~~Chapter eight~~~

Willow looked out the passenger window at the passing scenery of LA. It had been a long day, and it was hardly over. Angel had awoken them early, even early by his standards, saying that they needed more practice. The practice was fine; it was the sexual innuendos and teasing touches that had played hell with her body.

That and the serious lip locks he would surprise them with. Sure she had always been attracted to Angel, what female wouldn't be? But the attraction was growing at an alarming rate. It was getting to the point that she had to keep herself in check not to reach out and touch him when he was near. Her body naturally gravitated towards his, dying for just a touch. She couldn't explain it. And those kisses, it heated her body from head to toe. He didn't just stop with kisses. He'd press his full body against her aching one, his hands traveling down her back to her rear, pulling her closer.

Willow squeezed her eyes shut telling herself to stop it. Angel had explained what he was doing. He just wanted them familiar with his touch. So they wouldn't be so tense around him. Plus there was the last step, his marking them, he wanted to make sure that they were ready. Willow had been confused by what he meant until the time came.

He had taken them to his bedroom, telling them how sorry he was that he had to do this to them. Taking Cordelia's hand first he led her to the bed, laying her down on her back. Then he turned to her, reaching out his hand until she was able to command her feet to move. Willow remembered that her heart was beating so hard she truly believed it was going to break one of her ribs. He placed her next to Cordelia then just stood back looking down at them.

Whether it was out of fear or nervousness, Willow reached for Cordelia's hand gripping onto it for dear life. Her friend squeezed back just as furiously. Angel took his shirt off. It wasn't like she hadn't ever seen Angel with his shirt off before, but at the same time she had never had his body pressed up against hers all day then see him without his shirt.

To Willow's embarrassment she could feel herself getting wet between her thighs. Angel made his way to the bed slowly, eyeing them both. One minute he was standing there, the next Willow felt his body on top of hers, pressing her down into the soft mattress.

"Are you sure Willow?" Angel's voice was low and hypnotic.

Nodding slightly and squeezing Cordelia's hand with all her might, she turned her head so Angel had better access to her neck. Angel chuckled softly. "I'm not going to attack you Willow." Lowering his head to her neck, Willow braced herself for the pain only to feel the coolness of his tongue tracing her collarbone. "You've read the Diaries, you know that this doesn't have to hurt. It can feel quiet... good."

Willow moaned as he whispered these words into her ear, running his tongue along her lobe. She was getting light headed, and that was probably why she did what she did. One minute she was lying there waiting for some serious pain. The next thing she knew she was grinding her hips against his as he teased her with his tongue and lips. What even shocked her more still was the Angel was responding back the same way.

Then he was off her body, and onto Cordelia's. Willow tried not to stare as he paid her friend the same attention he had just shown her. Angel and Cordelia were beautiful to watch. They seemed to fit together perfectly. She started to feel like a peeping Willow and was about to turn her head when she felt herself being pulled closer.

Angel laid half on top of Cordelia and the other half on top off Willow. Switching his attentions back and forth. It wasn't until both girls were withering in pleasure under him that his human mask fell, and it was time to place his mark on them, showing everyone that they were his.

Angelus swirled his tongue over Willow's jugular then bit down, making her buck her hip up into his. He tasted her sweet untainted blood seep over his lips, his taste buds exploding at the rich taste.

Willow felt the pain, and winced. This was supposed to be the milder, less painful way? What a crock, this hurt like hell. Then as fast as the pain came it started to fade and an overwhelming pressure replaced it, bringing her back to the aroused state she had been before, only it just kept building. Bringing her higher until she felt she was going to shatter in a million pieces. She was almost there, she could feel it in her entire being and Angel got off her, licking around the mark for any last drops.

Angel then went to Cordelia, repeating the same attention to her. Willow could see when Cordelia reached the breaking point. Where with just one little push she'd reach that pleasure that was sure to be waiting on the other side, and again Angel pulled away, leaving Cordelia panting and withering underneath his body.

"You two should go take a nap. We're going out tonight." Getting up from the bed both girls watched as Angel walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

The sound of a honking horn brought Willow back to the present. She had been unknowingly tracing around the bit mark on her neck. They were on their way to some Club that Angel said some of the more powerful vampires in LA brought their Pets. On occasion the current Master vampire, Damien would make an appearance. Angel wanted them to be seen, having the demon population know that he was back, and that he had Angel's two little friends as his personal Pets.

"Do you two remember everything?" Angelus put the car in park and turned to the engine off. Turning to the two girls sitting in the front seat with him.

"Angel how many times do we need to go over this?" Cordelia rolled her eyes, missing the way Angel's eyes flashed golden for a moment. "You must be getting off on this."

"Cordelia..." Angelus held his temper back.

"We obey, follow meekly, and don't make eye contact with another vampire unless given permission to do so. Play the whole Betty Rubble role. You caveman, me pathetic girl." Cordelia rolled her eyes, having had Angel repeat to them all day the importance of being on their best possible behavior.

"Willow?" Angelus turned to Willow.

"We don't sit with you unless invited to, standing either behind you, or to your right. Other Pets are beneath us, because we belong to you. We do not speak to another Pet or to another vampire unless you are present." Willow had to look away from the intensity of Angel's stare.

"This isn't a test." Angelus knew that if either messed up he would have to discipline them publicly.

"Angel we got it. We follow you around like perfect little drones. I think that we can manage it." Cordelia was anxious to get out of the car, and put
some distance between herself and the dark vampire. The leather pants and silk shirt was driving her to distraction, plus just the scent of him pushed all her buttons.

Angelus was annoyed that he cared this much what happened to two humans. They were meals, or that was all they were supposed to be. But he was tense that the two impulsive girls would do something that would get them hurt and most likely by his hand.

Once the girls were out of the car Angelus took the lead and walked a few blocks from the car. Willow and Cordelia followed behind blushing at the comments and catcalls they were receiving . Angel had picked out the most obscene outfits for them to wear that night. Matching tight black leather skirts that barely covered their butts, and black leather bras. They had fought his choice for a good thirty minutes, stopping only when he suggested they call the whole thing off.

So now here they were following behind Angel, looking like two pathetic hookers trailing behind their pimp. "Hey honey." A short greasy male reached out and grabbed Cordelia's arm. "I've got fifty bucks, how much will that get me?"

Cordelia wrenched her arm away from the disgusting pig and tried to ignore his words. "Hey bitch! I asked you a question."

Angelus heard the comment and felt the unquenchable need of the male's blood. Trying to get a grip on his anger he lost it when the man called his Cordelia a bitch. "Cordelia...Willow go one more block up and wait for me at the alley on the left." Angelus's tone was dangerously low, leaving no room for argument.

Willow and Cordelia clasped hands and did as they were told, not looking back. "What gives you the right to touch what is mine you dirty pathetic little human?" The man stood his ground, glaring back at Angel.

"The bitch didn't answer me." The words were barely out of the man's mouth before Angelus picked him up by his neck.

"Her name is Cordelia. Why would she speak to something as disgusting as you would? She belongs to me you fool." The smaller man tried kicking out at Angelus as he gasped for breath. Angelus looked in the direction he instructed the two girls to go, making sure that no one or thing was bothering them. The girls had reached the mouth of the alley, and were presently sneaking glances in his direction.

"You're lucky tonight; I'm going to let you live...for now." Dropping the human to the ground, Angelus turned his back on the man and headed toward the girls.

"Screw you man. You should be happy that someone was offering money for that stupid bitch!" The guy spat out getting off the ground rubbing his throat. Angelus whipped around and kicked the man in the face. Satisfied to hear crushing bone. It was truly a waste. All that blood, pooling around the dying human's head on the ground, it would've made a great snack. But with Cordelia and Willow watching from a block away he really couldn't' take the chance and start dinning.

"What a sin to let all that blood go to waste." Turning around Angelus stalked off, not wanting to leave the two girls alone any longer.

When he joined back up with the girls he saw their wary expressions. "Don't worry, he'll be fine. When he wakes up I doubt that he'll ever call another female a bitch again." Taking them by the elbows he led them into the alley and up to a paint chipped green door. Knocking twice the door opened a crack, then was swung wide open.

"Angel." A large blonde vampire snarled. "You know you aren't welcomed here, you have killed too many of our kind."

"Yes well we all have our bad days now don't we?" Shrugging his shoulders without a care in the world, Angelus smirked.

"What is your game?" The bouncer looked past Angelus's shoulder to Willow and Cordelia.

"No game. Just wanted to drop in and say hi to a few old pals. Maybe have a drink; perhaps reminisce about the good old days. Hell who knows, maybe I've come to challenge Damien for the Master gig around here." Angelus slapped the shocked bouncer on the shoulder and proceeded inside.

Willow and Cordelia looked on in shock, neither wanting to follow Angel into the dark hallway beyond the door. Just the smell of death and decay that wafted out from inside the club was enough to stop them in their tracks. Angel didn't even turn around, but snapped his fingers.

"Great now he's treating us like dogs." Cordelia muttered. Willow took a deep breath and took a step forward. The blonde vampire put his arm out stopping them.

"Angel or Angelus, who ever you are today. I'm telling you this. You pull anything in there your Pets will die." Willow cried out as the bouncer grabbed a handful of her hair and yanked her to him.

Angelus felt his borrowed blood run cold for the second time that night. Turning around slowly he locked gazes with the vampire that held his witch.
"Whatever." His tone low and deadly. "I can get more." Turning around again he walked down the hall way at the amazement of the other three.

"I'll be damned; the old bastard is back." The vampire let go of Willow pushing her away from him.

Cordelia put her arm around Willow's shoulder and went in the direction Angel had just disappeared in. "I swear when I get my hands on that jerk I'm going to tear his un-beating heart out of his dead cold chest."

"I don't get it. Why did he do that? I could have been killed." Willow felt tears form in her eyes. Never in her life did she think she'd see a day that Angel wouldn't be there to protect her.

"Is it me, or does it seem that ever since Angel started his little role of Angelus he's been acting a little...off." Cordelia saw light coming from the end of the hall, and was torn. She knew that Angel was on the end of the hallway somewhere, expecting them to come. But then there was the exit just behind them. So far the night hadn't gone very well, and what would Angel really do if they turned around and went back to the hotel without him? After his little performance with not giving a rat's ass about their lives, he deserved to get ditched here.

"You mean off like he's being a little more... pelvic like with us?"

"Uh yeah. He didn't need to get so... frisky when he bit us." Cordelia was aggravated all over again; remembering the way he just left them lying there.

"Yeah that was... different. But he pretty much let that vamp know that we aren't anything to him. What if that jerk decided to test Angel and snap my neck?" A hand shot out of the shadows, wrapping around both their waists and pulling them to the side.

"Are you okay?" Angel's voice was filled with concern as he cupped Willow's chin and tilted her head back.

"No thanks to you, Mr. I Can Get More Pets.." Cordelia snapped, wishing that she could see his face clearly in the dark.

"Do you two really think I'd let something happen to you?" Angelus tried to keep the concerned tone that Angie Boy would use, but found it taxing. What he wanted to do was yell and scream. The bouncer was a pathetic piece of shit. Willow could've easily used her power's to dust the idiot where he stood.

"Angel you did nothing!" Cordelia's cry of displeasure was cut short with Angelus's hand at her mouth.

"Darling I really don't think you want to take that tone with me here inside the club...*Do You*? There are ears everywhere." Shaking her head Angelus relaxed his grip. Stepping back he observed their eyes, seeing their hurt feelings. He didn't have time for their little girl tantrums now, not here where another vampire could come across them.

"Willow come here." Angelus reached out and snuck two fingers into the front of Willow's skirt tugging the redhead to him. "Nothing is going to happen to you, I won't let it." Leaning forward he crushed his lips against her, nipping at her lower lip before drawing away. Looking over at Cordelia he placed his hand behind her head and brought his face level with hers. "Same goes for you Cordy." Paying her lips the same attention he let the girls go and stood up straight. "Ready?"

Both girls touched their lips and nodded dumbly.
