Inell's Fanfiction Archive

Willow opened her eyes, a soft smile crossing her face. She stared at the ceiling of the room as cool lips drifted over stomach. She had slept about an hour she figured. It was still dark so she had a little bit of time left with her lover. Time before dawn. Time before she would have to leave and go back to Buffy and the others pretending like nothing was happening...acting as if these nights never happened. Oh, but they did. Had been for the two months. Even before Angel had lost his soul, she had had these nights of pleasure. She didn't dare tell anyone. Not that she was afraid of their reactions. No, she knew what they would say. She was scared of what they might do.

She cried out softly as a tongue ran along her wet folds. Her hands clenched her sheets as she began to moan. She wondered what Buffy would do if she walked into the room at that very moment...saw her best friend laying in bed getting eaten out by their enemy...enjoying every moment of it....She'd shit, Willow knew. Then probably pull out her damn stake and pierce said enemy's heart. Willow couldn't stand that. She honestly knew she was in love. It had been surprising in some ways. She had fallen in love with a vampire....a vampire that had tried to kill them or have them killed. She knew she should be guilty but how could she when it felt so right? She knew that Angelus had no idea. If he did, Buffy and the others would have been told. Of that she was sure. Angelus was a bastard who wanted nothing more than to destroy the slayer. She had heard stories of him, knew that he had not always been that way. She personally thought it was part of the curse. She wondered if he would go back as he had been before if Buffy did die. He might be a bastard but he was a damn good-looking bastard. She wouldn't mind fucking him. She wondered if he was rough. The thought excited her. She felt more wetness pool between her thighs as she envisioned fucking Angelus....Spike.....both so similar yet different. She could take one in her ass and the other in her cunt. She felt a pinch on her clit and realized she had drifted off again.

She couldn't believe how wicked her thoughts were. Her friends would be shocked if they could read her mind. She knew it had always been there, it had just taken a good fucking to get her in touch with them. She was a slut at heart. No, she wouldn't go out and fuck the football team. She wasn't that bad. She just really enjoyed sex. She loved to play and learn new things. Her teacher was wonderful and promised new lessons soon. Someone was going to join them one day. But for now, this was their secret. They both needed it. This time to just forget about being enemies and enjoy loving each other. Finding pleasure in each other. She felt a finger slide into her wetness and bit the inside of her cheek. She brought her hands up to knead her breasts, twisting her nipples roughly. She began to writhe around on the bed, her head deep in the pillow as her body arched up. A cold hand moved to her stomach, pressing her back into the mattress as a soft chuckle reached her ears. She laughed as her lover laughed, just enjoying the moment. At night, that was her philosophy. Enjoy the moment and enjoy just being what she was...wanting what she did...taking pleasure where she found it....learning about herself and about sex...she had been a virgin before that night in the park...she still had had only one lover.

One was enough for now. She was content and satisfied. Besides, it was hard enough sneaking around with just one vampire. Why would she add another one? Oh, yes, she knew if she took another lover it would be a vampire. She was spoiled to their cold touch...their knowledge of the line between pleasure and pain....the feel of fangs biting into her heated flesh as she came...the gentle sucking as blood was taken from her body...the feel of cold arms around her as she slept...not hearing a heartbeat as her head lay on her lover's chest....the roughness of the demon tempered with the gentleness of love...oh yes, she was a vampire's whore. She would proudly admit that to herself...well, at least one vampire's whore she thought fondly. She gasped in pleasure as fingernails dug into her ass roughly.

She had learned the last few months that she got off on pain. Not severe pain, just enough to make her wet. She loved nothing more than to be punished before her lover fucked her. She had never realized just how kinky she truly was. Not until she met this wonderful creature in the park that night. Her eyes had been opened to a wonderful world of pleasure and trust. She felt loved when in her lover's arms. She glanced down and smiled, her love showing on her face as she took yet another finger. A fang scraped along her clit sending tremors through her. Her body tightened before she screamed out her lover's name. "Yes...Drusilla....."

****************

Drusilla watched the stars from her bench in the park. A middle aged man lay slumped at her feet, blood dripping from the bite on his neck. She had left Willow's an hour before, leaving her lover sleeping. The vampire smiled fondly as she recalled the look of utter pleasure that had crossed the girl's face before she had succumbed to her final orgasm. She loved making Willow cum. The soft noises and the breathy tone of the redhead's voice...the way she would call out her name, so needy and with such emotion. She knew the girl loved her. Could see it in those green eyes every night. She also knew she cared about the human too. She should have been disgusted at allowing herself to feel for her food. But, she wasn't. She felt happy when she was with Willow....calm.

She leaned her head back, her dark brown eyes counting the stars as she waited to leave. She did not wish to be back at the mansion before dawn. Her sire would be there waiting for her and the act would have to begin again. She loved her true sire dearly. He had been so good to her and Spike all those years before. But, this man that now wore his face...he wasn't her Angelus anymore. Her Daddy had been sadistic but not vindictive. He had played the most pleasurable games with them. Not anymore. Now, all he wanted was revenge on the little human slut that had made him lose his soul. She hated being at the mansion now. He had changed in ways she didn't like. Since he had returned, Spike had forgotten her. His first love had always been Angelus. He had taken care of when their sire had left those eighty years before, and he did love her, just not in the way he loved Angelus. She understood. She, too, had loved Angelus with such devotion. But, this was not their Angelus. He was mean and he hurt them now. She hated what he had turned into.

She had seen glimpses of their Angelus though. In the way he spoke and the way he would watch them both. But those glimpses always faded into the bastard that wanted only to kill the slayer. Unbeknownst to the others, Drusilla had begun trying to find a way to fix the curse...to take away the clause that was motivating him. She wanted her true sire back in her life...in her bed. Oh, they had been such a happy family for several decades. She wanted that again. She wanted Willow to experience that joy...that pleasure. Willow was going to be hers just as Spike belonged to Angelus. Together, the four of them could have such fun. But, not as things were now. Now, Angelus would murder her lover just to get the slayer upset. He had already tried once, thankfully not succeeding. Drusilla knew if he harmed Willow, she would kill him without hesitation.

She knew the traditional laws of sire and childe, but there were unspoken laws of mates also. These laws were far more powerful than the mere bond between a sire and his childe. She had chosen Willow as her mate, even if the girl was unaware of her future destiny. Drusilla smiled as she imagined spending the remainder of eternity with the redhead and her male lovers. It would be such fun to share Spike and Angelus with the human. One day. When she could make Angelus normal again. They could remain in Sunnydale until Willow was ready to go. Then, the entire world would be theirs. She wanted to wake up with Willow in her bed...not having to run away as dawn approached for fear of being discovered. She didn't like hiding games.

Drusilla stood, stepping over the corpse at her feet. She walked to the mansion, her eyes taking in every detail of the areas she passed. She began to speak the words to the spell that would remove Willow's scent from her. She could not risk Angelus detecting the redhead on her. If either he or Spike became aware of how she spent her evenings, she would be punished severely and Willow would die. She could not take such a risk while her sire was so evil. The old Angelus would have welcomed the redhead, even alive, into their folds offering her lessons of pleasure and pain. He would have noticed how distracted his daughter was and figured out she was in love. Drusilla also knew her true sire would be happy that she had found a mate finally. An equal to spend eternity with. After all, he had found Spike all those decades ago. And she couldn't forget his courtship of her. She grimaced as she remembered finding her family dead. Thankfully, her Angelus had matured over the years since her embracing. He had quit playing those games the three decades she had been with him. Spike had calmed him down a lot. Just as Willow calmed her. She smiled as she thought how odd it was that Spike could be a calming influence. He was almost as sadistic as this Angelus was, but she knew his heart meant well. He would die for her or their sire. His loyalty and love had gotten her through the terrible years of not knowing where Angelus was. Now she almost wished they had never found him.

Drusilla walked into the mansion, glancing at the vampire standing by the stairs. She glanced at the floor, getting ready to act. Looking up again, she smiled as she walked towards Angelus. "Daddy...the stars are so lovely...they sang to me...Do you know what they sang?"

Angelus saw the vacant look in his childe's eyes and smiled. "No, Princess. What did they sing?"

"They sang of death and blood. Such lovely songs" Drusilla said, stepping into his open arms. Her eyes flashed with irritation as her head rested on his shoulder. Soon, though, she allowed them to take on the dazed and confused look that this Angelus knew so well. She felt Spike enter the room and glanced at him. He smiled slightly, the look of defeat in his blue eyes. He, too, knew that this man was no longer their true sire. He had resigned himself to the fact that he had lost Angelus. Drusilla winked at him causing him to smile before she pulled back and looked into the handsome face of the vampire that had embraced them both. Soon, she thought. Her daddy would be back and they could be a family again...a true family. "Would you like to listen to them with me?"

Angelus snorted, "Not now, love. You can tell me what they said later."

Drusilla nodded, following him reluctantly up the stairs. Sharing his bed was no longer a pleasure. He was rough and bit deep into her neck...often causing her bones to break. She had to heal herself before seeing Willow so that the girl would not know what she was forced to endure from her sire. But healing took so much out of her. She followed Angelus into the bedroom, closing the door on Spike's regretful expression. She closed her eyes, remembering in detail after vivid detail the night's events at Willow's house as Angelus began to fuck her. Her screams of pain echoed throughout the mansion as Spike entered his room, his blue eyes closing as they grew louder.

****************

Willow looked at the book in front of her, not really seeing the words. She was worried about Drusilla. For the past few nights, the woman had been tired and quiet. Willow knew something was wrong. But, for some odd reason, Dru felt as if she needed protecting. She wasn't stupid. She knew what Angelus was like and could only imagine what her lover was dealing with each day. She loved Dru though and wanted to help if she could. If only Dru would allow it. She sighed, glancing at Buffy and the others. They were still searching for a way to get Angel's soul back.

She honestly wasn't sure if that was wise. If he got it back, he could always use it again. She had listened to Drusilla tell about her sire and knew that this man was not the one that had loved her Dru all those years. Something had changed in him, she knew. It had to have been a side affect from the curse, but she couldn't ask the others without telling them how she knew he was different. So, she was stuck. She turned the page, trying to focus. Maybe she would stumble across something. What she really wanted to do was find Miss Calendar and ask. She knew the teacher would not ask why she knew he was different. After her own secret had been revealed in such a painful way, the teacher would keep her secret Willow knew. But, did she dare do it? Take the risk....

Willow suddenly sat up, feeling a pull on her soul. She looked up into the stacks, feeling Drusilla. She glanced at the others and said, "I'm going to check another book or two."

"Sure" Buffy said, not looking up from her own research.

Willow stood and moved to the stacks, finding Dru in the back by the window. "Dru?"

"The stars are lovely tonight" Drusilla said, turning to face Willow. She saw the girl's eyes widened and brought her fingers up to touch the bruises on her face. She had not been strong enough to conceal them that evening.

"What happened?" Willow demanded, keeping her voice low, but letting Dru know that she was not happy.

"Daddy got carried away" Dru said, not realizing how she spat out her sire's title.

Willow moved closer, brushing her warm fingers over the bites and bruises. "Angelus."

"He's not Angelus" Dru said softly, losing herself in the green eyes of her mate.

"I'm sorry." Willow said, leaning over and kissing one of the bites. "Has it been happening for long?"

Drusilla nodded wearily, "Since his return. He knows Spike will fight it so he chooses me....but he has beaten Spike also. I've covered them up before."

"Why?" Willow asked, pulling away.

"Didn't want you to worry, bella" Drusilla said simply.

"I do worry" Willow said. "Are you safe?"

"He won't kill me" Dru said. "But I fear that no one is safe with him around. He's crazy, my love. More insane than I ever was."

"I know" Willow said sighing. "I can see it in his eyes. That's why he scares me so much."

"I'll fix it" Drusilla said. "I want my old Daddy back."

"Do you...would you like help?" Willow asked.

Drusilla smiled softly, "Best you stay out of it, lovey. Don't want him getting suspicious. I couldn't stand it if he killed you."

"I love you" Willow said, kissing the woman tenderly. "I want to help get your Angelus back."

"You already help" Dru said, her eyes burning across Willow's face.

"I don't do anything except research" Willow protested.

"You love me." Drusilla said smiling.

Willow smiled, her face flushing slightly at the woman's words. "Oh."

"I must feed, bella. I shall see you later at your room." Dru said. "I just had to see you."

Willow nodded, "My room, tonight. Be careful Dru."

"Always my love" Drusilla said, stepping into the shadows after placing a lingering kiss on Willow's mouth.

Willow took a deep breath and went back into the lobby of the library. No one had noticed the length of time she had been gone. She now had another reason to hate Angelus. He was hurting Dru and Spike. She sat down, a determined look in her eyes. She would talk to Janna the next morning. Someone had to stop this Angelus. She had to help Drusilla.

****************

Jenny shut the book with a loud sigh. Nothing. She couldn't find anything that would bring Angel's soul back. The damn curse had been very good. She ran a hand over her face, wondering what she could do. No one would speak to her anymore. Willow still did, but she knew the girl would get a good talking to if the others knew. Buffy always just shot her disgusted looks and Rupert wouldn't even look at her at all. Cordelia just made snide comments and Xander was usually just shooting her dark looks in class. She wanted to help, but there was nothing she could do. She was brought from her thoughts by a knock on her door. Startled, she stood and opened it. "Willow?"

"Jenny" Willow smiled softly. "I need your help."

Jenny was surprised to see the young redhead look so serious. She nodded, moving to let the girl in. "Of course. What can I do?"

Willow walked inside, suddenly nervous. What if Jenny said no? She had to help Drusilla. Remembering the bruises on her lover's face, she strengthened her resolve as she faced the pretty teacher. "I need you to fix Angelus."

Jenny sighed, looking away. "I can't. There is not a spell I can find to bring his soul back."

"No!" Willow said sharply. She saw Jenny look at her in alarm. She shook her head, "I don't want Angel. There are too many complications with his soul being given back. The same thing could happen anytime."

"Then what?" Jenny asked, confused.

"I want the real Angelus back." Willow said, her voice determined.

"Real what?" Jenny asked, still not following the girl's conversation.

"The true Angelus. Not the hell bent on revenge and destruction Angelus." Willow said.

"I think you'd better explain" Jenny said, sitting down and motioning for the girl to sit too.

****************

"Princess?" Angelus said, looking at his daughter.

"Yes Daddy?" Dru asked, staring at him unblinkingly.

"Are you hungry, my darling girl?" he asked, curling a lock of her dark hair around his finger and watching it slide back down.

"No Daddy."

He nodded, moving from the bed. "I am. I'll bring you something for later. Maybe a cheerleader. They make for an easy snack. Not very filling and all."

"Thank you Daddy" she said in the voice he loved to hear.

"And tomorrow? Tomorrow I'll dine on the slayer's friend."

Dru felt a rush of panic at the look of glee in his eyes. Not Willow. "Who Daddy?"

"That damn gypsy" he spat out. "She's trying to 'cure' me with another damn soul. Stupid bitch. Tomorrow, she dies." Angelus looked back at Dru who was tied to the bed, her body covered in blood from his activities. "Spike, clean her up and put her to bed."

"Yes Angelus" Spike said, watching as Angelus left. Once he sensed his sire's presence leaving the house, he turned and looked at Dru sadly, "Are you hungry?"

"Yes" she hissed as he freed her arms. She sat up, her dark hair curling around her breast as her head leaned forward. "I hate him."

Spike brushed her hair from her face and smiled, "As do I, luv. But, he's our damn bloody sire. What can we do?"

She ran a cool finger along Spike's face and smiled. She could see the hopelessness in his eyes. "We can fix him."

"Fix him?" Spike asked, arching an eyebrow. He saw the familiar look enter Dru's eyes and waited. "How?"

"We can bring back our Angelus. Make things the way they used to be....long ago. Would you like that my Spike?"

He nodded, "Our Angelus. I'd love it. How do you plan on doing that Princess?"

She sighed, "By doing something I never thought we'd do."

"What?" he asked.

She smiled as she thought of Willow's eager face, "Asking my love for help."

*************************

Willow smiled at Jenny as she set the bag down. "Thank you."

Jenny just smiled, "Actually, I should be saying thank you. I mean, with the warning, you probably saved my life."

"I didn't" Willow said, sitting down. She looked towards the doorway and held out her hand to her lover. "Drusilla did."

Jenny looked at the dark haired vampire, still surprised at the look of utter devotion and love that burned in those dark eyes for the tiny redhead sitting beside her. "Yes, Drusilla did."

Dru looked at the gypsy as she took Willow's hand. She stared into dark eyes, trying to read the woman's soul. She nodded, satisfied by what she saw. "You will help us get my Angelus back."

"I'll try" Jenny said, her voice determined. She had been very surprised when Willow had appeared on her doorstep the night before. She had sat in shock as Willow had confessed her secret love affair with Angelus' youngest childe. She had been even more surprised when Willow had phoned her frantically a few hours before, demanding that she pack some clothes, leave some sort of note about being called away for an emergency with the school and meet her at this motel an hour from Sunnydale. Upon arriving, she had learned that she had been suppose to die that night by Angelus' hands. She owed her life to the two women seated in front of her. For that, she would die trying to cure Angelus.

Drusilla just smiled, her fingers tracing Willow's hand, "You'll find it. You should be safe here. Angelus will not anticipate that you knew of his plans so he will believe it was merely a case of bad timing. Stay here though and do not venture out during the night. Not until we know what is planned."

"Your faith is amazing considering it's my fault this happened" Jenny said softly, somehow feeling soothed by this woman's words. She could see why Willow had fallen under the beautiful woman's spell. She had never even looked at another woman in that way yet, Drusilla's soft words and those eyes burning into her as if they could read her very soul....well, she was lucky the woman wasn't asking, she decided.

"We can not be blamed for others' mistakes" Drusilla said simply. She looked at Willow, a soft smile crossing her face. "Shall we go now?"

Willow nodded, looking at Jenny. "I have your planner and I'll take over the main classes for the next few days. Try to find something that will help, ok? Be careful."

Jenny hugged the girl, and nodded, "I will. With this free time, I should be able to search long enough to come across something helpful."

Drusilla smiled, "Good luck."

Jenny watched the two women leave and stood to lock the door. She bolted it before turning to the room. She spoke the words needed to protect the room as she sat down and began her research.

*************************

"Thank you" Willow said as she and Drusilla walked into her house.

"For what?" Dru asked, pulling her lover into her arms and simply breathing in the scent of Willow. Roses and vanilla that evening.

"Saving Jenny. I know the others blame her, but I don't. She wasn't the one that cursed Angelus." Willow sighed, leaning closer to Dru. "I'm just glad she isn't dead."

"She'll find the solution, bella" Drusilla said, pulling back and kissing Willow. She moved the girl to the couch, sitting down, her mouth still on her lover's. She pulled away, grimacing as her back touched the sofa. "Will you hold me, lovey?"

Willow saw the grimace and anger at Angelus seethed through her. She moved and began to unbutton Drusilla's blouse. She gasped as she saw the marks, already healing but terrible nonetheless. "That bastard."

"Bella" Drusilla warned, hearing the hatred in Willow's tone. She couldn't have Willow hating Angelus. It would ruin her plans when her Angelus was back. "It doesn't hurt."

"You're lying to me" Willow said, brushing her warm fingers over the marks. She felt Dru stiffen and looked at her lover. She was surprised to see arousal on the dark haired woman's face as her eyes closed at Willow's touch. She smiled and bent down, brushing her lips over a mark. "You're forgiven" she whispered against Dru's skin as she gently brushed kisses over Dru's back. Willow let her hand drift up Dru's long skirt, finding her lover already wet. She slid her finger in as she ran her wet tongue over a mark. Dru arched forward as she added another finger.

Drusilla moaned as she began to move against Willow's thrusting fingers. She felt a warm thumb brush against her clit as Willow began to lick her back. Her pain was forgotten as she exploded against her lover's hand, coating it in sweet juices. Willow moved and took her lips, the two lovers sharing a soft kiss as Drusilla came down from her high. She pulled back, simply starting at Willow in amazement. "I love you, Bella."

Willow beamed at the words, "As I love you, Drusilla."

Willow removed her hand from the long skirt, bringing it to her mouth. She took one finger inside, her eyes caught by Dru's. She licked the juices off, tasting the familiar taste of her lover. She felt a heat spread over her as Dru brought her hand to her own mouth, taking a finger inside and tasting her own juices. Dru suddenly sat up, her eyes darting to the door. "Company."

"Huh?" Willow asked, her face flushed with passion and desire. The doorbell rang answering her question. She stood, opening the door. She knew her face was surprised as she looked at the man standing there. "What the...."

Spike smiled at the pretty girl, the scent of Dru's arousal and her own thick in the air. He tossed his cigarette on the ground and smiled charmingly at her, "Invite me in, luv" he demanded softly, his blue eyes raking over her slender body as lust spread over him. He could see why Drusilla was in love. She was splendid. Innocence and sensuality all wrapped in one lovely package. He caught her surprised green eyes with his and said again, "Invite me in luv."

Willow gulped, astonished by the sight of Spike standing on her porch looking at her with something resembling desire. She licked her lips, seeing the impatient look cross his handsome face, "Come in Spike."

"Spike!" Drusilla called to him. She frowned, "Why are you here?"

Spike went to her and kissed her cheek, his eyebrow raising as he took in her state of undress. "Not happy to see me, Princess?"

"Always Spike" she said, her eyes looking at Willow. "Spike, this is Willow. Bella, meet my Spike."

"Pleasure" Spike said, shooting her a charming smile. He was rewarded by a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Hi" she squeaked, looking to Dru for help. Spike's presence was overwhelming. He gave off waves of strength and power. She was strangely not scared of him, instead she found herself intrigued.

"Spike" Dru warned, hearing Willow's heart race. "Is it Angelus?"

Spike snorted, settling in the chair and plopping his booted feet onto the table. "Not likely. He's out searching for his dinner. Seems his plan to feed on the gypsy didn't work out. So, he's stuck slumming it."

"Really? Poor baby" Dru said, sharing a smile with Spike. He had been included in her plan the night before. She and her brother had spent the entire evening talking about everything. She had told him all about Willow and knew she had piqued his curiosity about her mate. That was the reason he was there that night. She had suspected as much when he had casually asked for her address, claiming it was so he would know how to locate her if he needed to. But, here he was.

"Yeah...he said not wait up for him. I think he's planning on finding some little tart to drain and fuck silly" Spike said, his blue eyes glancing at Willow as she sat down beside Dru. He saw how Dru perked up at the girl's contact and watched their hands clasp. He felt envy at their relationship. He shifted in his chair. Damn, he missed Angelus and the way it used to be.

"So he won't be in until tomorrow evening" Dru said, knowing the drill. She looked at Willow and smiled, "I can stay here tonight.....wake up beside you, bella."

Willow smiled, "I'd like that. I don't have class tomorrow so you can stay all day. Are you sure he won't miss you?"

Drusilla shook her head, "He won't."

Spike smiled, "I can always stay. Give you an alibi, Princess. We got carried away shagging like rabbits and had to find shelter from the approaching sun?"

Drusilla smiled, "I like that idea."

Willow glanced at Spike and then back at Drusilla. She saw the loving look her lover was giving the blonde. Dru loved Spike. Willow had known this but seeing it was different. She had known though that she would have to share her lover. She didn't mind. Spike loved Dru also so he wouldn't hurt her. Not like Angelus. "I have a spare room."

Drusilla exchanged a look with Spike. She nodded her head slightly, giving her consent. She took Willow's chin in her hand, lowering her mouth to claim her mate's lips. She watched as Spike stood, letting his leather duster slide from his shoulders. She squeezed Willow's hand as Spike sat down behind her mate. She felt Willow jerk forward and gasp. She let her tongue sweep inside Willow's mouth as she felt Spike's hand join their clasped one. She pressed forward, moving Willow to lean against Spike's hard chest. She had been the girl's only lover for months. If she were selfish, she would keep Willow to herself but she knew that Willow deserved to experience everything that love had to offer. It was time that Willow discovered the wonderful pleasure of making love with Spike.

Willow felt Spike's hands on her and whimpered into Drusilla's mouth. His hands were rougher than Dru's, calloused slightly. She felt her nipples straining against her bra at the unfamiliar touch. It was different but good. He was moving slowly and she could feel the restrained power in his caress. It was exciting to sit here kissing her lover and have another behind her. She felt Dru break the kiss and looked into the tender gaze of the vampire. She felt Dru's fingernail gently stroke her cheek as Willow licked her lips. Spike's hands caught her breasts, kneading them slowly as his mouth kissed the back of her neck.

"Enjoy Bella" Dru whispered softly, moving off of the couch and taking a seat to watch Spike take her lover's true virginity. She let her skirt fall, sitting down nude. She felt Willow's startled eyes on her and smiled. "This is for you, lovey. I want you to enjoy him."

Willow smiled at her lover's words, deciding that she would do her best to enjoy it. She was glad Dru was there though. She didn't know Spike and had to admit that part of the thrill was the underlying sense of danger that surrounded him. She leaned back against Spike, giving her consent for him to do as he wished. She trusted Drusilla to keep an eye on him. She felt him push her forward as her shirt was pulled above her head. She chewed on her bottom lip as her removed her bra. She felt him shift on the couch and she saw him sit in front of her.

Drusilla saw the tense way Willow was sitting. She let her hand drift across her breasts as she said softly, "Kiss her breasts. I want you to suck them into your mouth, Spike."

Willow felt her juices flowing at Drusilla's words. The quiet sound of her lover's voice alleviated her fears. She watched wide eyed as Spike smiled a wicked grin at his princess before leaning over and following her instructions. He lathered the girl's hard nipples with his tongue, scraping his teeth across them. He chuckled as he heard her gasp. He assumed that Dru played nice with her, not wanting to scare the girl. Dru always like soft and gentle. It didn't surprise him that her mate was another female. They complimented each other. He could smell the girl's arousal and knew she wouldn't last long. He had interrupted something with his arrival. Something that Willow hadn't had finished.

"Taste her Spike....she's so warm and sweet...drink from her" Drusilla said, her fingers trailing down her flat stomach to her own wetness. She slid a finger in as she watched Willow laying back on the couch and Spike's blonde head going between the redhead's thighs. From the noises Willow was making, Spike's talented tongue was doing a good job. "Doesn't she taste wonderful?"

Spike lifted his head, his face covered in Willow's juices. He licked his lips and winked at her, "Intoxicating."

"Yes....she's quiet addicting. Share the taste with her." Drusilla ordered, her words hushed but urgent. She was enjoying watching Spike slowly seduce Willow. The look of glazed passion on the redhead's face kept her attention. She slid another finger into her wetness as Spike caught Willow's mouth and shared a deep kiss.

Spike was drowning. The girl tasted wonderful. She was so warm and sweet and innocent. He didn't want to let her mouth go. He moved against her warmth, covering her body completely with his. He drew her tongue into his mouth as he swept his tongue into hers. He distantly heard Dru's next order and pulled up to let Willow breathe. He stood up, feeling green eyes and brown watching his every move. He slowly took his shirt off, playing up his strip tease. He shimmied out of his jeans, hearing Willow's gasp as his long hard cock came into view. He looked up, his eyes dark with desire as he slid them over Willow's naked form. "What next, Sis?"

Dru smiled at the old nickname. "Fuck her, Spike. Take her to the highest level possible."

Spike grinned at Dru, "You got it Princess."

He moved against Willow, kissing her deeply before pulling away. "This will hurt at first, pet. Just concentrate on my eyes and the pain will fade. Promise."

"Make love to me Spike" Willow asked, keeping her eyes on his. She bit into her lip as he eased slowly into her tight cunt. She cried out, her fingernails digging into his back as he pushed through her barrier.

Spike felt his balls hit her ass as he entered her completely. He kept his eyes on hers, listening to the soft moans coming from Drusilla. He smiled as Willow wiggled against him. He took that as a hint she was ready for more. He began a slow rhythm, one hand caressing her breast and the other drifted down her body to brush against her wet clit. He heard her gaspy moan and kissed her again. He loved the warmth. He had forgotten how it felt like having sex with a human. It had been so long. He began to move faster as her ankles joined behind his ass. He heard Drusilla's breathy moan as she came with a whimper.

Willow felt herself explode as she came with a scream. She kept repeating Spike's name in a moany mantra as he continued to fuck her. She felt a cool hand on her cheek and looked into Dru's loving eyes. She smiled at her lover as Spike sunk deeper and deeper. She arched her head up as Dru leaned down and caught her lips. She felt Spike pause and heard him ask, "May I taste?"

Dru pulled away from Willow and looked into his yellow tinged eyes. He had been so careful with her Bella. She nodded, "Not too much, brother."

Willow felt Dru's mouth catch hers again as Spike gave three quick thrusts. She felt his teeth bite into her breast as cool liquid flooded her cunt. She felt herself coming again from the bite and the final friction of his body against hers. She felt her head being lifted as Drusilla sat down, her head in the vampire's lap. Cool hands brushed her hair as Dru smiled down at her. "Wasn't he wonderful?"

"Yes" Willow said, kissing her lover's hand. "Thank you."

"I love you Bella" Drusilla said, looking at Spike. "Love you too, Spike. Soon, Angelus will join us."

Spike smiled, licking at the bite mark on Willow's chest as he settled between her legs. He kept his eyes on his sister and her mate, memorizing every detail of them for the long days at the mansion.

****************

Willow heard the distant beeping and frowned in her sleep. She shifted on the bed, moving towards the coldness of her lover. She felt cold arms embrace her frombehind as she snuggled closer. Something hard rested against her butt, causing her to frown. She suddenly realized that it was Spike. Her eyes opened, looking into Drusilla's amused brown gaze. She glanced behind her shoulder, smiling softly as she saw that Spike was still asleep. He looked almost innocent in sleep. She moved to leave his arms freezing as she heard a low growl. Almost innocent, she reminded herself. She looked helplessly at Dru, hoping her lover could provide her with a way out of this predicament.

Drusilla brushed the hair from her mate's face, smiling as she heard Spike's growling. She kissed Willow's lips tenderly, pulling back and staring into the girl's green eyes. "Did you enjoy last night?"

Willow's face flamed as she gulped, "Uh...yeah. Very much so. More after you joined us though. I mean, I enjoyed Spike and his touch....it was different than you, but I missed you. Thank you."

"I love you Bella" Dru said simply. "I'm glad there was no discomfort. Spike is an amazing lover. One of the best I've ever had. I wanted to share that expertise with you."

Willow smiled, her breath catching as a large hand began to knead her breast. She glanced behind her and saw that his eyes were still closed. "Is he sleeping or......?"

Dru nodded, "Yes, lovey. He's sleeping. He enjoyed last night. It is the happiest I've seen him since our Angelus was cursed. You bring us both such joy."

"Me? Oh, well....thanks" Willow said, chewing on her bottom lip. She suddenly noticed the persistent beeping. "I think that's my pager."

Dru cocked her head to the side, her eyes wandering over the room. "Yes, I believe it is. I'll fetch it for you. It doesn't appear that you will be able to get up for a bit."

Willow felt Spike shift behind her, his mouth nuzzling her neck in his sleep. She whimpered softly as he began to suck the flesh into his cool mouth, his blunt teeth scraping over her skin. She felt his erection against her dampening slit and moved her legs slightly, allowing it to brush against her. She cried out as he slid into her, his fingernails digging into her waist. Drusilla turned, a smile crossing her face. She sat down, the pager forgotten in her hand, as she watched her brother take her mate. She caught Willow's eyes, her approval obvious to the girl. Drusilla was glad that Spike liked Willow. She so wanted them to all be a family. She heard Spike's groan and smiled. She spoke, "Permission given."

Spike heard Dru's soft words and smiled. He loved her Bella. The warmth and sensuality of the girl intoxicated him. He hissed as her tightness clenched around his cock. His teeth bit into her shoulder as he spilled his seed into her. He heard Drusilla's moan and knew that his princess had cum also. He lifted his head, licking the blood from the corner of his mouth. Willow's green eyes found his as she smiled slightly. "Morning, pet."

"You weren't sleeping" she scolded softly.

"Was too" he defended. He had woken up during her and Drusilla's conversation, true, but he had remained silent until the need to be inside her had overwhelmed him.

"No you weren't" Drusilla said, moving to sit on the side of the bed. She looked at Willow, "He was when you asked me, but he woke up soon after. Do you know how beautiful you are when you cum?"

Willow shook her head, mesmerized by her lover's eyes. "Am I?"

"An angel fallen from Heaven" Dru said, her fingers running over Willow's sweaty face. She sniffed the air, "The scent of your mating is thick. You enjoy Spike as he enjoys you."

"I do" Willow agreed. It was different being with a man, but it was nice. She enjoyed the slight edge to having sex with Spike...the air of danger. With Drusilla, it was slow and gentle and their love was demonstrated in every soft caress. With Spike, it was more of a need and a mutual satisfaction. She didn't know him well enough to love him yet, though Dru's memories of him had rather bewitched her.

"I like your mate, Princess. She's good for us" Spike said, his tongue running over the bite on Willow's neck.

Dru nodded, "That she is. Oh, here is your pager" she handed Willow the annoying device.

Willow took the pager and clicked it. "It's Jenny. She must have found something."

Drusilla caught Spike's hopeful gaze and smiled. "I hope so."

Spike nodded, "Me too. I want our Angelus back."

Willow looked at him, a slight smile crossing her face. "If you let me up, I can call her and find out."

Spike grumbled, "Fine, but afterwards get back in bed. It's too early to be awake anyway. Damn silly humans. Don't you know the best time to sleep is during the afternoon?"

"Hush Spike" Drusilla said, rolling her eyes as he stuck his tongue out at her. She hoped that the gypsy had found something useful. She so wanted them to be a family. She couldn't wait for her Daddy to meet her mate. He'd love Willow, just as she did.

****************

Willow was sitting in the front seat, her hands clenched to the seat. "Goddess, you like to drive fast don't you?"

Spike grinned at her, moving into the other lane. "What can I say? I like speed."

"He hasn't wrecked" Drusilla said, grinning wickedly, "very often."

"I heard that" Spike said, taking a drag from his cigarette.

"Oh, turn here" Willow suddenly said, holding on as he recklessly turned.

"The motel is down the block. Right there. The Paradise." Willow said, pointing.

"I hope the gypsy has found something" Spike said, glancing at Drusilla.

"I'm sure she has or else she wouldn't have paged" Drusilla said, sliding out of the car and taking Willow's hand.

Jenny had been looking out the window, waiting for Drusilla and Willow. She saw Spike and frowned, wondering why he was there. She saw Willow holding his hand and decided that if Willow trusted him, she did. She opened the door, smiling at Willow and the others. "Hello...thanks for coming."

"Hello Jenny" Willow said, smiling at the teacher as she walked into the room. "Jenny, this is Spike. Spike, this is Jenny."

"Gypsy" Spike said, his eyes flashing slightly. He knew this woman wasn't responsible for his sire's situation, but he still blamed her.

Jenny saw his eyes and heard the chill in his voice. She nodded at him before turning to Willow and Dru. "I think I may have found something useful."

"Really?" Dru asked, sitting down. She looked at the pretty teacher, waiting to hear what the woman had found.

"What is it?" Willow asked, sitting beside Dru and taking her lover's hand. Spike sat behind them, falling to the bed as he continued to smoke. He hoped the gypsy had found something to bring his sire back, but he wouldn't believe it until Angelus was back to normal.

"I don't know if it will work, but it's the only thing I can find. It sounds feasible in theory, but there are some problems."

"Tell us" Drusilla said, her eyes on the teacher.

"I found a spell that might work" Jenny said, reaching for the book that contained it.

"What does it do?" Willow asked, looking at her curiously.

"It doesn't re-soul him does it?" Spike demanded, not sure if he'd rather deal with this Angelus or the souled Angel.

"No. I believe it will remove the added clause, that need for revenge against the one that took his soul. If I'm right, this should bring your Angelus back." Jenny said, hoping she had translated correctly.

"What must we do?" Drusilla asked, knowing there must be a catch.

"That's the problem" Jenny said softly. "It is pretty involved."

"Tell us" Spike said, having sat up and was now leaning against Willow, his hand joined with Dru's on the girl's upper thigh.

"There must be a circle around him. One who loves him and one who is of his blood." Jenny said, glancing at her notes.

"I love him" Spike said, glancing at Dru. "Dru's of his blood."

"Not a childe....a real member of his family" Jenny said.

"I am" Drusilla said, seeing the surprise on the human's faces. "Very distant. Cousins several times removed. Hence the reason he found me in the first place and proceeded to drive me insane....or at least try to. But, that was when I was alive. Now, I am his daughter. You have the first two requirements. What else?"

Jenny looked back at her notes, "Various herbs and materials that I should be able to locate at a magic shop or through my contacts. There is one other thing though."

"What?" Willow asked.

Jenny looked up, regret in her eyes. "The circle? Besides the two that belong to him, there must be six more.....a circle of eight surrounding him as the chant is completed."

"Eight?" Willow said, closing her eyes. "No...."

"Bloody hell" Spike cursed. "Where the hell are we suppose to find four people to help with this?"

"I can force someone" Drusilla suggested.

"Won't work. They had to be there willingly and want the spell to succeed, otherwise it won't work" Jenny said, glancing at Willow.

"Four people who want Angelus normal and not revenge motivated" Willow repeated softly, sighing. "I don't really see much of a choice. I'll have to ask Buffy and the others."

****************

Willow walked into the library, counting slowly in her head. She couldn't believe she was about to confess everything that she had been doing the past months. They would never look at her the same way again. But, she had to do it. The future of Sunnydale could depend on it. If Angelus had his way, the entire world would be destroyed in his quest for revenge against Buffy. She couldn't stand by and allow that to happen. Not when she had a chance to stop it. So, she was about to lose her friends and only hoped that they would be able to see the big picture and would help despite their disgust in her.

Xander heard footsteps and looked up, smiling, "Hey Wills. You're running late."

"Had to stop by home and drop some stuff off" she replied, sitting down at the table. She had also picked up Drusilla, Jenny and Spike who insisted on being with her during this entire ordeal. She had made them stay outside until she told her friends about her and Dru. She knew it would be hard enough for them to accept it without her lover standing there. "Is Giles around?"

Buffy looked up and nodded, her eyes narrowing as she saw the nervous way Willow's eyes were darting around the library. "He's in his office. Why?"

Willow looked at Buffy and sighed softly, "I'd rather him be here too."

Cordelia glanced at Xander, not liking the ominous sound of Willow's voice. "I'll get him."

Willow smiled thankfully at the girl as she tried to avoid Buffy's stare. She could do this. She looked down at her hands and noticed how they were holding onto her jacket until the knuckles were white. She was strong. Drusilla often told her about the strength and power she could see burning in her eyes. She just wished sometimes that she could see it so easily. She saw Giles coming into the library, his eyes curious as he sat down. "You wished to see me Willow?"

Willow nodded, "Yeah....there's something I have to tell you all."

"What?" Buffy asked, her eyes worried. "What is it?"

Willow sighed, "This is tough for me so please just listen......."

"What is it?" Cordelia demanded.

"A few months ago, I ran into someone unexpected. We began having an affair....I understand that this will be impossible for you to accept but I'm in love."

"Who is it?" Buffy asked, fearing the answer.

Willow looked up, her eyes sad but hopeful, "Drusilla."

Buffy leaned back in her chair, her eyes wide. "No...you're joking aren't you?"

"Drusilla? As in insane crazy vampire lady?" Xander asked, shaking his head in disbelief.

"She's not insane!" Willow defended. "Why do you all think she's nuts? Because Angel said so? Well, I'd say there was a lot that he failed to mention or twisted, as we've found out!"

Giles closed his eyes momentarily before he looked at the pale, irritated girl. He saw the tense way she was sitting and felt sympathy. "She hasn't tried to kill you?"

Willow moved her glare from Xander to Giles, "No, she hasn't. If she had wanted to, I'd be dead."

"So, you're gay" Cordelia said, shrugging, "Hey, whatever floats your boat. She makes you happy and loves you, I don't see a problem. As long as she doesn't try to kill you...or us."

Buffy glanced at Cordelia in surprise before she looked back at Willow. She hated seeing her friend so upset but this was hard for her. Drusilla was her enemy. Not as much as Angelus, but still up there on the scale of who not to meet in a dark alley. Now, she had to find out that this woman that had tried to kill her was involved with her best friend. And that said best friend seemed truly in love with her. She didn't like the idea that Drusilla might be using Willow in some sort of twisted revenge scheme. She sighed, looking at the redhead, "Will....why her?"

Willow saw the struggle in Buffy's eyes. She couldn't believe how easily Cordelia of all people had accepted it. She looked at her best friend and said simply, "I fell in love with her."

Buffy smiled sadly, saying, "I can't fault you for that, but it doesn't mean that I like this."

"You aren't mad?" Willow asked softly, surprised.

Buffy laughed shortly, "How can I be mad at you for falling in love? If she tries to hurt you....I'll kill her."

"If I ever hurt you, you may" a soft voice said from the doorway. Drusilla looked at Willow, a small smile on her face, "Bella, I felt your worry. I'm here now....."

Willow took Drusilla's hand and held it tightly. "I'm glad you're here." Dru smiled softly, looking at her mate, "I'm always here for you, Lovey. Can they come in yet?"

Buffy watched in amazement as Drusilla sat beside Willow, the love and obvious affection in the woman's dark eyes. This was the nutty woman that Angel had warned them about? She couldn't see it. "Can who come in?"

Drusilla looked at the slayer that had taken her daddy's soul away and felt nothing. She frowned slightly wondering why she felt no hate or even dislike towards the blonde. She turned her attention back to Willow, not wanting to argue with the slayer. She needed her, as much as that thought was displeasurable, it was true. "May they?"

Willow smiled slightly, proud that Dru hadn't reacted badly to the slayer. She nodded, "Yes. It will be easier to explain with them here too."

"Them who?" Giles asked, repeating his slayer's question. He looked up as the door opened and Jenny walked into the library, a bag in her arms. "Jenny?"

"Rupert" Jenny said quietly, smiling at Willow. "Willow, Spike is on his way. He thought you might need a soda after the big confrontation. I think he mentioned something about a burger too and that you needed to eat or you'd be too weak....." she frowned as her eyes lit with amusement, "He didn't specify for what, but I can imagine by that smirk on his lips."

"Jenny!" Willow said, her cheeks flushing under the scrutiny of her friends. "I'm going to kill you" she hissed, rolling her eyes as Drusilla laughed softly.

"Spike? What the fuck is going on?" Xander demanded, not caring really that Willow was involved with Dru. The woman might be a vampire and slightly crazy, but she was a hottie. He suddenly had visions of his friend with the woman and felt himself becoming warm. But, Spike. That was a different story. The blonde had tried to kill them all several times before that bastard Angel had lost his soul. Adding Spike to the vision cooled him off completely.

Jenny put her bag down, reaching for her notepad. "We found something that might be useful, but we need all of you to complete the spell. It should solve the problems of Angelus. Interested?"

Buffy felt her body tense at her ex-lover's name. She had thought she was in love with Angel but after the past months, she knew there was no way she could ever feel the same about him. But, she also wasn't sure if she could see him dead either. It was all just too confusing to her. She looked at Jenny, saying, "A spell? And it will solve things? What is it?"

Giles saw the hope in Buffy's eyes and cursed softly. He knew she wasn't going to be able to kill Angelus. He wore the face of her first love. But, a spell? Hadn't that been what got them into this mess anyway? He looked at Jenny and saw her eyes watching him, waiting. "Tell us. Please."

****************

Angelus smiled as he and Drusilla walked through the streets of Sunnydale. "Did you hear, princess? The gypsy bitch is back."

"Yes, Father. You have told me already this evening" Drusilla said, her eyes watching the walls as they walked past. She cried out as he hit her, knocking her to the dirty ground. She landed in a puddle of water, her dress soaking quickly. She looked up into his cold eyes, shivering at the look she saw in them. The spell had to work. If it didn't, she was going to be forced into killing him.

"Don't speak to me that way" he said, his eyes lit with anger as he took in the mark on her pale cheek. "Ever."

"Sorry Father" she said softly, her eyes watching the water as she stood slowly.

"Where's Spike?" he demanded, suddenly realizing that he hadn't seen his blonde childe since the day before.

Drusilla looked at Angelus, "I haven't seen him since dawn. He must be feeding."

Angelus narrowed his eyes before shrugging, "If I didn't know better, I'd think he was trying to avoid me."

"Surely not, father" she said, taking his hand and ignoring the discomfort on her face where he had struck her. "Why don't we go find the gypsy? Surely a spot of torture and blood would be nice."

He nodded, walking with her. A smile crossed his lips, "Yes it would, Princess. If you're good, I may let you taste her blood before I kill her."

"Really, Daddy? I'd love that" she said, looking at the sky. "The stars are singing tonight. Do you hear them? They tell of love and pain and happiness."

"I'm sure they do" he said, "Lots of pain equals happiness."

"Of course, Daddy" she said lightly. "Can we find the gypsy now?"

"Yes Princess. We'll find her now."

****************

"Are we ready?" Jenny asked, looking up at the group.

Willow was glaring daggers at the still form at their feet. She had seen the mark on her lover's cheek and knew that Angelus had struck again. She hated him more than she ever thought she could hate someone. She hoped this spell worked. She glanced at Spike and saw him tapping his foot impatiently as he took another drag from his marlboro, his blue eyes on the dark haired vampire. She knew he was nervous about all of this. If it worked, he would finally have his lover...his mate...back. "I think so."

Drusilla sat behind Willow, her arms around the redhead's waist. She looked at her sire, thinking that he was going to have a hell of a headache upon waking. She had to smile at that image. Sure, he might be her Angelus upon waking but he deserved to suffer a bit. She had almost laughed at the expression on his face as Spike had appeared beside the slayer, easily catching Angelus off guard and knocking him out. She held out her hand to Spike, smiling softly at her brother as he took her hand like a life line. She looked at Jenny, "We're ready."

"So are we" Buffy said, still amazed that she was making a treaty with her enemies to try to rid Angelus of the clause. After hearing their explanations, Buffy had had to agree that they were right. She hated that she would lose Angel, but she would be glad to not have to fight her ex-lover anymore. "Where do we need to sit?"

Jenny looked at Angelus' chained body and said, "I need Spike and Drusilla near his head. Willow, you sit between them. Everyone else just sit around him. Make sure you are holding hands and that you are also touching some part of Angelus. Dru, we need you to fill this cup with your blood and Spike's."

Dru took the glass and set it down. She took the dagger that Jenny had prepared for the ritual, slicing her wrist and letting the blood flow steadily. She filled the cup halfway and then handed it to Spike. He followed her example, filling the cup the rest of the way. The cup and dagger were then passed back to Jenny, who took them and placed them beside the rest of the materials. She took a deep breath, glancing up in surprise when she felt a hand join hers. She saw Rupert watching her and smiled softly. 'Thank you' she mouthed to him before turning back to the spell. "Let's begin."

For half an hour, words flowed from the eight people joined around Angelus. A breeze began to blow, blowing out the candles. There was a sharp light and then darkness. Drusilla saw the lights flicker on and looked at the circle. Everyone was looking around, slightly confused. She looked down at her sire, the blood from his children still on his lips. She felt Willow hold her hand tightly, the girl's warm fingers rubbing her palm. She watched as dark eyes opened, a confused look in them. Confusion turned to wonder and dismay as he struggled against his chains. She softly said, "Angelus?"

****************

"The stars are lovely tonight" Drusilla said, turning to look at the small redhead that had come up behind her. "Did you sleep well?"

Willow moved into her lovers' arms, smiling softly, "Yes. Very well. Missed you when I woke up."

"Why is it you chits always want to sit around and blab at such horrid hours?" Spike asked, walking onto the veranda. He stretched, his nude body looking magnificent in the moonlight.

"Grumpy today, Blondie" Willow laughed.

"Get up on the wrong side of the bed?" Drusilla asked, a smile on her face.

"You bloody well know what side of the bed I woke up on" Spike said, his eyes searching the table. "Damn, I need a fag."

"So, is that what you're calling me now?" an amused voice asked.

Spike rolled his eyes, glancing at his sire, "Great. The comedian has risen."

Angelus cocked an eyebrow and glanced down at his flaccid cock. "Not yet, but give me a few minutes."

Willow laughed, moving from Drusilla and stepping into Angelus' arms. She kissed his cheek, "Morning, Father."

"Red" Angelus said, moving in to kiss her deeply. He pulled away, smiling at Drusilla. "Princess."

Dru smiled, walking into her father's arms. She kissed him before moving behind Willow. She snaked her arm around the redhead's waist, watching with amusement as Spike glared at them all. "Evening, sire."

Angelus glanced at Spike, his own eyes lighting in amusement. "William, aren't you a bit lonely over there?"

"I'm fine" Spike said, sitting on the rail and looking over the side.

"Spikey....come on over here...." Willow teasingly called to him. She saw his lips twitch but he continued to look over the veranda.

"I do hope Buffy doesn't wander by and look up" Drusilla commented, hearing a chuckle from Spike but rolling her eyes as the blonde continued to look over the edge.

"Speaking of the slayer" Angelus said, making a slight face, "we are supposed to meet them for that thing tonight aren't we?"

"That thing?" Willow repeated, laughing, "Yes, it's Buffy's birthday party."

"Fuck" Spike cursed, "I really need a smoke."

Willow smiled as she watched Angelus move towards Spike. A slight smile crept upon the handsome vampire's face as he moved towards his mate. She leaned back against Drusilla, moving her head slightly to kiss her lover. It had been three months since the spell had removed the clause, bring back the old Angelus. Why he wasn't the same as Angel, he was a huge improvement over the other Angelus. In fact, the four of them had been helping Buffy and the others quite a lot the past months. She loved it. The four of them had become a family of sorts. Albeit a rather perverse family, always sharing a large king size bed. But, she loved it. She also loved that her friends had accepted things so well. She rethought that. It had taken Buffy longer than the others, having to accept that her best friend was involved with three vampires. When she had witnessed the love and devotion to her friend though she had to admit that they worked well. Giles and Jenny were dating again, taking things slowly but trying to rebuild their relationship. Willow was so happy that she didn't have to keep her and Drusilla's love a secret anymore. She watched with amusement as Spike was coaxed into Angleus' embrace, the handsome men kissing beside the railing. She looked up at Dru and smiled, "Yep, Buffy would not enjoy walking past right now."

Dru laughed, leaning down and kissing her mate before answering, "Eh, Bella, who knows? Maybe she would like it."

Willow laughed as Angelus and Spike moved towards them and joined them on the couch. She gave herself over to the pleasure as she looked at the stars, glad that they had awhile before Buffy's party started.

THE END
