So very, very hot... and just the tiniest sprinking of sweet.

Just wrote a long and very enthusiastic review of your rather fab fic and then it disappeared! *rolls eyes and starts all over again*

LOVED it! Particularly:
your characterisation of Buffy really works for me - you have her opening up just a wee bit whilst maintaining her inability to vocalise and her hesitancy in being able to trust Spike's nature. To me, that slight skew in perspective gives her the chance to appreciate the shift in Spike's behavioiur over the past few years, which in turn gives him the opportunity of being more open and honest in his actions, as opposed to just her rude little f*ck toy...but you didn't have them stray far from type at all and I liked that; she's still unsure of where it's all going but she's not SO afraid to give an inch and explore a bit and I love the softer (but not mushy) way you have him react to that. Buffy as you've written her, and Spike's tentative but tender and still oh very Spikey reaction to her openess, pleases me greatly ... oh, as does the kink of course - momma like *grins*

The story's marked incomplete and so I'm hoping for more ... *flutters eyelashes* x

Author's Response: Gosh, this really made my day. :-) Thanks so much for the details of what you liked! I did try to keep the characteristics in place and am so glad it's noticable. Something a bit more AU can be fun occasionally, but normally I prefer canon (at least personality-wise). I that hadn't marked it correctly, this is supposed to be complete - for now anyway. ;-)

Oh you've posted already? HOT conclusion :)
Didn't see another chapter in the Yahoo-Group yet but this isn't marked finished. Do you have more written?

Author's Response: No, it's finished for the time being. Very glad you liked it!! :-)

Loved it ! HOT and SEXY!! Good for Buffy, went after what she wanted and is willing to try for a relationship with Spike...
Is there more to the story cause it's not marked complete?

Great chappie!

Author's Response: Thank you! Buffy in canon is way too ignorant of what she need, isn't she? Luckily there is fanfiction to correct that mistake. ;-) Sorry, I hadn't marked it right. It's complete. If I ever feel like it I might go back to this, but there is actually three years or so between when these two chapters were written, so the chance is slim for another one.
