He'd lost his resolve. Giles was supposed to be just her Watcher. Nothing more and nothing less. He shouldn't have feelings for his charge no matter what they were especially not the kind he was having. Feelings that made him think of warm, slick bodies wrapped in tangled sheets. What was he going to do?

“Are you coming?”

Beads of sweat popped out on his forehead. “Beg your pardon?”

Buffy rolled her eyes. “I found a nest. It's all hands on deck. Are you coming?”

Giles nodded. Of course he was coming. It wasn’t exactly what he’d had in mind.

He wasn't the man she wanted. Giles had no idea he'd spoken the words aloud until he heard her voice behind him.

“You’re wrong."

He quickly spun around to face her. "Excuse me. How am I wrong?"

A smile crossed Buffy's face. "You are the man I want.”

"I... uh.... I..." Giles was all stammers as he stared down at Buffy. He shook his head and cleared his throat. "I am? Are you sure?"

Buffy nodded and moved close enough to thread her fingers between the buttonholes of his shirt. "I've never been more sure of anything in my life."
