\u201cTen frickin\u2019 bucks for 2nd place in a beauty contest? That is so bogus.\u201d Cordelia tossed the card down with disgust.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich\u2026that you\u2019d only win ten dollars or that you came in second?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy grinned at Angel. \u201cBoth. Obviously, for me to come in second, it had to be a contest, like, of supermodels\u2026.\u201d Angel grinned. \u201cSo the 2nd place I can buy, but ten bucks? Where was this contest\u2026on a public access channel?\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel took up the dice and rolled, moving the racecar token 10 spaces. Cordy sighed as he landed on Boardwalk. Shit. He already had Parkplace, and 3 of the 4 railroads. This sucked. He grinned up at her, an evil, scheming, diabolical grin, and counted out the money for the property.<\/p>\n

Great. He had the blues, he had the railroads, and he had a huge pile of money. She wasn\u2019t doing too bad\u2026.she owned the greens and the reds and both utilities, and had four houses on the reds. But owning the blues\u2026..not the killshot, but close.<\/p>\n

Angel waved the blues in her face, just to annoy her. \u201cSee something you like, Cordy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn paper, yeah.\u201d Cordy\u2019s tone was dry.<\/p>\n

Angel grinned, unrepentant, and began counting out money to get houses. Cordy watched him with detachment. \u201cUm, Angel, sure you wanna buy all the houses at once?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy, yes, I am, little girl. I got the cash, I have the houses\u2026.\u201d He looked down at the property deed for Boardwalk for a moment. \u201cAnd I do believe I\u2019ll have a hotel. Someplace for you to go, you know, when I bankrupt you.\u201d He grinned a big goofy grin and scooped up to red hotels and plunked them down on his properties.<\/p>\n

Cordy watched him, expressionless. After buying the property, the houses, and the hotel, Angel was down to 175 dollars. Cordelia looked down at his depleted account and back up at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, owning the prime properties doesn\u2019t make winning a sure thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNope. Know that. Me being financially astute makes winning a sure thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFinancially astute?\u201d Cordy laughed. \u201cOh please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel settled back, his turn over. \u201cWorried you\u2019re going to lose?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo worries here, moneybags. Because your ass is grass and I\u2019m a lawnboy. I\u2019m so gonna mow you down and I, Cordelia Chase, will be Queen of Boardwalk.\u201d She rolled and sighed, counting up and landing on the Go To Jail space. She trotted her little man on the horse token across the board and smacked him down to the square.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdding to the rap sheet, Cordy?\u201d Angel grinned as he rolled the dice. An eleven. He rounded Go and made varoom varoom noises as he pushed his racecar to a screeching halt at the Just Visiting space. He grinned at her as he settled back. \u201cHoney, ya gotta quit turning tricks. I\u2019ll take care of you, promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy stuck her tongue out at him and rolled the dice, frowning as she didn\u2019t get the doubles she was hoping for.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust pay the 50 bucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I know you really want to win. You never think anyone should pay the money to get out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel grinned as he picked up the dice. 7. Community Chest. Cordy took a sip of her beer while he read, \u201cPay school tax of $150.\u201d He looked down, frowning. Cordelia smiled slightly as he tossed the money into the middle of the board.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot a lot of cash there, Mr. Financially Astute.\u201d Angel looked at her, no longer smiling. He leaned back and took a pull off his own beer.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeeling the heat, Cordy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, yes, the glowy heat that comes with wiping up the floor with a cocky vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel met her gaze. \u201cThe floor isn\u2019t wiped yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure about that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUm\u2026yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel jiggled the dice in the palm of his hand, watching her a moment. \u201cYou seem pretty sure of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHello\u2026.money, and spending it? I am such a pro. This is my game\u2026.\u201d She grinned, picking up the small iron token and waving it at him. \u201cThese are my peeps.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got the big cards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel\u2019s eyes glinted at her a moment. She sucked in a shallow breath. He looked down at the board, thinking a bit. \u201cYou\u2019re pretty sure of you. Wanna make a small bet on it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy licked her lips. \u201cWhat kind of bet?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe a little bit of Winner Takes All.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy was silent. \u201cAll?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll. The jackpot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy sipped at her beer, thinking. \u201cAnd the jackpot would be\u2026\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel was silent a moment, then his lips twitched and he looked up at her. She sucked in a breath deeper than before. This was going to be good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe jackpot would be the loser at the mercy of the winner till sunrise.\u201d<\/p>\n

A slow smile curved Cordy\u2019s lips. \u201cMercy? You don\u2019t know what the word means.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSince you\u2019re so sure of yourself, you got no worries, babe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHmmmm. So one of us gets a sexslave for\u2026\u201d she looked at the clock. \u201cOh, about 8 hours. I don\u2019t know, old man\u2026.think you\u2019re up to it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBaby, you\u2019re the one who needs to worry. I\u2019ve got big plans\u2026.and several of them\u2026.for you to fulfill.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are so going down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNope. You going down on me is one of the plans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy shrieked with laughter and threw a pillow at Angel\u2019s head. He easily caught it and placed it behind his head. His grin was easy and calculating. \u201cDeal?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo much a deal, Trump could only sit here and admire, Sweets. You\u2019re toast.\u201d Angel grinned at her and rolled the dice.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

15 minutes later he was no longer grinning. All of his properties were mortgaged and he had to sell his houses. Continued landings on Illinois Avenue had wiped him out, and Cordelia had managed several turns around the board without landing on a single one of his properties.<\/p>\n

Grimly, Angel picked up the dice and rolled. Cordelia counted in her head and jumped up, squealing. With a heavy sigh, Angel moved the racecar, no longer with the accompanying varoom varoom noises, to the Electric Company and smacked it down onto the space.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo me, go me\u2026I won, I won\u2026..I have the money, honey\u2026.I am the Queen\u2026\u201d Cordelia danced around in a circle, her hips swaying as she waved her arms over her head. Angel watched her as he sipped at his beer, grinning to himself at her lack of inhibition. \u201cSex slave! Sex Slave! I got a sex slave!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGloating is a poor habit, Cordy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, so\u2019s losing.\u201d Cordy danced around the sofa, giggling as she scooped up her beer. \u201cI know, I know, no one likes a poor winner. Hey, you know what I like? THAT I HAVE A SEX SLAVE!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes you do.\u201d She grinned as he rose and set his beer down. \u201cAll you have to do is to tell me what to do\u2026.\u201d He stalked towards her, all taut grace. \u201c\u2026and I\u2019ll do it. All over. Over and over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy had stopped hopping and was staring into his eyes, drawn by the lazy sensuality she saw in the dark chocolate depths. He stopped right in front of her, looking down at her. She shifted on her feet, never breaking the gaze.<\/p>\n

He lifted one hand and slowly stroked her face before gently kissing her and whispering in her ear, \u201cYou have to command me. I\u2019m new at this slave thing\u2026.I want to do it just right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah. No worries there.\u201d Cordelia felt a languid heat pour through her body. She loved this. Playful Angel was fun Angel. Fun Angel was sexy Angel. Sexy Angel was\u2026…delightfully exhausting. They both stood still, and finally Cordelia shifted a little impatiently. \u201cSo\u2026.slave away, already.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told you\u2026\u201d Angel\u2019s voice was low and patient. \u201cI\u2019m new to this. I can only meet the needs of my Mistress when she tells me what they are.\u201d Cordy stared up at him, nonplussed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh. Okay. Let\u2019s take this up to the bedroom. Don\u2019t wanna have to explain why you\u2019re totally setting me off to Wes and Gunn.\u201d She grinned up at him. \u201cCarry me, Slave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGlad to oblige.\u201d Cordy reached one arm for Angel\u2019s neck, expecting him to sweep her up and carry her up the stairs in a romantic flurry. He grinned, ducking her arm and settling firm hands around her waist, gripping her and tossing her easily over one shoulder.<\/p>\n

She shrieked, laughing, and he turned to start up the stairs to their suite, holding one arm clamped around her legs to hold her steady against his body.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhhaaaa\u2026\u2026.not what I had in mind, Angel.\u201d Her voice held breathless laughter as Angel stalked down the hallway to their rooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, now, let that be a lesson. I\u2019m just a slave. I only do exactly what I\u2019m told.\u201d He strolled into their suite and closed the door behind them, locking it before giving her ass a little pat and setting her down on her feet.<\/p>\n

She wavered a bit on her feet and looked up at him, her hair a silken tousle around her head and shoulders. He grinned down at her and let his eyes roam over her face, seeing her openness and trust shining out at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cUm\u2026ok. Kiss me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel stared at her impassively. \u201cWhere?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia was startled. \u201cOh. Well, here.\u201d She lifted her face so he could brush against her lips. He did, softly, keeping his hands firmly at his side. Cordy sighed against his lips, a soft whisper, feeling a tug at her heart as he caressed her mouth. He coaxed and teased gently, soft kisses that were sweet and lovely.<\/p>\n

Cordelia pressed against him, feeling a flush overtake her body as she pressed her mouth harder to his. He grinned to himself, pulling back a little, keeping it tame.<\/p>\n

Finally, Cordy pulled back and looked up at him, frowning. \u201cHarder, Angel\u2026I want more\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMore?\u201d Angel\u2019s voice was a low whisper against the swollen flesh of her lips.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore.\u201d Cordy barely had time to respond before his mouth opened over hers, parting her lips. His tongue stroked into the wet heat, and she gripped his shoulders as he bent her back slightly, holding her steady with his arm while his mouth devoured hers.<\/p>\n

Yeah. More like this. Cordy\u2019s mouth was all sweet dessert for Angel, hot and slick. He knew that her body was like that all over right now. Warm\u2026slick in the right places. And he was going to enjoy it. But, she was the winner, and he was hers to command. He groaned as she sucked gently at his tongue. Win-win, Cordelia.<\/p>\n

He pulled back, gentling her with soft kisses before looking down at her, waiting. Cordelia\u2019s eyes were clouded over with want, and she looked up at him, confused.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d His voice, low, was gravelly as he murmured in her ear.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want\u2026..\u201d her voice was a little breathless. \u201cI want you to touch me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy shivered at the silken whisper. She slowly raised his hands and placed them just above her breasts, along the firm slopes. His eyes darkened as he looked down at his hands resting on the slopes covered by the fitted blouse. His eyes rose to hers as he gently hefted the mounds in his hands, careful to not touch the pebbled tips as he slowly began kneading and caressing her breasts. She sifted impatiently in his hands, wanting his fingers RIGHT THERE right now. Her eyes pleaded with him and she gripped his wrists, but his fingers danced close to her nipples and then teasingly traced away.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel\u2026.\u201d Her voice was a little shakey. \u201cPlease\u2026touch me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her plea shimmered through Angel like a wave of fire. He cupped her breasts and lowered his head, taking one cotton covered peak inbetween his teeth and tugging gently. Cordelia moaned and grasped his head to her, feeling sensation shoot from her breasts, down through her abdomen, to pool between her legs.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod. Angel. Take off my blouse.\u201d Her voice was begging and he was happy to oblige, raising his head and holding her gaze as he unbuttoned each fastening carefully, slowly. He tugged it off and it gently floated to the floor. He broke his gaze to look down at the twin mounds that spilled out over the top of the demi-bra.<\/p>\n

\u201cMmmm. Do you want the bra to go?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes. Yes. Right now. Do it.\u201d Cordy\u2019s voice was shakey with a begging command. Angel grinned to himself as he reached around her body, yanking at the fastening and feeling it pop before the bra loosened around her. He gently pulled it off and set it aside. She held still, still not used to being displayed like this for anyone. He knelt in front of her and looked up at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay I remove your jeans?\u201d His voice was steady, but excitement poured through him. She nodded down at him and he gently unfastened the snap, pulling the zipper down and parting the panel to reveal simple white bikini panties. He pressed his face into her abdomen and breathed in as he worked her jeans down her legs. She lifted each foot and he tugged the jeans off, tossing them aside in a heap. His fingers hooked into the waistband of her panties and he yanked them down and off, setting back to look up at her, standing all flushed and hot and soft and slick above him.<\/p>\n

Her lips were still puffy from his kisses, and her eyes were huge and cloudy with want. She stood with her legs slightly apart so that he could see the dewey curls between her legs, musky with the evidence of her need. She backed up a step and turned towards the bed, crossing to it. He licked his lips, watching the sway of her bare ass as she walked, the soft flex of the intricate tattoo at the base of her spine as she moved. She climbed onto the bed and lay back on the pillows. Angel watched her, restless\u2026poised.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake \u2018em off, sweetie.\u201d Cordy waved a hand languidly at his clothes. Angel grinned to himself. That\u2019s it, Cordy, you just go on thinking you\u2019re in charge here. He reached for his shirt, unbuttoning it and shrugging it off before letting it drop to the floor.<\/p>\n

Cordy watched, biting her lip as he reached for the belt at his waist. Her breath came quicker as he unzipped his own slacks and pulled them off, his eyes never leaving hers. Nude, he stood at the foot of the bed, his dark eyes lazily intent. His body was rock hard, and she found her gaze caught by the size and hardness of his erection, full out from the dark curls between his legs. She crooked a finger at him and motioned him to come closer. He did, all stalking grace. She took his hand and tugged, pulling him down onto the bed. He fell across her, and brushed his lips on the tip of a coral nipple. Cordy moaned, arching her back and he sucked it gently into the wet recess of his mouth.<\/p>\n

His hands traced over her face, each line committed to his memory as he trailed a gentle hand down her throat\u2026.over her shoulder. His teeth tugged even more insistently at her nipple as his hand traced down between her breasts, down over the gentle curve of her abdomen. Her legs shifted, parting more, when his hand brushed the tops of her thighs, lightly tickling the satiny flesh. His mouth lifted off her nipple and he buried his face in the valley between her breasts, flicking his tongue at the steadily beating pulse, a siren\u2019s pull to his senses.<\/p>\n

Cordy took in shallow breaths as she felt his hand stroking at the soft flesh between her legs. She pressed her body harder to him, opening herself more for his hand to tease and carress. His lips traced up over her other breast and he taunted that nipple, laving it with his tongue and pulling at it with his lips and teeth.<\/p>\n

Ohgodyespleasejustlikethat. Cordy threw up irreverent thanks to heaven as Angel\u2019s hand finally stroked at the wet folds of flesh between her thighs. Puffy, slick skin, all needy and demanding. She felt one finger press into her tight channel, twisting slightly and pulling back out. Her hands gripped his head and held him to her breast, mindless to all but the sensation of pull at her breasts, the feeling of hot want between her legs.<\/p>\n

Angel inhaled her arousal like a man denied oxygen for too long. The richness of her scent surrounded and filled him, and her frantic need fed his. He stroked another finger into her heat, and she bucked her hips against his hand demandingly. He felt her body begin to tense as he pumped his fingers in and out of her body in an increased rhythm, and he gentled his movements, judging when she was just at the brink of her orgasm to calm her body and slow her down.<\/p>\n

Impatient, she looked down at him. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

His lazy voice belied the thick rock-hard muscle that rose from between his own legs. \u201cMaking sure we take our time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t wanna take our time. I wanna\u2026\u201d she tapered off, embarrassed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d He asked, interestedly. \u201cWhat do you wanna do, Cordelia?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoddammit.\u201d She sifted, trying to push her body more onto his hand. He held her gently at bay. She met his gaze, fierce and determined. \u201cI wanna cum. God, please\u2026.I just wanna\u2026\u201d She broke off, startled, as he rose up and flipped her over onto her stomach. He kneeled behind her, and pulled her back to straddle his strong, bunched thighs. He reached down and yanked the blouse off, throwing it aside. He pulled her body up so that her back was pressed against his chest, and he pulled her hips down, pressing the thick length of his cock into her body in one fluid movement.<\/p>\n

She gasped, raising her arms over and behind to lock around his neck as he leaned forward, reaching around to cup her breasts as she rose and fell on his cock. She looked down at his hands, teasing and pinching and tugging and circling the coral nipples, her eyes glued to each movement as her hips rocked back against him.<\/p>\n

They fell into an easy rythym, damp skin pressed to cooler skin, rubbing with each thrust. As they rocked, Angel leaned into her ear and whispered dark words, shocking her with his bluntness and earthiness, making her more frantic and needy. He felt her body tighten and her back arch against him, her frantic whimpers signaling her body\u2019s loss of control. He groaned, riding out her orgasm as she clenched and milked his cock, feeling her thighs clamped with iron strength around his.<\/p>\n

His hands cupped her breasts as he came into her sensitized body, feeling the cool release as he came, filling her with his essence, leaving him feeling sated and replete.<\/p>\n

His hands gentled as they both calmed down, and he felt tremors in her thighs from being clamped around him. He gently eased her off and lowered her to the bed.<\/p>\n

Cordelia flopped down onto the bed, face down, all limp and boneless. She felt the heavy sigh that shook Angel\u2019s body as he lay down next to her, his face buried in the pillow. They both lay there a moment, silent, before Cordy turned her head to look at Angel. He lifted his head and met her gaze, the gentle light in his eyes a marked contradiction to the power she knew he held.<\/p>\n

\u201cGotta tell you, Angel sweetie\u2026..I think you got a little uppity there\u2026being a slave and all.\u201d<\/p>\n

His voice was tired but amused. \u201cYou weren\u2019t pleased with my humble performance?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOk, now that\u2019s just wrong. Nothin\u2019 humble about you.\u201d Angel grinned at her. \u201cAnd\u2026you know I was pleased.\u201d She leaned over and kissed him softly. \u201cI just wonder, who was in charge back there?\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel blinked at her, all innocence. \u201cAh. Well, I guess we\u2019ll have to try again. If that\u2019s what you want. I only do what I\u2019m told.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordy laughed. \u201cRight.<\/p>\n

They lay there a moment longer, silent as they both recovered. Finally, Cordelia giggled and sang out in a soft voice\u2026\u201dI got a sex slave. I got a sex slave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one likes a poor winner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah\u2026.\u201d She rolled over onto her side and grinned at him. \u201cGood thing you know how to play the game so that we both win.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t think that we\u2019re done, do you?\u201d Her eyes opened wide, startled. He grinned over at her. \u201cThe night is young, sweetie. Long way off till sunrise. I intend to meet my end of the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia drew in a long breath. This was gonna be a long night. And Angel wanted to play. Good thing that in this game, everyone won.<\/p>\n

End.<\/b><\/p>\n
