Yes, this is Spike, mega-possessive, but patient, waiting, spinning like a spider.

Yessss! he is so obsessive-possessive about what he loves, and Xander is so damn needy and hungry for love. And so under-appreciated!

oh, that last line was strong and perfect. Down to the contemplative, evilicious smile I can all but see on Spike's face.

That line was a last minute addition, so I'm very glad that it worked! And yeah, you know he's got his 'I'm evil and you love it' smile on. *g*
