The Perfect Opportunity 2 by
Angel Jade
Xander followed Spike and Angel into the hotel, his nerves eating away at him. Why he should be so afraid of a hotel, he didnt know. Perhaps it was less to do with the hotel, and more to do with the fact he was going to be living with Angel and Spike. Vampires. Male vampires.
This was wrong on so many levels.
Spike walked in and had a look around, nosing though papers on Cordelias desk and poking his head in Wesleys office. When Angel cleared his throat, pointedly, Spike simply flashed him a grin.
When youre quite done, Spike. He said.
Alright, peaches calm down. Wheres the bedroom, Im up for some serious
Geez Spike. You cant stop for two minutes, can you? Xander asked.
Sleep. Some serious sleep, Pet. Not my fault you got a dirty mind. Spike raised his eyebrows suggestively.
Stop arguing and Ill show you where you can sleep. Angel said.
Aint we sleeping with you? Spike asked.
Angel threw Xander a questioning look.
Whatever you want. Xander said.
Angel nodded. Spike, you can have your own bed. Itll be bad enough when Cordelia finds out youre here, Id rather not have her walk in on us.
Spike snorted. Youre no fun.
I didnt say we were going to sleep straight away. Angel said suggestively.
Thats more like it. Spike said sarcastically and followed Angel up stairs. Comin Pet?
Xander snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at Spike blankly. Yeah.
*****
Nice place you got here. Bit Poufy but thats ya style, innit? Spike teased.
Angel shoved Spike hard and smiled as his childe landed on the large bed.
Nice to see you still got a bit of Angelus in there somewhere. Spike said.
Angel was on Spike before he could insult him anymore; pressing his lips against Spikes to silence the younger vampire.
Xander watched with glints of yellow running through his eyes. Part of him (better known as the soul) wanted to wait for an invite. The other part? Wanted to get in there, and fuck both vampires raw.
Angel pulled away from Spike. Strip. He said.
Spike obliged as Angel walked over to Xander. You want to join in?
Xander nodded and watched with strange fascination as Angel got to his knees and began to undress the boy.
Spike grinned at the sight. Now thats a decent fucking porno.
Xander closed his eyes as Angels mouth covered his erect cock, sliding all the way down. Before he could stop himself, his hand was in Angels hair, pressing the vampire down onto his cock.
Angel was surprised but soon adapted to the pace and continued to pleasure the youngest vampire.
Aye, thought he was your adopted childe. Aint supposed to suck em off ya know. Spike teased, aroused at the scene before him. He now stood naked by the bed, waiting for Angel to continue.
Xander came with a strangled growl down Angels throat and pulled away.
Spike was by their side in a second and captured Xanders face in a kiss.
Angel undressed slowly, placing his clothes neatly over a chair, before walking behind Xander and doing the same to him, being careful not to disturb the kiss too much.
Xander broke the kiss and looked at Spike. Its my turn to do you. He said, smiling.
Angel marvelled at the change in Xander. Still the same and yet so different.
Xander guided Spike onto the bed into the position he himself had been in not so long ago.
Spike groaned as Xander thrust into him. He knew he should have mentioned lube to the boy.
Angel lay down beside them, taking in the view. He moaned as Spikes hands clasped his cock and began to skilfully bring him off.
Xander pounded into Spike before coming loudly.
He collapsed onto Spike gasping needlessly. Spike groaned and shifted a little, the extra pressure on his cock becoming almost painful...he needed to cum
The oldest vampire glanced up and caught Xan's eye, who grinned evilly and rolled of the blond. As he moved he pulled Spike with him and ended up with Spike sandwiched between his two lovers facing Angel.
Angel gazed into Spike's eyes...seeing the need there he reached out and trailed a hand down the pale chest in front of him as his fingers tangled in the short curls they found, Xander reached round and started to play with Spike's nipples.
The blond groaned loudly...he was as close to heaven as he was ever likely to get as Angel's finger's grazed the head of his cock Xander began to lick his neck. Spike was having trouble not cumming there and then...but he didn't want this to end.
Instinct took control of Xander, and while Angel was playing seductively with Spikes cock, Xander vamped and bit down on Spikes neck.
Spike moaned, the intense feeling of being bitten and played with at the same time, pushing him over the edge. His own face morphed and he came into Angels hand.
Angel, I really have to speak to you. Cordelias voice said, as she strolled in the room.
The three vampires froze, all looking at the girl with mortified expressions.
Cordelia stood there, horrified at first. She saw Xanders face twisted into its vampire form and screamed.
*****
Cordy! Xander cried out quickly.
Cordelia didnt think, she bolted, heading for the stairs as quickly as she could.
Xander bolted after her, down the stairs, grabbing her before she could walk into the light cast through the main doors.
Get off! She screamed.
Cordy, calm down! Xander said, holding her more tightly than he realised. I have a soul listen to me Cordelia Im fine!
She looked at him with an angry glare. Oh yeah, because you usually go round screwing Spike and Angel.
Xander laughed. Good point. But no seriously, ring Willow. She did it well, the soul part. Darla killed me. Cordelia still looked at little doubtful. Whys Spike here?
Because me and him and Angel are kinda sticking together. Xander said awkwardly.
I take it you mean that literally. Cordelia said, dryly.
Xander smiled. Sorta.
I am so not happy with this. Does Spike have a soul?
Uh not exactly. He has a chip though. Cant hurt humans. Xander explained.
Tell Angel Im outta here and if he ever wants to see me again, he can get Wesley to give me one hell of a raise. Cordelia went to leave but stopped and looked at Xander. It is you, though?
Xander nodded.
Cordelia wrapped her arms round him. I missed you dont have a clue why but I did.
I missed you too Cordy. Xander replied.
The human straightened herself up, smiled and walked away, leaving Xander in the lobby.
Well, that went well. Spike said, popping his head round the corner.
At least she didnt quit. Angel added.
And she didnt try staking me. Xander told them. A big plus.
Xander? Angel called.
What?
Angel indicated to his own face.
Xanders hands flew up to his face and felt the vampire ridges across it. Huh. Should really get rid of these. I cant believe she hugged me looking like this.
If you could see how hot you are right now, youd believe it. Spike grinned.
Xander looked down and realised he was still naked. Shit.
*****
Through the day, Xander managed to get to sleep, curled between Angel and Spike, a position he once would have found disturbing.
Spike found himself brushing his fingers across Xanders arms, revelling in the change of situation. Having Angel back in bed with him was one thing but now Xander was there too. All he needed now was a bit of Buffy and hed be one happy vampire.
Angel also remained awake, wondering or rather, worrying about Xanders future. The boy was going to have to come to grips with losing his friends one by one and never growing any older himself. Xander would find that no longer being able to face the light of day and never seeing his reflection ever again would hit him hard.
But Xander was strong. He didnt seem it when you looked at him but Angel knew the boy was stronger than most people took him for.
The three vampires were all happy for the first time in what had seemed like a long time.
But both Angel and Spike knew, this would only be the calm before the storm.
*****
Days passed and the three vampires, despite their constant bickering, managed to stay together. Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn not only tolerated the two new vampires, but actually grew to like them. Angel even took them out to bars, making sure Xander was watched at all times.
But as happy as they were now, they had no idea who was watching them.
Hed been waiting for a long time for the kind of payback he knew would hit Angel right where it hurts. And now, it seemed, the opportunity had arisen.
Lindsey watched the three at the bar carefully. He didnt recognise two, but Angel seemed to be getting on well with them, paying particular attention to the younger, dark haired man. Lindsey noticed the affectionate touching and hidden kisses and smirked to himself.
Thats the one. Lindsey muttered to his hired help.
The kid?
Yeah that a problem? Lindsey snapped.
No Sir. Not a problem. The guy said quickly. Is it human?
Most likely. You better check first. Lindsey said, quietly.
And then? And then you follow the plan you fucking idiot.
*****
Angel watched the two vampires fall over themselves laughing and wished hed reinforced his you drink and neither of you are getting any tonight rule.
Xander was having trouble controlling his face and kept scaring the passers by. Spike found this hilarious and of course did the same.
Why do I always have to be the adult? Angel asked.
Cause youre boring. Spike replied.
No, cause youre sensible and were not. Xander smiled.
Im sen-si-bib-le. Spike objected. He began to veer of course into an alley and Angel followed him quickly.
Xander stood by the side of the road, watching as the blur of cars sped past his eyes. He didnt see the black van pull up next to him, only heard the heart beats and realised he was hungry. When hands grabbed him, he began to panic. Growling, Xander thrashed out, but was stopped suddenly by a stick poking into his back and delivering a painful burst of electricity though his body.
Angel!
Angel spun around at the sound of Xanders voice. He let go of the barely standing Spike, letting him fall to the floor and ran back to the sidewalk, just in time to see the van accelerate off. He ran after it, managing to get quite close until a car swerved out the vans way and slammed into Angel, sending him into unconsciousness.
*****
Comeon, wake up. Spikes voice called, a slight tone of worry in his voice.
Spike?
Yeah, its me. Comeon. Ygotta wake up. We gotta go after the whelp.
Xander I Angel sat up quickly and soon wished he hadnt. His head pounded and he was sure something was broken.
Youre okay just give it time.
We dont have time.
Who did it? Who the hell would want Xander Harris? Spike asked.
Maybe its not Xander theyre after. Angel said solemnly.
You? Spike asked. Isnt me I do owe some people but its not like the whelp is worth much.
Angel shot Spike a look. It can only be one person. Hes had it in for me for a long time.
Who? Lindsey McDonald.
*****
Lindsey looked at the unconscious boy, chained to the chair in a dimly lit room and smiled. He grabbed a fist full of his hair as Xander began to wake and yanked his head up to force Xanders eyes to his own.
Wh who are you? Xander asked groggily.
Lindsey smirked. We have friends in common. Lets just say youre kinda important.
Xanders eyes widened as he realised what position he was in. He began to struggle against the chains.
Dont bother. We know how to chain up a vampire. Lindsey told him. Kinda surprised you are one actually. Angel usually kills his own now hes sleeping with them.
Xander swallowed. Angel?
Tall brooding guy, double standards stupid hair-do? Lindsey joked. Anyway, the guys pissed me off one too many times and now hes gonna get his. He takes my girl away from me and I take his whore vampire away from him.
Hey! Xander growled angrily. He silenced Lindseys hand hit him hard across the cheek.
You be a good little boy and stay put. Soon as Angel comes for you, then we get to play. Lindsey said, walking out, rubbing his fist from the slight pain.
Xander watched him go and struggled again, wondering if it was his own fault for not being a stronger vampire. If only Angel was there.
*****
Angel was being helped to the door of the hotel as Lindsey strolled though, smacking the doors out of his way in a scene of melodrama.
Angel instinctively growled. Youve got about two seconds to tell me where he is before Nu-uh. How about you shut the fuck up or your little whores gonna die again. Lindsey said.
Spike let Angel go gently and leaped over to Lindsey, on the human in a second.
Spike dont! He knows where Xander is! Angel warned.
Spike let go, backing away slightly but not letting his game face fall.
Listen to your boyfriend Spike. Heres the deal, you do what I want, and your little vampire goes home.
Angel shook his head. Bullshit. I wouldnt trust you Then he can die for all I care. Lindsey smirked. And trust me he will. Either way, Im gonna win here.
I doubt that. Spike muttered. Youre messin with the wrong family here.
Lindsey raised his eyebrows. Spike! As in Drus bitch hated grandchilde of Darla and useless fuck of a childe to the equally pathetic Angelus?
Spike laughed. The very same.
What do you want, Lindsey? Angel growled from the stairs.
Lindsey pretended to think things over. Now that is a tough question.
Where do I start?
*****
No way, not a chance. Spike said stubbornly.
I thought you might be a little reluctant, so lets put it this way. Suns almost up. And your vampire is sitting right next to a very large window.
Whats to stop us from beating a place name out of you? Spike interrupted.
But then whos going to pull the curtains to? Id hate to find a big pile of ash when I get back. So messy.
Spike grabbed Lindseys collar and hoisted him in the air. Youre gonna be in some serious pain if you dont start talking. Spike hes not joking, put him down. Angel said, reluctantly.
Spike growled before dropping Lindsey and smirked when the lawyer struggled to land on his feet.
So this is how its going to work. Lindsey said, straightening his outfit out. Theres gonna be a swap. You for him.
Like we said, no chance. Spike said.
Spike, let him talk. Angel told his childe, walking carefully down the stairs on his still painful legs. This is because I killed Darla? Lindsey just stared at him. Well, I wouldnt have had to if you hadnt killed her in the first place. I saved her
You damned her. Angel spat. I had no choice, shed already sired one of my friends, she would only have caused more damage.
Sired? Lindsey asked before it hit him. He smirked. That vampire she sired him? And let me guess, you got him a soul oh this is so perfect.
You wanna swap fine. Angel said.
Sodding hell Angel, hes not gonna take you out on a fucking date, you know. Tell me you know whatll happen if you go? Spike asked angrily.
Oh no, doesnt work that way. Lindsey interrupted. Youll come when I tell you to. Youll receive further instructions. For now, stay here and screw your whole. Ill amuse myself with the other one.
This time Angel lost his temper and despite healing injuries, he lunged at Lindsey slamming him down onto his back, his hand closed tightly around the lawyers throat. I suggest you dont touch him, Lindsey. I really do.
Lindsey tried to choke out a response but Angel had no intention of letting him.
Because Spike here, hell hunt you down and make sure that anything thats happened to the boy, will happen to you threefold. Am I making myself clear? Lindsey nodded.
Good. Angel got off him, releasing Lindseys throat.
He gasped for breath before standing up and straightening his clothes once again. Youll be hearing from me very soon.
Angel and Spike watched helplessly as he left. Spike went to follow him but Angel stuck his arm out to block Spikes path. No. No use in following him, hes smarter than that. Hell have people watching us, decoys and God knows what else. We cant just swap you for Xander. Well be in exactly the same situation, except no one left to think up the good plans. Spike pointed out.
Youre worried about him, arent you? Angel asked.
Angel smiled. Well get him back, Spike. Even if it does mean a little sacrifice.
There will be no sacrificing of any sort. Spike said sternly.
Xanders only got mixed up in this because if me. Its not fair. Angel said. And who do you think is more likely to escape, me or him?
Yeah you have a point.
Im just worried about what hes going to do to him. Angel said quietly.
Hes only human, mate. If it were Angelus, Id be worried, but some poncy lawyer?
You really dont know Lindsey, do you? Angel asked. He really has it in for me. Cause you killed Darla, I know.
And I kinda cut his hand off. Angel added.
Oh. Right. Well, still aint any reason to go evil psychotic.
He works for a devil worshiping lawyer firm.
Right we should probably be worried then.
*****
Lindsey stood at the door to the warehouse, watching Xander. The boy sat with his head slightly bowed. Probably exhausted from all the struggling and screaming captives had a tendency of doing.
Xanders head darted up as his newly improved senses kicked in. He felt anger boiling inside where fear usually would have been and growled.
Lindsey laughed. Guess who I just saw.
Youre making a big mistake. Youre messing with the wrong vampires. Xander said.
Angel offered to take your place. Isnt that just beautiful. Lindsey joked.
Xander felt his stomach flip. Angel had done that just for him? And And Im having my secretary call his. Lindsey said. Arrangements must be made. And besides, I so wanted to have fun with you first.
Xander swallowed hard. Youre going to trade?
Well, no offence uh, Lindsey waited for Xander to offer a name.
Xander.
Xander, but youre of no use whatsoever to me other than hurting Angel and maybe having a little fun. Lindsey explained.
Trust me, you dont want to piss Angel off. You ever met Angelus? Xander asked.
Havent had the chance yet. Darla used to tell me such stories though of course I was more interested in the parts about her kicking his ass than anything.
Darla Xander looked a little confused.
Your Sire, remember? Lindsey asked.
Xander looked down. He remembered.
You ever been in love, Xander?
I guess.
You cant guess you just know.
Well, I loved Cordelia a girl who went to my school she works with Angel now. Xander said.
Ah, the lovely Cordelia. Lindsey laughed. Wonder how shes recovering from my trying to drive her insane last year. Xander stiffened his jaw but said nothing.
And you loved her?
Sorta. And my best friend I thought I loved her and my girlfriend ex-girlfriend. Xander snorted. Guess Ive been in love a whole lot. Lindsey shook his head. Thats not love, kid. You cant guess. You love Angel?
Xander looked, wide eyed at Lindsey. No!
Lindsey cocked his head. Really? Thought you and him were all close.
Well Xander began to turn red. No, I mean just cause theyre vampires and I am You screw them both?
Xander looked away. Whats it to you anyway?
Well, you see, I gotta hurt Angel. Thats what this is for. When I spoke to him earlier, I got the impression he loved you. And so did the blond British vampire. I thought maybe youd be worth something but you dont even love the guy do you? Xander wasnt listening. Hed lost it early on in the speech. Angel couldnt possible love him. Or Spike it wasnt possible. This guy was evil, what did he know?
Oh you didnt know Angel and uh, Spike were hot for you, huh? Lindsey asked. Oh yeah I know these things. You mean a lot to them and therefore you mean a lot to me. Lindsey grinned. Im thinking, you might be pretty damn useful after all.
W what, for the swap? Xander asked, nervously.
Yeah but you didnt really think Id just swap you both, did you? Lindsey laughed. Thats no fun. And Angel Angel can die knowing he did it all to save you and I dont want that. I got something so much better planned.
*****
Angel stormed into Lilahs office, having snuck past security and found a great way of throwing the vampire sensors. He just hoped Spike didnt get hurt prating around downstairs.
Angel. Lilah smiled. A bittersweet smile, but a smile nevertheless. More than he ever got from Lindsey.
You want me, you got me. Just set him free. Angel said, stalking over to her desk and leaning over so she had to look up at him.
Ah...yes, of course, just give me and name and well have him released as soon as possible. Lilah said, her heart skipping a beat. Was this really her opportunity to get Angel for the senior partners?
Angel faltered. Xander. I want him released now!
Xander ? I need a last name. And some details like are we talking jail or demon dimension here? And
What? Angel frowned. Xander your friend Lindsey has him somewhere and I want him released.
Realization dawned. Ah Im afraid youre in the wrong place. As far as I know, Lindseys taking his holiday this week. Whatevers gone on is either classified to me, or nothing to do with the firm and Id go with the latter. Nothing goes on here without my knowing.
Angel watched her carefully. She wasnt lying. For once. My mistake.
Lilah watched, slightly disappointed, as Angel walked out, taking her big chance with him.
But if I find out you had anything to do with it forget Angelus, Ill hand you over to William the bloody. You can see just how much torture runs in the family.
*****
Xanders head sung to the right as Lindseys fist connected with his jaw for the fifth time. He tasted blood in his mouth and realised how hungry he was.
And you wanna know what he said after that? Lindsey asked, pulling his fist back, ready for another. He said, you wanna swap fine. Which of course I knew would be his response. Lindsey landed another punch to Xanders cheek.
You know what I think? Xander asked.
Lindsey smirked. Enlighten me. I think youre jealous about the wrong vampire. Xander said. I think you wanted Angel. Is that why youre so pissed off? Because hed never love a piece of shit like you?
You know boy, you gotta big mouth on you. Lindsey said, yanking a crucifix from his pocket. Think we can fix that? *****
Angel walked out of the building, signalling Spike, whod kept everyone busy by darting around the room, refusing to be caught or staked. They walked out of Wolfram and Hart together, neither saying a word until they were far enough away.
Well? Apparently, Lindseys gone solo. Angel said. Lilah didnt know anything.
Spike looked angrily at his Sire. Now what? We wait until he calls you? Since when did you let them make you play it your way, Angelus?
Angel winced. The only thing we could do is try and find out through contacts, but that could take Then we do it. Spike said. Whats wrong with you? Stop falling to pieces and get it together, mate. Xander needs your help.
Our help. Angel corrected.
Yeah well, not sure I can do much. Spike mumbled.
Spike, come on. You were right, we need to take action. We cant wait for Lindsey. Angel watched Spike carefully.
You think hes okay? I mean, worth saving and all?
I hope so. Angel admitted.
Spike hesitated. Yeah, me too.
*****
Angel watched as Spike kicked the crap out of one of the nastier demons. He was holding out on information, so Spike had decided to play his own way.
And who was Angel to stop him?
Alright this guy he hired one guy half demon, to kidnap someone vampire I think. The demon said, his arm having been broken, lay limply by its side.
And? Angel demanded.
And rumour is, the human that did it, works for that lawyer company. He hired a warehouse, downtown. The demon added.
See, I knew you had it in you. Angel smiled with fake sweetness. Now you can show us.
The demon pulled a rather doubtful expression, until Spike got a little more violent. Yeah sure, I can do that.
*****
You know what I really hate, Xander? Lindsey asked, leaning on the wall not so far away from Xander, who was still tied to a chair, drops of blood covering his clothes.
Angel? Xander guessed, sarcastically.
Well, yeah but I hate people like Angel. People who believe they can make a difference. Save the world Lindsey snorted. He thinks he can make a difference. He can. Has. Xander replied.
Has he? Does anyone know about the hundreds of people hes saved? Does anyone know about averted apocalypses? Lindsey asked.
For some people, its not about the fame and the money. Xander said.
Who do you think will care when he dies? Lindsey asked.
I will. Xander replied, looking Lindsey in the eyes.
Lindsey laughed, You will? Thats too bad. I was beginning to like you as well.
Damn, and there was me thinking were best friends. Xander muttered.
The door behind them opened with a bang.
Angel, youre late. Lindsey said, not even having to turn around to know who it was.
Xander, you okay? Angel asked, walking over with Spike at his side.
Yeah Xander said, not bothering to hide the relief in his voice.
Angel grabbed Lindsey by the throat and hoisted him up, his grip tightening hard. What was the point, Lindsey? Make me worry. That was your big plan?
Lindsey tried to laugh but his throat was a little too constricted. N o
Angel dropped him, fully prepared to work the lawyer over to make Angelus proud.
Actually, it wasnt. Lindsey said, hoarsely.
Spike untied Xander and helped him up, unconsciously checking the boy was alright. Sure, youre okay Pet?
Yeah, Spike. Just happy you finally got here. Xander said.
Angel looked up as a small group of humans or possibly half-demons, walked in. Thats cute Lindsey. A trap. Three vampires and you think we cant escape Angel fell silent as a bolt of energy hit him. Lindsey smirked as the vampire slumped to the floor unconscious.
Spike moved to grab Lindsey but he was down before he could get close enough. Xander vamped out and watched the humans, ready to dodge the bolts. He managed to avoid a few, before joining his fellow vampires in unconsciousness.
Like I said. That wasnt the plan. Lindsey said to himself.
*****
Angel woke first, looking around angrily. He saw Lindsey watching him and growled.
You recognise this, Angel? Lindsey asked, holding up a syringe with some sort of chemical in it.
Its a syringe. Angel replied sarcastically. You a junkie now, Lindsey?
The lawyer smirked. Im not surprised. The first time you saw tried this, it was done orally.
Angel frowned, not sure if he was thinking about the same drug.
You dont know what we had to give her for this information. What she wanted well, I guess thats not important. The partners gave it her without hesitation and weve been keeping this information top secret for a long time.
Angel realised what Lindsey was talking about realised what he planned to do
Yeah, see. Now youre getting it. Lindsey said. See those two over there?
Angel looked at the two unconscious vampires across the room, both chained up like him. He had to hide the fear in his eyes from Lindsey. The fear of what he was about to do to the two people he cared about more than anyone.
I really hope Angelus doesnt kill them. I think itd be so much better if you came back and had to see them in pain suffering. Lindsey said, casually.
This is between us Lindsey! Angel yelled. Let them go and Ill do whatever you want.
Lindsey smirked. You already will. Youll stay there like a good boy until the drugs kick in.
Angel thrashed against the chains. There was no way hed hurt them. Not again. Not the way he hurt Spike before. Not the way he intended on hurting Xander.
Stop that. Lindsey chastised. How does it feel to know the ones you love are going to die slowly? I was able to save Darla from a painful death not that it did me much good. Nothings going to save them. Or you.
*****
Wesley and Gunn jumped out of the truck, fully armed. Theyd received a strange telephone message from Angel explaining everything. None of it made sense to them, but they had understood one thing. That Angel needed them.
They broke into the warehouse and came face to face with a number of guards.
Gunn groaned. We dont need this! Were gonna be too late.
Theres nothing we can do Gunn. Lets just hope Angels handling things on his own.
*****
Angel struggled hard as Lindsey made his way over. He held the syringe by Angels arm and smiled as he inserted it into the veinless forearm.
Lindsey, you dont have to do this. Get your revenge on me leave them out of this! Angel begged. He couldnt stand the thought of hurting them not after theyd come so far he couldnt lose anyone else he loved because of Angelus.
*****
Gunn managed to grab a stun gun off one of the guards and shot three of them down quickly.
Wesley gave him an impressed glance.
They were finally able to get to the door. They opened in, guns and weapons raised.
*****
Lindsey spun around, not having expected company. He frowned angrily as he saw who was standing there. Youre too late, he said, backing away, the syringe in his hand empty.
Get out! Angel yelled. Get them and leave quickly.
Gunn stormed over, stun gun pointed ready.
Go on. Kill me. Lindsey said. Wont make a difference Ill still get my revenge.
What do you mean? Gunn demanded.
He injected me with the drug dont unchain me! Angel barked, as Wesley got too close.
Oh dear God. Wesley said. We need to get out of here.
Why? Gunn asked.
Hes been injected with the drug we told you about.
The one that makes him go nuts? Gunn asked.
The very same.
Now, Wesley! Angel yelled angrily.
But hes chained up he cant escape, can he?
Angel pulled on the chains angrily, trying to pull them down.
I wouldnt like to stay and find out. Wesley said. You sort him out, Ill get Xander and Spike.
Gunn shot Lindsey, causing him to collapse in a heap while Wesley began to unchain the sleeping vampires. The movement roused them and they opened their eyes drearily.
We need to get out of here immediately. Wesley said, using his axe to break the chains around Xanders hands.
Whats goin on? Spike asked. You took your bleedin time.
We must hurry, Angel Wesley broke off as Angelus began to scream inhumanly. Is now Angelus we need to leave and let the drug wear off. Its only temporary but I dont trust the chains to hold him.
Now free, Xander, Spike and Wesley made their way back to Gunn and the unconscious Lindsey.
Xander watched Angelus warily.
Angelus smirked back. Xander so nice to see you joining us in the land of the unliving. Want me to show you how real Sires claim their childer?
Spike stood defensively in front of Xander. Get out, all of you. Ill watch him.
Spike are you sure? I mean what if he ? Xander said.
Yeah, Pet. Hes not going anywhere. Get outta here. And kill that sodding lawyer before I get my hands on him.
Wesley touched Xanders shoulder, to pull him away and they left Spike and Angelus alone.
Angelus continued to pull at the chains, determined to get free.
Dont bother Angelus you havent got the time your soul will be back soon. Just be grateful youve had a chance to come out for a bit. Like taking a dog for a walk. Spike smirked. Like Angel taking his bitch for a walk.
Spike laughed as Angelus thrashed against the chains.
Look mate lets just hurry up and get Angel back okay, some of us want to shag today.
You love him dont you? Angelus smirked. Admit it to me I know you, Will. Tell me the truth. You love them.
Spike shook his head. Mnot admittin nothing.
You were so worried about Xander adorable. Angelus said, sarcastically. You never were any good at being a vampire.
Hey, sod off! Spike yelled back. Killer of two slayers here.
But you fell in love with one! Angelus smirked. And now you love two vampires with souls?
Never said that.
You dont have to. I know. I made you. Theres nothing I dont know.
Yeah? Lead singer of the sex pistols? Come on see, you aint as smart as you make out. Spike grinned smugly.
About you. Nothing I dont know about you. Angelus said.
Maybe.
So you do love them? Angelus asked.
Yeah so what if I do?
Angel will be so happy to hear that. Maybe a little too happy. Angelus grinned.
In ya dreams, mate.
*****
Xander sat with Wesley in the back, Lindsey in the front seat, while Gunn drove.
Youre sure nothing happened? Wesley asked again.
Nothing the guy was all talk. Xander said. Im fine my face kinda hurts, but Im fine.
Cordelia was worried about you. And Angel of course. Gunn said from the front.
I can take care of myself. Xander said. Okay, maybe Angel and Spike can take care of myself. Nope, wait theres always some one around to save my ass at the last minute. Guess I should be thankful for that. This could have turned out nasty. Last thing you want is the guy you lo live with going all evil.
Wesley smiled wryly. Yes, indeed.
*****
Spike had been there for hours, talking to his Sire his real Sire. He managed to calm Angelus down, stopping him from breaking free. He even managed to make his peace. Sort of.
Listen Angelus, things have changed. You havent been around. I loved Dru for a long time. Maybe youre right, Im not normal. But now I love Angel and Xander. As much as I hate to sodding admit it, I do.
And the souled-wonder himself loves you back. Its like trying to watch an episode of that shit you always had on the television.
Passions? Spikes eyes lit up. Yeah youd sit there watching it with me, when you should have been out there killing the slayer no way you liked it, right?
Angelus smirked. Im a evil soulless vampire, Spike. I dont watch Passions.
Spike rolled his eyes. Sure.
Oh great.
What?
Here we go again. Angelus said.
What?
Time to be resouled. Just as I was getting back into having a body again.
Ah well, theres always next time.
And you know, next time Im gonna make you pay for that stunt with the crowbar. Angelus threatened.
Good on ya. Spike said.
Stupid fucking curse. Angelus muttered as he felt everything go black.
*****
Xander waited on Angels bed, feeling the sheets, lost in his own world. Hed never been so scared, being held captive by a loony lawyer. Hed been really scared of what Lindsey would do. If things had worked out differently, hed probably be being beaten and raped by Angelus right now.
He wasnt sure why that didnt bother him as much as losing Angel would have done.
And so he waited patiently for them to return. Wanted them back in bed, at his side the way it was supposed to be.
The two men vampires that he loved.
*****
Spike helped a dazed Angel up the stairs, holding him tightly more because he was relieved to see him as him again rather than for support.
Sokay luv, almost there.
Spike Angel was finally gaining more focus. Is Xander okay?
Hes fine. No harm done. Bastard lawyer only hit him wanted Angelus to finish the job. Spike explained.
And you youre okay?
Yep. Look okay, dont I?
Yeah you always do. Angel smiled.
Hey, keep it down. Well surprise the whelp. Spike whispered as they neared the door.
Standing silently outside, Spike reached for the doorknob.
*****
Xander looked up as the doorknob turned and he sighed, relieved, to see his lovers walk in. Oh Thank God.
Xander. Angel muttered. Are you sure youre okay?
I am now. Xander said, walking over to them and kissing Angel.
Spike smiled. Wheres mine?
Xander grinned and kissed Spike happily.
So, things went well? Xander asked Spike.
Yeah me and Angelus talked. First time we ever talked without him shoving me into a wall and
It went well. Angel interrupted, throwing a glance at Xander.
Good I was worried. Xander said.
You were worried? Angel asked. We He broke off, looking at Spike, not sure if the vampire would want Xander knowing.
We were worried big time, Pet. Spike said softly.
You were? Xander smiled. Guess Lindsey was right.
What?
Nothing. Where is the little shit anyway?
Language, Peaches. Spike said.
I think hes tied up, naked. Xander smirked. In the basement, awaiting trial.
Angel laughed. Good. I have just the fate for our favourite lawyer.
But not now, right? Xander asked. I mean we I was thinking about this the whole Oh! No, after. Well deal with him after. Right now, all I want is you. Angel said, his hands rushing up to the few clothes Xander wore and helping him remove them.
Spike smirked and began removing his own. Now this is more like it. When he was naked, Spike reached down and took his hard cock firmly in his hand...starting a slow even pull on the cool hard flesh.
After stripping Xander, Angel stripped his own clothes off. Bed, both of you now.
Xander landed on his back, Spike on top of him, kissing erratically.
Spike felt Angel behind him, easing into his ass and he grinned. Waste no time.
Wasnt gonna. Angel smirked back, holding Spikes hips and thrusting into him.
Need me to take care of the other side? Xander grinned, feeling Spikes cock pressing into his leg.
If ya wouldnt mind Pet.
Spike nudged Angel back, and his Sire grabbed Spikes hips and yanked him off Xander, leaving room for Xander to kneel before Spike and take in his length.
Fuck, youre tight, Spike Angel grunted.
Helps if you use more lube ya sadistic bastard. Spike said, playfully.
Xander took Spikes cock down to the base and teased him.
Hey no fair. Play nice, Pet. Spike chastised, running a hand through Xanders hair and guiding him up and down.
Angel remembered being in the same position or something like it not so long ago. He smiled at where they were now he wouldnt give up the two vampires beneath him for anything.
He continued to thrust into Spike until he came, clutching Spike as he did. Feeling his Sire on him, climaxing, send Spike over the edge and he came into Xanders mouth.
They continued to play into the night, touching, sucking and fucking themselves into a deep sleep, heaped together in a warm embrace.
*****
The next day, Lilah walked into her office and almost died at the sight she saw.
Lindsey?
A muffled moan from under the gag was lost on her as she began to laugh hysterically.
Lindsey gave her an indignant grunt. He was naked; hands and feet tied to a chair, with only a gag to cover himself and it covered the wrong area.
Oh my God! Lilah gasped. I am so glad I work here. Let me go get the boss.
Lindsey screamed into the gag, but it didnt help, she was off to get the boss.
Ah, Mr. McDonald. I hear youve been behind out backs. What luck we should find you in such a position. Remind me to send Angel a fruit basket.
Lindsey
frowned. He was in. So. Much. Trouble.
