That Voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me.

It’s been a long night and I’m starting to feel it in my bones, taking the seat at the bar that Lorne gestures towards and resting my folded arms on the counter, trying to pretend it’s not the only thing that’s holding me up at the moment. "Not sure what you want, Lindsey. You know that all this is gonna end you up in

“Didn’t tell me you were a good singer...You could’ve had me out of here with one song, darling.”I smiled slightly, I just couldn't help it. "I don't sing that well..." I reached up and brushed some of his hair away from his eyes. "Looks like I could lull you to sleep with a lullaby four words long

"Always knew you southern folk were the incestuous type..."Now what the hell was that supposed to mean? I'm distracted by Tara's cool soothing touch, resisting the urge to put my arm around her and rest my head on her shoulder. It'd be so nice, just curling up for a bit. Bet her cool skin would feel like heaven with this fever that's settling into me

I can hear Lindsey's heart slow before it speeds up again, his body fighting for sleep while he tries to stay awake. Lorne leaves us and I reach over and run my hand over his arm, trying to soothe him however I can.

"What do you say we just crash here tonight? Lorne keeps a room for me downstairs, and I don't really feel like draggin' my ass all the way back to your place."His voice breaks me out of my thoughts and I look down at him, resting my head against his and I nod slowly. "I don't have a place..." I mutter before nodding and pasting a small smile on my face. "Ok," I murmur softly, shifting on the stool and helping Lindsey to his feet, my eyes catching sight of the 'no violence' sign and I realize that's part of why he wants to stay. It doesn't bother me and I know it should, but then again how can I ask someone to trust me when I don't even trust myself

"Lindsey, c'mon, stay with me. We'll sleep soon..."

Sounds like a Nobel award-winning plan if I ever heard one. I curl my fingers around her shoulder, doing a pathetic job of hiding just how weak I am right now. As embarrassing as it is, I wish Lorne could see this side of her... the side that helps the silly dead-on-his-feet guy with a crush into bed, when she could easily have dragged me out the back door and finished me off.

"Thanks," I mumble. I find the bed in the dark with my knees and flop onto the mattress a little bit ungracefully, even as she helps me down. But I'm still not letting go of her just yet.

"What do you need? Anything?"

Need her. I pull her down me in answer, leaning up to brush my lips over the smooth chill of her own. She feels so good... I push her borrowed jacket back off her shoulders, craving the touch of her bare skin

[sexytarawitch]

I find myself pulled down to him, his lips over mine and the look I can see in his eyes...

"Stay."Brushing his hair from his face I nod, "Ok." I pull his jacket all the way from my shoulders, it hitting the floor with a muted sound before pulling off my shirt and jeans, leaving me standing in front of him in just my underwear. "Move back, we'll get you under the sheets

She doesn't even realize what a tease she is, undressing like that, efficient and confident and beautiful... and here's me, too damn tired to do more than watch her through half-lidded eyes. Soon as I get my strength back...

But for now, I just float along on the sensations; her fingers working my buttons, the sharp taste of citrus, and then the silken coolness of her skin. If someone had told me a few years back that I could ever been this entirely grateful to curl up with a vampire in my bed, I would've laughed them out of town.

I slide my arm around her, sighing at the feel of her cheek against my shoulder and her fingers in my hair. You'd hardly expect a vampire to be so... comforting. But that's just it; the soul is a loophole and I'm hardly thinking of her as a vampire, even though she had her fangs in my neck not even 5 hours ago. It's a dangerous mindset. And right now, I could care less.

"Thank you."I kiss her hair gently, letting my fingers trail slowly down the line of her back. "Didn't..." I'm interrupted by a yawn,

Lindsey's arms are tight around me, almost protective and my body relaxes totally, the weight and warmth of his body against mine making me feel safe. I missed feeling safe.

"Didn't...Didn't do much. We'll figure the rest out... tomorrow..."

His breath makes me shiver but the feel of his hand pressing on my back and keeping me to him puts me on edge for a moment before I find myself at ease again. "Tomorrow," I whispered nuzzling my neck in his shoulder and gently lapping at his healing bite. In such a short time I felt so protective of him, it made me think of Spike and his posessive nature. I didn't want to be like that.

I reached over for the edge of the blanket, pulling it higher over us as I found myself starting to hum softly, my hand running over his back and shoulders and I felt him drift off, leaving me with my thoughts till Lorne's house band finally stopped playing and I drifted off.

"S-spike...how? How did you find me?"

"I'm your sire, I'd always find you, pet. Can't get away from me that easy..."
