| Dancing Part 11 by Kass Shakespeare Dawn started her daily schedule with a shower and a quick breakfast. She had slept a little longer after going to bed so late last night and didn�t have enough time for a big breakfast. After two cups of coffee and a toast with marmalade she left the house and went to the dance school. She hadn�t seen Buffy or Angel, they were maybe still sleeping. Dawn wondered if Buffy had the chance to talk to him, she just really hoped everything would be fine between them. Dawn didn�t like to see her sister unhappy. Buffy maybe didn�t know that, but if someone hurt Buffy she would protect and defend her the same as Buffy tried to do. She was glad Buffy had finally accepted her relationship with Spike. Already 10 am, I have to hurry, she thought and walked a little faster to the dance school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Buffy woke up as she heard the door slam. Dawn probably just left for training. She tried to adjust her eyes to the darkness of the bedroom. Living with a vampire didn�t allow her to be waken up by the first sunbeams and she often didn�t know which time of the day it was when she woke up. �Good morning,� Angel said whose eyes were much better than hers. He had seen her waking up. �Morning,� she replied smiling and kissed him. She was so happy that they had figured everything out. Last night Angel had come back very late, and she had been waiting for him all the time. She expected a long conversation about her silly behaviour of the last few days but instead she had only said sorry and Angel had accepted it immediately. He had hugged and kissed her and they didn�t have to talk. Angel knew how much she loved Dawn and that she only wanted to protect her sister. But Buffy had wanted to make everything up to him, and she had. Angel pulled her closer in his arms. �I love you Buffy,� he said. �I love you too,� she answered. �No more fights, promise!� �No more fights,� he repeated and kissed her again. Buffy sighed happily and doze off in his arms for some more hours. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Training went very well that Tuesday, same on Wednesday. Dawn was happy that they finally had figured everything out and only needed to work on the details a bit. The only problem was the part where Jim had to lift her up and she had to stay in that position for several seconds. She had to half sit on his shoulder and then slide down along his body slowly, turning around again. The problem only was that she always came down too fast and Jim couldn�t hold her up when she let herself fall. �You have to press your body against mine, okay?� Jim explained. �And then tighten all your muscles until your feet have contact with the floor again.� Jim was incredible. He could analyse every mistake to the tiniest detail and they could work it out together. Dawn nodded and they tried it again but there was still something she did wrong. �Maybe it�s me, I am not strong enough to hold you.� �No, it�s me. I can�t expect that you hold all my weight only with your arms.� Dawn sighed. �Well, you don�t weigh that much, you are light like a feather but in the last bit my arms always go down,� he said. �Hmm, I don�t know,� Dawn pondered. �But is that really so important?� �Yes it is. They will watch on every detail. Even the slightest mistake can be important and they would chose another couple who does that more smoothly,� Jim answered. �Maybe we should just skip that part at all.� �No, I want that part, it�s great,� Dawn said quickly. �We will find a way.� �Okay,� Jim agreed. They trained some more and then Dawn left in the early evening, heading home. She wanted to get something to eat because they didn�t allow themselves a lunch break. It had been very hard today. They couldn�t try that part too many times because Jim�s arms were too weak after the tenth time and it still didn�t work out perfect. Dawn had a quick dinner and then went to the motel. She had been thinking of Spike the whole day and couldn�t wait to see him any longer. She had missed him terribly. She knocked on the door of room number 23. �Come in,� he called from inside. It was still light outside and he couldn�t go to the door to open it. Dawn carefully stepped in, avoiding to let too much sunlight into the room, which was only lit by a small bed lamp. �Hey,� she said and quickly walked to the bed where he was sitting. He got up and hugged her tight. �Hello luv.� She looked into his eyes and then kissed him, first slow and sensual but then passionately and Dawn wrapped her arms around his neck. After a while she pulled free again and smiled at him. �How was training?� he asked, still holding her around her waist. �Oh, it went good, except for one part.� Her fingers played with his hair again, she just loved it. Dawn wondered how he would look like with his natural hair colour but the peroxide blond suited him perfectly. �What part?� he asked. �A difficult one, it�s hard to describe when you don�t see it,� she answered. �Oh, well, maybe you can show me?� Spike suggested. Dawn pondered for a second. �Okay, just stay where you are. When I run to you, you have to lift me up so I am half on your shoulder and then I have to slide down your body very slowly.� �But I don�t have to do any steps or so? Because I can�t do that.� He looked a little sceptic. �No,� Dawn chuckled. �Just give me your right hand and with the other you hold me around my waist.� Spike nodded. �Okay, go ahead.� Dawn walked a few steps away from him and then ran to him, jumping up. Spike did everything right except he didn�t know what to do when he had lifted her up. He started stumbling backwards and they fell on the bed. �Whoah! You gonna do that on the contest? I know those dances are very erotic but I didn�t know it included jumping your partners bones.� He smirked. Dawn rolled her eyes and laughed. �You are not supposed to fall down, silly!� �Okay, let�s try that again,� he said and got up. This time Spike managed to lift her up and she turned around so she could hold her weight on her left hand in his right one. �Okay, how do you get down again?� he asked and let her jump down because he couldn�t hold her any longer. �You have to reach your right hand around my waist when I let go of it and then I slide down,� she explained. Spike nodded and they tried it again. This time he did what she had told him and he held her in front of him. As soon as both his hands were on her hips there was no problem. He looked up into her eyes and she tightened all the muscles in her body while he slowly let her slide down. They held eye contact as he felt her muscular little body rubbing against his chest and then further down. They were so close to each other that not even a piece of paper would have fit between them. It was surprisingly easy with him and Dawn knew what the problem with Jim was. She didn�t feel this passion with him. She didn�t want to feel every inch of his body pressed against hers but here with Spike she did. Their faces were very close as she almost made contact with the floor again. Smoothly without a single interruption she finally slid down all the way. �Wow,� she said, breathing a little faster but not because of the exhaustion. �What was the problem with that part?� Spike finally asked, trying to hide his jealousy. If that was what she would do with her dance partner he definitely wouldn�t be able to watch it, but he didn�t want to get angry again. �Well, I think it didn�t go so well because it�s different with Jim.� �What do you mean?� Dawn made a thoughtful face. �This was so different with you. It felt so good and�and with Jim it�s only dancing, you know what I mean?� They still stood very close, his hands resting on her hips. �I think so.� She looked up at him and grinned slightly. Then she grabbed his head and pulled him near, slamming her lips on his in a passionate kiss. Spike tightened the grip around her waist and returned the kiss with equal desire. He wanted to feel her closer, wanted to take her and touch every inch of her body. He wanted her so badly but she pulled away from him again. She rested her head against his forehead, breathing fast. �Spike, I�I don�t want to�� He put his finger on her lips. �Shhh, it�s okay, I can wait.� Bloody hell! What was he saying? He didn�t want to wait, he couldn�t bear looking into her beautiful blue eyes and feeling her hot lips on his without wanting to throw her on the bed and feel her beneath him, surrounding him. But he had to. He tried to think on something that would cool him down and turn him off but all he saw in his inner eye was her, all he smelled was her sweet scent and all he felt were her little fingers in his hair and on his neck. Dawn smiled and went over to the bed. �How about me lying in your arms again for some time and we talk about music?� Didn�t she know how much she turned him on? She played games with him to torture him and he wouldn�t allow her to do that to him as if he was her faithful puppy. �Okay,� he said and followed her. Bloody hell, she already had him under her thumb. |
