Chap 8

I finished my sentence and felt his gaze fall upon me in shock. I avoided his eyes for fear of what he would say, what he would do. I could feel the familiar brewing of tears inside of my eyes and I desperately fought them back, praying that I could hold out just a little longer.

Finally I stole a gaze.

There he sat. His broad muscular frame, hunched over with worry and disbelief, his chocolate brown eyes stared deep into mine, stirring my soul deep inside.

******

"I-I was in heaven."

I played the words over and over in my head; utter disbelief crossed my face as I fought for something comforting to say.

What could I say to a slayer that had just returned from heaven to live in a place like this?

She looked back at me and I stared at her for a long time, her beautiful eyes showed so much pain and grief.

"Oh baby" I sighed and brought her in again for a hug.

The tears fell once more.

"I've come back to hell Angel, I'm in hell." I heard her mutter into my chest as I held her close to me.

I peeled her away from my body and placed a finger under her chin and brought her face up to mine. Slowly, I used my thumbs to brush away the fine salty tears that stained her unblemished skin.

Desire swept through my body and I fought hard to dampen it, once again the burning fire rose up inside of me as I thought of all the times I had kissed her.

******

So the tears fell. I allowed them; well when I say, "allowed" I hardly had a choice but to let them fall from the hidden depths of my soul. I hardly ever cry and when I do, it is more than likely to be in front of Angel.

He looked down on me and swept away the tears that fell and once again I felt safe and protected in his presence.

Our eyes locked, each of us reading the other moves, anticipating what was to happen next. He made the move.

Inch by inch I felt his body get closer to mine, as he bent his head down towards me. I smiled at him as he kissed me lightly on the cheek and came away to face me once more, his smile held a sign of reassurance.

I closed my eyes and felt his lips once again but this time against mine, sweeping back and forth over mine, his hands moved to encircle me tighter against his muscular frame.

******

So the desire burst from its fiery cell and I kissed her lightly on the cheek, my body coursed with flames, as I wanted more. But it could not be.

Damn the fucking curse.

For a moment I forgot the curse and kissed her passionately, bringing her body closer to mine. Everything seemed to fade into a black void as the hut around us seemed to whirl into an ultimate oblivion. This was my girl.

It's unbelievable to think that this one person had such a huge effect on me that it sent my senses into a whirling frenzy.

I felt her tiny arms wrap around me tighter as the kiss was deepened and my hands found there way under her shirt to reveal her soft white skin underneath. I smoothed my hands up and down her back as we kissed; my body yearned to be closer to hers.

******

The room began to spin. All noises ceased and I found myself completely alone with my Angel, everything around us had gone. The kiss deepened as his tongue slipped into my mouth and rubbed against mine.

I felt his hands under my shirt and followed suit, slipping my warm hands up under his shirt, feeling his ice-cold skin against my own. He flinched as I touched him, smoothing my hands up the front of his chest, feeling his tight muscles rippling under his skin.

This was my dream. To be once again in the arms of my love, my Angel.

And here we were in a moment of almost perfect happiness; all we needed to accomplish it was just a few layers away..

****** Panic entered my mind as we continued to kiss, both of us eager to be closer to the other.

I broke the kiss and we both breathed heavily: One of us had to, the other just did it for show.

Buffy's eyes crossed with confusion as I held her at arms length in front of me, suddenly realising how close we had become to releasing the ultimate demon. Angelus.

"Ohh" The confusion disappeared from her face.

"We can't" I shrugged; I had said this line way too much.

"I know." She sighed, answering her usual answer.

******

Crap. If it weren't for his bastard of a demon I wouldn't be sat in silence now.

I sighed at the realization and wished the awkward silence would quickly pass. This had happened so often; I couldn't even count it on my fingers anymore.

Why wasn't there a cure for this fucking curse? Why could it not be broken? Why the hell did it always have to be my life that was completely fucked up?

I leant into his body and rested my head on his chest, my feet rested up on the couch. Finally for the first time since I was back, I felt sleep slowly seep into my aching body and send me into a dreamy slumber.

****** Her fragile body curled itself up against mine like a tiny kitten and I felt her head rest against my cool chest. I wrapped my arm around her waist, keeping her secure against my body and listened to her breathing.

It wasn't long until the familiar sound of sleep had washed over the tiny slayer's body.

I reached my arms underneath her and lifted her effortlessly off my lap and carried her to my room. There, I laid her out and as soon as she left the touch of my body she gave a little whimper.

I smiled and clambered in beside her, lying on my side and scooping her in closer to my body.

"Goodnight." I whispered, planting a kiss upon her head before allowing sleep to invade my senses.
