~Part 11~
 

"Cordelia?  Cordelia!"  Willow called as she and Spike walked in the May Queen's apartment.  They went directly to the kitchen and put their groceries on the counter.  Willow put the two video's she and Spike had rented next to the entertainment center and heard the shower running.  She walked over to the bathroom door and knocked.

"Cordelia, Cordelia"  she repeated with no answer.  She knew that Dennis wouldn't have invaded Cordelia's privacy, but also knew that Dennis would've known if something was really wrong.  The redhead twisted the knob and slowly opened the door.  The mirror looked like it had fogged over and was slowly drying.  Cordelia's outfit was on the vanity, Willow smiled at that, knowing she had the same one in a different color tucked away in her overnight bag.  I never looked quite as good in mine as Delia looks in hers though, Willow thought as she shut the bathroom door behind her.  The redhead repeated the
cheerleader's name softly as she reached the shower.  She knew the cheerleader was probably just sleeping and wouldn't appreciate her best friend seeing her naked, but the redhead had a feeling that the water had gotten cold and could make the brunette sick.

The redhead reached into the front of the shower and felt the water. Sure enough, it was lukewarm.  Willow turned off the shower and dug into the linen closet to her left.  She pulled out a large peach bath towel and went back over to the shower.  She opened the curtain and glanced at the sleeping cheerleader.  She's so beautiful, Willow thought, she looks so sweet when she's sleeping.  The hacker stole the opportunity while the other girl was sleeping to look at the rest of her naked body.  Willow felt herself become aroused looking at the cheerleader's rounded supple breasts, her flat abdomen, the soft
brown curls at her mound and down her tanned legs and stopped at her knees.  The hacker gasped at the sight of the cheerleader's scrapes, all thoughts of arousal had died cold at the thought of the cheerleader hurting, and of course to Willow's mortification, Cordelia woke up when Willow gasped.

"I'm sorry Cordelia, you didn't answer and I thought you were going to drown or get sick or something, um, here's your towel"  Willow finished lamely and handed the cheerleader the towel she had brought.

Cordelia smiled.  She wants me, the cheerleader thought, and they say I can't act.  I did pretty darn good with pretending to be asleep.

"It's ok, Willow.  I just fell asleep.  I pretty much sleep like the dead when I do actually get to sleep.  Pun intended."  Cordelia took the towel and wrapped it around herself and sat down on the closed toilet.

"Do you think you could help me with these before I put on those pants?  The first aid kit is under the sink on the right side."

"Um, sure, I'll just wash my hands."  Willow was glad to have something to do with her hands that didn't require looking directly at Cordelia.  She couldn't believe that her best friend had caught her staring at her naked.  The cheerleader already knew about Tara and didn't mind that, but Willow didn't know how she'd take the thoughts that still kept running through her head about the brunette.  Willow dried her hands off, reached down and pulled out the first aid kit.  She kneeled down in front of Cordelia and glanced at the brunette's feet.  She had painted her toenails a light rose pink, the hacker's gaze moved steadily up the brunettes legs until she stopped at her knees.  Her scrapes weren't really bad, Willow just didn't want to see any kind of mark on her best friend.  Willow knew she wanted Cordelia more than she had wanted any woman before. Willow realized that what she had with Tara didn't have any kind of
passion in it.  In less than two minutes Willow was more aroused by the cheerleader than she had been with Tara for months and she was afraid of what that might mean to their friendship.

"Earth to Willow?  You ok in there?"

"Oh, um, yeah, this might sting a little."  Willow took a deep breath and grabbed the disinfectant and antibiotic cream.  She swiped the disinfectant over Cordelia's scrapes with guaze and the brunette hissed.

"You ok, Delia?"

"Yeah, just hurry up!" The cheerleader squirmed a little in place.

"OK,"  Willow dabbed the brunette's knees with antibiotic cream and placed bandages over them.  On impulse she kissed both of the older girl's knees softly, said, "All better!" and looked up at the amused cheerleader.
 

~Part 12~

It was very hard for Cordelia to sit still while she was in just a towel when the object of her high school crush was kneeling inches in front of her.  The redhead had looked back down at her best friend's knees and was biting her lip in concentration.  Cordelia always thought it was cute, but now she just wanted to capture the younger girl's lips in her own teeth.  Cordelia squirmed a little more trying to ease the ache she felt that started when the hacker had opened the door and said her name softly.  She was surprised the hacker couldn't smell her arousal.  The redhead was still so close to the cheerleader's knees, Cordelia was glad that she was sitting down. Cordelia thought she would explode when Willow's lips touched the sides of her bandages and then when she smiled that sweet Willow smile and said 'all better' she knew that she had to be with the redhead.  Willow had given her an opportunity and she was definitely going to take it.

"Willow,"  Cordelia took the girl's hands placed them on her legs just above her bandages.  Cordelia tilted the redhead's face until she was looking in those green depths that she wanted to lose herself in.

"Willow, can I kiss you? Its ok if you don't want to.  I'll understand."  The shy hacker nodded her head and leaned forward a little.  Cordelia bent towards Willow and brushed her lips against the hacker's.  When Willow didn't seem to be complaining, she moved forward a little more placing Willow's body between her knees and deepened the kiss.  She pulled the hacker's hands further up her lap and then slid her hands into the hacker's red tresses.  With the brunette's arms not holding her towel together, it dropped covering Willow's hands.  Willow moved her hands to uncover them and brushed
against Cordelia's naked breasts.  Cordelia arched into this accidental contact and moaned.  Willow liked the sound her best friend was making and wanted to hear it again so she moved her hands softly over Cordelia's hardened nipples.  Cordelia moaned again. Willow pulled away slightly and both girls caught their breath.

"Wow."  Willow spoke first.

"Wow is right," the cheerleader agreed.  "Can we do it again?"

Cordelia smiled hopefully at the redhead.  Willow grinned and leaned in for another kiss, this time Cordelia stood up, pulled the redhead with her and wrapped her arms around the younger girl.  The brunette pushed her hands underneath Willow's shirt feeling the redhead's warm skin.  Willow stepped back for a moment and removed her shirt and bra.  Cordelia's mouth watered and she pushed Willow against wall softly and filled her mouth with the other girl's left breast, she tugged at the hacker's nipple with her teeth and the brunette used her left hand to knead the redhead's right breast.  Cordelia then repeated the process, tugging at the witch's right nipple lightly with her teeth and kneading her other breast.  Willow gently pulled Cordelia's head up with her hands and resumed their kiss.  Willow's hands began roaming over the brunette's back and down to massage her cheeks.  She pulled Cordelia's hips into her own jean clad hips and wished they could get even closer.  Willow thought she'd never felt anything more erotic than the feel of Cordelia's bare chest against her own.  Cordelia tugged at Willow's jeans and Willow stepped back long enough for Cordelia to remove her jeans and panties.  Once they both were completly naked Cordelia pulled the redhead back into her arms and kissed her again only to be interrupted by a knock at the door.  They jumped apart startled, each swearing under their breath at the person interrupting.

"Willow, luv, you and the cheerleader ok in there?"  Spike asked like he was really concerned.  He smirked up at his sire who had been leaning over his shoulder listening.  They knew almost exactly what was going on in there and thought the girls deserved an audience of two.  Well, ok, three if Dennis decided to watch without the cheerleader's knowledge.  Angel had arrived shortly after the shower had turned off and was trying to convince Spike to give them more time together.  Spike finally convinced Angel to interrupt them when he started painting a very vivid picture of what the girls could be
doing behind that closed door.
 

~Part 13~

"We're fine, Spike.  Cordelia fell asleep and we were catching up on some girl stuff."  Willow yelled through the door.  Willow reluctantly put on her clothes and Cordelia slipped on her night clothes, being very careful of her scraped knees.
 
"All right.  You chits want any snacks before we start the first picture?"

"Willow, did you guys buy any microwave popcorn?" the cheerleader looked at the other girl.

"Yep, bought cheddar flavored and buttery flavored."  the redhead nodded.

"Spike, go ahead and nuke a couple of bags of the buttery flavored popcorn.  Angel should be here any minute with some blood for you both, if you're hungry that is."  the cheerleader managed to sound nice while being bossy all at the same time.  Willow thought it must've taken years of practice.

"Always hungry round you two, luv."  The girls could hear the grin in his voice and smiled at the door in response, "Peaches is already here.  He's in the kitchen, I'll go make sure he hasn't eaten all the ice cream."  Both men grinned and went towards the kitchen.

"Girl stuff?" Cordelia whispered to Willow and giggled.  She reached over and stopped the redhead from opening the door. "Just a few more minutes, ok?"

"Ok."  Willow leaned towards Cordelia and kissed her.  It wasn't the passion filled kisses like they shared earlier, but it was just as intense.  Willow tried to show Cordelia just how much she cared about the older girl and how much she didn't want to lose her all wrapped up in that single action.

"Relax, Willow, no matter how this turns out I'm not going anywhere."

"Me either."  Willow replied as she opened the door to go out into the rest of the apartment.  "I'm gonna go change if that's ok?"

"Yeah, sure, Wills, I'll go make sure the boys didn't pop every single bag you bought!"  Cordelia grinned and walked towards the kitchen.

The foursome decided that they would be more comfortable pulling out Cordelia's sofa-bed and watch movies all piled up on it.  Spike and Angel brought the snacks, while Willow closed all the curtains in case they fell asleep and Cordelia grabbed some pillows for them all.  Spike and Angel had a brief tussle over who got to be King of the Remote, but Dennis made sure Cordelia won.  They finally all settled down to watch the first and third Highlander movies.

Willow had wanted to get the second one too, but Spike shot her down because of the alien stuff.  Willow reminded him about how the director's cut downplayed all the alien stuff and said she liked Christopher Lambert and that Sean Connery stole nearly every scene he was in.  Spike knew there was no way the girls were going to last through three movies and said as such to the pouting redhead.  She reluctantly agreed and they had went about their shopping trip. Willow was now glad that she had given up trying to see the second one too, she was yawning through the Madison Squre Garden scene at
the beginning of the first movie.  Willow scrunched down with her arms around Cordelia in the middle with the guys on the outside, Angel at Cordelia's back and Spike at Willow's.

"They're beautiful, aren't they Peaches?"  Spike spoke softly as he brushed the hair away from Willow's forehead.

"That they are me boy, that they are."  Angel said slipping back into his native brogue repeating a similar action for Cordelia.

"They're good for each other.  We're going to mess this up some how aren't we, Sire?"

"We won't, Cordelia's already said we could all stay here a while," Angel reached over the girls' heads and cupped his childe's face, "It'll give them time to be together and us time to work on the girls letting us join them."  He tenderly kissed his favorite childe.  "Now, get some sleep, William.  Wesley will probably be over early to look at the scroll."
 

~Part 14~

Willow woke up with something cool and hard behind her back.  She'd never slept this close to Spike before.  He wasn't ice cold or anything, he was just cooler than a normal human.  She felt Cordelia snuggle closer into her chest and pushed the hair away from the brunette's face before completely returning to conciousness.  Hmmm, Willow thought, Spike must've undressed before going to sleep, his chest feels nice, and she snuggled back into him pulling Cordelia with her.  She completely woke up and almost jumped when she felt an insistent poking at her behind.  Oh, my gosh, she thought, its Spike, and he's a guy, and its morning and he's... Oh my gosh!   She knew it was natural and would've been happy if she thought it was for her and not just because he's just a guy and it was morning.  She opened her eyes slowly and was thanking her goddess that she was facing Cordelia.  She wondered if Spike was awake.  She leaned over and kissed Cordelia on the forehead and wondered how she was going to get up.  She really needed to go to the bathroom.

Spike walked into the room holding a frying pan and glanced at the bed.  The poof and the cheerleader were all snuggled up into Willow. Spike waited for the surge of jealousy he knew he'd feel at seeing them all together and surprisingly enough the blonde vampire didn't mind.  He rather liked his family together.  Family, he thought, where did that come from?  I know Peaches is my sire, but the girls? I guess so, as long as they don't leave, I'd have to torture them into thinking that was a bad idea, preferably that whole hell in wanting bit.  Spike grinned to himself.  He noticed that Willow was
awake and her heart was beating just a little faster than normal. Wonder what's got the chit worked up, he glanced over at his sire who was curled around Willow and Cordelia protectively.  Angel was awake, but he had a smile on his face and didn't look like he wanted to move any time soon.  I should probably piss on his parade for old time's sake.

"Red, I know you're awake, you chits want bacon or ham for breakfast, I'll get Peaches to cook up some eggs."

Wait, Willow panicked.  Spike talking.  Spike talking to me.  Spike talking to me from across the room.  Spike's not behind me.  That means...  Eeek!  Somehow Willow and Cordelia had changed place during the night and Willow had ended up wrapped up in Angel's embrace. Which meant that she was curled up in Angel's arms.  She squirmed a little in place.

"I'm awake little one, and if you don't stop squirming we're going to have an even bigger problem, pardon the pun."  Angel smirked down at the redhead when he noticed her eyes had gotten even wider after he started speaking.

Angel placed a chaste kiss on Willow's forehead, pulled himself from her embrace and reached for his pants.  He normally slept naked, but for the girls sake of propriety, for now, he reminded himself, he would wear boxers.  He grinned at Spike, knowing that they'd both caused the redhead's current flush and went to the bathroom to wash up.

As Angel and Spike finished the girls' breakfast, Willow and Cordelia crawled out of bed and started getting ready for their day.  Angel put their plates on the table and Spike poured them some juice.  When the vampires finished they heated their own breakfast and sat down at the table sipping from their mugs.

"That was fun, mate.  Wanna try Cordelia tomorrow morning?"  Spike grinned.

"Wanna try Cordelia, what?" the brunette cheerleader mumbled.  She looked remarkably well considering what she had gone through just hours before.

"Oh, Peaches here was just waking Willow up, that's all."  Willow blushed furiously and sat down quickly at the table.

"Um, thanks for breakfast guys.  It looks great!  I should probably call Giles this morning and let him know we're going to stay a while, Spike."  Willow glared at Spike and tried to change the subject.

"Fine, pet.  But don't think you're off the hook."  Spike grinned.
 

~Part 15~

Willow hung up the phone in Cordelia's room.  She had called Giles and let him know they were staying with Cordelia.  Spike came in the room and sat down next to the hacker when he noticed her unhappy expression.

"What is it luv?  The watcher at you to cut me loose?"  He glanced over at Cordelia frowning in the doorway.

"No, he just said that Buffy called and said that she was having a great time.  She and Riley are engaged.  Giles told her that he thought we were here and she said we made our choice and not to bother trying to room with her next year.  She and Riley are going to live together and that Giles would call if she needed witchy help."

"Didn't realize worrying about the cheerleader involved choosing." Spike couldn't help but hate the blonde bint for hurting Willow.  The whole world revolved around her Slayerness and her latest boy toy.

"I really didn't think she'd take it this far."

"Well, its settled then, Willow,"  Cordelia said as she walked through the door, "you both can stay with us for the summer and if you still like it you can transfer to UCLA."

"You sure, Delia?  I don't want to put you out."

"Nonsense, silly!  Of course I want you here.  It'll be nice to have another girl around besides Faith and Kate."  Cordelia sat down on her bed next to Willow and grabbed the redhead's hand.

"Damn D, since when have you been hanging out with Little Miss Perfect Cop?"

"You mean Little Miss I Can't Cope So I Take It Out On Everyone Else Cop.  All she ever does is whine, and look at Wesley and I like we're wearing stripes and plaid together for being around Angel.  You know she wants him!"

"Who wouldn't?  Fang is gorgeous!  She might be a boring little tight ass but she's not blind."

"We talking about Kate or Slutty, slayer?"  Spike smirked as he raised his scarred eyebrow.

"We'll get along just fine, blondie."  Faith grinned over at Spike.

"Ahem, Faith?  Instead of discussing the merits of Angel's appearance, you said something about wanting to spar with, um, Spike, here?  Why don't you two go into the tunnels so you'll have more room?"

"Sure thing, Wes.  You know the only appearance I'm interested in personally is yours."  Faith grinned and kissed Wesley on the cheek as she walked towards the tunnel entrance.

"Yes, well, right.  I'll just be going to work on the scroll in the kitchen."  Wesley couldn't control his blush and thought it best just to leave the room.

"I'll just be heading after the slayer I can stand.  See you two chits in a bit."

"Where's Angel?"  the hacker asked Cordelia.

"Oh, Psycho Cop wanted a statement and she couldn't wait until sunset."

"She knows he's a--"

"Yep," Cordelia cut her off, "and she didn't care, I think it had something to do with him telling her off last nite, but Angel didn't elaborate."

"Surprise, surprise, when has he ever?"  Willow grinned.

"We'll just have to work on him over the summer.  There's no way he'll be able to resist both of us for three whole months!"

"Delia, can I ask you something, and you promise you won't be mad at me?"

"I promise, Willow, you can ask me anything!"  The brunette reached over and put her arm around the redhead.

"I know that this is kinda new between us, and I know that Spike and Angel have a lot between them, um, do you think we could, well, um..." Willow trailed off and blushed violently.

"Willow!!  Are you asking what I think you're asking?!"  Cordelia licked her lips and grinned.

"If it involves the four of us naked, then yep, that's what I'm asking."  Willow smiled back at Cordelia, already knowing her answer by the speculative look on her face.
 

~Part 16~

"Oh, wait," Willow cried, "Angel can't be naked, his soul..."

"Is permanent."  Angel actually grinned.  It was the first full faced grin Willow had seen on the older vampire in the years that she had known him not including his soulless time.

"But, how, when..." Willow spluttered.  Willow blushed even harder this time knowing that Angel had overheard her conversation with Cordelia.

"The Powers that Be told me that when you returned my soul it was anchored permanently, I just never felt the need to risk it until last night with Spike.  I knew that if I lost my soul with him I wouldn't do anything permanent to him." Angel came up behind Willow on the bed and whispered into her ear, "Now did I hear you mention something about nakedness, Little One?"

"Ya know, luv, breathing is generally good for humans.  You wouldn't look the same all blue and naked."  Spike was enjoying his redhead's squirming as he absentmindedly wiped the back of his neck with a towel.

"Thought you were going to go a few rounds with Faith?"  Cordelia asked the bleached vampire.

"Yeah, but she had community service or some such rot.  She just wanted to learn the move I made last night that caught her eye."

"I thought I told her no sparring without my permission."  Angel growled.

"Relax, Peaches, Red here did a spell so I could defend myself against humans.  Well, Faith for certain, anyway.  I'm still bloody chipped, so I can't eviscerate or maim anyone, or anything else fun, but I can friggin' stop them from turnin' me into a soddin' pile of ash!  I'm going to take a shower.  You can bloody start without me!" Spike turned on his heel and stalked towards Cordelia's bathroom.

"I'll go after him,"  Cordelia headed towards the bedroom doorway but stopped when Willow called out.

"Cordelia?"  Willow and Angel both had a surprised look on their faces.

"What?  I've changed remember?  The new and improved gentle Cordelia?  Remember?"  Cordelia said with her hands on her hips.

"Sorry, Delia.  Go on and talk with my wayward childe, maybe you can calm him down.  I didn't mean to press his buttons just yet."

"Right.  You ought to try biting his inner thighs, he likes that, but not too hard though."

"Willow Ann Rosenberg!!  Do I want to know how you know that?  Oh nevermind, you can tell me later, I have bleach boy to attend to." Cordelia grinned and went after Spike closing the door behind her.

"Willlloooowwww.  Ye wanna tell me how ye knew about me childe's interests?  Not from personal experience, I'm guessing?"  Angel slowly pulled Willow back against his chest as he leaned against the headboard.

"Um, no, we were talking about Oz and Drusilla and it just came up." Willow was finding it increasingly hard to think as Angel moved his hands from her waist to her sides to her breasts and back down her front to her upper thighs in a smooth massaging motion undoing her jeans in the process.

"It just came up, eh, Little One?  I'll bet.  And what kind of information did ye give up to William for him to be tellin ye something like that?"  Angel peeled off Willow's shirt and jeans leaving her in her bra and panties.  He leaned her into sitting position and began placing little kisses in a row from her right
shoulder to her neck.  He undid her bra and cupped her breasts in his hands while he focused his attentions on the pulsepoint in her neck. She let out a low moan.

"Willow..." He purred, "what did you tell him?  Was it this?"  He continued to lick and nip her pulsepoint with his hands kneading her breasts.  She moaned again.  "Or maybe this?" He moved his right hand down to cup her mound through her panties and used the tips of his fingers to massage gently.  It wasn't nearly enough pressure for Willow and she wimpered when he stopped.  He shifted to the left and laid her head against the pillows.  Her eyes were closed and her mouth was parted.  She licked her lips in anticipation as he studied her a moment.

"Beautiful, my Little One.  A spirit from the Summerlands ye must be, a wisp from Avalon."  Willow blushed and she didn't know if it was because of his words or his gaze.  He quickly shed his shirt and leaned down kissing her gently, running his tongue over her lips requesting access.  She parted her lips a little more allowing his tongue to duel with hers.  He only broke off the kiss when she needed air.  He then licked and nipped down her body until he reached the
top of her panties.  He looked up to her face for confirmation of her desires and when she nodded he eased her panties off and threw them on the floor with her other clothes.  He smiled and placed small teasing kisses above her curls.  She wimpered his name softly.  He placed several long slow licks up her cleft before sucking her clit into his mouth rolling it around with his tongue.  He then repeated the process until she came  crying out his name and he thought he'd never heard a sweeter sound.  He climbed up her body as she came down from her orgasm and kissed her deeply on the lips.  When he let her come up for air he asked her if she was sure and her reply was to get to her knees, kiss him really hard and undo his pants while she had him distracted.  Before he knew it she had his entire hardened length out of his pants and was stroking him until he thought he would explode just from that.  He sat up and kicked off his pants.  Once free of all restraints he pulled her into his hardness and ran his length along her cleft.  She gasped at the friction his cock caused
against her swollen clit.  He kissed her once more and sheathed himself in her wetness with one stroke.  She moaned out his name as he gave her a few moments to adjust to his size, only his long term experience allowed him the strength not to lose control like an adolescent in her tight heat.  Once she was ready he set a steady rhythm that caused sparks behind their eyes and sent them both into bliss.  Angel thanked his sweet witch, for anchoring his soul and
allowing him access to everything she was, silently.

"I love you, Willow," were the last words she heard from Angel before she drifted off to sleep still entwined in his embrace.
 

~Part 17~

"Spike.  Wait.  Spike."  Cordelia caught Spike before he could slam the bathroom door in her face.  She pushed him into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

"What is it, Del?"  Spike hopped up on the vanity counter swinging his legs back and forth in agitation.

"He didn't mean it in a you're useless kind of way.  It's a control thing.  You know how he has to be the head of our little family.  He viewed Faith's sparring with you as a direct disobedience on her part.  He's your sire, you know how he is."  Cordelia put her hands on his knees stopping his legs from swinging and looked up into his eyes.

"But it doesn't make it any easier to bleedin' swallow."  He said and looked down.

"Hey Mister Bad Ass Vampire, he still cares, you're not a wuss and if you promise not to kill us humans, maybe we'll find a way to de-chip you.  Look on the bright side, you've got a slayer you can spar with, all the demons to kill you can handle, and three people who would love to get in your pants right now."

"Three people, right now?  You've joined the list?"

"Yes, but I changed my mind about the right now part.  Right now's not a good time, you stink.  Take a shower, I'm going to fix us a little lunch.  I'm sure Willow and Angel will keep each other occupied, we can join them later."  The brunette kissed Spike on the cheek and headed to the kitchen.

Spike stepped into the shower after stripping out of his clothes.  He was glad to be out of them, they were getting a little uncomfortable.  On one hand he had wanted to keep the cheerleader there, but on the other hand he did stink.  Spike sighed as the warm water hit his body.  It had been a long time since he'd been in a really good fight.  Maybe Peaches will go a few rounds with me after lunch.  Maybe I could interest him in joining me in another shower
afterwards.

He hardened just thinking about sparring with his sire.  After he'd first been turned his sire had always sparred with him and then shagged him hard if the bleached vampire didn't manage to knock him down at least twice.  His sire always said that if Spike managed to knock him down twice and draw blood, his sire would let him do the shagging.  Of course the great Angelus could never lose so Spike was always the one being buggered.  In fact, Spike didn't think that Angelus had ever been dominated, but he didn't mind terribly either, right of the sire and all and his sire always made sure he got off as well.

Instead of taking care of his problem himself, he turned the hot water off and finished his shower cold.  He'd much rather wait and see if the wanker was up to a challenge.  He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist.  He'd forgotten to bring clothing in with him.  He felt like a nancyboy in the peach bath towel, but his sire had already used up all the more manly dark blue ones.

Spike stopped in the doorway of Cordelia's bedroom.  His sire and Willow were curled up asleep in each other's arms.  They were still naked, and as much as he enjoyed the view, he didn't want to share that sight with anyone but the cheerleader.  He reached down to the foot of her bed and pulled up the blanket over both of them and turned her ceiling fan on.  He knew his sire hated the stifling daylight hours and needed the air circulating, but was afraid Willow might get cold.  He grabbed some clothes, quickly got dressed and closed the door behind him before going towards the kitchen.

Cordelia smiled and handed him a mug of recently heated blood. She turned back around and finished fixing her sandwich.  She pulled out a bottle of juice and poured herself a glass of water.  When she turned back around she noticed the puzzled look on Spike's face.

"Not that I don't appreciate it, luv, but you have blood here?" Spike sat down at the kitchen table, moving a few books and avoiding the direct sunlight from her window.

"Well, duh, Angel is my boss, sometimes he needs to eat over here. He keeps people food at his place, er, well, he did keep people food when he had a place."  She cleaned her mess, walked over to the table and dropped into her chair.  Spike didn't think he'd ever seen a sandwich that big.  It's a wonder she's not large as a house, eatin' all that, he thought.

"Luv, you're really going to eat all that?"  He looked at her increduously.

"What?  I had a rough day yesterday.  I have to keep up my strength. I think I have a right to be hungry.  Are you trying to say I'm getting fat, bony?"  Her eyes narrowed.

"Bloody hell!  You leave my bones out of this!  I was just thinking it was a soddin' large sandwich, that's all."  He took a sip out of his mug, "Thanks for warming this, pet."

"You're welcome."  She said sweetly and gave the vampire a genuine smile before digging into her Dagwood-sized sandwich.  They finished their lunch quickly and decided that Willow could use lunch in bed. Cordelia pulled out chunks of ham and cheese and placed them on the plate.  Spike went to the pantry and pulled out a stack of crackers, and placed a few on the plate.

"Don't forget the apples, Spike.  You know how she loves those.  Her shampoo even smells like apples."  He quickly peeled and chopped up large chunks of apple off the core onto her plate.  He needed to wake Peaches up soon.  All this frustration was starting to annoy him. Cordelia picked up the plate and Spike retrieved a bottle of juice from the refridgerator.  He opened the door and walked steathily to the bedside table placing the juice upon it as quietly as he could.

Cordelia followed suit placing the plate of food next to the juice. She looked down at the sleeping couple with the sweetest smile on her face.  She loved them both dearly and knew Spike did too.  Spike walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist, he leaned his head on her shoulder.  Her shampoo smelled like peaches and vanilla. He didn't see how his sire didn't realize that Cordelia and Willow loved him before now and he was glad that the older vampire used him as a guinea pig for testing his soul's permanence.  As much fun as Angelus was, the last time 'round he was a giant bleedin' prick and I'd have staked him before I let him harm Red or anyone they cared about and my sire bloody well knew it.
 

~Part 18~

"You know you're gonna need a bigger bed, luv,"  Spike whispered in Cordelia's ear.

"I think we'll all fit with a little room over.  I don't plan on sleeping unless we're all curled up together," she whispered back.

"We're awake ya know.  I could smell the food, and Angel's still purring."  Willow smiled with her eyes still closed.

"Well, sire of mine, how 'bout we go a few rounds til Wesley comes back from that occult bookstore. Faith has a couple more hours still before she's done reading to a bunch of little chits at the homeless center and Wesley's note said he'd pick her up when she was done." Spike picked up his sire's pants and shoved them towards his sire. Angel growled at Spike but took them anyway.

Angel unwrapped his arms from Willow and sat up, giving Cordelia and Spike an incredible view.  Spike, having seen it all before, smirked at Cordelia who's mouth was parted and her eyes were slightly glazed.

She snapped out of it and said, "Alright, mister, hurry up and go if you're going to, I have plans for Willow."

Angel grinned at her and slipped on his pants and found the rest of his clothes.  He grabbed Cordelia around the waist, pulled her to him and plundered her mouth while she was still in shock.  When she started to respond, he  reached down and ground her hips into his. Spike cleared his throat, and the couple broke their passionate kiss.

"I'll be back after I run my childe around for a bit.  I'll want to hear full details and maybe even a demonstration or two later, and before you ask, yes I'm still me.  I'm just happy that there's not a chance my soul will disappear again."  Angel put his shirt on, grinned at Cordelia and walked out of the room closing the door behind him with his other arm thrown over Spike's shoulder.

"You had plans for me?  Do I want to know?"  Willow reached up and took Cordelia's hand and pulled her nearer to the bed.  The blanket had fallen into Willow's lap giving her a perfect view of the redhead's naked breasts.  Willow pulled two of the brunette's fingers in her mouth and sucked on them gently.  She let go and said, "or do I get to participate?"

Cordelia moaned and felt herself get even wetter at the redhead's breathy words.

"Participate, you definitely get to participate.  I brought food, Spike even helped chop the apple up."  Willow laid her head on Cordelia's tummy and ran her hands up and down the cheerleader's denim clad legs stopping briefly to squeeze her ass.

"Mmmm.  Sounds good, but that's not what I'm hungry for right now, food later."  Willow leaned back and undid Cordelia's pants and pulled them down her legs slowly taking her panties and socks with them.

"But the apple?"  Cordelia was finding it hard to concentrate with Willow undressing her and caressing her skin as it became visible.

"Will taste the same even if it's a little brown."  Willow smiled and sat Cordelia down next to her.  She shushed her when the cheerleader tried to protest again.

Willow pulled the brunette's blouse off and unclasped the front of Cordelia's bra leaving it hanging loose on either shoulder.  She reached up and pulled the cheerleader's left strap down trailing kisses in its wake.  She bent Cordelia's arm and pulled it off her left side, leaving it dangling from the brunette's right shoulder. Willow paused in her caresses to kiss Cordelia gently on the lips. Cordelia had finally regathered her thoughts and parted her lips taking control of the kiss Willow had initiated.  The seer pulled off her bra completely and added it to the pile of clothes on the floor. Willow allowed Cordelia to have control only briefly however, before she pushed the brunette back on the bed.  Willow leaned down and kissed the cheerleader once more before moving down to suck one nipple into her mouth playing with it with her tongue and kneading the brunette's other breast with her hand.  She repeated the process with the older girl's other nipple eliciting a moan from the brunette seer.

Cordelia tensed as the redhead trailed kisses down the seer's flat stomach to her nest of curls.  Cordelia gasped and bucked when she felt Willow suck her clit into her mouth.  She'd never had anyone use their mouth lower than her chest before and didn't quite know how to react.

"Relax Delia, you know I'm not going to hurt you.  I promise you'll like this."  Willow looked up into the brunette's eyes seeing the uncertainty she had there, and said, "I can stop, we don't have to go any further."

"No, its okay Wills, I'm just a little nervous."  She smiled at the hacker reassuringly.

"Ok, it works better if you try to relax."  Willow grinned and started licking the cheerleader with long strokes like she was eating an ice cream cone.  Cordelia started to wriggle under Willow ministrations and Willow put her hand on Cordelia's tummy to try to keep her still.  She looked up at Cordelia's face without pausing and thought she must be an angel.  Her eyes were closed and her head was thrown back and her lips were parted.  Willow leaned back a little
and put one finger into Cordelia's wetness and the brunette gasped at the intrusion.  Willow knew that no matter what her reputation had been, Cordelia hadn't had many lovers, all of them after high school.  The last one was months ago, she was so tight.  Willow started pumping in and out adding one more finger and then another, stretching her out slowly.  She kept up a slow and steady pace, not wanting to end Cordelia's experience too soon.  When the cheerleader started whimpering, tossing her head from side to side clutching the sheets in her hands and clamping down on Willow's fingers tightly,
Willow knew it was time to give the older girl release.  She leaned down and kissed Cordelia's tummy gently and pulled her head back brushing her hair against the spot she'd kissed.  She leaned further down and pulled the brunette's swollen clit into her mouth and sucked as hard as she could.  Cordelia bucked hard in release, nearly throwing Willow back but the hacker held on and milked out the older girls orgasm the best she could.  The hacker removed her fingers and lapped at the brunette's juices gently as the other girl came down. Willow pulled herself up and placed her head on Cordelia's tummy,
wrapping her arms around the brunette's legs.  Cordelia was exhausted from the explosive orgasm that Willow had given her.  She knew that she'd had a crush on Willow in high school, but she never thought that sex could be that good for her with a woman, but Willow was definitely redefining her thoughts.  She absently stroked Willow's hair as the hacker fell asleep for the second time that day.  This would normally worry Cordelia, but since neither of them slept much the night before she let it go as she drifted off herself.
 

~Part 19~

"Well, Peaches, you ready to get your arse kicked?"  Spike grinned at his sire as he took up a defensive position on the mats he and the slayer had laid out in the tunnels earlier.

"Spike, you know you've never been able to kick my ass.  Why would you get to now?"  Angel grinned at his childe happy that he was once again sparring with him for fun rather than as enemies.

"Because I'm your favorite childe and you're getting soft."  He smirked while bouncing on either foot in anticipation.

"Right, Spike, come on then, let's go, same rules as always,"  Angel couldn't resist doing that Bruce Lee come and get me move.

The next thirty minutes were spent in a blur.  Angel was a little more worn out from his fight with Vocah and later activities with Willow than he'd admit to Spike.  Spike had managed to get under his guard and score an uppercut to his jaw causing his mouth to bleed a little.

His childe had also been able to throw him to the mats once already. Angel was debating on letting him win the fight as they sized each other up for what they knew was going to be the last round.  The older vampire suddenly realized that he couldn't just let Spike win because his childe was clever and would figure it out soon enough, making things worse between them.  Angel decided on a compromise. Spike got impatient, as he always did and rushed his sire eager to win the bout.  Angel caught him up and flipped him onto his back straddling the younger vampire with his knees.

"You lose again, me boy,"  with that said Angel kissed his childe hard on the lips drawing a bit of blood of his own.  He started sucking on the wounds gently, teasing the blood out of his childe.

Spike thought he'd died again when Angel pinned him to the floor and drew blood from their kiss.  He was so hard he just knew that Angel could feel it from the position they were in.  He just hoped that Angel would be gentler than Angelus was during his wheelchaired state because rules were rules even if he was souled.

Angel pulled his mouth from his childe's and reached down and undid the bleached vampire's pants.  Spike tensed a little at this while Angel pretended not to notice.  Angel was surprised and pleased that Spike didn't bother to wear underwear again and pulled the younger vampire's pants to his ankles.  Spike just knew the wanker was going to take him like a girl and he didn't know if could handle that again.  He tried to relax though, knowing that if he didn't Angel had the right to make things worse.  Angel spread his childe's legs out following the usual pattern that Angelus had took both before and after having his soul, but then deviated by taking Spike's hardened cock into his mouth in one swoop without preamble.  Spike was so surprised he almost shot himself off immediately, but retained enough control not to disrespect his sire like that.  Angel licked and sucked the blonde vampire's cock and kneaded his balls until it was almost painful for Spike not to cum, but Angel hadn't realized that he hadn't given permission.  He looked up into Spike's golden eyes with his own and realized his mistake, he nodded and purred his approval around Spike's thick cock.  Spike came with a lurch and met Angel's purrs with his own.  Angel put his childe's clothing back together and picked up his sweet boy in his strong arms and carried him back up to the apartment.  Chocolate eyes met confusion and vulnerability in his childe's ice blue eyes.  He pulled his childe's head to his chest and rumbled soothingly until he felt Spike relax once more.
 

~Part 20~

He removed his sleeping childe's clothing and placed him into the shower.  He removed his own clothing and gave them both a quick wash before wrapping them both in towels and going towards Cordelia's room.

He smiled at the sight of the witch and seer with their naked bodies pressed together in slumber.  He placed Spike gently down on Cordelia's bed next to Willow who was laying to Cordelia's right smiling when Spike uncurled enough to spoon behind the hacker.  He turned and shut the door just in case Wesley came back before they were dressed.

He didn't care if Wesley knew they were all together, but he knew the watcher would turn ten shades of purple if he had to witness it.  He sat down on the edge of the bed pushing a bit of Cordelia's hair out of her eyes, kissing her gently on the forehead before spooning in behind her.  She instinctively snuggled into him as she slept.  Angel closed his eyes and couldn't believe his good fortune after all the evil he had done.

Angel woke up to something tickling his abs.  He couldn't tell what it was, but he knew it wasn't threatening.  He opened one eye and saw Cordelia grinning above him.  She had been using her hair to tickle him.  He reached up to cup her face and bring her closer to him, which she didn't resist in the least.  He kissed her soundly and let his hands trail down her back.  She shivered with the sensation, he pulled her over to where she was straddling him.  Her curls were brushing against his manhood that had been at attention even before he'd come back to conciousness.  She was already wet from the attention Willow had given her earlier and Angel didn't know if he could hold out very long without sheathing himself in her warmth. She however had other ideas and positioned him at her entrance and dropped her weight onto him, taking him all in one stroke.  She gasped at the sudden pain of his size and held still while it passed and she grew accustomed to him.  She began rocking herself on him in a smooth steady motion.  After a few minutes of this Angel flipped them over and began to thrust into Cordelia.  He kissed her again only stopping when she had to breathe and finally noticed his childe had Willow in a similar position.  He grinned and continued pumping into Cordelia until she clamped down hard on him, his fangs elongated and he marked her sending them both into release and he collapsed next to her gently lapping at her puncture wounds.

"I've been waiting a long time for that, but I didn't expect you to bite me, I didn't mind in the heat of the moment but don't get any ideas."  Cordelia smiled at Angel.

"I've been waiting a long time too, and I don't have to bite you ever again if you don't want me to.  I marked you so that all other vampires would know that you're under my protection.  Looks like they're not waiting any more either."  Angel smiled and glanced at his childe's erratic thrusting.  He knew Spike was close and was surprised to see Willow's hand snake around Spike's ass and rub against his hidden opening.  He thrust into her harder when she found
it.  She wiggled her first two fingers in and he thrust into her as deep as he could and moved his hips into a circular pattern hitting his pelvic bone against her clit until they both screamed out in pleasure.  Spike marked Willow as well, but his was a more gentle bite.

"Wow."  Willow panted.

"Bloody marvelous.  Enjoy the show?"  Spike glanced over at the two brunettes watching them.  Willow blushed prettily but she was smiling at all three of them.

"You always were a show off, William."  Angel ribbed the bleached vampire good naturedly.

"I'm always a good show, right luv?"  Spike said as he wrapped his arms around Willow and lapping at the few remaining droplets.

"No complaints here."  Willow smiled.

"Angel?  Cordelia?  Willow?  Spike?"  the watcher's voice could be heard from behind the door.
 

~Part 21~

"Angel?  Cordelia?  Willow?  Spike?"  the watcher's voice could be heard from behind the door.

"Ugh, couldn't he have better timing?"  Cordelia complained holding onto Angel tighter preventing him from getting up.

"Well, at least he didn't show up any earlier, Delia."  Willow smiled, always looking at the bright side.

"We'll be out in a minute Wes."  Cordelia called knowing that Dennis wouldn't allow access to her bedroom if she didn't want it.  The foursome reluctantly got dressed and even nibbled on the forgotten plate of food, Willow and Cordelia sharing the juice, before they opened the door and went out into the kitchen.

"What took you so long.  Good heavens, you girls are bleeding! You're Angelus aren't you?"  He reached into his pocket but suddenly found himself frozen.  Willow's eyes were blazing a bright sparkly green.  Wesley suddenly realized that maybe the vampires shouldn't be the most feared in the room, that maybe the witch should have that title.

"Wesley.  If you promise to calm down and will use that thick head of yours, you'll remember that Angel's soul is permanent.  You'll also remember that Spike can not harm a living thing.  These marks are a sign of protection, not harm.  Can I release you now? I'm going to release your eyes, go ahead and blink once for yes and twice for no,"  Willow spoke calmly and rationally to the watcher, not wavering an instant.  He blinked once and she let him go.

"You really didn't need to put me under a spell."  he grumbled.

"Were you or were you not going to shove a cross in Angel's face, Wesley.  I thought you knew better than that after all this time." Cordelia's eyes narrowed as she advanced on the watcher, but she was stopped by Angel.

"It's ok, Delia, he was only trying to help you girls." Angel was ever the calming presence between his two employees, "but you won't ever try it again, right Wesley?"  the vampire stood close to Wesley as the younger man spluttered and mentioned something about research before practically bolting for the kitchen.

"Anyone else not want to do that again?"  Cordelia asked, leaning back into Angel's chest.

"Nope, you guys mind if get a soda and go practice a few spells in the guest room by myself for a bit?" the redhead asked as they all walked into the kitchen.  Wesley didn't even glance up from the musty tome he was pouring over.

"Go ahead, Willow, you don't have to ask our permission.  Su casa es mi casa, and stuff.  But if you start turning blue we're coming in after you!"  Cordelia gave Willow one of her show-stopping smiles. Willow didn't have the heart to correct her Spanish phrase and grabbed a soda on her way to the guest room, pausing to kiss the vampires and cheerleader on the cheek.

"I'm a bit hungry again, luv.  Peaches and I will have to restock later tonight," Spike noticed the time on the microwave, "Oh man, Passions is on!  I almost soddin' missed it!"  Spike rushed out of the kitchen into the living room, his blood forgotten, leaving Wesley, Cordelia and Angel in the kitchen alone.

Cordelia busied herself fixing Wesley and Angel lunch.  Wesley was surprised at Cordelia's thoughtfulness, but Angel, having seen the plate for Willow, and other changes in the cheerleader, wasn't surprised at all.

Spike waited until a commercial was finally on the telly and started back towards the kitchen.  He paused before turning the corner when he heard Wesley say, 'you become human,' followed by Cordelia saying, 'wow, Angel human,' and felt his undead heart constrict.

His sire was going to become human, the thought burned in Spike's chest, causing him to breathe in and out uncontrollably.  He'll abandon me again.  He bloody well left me with Dru over eighty years ago not letting me know what happened when he got his friggin' soul. I had to take care of 'er alone.  Didn't know if he was a pile of dust somewhere or rotting in a basement.  I'm not going to soddin' let him leave me again now that he's gonna be human.  I'll do this my way.  The girls will be fine, won't even have to think about vampires and other creepy crawlies anymore.  I'll just fade from their memories like a bad dream.  The bleached vampire went back to the living room and got a piece of paper and scribbled a quick note.  He picked up his duster, cigarettes and lighter and headed towards the tunnel access to the underground garage.

Willow came out of her trance abruptly.  She looked around to see what had shocked her back to reality but didn't see anything out of place.  She stood up slowly, her muscles tense and her joints popping from sitting in one place for a long time.  She walked into the living room and saw the television still showing Passions but Spike was nowhere in sight.  His cigarettes, lighter and more importantly his duster that had been draped over the back of the chair since they
arrived was gone as well.  She saw a piece of paper blowing over onto the floor from the coffee table and picked it up.  The color drained out of her face as she read the rapidly scribbled words.

Willow ran to the kitchen mumbling ninety miles a minute.  Tears were starting to streak down her face as Cordelia and Angel both tied in the race to comfort her.  They wrapped their arms around her, Cordelia kissing her face gently and Angel wiping her tears.

"Willow, what happened?"  Cordelia prodded gently.

"Little One, please tell us?  Where is William?"  Angel couldn't imagine Willow crying like this and Spike not knowing immediately and comforting her.

"Here," was the only word she got out before she burst into tears as she shoved the note into Angel's hand.

Angel having almost dropped the note, read over it quickly.

'Angelus human.  I'm leaving first this time.  Its been fun, but I'm heading out.  So long, William.'

"Fuck.  William's gone.  He's probably went to his land near Toronto.  He'll be back though.  He's me childe and he's bonded to ye, Willow, and Cordelia through me.  He canna leave us."  Angel whispered, trying to comfort the girls as well as himself the best he could.
 

sequal to come!
