~Part: 21~
Sunnydale Port……..Next Night
“Welcome to the Europamerica Cruise,” the girl at the front of the boat greeted as Xander and Willow walked up to her. “The rules are no vampires and/or demons may snack on humans unless that human want it. No killing what so ever of anyone. All rules can be found in your room make sure you read them and understands.” She smiled waiting for them to comprehend. “As long as you follow the rules you should have a nice trip…thank you.” She moved the to side and let them in once they shook their heads in agreements.
“This is a beautiful boat,” Willow spoke as they walked in and saw a casino to the right and a buffet to the left.
“Yes it is,” he agreed walking up to the wall to show the blue print of the boat. “Hey this is were we should go,” he told Willow while pointing about five levels down. “This boat is huge.”
Willow and Xander made it to the boat just after ten. The demons and vampires where starting to come on board.
“I can’t believe you made me come on this demon cruise. Buffy and you are so going to owe me for this.”
“Relax Xander. It’s only five nights and six days. “
“This is so backwards. Shouldn’t it be six nights and five days?”
“Think about it genius,” she told them as they walked down the corridor to their rooms. “Vampires are on board so you have to wait until night to let them off and don’t get me started with some of these demons, humans should never see them.”
“I am just glade we are not the only humans on board. The ticket lady was a human…..I hope and look down there her comes two more humans.”
Willow looked up at the people walking their way as she stood in front of their door. Getting a better look Willow went into shock. The two approaching people also went into a mild shock.
“Angel?”
“Willow?”
“Cordy?”
“Xander?”
“What are you doing here?” The foursome spoke all together. Both Willow and Xander dropped their bags to the floor.
They all looked at each other before Xander walked up to Cordelia giving her a hug and Angel doing the same for Willow.
“It’s nice to see you but what are you doing here Willow?” Angel asked after letting her go.
“Mr. McAlester asked us to come on this boat trip to destroy an egg that a demon laid on this boat.”
Cordy and Angel looked at each other shockingly.
“What?” Xander ask”
“We are too,” Angel tells them.
“It can’t be because he told me that the other person he asked denied his offer.”
“We did but I left a message on his answering machine telling him about taking the job. It was Cordy’s idea anyway to come.”
Cordelia snorted, “Yeah me and fifty thousand dollars or being bored to death at the hotel.” She told them. “He said he would look for someone else but we didn’t know it was you two. He still gave us the tickets just in case we changed our minds.”
“Same here,” Xander spoke.
“Why didn’t Buffy come?” Angel asked.
“It’s been busy in Sunnydale. She has to slay almost ever night just to keep the vampires and demons activity down,” Willow explained to them.
“That’s where all our demons must have ran off too Angel,” Cordelia told them.
“Look guys’ lets get settled in first then we can destroy this thing together,” Willow suggested.
“Sounds like a plan,” Angel agreed. “Where is your room?”
“Right here Level C room 10,” Xander answered.
“Cool we have room 12,” Cordelia told them.
Willow took out the key card and swiped it. The light changed from green to red and they walked in. Angel picked up Willows’ bag and took in inside.
{God this is going to be a long trip} Willow thought. {It’s could be anyone else but no it has to be Angel}.
***
“Your place looks better than ours,” Cordelia tells them as they walked into the room. “Same with the bedding though. I can go without rolling over and looking at Angel.”
What Cordelia didn’t know was Angel thought about that too. On the other hand it didn’t bother Xander and Willow because they have done it before.
“I think the best place to look is in the engine room,” Willow offered her suggestions while completely ignoring Cordelia’s comment.
“Why the engine room?” Xander asked.
“Well….this demon egg needs to be heated to hatch and the best place is the engine room.”
Everyone thought about it. “Sounds like a good place to start.” Angel agrees.
“He would agree,” Cordelia whispered to Xander making them giggle. Willow didn’t hear her as she unpacked but Angel did but didn’t speak. He just watch his red head.
***
Twenty minutes later they walk to the engine room surprise that only a couple of engineers were there but was asleep. They crept around them and continued to look.
“It can’t be this easy,” Willow spoke as they all pulled the small weapons out. They looked at a big egg sitting by a machine.
“You two girls stay back and let me and Xander handle it.”
Both girls shot Angel an ‘Go to hell’ look but he missed it as him and Xander crept up to the egg.
“Watch this Cordy,” Willow whispered while she started to concentrate on the egg. Cordelia looked at the egg as it began to shake. Just as Angel and Xander charged up to it, it exploded. Green slime got all over Xander and Angel. They looked at it stunned then turned to the girls.
Both girls bottom lip trembled as they tried to hold in their laughter. When the guys looked at them they fell into a fit of giggles after seeing the looks on their faces.
“Willow did you do that?” Xander asked as he wiped some of the slime off his face. Angel also cleaned the slime off him.
Neither Willow nor Cordelia could stop laughing long enough to tell him she was responsible for it. Angel and Xander exchanged looks and came up with silent plan.
Angel ran up to Willow and Xander to Cordelia. They hugged them as close as they could while making sure the slime got on them.
The girls screamed as they tried to get away from their grips. “Angel let me go or you are so going to pay for this. Rat really wouldn’t look nice on you.” The idle threat didn’t do any good as Angel made sure to get some slime on her face.
As they let go both girls looked at each other. “This declares war,” Cordelia threatened.
“You started this,” Xander told them.
“It was Willow and her powers. How did I get into this?” Cordelia whined.
“Doesn’t matter who started it…you both was in on it,” Xander told them.
“How about you two eating cheese for the rest of the trip,” Willow threatened.
“I would like to see you try it missy,” Xander playfully responded.
“Okay…Okay…. Let’s call it a truce.” Angel offered.
“Truce I can handle a truce,” Xander agreed not wanting to be turned into a rat. “Come on guys lets get cleaned up and get to bed,” he offered.
Willow and Cordelia looked at each other. “Truce?” Willow asked.
“Truce,” Cordelia replied.
“Truce,” they all said in agreement.
“Hey what’s that?” Willow asked as she walked up to the broken egg. She bent down and picked up what looked like a second piece to the other part she had.
“What is it Willow?” Angel asked.
“I really don’t know…I..I have a piece like it at home. I found it at the school after we blew it up. I have been trying to translate the markings on it but have been unsuccessful.”
There was quietness between them. “Does anyone else find this a bit strange that she should find something that looks alike at two different places?” Cordelia questioned.
“Yeah,” Xander agreed.
“Don’t worry about it guys I’ll find out what it is but for now lets do what Xander suggested. Let’s get back to the room and clean up first.”
They all kept quiet as they walked back to their rooms.
Next Morning……….
“Geez why don’t you go to her already?” Cordelia urged as she walked up to Angel who was looking out of the sun proof window.
The brunette knew the moment she stepped out of the bathroom and saw Angel staring out the window she knew he had to be looking at Willow. She walked up to the window and peeped just to confirm her thought.
Angel turned to look at Cordelia.
“Well not out in the sun go to her but when she come back in go talk to her.”
Without receiving a reply she began to walk off but speaking as she grabbed her purse. “I have four more nights on this wonderful boat. So I am going to get a body wax and makeover in the salon which should take all day so that mean that you my friend can meet all of us in the dinner hall tonight.”
“Dinning hall?” he repeated looking back.
“Yes there will be dinner and dancing and since the egg is gone and we don’t have to work we can enjoy ourselves. I called Xander this morning and he said he would made reservations for four.”
Angel exhaled and looked back out the window and she walked out of the room.
***
Willow had awakened early this morning and after breakfast she decided to go for a swim. As she lay in the sun she loved the feel of the sun on her body and the way the wind blew making it the perfect temperature.
The witch took a long breath as she turned unto her stomach. He was already getting hard looking at her in the two-piece swimsuit but when she turned over that was Angels’ undoing. He closed the curtain quickly before he came on himself.
“Damn it,” he curse before going back to bed.
***
“What’s up Cordy?” Xander asked as he saw her walking out of her room.
“Those two need to talk and then have some sexual relief and fast before they explode.”
“Yeah and speaking of talking…what about us?”
Cordelia looked down.
“I know how I felt and I don’t feel that way anymore,” Cordelia just blurted. She didn’t see a reason to lie about it. “I have well I am talking to some one now.”
“The same here,” he spoke quickly. “Well not about the seeing part but I don’t feel that way and I hope you are happy with him. He is a lucky guy.”
“Thanks,” she said as they both exhaled.
“I think that was the talk,” Xander joked.
“Yeah….how did it go?”
“I don’t know that was my first,” he explained. “Care to join me in some breakfast.”
“Well I have an appointment but I can go later,” she told him holding out her hand. Xander smiled and took it. They headed to the dinning hall.
Willows’ and Xanders’ Room……Later that night
“You look good Willow,” Xander told his friend.
“Thanks,” she replied as she applied her lipstick. “You don’t look to bad yourself.”
“Thanks I just threw something on,” he told her.
Willow had on this spaghetti strapped black silk dress that zipped up from the side and dipped low in the front, which gave the prefect view of her breast. The dress was long and hung all the way down to her black sandals.
“Cordelia say she will meet us there. Ready to go?”
Willow looked in the mirror to make sure everything was in place. She nodded then they headed out.
Dinning room…….Thirty minutes later
“I can’t believe the pretties girl in here isn’t dancing,” Angel spoke as he walked up to Willow at the table. He had watched her for ten minutes just taking in her beauty before coming over to the table.
Willow chuckled remembering this line from when she was in high school. “I don’t believe you are still using that line.”
“Me either.” He smiled looking at her. “Did it work?” He asked reaching for her.
Nodding she stood up and grabbed his hand.
As the music played Willow and Angel started to dance to the music. They started off with distance between them but as the music moved them they were now close enough that Willow had laid her head on his shoulder. Angel wanted time to stop right now so he could always remember this moment because he don’t know if he would ever have a chance to hold his girl like this again.
“It’s about time,” Cordelia told Xander as they saw the couple from across the room.
“I couldn’t agree with you more,” he replied as he continued to dance.
The dark haired vampire had let the music carry him to the point that he was now rubbing Willows’ exposed back. She shivered under his touch but didn’t move. After minutes of this he could smell her. She was getting aroused and he knew she could feel his evidence up against her stomach.
At the end of the song and another one began Willow pulled back and looked into his lust filled eyes. Angel looked at her and started moving to kiss her but was stopped by her voice.
“I’m sorry but I can’t.”
Willow released Angel’s hand and walked off. Angel stood in the middle of the floor calming down some. He finally moved when he spotted Xander and Cordelia walking back to the table.
“What happened?” Cordelia asked.
“I don’t know,” Angel replied.
“Well I can say this,” Xander jumped in. “She can’t get into the room and she is going to be extremely cold out on the deck without her coat.”
“Why do you say that?” Cordelia asked him.
Smiling he picks up her purse. “Because……Willows’ room key is in here and she also left her coat and with that dress she has on we all know she is going to freeze on the deck.”
Getting the hint on what Xander was trying to tell him. Angel grabbed her purse from Xander and coat from the chair then headed out looking for her.
***
Willow stood on the side of the boat looking out into the water. It was a beautiful night. At first she didn’t feel it but now it was getting cold. She wanted to go to her room but couldn’t because her key card was in her purse and her purse and coat was still at the table in the ball room and she didn’t want to go back in there with Angel. Shivering she wrapped her arms around herself trying to warm up a bit.
“You left this.” Angel startled her as he placed the coat on her. “And this,” he said hanging her purse over her shoulder.
“Thanks,” she spoke and started to walk off but Angel stopped her movement by grabbing her arm. With her back to him Willow looked back at the water again trying to pretend that the man she desired wasn’t touching her.
“What is it Willow” he asked a little upset. “I love you and I know you still love me so what is the problem with us being together?”
Willow didn’t respond. Instead she reached up and touched the mark on her neck that Angelus left. Seeing the silent answer Angel now an understood what Willow was going through.
“Ah, I see what the problem is now Willow” he spoke using his accent. He touched the mark making her shiver. “You are afraid of Angelus coming back aren’t you?”
Willow nodded. He was right she was more afraid of Angelus than anybody. Willow knew if it wasn’t for that she would have slept with Angel a long, long time ago.
“The spell is not meant for us Willow,” he assured her. “And as for Angelus…yes he is a monster and was wrong for what he did to you, but this,” he said tapping the mark, “Was necessary…….He did this to you Willow because he wanted you all for himself. As selfish as that sounded Angelus had a thing for you and trust me you are the first for him and for me.”
The red head still didn’t answer or moved as Angel hand glided over her neck. “Yesssss…..Willow he had to do this. If you weren’t marked right now, every vampire and demon on this boat would be after your delighted smell.” He stopped talking to inhale her scent. “Your arousal is so intoxicating but what stops the others from coming after you is your arousal is also mix in with his scent….my scent. No other man or demon would every touched you………except me.”
“It’s not like…..,” she spoke but was stopped when his hand started rubbing her neck. Willow could feel her body tingling.
“Don’t speak just listen,” he told her. “Isn’t it true Willow that Angelus forced you to feel those things for him?”
Willow nodded and moaned as his hand moved to just above her breast then back to the mark on her neck. “And that spell you did with that girl. Didn’t that spell forced you too have sex with her?” Seeing she wasn’t answering he continued. “Is that what you want Willow to be forced?”
“No,” she moaned.
“I know you want me Willow and you and I both know that I don’t have to force you do I?”
She closed her eyes as he continued to massage her neck.
He groaned trying to get his own body under control before he came right here. “Right now Willow if I touched you with my hand, would I find you wet?” She was on the edge since they were dancing but now it was worse when she tried to answer him but she could only moan. “Yes I would, wouldn’t I? I bet you would cum before I can touch you clit or get my finger inside you good.”
Willow knew if he touched her clit she would probably screamed and cum all over his hand. “Or better yet my cock. I won’t get the head in good before you come all over it.”
The red head was way beyond answering any of his questions now. At this point in time she was trying to focus so she could walk away. She opened her eyes and tried to get her body under control.
“This Willow what you feel now is what you need to have fulfilled…it what we need to have fulfilled. This is not force………,” he whispered and turned her around to look at him. Willow closed her lust filled eyes and when he didn’t speak she opened them again to see Angel’s golden one. “This is love.”
Willow finally got enough energy to step back. “I…...I can’t…..” She said and walked off.
Angel took a long unneeded breathe as he watched her walk off from him again. He stood in spot for about five minutes before moving to head back to his room. He had tried everything and now it was going to be up to her to make any other moves involving their relationship.
***
Willow couldn’t make it back to her room fast enough. As she passed by the demons and vampires they would look her way….smelling her…..as she passed but none of them moved to chase her and she knew why.
She walked in her room and closed the door so she could lean on it.
“You are wrong, you know,” Xander spoke making Willow jump.
“What? What are you talking about?”
“Why are you denying your love for that man…ummm…vampire? I know his counter part was wrong, dead wrong for what he did to you, but it wasn’t Angel. Angel loves you Willow and would do anything for you and you love him too because if you didn’t you wouldn’t be ducking and hiding from him now,” he told her. Willow looked at Xander as those words soaked in. She was pissed that he was right. She angrily looked at him. Seeing a bit of anger in her eyes he apologized. “Sorry not to intrude in your love life but I just came here to get some more money because the slots machines is kicking mine and Cordy’s asses,” he chuckled. “But I am determined to win all of my hundred and fifty dollars back.” Xander turned to zip his bag back up.
“What about you and Cordy?”
“Huh?” He said turning back to her.
“You and Cordelia.”
“What about us?”
“Your relationship? You seem so fun on getting Angel and me together. What about the two of you?”
“We talked earlier today and we don’t want a relationship anymore but that’s our choice with you two it’s different.”
“Why it is different? We have a choice too.”
“It is different because it wasn’t love that we felt it was only lust. Lust that brought two teenagers together that loved sex,” he explained looking at his friend. “God Willow! I wish we had what you two have….Love….Loyal….and Compassion. You haven’t dated anyone since him and look at him. He stills sends you birthday presents…Valentine Day gifts…. Christmas present and flowers just for the hell of it, what man would do that? Any man by now would have moved on and banged another girl, but not Angel he probably hasn’t looked at any female since you and I bet you women has been throwing themselves at him left and right but I bet he refuses them,” he made sure she understood before continuing, “You know that I love you as a friend but I want you to think Willow. Think before there is no second or in your case one hundredth and one chance.”
Willow got out of his way to let Xander by when he motioned for her to move. “Remember you don’t have to look for love,” he said as he walked out and into the hall. He saw Angel’s hurt face going into his room. “It’s only two doors down.”
Xander smiled at her before walking off. Willow closed the door behind him. “Shit….shit…shit..shit..shit,” she cursed over and over. “I hate it when he is right.” Willow took off her coat and laid it on her bed. She walked out of her room and down to Angel’s door.
Knocking softy she got herself together as she waited for the door to open.
Angel groaned hoping it was his glass of blood he ordered. He had pretty much stripped down and was going to lie down until the end of the trip and try to forget the smell of the red head, which lingered on his skin. He puts on his robe and tied it in the front before opening the door.
“Your right I don’t have to be forced,” Willow whispered as she walked up to him. She grabbed him around the neck pulling him down to kiss him.
Angel was a bit taken back. It took him a second to register what was happening. The kiss went on and on before Willow needed to breathe and released his lips.
“God!” She moaned as he pulled her into his room and closed the door.
Xander chuckled as he witness the whole thing. He was only returning because he left his ID on the table.
“Hey Xander,” Cordelia greeted walking up to him. “I gave up on the slots. Now I just want to sleep.”
Xander chuckled. “I wouldn’t go in there if I were you Cordy.”
She let go of the knob and looked at Xander funny.
“Why not?” She asked then heard Willow’s voice moaning against the door. “That’s all right I already know. Hey! Can I bunk with you tonight seeing that I don’t want to be in the same room with them?”
“Sure.”
“I just hope they pass out soon because I really need my clothes. But I know that’s not an option for them because they have years to make up for.”
“For real,” he agreed. “Care to try to help me win some of my money back?”
“Yep. I can’t change and I doubt that I can sleep with this dress on.”
“You can always sleep nude if you want.”
Cordelia hit him playfully on the arm. “Alright lover boy you know that is not going to happen.”
“Hey was I wrong for trying?” He said as they headed back to the casino.
***
Willow moaned as Angel slammed her back against the door. He kissed her fiercely and poured all the missed moments into that kiss.
Angel moved his hand and begins to unzip her dress. Once all the way unzipped Willow dropped her arms from around his neck to let the dress fall to the floor. Angel growled seeing her standing there with nothing on but black-laced underwear.
“I need you Angel,” she moaned.
He began to massage her shoulders as he continued to kiss her. To prove his earlier point Angel slipped his hand under her waistband and before her could get his finger in her good Willow released his lips as she came while trying to push herself hard into his hand. He smiled and bent down to her ear, “Told you I didn’t have to force you.”
He removed his hand and grabbed her panties and pulled them down as far as he could from his standing position. Willow started working on his tie on his robe. They both stopped their actions when they heard a knock on the door.
“Go away,” Angel yells out not caring who it was.
“Sorry sir but it’s your drink you ordered,” they heard a man voice on the other side of the door.
Angel was going to get it but when willow stepped all the way out of her underwear that thought left him.
“Take it back and bill me for it.”
“Are you sure sir?”
“YES,” both yelled as Angel took off the robe. He grabbed Willow’s hand and pulled her toward the bed.
He made sure she laid down in the middle of the bed. He looked at her for a moment before covering her body with his.
Angels’ body melted against hers and his skin against her skin. Oh god, it's been too long since they touched. Angel smiles down before kisses her hard on the lips. Willow groaned and responded back. His lips break away from her mouth making Willow moan as his lips leave a trail of fire down her throat. He manages to hit every single nerve along the way, so that by the time he's worked his way across her cheek to her mouth Willow was completely on fire.
He sucks hard on her skin as he leaves her lips again and starts a downward path making her arch and squirm. Cool lips slide past her stomach making her shake at the sensation of cool skin against her warm skin. Willow grabs his head stopping him. Angel looks up at her asking her silently why she stopped him.
"No time for that now Angel. I need you in me." her voice begs hoarsely as she looks down at him. "I need you in me now."
Willow thighs spread wide for him as he moves back on top of her. His hands come down on her thighs, pulling her closer. He positions her as he hurriedly guides himself to soaking passage. Willows breaths stops in her throat and she struggle for air at the stunning sensation of his cool body against hers.
He presses forward tortuously slow. Angel almost screams at how hot and wet she was. He had Angelus memories but feeling it for him self was much better. Willow felt a slight pain as he enters her. It's been to long since she been with his counter part.
The red head began to arch and claw at the bedcovers as he slides his full length into her. Willow could hear high-pitched whimpering from far off and vaguely realize those sounds are coming from her lips.
Angel stops which make her open her glazed eyes to find his golden once staring at her.
"Are you all right?" he asks roughly.
Willow couldn’t find breath to speak. She only nods wordlessly as her fingers digs into the mattress. Even with her having had one orgasm she was on the edge of another one already. Willow finally knew he was right; he didn’t have to force her. Watching Willow closely, he pulls back and presses into her with a long, slow stroke. Willow let her eyes close again and her head falls back at the sensation. She begins rocking her hips to accept him as more pleased whimpers fall from her lips.
He continues with a slow, steady motion that was driving Willow crazy. He was making her crave more. She wanted him harder, faster, yet she still wanted him to move against her with that same long, slow stroke for the rest of forever. Thinking on for a brief moment, Willow knew that was the feeling he wanted her to feel.
Willow unclenches her hands from the mattress and reaches for him. Angel growls out before he leans forward to take her lips in a deep kiss and his arms wraps around her shoulders. The movement causes her to whimper and clutch him tightly as his movement shifts the angle of his body and makes him go deeper inside her. The red head pulls her lips from his. Her tongue slips away from the swirling play of his, and breathe deeply.
He picks up the pace as he starts driving into her with a power that makes her whole body shudder. Willows hands sinks into his hair and tug hard, deliberately inflicting pain. The movement causes him to drop the human mask. He had been fighting it since they started. Willow takes in a breath as he looks into her eyes. He moves harder which is what she wanted. Willow starts to shake under his assault and she tries to claw him. He grabs her hands and placed them over her head.
He grips her wrists and his body drives against hers. She could only shudder and let his strength flow around her. Willow closes her eyes and arch under him while throwing her head back against the pillow. He continues for a long time, driving into her, feeling his body moving against hers, his cool skin against her hot skin. Angel was growling as he felt his orgasm coming.
“God! Willow,” he yells before biting into Angelus mark. The movement sends undivided pleasure to Willow and she screams as he takes her blood into his mouth.
After she calms down some Angel releases her throat and begins to slam against her hard. He cries out harshly in a language she doesn’t understand. Listening she noticed that it Gaelic.
Willow knew it's been a long time for him, too.
Shuddering against her. Willow could feel his body slowly wind down as he relaxes against her and his grip on her wrists loosening. He takes a long shuddering sigh then releases her wrists. His arm goes back around her shoulders to gather her against him. His face drops to her shoulder and she take pleasure in the cool of his breath against her skin. They stay like that for a long time, his body still tangled with hers, his face against her skin.
“That was incredible,” Willow finally speaks.
Angel pulled out of her slowly and lay beside her. “I think you have the under statement down pack Willow.”
Willow yarned as she felt her body needed to recharge. It had been a long time waiting for this.
“Sleep,” he tells her as he pulls her so that she was lying on his chest. Not before long both lovers were out.
~Part: 22~
Sunnydale Next Morning……Magic Shop
“I don’t think we should have let them go Giles,” the slayer spoke as she paced back and forward in the Magic Shop.
“Buffy, do stop pacing and have a seat,” Giles instructed. He waited for her to sit before continuing, “Have you talked to either of them?”
She looked at her watcher.
“No Giles,” she countered. “I called Willow’s cell phone at least fifty times to see if they found the egg but I keep getting her voice mail and Xander was a lost cause when I found his cell in my cars front seat after they left.”
Giles took off his glasses and began to clean them nervously.
He was thinking of some encouraging words that would help both, him and the slayer believe that their friends were all right.
“Well….umm…” he stumbled but couldn’t say anything.
“I know Giles. This is the point where you try to help me feel better with a long speech about how they are doing but save it… and--,” she stopped abruptly and peeped down the hall after seeing what looked like a person’s shadow.
The slayer grabbed the stake out of her bag just in case it wasn’t human.
She stood and continued to talk. “Yeah…Giles, Willow and Xander should be…..,” she glanced back at Giles and motioned for him to stay still. “Yep they are a okay…” she reached behind a bookshelf and grabbed the person behind it by the collar.
The slayer held up the stake.
“Whoa! Slayer! Wait a minute! I just came looking for red!” Spike explained grabbing Buffy’s wrist just as she tried to stake him.
Buffy could feel that this was a vampire so staking was an option but she wanted to know what he wanted with Willow.
“How did you get in here in the first place? And why are you looking for Willow? Better yet who are you?” she asked him.
Spike took an unneeded breath. “Well slayer if you put down the stake then we can talk.”
By this time Giles had his own weapon as he walked up to Spike. Buffy looked at him making sure he was in swinging distance just incase the vamp tried to kill them. She wasn’t the type to let a vampire live.
“Slow down slayer… and call off the watcher,” he said. “I come in peace.”
“I don’t make peace with vampires,” she retorted.
“I just need Red’s help then I can go,” Spike clarified.
Buffy looked at Giles then back to the newcomer.
“Who are you?” she asked again.
“My name is Spike,” he stopped speaking and looked at Buffy and Giles to see if either Willow or Angel had talked about him.
Remembering that name she asked. “You are one of Angelus’ children?” Seeing Spike nod she spared, “Oh you can get the hell up outta here right now,” then she walked off without another word.
Spike watched the girl as she raced back to the front of the shop.
“Buffy,” the watcher called out as he approached his slayer.
“No Giles I don’t deal with the children of Angelus. He was wrong and they were in on it and…and…if you go near Willow...,” she threatened as Spike walked up to them, “I will make sure the last thing you see is the sun.”
“Feisty little thing. Isn’t she watcher?” The blonde vampire stated as he looked at her. “I like that in a woman,” he teased.
“What is it you want Spike?” Giles looked at the vampire.
Seeing they were not in a playful mood he explained what he wanted. “I want red to do a love spell for me.”
“I thought you left town Spike,” the watcher inquired, not really caring about what spell he wanted done.
“I did but my beloved Dru left me for some other demon, so I want to put a love spell on her to bring her back. That’s where Red comes in.”
Buffy chuckled, “You came all the way back here to find Willow to do a love spell? You couldn’t find any other witch or gypsy to cast the spell?” She looked at the blonde vampire and grabbed her stake. “That's a load of sh--”
“Buffy! Enough!” the girl's watcher bawled for her to stop talking.
Buffy glanced over at Giles then back at the book on the table.
“She isn’t here anyhow,” she whispered as she pretended to read.
Spike paid close attention to the slayer the entire time, not trusting her just as much as she didn’t trust him. “Will she be back soon?”
After a couple of seconds Buffy spoke, “No and I am sorry that your girlfriend's a big whore… well no, I’m not… but you can leave if that’s what your waiting on. Willow is not going to be doing a spell for you.”
Spike glanced at Giles as he nodded in agreement even if Buffy was being rude about it. Seeing that he didn’t have a choice he decided to do something that he never in his life, well, un-life, thought about doing. He would go to plan B.
“I want to help,” he whispered.
Buffy shook her head thinking that she heard something wrong, “Excuse me, but what was that?”
“I want to help you slayer,” he said a little louder.
Buffy couldn’t help it as she started to laugh.
“I’m sorry Spike,” she apologized seeing the anger in his eyes. “It was hard enough to trust Angel after we found out he was a vampire with a soul. Now I am supposed to try to trust a vampire without one.”
“Well, I want to because I--I can’t,” he said looking down in shame.
The watcher looked up, “You can’t what Spike?”
Taking a long unneeded breath Spike ran his hand through his hair.
“You know, you vampires take in a lot of air that you don’t need,” Buffy joked.
“Well this is hard,” he snapped. “When me and Dru were in L.A. I got trapped in this place called “The Initiative”. These men caught me and placed a bleedin’ chip in my head that prevents me from hurting humans.”
Spike watched Buffy as she stood and walked over to him. He took a step back as he observed her. He didn’t want to be staked.
“So what you are saying is that I can do this...?” she asked while giving Spike a quick jab to his face before he could question what she could do to him.
“Buffy,” Giles scolded.
“Sorry Giles but that was for what Angelus did to Willow,” she replied as she took her seat again.
“What in the bloody hell that has to do with me?!” The blonde yelled as he checked his nose for any broken bones.
“You were there,” she told him.
Shaking off the pain, Spike continued, “Back to what I was saying until I was rudely punched. I can’t hurt humans and when Dru helped me out she burned the place down and that’s why Angel was called there to help with vampire activity. When we left town Dru left me because…” he sniffed feeling the tears come into his eyes as he talked about his goddess, “Because she said I wasn’t the man I used to be.”
“You’re not a man,” Buffy reminded him.
“You know what I mean slayer,” he snapped again. “She left me for something that wasn’t my fault.”
“You know, being spaded tends to make a girl feel less sexy… or is it neutered… I forget which one goes with which,” she teased.
“Look slayer do you want my help or not?”
Pretending to think she came up with a quick answer. “Not,” she answered quickly looking back down at the book.
“Buffy!” Giles yelled again.
“Is that the only word you know today? There are more words that start with B… like “beat down blonde vampire” , “break blonde vampire neck” …” she stopped talking and peeped at her watcher’s unsatisfied eyes, she took a long breath then answered, “Okay, I can use your help.”
“Great,” he said sitting at the table with her, “What do we do first?”
“Nothing,” she snorted, “We do nothing for what will be a long day then I…we go patrolling tonight.”
“I think I can handle that. Nothing is my specialty.”
“I’m sure of it,” she agreed looking at her watcher who nodded at her judgment. If Giles could read her mind I don’t think he would be standing in that spot he was standing at the time.
As she explained things to Spike, Giles went to the back room to do inventory.

Angel woke up around eight. He was lying on his side with his beloved redhead lying on her back with her head on his arm. He knew she would be tired heck he, himself, was still exhausted in a way. They had woken up four times and made love each and every one of them. After the last session it was almost dawn so he decided to let her rest.
Willow was an amazing lover. She was so responsive and he could remember that each time he made love to her she was even tighter and wetter than the last.
He turned his head toward her so he could just look down at his lover.
The cover was down to her waist, which meant he had a very good view of her breasts. Feeling his cock starting to harden, Angel groaned trying to will his erection away. He didn’t want to wake her again.
The vampire turned his head back and looked up at the ceiling.
His redhead moaned in her sleep, which didn’t help him at all with his erection problem. He looked back at her as she looked up into his eyes.
“Good morning,” he spoke.
“Morning,” she replied as he kissed her on the forehead. “How long have you been up?”
“Not long…just a couple of minutes.”
Angel couldn’t help it, it wasn’t of any use to try and hide that he wanted her again. He pulled her up towards him and just as he was going to kiss her there was a knock on the door.
“Angel! Willow!,” Cordelia yelled through the door. She wanted to warn the lovers that she was about to enter, that would give them enough time to break things up.
“I am coming in… you two better be decent,” she added.
Angel growled knowing that he wouldn’t get a chance to ravish his redhead again.
“Wait a second Cordy!” Willow yelled as she stood. She grabbed Angel’s robe and tossed it to him then she picked up her dress and headed into the bathroom.
Angel watched with delight as his naked goddess walked around his room unfazed by his predatory eyes.
He put on the robe and told Cordelia to come in.
“It’s about time,” she stated as she walked in carrying a bag. “I will be brief,” she told him as she sat the bag down on the bed. “Here’s Willow’s suitcase, I came to get my things. I don’t want to be without them for the rest of the trip because you two want to play hide the salami all day and night.”
Angel chuckled at how right Cordelia was. He wasn’t planning on letting Willow rest until the last day and by then they probably could talk about their relationship with her in Sunnydale and him in L.A. In fact he haven’t really thought about it at all.
His head turned to the bathroom as he heard the shower starting.
{Sex in the shower} He thought. Good he hasn’t done that in a very, very long time. Maybe he could just sneak in while Cordelia’s packing.
“Angel,” Cordelia yelled breaking his train of thought, which was a good thing because the image of Willow hot and wet in the shower was making him hard, but when he heard his name being called by Cordelia all his systems failed. (If you know what I mean.)
He turned to the brunette trying to keep a smile on his face. “Yes?”
“You and Willow can meet me and Xander at breakfast in twenty minutes if you want to,” she told him as she zipped up her pack, “Okay?”
“Yeah, I’ll see what she wants to do,” he replied absently.
“Bye,” she said, walking out the door.
Angel couldn’t wait for the door to close so he could lock it. He walked towards the bathroom, but was disappointed when the shower stopped. “Well there is always tonight,” he said to himself as he stepped into the bathroom.
He saw Willow standing in front of a mirror with a towel tied around her. She was trying to brush her hair with her fingers. “Is she gone?” Willow asked feeling Angel’s presence over seeing him in the mirror.
“Yes she brought your bag and she wanted us to meet them at breakfast,” he told her, “But seeing you all wet and wearing nothing more than a towel makes me think that I might want a snack now,” he teased in a low whisper.
Willow turned with a smile on her face as she walked up to her vampire.
L.A….Hyperion Hotel
Doyle jumped from the couch as the front door opened and two demons walked in.
“Can I help you?” Doyle asked.
“Yes. Where’s Angel?” One of them asked.
“Sorry, he is unavailable at the moment,” Doyle answered. “But if there is anything I can help you with?” he turned to see the other demon headed for the stairs, “I’m sorry but you can’t…”
His words were cut off as the demon that was in front of him stabbed him through the stomach with a sword. Doyle didn’t see it coming.
Doyle could feel the blood in his mouth as he tried to talk.
The demon pulled his sword out and pushed Doyle to the floor. “You can’t help us but I wanted to let you know that Angel just took a case that ends with him dead,” he looked down as Doyle shook for several moments then died.
The creature wrote a note for Angel then left.
~Part: 23~
"Europamerica" Cruise Boat
Willow moaned out Angel’s name as she came hard, soon followed by her vampire lover. She was sitting on the bathroom counter with his cock buried deep in her wet, hot cunt and his fangs buried in her neck.
Willow was pulled out of her ecstasy trance as she felt Angel rubbing her back and licking his wound to make sure it was closed.
“I can get used to this,” she groaned as he pulled out.
Smiling to himself he gave her a quick kiss on the lips. “You and me both,” he replied.
“Are you ready to go and have breakfast?” His red head inquired as he helped her down from the counter.
“I’m not that hungry, I just had a snack but we can get something into you…besides me that is,” he teased.
Willow playfully hit him on the shoulders before walking out of the bathroom. Angel jumped in the shower to cool off before his mind persuaded him to ravish Willow again. He couldn’t understand why he was this way with her. In all his hundreds of years and hundreds of women he never felt anything but a quick release, or in his Angelus years, quick snack.
He sighed as the water ran through his hair, and started to think more about what they were going to do about their relationship.
***
Willow quickly dressed, but as she buttoned her pants she felt the hunger starting. She grabbed her toothbrush then headed into the bathroom to brush her teeth. She glanced over at the shower's glass door to see Angel’s shadow behind it. Just seeing the outline of his body was making her want him more. The more he wasn’t inside her the more she wanted him.
“Get a grip Willow,” she whispered to herself knowing that soon her panties would be soaking wet.
What Willow didn’t know was her arousal was almost palpable and soon Angel had an erection.
He looked through the glass to see her walking out of the bathroom, just a second too late to drag her in with him.
Instead of going after her he started to concentrate on willing his erection away. Feeling that is was okay for him to get out he turned off the water and grabbed his towel.
As he walked back into the room he could see Willow sitting on the edge of the bed trying to get a reception on her cell phone. “You know it’s a lost cause with that. Mine has been out since we went out to sea.” He advised.
“I know,” she replied looking up at him then down to his chest. The near sight of his chest made Willow forget what she was going to say next. Her stomach tightened which made her look back at her phone.
“Willow you are going to drive me crazy with that you know,” Angel teased as he put on his pants.
“Sorry,” she whispered. Willow was feeling a little embarrassed about feeling like a horny teenager again. She sat her phone back on the nightstand.
Upon hearing the shame in her voice Angel stopped buttoning his shirt to walk up to her.
“Please don’t feel like that, I don’t want you to feel that way Willow,” he said has he stood in front of her, knowing that no words could explain what he wanted to say.
He bent down to kiss her.
As he kissed her he pushed her back gently so he could lie on top of her, in the middle of the bed.
Willow was caught off guard by his movement, but she loved every minute when he was touching her.
As he lay on top of her, Willow felt like she would explode at any second. Angel knew how to turn on a woman, just from a kiss. As he rested on top of her he took a moment to see the lust in her eyes and he knew she could see it in his.
“I love that you feel that way towards me because I feel the same for you,” he moaned as she moved, making him hard.
Willow could feel his erection against, her now wet mound and she wanted nothing more than to have him in her. All thought of food or using the telephone was gone. Her deliberation was broken when he spoke again, “When you were in the bathroom a second ago I got hard just from your smell. I want you all the time but now you need to eat…” he stopped when Willow's arm went around his neck and she grinded her pelvis into his.
“E…eat first Willow.”
“Don’t wanna,” she moaned “I want you.”
That was music to his ears. His first and only love telling him she wanted him was a dream but Angel knew human bodies better than humans themselves and Willow needed to recharge hers before she got sick.
“I want you too baby, but,” he bent and kissed her. “You have to eat and you know Cordy and Xander will come here looking for us.”
Willow pouted and let go of his neck. “Can’t we just order in?”
Chuckling he moved off of her. He wasn’t expecting things to get as hot as they were.
“Maybe tonight we can but for now let’s go and eat.”
Angel chuckled again when he heard her mumbling something about ‘bad vampire should push him in the sun.’ Angel knew it was just frustration acting and that she’d get over it.
After he finished dressing they headed out in search for Xander and Cordelia.
Dinning hall…………..
“I’m surprised you two could walk,” Cordelia joked as the couple made their way to the table.
“Nice to see you too Cordy,” Willow replied, joking sarcastically.
“What’s up Willow ? Angel…?” Xander greeted.
“Hey,” Angel replied as he sat at the table once he made sure Willow was seated.
“So what do you guys want to do tonight?” Xander asked breaking the silence.
Both Angel and Willow exchanged looks and smiled at each other. They knew what they wanted and it didn’t include Xander and/or Cordelia whatsoever.
“Yeah right Xander,” Cordelia responded. “You think these two have time for us right now. They are probably hoping this is gonna be a quick breakfast so they can get back to the room.”
That comment was the truth. They wanted a quick breakfast and a long make out session.
The waiter walked up to the table before anything else could be said. “Are you ready to order now madam,” he asked Cordelia.
“Yes,” she said looking at the menu.
Once everyone made their order Willow looked back at the waiter.
“Is there a telephone I can use to call to Sunnydale? My cell is out.”
“Yes, there is one at the end of the dinning hall,” he replied.
“Thanks,” Willow replied before standing. “I’ll be right back,” she told them, then headed in the direction the waiter pointed.
L.A. …Wolfram & Hart
“Okay Lilah! That did it!” Lindsay yelled as he stormed into her office.
Lilah was standing and talking to some clients. She stopped and turned to look at him then back to her clients.
“That should be all,” she advised. “Thanks for your business.”
She turned and walked back up to Lindsay as soon as her door closed. “What are you bellowing about now?”
Lilah smiled as she felt Lindsay squirming. She was close in his personal space.
”YOU KILLED HIM!!!” he yelled stepping back. “I thought I told you no killing?” he asked.
“No!” she corrected. “You said no killing of the witch and the vampire. You said nothing about the sidekicks,” she pointed out as she went to her chair and sat down. “And where are they anyway? My men couldn’t find out where the vampire is.”
“That is no concern to you. If you keep pulling these stunts we are going to have one pissed off vampire on our hands. Now look Angel and the sidekicks, friends and people that he speaks to are off limits and you, my dear lady, are on paper patrol.”
“WHAT?” she screamed and jumped out of her seat. She walked around the desk and up to Lindsay. “I am not filing any papers.”
With an evil smirk on his face, “Yes you are. The senior partners are fed up with you S-H-I-T and… since you are so fond of the vampire and the witch you are going to be filing their stuff.” With that said and done he finally let out a laugh.
Lilah could feel the anger going through her as her so call co-worker was enjoying her demotion. “You son of a bitch!” she yelled as she ran up to him with her fist, ready to strike. The force field that the company had around it stopped her just inches away from his face. She was thrown back.
“Tsk…tsk…tsk….did we forget to read our handbook? There is no violence allowed in this building unless authorized by the partners,” he teased. “So you can get your things and head down to the basement. A clerk is there to assist you with your new position.”
Lindsay turned feeling no threat from her what so ever.
Unhappy to comply Lilah did as she was told but as she moved she promised that she would bring him, and the senior partners, down and it probably was something in records that could help.
Sunnydale………Magic Shop.
“Slayer is this what you bleedin’ do all day?” Spike whined.
Not in the mood for Spike anyway Buffy looked up at him with a fake smile, “Yeah.” Was all she said before looking back down into her book.
Spike looked at her, “Well what about...? ,” he started but was cut off by a ‘no’ from Buffy.
“Not even...?” he started but stopped again.
“No, just sit and shut up. I have to study because some of us still have to go to school, remember?”
The blonde vampire looked over to see her reading on American literature. “Hey I know a little about that. “The Passing of Grandison”
Feeling a little agitated Buffy spoke but didn’t look up. “Look Spike I know you are trying to help but go over there and try to read, or better yet why don’t you go and play under the sun?”
Giles was on the top floor putting away books as he listened to Buffy insulting Spike. He didn’t get involved but he knew this was going to be a long day and it was only ten in the morning.
“I see it now slayer,” Spike spoke again disturbing her.
Taking a deep long breath Buffy closed her book hard and looked at the vampire.
“See… what?” She said through clenched teeth.
“Oh nothing important,” he joked. “I see that you want me.”
Buffy eyes went wide until they looked as if they would pop out. “I WHAT!?”
“You have the hots for me. I can see it in your eyes.”
Standing fast she made Spike stand up also. “Spike the only thing you see in my eyes is hatred. I want to kick your ass so bad right now it isn’t funny. I hate you and I hate what your sire did to willow but mostly I hate you.”
By the time she had finished talking Buffy was directly in front of him. Smirking he spoke. “Did you come all the way over here to tell me that or do you want a little kiss just to see how it would feel?”
Growling she turned yelling for Giles. Chuckling the watcher walked down the ladder and over to the couple. He had witnessed the whole thing and it was just too funny to interrupt.
“Yes Buffy?” Giles answered.
“I can’t work like this,” She bellowed as she walked over to her watcher. “Could I please push him out into the sun?” The look on Giles’ face told her differently. “What about we play catch the stake… my first pitch.”
“Yeah slayer but I want to slide into first base,” he made a sexual comment.
“GILES!” Buffy whined. “I can’t work with him.”
“What about under him or on top,” Spike replied.
“Children that is enough!” Giles said without trying not to laugh.
“Buffy you go and workout for a while,” he ordered.
“Great then I can get away from the blonde one,” she said as she looked back at Spike and walked off.
“And you go and help, Spike.” Giles ordered. He knew it was for the best. They had to work together so that meant they have to get along.
“Ohhh… I get the see the Slayer all hot and sweaty.”
“Giles,” the slayer whined.
“Buffy,” Giles retorted.
“Spike,” he called out his own name making the two look at him. “What? I felt left out.”
“I can’t work like this,” she added as she and Spike made their way to the downstairs gym.
With another chuckle Giles headed out to get a book from his apartment.
"Europamerica"…Cruise Boat
After about the sixth ring Willow hung up the phone then headed back to the table to eat.
“Is everything okay?” Angel asked as his redhead made it back to the table.
“I don’t know,” Willow truthfully answered.
Upon hearing her answer Xander looked over to her. “What do you mean best bud of mine?”
“Well I called Buffy’s cell and it went to her voice mail then I called the Magic Shop and it just rung.”
“What about home?” Cordelia asked.
“Well she isn’t there much but I did call and it only rung,” she replied. She looked over to her vampire lover. “I hope everything is alright.”
“I’m sure that everyone is okay. You know how Buffy is; she is probably training or something like that.” Angel spoke trying to make her feel a little better. He didn’t want her to worry too much before they got a chance to talk.
Willow smiled at Angel. She knew that he was trying his best to make her feel better and not worry about her friends. The redhead knew that Buffy would be worried about them just as she was worrying about them.
“I’m sure of it,” she told him then turned and looked at her food. “Wow! This looks great.” She quickly changed the conversation and started to eat.
The other’s agreed as the also begin to eat and Angel grabbing his cup of O’ Positive blood.
Sunnydale…Magic Shop
“Come on slayer,” Spike spoke. “Show me what you’re working with.”
Buffy tried to kick the bag as hard as she could in an effort to hurt Spike. She had been working out for thirty minutes now and she was sweaty, tired and Spike was really beginning to piss her off.
“Shut…up…Spike,” she said between breaths as went another round.
After she kicked the bag Spike couldn’t help it. “If I knew you could get them that high I would have hooked up with you instead of Dru.”
With one finally kick Buffy kicked around the bag and hit Spike in the thigh.
“Ouch! Bleedin’ slayer,” he said as he sat on the mat to rub his leg.
Buffy chuckled to herself as she walked up to him. He looked at her and knew that she tried to do it and was probably going to give him a lame excuse about how sorry she was.
“Sorry,” she apologized.
“No your not. You did that on purpose,” he whined still rubbing his thigh.
Seeing that she had hurt him she groaned before dropping to her knees to assist him. When she started to rub his leg Spike dropped back to his elbows and closed his eyes. As she worked on his leg Buffy looked up at the blonde vampire and noticed something that she hadn’t before. Spike was a beautiful man….um vampire. Spike noticed that Buffy’s hard rubs were becoming softer and more erotic. He let her continue until he felt himself getting a little turned on by it.
“Alright slayer enough,” he yelled pushing her hand away as he stood up. Buffy was shocked at her thoughts but what really shocked her was that she could have sworn that Spike was getting an erection behind it.
Spike on the other hand couldn’t believe that he was getting hard from a slayer touching him. “Let’s get this over with.” He snapped.
Buffy looked at Spike as he held the bag again. She wanted to say something about his change of emotion but figured it is best unsaid.
When Buffy finished exercising she went back up to the magic shop to get her cell phone.
“Shit,” she cursed as she listened to her voice mail.
“What is it Buffy?” Giles asked from the top floor.
“Willow left a message. It seems that everything is taken care of with the egg and she had to talk to me about something when she gets back,” Buffy repeated Willow’s words. “And they are having fun.”
“That good to know,” Giles told her.
“Yes it is,” Buffy said as she closed her phone back down. “Giles I’m going home to shower and change. I should be back in a few.”
“O – okay…what about him?” He pointed to Spike.
“Him has a name,” Spike jumped in.
“He’s your problem until I get back,” she told her Watcher just as she headed out the door.
"Europamerica" … Cruise Boat
After breakfast Cordelia and Xander went back to the casino hall in an effort to win some of their money back while Angel and Willow went back to their room so they could talk.
“What’s wrong Willow?” Angel asked after twenty minutes of silence.
Her head turned to look at him. Smiling she answered, “Nothing but thinking about what will happen to us the minute we walk off this boat.”
Angel took in a deep breath. This conversation wasn’t supposed to come up until the last day of the trip.
Sitting on the bed next to her he looked at his love. “What do you want?”
“I want to be with you,” she honestly answered.
“And I know you have Sunnydale and I have LA and neither one of us could leave because we have responsibilities. You have school and I have my duties over here.” If Angel had never spoken the truth before he had now.
“Then what are we going to do?” Willow whispered.
“Nothing,” he said.
Willow went wide-eyed at his response. “Nothing!? How could you just say that?”
“You didn’t let me finish,” he replied as he watched her reaction. “You can finish your first year there. In the mean time you will apply for some colleges in LA.”
“Why…what?”
“Willow,” he called out. “Buffy is a slayer with a watcher and she doesn’t need a witch because she is a big girl now. On the other hand I need a witch and my lover to be in LA with me. After I done my part with LA, I will be getting out of there with my lover by my side,” he smirked seeing her taking it all in. “And under me and on top occasionally.”
“You just couldn’t let that go could you?” She said smiling.
Shaking his head he laid down beside her. “Good plan?”
“Yes but you know Buffy isn’t going to like the idea of me leaving even with her trying to get us together all the time.”
Angel didn’t speak at first he reached over and started to play with the button on her pants.
“How about we think about satisfying us now and worry about Buffy later. Much later,” he suggested as he unbuttoned her pants and slipped his hand under the waistband of her underwear.
Willow moaned out a yes as he brought her to a fast release with his fingers first.
