"So tell me more about this mystery man." Willow welcomed the chance to talk to her best friend. They haven't talked in a long awhile.

Buffy wasn't sure how Willow would react to what she was about to tell her. "Um… I found someone who makes me comfortable when I'm with him, he's also kinda like a warm security blanket. He respects me. Doesn't want to push anything on me."

"You and Giles finally got together Great!"

"Um no, Will. Giles? He only sees me as a daughter, maybe as a friend…."

"Buffy, you are sooooo wrong. Are you really that blind????"

"Hunh?"

"Giles almost went back to London because you weren't in his life anymore. Then there has been the looks when you two were around…"

"There were looks???"

Willow nodded, "And the depression he got into when you weren't there. I know not very tale tell signs, but you can read his body language when you two are together."

"Oh." Buffy's eyes widened, "OOOOOhhh." She got up and paced the room, "Truth Will….. I had feelings for him when we went up against the Master and then the feelings got tossed around for awhile and the prom, he was so…. So good looking, major yummy factor going," her friend could only with the prom statement as Buffy continued, "I was just afraid, you know. I've messed everything else up in my life, I was just afraid of loosing him." Buffy paced the room unsure of what to do. She loved both men. She decided to figure it out later, "You'll meet him at the Bronze tonight."

"Tonight tonight?"

"Yes tonight, this very night why?"

"Um Giles is coming tonight too."

"FUCK!"

At the Bronze the Scoobies laughed and fritted about when Giles came up to them.

"Hello all. Buffy how are you? And where's your date that Willow said you would be bringing?"

"I…. Um….. he's getting drinks for us." No sooner had she said that did he come. "Um Giles this is Charles."

He looked at him with disdain. <Bloody hell he's my age! The ponce! I thought she never want to be with someone as old as me. Fuck this! He won't be with her for long. No more seconds for Ripper. Not this time! >

The two men looked each other over, both very British, tall and handsome. Willow accidentally spilled her drink on Charles.

"Oh dear."

"Don't worry luv, I'll just go have this cleaned up."

Giles pushed back from the table, "Allow me to help you."

Buffy was shocked, "Wow, Giles is taking this well."


In the washroom, Giles shoved the wanker against the wall. "I don't know what bloody game your playing, but she's under my protection. Besides I rather fancy her myself, if you value your life, be somewhere…else…. Like another continent."

"Sorry old man, I don't know what your deal is with her, but in case you haven't noticed she's mine now."

The frustrations of the day came out as he started to pummel Charles, getting a few punches landed on him as well. "Buffy belongs to no one." Slamming a few more punches, and a kick for good measure. Now leave and don't come back."

Charles looked at him and left the bathroom.

"Ta mate." He smiled at himself as he left; now he'll have his chance.

"Sorry Buffy, but this isn't really my place, I have to go."

"Go??? Go where?" She looked at him, noticing the blood on him, then at Giles, "What the hell did you do?"

"Buffy…." He regretted doing this to her, for being so selfish. He saw her run off after him. < What have I done? Dear God, what have I done? > he hung his head in shame and the Scoobies tried to console him, but it was no use and so he left.

Giles sat at home drinking straight out of the bottle thinking… well of everything…. How he failed her during the test, how worried he was when she disappeared to LA, when she persisted on seeing that monster Angel after what he did to him, how he pushed her away when Olivia was around. He's caused he so much pain and he had scarred her happiness away.

<Great going ole man. You want her so badly that you'll make her miserable just to do it.> He got up and flung the bottle at the wall, smashing into several pieces. <Sod it all! She can't possible ever want to see my face again.> He grabbed his keys and left out. Started his car and proceeded down the street in a zig zag pattern

*******************************************

"I can't believe he did that!"

"Buffy, you got to remember, he loves you, he just was being human. I think Giles is capable of being jealous you know."

"I suppose your right Wills."

The phone scared both girls and Buffy got up and answered it, as she was talking her face paled and she hung up the phone. Tears started streaming down her face.

"Buffy??? Buffy what's wrong? Please tell me."

"He… He was in an accident. I gotta go."

She pulled on her arm. "Who?"

"Giles. It's Giles, oh my god, Giles." She sank down the wall to the floor and started to heavily sob. Willow got down and tried to comfort her.



At the hospital, Giles laid in a coma after striking a lightpole with his car. Fortunately the council used their power to pull him out of any legal repercussions, but him, physically they couldn't do anything for. Every machine possible was sustaining him right now. Buffy's heart broke when she saw him like this. Her sobs escaped her and she tried to reach for his hand, but ended up passing out.

She woke up and the doctor was over, "Easy, your body had a shock regarding the news about Mr. Giles. Are you his daughter?"

It was then Buffy truly decided, "No, girlfriend. How is he?"

"Too be honest, it doesn't look so good between previous injuries and this accident, he may die."

Buffy looked at him; "I'm going to stay here." She got off the gurney and walked back to his room. "I'm so sorry. I should have stopped you and talked it over, tell you I was thinking about breaking up with him anyway, just wanted to find my own way. Tell you that its you I want to be with. Oh god Giles, I love you!" she started sobbing again and the next thing she knew she was being shoved to the side as crash carts entered the room, she looked at Giles heart monitor and saw it was flatlined. "OH GOD NO! GILES! I LOVE YOU!"

*************************************************

 

Jenny was sitting in front of him, "Hey Sexy Fuddy Duddy."

"Jenny!"

"Before you get to excited, think about where I am now. Are you still happy to see me?"

His smile faltered, "I'm sorry, God, I should be happy to see you, but if I do that means…."

She caressed his cheek, "That you're dead."

He looked on through the room and saw Buffy weeping uncontrollably, "Oh god no. I failed you again." He hung his head in shame. He felt a hand come around his shoulder.

"You have never failed her."

"How can you be so sure, look at what I've done to her."

She looked him in the eyes and smoothed his hair away; "She loves you Rupert, look at her. Do you think that she could feel that you failed her. You never have. You were destined to be together. She loves you. Feel her thoughts, look into her heart."

He looked at her and felt her slip around him… or actually himself looking through her eyes. He saw everything they had been through, good and bad, how she always looked at him, no matter what she has always loved him, and even more now. She felt the words she wanted to tell him before this mess started and he cried for the loss. He can't even comfort her. He felt all the things she wanted to do with him. ALL THE THINGS. She never thought she could feel that way about him. Now he'll never be able to explore their life together, never marry her, and raise children. His heart fell heavy with all the would've could'ves and should'ves.

"Are you ready to come home?"

"Of course not. I don't want to leave her. Oh Jenny. I've fucked up so bad. I love her so much."

"I know Rupert."

The light grew more intense.

"Its time Rupert……" her words became broken and not complete, "goodbye. It's for the best."

He looked back at Jenny, "Buffy, I'm so sorry I never got a chance to tell you, how I really feel about you. You mean so much too me. Now I have to let you go and I feel I don't want you. You have been the guiding light in my life." He started crying and somehow, he felt her crying too, she could hear his thoughts to her. "Goodbye My love."

*********************

 

The tombstone read had his name his birthdate, but the death…… he couldn't read it. He ran backwards, "Buffy!"

"We got him!"

Buffy heard him cry out for her, and her heart started beating again. "Giles! Giles!" She raced over to him. "I'm here Giles." She grabbed his hands as fresh tears started anew. "I'm not leaving. I'm here." She squeezed his hand harder.

"Ouch."

She lightened up her grip, "Oh god I'm so sorry."

"No love, I'd rather feel the pain, then never see your sweet face again."

"Oh god Giles, Don't do that again." She held him tight.




"Miss Summers, He's looking better now, I expect he'll make a full recovery."

"Oh that's great! Thank you so much! When can he go home? Can he go home now?"

"He needs a great deal of care, certain pills…."

"Please Doctor?" he looked into her eyes.

"Alright, there's things to go over with you. Medications, side affects and of course paperwork."

"Right, let's get on it."



Buffy helped him up the steps and opened the door to his house.

"Ok, I'm going to settle you in, then I'm going to pick up a few things for myself and run right back. I don't want you to budge, not an inch."

"Yes Nurse Buffy."

She smiled that can come another time, when you are up to it.

His eyes widened at the double meaning and then smiled. He truly was in heaven now. "I love you."

********************************

 

Buffy walked in through the door, "I'm back."

"Oh good."

She spotted him in the kitchen, making something to eat.

"You can't wait a half hour before I come back??!! I told you not to move." She moved through the kitchen and procedeed to get him back on the couch.

"I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself."

"That's why your in this mess now." She regretted it as soon as she said it. She saw the hurt in his eyes.

"It was the stupidest thing I could've ever done. I could have gotten someone killed. Damn it, I know better."

"Yes you do, which makes it even more painful, I'm just thankful that you weren't killed." She hugged him and laid her head on his chest.

Rupert remembered the fear he had when he thought he'd never see her again, and tears started to fall, "I'm sorry. I acted like a horse's ass."

She rose up too a sitting position, "We all act stupid at one point or another," she wiped the tears away. She wanted to make all the pain go away, She lifted his head till their eyes met, from eyes to lips and back to eyes again she deided finally to show him, how she feels as she leaned in to kiss him. It was a sweet kiss, which grew more intense with the amount of kisses finally tongues meshed, sliding around searching, fighting. He unbuttoned 3 of her shirt buttons and as he slid over to get a better angle on her…

"OWWOWOWOWOWOOW!!!!!!!"

Buffy jumped back, laughing, "I think now is a bad time to continue."

He looked at her through puppy dog eyes, "But Love…."

"No buts mister. I just got you out of the hospital and I like where your at now. Besides the doctor said maybe in two weeks."

He groaned loudly and then smiled, "This is going to be torture."

"Well, think of it this way, I'll be waiting on you hand and foot, taking care of you're needs."

"I have needs woman! NOW!"

She giggled at him, "Maybe I can do something for ya after all."

*************************************

 

For the last couple of weeks Buffy continued to patrol and eliminate the opposition, she had just finished off the last vamp when she felt 2 arms come about her waist and lift her in the air. She managed to free herself to spin around and face her attacker. She was met with a piercing green eyes, a hooped earing and a wonderful smile on his face that lit up the entire cemetary. The black jeans clung to him and the black buttoned shirt made him irrisitable.

"Someone is feeling frisky."

He grabbed her to him, pressing his erection into her. He growled as he claimed his kiss from her. He held her firm by her hair as he traveled down to her neck.

She felt her knees weaken, <God Giles is such an animal.> His ministrations was weaking her more, finally her senses kicked back in and just before she could stake the approaching vamp, Giles … Um Ripper…. No… one and the same… reached behind him and staked the vampire without even looking and breaking from his work.

"Um… Oh god that's…." She was loosing coherent thought again. "Don't… OOOOOhhhhh…. It's a cemetary."

"So?" He continued teasing her and slipped his hands under her top, finding the sensitive nubs.

"How long…. Oh god…. Before we're interupted again?"

He pulled away, "I suppose you do have a point." He was frustrated again.

She understood how he was feeling, "How about I cut patrol for tonight, you still need me at home."

His eyes perked up, "Yes, YES at home, I need a lot of care. I want to also thank you for your care."

They walked hand in hand back to his home, stealing a few moments here and there for a few kisses and some touching. When they walked in through the door, she was taken back my the low lighting and the feast that was on the table.

"You have been busy." She lifted the cover on the hot food and let the aroma waft out, "Oooohhhh Yummy." She put the lid back and went to wash up, as Giles went around to light the candles that have been carefully set out, so he can ditch the other lighting.

When she came out what she saw made her breathless. His face was awash in the candlelight and his earring reflected the light and made it stand out more. She walked over to him and took his face in her hands, kissing his lips lightly at first. "You know suddenly I'm hungry for something else." She grabbed his hands and walked him upstairs, reclaiming his lips again.

His own hunger for what he's missed for the last few weeks, pushed him on taking off her top and deftly removing the bra she was wearing, his hands wandered all over and she, too was helping him divest the clothing he was wearing. Key word was. She too was bare after that. He continued his assault upon her that he had started at the cemetary, but descended lower taking in each globe at a time. Paying each breast equal attention. He picked her up and laid her on the bed. She squirmed under him as he continued to plant soft wet kisses, moving her legs apart and planting kisses on the inside of her thighs. Her back arched when he dove into her clit. She slid her hands over her breasts tweaking the nipples. It didn't take long before she felt herself come.

He worked back up, remarking the path he had travelled earlier and buffy had exchanged positions so that she was on top, she was going to give better then she had received if that was at all possible, since so far it has been mindblowing. She licked the precum off the head, it tasted sweet and decidedly she wrapped her lips around the tip letting it fall out as she grazed it by blowing lightly across it, causing him a sharp intake of breath. Slowly she licked the underneath of the shaft, tip to nuts. She cradled the sac in her hands as she ran her tongue back up and swallowing it completely. She labored on it, going up and down twisting from now again. Stopping at various levels, working him up. His member somehow manage to stiffen more as he shot his load into her hot mouth.

She managed to swallow before being thrown onto her back. "Is that all you want luv?"

She looked at him, "Giles! You know what I want."

"Oh do I now??" He had a very playful grin on his face and a very frustrated Slayer underneath him. He licked at her nipple.

"Oh God Rupert! I want you inside on me, please fuck me."

He chuckled at hearing her say that and inserted himself inside of her, he sat back and pulled her to him. He worked himself inside of her while nibbling on her ear, Their positions changed and now she was riding on top of him, up and down. Positions got changed again and buffy found herself on her side, with one leg over his shoulder and his other leg off the bed on the floor giving himself leverage to pump hard into her. Ramming harder and harder until they both finally came. She flooded around him as he sprayed his seed all inside her. Slowly he pulled out spent.

He pulled her from the bed to go downstair into the bathroom. Starting the water, he returned to kissing her senseless again and the steam clouded the entire room. Life began stirring in his rod and bent her over the tub with the shower curtain seperating her from the now scalding water. Pushing into her, running his fingers around her sensitive clit.

Her screams were echoing through the room as she came close again.

"Oh Rupert…… I'm coooommmmmiiiiiinnnnnng."

He felt her let loose again, and he continued to thrust a few times, before he joined her in the bliss. He straighted her back up as he caressed her breasts and once again he got hard.

"Geez, you really are stevedore aren't you. Making up for lost time??"

"Well, do you really need sleep for the next couple of weeks, for me to catch up, I'd have to have you 24 hours of the day for the next 10 months, to remotely catch up on a quarter of it. I would settle however if you were to move in with me."

"I was hoping you'd say that. You feel up to doing it tomorrow?"

"I feel up to it whenever your around luv."

She slapped him playfully, "I meant moving me in. Pervert!"

A smile crept on his face, "I'd love that a lot luv, then we can order something and have some sex…. Not necessarily in that order.
