"One sin, I know, another doth provoke.

Murder's as near to lust as flame to smoke."

-William Shakespeare, Pericles

Spike's hands slide down to Liam's ass, pulling them together, rubbing against Liam and groaning into the kiss.

"Oh god," Liam moans, his hips alternately pressing against Spike's hands and hips.

Spike slides a hand around to starts undoing and unzipping Liam's jeans.

"William," Liam whispers, looking into Spike's eyes. His own hand moves between them, unfastening Spike's jeans.

"Liam," Spike whispers back. His hand slips inside, rubbing along Liam's cock through his boxers.

Liam whimpers and presses against Spike's hand, his own hand sliding over Spike's cock as well. "You chose the silk today," he says with a grin.

Spike chuckles and moans. "Yes. I was kinda hoping..."

Liam blushes slightly. "Am I such a caveman?" he asks, wrapping his fingers around Spike's cock as much as he can through the silk.

"No. Not at all." Spike whimpers as Liam's fingers curl around his shaft. His own fingers move up along Liam's shaft, curling inside the waistband of the boxers to touch the velvety skin.

"Oh god William, I want to see you, I want to touch you," Liam begs.

"And I you. Let's get these jeans off. Please."

Liam nods emphatically, sliding off of Spike and kicking his jeans to the floor. "Should I?" he asks, pulling the waistband of his boxers.

Spike nods vigorously. "Yesss, please yes." He's skimming out of his own jeans, and then sliding down the boxers, revealing his erect cock.

Liam gasps as he sees Spike's cock, hard and slick and delicious. He hooks his thumbs in his boxers and slides them down, his own cock springing free. "You have an amazing body," he says sincerely.

Spike's eyes widen as Liam is fully naked before him. "So do you."

Liam blushes slightly and looks down. "Thank you," he says as he crawls back onto the bed, lying down beside Spike.

Spike rolls onto his side and strokes his hands down Liam's chest.

Liam looks into Spike's eyes, his hand moving down Spike's side, resting on his bare hip. "You're the most beautiful creature I've ever seen."

"You're the first person I've ever believed looked at me as more than just a pretty boy to fuck."

Liam caresses Spike's face, looking lovingly into his eyes. "You are so much more. SO much more, William," he says honestly. "May I touch you?"

Spike gazes back at Liam, drinking in his sincerity. "Yes, please." His voice is husky with desire.

Liam trails his fingertips over the hollows of Spike's hips, then across his navel before brushing them along the under side of his smooth shaft.

Spike whimpers and his cock twitches at the touch of Liam's fingers. "May I?" He asks.

Liam wraps his hand gently around Spike's cock and moans. "Please, William, please."

Spike rubs the palm of his hand over Liam's hard abs and then down onto his cock, fingers curling around it. "We're both shaved, I notice." His eyes twinkle a bit even as his hips rock up into Liam's grip.

Liam chuckles and moans. "I like the way it feels," he says as his hips move into Spike's grip.

"So do I. Especially on you."

"I was going to say the same thing," Liam says with a smile, his fingers brushing down over Spike's smooth balls.

Spike groans and parts his legs a bit. He slides his thumb over the top of Liam's cock, teasing some precum from his slit and lifting his thumb to his mouth.

"Oh fuck, that's sexy," Liam moans, his heart pounding as he wraps his hand a little tighter, stroking Spike faster.

Spike licks his thumb clean then moves his hand back down, stroking again. "You taste good."

Liam mimics Spike's motion, sliding his fingertips over Spike's weeping head, looking into his blue eyes as he slowly licks them clean, moaning softly. "Oh god, so do you," he says, his cock twitching in Spike's hand.

Spike moans at that, looking up into Liam's eyes. He leans into kiss him, their tastes still in each other's mouths. Liam slides his hand back down to wrap around Spike's cock again, his thumb rubbing against the smooth skin underneath his balls. He closes his eyes and moans into the kiss, their precum mixing in their mouths. Spike whimpers and pushes into Liam's grip again, his free hand moving to knead one of Liam's muscular ass cheeks.

"Oh god, William," Liam gasps, his hips alternating between thrusting into Spike's grip and the feeling of Spike's hand on his ass.

Spike slides his fingers along the divide between his cheeks, up and down. His own cock twitches in Liam's firm grip.

"Anything you want," Liam moans, stroking Spike in the rhythm of his own hips pressing into Spike's grip.

"Just feeling you. Don't usually get to touch. Not like this."

"I love the way you feel, touching me, caressing me," Liam says softly, his other hand wrapping beneath Spike to stroke his back softly.

Spike moans and leans into kiss Liam again, sliding one leg up along the outside of Liam's. His finger slides down, brushing across Liam's pucker to stroke his perineum from behind.

"Oh yes, William," Liam moans, his hand moving down to gently massage his firm ass.

"Ohhhh god," Spike groans and presses into Liam's hand. He moves his hips faster into Liam's grip.

"You like my big hands on you?" Liam teases, sliding his fingertips between Spike's ass cheeks, just caressing.

"Yes. God yes." Spike moans and licks and kisses on Liam's neck.

"William," Liam whispers, tilting his head to press his neck into Spike's mouth. "You are fucking amazing," he says, his fingers brushing against Spike's tight pucker.

Spike whimpers and pushes against Liam's finger. "So are you. Damn you're sexy."

"You like that baby boy?" Liam asks, pressing a bit further.

"Yes," Spike gasps. "More, please, please."

"Hold on," Liam says softly, sliding his finger gently out. He looks in the bedside table and smiles, pulling out a small bottle.

Spike grins. "They thought of everything, it seems."

"They always do," Liam says with a smile, flipping the bottle open and squeezing a few drops of lubricant onto his middle finger.

Spike spreads his legs a bit. "Leave lube in safe houses?"

Liam chuckles and shakes his head. "No, they always think of everything," he says, sliding his fingers between Spike's cheeks again, his lubricated fingertip pressing against the pucker.

Spike gasps. "Yes. Good thing." He pushes back a little.

Liam wraps his hand around Spike's cock again, stroking him gently as he presses his finger deeper. Spike groans and strokes his hand faster on Liam's cock. Liam pushes his finger fully into Spike's tight ass, moving gently inside him. "Oh god, this is fucking amazing."

Spike nods and nips lightly on Liam's neck. "Feels so damn good."

"I want to make you feel good, William," Liam says sincerely, sliding his finger almost all the way out before moving it back in. His thumb brushes over Spike's head as he strokes him.

Spike groans. "You are. So good." Spike moves his other hand to Liam's cock so both hands are working on it.

"Oh god," Liam says thrusting into Spike's hands, moving another finger to press against Spike's tight pucker, his hand moving in a spiral motion up and down his cock.

Spike whimpers. "I'm not going to last much longer, Liam."

"I want to taste you," Liam says huskily. "Please, I want you to cum in my mouth."

Spike nods. "Yes, please." The thought of Liam's mouth on his cock is almost enough to make him cum right now.

Liam smiles and kisses Spike deeply, then kisses down over his chest, tracing his tongue over his navel and the little hollows on his hips. He takes his time, going almost torturously slow before finally taking Spike's weeping head into his mouth with a loud moan as he slides his tongue over Spike's slit, tasting the pre-cum.

Spike whimpers and shivers at Liam's slow teasing, hips still rocking against Liam's fingers inside him. Liam's cock is out of his reach, all he can do is stroke his fingers through Liam's hair, tightening as the teasing gets more and more intense, as he holds off coming by sheer will alone.

Liam moans as he feels Spike's hands in his hair, curling his fingers inside Spike's tightness, swirling his tongue around Spike's smooth head before sliding down on his shaft, massaging it gently with his tongue.

"Ohhhh god, Liam," Spike half-sobs, half-moans as he feels Liam's mouth take him in. His hips thrust up and his belly tightens as he comes inside Liam's mouth almost explosively.

Liam almost growls as he drinks in Spike's cum, moaning at the taste as he slowly, gently, cleans Spike's cock with his tongue and mouth.

Spike shivers more as he lies on the bed, spent, panting a bit. "That was incredible," Spike moans.

Liam smiles and slowly kisses back up Spike's body, his hands gently caressing his hips and belly. He finally lies down beside Spike and pulls him to lie on his shoulder, wrapping both arms tightly around him. "You are so amazing, William," he says softly.

"You're the amazing one." Spike burrows into his chest. "You didn't get to come. I'm sorry."

Liam smiles and kisses Spike's forehead. "Don't worry about it, baby boy. It's no big deal. I wanted this to be about you," he says sincerely.

"You're too good to me." Spike rubbed his face against Liam's chest, taking in his scent, feeling his skin.

"No such thing," Liam says honestly, sighing happily as he feels Spike rubbing against him, almost kitten like.

Spike smiles up at Liam. "I still want you, you know." He slides up and kisses Liam gently.

Liam moans softly into the kiss, returning it with love. "You have me any way you want me, William," he says softly.

Spike strokes his cheek, looking into his eyes. "You really mean that, don't you?"

Liam smiles and nods, leaning into Spike's hand. "I very seldom say things I don't mean and I'll never lie to you."

Spike moves over and straddles Liam, resting his hands on the pillow. "I want you inside me. I want to feel you in me."

Liam shudders and closes his eyes, panting. "Are you sure?"

"*Very* sure. I want you so much."

Liam bites his lip and looks up into Spike's eyes. "Okay, William, anything you want," he says as he strokes his hands over Spike's chest. "Check to see if there's some condoms in the drawer?" he says, pointing to the drawer where he found the lubricant.

Spike leans over and comes back with a foil packet. "Here's one." He slides down and tears it open, licking his lips as he rolls it down over Liam's still-hard cock. "Good thing they're one size fits all."

Liam moans loudly as he feels Spike rolling the latex over his shaft. "What do you mean?" he moans.

"Because you're so bloody big." Spike takes the lube, slicking it over his latex-sheathed shaft, and then slides back up Liam's body, kissing and licking as he moves.

Liam blushes slightly. "I'm not that big," he says, knowing it's a lie, moaning as he feels Spike's lips and tongue moving over his body.

Spike grins down at Liam and kisses him. "You are." He rocks back a little, feeling the head of Liam's cock pressing against his pucker.

"Oh fucking hell, William!" Liam cries out, just feeling his head pressing against Spike drives him crazy. "Shit, it's been soooo long," he moans softly.

Spike kisses onto his neck and nuzzles and nips at the base of his throat. "You feel so good there." He pushes back a little more, feeling himself slowly opened.

Liam bites his lip and would purr if he could at the feel of Spike's soft nuzzling and bites. "You are fucking amazing," he says with dilated pupils, feeling his head sliding further into Spike's ass.

Spike keeps sliding back slowly. "No. No, you are. For letting me do this. For giving me this."

"William," Liam moans softly, his brown eyes locked on Spike's blue ones. "I want to give you the whole fucking universe," he says sincerely, his hands stroking gently over Spike's torso, teasing his nipples gently.

Spike groans and gazes back at Liam. "This is the best night I've ever had. The best I've ever felt."

"It's not over yet, baby," Liam says with a moan, forcing himself not to rock his hips up, letting Spike take him in slowly and at his own pace.

"Ohhh god, Liam." Spike sits up and lets his weight press himself down onto Liam, impaling himself. He rests his hands on Liam's chest, looking down into his eyes.

"William!" Liam cries out, feeling himself seated completely inside Spike. "Oh god baby boy, you feel so fucking amazing," he moans, his hands moving down Spike's sides, gripping his hips gently.

Spike shivers and nods, licking his lips. "I love the feel of you inside me. Love looking into your eyes."

"Oh god me too, me fucking too. You have the most amazing eyes I've ever seen," Liam says, trembling softly.

Spike pushes up, and then lowers himself again, feeling Liam slide out and then back in. "You see me. You really see me."

"Oh god, William," Liam moans, feeling Spike start to move slowly on him. "All of you, I want to know everything about you, share everything with you."

Spike leans down to kiss him. "Please, Liam. Please take me."

Liam wraps his arms around Spike's body, kissing him deeply as he starts to move his hips in a slow rocking motion. "You are so beautiful."

"And you are so handsome." Spike rocks back to meet Liam's thrusts. "Please don't stop. I need this. I need you."

"I won't, baby, I won't," Liam moans, curling his hand around Spike's cock as he continues to slowly, almost gently, slide into and out of Spike's tightness.

"You're so gentle with me. So patient. Like I'm something precious and fragile." Spike moves his mouth back to lick and nuzzle his throat.

"You are precious, a treasure," Liam says softly, moaning at the feel of Spike's mouth on him as he moves almost completely out of Spike, only his head still inside, before sliding slowly back in.

"God, Liam," Spike whimpers, licking and nipping. "You're so good to me." His hands slide over Liam's chest and sides and arms, feeling his skin, squeezing lightly on his muscles.

Liam shudders and lifts his hips from the bed, pressing himself even further into Spike. "I love your hands, your mouth, your eyes, your mind," he moans.

Spike moans and rocks harder onto him. "I think I love you, Liam," he whispers softly.

Liam lifts his hand to cup Spike's cheek. "I think I love you, William," he says softly, looking into his blue eyes. He feels Spike moving harder on him and increases his thrusts, still gentle, but a bit deeper and faster.

"Ohhh fuck, Liam," Spike groans out and kisses him fiercely.

Liam shudders and wraps his arms tightly around Spike, pressing their chests together as he returns the hard kiss. He rolls his hips to cause friction on Spike's cock that's now pinned between their muscular stomachs. Spike whimpers and moans into the kiss, moving and writhing against him, gripping his fingers into Liam's back. Liam finally breaks the kiss breathlessly. "William, my boy," he says softly, looking into his eyes.

"Am I your boy?" William asks, eyes searching Liam's.

"Mine," Liam says softly. "Is that bad?" he asks, afraid to ruin this moment.

"No. It's wonderful." Spike leans in presses his forehead to Liam's. "So wonderful."

Liam runs his fingers through Spike's hair. "You're mine, only mine, forever," he says, loving the feeling of their foreheads pressed together while he's seated deep inside Spike.

Spike moans and rubs against Liam's hand. "Forever. Oh god, Liam, forever."

"Always and forever," Liam moans softly, gently tugging at Spike's soft curls. He pulls almost all the way out of Spike again, holding with only his head inside.

Spike whimpers and rocks against him. "Liam, please."

Liam grins, "Please what, my love?"

"Please fuck me, Liam."

Liam shakes his head. "I won't fuck you, but I will make love to you," he says softly, sliding fully inside Spike again.

Spike smiles at Liam, gripping onto his arms. "Make love. I don't think I've ever done that."

"Let me be your first," Liam asks, almost begging.

"Definitely," Spike says. "My first." He kisses him again, soft and lingering.

Liam closes his eyes and returns the kiss with love, moaning softly from the amazing emotions flowing between them. "I love you, William."

"I love you too, Liam." Spike rests his head on Liam's shoulder, kissing softly along his collarbone. Right now, nothing exists outside this room, outside this bed. Liam wraps his arms around Spike again, his fingers caressing the smooth muscles of his back. He moves his hips slow and gentle, feeling himself throbbing inside Spike's tightness. This slow, loving pace is driving him mad. Spike groans and nips on his collarbone. "You said I could have you anyway I want."

"Anyway you want, baby, anything you want. God, I love it when you nip at me," Liam moans.

Spike pulls at Liam, tugging to roll them so Liam is on top of him. He wraps his legs around Liam. "Please, Liam, I want you to take me hard and fast. Please."

"Oh fuck oh fuck," Liam moans, leaning down against Spike's chest, their small nipples rubbing. "I love you, I'll do anything for you," he says, kissing Spike hard and deep, thrusting into Spike hard.

Spike groans and pulls himself tight against Liam, moving to meet his thrusts, pressing into the kiss. As much as he loves the gentle treatment, he wants to feel Liam in him, wants to be taken by him.

"I want you, you're mine, I'm going to take you, make you mine alone," Liam says, leaning up on his hands to buck against Spike, his balls slapping against him.

"Ohhh fuck yes, Liam, yes, yours. Just yours." Spike's eyes open and fix on Liam's. "You really want me."

"Want you, need you, have you," Liam says, each phrase punctuated by a hard thrust.

Spike moans and whimpers, pulling harder back against him. "Yes, you have me."

"And I'm going to take you," Liam says, looking down into Spike's eyes, pulling almost all the way out before slamming back into him hard and fast, repeating the action over and over.

"Yes, god yes," Spike gasps and pants, his body shuddering with the forces of Liam's pounding. He never stops looking into Liam's eyes, seeing the love and the possessiveness there.

"I love you, you're mine," Liam almost growls, his cock throbbing, his balls tightening, feeling the tight, warm ass. He locks his eyes on Spike's, not looking away for even a second.

"I love you, I love you, I'm yours," Spike echoes. He shivers and his skin sheens with sweat.

"My good boy, my William," Liam moans, wrapping one hand around Spike's cock, stroking it in the same fast rhythm of his hips, pounding into Spike. "Oh god, you feel so good, so fucking good, you're going to make me cum baby."

Spike whimpers and arches, squeezing down and milking on Liam's cock. His own belly tightens. "Please, Liam, please, wanna feel you cum."

"Oh god WILLIAM!" Liam cries out, the tight squeezing pushing him over the edge as he explodes deep inside Spike as Spike buries his face in his own neck, crying out softly as he cums as well, warm seed splattering on their tightly pressed bellies. Spike's nails dig into Liam's back. "Oh yes, baby, yes," Liam moans as he feels Spike's cum shooting across them, still moving slowly inside Spike. "You're so fucking gorgeous, my baby boy."

Spike pulls back to look into Liam's eyes again. "You're the most wonderful man there ever was, Liam."

Liam shakes his head as he smiles. "That would be you, William."

"You really want me forever?"

Liam shakes his head again, looking intently into Spike's blue eyes. "Forever is not long enough."

Spike caresses his cheek. "It's so good, here in your arms. Like there's nothing else. No one else."

"There's no place else I want to be," Liam says honestly. "I never want to let you go, ever."

Spike kisses him tenderly. "You make me feel safe, make me feel... needed."

Liam grips the condom and slides gently, slowly, out of Spike, tossing it in the trashcan. He lies down beside Spike and pulls him tightly against his chest. "I need you, I love you," he says softly.

Spike snuggles into Liam's chest. "I love you. I never thought I could love anyone."

"You're not just saying it, are you William?" Liam asks softly, so afraid that this is some kind of dream.

"No." Spike's eyes tear up. "I'm not just saying it. I've never said it to anyone before."

"Oh William, my precious boy, don't cry," Liam says, stroking Spike's cheek softly. "I love you I love you I love you, please believe me."

"I believe you. I can't help but believe you. You make me feel so much." Spike sniffles a little as Liam strokes his cheek.

Liam kisses Spike's forehead, pressing his lips to it for several seconds before pulling away. "You make me feel more than I ever imagined possible."

Spike nods. "I just want to be with you. Always."

"You will be, you're mine, I will never let you go," Liam says softly, a bit of a possessive tone in his voice.

Spike lays his head down and rubs against his chest lightly with his fingers. "You're like the answer to every dream I ever had."

Liam smiles and caresses Spike's back gently, his fingers running down Spike's spine. "You say the most amazing things."

"No more than you." Spike shivers at the feel of Liam's hand on his back.

Liam smiles and kisses Spike's forehead. "Well, I try not to sound like a moron when I'm with you," he teases.

Spike chuckles. "I don't think you'd ever sound like a moron."

"Not even if I said something like 'I love Barry Manilow'?"

Spike grins. "I have a confession to make, I like him too."

"Shut up, you do not," Liam laughs, blushing slightly.

"I do. My mum loved him and made me listen to everything he did. I can sing most of them from memory."

Liam smiles and kisses Spike tenderly. "I don't think you'll ever cease to amaze me, baby boy."

Spike shivers and licks his lips. "You have no idea what it does to me when you call me baby boy."

"You don't think it's condescending or anything? Because I really like calling you that, William."

"No, it makes me feel precious and loved."

"You are, so much," Liam says sincerely, pulling Spike even closer if it's possible. He can't get enough of feeling Spike's body against his, the love completely surrounding them both.

"So what should I call you?" Spike asks with a wicked grin. He wriggles a bit, loving the feel of their skin sliding together.

"Not copper," Liam deadpans.

Spike laughs at that. "So what?"

"What do you wanna call me? I mean, I like it when you call me Liam, hardly anyone uses my first name," Liam says softly. "But I want you to call me whatever you like, baby boy."

"I think just Liam then. At least for now. I may think of something else later," Spike says with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

Liam chuckles and softly smacks Spike's ass. "Trouble maker."

Spike yelps and grins. "Always."

"Good thing you're mine then," Liam says with a smile, sliding his hands over Spike's firm ass. "It was so amazing being inside you," he whispers.

Spike moans and presses into Liam's hands and nods. "It was incredible for me. I actually felt you. Felt like you cared for me. Like it wasn't just a fuck."

"Oh god William, no. Not at all," Liam says softly, looking into Spike's eyes. "It was so much more to me."

"I've never had that. My first experience, my first sex, was tied to a bed in the bloody video."

"Oh my god, are you serious?" Liam asks, shocked. "I can't even imagine that," he says kindly, caressing Spike's back lovingly.

"I...I want to tell you now. Can I? About my family, why I left?"

"You can tell me anything and everything you want, baby boy. You're not going to scare me off," Liam says softly, looking into Spike's eyes. "But don't tell me anything you're not comfortable with, okay?"

Spike nods. "My da, he was a military man. He had rules for everything. And he could hurt you so many ways without leaving a mark. He did it to my mum, to me. I couldn't run away, he'd find me. That is till we came to America for a funeral of some relative of his. I waited till he was drunk and passed out and stole everything I could and headed here."

"Oh William," Liam says softly, feeling his heart breaking for the man he loves. "That's so fucked up."

Spike takes a deep breath, and continues. His face is almost expressionless, but everything is visible in his eyes. "The money lasted a little while. Then I was broke, and no way to work. I mean, not only was I a minor, but I'm also a bloody illegal. Then this man offers me a part in a movie. Good pay. I was stupid enough to take it. Next thing I know I'm bound and gagged to a bed and getting raped by a man dressed like a priest."

Liam can't even say anything; he feels tears sliding down his cheeks as he hugs Spike tightly. He shudders and wishes he could find those men, knowing exactly what he would do to them.

"After the first one, it got easier. I just... went away, and did it. Like a machine. And I found I could make money that way. I did the videos, then I turned tricks. But it was better than my father, and the hell he put me through every day." Spike burrows into Liam's chest.

Liam runs his fingers through Spike's hair, wanting nothing more than to make this better. This life he had to live for the short time of his existence, even being a cop, it's hard to hear. "I love you, baby boy," he says softly, his voice cracking slightly.

"I love you Liam. I don't know how you got inside, past it all, but you did. And I love you."

"Thank you, so much. It's your strength that let me in," Liam says softly, peppering Spike's face with little kisses. Spike whimpers at each of the kisses, his body trembling against Liam's. "It's okay, William, I'm here. No one will ever hurt you again, I swear it," Liam says firmly.

"It's just so frightening. Being open like this, letting myself feel."

Liam nods in understanding. "I get that, I really do. I can't ask you to give me something you're not ready to, but I'm here, I'm yours. When all this shit is over, you're moving in with me."

"You really want me with you? All the time?"

"Well, I mean, I'll still have to work, but, um, yeah. I do. I mean, assuming you want it too?"

"Yes. Though I don't know what I'll do to earn my keep."

"You want to know what I want you to do to earn your keep?" Liam asks softly.

"What's that?"

"Go to school, study hard. I can help you get citizenship here."

Spike smiles. "School? Really?" He looks a little dreamy. "I always liked school."

Liam smiles brightly. "I was afraid you'd think I was stupid for wanting that."

"Not at all. Though I'm way behind on school."

"That doesn't matter, baby boy. If you're not comfortable with the quote unquote normal schools, there are a plethora of private and alternative schools we can get you enrolled in."

Spike sighs softly. "You really are too good to me. That's almost like a normal life."

"There's no such thing as too good for you, William. I love you and I want to give you the life you deserve, if you'll let me."

"I want to let you. I want to be yours. You have no idea how lonely I've been."

Liam kisses Spike lovingly. "I had just resigned myself to a life of working too much and take out food, maybe the occasional roll in the sack but nothing deep. You've changed everything, baby boy, given me a life I never imagined I could have."

Spike looks up into his eyes. "I think you give me too much credit. I don't feel like I deserve all this."

"Then you're a big dummy," Liam says with a smile. "You deserve more than I'll probably ever be able to give you, but I'll try."

"You're just going to keep telling me I'm wonderful till I give in, aren't you?" Spike asks with a smile.

Liam laughs and nods. "You ARE a smart boy, aren't you?"

"So I've been told." Spike snuggles in closer.

"Good then, that's settled," Liam says with a smile, squeezing Spike tightly. "I love you so much, I didn't know I had anything but a bullet proof heart anymore."

"Will the other cops give you hell for taking in a hooker?"

"I could give a flying fuck. And you're NOT a hooker, you're William, my beautiful boy. The profession you fell into isn't who you are. I mean, I'm a cop, but it's not all that I am, especially when I'm with you. Know what I mean?"

"Got it." Spike lays his head on Liam's chest. "It's been like my shield, you know? The attitude, the act."

Liam gives a little snort and nods. "I totally get that. You should see me at work. Well, when I'm not around you, you just do something to me."

"I'm glad I do something to you."

"You do everything to me, baby boy," Liam says with a smile. "I love you, I adore you, I want you, I need you, I desire you, I feel you."

Spike shivers and kisses Liam's throat. "You make me melt with your voice, your words."

"You make me melt with your eyes, your mind. Not to mention you really are handsome," Liam says with a smile. Spike squirms a little at that and blushes. "I love your innocence," Liam says, touching the blush on Spike's cheeks.

"You make me feel that way. Like everything is fresh and new."

"It is, baby boy. For all intents and purposes, you gave your virginity to me," Liam says with a smile, blushing himself.

Spike looks into Liam's eyes. "I did. You were the first one I ever did it with for real. When I was here, and present, and feeling."

"Thank you," Liam says, touching Spike's face. "I love you so much, I want to take care of you."

Spike leans into Liam's touch. "I love you, Liam. I love you, I love you."

Liam closes his eyes and sighs happily, moving his hands over Spike's body softly. "You make me feel at peace, like we're the only things that exist."
