“Richard!” Anita exclaimed as she and Jean-Claude were swept up into a powerful embrace. “You…What are you doing here?”
Setting her down, he looked at her with longing. “The council is in town. Where else would I be
“
“Ma petite and I are simply surprised to see you. You have been absent from us for some time, but it is always a pleasure having our third present.” Jean-Claude gave both of them a meaningful look. Richard was bound to Anita and Jean-Claude by the vampire marks. He was the third in their triumvirate of power. The dark-haired vampire did not wish the council members to know that there had been any dispute between the three of them; it would make them appear weak.
Richard gave Jean-Claude a knowing smile. “Of course I shouldn’t have stayed away so long. Much like our lovely Anita here, I needed time to find my footing with our new powers and what effect they would have on my pack. It wasn’t an easy time for me and I’m grateful for your patience,” he said formally, shocking Jean-Claude and Anita both.
“But of course, mon ami,” the dark-haired vampire replied with a careful smile. Things were always uncertain where Anita and Richard were concerned and it made him nervous. “I trust you found what you were looking for then?”
Richard gave a rich, throaty laugh. “I did. Let’s just say I was in need of some spiritual healing.”
He hadn’t realized what he said was wrong. How could But But suddenly several people moved back to look at Willow, giving Richard a clear view as well.
“Willow! It’s so good to see you again!” And then she was in his arms being spun in circles. However, a moment later she was flat out on the floor as Spike went crashing into the pair.
Richard tossed the blonde vampire aside and sprung to his feet with a growl, and then helped Willow up. Spike just lay on the floor for a moment, laughing somewhat hysterically, before rolling into a sitting position.
With a shake of his head, Spike’s laughter died. “Is there anyone here who HASN’T FUCKED MY MATE!?!”
Everyone stopped what they were doing, switching off the music so they could focus all their attention on this new form of entertainment.
“I repeat, who here HASN’T fucked my mate?”
Jason started to raise his hand, got it halfway up and paused, then started to lower and raise it as if unsure until Anita yanked it back down. She moved to stand in front of him protectively, looking angrily between Willow and Richard, but wisely she kept her mouth shut.
Richard gazed down at Willow, whose arm he was still holding. “Mate? This guy is your boyfriend?” skedsked in disbelief.
“Not exactly, sort of, maybe, oh heck, I don’t know!”
Spike got to his feet slowly. “You don’t know? YOU DON’T KNOW!?! What about all those things you told me, that you cared about me, that I was a champion? Was that all just bullshit?!”
“Spike, can we please do this somewhere else?” Willow pleaded.
“No! I want to know now. Were you lying?”
“No, I wasn’t lying.”
“THEN HOW CAN YOU GO AROUND FUCKING OTHER GUYS!?!” he screamed at he
“
“It’s complicated,” she said softly, hoping to diffuse the situation somewhat. “My new power makes me do things that I normally wouldn’t.”
He looked at her with disgust. “So you’re telling me you had no control over it?”
“Yes, that’s what I’m saying. But even so, I wouldn’t change what happened. I’m really sorry if I hurt you, but I helped Richard and Asher. I changed their lives for the better and I refuse to feel bad for something liket. It. I only regret that I caused you pain in the process. I care very much about you.” Her eyes and tone were pleading with him to understand.
Spike was unconvinced, his expression bitter. “If you truly cared, you wouldn’t have shagged these other blokes.”
“Oh, really? And what about you, you hypocrite? The moment you found out about the binding spell you ran off for three days to screw every Bette, Jane, and Mary you could find. Or did you think I didn’t know about that?” Willow yelled, her own ire startto rto rise. “And when you came back you treated me like a leper.”
“So this was revenge, was it?”
“No, you bleached moron, it wasn’t revenge! Believe it or not, not everything is about you. And what do you care anyway? You told me you could care less who I fucked, that I was a lousy shag anyway! So don’t you play the wounded soul with me, because we are all hurting around here, not just you.”
Willow stormed off, not wanting to look at the blonde vampire anymore. hea heart may be broken, but his was not the only one. If he really wanted free of her so badly, then she would find a way to break the binding spell that tied them together, even if it killed her.
Spike watched her go, unsure whether he should follow her and apologize, or just kill her. In the end he did nothing but stare after her, then stormed off in the other direction.
