"Well, that was... not completely humiliating," Spike commented, embarrassed
to the core. He unwound himself from Xander, climbed off his lap with as much
dignity as possible, and cast about for some clothing. Spike was feeling very
naked at the moment, and being literally so wasn't helping matters. "I don't
think I've been this bleedin' red-faced since Angelus took me over his knee at a
society soiree and tanned my bare bum in front of all and sundry."
"I can picture how that would be embarrassing," Xander snickered. He rose,
dusted the sand off him, and moved to dress as well. "Kinda naughty, too."
Right, kinda naughty. Now Spike was even more embarrassed. "So, er,
what was with the light show?" he asked, purposely changing the subject.
"Ah, the wonders of science." Xander held out his hand, and thin line of
visible electricity emerged from the center of his palm and danced like a snake
from a snake charmer's basket. "Without getting too technical, what I'm doing is
pushing electro-molecules from my body after I reverse their polarity."
The thin line thickened and slowing wove towards Spike, resembling a pure
white tentacle. "The negatively charged electro-molecules attract the positively
charged ones floating in the air, like a magnet, and when they connect the
electro-molecules become visible," Xander continued. The tentacle wrapped around
Spike's bare waist and he was pulled gently forward, towards Xander. "The reason
you can feel the 'rope' is, because your entire body is comprised of the
positively charged electro-molecules, and the negative ones I'm projecting are
attracted to you."
"Pet, everything's attracted to me," Spike said with a waggle of his brows.
Xander chuckled, and stopped pulling when Spike was right in front of him. He
smiled. "Neat, huh? It's like I have an internal version of Spiderman's
web-shooters."
Spike smirked at the comic book reference. "Very interesting. Tell me, what
other hidden talents do you have that I don't know about?"
"I'm an excellent kisser."
"I already learned that," Spike told him, then silently groaned as
embarrassment burned his cheeks again. He couldn't believe he said that.
"Well, you're about to get a review lesson," Xander said as he tangled a hand
into the blond's damp locks. "Because I really need to kiss you again."
Spike's newly beating heart was suddenly slamming in his chest. After a
second of stunned silence, he whispered desperately, "Please."
Xander's lips twitched in amusement before he sealed his mouth over Spike's.
The vampire's pounding heart kicked up speed, and all thoughts flew out of his
head as Xander ravenously kissed him. Spike's insides disintegrated under the
assault, and he clung to the other man to keep from sliding bonelessly to the
sand.
Spike was dazed when Xander finally broke the kiss. He couldn't seem to focus
his vision, and the sounds of the incoming tide were drowned out by the
hammering of his heart.
