"Soon enough."
"I don't like waiting." Drusilla pouted. The corners of her mouth turned down and she looked up at Angelus through dark lashes. "You said he would be my pet."
"And he will be. When I'm finished." Angelus cast one last cruel look in Drusilla's direction before placing the palm of his hand on the boy's chest. He felt the rush of blood beneath it, then the catching of breath.
"heh� hehISHHahh!" A shiver racked William's body and he shuddered beneath Angelus' touch. Pale skin and blond hair, both soaked from the night rain, seemed to glow in the faint candlelight of the bedroom. He shivered again and turned his head, the only part of his body not pinned to the bed. "eiiSHHH!"
"Lovely�" Angelus pressed closer to William as he jerked forward. The trembling of breath and limbs below him was sweet and warm. "But not as lovely as you could be, boy. Come on�" He ripped the shirt from William's chest and gave him room to squirm out of the damp material.
"Oh, how he shivers, like a little bird."
"Dru..."
"You'll be colder when Daddy's through with you, sweet William. No more shivers or trying to fly, though."
