Chapter 6 The Test
"What tests?" Angel asked Dr. Martin.
"The tests that I want you to take to prove that your heart and other organs work."
They had reached the first floor by this time and Cordelia was cleaning the kitchen.
"Cordelia, would you join Angel and I at the table please." Dr. Martin said as they sat at the dinning room table. No one else was around at the moment so this was just as good a place as any. Cordelia came and joined them.
"I was telling Angel that I wanted him to take some tests that would prove that his heart and other organs do work. I want the first test to take place tonight. The second test will take place whenever you choose tomorrow."
"What do I have to do?" Angel asked.
"In among all of the equipment that was delivered was a portable heart monitor. Tonight I want you to sleep with it attached to you. This will give me information to compare the next nights test strip to."
"Why 2 nights?" Angel asked.
"Well the first night I want you to sleep alone if possible. The second night, beside the heart monitor, I want you to give me a sample of your semen. I am sure that you will agree that it will be more interesting with Cordelia to help you get that sample. Plus it will show on the heart monitor how fast your heart beats when your, shall we say, active."
Angel's eyes opened wide then he slowly grew a very wide grin.
"Now this is the type of test I like taking." He looked at Cordelia with a big grin on his face.
"Why do you need a semen sample from Angel?" Cordelia asked.
"Because I want to see if he is going to have a problem getting you pregnant. If he is then we can try different things to make sure that you do get pregnant. Plus it will tell us if something was done to both Darla and Angel that enabled them to get pregnant or was it just Darla."
"In other words you want to see if he is still producing sperm?" Cordelia asked.
"Yes it's quite possible. Men have been known to produce sperm way into their eighties and nineties. Since a mans reproductive organs are on the outside of their bodies a Vampires cold body temperature should help him continue to produce sperm. Where as a woman's is on the inside and are always in an environment where the temperature is 97 to 98 degrees at all times. So this will prove that he can get you pregnant and also prove that something was done to them in order to produce Connor. Most likely though it was Darla."
"I don't care why as long as I get to do it." Angel said.
"Aren't you afraid that Angelus will take over?" Cordelia asked Angel.
"No. I'm sure that I will be to busy concentrating on getting that sample into a little jar to find perfect happiness."
"When your ready to go to bed I'll show you how to put the heart monitor on Angel so that you can do it tomorrow." Dr. Martin told Cordelia.
"Does anyone know where Gunn and Wesley went?" Angel asked.
"They went to take care of that guy that attacked you this morning." Cordelia answered.
"I'm going to go and take a shower. If they come back while I'm upstairs tell them I want to talk about that him"
"Okay but Fred and I have a lot of work to do to get ready for the Sunnydale gang to come. Have you called them yet?"
"No, I'll call them when I get out of the shower." Angel yelled back as he went up the stairs 2 steps at a time.
Cordelia went into the kitchen and started making spaghetti sauce for dinner. Dr. Martin helped her by making a salad and garlic bread.
By the time Angel came down, Gunn, Wesley and Connor had returned and were getting cleaned up. Fred was setting the table and Cordelia and Dr. Martin were finishing up the main dishes.
"Angel would you call the others down. Dinner will be ready and on the table in 5 minutes."
Angel went upstairs and knocked on every ones door and telling them to be down stairs in 5 minutes or they'll go without. Within a few minutes you could hear doors opening and closing and then what sounded like a heard of elephants running down the stairs. As though in response to a signal the women started bringing in the food. Every one sat down and Cordelia gave Angel a large mug of blood that she had seasoned with chili powder and other seasonings that Dr. Martin had suggested. They ate in silence for a few minutes.
"Wesley did you find anything out about that guy that attacked us this morning?"
"No, their was nothing on him that would tell us who he was or why he attacked. The only thing we found out was that he was half human and half demon. What type of demon though we couldn't tell."
"Lets hope then that it was an isolated incident. Just to let you guys know I've invited the Sunnydale gang down here for a couple of weeks. Dr. Martin wanted another Vampire to test so Spike will be with them. Buffy said she would call me back tonight to let me know when they would be here." Angel said.
"That means we have to get 5 rooms ready. Fred and I could use some help. We have enough rooms that have been straightened up with beds and furniture. But they need to be vacumed and dusted. The beds have to be made and the bathrooms have to be stocked. Tomorrow Fred and I will be going shopping along with anyone else that would like to volunteer to help us. Someone like Gunn and Connor maybe."
"Uh Cordelia, I am going to need Fred tomorrow to take me to church. It's Sunday you know. Doesn't anyone go to Church?" Dr. Martin asked. No one said anything.
"I would think that you guys would go frequently since you are always fighting evil. Have you ever thought of asking for Gods help?" Once again no one said anything. "Shame on you. All of you. So many times people don't want to have anything to do with Christ unless they want something from Him. Or to blame Him for something. Cordelia I know that both you and Angel were raised in the Catholic Church. I can understand Angel but you have no excuse. Why don't you attend. I would think that you would pray for Angel everyday." Dr. Martin was mad. They could all tell so they all kept silent. They knew that they could not offer any acceptable excuse. Dr. Martin just looked at all of them. She stood up from her chair.
"Fred please be ready by 6 am. Mass starts at 9. We will need that time to get out to the church that we stopped at in the valley the other day. You can use the car for the rest of the day to do what ever you want. Angel we won't be back until 3 in the afternoon. The priest that works at the Church is an old friend of mine and I would like to visit with him for awhile. Cordelia please call me when your ready to go to bed."
With that said Dr. Martin left to go upstairs. Everyone was silent.
"Yeah Cordelia it's all your fault. You should set a good example for the rest of us." Gunn said. Fred slapped him on shoulder.
"What are you hitting me for?" Gunn asked.
"Because your making fun of Dr. Martin. She was right we should be going to Church every Sunday. Before I left home we went to Church every Sunday. I made my First Holy Communion and Confirmation at the same Church I was baptized at. Even in Pylea I made a string of beads so that I could say the Rosary every day. Christ was my only companion when I was in my cave." Fred said.
"So why haven't you been going since you came back?" Gunn asked.
"Because I fell into bad company when I came back. Namely you people."
"Well I guess we better get busy with the dishes so we can start on those rooms. If every one pitches in we can have them ready by the time we turn in." Cordelia said as she got up and started clearing the dishes.
They were done with everything by 10 that night. Angel went to his room and took another shower. He had a lot of dust on him from cleaning the rooms. Cordelia had him using a dust mop to get all of the cob webs that were in the corners. When he started complaining she said to him
"That's what you get for being tall."
Cordelia went to her room to take a shower. When she was done she went to Dr. Martins room to let her know that they were going to bed now. Dr. Martin grabbed the heart monitor and they both went to Angels room. Cordelia knocked on the door before going in. She didn't want to catch him in his birthday suit. Angel told them to come in. Cordelia and Dr. Martin opened the door and went in.
"All ready to go to bed Angel?" Dr. Martin asked as she set up the heart monitor on the stand next to the bed. Cordelia had gone to the other side of the bed and was watching everything Dr. Martin was doing.
"Okay Angel you can get in bed now." Dr. Martin backed away from the bed so that Angel could get into the bed and under the covers. She then sat down on the bed next to Angel. She took the tabs that had wires leading to the monitor and placed them on specific places on Angels chest.
"It's a good thing you don't have any hair on your chest. The men that do can be heard all over the hospital when we take them off. Tomorrow night put them on in the same place as I did Cordelia. Now all you have to do is turn the monitor on. And that's all. Tomorrow morning when you remove the tabs turn the machine off and tear off the paper and leave it in my room on the dresser. Okay?"
"Got it." Cordelia said.
"Lets tuck him in now so that he'll be nice and comfy." Angel held his arms up and let them put the cover up and under them. Dr. Martin pulled the cover up carefully and had the wires coming out of the top and over the pillow by Angels head. She tucked in the sheet and blanket on her side and Cordelia did the same. Angel was loving this treatment. It reminded him of when he was a little boy and his mother would tuck him in at night. He had a far away look on his face as he remembered his mother.
"What are you thinking about? You look like your mind is a million miles away." Dr. Martin said as she finished tucking in her side of the bed. "I was thinking of my mother and how she used to tuck me in like you did."
"How old were you when she died?"
"I was 12 yrs. old." "How old was she when she died?" Dr. Martin asked.
"I don't know. All I know is that she became sick and within a week she was dead."
"What about your sister. Who took care of her when your mother died?"
"My father hired a maid that took care of her. Within a year he remarried. She was a good woman. She loved my sister and gave her all the love that she could even though Kathy wasn't her own. I missed my mother for a long time. I remember having a hard time falling to sleep for a month after she died. My father made me work for long hours in the fields and even though I was dead tired I still had a hard time falling asleep."
Dr. Martin got up from the side of the bed and walked over to the other side and laid down beside him and put her arm under his neck.
"How's this, is this what your mother used to do?"
All this time Cordelia was sitting in the corner watching Angel and Dr. Martin. He seemed like a little boy again that loved to have his mother baby him.
"Yes, then she would sing me the Irish Lullaby. She had a beautiful voice. She sang it softly until I would fall asleep." With out realizing it Angels Irish accent was starting to come through.
"Okay close your eyes and pretend you're a little boy in Ireland again." She said this as softly as she could and began to sing the lullaby.
She continued like this until he fell asleep. She got up from the bed as carefully as she could. Her arm hurt from holding him for so long. His head was a lot heavier then a 12 year old. Dr. Martin checked the monitor and turned the lights out. Cordelia made sure the curtains were closed properly and they left the room. Cordelia turned around and put her arms around Dr. Martin and said "Thank you, I think that was the best present anyone ever gave Angel in all of his 250 plus years." When she pulled away the doctor could see a trail of tears going down Cordelia's cheek.
"Your welcome. I loved doing it. Goodnight Cordelia."
The next morning Cordelia came down from her room after checking on Angel and picking up the read out from the heart monitor. He had apparently been up for awhile. His bed was made and an empty bag of blood was in the trash. Dr. Martin and Fred of course were already gone since it was well after 9 am. She went down stairs and heard a loud bang in the main kitchen. When she looked in to see what made the loud noise she saw someone with a large cooking kettle over their head. Angel and Gunn were on either side trying to get the kettle off of him. They weren't having too much success though since they were laughing so hard they could hardly stand. Angel was bent over he was laughing so hard. When he looked up he saw Cordelia looking at them.
"Are we having fun boys?" She emphasized the word boys because that's what they looked like right now. Gunn and Angel quickly tried to remove the kettle from Wesley. As big and strong as they were they couldn't get the kettle off of Wesley.
"Hey guys I think I'm stuck." Cordelia came over to access the situation.
"Your going to have to turn him upside down so that I can pour some oil down around his arms." She went to get a bottle of oil from the smaller kitchen by the dinning room. By the time she got back Gunn and Angel had Wesley upside down and were holding onto his feet. Cordelia poured the oil down around Wesley's shoulders and they stood him up again.
"Don't try to pull it off yourself Wesley. Let Angel and Gunn pull it off of you. Okay?"
"Okay." Wesley answered.
When they pulled at the kettle it came right off.
"How in the world did you get that on you?" Cordelia asked.
"I'll tell you later. I have to take a shower and change." Wesley's face was beet red because Angel and Gunn were laughing so hard they were on the floor. As soon as Wesley left and she heard him go up the stairs she busted out laughing.
"What in heavens name was he doing with that kettle on his head?"
"We don't know. We'll have to ask him when we see him later. Gunn and I were taking some of these big kettles in to the basement for storage. When we came back we saw him like that. He couldn't get it off so he kept on running into things as he tried all different ways to get it off."
"Well I'm going downstairs to start washing sheets and towels. If anyone has anything they want washed you can bring them down now so that means play time is over." Cordelia then headed downstairs to start a load of wash. Angel came down in a few minutes with an arm load of sheets, towels and clothes.
"Gunn said he didn't have anything because Fred had just washed the other day." Angel said as he put the his dark clothes in one pile and sheets and towels in another.
"Cordelia looked at the sudden piles of laundry and shook her head and said "Angel you are the cleanest Vampire I've ever known. I could swear that I had just put those towels in your bathroom on Friday. You can't tell me they're that dirty."
Angel walked back to Cordelia. She was afraid he was going to do something that would make her lose control. As he approached her she backed up until she backed up into the table they used for folding the clothes.
Angel picked up her hands and kissed them gently. All the time he was doing this he was looking into her eyes. He slowly went up her arm. He kissed her wrists then the inside of her arm and slowly traveled up her arm and then to her shoulder. As Cordelia stared into his eyes then watched him traveling up her arm with soft kisses. She felt her heart start to beat faster as she became mesmerized by his careful attention to each kiss. As he traveled from the left shoulder and to the right he gently kissed her lips then went to her neck and right below her ear he licked the soft young skin. He felt her body shudder from pleasure instead of fear. His mouth traveled to the soft skin below her ear and licked it and gave it a light bite. Cordy almost collapsed. If it hadn't been for the table she was almost laying on she would have fallen to the floor. Her legs felt like rubber and where almost unable to support her. As Angel held her close to him he lifted his mouth to her ear and whispered very softly.
"This is only a small sample of what I am going to do tonight. Tonight I will show you why some women would gladly give up their immortal soul to spend another night with a Vampire." As he pulled back from her he knew that he had accomplished the desired affect on her. Cordelia's eyes were still closed and she held her head back as though inviting him to continue.
"I want everything to be perfect Cordelia. I want the sheets to be as white as snow and as soft as the softest downy feathers and when we lie on them I want them to smell as though we were lying on a bed of roses." He kissed her gently once more. Then released her and turned away and left.
As Cordelia regained her composure she stood up. Put her hand on her neck and said out loud. "Hot dam. My heart is pounding hard enough to make up for both of us." She grabbed a wash cloth and ran cold water over it then wrung it out and wiped the back of her neck.
"No wonder Darla wanted him back so bad." She put the wash rag back on the pile of towels and returned to loading the washing machine. Except now she didn't care about cleaning the dirty laundry. Now she just wanted to stop thinking about what was going to happen tonight.
Cordelia started the washing machine then went up stairs to get some coffee and toast. It was already 2 in the afternoon. By 3 pm, as Dr. Martin promised, they came walking through the back door. Angel, unfortunately, just happened to be downstairs. He looked at his watch. Wesley came out of his office at the same time.
"Look at that Wesley. There really is women that can come back at the exact time that they said they would. It's not a myth. Maybe we should have them checked out to see if they have a spell on them. Maybe there is a prophecy about this. Quick Wesley lets check your books. There must be something about this in there." Angel and Wesley were both laughing by now.
"Maybe you should let it go or your going to be playing by yourself tonight." Cordelia said.
Angel came over to Cordelia. He took her hand and kissed it.
"I am truly sorry Cordelia. Do you forgive me?" Angel put on his best puppy dog face. Cordelia, as planned, melted and gave in.
"Okay your forgiven. Just don't bug me anymore about it okay?" "Yes Cordelia, I promise."
When she turned her back he made choking gestures like it just about killed him to say it. Cordelia saw Wesley laughing and she turned real fast to look at Angel and caught him. He straightened up a little to late. She tried giving him a serious face but she just couldn't help it when she saw the look on his face when she turned and caught him. She laughed at him.
"Your terrible. If I wasn't looking forward to it also you would be playing by yourself tonight." "Yes Cordelia, thank you Cordelia. My precious love, my sweet, my turtle dove."
"Your pathetic." Cordelia turned and went back downstairs.
"Phew, that was close." Angel said as he made out like he was wiping sweat from his brow.
He turned and ran upstairs before he could get into anymore trouble.
Fred and Dr. Martin went upstairs. Dr. Martin went to her room to take a nap. Fred went to Angels. She knocked on the door.
"Come in Fred." She opened the door and went to the table and put the bag down. Well here are all the things you asked for." She took the shrimp out of the bag and put them in the refrigerator right away then looked around the room and how Angel had it fixed up. He had 2 or 3 dozen yellow roses on the table and a beautiful crochet doily on the table under the roses.
"This is beautiful Angel. Where did you get it?" Fred was looking at the fancy doily that had many ruffles in it. The ruffles stood up straight and the yarn was a bicolor of white and a soft yellow. She knew very few people knew how to make these anymore.
"It's one of the few things that I have left from my mother. Fortunately Darla liked it and took it when Angelus and her left the farm after killing everyone. I don't know how I came to have it but I know that it was my mothers. It's a real bear to iron. You have to use heavy starch then it can take an hour just to iron."
"You're a man of many talents Angel."
"Well, how do you like the way everything is set up?" Angel asked.
"Angel if she doesn't break down crying at how much attention and thought you have given to every detail then she doesn't deserve you."
"I'm the one that doesn't deserve her. I've never been so happy before. I've never loved anyone like I love Cordy. Not even my love for Buffy comes close to this. When I'm with her Fred I forget about Angelus and all of the guilt I associate with that name. She makes me feel like I am human again."
"Angel I wish all of the happiness in the world for you and Cordelia." Fred stood on her toes and gave Angel a kiss on his cheek. Then she left so he could start fixing their dinner.
Fred went downstairs to talk to Wesley. She found him in his office as usual doing research.
"Can I talk to you for a minute if your not busy?" Fred asked Wesley. He looked up at her at that point and said "yes, come in I was just doing research but nothing important."
"Wesley have you and Willow ever tried to translate the Gypsy curse that's on Angel?"
"Yes we have, but we haven't been able to translate the language yet. We have been able to translate a few words here and their but not the whole thing. Why are you asking?"
"I want to help Cordelia and Angel. They've gone through so much and they've finally admitted there love for each other. Now all because of that Gypsy curse they can't consummate their love."
"Yes I want to help them to, but Willow and I are stuck. We can't interpret the spell and we've searched every where that we can think of."
"I think we should talk to Dr. Martin about it and if she can't help them I can talk to a friend of mine that works at UCLA."
"Yes she seems to be helping Angel a lot and maybe she can give us a different perspective on this problem." Wesley watched Fred. He was thinking to himself how odd things always worked out. Fred couldn't make up her mind about him and Gunn. He had made his feelings known to Fred but she still couldn't seem to let go of Gunn. He had decided to back off instead of crowding her and forcing her to make a decision. Lately a rift had developed between Gunn and Fred and it seemed to start after the incident with her former professor. Fred was now coming back with Dr. Martin so Wesley stood up and directed Dr. Martin to the chair in front of his desk as Fred took the other one.
"Has Fred told you what we wanted to talk to you about?"
"Yes, I wanted to talk to both of you about it at the same time. I have been told by St. Michael that Angels soul will be made permanent by the time that I leave if he makes the right decisions." Dr. Martin leaned back in her chair after giving them this bit of information. Fred and Wesley looked at each other.
"What decision or choices?" Wesley asked.
"I can't tell you anymore then that and I only told you that much so that you wouldn't continue to search for something that won't be needed."
"So you are confident that he will come out of this with his soul permanently fixed." Wesley said.
"Yes I do. I think I know him well enough now to say he will succeed. I hope that we have gone through the worst part already but you never know for sure until you've been through the whole thing. As I peel back the many layers that make up the man that you know as Angel other problems may appear. Right now I'm performing medical tests on him."
"Medical tests, what kind of test could you possibly run here?" Wesley asked.
"That's between Angel, Cordelia and his Doctor. By tomorrow morning though I should have very good news or just good news for Angel and Cordelia." Dr. Martin said.
"Now that, that is out of the way, lets talk about what is going on between you, Fred and Gunn."
Cordelia went upstairs to join Angel then she turned and went downstairs. She had forgotten to get the most important item that they were going to need tonight. Cordelia knocked on Wesley's office door.
"Come in." Wesley said.
Cordelia opened the door and saw Fred and Dr. Martin. "Dr. Martin can I see you for a minute." Dr. Martin got up and excused herself. "I'll be right back, please, don't leave." She said to Fred and Wesley.
"Lets go to my room. I have the supplies in my room." Cordelia and Dr. Martin went to her room. The supplies were on the dresser that was right by the door. Dr. Martin gave her the supplies and reminded her how to put the sensors on Angel.
"As soon as you can, bring me the jar. I know I told you it could wait until tomorrow morning but I thought about it and I think it would be better to check it as soon as possible. This way their won't be any question as to whether time played a factor in the results."
"So you want me to wake you if your asleep." "Yes most definitely." Dr. Martin said.
Dr. Martin looked at Cordelia and gave her a hug and kissed her on her cheek. "Good luck." "Thank you." Cordelia answered.
They walked back down the hall. Cordelia stopped at Angels door and Dr. Martin went downstairs to rejoin Fred and Wesley. Cordelia knocked on the door. No answer. She knocked again and called his name. Still no answer so she opened the door and walked in. The lights were out and only a few candles and a beautiful green oil lamp that was on the table were lit. As she walked into the room she saw that their was a note on the bed by a beautiful white nightgown. She turned the lamp up and read the note. The note was written on beautiful paper that used to be called onion paper. She noticed that Angel had very clear and beautiful handwriting.
'Your bath has been prepared. Take your time and relax. After you dry yourself off use the powders I have left you on the counter. Leave your hair down. Put the nightgown on that I left you before you leave the bathroom. Wait for me, I will come to you tonight.' He simply signed it Angel.
Her heart started to beat faster just thinking about what was to come. She picked up the nightgown and went into the bathroom, she put her hand in the bathtub water to see if the water was still warm. It was a little cool so she added more hot water. Cordelia quickly disrobed and slipped into the warm bubble bath. Angel had added her favorite bubble bath powder. She could almost fall asleep here it felt so good. Her muscles were sore from all of the work of getting the rooms ready for the Scoobie gang. She was anxious to get on to the special evening that Angel had promised her though so she started to wash her hair. She took special care with her hair and makeup. Angel had set out the powder that he wanted her to use. On the bathroom counter he had also left a blood red bra and panties. The panties were so small though they could hardly be called that. She looked at the tag just out of curiosity and found what she suspected. Victory Secrets. She had always said that Angel had excellent taste in clothes and his choice in women's underwear was no exception. Cordelia put them on and then the white flowing nightgown. She checked herself out in the mirror. Everything was perfect. She opened the bathroom door and found that she was still alone. The room was still lit only by the candles and oil lamp but now the bedding had been turned down and their was a red rose on the pillow. She sensed someone was watching her. When she turned around she couldn't see anyone. "Angel" she called out. No answer. She went to the balcony and opened the double doors. Still no Angel. She left the doors open and went to the refrigerator after turning the lights on. She found a small salad already made, a bowl of shrimp scampi and a glass of iced tea. After warming up the shrimp scampi she set everything on the table and sat down to eat. It was obvious that Angel wasn't going to join her for dinner.
After she finished her dinner she put the plates in the sink to wash them. When she was done she turned the lights off and turned the TV on and sat down in Angels favorite chair. She took her slippers off and tucked her legs under her. She looked at the clock, it was 10:30 pm. She trusted Angel to be here. He had never let her down. By 11 o'clock she was asleep and still curled up on the chair.
All this time Angel had been in Cordelias room and waited for her to fall asleep. He was listening carefully. He heard her call out for him when she entered the room. When he heard her get into the bubble bath he went to the room and pulled one corner of the sheets, blankets and quilt down. He folded the covers down neatly then placed the deep red rose on the pillow and left. He went back to Cordelia's room and waited for her to get out of the bathroom. By 11 o'clock he could hear her heart slow down as she fell asleep. He then checked the hallway to see if anyone was coming down the hallway. No one was there so he went to his rooms and carefully opened the door. He saw her sleeping in his chair so he turned off the TV, blew out the oil lamp and left only 2 candles lit. He wanted very little light in the room.
Angel went to Cordelia and kissed her softly so that she wouldn't be frightened. He kissed her again when she didn't wake up. Her eyes started to move back and forth under her eyelids. Angel backed up and stood on the balcony with his back to the city lights and his hands on the balcony doors.
Cordelia opened her eyes. Although she couldn't see his face she sensed that it was Angel. She remembered what he had said to her this afternoon and she intended to play her part all the way. She sat up straight and put her hands in her lap. She was trying to look as innocent as possible.
"I've been waiting for you, where have you been? I thought you wouldn't come back tonight. I did all the things you said to do. I took a bath in the bubble bath you prepared for me. I want to thank you for that. It felt good. I was sore from all of the work. I washed and rinsed my hair with the conditioner that you said you liked the way it made my hair smell and feel." She walked over to him and kissed him and then rubbed her head against his face in such a way that he could smell and feel her hair.
"Are you pleased?"
"Yes." Angel could barely control himself. He wanted her so bad. He also knew she was trying to drive him crazy with desire for her. It was working.
She kept flipping her hair back and giving him easy access to her neck. She proceeded to unbutton three of the buttons on his shirt.
"I'm wearing the blood red panties and bra you laid out for me." He still didn't react in anyway that she could see and he still didn't move from the position he was in when she first woke up. She continued to unbutton his shirt. He looked down at her hands as she continued to unbuckle his belt and the top button of his pants then pulled his shirt out of his pants and unbuttoned it the rest of the way. As she opened his shirt she ran her fingers over his chest, just lightly touching him. She then reached around to his back and ran her fingers up to where she knew his tattoo was. Cordelia thought that tattoo was so sensual. Sometimes just thinking about it was enough to get her hot. All the time she was running her hands on his back she was kissing his chest and lightly nipped at his nipples. She started to take his jacket and shirt off and tossed them to the side. She had to get him over to the bed so she could put the tabs on him and then attach the wires to the heart monitor.
She looked to the bed and saw that the moonlight was hitting it just right. With her hands still on him she circled him until she was at his back. She lowered her head until her mouth was just above his belt. She kissed the area softly then took a deep breath and blew softly on his back as she slowly went higher up his back and along his spine. He gave an involuntary shudder. She thought to herself, I'll have to remember that little experiment. While she was still standing in back of him she ran her hands to his front and while giving light kisses to his back she ran her hands over his well muscled chest and stomach. She started to reach further down and under the top of his pants. Before she could go to far Angel moved his right hand over hers and said very quietly so that she barely heard him.
"No, not yet."
He then put his hand back on the door. Now Cordelia was starting to get frustrated so she came around in front of him and flipped her hair back again and stood on her toes to reach his ear. She licked it and bit it lightly. She ran her hands lightly over his chest again then turned and went to the bed. She started to unbutton the top of her nightgown. Once again Angel spoke.
"No, I'll do that."
For some reason she felt herself responding to each of his commands without question or hesitation. Angel brought his hands down and closed the doors, locked them and closed the heavy drapes carefully. He turned then and walked to her slowly. Cordelia could swear their was a light coming from his eyes. She felt like she was hypnotized by his eyes and voice. She just stood there with her hands at her sides as Angel proceeded to put his arm around her waist and pulled her to him and kissed her. Softly at first then with more passion. He pulled back and looked into her eyes and began to undress her slowly. When she wanted to assist him he simply said no and she obediently put her hands back down to her sides. Angel began to unbutton her nightgown. He put his hands around her head and with his thumbs he gently pushed her head up so that her eyes met his. With his lips gently brushing against hers he kissed her softly. He pushed her hair back and continued to kiss her left ear and then down to her neck where he licked the soft skin. It reminded Cordelia of a lion licking the fur of an animal that it had just killed, just before it made it's first bite into the warm flesh. He could hear her heart start to beat faster. It was more like she was afraid.
Angel turned his attention back to her nightgown and unbuttoned the last one so that it could fall over her hips. Then taking her right arm he unbuttoned the cuffs, then the left one. Once again Cordelia attempted to assist him and once again he simply said no. She just put her hands down and obeyed him without question. He liked her immediate response to his simple commands. Once again he put his hands on either side of her face. At first his kisses where soft and he just barely brushed his lips against hers. They then progressed into more passionate kisses and he put all of his 250 years of experience into it. Cordelia's nightgown fell all the way to the floor and her arms where free to put around him. She was afraid that he would tell her to stop again but he didn't instead he pursued her mouth more hungrily. When he pulled back from her he had a glazed look in his eyes. He seemed to be fighting to get control of himself.
"What's wrong?" Angel had swayed and would have collapsed if she hadn't been holding onto him.
"Im okay. Im okay. Angelus is just trying to make trouble for us. But I am not going to let him interfere. So if I space out once in awhile it means I am just having words with him again." He smiled at her. "I believe we left off right about here." He kissed her again and with his right hand he unhooked her bra. He slowly went to his knees as he kissed her lips then her neck and slowly traveled down to her breasts kissing each one lightly and giving her right nipple a light nip. He then went to the left and did the same but then he licked it and started to suckle. He put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him so that she couldn't move. Cordelia gave a soft moan and put her arms around his head as though she was holding a baby to her breast. Angel put his Vampire face on which made his eye teeth become longer. He lightly punctured the skin around the nipple and began to suckle again. He didn't suck on it very hard just enough to get a small stream of blood. Cordelia's head fell back and she said his name over and over again.
After a few minutes Angel drew back and licked the trickle of blood that was left behind.
"I can't believe how sensual that feels." Cordelia said. Angel looked into her eyes and said "its only the beginning my love." He got up from his knees and picked her up and placed her on the bed. As he stood next to the bed he started to undress the rest of the way. Cordy had already taken his jacket and shirt off. She watched him then sat up and said "let me do it." She stood up from the bed and unzipped his pants and pulled his pants and shorts down together around his knees. She pushed him down onto the bed and took his shoes and socks off and then pulled his pants off the rest of the way. She could see that he was ready for her. When she kissed him she placed her hands on his chest and was reminded of the heart monitor and sensors. She stopped and put the white sensors on the appropriate positions on his chest and turned the monitor on. She then got on the bed and straddled him. She still had her panties on so Angel unsnapped the straps and removed it without her having to get up.
"I see why you went shopping at Victoria Secrets." He just grinned and ran his hand between her legs and felt her inviting warmth and the moisture at her opening. Her whole body beckoned him to enter her. She raised her hips and took him in slowly. She tightened her muscles around him and slowly went up and down on him. Angel reached up and started to play with her breasts but she grabbed his wrists and held them down on the pillow. She liked this position with her in control. She kissed him while holding his arms back. Her mouth pushed his lips apart and she thrust her tongue into his mouth playing with his. All the time she was kissing him her hips went up and down. She stopped for a moment. She didn't want this first time to end to soon.
"I love you Angel. I love you so much that even if we could never have intercourse it wouldn't make any difference because I love Angel the man. I didn't inspect Angel Junior first then start loving you. What you did to me a moment ago was so sensual. If I were to tell women what you did and how it felt women wouldn't be looking for male vampires to stake they would be looking for them to have sex." Angel laughed. She kissed him again and started to go up and down on him faster, but this time Angel grabbed her hips and made her slow down. He didn't want it to end to soon either. He raised her up and withdrew from her. He put her to his side and started to kiss her all over. He was restrained from moving to much because of the wires hooking him up to the heart monitor. Some how he managed to reach most of her body with his lips. This time he latched onto her right breast and did the same as he had done to the left one. Cordelia was going crazy. She wanted him so bad.
"I want you inside of me Angel. He could see that she was ready to climax but instead of doing what she wanted he slowed down and just kissed her lightly.
"Cordelia do you trust me?" "Yes Angel you know I do." "I'm going to give you now what I had promised this afternoon. Don't be afraid I'll be very careful." "Okay Angel. I trust you. You know that don't you?" "Yes but I had to ask." He reached for her hips and raised them so that he could more easily enter her. He started to pump her slowly then he lowered his head and kissed her lips then his kisses traveled down to her neck. He licked it several times then put on his Vampire face and bit down hard and started to suck her blood. At the same time he was continuing to pump her. Not for himself but for her. As she climaxed she almost screamed. It was like fireworks going off inside of her. He put his hand over her mouth so that she wouldn't make so much noise. He withdrew his teeth and licked the wound then started to thrust into her harder. This time it was for himself and Dr. Martins sample. As he was pumping her he called out to her.
"Cordelia I hope you can reach that jar because I am about to give Dr. Martin her sample." It took her a moment to realize what he was saying. She reached for the jar and pulled herself out from under him. She barely got the jar to him in time before he climaxed and quickly filled the jar. Cordelia put the cap on. She laid on the floor for a good 15 minutes before she had the strength to get up and put her nightgown back on and take the jar to Dr. Martin. She knocked on the door several times before it opened. Dr. Martin had her robe on and was wiping the sleep from her eyes.
"Here it is." Dr. Martin took it from Cordelia.
"Wow that must have been a good one from the looks of you."
"I look forward to telling you about it. Prepare yourself though because it was a whopper. Your going to want to go and get a Vampire of your own when I get through telling you about it." Cordelia then left and headed back for Angels rooms. She found him lying on his back and across the bed. When he heard her come in he raised his head and looked at her.
"I hope she doesn't drop it because I don't ever want to have to do that again. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. He turned over on his stomach then and went to sleep. Cordelia took her nightgown off again and pulled the covers up around him. She then blew out the rest of the candles and crawled in beside him. They didn't wake up until 9 am the next morning.
