Part 15
Cordelia and Angel rushed through dinner. They needed to inform Wesley of the newest development. Bob’s invitation suggested the possibility that the missing couples might still be alive. They may have been brainwashed and are currently chanting and burning incense somewhere or they could be at an airport handing out daisies.
They needed to come up with a way for the back-up team to track their location. She was glad David had insisted his team remain nearby. If it was a human cult, the other investigators could take over. Keeping Angel out of sunny courtroom would be good. Preventing her vampire from having to swear on a bible would be good too.
Angel headed straight to the computer once they entered their room. A thought occurred to Cordelia. It might seem a little suspicious if they appeared too eager to contact their friends. They needed to wait.
Cordelia decided a distraction was in order. She began stripping out of her clothes. Once she felt Angel’s eyes on her, her quick fingers slowed. She let her blouse slide to the floor. She turned her back to him and bent over, pushing her pants to the floor.
Angel hardened as her hidden flesh was slowly revealed to him. He gulped. “Cor, umm..what are you doing?”
She turned to face him just as she opened the front clasp of her bra. “Changing.” She let the green satin fall to the floor. Her hands skimmed up her body to massage the once confined mounds of flesh. She purposely refused to make eye contact.
His groan sounded like it originated at his toes. “I thought..shouldn’t we..”
“Don’t let me disturb you.” She walked over to the dresser, her hips swaying enticingly. She selected one of his undershirts and a pair of his boxers and tossed them on the bed. She bent over again, this time removing her panties.
Angel stared at her naked form. She acted as if she were alone in the room. *’Don’t let me disturb you.’ Is she fucking insane?*
He yanked his boxers from her grasp before she even registered movement. “I’m just borrowing them. It’s only fair. You tore my brand new nightie.” She looked up at him, giving him an innocent expression. “Is there something wrong with my borrowing your clothes?” She shivered under his intense stare.
His eyes roved over her body. Her nipples were erect and begging to be suckled. Her arousal saturated the air. He took a deep breath, breathing her in. His erection pressed painfully against his jeans.
“Can I have the clothes back?”
He shook his head. He wasn’t sure he was capable of speech.
“Fine” She turned back to the dresser. She bent low at the waist, giving him a good view as she rummaged through the bottom drawer. Not finding anything she liked, she straightened and went to the closet. She pulled out one of Angel’s shirts. When she looked back at Angel, her jaw dropped. Angel was completely naked. She shook off her reaction and slipped the shirt on, only closing the bottom two buttons.
Angel watched her every move. She studiously ignored him. His cock twitched at the way her breasts were concealed from view but peeked out at him as she moved.
She disappeared into the bathroom only to return moments later with her brush. She sat down on the bed, her shirt spreading open down to her navel, and began brushing her shoulder length brown hair.
He sat down on the bed, close to her but not touching. He was enjoying her game. He would not be the one to break despite the way his fingers itched to run through her hair.
Cordelia got up and returned the brush to the bathroom. When she came out, Angel was stretched out on the bed, stroking his erection, eyes firmly closed. She saw his chest rise and fall. She knew he was breathing her in. She froze, mesmerized by the sight of her lover pleasuring himself. She shook her head. He was not going to beat her at her own tease.
Her heartbeat echoed in his ears. Her scent intensified. He expected to feel the scorching heat of her touch at any moment. His eyes popped open at the sound of typing. Cordelia was lying on her stomach on the floor facing away from him. Her legs were spread just enough to give him a small glimpse of heaven. She was propped up on her elbows with the laptop in front of her. He was shocked into speech. “What are you doing?”
“I’m checking my horoscope.”
*What?!* His erection deflated a bit at her nonchalant response. “Cor?”
“Hmm”
He crossed the room. She really was checking her horoscope. She had gone to the LA Times website. He was going to make her come to him even if it killed him. Again. He circled around her, turned the chair so it faced her and sat down. His hand resumed its slow strokes.
Cordelia glanced up briefly. She refused to stare. Cordelia Chase would NOT break. “It’s hot in here.”
He smirked. *I’m gonna win* He frowned when instead of coming to him, she went to the small refrigerator.
She grabbed a bottle of water. Unfortunately the ice machine was down the hall. Angel would kill her if she tried to leave the room with so little covering her. She tilted her head back and rolled the cold bottle along her exposed neck. “Mmmm. That feels so good. There’s nothing quite so refreshing as something cool touching heated flesh.” She switched the bottle to her other hand. Her cooled palm slid inside her shirt, cupping her breast. “Mmmm nice and cool”
Angel was so close to exploding. Watching her actions had him on a razor’s edge. Her words nearly finished him. His hands clutched the arms of the chair. He was trying to regain control but his body was desperate to give her something cool. His cock jumped and twitched at his obstinacy.
His low growl made her smile. *Time to bring out the big guns* She opened the bottle and brought it to her lips. She let the water splash a bit. “Oops” A finger slid up her neck, collecting the water. She sucked the wet digit into her mouth. She hollowed her cheeks as she slowly removed it. “Mmmm refreshing. Something cool to drink..or suck on is exactly what I need right now.”
She brought the bottle back to her mouth. She wrapped her lips around the opening, tilted her head back and drank. When she was sure she tortured him enough, she put the cap back on. She glanced over at Angel. Flecks of yellow shimmered in his eyes, his nails were biting into the fabric of the chair and his weeping cock was an angry shade of purple. She decided she was tired of the game.
He was holding on by a thread. It was no longer the desire to win that kept him in place. It was fear. His demon wanted to slam her against the wall and fuck her until she begged for mercy.
Cordelia knelt down and put the water back in the fridge. Instead of rising, she crawled toward her statuesque vampire. He was usually only this still right before he pounced on a bad guy. His control impressed her. She was surprised he hadn’t slammed her against the wall and fucked her until she couldn’t cum anymore.
The sight of her crawling toward him didn’t make him feel victorious. His desperation was too palpable to experience smug satisfaction. He refused to grab her when her hot hands touched his knees. He let her push them apart.
She placed kisses up his thigh, adding an occasional bite. Her hand wrapped around the base of his cock. He groaned as she licked a trail along the underside of his cock. She placed a kiss on the tip before swirling her tongue around it.
“Oh god!”
Her tongue dipped into the opening, collecting the drops that had formed. She sucked on the head for a moment then abruptly plunged down, swallowing him.
“Fuck!” His hands fisted in her hair as if that was the only thing preventing him from floating away. He didn’t try to control her movements. She didn’t need his directions.
Cordelia hollowed her cheeks and increased her suction. The water hadn’t really quenched her thirst. She needed him.
He looked down at the woman he loved more than anything. She was on her knees before him, swallowing him whole. Her mouth was wrapped tight around his shaft. Her mouth felt so wonderfully hot. He almost lost it when their eyes connected.
She smiled around his cock. The barely restrained need she saw in his eyes felt satisfying. It made her feel loved. It made her feel desired. She felt powerful.
When her free hand started to squeeze and fondle his sac, his head dropped back. “So fucking good!” She giggled and the vibrations nearly made him jump out of his skin. His control shattered. He banged his head against the back of the chair and howled.
Cordelia savored every drop, every spurt. Her mouth continued to clean him, careful not to miss a spot. When she finally released him, he was still hard. She moved quickly to straddle his lap. She took him in a firm grasp and sank down, sheathing him completely. There was no resistance. She was so wet for him.
“Fuck!” His eyes had slammed shut at the intensity of his orgasm. They nearly crossed at her sudden movement. Her tight walls enveloped him. He grabbed her hips. He moaned as her heat was slowly being taken away from him but it came crashing back. He opened his eyes. Her shirt had fallen off her shoulders. His mouth watered at the sight of bouncing mounds of flesh. He caught one in his mouth.
Cordelia threaded her fingers in his hair and pressed him to her breast. Her entire body hummed with pleasure.
Feeling her ride his cock to oblivion was amazing but his demon demanded he take back the control he’d lost the moment they walked into their room. The need to pound into her flared up. He wrapped an arm around her waist and stood. She wrapped her legs around his waist and did her best to continue their rhythm. Angel placed her on the table and pushed her onto her back. He lifted her legs onto his shoulders. With his hand holding her knees, he began thrusting hard and fast.
“Oh god!” She felt him go deeper than anyone had ever gone inside her. He hit nerves she wasn’t even aware she had. Her hands clutched at the smooth surface trying to find purchase as he pounded into her.
She looked up at him through her glazed eyes. Her skin was flushed. He was making her pant and mewl with pleasure. “You’re so beautiful.”
His words and his cock had her cumming hard. Colors exploded behind her eyes. Gibberish flew from her mouth. She felt him surge and explode inside her. His seed cooled the raging inferno within.
He dropped her legs and pulled her to him for a kiss. His mouth pushed her back onto the table as his knees became weak.
Cordelia stroked his back. Their bodies were slick with sweat. Reality slowly infringed on her blissful state. Her distraction had been very successful and very satisfying but it was time to email Wesley. She cleared her throat. “We should probably move. I don’t know how much more abuse this table can take.”
His spent cock slipped from her body as he straightened. He helped her into a seated position. His hands gave her breasts a possessive squeeze before he buttoned her shirt. “You look good in my shirts but I still prefer you naked.”
She slapped his bare ass. “Right back at ya.”
Angel threw her over his shoulder and headed for the bed. She shrieked as he tossed her on it.
She tried to scramble away but he caught her ankle.
“Where are you going?”
She yanked on her leg but his grip remained. “We should let Wesley know we’re going to be unreachable for a while.”
“That’s what I was trying to do when you decided to flaunt yourself in front of me.”
“What?!”
Angel released her ankle and crawled toward her. “I’m not complaining. You can have me any time you want.”
“Pfft. I was just trying to change into something more comfortable. I told you not to let me disturb you.”
“Are you trying to tell me you didn’t want to make love?”
“Not especially” He started to move away. “I was in the mood for a good fuck though.” His eyes widened. “According to Laura, a healthy sex life requires a balance of making love and fucking. She said a healthy marriage requires that both be done with your spouse.” She smiled at him. “You are awfully good at both. It’s almost criminal.”
“Laura makes an excellent point, although marriage or not, you will only be with me.”
Cordelia edged closer. “Is that a fact?” An arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her to him.
“That is most definitely a fact. I’ll never let another man touch you.”
“I see.” Her hand drifted over his chest. “And does this fact apply to both of us?”
“I promise not to let another man touch me either.”
She started laughing. “That’s very comforting.” Her smile faded.
Angel cupped her cheek. “There won’t be any other women touching me either. You are the only one I want.”
“That’s good because I would hate to have to stake the world’s champion. It might not look good on my seer’s resume.”
“Do you think you could take me?”
“If I can’t, I could always send for my subjects. I’m sure there are some Pylean warriors who would be happy to be of service to their Princess. Groo would..”
Angel trapped her hands above her head and pinned her to the bed. “I beat that idiot once. I can do it again.”
“Technically you had to morph into that whole green..pure demon form to beat him. According to Fred, he was kicking your ass before that.”
“That’s..I would..how..”
“I love it when I make you stuttery. Kiss me, you big strong manpire.”
He rolled off her. “I don’t wanna.” She questioned his prowess. He could beat that stupid Pylean tarzan wannabe. The bastard hit him after he tried to be all noble. He didn’t need to become a beast to beat that buck-toothed, big eyed himbo.
Cordelia suppressed her urge to giggle at his pouting face. It was kind of sexy the way his lip curled out. It made her want to bite it, so she did. She rolled on top of him and took his lower lip between her teeth. She nibbled and sucked on it before devouring the rest of his mouth.
He tried not to respond but his body refused to obey him. He threaded his fingers through her hair as he took control of the kiss.
She moaned into his mouth. Her need for air forced her to leave his lips but she couldn’t stop kissing him. She showered his face with kisses in between pants.
His hands slid down her back to cup her bare bottom. He rubbed her wetness against his hardening shaft. “I thought you wanted to write to Wesley?”
She released his trapped earlobe. “Who?” His laughter sent delicious vibrations down her spine straight to her dripping center. She suddenly remembered that she was the one to cave. She had lost HER game! “But if you’re not in the mood..” She rolled off him and rose from the bed. “I won’t force my needs on you.”
Angel blinked. His body couldn’t understand why it was suddenly cold again. The wonderful warmth was gone. He blinked. “Cor?”
“I don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to do.” She smiled as she walked away. *Take that!* She shrieked as she was suddenly grabbed and launched in the air. She flew at least five feet to land sprawled on the bed. Her eyes locked with his. She could tell he was barely able to retain his human features. It was the sexiest thing she’d ever seen. She watched him stalk toward her. She scooted further up on the bed.
Her legs were open for him. Only the shirt tails covered her sex. His cock bobbed as he moved closer. He crawled onto the bed. Her scent was so strong he could taste it in the air. Her heart was racing. His hands ripped her shirt open. Buttons went flying. She didn’t utter a protest. The shirt was his. He grabbed her hips and hoisted her in the air. Her back arched and her hands came down to support her weight in a half back bend.
She keened in pleasure when he buried his mouth in her mound. He was all tongue and teeth as he devoured her. Suddenly he was gone. She was about to protest when his fangs sank into her thigh. She was shocked he’d done it without her permission but then her body exploded in release. Her clit throbbed and her walls fluttered in ecstasy unlike anything she’d ever experienced. *What the fuck?*
He retracted his fangs and licked the wound until the blood stopped. He gave her clit one last nibble before lowering her body. His human features had returned but his demon was still very much in control. He abruptly flipped her onto her stomach and lifted her onto her knees.
Cordelia was still lost in pleasure. His first hard thrust shattered her reverie. There was no pause, no hesitation. He just started slamming into her body. Her hands pushed up but he pressed her shoulders down as he fucked her hard. If it hadn’t felt so unbelievably good, she would have to yell at him later.
His fingers played with her dripping center without touching her clit. Once his fingers were slick with her juices, they circled her puckered opening. He heard her sudden gasp as a single finger pushed in.
“Angel?”
“Shhh” His cock and finger began thrusting at the same pace. When he felt her relax against him, he added another finger.
She felt so full. There was a small twinge of pain but it didn’t last. The pleasure was intense. It felt as if Angel was going to split her in two yet she was loving every second of it.
He was so close. He quickened his pace. Her muscles began to tighten and spasm. His free hand pinched her engorged bundle of nerves.
“Angel!*
Her body refused to be alone in release, demand he go with her. Her vaginal walls milked him. Once spent, he removed his fingers and his cock.
She collapsed on her stomach. He fell beside her. Her body felt empty without him. Her face burned in embarrassment as her mind cleared. He’d bitten her. He’d finger-fucked her ass, all without her permission and she enjoyed it. She was shocked by her pleasure. These weren’t things she was supposed to enjoy. Sure she had considered doing them for his benefit but good girls didn’t like those things. She suddenly felt dirty. She didn’t look at Angel as she headed for the bathroom.
Angel felt wonderfully sated. His demon was content. He absently heard Cordelia rise and walk into the bathroom. The sound of a door being locked startled him. His demon retreated to the recesses of his mind. Clarity struck. She had told him she wanted to wait until they could discuss it before they made a decision about biting. He bit her anyway. She had said she didn’t see the pleasure in being taken certain ways. While it may have been his fingers instead of his cock, he had done it anyway.
Her hesitant voice echoed in his ears. “Angel?” She wanted him to stop and he shushed her. He had violated her trust. He felt sick. He’d let his demon come out to play and he took what he wanted. Their combined scent surrounded him. Evidence of their lovemaking clung to his skin. *No. Not lovemaking. I did what I wanted without thinking. I thought I knew what she’d like better than she did. I am a monster.*
He stood outside the bathroom door listening. The sound of sniffling made his soul ache. He tried the handle. It wouldn’t budge. “Cor? Please let me in.” He heard the shower turn on. She was obviously desperate to wash away his touch. “Cor please!” The sound of the spray changed. She had climbed in. She didn’t want to see him.
Angel paced in front of the door. He couldn’t lose her. She was his everything. He could suppress his demon. He wouldn’t ever let it touch her again if she just gave him another chance. He grabbed the handle and forced it to turn. The lock broke. He walked into the bathroom. He could see her silhouette behind the curtain. She hadn’t acknowledged his forced invasion.
He took a deep breath before joining her in the shower. Still she didn’t speak. He hesitantly touched her shoulder. She spun around and wrapped her arms around his neck. She buried her face and started sobbing. His arms automatically wrapped around her.
Feeling him hold her helped to calm her. She rubbed her cheek on his cool chest.
His hands gently stroked her back. He was confused. He expected her to hit him, yell at him, tell him their relationship was over. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault I’m a freak.”
“What?” He pushed her away so he could see her face. Her eyes refused to meet his. “You’re not a freak.”
“Wesley once told me about people who..who..” She buried her face in his neck and mumbled against his skin. “Who like to be bitten. They pay vampires to feed off them. They’re freaks and so am I. I..I..I enjoyed it!” She started sobbing again.
“Cor, that’s different. I told you it could be pleasurable.”
“But you didn’t really mean it. Only sickos like it. You just meant it didn’t have to hurt.”
“Cordelia, look at me. It’s hard to explain but trust me. It is very different. There is nothing wrong with enjoying it. With us, it’s a connection, a bond. It’s a beautiful thing.”
She wiped away her tears. “You’re not just saying that to make me feel better, are you? You don’t think less of me?”
“God no!” He kissed her and pulled her close. He was going to have a serious talk with Wesley. If he had to tell Cordelia about things like that, he should have explained that their addiction is to the painful pleasure and brush with death.
There is no emotional exchange between some random person and their vampire whore. Biting during physical love is completely different. He barely took a mouthful. It was meant for their pleasure. A thought occurred to him. “What about..the other thing?” The 250 year old vampire suddenly felt embarrassed.
“Oh that. Umm..that was..do you remember how I said I knew those girls back in high school who..”
“Yes”
“We called them skanky ho’s behind their backs. I mean..good girls don’t do that or at least they don’t enjoy doing it. Now look at me! I’m a..”
His hand covered her mouth. “Don’t! As I told you before, there is nothing shameful about two people in love enjoying each other. If you didn’t..”
“Pfft. Of course I enjoyed it! Why else would I be freaking out?! I mean duh. I told you I haven’t..when I was..oral sex was as close to shocking as I got. Now..I’m…”
*Oral sex was shocking?* He had the sudden desire to choke her while he kissed her senseless. “What could you possibly be freaking out about? Oh I don’t know. Maybe because the man who claimed to love you violated you against your wishes and you’re trying to come up with a way to tell him you never want him to touch you again!”
“Don’t be stupid.” His eyes told her he was serious. She gasped at the intensity of his fear. “Angel, I love you. I’m not going anywhere. I freaked out a little. It’s hardly the first time. I’ll never leave you.”
“You did leave me.”
“I went into the next room.”
“You left me alone.”
“I’m sorry.” She held him as close as she could. “Next time I’ll freak out beside you.”
“Next time?”
Her voice dropped so low he almost couldn’t hear her. “I told you I haven’t done very many things. It was pretty much the same things each time. I’ve never felt comfortable enough with someone to want to try anything new. Hell teasing you so blatantly was new for me. Why do you think I’m so afraid I’m going to disappoint you?”
“Now who’s being stupid? Believe me when I say that won’t happen. You don’t need to be afraid. You have a passionate nature and I am at your disposal for anything you might want to try.”
“Anything?”
“Anything and I promise not..”
“Don’t! I want you to show me what you enjoy and what you think I might enjoy.”
“Cor..”
“And I promise to do all my freaking out without actually leaving your arms. OK?”
“OK” He kissed the tip of her nose.
“Since we finished our insecure portion of the evening, let’s go check in with Wesley. I need him to cancel my hair appointment and remind Fred which plants she needs to talk to while we’re ‘renewing our love’.”
***
Angel sat beside her as Cordelia typed. They would talk in detail the moment they returned to the hotel. Despite her assurances to the contrary, he didn’t want to give her any more sexual surprises until she confided all her preconceived notions about sex.
For the time being, they needed to focus on the case. The danger was about to begin.
