At two ten in the morning, Buffy woke up due to Angel running his hands lovingly along her arms and on her cheeks. She opened her eyes and came face to face with his big brown ones. Ones that she was drowning despite everything she was telling herself.
He just smiled up at her and pulled her back to him, kissing her slowly. She parted her lips, allowing him access to her mouth. He massaged her tongue teasingly, smiling internally as hers came out to dance with hers.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he just pressed her body closer. Slowly the sheet that separated them both from each other drifted to the floor, leaving them both open to each other�s gaze.
Angel moved to her neck, suckling on the mark at the base of her neck. His mark, his mate. No one else.
He moved down her body, placing feather light kisses along the way. He took one breast and sucked the nipple into his mouth. Noticing the other one was neglected, he alternated breasts, suckling the one and slowly teasing the other with his thumb.
He moved back up to her mouth once more, and kissed her again.
�Angel�� Buffy breathed as their lips parted.
�Yes, love?� he whispered back.
�Make love to me.� Buffy pled. �I only feel alive when you�re inside me.�
Angel didn�t say anything more; he really didn�t need to. He slowly pushed his way inside her and felt her breathe out slowly in pain. He could feel her internal muscles clench down on his member. It was still all new to her, he remembered, and her body still wasn�t used to the intrusion.
�Angel�� she gasped.
�Ssh, just let go.� he promised her.
He felt her relax a bit and started thrusting slowly in an out of her. Moments later, she
was meeting him with matched movements, thrusting together like wild animals mating. They both climaxed together, and instead of falling asleep, Buffy reversed their positions and sat on top of him.
She pressed her hips down, and Angel started thrusting her hips in and out, watching her face contort in pleasure. She put her hands on his chest for balance and starting moving a little faster, all the while feeling his member move around her vaginal walls.
He massaged her breasts and they mated faster, neither one willing to go slow. Angel reversed their positions again, wanting her to come when he was thrusting into her. He bit down playfully on his mark, which made Buffy moan in ecstasy.
�Angel!� she cried out as she came.
Angel bit down again, and Buffy climaxed once more. He thrust into her completely, making sure she knew exactly who belonged to. Angel came last, spilling his seed into her. They fell asleep in each other�s arms, both basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking.
The next morning both Buffy and Angel were particularly tired from their love making three times the previous night.
Both felt a bit embarrassed and yet a little proud that they could keep up that many times. Granted Buffy was extremely sore, but it was all worth it in the end. She looked over at Angel and saw his peaceful face and his happy, little stupid grin on those beautiful lips of his.
Feeling the urge to, she leaned over and kissed him.
The day dragged on in a similar fashion. Buffy and Angel making love and trying to stay away from any words that close to �I love you�. They knew that they needed each other, but love between them was a different story. A whole other ball park all together. A road they weren�t going down now.
She didn�t know if they ever would again.
