Chapter 23

Angelus groaned and shook his head trying to clear it, he tried to move his hand up to his aching head but it was stuck he couldn't move it. The vampire opened his eyes and blinked as they bright light caused a pain shooting through his skull. He looked down at his body and it was wrapped tightly. The vampire looked around he could see that he was still in the basement of the hotel. When he got out of this he was going to rip their hearts out with his bare hands? He relaxed his muscles and took note of his predicament. His shirt pushed down to the side and the chains dug into the naked flesh of his firm muscular chest, his washboard stomach, tight across his hips and groan. He tried to move again but the chains dug into his genitals, he groaned at the friction it was causing and he could feel the start of an erection. Angelus always did find a little bit of pain a turn on, the chains continued down across his strong thighs, calves and then wrapped across his ankles.

Angelus looked up and the first thing he saw was Faith. A smirked crossed his face as he stared at the slayer.

"Faithy babe long time. So how was prison, make any friends. How was the girl on girl action maybe you could recreate it for me. You and Cordy now that would be hot." Angelus' voice was deep. "So where is my well stacked seer."

"I'm here." Cordy said her controlling the tremor in her voice.

Angelus gaze roamed her body and he licked his lips, his eyes glittered with hunger, his body tightened with need, he was becoming harder. He wanted to own her, to hurt her, to possess her and now every inch of her body. He growled deep within his chest, it rumbled against the chains. He smirked as he smelt her arousal he could sense the blood pounding through her veins, his mouth was dry with need, Angelus wanted to taste it desperately, he wanted to feel run down his throat. He felt like a man dying of thirst in the middle of the desert and she was his oasis to drink from.

Cordy tried to stop her body's reaction but she couldn't, the way his gaze screamed out that he wanted her. She wanted to run her hands over his body her fingers itched to touch his chest. The seer wanted to strip the rest of his clothes of that magnificent body he was a work of art, she wanted to strip her own clothes of and watch him harden just looking at her. She wanted to please herself, make herself cum while he watched.

Brown eyes and Hazel ones locked on each other, they couldn't see anyone else, and volumes were spoken just with their eyes. The desire they had for each other choked everyone else in the room.

Faith watched them she frowned she had seen how Buffy had looked and she recognised the look of arousal so the slayer thought that Angelus had 'played' with her but it seemed Angelus didn't have eyes for anyone else except Cordelia. The brunette slayer smirked no wonder Buffy was pissed of in all those years she never thought Angel would move on and he had to Cordelia and so had Angelus.

Wes sat downstairs in the hotel surrounded by books after the whole Jasmine thing Angel didn't seemed interested in getting his curse lifted when there was no risk of loosing it because Cordelia was in a coma and then she died. His eyes welled up but he fought the tears back. With everything that had happened they had not been able to welcome Cordy back properly and her and Angel still were not together.

It wasn't fair the two of them had difficulty after difficulty, problem after problem and yet they still managed to find their way back to each other even death couldn't separate them and it was time someone gave them a break.

So here the ex-watcher was reading through books about Angel's curse he was looking a) for a way to restore it and b) a way to keep it in him and something to stop him coming back so Cordy and Angel could get as happy as they could with no fear of a sadistic killer coming back.

"I think I've found it." Wesley mumbled and leant forward as he began to decipher it. "Oh you have got to be kidding me." Was it worth the risk? But most importantly was it going to work?

*****

Buffy ran to her room as soon as she was released and jumped in the shower cleaning away the blood from her face and trying to get rid if the aching need the had settled in her body and the need was for one man only, one vampire Angel. She knew it wasn't Angelus she was attracted to he just had the same face. She dried herself roughly and headed back out into the bedroom and there sitting on the bed was Willow watching her patiently.

"Are you ok Buffy?" Willow asked her voice soft.

The blonde slayer couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears and in the blink of an eye Willow was at her side and wrapping her arms around her friend. It seemed as if they had stood there for an eternity and slowly Buffy's sobs subsided and she pulled away wiping her face dry.

The redhead witch led her to the bed and they both sat down and Willow waited for Buffy to start talking.

"I don't know what is wrong with me every time I see Angel I want to reach out to him, to hold him, to touch him. I want him to do the same to me I also want him to." She stopped in embarrassment. "I want him to take me easy and slow, hard and fast I don't care my body is screaming out for him he's like an addiction and I need a fix. Why is this happening to me?"

Willow looked at her sympathetically. "Buffy you have been through a lot, we all have we deal with things in different ways. You have died twice, you lost your mum, you lost Angel, and you thought Spike had died." The witch held her hand and stopped Buffy from interrupting her. "And now you are not the only slayer in the world and there is no more Hellmouth. You have to remember that you only slept with Angel once and he was your first love. It makes sense that you want to go back to be able to be with him. It took Angel 250 years to fall in love with someone and you thought that you were going to have his love for a long time and in 5 years he had grown and changed more than he had with you and he had fallen in love with that very person that change him and it happened to be a woman you were never friends with."

"It makes me sound so selfish." Buffy whispered guilt eating away at her.

"We all do selfish things Buffy, we can't help the way we feel it's what makes us human. Look at me after Tara died I tried to destroy the world because I couldn't deal with the pain. You just have to try and move forward Angel is never going to be yours he belongs to Cordy now."

*****

Downstairs in the lobby Wes waited for everyone to arrive he was pacing backwards and forwards. He couldn't believe what he had found and slowly in one's, two's or groups it was filled with the AI gang, apart from Angel, the Scoobies, the Immortals and Faith.

Cordy stared at Wes taping her foot impatiently. "Well?" She finally asked, her gaze landed on Methos and she smiled at him, they sat and talked while Angelus was unconscious and he told her a little bit about what happened but she knew he was hiding some things Cordy wasn't going to push him and really she didn't want to know.

"I've found a way to get Angel's soul back and secure it so no happiness clause." Wes told them.

Cordy smiled a big grin at them but she saw the look on her friends face and her eyes narrowed. "There's a catch and I bet it's a big one. Come on Wes spit it out already, some of you could die of old age by the time we can actually help him."

The all leant forward as Wes told them what they had to do.

*****

Angelus groaned as he woke up again. He growled. "Fuck they knocked me out again." Then it came back to him Wes had walked in with a tranquilliser gun and shot him. What the hell were they planning?

The vampire looked around well he was alone, still chained and naked. He paused for a moment. "Why am I naked?" He asked himself he was definitely confused. The door opened and he knew who it was, he could smell her. "Cordy so what is the plan?" He asked and watched as her gaze moved from his face past his chest, his stomach and finally to his groin, the heat of her gaze stirred him and became harder and harder, his throbbing erection ached for her, to be inside her.

Angelus watched her face as she took in all of his body and then her eyes rose to meet his, her face was flushed with arousal and he thought he had never seen her look sexier. She ran her hands through her and slowly lowered them down her body and in the back of his mind he wondered why she was wearing a robe, but his gaze followed her hands and watched as the untied the belt and she slid it off her shoulders and it landed on the floor.

Angelus started to struggle with the chains. "RELEASE ME!" He roared.

Cordelia sauntered towards him her hips swaying seductively. "I like you chained up."

His gaze took in every detail of her heavenly body, he wanted to taste her, touch her but he couldn't he was at her mercy and if this carried on like this he didn't mind, he hadn't been this turned on for such a long time. He didn't think he could get any harder but he was wrong his erection was throbbing so hard now it was painful which turned him on more and more and it was getting more exciting every second. Angelus watched and waited to see what she was going to do next. He knew that there was plan somewhere but for the un-life of him he couldn't see it and if he got to fuck her he didn't care as long as he was buried within that tight body of hers and feel her pulsing around his shaft.
