Xander of course had to swallow back his first answer since she'd taken the words right out of his mouth. He was quiet for a moment as he tried to find the right words...before he finally sighed and pulled her closer.

"No. Not really. I would do it again if you wanted but I really think I prefer it just as me and you." He kissed her hair in a brief pause. "Call me selfish maybe, but I love you and I want to keep that to myself. Alcuin is a dear friend so it wasn't hard sharing it for a night but...I'd rather not."

Because it never was just sex for Xander. It never had been, except that first time with Faith.
