Earlier this morning I explained to Xander what would happen tonight once Spike wakes up.  I'll give the kid credit he only flinched once.  Now he's with Buffy, Willow and Cordy.  All three hovering over him like mother hens.   Buffy constantly wanting to know if he's sure and if he isn't they could get in the car and drive back right then, while Willow and Cordy kept smiling, telling him how happy they were for him.

 

While Spike is sleeping, Giles, Wesley and I are setting up one of the spare bedrooms. We've moved in a king size bed, new sheets and several tables to set supplies on.  I have taken every opportunity to touch Wesley.  A hand on the back while comparing notes, a touch on the arm to get his opinion. Giles has gone down to help Willow mix herbs while Wesley and I finish putting the canopy on the bed.  I thought it might make Xander more comfortable with the three of us watching.

 

My eyes follow Wesley's every move and I think I'm beginning to make him nervous.  I watch as his arms stretch above his head to drape the netting along the canopy.  Leaning back against the wall I take in his lean form.  His shirt rises above the waist of his pants and inch by inch his tanned stomach is reveled to me.  As he stretches further forward his pants slip just enough to bare his navel to me.

 

Unconsciously I move across the room.  All thought has left me and before I fully realize what I'm doing my mouth is exploring the expanse of flesh bared to me, my tongue rimming his navel.  Hearing Wes gasps brings me back to reality. 

 

Taking a step back I close my eyes before I speak.

 

"God, Wes, I'm sorry.  I..."

 

"Don't stop."

 

My apology is cut short by his barely audible words.  My head snaps up to look at him and he's amazing.  His face is slightly flushed and he's breathing in small pants, all from arousal at my touch.

 

"Huh?"

 

"Do it again."

 

I can't help but moan at the need in his voice.  Stepping back to him I place my hands on his hips to keep him steady as my mouth again seeks his flesh.  The taste of him is enough to make my knees weak.  Licking my way across his stomach I once again settle my tongue in his navel.  Circling, stroking, thrusting in and out mimicking what my body wants.  I hear his ragged breath, formerly regulated breathing replaced by frantic panting. 

 

Leaving his navel I run my tongue along the edge of his jeans, slipping underneath as much as the material will allow.  My left hand comes down to unbutton his jeans.  Unzipping them, then pushing them down as I eliminate any hindrance to my goal.  I want to taste him.

 

"Angel.  Hey you poof, where are you."

 

"Shit."

 

I hear Wesley curse above me and as hard as I try I can't keep myself from laughing.  I've never heard Wes curse quite so violently.  I pull his pants back into place and help him down from the ladder just as Spike walks into the room.

 

Looking from Wes's flushed face to my annoyance, Spike raises one eyebrow.  I pray for brief seconds that he'll keep his comments to himself.  My prayers go unanswered.

 

"All I had to do was follow the trail of pheromones."

 

"Spike, what do you want?"

 

I try to keep from gritting my teeth as I speak.

 

"Just wanted to see if you needed any help, guess not, huh."

 

Looking from Wes to myself again he turns around and goes back the way he came.  I look over to Wesley to see that his color and his breathing has returned to normal.

 

“Wes I..."

 

"Please don't say you're sorry.  I'm certainly not."

 

"I was going to say I'm sorry we were interrupted and for Will's teasing."

 

"Oh, well, yes, that's good then.  I've really become used to Spike in the weeks he's been here, as a matter of fact...could you please kiss me so I'll stop babbling."

 

Without hesitation I pull him to me and sink my tongue into his mouth before he can take another breath.  I caress his tongue pulling it into my mouth sucking on it lightly.  Hearing him moan fuels the barely banked fire rolling through me and I crush our bodies together.

 

His hips shift rhythmically against mine.  I cup his ass and bring his erection against mine to create the friction we both crave.  My lips leave his to trail down his neck and I'm humbled by the fact that he doesn't even flinch when I begin to set light nips across his throat.  As I suck the skin along his jugular into my mouth his hips thrust harder against me and his breathing is nothing more than short pants now.  He's so close and I desperately want to feel that release against me. 

 

Moving my mouth to his ear I suck the lobe into my mouth, keeping my voice low I set forth to push him over the edge as my tongue rims his ear.

 

"Come for me Wes.  Please, I need you to come for me.  I want feel you let go."  I growl softly into his ear as he whispers my name.  "Give me what I want Wes, come for me.  I can smell how close you are.  I can smell it building through your body and God it smells so good.  You're so hot, so hard, like a fire burning me.  Now, Wes, now."

 

I let my human teeth bare down on his neck sucking the skin into my mouth as his body jerks against mine.  With my name on his lips, I feel the wetness seep through his pants onto mine.  His body goes limp and I hold him close to me as I feather kisses across his face.

 

When his body regains strength he reaches for me, pushing his hand away I shake my head.

 

"But you..."

 

"Later.  Why don't you get cleaned up and meet everyone downstairs."

 

He turns from me but not before I see the shimmer of rejection and self doubt in his eyes.  I reach out to turn him back to me.  Forcing his eyes to mine I'm determined to erase any doubts from his mind.

 

"Wes, I want you.  I want you so much its taking will power I didn't know I had to let you out of this room before sunrise."  Pulling him close I run my thumbs along his checks.  "I want to be inside you when I come and I don't want it to be rushed.  Just now I needed to know that you wanted me just as much.  I want time to explore your body, find each and every spot that makes you scream and moan and writhe with pleasure.  And I want the same in return."  After placing a firm kiss on his lips I seek his eyes once again.  "Okay?"

 

"Y-yes."

 

"I'll see you downstairs?"

 

Nodding his head he turns and leaves the room.  I'm so absorbed in watching Wes, I don't hear Spike come up behind me.

 

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

 

"Guess I won't be getting that phone call."

 

He jumps at my voice and I smile.  It's been a long time since my Sire has been so lost in someone else that he doesn't detect me standing not even a foot away before I speak.

 

Turning to face me I watch the smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

 

"Guess not." 

 

Taking a deep breath I smirk at him.

 

"At least now I know why you want him."  At his puzzled look I continue. 

 

"He smells good."

 

After two hundred and fifty three years you'd think he have outgrown the sheepish look.

 

"He does, doesn't he."

 

The look in his eyes says everything.  He's completely head over ass when it comes to Wesley.

 

At least I know he'll be okay when I leave him.

 

"They're ready downstairs.  I volunteered to come up.  Figured you'd rather have me walk in on you than anyone else."

 

"Thanks"

 

He starts to look sheepish again.  Bloody hell, you'd think he'd never been in love before.

 

"Well, let's go then."

 

"Wait, Will.  You know that this time's it's different.  He's human.  He's not

going to live forever, unless..."

 

"No.  I can't and even if I could I'd never turn him.  He doesn't want it.  I don't want it.  He wouldn't be the same.  I know that I'll lose him one day.  At least I can have the next however many years they see fit to give me.  As for Xander, he knows what to do if I get dusted.  He knows to come here."

 

"I hope you know that as well.  You'll always have a place with me."

 

"I know, but I don't know what I'll do.  There was only one time I was tempted to meet the sunrise and I can't say that I won't be tempted again.  But you'll know either way."

 

"Are you sure about this, absolutely sure."

 

"How many years did I spend with Dru, even during the years she'd scream your name in bed instead of mine.  I never loved Dru they way I love Xander.  I never needed her the way I need him.  He's all I exist for now."

 

He nods his head once.

 

"Let's go."

 

Walking down the stairs I see my hands start to shake.  The nerves are hitting me.  Am I doing the right thing?  Will I be able to protect and care for him the way I'm supposed to?  Does he really want this or is he only doing it to make me happy?

 

Searching for and finding his eyes my case of nerves suddenly disappears.  His gaze is clear and sure, shining with love that I've probably never deserved. 

 

Time around me seems to stop as he meets me at the bottom of the stairs.  How is it that he knows exactly what I need?  His hands tunnel through my hair as his lips touch mine.  So soft, so sweet and completely mine.

 

Pulling back he smiles at me as he takes my hand and leads me to the couch to sit down.

 

Angel is pacing once again, waiting for everyone to take a seat.  Once everyone is seated he begins to go over the details.
