Content rating note: This fic is rated NC-17 for Spuffy hijinks.

 

Continuity note: This story takes place after the seventh season of Buffy assuming that the apocalypse is averted and all the Scoobies live. Giles has gone back to England (with any Slayers in training that survived) and Anya has decided not to go along. The story also assumes that Cordelia and Angel are dating by this time or, are at least on fairly friendly terms and acknowledge feelings for one another. The last episode I saw before starting this series was “Showtime” for Buffy and “Spin the Bottle” for Angel, so anything that occurs after may or may not apply to this series.

Xander pulled the big tan Winnebago up to the Summers’ house and gave the horn two quick toots, signaling his arrival. Buffy, Dawn, Willow and Spike came pouring out of Casa de Summers, their arms loaded with duffel bags of all shapes and sizes.

 

“Oh, this is so cool!” exclaimed Willow upon entering the vehicle. “I’ve always wanted to travel in a Winnebago! When we’re not being chased by Hell-Gods and freaky knights, that is.”

 

“You are a strange and wonderful girl,” replied Xander jokingly as he turned around in his seat to face the boarding passengers.

 

“This’ll be so much fun! An actual vacation!” exclaimed Dawn giving a quick squeal of delight as she piled on in.

 

Buffy and Spike followed with light smiles on their faces as they looked around at what would be their home for a good deal of the summer. Buffy had the whole summer off since she worked in the school, and Xander had amassed a good amount of vacation time at the construction company, allowing for a luxuriously leisurely pace to their trip.

 

Across from the door where they entered, and slightly to the left, was the bathroom, which included a shower. It was closed by a pea green folding divider that could be locked if so desired. There were cabinets next to the bathroom on the right and left and across the hall. Above the cabinets were four sleeping compartments. In the back, there was a large rounded booth with crimson red leather quilted upholstery and a big round table. In front of the table was a dining chair that looked like it was circa sometime in the nineteen fifties (steel framed with blue padding and shiny flecks embedded in it’s surface). It was bolted to the floor along with the table. To the left of that was the small kitchen. There was a fridge, stove and sink. In addition to all the traditional trappings one would expect from a deluxe recreational vehicle of that caliber, the windows had also been custom tinted, so that Spike would be able to travel with them and not end up a crispy critter or a big pile of dust in the daytime.

 

The gang unpacked their belongings and supplies, stocking the kitchen shelves and fridge with food, the bathroom with toiletries, and the cabinets with clothing, games, and videos. (Attached at the top end of the cabinet row that wasn’t next to the kitchen was a TV/VCR combination set.) They chattered excitedly as they worked to unpack. Spike was getting along easily with the girls now, although Xander was still not warming up to him at all. Still, the Scooby girls, and Buffy, had given Spike a feeling of belonging that he hadn’t felt in a long time.

 

After they were all settled in, Xander turned the ignition key, shifted into gear and said, “All right ramblers. Let’s get ramblin’!”

The Winnebago tore down the highway. Grandpa Jones blared out of the speakers. Xander’s pick. As the driver, he got first crack at selecting the music, and the goofy country twang of Grandpa Jones just seemed like good travelin’ music to Xander.

 

You can bet your bottom dollar

We’ll be happy one and all

Down in Dixie where they say you all

 

Xander sang along with the music as the others played a card game in the back. “Gin!” Dawn shouted triumphantly as she lay down her cards. The other players threw down their cards in disgust, grumbling. “Bwa ha ha ha,” Dawn laughed as she scooped up her winnings. Chocolate chip cookies with M&M’s embedded in them.

 

Suddenly hearing the call of nature, Xander shouted back “Hey, does anybody wanna’ do me a solid and take the wheel for a bit? I gotta’ use the little boys’ room.”

 

“I will!” Dawn popped up out of her seat, moving to the front.

 

“Oh no you won’t,” said Buffy in her best ‘mom’ voice as she grabbed Dawn’s shirt and pulled her back. “You can’t even drive a car, let alone a big RV with gears and massive unwieldiness. I’ll do it.” She made her way up front to relieve Xander. Dawn sat back down in her seat with a humph.

 

“So,” Willow began, turning to face Spike and smiling enthusiastically, “Buffy tells me this trip is kind of like a big ‘first date’ for you two.”

 

“It is?!” Dawn perked her head up. “You’re dating?!”

 

“I actually kind of thought she was kidding when she told me,” Spike replied, surprised that Buffy might be more serious about it than he thought. He looked back to Willow for her response.

 

“Nope, not kidding,” Willow said in a singsong voice, giving him a big smile.

 

“Well, I guess that’s okay,” Dawn started,  “Seeing as you’re all with the soulful goodness now. However,” Dawn cautioned, “you better not screw it up! I just got back to trusting you again and so did Buffy and-”

 

“Right, right. I get it, Little Bit. I get it.” Spike said as he held his hands up in the air like a bank robber surrendering to the cops.

 

They heard the toilet flush as Xander exited the bathroom. He stretched, and said with a bit too much enthusiasm, “Oh, Yeah! Feels good to get that out of my system!” This garnered a funny look from his trip mates. He clapped his hands together with satisfaction as he made his way back to his seat.

 

“He’s been eating a lot of cheese lately,” Willow offered as explanation. Spike and Dawn wrinkled their noses. “You know, too much cheese-”

 

“We get it!” Spike and Dawn exclaimed in unison, cutting her off before she could go on.

 

Xander thanked Buffy when he reached the front. “No problem,” she said and then waved him to the back, telling him she would go ahead and drive to the next rest stop that was coming up in 2 miles. He started to head to the back and then stopped.

 

“You know, I think I’ll just sit up front with you, and keep you company,” he said as he sat down in the front passenger seat.

 

“You don’t want to sit with Spike, do you?” Buffy asked, knowing the answer.

 

“How well you know me! Soul or no soul, that guy bugs me. Really sticks in my craw,” Xander said emphatically.

 

“What is a craw?” asked Buffy, “Is it a mouth?”

 

“I don’t know,” he replied with measured words, “But he just sticks right in it! Whatever it is.”

 

Buffy gave him a quick, bemused smile before she geared down and headed into the rest area.

“If he turns all evil, I told you so,” Xander chided only half joking, as they prepared to climb up to their respective sleeping cubbies.

 

Buffy rolled her eyes. “Xander, he is not going to turn evil. How many times do I have to go over this with you? He’s got a soul. And with a soul, he’s a good man. He’s proved it. You know he’s on the side of good.”

 

“Yeah, but he’s still got the demon,” argued Xander.

 

Spike glanced in the direction of their conversation. Before he was ensouled, he would have shot Xander a dirty look and thrown an expletive or two his way. In fact, now that he was chip-free, he could have gone over there and clocked him one. At least. But now he just went back to setting up his bed in the booth.

 

Better than the floor, he figured.

 

He kind of got Xander’s point of view now. He had been a bad man. No – a monster. And actually hadn’t been that “good” of a monster either. But that’s all over now. I’m free of that sodding limbo. I’m a man and the demon’s my bitch. He smiled at that thought.

 

As Spike watched Buffy defend him, his ire at the boy’s sniping faded even more. Tool Boy was all just background noise. Yes, she believes in me, he thought as he continued to listen in on the heated debate. More importantly, I believe in me. And I believe I want to start this vacation nice and peaceful like.

 

“How can you even think of dating him again!?” Xander continued. “After what he did-”

 

“That wasn’t really him. It was the demon inside him. He would never do anything like that with his soul,” Buffy exclaimed. “Do you hold the things Angelus did against Angel?”

 

“Yes! Yes I do!” Xander exclaimed. “Pretty much!” he added.

 

Buffy sighed. “You’re hopeless.”

 

“Still don’t you think it’ll creep you out when you-”

 

Good night, Xander,” Buffy said in an aggravated tone as she slipped into bed.

It called to her. Eat meee. Eat meeee. I am full of chocolaty goodness. You want to taste my crumbly graham cracker crust. Wake up and eat meeee. Buffy opened her eyes and surrendered to the call of the mud pie in the fridge. As she climbed down the ladder, she heard Spike mumbling something in his sleep. She crept closer and heard her name.

 

“Buffy…Buffy…” he mumbled as he tossed in his sleep. “No…Buffy…Buffy…” He repeated her name over and over.

 

Obviously a bad dream, she thought.

 

“Spike.” She nudged him. “Spike.” She nudged him again. “Wake up.” Finally, after she prodded him a bit more, he woke up. Startled. Game face on. He gasped and jerked up. “Spike! It’s okay. It’s just me. You were having a bad dream. Just a dream,” she said as she touched his vamped-out face, trying to soothe him. Her thumb brushed up against his lips and rubbed errantly against one of his fangs. Spike inhaled sharply. Still keyed up from the dream and now from Buffy’s touch, he was unable to get out of vamp face. “Are you okay? What’s the matter?” Buffy asked as she placed her other hand on his shoulder.

 

“Brushed a fang, luv. Might sensitive, they are,” Spike answered.

 

“Hmn,” Buffy replied curiously as she touched the fang again, with her index finger.

 

“Hey now!” Spike protested.

 

“I’m just curious. I’ve never felt fangs before. Not with my fingers anyway. Had a few in my neck, but that’s not quite the same thing,” Buffy rambled as she continued to probe. Spike relented.

 

“Just- Just don’t prick yourself, okay? Slayer blood is pretty intoxicating,” Spike warned.

 

“I’m being careful.” She explored the fangs, her fingers inadvertently brushing Spike’s tongue every now and then. When she pulled back, after Spike became even more panty than he already was before, she quipped, “I have just explored new levels of weirdness. I am a weirdo.” Spike chuckled and was finally able to morph back to normal. “Sorry,” Buffy said smiling.

 

“S’alright, luv. No harm done,” he replied smiling back.

 

Buffy was glad to see him smiling. Then she was distracted by a new thought. She could see he had no shirt on, but what about pants? She knew he slept in the nude frequently. Warily she asked, “You aren’t naked are you??” Spike chuckled again and replied in the negative as he moved the blanket to reveal black sweat pants. “Okay, ‘cause I was about to say…” started Buffy.

 

“I only do that in the privacy of my own room at home. ’M not an exhibitionist, pet.”

 

“Always a plus,” she quipped again before putting her hands on his shoulders and giving him a soft kiss. It was the first kiss she’d given him since he’d gotten his soul back. He didn’t know why she did it. Neither did she really. It was just an impulse. One that led to more, as she continued to kiss his lips. Spike tentatively put his arms around her, and when she didn’t pull away, relaxed and began kissing her back. She began to kiss him more intensely, darting her tongue in and out of his mouth. She stopped briefly to catch her breath.

 

“Buffy…” Spike began.

 

“I know,” she brushed her lips against his and continued, “I love you too, William.” His expression was bittersweet as tears rolled gently down his face. Spike opened his eyes and told Buffy that no one had ever said ‘I love you’ to that name before. Not in a romantic way. Not even Drusilla. Before he was Spike, he was her ‘dark prince’ or ‘Sweet Willie.’

 

Spike smiled as Buffy kissed his tears away. Even though she had rescued, cared for him and believed in him, he hadn’t allowed himself to fully hope to have his love returned. He never questioned her attraction to him but he knew that didn’t mean love to her. He had vowed to only believe it when he heard her say it.

 

After giving each other a look, Buffy and Spike began kissing again, starting lightly and then growing more passionate. Buffy’s hand moved down Spike’s chest and to his lap where she massaged his growing erection through the black material of his sweat-pants. Spike inhaled sharply and pulled back saying her name warningly. Then he looked up to the sleeping compartments containing the others and Buffy followed his gaze and meaning.

 

“Oh…” Buffy pondered for a bit and then got up from the booth and pulled the blanket over the table, concealing the space underneath. “There!”

 

Spike arched an eyebrow quizzically. Then Buffy sat down next to him and said, “As long as we’re very quiet, we should be okay.” Spike hesitated.

 

“We’re gonna be in this RV all summer. So…if we’re going to make love, we’re going to have to use a little ingenuity and be maybe just a little bit sneaky,” said Buffy.

 

Spike smiled and brushed his worries aside. She had never referred to their sexual liaisons as ‘making love’ before. It had always been ‘do it’ or ‘fuck.’

 

Buffy slid down under the table, her hand sliding down his body as she went. Spike smiled and slid down to meet her. As Spike lay back on the carpeted floor, Buffy straddled him placing her palms on his chest. Spike found himself feeling a little shy and struggled not to let it show. Then she bent down and kissed him, her hair falling around his face as she did so, and it felt right and good and the shy feeling left him. All he wanted was to touch and hold her and feel her love. So, Spike moved his hands up her warm thighs and around to caress her back as he deepened the kiss.

 

Buffy responded by rocking her hips against him. Then she broke the kiss and scooted back a bit, gasping for air. She moved her hand down to his crotch again and rubbed over the hardness there. Spike let out a shaky sigh and then whimpered a bit, trying his best to be quiet, as she caressed and massaged his stiff cock through the black fabric.

 

After he began exhaling in ragged spurts, she released him and slid forward straddling his lap again as his hands moved up her thighs and torso. Then she leaned down as his hands moved up to cup her breasts.

 

Spike rubbed his hands over the swell of Buffy’s breasts as she pressed her groin to his. The top of her head brushed against the underside of the table as she arched her back and sighed raggedly. Spike let out several shaky, excited breaths and moved his hands down to her hips, drinking in the sight of her.

 

Buffy looked down, and sitting up as straight as she could, undid half the buttons on her shirt.  Then she leaned forward again and moved Spike’s hand into her shirt and placed it over her heart. Pressing her hand over his, and rocking into him again with her hips, she whispered his name in a raspy voice. “Spike…"

 

Spike closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth of her body, the feel of her skin, and the rhythm of her heartbeat.

 

Then she backed away, stood on her knees, and pulled her pajama bottoms down, wriggling one leg free until they were in a wad at the end of one ankle. Then she pulled Spike’s bottoms down enough to free his erection and wrapped her fingers around it, eliciting a soft moan from him. Spike’s fingers dug into the carpet as she massaged and stroked his swollen member.

 

“Buffy…Oh, god~!” he struggled, as he was filled with a new and unexpected sensation. It wasn’t as if he hadn’t felt her touch on him there before, but now it felt different. Gentle instead of impatient, but it was more than that. “I feel so different! This feels so different.” Spike continued rapidly in a staccato fashion.

 

“Good different or bad different?” Buffy asked as she panted lightly.

 

“Good,” his voice wavered. Buffy stopped a moment as Spike continued. “Maybe- maybe it’s because of the soul.” Spike stuttered.

 

Buffy nodded her head in agreement, “After all, you don’t remember what it was like when you had a soul before you were a vampire, I guess,” she said.

 

“Wouldn’t have anything to remember, even if I could, luv.”

 

Buffy knit her brow in a moment of confusion “What do you mean? Didn’t you ever-” She stopped as she came to a realization. Her eyes widened in surprise. “Oh my god! You’re a virgin! Well, your soul’s a virgin anyway. Wow. I’ll be dipped.”

 

Thanks for not making a big deal out of it, luv.”

 

“Sorry,” Buffy said as she smiled impishly. Then she added, “Now I feel all special.” Spike smiled bemusedly.

 

Buffy moved forward to kiss him on the lips and then sat up to remove her underwear. She slid it down one leg to meet her p.j. bottoms.

 

Spike moved his hands over the front of her thighs, his thumbs brushing the insides of them. Buffy let out a ragged breath and then gasped sharply as he moved one hand up to cup her in between her legs, his fingers brushing against her clit as he did so. The top of her head rubbed up against the underside of the table again, as Spike moved his fingers over her swollen cunny, feeling the warm slickness there. Her fingers found his cock and began stroking, and then massaging it again, in return.

 

Buffy rubbed the head of Spike’s cock with her thumb as she moved her fist up and down its slick surface, rolling and working the sensitive foreskin. Spike let out more soft whimpers that would have been moans, if they had more privacy.

 

Spike moved the tips of his fingers back to Buffy’s clit and massaged it intensely, causing her to relinquish her grip on his cock and arch her back sharply. She pressed her forehead up against the cool surface of the table, breathing heavily and rocking her hips towards Spike’s caress. Then she started to slip backwards and Spike grabbed her hips with both hands to steady her.

 

“Careful, luv,” he whispered.

 

Buffy struggled to get out a “Thanks.” Then she moved forward a little and Spike returned his hand to her pussy, sliding two fingers into her as well this time. Buffy moaned as softly as she could manage and then grabbed a hold of his cock once more, giving it a rhythmic squeezing to match the treatment she was receiving.

 

“Oh! God! - Bloody –‘ell! – Oh, Luv! Sweet fucking Christ almighty-!” At the end of this stream of rapture-induced obscenities, Spike grabbed Buffy’s wrist and pulled his fingers from her quim. “Stop- Stop a second,” he stuttered.

 

Buffy, panting and concerned, asked “Was I squeezing too hard??”

 

“No~ I just didn’t think you’d want to make a mess all over the underside of the table. Or yourself, for that matter,” Spike said.

 

Buffy chuckled. “Yeah, we don’t want to have a ‘There’s Something About Mary’ moment later on,” Buffy agreed.

 

Spike chuckled and shook his head as if to say, No, no we don’t.

 

Buffy pricked her ears up for a moment, listening to make sure everyone was still sound asleep, then turned her attention back to Spike who was sitting up and leaning back on his hands, panting. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled into his face. “Ready, William?” she asked.

 

Spike gave her a toothy grin and replied amusedly, “Almost doused the table, pet. I’m ready right and proper.”

 

“Lay down then,” she commanded lightly, smiling. Spike obeyed and Buffy eased down onto him until he was in all the way.

 

They sighed together.

 

Buffy looked down at Spike’s expression of sublime contentment, closed her eyes, and sighed again. She then began swiveling her hips in a circular motion as she ground herself into him.

 

“Oooh! Oohh!” Spike exclaimed a little too loudly.

 

Buffy managed to get out a shaky, “Shhhh,” and Spike turned down his volume.

 

Buffy had to catch herself once or twice from bucking up and banging her head on the underside of the table. Finally, she bent down over Spike, face to face. “Can you hold me down?”

 

“Could. Could also give you a hand,” Spike replied

 

Spike placed his hands on her hips and began moving them for her. Buffy pressed her body against him tightly and let out a soft moan. Spike moved his hands to her buttocks and continued moving her against himself.

 

Buffy moaned again and brushed her lips against his. Soon they were kissing passionately only taking brief breaks for Buffy to breathe.

 

Spike rocked her against him faster and faster. Buffy stopped kissing and made desperate, happy, little noises against his neck as she raced towards climax. As she came, her nails dug into the carpet and her mouth opened wide in a silent scream that became a squeak. Spike hugged her tightly and buried his face in her neck, muffling himself as he spent into her while she continued to spasm against him.

 

They clung to each other as they came down from their climax.

 

“Love you,” Buffy said as she nuzzled his neck, still panting. “Love you, Spike.”

 

Spike kissed her forehead. “Love you too, pet.” He sighed, “God, how I love you.”

 

They lay there in each other’s embrace for a while longer.

Silverware clinked against dishes as Buffy and Spike ate the mud pie Buffy had been craving earlier. They’d gotten dressed and removed the blanket from atop the table, and so far no one was wise to their romp through the proverbial hay. They ate in silence, savoring the chocolaty goodness in the afterglow.

 

As they finished their pie, they both sighed and leaned back in the booth.

 

Sleep soon claimed them.

The other Scoobies awoke and climbed down from their beds. As they zombied over to the table they spied Buffy and Spike, still sound asleep, leaning back in the booth, and leaning on each other.

 

“Awww~” exclaimed Willow.

 

“Ugh!” Xander spat in disgust. “What does she see in this guy?!”

 

“Don’t be such a pooh!” scolded Willow. “Spike’s very nice if you give him a chance. You just have to look past the whole bad boy attitude.”

 

“I hate the bad boy attitude! And I’m not a pooh! You’re the pooh!” Xander volleyed back indignantly.

 

Dawn opened the fridge looking for something to eat, rolled her eyes and sighed at the bickering behind her.

 

 

--- To be continued

 

Grrrr! Arg!
