'Nother lovely chapter. I'm having so much fun with this! Again, it's impossible to say 'Poor Spike' this week... unless it's to say it about Xander's clearly ungrateful attitude for all the perks being bestowed upon him. *snerk*

It's nice to see Spike at least feeling in control of things. My only question is what he forgot to ask for in those cuffs. No running and no hurting Spike. Hmmm, it's early yet here, but I'm sure there's something's something he overlooked...

This really was a good prompt for this point in your story. Looking forward to next week. :)
