HARD BARGAIN (1/?)
 

Willow strained against the ropes that kept her tied to the chair. She
whimpered slightly when she felt them tearing against her wrists. She
stared into the darkness that her blindfold caused. Remembering the
events of the evening, she couldn't believe how horrible it had all
gone.
 

They had been going to surprise Angelus, defeat him once and for all. It
had all been a trap. They'd been surrounded as soon as they had entered
the old warehouse. He had strutted to them, a grin on his handsome face.
She remembered seeing Buffy go down and then things went black When she
had come to, she had been blindfolded and tied up. She heard her friends
calling for help or just making noises so she knew they were all right.
 

Angelus smiled as he took in the sight of his captives. This was going
to be such fun. He wondered which one would agree to his bargain. His
eyes rested on the redhead. Willow would be the one. That was what he
was counting on. She was the one he wanted. The others could die now and
he wouldn't care a twig. He would settle for any of them, knowing the
torture would be delightful. But she was the one he was counting on.
 

"Well, kiddies. Sorry about the accomodations but I wasn't expecting
guests."
 

"You bastard. Let them go. Your fight is with me."
 

"Ah, the sacrifices a slayer will make. Sorry, Buffy. Not this time. You
see, I've been thinking. Not much else to do during the day. I know I
can kill you. Hell, I'd say this situation proves that. But, what's the
fun in it? So, I got this nice little idea...."
 

"What?" Xander demanded. He tried to keep the fear from his voice
unsuccessfully.
 

"I'll make you a trade."
 

"What?" Several voices rang out, the foremost being the watcher's.
 

"I'm bored. Torturing Spike got old after a day. The lousy bastard never
screams. Dru is a loony bitch. Always has been, always will be. No,
kids. I need someone new."
 

"What are you asking?" Buffy demanded.
 

"One of you remains here with me. Agrees to become my slave, if you
will. I allow the others to leave unharmed. If the slave is good enough,
I agree not to oppose your tired little slaying rituals anymore."
 

"Fine. I'll do it" Buffy said, fear causing her voice to tremble.
 

"Tsk tsk....I hear fear. No, you see lover, I want someone willing. Fear
holds no place in what I have planned. Well, it does but not this kind
of fear. I will be able to tell who is really willing to sacrifice
themselves for your pathetic lives."
 

"The person....will they be allowed to leave after a specified amount of
time?" Giles asked.
 

Angelus smiled, "Of course. A month in exchange for the rest of the
little gang's lives. After a month, I will allow them to leave. Well,
what's left of them that is....I tend to get rather carried away with my
toys."
 

Willow knew that Buffy and Giles couldn't agree to such terms. Sunnydale
would not survive right now without them. Xander was a puss and Cordelia
would be scared witless. She had wanted to do something that would help
them out. She had been studying magic thinking that was her place. Maybe
this was fate calling to her.
 

"What would it entail exactly?" she asked, her voice strong and not
frightened.
 

Angelus's smile grew. "Anything I want. The person will be mine
completely for a month. No objections. No thoughts of their own. No
decisions unless they come from me."
 

Willow tried to ignore the seductive way he made the offer sound. She
knew what it would be. She had read the diaries about Angelus. Knew what
he was capable of. There was silence and she could almost hear the fear
of the others. Strangely, she wasn't frightened. More intrigued than
anything. She knew she most likely wouldn't survive the month. But, her
friends would live. Their lives were more important than hers. They
could do so much more than she could. This was her destiny, to save
them. She took a deep breath letting it out slowly.
 

She opened her mouth, the words coming out softly, "Let them go now.
I'll stay."

HARD BARGAIN (2/?)
 

Angelus smiled triumphantly as he heard the others start to shout at
Willow.
 

"Enough" he roared, causing silence. "Willow has so selflessly
volunteered. I accept her offer. Elka, Dagney. Take her to my rooms."
 

The two women moved forward, eager to be in their master's good graces.
He watched them fondly. They were two of his best minions, always doing
what they were told. Faithful to him. He had been smart this time
around. He had chosen only women for his inner circle. They were
completely loyal and had no desire to become master. They lived on the
second floor of his mansion, one floor below him and his children. They
unchained Willow and pushed her out of the room.
 

"No. Willow. You can't do this" Buffy said.
 

"Buffy. Hush. This is my chance to do something for you. For all of you.
I'll be fine. See you in a month" She said, determination in her voice.
 

Angelus smiled as the door shut behind them. Turning to the others, he
began.
 

"Here's the deal, slayer. I get Red for a month. In that time, you don't
come after me or mine. The minions are on their own. Hell, you're the
slayer. You can have them. Spike and Drusilla have been told the plan
and have agreed to remain out of your way while I play with my toy. You
will not fight either of my children or the deal is off. You have
nothing to worry about with them. My inner circle also know of the pact.
They will not cause any problems for you during the time ahead. Again,
harm them, the deal is off. I protect my own."
 

"You bastard" Giles said quietly. He couldn't believe Willow had given
herself to the vampire. She had had no fear in her voice. That amazed
him even more.
 

"I may be, but I have Red. Remember, she's mine for a month. No
ridiculous rescue attempts please. I can't keep my side of the bargain
and not kill you if you invade my home. Don't worry. She'll come back to
you.....eventually."
 

He heard the gasps and fear as they realized that it had truly been
done. He had Willow. He turned to leave before smiling. "One month,
lover. I am so glad that it was Willow who was so brave. I can't wait to
taste her.....fire." He taunted.
 

He started to laugh wickedly as he left the warehouse. He called one of
his minions over. "Stasia, give me an hour. At that time, release them.
Spike, Dru and I will be back in a month. I am trusting you all to keep
things in place for me."
 

"Yes Master" she said, bowing her head. Her eyes fell to the tight
leather that fit his body like a glove. She loved her master's leather
fetish.
 

"If you need anything, Kylia knows how to get in touch with us. Be
careful of the slayer. She is going to want revenge for this one" He
smiled wickedly.
 

"Always careful master. You can trust us."
 

"I know" Angelus responded, swatting her leather clad ass. "Now, go.
Remember, the harsher the words, the worse it affects them."
 

She smiled evily, "Yes Angelus."
 

She watched him walk away, her eyes never leaving his form until he
walked out the doors. She went in to the prisoner's. Laughing she said,
"Angelus is already making that tight redhead scream. She's going to
love his huge cock, my pretties. Bet she won't want to leave him at the
end of the month....if she lasts that long."
 

"You bitch. Let us go."
 

Stasia just laughed and continued to describe everything that Angelus
would do to the girl. She looked to the door and smiled as Elka, Kylia,
Dagney and Ann came in. They had wicked gleams in their eyes as they
took in the chained up prisoners. Dagney went to Giles, her eyes roaming
his form. She smiled slightly. Stasia just laughed. She knew the other
girls were getting things ready for their master and his children. They
could keep an eye on things. They had an hour. Plenty of time for play.

HARD BARGAIN (3/?)
 

Angelus smiled as he pushed the blindfolded girl into the room. He saw
Spike and Drusilla sitting, watching and waiting. Dru was seated on the
bed, her eyes lit with amusement. Spike was seated in a chair, his
leather duster on the floor beside him. He too had merriment in his
eyes.
 

Willow stumbled, cursing. She ripped the blindfold from her eyes,
glaring at Dru and Spike. Turning to Angelus, she said, "You bastard."
 

He started to laugh. "Why, I'm hurt. You didn't like it?"
 

She glared at him, her eyes on fire, "What if I hadn't agreed? I almost
didn't you know."
 

Angelus smiled, "I told you I'd find a way to get together without the
slayer messing it up. We have a month, lover. An entire slayer-free
month."
 

Willow shook her head, "That was risky. Too risky. So much could have
gone wrong."
 

"It didn't Red" Spike said lazily. "We got you away for a bit. Besides,
now when we return, the slayer can't say a damn thing about it cause she
thinks you did it to save her ass."
 

"Do you not want to be with us?" Dru asked.
 

Willow sighed, "Dru, pet. It's not that. You know I love you all." She
glared at Angelus, "You should have let me in on it."
 

"You'd have told me no" he said silkily as he moved forward, capturing
her in his embrace. "I do so hate when you tell me no."
 

Willow rolled her eyes, melting against him, "When do I ever tell you
no?"
 

"Good point" he said before claiming her mouth. Spike stood and moved
behind her, his lips against her neck. He began to unfasten her shirt as
Dru kneeled beside them. He felt his zipper being lowered then a cold
mouth engulfed his cock. He moaned as his hands found Willow's breasts.

*****
HARD BARGAIN (4/4)
 

Willow woke up and smiled. She glanced at the bed and snuggled closer.
Dru was laying with her head on Willow's stomach. Spike's arm was around
her waist, his hand wrapped in Dru's hair. Angelus was against her side,
his cock limp against her leg. Her lovers.
 

She had been sleeping with Angelus since the night he had changed. He
had tried to kill her that night. Afterwards, he had snuck into her room
and woke her up with a deep kiss. The affair had escalated. Every night
she spent in his bed. Soon, Spike and Dru had joined them.
 

It was something she really couldn't explain to her friends. They would
never understand her love for the three vampires. She would say that
since they had begun their relationship, all three had been on their
best behaviour around Sunnydale. Not many unexplained deaths.
 

She felt a tongue tickle her clit and glanced down into Dru's laughing
eyes. The vampire reached out and licked, causing a shudder to spread
through Willow. Spike woke slowly, his blue eyes taking in the scene.
With a smile, his fingers entered Willow as his mouth sucked on her hard
nipple. She whimpered and moved against his hand.
 

Angelus heard the whimper and smiled. His cock sprang to life as he
watched his children pleasure his love. He saw Willow look at him, her
eyes filled with lust. He kissed her, capturing her moan. Dru moved out
of the way, joining Spike on the side of Willow. Angelus positioned
himself between Willow's legs and entered her deeply. Her legs went
around his waist as he began to thrust into her. He watched as Spike's
cock soon entered Willow's mouth. Dru lathered the girl's breasts with
kisses and bites as her own hand delved deep inside herself. Angelus
leaned over and added his fingers to his childe's wet sopping pussy.
Soon, Dru was clenching his hand tightly and mewing her own release.
 

Spike came sending his seed deep into his lover's throat. He leaned
down, licking at the stray drops. He heard Angelus groan and Willow
arched up, screaming as she came again. Looking at his sire, he smiled.
"What a way to wake up."
 

"Definitely" Willow said, smiling a satisfied smile.
 

"A month, my loves." Angelus said. "An entire month...."
