That Voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me.
[Continued from here.]
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 ( Read more... )

"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."
With slow movements I manage to get him half undressed and under the covers, leaving him there for a moment as I moved to the small crate in the corner that had orange juice; it was so strong I could smell it the instant we got in here.
Popping the can open I head back to the bed, climbing in next to him and helping him sit up slightly. "Drink this, Lindsey." Without a fight he does and as soon as half the can is gone I set it aside and he weakly pulls me down into the bed and I nod.
"I'm here, I won't leave unless you w-want me to." I felt calm and safe for the moment. I knew Spike didn't know where I was, this bar was protected and if I needed I could get blood from the bar. I just had to survive tonight and then I could worry about tomorrow.
Lindsey's arm wrapped over my waist and he pulled me tightly to him, I shifted in the bed and wrapped my arms around him, his heated skin cooled by mine and I pulled the sheet over us, my body pressed tightly to his as I stroked his hair. "Thank you."
I felt myself relax and I knew it was because I didn't have to worry...it was a good feeling. Maybe I'll even sleep...

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, blinking hard as my eyelids go as heavy as bricks. "Didn't do much. We'll figure the rest out... tomorrow..."
With my hand curled lightly between her shoulder blades and my cheek just brushing her soft hair, I close my eyes and let sleep drag me down, more content right here than I've been in ages.

"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..."
