Lying in bed, facing one another, Buffy roamed her eyes over his face and wanted nothing more than to kiss every single part that she could. After his explosive therapy session this weekend, he had asked her not to call, saying that he wasn't going to be much company.

The session had been a breakthrough, the brothers had explicitly shared why they held animosity for each other, both feeling the other should accept full responsibility but it hadn't changed a thing. Too many years of hurt and anger lay between them. They knew it and their parents began to accept it, Angel would never fully forgive Damien, nor Damien forgive Angel.

It broke his heart that he lost not only a sister but his brother in a ways, too. They did accept that happy families wouldn't be them, however, they agreed for the sake of their parents that they would try to be civil whenever in each others presence. Unfortunately, Elena still wanted them to work with Jenny for a number of weeks more.

Buffy had worried but at least he still replied to her messages, he had text when he was at the airport and when he had landed back West. Having already asked his mom his flight details she met him at the airport in LA and surprised him, pulling him into her embrace.

They had made their way back to Sunnydale in silence, only his thumb stroking her hand, letting her know that he was thankful for her being there. Without greeting Linds', they made their way up to his room and got underneath the duvet once stripping down to their underwear.

Her heart ached for him, he had told her in as little words as possible of what happened and she could feel the emotional turmoil radiating off him. His eyes were shut but he wasn't asleep, leaning over she pressed her lips to his, feeling almost nothing in return.

"Angel, I'm here for you… if you need to talk, or even if you're wanting to be alone, I can take a hint…" she didn't really want to go, this week they had only saw each other for an hour before he had to leave and she missed him.

In response he pulled her closer and kissed her forehead, he had been debating wether or not to ask her to head home as he didn't think she'd want to sit in silence. He didn't want her to leave though, her comforting presence was trying to shift his foul mood "Stay"

Buffy nodded and snuggled in closer, she kissed his chest and felt his breath hitch in his throat, when she done it again she smiled when he breathed out her name "Huh?" She looked up to him mischievously and kissed his chest a third time. The back of her mind was warning her not to rush him but then again, if her plan worked then maybe it would take his mind off his misery.

His hand came up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear as she leaned down to kiss him soundly, as his tongue slipped into her mouth she pulled away and planted open mouthed kissed down his chest and stomach. Angel screwed his eyes shut as she tugged on his boxers and slipped them off before taking him into her mouth.

Automatically his hand palmed the back of her head, winding his fingers through her long hair, not forcing her but just holding her there. When he dared to look, his eyes caught hers looking up at him as she took him deeper into her mouth, he let out a moan and closed his eyes again.

When she slowed her movements and leaned back on her knees he twisted himself to grab a condom from the drawer and quickly sheathed himself. Buffy straddled his waist and leaned down to kiss him, as his fingers worked on her in a fast and furious pace. Grasping his hard length, she lowered herself onto him slowly, feeling him stretch her inch by inch.

Letting her set the pace, his large hands circled her slim waist and eased her movements as she lifted herself up and sunk back down on him. It wasn't before long when her hips began to rotate at a furious pace, gripping her tight he thrust up into her, causing her to wince and groan at the feeling he was creating within her.

Angel wrapped his arms around her and pulled her flush against his chest as she moaned aloud as her orgasm crashed over her. He kept his hard and fast thrusting for a few moments longer before joining her in ecstasy. He slowly pumped his hips until he came to a complete stop and let out a breathy laugh.

Buffy scraped her teeth against his chest playfully before easing off him and lying against his side "Wow" each time she thought she knew how good sex could feel, he always managed to up his game but this time she was more sensitive than she had ever been. He carefully disposed of the condom into the bin and relaxed back against the pillow, pulling her close again.

Wow. Yeah, that's the same feelings he has towards her. He was still taking it slow with her, in their time together he let her take the lead most of the time. He wanted nothing more than to be intimate every time they were together but didn't want her to feel like that was expected each time she came over.

Looking at the digital clock, he knew he was due in class in an hours time but he didn't care, he didn't want to leave this embrace. She had already told him that she was skipping class wether he was or not, so he decided to just remain with her.

His fingers worked their way through her hair as he smiled down at her, when she blushed and smiled back he felt his heart soar. Although he had had a shitty weekend, having her in his arms made him feel like he had it all. He came down to kiss her softly and as he pulled back he could see that spark of passion in those jade eyes of hers.

She looked from his eyes down to his lips as she wetted her lip with her tongue. Seeing his eyes darken a shade or two, she leaned over to kiss him soundly then let out a surprised yelp as he rolled her underneath him.

Angel leaned down to whisper in her ear what she meant to him and how hard she made him feel, all the whilst his fingers began to tease her nipples, then leave a tingly trail down her stomach and to just above where she really wanted him to touch her.

Buffy arched her back and let out a silent scream as his digits teased her before sliding their way in and out, his thumb relentlessly teasing her nub. When he felt her clench around his fingers he increased the pressure and looked up into her face just in time to see her scream in pleasure. Burning that image of her into his memory.

Oooooooooooooooo

Giving her hair a final blast with the hairdryer she had acquired from Lindsay, she parted her hair and smoothed it down before smiling at her reflection in the mirror. Angel had said that he would sleep through any noise she would make and that was true, as there he was still snoozing away in his bed.

She made her way back over to the bed and crawled beside him, giving his nose a tickle and whispering "Angel…" she done it twice more and giggled when he finally roused from his slumber, rubbing and twitching his nose "Time to get up, its almost time for food"

Angel blinked a couple of times to refocus then smiled kindly at her, although he wasn't one for napping, this had been just what he needed. He didn't feel as drained as he did when he left to come back here. He leaned up on one elbow and closed his eyes as she closed the gap and kissed him softly.

"We can always stay in and get take out delivered?" He wiggled his eyebrows at her, in the hopes of changing her mind but seeing her lips press together tightly, he knew that he wouldn't win.

Buffy snorted "We can stay in if you want but you promised me you'd take me out for dinner…" she leaned over and sat astride him, pining his arms against the bed "and as much as I love spending time in bed with you, you promised me food and dancing" she smiled widely when his face darkened at the thought of going anywhere near a dance floor.

Angel broke free of her grasp and slid his hands softly across her back, pulling her down against his chest. He nipped at her lips then sighed "I did promise…" she let out an excited screech before he silenced her with another kiss "Okay, lets get going before you change your mind"

She got up from the bed and grinned at him, before pulling her robe off and changing into a dress that she had packed before leaving for the airport. Feeling his dark gaze watch her every movement, she smoothed down the soft material and done a twirl for him, thanking the gods that she'd snagged the last one from the store at the weekend.

When she pointed at him to stop as he came close, he chuckled when her finger waved towards the bathroom, knowing that if he touched her then they'd be back to square one "Okay, shower…" he nodded at her and stole a quick kiss before leaving her alone in the room.

Buffy snickered then made her way down to the living room, when she got there, Linds' was watching TV with those oversized headphones on, clearly trying to drown any external noise out. A blush crept up her cheeks as he sensed her presence and looked at her.

He carefully removed the headphones and whistled at her "my, my darlin' don't you look pretty" she blushed further but narrowed her eyes at him "Y'all going somewhere?" As much as he was happy for his friend, wearing noise cancelling headphones was beginning to become the norm for him.

Buffy sat down beside him "Dinner, dancing, the works" when he quirked his eyebrow at her she cleared her throat "I know Angels not that guy but he promised, besides, we wont get to see each other until next week" she frowned, internally cursing her upcoming midterm and his time back East.

Lindsay bumped his shoulder against hers and laughed "You have that boy wrapped around your pretty little finger Buffy, Ive never known him to go so easily to The Bronze… I'm glad, you both deserve happiness" after what happened with Damien, he feared that she would split and leave Angel heartbroken.

He watched as she bit her lip and looked to her hands, holding back a beaming smile. He could appreciate her beauty and fully understood why Angel was so smitten with her, not only was she a looker but she knew how to have a good time. Every now and then he would curse the fact that Angel met her first.

They fell into an easy conversation about coursework and upcoming exams, Linds' tried to impart his own wisdom for stress which involved a whole lot of beer and waking up beside a 'hotty', as he put it. Buffy giggled and shook her head at him, although she was more comfortable with his oh so open attitude, openly sharing stories was something she didn't want to partake in.

Angel cleared his throat and extended his hand out towards her, to which she linked her fingers through his and waved goodbye to his roommate. Lindsay smirked and shouted after them "Don't expect me to wait up for ya" then laughed at the glare that was thrown his way from the pair of them as they left.

They had dinner at a quaint little restaurant on the edge of town, the pasta was divine and the dessert was better. Not being massive on PDA, Angel stole a few kisses throughout dinner that made her shift uncomfortably in her seat. Buffy bit her lip and shook her head when he suggested heading straight back to his, reminding him that dancing was non-negotiable.

As it was a Monday night, The Bronze was a little less busy than usual so they got a booth without worry and spent a bit of time just basking in each others company, listening to the music the band on stage were playing. After Angel had knocked back a couple of drinks, he finally let her pull him onto the dance floor.

Buffy closed her eyes and laid her head on his chest, loving the feeling on being wrapped in his arms, feeling his warmth and his heart beat. She could feel his thumb rub circles on her spine as they swayed to the melody, after a little she felt a swirly sickly feeling work its way through her. She leaned up to whisper to him that she needed to be excused and made her way to the restroom.

Looking in the mirror, she lifted her hair off her neck and wafted her hand in front of her face in the hopes of cooling down. She turned on the faucet and let the cold water run over her wrist for a moment before grabbing a paper napkin and dabbing it dry.

When he saw her approach he immediately went to her side and tipped her head up to look in her eyes "Everything okay?" He noted that she looked a little off but otherwise didn't seem unwell.

Buffy let out an uneasy laugh "Yeah, I'm okay I guess, just feeling a little off" she rubbed her arm and looked at the floor, unhappy that her night with Angel was ending not on a high note. He asked if she wanted to go home and she nodded sadly, once they grabbed their jackets they headed in the direction of her dorm, so that he made sure she got home okay.

Angel ran his thumb over her lips and smiled "Did you have fun?"

Buffy nodded and smiled back at him "Yeah, although we DO have to go back dancing again…" seeing him drop his smile she bit her lip "We never got to finish our dance…" she leaned up onto her tip toes so she could kiss him teasingly.

Angel groaned against her mouth "Okay… okay" seeing the bright smile coming from her made him thankful for being given the chance to be with her after everything that had happened "Get to bed and let me know how you're feeling tomorrow, okay?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and nodded, wanting just a few more moments of being in his arms "Goodnight, Angel" he gave her a squeeze before coming down to kiss her softly, replying good night. Once she unlocked her door, she turned to wave him as he headed down the hall and out of sight.

Buffy leaned against the closed door and closed her eyes, wanting nothing more than to scream about how he made her feel. She took a moment before grabbing her wash bag and headed for the bathroom, eagerly wanting to crawl into bed and get some rest.
