Don't know where to start, this chapter was soo good ~ spike wanting to make sure xander wouldn't be freaked out, xander trusting spike so much that he wanted him despite being all tied up and the way spike made sure xander knew he hadn't done anything wring.
What really captivated me was the image of teenage xander all alone in his room, just figuring out the pleasure/pain thing without really understanding it ~ if willow and giles could just get a look inside his head, maybe they'd stop being so judgemental about spike and the new xander.
