Ok.. starting to get back into the swing of the story.

It's just.... your really overdoing vulnerable Spike. It makes him look pathetic. You don't have to go to the most extreme version of William to have a vulnerable Spike.

Author's Response: This is an all human story that doesn't require Spike to be strong when he's William underneath it all. It's fine to have an opinion and I respect that, but remember there are many people out here who do enjoy the fic and the extreme vulnerability - its a matter of taste. Again, I think you might be wasting time here when there are other fics out there that are better suited to the kind of Spike or William you prefer. I'm but one author who can't please everyone all the time. Thanks for the review.

Some things confuse so much. He has a problem with premature ejaculation so why is he getting a hand job in the beggining? Then after orgasming twice with his hand he's not going to come inside her? Is he going to jack off again later? Was there a rule Lorne stated earlier stating that he wasn't allowed to come in her?

Geussing most of your reviews are from females, just giving you a mans perspective.

This scene was hot but after all that foreplay in the beggining it was more anti-climatic than anything else.

Been forgetting to put my e-mail there in case you want to strike back at what i say.

Author's Response: Well, and see herein lies where most women are readers and its nice to see a male perspective come into play. But, in saying that, it's just fiction and in most romance novels the real day to day men don't usually stand up to how the authors portray what 'the perfect' man would be. It's not an excuse, I simply chose to write him this way. Thanks for the review.

Another dissapointing chapter. The beggining was so great i had to keep reading but i don't know anymore. Why are you making Spike so .... weak? Had to jack off twice? I don't know about vampires but humans don't have super recuperative powers. Plus after the first one the rest of the orgasms pale in comparison no matter what you read.

Thats from personal experience. Used to go 3 to 5 times in one night with my girlfriend. I geuss being a guy i don't understand why Spike would waste the greater orgasm by using his hand. The rest won't be as intense anymore.

I geuss a woman wouldn't understand. Kind of sucks since i'm a huge fan of Fanfiction, BTVS, and Spuffy and most of the stories are written by women who can't understand men.

Most people seem to prefer post chip Spike which annoys me because it makes me look at them like Kathie Bates in Misery. If you love the character why do prfer the fake version thats being tortured? Meh got side tracked. Well i'm going to keep reading hoping it gets better.

Author's Response: Well, this may not be the fic for you. It certainly isn't going to appeal to everyone and I accept that. As for Spike being weak, again, this is a story of William not so much as Spike. As for the stamina issue, well, since this is fiction and we have ourselves a gigolo, that's what I went with however unrealistic. Since your a guy I appreciate you coming out and giving some insight, its very refreshing actually because most authors here are female and of course we don't know, except from experience and what we're told, how men, ahem, 'function' down there. Again, this story is not canon nor is it meant to be in any way. You may find after a couple more chapters its not the fic for you and that's fine. THere's definetely plenty out there to choose from. Thanks for the review.

The singing of that song is hilarious. Forgot who sang it but i remember it from Ferngully from when i was a kid.

Author's Response: That's funny. Thanks for the review darling.

I am loving this story. I just got hooked and can hardly wait to see what happens next!! Great plot and, well, not plot ;). Do you have some kind of a mailing list for update notification? Thanks so much! Keep it coming!

Author's Response: I can certainly add you to my email list and can nontify you of updates that way if you'd like. Simply contact me through this website and drop me your email sweety. I'm thrilled you're enjoying TE and do hope you enjoy the next update. Thanks so much for the lovely review. Smooches to you.

Awwwwwwww. Bashful Spike is totally irresistible! Please update this soon, I can't wait for our lovebirds to make a nest and never come out and smutsmutsmut it up.

Author's Response: Isn't he though? I like me a bad boy Spike, but WIlliam moments can be just as nice. Glad you enjoyed it hon, thanks so much for the review.

Well good for Lorn and Anya.Pushing them a bit closer.And Buffy really thinking it out,and realizing she likes the thought of mayyying spike,aka William.

Author's Response: Oh yes, those thoughts didn't frighten her as bad as she thought they would. They will definetely help Spike out. I'm happy you liked this chappy hon, thanks for the review, hugs.

Awwww how romantic! *sigh*
And Lorne and Anya are such a perfect couple! *giggles*
Great update, love and I'm looking forward to reading the next one. ;)

*hugs ya tight* kitty

Author's Response: Hi hon, *waves*. So glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, the Lornya factor I thought could be potentially hilarious, so I'm glad you like them. Thanks for the review my friend, smooches.

Wow...Anya and Lorne? Will they be very good friends or more? Update soon please!

Author's Response: Giggles, it's a secret for now but the potential is most definetely there. Thanks for the review hon, hugs and kisses.

This was another wonderfully entertaining chapter. I love that William and Buffy were both thinking positively about marriage. Anya putting things in perspective for Buffy has worked wonders. Anya and Lorne are a force to be reckoned with! Let's see if Buffy's right and "...that every time they get near each other they wind up having sex because she can’t resist him.” Could be fun in a crowded bar.

Author's Response: Awww, thank you hon. yes, wedding thoughts all the way around. Giggles, sex in a crowded bar - hmmmmm, that would definetely make for a steamy scene. I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the chapter sweety, thanks again, hugs.

Hon, you´re fantastic. Nothing else to say. Loved it. Loved the image you´ve created in mind and the look in the future... family ... marriage and children. This has to be a really good time.
I´m curious what´ll happened while they´re dancing and so looking forward to reading the next one.
Thanks for your wishes, I had a wonderful Sunday and I hope you had, too.
Smooch. Caro

Author's Response: That's awesome to hear, I'm very pleased you liked this chapter and the little 'future' peeks into their lives of what could be. Oh the dance floor will definetely be an interesting scene - that's all I can say for now, sorry. But I can gaurantee you'll enjoy it, well, I do hope so, lol. Thanks so much for the great review darling - you're so good to me... hugs and kisses.

I love this story. Great update.


Author's Response: Thank you hon, smooches to you.

LOVE(!!!) the new chapters, especially this one since Buffy has finally decided to listen to Lorne & Anya & that wise inner voice and stop raking William's heart over the coals & just admit that he loves her & give him the chance to show it...and hopefully, herself a chance to love him back. LOL! I've thought about this story way too much, huh? I'll blame it on you for writing a great story that has me hooked til the end. Please update soon!

Author's Response: Yeah, it was about time Buffy sees things for what they are and not the way she wants to. LOL, nah, you haven't thought too much about the story - it's good to think ahead to what might come next. I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the chappy darling, many thanks for the lovely review.
