"You guys have some tight weapons," Gunn said, holding up one of the swords Angel had been given. He had been looking over not only Angel and Spike's collection but Wesley's as well while Alana, Wesley and Angel watched.

"Yeah, it's all we could think of to get vampires...that and leather." Dawn pointed out, sitting next to Joey and giving him her most flirtatious smile, just like Cordelia had taught her. She was happy to see that Cordy's advice had been dead on. The boy flushed with happiness before returning the smile but it quickly faded when a blonde vampire sat down in between them, which was very hard considering how close the two of them had been sitting. Joey looked at the vampire, who was flashing him what could only be described as a cross between a snarl and a smirk. Spike held up the axe Xander had given him.

"My boy made this for me," Spike stated proudly, eyeing Joey with interest. He didn't like all the flirting that had been going on between the two kids and in his mind it was time to put a stop to it once and for all. "Innit it neat? Feel how sharp the blade is." Spike held it in front of Joey's face, waiting for the boy to touch it. When he didn't, Spike nudged him. "Go ahead...feel it. I might bite but it doesn't." Joey tentatively ran his finger across the blade, knicking it a little.

"Damn, that is...."

"Bet it could cut through anything. Bad ass demons, slimy creatures of the night....daft humans that piss me off. What do you think?" Dawn smacked the vampire on the back of the head.

"Spike, stop it. Joey's felt it...now. Go. Away." Spike grinned at the girl who was giving him a dirty look.

"I was just bein' nice to the lad. No need to be shirty."

"Shirty? Is that even a word?" Dawn asked as Spike turned his attention back to Joey.

"Yeah, I bet this axe could cut through bones, muscles, cartilage without leaving anything hanging. See, my old axe used to leave bits dangling and not the good kind if you know what I mean." A raise of an eyebrow. "I could probably swing this thing and take someone's head clean off if I had a mind to."

"Spike...." Dawn warned.

"Good thing I don't feel like it, huh? I've already done that once today so it could get boring, don't you think?" Joey's eyes widened with fear and he gulped as Spike lowered the axe, resting it close to the boy's leg and other certain parts of his body that Joey was sure he didn't want to lose...not before he'd ever used it anyway. He heard the vampire laugh. "Who am I kidding? I love causing bloody mayhem...being a vampire and all. Yeah, I love me a good round of violence and sex. Course there are other parts of the anatomy that could be taken off with this...just to make it interestin'...if anyone gave me a good reason to...."

"Spike! Overdoing the protective vampire bit much." Dawn scolded. She and Joey both tried to get Gunn's and Angel's attention but the two of them were busy looking at the sword. Joey saw that Alana was busy flirting with Wesley and gave up hope for any help while Dawn scanned the room searching for Xander. She glared at her friends who were sitting around the room not bothering to help her out. Instead they were trying to hide their amusement at Spike's antics. "Where's Xander?"

"He went to the bathroom. He should be back in a few minutes." Cordelia told her.

"Great...just great." Dawn sighed. Where was help when you needed it? She listened as Spike continued to harass the boy.

"Yeah, one good reason is all it would take....like say, oh, I don't know....touching, hurting or even looking at someone in my family the wrong way. Gotta protect my family. You know how it is."

"Oh, I'm sure nobody'd be that stupid." Joey assured him. Spike patted him on the head before placing his hand back on the axe.

"You seem like a nice enough lad. And smart, too. I'm sure you understand what I'm talkin' about, right?" Joey nodded his head. "Good...wouldn't want to have to hurt you cause I think you're a little bit of alright." Spike set the axe to the side and Joey let out a sigh of relief, grateful he had passed the vampire's test. "Come to think of it....I'm a little hungry. Aren't you hungry, Joey?" Now the fear was back, full scale.

"No...no, sir." The boy managed to say, wondering when he had gone from being a 'little bit of alright' to 'food'.

"What? A growing boy like you and you wouldn't like a little dessert?" Joey shook his head. "I used to love dessert. In the old days I probably would have eaten....dessert by now." Spike looked the boy up and down, his eyes resting on the blood welling up on Joey's finger. Joey noticed, quickly hiding his hand behind his back.

"Course now that you're with Angel and Xander you have to be careful what you try putting in your mouth, Spike. I'm sure they wouldn't like your choice of....dessert." Dawn warned him. Spike thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"I don't know. They love me you know. Wouldn't want to see me starve or anything, now would they? Tummy's making all kinds of gurglies. Maybe I ought to just feed on whatever's around...even if it doesn't sit well with them. Joey, do you work out?" Dawn opened her mouth to yell at Angel when Spike was hauled up by the arm and pulled away from the two of them. She looked up to see Xander smiling apologetically while everyone else started to laugh.

"Uh, excuse us for a minute. I'm just going to take Spike in the kitchen and get him some dessert seeing as he's so hungry."

"Yeah....one guess what dessert will be." Cordelia quipped before Spike turned towards them, a broad smile on his face.

"Do we have any whipped cream?" Xander swatted him on the shoulder, pulling him into the kitchen. Dawn watched their antics before sighing.

"So not fair. Spike wants to threaten anyone I'm interested in and he and Xander are probably in the kitchen having sex." A blush crossed her face as she realized what she had just said. She turned to see Joey smiling at her. "I'm sorry...I was just...when I said interested....Oh, God I'm so embarrassed."

"Don't be. The feeling's mutual." Joey assured her, causing Dawn to blush more. "That is, if Spike's okay with it." The boy was quick to add.

"Don't worry about Spike or Angel for that matter." Cordelia assured the boy. "They're just really overprotective. I think it has something to do with being vampires. They're all grrr and no teeth....well, unless you really did hurt Dawn. But I'm sure you won't. Right?" Joey nodded as Cordelia turned to Willow and Tara. "That's why I never brought anyone I liked around before Doyle and I got together. Angel was always embarrassing me with his third degrees of my dates and Doyle was...."

"Jealous. I'll admit it. I hated every one of those saps you brought around, especially the rich kid....what was his name? Christopher Wilson?"

"It was Wilson Christopher." Cordelia corrected him, gaining Wesley's attention now.

"No! You dated the ethnoarcheologist from Brandites?" Cordelia rolled her eyes.

"The fashion photographer from L. A. who ended up impregnating me with his demon spawn. I slept with him and the next morning I ended up pregnant."

"What?" Willow choked on the cracker she was eating. "Did you say pregnant?"

"Yeah, that's what happens when you sleep with someone you barely know." Doyle told them, causing Cordy to hit him.

"How was I supposed to know he was working for some big demon thingy that used good looking men to get girls pregnant?" Doyle shrugged, rubbing his arm as Cordy turned back towards the women. "I'm telling you....L.A. is almost as bad as Sunnydale. You wouldn't believe some of the...." Cordy's rant was cut off when Doyle clutched her arm, his other hand going to his forehead. "Uh, oh...vision." While the visions weren't nearly as bad as they used to be they still bothered Doyle from time to time...depending on the urgency of the call or how bad the situation was.

"Did you say Doyle was having a vision?" Wesley's voice was tinged with excitement. "Maybe I'll get to use my new Bavarian fighting axe. Perhaps Spike and Angel will need my help in the battle against evil." He gave Alana his best version of a rakish smile, swinging his axe over his head in a manly gesture only to end up embedding said axe into the wall.

"No, this is so not fair. Can't evil take a night off for Christmas?" Cordelia grumbled.

"What did you see, Doyle?" Angel asked. He and Gunn had stopped talking when the older vampire saw Wesley's axe go into his wall and now he was listening intently as Doyle described his vision.

"A thing...like a big baby hatching from a big egg with really large hands in need of a manicure." Now all three men stared at Doyle who smiled at them. "Sorry...Cordy's influence and all."

"Where was it?" Angel asked.

"Uh...I'm pretty sure the address was 23 Cabrillo Drive." Angel nodded, grabbing his coat as he searched the room for Spike. "Where's Spike?"

"In the kitchen having 'dessert'," Dawn's fingers air quoted the word, "with Xander." Just then the younger vampire emerged from the kitchen, dragging a bewildered Xander behind him.

"Whatever it is....take a message." Spike held up the can of whipped cream he was holding and went into the bedroom, pulling Xander inside.

"Spike, you can't take a message from the PTB." Doyle called out to him. "You have to answer."

"Got an answer for them. Tell the wankers I'm busy," Spike yelled before shutting the door.

"Damn...Why do I always have to be the 'good' one?" Angel grumbled, turning to head for the door. Gunn and Wesley stopped him.

"Need some backup cause I feel like a good fight." Gunn's face lit up at the thought.

"When don't you feel like fighting?" Alana asked him as Angel handed him a sword.

"I'd like to go as well....that is, if you need me." Wesley offered. When Angel nodded his head, Wesley reached for his axe, trying to pull it from the wall. Angel and Gunn stopped at the door, waiting for the other man who was talking to Alana.

"I'll be back..." Wesley began pulling on the axe, "as soon as we slay..." Another tug. "this new," Wesley didn't notice the axe had come free. He fell to the floor, axe in hand. "evil." Wesley grinned at the girl before rushing over to the door to join the two men. Gunn laughed as he pointed at Wesley.

"This guy actually helps?"

"Wes is a good fighter when he's not....distracted." Angel replied, taking up for his friend as the three men left the apartment, weapons in hand. ***************************************

Spike had pulled Xander into the bedroom and had him pinned up against the wall before the boy knew what was happening. One moment they had been in the kitchen, Xander chastising the vampire for being mean to Dawn and Joey and the next minute he was being kissed within an inch of his life. His mind had gone off course and Spike had pulled him through the living room, the only thing Xander remembering was Doyle saying something about the PTB.

"Did Doyle have a vision?" Xander asked, trying to keep Spike's lips off his long enough to ask the question.

"Angel and the others can handle it."

"But what if it's important?" Xander was still dodging Spike's kisses. Spike threw the can of whipped cream on the bed, taking Xander's face in his hands and holding him still. He stared into the boy's brown eyes.

"I'm having a vision myself." Spike put his hand to his head, the other still holding Xander's face. Xander couldn't help but grin when he saw the cute frown Spike had on his face while he acted as if he was concentrating hard. "I see...yes, it's you and me, luv and we're....oh, we're lying on the bed....."

"Are we dead, asleep, unconscious...."

"No, we're wide awake, naked and there's a can of whipped cream involved. I can hear....wait a minute....what was that?.....I'm saying 'I'm going to shag you into the mattress' and you're saying...no, you're moaning, 'Please, Spike do it. Fuck me till I can't stand up.' Guess we better get started seein' as how those PTB people don't like to be kept waiting." Spike leaned forward, taking Xander's mouth with his. Xander wrapped his arms around Spike's neck, his lips parting to invite the vampire's tongue in. Spike deepened the kiss, his hands now unbuttoning Xander's jeans. When Xander heard the sound of the zipper he broke the kiss.

"Are you sure it was us?" Spike nodded, pulling Xander's shirt off of him. "And you're positive you were the one doing the shagging and I was the one begging for more?" Now Xander pulled Spike's shirt off, his hands reaching for the blonde's jeans. As he undid the button and slid the zipper down, Spike smiled and nodded, stepping out of his jeans while Xander did the same, neither one of them taking their eyes off the other. "Are you completely, absolutely without a doubt sure that was involved?" Xander pointed at the can and again Spike nodded. "Spike...you didn't even look."

"Don't have to. I was the one who brought it in here in the first place and the one who had the vision....guess I oughta know it's whipped cream."

"If you know so much...what kind of whipped cream was it?" Spike frowned.

"What do you mean...whipped cream is whipped cream." He tried to pull Xander to him but the boy ducked out of the way.

"No, it's not. There's Redi-Whip, Cool Whip, generic....." Another dodge and Spike was getting irritated.

"Fucking hell, Xander. I don't read the soddin' labels. What are you going to ask me next? How many calories are in a can, the expiration date...."

"Were there handcuffs and a blindfold in this vision of yours?" Xander rummaged through the bedside drawer, pulling out the aforementioned items and dangling them in front of Spike. Now Spike was grinning again.

"Oh, I get it. You want to play master and slave again, do you?" Spike's tongue came out to touch his top lip as Xander struck his best 'come hither' pose. " Well, get your pretty arse on the bed and- ---" Xander pushed Spike down onto the bed, quickly handcuffing his left hand to the bedpost before the vampire could protest. Spike had been so busy toying with the boy and watching his response that he hadn't noticed Xander make his move. "Getting sneaky aren't you?"

"I've learned from the best." Xander leaned over Spike and handcuffed the vampire's other hand. He twirled the blindfold between his hands while Spike shook his head.

"No blindfold, Xander. I want to look into your eyes when you fuck me."

"Make love to you, Spike." Xander corrected him, leaning down and giving Spike a kiss. Spike was so lost in the kiss that he didn't realize Xander had snaked the blindfold in between them and was now tying it behind his head. He broke the kiss to protest but Xander put his finger to his lips. "The blindfold stays on. You were a bad, bad vampire and now you have to be punished."

"What did I do?" Spike tried to act innocent.

"You have to be taught that you don't make jokes about eating people in this house." Another kiss.

"What if it's about me eating you?" Spike asked, feeling Xander's body tremble above him. Two could play the seduction game and Spike was confident he could beat Xander at this...after all, seduction was his middle name. "Put your cock next to my mouth and I'll have you screaming my name in no time, luv." Another tremor and Spike felt Xander moving on the bed. He parted his lips, waiting for his treat but got a different one than what he thought. Instead of Xander's cock it was the boy's warm mouth, his tongue devouring Spike's mouth as the vampire groaned.

"I love kissing you. Don't you want to kiss me?" Xander murmured against Spike's lips.

"God, yes." Another mind numbing kiss ensued followed by Xander running his tongue over Spike's lips and across his cheeks. He felt the boy's warm breath on his neck and heard Xander whispering to him.

"Did you like the feel of my tongue all over your lips and your cheek? Can you feel my lips and my hot breath on your neck and your earlobe?" Xander nuzzled Spike's neck before kissing the lobe of his ear and Spike could only nod, the sensation of feeling and not being able to see or touch Xander making him crazy with desire. Now Xander was nibbling on his ear, worrying the edge with his teeth and Spike was moaning, loving the way his boy was playing with him. "Did you like that?"

"Loved it. Love everything about you." Spike groaned. He felt Xander raise up, felt the boy's arms on either side of his head and knew Xander was staring down at him. He pictured Xander's brown eyes filled with love and lust and he shivered at the thought. Xander laughed softly before placing another gentle kiss on Spike's mouth.

"Now that I've gotten your attention, you need to listen to me. I want you to do what I tell you to...otherwise, I'm going to get dressed and leave you here like this understand?" Spike nodded, his cock twitching at the masterful tone in Xander's voice and he made a mental note to have Xander on top more often. "I'm going to lift my chin so you can kiss my neck and I want you to run your mouth very, very slowly down my neck, over and across my chest." Spike felt Xander lean forward and he stuck his tongue out, finding the sweet taste of his boy. He did what Xander asked and heard the boy moan as he arched towards him. "I want to get closer cause it feels soooo good. Know what I'm gonna do to you now?"

"Tell me, luv." Spike whispered before licking Xander's throat again.

"I'm gonna kiss your face...worship every inch of it." Spike sighed as Xander did just that, making sure not to miss a spot. "Now, it's time for me to kiss your mouth." Spike felt Xander's fingertip trace the outline of his mouth. "God, how I love this mouth. The things it does to me, how it makes me feel. The words of love that pass through it." Xander's lips touched his, reverently at first then harder and with more passion. Spike raised his head, trying to deepen the kiss and felt Xander's hands playing with his hair. The kiss seemed to go on forever before Xander finally pulled away, his breath coming in harsh gasps. He rubbed his leaking erection over Spike's stomach. "Feel what your kisses do to me, Spike?" Spike nodded, enjoying Xander playing with his hair. He leaned into the boy's touch, relishing each moment. "I love your hair like this...so soft and wavy....so fucking beautiful." Xander pulled Spike's head forward and the vampire felt the boy's chest next to his face. "I'm putting your mouth next to my nipple. I want you to take it in your mouth; just run your tongue around it and suck on it." Spike smiled before licking around Xander's nipple. When it was hard he took it into his mouth and suckled on it as the boy writhed above him. "Oh, fuck I love that...don't stop."

"Wasn't planning on it, luv. You taste so good." Spike murmured before worrying the hardened nub some more. Xander pulled away, placing his other nipple in front of Spike so that it could get the same attention.

"Oh, you're being such a good lover...need to reward you." Spike continued playing with Xander's nipple until the boy started to climb further up his body. He felt Xander's lean stomach above him and started to lick, finding the boy's naval. He flicked his tongue in and out before kissing the skin above it. Spike started to suck on Xander's abdomen and almost bit down when he felt Xander's toes running up the inside of his leg, the top of Xander's knee caressing his balls and hardened shaft.

"Shit...Xander, luv....quit teasing me." Spike groaned. He felt Xander start to slide down his body again, the boy stopping to kiss Spike again before making his way down his chest. Xander straddled Spike making sure the vampire's erection was between his ass cheeks. Spike groaned again when he felt Xander clench his muscles making his ass tighten around Spike's throbbing cock.

"I've only just begun," Xander teased, reaching over and grabbing the can of whipped cream. As he shook it, he thought about what he had said. "There's a song like that isn't there?"

"Luv, don't..." Spike was interrupted by Xander's singing.

I've only just begun to play Whipped cream can in my hand, a kiss for luck And I'm on my way. I've only begun Before the night is through I'll try to have you scream my name, I'll start out slowly and then you'll cum. And yet I've just begun. Sharing experiences that are new to us, You moaning my name along the way Over and over I'll hear you say Fuck me Xander please fuck me please forever And when the whipped cream's gone We'll smile Knowing there's more fun ahead, I'll find a place for your cock to go...and yes I've just begun.

While Xander had been singing he had been spraying the whipped cream over Spike's body while the vampire laughed at the made up words to the song. Now Xander sat back admiring the view. He had written an X along Spike's chest, each line going across a nipple. Next was a heart followed by an S that trailed to the lovely prize below. This was going to be very fun...very fun indeed.

"Xander....luv....what are you doing?" Spike asked, wondering why the boy was so still and quiet. Was he upset because Spike had laughed at his song? Spike felt Xander move away, felt the bed move as the boy got up, heard his lover walking away. "Xan, come back here. I wasn't laughing at you....I was thinking I would never be able to listen to the soddin' Carpenters again without getting hard...and that's a disturbing thought." The room was quiet and Spike was getting worried now. "Come on back, luv. Xander? You're not going to leave me here like this are you...all bloody hard and sticky?" He heard the sound of a drawer opening and closing followed by the sound of Xander's footsteps and then a click...another click...and Xander was setting something down on the bedside table. The bed dipped as Xander straddled him once again.

"Just wanted to take a picture of my artwork. Hey! Maybe I can have the picture enlarged and Angel can hang this one up over his desk....that way he and Cordy won't argue over the other one." Xander paused for a moment. "No, that won't work. Cordy would probably want this one more than the group portrait. Well, I took two so maybe...."

"Maybe you should get on with it since I'm so fuckin' horny." Spike growled, arching up towards his lover, his body seeking the warmth of his boy. "You're killin' me, Xan."

"Already dead, Spike."

"Xander, this is torture." Spike's tone let Xander know he was more than ready to continue what they had started earlier.

"Told you I was going to punish you." Xander raised up and leaned over, making sure not to mess his art work up. He licked Spike's left arm, starting at his armpit and making his way to the vampire's wrist and then back down again before doing the right one. Next came kisses along the neck, on the ears, cheeks, forehead and finally Spike's nose. When he got to Spike's mouth, he noticed the vampire's lips were parted as if he were trying to breathe.

"Love it when I make you breathe," Xander whispered against Spike's mouth, nibbling along the bottom lip before taking Spike's mouth in a passionate kiss. "Wish you could see how beautiful you look right now."

"Take this blindfold off and I can." Spike told him, but Xander shook his head, their noses rubbing together.

"Vampire...no reflection. You can't trick me."

"I was talking about seeing myself through your eyes." Spike told him, earning himself another kiss.

"Can't get to me with your pretty words...nuh uh, not till later. See, I've got plans for you. First I'm gonna lick the whipped cream off your body and you have to guess what I wrote. Just concentrate on where my tongue is going, try to picture it in your mind." Spike groaned, the image of Xander's tongue laving his body making him want to come. Xander took his time, lapping at the whipped cream on Spike's chest, tracing the X up and down, stopping to suck on Spike's hardened nipples. When he was done, he gave Spike a kiss. "What letter was that?"

"You're doing that to my body and you expect me to be reciting the fucking alphabet?" Spike couldn't believe Xander was asking him a question like that. All his mind could register was how good Xander's tongue felt, how the boy had made him tingle with desire when he had sucked on his nipples, how much he wanted Xander right now.....hell, forever. Xander laughed.

"It was an X...for Xander. And there's a heart underneath it. That's what I'm going to lick off now." That being said Xander began swirling his tongue around the heart, not stopping until the image was gone. By now Spike was going crazy with need, his arms sore from trying to get free of the handcuffs so he could throw the boy on the bed and shag him silly. "Now comes the fun part. The next letter....the S for Spike." Xander's warm tongue mapped out the S, starting at the top and winding his way down to Spike's cock and then going back up again. Every time Xander came close to Spike's leaking erection, the vampire would beg for Xander to forget about the whipped cream but the boy would only shake his head before making his way back up Spike's body. Finally, Xander moved down Spike's body, taking the vampire's cock in his hand and Spike sighed with relief as he pushed up into the boy's hand feeling the much needed friction. Xander put his free hand on Spike's hip, stopping his movement.

"Lay still, baby." Xander stroked Spike's erection, liking the way the vampire was reacting to his teasing and admiring the play of muscles along Spike's chest as he pulled on the handcuffs. "Spike...your body is so gorgeous and your dick is so hard for me. I want to taste it, put it in my mouth and suck you dry." Spike groaned, knowing he wasn't going to last long. He let out a long moan of satisfaction when he felt Xander's warm tongue on the underside of his cock. Xander ran his tongue up and down the hard shaft, swirling it around the head and dipping into the slit to lap up the pre-cum before licking down the erection again. "Now I'm going to stroke your cock while I lick that fun spot...you know, the one between your balls and your ass. Gonna make you feel so good." Xander's hand was stroking Spike in rhythm to his licks and Spike could feel his balls tightening, knowing he was going to go over the edge.

"Xander....Xander....gonna come!" Spike screamed, his semen splashing over Xander's hand and landing on his chest. Xander never stopped what he was doing, dragging Spike's orgasm out as long as possible. He loved seeing Spike like this, his body arching up, only his shoulders and feet still on the bed...a look of sheer ecstasy on his face. Spike's orgasm came to an end and the vampire fell back onto the bed, gasping for air that he didn't need. "God, Xander the things you do to me."

"Just want to please my master. And I'm not finished yet." Even after such an intense orgasm, Spike's cock twitched at the sound of Xander calling him master. Xander crawled up the bed, taking the blindfold off. He smiled down into the blue eyes that were dark with desire. "I want to take the blindfold off so I can look into your eyes when I take you." Another twitch. "I want to feel your hands touching me, I want you to hold me as I make you come again. I'm going to take the handcuffs off but only if you promise me I get to make love to you." Spike nodded and Xander reached for the key, undoing the right cuff and then the left. He threw the restraints to the side and smiled when Spike's hands reached out to pull him down. He got lost in the kiss, Spike's hands roaming his body while his tongue took possession of Xander's mouth. When they parted it was Xander's turn to gasp.

"Liked that pet?" Xander nodded before Spike resumed the kissing, both of them loving the taste and feel of each other. When they broke the kiss, Xander moved back so that he could gather Spike's semen from his chest adding it to what was already on his hand. He took his own cock in his hand, rubbing the cum onto himself before dipping his fingers into it. He took Spike's cock into his mouth once again, his finger trailing behind and finding the tight, pink hole that was begging to be fucked. Spike's cock began to harden and his legs parted, allowing Xander's cum soaked fingers to slide easily into his spasming hole. By the time the third finger was in, Spike had placed his leg on top of Xander's shoulder and was begging to be fucked.

"Please, luv, do it." Xander took his cock in his hand, rubbing it along the entrance before pushing into Spike both of them moaning with desire. "Spike, you feel so good....so tight. Love how your ass sucks me inside."

"Oh, fuck yes. I can feel your dick stretching me inside. Push it all the way in...want to feel your balls against my ass!" Spike's fingers were digging into Xander's arms, urging the boy on. Xander couldn't tease any longer....it had been hard for him to hold out this long. He started thrusting in and out of Spike, finding the vampire's prostate. "Oh, yes....God, yes." Spike felt as if he were burning up inside...the warmth of Xander's cock, the passion and love overcoming him. He looked up into Xander's lust filled eyes, happy that the boy had taken the blindfold off. Xander was beautiful like this....his body sheened with sweat, his eyes mirroring the love he felt for Spike....love like Spike had never seen or felt before. It was as if his whole body was being consumed by those eyes.

"Spike....Spike....Oh, yes....I'm coming inside you!" Xander's orgasm swept over him like a tidal wave and it was all he could do to keep himself upright.

"Oh, fuck I can feel you shooting into me. Oh, oh, that's sooo good!" Spike yelled as he fell over the edge, neither one of them taking their eyes off of each other. When it was over, Xander collapsed on top of Spike, his breathing ragged, heart pounding. Spike held him close, kissing the top of his head as he ran his fingers through Xander's damp locks trying to calm the boy. After a few minutes, Xander raised his head to look at Spike.

"I think your vision was wrong."

"Liked yours much better, luv."

"I know I'm not that experienced at being on top...but I wanted this to be special. I love it when the three of us are together but sometimes it's nice to...well, be one on one. Not that I don't miss Angel, cause I do....but I like being able to focus on pleasuring you seperately every now and then. I want you to know how much I love you, Spike...how much I appreciate what you do for me and how lucky I am that you care about me. So, uh....was it really good or are you just trying to spare my feelings?" Spike pulled Xander in for a kiss and when they parted his blue eyes were shimmering with unshed tears. How could this beautiful boy be so self-conscious? So worried and afraid? Didn't he realize just how special he was? Didn't Xander know how much it meant to Spike that he gave himself so freely, so totally?

"You were incredible, Xander. You made me feel like I've never felt before....completely at peace....well, after blowing the top of my head off, that is." Xander's face lit up and he kissed Spike again before lying back down, cuddling close to his vampire. Now a tear did fall down Spike's cheek. Spike was happy that Xander was a cuddler...he was a closet cuddler himself. He could feel the trust, love and absolute adoration coming from Xander and it touched him to his very core. At that moment, Spike felt truly complete. He had Xander...and Angel. He had a room full of people on the other side of the door that was his family. That's all he would ever need...or want. ****************************************

It wasn't that far to Cabrillo Drive so the three men had decided to walk. All of them had different thoughts racing through their minds so it was a fairly quiet walk. Angel was trying to keep himself under control, images of a naked Xander and Spike threatening to make him so hard he wouldn't be much good in the fight. Damn Powers That Be. Gunn was torn between being excited about fighting something other than vampires and checking out the British guy who was walking beside him. He didn't know if this guy was good enough for his sister but he knew he was going to keep a close eye on those two. Wesley had a small smile on his face, dreaming of a certain young, beautiful girl who he had thoroughly enjoyed chatting with. He broke out of his thoughts long enough to notice Gunn staring at him, knowing Gunn was sizing him up...seeing if he was good enough for his sister. Well, Wesley would just have to prove how good he was at fighting....how well he could take care of himself.

"This is it." Angel pointed at the mailbox with 23 Cabrillo Drive on it. Wesley nodded, taking the lead as they went up the stairs. He glanced at Gunn....so the other man didn't think he could hold up his end of a fight? Well, he'd show Gunn. Wesley stood next to the door and waited for Angel's nod. When it came he kicked in the door and jumped inside, axe in hand. There were two elderly people, one man and one woman, sitting in front of a television set. So...these demons wanted to play games did they? Wesley would break them. In his haste to dazzle Gunn with his manliness he hadn't noticed that Angel couldn't get through the invisible barrier that was holding him back.

"Don't move a muscle! Demon spawn! Cowards." Wesley raised his axe and glared at the elderly couple, also brandishing a gun now. "Don't make me thrash it out of you. Where do you lay your eggs? In the cellar?"

Angel was enjoying the scene, having realized that they were at the wrong place and knowing exactly what Wesley was trying to do. He crossed his arms and leaned against the doorway, waiting for Wesley to catch on to what was going on. He felt Gunn poke him in his ribs and turned to see the man pointing next door where through the window they could see the large demon getting ready to hatch it's young. If that happened, they were going to have a hell of a fight on their hands. He turned back towards Wesley, ready to end the game.

"Wesley....." Wesley was too far gone in his attempt to amaze Gunn. He barely acknowledged Angel's words with a slight nod before addressing the elderly couple once again. They were starting to look at the man like he needed to be sent to some asylum, straight jacket and all.

"In the basement?"

"Yeah, that's right. Termites lay their eggs anywhere...such as next door." Angel finished with raised eyebrows and a jerk of his head towards the real house. Wesley backed up, never taking his eyes off the couple until he was next to Angel. He glanced out the door, seeing the demons beginning to hatch. *Oh, shit...he had screwed up.* He quickly lowered his weapons and stared at the couple as Angel lamely tried to explain their presence. "And we fight termites wherever they may roam." Angel turned, pushing Gunn back down the stairs as Wesley followed, stopping long enough to lean his head in through the doorway and apologize to the couple who were now looking at one another.

"Sorry about the door." Wesley quickly followed Angel and Gunn who was shaking his head and laughing.

"So, do you guys fight termites a lot?" Angel smiled at him.

"Sometimes. We all make mistakes." They made their way into the other house, this time Angel knocking down the door. All three of them charged at the demon who had already hatched several offspring. They slashed and hacked, yellow demon goo flying everywhere.

"Look out Wesley!" Angel yelled, but it was too late. One of the demons had picked Wesley up and thrown him through the door. Gunn killed one and turned to see if Wesley was alright. The man had jumped up and was running back into the fray. Well, Gunn had to give him points for determination anyway.

"You'll pay for that." Wesley warned, starting to slash and hack the demon in front of him. After a few moments they emerged, all of them coughing and covered in demon slime. "That was bracing."

"Yeah, babies had just hatched. Wouldn't want to run into them when they'd grown up and gotten their driver's licenses."

"And thank you Doyle for sending us to the wrong house. Another five minutes and those things would have been loose on the world."

"Well, it all worked out." Angel wiped the goo off his sword, glad that he hadn't brought his new axe Xander had given him. He wouldn't have wanted demon goo all over it the first night he had it.

"This time," Wesley agreed, taking a look at the house inside. It was torn to pieces, holes in walls, demon goo splattered everywhere and the door was smashed where he had fallen through it. "Maybe we should clean up....do you think a Tarvall demon leaves a hefty cleaning deposit?"

"Yeah, of course they do." Gunn said, rolling his eyes at the man. "Cause we all know demons are neatness freaks."

"Angel is," Wesley pointed at the vampire who shook his head.

"I'm not a neatness freak....I just like everything put where it should go. Orderly, you know." Gunn and Wesley exchanged glances before both of them chorused, "Neatness freak."

"Well, it's not my place to criticize. You are the leader and all but Doyle doesn't seem to be paying attention to his duties lately." Wesley told Angel, the three men starting to walk home.

"He's got a lot to deal with right now." Angel protested. "He's in love with Cordy for one thing, he had to go through seeing his ex- wife with another man after five years and having said man trying to eat his brains plus other....stuff." Angel didn't want to say anything about Doyle being a demon...not in front of Gunn but Wesley understood. "He's young...he's still trying to find his way in the world."

"Oh, but we're not in the world...demon hunters like us have a higher calling." Wesley said as Angel started motioning with his finger showing Wesley that he had demon goo on his cheek. Wesley reached up wiping the goo from his face. "Thanks." The three men started walking down the street as Wesley continued, "No one's more fond of Doyle than I...well, except for Cordelia...but if they're going to have an office relationship Doyle is going to have to learn to keep his mind on the visions even when Cordelia is about."

"Well...I can't fault him for that. Spike and Xander have a way of....distracting me from time to time." Angel said, grinning at Wesley. "And I think you were a little....distracted tonight yourself."

"Yeah, he was way too busy having thoughts about my little sister and not enough with the demon killing," Gunn accused Wesley who flushed with embarrassment. "That could end up costing you your life."

"You're actually threatening my life because I find Alana attractive, smart and very interesting," Wesley asked. Gunn shook his head.

"I was talking about the demons killing you."

"Oh. Well, yes that could be a problem."

"On the other hand, if you hurt my sister...I would have to do some serious harm on your ass."

"Yes, well....that's understandable. You love her. But I have no intentions of hurting her in any way." Wesley assured the man. Gunn smiled at Wesley, surprising him.

"That's good...cause despite your weirdness and my better judgement...I kinda like ya English." Gunn punched Wesley in the arm while Angel smiled at the two of them.

"Thank you....I think." Wesley said, rubbing his arm and thinking for a moment. "You don't think my sticking the axe in the wall put her off do you?"

"That was charming," Angel assured him.

"What about when I fell?"

"That was just plain funny." Gunn told him, starting to laugh. The three of them headed towards Angel's apartment, talking and getting to know one another better. ***************************************

Angel walked into the bedroom, taking a moment to stare at the beauty that was Spike and Xander. They were lying on the bed, Xander slightly atop Spike, his head on the vampire's chest. Xander had one leg thrown over Spike and their arms were wrapped tightly around one another. Angel took a deep breath, taking in the scent of the two of them, the sex and he was immediately hard. He sighed as he began shedding his demon goo covered clothes, intent on taking a shower. A very, very cold shower. He had just managed to get his clothes off when he heard someone stirring on the bed. He turned to see Xander smiling at him as he rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"What time is it?"

"Late."

"The others?"

"Gone home or in bed asleep."

"Did you get the bad guys?" Angel nodded. "What a hero."

"Heroes deserve rewards," Angel told him, making his way to the side of the bed. He crouched down, taking Xander's face in his hand and giving him a kiss. "Mmmm. I love this. Coming home after a hard night of slaying demons and finding you two waiting for me. Even if Spike is still asleep."

"I think I wore him out." Xander said, causing Angel to look at him in surprise. "What? You think cause I'm only human I can't do it? I'll have you know I have many tricks up my sleeve." Angel ran his fingers through the boy's shaggy locks giving him another long kiss.

"I'm sure you do." Was whispered against Xander's lips before Angel kissed him again, this time with more passion and desire. Xander put his hand around Angel's neck, pulling the vampire on top of him. They continued to kiss for several minutes, hands roaming each other's bodies. Angel drew the kiss out, only releasing his hold on Xander's lips long enough for the boy to catch a breath before he dove in for another. "God, I love your kisses." Another kiss. "Need you, Xander." Another kiss. "Want you so badly I ache." Angel was about to kiss Xander again when he was stopped by Spike's voice.

"You're going to be aching a hell of a lot more if you don't get your demon goo covered body off the boy and into the shower. Shit, can't get a good rest around here for the smell."

"I don't smell anything," Xander murmured pulling Angel down for another kiss. The next thing they knew, both of them were toppling off the bed, landing on the floor with a thud. Xander raised up, giving Spike an indignant glare as Angel laughed. "What did you do that for?"

"Told you. Angel smells like a cross between a skunk and a backed up sewer. Don't fancy getting any of that shit on me. It's bad enough we're going to have to change the bed covers and he's contaminated you too."

"Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Angel teased, holding his precious boy close as he looked at Spike.

"Just don't like to be woken up after I've been shagged silly, that's all." Spike complained, trying not to smirk at Angel but failing completely when he saw Angel's surprised expression. It was at that moment that Angel realized he was laying on something hard and cold. He raised up, still maintaining his hold on Xander, to pull the handcuffs out from under him. He held them up, his eyes going from one lover to another. Spike's smirk was bigger while Xander was feigning innocence.

"You shagged Spike? And there was handcuffs...and whipped cream?" Angel remembered the can Spike had held up before they left to fight the demon.

"Uh...yeah."

"Don't forget to tell him about the blindfold too, luv." Spike laid back down on the bed, pleased with himself. If he knew Angel like he thought he did, both he and Xander would get a right good fucking from the older vampire if they played their cards right. "Don't know what came over the boy but I liked it. No, let me re-phrase. I loved it. Laid me out on the bed, handcuffed me to it and blindfolded me...and that's before he became all dominant like."

"Spike...."

"Told me what he wanted me to do to him, then he covered me in whipped cream and licked it off...real slow like." Spike started to smile when he heard Angel's groan and smelled the arousal coming from the other vampire. *Yes, his plan was working perfectly*. "Wrote X heart S on me...even took pictures if you want to see." Another groan. "Placed it just right too, he did. The lines of the X went across my nipples so he took special care of them and the S trailed right down to my cock...was within inches of it. Every time I thought I was gonna get a blow job, he'd lick up my body again....teasing me till I was goin' crazy." A longer groan this time.

"Spike, don't be mean to Angel." Xander said, feeling the vampire tremble beneath him. Angel flipped them over, coming to rest on top of Xander. His hand reached up, finding the empty whipped cream can.

"Fuck. It's empty." He threw the can across the room. "Gotta get some tomorrow. A whole case." He flinched when he felt the tube of lube hit him in the head and smiled his thanks at Spike.

"Keep on talking, Spike." Angel was squeezing some of the lube onto his hardened shaft and his fingers as Xander watched, wondering what the hell was going on. "What happened next?"

"Don't know. Where was I?" Angel growled a warning at Spike. "Oh, yeah. The licking part. By then I was begging Xander to fuck me but instead he told me he was going to lick that good spot... Started stroking me...damn, I came so hard I thought I was gonna die again."

By now Angel was totally worked up. Between the fight, seeing the two of them naked, smelling the sex and now Spike's rendition of how Xander had played him, Angel was ready to fuck the two of them all night long. He took Xander's cock in his hand, leaning down to lick between Xander's balls and shaft as he started stroking the boy. Xander's hands came down to hold Angel's head, urging the vampire on as he groaned his appreciation. Angel's tongue was doing such wonderful things to him while one hand stroked his cock and the other came around to his ass, inserting the first finger. Xander started to beg, his head thrashing from one side to the other as he neared his climax.

"God, Angel don't stop. Don't...Oh, yeah, right there....feels incredible." Xander fell over the edge, screaming Angel's name. Spike watched, his hand going to his erection. He was going to have to wank off before it was his turn. He started stroking his cock as Angel lifted his head, pushing another finger into Xander's waiting hole. The boy spread his legs further, silently begging the vampire for more.

"What happened after you came, Spike? Did Xander stretch you like this?" Angel entered another finger, scissoring them and now Xander was pushing down, fucking himself on Angel's fingers as his cock started to respond yet again.

"Yeah, then he fucked me good and proper...had me coming again in no time." Spike acknowledged, enjoying the sight of his two lovers and remembering his and Xander's time together. His hand sped up as he felt his climax building. Angel raised up, putting Xander's legs over his shoulders, lining his slickened erection up with Xander's hole and entering the boy with one quick thrust. He leaned forward, giving Xander a kiss. Xander's lips parted and Angel's tongue attacked his mouth, devouring the boy.

"Fuck, I want you so bad." Angel growled, barely taking his lips from Xander's before kissing him again. "Gonna take you hard and fast." He kissed Xander's cheek. "So worked up....been wanting this all night long." He kissed the other cheek as he started moving inside of Xander. "Love your scent." Angel kissed Xander's forehead. "Love the taste of you." Another long, hard kiss. "Love being inside of you." Another kiss and a twist of his hips before he plunged inside the boy again. "God, I love your warmth. Want to stay inside you all night long." Angel started pistoning his hips, finding Xander's prostate and hitting it with every thrust.

"Yes, Angel....oh, God, yes....stay inside me. Fuck me, Angel...please." Xander was begging now, his arms wrapped tightly around Angel's waist as he pulled the vampire even closer. "Need you so much."

"I'm right here, Xander." Angel kissed Xander again, his hips never stopping their movement. "Gonna come." Angel shot his load into Xander's channel, feeling the boy's muscles clench against his cock as he came too. The extra sensation sent Angel into another orgasm, filling Xander until his cum was running down the boy's ass cheeks. They lay together for a few moments, both of them collecting their wits. Angel glanced up just in time to see Spike's climax as he brought himself to completion. Angel put his arms around Xander, pulling the boy up with him as he stood, never letting his cock leave Xander's warmth.

"Angel? How did you do that?" Xander was amazed by what Angel had done. The vampire gave him a warm smile before kissing him. This time it was slow, gentle and sensuous. Now that Angel had released some of the sexual tension that he had been feeling all night, he wanted to make this time last...and last.

"Vampire, remember? I know some tricks, too." Xander hugged Angel, his head coming to rest on the vampire's shoulder. Angel glanced over at Spike. "Xander and I are going to take a shower....get the smell off of us. I expect you to be awake and waiting when I get back."

"Are you sure you can go another few rounds by the time you get done with Xander?" Spike's tone was innocent but Angel knew his lover better than that. Spike had deliberately seen to it that Angel was so horny he would be able to satisfy them both...many times.

"You know the answer to that question, Spike. I can go all night....and I plan to." Angel smiled at Spike, seeing the desire in the blue eyes. He turned and walked into the bathroom never letting go of his precious bundle. He turned the water on, stepping inside. Xander raised his head as he felt the water raining down on him.

"Angel...."

"Shhh, Xander. Let me wash us off and then I'm going to make love to you." He quickly cleaned himself and then Xander, letting the boy wash his hair before he took a long time doing Xander's. He loved the boy's hair, the color and thickness of it, how silky it felt between his fingers. When he was through, Angel maneuvered it so that he had Xander between himself and the tiles of the shower stall. He started kissing along Xander's chest, making sure to linger longer at the boy's nipples. When he started on Xander's nipples, the boy started riding his cock. Angel leaned in closer, pinning Xander and stopping him. "Let me do this, Xander. You just enjoy it. And I promise you...you will. I'll have you screaming my name over..." Angel kissed Xander's chest, "and over again." Now he took the boy's mouth, tracing every inch of it with his tongue as he slowly slid in and out of Xander's warmth.

"Angel...feels so good. God, do you know how much I adore you?" Angel stopped for a moment, looking into Xander's eyes, seeing the honesty of the statement. It made his body start to tremble and for a moment he thought he was going to collapse.

"You do?"

"Of course I do. Angel, I love you and Spike more than I've ever loved anyone in my entire life. I've given you everything I have...I've never done that with anyone before. Never felt I could...until I fell for you two. You and Spike are my life, my love, my everything."

Angel stared at Xander, a flood of emotions running through his body. Love, desire, passion, happiness, adoration for the boy he held in his arms and yes...there it was. A feeling of being complete...being whole at last. Angel had always felt something was missing from his life....when he was Liam, when he was with Darla, Spike and Drusilla, when he was roaming the streets and living in alleyways eating rats and even with Buffy when he thought he had obtained perfect happiness. Now he knew what it was. No one had ever trusted and loved him so deeply. No one had ever given themselves to Angel like Xander was now...like he had been doing all along. Everyone had always held back...loving him but never putting their trust and faith in him. Until Xander. Tears filled his eyes as he kissed the boy who had changed his world...had made him finally feel complete and whole. Had given Spike back to him. He started making love to Xander, taking him slow and gentle, putting every bit of his emotion into their coupling. He wanted to give Xander exactly what the boy had given him...everything he had, everything he was.

"I adore you too, Xander. Now and always, my love...my heart." With those words both of them shuddered their completion, coming together. When they were done, Angel turned the water off, stepping out of the shower and drying them off, still encased in his world. He continued to whisper words of love as he carried Xander back to the bed, both of them falling onto it next to Spike. He smiled when Xander pulled him down for a kiss, loving the way the boy touched him...not only physically but emotionally as well. Angel made love to him again, this time just as gentle and tender as he had in the shower. When it was over he looked down at Xander, pushing the damp hair away from his face and giving him a tender kiss. Xander was completely worn out, fighting to keep his eyes open as he smiled at his two lovers.

"Thank you guys for making this the best Christmas ever...not just for me but our friends, too. I know how much trouble you went to for all of us and I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me."

"We wanted to erase the bad memories." Angel told him, giving him a kiss.

"And to show you how much we love you." Spike leaned over, placing a soft kiss on Xander's lips.

"You did that." Xander reached up, stroking each of their cheeks before his eyes started to close and his hands fell down to his sides. "You two vampires have fun. The human guy is going to sleep. Wore me out." Spike and Angel watched their lover close his eyes, smiling when he was asleep within seconds. Angel rolled over and pulled Spike close.

"You're next."A
