The boy was tomato red and fidgety. Xander wouldn’t look him in the eye and kept shifting his weight from one foot to the other. Spike looked him up and down, trying not to smile as he noticed just how hard Xander had become.

"Keeping secrets, Xander, luv? I thought the idea of anyone having sex with me made you sick. But you weren’t sick, were you? You were jealous." Spike looked at the boy, his blue eyes wide with astonishment as he realized why Xander had been so furious with him. The last wasn’t really a question but Xander confirmed it when he finally locked eyes with the vampire. Spike saw the fear and the frustration in Xander’s eyes.

"Yes! Fine! I was jealous, you happy now?" He looked humiliated.

"How long?" Spike demanded.

"What? How long?" Xander looked bewildered.

"How long have you thought about..." Spike gestured to his bed.

"Why? What does it matter now? Can’t you smell stuff on people? When they’re aroused or whatever? You should already know the answer to how long I’ve wanted to...be with you." Xander looked so uncomfortable that Spike wanted to reassure him, but he also wanted the answer to his question. Xander had always been a horny teenager and it had been hard to know if the boy had wanted him or the Slayer or the cheerleader or even Red before she discovered that she preferred the ladies. He needed to know who exactly Xander wanted...now.

"I want to hear it from you, Harris, answer the bloody question already!" Spike growled, "How long have you wanted to get me in the sack?"

"Since that night in the school with Angel, okay? He asked if you wanted a bite before fighting Buffy. I was the bite he was offering up." Xander’s words sparked a memory and Spike growled softly as it flashed through his mind. Angel had dragged Xander up to Spike, offering his neck for a taste. He also recalled Xander’s words tinged with betrayal when the mortal thought Angel was evil. ‘I knew you were lying...undead liar guy.’ and Angel’s seductive offer. ‘Wanna bite before we kill her?’ Spike’s eyes flashed gold at the memory of the scent of Xander’s fear and a little something else just beneath the surface of that.

"I remember. You always were the nummy little treat, weren’t you, pet?" He saw Xander’s Adam’s apple bob as the boy swallowed hard at his words.

"You didn’t bite me. You were too pissed that Angel was faking. You punched him and called him your ‘Yoda’. He thought you’d believe he was Angelus. I could have told him it wouldn’t work, but he didn’t give me a chance. I was just the bait to him." Xander knew that he was beginning to ramble, but he was too busy trying to will away his erection. He dropped his gaze to his feet. When he looked up again, he nearly screamed, jumping out of his skin. Spike was less than two feet in front of him. "Jesus! Spike, don’t do that! "Creepy vampire guy’ kind of makes me nervous." Spike moved with vampire speed, licking a trail up Xander’s throat, making the boy moan and throw his head back. Xander’s eyes fluttered closed.

"My nummy treat...moist and delicious...mmmmmm...too right you were, pet." Spike purred, nuzzling Xander’s neck. Xander gasped and his cock twitched as Spike bit the sensitive flesh with blunt teeth.

"Spike..." Xander moaned, shuddering as goosebumps covered his body. Spike flicked one of Xander’s pebbled nipples with his thumb, smiling as the human whimpered. "Spike...please..."

"You remember that night, too, don’t you, pet? When the Watcher’s friend came and you tied me up." Xander blushed and Spike chuckled. "Such a dirty mind, Xanpet. You tied me to the chair next to your bed and called yourself ‘moist and delicious’. I didn’t sleep at all, I couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen if I broke free and slid into bed with you, if I slid my body against yours ." Xander began to pant as he began to visualize Spike’s fantasy. He whimpered again as heat pooled in his groin. Suddenly, Spike swore and moved away. "Get dressed! Buffy’s here!" Two seconds later, a loud pounding began on Spike’s crypt door. "Bloody hell! I’m not deaf, girl! I’m also not decent!" Xander hurriedly pulled on his jeans, forgoing his boxers and searched frantically for his blue shirt. He found it and started to button it up.

"Open the fucking door, Spike! I’ve seen you naked before! If this door isn’t opened in the next five seconds, I’m going to break it down!" Buffy shouted.

"Oh, for..." Spike spluttered, yanking on his jeans, giving Xander an apologetic shrug. They both jumped as a horrendous sounding thud filled the crypt. The door made a creaking sound and fell in, landing on the floor with a deafening crash. "Are you out of your ever loving mind, Slayer? I just got this place fixed back up! She bloody well killed my door." Buffy stormed in and came to a screeching halt as she realized a couple of things. One, Spike had just said he wasn’t decent, but the only other person in the crypt was Xander. Two, Xander didn’t have socks or shoes on and his hair was mussed. Three, both of the men were rumpled with wet, swollen lips and the whole room smelled of sex.

"Oh. My. God." Buffy looked wildly from one man to the other. "You...hypocrite!" She whirled on Xander. "You have some nerve making me feel guilty for screwing Spike! And you!" She poked Spike in the chest hard. "You say you’re in love with me and then you go off and you fuck Anya and in the same night...you fuck Xander...no remorse...no guilt whatsoever!" She was so angry that she didn’t catch the look that passed between the two men. "If you didn’t have that chip, you’d be blowin’ in the wind! I thought you might just be different, but you’re just like..."

"Don’t say it, Slayer...don’t compare me to him!" Spike warned, knowing she was going to go off on some tangent about Angel. Buffy had been devastated when she had learned that Angel had fallen for Cordelia, even though she had been involved with other people too.

"You are just like every other male on this planet! Including Angel! God, you’re nothing but a bunch of liars and cheaters and ARGGGHHHHH!" She finished with a loud, long, frustrated scream as she turned and ran from the crypt. Spike massaged his ears one at a time and looked over at Xander who was still wincing.

"No one can say that the Summers women don’t have good lungs." Xander said. Spike snorted. "So, uh, you gonna go after her?"

"What for? So she can tell me again what a worthless loser she thinks I am? No, I think I’ll finally give her that breathing room she’s been bitching about. You can go after her if you want to." Spike turned and grabbed his pack of cigarettes. Feeling dismissed, Xander narrowed his eyes at the vampire. When Spike turned around, Xander was glaring at him, hands on his hips. "Wot?"

"You are such a man." Xander gave a frustrated sigh and grabbed the rest of his clothes. He turned, gave Spike an exasperated look, and turned to leave.

"I’m a vampire. I’m not a man anymore." Spike said, his voice a bit colder than he meant for it to be.

"Vampire. Man. You’re an ass no matter what you are. I’m going home." Xander walked toward the doorway, but found Spike blocking his way.

"Oi! The hell you are! Not until we talk about the bug you suddenly have up your bum!" Spike’s features appeared sharper as the muscles in his neck and face tightened in irritation. He saw Xander look at the door and back to Spike and back to the bed and back to the door again. He frowned, a thought hit him and a look of horror crossed his face. "Son of a bitch! You’re still in love with her!"

"I’ll always love her, I was going to marry her, for God’s..." Xander began.

"Not the demon girl! Buffy! You’re hot for the Slayer!" Spike was practically spitting blood. "You come in here, rape me, make me all hot for you, bugger me, and you’re in love with Buffy!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I am not in love with Buffy! You think I would marry Anya if I was in love with someone else?"

"You didn’t marry Anya, whelp! You’re in love with Supergirl." Spike sneered. The thought of Xander kissing or even touching another person made Spike sick.

"I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" The words echoed loudly off the crypt walls and the two men stood there and stared at each other.
