Spike felt it, almost from the start -- that need in the boy, circling, shark-like, just beneath the surface.  Bided his time, because that's what was called for -- a lesson he'd learned at the other end of the leash.  Spike could be patient, if a thing was worth it, despite what people thought.  And it had been worth it, worth every hour of forbearance, to see the boy yield, the euphoric first moment of breaking.

Xander kneels, forehead pressed to Spike's feet, whispering, heartsick, please.

A gift to them both, the anguish, the hope, this body that begs to be bound.
