The doctor pulled down the sheet on the legs of Giles's corpse. Ethan went pale and trembled.

"Leave me alone with him please."

The man went away. The sorcerer put his hand on the ice-cold forehead of the dead ex-Watcher and was able to feel the presence of his magical powers. Contrary to his soul and to his mind, they were still there, in his head. He began to chant a spell intended to appropriate them.

When he had pronounced the last word a slender sling of bluish energy went out Giles's head and rolled around Ethan's wrist. It went along his arm, followed the curve of his shoulder, slid along his neck and penetrated into his brain where it came to get involved in the powers already in place. Ethan was suddenly invaded by such a power he had a dizzy turn and almost fell. Buffy prevented him from it.

"Buffy?" He said, surprised.

"Ethan! I knew that you would come here." She suddenly grabbed Ethan by his neck and pinned him against the wall. She glared at him. "You disgust me Ethan! You came here only to steal Giles' powers!

Ethan shook his head. "He offered them to me, a long time ago, when we were young. He said to me that when he would die, I could take them. I swear it to you! He did not think of living for a long time."

Buffy loosened Ethan and moved back from him. "I'm sure you were happy to read his death in the newspaper!"

"No, no, I was not happy at all, and I did not learn of his death by reading the Sunnydale Gazette. I was in London when he died. I felt him dying, Buffy, physically … There." His placed his hand on his heart. "I was hurt. Ripper and I were formerly very close Buffy, we were partners, we were friends, we were brothers, we were… we were lovers. We used the magic to bind he and I. We thought living together, happy, making love and magic until the end of our life." Tears appeared in the eyes. "But it did not happen." He turned to the cadaver and trailed Giles' jaw. "How did he die?"

Buffy told it to him and added: "Before dying, Giles said that he loved you Ethan, that he had always loved you, that you had always been his only real love and that he would always love you."

Ethan went pale. "He loved me?"

He looked at Giles's livid and motionless face. "But… But I believed that he hated me."

"No, he loved you Ethan."

Ethan began crying. "I loved him too, I always loved him … and I so made him suffer."

He slid along the nearest wall and sat down. He buried his face in his hands and sobbed. Buffy knelt down in front of him and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Ethan, could you resuscitate him by using the magic?"

Ethan shook his head. "No, it's impossible." He dried his tears with his jacket's sleeve and sniffed. "But I can use the magic to travel in time and prevent him being killed."

Buffy smiled broadly. "Do it Ethan!"

"I will need a book of magic… Ripper certainly has it and some magical ingredients too."

Buffy covered Giles's corpse with the blue sheet then closed the drawer. The next time she would see him again, he would be alive.

Buffy dusted one vampire, which straddled Giles and got ready to plunge the stake, which it held to his stomach. The Watcher raised himself on his elbows then fell again heavily on his back, still dazed by the blow to his head. He believed he could see two Buffy's, One far from him fighting against three vampires and the other one right by him. Ethan was standing near her. They both smiled at him.

"Buffy? Ethan?"

The sorcerer bent towards Giles, kissed him on his lips then tenderly caressed his cheek.

"I love you Ripper." He said.

Giles blinked. "You WHAT?"

Ethan kissed him again, delving his tongue into his mouth. This time Giles returned him his kiss moaning with pleasure.

"See you soon, mate."

He was going to travel again in time and wait Giles at his place. He chanted the return spell and Buffy and him volatilised in a sheaf of white light. Buffy 2 dusted a last vampire and rushed towards him.

"Giles! Ohmigod! Giles are you all right?" She asked him.

Giles blinked, disorientated. "Yes, yes I'm fine. I just have a big bump on my head and a terrible headache."

"Oh! As usual!"

Buffy helped him to get up and had wrapped his arm around his waist to prevent him from collapsing on the ground.

"Spike! Spiiiiiike!"

The vampire arrived two minutes later, a stake in his hand. "Yes! What's happening?"

"Giles has been knocked out! You're going to bring him back home, to look after him and to put him in bed! I have to run after others vampires which escaped, to dust them all."

Giles shook his head. "I don't need Spike to help me. I can't do all that by myself."

Buffy released him and he collapsed on the ground. He tried to get up but was incapable.

"What did you say Giles?" Buffy mocked.

Spike pulled Giles up, and slung him over his shoulder. "Let's go home Watcher!"

*

When Spike entered the living room of Giles' place, holding the ex- Watcher unconscious on his shoulder, he was very surprised to find somebody there. Ethan moved on him.

"Don't be afraid. My name is Ethan Rayne; I'm a friend of Rupert's. What happened to him?"

"He received a blow on his head and he was K.O.'d again."

Ethan took Giles in his arms and transported him to the couch. He inspected his skull and found the big bump.

"It's nothing." He said. "Could you please fetch the first aid kit which is in the bathroom?"

Eh! I'm not your bloody maid!"

Ethan looked at Spike and cast a transportation spell. The fair vampire suddenly disappeared with a "pop."

"Finally together, Ripper."

Giles regained consciousness lying on his bed, his head resting on a pillow. He was naked. He raised himself on his elbows and jumped perceiving Ethan sat Indian style at the end of the bed. He was naked too and was slowly caressing his full erect penis.

Giles' pulse accelerated and he had the feeling that all his blood hurled itself in his abdomen. Strongly aroused he had a fabulous hard on within seconds. On all fours, he came to sit down near the sorcerer.

"Is it true Ethan? Is it true that you love me?"

"It's true." He reached out and gently ran a finger down Giles' cheek. He leaned to his caress. "And I want you."

"I love you Ethan." There was an sudden ache in his loins and he looked hungrily at Ethan. "And I want you too."

Giles closed his arms on Ethan's back, pulled him to him and kissed him slowly, with passion. Ethan kissed him back, slowly too, with the same passion then pushed Giles on his back. He moved on top of him and licked his neck, his chin, nibbled his lips and kissed him again, hungrily, wildly this time. He then gently caressed his cheek.

"The past is dead, Ripper." He said to Giles. "Let's forget it. Let's think of the future, let's think of us."

"Yes, you're right."

Ethan got up and fetched socks from the drawers of the closet. He used them to attach Giles to the bed. Once Giles was tied up Ethan straddled him. He licked and sucked Giles's nipples then made his tongue go down along the line of black hairs, which went of his chest to his pubis. He made a stop in his navel. He licked the skin all around, making Giles moan then plunged his tongue inside, caressing his sides at the same time. Giles began to move his hips restlessly. Ethan continued to excite him massaging his pubis with a hand, his inner thighs with the other one. Giles purred.

"Did you have many lovers Ethan?"

Ethan nodded. "Yes, men and women. More men than women naturally. And you?"

"No, I didn't. I made love only once in 25 years. It was with Olivia some weeks ago."

Ethan was stunned. "What? You made love only once in 25 years?"< Is it possible? >

Giles nodded. "When you dumped me for Tom my heart died. I was not capable of loving somebody anymore before I met Jenny 4 years ago." He smiled. "She was kind, teasing, sweet and magnificent … I fell in love with her, and her me… I was finally happy for a very long time. We caressed, we kissed each other, but we didn't make love. We would have, yes made it but-but…" Tears appeared in his eyes. "But she had been murdered."

"What happened?"

Giles murmured: "Angelus killed her. He broke her neck at school and he brought her body here. He lay Jenny down on my bed. He made a whole stage setting with roses and candles to persuade me that Jenny had prepared a special evening for me … that she waited for me in my bedroom. I went up to the loft and… I-I…" Tears ran down his pale cheeks. "I discovered her … dead. Her glance turned to me accusing me Ethan, it was shouting to me: "why weren't you able to protect me? You are a Watcher!" Oh, Lord. I can never forget that glance. Never…"

"I'm sorry."

Giles sobbed. "If you leave me again, I shall die this time Ethan. Don't let me, please."

"I love you and I'll stay with you Ripper. Always. Forever. I promised. Sshhh. It's over."

"Yes, you're right. It's over."

Ethan let trail his finger on Giles' straining penis. Giles moaned and had a violent start. He had the feeling that Ethan burned him with his finger. Ethan brushed the extremity of the full erect member then touched it several times with his tongue. Giles closed eyes, pushed a choked shout and arched. Ethan encircled Giles and began to caress him. Giles bucked hid hips and thrust in Ethan's hand who giggled.

"Impatient luv? » Giles scolded. "My fucking blood is boiling in my veins Ethan! Yes I'm bloody impatient!"

"And I want to take my time to tease you."

Ethan made his tongue roam on Giles's abdomen, licking the most sensitive places. He then began licking the straining penis from tip to base and then he licked his testicles. He swallowed them, sucked them, and then he took them in his hands and caressed them, squeezed them, scratched them.

Giles bathed with sweat was trembling and his arms and legs were shaken by spasms. He was close.

Ethan licked and sucked the congested and hot member, engulfed it completely then took it in his hand and made it touch his. He rubbed the tips one against the other one then pressed them together between the hands as if to meld them. Giles, his head on fire was at the edge of exploding. He was shaken by violent cramps and pulled on his ties, wanting to get free, wanting to fuck Ethan.

"Ethaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! Now! Please!"

"Not yet, luv."

Ethan sat down on Giles's chest, his rock hard penis placed just at the level of his lips.

"Suck me, Ripper."

Giles took him in his mouth and bit him.

"Aww!"

"Release me Ethan! I want to fuck you!"

Ethan rubbed the bite on his sex grimacing with pain then he bent towards Giles's face and bit his lower lip.

"Aww!"

"Bad boy! You're going to pay for this. I'm going to tease you a little more Ripper."

He pressed the base of Giles's penis, cutting his urge to ejaculate then he left the loft. He came back two minutes later with a razor, a spray of shaving foam and a towel.

Giles frowned. "You are not going to shave me?"

Ethan nodded. "Yes."

Ethan spread shaving foam over Giles' hairy chest and over his stomach up to his lower belly.

"Ethan! what the hell are you doing?"

Ethan then slid the razor on the skin and shaved it slowly, taking care of turning around the nipples, which he licked, sucked and nibbled, then around the navel, into which he plunged the end of his nose then the tip of his tongue. He cleaned the skin with the towel.

Giles panted and he squeaked when Ethan covered his pubis and his crotch with shaving foam. "No, noo!"

"Yes!"

"No, don't do that Ethan! I promise you to be kind with you. I shall never bite you again. Except if you want me to."

Ethan shook his head and began to remove the black curled hairs with the razor.

"Hold still Ripper, I wouldn't want to cut your testicle."

Giles moaning in despair saw his hairs disappear in some minutes. "I feel naked!"

Ethan giggled. "Ripper, you're naked."

"You know what I mean."

Ethan smiled to Giles, proud of him. He removed the shaving foam and the cut hairs with the towel. "Mmm… Now one can better see your penis and your balls, old mate. Don't worry, your hairs will grow again."

He put the spray of shaving foam; the razor and the towel at the end of the bed then knelt between Giles parted legs. He licked completely Giles's full erect penis, red, hot and pounding with desire and began sucking it then sucking it up him more and more fast. Giles shouted, his member in fire. The friction of Ethan's lips and sometimes of his teeth added to the shave burn of his balls, which had reached his penis, was barely bearable.

When Giles was close again, Ethan untied him. Giles jumped up on him like a tiger and made the sorcerer turn his back towards him. He nestled behind Ethan and put the tip of his dick to Ethan's ass, using the extremity of his sex on the anus and pushed. He felt a resistance. Ethan was more than granting, but the nature defended itself. He had to push with all his weight to penetrate into the narrow opening. He penetrated Ethan with a long rectilinear push. Blood rushed to his temples, gasping; bathed with sweat Giles sodomized Ethan deeply, rapidly, scratching his shoulders, hips back and buttocks. Ethan believed that he was going to collapse from sheer pleasure and murmured something unintelligible, his brain anaesthetized. Giles released his semen, pushing as deeply as he could inside Ethan. He let out a feral growl, scratching Ethan's skin, and then fell over onto his back, exhausted, feeling magnificently well. Delivered, sated, contented. Ethan fell down on the bedspread with a groan of a dying person, panting, his head empty and reeling, still under the shock of the pleasure.

"Oh God!" Giles breathed.

He lay down on his back right by Ethan then snuggled up to him, purring like a cat. He noticed that Ethan's penis was still full erect and crawled on him. He straddled his lover and his buttocks close to Ethan's face he began a controlled and experienced fellatio.

"Aaaah!"

Ethan slid to fingers in Giles's anus and began to thrust. Giles began to purr and to move his hips.

"Ripper stop! Take position and don't move!"

Ripper took the two pillows, lay down on his back and slid them under his buttocks to raise them.

"Fuck me like this. I want to see you."

Ethan opened Giles' thighs wide, almost quartering him. He then raised his legs high to put them on his shoulders exposing his erect member and especially his loins' entrance. His member stopped a fraction of a second in the opening of his lover's loins then he pushed himself inside, just like that. Ethan felt the blood beating in his penis and held still not to release his seed yet. Giles was suddenly shaken by spasms and moaned. Ethan sank into Giles again catching him under his buttocks, pushing his knees between his thighs. He slowly penetrated him, withdrawing and pushing back home with all of his length, his breath short, at first slowly then faster more and more, striking every time his scrotum, making Giles uttered small shouts of pure pleasure.

"Oooooooh! It's so good Ripper!"

"Oh yessssssssssssssssss!"

Giles had abruptly enough of this uncomfortable position and put himself on all fours.

"Now like this."

The sorcerer nested behind him and then he forced again his sphincter. Ethan slid into Giles in one length thrust, as far as he could him. Giles exhaled a long sigh. "Wonderful." He said.

Ethan began a powerful driving rhythm, each thrust slamming Giles down against the mattress. He panted, trembled, was streamed with sweat. Giles under him cried out big enraptured shouts, at the edge of unconsciousness. Blood beating to his temples Ethan thrust into Giles faster, pulling the buttocks against his stomach, with a rough drive, going as far as possible. He quickly felt the sap rising of his loins and contained himself until his excitement was too terrible. He exploded deep within Giles, as much as he could with his throaty cry. He fell on Giles' back who let out a choked groan and collapsed on his stomach, as if struck.

Ethan stayed inside Giles until his sex deflated ripples of pleasure sill running down his body. He raised Giles and tightened him in his arms. They suddenly noticed Buffy's presence near the closet. Her hand slid in her pair of underpants she caressed herself.

Giles was stunned. "Buffy?"
