Chapter 1<\/b><\/p>\n

Lilah hugged at her arm resisting the urge to stick a pencil underneath the plaster cast. The constant itching was driving her insane. She winced as the bandage on her other hand grazed the table. She glanced around the expensive and imposing room.<\/p>\n

What 23, 24, was that how old she had been when she first stepped into this room, a nervous and determined 2nd year law student. How excited and proud she had been, the only student in her class to get an interview at the great and mighty Wolfram & Hart. She should have known then. Lilah hadn\u2019t been a bad student, good in fact, but not great, not the caliber one expected for such a big and important firm to notice her much less pluck out and groom for her for employment. If she had any doubts, she didn\u2019t remember. Lilah had walked in excited and determined that she would be what they wanted.<\/p>\n

No one would ever call her white trash again; she was going to be a \u2018lawyer\u2019 and not just any lawyer but one for a prestige firm. Lilah would get her fancy apartment, her fancy car and fancy clothes, no matter what. How had Holland known that? How had he known that she would sell her soul to succeed?<\/p>\n

Because she had, not right away, but slowly through the next year. By the time she graduated Lilah knew that she would kill to work for Holland. He hadn\u2019t asked her to then, that came later, when she couldn\u2019t leave. Couldn\u2019t? She hadn\u2019t wanted to by then, the fancy apartment had become luxurious, the fancy car had become a top of the line Mercedes, and the fancy clothes were designer. For three more years, Lilah had done Holland\u2019s bidding, not questioning. By the time she started to question, it was too late.<\/p>\n

Lindsey had made her question, his fluctuation to his duty, his flexible loyalty, his final disgust at the evil of Wolfram & Hart, it all made her question. Holland\u2019s death at his own creation made her doubt. But it was too late; she was too far in. Too acclimated in the firm, too scared to leave.<\/p>\n

Lila still didn\u2019t understand why Lindsay hadn\u2019t been killed. But, she couldn\u2019t take the chance that the senior partners would do the same for her. So, Lilah stayed. And here she was sitting back where it all started awaiting their verdict. Lila just hoped that whatever Wolfram & Hart had seen in her when she first walked through their door was still present.<\/p>\n

\u201cLilah.\u201d<\/p>\n

She nodded to the senior partner that walked in. Shit. Jeremy walked in behind the partner. Son of a bitch, her plan would have worked if that stupid SOB hadn\u2019t given his card to that vendor. Angel would still be looking for his seer. Her eyes narrowed, Jeremy didn\u2019t look scared, but then maybe he was too stupid or maybe he had found some way to blame it all on her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve read the report. Very disappointing. Originally, I thought fatally disappointing, but Jeremy has explained your plan to rectify the situation. I approve. Do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you sir.\u201d Lilah smiled as the senior partner walked out.<\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 2<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cGo Angel.\u201d Cordelia said from the couch. Her hands shooing at the vampire.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you sure you\u2019re all right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Wesley and Gunn waited by the door impatiently, their weapons hanging uselessly at their sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel, go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut..\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia\u2019s face scrunched into a scowl. \u201cYou\u2019re being stupid now. GO. Bad demon to kill, helpless to save. I\u2019m FINE.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel,\u201d Cordelia\u2019s gaze became deadly.<\/p>\n

Angel nodded and reluctantly headed for the door. \u201cIt\u2019s just that the visions are so bad.\u201d Angel said to the men at the door.<\/p>\n

Wesley and Gunn grunted, their eyes rolling in unison.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t that Wesley and Gunn didn\u2019t know that the visions were painful to Cordelia or that they didn\u2019t care. But, having to wait around while Angel assured himself that she would be fine was beginning to be exasperating. At first it had been kind of cute.<\/p>\n

The way the big tough \u2018vampire\u2019 would hover around Cordelia, holding her head, her hands, any part of her. But three weeks later, the lovesick mother hen routine was getting on every ones nerves especially Cordelia\u2019s.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cCordy, are you all right? Do you need more aspirin?” Fred said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot if I want a stomach lining left. No, really, I\u2019m fine, don\u2019t you start too. One overbearing well intentioned paranoid is enough.\u201d Cordelia placed the cool bottle of water to her forehead. \u201cStupid vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCordy, Angel is just worried.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know, but please this is just getting ridiculous\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel loves you. It\u2019s kind of cute.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCute.\u201d Cordelia scrunched up her face then gave a small smile. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of cute, isn\u2019t it? But really, it\u2019s too much. He won\u2019t let me out of his sight. Yesterday, he even went with me to the Hair & Nail Gallery. If it hadn\u2019t been so funny, I would have been really annoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFunny? What happened?” Fred sat on the couch and curled up her feet, eagerly waiting for the rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell,\u201d Cordelia curled up facing the other young woman. \u201cYou\u2019ve been there. Mirrors and lights everywhere. He was like a cat on a hot tin roof, jumping and dodging trying to avoid a mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did he?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know, but he found a spot, underneath one of the hair dryers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hair dryers. Was Paulo working?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, it was all I could do not to fall out of my chair. Paulo zeroed in on Angel. Clucking and oohing. Mr. European hair stylist by way of the Bronx was in enthralled. Couldn\u2019t keep his hands off Angel.\u201d Cordelia reached out and caressed Fred\u2019s arm, her voice becoming high and sassy. \u201cMy don\u2019t you just look yummy. My dear, not everyone can pull off that sexy leather look. Though, I must recommend, maybe a teal, no wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia reached up with her other hand and cupped Fred\u2019s chin, moving her face back and forth and peering closely. \u201cNo, a deep gold, yes. A gold shirt would just make those delicious brown eyes jump out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t.\u201d Fred squealed.<\/p>\n

Cordelia nodded. \u201cI didn\u2019t know whether Angel would faint, run, or rip Paulo\u2019s head off. And then, Paulo not knowing the danger he was in, critiqued Angel\u2019s last hair stylist.\u201d Cordelia twirled her fingers through Fred\u2019s long hair.<\/p>\n

\u201cDarlin\u2019 who ever butchered this wonder should be dragged out and whipped with a cheap brush. I could fix it up real quick. Ooh.\u201d Cordelia brought up her hands to her cheeks. \u201cIt\u2019s shameful. You\u2019re hair is crying for a deep condition and when we\u2019re done, maybe highlights.\u201d Cordelia brushed Fred\u2019s cheek softly. \u201cFor those deep, deep lovely eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t, not Angel\u2019s hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYep.\u201d Both young women stared at each other and then broke out in hysterical giggles.<\/p>\n

The young women were still laughing when Angel, Wesley and Gunn returned.<\/p>\n

The men stopped short at the sight before them. Both Cordelia and Fred looked lovely and free in their laugher. They were the picture of young women without a care in the world, enjoying their life and existence. It was a beautiful and welcomed sight for the men that had just fought and killed one of the many evils of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia and Fred jumped guilty. Stifling more giggles, they got up from the couch.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody okay, helpless saved, evil demon gone?\u201d Cordelia moved forward. \u201cAngel?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel, I like your hair just the way it is.\u201d Fred said.<\/p>\n

Cordelia shot a look back at her friend and then broke out laughing as Fred tried to maintain her composure. Fred failed miserably.<\/p>\n

Angel\u2019s hand shot to his head. \u201cCordy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on big \u2018grr\u2019 guy.\u201d Cordelia stifled her giggles and held out her hand to the self-conscious vampire. Sometimes, it just amazed her how her big brave strong \u2018grr\u2019 guy could dissolve into such an insecure cuddly little boy. Just one more thing to love about Angel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with my hair.\u201d Angel whispered to Cordelia ignoring the amused faces of the rest of the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on Angel, I bought some of that deep conditioner that Paulo raved about.\u201d Cordelia pulled Angel to the stairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to wash my hair?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia gave a little smile and shrugged.<\/p>\n

\u201cBye guys.\u201d Angel didn\u2019t even look at his friends but started to drag Cordelia up the stairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, anybody else hungry?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTacos?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFred, haven\u2019t you gotten sick of them yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTacos, it is then. So, what\u2019s with the hair?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou buy, I\u2019ll tell.\u201d Fred smiled and went to the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe girl has been hanging around Cordy too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wesley nodded. \u201cYes. Flip for the honor?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI got heads.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 3<\/b><\/p>\n

Angel grabbed for Cordelia as soon as they hit the bedroom. Gone was the insecure little boy, now there was just the vampire that wanted the woman he loved.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d Cordelia shook her head. \u201cStinky. Bath? I seem to remember that you like to give them. My turn.\u201d She pulled the vampire to the bathroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cUh, Cordy.\u201d Angel began to get very nervous, remembering how the one and only time he gave her bath; she was fully clothed and livid.<\/p>\n

She cocked a brow at him. He nodded and followed.<\/p>\n

Cordelia sat on the edge of the tub adjusting the water. Angel just stood in the middle of the bathroom, shifting from one foot to another.<\/p>\n

When Cordelia seemed satisfied, she went to Angel, her fingers working on the buttons of his shirt. Angel\u2019s nervousness dimmed. He reached for her shirt. Cordelia shook her head and slapped his hands gently away. Angel dropped his hands. \u201cCordy?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia said nothing, never looking at Angel. She concentrated on her goal. Her hands slipped under the loose sides of Angel\u2019s shirt drawing the material off his body, her caress brushing along his shoulders. Cordelia\u2019s hands trailed along Angel\u2019s chest and sides reaching the waistband of his pants.<\/p>\n

\u201cCordy?\u201d Angel\u2019s voice was part growl and part longing.<\/p>\n

\u201cShh, Angel, bath time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHurry up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPatience is a virtue, Angel.\u201d Her fingers fumbled with the zipper, her hands slipping beneath the material pushing the pants to the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne that has never been attributed to vampires.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia giggled and stepped back. \u201cIn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCordelia?\u201d Angel growled.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn.\u201d She pointed to the filled bath.<\/p>\n

Angel growled and sat in the water. Cordelia leaned down pushing him back. \u201cClose your eyes, Angel. Relax.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel slid down into the water. The warm water surrounded him, easing his muscles. The fight with the demon had been quick and victorious, but it had been hard. He sighed. Cordelia had put some oil in the water, smelling of flowers and spring. It felt wonderful. Angel settled in further, his eyes still closed. He heard cabinets open and closed. He smiled as he heard a soft rustle and the sound of material hitting the floor.<\/p>\n

A warm hand touched his back. \u201cLean up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel.\u201d Cordelia warned.<\/p>\n

Angel quickly moved forward. His compliance was rewarded when Cordelia slid into the tub behind him. He waited a moment as she settled. Then he grasped her long legs and pulled them around him, laying his head back on the softness of her breast. Angel thanked the Powers, all the gods, ancient and new as Cordelia\u2019s breath quickened and her legs tightened around him.<\/p>\n

A low grumble sounded in his chest, a purr more than a growl as Cordelia pushed his head into the water, then drawing him up. Soon, his scalp was being magically massaged as Cordelia worked in the shampoo. Her fingers scratched and pressed. Angel\u2019s body settled firmly in between Cordelia\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain.\u201d Cordelia pressed her lips to his ear. Angel purred.<\/p>\n

Once again, he was immersed into the water, only to have Cordelia to draw him back up. \u201cNow the conditioner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d Angel swiftly moved and in an instant Cordelia was on top of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow\u2019d you do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPatience is not a virtue, but agility is.\u201d Angel grinned, pulling Cordelia into a deep kiss.<\/p>\n

Angel lifted Cordelia\u2019s hips and gently placed them over his hard member. Cordelia licked her lips and slowly pushed down. She closed her eyes as her body was filled with Angel. Angel\u2019s hands traveled up and down her body as she moved against him.<\/p>\n

Angel closed his eyes losing himself in the sensations of the texture, feel and warmth that engulfed him.<\/p>\n

Both of their releases came quickly. Cordelia lifted her head as her body melted into Angel\u2019s. \u201cHmm, Angel,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMmm,\u201d Angel brushed the hair away from her face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m getting wrinkled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re cute wrinkled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHmmph.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel adjusted Cordelia, still holding her has he stood.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vampire picked the young woman up out of the tub and pulled her to him. \u201cMmm?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to stop worrying so much about me. The others are getting annoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re getting annoyed?\u201d Angel raised a brow.<\/p>\n

Cordelia leaned her body close to Angel\u2019s. \u201cI might be getting a little annoyed too. But, I love you so I of course I\u2019m giving you the benefit of the doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I hear a big but or ultimatum?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia laughed. \u201cMaybe, in the sense that I will tell Fred more stuff to make you squirm. But, please, like I would give up this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel pushed her away and studied her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that I know the stakes, I\u2019m deciding whether Fred\u2019s taunts are all that bad. After all, she needs to learn how to become comfortable in LA. Friendly ribbing is a good start.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel.\u201d Cordelia whined, walked away and got between the covers of the bed. \u201cYou have to let up at some point don\u2019t you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d Angel settled in next to her, pulling her body close.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel, Angelus is gone, stuck in the past where he belongs, he isn\u2019t a threat to you, me or anyone else now. You have your soul. A very cute, sexy one by the way. And don\u2019t tense up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel tried to get back to the relaxed and happy feeling that he had been reveling in. But, he couldn\u2019t fight the tension that Angelus’ name brought to his body. Cordelia was right. There was no threat of Angelus. They were in the present, where Angel\u2019s soul was permanent. Yet, Angel\u2019s alter evil non-soul self still caused him fear. He had been so close to losing Cordelia. But she was right.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll try.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you.\u201d Cordelia smiled and rolled her body on top of Angel\u2019s. \u201cI do love you. I love a \u2018grr\u2019 broody guy, who would have thought.\u201d She wiggled on his body, trying to make herself comfortable.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot me,\u201d Angel hugged her tightly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel, you\u2019re happy, aren\u2019t you?\u201d Cordelia shot up.<\/p>\n

Angel pulled her back down. \u201cVery. I love you Cordelia Chase. Get use to it. Believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do, I said I did.\u201d She curled back into Angel\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Angel kissed her soft hair. His body had been satisfied, but he still wanted more. He shifted Cordelia away from the evidence of his renewed arousal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngel?\u201d Cordelia resisted Angel\u2019s movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cSleep.\u201d Even after three weeks and Cordelia constant willingness. Angel was still reluctant to let his demon touch her. It was too close to Angelus.<\/p>\n

Cordelia moved, sitting up straddling Angel. She considered the vampire. \u201cWhen I\u2019m done and you are exhausted.\u201d She scooted down his body. Her hands and lips attacking his chest. Cordelia\u2019s lips, tongue and teeth teased at Angel\u2019s nipples.<\/p>\n

Angel resisted his protest and leaned back. Cordelia\u2019s lips trailed down Angel\u2019s chest, nuzzling into Angel\u2019s groin.<\/p>\n

Angel growled as Cordelia took his hard shaft into her warm mouth. Angel jerked, as Cordelia alternately kissed and took his penis into her lips.<\/p>\n

Angel gripped at Cordelia\u2019s hair and shoulders jerking her up to his mouth. In a swift, harsh move he buried himself into her body. Cordelia gripped his shoulders, her nails digging into his shoulders as Angel thrust into her. His face nudging and pushing at her chin. Just like Cordelia welcomed his thrusts, she opened her throat to Angel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you.\u201d She whispered.<\/p>\n

Cordelia tensed and screamed as Angel\u2019s bite and her orgasm hit simultaneously.<\/p>\n

They laid together, Cordelia covering Angel\u2019s body her head cuddled into his shoulder. Slowly, she was able to get her breath under control. \u201cTired?\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel grabbed her and kissed Cordelia soundly. \u201cSleep, would be nice.\u201d Still amazed at Cordelia\u2019s acceptance and love. He shifted again, turning on his side, pulling Cordelia into his body.<\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow, you can go get your hair done without me, but you will call when you get there and when you leave. Deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just don\u2019t want highlights.\u201d Cordelia wiggled and positioned her self more comfortably. Her body, arms and legs were all draped over Angel. Cordelia yawned, and then said as an after thought. \u201cAre you comfortable?\u201d<\/p>\n

Angel looked down at the body sprawled over his. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordelia nuzzled a nod into his chest. \u201cGood night, then.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood night,\u201d Angel leaned back onto his pillow smiling; consumed by the warmth that was penetrating his soul and cold flesh.<\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 4<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat game are you playing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, game Lilah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight, you just went behind my back to the senior partners pitching this plan and putting my name on it. Why? Are you setting me up?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. The way I see it if you had been \u2018disciplined\u2019 for your previous failure…\u201d<\/p>\n

Lila tossed the file on her desk. \u201cMy failure. If you hadn\u2019t stupidly identified yourself, Angel wouldn\u2019t have found out so quickly that we had taken the seer. He wouldn\u2019t have found out the plan. I wouldn\u2019t be strapped up like a fuckin\u2019 mummy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrue, all true. But the senior partners feel that your slip.\u201d Jeremy motioned to her cast. \u201cWas more of a \u2018failure’.”<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, why are you helping me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause as I was saying even if you had to vacate your position for \u2018health reasons\u2019\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you just say it- If I was killed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFine. Your death wouldn\u2019t really help me any. After all, I\u2019m new. There would be no guarantee that I would\u2019ve been promoted. After all, I did mess up to. So, I need another chance to prove myself and catch the Partner\u2019s eyes. You can help me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you can stab me in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy plan or rather your plan keeps you alive a little longer. We both gain something by working together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lilah paced. She didn\u2019t trust him, but then again she didn\u2019t trust anyone. Lila glared, then shook her head. \u201cAngel and Angelus in LA. This plan could work or be the death of us all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Senior Partners want Angel damned. Do you see any other option?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Lilah and Jeremy watched as a team of vampires and demon\u2019s jumped through the portal. A dark small-cloaked figure stood nearby scribbling, calculating and chanting.<\/p>\n

Lilah\u2019s shoulder\u2019s ached with tension. They planned on re-opening the Portal every hour on the hour until the mission was complete.<\/p>\n

Lilah paced, fidgeting with her sling as the first hour passed.<\/p>\n

\u201cLilah, it may take awhile. Angelus may not be that easy to capture.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo more hours, then were sending in another team.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Six hours and three teams later, two vampires fell through the Portal. Both were bloody and beaten, but one was unconscious and bound by chains.<\/p>\n

Lila watched as the Portal closed. \u201cWhere are the rest of the teams?\u201d<\/p>\n

The vampire leaned up. \u201cDead and dust. The legends of Angelus seemed to have been accurate.\u201d He spit out some blood.<\/p>\n

Jeremy stepped back from the unconscious vampire on the floor. \u201cHe killed all of them?\u201d<\/p>\n
