Part 40<\/b><\/p>\n
Angel drank into Cordy\u2019s lips trying desperately to give as much as he took. Angel\u2019s mind kept repeating \u2018Cordy needs me\u2019 and \u2018I make her feel safe\u2019 as his lips, hands and body tried to reaffirm the new founded realizations.<\/p>\n
Cordelia needed him as much as he needed her. It was like when he realized that she loved him only better. Angel finally got it. He didn\u2019t just take what she offered. Angel gave her something she not only wanted but also needed in return. They were more than friends, more than lovers. They were a necessary part of each other. They were soul mates.<\/p>\n
Cordelia gasped as Angel nudged her over releasing her lips trailing blunt bites and flicks of his tongue down her jaw line.<\/p>\n
Cordelia reached up her nails scratching a trail along the broad planes of his back. She whimpered in pleasure at each tingle and twitches that shivered along the broad back at her touch.<\/p>\n
Angel nuzzled his lips down the path his hands created pausing to swirl and nip at the extended nipple begging for his attention. He palmed the soft weight of the other neglected globe, his fingers worshiping the nipple. Angel left the lovely breasts over the soft breathy protests of the young woman. His lips continued their journey.<\/p>\n
Angel sounded a low combination of a growl and moan as his lips and hands teased at the softness of Cordelia\u2019s belly and crept closer to the source of her woman\u2019s scent.<\/p>\n
He tongued along the dark curls that protecting the source licking and kissing in the crease of her firm thighs and womanhood, touching everywhere except at the center of the heat.<\/p>\n
Cordelia whined as her body tensed in anticipation. Her hips moved trying to direct Angel to her need. The vampire acknowledged by cupping her ass lifting her to create better access.<\/p>\n
Cordelia\u2019s sharp intake of breath and lower body\u2019s jerk signaled Angel\u2019s success. Angel kissed at Cordelia\u2019s pink intimate lips, tonguing them as if they were a mouth to taste and plunder. The darting and penetrating actions changed into broad strokes. Cordelia\u2019s hands floundered from the strong shoulders to the bed, twisting into the sheets as the pleasure built causing her body to tense. The young woman\u2019s writhing stalled, Cordelia scared that any movement would interrupt the steady pleasure.<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel,\u201d she choked out in a whisper as the vampire\u2019s hand left the cheek of her buttocks and wrapped a caress around her thigh targeting the blood entrenched small bud between the delicate folds.<\/p>\n
Angel\u2019s thumb worked the bud as his tongue delved deeper duplicating the rhythm of the other. Angel concentrated on the pleasure he was giving, using each touch to assure the young woman that his love and care was a surety. That she was home and that she was safe. He drank her scent\u2019s promise to him of the same. The wonder of the woman underneath him would always amaze him but he was learning that he needed to accept it or he could lose it.<\/p>\n
Cordelia squeezed her eyes closed as her breath stopped in her chest. The pleasure building up, tightening her muscles, pushing her nerves to their breaking point. She was going to implode.<\/p>\n
She begged as Angel kept up the steady pressure, teasing, tasting, and taking the evidence of her life and love into him. With a slight quick flick he gave her release. He stayed harbored in the sweetness of her thighs soothing the trembling of her contracting muscles soaking the scent and moisture.<\/p>\n
Cordelia fell limp against the bed, her fingers flitting over the broad shoulders. She gulped and sighed, tugging at the vampire. \u201cKiss me.\u201d She licked her lips.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith definite pleasure,\u201d Angel responded with a low thick voice.<\/p>\n
The kiss was gentle, loving, and all encompassing. Cordelia sighed, pushing Angel away as she took a deep breath.<\/p>\n
\u201cCordy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel.\u201d She smiled urging him off her and on to his back. She scooted making room for her kneeling body in between his legs. \u201cYou are beautiful,\u201d she whispered dropping long, slow, quick kisses along his jaw and chest. Her tongue stalled to twirl around the short hard nipples, leaving as soon as Angel\u2019s growl and hands urged her back to his mouth.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d Cordy giggled. \u201cI\u2019ve my own plans.\u201d She looked up from his stomach.<\/p>\n
Angel groaned or rather purred as her lips and hands descended further.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd isn\u2019t it lovely,\u201d Cordy said as she swallowed Angel\u2019s solid shaft. She roamed moist lips and blunt teeth in a pattern along the hard flesh. Her hands stroked at the tense balls below as she wrapped a delicate fist around the base. Cordelia squeezed as her mouth sucked and manipulated the shaft in her possession.<\/p>\n
\u201cDamn\u2019t Cordy,\u201d Angel groaned.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh,\u201d she licked her lips as she left Angel\u2019s aching organ, her hand still there. \u201cYou are the only that can tease unmercifully.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026just\u2026\u201d Angel gripped her hair pushing her back to her original action.<\/p>\n
Cordy giggled as she worked Angel\u2019s penis using her mouth and fingers. Angel\u2019s low growls, purrs, and jerking hips spurred her on.<\/p>\n
Cordelia smiled as her last action caused a salty cool liquid to coat her tongue and a shout to echo throughout the room. She lapped it up gently releasing the spent organ, kissing it as she lifted her head and body.<\/p>\n
She wiggled and crept in the manner of a cat, licking her lips, rubbing her body up Angel\u2019s prone one. \u201cI love you,\u201d she murmured into Angel\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n
Angel reminded himself that his repeated need to breath was a figment of his imagination but the warm body that coated him, the taste that was still on his tongue, the scent that swirled in the air counteracted the reality of his physiology. He needed to breath.<\/p>\n
The pleasure and love that encompassed him and the warmth that seeped into his body caused his penis to firm into a hard aching organ.<\/p>\n
Cordelia smiled as she felt the change. \u201cAnother advantage of love-lust vampire,\u201d she adjusted her hips to swallow the evidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you, Cordy,\u201d Angel groaned flipping their enjoined bodies. He thrust into the snug velvet channel frantically bringing their mutual pleasure to an intense satisfying conclusion.<\/p>\n
Part 41<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d Angel reached out as Cordelia swung her legs off the bed.<\/p>\n
The young woman shrugged. \u201cOperation \u2018Teach Evil Toadies a Lesson\u2019.<\/p>\n
Angel leaned up on his elbows a frown gracing his handsome face. \u201cAre you sure?\u201d Angel scooted closer encircling Cordelia\u2019s waist, his head settled on her lap. \u201cI can hold you for longer, I don\u2019t mind. Really.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cordelia cocked an elegant brow. \u201cReally? You don\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Angel blinked his dark eyes\u2019 innocently. \u201cNo, not at all. I mean if I have to I have to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh. Well. I don\u2019t want to burden you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the life of a vampire with a soul. Burdens, sacrifices,\u201d Angel breathed a loud drawn out sigh. \u201cBut, I don\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, you jerk,\u201d she laughed smacking him lightly on the head.<\/p>\n
Angel leaned up hugging her from behind. \u201cAre you sure, Cordy? Wesley hasn\u2019t raised the immediate to \u2018IMMEDIATE\u2019 and I really really don\u2019t mind,\u201d he nuzzled into her neck. \u201cNot at all,\u201d he nicked at the skin.<\/p>\n
Cordy squirmed. \u201cHey that tickles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Angel chuckled as he continued to nick at the sensitive spot on the underside of her chin.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey. Stop that,\u201d she giggled and twisted in his maddening embrace.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s fun.\u201d He laid her on the bed, his fingers working lightly and rapidly on her waist.<\/p>\n
Cordelia squealed with laughter. \u201cAngel, please.\u201d She batted at his shoulders. \u201cYou\u2019re being mean.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMean? I\u2019m a nice vampire.\u201d He rolled over taking Cordelia with him reaching up to brush hair behind her ears. \u201cCordy, we don\u2019t have to go downstairs just yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The young woman rested her head and arms on Angel\u2019s chest. \u201cWouldn\u2019t it be wonderful if we could stay up here for ever, just us.\u201d She sighed wistfully.<\/p>\n
Angel gave a slight smile. \u201cGive up food and shopping?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCatalogs, pizza. Dennis could bring you your blood.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLike I\u2019d trust that ghost- he\u2019d probably spike it with holy water.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, Dennis wouldn\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, he wouldn\u2019t.\u201d Angel rolled his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cPfft.\u201d She got up.<\/p>\n
\u201cCordy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, we might as get this over with. I\u2019m okay. Really.\u201d She leaned down to give the vampire a kiss. \u201cOnce, Wolfram & Hart is dealt with we can stay up here for a really long time. I\u2019ll probably be scared again. In fact, I pretty sure that I\u2019m scared of taking a shower. How about you protect me from the soap.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShowers are pretty dangerous.\u201d Angel jumped off the bed. \u201cBut don\u2019t worry I\u2019ll save you from that evil body wash.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy hero.\u201d Cordelia laughed.<\/p>\n
Part 42<\/b><\/p>\n
Wesley rubbed his eyes before glancing back at the small archaic print of the text. He was hopeful with the proper adjustments the spell he was researching could very well work.<\/p>\n
Gunn turned to Fred grumbling. \u201cHe ain\u2019t even looked up from that damn book.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s busy.\u201d Fred frowned. Wesley hadn\u2019t asked her to look anything up in the computer in over an hour. She wanted to help.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d Gunn rolled his eyes. \u201cHow about some chow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d Fred got up from the chair. \u201cWesley,\u201d she called.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe ain\u2019t listening.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fred sighed and followed her friend out the office. Both stopped at the sight of Angel and Cordelia strolling down the stairs, their fingers intertwined tightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere were you two going?\u201d Cordelia asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cHungry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOoh, pizza.\u201d Cordelia nodded encouragingly. \u201cThen we can decide what to do about Wolfram & Hart.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gunn jerked his head to the door of the office. \u201cResearch mode, not talking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cordelia peeked over Gunn\u2019s shoulder. \u201cWhat\u2019s he researching?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gunn shrugged. \u201cTime shit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fred frowned at the black man, “tracking of temporal anomalies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Angel narrowed his eyes. \u201cThere hasn\u2019t been a time change.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, but Wesley wants to find a spell that will warn us if Wolfram & Hart uses the time portal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Angel glowered and spun on his heel stomping as much as his inherent grace allowed into Wesley\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019d I say?\u201d Gunn moved along to follow with the two women.<\/p>\n
The humans entered the office in time to see Wesley jump as Angel growled his name loudly.<\/p>\n
Wesley removed his glasses using the action to calm his racing heart. \u201cYou wanted something, Angel?\u201d He stood calmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI WANT Wolfram & Hart stopped, not a spell that let\u2019s me know that they put Cordelia in danger again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, the spell\u2026\u201d Wesley\u2019s began defensively at the vampire\u2019s tone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait,\u201d Cordelia called in between the two men. \u201cGunn, Fred, you were going to get Pizza?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUh, actually Mexican.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLike I said, you were going to go get Pizza, go. Wesley, finish your research if you can. You,\u201d she pulled at Angel,\u201d come with me and I\u2019ll get you some blood. Then we all will gather like the happy loving family that we are and Wesley will explain his plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCor\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNOW, Angel,\u201d Cordelia smiled through clenched teeth.<\/p>\n
Angel took a deep breath. \u201cI am hungry.\u201d He glared at Wesley and hurried to follow Cordy.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Angel leaned up against the counter with his arms crossed frowning as he watched Cordelia get a carton of blood out of the refrigerator. She turned to the vampire. \u201cYou didn\u2019t eat hardly at all when I was in a coma, did you?\u201d she scolded.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ate enough.\u201d He grumbled.<\/p>\n
\u201cHmmph.\u201d She scrutinized the scowl of the vampire\u2019s face for a moment, reached into the high cupboard, and pulled out a large container of cinnamon.<\/p>\n
Angel\u2019s scowl changed to a resigned small smile as the young woman doused his blood with the spice and placed in the microwave.<\/p>\n
He caught her waist pulling the young woman\u2019s back up against his chest. \u201cYou know I hate that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need it. It will calm you down. You were getting grumpy at the thought that Wesley\u2019s plan might deprive you of beating up more lawyers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Angel nuzzled into her neck. \u201cI do hate it and it doesn\u2019t calm me. What calms me is the love behind the stupid spice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cordelia titled her head up her hazel eyes twinkling into his dark eyes. \u201cThen it does work. Now, eat.\u201d She grabbed for the mug as the ding of the microwave sounded.<\/p>\n
Angel wrinkled his nose at the mug shoved in his hand. He sighed and drank it.<\/p>\n
\u201cBetter.\u201d Cordelia nodded in confidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cMuch better if I got a kiss.\u201d Angel\u2019s gaze was the perfect imitation of a little boy begging for dessert after eating his required loathed vegetables.<\/p>\n
\u201cHmmph. If I have to, I have to.\u201d Cordelia rolled her eyes, tiptoeing up to grace Angel\u2019s slight pout with a kiss.<\/p>\n
The little boy pout disappeared as the softness touched it. Angel reached up entangling in the lushness of the brown silk, fisting it to angle Cordelia\u2019s lips making the innocent kiss deeper.<\/p>\n
The couple stayed up against the counter lost in the kiss, lips and tongues exploring the each other as if they were discovering a brand new phenomenon.<\/p>\n
Angel pushed with his hips, his hands now at the small of Cordelia\u2019s back, taking their bodies away from the counter.<\/p>\n
Cordelia\u2019s back thudded against the refrigerator. She took a deep breath before Angel\u2019s mouth devoured hers once again. Cordelia secured herself against the vampire\u2019s onslaught with her arms and legs tight around his body.<\/p>\n
Angel groaned releasing her lips, continuing his fervent attack on the length of the delicate skin of her cheek and neck. The taste of the young woman, so uniquely hers, given to him freely, would always overwhelm him. Angel could never get enough of it. It proved that what he did mattered that he somehow he was worthy of her gifts. Angel knew he would never have the flowery words to express his appreciation and love so he did what he did best and showed her.<\/p>\n
Angel jerked her from the refrigerator placing her on the table settling in between her thighs, blunt teeth tugging at the neck line of Cordy\u2019s T-shirt as his hands traveled under the hem, bunching the material.<\/p>\n
Cordelia\u2019s breath choked as the onslaught of hands and lips touched her with love, her head flung back as her nails clutched into the broad shoulders. It was times like this that Cordy didn\u2019t need the words from the vampire. Angel was showing her how much he loved and needed her. She felt exceptionally beautiful, sexy, special and wonderfully safe.<\/p>\n
The unabashed delight and desire Angel took in her body stirred a mutual reaction in Cordelia. Wanton lust inspired by love drove any or all thoughts of modesty or restraint from her mind each and every time.<\/p>\n
Cordelia\u2019s fingers brushed at the edge of Angel\u2019s sweater trying to reach at marbled chest that the material hid from her touch.<\/p>\n
Angel leaned up bringing her hands back around his neck over the young woman\u2019s disappointed whine. He smiled at her pout as he pushed her cotton shirt up to expose the lace that bound the fullness of her breast. Angel\u2019s lips wetted the lace, using a moist tongue and firm touch to create a friction against the material and the extended covered nipples.<\/p>\n
Cordelia\u2019s moan choked in her throat as a squeaky yelp and rough loud \u2018shit\u2019 echoed from the doorway of the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Angel growled lifting his head at the sound of scrambling feet left the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Cordelia hid her bright red face in his sweater mumbling about the vampire\u2019s super senses going on the fritz.<\/p>\n
Angel smiled as he made out her words. \u201cMy super senses were preoccupied.\u201d He pulled down her shirt and lifted her face to his laughing eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHmmph.\u201d Cordelia jumped off the table, only to stumble on her wobbly legs. She steadied her feet and went to the fridge to get a bottle of water taking a long gulp. \u201cI guess we have to face them, uh.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGive me a minute.\u201d Angel responded in a pained voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you need more blood?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not the lack of blood, Cordelia, it\u2019s too much in one place.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh.\u201d Cordelia blushed again.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the kitchen,\u201d Gunn grumbled tossing the carry out pizza on the lobby counter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should\u2019ve knocked.\u201d Fred gulped.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t knock to go into a kitchen.\u201d Gunn protested. \u201cThe table? I eat on that table, Damn\u2019t. This is got to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is Angel\u2019s hotel.\u201d Fred shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe work here, hell girl, you live here too. We have the right NOT to be exposed to that\u2026that\u2026them. They have a bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe kitchen is new and they were dressed, mostly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNew, my ass. This is just the first time we caught them, I bet. Aww, man. I eat in there.\u201d He rubbed at his head furiously. \u201cRules have got to be made.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of pizza did you get?\u201d Cordelia decided the best approach was one of nonchalance. She put down plates and napkins next to the box.<\/p>\n
Angel followed leaning casually on the counter ignoring Fred\u2019s blush and Gunn\u2019s glare. He didn\u2019t have to decide anything. He didn\u2019t care what the others thought.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou two,\u201d Gunn started but stopped when Fred hit him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got one with everything and one with just pineapple.\u201d She finished for the black man.<\/p>\n
Cordelia smiled gratefully at the other woman. \u201cYum.\u201d Cordy grabbed a plate and a piece of the pineapple pizza. \u201cI\u2019m starving.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll bet,\u201d Gunn grumbled, reaching for a slice topped with everything.<\/p>\n
