Chapter twenty-three

ďż˝No...Not again.ďż˝ Douglass moaned as she started to shift in her seat.

Lindsey snapped his head over to the girl, sitting in the passenger seat at the sound of her voice. ďż˝Again? You mean the effects havenďż˝t worn off?ďż˝

Douglass bit down on her lip and shock her head side to side. ďż˝I was fine after...you know...We did ...ďż˝

ďż˝We had sex.ďż˝ Douglass hated feeling all flustered like this. She was *never* the shy one. So why did having some mind blowing sex with Lindsey turn her into some shy an awkward girl. So what, she had sex with him and by the mounting pressure between her legs she might have it again. Was it guilt from having enjoyed what happened between them? It was supposed to be about fulfilling a need, not an emotional experience.

If she went home what would the otherďż˝s think when she started panting around them? Or if she were to do things that she had done to Lindsey to turn him on?

ďż˝Lindsey you canďż˝t take me home, I canďż˝t have them see me like this.ďż˝ Lindsey was getting ready to protest when Douglass cut him off. ďż˝Can you imagine if I were to come onto on of the guys like that? Wes would piss himself, Gunn would...I donďż˝t know what Gunn would do. Iďż˝d have to move to Alabama if Spike and I ever...itďż˝d be like doing something with my brother. Worst of all Angel.ďż˝ The distasteful thought ran through her head. ďż˝Willow loves him, sheďż˝s my best friend. Not that heďż˝s not good looking...nice hair, beautiful eyes, and his ass...ďż˝ Douglass slapped her hand over her mouth and wished for a quick death. ďż˝See! I can not go back there.ďż˝

Lindsey was going to tell her all the reasons she should go home, until she started to describe Angel. Images of the blonde witch and the vampire in a compromising embrace filled his mind. The thoughts angered him, making his fingers curl around the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. She was right, she couldnďż˝t go back there. There was no way in Hell heďż˝d allow Angel to experience what Douglass had just granted him. Some primal male emotion built inside him. After what they had just shared he wasnďż˝t going to let her crawl all over any one of her friends, especially Angel.

Turning the car around in a very dangerous and illegal U-turn Lindsey headed to his apartment. Douglass was squirming in her seat again, fighting the rising sensations. This time he wasnďż˝t going to that the feelings turn into pain. If he satisfied her needs soon enough maybe sheďż˝d be sated enough not to get to that step. He just hoped they got to his place in time. Not that having sex in his car had been a horrible thing, but his bed sounded more inviting.

ďż˝Which window was it?ďż˝ Willow looked at the imposing mansion, and tried to battle the butterflies that had been let loose in her stomach. Spike said theyďż˝d have to climb up a trellis, and she hated heights.

ďż˝This way.ďż˝ Angel headed toward the wing of the house Spike had told him about over the phone. Willow and Cordelia followed a few steps behind. Gunn stayed in the car, incase they needed a quick get away.

ďż˝So to get back to the subject that we keep avoiding, We are going to just have Lindsey have his way with Douglass?ďż˝ Cordelia whispered. There had been an argument over whom to save first. The overly hormonal Douglass, or the unconscious Aria. Saving Aria had become first priority, seeing that her life was in danger. But the thought of Douglass and Lindsey together, and Douglass not really herself, didnďż˝t sit well for any of them.

ďż˝Cordelia thereďż˝s not much we can do. Even if we go and get her sheďż˝s going to be horny as hell.ďż˝ Angel whispered back. ďż˝Might as well let her get it out of her system with Lindsey. So when she comes to her senses she can use her dislike toward him to get through her embarrassment.ďż˝ The two girls looked at one another in confusions.

ďż˝So whatďż˝s wrong with just grabbing her and locking her in a room until the drug wears off?ďż˝

Angel sighed. ďż˝Because, some Aphrodisiacs make it quiet painful if...um...ďż˝ Angel wished they could stop talking about sex. Lately having to be around Willow and know that he couldnďż˝t do the things he wanted to do to her, was making him edgy.

ďż˝Oh...So she *needs* to get it, or sheďż˝ll be in pain.ďż˝ Cordelia watched the color that stained Willowďż˝s cheeks. ďż˝Come on Wills, weďż˝ve all had sex here. We just have the side effects that Brood Boy does.ďż˝

Willow looked away from Cordeliaďż˝s gaze, trying to pretend that she was focusing on getting around the house with out the occupants noticing her.

But Cordelia noticed the odd look in the redheads eyes. ďż˝You and Oz did do it right? I mean the whole Ascension thing?ďż˝

ďż˝I...well...wedidnďż˝tgoalltheway.ďż˝ The redhead mumbled. Cordelia looked at her friend in disbelief. ďż˝We did stuff, just not that stuff.ďż˝

Angel couldnďż˝t believe what he was hearing. Willow was still a virgin. He was positive that the Mutt had taken her virginity. That was why it had been so easy for Oz to just walk away from the girl. Wolves mated for life. The little punk hadnďż˝t made his claim. Angel hid his smile.

ďż˝There.ďż˝ Angel pointed to the window Spike kept open. Halting the sex talk.

ďż˝Iďż˝ll go up first. I just hope that we can wake Aria enough to get me invited inside.ďż˝ Angel put his foot on the first wooden slat and it broke under his weight.

Willow felt the butterflies start up again. What if she was halfway up and the wood broke under her? Sheďż˝d surly fall.

ďż˝Well there goes that idea.ďż˝ Cordelia grumbled.

ďż˝If it held Spikeďż˝s weight, it will hold the two of you. Iďż˝ll wait down here.ďż˝ Angel watched as the girls looked at one another, neither wanting to go first.

ďż˝Iďż˝ll catch you if you fall.ďż˝

Cordelia knew Willowďż˝s fear of heights, and decided to go first. Taking a hesitant first step, she waited a moment to see if the wood would break. After a moment she climbed up, holding her breath. She looked down only once to make sure that Angel was waiting under her, making good on his promise to catch her if she fell.

ďż˝Whatďż˝s taking you all so long?ďż˝ Spike stuck his head out the window, seeing Cordelia holding onto the trellis below him. Angel and Willow still standing on the ground.

ďż˝The wood wont hold my weight.ďż˝ Angel answered back.

ďż˝Spike will you move. Iďż˝m not enjoying this Spiderman like impersonation here.ďż˝ Cordelia glared at the blonde vampire, almost daring him to make some witty reply. To her shock Spike moved back to let her crawl through the window.

Willow took a deep breath and was about to take her first step up, when Angelďż˝s hand stopped her. ďż˝I could hear your heartbeat ten miles away Willow.ďż˝ Angel pulled her close and tried to reassure her. ďż˝Iďż˝ll be right here, incase anything happens. Youďż˝re not going to get hurt.ďż˝ He waited for a moment until her heartbeat slowed a little, and let her go with a kiss on top of her head.

Not really feeling all that much more brave Willow climbed up the trellis, her eyes glued on the window above. When she finally climbed through the window she collapsed on the floor for a moment. Taking deep breaths she silently congratulated herself for getting up to the second story window.

ďż˝Did you bring the stuff?ďż˝ Spike was hovering over the redhead; impatient with the amount of time it was taking her to jump into action.

Willow only nodded and pulled the packets out of her pant pocket. ďż˝We need to mix it with some water, and get her to drink it. The second part is harder than the first.ďż˝ The concoction was foul, and Willow knew that the unconscious girl would involuntarily gag most of it up.

ďż˝So this will take away the pain?ďż˝ Spike looked at the crushed herbs in doubt.

ďż˝Yup. Itďż˝ll last a couple hours. Have you figured out how we are going to get her out of here?ďż˝ Willow was starting to feel a little better; standing up she looked around the pretty room.

ďż˝Through the window. Weďż˝ll tie her sheets together and lower her through the window.ďż˝ Both girls looked at him. ďż˝Itďż˝s the only way. Way to many damn humans wandering around downstairs.ďż˝

Spike stalked to the private bath in search of a glass of water. After he mixed the ingredients he smelled it and wrinkled his nose in dismay. Why did these herbal medicines always have to smell so bad?
