Oh that was close.

This is a really great story. You make them seem so real in their affection for one another. I didn't quite believe that Spike would actually, just give out all that info about himself without a fight though...Still, i understand the point of doing it like that. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response: I felt that Spike was getting frustrated, and after Buffy trying to leave his room once, he needed to get Giles to agree to what he's going to want him to do. He needed to shock Giles into thinking something other than the status quo. A Sire and Mating bond could make him extreme in his protection and means to get there. That was a main basis for why he did what he did. Hope that helps.

Jeez! I was on the edge of my seat, holding my breath!! Very cool! I loved, really loved how you did the history of Spike. Awesome job! Can't wait for more!

So loving this story. The way they are with each other is so childlike in thier mischeif and honest expression of love. It's so endearing and sweet. More please!

Great last two chapters. I love how they've gotten Giles on their side and I love how excite Buffy was about playing with the crucifix.

Still loving this, Tasha! This was a great chapter - back story, Giles being hard to convince, all good stuff.
