Enjoyed this update with all of its detail. Ennico's attempts to seduce Buffy are highly entertaining bringing out Spike's possessive side. Look forward to more!

Author's Response: Ennico is a bit mischievous isn't he. Deliberately provoking Spike perhaps? Thank you Vette.

I love this story, I hadn't seen the updates for awhile so was' pleased to get a number of chapters in one go!! Can't wait for more.

Author's Response: thanks PJ, I hope this next chapter doesn't slip under your radar.

This chapter had so many good scenes in it, and the dialogue throughout was great too. I also simply loved Ahnja's and Andii's appearance... lol! Wonderful update!

Author's Response: I really sweated over those two so am pleased that they worked for you. Another long chapter on the way.

Author's Response: Was your cat walking over the keyboard when you wrote this? ;) Thank you jamies_lady.

ROTFL!!! Another awesome chapter! I LOVE Andii. He is hilarious. And Ahnja! “You’re right, it does suit me...although I am glad that I ignored your suggestion of not wearing any undergarments, and crossing and uncrossing my legs in front of our guests.” Hahahaha! I wonder what else Andii thought of Basic Instinct!

I also laughed out loud at:
“Great, why don’t you sign my rump with a cattle-brand while you’re at it?”

Annoyed that she was reacting so badly towards his marks of affection, Spike retorted, “Well, since you’re being a complete cudder, you only have to ask!”

Wonderful work again. So glad you're still working on this fic. *sends your muse hugs to write faster!* :)

Author's Response: You picked out my favourite bits, thank you. I'm relieved that you got the film reference, I forget that most readers will probably be younger than me and may not have seen it. Thanks also from my muse for the hugs, they didn't make her work any faster but she felt a lot better for them.

As she arched her back before him like the figurehead on a ship’s prow, he bowed down his head to drive the waves against her once more. Gorgeous imagery right there.

And Faythe, bless her for bringing some foresight into the story! Oh yes, Buffy, you just might regret taking so long to give him a chance if you lose him, especially with the spooky prophecy in the works. I assume spooky, because you cliff-hangered it like some kind of evil temptress.

And Yay! Andrew and Anya!

Author's Response: I've never been called an evil temptress before. I like it! For someone who had never read romance novels until recently (for research purposes only of course) I seem to be making up for lost time, so I'm pleased you liked the ships prow stuff. At least it wasn't a train and a tunnel (smirks).

You know then I asked you about how Spike turn to be Droo's second favorite I mean the stroy of they 'relationship'. Not why he is second. How they met why he agreed to be another 'man' and so on :) Stil looking forward to all kind of trips down memory line.

Author's Response: I was teasing you a little there. Still you're right I should put in a little backstory there, perhaps I can go into it when they meet up with Droo again? After all, Buffy won't be so uncaring of Spike's previous relationships now.

Still love this one :) I have no idea where you're taking the story, but I can't wait to find out!

Author's Response: Well the plot is thickening (again) so I hope that you'll stay curious. Thanks djonie.

Once again, you hold me rapt...the story (and this chappie) is very engaging, lovely, really, and your characters are well drawn and fleshed out...(I like the attention to the villains and their, well, villainy, they are superbly revolting in each their own way)
The writing, needless to say, is superb. I appreciate that it is never boggled by unnecessary exposition.

I have a tendency to be lost when reading detailed action scenes, but never with yours, always vivid and pulsating...and um, maybe this is useful only to me, but easy to follow...

“Come here. Switch off that spinning brain of yours and relax. You can go back to being all contradictory in the morning.”
hahahaha...I love this...so funny...
I adore the way you write B/S interaction...you capture them so well...sweet, funny, and dare I say it, tender...and Never ever schmaltzy, not a feat easily accomplished. I always squeee when I see an update for this story.



Author's Response: Hello Sask, pleased that you enjoy the 'action' scenes, especially as I don't know one fighting move from another. I just try to imagine it happening and hope for the best. Hope the start of the next chapter isn't too soppy for you, I was treading a fine line here.

Yay update! Glad to see Buffy finally kick some ass! I was waiting for this chapter. It was frustrating that she hadn't unleashed her power to the full extent yet and that everyone was seeing her as this weak human. Great chapter! Love how Spike sneaked back was completely ruthless. Can't wait to see how this all unfolds. So much more to learn! Hope the next update comes soon. :-)

Author's Response: Well not exactly soon was it. Sorry. Buffy will definitely be testing her strength before too long, she'll have to. Thanks for the lovely review demona424.

i look for an update everytime I get on the site. love your story.

Author's Response: See, just when you'd given up on me, an update appears. thanks.

aww! that was a great fight scene and lovely tucking in. next time anja! woo hoo!

Author's Response: Mmm there's a lot of anticipation about Ahnja - hope I haven't let you down

Congrats on the noms and awards! This story deserves them all.

Author's Response: You're so kind. Thank you.
