"The mayor is dead." Giles said softly.

"What? How?"

"A dagger through the stomach. They uh, found bite marks on his neck."

"Willow?" Jenny asked.

"I'd wager a guess. I doubt anyone else would have know how to kill him."

"At least that is something we don't have to worry about" Jenny remarked.

"True. Where is Cordelia?"

"I don't know. She's been acting strange the last week or so. She won't tell me what the problem is. I think it has to do with Xander and his confession."

"Poor girl. I can't fault Xander for making his choice, however stupid it is. I do feel sorry for her though."

"I can't believe he'd choose a vampire as a lover. What is it with this town?"

"I don't know." Giles said softly. "Faith should be back soon. I'll let the others know that the mayor is taken care of."

"There are so few of them left" Jenny remarked.

"Down to five, besides Faith and the originals."

"We don't have Xander anymore." Jenny reminded him. "He is with Willow."

"Yes, well. She is on the same side as we, in a lot of ways. He is still fighting evil."

"Want to grab some chinese food?"

"I'd love some" Giles said as he left the library, turning off the lights.

**********

Willow gripped the glass tightly, shattering it. She sat back in her chair, ignoring the looks from around the table. Most everyone had left. All that was still there were Spike, Cordelia, Xander and Glenn. Angelus was still under the table, his tongue buried deep inside her.

Spike leaned over and took her hand, his tongue lapping at the drops of blood that the glass had caused. Cordelia squirmed in her chair as Willow came again. She reached her hand down between her legs to alleviate the itch. Willow's eyes opened and stared at her. "Delia, if you touch yourself, I'll beat you until you bleed."

Cordelia flushed and moved her hand. She tried to ignore Xander's knowing snicker.

"So, you and Wills. How did that happen?"

"I'm not talking to you about this" Cordelia said snottily.

"I fucked her on that cute little car of hers. Guess she liked it" Willow said, smiling impishly.

Xander stood yawning, "Come on dead boy" he said to Glenn. "See you tomorrow Cordy. If you make it to class."

Cordelia rolled her eyes but offered him a half smile. She was in no position to alienate anyone. She continued to watch Willow. Spike had moved his mouth to hers.

Willow felt Spike pull her up. He turned her to sit on the table, shoving the plate away. He unzipped his pants and slid inside her, his mouth biting into her neck roughly. She cried out and began to move against him. She soon found her release, milking his seed from his body.

Shakily, she stood. She looked at Cordelia's flushed face and smiled. She could smell the girl's arousal. "Delia, go upstairs. Undress, lay on the bed, and wait for me. Don't touch yourself. If you do, I get to punish you."

"Which room?"

"Farthest one on the left. Blue sheets."

Cordelia nodded and almost ran up the stairs. She was so hot. After hearing Willow's whimpers all through dinner. Then seeing Spike take the redhead on the table. It was too much for her. She needed to cum so badly.

Willow looked at Angelus and smiled. "Go downstairs and chain yourself in. You've been a good puppy. I'll reward you tomorrow." She caught his lips in a bruising kiss, her mouth claiming his. He groaned when she ran her hands over his hard cock.

"Yes mistress" he said, a sparkle in his eyes as he headed downstairs.

"You've got your hands full don't you, luv?"

Willow laughed, "Don't worry. You're the only one in my heart. I just like to play with them."

"You're mine" Spike said, grabbing her roughly. "I'll let you play as long as I know about it. When I say it stops, it stops."

"Understood" she said, her eyes shining with lust.

Spike swatted her ass, "Better get upstairs. Don't want the girl to die from frustration."

Willow laughed as she walked slowly upstairs. She loved Spike so much.

**********

Cordelia Chase lay on the bed, the silk sheets caressing her skin. She had pushed the heavy blanket to the floor, eager to feel the silk. She glanced at the clock. She had been waiting a half an hour. Instead of dousing the flame that was burning inside her, it had made it burn brighter. She looked again at the door. Where was Willow?

Cordelia closed her eyes and asked herself the same question that had plagued her mind for days. Why had Willow affected her so much? So many thoughts and feelings were running through her mind. She had dated before, even loved. What was it about the redhead that was different? Well, besides her being dead. Maybe it was the novelty of her being a woman. Cordelia had never considered herself gay, though she had been attracted to women before. In fact, one of the reasons that she had always been so cruel to Willow was that tinge of desire. It was better to fight it by being cruel tham to give into it. Or, at least, that's what she had thought.

"Delia...." the soft words were spoken from the doorway.

Cordelia opened her eyes and smiled softly as Willow's eyes roamed over her.

"Good girl. You obey so well." Willow said, watching Cordelia as she walked into the room. She shut the door, fastening the latch. She didn't need Spike interrupting her night. Not that he would be a bad distraction. Quite the contrary. She just needed to concentrate on Cordelia. She had this strong desire to make the girl beg. She rather liked the idea of having a human consort, as long as Spike approved. She didn't want anything to jeopardize their relationship. Anything.

Willow moved to the side of the bed. She sniffed the air. Delia's arousal permeated the air. She smiled wickedly. The cheerleader was aching for her. It was a powerful feeling. Quite like her playing with Angel. She frowned slightly. Angel was gone. Angelus was here. She had a feeling that she would miss her Angel. Of course, mastering Angelus would have its perks. Angel accepted things so easily that the fun had left the game. Now, she would have two people to play with. Willow ran her small, cold hands along Delia's arms, pushing them over her head.

She put the girl's hands around the headboard. "If you move your hands, I'll have all the minions fuck you, while Xander watches. Got it?"

Cordelia gulped and nodded. "Yes. I won't move."

"Good girl." Willow leaned over and ran her tongue along the girl's cheek. "TIme to play."

**********

Willow moved her mouth over Cordelia's face, capturing the girl's quivering mouth with hers. She ran her tongue over Cordelia's tongue until it entered her mouth. The women kissed for several moments. Cordelia felt liked she couldn't breathe. Finally, Willow pulled away. She ran her tongue over Cordelia's lips, wettening them. She bit them drawing blood. She saw Cordelia watching her and smiled as she licked at the blood. She moved her mouth down Cordelia's neck, sucking the flesh between her teeth. She pulled back, surveying her work.

Cordelia had a nice sized love bite on her tanned flesh. Willow had placed it in a position so that the girl would have to wear a turtle neck if she wanted to conceal it. Willow smiled. She would a real bite on the other side before the night was over. Let Cordelia explain both of those to the watcher and the others. Willow continued downward, licking and placing small bites along the flesh. She saw Cordelia's arms tighten as her mouth found the girl's voluptuous breasts. She ran her tongue over the hard nipple, once. She waited, her mouth above the breast. Her green eyes flashed mischieviously at Cordelia.

Cordelia arched up, trying to thrust her breast into Willow's waiting mouth. Willow easily moved, avoiding it. The smile grew wicked. Cordelia whimpered. "Please."

"Please what?" Willow asked innocently.

"Please make love to me" Cordelia begged.

Willow kneaded Cordelia's breast tightly, "Not love. I'll fuck you gladly. Just remember, I won't do anything unless you ask."

"Fuck me then. Please." Cordelia hated the whine in her voice. What was Willow doing to her?

Willow's mouth captured Cordelia's breast, her teeth scraping the hard nipple. She lathered it with her mouth before moving on to the next one. She twisted the wet nipple harshly between her thumb and finger, causing Cordelia to gasp in pleasure. She smiled knowingly against the warm flesh. Seemed that little miss enjoyed her games. She moved her mouth downward, finally reaching the wet center between the brunette's thighs.

She sat up, her eyes moving again to Cordelia's passion glazed eyes. She smiled and got off the bed. She saw Cordelia watching her curiously. Willow removed something from the top drawer of the bureau. She turned back and moved to the bed, concealing what she had removed. "Close your eyes."

Cordelia obeyed without a moment's pause. She waited, wetness pooling between her legs. She was aching with unspent desire. She felt Willow's tongue on her swollen nub and arched up. She heard breathless moaning and realized that it was her that was making the sounds.

Willow lapped up the sweetness that spilled from the girl's slit. She brought her toy up to Cordelia's center and smiled. She bit down on her clit while thrusting the vibrator deep inside Cordelia. Cordelia screamed at the sensations that spread through her. Willow turn the vibrator on and began to move it inside the girl. She smelled blood and glanced down.

Amazed, she saw the substance coating the tip of the white object in her hand. She removed the buzzing toy, placing it against Cordelia's clit. Cordelia was whimpering and moaning. Willow thrust her tongue into the girl, enjoying the virginal blood that coated her tongue. She couldn't believe that she, Willow Rosenburg, had just snatched away Cordelia Chase's virginity, a prize that many a Sunnydale football player claimed. This changed things. Had she been a male, Cordelia would be bonded to her. She had already claimed the girl as hers, but this went deeper than that. She'd have to talk to Spike. For now, she had a girl to attend to.

Willow continued moving the buzzing object over Cordelia's clit. The cheerleader's legs tightened around her head as she ground herself against Willow's face.Willow switched positions with the vibrator. She thrust it again into the tightness of Cordelia's passage. She began to move it back and forth, in circular motions. She ran her tongue over Cordelia's clit quickly. She felt more wetness coming from the girl. She bit Cordelia's thigh deeply as she came loudly. Willow sat up, blood dripping from her chin. She left the vibrator inside the shaking girl. She met Cordelia's mouth, allowing the girl to taste herself and her blood.

Willow was aching for her own release. The virgin blood had acted like a stimulant, causing more desire to flood her. She stood up, stripping her clothes. She couldn't wait for Spike and had no inclination to find Angelus. She needed to cum, now. She saw Cordelia moving against the bed, trying to keep the buzzing object deep inside her. She also the dark eyes following her every movement. Cordelia's eyes got even more aroused as Willow's pale body was brought into view.

Willow ran her hands down her body, lightly touching her smallish breasts. She saw the hard nipples and twisted them slightly. She moved down lower, feeling the wetness between her legs. She was startled to hear Cordelia.

"Please....let me." Cordelia begged. She wanted so badly to taste the redhead. She watched as Willow looked at her curiously. Why was it such a surprise to her that she wanted to fuck her?

Willow moved forward and kissed Cordelia again. "Ok. Fuck me, little girl."

Willow straddled the brunette's head, lowering her throbbing pussy to the girl's face. Willow's hands gripped the headboard as she felt Cordelia's tongue tentatively run against her wetness. She began to move against the girl, forgetting that she needed to breathe. She heard gasping and moved up, allowing Cordelia to draw in some much needed breaths. Soon, she was again on Cordelia.

"You can move your hands" she said softly, closing her eyes as Cordelia nipped at her clit with blunt teeth.

Cordelia was overcome with the taste of Willow. Cool liquid dripped from the vampire's slit. She moved her arms, glad to be able to move them. She ran her hands over Willow's ass, pulling the writhing girl tighter against her seeking tongue. She felt Willow's hand kneading her breasts as the girl leaned backwards slightly. She could hear the buzzing, still feel the foreign object buried deep inside her. She heard Willow scream as her face was flooded with her release. Cordelia moaned loudly as another orgasm struck her tired body.

Willow moved off of the girl. She removed the vibrator and turned it off. She licked it clean, knowing Cordelia was watching her. She put it back in the drawer, completely oblivious to her nudity. She looked back at Cordy and saw the girl yawn. She knew it was late. The girl had class the next day. "Sleep, little girl."

Cordelia smiled softly as she pulled the sheet over her. Soon, she was sleeping deeply.

Willow opened the door and saw Spike sitting on the floor, his limp cock hanging loosely from his jeans. She saw a wet spot on the carpet and smiled. "Naughty boy. Listening again?"

He smiled, his cock beginning to harden at seeing her. "You two were so loud, I could hear Angelus straining against his chains. Couldn't help hearing."

Willow knelt on the floor, taking him in her mouth. She felt his hands in her hair as he thrust down her throat. Soon, she was swallowing his cold seed. "Yummy" she said smiling and licking her lips.

"Pet, ready for bed?"

"Yes." Willow stood and walked with him to their bedroom down the hall. She had had Cordelia in one of the extra bedrooms. She had no plans to share her and Spike's personal space with anyone.

"Spike, she was a virgin."

He looked at her with wide eyes before chuckling, "Wow. You know that means she's bound to you don't you?"

"I was afraid of that" She said softly. He caught her face and kissed her as they walked into their room.

"You enjoy her. I could hear that. Enjoy it luv. I don't mind."

"Are you sure? I never intended for this to get so out of hand."

Spike laughed outright, "You can't control everything luv. Would have thought you'd know that now."

She smiled, "Just hush, old man. We can talk later. Right now, fuck me."

"With pleasure" Spike said pushing her to the bed and entering her deeply. "Think sometime I can watch you two girls play?"

"Pervert" she said smiling as she met his thrusts.

"Me?" he asked innocently.

"You."

"I like to see you cum, no matter who does it. I prefer it being me, of course. The sounds you make...the way your eyes flash....I want to see what she does to you that makes you scream so loudly."

"Maybe one day...." she said, claiming his mouth and silencing his words.

**********

Angelus hit Spike, knocking him into the dresser. Blood was spilling from various wounds on the blond's body and face. Willow watched the red substance spread over the carpet. She saw Spike swing, but he was so weak that Angelus easily avoided his fist. Angelus chuckled as he grabbed Spike by the scruff of his neck.

"You are mine, boy. Never forget that."

Spike caught Willow's eyes and flinched. She saw the hurt and betrayal in the blue depths. She saw him glance at the door and was surprised to see Cordelia there watching with a smile on her lips.

Angelus roughly pulled Spike's jeans down and pushed him to his knees. "Baby boy needs a reminder at who daddy is."

Willow saw him unzip his leather pants, his huge cock hard and ready. She saw Spike close his eyes as Angelus thrust into him, tearing his anus open. She watched the blood begin to form as Angelus began to savagely attack his childe.

Willow felt hands on her and saw Cordelia kneeling at her feet. She watched as the brunette began to lick her folds, her tongue darting deep inside her. She saw Spike look at her lifelessly. All emotion gone from his eyes as Angelus continued to pound into his ass. She tried to keep from coming, but couldn't. Cordelia's fingers and tongue brought her to orgasm. She shook her head in denial at what was happening.

She heard Angelus grunt as he flooded the torn ass of his childe with his seed. She opened her mouth to scream when she saw him withdraw a stake. She watched in horror as he pierced Spike's heart, the blue eyes blinking at her with love before turning to dust.

"NOOOOOOOO" Willow sat up in bed, screaming. She pushed Spike off of her, running downstairs. She burst into the basement, grabbing a stake on the way. She caught Angelus asleep, burying the stake deep into his shoulder. His brown eyes looked at her startled.

"What?"

"If you ever even THINK about touching my Spike, I'll chain you outside to watch the sunrise. He's mine. Any former claims you had are dissolved as of now. If you don't accept that, I'll stake you now."

Angelus saw the desperate look in her eyes and knew she was serious. He had no idea what had caused this, but he was smart enough to know when to save his own ass. "Fine. All my claims on the boy dunder are yours. Now, can you get that stake out of my shoulder. I'd like to get some sleep."

Willow looked at him for a few minutes. She felt hands on her shoulders.

"Shh, luv. It was just a bad dream. Let's get you to bed."

She looked at Spike and smiled, "You're alive." She kissed him deeply.

"Upstairs. Ok pet?"

"Yes." Willow nodded. "Just a bad dream."

Spike glanced at Angelus and grimaced, "Sorry about that stake, mate. I couldn't catch her in time."

"I gave her my claims on you." Angelus said softly. He saw the blue eyes look startled, and smiled "Figured it would be better than risking my life. Guess that means we can be friends?"

Spike smiled slightly, "We'll see. Better take care of that stake. I have to go to Willow."

Angelus watched his childe join his love. He glanced around the cell and frowned. He had no intention of remaining in this dismal basement. He'd have to do what he could to get an actual bedroom.

**********

Spike sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes watching Willow pace back and forth. She wasn't talking. He had been watching her since they had come upstairs. She was upset, that was obvious. He was hesitant to bring up her nightmare. It was rare that vampires dreamed. When they did, it was usually an odd occurence. Willow had been human recently enough that the act of dreaming wasn't that strange.

Willow turned on him, her eyes blazing yellow. "What?"

He blinked blue eyes at her, an easy smile on his face. "Nothing."

Her hands went to her hips and she glared, "Don't give me that. I can see that you're dying to say something."

He moved back, his back against the headboard. He moved his long legs onto the bed, crossing his feet at his ankles. "I'm just sitting here."

Willow stared at Spike. Her eyes went over him. She again thought of her terrible nightmare. She was so relieved that it had been just a dream. It had been so real to her. She had attacked Angelus without thinking. She didn't care what he had told her, she didn't trust him. Angel she could control. She had no qualms about that. Angelus was an entirely different story. She had to treat the dream as a warning.

She and Spike needed to stay together. She couldn't let anything from outside interfere with them. She couldn't survive without him. She moved to the bed, putting her knees around his feet. Spike watched her face shift, her eyes green as she began climbing up his body. His cock hardened as her cold flesh made contact with his. She crawled up until her face was even with his. She kissed him gently, her eyes soft.

"I thought you had died." She said quietly. She didn't want to give him details, but he deserved to know why she had freaked out.

"I didn't." He said softly, rubbing his hand against her shoulder.

She laid her head on his chest, moving her fingers in circles across his chest. "You left me.....I can't lose you."

"I'll never leave you pet." Spike said, wondering why she was dreaming about his death. "Angelus killed me?"

She nodded, her hair rubbing against his flesh. "Yes. I woke up and only wanted to make sure that he never tried to stake you."

"It's been a long past couple of days. There have been so many things happening."

"I know. I miss it being just us." Willow said.

"You don't have to worry about Angelus, sweet. He is too smart to risk anything. He's seen the loyalty they have for you. Besides, you're his mate. The demon recognizes that. He might try to test his limits, but somehow I doubt he'll get that far."

Willow laughed softly, "You're confidence in me is outstanding. I know you're right. We should keep an eye on him, but I don't think he's dangerous. I guess the last few days just caught up with me finally. Things should finally be calming down."

Spike laughed as his hand caressed her hair. "Calm? In Sunnydale? The mayor is dead. You have Angelus and Cordelia in rooms in the house. Glenn is playing house with the moron. And you think the future is going to be calm?"

"Well, when you put it that way...."

"Enough talking. You should get some rest."

"Rest?" Willow said, looking at him. She let her hand drift lower. She saw his eyes flare with passion. "I don't think so....."

**********

Willow smiled slightly as she looked around her living room. She laid her head against the door as she thought over everything that had happened over the last year.

First, she had died. That was definitely the turning point in her life...or afterlife. She had fallen in love with Spike, her mate. She had become the first Mistress of Sunnydale, running the town tightly. Her clan was thriving and death in the town was down at an all time low. The new Mayor and she had made an arrangement that benefited them both.

Angelus had turned out true to his word. He had made no attempts at overthrowing her or replacing Spike in her life. Instead, he was content to be her enforcer. He thrived on the violence. He had moved upstairs a month after his soul had left him the final time. Spike and he had fought in the beginning, but now had an easy relationship that kept them both happy.

Xander and Glenn were still together. After graduation, her mortal friend (her demon cringed at the thought of having a mortal for anything other than food or sex) moved into the house, sharing a room with his lover downstairs. He was attending UC Sunnydale majoring in business. He planned to open an all night doughnut shop after college, that catered to vampires in the back room. He would be wealthy before it was all over.

Giles and Jenny had married and left town, going back to England. Willow had not kept in touch with them directly. Faith had been sent to Kansas City when a new hellmouth had opened. The girl was still alive. The council had decided that Sunnydale no longer needed special attention. They trusted her, a vampire, to keep the balance. She hadn't spoken to Giles or Jenny, but had sent a wedding gift, tickets to England. It had been a warning that they had accepted. She really had no purpose for her old friends. She couldn't explain why she still felt something for Xander, just chalking it up to a lifetime of friendship. Who could explain things like that? She was still ruthless, not batting an eye at savagely killing anyone that opposed her, yet she had two humans living with her that she considered friends.

The other human was Cordelia of course. Strangely, the girl had asked to move in after graduation. She went to UC-Sunnydale with Xander, majoring in History of all things. She knew how much even the vampire Willow loved this subject, so she had made her choice. Spike often laughed and teased about her devotion to his mate. He couldn't complain though. The girl was as loyal and faithful as he, her love for their Red almost the same. He hated having to admit that, but he knew his love was stronger and eternal. He could deal with someone else sharing those feelings for Willow, as long as she stayed his. After Willow had almost killed Angelus all those months ago, she had always included him in her and Cordelia's sessions. He had joined them more frequently, being the only man that was allowed to touch the ex May Queen. He knew Willow wasn't going anywhere, so he didn't mind her piece of human fluff.

Willow moved into the room, her eyes glancing over them all. So strange to see how things changed. Buffy had died, killed with her own stake. Willow had felt no emotion at hearing the news. Whatever she had once felt for her friend had died when she had breathed her last gasps of breath in the crypt a year ago. Today was her birthday. She was now a year old. That's why everyone was celebrating. It didn't seem like a year since she had died. Time went quickly. She moved into Spike's embrace as Cordelia laid beside her, the brunette's head in her lap. She stroked her hair, petting it as they all settled down to an evening at home. It was funny actually. Now that she was dead, she was living.

next
