Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ooo! #7: the Pretend Engagement! (Where a couple who doesn't want to marry pretends to be engaged with plans to break it off, but accidentally falls in love along the way.)
