&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

His fingers were wrapped gently around hers as he watched his other-self making love to her, and... he thought he'd never seen anything so erotic in his life. A large part of him wanted to be a part of it right then, but... Angel was going to claim their girl, and that wasn't something he *should* be involved with, or at least, not any more than he already was, and besides, there were... reasons for him to hold himself back... reasons that he shouldn't touch her for the moment, and he was content to just... watch. His fingers tightened slightly around her own much smaller ones as he watched her arching hard against his vampiric double, and he tried repeatedly to convince himself of the necessity to refrain from doing what he really wanted to. It was difficult, though... almost impossible, in fact, because... he really wanted nothing other than to fling himself at *both* of his lovers, and join them in their dance.

Angel was forcing himself to move slowly and smoothly within his witch, even though the majority of him was screaming for him to just... take her hard and fast! But this wasn't about release, he reminded himself, it was about *love*, and *belonging*, and claiming her for his own, just as he'd done with Liam, although *that* had been less intentional. It didn't matter, though, because... claim the human he *had*, and... that was just fine with him. He could see their joined hands from the corner of his eye, see the tension in his human-self's long form, and... he didn't understand why the man was just... *laying* there. But maybe, he told himself, he hadn't made it clear that Liam was more than welcome to join in... and that the claiming would be that much stronger if *all* the participants... participated...? He moaned loudly as he slid into Willow's tight, wet heat again, and his eyes closed for a moment when her strong inner muscles tried to hold him still within her. "Will..." he grunted quietly, pausing for a moment, "Do you still... *want* this? This *claiming*?" He remained still within her perfection, ignoring the voice of his demon that was shouting at him to stop being such a girl.

The redhead slowly pulled her hand from Liam's warm grasp, and raised it to her Angel's smooth cheek. "Yes," she said definitively, "I want this, Angel... and I know what it means, too!" She slid her fingers down his face and neck, and slipped her hand around his side and down, until it joined her other one in gripping tightly at his ass. "I... I *love* you, Angel! Don't *stop*... don't stop *now*!" She groaned, deep and loud, when he finally began moving in her again, her eyes closing tightly at the beloved sensation. It was the first time he'd been this slow and sweet with her, and... she loved it! Of course, she reminded herself, she *also* loved it when he wasn't either of those things, so... win/ win proposition! She almost chuckled at the irrelevant thought, but gasped instead as he drove himself slowly and fully into her once more.

Liam was amazed at the control his other-self was displaying, because, as he knew from experience, it was almost impossible. She was just too... perfect. Her sweet, tight little body almost shrieked to be taken hard and fast, and... he was almost unable to control himself just *watching*! And he so wanted to do more than watch, but... this was a claiming thing, and although he didn't know that much about vampiric mating rituals, he was fairly certain that it was amazing enough that he was even allowed to be *present*! And that was why his eyes flew wide when Angel's eyes latched on to his, and he heard the words his vampire-self spoke.

"Liam..." Angel said softly, staring into the human's eyes as he continued to slowly stroke in and out of his witch, "My room... the nightstand..." He smiled slightly when Liam's eyes flew wider, and turned his attention back to the girl beneath him, his smile growing just a touch broader at the speed with which his human-self moved from the bed. His eyes and teeth slid quickly to true when Willow arched hard against him, the rest of his face quickly following. "Thank you, Willow," he murmured softly against her ear, "For finally *saying* it... And just so you *know*," his grin became a touch wicked when her eyes flew open, and he pulled back slightly, still thrusting carefully into her, "I love you, too, baby... *All* of me does..."

Liam moved quickly down the hall to Angel's room, and he almost flew across the living area in his hurry to reach the bedside table that Angel had mentioned. He didn't know quite what his vampiric-self had in mind, but... if it required lubricant, then he was fairly certain that he was all for it! He snatched up the close-to-empty tube, and turned around, swiftly retracing his steps, until he was back on the bed beside his two lovers, almost before he knew it! He lay on his side, eyes wide as he watched Angel's enormous cock disappear repeatedly into their girl's small body.

Willow was moaning loudly, but she just couldn't seem to help it! There was something about knowing that Angel was actually going to *claim* her, right in front of Liam, that was just too... exciting! And the fact that the three of them were all together; that Liam was watching her make love with Angel? That was equally enticing! Still, a part of her wished that there was a way for her human lover to be a part of the festivities, and when she felt him leaving her bed, she groaned slightly in protest. But he was back before she could manage to formulate any words, and her loud moans only became *more* loud when Angel rolled onto his side, pulling her with him.

He hadn't had the opportunity to make love to her side by side yet, but when Liam returned from the little mission he'd sent him on, he figured it was time... besides, he *needed* the human to be involved if the three of them were going to be together in the way they'd decided to be, so... he slid his hands gently under Willow's shoulders, and once he was again fully sheathed in her tight heat, he rolled them onto their sides. One hand slid down her back, pulling her leg over his hip, and he stared deep into Liam's eyes over her shoulder, nodding at the human's questioning expression.

He felt his cock twitching at the very thought of what Angel was inviting him to do, and a small part of him wondered whether Willow was even aware of what the vampire had silently proposed, but... if this was going to *work* for them, she'd have to face the fact that they wouldn't always be willing to take turns with her, and... He nodded slightly in return as he opened the tube and squeezed a large dollop of its contents into his hand. His eyes closed as he spread the thick, slick gel over his turgid shaft, and once he was thoroughly coated, he filled his fingers again, this time moving them to her small, pink anus. He groaned loudly as he slid the slippery substance around the tightly clenched hole, his eyes squeezing shut even tighter as he slipped one large, thick finger inside.

She gasped out a small, surprised shriek when she felt him thrust first one, then another finger deep inside her tight ass. It was an almost sinful sensation, especially when added to the feeling of Angel's huge, cool cock sliding in and out of her slowly and surely, and when yet another large, warm finger entered her tiniest opening, she groaned deeply. As the fingers in her started to slowly twist and spread, she understood exactly what was about to happen to her, and... while one very small part of her brain was screaming out in protest, the majority of her was awash in a sea of sensual delight, and... "Yesss..." she hissed, her eyes rolling back in her head when the fingers were removed and replaced with the broad, slick head of Liam's hot, throbbing cock.

He felt her stiffening slightly beside him, felt her stilling around him, and when she hissed again, he knew that his human-self was beginning his hopefully gentle invasion. He held himself motionless, fully sheathed within her too tempting heat, and groaned as he felt Liam's long, thick cock slowly forcing its way into her. He could *feel* the broad head against his own shaft, through the small membrane of skin, and it was... wicked, and decadent, and entirely what he'd hoped it would be, and he groaned again.

His hands were tight on her hips, and he was breathing hard as he entered her. She was so *tight*, and he knew that she was made more so by Angel's cock still buried fully within her channel, and... he'd never even *imagined* anything like this! He could feel his hardness against the vampire's through a *very* thin layer of slick skin, and Gods help him, he loved it! He could feel her asshole twitching madly, in protest of his entry, but... she was moaning and grunting in what he thought was pleasure, and... he pressed himself deeper, sighing out in satisfaction and anticipation when he was finally in her to the hilt. "Will..." he groaned, his hands moving from her hips to Angel's. He tightened his grip then, and pushed harder against her, his eyes closing in sheer rapture when he felt his other-self begin to pull back.

She wasn't sure, for a moment, of whether she was in heaven or hell. His cock sliding deep into her ass hurt so badly, especially when she was already full with Angel, but... it didn't matter, she decided, when she heard his deep, fulfilled groan, and heard Angel's matching one. Her fingers clenched hard against her vampire's cool rear, and she felt his cock throb hard inside her when she felt the thick, sticky coolness of his blood against her fingertips. She wanted to apologize for piercing his skin with her nails, but she couldn't seem to form words, what with the fact that she couldn't quite breathe. She felt so... full, she decided after a moment or two, and so... *right*! To have *both* of her lovers planted firmly and deeply within her was just... more than she'd ever expected, and as she relaxed a bit, and Angel pulled back from her, she groaned, suddenly able to breathe again. And then Angel reversed his motion, sliding fully into her again as Liam pulled back, and... Heaven, she realized wonderingly, she was in *heaven*!

Angel could feel himself starting to growl, low and deep in his chest, and... even if he'd *wanted* to, he couldn't have contained it, because... she was *there*, and he was *inside* her, and he could feel *Liam* through her, and... she was moaning, and rocking her hot, tight little body back and forth, meeting their thrusts, and this was *it*! *This* was what he'd been looking for, for his entire *existence*! Oh, not the act of sharing a woman with a male lover, because he'd done that many a time with Spike, but... *This*! This moment, with these people... his *lovers*! *His* lovers! His wide golden eyes focused for a moment on Liam's brown ones, then shifted to Willow's wide green gaze, and he stayed there, looking into her intently as his thrusts became faster... slightly harder, and he could feel his human-self's motions keeping time with him, and... He growled loudly as his woman... *their* woman... clenched hard around him, her eyes rolling back in her head as she shouted her release into the still air of her room. His lips peeled back from his sharp teeth, and almost before he knew he was doing it, he struck, driving his fangs deep into her sweet, soft neck. His eyes closed then, as he focused on the taste of her, and... he felt the bond spring into being, felt the circuit flowing through him, to his woman, to his human-self, and back again, and... it was too much. He thrust deep into his Willow one more time, and when he felt Liam thrusting against him as he, too, sheathed himself fully in their witch, he pulled his teeth from her skin, and cried out as he filled her hot, tight cunt with his cool, dead seed.

He felt it when she came, in the almost painful tightening of her asshole around his hungry cock... felt it when Angel did, as well, and... much as he wanted to follow right behind them, he just... couldn't. Not yet. This was their first time together as a trio, and... he couldn't quite let himself go just yet, so he pulled himself from her again before thrusting deep into her once more, his breath becoming harsh and erratic. His hands were still fastened on his vampire-self's hips, and he pulled the cool form of him closer with each thrust. He could feel Angel's softening cock through the girl they both loved, and he moaned aloud when he felt it stiffening again. He watched as the vampire licked gently at the seeping wound on their woman's neck, and when his large, cool fingers slid up Willow's back and scratched at the bite mark on *his* chest... he couldn't help himself! He felt one nail slide deep into the scabbed wound, and as it broke open, he moaned deeply, driving himself hard into the redhead's tight ass once, twice, and then once more as he howled his fulfillment loudly. He lay there, on his side, eyes closed, as he felt Angel's thick, hard cock pulled from the girl they'd just shared, and he was completely incapable of movement, even when he felt the bed spring upwards. He knew that that meant that Angel had gotten up, but... as the mattress dipped behind him, he found that he wasn't worried about it. Obviously, his vampire double wanted a bit of snuggling time, and who was *he* to say him 'nay'?

Willow almost groaned when her Angel pulled himself from her willing heat, and completely away from her, but... Liam was still in her ass, and she was so... tired! It had been an emotional day, after all. She tried desperately to quell her own giggles at the thought, and was proud when she actually managed to. Her tired eyes flew wide then, however, because Liam's hands suddenly tightened on her hips, and she felt him pressing his softening cock deeper into her aching ass. "Liam...?" she asked softly, glancing over her shoulder, and "Ohhh..." when she saw the reason he was doing so, and suddenly... she wasn't so tired anymore.

There was more to a claiming, he reminded himself, than just the fucking and feeding. And if he was going to have the both of them bound not only to *him*, but to each other, then... A sly smile crossed his lips as he felt Liam explode deep inside their woman's tight, hot ass, and he pulled his once again turgid shaft from her perfect twat. He stood quickly, and moved around the bed, stretching himself out behind the long, chiseled form of his other self. His hand stretched behind him, finally happening upon the discarded tube of lubricant, and he squoze the rather small remainder onto his fingers. He coated his twitching shaft as best he could, then spread the little bit remaining over Liam's dry hole. He barely prepared his human at all, mostly because he just didn't have that kind of patience, but also because his demon was screaming out for him to show the man just who belonged to whom, and his hands settled over his human-self's on their woman's bruised hips as he pressed the tip of his thick shaft against Liam's asshole, and he groaned almost silently as his broad head forced its way through the almost unbearably tight ring of muscle.

He barely held in his grunt when Angel's thick, cool shaft drove into his tight anus, but... he didn't want to alarm Willow, and... he figured that he didn't have any right to bitch, especially since their girl had just been through the same thing, but from *him*! So he tried to relax, only allowing one small groan to slip past his lips when the vampire suddenly buried himself balls-deep. His eyes were wide as his male lover pulled back until only the huge head of his pulsating member was still inside him, and they slammed closed again when that same cock was just as quickly and powerfully forced into him to the hilt once more. "Wait..." he moaned, amazed when Angel actually stopped, and he raised one leg, wrapping it over and around their Willow's abdomen. "Okay..." he sighed, grunting loudly when his vampire began slamming deep into him once more. He could feel the tip of Angel's huge, cool shaft brushing against his prostate, and feel himself growing hard again from the sensation. A muffled groan slipped from his lips when the redhead suddenly pushed away from him and his now-throbbing cock was left, naked and alone, bobbing in the cool air of the room. "Willow..." he groaned unhappily, only to stop, eyes wide, when she turned around and slid onto him again, this time clutching at his turgid member with her sweet, silken cunt. He wanted to stop her, because he wasn't sure of exactly what he was anymore, or what might happen because of that same uncertainty, but... her lips were pressed tightly to his, and her sweet, spearing tongue was sweeping hard through his mouth, and... by the time she pulled away, he wasn't thinking about anything other than driving hard into her while Angel slammed deeply and harshly into his anus.

Willow wasn't thinking, herself, or at least not about anything other than feeling Liam's thick member deep inside her wetness, and... the fact that she'd just had Angel, and he was now plundering the *hell* out of their human's ass, only made her more determined. She forced herself to roll from him, a small sigh slipping from her lips as his turgid shaft slid from her asshole, and she quickly turned over. Her mouth found it's way to his, and she thrust her tongue almost into his throat as she impaled herself on his bobbing cock. Her knee drawn up, she pressed herself closer, the new position allowing him to penetrate her even deeper, and she moaned as his thrusts, driven by Angel, became harder... deeper even than she'd hoped, and... She had a feeling that she wouldn't be walking any time soon, but... right at the moment, she didn't much care! No, it was enough that she felt his warmth within her... heard his soft moans and grunts as he was taken from before *and* behind, and... Her hand slid over his waist, seeking and finding the large, cool body of her vampire, and her fingers rested lightly against his skin, her nails scraping softly at his smooth flesh each time she felt him driving hard into the human between them. She could feel the tightening start in the pit of her stomach, feel the tingling spreading from the point she was joined to them through, and... her eyes closed tightly, and her fingers tightened on Angel's solid waist, at their next particularly intense thrust, and when the movement was repeated, she cried out, head thrown back, as the sheer pleasure crashed down over her.

He could feel Liam's asshole tightening rhythmically around him, and smell his witch's fulfillment, and... when he slammed hard against his human-self's prostate once more, he almost screamed at the strength he was gripped with! A deep growl rumbled through his chest, and he drove himself harder and faster into Liam's willing ass, his fangs tasting flesh for the second time that night as he came, and came *hard*, teeth buried deep in Liam's warm, salty neck.

Just watching Willow cum had been almost enough for him, and feeling Angel's thick, cool cock slamming deep into him only added to the pleasure, and when the vampire rammed hard at that particular spot within him, he couldn't help himself! His eyes closed tightly as he filled his woman with his hot, milky seed, and when Angel's fangs pierced his neck, he could have sworn that he came again! He groaned loudly when the huge cock was pulled from his aching asshole, and chuckled slightly when he felt cool lips trailing down his back, but... Territorial, Angel'd said the last time. His eyes widened, and a grin split his face, when the vampire finished and climbed over both him and Willow, because... he could tell by the look in his other-self's eyes that their girl would most likely be *very* surprised when she got the same treatment... from *both* of them!

She was more exhausted, now that things had quieted down, than she thought she'd ever been in her life, and when Angel crawled over her, settling behind her, she sighed happily. Of course she sighed again-- almost in disappointment-- when Liam pulled his softening cock from deep within her, but... she supposed it was only fair. After all, they *did* have to sleep sometime, and... A loud, shocked gasp flew from her lips as she felt both their mouths trailing over her skin, and when Angel's tongue swept over her sore anus, followed moments later by Liam's on her well-used pussy, she found herself caught between disgust and desire, because... this wasn't something she'd ever imagined, and... it felt so... good, but kind of... *dirty* in a way! Of course, she reminded herself, she *had* just made love with them both, and Angel had claimed her, and probably had claimed Liam, too, so... She pushed all thoughts of perversion from her mind, and focused on the sensation of the ones she loved tasting her intimately. She wouldn't hold herself to the standards of the world around her, she decided. There would be no *point*! She wasn't *like* most of the world, and... she was in love with a souled vampire and his human-- yet still eternal-- twin. Her life wasn't like other peoples'! She groaned softly as their continued attentions pushed her towards another orgasm, a small shriek passing her lips when she arrived.

They pulled away from her separate holes when she cried out for them, and their eyes met across her sated and trembling body, matching smiles of satisfaction on their faces. Slowly, they slid back up the bed, until their girl was sandwiched tightly between them, and they shared yet another grin at her deep, steady breaths.

"I think we wore her out," Liam said softly, an arrogant smirk crossing his lips for a moment.

Angel assumed a matching expression, his pure delight in everything that had happened still shining in his eyes. "Yeah... but you look kind of tired yourself..." he purred, even his demon quieted for the moment by the sheer satisfaction of claiming these two humans.

"I am," Liam said hesitantly, "But... we need to *talk*, Angel..." He sighed at the vampire's almost angry glare. "No, I'm *not* re-thinking things, okay? It's just... I think I may have... fucked up. *Badly*!"

The vampire spent a moment calming his suddenly twitching demon part, and another trying to keep himself from falling into a deep brood. He didn't know what it was that Liam had to say that was so important it couldn't wait, but... he had a feeling he wasn't going to like it. "All right," he finally sighed, "Tell me." He forced his human features to re-emerge as he listened to the man, his brown eyes widening when he understood just what a non-healing bite-- on someone who was supposed to heal almost instantly-- could mean... for them *all*. But whatever happened, he promised himself, they'd deal with it, because... they made him *whole*, the two of them, and... he wasn't going to give that up! *Ever*! He sighed again, deeply, when his other-self... one of his *Mates*... stopped speaking, and he met his tentative glance with a strong one of his own. His hand moved to Liam's smooth, warm cheek as he replied. "We'll figure it out. But not now. You're tired, and... Willow should be involved, considering... Well, it has more to do with her than with me, anyway, so..." He shrugged, smiling slightly when his other-self's head turned just a bit to press a soft kiss into his palm.

The human sighed himself, and lay back against the bed. "I just don't want to lose either of you over this..." he murmured softly as his own weariness dragged him down into sleep.

Angel sighed again, staring intently at his two humans. And they *were* his! He wasn't going to give them up, not even if they *wanted* him to! He extended one hand to his human version's cheek again, two fingers trailing over it lightly, and his eyes widened in hope. Maybe Liam *was* still eternal, because... he knew for *damned* sure that the man hadn't shaved even once in the time he'd been there, and... almost a week, and still smooth as silk! He shook his head slightly at the irrelevant thought, and swore that as soon as they woke up, he was taking the both of them to the Oracles, whether it was time or not! This was his *family*, and... whatever it took, he was going to get some *answers*!

That decided, he slid down on his side, one hand coming to rest on Willow's soft, sweet belly as he watched them sleep.

End.
