Connor knocked softly on the doorframe.
Melody looked up. "Come in, and shut the door."
Connor shut the door as quietly as he could. Melody placed the kitten she was holding back with the rest of them, and stepped close enough for Connor to feel her body heat. Melody smiled.
"That's right, I was going to thank you."
She pressed close, then withdrew. Connor grabbed her waist, and pulled her to him, kissing her. Melody returned the feeling with passion, drawing his energy level up. Melody smiled, enjoying the intensity of the moment.
Connor backed her onto the bed, and she resonded by pulling his shirt over his head. Connor undid the bottons on her shirt, pulling it open to expose her bra. Melody took his pants off, and he slid hers over her hips. Melody tugged Connor's boxers to the floor, and Connor slipped her panties down. Melody grabbed his head and kissed him again as he moved in on her. Connor savored the moment. Melody's breathing became ragged as he slipped into her. Connor seemed to know what he was doing. The bed creaked a little with each thrust from Connor, and Melody knew it would attract attention, but at this point she didn't care. Sweat ran down Melody's neck, but Connor didn't stop - Melody didn't want him to.
The bed creaking did attract attention, from Angel and Lorne.
They stood outside the door, leaning toward the door.
"They sound like they're going at it pretty hard." Lorne commented.
"Should we..?"
"No, they'll get tired soon, noone can last very long if the go at it like that."
Angel and Lorne left, leaving no trace they were there.
Connor stopped. Not pulling out, but not moving.
"What?"
Melody listened to the silence.
"Someone was out there."
Melody kissed the corner of his mouth.
"They left."
Connor smiled.
"Yeah, but now they know."
Melody rolled Connor onto his back.
"They were going to find out anyway."
Connor thought about this, but before he could finish, Melody kissed him, and he forgot about it.
Now both Connor and Melody were sweating.
Connor pulled out, and they went for their clothes, quickly putting them on.
"Was that an adequete Thank You?" Melody wanted to know. "Because if it wasn't I can make it up to you."
Connor just smiled.
"Later." Melody whispered.
Connor gave her a long lingering kiss that seemed to last an eternity, then left. In the hall waiting was Angel.
"We were just talking."
Connor played it innocent. Angel smirked.
"No conversations I've ever had sounded like that."
Connor's cheeks turned a slight shade of pink.
"Aha, I was right."
Connor got defensive. "It's really none of your buisness."
He shut the door defiantly.
"It's my buisness what goes on in my hotel." Angel called through the door, but got no reply.
Angel decided to go downstairs and ask Cordy to talk to Melody, but he felt a pair of eyes watching him. Angel turned to find Melody glaring daggers at him.
"Connor is right, it's none of your buisness." She disappeared into her room, and shut the door.
Angel gave an exasperated sigh, and decided to go to bed. Maybe they would be more reasonable then. But Angel couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about how he lost his soul when he slept with Buffy, and when Darla got pregnant with Connor. Angel shuddered at the memory of Cordelia's face when she found that out. She was horrified. 'I wonder what it would be like if I had grandkids' Angel tried stop himself, knowing he shouldn't think about it, but he couldn't help himself. But eventually he fell asleep, and before he knew it, it was morning.
Tuesday 12:15 PM
Connor poked is head into Melody's room, she was sitting on her bed with her back to the door. She was so quiet Connor might have thought she was sleeping sitting upright.
"Hi Connor."
Connor realized she was meditating.
"Patrol tonight?"
Melody shrugged. "Sure, I guess."
She sounded noncholant. Connor knew there was something wrong.
"What's wrong?"
She shook her head, not even turning to look at him. "Not a thing."
Connor moved toward her. "Something's wrong, or different somehow."
Melody shrugged again. "Nothin'."
Connor stepped forward again, and realized Melody had all the kittens in her lap, and they were nursing on their mother.
She held her hand open, in it was the diamond necklace she said had been lost.
"When the member that posesses it dies, it goes automatically to the hands of the youngest, even if it has been lost, so it never really is lost."
Connor nodded.
"So, are you planning on saving my life tonight?"
Conner shrugged. "If fate permits."
Melody rolled her eyes. "All that fate talk is a bunch of bull shit."
Connor thought about this. "Well, if a reward like last night's is involved, absolutely."
Melody smiled. "Well, you get the reward if you save my life or not, it's a win-win situation."
Connor wrapped his strong arms around her.
"Reward after patrol."
Connor kissed her.
"Well, now in this case."
Melody gave in just a little. "Maybe."
Melody tossed the necklace to the ground. She grabbed the front of Connor's shirt, and threw him on the bed. Melody kissed him with a hunger.
"More like now."
Melody smiled evilly. She slipped his shirt off over his head. He took off her blue shirt, and reached around to undo her bra. Melody yanked his jeans to the floor as he pulled the last of her clothes off. Connor pinned her down, grabbing her wrists and pressing them into the mattress. Melody gathered all of her strength and flipped him over onto the floor, straddling him.
"This is more like it."
Connor flipped her over, and pinned her down again.
"Does it hurt?"
An evil smile spread across Melody's face in response to his question. "Not yet."
Connor pressed harder. "Hurt now?"
Melody nodded. "Like hell."
Connor slipped in her. Melody snarled at him, flipping him over again, digging her fingernails into his wrists, not quite drawing blood.
"Do I make you crazy?"
She growled deep in her throat. In response Connor moved in on her harder.
"Do I make you angry?" He taunted back.
Melody dug her fingernails so far into his wrist they drew blood. She took some of the blood and smeared it on her left cheek, her right hand still on his other wrist.
"Yes, but that's the best part."
Connor used his free hand, and ripped the scratch she had gotten from a vampire the night before open. It bled freely. Melody hissed in pain, and touched her finger to the open wound. She gently swiped the blood on his lips. Melody kissed him, tasting the blood on his lips. She released her hold on his wrists, and got off him. Melody pulled on her jeans.
"We're stuck patrolling again tonight. Together."
Melody sounded a little pissed. Connor just shrugged.
"Do you ever get a break?"
Connor thought about this as he pulled his shirt over his head.
"No."
Melody yanked her shirt down.
"It sucks to be you."
Connor shrugged again. "Saving people doesn't suck. Patrolling has it's perks."
Melody opened her bag and pulled out a book. She frowned at it and tossed it back.
"Do you want to go for a walk or something?" Melody asked with a bored sigh. "There's nothing else to do."
Melody made it seem like a last resort.
"Sure." Connor agreed.
They headed down the stairs.
"We're going out."
Connor told Cordy as he opened the door.
"Wait, take the pager."
Cordelia handed it to him. Connor grabbed his jacket and closed the door behind him. Melody zipped up her jacket against the cool fall breeze and started to walk.
"Where are we going?" Connor was curious.
"Anywhere but here."
Connor followed her just to see where she was going. They ened up in a deserted alleyway.
"I know this place." She said, trying to remember.
"You've never been here?" Connor asked.
Melody shook her head. "I don't think so, at least I'm pretty sure I haven't."
Melody stopped. "Oh, god."
Connor looked at her curiously.
"I know why I recognize this place now. Something terrible happened here."
Melody looked around her, taking in all the details.
"What happened here?" Connor was starting to feel she was going to say something terrible.
"Twelve people were massacred. By two vampires. I was right up there."
She pointed to the roof of the building to her left.
"One night, after I went clubbing, I went to that roof with some random guy. He didn't see anything, but he left, I don't remember why. That night was all foggy."
Melody looked up. "Come in, and shut the door."
Connor shut the door as quietly as he could. Melody placed the kitten she was holding back with the rest of them, and stepped close enough for Connor to feel her body heat. Melody smiled.
"That's right, I was going to thank you."
