Drabble
Spillow for kallie_kat

Title: Tender is the Night
Pairing: Willow/Spike (soul-free, of course)
Rating: R, dark fic
Summary: This drabble is meant to be a part of an early series of mine called "When I'm Gone" in which Willow is captured by Spike. You don't need to read the series before you read the drabble, but if you want to the first five chapters are posted at Near Her Always.



He doesn't need to tie her up anymore -- all it takes is a half-hearted push and she's on her back, her wide green eyes staring off into the darkness above her. He'd think she'd gone catatonic if it wasn't for the trembling that starts at her mouth and makes it's way down to where his teeth are on the inside of her right ankle. It takes forever for him to break the skin because he likes to tease her by nipping just enough to hurt all the way up her leg. When he gets to the really tender part at the top of her thigh, he pushes her underwear aside and blows against her lips. He doesn't touch her there, just calls her names like "cunt" and "whore." When he sinks his teeth into her, drawing blood this time, he can feel her back arch as she gives out a hoarse scream that dissolves into sobs.

He doesn't know why he does it -- perhaps he's still a Victorian at heart -- but he takes his T-shirt off and arranges it over her torso before he blows out the candle and walks away.



frellingtinked, your Willow/Xander will be next!

I'm simply overwhelmed to hear that! Thank you! What a compliment!

And yes, I really do love this drabble...it creeps under your skin in a nice, uncomfortable way!
