Buffy being so concerned for Spike is lovely and this was wonderful: "Can be whatever you need me to be, Buffy," he said, ceasing his constant nibbling at her neck long enough to meet her eyes. "You tell me what you want from me."
Buffy stared into his eyes, reading all the things she'd been trying not to see, but finding them not nearly as frightening as she'd expected.
"I want the Council not to kill you," she blurted, surprising herself as well as Spike with the desperation in her voice. "And if you stay here, I'm afraid they're going to try."
"Can't leave you, Buffy," he said, falling backwards and pulling her tightly against his body. "Don't make me leave, love. Don't make me leave," he finished in a whisper.
"I don't think they'll let me keep you," she whispered back, not caring that her robe had slid completely off her body and she was naked against him. "I don't know what to do."
"Let me love you. Let me stay here and love you. You know I'll watch your back. We could make you the longest lived slayer in history." Buffy's right to be worried about how Giles and The Council are going to deal with Spike, but for now they get to be basking in this relationship and it's making for a well written, in voice and delightful read.
Caught a typo: Buffy rolled her eyes at his leering face and snaped, "Pig!." and I think this is missing an a: "See you after ( a) while, love."
I had to hunt down Chapter 17 - would you mind if I friended you for updates that don't fit the prompts?
