Part 2:

Xander groaned at the sound of the doorbell, his eyes meeting those of his lover. He was going to kill whomever it was, Xander thought with a snarl. What had the world come to that you couldn't even enjoy a afterglow without being disturbed.

Xander shouted as he opened the door, "WHAT?"

"Looking good, pet." Spike commented leering at the naked man.

"I already knew that, Spike." Xander commented rolling his eyes.

Wrapping a possessive arm around his husband's waist Angel glared at his childe, "What do you want, Will?"

"Watcher wants you to meet them at the Magic Box." Spike said with a smirk.

"Can't they deal with it? We're in the middle of something." Xander commented opening the door for Spike to walk in.

"I can smell that." Spike said inhaling the scent of sex that reeked in the apartment and on the pair.

Angel smiled dangerously, "So you should know not to interrupt us."

"Sorry Peaches." Spike said with an unrepentant grin.

"I guess the shower will have to wait." Xander commented as he picked up his pants from on top of the freezer and put them on. Searching for his shirt he came up empty looking at Angel he asked, "Where is it, babe?"

Angel shrugged, "Its in pieces somewhere."

"Oh, yeah. Remind me to punish you for that later." Xander said his eyes shining with desire.

"I will." Angel said with a leer.

Xander smirked before walking into the bedroom and grabbing a black silk shirt. Walking back to the lounge, he found Angel kissing Spike. He sighed, why they couldn't have picked a better time? Like when they could spend a couple of hours reaffirming their relationships?

"Guys, we don't have time for this. We can have sex later." Xander said as he held the door open.

Breaking the kiss Spike looked at Xander in respect. Few people would accept their mates kissing someone else in their own home. Was the relationship between his Sire and Xander exclusive or not?

"Sorry, love." Angel said with a smirk as he grabbed Xander's hand.

The three walked to the Magic Box in silence but it was a companionable silence for a change. In the past the three used to argue whenever they were alone, something they had become known for. Now the relationship between them had changed the way they regarded each other, no longer did they see others as annoyances.

"What's so important you interrupted us in the middle of sex?" Xander asked with a grin as he walked into the room, Angel at his side as usual.

Buffy exclaimed in shock, "You've been locked in your apartment for the last two days!"

Cordelia said arching her eyebrows, "So? They once spent weeks locked in their bedroom at the Hyperion. The sounds from that room gave me nightmares for months."

"Serves you right for listening. Anyway we did tell you what we were doing." Xander said with a shrug unconcerned about the fact that their sex life was being discussed in front of their friends.

Wesley said with a smile to show he was joking, "It was more than I ever wanted to know about your sex-life."

"What did they say?" Spike asked with a smirk, wondering what could have provoked such a reaction from the Prom Queen.

Wesley repeated from memory, "They were going through the karma sutra and we weren't to panic if we heard any whips or chains."

Deciding not to comment on the man's statement Giles said, "There are a group of demons in the woods, we felt you might like to help us get rid of them."

"What kind?" Xander asked immediately sitting on the table.

Willow answered with a grin, "Heurxals."

"They are harmless, they live on plants." Angel said confused as to why the gang were intending to attack.

Wesley commented confused, "I'm surprised you know they are here. Heurxals are extremely Xenophobic."

"It was a spell of mine. It identifies demons in Sunnydale so we can kill them." Willow said with a shrug. She couldn't understand why they were questioning her.

Xander asked the witch worried about the change in her, "We don't need to kill them. Since when have you only cared about killing?"

"Its safer for everyone that way," Buffy said not liking the man's tone.

"You're not going to kill them. Its not right." Xander snarled causing Angel to move to his side knowing a fight was very likely.

Taking his cue from Angel, Spike reached into his coat and pulled out his trademark railway spike. Wesley and Cordelia moved to Xander's side, waiting to see how Buffy would react. Xander was one of them and they protected each other until death.

Buffy said scornfully, "Who's going to stop me, you?"

"Oooh, bad move." Cordelia commented seeing the calm look on Xander's face.

Spike shivered at Xander's expression, it was cold and calm, too calm. When someone looked like that all you could do was get out of the way before you ended up dead.

"Yeah me." Xander said with a smile.

Buffy sneered and tried to rush him. Xander calmly traced a pattern in the air and murmured a word. Buffy suddenly fell to the ground pain coursing through his body.

Bending down to her Xander said, "I'm not going to kill you. If you *ever* go after harmless demons or if you ever hurt mine, I will hunt you down. I will kill you and everyone who helps you and I'll make it last months."

Everyone apart from Angel shivered at Xander's voice. It was death and everyone knew it. Standing Xander smiled and wrapped an arm around Angel's waist.

"That was marvellous, love." Angelus said proudly as he came to the surface.

Xander responded with a flippant grin, "Thanks. Its all because I had a good teacher."

"Good teacher?" Angelus commented in mock-outrage.

"Sorry, wonderful teacher. Let me show you just how sorry I am." Xander said leaning in and capturing his mate's mouth.

Their tongues duelled passionately as they groaned ad tried to get impossibly closer to each other. Xander gently traced the vampire's fangs with his tongue knowing how much it aroused his lover.

/Wish we were alone/ Xander thought to his mate with a groan.

Angelus gave a wicked mental grin, /If we were I'd slowly peel those clothes off you and lick every inch of your skin until your begging for me./

/Then would you give me what I wanted, needed?/ Xander responded groaning as the images formed in his mind.

Angelus gave a smirk as he answered, /Next I would run my hands over you, teasing your body until it sang for me. When I am all you can think of, I'd finally give you what you wanted. I'd turn you over and fuck you. Hard and fast, so you'd feel it for the next month./

/Gods, you think we can get rid of everyone?/ Xander said his body burning with desire.

Angelus grinned, /No. I guess we'll just have to wait until we're alone./

"Want to go and check out for those Nix?" Wesley suggested knowing the sooner they found them, the sooner they could go back home.

Looking at the blonde Xander said, "Yeah. Coming Spike. I need to talk to you."

"Sure." Spike said following the LA group out of the shop leaving behind two very angry women and one extremely confused Watcher.

*******

"Where's Tara?" Xander asked with a grin.

Spike shrugged, "She doesn't get involved with any of the Slayer's plans or patrols. She doesn't approve of what they do but she loves Red too much to leave."

"Want to come back to LA with us?" Angel offered to his childe not liking the Slayer he had seen.

"Yeah. The Hellmouth has become a little boring." Spike answered with a smile.

"Why didn't you come to LA years ago?" Xander questioned knowing it would have been the safest thing for the blonde.

"I knew how much you liked helping the Slayer. I guess I was doing it as a tribute to you. Anyway my Sire tried to kill me last time I saw him."

Angel said apologetically, "I was a little insane then. Since Xander came into my life and my soul and demon have merged I'm sane again. You're more than welcome in LA. We both love you, Will."

"So how come you're a spell-caster, pet?"

Xander smirked, "Destiny. A prophecy was created saying that the man would die by the hand of a friend and be resurrected as the Warrior's Warlock. He would bond with the Warrior and the pair would forever fight for the forces of Light. I guess I just got lucky."

"So you two are going to live forever?" Spike questioned in a mix of awe and pity. What would it be like to live forever? To see everyone you cared about die?

Angel sighed, "The oracles haven't said anything. It could just be that when we're reborn our souls will continue the fight together."

Xander continued, "It doesn't matter though because we are together. That's all that matters, whatever time we have together is to be cherished."

Spike nodded as they walked falling into silence. As they patrolled the blonde couldn't help but wonder what was his place in their lives. Both Angel and Xander had made it clear that they wanted to have sex with him but was it on a sincere offer or just a pity fuck because he didn't have anyone.
