Summary: During School Hard, Spike observes Buffy dancing at the Bronze, but instead of sending her off on a merry chase after his minion, he decides to do a little dancing of his own with her… and perhaps a bit more before killing her off.  However, the instantaneous attraction that surges between them now threatens to put a damper on his plans. 
Buffy has never felt like this before and allows her lust and desire for the mysterious stranger who invites her to dance at the Bronze to overrule all thoughts other than being his in any way he chooses.
What will happen when she discovers he's a master vampire planning to kill her on Saturday? And will he still be able to when the time comes?
