SUMMARY: Buffy & Angel talk and kiss and get it on. < g > What else, right?

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Saw this song, had to write this fic. That's all.

//It still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
And it's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
I'm still holdin' on and you're still the one\\

"Oh God, Angel, stop," Buffy mumbled, very aware of the racing heartbeat in both their chests, the mere centimeters that separated their bodies on top of his kitchen table. "We need to....stop."

That, of course, was met with more furious kisses as Angel struggled to get the buttons on Buffy's jeans undone. It figured that their one night together, she would choose to wear brand-new Calvins, complete with skin-tight seams and buttons that the Jaws of Life would have a hard time with.

"Look at me," Buffy mumbled as Angel succeeded in getting one button undone. He became very aware that his pants were already pooled around his ankles.

//The first time our eyes met
Same feelin' I get
Only feels much stronger
I wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on\\

"God, I love you," Buffy mumbled in between kisses. They were fast and furious, the kind you share when the world is ending.

They were the kind of kisses Buffy wanted before the Ascension.

"I'm just...." Buffy struggled to express everything she was feeling at once. On one hand, they needed to talk first because all this jumping in headfirst stuff had bad repercussions with them in the past.

"I've missed you," Angel whispered as he slid his hands underneath her sweater. "I've missed this."

Buffy leaned up just high enough for Angel to pull the sweater over her head. "I've dreamed of this," she told him. "Your touch, your kiss....even just one more time..."

"Shhh," Angel gently kissed her lips. "Don't talk."

"But--"

He kissed her again. "Don't think. Just feel."

She wasn't about to argue with that.

//So if you're feelin' lonely don't
You're the only one I'd ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love ya a little more than I should\\

Buffy couldn't remember where she was. Her entire mind was fuzzy, and recollection of the past ten minutes was impossible.

Angel's kitchen table was now broken, and they were lying on top of it on the floor. Angel was struggling to remove her bra with his teeth and the only thing Buffy could feel was Angel's body this close to hers. She didn't ever want it to end.

Angel succeeded in removing the rest of Buffy's clothing and she clung to him as they made love, never wanting it to end, afraid for what would happen later, afraid she might never feel this same way again.

That thought terrified her.

//Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me - this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Please believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you\\

They were lost in the touch, in the kiss. Buffy could feel Angel's heart beating only for her. It was so different from the first time--and yet somehow the same. She couldn't explain it.

When it was over, Angel lay there, holding her until she offered to race him into his bedroom.

"After all," she said teasingly, "It's been more than a year since we've done it in a bed."

//Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
We're still gettin' closer baby
Can't get close enough
I'm still holdin' on - you're still number one
I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves - I remember you
I remember the nights - ya know I still do\\

"Have you ever.....thought about.....that night?" Buffy asked in between kisses.

"Every.....minute. Every hour.....every day. Forever."

".....I love you....."

"....I love you too...."

//One thing I'm sure of
Is the way we make love
And the one thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
That's why I'm sayin'

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me - This pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Never leave me - I don't know what I'd do
Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you\\

"Angel?" Buffy was lying against her lover, their breathing rhythmic. "If this all....if this is it....I just want you to know..."

"I know." he smiled. "I've always known."

Buffy smiled. "Love you."

"Love you too."

"Angel?"

"Yes?"

"I'm starving."
