The music thumped loudly through her veins as she entered the club. The place was packed and it seemed that everyone was pressed so tightly against one another you couldn't tell where one person started and the other ended. She moved forward quicker to keep up with Faith who was holding her hand and pulling her along. She hadn't been out in such a long time she was surprised that she'd allowed her friend to convince her to go, especially to a place like this.

Buffy Summers didn't go to loud clubs; she went out for meals and to the movies and the fairground. Usually one to only be a little tipsy, she couldn't remember the last time that she'd been completely drunk.

They reached the bar and Faith ordered them a shot of tequila and some other sort of alcoholic drink. She followed Faith's lead, knocking the drinks back, and before she knew it there was another drink in front of her.

"Come on B! I'm not letting you slack tonight, you're keeping up with me even if it means I gotta tip it down your pretty little throat myself." Faith said with a smile as she knocked back a shot of vodka, enjoying the burning sensation that followed.

"Faith, I'm going to be ill tomorrow if I keep this speed up." Buffy complained, wincing at the foul tasting liqueur.

"That's the idea." Faith shouted back over the music. "You wanna dance?"

"Not really."

"Great, lets go." Faith tugged on her hand again and pulled her to the dance floor, dancing along with the music. Buffy stood awkwardly for a moment until Faith pulled her closer and started dancing with her, moving Buffy's hips along with hers to the music. Soon enough Buffy was joining in, 'What the hell' she thought. It's not like she'd ever see any of these people again so there was no reason to be embarrassed by her actions tonight.

She cut loose, closing her eyes and allowing her body to move of it's own free will. The annoying voice that told her she should go home and try to work things out with her boyfriend Riley, was pushed to the side of her mind.

Feeling someone take her arm she opened her eyes to see Faith make a drinking notion to her and she nodded and followed her back to the bar for another drink. She was already feeling the effects of the alcohol in her system but she didn't care and she didn't want to stop, she was having too much fun.

She'd hardly eaten anything in past few days and the drink was going straight to her head. She had to hold the edge of the bar to keep from swaying yet the buzz felt great. She didn't care about responsibilities any more; all she wanted was to get another drink and get out on the dance floor.

Angel stood watching from across the room with his friend, "The brown haired babe is mine." exclaimed his friend Gunn. Angel smirked as he'd had his eyes set on the blonde since she walked into the club anyway. He watched as Gunn walked over to the girls and offered to buy Faith another drink. She willingly took it and when Gunn asked her to dance she kissed her friend on the cheek and followed him out to the dance floor. The blonde turned and scanned the crowd as though she were looking for someone, his heart skipping a beat as her eyes landed on him. Not breaking their contact he crossed the room toward her and stood so close he could feel her breath against the exposed skin on his chest where his shirt buttons had been left open.

"Do you want another drink?" He asked, his hands slipping to her waist. She didn't protest, it was a bold move for him but the alcohol and the desperate need to touch this woman urged him on.

"No, I want to dance." She replied and took his hand leading him to the floor.

Faith watched and laughed as Buffy led the tall dark honey to the floor and pressed her back firmly against his chest as she began dancing. Man was she gonna be embarrassed about her brazen behaviour tomorrow; and it would be Faith's pleasure to rub it in.

Buffy danced seductively against the tall dark stranger. She'd felt someone watching her and as she'd scanned the room she'd met his eyes, she hadn't been able to move her attention away from him. He was the hottest man she'd ever seen! Deep dark brown eyes, tall muscular frame...she was practically drooling just thinking about it, never mind the fact that she was rubbing up against him, his arms fixed, one to her hip and the other wrapped around to her belly. Her whole body tingled when he leant down and kissed the nape of her neck, God she wanted to throw him to the floor and jump his bones. 'Okay that's Faith talking' she thought and smiled. Though honestly she wasn't sure. All she knew was that she wanted him, badly.

"Hey B, me and handsome are gonna take off, you okay here?" Said Faith throwing a glance to the man dancing with her friend.

"Sure, I'll call you tomorrow." Buffy smiled and waved as they left, knowing that if she hadn't been so plastered she would never have stayed alone in a club with a stranger, no matter how good looking he was.

Buffy and Angel stayed in the club until they started kicking people out around 4am. By that point, they had brought several more drinks and had sat making out and fondling each other like teenagers for the past hour. "Do you want to come back to my place for a coffee?" Angel asked, not wanting the night to be over.

"Mmm." she said, not able to form sentences any longer. The alcohol was taking complete control over her system; she couldn't stop touching him, his skin was so smooth, soft and warm.

Angel could see that she was beyond drunk and he knew that he shouldn't be taking her back to his place. She was obviously in no fit state to make any decision about what might happen if he got her alone and he knew that he wouldn't be able to stop himself if she didn't say 'no'. It had been a while since he'd been with a woman and he wanted her so badly. He didn't even realise that he had led her from the club. He looked about the road and found a waiting cab; helping her inside he climbed in beside her and shut the door, giving the driver his address. The cab moved away from the club and Angel wished he hadn't had so much to drink; he might have been able to control himself if he hadn't.

It didn't take long to reach his apartment. He threw a note at the driver, not knowing or caring how much he'd paid and the driver didn't complain so he figured it was enough. He helped Buffy from the cab, she was really unsteady on her feet and he knew she wouldn't make it up to his apartment on her own so he picked her up and carried her to the lift, hoping that he wouldn't fall and hurt them both.

As soon as the lift doors closed he was attacking her mouth and she kissed him back just as eagerly. She managed to swing herself around so that she was straddling him and he pushed her back against the wall and pressed as close as he could get wanting the barrier of clothes between them gone. It look him a minute to get them to his room and open the door, pulling her inside with him and kicking it shut again.

They were a frenzy of movement; ripping each other's clothes from their bodies, touching, kissing and tasting each other like they were dehydrated and taking their first sip of water for the first time in weeks. Their clothes lay in piles on the living room floor as they removed each item from their bodies in a search for bare skin.

"God, you're so beautiful," he said against her neck as he kissed his way down to her breasts. He picked her up again and carried her from the living room through to the bedroom, lowering her to the bed and blanketing her body with his.

"I want you now," she said, not caring about making it last; she just wanted to feel him inside her.

Angel groaned at her words and slowly pushed forward until he was fully seated inside her, a sigh escaping from them both at the blissful feeling of being complete. Held held still, willing himself to calm before it was over before it had even began. Once he'd gotten his body under control again he began rocking slowly back and forth, back and forth kissing every piece of skin that he could reach until the pleasure escalated and he could feel her silken walls fluttering around him. He held on as long as he could and then reaching down he gently pressed against her sensitive bud bringing her spiraling over the edge with him, her breathy moans and his shout of release filling the silent room.

Minutes later Angel rolled to the side to spare her his weight and pulled her into his arms as his breathing calmed and his heart slowed. He heard her breathing steady and when he looked down at her he saw she had fallen asleep. Smiling he pulled the covers over them to keep away the chill then drifted off himself. Not caring that he hadn't asked her name, Angel knew she would be in his arms for the rest of the night, he could wait untill morning to find out the name of the beauty who had given him so much pleasure.

They made love several times through the night, although those times their joining was less frantic and more attentive, both drifting to sleep in between each steamy session until the sun rose high in the sky and both lovers lay exhausted and sated in each others arms.
