Part 11

Angelus thought that after he had tasted her and felt himself encased in her that he would be through with her. He figured that now he would have her out of his system and could move on, but that was not the case. Angelus lay there staring at her sleeping form for the better part of the night. He wanted nothing more then to make sweet love to her again and again. He wanted to spend years teaching her all the pleasures the human body could feel. He wanted to teach her how to pleasure herself and him. Lazily Angelus traced his fingers up and down her neck, trailing down her shoulder to her arm. He must have traced every single part of her exposed flesh with his light touch. Buffy curled instinctively into his side, still fast asleep. Angelus buried his face in her sweet smelling hair and fell asleep holding her close.

Buffy's eyes fluttered open as the sunlight hit her small body. She sat up in the empty bed, save for herself. She donned the discarded silk shirt on the floor and ventured out to the living room, but Angelus was not to be found. Buffy felt ridiculous thinking that what they had shared last night had been special. She should have known that to Angelus she was just another lay. Buffy quickly went into the bathroom and started the bath water.

Angelus walked into the pent house with a dozen red roses. He looked for her in the bedroom, but she wasn't there. Angelus heard the water running in the bathroom. Angelus stepped into the bathroom and sat down on the edge of the tub. Slowly he trailed a finger up and down Buffy's back. Buffy gasped and turned her head quickly. "You scared me," she breathed as he continued to deliberately caress her back. Angelus sat the dozen roses on the counter then began to take his clothes off. Angelus slipped into the water with her and immediately felt her tense up. "What's wrong baby?," he asked as he pulled her onto his lap. "You - you where were you?," she asked. Angelus kissed her several times up and down her neck. "I didn't want to leave, but I had a meeting I couldn't get out of, but I have the rest of the day to spend with you." Buffy laughed a little, "I thought - never mind it's silly." Angelus turned her so she was facing him. His dark eyes penetrated her light ones, "Tell me baby." Buffy laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes, "I thought you didn't care about last night." Angelus smiled and kissed the top of her head, "Buffy last night was the best night of my life."

After several days Angelus and Buffy returned home. Buffy was happier then she'd been in a long time. Angelus was definitely happier then he had ever been. He now understood that all the years he spent slipping from one bed to the next earned him nothing. Sure he enjoyed the sex, but that was all it was. What he had shared with Buffy over the last few days had been more then just sex. She was the first girl that he had formed an emotional attachment to.

Their first night home they spent all night in each others arms. Angelus loved to see the look of pure pleasure flash across her face. He loved the sounds she made when she reached peak after peak that he brought her to. Angelus loved to make her beg for completion. He could hear her moans of pleasure as he pushed in and out of her. He suckled on her nipple and alternately gently nipped at them causing her to suck in her breath fast. Angelus brought her to one more mind blowing orgasm before finally achieving his own. Afterwards he always just stared down at her for several long moments. He loved the look of total bliss that plastered itself on her face. Angelus held her through the night as they slept peacefully.

Buffy awoke the next morning and ventured downstairs to the kitchen. She heard two male voices conversing and stopped before entering the kitchen. She had wished she had never heard what they were saying.

"I haven't seen you forever. You've been shacked up here with the love bunny," the unfamiliar man said.

"I've been busy with work is all," Angelus explained.

"Don't lie to me I can see it in your eyes. You've been getting laid and all the ladies we frequent have all said the same thing. It ain't with them."

"Alright yes we've been sleeping together. She is going to be my wife," Angelus explained.

"How was she?," the man asked.

"Look Spike she was just a girl trying to show me she loved me. Nothing special or anything, but at least she tried," Angelus said.

"You're still going to marry her?," Spike asked.

"Yes she will make an excellent mother and she is beautiful and I can teach her how to be better in bed. I know she won't divorce me after the five years. She is totally and utterly infatuated with me," Angelus clarified.

Tears stung Buffy's eyes as she quickly turned away and ran up the stairs. Buffy quickly turned the shower on and sat down huddled in the corner with her arms wrapped around her legs. She was rocking back and forth crying. She couldn't believe how stupid she was.

"Don't lie to me Angelus. You know I can always tell when you lie," Spike confronted Angelus.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Angelus lied.

"I don't doubt for a second that she is totally and utterly infatuated with you, but I can see that you are also infatuated with her," Spike prodded.

"I've never felt this way about any girl ever until now. I just don't want anyone to get in the middle of this relationship. This is all knew to us," Angelus explained.

"I've got you buddy, I'll tell all the ladies to leave you be," Spike promised.

After Spike left Angelus ascended the stairs and walked into the bedroom. Angelus opened the bathroom door. "Milsean?," Angelus questioned as he heard her crying. Buffy quickly wiped the tears away, "Go away." Angelus looked down at her and quickly took his clothes off and got in the shower with her. Angelus forced Buffy to stand up, "What's wrong baby?." Buffy began to beat her small fists against his hard chest, "Leave me be." Buffy continued to cry and beat her fists at him until Angelus picked her up and carried her out of the shower. "Put me down," she screamed as he carried her out to the bed.

Angelus laid Buffy on the bed and sat down next to her as she sobbed. "Milsean? Tell me what's wrong please," Angelus pleaded as he watched her sob. "Please just leave me alone," she sobbed. Angelus pulled the blanket up and wrapped it around Buffy and himself. He kissed her several times on the top of her head. "Buffy please talk to me then I promise to leave you alone if that's what you still want," Angelus promised. Buffy sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I just realized that you don't love me at all," Buffy spat out coldly. Angelus realized that she must have heard part of his conversation with Spike. It was just his luck that she heard the lies he was telling. Angelus tried to bring her into an embrace, but Buffy pushed him away. "Buffy I do love you. You're the first girl that I've ever loved. I was just scared and so I told Spike those lies, but I swear that I do love you," Angelus pleaded for Buffy to believe him.

Eventually Angelus had to leave for work. Buffy was still quite upset with him. She didn't know what to believe. Was he more likely to lie to her or more likely to lie to his best friend. Buffy didn't know what to believe, but she knew she couldn't handle this. She had thought that he had loved her with all his heart. Now she thought she knew the truth. He wanted her to have his children and take care of them. Buffy called her friends to pick her up and told them to meet her a mile or so down the road from Angelus' estate.
