Number 10
Feeling No Pain;
It had been three days since Riley and Angel had allow Giles to do his spell to save Willow. Both men seemed to have had the wind knocked out of their sails. But that didn't stop either of them from asking about Willow. She went to see each in turn, taking with her Xander to see Riley and Giles when she saw Angel.
Going to see Riley was fairly simple, she knocked on his hotel room door and he opened it looking at her with a gentle smile on his face. It was as if he knew she was again uncertain. That he must take his time and wait for her to be ready. Willow looked him over worried that what he had given her might have permanently hurt him. But all she saw was his broad bared chest, lose sweat pants giving just enough to the imagination to leave her nearly breathless, and his bare feet. He leaned into the door frame as he waved her in, Xander close behind her. Somehow she got the feeling that he was a statue of some god long forgotten but no less beautiful. All tanned and muscled, she had to drop her eyes so that he could not see the lust in them. She remembered how he had touched her, teased her. Now faced with him alive again, she had no idea what to do, how to react.
Riley was happy to see Willow up and around he had made it by her apartment the day before only to find that she had not yet gone back to it. He was still very tired but anxious to see if she was OK. She looked more than OK, and Riley found it hard to even notice that Xander was there. Until Xander slapped him on the shoulder and whispered to him, "go get her tiger". Riley had to smile at that, Xander had been loyal to him more than Buffy at times. "That's the plan," Riley gave in answer. Xander only grinned and walked over to the TV, flicking it on and reducing the volume. Finding a comfortable spot in front of it he zone out so as not to be into the conversation with Riley and Willow. Riley was thankful for the more or less privacy, and he turned all his attention to Willow. She was fidgeting some and seemed to have found a fascination with her finger nails. "Would you like something to drink", Riley offered. Willow nodded in response, looking for all the world as if she had been asked something else. Riley smiled and turned toward the tiny kitchenette, he walked leading her a little more away from Xander into more intimate area of the hotel room. She followed him, her eyes carefully concealed behind dark lashes. Riley pulled out one of the stools that supplied a sitting area for eating at. Allowing Willow a chance to sit, then he opened the little fridge and asked her what she would want. He had tea, colas and lemonade. Willow opted for the lemonade and he got her drink then his and sat with her.
"So, you feeling better?" Riley asked by way to start the conversation. Willow only nodded, and smiled weakly at him, "I thought you were dead", she stated without preamble. Riley looked thoughtfully at her, he wasn't sure what he should say to that. It was like she was trying to make an excuse for her behavior. He didn't feel she should have to, he wasn't sure what he would have done her in place. Riley just looked at her a moment and then said, " I guess I was, and you had no way of knowing otherwise,". Riley placed one large hand over hers and pulled it to his lips, kissing gently, she looked up at him and saw his love shinning at her. He wanted her to know it didn't matter to him, she was his heart and that was what mattered to him.
Willow looked up at him through her heavy lashes as he showed her how he still felt, her heart warmed to the idea. She wanted so much to curl up in his arms and sob herself silly. Willow wanted nothing more than to make this all so simple, but nothing would be simple now. Riley didn't know it, but part of what he was feeling was the spirit bond that had been forged when Giles had cast his spell to heal her. She swallowed hard and cleared her throat, then looked into his eyes so she could tell him what Giles had told her. She wasn't sure how Riley would react to this news since it meant that he would be sharing time with Willow, and Angel. Looking into the hazel depths of his soul she faltered, Oh I can't do this, she thought. He tilted his head to one angle looking at her wondering what was up, what had her looking like she was terrified.
Willow knew that look and understood she needed to say something soon, the silence was becoming uncomfortable for both of them. "Riley, there is a problem with the way Giles healed me, see he used energy from both you and Angel. You because your living, and Angel because he is immortal, and that is what he wanted for me,was to be living. Oh, I am rambling aren't I." Riley just smiled at her and squeezed her hand that he had never let go of. Willow stumbled on,"But, you see when you do magic like that it makes those involved in the spell, well kinda of linked together." She waited for Riley's reaction, he nodded and thought about it for a moment. "I am not sure I understand Willow, what does that mean?" He seemed worried. Willow could understand that worry she had some of her own. As she went into more detail about what she meant she watched as Riley turned several shades of red but managed to stay quiet long enough for her to finish what she was saying. He remained calm, but she could see in his eyes he was anything but calm. What she had related to him, what had been told to her was almost more than either of them knew how to deal with. When she and Xander left Riley's hotel room he looked stunned, and could only seem to get out simple phrases. As she walked out the door Willow couldn't resist lifting up on her tip toes to give him a kiss on the check. Riley more by instinct than thought out reaction, move so that she kissed his lips instead. The power of the brief touch shot through them both. But neither said a word, she went her way, and he went back inside the room.
Talking to an Angel;
After lunch Willow wanted to talk with Angel too. She felt the need to give them both the information, she had and get it over with. It would be all to soon they would be feeling the effects of what the spell had done to them and she knew there was no way around it. Willow looked at Giles and asked if he would go with her, of course he replied and she was off in a matter of a half hour to see Angel. The drive over she could only think how he might react, she went over again and again what she would say to him. How she would make him understand, they really had no choice. It was already done, and the spell wouldn't have worked if they both hadn't been willing to. These were her thoughts as she went to the dark vampire. Once they arrived she was almost afraid to go to the door. Giles assured her that Angel would be fine, he would deal with it. But Willow just wasn't sure she wanted to face him with this bit of news. No matter if he would take it well or not, that was not the point. Being that close to him, feeling the things she was feeling, it just didn't make a good mix. It seemed dangerous, suddenly she thought maybe she should have called him instead, it would have been so much easier to talk with him over the phone. To not have to see the look on his face when she told him this. Taking a deep breath she walked up to the front door of the mansion and knocked lightly. Something in her head saying that if he didn't hear her knock she would not have to tell him now.
But he heard, the door opened slightly and he walked back into the darkness of the room away from the door, letting her come in on her own. Willow moved inside and closed the door behind her. Giles was still in the car getting something and would be in soon. Angel just looked at her, he was much paler than normal. She wondered if he was OK, or if the event between him, Riley and her had taken to much out of the vampire. Angel smiled tentatively and lead her deeper into the dark of his living room. It was huge and she remember the last time she was here. The near miss he and she had. Oh not good, Willow thought, can't think about nearly naked Angel kissing her. It would through off what she was trying to do. She had to state her information and let him decide for himself. This was not going to be easy, Giles where the heck are you, she thought. Another knock at the door and Giles entered quietly. Walking over to where Willow and Angel were sitting, he handed Angel a small cooler, and nodded. " Here is what you asked me for Angel. I am sorry I didn't get it here earlier." Then Giles sat down and look like he was the only man in an all woman's fashion show. Willow nearly giggled at how uncomfortable he was. It made Angel smile to see her laugh like that and even Giles was somewhat grateful for the tension relief. Angel walked his cooler over to the kitchen and put it away giving Willow a chance to make eye contact with Giles without Angel seeing her. Giles simply nodded his ascent and waited for the bomb to be dropped.
When Angel returned he waved Willow and Giles to the couch and seated himself in one of his very large comfortable chairs. His eyes closely watching the silent exchange between the two in front of him. Willow began by telling Angel about the new connection that was now between him Riley and herself. Angel seemed to be taking it all fairly well, better then Riley had. Though Riley had not said anything in distress, Willow knew by the look on his face, it told her he was pretty upset. But Angel in contrast seemed quiet and thoughtful, he looked at Giles as if to ask if it were true. Not that he didn't believe her but this was more than he had expected. According to what was being said, the three of them were linked in spirit as well as a few other ways. They would need to be close together and if one of them were to be hurt or die, the other two would know the pain of it as well. Then there was the really hard part, they would all be drawn to each other in ways that Angel wasn't sure he liked. Riley and he had already had an attraction to Willow. Now that would be amplified, and would in turn cause them to have to react to the needs forged between them. There would be physical needs that would have to either be met or ignored somehow. Giles was not sure they could be ignored but was willing to give Angel the hope that he could control some of it. Fact was Angel even in his weaken state felt the need to be closer to Willow, he wanted to touch her badly, wanted her to touch him. But that would have to wait until the lines were drawn, until he knew just were he stood. It was with more than a little mental control that he let her leave with Giles again. Angel thought about Riley and wondered if he were feeling the same things. He wondered if Riley would be able to control his reaction to the new magic that was pulling them to her. Angel closed the door lightly behind Willow and Giles as they left, then he walked over to the cooler that Giles had brought in and took out some of the blood he would need to be strong enough to control himself. Finishing the second plastic container he let his thoughts wander back to Riley, and what he may have to do next to make Willow his. He could share if it really came to that, he had done it before with Dru. That of course was with his own childer though. Now it would possibly be with a human, and being that the human was Riley did nothing to help his feelings of jealously. Angel was now in full brood mode as he paced through his mansion.
Dealing;
Riley sat down in front of the little TV in his hotel room and clicked channels faster than even he could see. He wasn't really thinking about the shows on the tube, his thought's were centered around a certain red head that even more had dominion over his mind. She was in every second of his thought processes. Riley knew he needed to talk with her... alone, and soon. He could feel his hands on her body now, and he could taste her on his lips. "Willow" he groaned as he closed his eyes letting the image of her wash over him. Was this what she had meant when she told him that he would feel very strong urges, that his body would demand certain things of him now. The very thought that Angel would be feeling these things too was making him winch in anger. She was not some toy to be played with, and he would never share. It was not in him to do something like that, if he loved someone it was only for her and he would want her to only want him. Now that could never be, worse he would need her, want her beyond reason. Riley was getting a taste of that now, in that he could even hear her moans in his mind, as he mentally caressed her skin. The longer he kept his eyes closed the more real it became to him. He couldn't help buy wonder if she felt it too, would she receive his feelings, his fantasies about her? It was a heady thought but one that didn't seem as impossible as it had before.
Riley decided to test this theory, and he heighten his fantasy in his mind, made it more vivid, let his mind run wild with it. He could do anything in his mind this way. He could see if she could feel him touching her, he could in his mind make love to her and she would not be upset with him. There would be no reason to be upset, since even he knew at this point he could barely contain himself. He wanted her in anyway he could have her and this was a way that she would not object to. Maybe sometime soon he would be with her in reality. He was more than ready for that, but he would wait for her. The feelings were intense, he felt her reach out to him and touch him as well, she was soft and sweet, pulling at his hair, kissing him back. Riley shook his head, "it's all in my mind" he thought, no one could really do those things without actual contact. His mind fell back in to their love scene, he folder his arms around her and entered her body that was willing and wet for him. Over and over again they came together, until all at once they both exploded into light. When Riley finally opened his eyes and began to take note of what was around him again, he could see wetness on him, as if she had been filled with his member. He could taste her on his mouth, and smell her everywhere around him. Riley was at a loss and sat there for long moments, suddenly the phone rang and he went to it. Raising the receiver to his face he said somewhat breathlessly, "yeah, hello". The voice on the other end was just as breathless and came in a low erotic hum, "Riley, the name said almost like a question, Riley only answered, "yes?". Willow nearly whispered back at him through the phone, "I see you have found out one of the links secrets". Riley looked stunned as he thought of Willow feeling the things he had done in the dream, he was erect almost immediently. He felt satisfied, but also worried, how would she take this. Willow spoke again and then hung up to quickly for him to answer, "I am coming over, now Riley, you will be there?" then the swift click of the receiver being let down. Riley was stunned, he stood there for a second then decided he would get a shower. Maybe this link thing wouldn't be so bad he smile to himself. Just maybe this was a good thing after all, then his thoughts glanced over Angel, was he going to be able to do the same things? Riley dismissed this thought for now as he went to get cleaned up. He wondered how long he had before Willow got there, she hadn't said were she was, he hurried.
Needs;
Willow had been in the bath when she felt Riley's touch on her body, in her mind. Wondering what was up, but knowing that Giles had told her there would be a very strong mental connection, she closed her eyes hoping to find out what Riley wanted. She was more than a little aroused when she felt the first tentative touches, his mind was making love to her, and she could feel it as if he were there with her now. She sighed and moaned her pleasure as he ran large hands over her body and kissed her lips. Quick thoughts passed through her mind, (it feels so real, oh my, Riley never said he like that before, and why didn't Giles say something about how strong it would be). Once it was over she was even more surprised to find that she could tell Riley had been there, the signs were pretty clear, she was even sore in places she had not been sore in since her only encounter with Angel. She knew she had to see Riley now, she had to find out if he had felt it too. So she called him, when he answer she could tell something was very different about him, he sounded like he had the encounter as well. Willow only let him know she was coming over and hung up, darting back to her bedroom to get dressed. Even she wasn't sure why she was going to him now. Only that she needed to, it seemed all reason had fled and only need was left.
Fantasy encountered;
Angel shuttered and groaned as if he were in pain, he had felt what Willow had been feeling and knew that Riley had done something to start the vision he had of Willow with him, Angel was only an observer. He wondered how Riley had done it, but thought he knew and didn't want to be left out completely. He was more than aroused and also understood that some of what Riley had done in the fantasy were things that Angel himself would have done if he had been there to do it.
He also wondered if Willow had felt it as intensely as he had. If so then, Willow would be on her way, not being able to control the urge to act out the scene in reality. His mind raced with questions, what should he do, let this pass or act on it also. If Riley had only thought those things and made them seem that real then maybe he could too. He wasn't sure he wanted to test it yet, not knowing how Willow was getting to Riley he thought he would wait. But he would not wait in his home, he would go where he knew Riley was staying and watch to see if she showed up there first. It was close to sunset as he got dressed to go, he waited long enough to let the sun disappear and left moving quickly as he thought about what he would do if she was there, would he stop her from going in, and take her himself. Or should he let her go to Riley and finish what was already started. Once he was in line of sight were he could see her if she showed he didn't have to wait long and she was there. He was glad that he lived closer to where Riley was than she did, it made getting there quicker. If he had been further away he would have missed seeing her and would not have had the chance to say anything to her.
She was walking toward that hotel when Angel stopped her, a hand gently placed on her arm. Willow seemed surprised and smiled at him, her green eyes glowing with need, he knew she had felt it all. She was going to Riley as he thought she would. But he had no idea what to say to her. What to do to make her feel that way toward him again. Willow just looked at him and touched his face. "Angel, she whispered , what are you doing here". He paused for a second and answered, " I am here for you Willow. I am always here for you". Her eyes grew even larger than normal and she leaned into him. He could feel her warm little body so very close to him, as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his face to hers. They stood just outside the hotel and he allowed her to kiss him, exploring her mouth gently, he could feel Riley in the back of his mind, watching them.

The voice on the other end was just as breathless and came in a low erotic hum, "Riley, the name said almost like a question, Riley only answered, "yes?". Willow nearly whispered back at him through the phone, "I see you have found out one of the links secrets". Riley looked stunned as he thought of Willow feeling the things he had done in the dream, he was erect almost immediently. He felt satisfied, but also worried, how would she take this. Willow spoke again and then hung up to quickly for him to answer, "I am coming over, now Riley, you will be there?" then the swift click of the receiver being let down. Riley was stunned, he stood there for a second then decided he would get a shower. Maybe this link thing wouldn't be so bad he smile to himself. Just maybe this was a good thing after all, then his thoughts glanced over Angel, was he going to be able to do the same things? Riley dismissed this thought for now as he went to get cleaned up. He wondered how long he had before Willow got there, she hadn't said were she was, he hurried.
Needs;
Willow had been in the bath when she felt Riley's touch on her body, in her mind. Wondering what was up, but knowing that Giles had told her there would be a very strong mental connection, she closed her eyes hoping to find out what Riley wanted. She was more than a little aroused when she felt the first tentative touches, his mind was making love to her, and she could feel it as if he were there with her now. She sighed and moaned her pleasure as he ran large hands over her body and kissed her lips. Quick thoughts passed through her mind, (it feels so real, oh my, Riley never said he like that before, and why didn't Giles say something about how strong it would be). Once it was over she was even more surprised to find that she could tell Riley had been there, the signs were pretty clear, she was even sore in places she had not been sore in since her only encounter with Angel. She knew she had to see Riley now, she had to find out if he had felt it too. So she called him, when he answer she could tell something was very different about him, he sounded like he had the encounter as well. Willow only let him know she was coming over and hung up, darting back to her bedroom to get dressed. Even she wasn't sure why she was going to him now. Only that she needed to, it seemed all reason had fled and only need was left.
Fantasy encountered;
Angel shuttered and groaned as if he were in pain, he had felt what Willow had been feeling and knew that Riley had done something to start the vision he had of Willow with him, Angel was only an observer. He wondered how Riley had done it, but thought he knew and didn't want to be left out completely. He was more than aroused and also understood that some of what Riley had done in the fantasy were things that Angel himself would have done if he had been there to do it.
He also wondered if Willow had felt it as intensely as he had. If so then, Willow would be on her way, not being able to control the urge to act out the scene in reality. His mind raced with questions, what should he do, let this pass or act on it also. If Riley had only thought those things and made them seem that real then maybe he could too. He wasn't sure he wanted to test it yet, not knowing how Willow was getting to Riley he thought he would wait. But he would not wait in his home, he would go where he knew Riley was staying and watch to see if she showed up there first. It was close to sunset as he got dressed to go, he waited long enough to let the sun disappear and left moving quickly as he thought about what he would do if she was there, would he stop her from going in, and take her himself. Or should he let her go to Riley and finish what was already started. Once he was in line of sight were he could see her if she showed he didn't have to wait long and she was there. He was glad that he lived closer to where Riley was than she did, it made getting there quicker. If he had been further away he would have missed seeing her and would not have had the chance to say anything to her.
She was walking toward that hotel when Angel stopped her, a hand gently placed on her arm. Willow seemed surprised and smiled at him, her green eyes glowing with need, he knew she had felt it all. She was going to Riley as he thought she would. But he had no idea what to say to her. What to do to make her feel that way toward him again. Willow just looked at him and touched his face. "Angel, she whispered , what are you doing here". He paused for a second and answered, " I am here for you Willow. I am always here for you". Her eyes grew even larger than normal and she leaned into him. He could feel her warm little body so very close to him, as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his face to hers. They stood just outside the hotel and he allowed her to kiss him, exploring her mouth gently, he could feel Riley in the back of his mind, watching them.
