Part 5

Buffy followed Hank down the long hallway. She was so scared she didn't realize she was chewing on her bottom lip. When Angelus saw that his lust for her shot up ten fold. Angelus motioned for them to sit down. "She's agreed to marry you Angelus," Hank informed him. Angelus smiled widely and looked his prize up and down. Buffy could feel his lustful eyes on her and she began to fidget uncomfortably. "First thing tomorrow we will meet at my estate and the wedding shall take place," Angelus informed the two of them. Buffy gawked at the man before her in shock. "No," Buffy said calmly. Hank looked at his daughter sternly. "Now Buffy you said you would marry him," Hank reminded his daughter not so gently. Buffy looked at Angelus then her father. "I will, but not tomorrow morning. I don't even know you," she said looking at Angelus. "I want three months at least." Angelus smiled appreciatively at his soon to be wife. "Three months you can have, but you will reside with me at my home. You will not go to Sunnydale High any longer. You will do what I ask and what I say," Angelus offered. Buffy fidgeted with her hands some more before she spoke, "I want to finish school. I won't sleep with you. I won't do that until after. I've never done that," Buffy said barely above a whisper. "Agreed," Angelus said, "You'll be going home with me and I'll have someone pick up your things. You'll be home schooled by the best tutor we can find. My wife will be properly educated."

Buffy sat in the passenger seat of his car as he drove through the hills that surrounded his estate. Angelus tried to keep his eyes on the road, but he kept sneaking peeks at the blonde beauty next to him. They arrived at his mansion and Angelus quickly opened the door for her and took her hand to help her out of the car. "This is our home," Angelus stated. Buffy looked around and marveled at how big the house was. Angelus took Buffy's hand and led her into the house and showed her where the kitchen, bathrooms, and living spaces were. "And upstairs," he said pulling her up the stairs, "is where the bedrooms are and the library." Angelus pulled her into one of the rooms. It was ornately decorated with gold silk. The large four poster bed took up most of the wall it was on. There were four doors, one that lead into the room, one on the same wall as the bed that lead to the bathroom, and the other two lead to matching his and her closets. Buffy peered into the closet that he claimed were hers now and she found all her boxes of things. "Where will I sleep until the wedding?," Buffy asked innocently. "Just because we aren't going to be having sex doesn't mean you aren't going to sleep with me. Buffy took a few steps back and shook her head no. "I want my own bed," she insisted. "I agreed to let you continue your education and not to sleep with you until after the wedding. I have never gone a day with out sex, but now I must go three months. You will be sharing a bed with me," he gritted out.

Angelus and Buffy had just finished eating their dinner in silence. Angelus stood up and took Buffy by the hand and led her up stairs. "I'll be in my office why don't you get ready for bed. Perhaps we'll watch a movie or something." With that Angelus left her standing in front of the large bathroom. Buffy quickly gathered the things she would need and locked herself in the bathroom. An hour later Buffy walked out of the bathroom. She chose to wear a large t-shirt and baggy pants. She hoped it would completely turn Angelus off, but it had the exact opposite effect. "Three months will be torture," he stated as he sat down on the bed in nothing but a pair of baggy pants. Angelus pushed a button on the remote in his hand that caused a flat screen TV to rise up at the foot of the bed.

Buffy lingered at the bathroom door scared to go to Angelus' bed. What if he didn't keep his promise and forced her. Angelus patted the bed beside him and motioned for Buffy to come to him. "Please let me sleep by myself," Buffy pleaded. Angelus stood up and walked over to Buffy. It was then that he noticed how scared she was. Her little hands were trembling and her green eyes were fighting back tears. Angelus' heart softened a little, but he would be damned if he didn't have her in his bed. "I promise that nothing will happen that you don't want to happen. Come and watch a movie with me and just let me hold you," Angelus promised her. Buffy let him lead her back to the bed. Angelus pulled back the blankets and watched as her lithe body slid under them. Angelus got in behind her and immediately wrapped his arms around her small waist. He felt her tense up at the contact, but she did not fight him. Angelus pushed play on the DVD remote and the movie began. Half way through the movie Buffy had fallen peacefully asleep. Angelus shut the movie off and just stared at the girl for a long time. She looked like an Angel with her blonde hair pooled around her. Angelus slowly bent over her and kissed her on the forehead. He watched and she did not stir. Slowly he went in to kiss her beautiful lips. They were so soft and he longed to slip his tongue inside, but he held back. Angelus pulled Buffy close to him letting her head fall onto his chest and wrapping his arm under her stomach and around her back.

Buffy awoke the next morning to the steady beat of Angelus' heart. She tried to sit up, but Angelus held on tighter. After several minutes of struggling Angelus awoke. "Morning baby," he said as he let her sit up. Buffy shivered at the pet name. "Did you sleep okay?," he asked her. Buffy shook her head yes then got up from the bed. "I'm going to get dressed," she stammered out as she locked herself in the bathroom. An hour later Buffy came out of the bathroom to find Angelus dressed and waiting for her. "I thought we could have breakfast together," Angelus offered as he stood up from the bed. Buffy shook her head yes and followed him down stairs to the kitchen. "Tara is the cook so anything you want or need in the department ask her," he said pointing to a tall blonde woman. "Wesley, is my assistant. And he can get you anything you need," he said pointing to a man sitting down reading the paper. "Esmeralda is the maid, however she doesn't speak English very well. Charles is the driver so if you need to go anywhere ask him." Buffy sat down at the table and began to eat not really speaking at all.

Angelus left for work leaving Buffy to her own devices for the day. She unpacked her things for a while. After that she flipped through the channels on the TV, but there wasn't really much on. Buffy wandered around the house winding up in the library. Buffy looked at all the old books in amazement. When he said he had a library he wasn't joking. There were shelves and shelves of books. Wesley went to check on the young girl per his masters orders. He found her wandering around the library. "You should try this one," he said holding a book out to her. Buffy jumped at his words she hadn't realized anyone else had entered the room. "You scared me," she said smiling. Wesley beamed at her smile. It was the most genuine and exquisite smile he had ever seen. "I didn't mean to startle you miss. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. I believe you would thoroughly enjoy it," Wesley offered. Buffy took the book from his hand and opened it up reading the first few lines. "Thank you, I'll give it a try," she said smiling. "Mr. Liam shall be home at seven pm and he wishes you to be dressed and ready for dinner. You shall be going out and he has sent an evening gown for you," he said holding out a garment bag. Buffy took the bag then rolled her eyes and went upstairs.

Angelus waited down in the car for Buffy to come out. Several moments later the front door opened and Angelus couldn't believe his eyes. She looked beautiful in the emerald green gown he had chosen. Her blonde hair was curled and piled loosely atop her head. Angelus opened the door and helped her into the car. Angelus quickly got in the drivers seat and drove off of the estate. "You look gorgeous," he told her. Curtly Buffy replied, "Thanks." Angelus let out a deep sigh and knew it was going to be a ride trying to get this girl to fall for him. However, he knew she would love him even if he never truly loved her back. She would be a beautiful piece of arm candy and make pretty babies.
