"Are you sure you two dont want to go?" Willow asked, her eyes sparkling with happiness. She still couldnt believe that Angel had arranged a
private tour of the Louvre for the evening. He had hinted that the right amount of money could one get anything and she hadn't been rude enough
to ask how much he was paying for her to see the famous museum with Spike.

"Positive." Cordelia jumped to answer. She just wasn't interested in spending yet another night traipsing around some boring museum - the night
before at the opera had been bad enough. There were more pleasant things she could be doing - like Angel. {Err...*quality time* with Angel.} Her
mind corrected. {Not *doing* Angel, get a grip girl.}

"We're just going to stay in and relax some, Will," The dark haired vampire assured her. "Enjoy it." He heard a small snort from his childe and gave
him a warning glare. He hoped the blonde knew how special it was for Willow to be able to see this together. "Be good Spike and watch out for her."

"Yes, daddy." Spike smirked. "C'mon, Red, lets go see some art."

Cordelia watched them go with a small smile on her lips. "So does this mean we have the suite to ourselves for the next few hours?"

Angel nodded, looking into her eyes with what he prayed she would see as desire. They had the suite to themselves. They could be as loud as they
wanted. He shook his head. Where had that thought come from? Its not as though he had gotten rid of the two of them so that he could have
privacy for his first time with Cordelia. Well, okay, so he had. But it was all in the name of true love.

"Yay!" She gave a small girlish squeal. "I'm gonna go take a very long shower then." Her lips met his for the briefest of kisses before she walked off
towards the bathroom. He felt his heart drop. She hadn't noticed the looks he had given her. Hadn't noticed the way he had been hinting to her all
day long. He had *hoped* to take their relationship to the next level tonight, but it didn't look as though that was going to happen. "Are you
coming or not?"

Angel jerked his head up, surprised to see Cordelia still standing in the hallway, her eyes watching him expectantly. She wanted him to shower with
her. His cock jumped to attention at the thought of finally being naked with her. Naked and wet. He shivered with anticipation, moving towards the
bathroom.

Cordelia smiled at the look in his eyes as he stalked towards her. Her eyes strayed to the quite noticeable bulge in his pants, her body suddenly
feeling much warmer than it had a minute ago. He wanted her. There was no doubt about it. And tonight, if he played his cards right, he could have
her. She turned on her heel and went into the bathroom, knowing he wasnt too far behind. She adjusted the water in the shower to a steamy
temperature and reached up to undo the straps of her sundress. Cool hands stilled her movements, caressing the soft skin of her neck and
shoulders as he gently slid the straps down. His lips were everywhere, lips, tongue and teeth working together to create sensations Cordelia had
never experienced before. The cotton sundress fell to the floor at her feet, her body wonderfully bare except for her lace panties in the warming air
of the bathroom.

She turned to face him, her hands reaching between them to pop open the buttons on the vampire's shirt one by one, taking her time as her lips
met his for hungry kisses. She moaned against his velvet kissed lips as his shirt fell away, her bare breasts rubbing against the smooth hardness of
his chest.

He felt her nipples tighten against his chest, hardening into rosy little nubs. Cool fingers moved up to carress them, rolling first one then the other
between his fingers. He smiled at the moans of pleasure that poured from her mouth and into his. He felt her pull at the catch on his pants with
eager fingers, pulling desperately at a zipper that just wouldnt cooperate. He chuckled softly, moving his own hands to help her. Stepping back, he
let pushed the pants down over his hips.

Cordelia gasped as the dark haired creature in front of her shed his pants onto the floor with her dress. She could see his hard cock poking out of
his silk boxers, pale and thick against the soft black material. And then the boxers were gone too, and he was standing there, nude, in front of her,
his eyes filled with lust and love. She felt her stomach tighten with anticipation, stepping forward to kiss him again, his hard length pressed against
her nearly naked body.

He finally had her in his arms, naked. Well..he was naked at least. She was still wearing that annoying bit of cloth. He could smell her arousal in the
air, knew she was wet just for him, only for him. His fingers moved to the edge of the elastic band, sliding the passion soaked cloth down past her
thighs, letting them fall to the floor. Then she was pressed against him again, the soft curls of her nether regions brushing against his bare skin. He
pulled back from her enough to whisper, "Shower."

She nodded, backing slowly towards the large shower. It was easily big enough for the two of them. Her lips never left his as she stepped into the
hot water, her body jumping slightly from the heat. He was gorgeous, standing in the shower, hot water cascading off of his tight muscles, hard
cock throbbing at attention. His hand brushed gently over her wet curls, one finger darting quickly into her lower lips and across her clit. She
moaned, eyes closing, head tilted back in ecstasy.

He began to gently strum his fingers across her clit, slowly building the tension in her body as his lips sought out her neck. He nipped softly at her
throat, careful not to break the skin, but hard enough to leave a small mark. He smiled against her skin, kissing the 'hickey' he had given her and
longing to give her a different kind, one that would show her as his for the rest of her life. He slipped a finger into her wet core, fighting his demon
as he buried his head in her neck. He couldnt claim her tonight. Not on their first night together. He couldnt ask her to do that. He groaned in a
mixture of passion and frustration, bringing his lips to hers in a crushing kiss.

Cordelia was gasping against his mouth, her body shaking with ecstasy from the mere touch of his fingers. She had thought she would pass out
from pleasure when he had nipped at her neck, her mind flashing back to something she had read late one night while researching in a book Giles
had been upset to see she had. Something about biting and claiming. But Angel had pulled away, he had stopped. Obviously he didn't want that
from her. She refused to let disappointment mar her night, though, her mouth pressed to his as their tongues slipped in and out. Hot and cool mixing
and becoming one.

Angel pulled away from her hungry mouth, kneeling in front of her as the water continued to pout down around them in a hot rain. He slipped
another finger into her, pushing the digits in and out of her heated core. Leaning in he let the curls brush softly over his face, breathing in the
scent of Cordelia's arousal before letting his tongue dart out of his mouth to run light over her slit. He put his free hand on her water soaked ass,
holding her steady as he began to lick her clit in earnest, his fingers continuing to thrust in and out of her. He drank her juices, enjoying the taste
of her passion. His teeth gently scraped over her swollen clit, suckling the tiny nub before letting it slide out of his mouth and across his tongue. He
felt her arch into his face, her body seeking release as he continued his slow torture.

Cordelia screamed as her orgasm rode over her, thankful for Angel's strong hands on her body as her knees gave out. He held her steady, his
tongue continuing to lick her clit as he coaxed the last shudder of pleasure from her. And then, he kept going, his tongue and fingers slowly
rebuilding the passion she had just released. She moaned, twining her fingers in his hair and jerking him to his feet. She brought one leg up along his
side, pulling herself up enough to allow his cock to slide against her wet slit.

He moaned against her lips, eyes closed, wanting nothing more than to sink into her warmth and fuck her senseless right there and then. Instead he
found himself whispering. "Lets move this to the bedroom, shall we?" He opened his eyes to see her nod. The water shut off with a hiss and they
stepped out into the steamy bathroom. He grabbed her towel, rubbing the water from her body with tender touches, his cock twitching at the small
moan his carresses brought from her lips. He laid a gentle kiss on her forehead when he finished with her, moving to towel himself off.

The brunette girl watched through passion glazed eyes as the vampire wiped the moisture from his hard form. Her eys swept to his cock, feeling
herself twinge with need at the thought of him burying it deep with her. Then his arms were around her, his lips on hers as he carried her to his
bedroom, laying her down gently in the center of the bed. She felt the gentle pressure of his body on hers as he moved over her, kissing his way
down her neck and shoulders. "Angel..." She signed when he took one of her nipples in his mouth, suckling it like a newborn. Her fingers wrapped in
his haid, holding his mouth to her the rosy bud.

The sound of his name on her lips was almost enough to make him lose himself right there, as he rubbed against the soft skin of her inner thighs. He
brought his head up, pulling his hair from her fingers, and kissed his way back to her lips. His tongue slipped out of his mouth, licking gently at her
lips, begging for entrance to her mouth. She granted it eagerly, pulling him to her, her tongue slipping into his mouth, sliding over his teeth.

Cordelia could feel the growl run through his body as her tongue ran over his teeth. She felt him tense up, as if he would pull away from her.
"Don't." The words were whispered, her eyes pleading as she looked into his. "Dont deny who...what...you are. I know. And I still love you. Be
yourself for me, Angel."

Angel heard the words he never thought he'd hear leave her lips. The thought of the demon coming out didn't scare her. He moaned, moving the
swollen head of his cock to her wet slit. She was so wet and hot. Just for him. *Only* for him, his demon roared. He growled softly, his lips meeting
hers in a fierce kiss as he plunged his aching shaft into her warm core. The thrusts started out slow, then built to a harder pace as the two new
lovers became in synch with each other's bodies. He could feel her vaginal muscles gripping him, squeezing him as he pulled in and out of her body.
He saw her eyes close, her mouth opening slightly as he worked her to her second orgasm of the evening. He reached a hand between their
pounding bodies, rubbing over her clit with an expert touch. She screamed, crying out his name, her body convulsing around his. He looked down
into her face, bending to lick a small tear from her cheek as he continued to pound into her.

Cordelia felt the tension begin to rebuild in her body as he continued to thrust into her. He was growling. The sound was low and full of passion, his
eyes never leaving hers as his cock slammed in and out of her sopping channel. She saw his eyes go gold the second before his face changed, his
demon coming out to play. With nervous fingers she reached up to carress the hard ridges, marvelling at their hardness beneath her touch. He
closed his eyes, leaning into the touch as he moved within her. When his eyes opened again they were filled with a need she couldnt begin to
comprehend, only halfway understanding what it was that he even wanted. She tilted her head to the side, whispering in a voice so soft she could
barely hear it herself, "Take me, Angel. Make me yours."

The vampire watched through a haze of passion as the sweating beauty beneath him bared her neck to him. He barely heard her whispered words
above his own growls of pleasure. His demon rejoiced as he lowered his mouth to her neck, sinking his fangs into her as he felt himself begin to
climax in her already soaked core, claiming her with his body even as he claimed her with his heart.

"Angel!" Cordelia cried out, the pain of his teeth penetrating her flesh eclipsed by the blinding ecstasy of the claim as her body tumbled into release.
She moaned loudly, arching against him as her body shuddered through its climax, his hands caressing her face gently. She felt a small twinge of
pain as he withdrew his fangs from her neck, licking gently at the twin punctures before rolling off of her.

Angel smiled in satisfaction, pulling the brunette into his arms. "I love you, Delia." He murmured, stroking her back with lazy fingers. He enjoyed the
feel of her warm body in his arms, her heart beating against his chest. His eyes caught sight of the bite marks on her neck. "You didnt have to let
me do that. Do you know what it means?" He felt the need to say it, hoping in his unbeating heart that she knew what it had meant.

"I know I didnt have to, oh Broody One," Cordelia laughed softly. "I *wanted* to. Why wouldn't I want to be claimed by one of the sexiest vampires
in history." She grinned at him. "I know what it means. I'm yours - your chosen mate." She blushed at the look of incredulousness he gave her.
"What?!? So I occaisionally read things during all that research time."

"Somehow I doubt that was in any book you were *supposed* to be reading." The dark haired vampired teased.

The brunette laughed, rolling over to put her leg over him. She felt his cock swell to attention against her stomach. She pulled his lips to hers, her
own body reacting to his. She moaned softly, whispering. "Enough with the talking."
