Buffy POV

It's different some how, I mean Angel's bite. He's gentler, thinking I am going to break or something, and the whole thing right now, it well, it's actually very... pleasurable.

I know what he's doing, he told me, but I'm afraid. Not afraid of forever, but afraid of what my friends will think of this 'new' me. I have to tell the truth though, I really could care less. I am going to be able to protect my little girl, watch her grow, be with her, instead of me dying...again.

I'm really tired, I have to just sleep a little bit, I don't think Angel will notice if I just shut my eyes a little....

As Angel pulled away from her, knowing she was close to deaths door, he purred, licking at her small wound on her neck.

"My sweet golden girl..." He whispered as he laid her on their bed. Watching her shallow breaths closely, making sure she didn't die before she, well, die.

Reaching under the bed he found the dagger he had Buffy for her last birthday, working quickly he ran the blade across his ivory skin. Then he placed his bloody wrist to his mates pale lips.

One, two, three drops and nothing had happened; she hadn't so much as twitched.

He held an unneeded breath, knowing she should have grasped his wrist and taken her share of his crimson gift.

Seven, eight, nine... Then an iron tight hold came around his arm as he felt like his whole essence being drawn from him.

Buffy was now nearly snarling as she drank from his wrist, her body on fire and her mind reeling from the almost numbing taste, she couldn't get enough.

Then Angel pulled back, scared he was giving too much and he'd pass out. Not exactly a good way to spend the rest of their un-lives. When he released his wrist from her mouth she seemed paralyzed. She went completely rigid with her eyes glued to the ceiling, nearly hyperventilating the way she was breathing so fast.

"Buffy...?" Angel called to her, slightly worried.

She didn't respond instead she; titled her head to him, smiled and yawned. He smiled back and patted her blonde tresses as she fell asleep. Rolling to his side, he held her in his arms as he too fell asleep.
