~*Chapter Five*~

~*~*~*~*~*~

Only 7 days, a week, had passed since the two young teens had confessed to their feelings for one another, and had started this strange, secret love affair. They continued to act the way they had before, somewhat shy and nervous around each other, but arguing every now and then while they studied and the adults looked on.

But it was the little things the adults didn't catch.

Like the way their hands would brush sensually against the others thigh when reaching for a book or pencil or something.... Or the way their eyes would lock for just a split second, seemingly communicating without speaking. No one noticed that for two nights in a row, Connor's bed was empty, or for another three, Dawn's was empty, or for the fact that the two were keeping more to themselves before, locking themselves in the basement to....'study'.

No one thought a thing of it.

It wasn't about sex, of course they did alot of that, but it wasn't about that. They felt whole when they were together, like they had been walking around for their entire exsistance with this hole in them, and now it had been filled. The first day, waking up with each other. It had made them both very nervous, but later that day, things had smoothed out, and now they were practically attached at the hip.

Only one person in the hotel actually saw the closeness. And he was concerned about it.

"I don't like it..." Angel said to Cordelia from his position in the doorway, leaning against it and watching the two teens fighting over a piece of paper.

"Don't like what Angel?" Cordy asked as she sat back in an office chair, reading a magazine. "Leave them be, they're just kids, it's not like they want to hang around with us. And they don't have people around their age." She commented easily.

"They're too close. Almost as if they were..." He trailed off as his eyes narrowed at the two when Connor gave in, handing the paper over and earning a beaming smile from Dawn. "I don't like it." He repeated.

"Angel, really... they just like each others company, like us." Cordelia paused when Angel threw her a glare. "Okay..not like us, cause that would be bad, but...they're friends like...like...me and Wes. Or you and Fred. They have no one their age here, we don't let them out, they're basically shut off to the world of other teens."

"I know..." Angel sighed and turned back from the view. "Buffy called.." He said, making Cordy tense. He sighed again, walking up behind her and rubbing her shoulders gently, knowing Cordelia always got tense with the 'B' subject. "She said she was feeling guilty, her and Spike are coming up for a visit." He chuckled, and looked down at her when she looked back at him questionably, "He sounded excited, like a teenager himself." He paused and finally admitted something, "I think it does Spike good to play father to Dawn, she needs one, and he wants a kid, she's basically his."

Cordelia smiled at that. She could handle the british vampire. He had good comebacks and not such bad taste in certain things...for a dead guy. But Buffy always irked her. She hated when she came, not that she had actually been here in the past month, or even called. And that made her motherly instincts kick, make her pissed at Buffy for leaving Dawn like that and not even bothering to call. But it wasn't her place to say anything, so for the first time in a long time, she wasn't going to dis Buffy Summers. "When are they coming?" She questioned, "Does Dawn know?"

"Tomorrow, and no...Dawn doesn't know, neither does Connor. If Connor knew, he'd tell Dawn and Buffy wants it to be a surprise. We're gonna go out tomorrow night and meet them, then come back and surprise Dawn and Connor. Make it look like we're just going on a normal patrol or something..."

"Sounds nice...wanting to surprise Dawn and all..." Cordelia said softly, but wasn't really focusing on it since he was massaging her shoulders, making her head drop forward as his lips began to trail kisses across her neck.....

~*Later that night*~

~*~*~*~*~*~

Dawn leaned under the warm water, letting it slide over her body as Connor got into the shower behind her. The others had been gone for an hour and they had been horsing around downstairs, playing tag...something Connor had never gotten to do as a child.

"I don't think I've ever heard you get undressed that fast." She teased lightly as she turned to face him, letting her eyes freely roam his body fore a moment before she turned her back to him again. "Shower and bed." She muttered to herself. They didn't have time to fool around THAT way. The others would probably be back soon.

Connor stepped closer to her wet glistening body and caught the bits of water that sprayed over her body. He ran his hands down her back, then again, the feel of her skin soft and wet. He moved closer, letting his body touch hers, the warmth of her body soaking his skin along with the water, washing over them both.

She felt a shudder coarse through her body as Connor's hands ran down her back, sighing softly when he stepped closer so their bodies touched. "Hmmmm.." She made the small noise in the back of her throat, her eyes closing as she leaned a little into Connor and his touch. She felt one of her hands stay by her side as the other reached for his, pulling one of his arms around her body.

He held her closely across from one shoulder to the other, he couldn't stop himself, he leaned in and kissed her neck, right where it met the collarbone. He wrapped his other arm around her waist, his hand resting over her lower abdomen, closing his eyes and loving the feel of the water moving between their bodies, everything was so slick, and warm. "I love you," he said very quietly. It had become addictive to say that whenever he was around her, he had to literally force himself NOT to say it when the others were around. He could still remember that lecture he had gotten from Cordelia AND Angel to NOT get THIS involved with Dawn, but he couldn't help it.

Dawn breathed out as she licked her lips, her head rolling back against his shoulder. She felt her parted lips tugging into a soft smile as she caught his quiet words, "I love you." She whispered back, her free hand sliding over his arm and to rest on his hand that was on her abdomen. She loved the feel of him pressed against her, comforting..reasuring, as the warm water moved and flowed between them, over them. "I love you so much." She repeated quietly.

Connor kissed her neck again, softly. His heart felt full and proud. He held onto her as if for dear life, never wanting to let go. But he was getting tired, it was getting late, and Dawn needed her rest more than he did. As hard as it was for him to do so, he began to slip back and let her go, urging her to turn around and face him. Once turned, he pressed his front to her front and reached behind her to run his fingers and the water through her hair. He was gentle as he carressed her head, then reached for the shampoo, putting it in the palm of his hand and working it gently into her hair.

Her eyes opened for a moment as she felt him moving away and turning her around so that they faced. She stared at him before her eyes were closing again with his front pressed against her. She sighed as he ran his hands through her hair, then felt him working the shampoo into her hair. "Mmmm...you work magics with hair, maybe you should become a hair stylist." She joked quietly as her hands rested on his hips, letting him work on her the way he wanted to.

He snorted a laugh, "Oh yes, I'm going to make you look fabulous!" he joked back. When he had a good lather going, he let her head lean back into the water and worked his hands through her hair to get all of the soap out, making sure never to get the water in her eyes. "Do you use conditioner?" he asked, glancing around the shower.

"I'm out, I'll tell Cordy get me some this weekend." She informed him quietly, not sure why she was so quiet, but knowing that she was getting sleepy. "We've got to do something about your hair now, wonder if my shampoo will give you dry hair." She quipped playfully as she looked at him, getting him to focus on her again as she put some shampoo in her hand and reached up, working through his hair.

He closed his eyes and relaxed to the feel of her hands on his head. He loved to have someone running their fingers through his hair and this was heavenly. He peeked out from one eye at her, and smiled. She was so beautiful, and caring, and he couldn't wait to experience everything with her, he almost felt rushed.

She smiled softly as she watched her hands working, then glanced down at his face to see him look at her from one eye and smile. She didn't know when they had switched positions, but they had, she realized, as she gently urged him to tilt his head back under the water spray to get the shampoo out, making sure not to get any in his eyes. He looked so vulnerable at the moment, there were only rare times she got to see him like this, he always felt the need to be strong around her, around everyone, for everyone. She didn't mind it at times, but at other times, she wanted nothing more than for him to break down and go weak, let her be the strong one, the one to comfort him. "There..." She murmured as all the shampoo was washed out.

"Thank you," he said, running his hands over his hair quickly to get the water out, then leaned down and kissed her full on the lips. He began to pull her under the water with him, letting it run down his shoulders over him onto her. "So, soap next?"

She smiled, allowing herself to be pulled up against him. "Unless you know of some other step in cleaning ourselves then yes, soap comes next." She teased softly, chuckling a little and placing a playful kiss on his chin.

"Oh really?" he asked, a playful smile on his face, "really? What about this?" he began to tickle her under the arms, then at her neck, "Is that getting you clean?" he joked, a delighted look on his face as she began to wriggle.

She giggled softly, trying not to be loud, and not sure why, while she tried to get out of his grasp. "No.." She breathed out with a smile, "It only gets me jumpy...and other things I'd really like not to feel before I go to bed.." she complained with a little whine.

He pouted with a guilty face, "Aww, I'm sorry. Here, let me kiss it make it better," he leaned a head down and kissed her neck, softly, moving down her shoulder then back, across her collarbone to the other side of her neck, "Is that better?" he asked as he continued to kiss her neck.

Her eyes slipped closed and she tilted her head to the side for a moment, "Hmmm? Oh..it's helping a little, maybe you should continue to make it better." She said with a small grin, trying not to let him get to her. They couldn't very well do anything now...could they? Not when they needed to go to bed....in separate rooms....before the others got back.

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him, now sucking on her neck, letting his teeth gently scrape the skin. He moved down her neck, kissing, bending, till he could kiss her breast, first one, then the other. He remembered her 'no funny stuff,' warning she had given him earlier and moved quickly back up towards her neck, finally pulling back, "Let's finish showering and move to the bed, what do you say?" Then, realizing what he said, quickly went on. "You in your bed and me in your---MY bed..."

Her eyes snapped open when he pulled away and she didn't even try to hide her disappointment. "Yeah...bed..right." She shook her head as she tried to shake off her excitment. She inwardly sighed as she tore her eyes away from Connor and his body and focused on finishing cleaning.

He took the shower puff, giving it a funny look before putting the shower gel on it. He got a nice lather going and began to wash Dawn, starting at her neck, down over the shoulders, across her breasts. The sight of soap bubbles on her pert little-- he had to stop himself from thinking what he was thinking as he continued to wash her, pressing his front to her soapy front as he worked down her back, around to the front again, then moved onto his body, reaching as far as he could, "Wash my back?" he asked, holding the puff out at her.

She nodded silently as she took the puff out of his hand and moved to clean his back, "Giving me control now?" She asked in a teasing voice, but it was quiet. She didn't want to get him riled up and she didn't want to get herself riled up...even if she wanted him at that moment, she didn't want to get caught. She wasn't ashamed or anything, she just liked having this wonderful secret. And she got the feeling no one would approve.

She finished lathering the soap on his back and gently let the water wash it off of herself and him. She pressed the front of her body to his back as her hands ran over his chest before she pulled back, planting a kiss on his shoulder, "All clean." She said in a innocent tone.

Connor stopped himself from moaning and he rolled his eyes, "Yeah, all clean," he agreed, his voice cracking slightly, "I'm just going to stand here for a minute and um, get wetter, you go ahead and dry off, I'll be right there," he said, trying not to sound too suspicious. He had a mad stiffy now and he was trying to will it away silently and swiftly.

Dawn raised an eyebrow, knowing he couldn't see her since she was behind him. "Wetter? I was hoping I would be the one getting wetter." She whispered huskily as she pressed against him again, noticing the crack in his voice. She peered over his shoulder, grinning lightly when she saw his erection. "Come to bed, Connor. I'll take care of you.." She murmured softly as she left a kiss just behind his ear, then released him, slipping out of the shower to dry off. She was throwing caution to the wind. Of course they wouldn't be back for a while. They went on patrol, they had time.

He gulped as she pressed against him and talked like that. He turned the water off, his erection full now, there was no way he'd be able to drop it now. He followed her out of the shower, grabbing at a towel and doing the quickest dry off he had ever done in his life. He made his way into her bed room and gulped again when he saw Dawn.

Dawn dried off quickly before walking into her room and stretching out on her bed, above the covers. She grinned lightly to herself as she heard him come into the room. She looked up at him, her eyes roaming his body and licked her lips as her eyes settled on his erection. She couldn't help the surge of excitment that coarsed through her body. She sat up some and gave him her best 'come hither' look.

Connor let his eyes travel the length of her naked body, her hair still wet, her body fresh and clean. He walked quickly over to the bed and bounced onto it, laying next to her on his side and cocking one eyebrow, a mischevious smile on his face, "Hi there," he said, as if they were meeting for the first time, "Come here often?"

"Only when I need to release tension." Dawn played along, "By the looks of it...you seem to need your own release tonight." She kept her gaze locked on his as her fingers reached out to run over his chest, her nails scraping along gently. Her free hand curled around his erection, not moving, just putting pressure on it as her lips turned into a wicked smile. She had come to terms with sexuality...her own and his. He was beautiful, sitting there next to her, his body wanting her as his eyes met hers.

"Oh yeah baby," he said, the look in her eyes making him incredibly horney, nevermind the touch of her hands sent shivers through him. "Are you sure?" he asked quietly, placing a hand on her stomach, letting it creep ever so slowly down towards her crotch.

Her eyes darkened as his hand began to wonder downwards, her answer in her eyes even before she answered him outloud. "Yes.." She stated simply in a low voice, but quickly brought a finger to his lip as a shushing sign, "But be quiet..." She warned, a brief image of the others coming home and hearing them flashing through her mind, which surprised her since at the moment the only thing on her mind was getting him *in* her. "Please Connor, I need this.."

He nodded, not sure if she wanted more than sex or just wild passionate love making. He wanted to pleasure her first, as he let his finger slip inside of her, teasing her clit with his thumb, the both of them holding onto each other. He wiggled his finger around inside of her, back and forth, trying to find that spot that guys always talked about. "Tell me what to do," he said, looking deep into her eyes before kissing her full on the lips, roughly slipping his tongue from his mouth to hers.

Dawn gasped, biting her lip softly as he slipped a finger into her, making her heart race and her arousal heighten. She gazed into his soulful eyes, but before she could respond to his soft command, his mouth was on hers and she was moaning quietly into his mouth. Her hand tightened around his cock as her other hand locked behind his neck, pulling him closer. She pulled her mouth away from his, panting as his fingers worked in her and teased her clit. "Please, I want you...I want you to touch me.." She murmured in a husky tone as she took her hand away from his neck and grabbed his free hand, pulling it to her breast, "I don't want you to tease me, I want you to make love to me, I want you in me, never stop loving me." She murmured absently, her hips slowly rocking to the motion of his hand.

"I couldn't stop loving you if I tried. I will love you for all of eternity," he responded before moving swiftly on top of her, his hand staying inside of her, between their bodies. He kissed his way down so that he could suck on her nipple, biting gently as his finger worked roughly on her clit, rubbing in circles firmly. The moans of pleasure coming from her excited him beyond words and he could feel precum dribbling off of the end of his penis onto her leg where it was resting.

Dawn bit her lip harder as she tried to keep quiet, her exhaustion had wore off sometime in the shower and now she was rarin' to go. His mouth and hands working on her was making her want to jump him, roll him onto his back and ride him. She was going to loose it soon if he continued to torture her like this, "Connor Angel, I want you in me." She growled out quietly, her growl trailed off and was turned into a pleasure filled purr.

"Ma'am, yes ma'am," he replied playfully, kissing his way up towards her lips, letting his hand slip out, wet with her juices. He kissed her mouth roughly, as if he was trying to breathe her soul in. He felt her legs spread apart and he positioned his hips, moving the head of his cock against her vagina, letting it press gently against them but not slipping inside of her. He put his hand on her breast and squeezed it gently, still kissing her. He began to push against her, moving his hips forward, the feeling of her opening up to receive him, wet and hot for him. He pushed until just the head was inside, then out again, then in some more, then out again, then in, but this time, he banged roughly into her, forcing her to take all of him at once.

Dawn's breaths came out in short pants, her mouth moving away from his demanding lips and to his neck, nipping at his skin before soothing the bites with soft kisses. Her lips moved along to his shoulder as he slowly moved a little bit into her and then out, in again and then out. She bit down on his shoulder to muffle her loud gasp, that was surprisingly quiet now, as he slammed into her, almost knocking the wind out of her. "Oh my goodness." She whispered harshly against his skin, her hands circling his back and holding on tightly, "My god Connor, you do that like a pro." She said breathlessly.

"Yeah?" he replied, breathless, "I get a lot of practice," he closed his eyes, moving out and holding it for a moment before banging back inside of her. But he truly didn't have alot of practice, only the times with Dawn, but he was getting to be so familiar with her body, with this act with her. Over and over again he did this and he could feel her shudder around him, under him, everytime. He moaned when she bit into his shoulder. What was it about her biting him in passion that got him so hot? God she was heavenly, and here he was, fucking her, and there she was, carrying a child, one that he wanted to father, but wasn't his. It almost made him want to cry, but he didn't, he held it in. He pulled out again, then roughly forced it back inside of her, glancing down to watch his cock slide in and out of her, wet with her.

Dawn almost wanted to chuckle at his words, but she couldn't only soft moans and pants would come out. Her body arched into his with each thrust, her hips raising up to meet his roughly. "Yes.." She murmured when she found herself being pushed closer to the edge. Her orgasm seemed to be coming fast, but she didn't want to cum without him, they'd always reached that peak together. "Please.." She whimpered softly, her nails biting into his back.

Connor moaned with pleasur at the sensations she was causing all over him, everywhere, each one overloading him and making that huge release come closer, "Oh yeah baby, come for me, please," he begged, pumping his hips at a fast, hard pace now, getting the rhythm down as each push sent them both closer. He knew that if she would just orgasm, her vagina grabbing at his cock, pulling and shuddering, why, even the thought got him a little closer, he would explode.

She gasped softly, then bit her lip hard again as she found herself flying high on a wave of pleasure, "Yes.." She moaned, her eyes squeezed closed as an intense orgasm hit her. She convulsed around him, squeezing him, gribbing him and pulling him with her. She was whimpering and moaning softly as she tried to get over it. She sighed quietly as she slowly came back to earth, breathing deeply, not bothering to move or say anything as she basked in the afterglow.

He could barely move as she came, but the waves and muscle spasms rocked him and he felt as if he couldn't hold it anymroe. As soon as she began to come down, he came, biting both of his lips together to stop himself from moaning loudly. He finally collapsed on top of her, kissing at the skin closest to his mouth from time to time, unable to move or think, just enjoying the moment.

Dawn felt her exhuastion settle in again, tiredness invading her senses. "Mmmmm...that was good." She whispered, her voice already starting to be laced with sleep as her hands ran lazily up and down his back. She liked his weight pressed against her, although she knew he'd have to move in a little bit before she would have trouble breathing with his weight on her, but she still loved it all the same. Her once tension filled body was relaxed with the satisfaction of getting her release. "We should get to sleep.." She murmured softly as her lips brushed his cheek softly, "Sleepy."

Connor tried his best nod in agreement, finding the strength inside of himself to pick his head up and kiss her once more before moving off of her, "Should we put clothes on?" he wondered sleepily, pulling at the covers underneath them, pulling them down far enough to finally pull over them. He turned on his side and threw an arm over her, sleep slowly drifting in on him.

"Door's locked, no one can get in, don't need clothes." She mumbled quietly as she snuggled against him. Only there was one problem, she only TOUGHT she had locked the door. She didn't have to wait very long before she felt herself drifting off, a dream filled state quickly coming upon her. She sighed softly, happily as she fell asleep in the arms of the man she loved.

"Mmm," Connor agreed, wrapping more of himself around her, their bare skin touching, he felt as if they were one. He smiled happily as he held the woman he adored and fell into sleep.

They peaceful lumber didn't last all that long when a loud shout woke them up.

"OH MY GOD DAWN!" Dawn flew up in her bed with a gasp, clutching the sheets to her chest. She looked horrified to see Buffy, Spike, and the entire LA gang standing at the foot of her bed, gawking down at her and....

"Uh-oh..." She muttered.

"Uh-oh? UH-OH? Your naked in bed with that..." Spike bellowed, "I'm going to bloody rip him apart, Limb from limb..." He growled, only being held back by Angel and Gunn.

TBC...
