Chapter 8 Missing? Xander rushed over to Buffy who stood at her locker searching for her French book. "Buff have you heard from Willow? She wasn't in History."
"No, maybe she's just sick." Buffy replied shutting her locker.
"Is it just me or do you find it odd Ms. Calendar goes missing then Willow?" Xander waved his girlfriend over as she came down the hallway.
"What are we talking about apocalypse brewing?" The cheerleader inquired as she joined the others by the lockers.
"We're discussing the missing people in our lives." Xander put an arm around Cordelia's waist pulling her close.
"Wait who's missing besides Ms. Calendar? She's still a no show for class." Cordelia looked to the Slayer for an answer.
"Shit! Seriously?" Cordelia nodded in response to Buffy. The blonde felt as she had been punched in the gut. She had encouraged Willow to walk home alone last night. "Xander go to the library use the phone there to call Willow's. I'm gonna skip fourth period and go check on her."
"She should be fine we've been watching her back. The uninvited spell is in place." Cordelia shot Buffy a questioning glance. "You walked her home last night right?"
"N-not exactly", Buffy stammered.
Xander swore under his breath. "If anything's happened to Willow I'm holding you responsible. You're to busy freaking out over a vampire's rejection to do your duty. Willow didn't ask for this."
Tears filled the slayer's eye. She reached out to Xander who shrugged off her touch. "We don't know if anything's wrong she could be fine."
"If she's not", Cordelia butted in.
Buffy wiped a tear away. "I'll fix it I promise."
"Fuck!" Xander hung up the phone with more force than he intended drawing the attention of the Watcher.
Giles walked out of the stacks. "Problem, Xander?"
Trying to stay calm Xander took a deep breath. "Willow is a no show, and she isn't answering her phone."
"Well, we did have a rather late night last night, and with the stress she's been under it's understandable that she maybe catching up on sleep." The watcher rationalized to the teen.
Buffy had walked only a block away from the school when she saw it. Laying in the grass about a foot from the sidewalk was Willow's backpack. "No-no oh god no", she whispered clutching the redhead's bag to her chest. The slayer kept walking on fear growing inside her that she would be greeted by an empty house.
Willow woke with a start the memories of last night flooding her mind. Angelus lay sleeping beside her his arm draped across her. He looked so angelic in his sleep. Looks could be so deceiving. Easing out from under his arm she left the bed slowly as not to wake the resting vampire. She dressed quickly running to the door. The knob turned but the door didn't budge. *Damn vampire. * Willow thought crossly.
"Leaving me so soon, Little One?" Angelus husky voice broke the silence in the room.
Licking her dry lips she turned to face the bed. "Umm- school... Buffy and the others will worry."
"Please the vapid girl is only worried about getting the soul back." He rose from the bed not bothering to put his clothing back on. "It's midday already they should have noticed you're missing by now. Question is what do I do with you?"
"D-do with me", she squeaked. Fear creeped in that the vampire would kill her since he had gotten what he obviously wanted from her.
He placed a hand against her pounding heart. "You're fear is such a turn on." Angelus rubbed his erection against Willow as he pinned her to the door.
Blushing Willow averted her gaze. A deceptively gentle hand tilted her face up.
"Still so shy even after last night." The vampire murmured in amusement.
Buffy used the key hidden near the Rosenberg's front door to let herself into the house. Calling out for Willow she headed up the stairs. Her heart sank as she opened the bedroom door. The room was empty Willow's bed had not been slept in. Picking up the phone the slayer sank down on the bed dialing the number for the school library. "Giles, it's Buffy."
"Oh hello. Did you have any luck in locating, Willow?" The watcher inquired.
"She's resting. Tell Xander not to worry she's got a bug maybe home for a few days." Buffy lied with a heavy heart. She had to find Willow fast. * Please be ok.* She thought desperately.
Willow moaned as Angelus sank deep inside her. She sat astride his straining body riding him. He kissed her roughly his tongue battling for dominance with hers. The vampire's hands left her breasts to clutch her hips controlling her rhythm. Her eyes closed at the overwhelming sensation.
"Open. Your. Eyes." Angelus ground out punctuating each word with a thrust.
Slowly the witch obeyed him. Angelus' eyes had gone amber, and his demon face was showing. In that moment she felt more powerful than ever before. *Who else could bring this vampire so close to the edge and walk away unharmed? Well almost. * With that thought her hand went to the bite on her left breast.
Angelus growled at the sight of Willow caressing his mark. "You are so damn sexy."
"You're biased, Angelus." She automatically responded her hands going to his chest to explore the hard plains. Restlessly she ground her hips against him needing more friction.
"So, you wanna be in control Little One?" Angelus teased as he released his grip on her hips.
She couldn't believe this powerful vampire was conceding his control to her. Pushing her modesty aside Willow took control of the pace of their love making.
Angelus enjoyed the sight of his shy redhead pushing aside her insecurity. She was blossoming under his every gaze.
Her nails dug into the vampire's biceps as she came calling his name. Angelus stroked the sweaty hair away from her neck before biting her deeply. Winded she lay down on Angelus' chest, as he finished inside her.
