When he woke, it was pitch-black -- and he still wasn't used to
darkness. Nothing was dark when you were a vampire. He'd been in places
where he couldn't see much, but he could always see
something. This moment of disorientation and thick,
palpable black pressing down on him always made his heart leap and thud
painfully. Which didn't help to calm him down either.
Not like he was going to go out and buy a sodding nightlight, though,
was it?
Spike rolled onto his back and glanced around, vague shapes starting to
appear as his eyes adjusted. England. Giles' house. Right. Desk over
there, with a computer on -- had to be Harris' and he probably drove
Giles mad playing games on it. Bookshelves everywhere -- no change
there.
A creak and then another had him staring up at the ceiling. Sounded as
if he was under one of their bedrooms and they were toddling off to
bed. He wondered who it was making all the racket. They both snored
sometimes, if memory served, but Xander was the one who thrashed around
most. God, he hoped he was under Giles' room, or he'd never get back to
sleep.
For a minute or so, there was silence, so Spike closed his eyes again,
but then he heard another creak and what might have been a moan. He
frowned. Was Giles sick? Another moan, louder, this one sounding more
like Harris, and then the creaks found a rhythm that Spike would have
recognized anywhere.
He was so surprised that, at first, his brain tried to come up with
other explanations. A whore's car had broken down outside and she'd
knocked on their door then offered to have sex with Harris as a way of
saying thanks for their help. Harris was jerking off alone, or maybe
shagging some kind of blow up doll on his squeaky bed. There had to be
a reasonable explanation for what Spike was hearing.
The sounds increased -- more moaning, two men's voices -- and Spike
couldn't deny it anymore. Giles and Harris were shagging. Each other.
Spike's hand was resting over his own erect cock, and when Giles
groaned and the head of the bed hit the wall with a muffled thud, Spike
shrugged and slid his hand under the waistband of his trousers. Might
as well have a wank, since they were putting on a show.
And that was all he had been doing lately. Oh, he'd gone out and got
laid, first chance he'd got, but it'd been some stupid tart he'd picked
up in a bar who'd giggled more than Harmony, which he hadn't thought
was possible, and it'd been less fun than he'd expected.
She'd thought the same, if her sudden silence afterwards was anything
to go by, and he'd left without bothering to explain that no, he didn't
usually shoot his load in under a minute, but this was the first time
he'd fucked anyone as a human -- ever -- because
that really wouldn't have gone down well.
But his hand, his dick; they were old friends, human, vampire, souled
or not, and the way his cock was aching and hard against his palm it
was appreciating the background music as much as he was.
He didn't give a toss what had got those two in bed with each other --
desperation, most likely, because no one else would have them -- but he
had to admit he was getting off on the idea, if only because it was so
very fucking wrong and that still appealed to him.
Harris had lost weight since Spike had seen him last, and put on some
muscle. The T-shirt he'd been wearing, short-sleeved and tight enough
to cling, had shown it off, too. Good enough to eat.
Spike shuddered, pumping his cock with fast, hard jerks thinking about
Giles doing just that as Harris moaned and whimpered, just like he was
doing now. God, he could hear everything! Inconsiderate gits.
Not that he was complaining, but they weren't even trying to keep quiet.
"Xander -- God, yes - Xander-"
He hadn't known Giles could sound like that. Husky. Desperate. Thud,
thud, fucking thud. Christ, they were going at it
like bunnies on crack.
"Fuck, yeah," Spike muttered, his fist moving faster, the slick sound
of his foreskin moving over the head of his cock making his balls
tighten up. Above him, the space between dull thuds had stretched out,
but the sounds themselves were louder, like Giles was really giving it
to Harris, deep, hard thrusts. He heard a muffled cry that might have
been Harris then Giles' answering groan, all creaking and thumping
sounds stopping. Spike could picture the look on Giles' face as he
came, emptying himself into Harris' body, imagined that body tightening
around his own cock. Spike didn't try to muffle his own cry when he
came, letting the hoarse shout escape him as his cock throbbed in his
hand, surprising him with the intensity of it. In the room above him,
there was a moment of utter silence.
