Sunny Afternoon
Spike woke in the early afternoon to find Xander gone from their bed. Which wasn't all that unusual, given that his lover was still human and had to actually work during the day.
But today was Saturday, and by unspoken agreement, that meant that Xander spent the day in bed with Spike, sleeping late and then snogging and shagging once Spike was awake.
But Xander wasn't there.
By the light filtering through the cracks around the door, Spike could tell that it was early afternoon, two, perhaps three pm. Nowhere near time to be up and about for any self-respecting vampire.
With a heavy sigh, Spike dragged his hand through his hair, trying to wake up enough to swing his legs out of bed and search for his lover.
He stumbled to the door, opening it slowly. Light filtered into the hallway from the living room, but from the safe shade of the bedroom he could see Xander lounging naked in the sun-flooded room. Spike smiled at the beautiful picture his lover made stretched out nude on the smooth wooden floor, strong lean muscles thrown into relief and highlighted by the sun drenching his skin.
He must have made some inadvertent sound, for Xander's eyes flew open suddenly and he turned his head towards Spike. Eyes searched for his, blinded momentarily by the contrast of light and darkness. When they finally met Spike's, a brilliant smile brightened his face and he glided to his feet, moving fluidly across the room to press his warm, sun-kissed skin against Spike's.
Their lips met in a slow, gentle kiss that turned into a full body affair as the heat from the sun seemed to fuse their bodies together in every place they touched.
Tangled, they stumbled back into the bedroom, barely managing to close the door against the moving sun, before they fell onto the safe haven of their bed.
Time slowed to a standstill as Spike laid out his lover on the soft cotton sheets.
Caresses to every inch of Xander's body, lingering touches as he soaked up the warmth of the sun, mingled with the heat of his lover's body and their passion.
Later, when the sun had disappeared behind the horizon, they went out into the darkness together.
And when they returned, it was Xander's turn to soak the cool whiteness of the moonlight into his skin.
