Unknown Factors (Book One)

Ch.58: Whose got the body and whose got the brain

  Waking up, I gasped while looking around. The building I had passed out in was gone and in its place was a wreck of chaos. The roof was caved in, letting in a little sunlight while support beams and wooden posts were broken all around. Chunks of the building even laid scattered about.

  Quickly getting to my feet, I covered myself with the long, black coat I had been using as a blanket. Looking back at the vampire, I saw him waking up.

  "When-" I paused, thinking of a good way to ask my question. "When did the building fall down?" Spike glanced around.

  "I don't know." He smirked while propping himself up on his elbows. He was covered in bruises, and there were even claw marks on his chest and shoulders. "Must have been some time between the first time and the, uh...." He trailed off while chuckling.

  "Oh." Staring at his naked form in the middle of the floor, I realized just how stupid I had been to give in to my lust and curiosity. "Oh, my God." I hurried to get dressed. It was daylight out, and Buffy and Dawn must be wondering where the Hell I was. "Pants. I need my pants." Looking under the rubble, I tried to find said article of clothing.

  "What's the hurry, love?"

  "The hurry is I left Buffy to patrol and never showed up where we were supposed to meet at. And don't call me 'love.'"

  "You didn't seem to take issue with that last night. Or with any of the other little nasties we whispered." Spike smirked.

  "Could you just not talk? I'm trying to find my pants." I told him while finding a sock instead.

  "I just don't see why you have to run off so quick. I thought we could-"

  "Not gonna happen!" Holding up a hand to stop him, I found my shirt. "Last night was the stop to this freak show." Looking past him, I saw my pants. 'Oh, there they are!' Walking toward them, Spike grabbed me and pulled me into his lap.

  "Don't say that." He gave me a serious look.

  "What did you think was gonna happen?" I asked. "Huh? We're gonna read the newspaper and eat breakfast together? Play footsies under the rubble?"

  "Not exactly what I had in mind." The blond said while rubbing his hand against the outside of my panties. I had to bite my lip to keep from moaning, and I used my tail to push him back.

  "Quit it!"

  "Make me." And I found myself kissing him again until I gave a small moan before shaking my head.

  "No! No!" I said mostly to myself. "I-I have to-"

  "Stay. I'm stuck here. Sun's out." Spike kissed me again, and my tail began to curl and uncurl. He pulled me across his lap to lay me down next to him. The vampire had his hand between my legs, making me moan. "I knew. I knew the only thing better than killing you would be fu-"

  "What?!" I pulled him off me with my tail while quickly getting to my feet. Looking at him, I balled my hands into fists. "Is that was this is about? Fucking a halfbreed?" I couldn't tell why that made me so angry but it genuinely did.

  "I wouldn't throw stones, pet. You seem to be the groupie yourself."

  "Shut up." I snarled while grabbing my pants and pulling them on.

  "I'm just sayin'....vampires get you hot."

  "No, they don't. Okay, they don't!" I pointed at him. "Hell, I didn't even know what my sexual orientation was, so last night was just me finding out. You were a convenient male to see if I was heterosexual." Spike scoffed before getting to his feet.
