thanks for the warning. I would definitely have given my co-workers something to stare at if I'd read this chapter at work. Reading it at home led me to a multitude of hot and naughty dreams.
I love the fact that this story takes place while Buffy is still relatively innocent, and all the angst of later on (ie: season 6) is not there. So very sweet.

Author's Response: No problem. ;) I know some naughty people read at work so I'd thought it would be fair to give them a warning. Hee... poor co-workers would be quite shocked if they caught your reading this. Glad you thought it was hot! And I ahve to agree with you ont he whole Buffy still having a bit of innocence here. I prefer writing her eariler versions, which is why I haven't written any S6 fic. That was probably the season I liked Buffy as a character the least. Thank you for the yummy review!!! :)

Loved it! And the end was great! Spike would probably pounce in the next chappie after he heard her statement in this one, huh? ;)
can't wait to read his response :D

Author's Response: Hahaha, I think you're awesome. Just saying. And I don't want to spoil anything for you but your suggestion of what Spike might do next sounds pretty reasonable. ;) You'll get to find out whether you were right or wrong soon. Thank you for the sweet review!!! :D

Now that should be a revelation..
enjoyed

Author's Response: You betcha. Spike sure didn't expect to hear that. Thank you for the lovely review!!! :)

Start was wonderful. Hope they get to finish this time too. Update soon.

Author's Response: Well, wouldn't you like to know? No worries though, I'm updating very soon. Thank you for being lovely!!! :)

Great chapter, looking forward to the next one!

Author's Response: More will be up soon, darling. ;) Thank you for reading and reviewing!!! :D

Awww an image of Spike picking flowers... :D so damn cute!
And now it's hot, steaming bath time... ;)

Author's Response: Now that truly would be a sight to behold. *g*
You bet your ass some steamy stuff is coming up soon. ;) Thank you for the awesome review!!! :D

Waiting to see if Spike was right..
LOL
enjoyed


Author's Response: Hee... you'll get to see very soon. ;) So happy you enjoyed this update. Thank you for the yummy review!!! :D

Guh... again with the teasing... I can't take much more!! SO looking forward to the next chapter :)

Author's Response: Sorry! *sheepish smile* It's not actually deliberate, just going for some foreplay before the big event. ;) Not much longer now. I think I'm going to update today. Thank you for the delightful review!!! :D

So glad she finally had her big reveal, and that she actually stuck to her guns for once. And I'm glad he came over. So cute. Update soon!

Author's Response: See? No way I could have her chickening out again. And now that the cat's out of the bag, they'll just have to get used to it. Some awesoem Spuffy moments coming up and I shall be updating soon. Thank you for the yummy review!!! :D

Good for Buffy.. and hopefully the goo is not a slow acting poison.
enjoyed..

Author's Response: No worries, it's not poisonous. Just your regular demon goo, except extra stinky. ;) Thank you for reviewing, sweets!!! :D

I am completely a fan of yours, and I've loved reading this fic from the very first chapter. So, it is with a very heavy heart, I write this review. I just feel that you've been unnecessarily dragging out this fic. At the beginning, the UST was great. Now it's becoming tedious and just plain annoying. This started several chapters back after they "dry humped" in the hotel room. Why? They were alone. There had been no interruptions by Amazons, guys knocking on the door, and the like. So why didn't they do what they were dying to do? I don't understand.

The only thing I can summarize is that you are enjoying all the reviews, and you're dragging this out purposefully. At first, I thought I was wrong, but with each passing chapter you’ve rewritten the same premise, them ending up unfulfilled, over and over again just in different ways.

If it’s not for reviews, then what is the reason? I’ve read all your stories, and each of them contained chapters that were original and captivating. Not a regurgitation of ideas.

Yes, I’m fully aware I’ve not left my name. I’m doing this on purpose. This is not because I don't stand by what I'm saying, it's more because of the negative repercussions with leaving this review would cause. And honestly, I don’t want to deal with them. I just wanted you to know, I love your writing completely, and I loved this fic. Well, this was until the UST that never ended began. This review is not to be cruel or hurtful, I’m only trying to be honest.


Author's Response: Thank you for telling me your thoughts! Sorry if you think I've been dragging it out because I assure you that was not my intention at all.
As to your question, why they didn't have sex in the motel room... I assume this was the chapter before Buffy got drunk, am I right? I actually did consider them doing it but then I discussed it with my beta and we agreed it would mean more if they did it once they were back in Sunnydale. The reason for this is that when they were on the run they were sort of wrapped in this bubble, away from everyone's judgements and 'reality' of the outside world. When they have sex I want it to be when they're both sure with what the other feels. I'm not going to just jump straight to it for the sake of 'finally' doing it because it was a long time coming (pun intended). Hope I cleared it up for you a bit, though it probably won't make it any less 'annoying' for you. Sorry.
Well, yes, of course I enjoy the reviews!! But I absolutely am NOT dragging this out on purpose for getting more of them. Maybe it's my pacing that sucks, but I kinda want the relationship between them to develop on both physical and emotional level. So that's my reason.
What negative reprecussions? It's not like I would be mean to you. I appreciate your opinion because I don't think you meant to flame me or anything. You're entitled to dislike the way I took it. I won't lie- sure, it made me sad, but I can only hope at least one person enjoys the chapters like they are and hey, the fic has only few more chapters. Finally, right?! Thank you for reading and for being honest! I'm glad you at least like my other stories.

Gotta love gentleman bad boy Spike.. wait until the proper time.. and place.
And we will see if Buffy will at least confess to Mom.. Feel Spike will be in for a little Buffy hurt..
enjoyed

Author's Response: He's the best! No shagging in the backseat of his car. Well, at least not for their first time. ;)
She's goinna have to man up and face her mom and friends. It won't be easy but she's got to do it. Thank you for the lovely review!!! :D
