Title: "Don't Call Me Goldielocks!" Author: Pattyanne snapkik@yahoo.com Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me. Feedback: Yes, please. Thank you. Summary: A rewrite of "Gone" the way I would have liked to see it. The Middle cont..... Being invisible was the most fun she'd had in a very long time...not counting the incredible sex fest she'd been treated to a couple of days ago. After checking in with Xander and Anya in hopes of getting them started on a solution to her problem, which admittedly would start to get real old, real fast...she took a long, leisurely stroll through the park, stirring up a little mischief just for the hell of it. She had unseated a few ugly hats, leaned against car doors to prevent people from climbing out of them, caught Frisbees before they reached the person they were being thrown to and then turned them around and threw them back, and stole a hot dog from a vendor pushing a cart. This last act of hooliganism was slightly mellowed by the promise she made herself to return and pay for it. On the playground, she freaked people out by swing- ing on the swing set while wailing like a lost soul, then giggling like a loon. She turned the drinking fountain on and off, and splashed a pushy kid that wouldn't take his turn properly. Eventually, she grew tired of these antics and decided to head for home. Cutting through the cemetery where her undead inamorata resided, she gave in to a sudden impulse and headed for his crypt to pay him a little surprise visit. ************************************************* She kicked the door open in her usual manner. The television was playing some stinky old horror flick, but her vampire lover wasn't sitting in his favorite chair. Closing the door, she walked into the room on tiptoe and saw him standing in front of the open fridge door, looking tousled and sexy. Spike was wearing jeans and a loose fitting button down shirt. He was barefoot, which tickled her pink for some reason. As she watched he turned and surveyed the room. "Whatever beastie you are, I know you're here," he said. "And I hurt beasties." Unable to resist, she walked over to him and squeezed his...amazingly firm...ass. "Hey!" He jumped a little. "Watch it!" Buffy was having a hard time not falling on the floor laughing. God, this was fun! She reached over and switched off the television, and Spike sighed. "Oh, a ghost is it?" he asked irritably. "Go haunt the living, like a good spook." Instead of doing as he said, Buffy glided past him, just barely touching. Spike lifted his head, scenting the air. His eyes narrowed as she moved behind him. Without giving him a chance to speak, she grabbed his arm and threw him up against the wall. He tried to move away, but she shoved him back and pinned him, then ripped open his shirt, sending buttons flying. Spike stared down, confused, then took another good whiff of the air above her head. Buffy leaned forward and drew circles around the flat copper disc of his right nipple, tonguing it thoroughly, making him gasp and moan. "Buffy?" Drawing back, she pouted, forgetting that he couldn't see it. "Aww..you guessed," she complained. "Baby...what the hell happened to you?" he asked, groping with one hand until he found her arm, then pulling her close again. She shrugged, nestling closer. "I don't know. I was walking along minding my own business, and then...poof! Invisible." He shook his head. "This could only happen to you, kitten. So, tell me," he added, "what brings you here in the middle of the day? If you're looking for a slaying partner, I'll have to decline. I have a nasty allergy to direct sunlight." She giggled and nuzzled his chest. "Not a slaying partner," she admitted, letting her lips linger on his smooth skin. "Oh," he said, grinning like a devil, "you've come by for a taste of what you had the other night, have you? You ready to admit that..." She clapped her hand over his mouth. "Do yourself a favor," she advised. "Stop talking...and take me downstairs to bed." Placing his hand on her shoulder, he let it slide down her arm until it found hers, then led her across the floor to the ladder. ***************************************************** "You're doing pretty well for someone who can't see what he's touching," Buffy commented. Spike shrugged, and undid the last button on her shirt. "I don't really need to see buttons in order to undo them," he replied, peeling the garment off and tossing it on the floor. He found the front clasp of her bra and twisted it open. "When I find out who did this to you," he said, "I'm gonna tear their fucking heads off....pain or no pain." "How come?" she asked, puzzled at the comment. "Because half the fun of undressing you is seeing you naked." His hands cupped her face and he lowered his head and kissed her. She was really beginning to enjoy it, when his fingers slid up and into her hair and he pulled away in shock. "What's wrong?" she asked, forgetting about her hair cut. "Your hair!" he said loudly. "Where the fuck is your hair?" "Oh, that," she shrugged. "Um...I had it cut." He placed his hands on top of her head and then moved them down the sides, measuring the place where her hair ended. He was quiet for a moment, then sighed. "Please tell me that you didn't cut off your hair just to spite me," he said. "No way," she lied, crossing her invisible fingers. "I just wanted a change." "I really wish I could see your face right now," he said. "See if you're fibbing to me." "Why?" "If you did it because of what I said," he informed her, smiling, "then you wasted your time and money, as well as your hair. Buffy," he went on, stroking the shortened locks, "I told you that I love the color of your hair...and how soft it is...and how good it smells. I never said anything about the length." This was true, and she could have kicked herself! "I'll bet," he said, still fondling her hair, "that it looks lovely on you." "Well," she sighed. "It's kind of cute...and it's not too short." "No," he smiled. "And it's still soft and it still smells wonderful." Buffy looked into his eyes, wishing he could be looking into hers. Why couldn't he talk this way all the time? It would sure save him a hell of a lot of trouble. She slipped her invisible hands up and around the back of his neck, drawing him down for another kiss. Her tongue pried his lips apart and slipped into his mouth, dancing lightly over the blunt edge of his teeth. Groaning softly, he tugged her down onto the bed and finished undressing her. When they were both naked, they climbed beneath the crisp white sheet and he began to make slow and tender love to her. His mouth trailed down her throat and found the upper curve of her breast, and she arched her back, offering herself up for his pleasure. Spike brought one hand up and cupped the warm mound of flesh, lifting it slightly as he opened his mouth and found her hard nipple, aching and swollen and needing his soothing tongue. He drew wet, lazy circles around the sensitive peak, then suckled it until she was writing under him, her fingers tangling in his unruly curls, keeping his mouth where she loved having it. "So soft, baby," he murmured against her skin. "Never felt anything as soft as you." "More," she begged, guiding him to her other breast. "Suck hard. Oh, god....yeah....I love it when you do that." He smiled, squeezing and fondling her breast. "Such luscious tits you have, slayer. I could play here for hours and never get enough of them." "Don't stop," she demanded, pulling him back down."Not yet." Spike gave her what she wanted, indulging both of their cravings extravagantly. He sucked and licked her tender flesh, paying her lavish compliments on their beauty and softness. As he became more aggressive, he nipped her with his teeth, then soothed the sting with his cool tongue. When she was ready for him to move on, she released her grip on his hair and nudged him further down. He chuckled softly. "Oh, I know what my girl wants, what she needs," he said, kissing a wet path down her abdomen. Settling himself lower in the bed, he urged her to part her thighs and then applied his tongue to the moist cleft of her sex. He licked her all over, then located her clit and sucked it lightly. Buffy's entire lower body was bathed in a fever of pleasure. He was having to hold her by the hips to keep her still as she twisted and turned beneath him. "Oh....oh, yes....Spike..." she panted, her fingers digging into the mattress. "That's so good....so good." "Mm-hmm" he agreed, lapping at her with hard strokes of his tongue. She was rapidly climbing the steep hill that no one else had ever led her up before. He had brought her to this point so many times the other night, so many ways, she had lost track of everything he had done to her. All she had known clearly, was that she wanted more of this...more of him. As it was then, so it was now. She wanted more...right then and there. "Spike," she whispered, tugging on the silky white blond curls. "Do it now...I want it now...I can't wait. Please, baby...love me now." It was all he needed to hear. Moving back up, he nestled his hips between her spread thighs. "Lift up a little, babe," he directed, and when she did, he positioned himself and slid all the way inside of her. "Buffy," he moaned, kissing her lips and her cheeks. "Oh, baby...you feel so good. So tight and wet...wanna fuck you so hard." But contrary to what he was saying, he began thrusting gently, sliding slowly in and then back out, letting her feel every inch of his cock as it invaded her, plundered her....and drove her wild. She whimpered in her throat, all the intense pleasure of the other night racing back to her. He responded with a soft gasp as his hips dipped and then rose back up. Their world was absolutely perfect then....until.... "Spike?" They both froze. "What are you doing?" Spike turned his head and saw Xander standing a few feet away from the bed. Trying desperately to think of a plausible explanation, all he could come up with was, "What am I....well, what does it look like I'm doing, you nit? I'm exercising, aren't I?" With an apologetic look down at Buffy, he did two rapid push ups that made her squeak, both from the sudden pressure on her abdomen and the hard thrust of his erection inside her. "Exercising?" Xander asked, doubtfully. "Naked. In bed." With a long suffering sigh, Spike pulled out of Buffy and stood up, wrapping the sheet around his hips. "A man shouldn't use immortality as an excuse to let himself go," he explained. "Gotta keep fit for the killing." He sat down on the end of the bed, waiting for Xander to reveal the purpose of his visit. "Yeah-huh," Xander nodded skeptically, then shrugged. "I'm looking for Buffy." "Haven't seen her," Spike answered promptly. "Well, you wouldn't," Xander said. "Fact is...she's come down with a slight case of invisibility." "Yeah?" Spike asked, looking appropriately shocked. "How did, uh...." His words caught in his throat when he felt Buffy sneak up behind him and lick his ear. "We don't know yet," Xander replied. Making little kissy sounds, Buffy bit down on Spike's earlobe and nibbled it, making him jump. "Anyway," Xander went on, "she's not at the house and I really, really need to find her." "Uh...I'll tell you what," Spike said, swatting at thin air behind him. "I'll take a peek around, first chance I get," he tried to muffle a laugh as she tickled him, "and if we run into each other, I'll clue her that you're on the look- out." "After your," Xander made a face, "exercises?" Spike swatted Buffy's hand away before it went for his crotch. "Yeah...right." After a moment, Xander nodded and turned to leave. "You know, Spike," he said, "all kidding aside...you really should get a girlfriend." He climbed the ladder and left the crypt. Spike turned around towards Buffy. "You know, that boy is bloody stupid," he said, shaking his head. "Never mind that," she replied. "We have got to figure out a way of locking that door up there." Crawling back up the bed to her, he settled by her side. "Listen, babe...as much as I hate to say this, you should probably go and find out why they're searching high and low for you. Maybe your chums have figured out a way to bring you back to living color." Buffy shook her head, forgetting again that he couldn't see her. "I don't want to," she whined, a child being dragged out of a playground by the scruff of her neck. But he wasn't giving in. "I don't care. You're going. Find your clothes and get dressed." Putting himself out of "hitting" reach, he got out of bed and located a bottle of wine and a glass. "I know you're enjoying the invisibility game, slayer, but I'd like to be able to see you again...soon," he said, pouring a glass full of the wine and drink- ing it. "I thought we were having fun," Buffy grumbled. She stood up on the bed and jumped into his arms. "We were," he replied. "And we will. As soon as you're completely...here." She tried to lean down and kiss him, but he pushed her away. "I mean it, Buffy. Find your clothes and get going, because I want to have all of you and..." Inspiration struck and she dropped to her knees and took his slightly softened shaft into her mouth, determined to harden it up again. Spike looked down. "Okay, that's cheating." TBC..... (I like this rewriting things to suit myself stuff. Much more satisfying, doncha think?)
