NIGHT TO REMEMBER (4/5)
 

               Willow pulled away from Angel, her eyes watching him. "I don't know if we
               should be doing this..."
 

               Angel sighed, "I know. But, I've been waiting for so long...."
 

               Willow snorted, "You? I've been waiting longer than you...It's just this,
               this seems rather rushed. I don't know....There is nothing I want more than
               to make love to you, but I don't want regrets from either of us."
 

               "I'd never have any regrets, but I won't push it. Will you stay the night
               here? I can sleep on the couch..."
 

               Willow wavered, giving in finally to the begging in his eyes, "Yes. I'd love
               to spend some time with you, my Angel."
 

               Angel smiled, "Thank you. I'll go get your bag. Where are your keys?"
 

               Willow had to laugh at his joy. "Here they are."
 

               She watched him leave, shaking her head. She couldn't believe she was staying
               with him. She took a deep breath as she began to investigate the house. She
               looked in his bedroom, glancing behind her. He wasn't back yet. She moved
               into the room, smelling the scent that was Angel. She smiled softly as she
               saw several pictures of her and the gang on his dresser. She'd have to tease
               him about having a photo of Xander up. She noticed that he had somehow
               aquired several of just her. She had to wonder where he had gotten them. She
               moved to the bed, sitting down. She laid back, the pillow behind her. She
               smelled him even more as she laid there. She knew then that she would leave
               in the morning without her virginity.
 

               She couldn't lose this chance. If she left, without being with him, and never
               had another opportunity, she'd regret that much more than actually following
               through with her feelings that night. She closed her eyes, smiling slightly.
               She stood, knowing he would be gone a few more minutes at least. She began to
               unbutton her shirt. She would wait for him in bed. Maybe he wouldn't turn her
               down if she was already nude and wet. She knew that wouldn't be a problem.
               Not at all. Her entire body was tense with need. She folded her shirt and
               slipped her jeans off. She glanced down. Maybe she'd keep her underwear on,
               just in case.
 

               Angel stood by the elevator. He took a few calming, unnecessary breaths. He
               willed his erection to go away. All he could imagine was his Willow in his
               bed without him. He wanted her so badly. This would be a true test of wills
               for him. It would be so easy to go downstairs and seduce her. He knew she
               wanted him. It would take so little effort but he didn't want her that way.
               No regrets. Finally, he stepped into the elevator. He didn't want to waste
               any time that they had together. There was so little time left, it seemed. So
               much already wasted. He hit the button and headed downstairs. Down to his
               Willow.
