"Spike, what's wrong?" Willow asked. They had been home from Nic's for about an hour, and he was ignoring her.
"Nothin' luv. Just thinking."
"What about?"
Spike frowned and looked at his mate. She was looking at him curiously. "Do you really want to know?"
"Yep."
"I feel like I'm losing you...." he said softly.
"No...Spike. Don't be stupid. You'll never get rid of me. Hell, I'm here forever. What could make you think that?"
"Dunno." He said, turning.
Willow felt lost. She didn't know how to reassure him. She didn't even know why he could even consider the possibility. "Spike...remember what you told me? No running. What is wrong?"
Spike turned to her, his eyes cold. "HE made you laugh. I've been here since the change....watching after you, taking care of you....you were so out of it you probably don't remember....you haven't even smiled at me, yet he makes you laugh. That's my problem!"
"Oh sweetie....I know I'd be lost without you....I'm sorry if I did something that upset you....it was not intentional....I just haven't had anything to smile about lately...I hadn't realized that I hadn't been ......"
"Just stop. I know how it will be. I lived through Dru and Angelus, remember? Well, I guess you have your Daddy now. Let him take care of you...." he spat out.
Willow felt tears on her cheeks. She turned from Spike and looked out the window at the moon.
Spike watched her and felt terrible. He had taken out his petty jealousy on her. He had vowed to himself not to do that. He went to her and hugged her from behind. "I'm sorry...I'm trying to get used to this....I was....jealous of him..."
Willow pushed back into him. "I know."
"Its just....he was the first one to see you laugh....he was the one who saved you...I should have saved you."
"You weren't there...."
"BUT I should have been. I knew it was going to be dark, that you were most likely alone....Damn, I felt like something bad was going to happen. I ignored it and you see what happened....I am trying so hard...."
Willow turned to him and kissed him lightly. "I know...it's going to take some time....we can make it work....I love you Spike."
"Me too luv....me too." he whispered before claiming her mouth.
Angel stood outside the door and watched. He had heard everything. He felt a bit left out. Since Willow had been turned, he and Spike had barely spoken. She hadn't even touched him....he knew in his mind that it was a very bad time for them....they had a lot to get through...but he couldn't help feeling neglected by them both. Scowling, he turned and went to the library. He grabbed a book and sat down to read. When they wanted him, they could sure as hell come to him. He was tired of waiting for the scraps that he was thrown. It was their turn to do the waiting.
* * * * *
Willow got out of the bed and pulled a cover around her. She hated feeling cold. She always had. Now, it appeared that she would be stuck with that feeling for eternity. She looked at Spike and smiled slightly. He WAS trying. She knew how hard it must be for him. First, he had Dru who truly belonged to Angelus. Now, he had her....she guessed that she must belong to Nic. Poor Spike. He had never had one to call his own. He had planned on her being his. She knew this. They had discussed it often. His jealousy and possessiveness had been a problem before, she could imagine what it would be now. She suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Angel since they had gone to Giles' apartment.
She quietly left the room and began searching. When she got to the library, she smiled. He was sitting in a chair with a book in his lap. His eyes were closed. She crept forward until she was standing in front of him. He looked exhausted. She felt guilt spread through her. He had been helping Spike during the last few days. She hadn't even seen him, really seen him, since before her change. Her smile became wicked. (Time to make up for that)
Angel woke suddenly. He looked down and had to smile. Willow was kneeling in front of him. Her mouth slowly licking up and down his cock. He was so used to her warmth, that the coolness was a surprise. He felt himself growing harder. Her green eyes looked into his and she smiled.
"I was naughty....ignored my Angel...forgive me?"
"Always."
She looked into those brown eyes and saw that he spoke the truth. He had all ready accepted her new identity and had no resentments. She knew that she would have no problems with him. She turned her attention back to him. Nibbling and licking from base to tip, then back down again. Suddenly, she took his length into her mouth. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation of her wet tongue on him. It had been so long....He came within moments, flooding her mouth with his release. She licked him clean and stood.
She reached a hand out to him and said, "Come to bed."

"Spike.....would you and Angel go pick up that book from Nic?"
Spike looked at Willow and then back to the slayer. "You won't leave her?" he asked Buffy.
Surprised, Buffy said "No."
"See you in a bit luv." He went forward and kissed Willow before leaving.
Buffy watched her friend. Willow was chewing on her bottom lip, a habit that she displayed when she was nervous or upset. "What gives?"
Willow looked at Buffy. This was the first time they had been alone together since her death. "It's Spike."
Buffy smiled. "Oh really? I never would have guessed." She rolled her eyes.
Willow had to laugh. It was nice to be around her friend again. Buffy had accepted her new status whole-heartedly. Willow was glad that her friend was living with Nic and Dru. She knew that had made it easier for her. Xander and Cordelia had not been around. Oz had come by on his way out of town. He had felt guilty. She wondered why everyone wanted to blame themselves. It had been her fault. Actually, it had been the robber's fault. But, she had known better. She was finally coming to terms with the part she had played in her own death. She didn't need to keep reassuring others that there was nothing they could have done to prevent it. Oz had understood. He had all ready called her several times since he got to LA. He'd promised to keep in touch. Giles was very cool with it. When he had realized that she wasn't a typical vampire, he had been overjoyed. Buffy had tried to come over several times but something seemed to come up. This was the first time she had made it to the house.
"Earth to Willow....Girl, you're spacing out on me here...."
"Sorry. What was I saying?"
"Spike?"
"Yeah....this is the first time he has let me out of his sight since it happened. He seems to always be there. I know I should be grateful that he cares and is worried, but it is really getting to be irritating. Angel has been great. He's there when I need him, but he gives me space. I don't know. I am so glad you are here."
Buffy smiled. She had had some problems coming to terms with Willow's death, but it hadn't taken long. She and Luc had talked for hours about what Willow was now. She felt that she had a good understanding of it. "Wills, Spike feels that he failed you. You died! He couldn't stop it. He promised to protect you always, and he feels like he broke that promise. He may be a bit overprotective right now, but give it some time. He's worth it."
"Wait! YOU think Spike is worth it? I must have been dead longer than I thought...."
"Shut up, Deadgirl. He's a good guy, for a vampire. And he loves you dearly."
"I know. I love him too. It just gets to the point that it feels like he's more of a babysitter than a lover...a husband..." Willow trailed off. Suddenly, she asked, "So, do you feel that need to kill me?"
"What? No. I mean, I recognize that you're a vampire, but I don't feel threatened. Why?"
"Just curious. Nic said that I have a demon, just that the spell he cast weakens it. Sometimes, though, the demon can get to be strong. When that happens, I become just like any other bloodsucker. It usually only lasts a short time though. I was just curious to know if you could sense my inner demon."
"Hmm....you mean, you will go wacko once in awhile?" Buffy asked concerned. This was the first she had heard about it.
"Rarely. Nic says different circumstances bring out the demon. He told me that it depends on the individual. So far, I appear to be demon free."
"That's good." Buffy said. "So, I've been dieing to know....."
Willow waited. "What?"
"Is the sex any different?" she asked mischievously.
"Buuufffyy!" Willow said, having to laugh. She almost felt as though nothing had changed.

Willow and Buffy talked for a few more hours, mostly catching up on the last weeks events. Buffy had been to the doctor, and was told that the pregnancy was progressing normally. Her expected due date was tentatively scheduled December 22. Dru was convinced that it was a girl, and Buffy had to agree. She told Willow that she and Luc had been getting much closer. He often accompanied her on her patrols and they spent most evening together. They still had not had a repeat of the events in New Orleans. Buffy told Willow that she didn't think that would happen until the baby was born. Buffy told Willow of Xander and Cordelia. They had moved in together. They seemed to be in love and enjoying their engagement. Willow knew that it was hard for Xander to accept her death but she had thought that he would have stood beside her....not run from her. That hurt more than anything that had happened to her. His betrayal of their friendship. She honestly didn't know if she could ever be friends with him again. She let Buffy out and sat on the couch to think. She wondered where Spike and Angel were. They had been gone several hours. She guessed that she couldn't complain. She had told them to take their time.
Around 4 am, Willow was livid. They still weren't back. Angel had called and said that he was going to stay over with Nic and Dru. They were discussing a situation that was heading towards Sunnydale. He had told her then that Spike had left hours before. Spike still resented Nic, despite his best attempts not to. Willow felt her anger growing with every passing minute.
"Where the hell is he? Probably out getting drunk again....He sure as hell had better not have found some slut. He'd better have a good explanation for this..."
She began to clean the living room. Beating the pillows, wiping the tables..anything to keep busy. Another hour passed.
"Oh Goddess...what if he's dead? Someone could have staked him...he might have fed off he wrong person...oh no, what will I do if he's gone? No...he's still around...Where is he?"
She flopped on the sofa and looked at the ceiling. She felt anger and worry running through her. Suddenly, she heard a key in the door. She sniffed the air and smelt tequila. (That bastard was out drinking again....always running from his problems... typical male....well, it's not going to work this time, damn it.)
She stood, her eyes blazing yellow. She watched as the door slowly opened.
* * * * *
Spike crept into the dark room. He was in trouble. He had wanted to give Willow some time alone with the slayer, but time had gotten away from him. He had gone to Willy's and had been challenged to a game of pool. Well, needless to say, that became an all night event. Now, he only hoped that Willow was asleep. He walked to the stairs, when he suddenly felt something push him. Startled, he looked in yellow eyes. Willow was in full game face. She was beautiful. Her hair was on fire....her eyes let with anger.
"Luv...."
He found his words stopped by her mouth. She forcefully pushed him onto the stairs. He found himself sitting with her standing in front of him. (Blimey....)
Willow ran her fingernail over his cheek, drawing a trace of blood. She slowly licked it. Her hands moved to his shirt. She ripped it off with one hard yank. Her teeth began biting their way down his body. She roughly grabbed his cock through his jeans. "Mine" she whispered.
Spike knew to sit back and let her do this. She was claiming him. He'd done it to her several times. But, this was the first time he'd been claimed since Angelus. Biting off a groan, he lay his head back on the stair. He felt his jeans being pulled off. Her cold mouth claimed his cock. He was all ready hard and wanting. When she had made him even harder, she climbed up his body and took his mouth. She lowered herself on to him. He thrust upwards matching her rhythm. Her hands ran along his arms, pinning them above his head. He felt the hard stairs behind his back. He then felt her tighten around his cock. She bit into his neck deeply, sucking and lapping at his blood. When he felt his release about to come, he reciprocated, tasting her sweet blood. They came together. Her hand reached down and roughly grabbed his face. Her eyes changed back to familiar green.
"Mine." she said harshly, running a possessive hand over his features.
"Yours." he agreed, smiling.
"Now, don't be late again. I was worried." She said, before claiming his mouth.
* * * * *
Willow and Spike, Buffy and Luc, Nic and Dru, Angel and Simone, and Ettiene all sat around the table. There was a small group of vampires that had tried to come in and take over that they had just defeated. It was a celebration. Willow looked at them all and smiled. She noticed how Angel had been mesmerized by Simone, who had just arrived from New Orleans. She had had to get several things settled before her move. Willow was very happy she was here. The two had had such fun while in New Orleans, becoming very dear friends. They had even kept in touch while Simone was getting ready for the move. Even Buffy liked the quiet, elegant woman. The blond beauty seemed equally enraptured by Angel. Willow knew that wasn't difficult. Angel was very special to her. He had repeated the vows along with Spike. She knew that he felt neglected sometimes. Especially lately. Spike's overprotectiveness since her death...her struggles with adjusting to her new life...She wanted him to find someone that would treat him the way he deserved. She wished that she could that person, but Spike was her primary mate. Angel would always be her secondary and hold a special place in her heart, but she could share. His happiness was worth that. He looked up suddenly, as though he could feel her eyes on him. She smiled her approval. He smiled back shyly.
Angel wasn't sure what he was doing. He loved his relationship with Spike and Willow, but often times felt left out. He looked at the woman beside him. She was charming. They had met previously years before, while he was Angelus. He remembered then being struck by her beauty and intelligence. In a lot of ways, she reminded him of Willow. He saw Willow watching him and received her smile of approval. He wasn't sure where this might lead, but at least he knew he wouldn't be risking his relationship with her. Spike would probably be relieved if he found another separate mate. He'd only just met her. It would take some time to see where things might lead. He knew that he would not be willing to lose Willow and Spike. He didn't know how Simone would react to that....anyway, it was much too early to be thinking about that. Smiling at his Willow, he turned back to Simone.

"Where's Willow?" Angel asked as he came into the room.
"She and the slayer went shopping. Baby clothes." Spike said, looking up from his book. He looked at Angel, who had just left the shower. His hair was still wet, drops of water slowly running down his face. Spike held back a groan and went back to his book.
Angel smiled. He had seen the lust in his childe's eyes. It had been too long.
"I'm proud. You actually allowed her to leave the house without her shadow. Good show, mate." Angel said smirking.
"Don't you have some blonde bimbo waiting for you?"
"Jealous?"
Spike snickered. "You wish. Go ahead and go to her. She must be waiting."
Angel frowned. "No, she's not."
Spike looked up, surprised. Angel and Simone had met every night for a week. He had thought that their friendship was progressing nicely. "What happened?"
"Nothing. She's great. We are great friends." Angel said. He turned serious dark eyes toward Spike. "She's not you. She's not Willow. It just doesn't seem right. I know Willow approves. Hell, you're probably thrilled. I just feel like I'm betraying what I feel for you two. I don't she and I will ever make it out of that comfortable friend stage. Hell, who am I kidding? I don't want it past that stage. I just need a friend."
Spike was shocked. He had thought the two seemed perfect for each other. He had felt rather unhappy at the idea that Angel wanted someone else, but Willow had convinced him that it was Angel's choice. He felt elation spread through him. His sire had chosen to stay with them. He scowled at Angel and said, "Good excuse. You just want to make me miserable. I know you. You should just go."
Angel moved quickly. He had Spike thrown against the floor in moments. "What was that? Did I just hear you try to give me an order, William?" he asked silkily.
Spike felt a shot of desire shoot through him. It had been too long, what with Willow's death and all of their adjusting.
"Go to hell mate. Oh wait, forgot. You've all ready been there." he said.
Angel knew what Spike was after, and he sure as hell planned to give it to him. He flipped the blond over, shoving his face into the floor. "Tsk...tsk...seems someone has forgotten who his daddy is. Getting a bit big for your britches there, son." he said, as he roughly grabbed Spike's erection through his jeans. "Let Daddy take care of that."
Angel kept one hand on the back of Spike's head, with the other he pulled the vampire's jeans down past his knees. He unzipped his pants, freeing his enormous hard on. He pushed Spike's shirt up, enjoying the power he had. He ran a finger nail down his childe's back, watching as the blood slowly started to run. He ran his hand over it, smearing it over Spike's pale white skin. Spike groaned. He tried to move against the floor, hoping the friction would help him find release. Angel noticed his movement, and pulled him roughly to his knees.
"You don't come until I say you can." he said huskily. He leaned forward and ran his tongue along Spike's tight ass. He ran his hand up and down his own cock, making it grow even larger. When he felt it was time, he kneeled behind his child and entered him fully. Spike gasped at the pain and pleasure. Angel drove into him like a demon possessed. With each thrust, he shoved Spike's head against the floor. Spike ached to find his own release, but remembered his sire's warning. He felt Angel's teeth in his shoulder as he felt his ass flooded with his sire's release. Shaking, he waited, hoping it was now his turn. Angel licked at the bite, catching the stray drops of blood. There was no way he could leave this. He belonged here. They heard a soft chuckle and both looked towards the door. Willow stood there, a wicked smile on her pretty face. Her eyes shown with arousal. They could smell her desire.
"Naughty boys....playing without me. Should I be jealous?"
* * * * *
Willow moved into the room. She had seen most of Angel's possession. Even after all this time, the sight of Spike being taken by Angel still turned her on. She honestly could think of nothing more erotic than seeing them together. She went to them and ran her hand along Spike's back. She trailed down his ass, enjoying the feel of his skin. Looking into Angel's eyes, she brought her finger up to her mouth and gently lapped at his secretions mixed with the blood. Angel felt himself harden immediately. He roughly grabbed her and brought her mouth to his. Spike began to sit up, but Angel's shoved his head back down. He broke the kiss to say, "I don't remember giving you permission to move."
Willow loved when Angelus came out to play. Before, he had sometimes scared her. Now, she just felt turned on. He ripped her shirt off, leaving it hanging. His mouth found her breasts, biting and sucking. She fell back onto the sofa. He pushed her skirt up and tore her panties off. He entered her wet passage and began to thrust wildly. She met each one, making him go deeper each time. Her eyes caught Spike's. He was still kneeling on the floor. His back covered with scratches...his ass covered with Angel's release. His eyes were wild. He was so aroused. She whispered in Angel's ear and he looked at her.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes."
He stopped his thrusting and moved to lay on the floor. She got up and went to Spike. She kissed him deeply, their tongues mating. She then winked at him. She went to Angel and lowered herself onto his erection. This was his second of the evening, so she knew he would last for quite awhile. Once she started an easy rhythm, she nodded at him.
"Spike...you may take Willow." he said. His hands went to cup her ass, slowly spreading the cheeks apart for Spike.
Spike moved and in a flash his cock was running up and down her opening. She had never allowed either of them to possess her this way. The demon must have loosened her inhibitions. He was crazy with lust. He needed to come. He tried to go slow. He eased into her a little at a time.
Willow thought she was going to die. She felt completely filled. He was going to slow. Groaning in frustration, she arched back taking him deep.
"Yesssss...." she hissed.
Spike and Angel began a rhythm, both alternating their thrusts. They wanted her to beg them for her release. Soon, they were all overcome. They started to thrust harder....deeper...They all exploded at once. Willow had never felt this way before. It was as though every nerve ending were on fire. Exhausted, her head fell forward onto Angel's shoulder. Spike pulled out of her, and looked at her in amazement. He gently picked her up and all three headed upstairs.
