Part 7

Buffy jerked awake when she heard the door click open, her instincts kicking in, she lay dead still. She relaxed as she felt it was just Angel coming in. She didn't let on that she was awake though.

She felt him sit on the end of his bed, she couldn't see what he was doing because she was rolled over with her back to him. She slowly rolled onto her back keeping her eyes closed, hoping that she could fool him, and find out what he was doing.

He stood and pulled back the covers and slid in, Buffy didn't move or do anything as his foot brushed past hers. He moved quite close and cuddled up next to her, but didn't touch her, like he didn't want to over step his bounds, or touch 'something' by accident.

"They weren't for Riley," her mouth had runaway from her, before she could stop it voicing her guilty thoughts.

"What wasn't for Riley?" he queried, puzzled by her unexpected comment.

"The underw - lingerie, I didn't have it for him, he never saw me in it," for some reason she needed him to know that.

His face gave away nothing of his feelings to her.

"I got rid of all his stuff when he left,. I guess I didn't want him to come back," she mused aloud.

Angel didn't say anything and just nodded.

She wasn't sure if she had expected him to say anything. Buffy gently took his hand and pulled his arm around her waist as she rolled over and he cuddled up closer to her. With her back against his bare chest he held her securely against him, nuzzling the back of her neck and revelling at their closeness.

He took a deep breath and Buffy thought he was going to say something but he was just sighing softly and her hair tickled her cheek as he breathed out again. She couldn't help the grin that spread across her face, as they lay together, it had been so long since they had done that, and it filled her with a warmth that spread through her whole body.

Angel broke the silence that seemed to have consumed them both.

"So,. you got a bra that matches those undies?" he teased.

Buffy chuckled and slightly elbowed him in the ribs.

"Ahh! Cut, ooh got a cut there," he winced as her elbow connected with a deep gash on his ribs.

"Oh God!! I'm Sorry, I didn't mean to-" staying in the circle of his arms she turned to face him apologising.

He pulled down the covers to show her what it was when she sat up. She grimaced. "I'm sorry, I didn't-"

" - Know. It's okay," he finished for her as he put a hand on her arm to stop her. She turned and smiled at him, then she turned back to his wound and lowered her head and gently kissed it.

"Oooh, it's suddenly painless,"

She giggled turning back to him.

"Is there anywhere else that hurts?" she softly teased.

He feigned thought for a moment and then pointed to his cheek.

She leaned over him and softly kissed his cheek.

"It's hurts here too," he pointed to the other cheek, and she kissed it too.

"And here," he touched his nose. She kissed it.

"And, I think it hurts up here too, yeah," he put his hand to his forehead, watching her lean over him and she softly kissed his forehead. Pulling back slightly, she looked him in the eyes, waiting for her next instructions.

"It- hurts. the most, here," he put a finger to his lips.

She lowered her head and brushed her lips ever-so-slightly against his moist ones, savouring the feel, neither one quickened the pace of the touch, she rested her lips gently on his, not moving, holding the moment at their lips. Buffy finally kissed him and he returned the soft kisses. Slowly enjoying the sensual tasting of the other. It seemed like an eternity before they broke away, the need for air finally getting the better of the kiss.

Buffy smiled warmly down at him, revelling in their kiss. She shifted to lie back down again in his arms, facing him with her arms trapped between them and their faces almost touching. Angel slowly caressed her back, feeling the warmth of her skin emanating through the fabric, as she fell back asleep again.
