Pairing: Spike/Dawn
Rating: NC-17, or definitely getting there...
Summary: Dawn learns what kissing is all about.
Author's Notes: Ok, this is just the beginning of the smutty goodness since I'm not sure how good I am at the smutty goodness. I'm counting on you guys to let me know...
Also, I changed the tense of the story from past tense to present tense. A small change granted, but I think it makes the story flow better. To

redwolfoz, I changed the first part of the story too, if you need to make changes to the archive. Spike’s hands are in her hair, stroking lightly and lovingly as his tongue moves in lazy circles with her own. God, Dawn thinks, why did she wait so long to do this? As far as she’s concerned, they can do this forever. No talking, no thinking, and no breathing, just sweet kisses to fill the hours of the day. His hands begin to tighten, holding her head as their kisses begin to get more urgent. Dawn tries not to breathe, she really does. She doesn’t want to stop kissing him for a moment. She tries to breathe through her nose, but the soft whistling sound that occurs is embarrassing. So, she eventually takes a breath before losing herself again in one of his mind-altering kisses. His fingers graze her cheekbone before lowering to her jaw. He angles her face so he can alternate between teasing pecks that drive her crazy and deep, carnal kisses that make her feel as if she’s falling. It was a good thing she was sitting, she kept thinking. Right, no thinking.
Dawn can’t believe it, the things he’s doing with his tongue, his hands. Her body feels hot and tight, she’s aware of his every touch. She has never been this aroused in her life and they’ve only been kissing. After a few moments, she begins to slowly explore his body as well. She threads her fingers through his hair and massages his scalp tenderly. She’s surprised by the texture, it’s not as crunchy as she thought it would be. It’s not exactly soft, but it’s smooth and feels good through her fingers. She resumes her petting with zest. Encouraged by the low moan Spike makes, she slides her hands down to his neck and around his shoulders, relishing in the strength of the muscles moving effortlessly beneath his thin t-shirt as she clutches him. She tentatively starts to climb onto his lap when he grabs her and pulls her body to his completely. Dawn gasps, she can feel him everywhere, even...Well, it’s not like she’s never done this before, but this is with Spike, and...oh God, he feels good.
Spike’s hands move down her arms slowly, brushing the sides of her breasts, and skimming her ribcage almost ticking her before settling around her waist. Meanwhile, his lips leave hers briefly. Before she has time to mourn their loss, he’s pressing gentle kisses to her cheeks and forehead. “God, Dawn, you taste so sweet. Better than I imagined,” he murmured.
Dawn notices that he calls her “Dawn” again. She loves the pet names he has for her, but being ”Dawn” feels so much more grown-up. She shivers as his cool fingers creep under her shirt, touching her bare skin. He looks up at her as he does so, “Is this alright?”
She looks into his eyes and this time it isn’t funny. This is a man who has risked his life for her so many times, a man who makes her laugh, and a man who loves her. “It’s more than alright.” They smile at each other and Spike raises her arms, pulls her t-shirt over her head. Dawn has always been slightly embarrassed by her bust size, but Spike doesn’t seem to agree as he stares hungrily at her chest.
“You’re beautiful,” he says reverently. Spike reaches out and cups her breasts while his thumbs brush against her nipples lightly. Dawn closed her eyes to the sensation. “No, don’t close your eyes,” Spike beseeches. “I want you to see me, know it’s me touching you, tasting you, loving you.”
To Be Continued...
By the way, I need some more Spawn icons. Anyone want to volunteer? I'll be your very best friend!

What is it with you authors all cutting me off before the good stuff happenes argh......
I promise! There's more to come! Very soon! I'm new to the whole smut writing thing!
I'll go do the archivy thing now and glare at hanging story line.
As for Spawn icons, point me in the direction of images you want, any text you'd like added and I'll throw something together.
I know, but smut is all new to me and I wasn't sure I could do it justice!
As for icons, I would love some manipulations. I've looked for tutorials on the web and it's a little too complicated for me.
If you know how to do them, I would love a crash course, but I would also something like Dawn's face instead of Buffy's in this picture or this picture or this picture. No text necessary. Basically, I want Spawn icons with a sexy spin to them. I have no idea how difficult these tasks are so anything you can do would be great!
I'll need to hunt up some corresponding Dawn images in similar positions. Feel free to harass me if you don't hear back.
You are my hero! Thank you so much!
Let me know if you'd like any changes to these.
Couldn't find a decent shot of Dawn looking in the same direction as the other two. Yell if you happen to run aross something suitable.
These are fabulous! How did you do it? You wouldn't be able to send me a tutorial of sorts, would you? Do you use Photoshop?
When using Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro, your best friend is layers. Every time you add an element to the image it goes on it's own layer.
The first image I duplicated the master into a new layer and cut away the background. Duplicated that image twice and hid the trimmed one as a working layer. One of the dupes I deleted Spike, one I deleted Dawn, so they each had their own layer. Then I could move them closer together. To get Spike's arm placement right, I duplicated his layer and killed everything that wasn't the arm closest to the camera, then put that layer on top, Dawn underneath and the full Spike below that.
I created a new layer for the background and just pasted random lumps of the original greyish background and played silly buggers with the filters until I had something nice and mottled that I liked. This obviously sits under the Spike and Dawn images.
Another layer was created above the background and that where I did the stripes. But they weren't added until I shrank the image to it's final size. I saved it in the large size, then saved a copy at 100x100 pixels. Then the stripes go in, they were also lightened to around 60% opacity.
A border layer was added over everything, two pixels width and I hit it with the gaussian blur.
Over that was the text layer. Had to screw around with the kerning (how close the characters sit to each other) to get it to fit to my liking. It gets a layer effect of "stroke" which adds the outline that makes the text stand out more. I think it's around 80% opacity too, allows the stuff below it to bleed through a little.
Most of Photoshop is just finding where the buttons and commands live to do all clever stuff.
As far as she’s concerned, they can do this forever. No talking, no thinking, and no breathing, just sweet kisses to fill the hours of the day. - Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. (yes, yes, I need a new word for you)
it’s not as crunchy as she thought it would be. It’s not exactly soft, but it’s smooth and feels good through her fingers. - Love
nitpick: She tries to breathe through (?) her nose
I know, I know...I'm new at smut so I was just trying it out. There will be more!
Yes, "through" her nose. Has been fixed! You see, that's why I need a beta!
Thank you for your lovely comments! "Awww" all you like!
Thank you! Still working on my smut writing talents! Very soon!
