Chapter 16

Xander stepped on the elevator, happy to see Buffy already in the car. They hugged, and he pressed a kiss to her cheek. She smiled at him. “You’re up pretty early. How are you feeling?” There was concern in her voice. She was startled by his blinding smile. “I feel good.” She looked at him closely. “You look like a new man – you must have slept great.” He simply replied, “I did,” not sure how much he wanted to share with Buffy about his relationship with Spike. The elevator stopped, and Willow was waiting outside the door. As soon as she stepped onto the elevator, she hugged both of her friends. They exchanged greetings as they arrived at the lobby. Following the smell of coffee to the hotel’s kitchen, they found Cordelia and Dawn chatting at the table while the three children played at a smaller table.

The new arrivals greeted the kids, and then got themselves coffee and joined the two women. Xander looked around the table at the four beautiful women and felt right at home. He told them so, and they all smiled at him. “Who wants breakfast?” Xander asked. Even though it was nearly noon, and Dawn and Cordelia had breakfasted much earlier with the children, everyone agreed to at least have toast. Xander went to the huge refrigerator and started pulling out ingredients for omelets. The lively conversation kept up while Xander cracked eggs and chopped vegetables and threw bread in the toaster. They decided that shopping was the order of the day. Dawn revealed that Jase had offered to take all three kids to the park so Xander and his women could spend some time together in the afternoon.

Xander was getting ready to pour the eggs into the omelet pans when he heard Willow say “Awwww,” and giggle behind him. He looked over his shoulder and felt his heart repeat Willow’s sentiment. Spike had padded into the kitchen on bare feet, wearing black drawstring sleep pants and his gray sweater from the night before. His hair was sticking up all over his head, and he was rubbing his eyes with his fist like a child. He was absolutely adorable. He walked past the kids’ table and dropped a kiss on top of Sara’s head, and ruffled the twins’ hair. He wandered to the refrigerator and pulled out a bag of blood, tossing it into the microwave to heat. He leaned against the wall and rubbed his hands over his face. When he looked up, the four women and his beautiful, dark-haired lover were all looking at him with soft expressions. He tried to scowl, but the look dissolved into a shy smile. “Morning, ladies, Xan.”

Xander replied, “Hey, Will. Hungry?” Spike nodded, “Starving. Then I’m going back to bed. These human hours will kill ya.” The microwave dinged, and he retrieved his blood and poured it into a mug. He slapped Xander lightly on the ass and strolled over to the table, hooking a chair with one foot and turning it around to straddle it, resting one arm on the chair back. By the time Xander started carrying plates to the table, Spike and the women were discussing the upcoming shopping trip in an animated fashion. Xander turned his attention to his plate and steadily worked his way through an enormous omelet and four pieces of toast. By the time he raised his head from his plate, the conversation had stopped and everyone was looking at him. “What?” he asked, defensively.

“I guess some things never do change,” Willow observed dryly. Xander’s only reply was to pilfer her last half-piece of toast from her plate and eat it in one bite. They agreed to meet at the car in a half-hour for the shopping trip, and Dawn and Cordelia offered to see to the dishes and turn the kids over to Jase. Xander, Spike, Willow and Buffy all headed for the elevator.

As the elevator door closed and left the fifth floor, Xander spun Spike around and pinned him to the corridor wall. Blue eyes widened for a second, and then crinkled with Spike’s smile. Xander leaned in, but stopped with his lips a fraction of an inch from Spike’s. “Will?” he said, “Do you have any idea how fucking hot you looked when you came into the kitchen this morning?” His voice was a low, sensual growl, and he looked deeply into Spike’s eyes. “Do you have any idea how badly I wanted to just grab you and throw you over the kitchen table, right there in front of everybody and show you how hot I think you are?” For emphasis, Xander pressed his erection against the front of Spike’s sleep pants, which now sported a sizeable one of their own. Xander repeated the action again and again, but still didn’t close the distance between their lips. He waited. He watched the blue eyes of his lover cloud over and lose focus as the lengths of their erections rubbed together. Spike’s pointed tongue came out to moisten his lips, and he whispered, “What was the question, again?” Xander replied, “Fuck if I know,” and finally kissed the vampire.

Spike tore his lips away from Xander’s and pushed him back. Xander fought to stay close, and Spike whispered, “Room, luv. Get back in the room. Now. Please.” They scrambled to the door, and Xander fumbled with his key. As soon as they were inside the door, they were kissing and pulling off clothing and stumbling toward Spike’s bedroom. Xander pushed Spike to the edge of the bed and then onto it, pulling the black sleep pants from his body as he fell. He stripped off his own jeans and lay down, positioning them so that they were head-to-feet. Spike caught on right away, and in one smooth motion captured his lover’s cock in his mouth and swallowed it all the way down to the root. Xander’s mouth opened with a strangled yelp, and Spike’s hardness was right there. He licked firmly around the dripping head, and then took as much of the straining flesh as he could into his mouth.

Spike rolled them over so that he was positioned beneath Xander, giving the human more control, and hoping that gravity would assist him in fighting the urge to thrust deeply into his lover’s mouth. This position also allowed Xander to thrust as deeply as he wanted to, and Spike was suddenly very happy that he didn’t have to breathe as Xander did just that, fucking his mouth in long, hard strokes.

Xander felt something against his hand, and fumbled for it. He’d found the tube of lubricant from the night before. Not releasing his tight suction on Spike’s cock, he opened the tube and slicked his fingers. Seconds later he was brushing those fingers against the tight opening to Spike’s body. Groaning, the vampire spread his legs, allowing Xander full access. The groan intensified when Xander worked a finger inside and began to pump it in and out of the snug channel. He added a second, and then a third, marveling at the clench and play of slick internal muscles, and the hot sounds that were coming out of the mouth he was fucking. He felt himself tensing and knew that his orgasm was near. Wanting them to come together, he intensified the suction on the hard flesh in his mouth and worked his fingers faster. As he felt his balls draw up tightly, signaling his impending release, Xander crooked his fingers and pressed hard against Spike’s prostate. Each man bucked into the other’s mouth as they came.

Ten minutes later, hands washed and teeth brushed, Xander boarded the elevator, remembering the soft kiss he had received as he’d tucked the sleepy vampire into his bed, soothing him off to sleep with the promise of presents from the upcoming shopping trip.
