you've been thinking?" He frowned. "That I'm never coming back?" When she didn't answer right away, he jumped to his feet, towering over her and running one hand through his hair. "Jesus Christ, Buffy! How can you even think a thing like that?" Buffy's eyes darted away guiltily. Hadn't she just been wondering that very same thing? She opened her mouth to make whatever measly apology she could, but he leaned over and grabbed her hands, hauling her to her feet. "Buffy," he said, staring intently into her eyes and willing his words to convince her. "I'm coming back. The minute this tour ends, I'll be on the first plane out of whatever city I happen to be in." Buffy felt the tightening in her chest begin to give way. It was a feeling she'd been living with for the past three days, the axe poised to drop on her come Thursday morning. All his whispered words of love, his gentle touches, his abandoned lovemaking, hadn't been able to make it go completely away. It had been hovering on the edge of her happiness like a snake looking for a vulnerable spot to bite, and she'd been so worried about it that she hadn't been able to work up the nerve to raise the subject. But now, it was out in the open between them, ready to be dealt with...and three simple words from him was making everything better; "I'm coming back." Then, in a ridiculous coincidence that would have been too much in the corniest and most cliche laden old Hollywood musical, the room brightened as the sun finally edged it's way out from behind the rain clouds. They both glanced around the room at the sudden splash of sunlight, then looked back at each other. "Well," he said, smiling, "that pretty much speaks for itself, doesn't it?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Not that you don't look very appealing in my old sweat pants, but I think your clothes are probably dry." They were lying on the sofa, watching the last of the rain pattering off the roof of the porch, snuggling together beneath an afghan that her mom had knitted for her during her 'earth mother' phase, the one she had taken on immediately after Buffy had moved out on her own. For almost three months, she had been on the receiving end of more easy to reheat casseroles, home baked loaves of bread and gallons of soup than one person could possibly manage to eat. "I have absolutely no interest in putting any more clothes on right now," Devlin replied, tightening his arms around her. A sudden urge to cause a little mischief came over her. "Why don't we go for a walk?" "No, thanks." She wriggled around to look at him. "Didn't you say something in one of your songs about that being romantic?" "No, I said walking IN the rain was romantic," he denied. "Slogging through puddles and slipping on muddy leaves is just annoying." "Uh-huh." "Besides," he added. "I've got your romance right here." Burying his face in her hair, his hands crept up under her sweater. Underneath her was a very prominent erection pressing against her bottom. Shifting her hips made it even harder. She could feel the heat radiating from him, and she leaned back into him, soaking in his warmth. "Buffy?" he murmured into the side of her neck. "Do you forgive me for being such a bastard?" She smiled with her eyes closed. "Well...that grabbing your crotch thing was pretty rude," she said. "But you were right about one thing..." "Yeah? That's a relief. What was it?" Buffy could feel her cheeks reddening. She couldn't believe what she was about to say, even as she was saying it. "I...I have kind of developed a taste for this," she said softly, pushing down into his lap. Her movement elicited a choked gasp from him. "Me, too." He turned her over in his arms, slipping his hands back up under her sweater and unhooking her bra. She pushed up on her hands and allowed him to lift the front of her top and move her undergarment out of the way, then settled back down against his bare chest. Their eyes locked. Without a word, he took her hand and placed it on the swelling in the front of the borrowed sweat pants. Forcing herself not to blush or turn away, she tightened her fingers around his erection. Spike's head dropped back and thumped against the arm of the sofa. "Oh, Christ," he muttered. "Have a little pity, Miss Buffy," he begged. "Meaning?" "Meaning....stop." She blinked with surprise when he pushed her hand away. "I have some making up to do," he explained briefly, sliding out from under her. "And if you touch me like that...I won't be in any condition to attend to your needs first." This sounded promising, so she allowed him to pull her to her feet. He made quick work of removing her jeans and underpants, but he instructed her to leave her top the way it was, telling her that he liked the way it looked having her upper garments mussed up and askew while she was naked from the waist down. Dropping to knees in front of her, he pushed her legs apart and lowered his head to kiss her inner thighs. Buffy instinctively moved her hips forward, making him pause in his ministrations. "Settle down, princess," he scolded her. "I'm making amends here." Taking her hips in his hands, he lowered his head between her legs and breathed in the scent of her arousal. She was already wet, he could see and smell it, and it only made him hungrier. Pressing his face to her delicious sex, he began lapping and sucking at it, wallowing in the taste and moisture. He went at her with a tender fierceness, licking up all the wetness her body was producing, using his tongue to encourage more of it to flow by rubbing it firmly against her clit. As he ate her out, he took her feet in his hands and bent her legs, resting her feet on the sofa. Ordinarily, this wanton position might have caused her embarrassment, but she was too overwhelmed by the sensations that were uncoiling in her lower regions to care. Unable to get enough of the salty-sweet taste of her, his mouth moved from her clit, traveling down the folds of her labia. Reaching his goal, he darted his tongue inside and pushed it as deep as he could make it go. Buffy dragged air into her lungs, then released it on a soft cry of pleasure. Her hips writhed in his grasp as she sought the satisfaction he was teasing out of her. "More?" he whispered, licking her from top to bottom. "Shall I make you come this way, princess? The first time?" Not waiting for an answer, he dove back into his task. Going at her with even more vigor, he licked her hard and then slid his tongue in and out of her drenched passage as one hand moved up beneath her disarranged sweater to caress her nipples. Her climax slammed into her with little warning. One moment she was lying there enjoying the slow thrusting of his tongue, and the next she was straining forward when he slid one finger up into her at the same time he sucked hard on her clitoris. She cried out as the explosion sent shock waves of pleasure up and down her spine. Devlin brought her down from it gently, carefully, knowing full well that over stimulation at this point could border on pain. As her body calmed, his tongue slipped slowly away from her and he pillowed his head on her thigh. Looking up at her, he caught the satisfied smile she couldn't suppress. "How am I doing so far?" he asked pleasantly. "As far as making up goes?" TBC..... (Well....answer the man's question! ;-D )
