Part 9
The women were in the dining room when the men finally joined them. Cordelia could tell by Angel’s scowl that he knew about the night’s restrictions. She would have laughed at his expression but all her energy was focused on not ravaging him. “Hi honey”
His frown disappeared briefly at her endearment then he remembered no sex for Angel tonight. “Hi” He sat down beside her, ignoring the two other women at the table. “I don’t like Jake anymore.”
The women laughed at his pout. “I’m not too crazy about Valerie either.” She rolled her eyes at the snickering women. “Why don’t you fix yourself a plate before they put the food away.”
They agreed he occasionally needed to be seen eating, but he was sick of doing things for this case. More importantly he was really tired on not doing things. They didn’t have any suspects. No suspicious behavior, symbols or anything to go on. He’d love it if Bob turned out to be a demon. Killing him would be a pleasure. He pushed away from the table just as the other husbands returned with their dinners.
“Angel doesn’t seem very happy.”
“He doesn’t like being told he can’t have sex. It makes him cranky.”
Laura gently elbowed Cordy. “You weren’t too happy either.”
“Can you blame her?” Donna pointed at Angel. “If my husband looked like him, I’d probably keep him chained to my bed.”
George glared at his wife. “Why don’t we switch? You can spend the night with Angel while I enjoy the pleasure of Cordy’s company.” He hadn’t noticed Angel approaching.
“What did you say about my wife?”
George gulped at Angel’s menacing look. “I was just kidding.” He looked at Cordelia. “Sorry. I hope I didn’t offend you.”
“Don’t worry. Unlike my husband, I have a sense of humor.” She winked at Donna. “My hubby is pretty yummy. I’m gonna have to remember your idea about the chains.” She gave Angel a once over. “Maybe when we get home?”
Angel gulped. He hadn’t heard Donna’s comment but he did have a few fantasies that involved chains. He sat down before anyone could notice the bulge forming in his pants.
“I think you scared him.”
“You’d be amazed at what Angel can handle.” She noticed Angel shifting in his chair. She gave his knee a reassuring squeeze.
“You can go into details in tomorrow’s workshop. I enjoy being amazed.”
“You do notice I’m sitting next to you?”
“We ladies like to talk about sex too Rob. Men don’t have a monopoly on the subject.”
“Laura was kind enough to explain all about one way streets earlier.”
Laura shot Donna a dirty look before she burst out laughing. “C’mon sweetie. Say goodnight.”
Rob gave a confused wave before following his wife.
“C’mon George. Let’s go not have sex.”
“How’s that different than any other night we’ve been here?”
“Shut up”
Angel glanced around their empty table. “Was it something I said?”
“I think they were just eager to go not have sex. I know I’m excited about spending all night with you without feeling any pressure to have sex. It’s such a relief.” She didn’t notice how her words rendered him speechless. “Do you think if I keep telling myself that I’ll be able to resist jumping your bones for an entire night?”
“I think I just experienced my first heart attack.”
“Huh?”
“For one awful moment I believed you meant that.”
“I’m sorry. I guess I forget sometimes what an amazing actress I can be. I’m all for the naked part of tonight’s directions but the no sex part sucks! Which is apparently the only thing I can do tonight.”
Angel started choking on a carrot. “Went down the wrong pipe.”
“Still not good with the solids, are you?” She laughed at his glare. “C’mon. Let’s go get naked.”
He groaned. “I think there is a conspiracy against me.” At her raised brow, he continued. “Someone’s trying to drive me crazy. How am I supposed to be near your naked body and not ravage you?”
“I would think given your previous circumstances, you would have more control.”
“That’s just it. I’ve used up all my self control.”
“I see so I’m just an outlet for all your sexual frustrations, an inflatable doll with a pulse?” Her smile told him she was only teasing.
“Exactly. Do you have a problem with that?”
“Not really. You’re just my walking vibrator complete with an attachable mouth.” She burst out laughing at his shocked expression. “I think I spent too much time with the other wives.”
He pulled her hand to his mouth and placed a kiss on her palm.
***
Bob watched the couple on his monitor. He was glad he convinced Valerie and Jake to issue the no sex rule. They hadn’t liked his original no intimacies of any kind suggestion. He reached up and covered Angel’s image. “I will protect you from him. You will learn to love me as soon as I teach you what real love is.”
***
Cordelia started pacing once they reached their room. She needed to distract herself. Wesley told them to follow the counselors instructions and so far their record wasn’t great. Bob’s advice had been ignored. They’d been late to a few sessions. Sex after midnight was out of the question. They needed to be good. *We’ll just have to wait…until morning. That definitely wouldn’t be cheating. Talking is a good distraction.* “So how was the men’s workshop?”
“Awkward. I’m not exactly a kiss and tell kinda guy.”
She wasn’t really listening to his response. She wanted him to answer the question he’d already answered. “Do I really satisfy you?”
“What?”
“I was listening to the other wives and it got me thinking. I know you love me and it was a whole new level of bliss blah blah blah.”
He couldn’t believe his ears. She just blah blahed his bliss.
She continued pacing, never meeting his eyes. “They were talking about all these different things. Stuff I’ve never tried. Stuff I never even thought about trying. Outfits? When I think of outfits, I think lingerie. Like the nightie I brought with me.”
*What nightie?*
“Why would I want you to dress like a fireman? Am I a freak because you dressing in colors is enough to turn me on?”
*What did I do with that light blue shirt?*
“Everything seemed to be a negotiation. I do that to you so you’ll do this to me. Am I a freak because I enjoy taking you in my mouth? I like feeling the way you quiver and I love those cute growls you make. I like the way your hands fist in my hair.” She ran her fingers through her hair. “They made swallowing sound gross and unnatural. Am I a freak because I enjoy tasting you?”
Her words made adjusting his straining erection a necessity.
“And role playing? I don’t like the idea of you wanting to pretend I’m someone else. I mean, if we’re clear on the fact that it’s still me only I’m a…nurse or something, that could be fun.”
*I can’t wait until the next time I’m injured.*
“As for movies, I only watched one once. I thought it was kinda gross. Besides you’ve been around long enough to not need any inspiration. I’d be open to different positions. I am not a prude. I mean it’s not like I only want to do it missionary style. I was a varsity cheerleader. I’m flexible dammit!”
He adjusted himself again. *Aren’t we supposed to be naked?*
“And public places? Am I a total freak because I enjoyed having sex with you in the closet? If I am then I probably shouldn’t tell you about some of my other fantasies, like the one involving Wesley’s desk or the one about my desk or in the plymouth and definitely not the one where we do it on your balcony. I am a freak!”
Angel started banging his head against the back of the couch. *Doesn’t she remember we’re not allowed to have sex tonight? Is she trying to kill me?*
“What about…anal sex? I knew some girls in high school who did that because they couldn’t get pregnant from that. I gotta say I never saw the appeal. Mainly I just thought ‘oww’. Is that something you enjoy? ‘Cause given your size, I just don’t even see how it’s possible. Pain has never really turned me on but you’re a va..oh god! I totally don’t satisfy you. I can’t believe you lied to me! I don’t want you to spare my feelings. I want to know what pleases you. I haven’t had very much experience. Oh god, is there anything you haven’t done? I bet that skanky ho knew how to please you, given her track record. They were right. Sex with me will get stale. How am I supposed to keep you happy? I can learn. You just have to be honest with me.”
She buried her face in her hands. “I’m pathetic! Who wants a woman you need to train to be a good lover.” Her head popped up. “Maybe there’s a class I can take? I could watch those movies..”
Angel stopped her frantic words with a kiss. His tongue took advantage of her open mouth. He would have silenced her sooner but his hard-on made it difficult to walk. The kiss deepened until he felt her body relax.
She resisted her need to breath as long as she could. Her brain had turned to mush. She turned and gulped the needed air. “What were we talking about?”
He nuzzled her neck. “You are not a freak. You do satisfy me and I don’t ever want you to compare yourself to Darla. She never gave me a single blissful moment. There is nothing wrong with finding pleasure in giving the person you love pleasure. And we will try new things when we’re both ready. There’s no rush. Believe me when I say making love with you will never EVER grow stale. I will never want to pretend that you are someone else, although role playing doesn’t have to be like that. Your nurse idea has possibilities but I don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to do just to make me happy and I never want to inflict pain on you. Seeing you in pain, tears me up inside.”
He leaned back to look into her eyes. “You are a wonderful lover.”
“Really?”
“Yes and there a lots…well several things I’ve never done.”
“Like what?”
“I have never dressed up like a fireman.”
She buried her face in his chest, laughing.
“Speaking of outfits, you mentioned something about a nightie?”
“That was my surprise.”
“Go put it on and I’ll act surprised.”
She slapped his chest. “Maybe tomorrow night.” Her hand stroked his chest. “Aren’t you supposed to be naked?”
“Jake mentioned something like that.”
“Well?”
He lifted her shirt over her head. “I believe it applied to both of us.”
Laughing, they quickly undressed each other.
She could tell by the look in his eyes another distraction was needed. Talking had only made them want each other more. He was already rock hard with need. She side stepped his reaching hands.
“Cor?”
“Let’s take a nice relaxing bubble bath. We should take advantage of that oversized bathtub while we can.”
He didn’t want any of her delicious curves to be covered by bubbles but washing every inch of her body was an appealing thought. “OK”
“Stay here while I get it ready.”
***
Bob smacked the screen again. “Dammit! I want to hear what they’re saying.” His eyes narrowed as he took in Angel’s naked form “You don’t deserve her. She is perfection. She needs kindness. She needs gentleness. I will make her happy.”
***
Angel stood in the doorway watching her bend over the tub. *I wonder if she’d get mad if I went up behind her and..*
“Don’t even think about it.”
“What? I wasn’t thinking anything.” He gave her his best innocent ‘who me’ face.
“Hmmph. Bath’s ready.” She reached over and grabbed a squishy ball. “I can’t forget my loufah?” She blushed as her careless remark replayed in her head. Thankfully Wesley was a gentleman.
Angel stepped into the tub behind her. He pulled her back to rest against his chest. His lips brushed her ear as he whispered. “I don’t share. I suggest you let Dennis know that. I’d hate to have to exorcise him.”
“Don’t even joke about that. Unless you want this,” she grasped his erection in a firm grip “to become very lonely.”
“I don’t share.” He whimpered at the loss of her touch.
“No one is asking you to. If you want the job as my back scrubber, I have no objections.”
“I accept” He picked up the loufah and began washing her chest.
“Do I have to go over your job description again?”
“I’m an over-achiever.”
“Mmmmm”
The loufah slipped from his fingers. He resumed his duties with just his hands.
“You dropped something.”
“Did I? I better go looking for it.” One hand began moving south. It worked its way through her curls to explore her swollen folds. The other hand caressed her breasts, pinching her nipples.
Her head lulled to the side exposing her neck. He rewarded her trust with kisses. When he reached her pulse point, his mouth latched onto it. He could feel her blood pumping. He could almost taste it. All he needed to do was shift his features and his teeth would sink in.
She would be marked as his for all the world to see. He wondered if she would allow it. Would she scream? Would she think he was trying to drain her? Would she assume he’d lost his soul? Would she be disgusted by his demon’s need to mark her as its mate? Would she understand what that meant? He was brought out of his reverie by the sound of her clearing her throat. He realized his hand had stopped its pleasuring. “Sorry”
She pushed his hands away and moved to rest against the opposite side of the tub. “Don’t be. I don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to do either. Maybe we should just get out.” She started to stand.
Angel grabbed her and pulled her in for a kiss, plundering her mouth. He moved her legs so she straddled him. Her hand reached between them to stroke his length. She desperately wanted to feel him fill her.
He clutched her hips and lifted, hoping to enter her wonderfully tight, hot passage. The hand on his neck slid down to his chest and pushed. He released her hips.
Cordy wasn’t sure where she got the strength to resist him. She broke the kiss when he suddenly thrust two fingers inside her. Her hips rocked against him. She began stroking him in the same rhythm. She moaned as his free hand began kneading a breast.
It wasn’t long before they were both teetering on the edge. She kissed her way down his neck. When she reached where his pulse point would be, she bit down hard.
He came with a roar. His fingers curled, stroking her in just the right spot, sending her spiraling over the edge.
“Angel!”
He panted unnecessarily for breath. *God I love it when she bites me. I wonder if it means she okay with me biting her.*
Cordy rested her forehead against his shoulder. “See. Who needs sex?” She felt his chest rumble with laughter. “Is it tomorrow yet?”
“If I say yes, will you let me make love to you?”
“Are you asking permission to lie to me?”
“Yes but it’s okay to lie when you’re trying to get the woman you love into bed.”
“Your logic is frightening and a total mood killer.” She looked at her hands. “Eww”
“Making that sound when I’m naked does nothing for my fragile self esteem.”
She snorted. “I’m getting all pruney.”
“Maybe I should check to see if you taste like one too.”
“Ewwww” She rolled her eyes at his growl. “In case you aren’t aware, prunes taste gross. Old people eat them to stay regular. The mood is officially ruined.” She stood up and climbed out of the tub.
*Damn! Foiled by my lack of human taste buds.* He pulled the stopper to drain the tub.
After Cordy dried herself off, she began applying lotion.
Angel wrapped a towel around his hips and watched her. She started with her arms, paying extra attention to her elbows. Her stomach and chest were covered next. He licked his lips when her hands cupped her breasts careful not to miss a spot. She rested her foot on the edge of the sink as she worked the lotion into her right leg. Her left leg was given the same attention.
“Do you want me to put some on your back?”
“No thanks”
She grabbed a different bottle of lotion and applied it to her neck and face. “Are you planning on staring at me all night?” Once that was done, she began brushing her hair.
“Yes” He noticed the way her breast would rise and fall with each brush stroke. He never considered himself to be a breast man but her perfect breasts inspired worship. “You are so beautiful.”
His soft words made her blush. She turned to face him. Her eyes roved his body. He truly was her idea of perfection. “You’re not so bad yourself, broody boy.”
He ran his hand across his stomach. “So you don’t think I’m fat?”
She laughed at his puppy dog face. “When did you become a girl?”
“You’re the one who’s given me a complex.”
She arched a brow. “Well you could stand to lose a few pounds.” She giggled. “I’m kidding.” Her fingertips lightly stroked his chest. “You are perfect.”
“Could I get that in writing?” She smacked his chest. “I just want something I could show you the next time you call me fat.”
“Pfft. You’re too sensitive. Are you sure you’re not a girl?”
Angel peeled off his towel revealing a very interested penis. “What do you think?”
“I’m thinking I used too much cold water in our bath.” His horrified eyes looked down. “I’m kidding. Geez. Sense of humor much.” She dodged his hands as he lunged at her. With a shriek, she ran from the bathroom.
“You’re gonna pay for that one.” And the chase began.
She did her best to evade his grasp but her laughter slowed her down. He tackled her to the floor. To the casual observer, their wrestling would seem rough but they’d never seen them train together. Although this was the first time they done it naked.
Angel pinned her to the floor. Her fighting skills were hindered by her efforts to keep her legs together.
“Beg for mercy.”
“I don’t beg.”
He used one hand to trap her arms above her head. “I said beg for mercy.”
“No” His free hand started tickling her. “Stop!”
“That doesn’t sound like begging.” His torture increased.
“Angel! Stop it! No!” She managed to shout between giggles.
“Say please and I’ll stop”
She bucked her hips trying to throw him off. It was no use. She couldn’t make use of her strong legs without separating them which she knew would only lead to trouble. “Please!”
He stopped. “Was that so hard?”
“Jerk”
Angel stretched out to blanket her body with his. “Is that any way to talk to your darling husband?”
“A darling husband wouldn’t take pleasure in making his wife beg.”
“I don’t know about that. Your bottom lip does this adorable pout that makes me want to kiss you all over.”
“I do not pout.”
He laughed. “There’s that lip. You asked for it.” His lips descended before she could argue.
***
Bob threw a pillow at the screen. He watched as Angel kissed and nibbled a path down Cordelia’s body. He was disgusted with himself for stroking his erection while another man pleasured his future bride.
Cordelia writhed under Angel’s tongue. He could see her trembling. He imagined he was the one between her heavenly thighs savoring her taste. He would never be so rough with her. The way that brute struggled with her until he overpowered her was criminal. He would show Cordelia gentleness. He would show her respect.
He watched Angel make her cum. Her scream was the only sound the defective equipment picked up. He quickened his strokes when he realized Angel hadn’t stopped his attentions. Semen shot across his hand and stomach as she came again. Her scream echoed in his mind. “It will be my name you call out soon.”
***
Angel had reduced her to a quivering mass. Her whole body went limp. She could taste herself in his kiss. “Wow”
“Good things happen to girls that beg.”
“I’m so gonna kick your ass as soon as I can move.”
“Mmmm” He nuzzled her neck. “You’re defenseless. I can have my wicked way with you and to hell with the quacks who run this place.”
“You could but you’d have to do all the work.”
“I can do that.”
“OK. Wake me when you’re finished.” She let her eyes drift shut.
“I’ll be quick. You go ahead and sleep.”
She slapped his back.
“I thought you couldn’t move?”
“Ass”
He laughed at her glare. “C’mon. Let’s move this to the bed.”
“Can’t move”
“Uh huh” He lifted her into his arms and dropped her onto the bed.
“Hey!”
He laid down beside her. “I could have left you on the floor. At least you got some satisfaction.”
“So it is a negotiation. You do that so I’ll do this.” She rolled over to kiss her way down his body stopping to nibble on his nipples.
“Cor, I was just..”
“Shut up. It’s my turn to kiss you all over.” Her tongue dipped into his navel.
“I don’t want you to do anything you don’t..Fuck!”
She raised his knees. Lifting his sac with her hand, her tongue licked a trail starting with his puckered opening. She paid particular attention to the skin just behind his testicles.
“God!”
Her tongue traced the vein in his cock before lightly sucking on the tip.
His hips thrust desperate to be inside her warm mouth but she leaned back.
“I think this is the part where you beg me for release.”
“What?” She couldn’t be serious.
“What can I say? Payback’s a bitch.”
He groaned in frustration when she sat up. “Cor!”
“The word you’re searching for is please.”
“Cordelia, you can’t just..”
“I think I can. You have two choices. Beg or enjoy the pleasure of your hand.” She watched his internal struggle clearly displayed on his face.
He gritted his teeth. “Please”
“Was that so hard?” She started from the beginning. She lifted his knees and licked the same trail.”
“Fuck!”
Her tongue traced the same vein before lightly sucking on the tip.
“Please!” He couldn’t bear it if she stopped again.
She took him into her mouth. His hips thrust sending him deeper. She relaxed her throat allowing him to continue his thrusts.
“Oh please!”
Her giggle at his desperation sent wonderful vibrations up and down his spine. “Please!”
She increased her suction, hollowing her mouth. She could feel him begin to tense. His whole body seemed to quiver. Her throat relaxed a little more. She restrained his hips and began to deep throat him. Taking him in until her nose brushed his curls.
“So good. Don’t stop…so fucking good.” His hands fisted in her hair but didn’t try to control her movements.
She gave his sac a gentle squeeze while her teeth gently scraped his length.
“Cordelia!” He felt her throat contract around him with each swallow. He pulled her up for a passionate kiss. “That was wow.” Brown eyes locked with hazel. “But I don’t want you to feel obligated to do that. I enjoy..”
“Have you met me? Cordelia Chase..Murphy doesn’t do anything she doesn’t want to do. I told you before I like tasting you. I like the way you quiver. I like the way I make you growl. OK? There are no martyrs in our bed.”
“I love you”
“That’s good to know ’cause I don’t just do that for any guy who says I’m beautiful.”
Angel flipped them over. His brown eyes flashed yellow for a moment. “You don’t EVER do that for anyone but me!”
She rolled her eyes at his grr display. “Duh” Her eyes narrowed. “That works both ways mister!”
“Duh”
***
Bob continued to stare at the couple rolling around on their bed kissing. Didn’t she see how he kept trying to dominate her. “I will make you understand and then you will be mine!”
