Buffy still laid in the bed. She was feeling better by the second. Although she was sore from the previous events that Angelus endured on her. Buffy closed her eyes, at the thought, she couldn't believe that she ha done that. IT was the only way to get her powers back faster. He was gentler than she thought he was going to be with her. She didn't know what Angel was going to say to her when they restored his soul.
Would he mad? Uncomfortable? Maybe he wouldn't remember. Buffy shrugged. Hoping that would be it.
Buffy blinked lazily and yawned. She yanked her arm, where the handcuffs were. They were so tight around her tiny wrist, that Buffy saw was already starting to bruise. Buffy saw the bed post wobble, and heard a soft crack.
A grin appeared to Buffy's face, she could feel her power come back to her. She could finally defend herself to Angelus. Buffy knew she couldn't kill him. She could never. Whether he was Angelus or not. She loved him. She was disturbingly attracted to him. Buffy shook off the thoughts. The thoughts that played in her mind, of the pleasure, he had given to her.
Buffy was finally able to yank the hand cuffs off from the bed post. The dark stained bed post broke in many pieces. Buffy quickly got up from the bed, and looked down at the broken pieces on the floor.
"That probably was expensive." Buffy said to herself. Buffy shrugged. "Oh. Well."
Buffy stepped out of his elevator and walked into his office. She looked around, and saw the lights had been shut off. 'Oh great' she thought to herself. Buffy stepped out of his office, and walked into the lobby.
Buffy looked round as she walked down the halls of W&H, she didn't know where to go. She thought she could sense him, feel him somehow, but there was nothing.
"It's like a rat maze in here." Buffy muttered under her breath. Buffy rounded another corner and went into another room. Another office, she assumed. Buffy could barely see anything. This was not going the way she had hoped. She didn't know where anybody was. Didn't know where Spike was, he could help her right now.
Buffy was just about to leave when she heard his deep voice.
Angelus' lips curve into a taunting smile, and Buffy's legs became weak, at the sound of his voice. "Going somewhere, Buff?"
Buffy finally turned to look at him fully. He was sprawled in the chair near the window, he had his legs propped up on the edge of the desk. It was like he was waiting for her. Like he knew she was coming. His dark eyes were unreadable. The black silk shirt. His shirt was tucked into his trademark leather pants, his coat draped over the back of the chair behind him.
Buffy smiled she couldn't help but look at him. How good he still looked to her. "Good," Buffy said, trying to make this more comfortable, than it already wasn't "It's you."
'As if he didn't smell me coming a mile away.' Buffy thought, making an eww face, she hated that. "You were expecting someone else?" Angelus said, provoking her.. "Actually, You're a much better surprise."
Angelus stood up and met her where she stood. "Is that right?" Angelus trailed his fingers down her face.
She could feel the heat, the warmth that radiated from his skin, feel it through her clothes. And she wanted it, to touch it, to touch him.
Buffy sighed softly and ran her hand lightly up his back, feeling the soft silk of his shirt. He jerked away. He felt a strange closeness to him, something he never thought he would feel. Especially for her. Their eyes met. He pressed his lips together, as if trying to keep from saying something. Pushing away from her, he stepped back quickly. She was enjoying this. Toying with him. It was her turn.
Buffy smiled as he stepped back. "What's wrong lover? Was it good for you too?" Buffy asked using his same words, the he used against her so many years ago.
Aloud he told her, "Like you didn't enjoy it."
"What?" Buffy asked. Making sure she heard him right.
"It just amazes me that you gave it up so quickly to me what it took your boyfriend so long to get a piece of, Lover?"
He backed her against a nearby wall. "I'm not complaining. I'm just trying to make a point."
"So am I." Buffy stood in front of him a second before lunging at him. Angelus didn't see it coming and they both tumbled to the ground.
Buffy had him pinned to the ground. Angelus smirked and looked up at her. "Mmm. De ja vu."
"Shut up." Buffy said. "I'm tired of playing these games with you."
In one quick movement Angelus, kicked her off and Buffy flew into the wall, to Angelus surprise she was right back u again, ready for what was coming next.
"You got your powers back?" Angelus asked circling her. "All thanks to you." Buffy replied. Angelus chuckled. "Glad I could help."
Buffy smiled as she saw him stalking towards her. "It's nothing against you lover…it's not like I haven't been there before." Angelus growled at this. What was she playing? She was using him?
Buffy let Angelus get close. Dangerously close. She loved being this close to him. To Angelus. But she wanted Angel back. The one who she knew loved her. Buffy kneed Angelus in the groin making him drop to his knees as she made her move to get out of his advantage he grabbed the leg that had hit him and pushed it hard to her outer body. He smiled in satisfaction as he heard her yell out in pain as a loud crack echoed in the room from her leg.
"Oh did that hurt lover?" Angelus laughed as he sat down harder on her hips and pulled her wriggling arms above her head. Buffy tried a head butt but Angelus simply dodged his head to the side. "Now. Now. Play nice. I know you don't like it rough"
Angelus lowered the rest of his body mere inches from her skin she found her body arching up to him. "You know what else I don't understand about your boyfriend?"
"What's that?" Buffy asked, struggling against his grasp.
"That he told you all that bull-shit of why you two can't be together, and then he runs off and tries to bang Cordleia."
Buffy let out a breath, he was trying to get to her. It was working and Angelus could tell.
"Then he bangs Nina, just the other day…it's probably nothing personal, I guess Angel came to realize you just don't satisfy like you used to."
Buffy got out of his grasp and kicked off, Buffy quickly stood and went over to him. Buffy grabbed him by the neck, and punched him, sending him flying, hitting the wall, knocking a painting off the wall.
Buffy saw him as he staggered to get up. Angel grabbed the sword off of the wall and walked over to Buffy.
"Okay. I've had just about enough of you." Buffy smiled sweetly as she walked over towards him. "Baby. I'm just getting started."
Angelus smiled. "well. We both know how that will end." Buffy shook her head. "Ugh. Shut up."
Angelus picked Buffy up with on hand, the sword still in the other. Buffy landed with a thud in the hallway quickly getting up, she had to find something to fight him with. She hated weapons. Why couldn't they do it the old fashioned way?
Angelus slowly and deliberately advanced to her holding his sword, Buffy went to swing but he quickly blocked it and shoved her into a glass cabinet that Buffy saw was filled with weapons.
Buffy's back hit the glass as it broke, Angel went for a high kick but Buffy ducked, to Buffy's surprise a sword dropped from the cabinet when she brought herself back up again. Buffy smiled as she grabbed on to it.
She thrusted at him with her sword, but he blocked it and swung around with a thrust of his own, which she also blocked.
Angelus tried another forceful swing from above, but Buffy easily blocked and sidestepped out of the way. They now faced each other in the middle of the lobby. Not taking their eyes off each other.
Angelus tried a swing from above for the third time, and again Buffy ducked it and escaped to the side. She jumped up on the low table that was to he side in front of the couch and swings at him again. He easily blocked it, and swung at her legs. Buffy jumped up and went over his blade and landed on the floor.
Angelus tried for her legs again, but she blocked his attempt with her blade. They traded several swings, and Angelus tries a wide swing again, and this time he succeeded with cutting her superficially on the arm. Angelus took the advantage of her distraction a she held on to he arm to stop the blood.
Angelus came at her with his sword held high, intending to swing from above, but she drops to the floor and rolls out of the way, so he only manages to have his sword hit the table behind her. Buffy kicked his legs out from under him and scrambled back up. He turned to face her still on his knees and swings three times in rapid succession.
Angelus swung a fourth time, and this time Buffy knocked his sword into the table with her block and pinned it there. Angelus backhand her and then punched her in the face, and she spinned away. Angelus pulled the sword from the table and swung it hard at her. Buffy blocked it with hers, and kicked him in the gut, making him double over.
Buffy jumped over him into the clear, and raised her sword to continue the fight. Angelus thrusted, and Buffy blocked it. Angelus then he kicked her in her sword arm, and Buffy stumbled back a step.
Buffy hit the ground and scrambled back to her feet as Angelus slowly advanced.
Buffy spinned around and swung at him, and he blocked her. Buffy's sword bounced off of his and fell with the tip onto the low wall of the window.
Angelus stomped on the blade before she can raise it again and knocked it from her grip. Angelus then spun around and elbowed her in the face, knocking her back into the wall.
Buffy backed up against the wall without her sword while Angelus slowly and deliberately advanced onto her holding his.
Buffy kicked Angelus, and he went flying through his office doors, he hit the floor and rolled to a stop.
Before he can get all the way back to his feet Buffy leaped in and swung her sword at him. He almost missed the block of her blow, and he stepped back to get his footing. They exchanged a few more swings. Angelus missed a block and got sliced on his hand.
Buffy went to swing again, but Angelus grunted and grabbed onto her neck, in a death grip strangle. Buffy dropped the sword, she couldn't breathe. Angelus brought her up from her feet and slammed her onto his desk.
"Okay. Enough. I thought this was cute at first but now it's getting really annoying." Buffy tried to get up but only found herself slammed back on the desk. "Ow." Buffy cried.
Suddenly a magic light from nowhere lit up the room. Buffy turned her head just as Angelus did still holding her down. It was Willow.
Willow's body, and her eyes go black again as a humming noise begins to rise in pitch and volume.
"Vincirei! " Willow said, as she waved her hand in a slow motion.
Green magic energy shot from Willow's hand and formed a band around Angelus's torso, pinning his arms against his body. It glowed with a green light that made Angelus's skin appear green too.
Buffy slowly got up holding her neck not taking her eyes off of Angelus, who seemed powerless.
Buffy walked over to Willow and smiled as she embrace her. "Oh. Will. I'm so happy you're here." Willow smiled. "What miss a chance with Angelus again? Never."
Buffy chuckled." What did you do?" Willow nodded. "Contained her and her powers within a binding field. It puts her in a kind of ... stasis for the time-"
Willow looked at Buffy. "You had sex with him?" Buffy looked at Willow. "What? No. How did you--?"
Willow was about to speak when three others stepped into the office. Wesley, Spike, and Gunn came running in. "Buffy are you alright?"
Buffy nodded. "I'm all good. Willow did the mojo and we're ready." Spike started to smell. "You slept with that little wanker?"
Buffy made a snug face. "Ugh. Only a little." The looks Buffy got she couldn't stand. "Uhh. I got my powers back."
Wesley nodded. "That's more than we wanted to know." Buffy rolled her eyes and turned to Willow. "You sure you can do this?"
Willow nodded. "Yeah. It's like riding a bike, once you do it once, you never forget." Buffy smiled. "Are you worried?"
"Worried? Why would I be worried? Just cause, you know, the whole blood sucking evil grrr thing. And-and the whole sexual attraction thing you two got going for you? No, No, I'm not worried. Do I sound worried?" Willow's hands roamed over her face. "Do-do-do I look worried?" Buffy shook her head and brought her hands down. "No. You look fine." Willow nodded and stepped back. "Okay. I'm going to get ready." Willow stepped away and walked out of the office to bring Angel's soul back.
