Willow looked up as the door opened, a smile crossing her face. "I didn't expect you tonight."

"I had to see you," Darla said, closing the door behind her as she went towards Willow. "I missed you last night, baby."

"I missed you too," Willow said softly, chewing on her bottom lip. It had been the first time she had slept alone since she and Darla had become involved. She hadn't been able to sleep.

"Do you feel any better?" Darla asked, not giving Willow a chance to repond as her lips claimed the redhead's.

Willow whimpered as Darla claimed her mouth, the blonde's hands moving over her flesh. She pulled her mouth away, saying, "Don't."

Darla pulled away, her eyes searching Willow's, "Don't be ashamed, lover. I can smell your need."

Willow shook her head, "Please don't. It's too gross. I feel disgusting."

"I can make it better," Darla promised with a seductive smile. It was taking all of her control to keep her demon down. The sweet scent of menstrual blood was intoxicating, but she could see the hesitation and fear in Willow's eyes.

"Just hold me," Willow said, enjoying the feel of her lover's arms.

"Why don't we go lay down?" Darla suggested, tasting Willow's lips again.

Willow nodded, having just taken some more pills to stop the cramps. She had missed school, not feeling like dealing with Xander and everyone else. She followed Darla into the bedroom, keeping her shorts and shirt on. She watched as Darla stripped her clothes off, pulling the covers down. The blonde flashed her a smile as she patted the bed beside her.

"Come to bed, lover," Darla ordered softly, watching as Willow laid down beside her. She brushed her fingers over Willow's face, a smile crossing her lips, "You're so pretty."

"I look wretched," Willow said smiling softly.

"You look beautiful," Darla corrected, running a finger over Willow's lips.

"What did you do last night?" Willow asked, deciding it wasn't worth arguing with Darla.

"I took care of a problem," Darla said, brushing her lips over Willow's flushed cheek. She closed her eyes, inhaling the scent of blood as she felt her face shift.

"What problem?" Willow asked, looking into Darla's face, not surprised to see the demon. She knew how difficult it must be for her lover to be around her.

Darla opened her eyes, blue shifting to yellow then back again as she smiled, "I spayed a puppy."

"You found him?" Willow's eyes widened. "Did you hurt him?"

Darla shook her head, "Of course not silly. I just gave him a polite warning."

"Do you think he listened?" Willow asked, knowing that Darla had not been happy the other night when she heard about the man following her.

"Don't worry, baby," Darla said, smiling. "He won't bother you again."

"Thank you," she whispered, leaning over and kissing her lover.

"He won't hurt you, Willow," Darla said, resting her head against Willow's chest. "He just thinks he needs to keep you safe by keeping you away from me."

"You know him?" Willow asked.

"His name is Angelus," Darla said, her hand moving in circles over Willow's stomach. "He's my favorite childe."

Willow inhaled, looking down at Darla's blond head, "You're his sire? So what he's saying, it's the truth?"

Darla looked up at Willow, her eyes narrowing, "I'm his sire, yes. But what he tells you, it's clouded by his soul and memories of the past. I'm not the same person that he knew, Willow. I would never hurt you. Even now, it is taking all of my control not to taste your sweet blood, to simply spread your legs and feed on you. For you, I'm controlling the demon. I love you, Willow. You're mine."

"I love you too," Willow whispered. She glanced down then looked back at Darla. "Would you like to...."

Darla smiled then shook her head, "You're not ready for that, love. Not tonight. Ask me again tomorrow night. For now, let's sleep."

Willow smiled as she snuggled against the pillow, her eyes closing as Darla held her.
