Chapter 4 (High R minor NC17 rating for later part of Chapter 4)

      Later that night Angel finds Chance outside by herself. "Chance what are you doing?"

      "Nothing" she shrugs

      "You shouldn't be out here by yourself." Angel reminds

      "Well I am. I'm fine."

      "Chance"

      "What's the big deal? I'm able to take care of myself"

      "That's not the point" Angel says his voice slightly angry

      "Then what is?"

      "I don't want you hurt. There are demons here who would hurt you... kill you to get to me."

      "Angel I didn't go far." Chance states looking at Angel she sees the emotions conflict in his eyes.

      "I can't lose anyone else" he says his voice sad

      Chance hears that and slips her hand into his squeezing it "You won't" she promises "I'll be careful"

      Angel lifts his hand cupping her cheek

      Chance stares back at him "Angel" she whispers softly

      Angel leans down brushing his lips across hers "Chance?" he looks at her questioningly.

      Chance smiles slightly "What was that for?"

      Angel steps back "Sorry" he says looking at the ground

      Chance rolls her eyes "Don't be" she moves closer "I liked it" she looks at him reaching up she touches his cheek then standing on her tiptoes she kisses him back. As Angel pulls her close she wraps her arms around his neck deepening the kiss.

      Angel breaks the kiss allowing Chance to breath. "I'm sorry for getting upset with you."

      "Its OK. I should have told you I was going outside."

      "I just worry about you" he says hugging her

      Chance buries her head in the crook of his neck "I know" she pulls out of his embrace "This changes things"

      "I know" he runs his fingers through his hair

      "But who says change can't be fun" she grins

      Angel grins back "Sure can"

      "What do you want to do?" she asks

      Angel holds out his hand "Lets go for a walk"

      Chance slips her hand into his "Sounds good"

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Chance and Angel are on his couch making out heavily one night six weeks after their first kiss. Angel breaks the kiss to allow Chance to breathe. "You're going to be late getting home." he reminds

      Chance shrugs "Betty's out of town with brainless again. Besides not like she'd care if I came home late or not. Brainless is the one who notices." she says her voice soft

      "What do you mean he notices?" Angel asks his voice slightly hard

      "Nothing you need to be upset about" Chance soothes

      "Chance" he says warningly

      Chance sighs "Alright. A few times he just happened to come up the stairs as I was walking out of the bathroom in a towel or robe to my room."

      "What else?" Angel prods

      "A couple times he's popped his head into the bathroom giving me a message from Betty when I was in the shower." she shrugs

      "Chance if he ever..."

      "He's an idiot he won't try anything. Not when he knows Betty would dump his sorry ass if he did."

      "If he does"

      "I'll tell you." she promises. She moves onto his lap "So can I crash here tonight?" she asks hopefully

      Angel looks at her and sighs "I hate that look. You know you can crash here anytime you want." he strokes the side of her face with the back of his fingers "I like having you around."

      Chance leans closer her lips inches from his "I like being around" she kisses him.

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Angel frowns hearing Chance's heart rate acclerating. He looks towards the bed to see her tossing and turning in her sleep. Angel closes his book heading into the room. "Chance" he says sitting on the edge of the bed "Chance." he says soothingly lightly shaking her.

      Chance slowly opens her eyes "Angel?"

      "You OK?" he asks concerned

      "Fine" she answers

      "You sure?" at her nod he asks "Want to talk about it?"

      Chance shakes her head

      "Go back to sleep then." he starts to stand

      Chance grabs his hand "Angel?"

      "Yeah?" Angel looks at her concerned

      "Will you stay?"

      Seeing the pleading look he nods "Sure. I'm just going to go turn off the lamp." he walks out of the bedroom he turns off the lamp. Returning to the bedroom he slips under the covers beside Chance.

      "Thanks" she kisses his cheek laying her head on his chest

      Angel puts his arms around her "Your welcome."

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Next morning Chance awakens to Angel twirling a strand of her hair between his fingers. "Hi"

      Angel kisses her "Hi"

      "What are you doing awake?" she asks

      Angel lifts his shoulders "Just am"

      "What time is it?" Chance asks

      "Around ten"

      "Oh man" she groans sitting up

      "What?"

      "I've got to go meet with my probation officer at 1." she explains throwing off the covers she sits on the edge of the bed reaching for her jeans. "He hates it when I'm late." she pulls on her jeans. "I got to get home shower and find something clean to wear." she strips off the T-shirt of Angel's she slept in pulling on her own. She sighs falling back on the bed "I hate going to see him. He's always asking me stupid questions."

      "Like what?" Angel asks propping himself up on his hand

      "What I'm going to do after highschool... which is stupid to ask. I never know what I'm going to do next week so how am I supposed to know what I'm doing in a year?"

      "He just wants you to think about it"

      "With my luck on the day I decide what I'm going to do with my future either I'll be struck by lightning or be told I'll have to redo all of highschool." she groans

      "The chances of being struck by lightning are extreme" Angel smiles

      "Yeah but I tend to be the one with bad luck." she sits up grabbing her bra off the floor she shoves it in her pocket. "Why can't I stay in and sleep" she quickly kisses Angel. "Have fun"

      "You too" Angel smirks

      Chance rolls her eyes "Yeah I will" she says sarcastically "Later" she calls heading out the door

* ~ * ~ * ~

      That evening Angel looks up from his work on the club's books "Hey Chance" he greets

      Chance closes the door behind her and walks over to the desk "Whatcha doing?" she sits on the edge of the desk

      "Just going over the books." he replies "What did you do today?"

      "Saw my Probation officer. Found out I have three months left on my probation"

      "Congratulations"

      "That's if I don't get into any trouble" she shrugs

      Angel grabs her hand pulling her onto his lap "I guess that means I'll have to find a way to keep you out of trouble" he grins running his fingers through her hair.

      "What do you have in mind to keep me occupied?" she asks curiously

      "I'm sure I can come up with something" he says before kissing her bruisingly. He nibbles on her lower lip seeking access to her mouth.

      Chance moans as Angel's tongue sweeps her mouth. She moves closer her body seeking more contact with his. Chance breaks the kiss breathing heavily as she smiles at Angel "I like your idea of keeping me occupied"

      "I need to go patrol." he says reluctantly

      "I wanna come" she says pouting

      "Alright" he agrees

      "Goody" she kisses his cheek standing she pulls him to his feet

      Angel chuckles "Why do you like to go patrolling with me?"

      "Gives me something to do." she shrugs the two head out the back door. "And I like going with you."

* ~ * ~ * ~

      An hour later Angel and Chance are walking when they come across a group of teenagers. "Oh my God" Chance whispers clutching Angel's arm

      "What?"

      "Well well" a voice says mockingly "Look who it is" she says amused

      Chance stares at the girl before her "Street" she says warily

      "Who's this?" Street asks "New mark?" she looks Angel over curiously

      "No."

      "Too bad." Street muses

      "What are you doing here Street?" Chance demands

      "Not much" Street shrugs "though I see you are" she smirks "you always had a thing for older bad boys"

      "Oh really?" Angel says amused

      Chance glares at him then looks at Street "I'd say it was good to see you but it wasn't" she starts to move past the other girl

      "Don't think so" Street grabs her arm "we have a little business to finish."

      Chance looks at Street's hand then hears Angel growl low. "I'm not in the mood" she snaps

      "Since when? You know the rules"

      "I'm out Street. I don't go by the rules."

      "You've wimped out on us." Street says loudly

      "Just walk away Chance" Angel says softly

      "OK fine Street I've wimped out because I don't want to fight to first blood. Which we both know it would be yours. It always was and always will be. I've always been the better fighter."

      "Prove it" Street challenges

      "Sorry I don't fight anymore." she starts to move away when she hears the click of guns. She notices the group has pulled guns pointing them at her and Angel "So this is how you've changed" she shakes her head

      "I'll make you a deal" Street begins "you fight me or we'll see how your lover deals with getting shot."

      Angel growls loudly "Go ahead... shoot me"

      Hearing the angered tone Chance looks up seeing the hardened look that signifies Angelus. "Angelus no"

      "Lets go" Angelus grabs her hand. When he's stopped by Street he growls again this time allowing his demon face to surface "Listen little girl and listen good. You and your friends will leave town and never return or you will meet some very unhappy vampires. I run this area. No one tries to do anything without me knowing."

      Street stares at the man before her "What the hell are you?"

      Angelus rolls his eyes "Vampire." he starts to move again then pauses "Oh yeah you ever go near Chance I will personally hunt you down and rip you apart." he says his voice cold and deadly. He leads Chance away from the group. He stops looking at Chance

      "What?"

      Angelus grabs her kissing her bruisingly his mouth devouring hers. "You are so beautiful" he says awed

      Chance stares at him her heart pounding "Angel?"

      Angelus kisses her then taking her hand he leads her back to the apartment. Once inside the two are in each other's arms as they kiss passionately. "Chance?" he says softly

      Chance recognizes the tone as Angel. She looks at him thoughtfully then kisses him her hands sliding his jacket off his shoulders.

      Angel ends the kiss allowing Chance to breath "Are you sure?"

      "I'm sure" she strokes his cheek "I want to be with you more than I've wanted anything in my life."

      Angel groans pulling her to him he kisses her fiercely as he walks backwards to the bedroom. They stand beside the bed watching each other for a moment before Angel kisses her again. His lips trailing down her neck

      "Angel" she sighs as the vampire kisses and sucks at the pulse of her neck. Her hands go to the front of his silk dress shirt slowly she begins to unbutton it.

      Angel lifts his head looking at Chance his hands going to her waist he slowly pulls her shirt up. "Arms" he growls then pulls her shirt off then shrugs out of his own. The two kick off their shoes and then Angel turns Chance around. He runs his hands down her body as he kisses her neck

      "Angel" she whispers pleadingly as his hands go to the waistband of her jeans. She leans her head back against his arm as he slowly unbuttons her jeans their mouths meeting.

      Angel slides her jeans down her legs then turns her back around to face him. "You are so incredible." he says his voice hoarse with desire

      Chance whimpers "Angel" she looks at him pleadingly

      Angel captures her lips with his own and lowers her onto the bed. Their mouths fused the vampire removes his pants.

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Still joined the two new lovers lay in each others arms. Chance trembles from the passion and intensity of being with Angel. 'I'm in love with him' she finally admits to herself

      Angel lifts his head looking at Chance "You OK?"

      Chance smiles sleepily "Yes"

      Angel rolls to his back pulling Chance close. "Get some sleep" he kisses her head

      She rubs her cheek against his chest sleepily " 'kay"

      Angel holds the sleeping woman in his arms tight. His mind reliving the last time he held a woman he loved in his arms. 'I miss you Beloved but thank you for bringing her into my life.' he presses his lips to her hair. As he drifts off to sleep he hears 'Be happy my Angel.'

* ~ * ~ * ~

      As mid morning approaches Chance rolls over to curl up against Angel. Not feeling him beside her she opens her eyes she sits up looking towards the livingroom she sees Angel sitting in his leather arm chair reading. Rolling her eyes Chance gets out of bed pulling on Angel's discarded dress shirt. As she buttons it she walks out to the livingroom "Do you ever sleep?" she asks amused

      Angel looks up to see his lover walking towards him wearing his silk dress shirt. He smirks "Looks good on you" his eyes looking her over noting his shirt stops midthigh.

      "Its nice and comfy" she shrugs

      Angel sets aside his book "Come on" he holds out his arms

      Chance sits on his lap her head resting on his shoulder "Not much longer until I have to go back to school" she sighs tracing patterns on his chest. "I don't want to go back. I like spending the day with you"

      "I like it too. You can always come over after school, on weekends. Whenever you want."

      Chance smiles "Then again its not for two and a half weeks." she presses her lips against his. "We still have time for fun" as Angel slides his hand up her thigh she moans

      Angel trails his lips down her neck

      "Angel" she whimpers

      Angel stands with Chance in his arms he carries her back to the bedroom.

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Angel looks at the thoughtful young woman in his arms "What are you thinking about?"

      Chance looks at him "I was just wondering how things would have been different if I had any idea that I'd meet you."

      "How so?"

      "Out of all of the guys I've been involved with you're the only I've actually been attracted to" she admits with a shrug

      "You weren't attracted to any of them?" Angel asks amazed

      Chance shakes her head "It used to annoy my friends to no end. I used them because I was bored they used me because they wanted me. It worked out. That was another reason my social worker moved me. She was freaked that I'd end up pregnant."

      "I'm glad she cared enough to move you." Angel says kissing her shoulder "We wouldn't have met."

      Chance looks at him smiling "I'm glad we did"

      "Me too"

Chapter 5

      "Hello?" Chance picks up the kitchen phone shifting the bundle in her arms

      "Hey I miss you" Angel states

      Chance smiles "What are you doing?"

      "Besides missing you?"

      "Yes"

      "Just watching the kids on the floor. What about you?"

      "If you get bored you can come over and help me babysit my neighbors kids." she offers

      "Your babysitting?" Angel asks amused

      "They asked me to watch their four kids during a dinner party at their house. So far the midgets are being good. Though Michael won't let me put him down without crying."

      "Michael?"

      "Jealous?"

      "Depends how old is he?"

      Chance looks at the dozing baby "About two months or so"

      "Do you need help?" Angel asks

      "I could use the company."

      "I'll be over in awhile." he responds

      "Be ready to be bombarded with questions... the youngest girl Tori loves asking questions."

      Angel chuckles "So warned. I'll be over in a few"

      "See you" Chance says hanging up the phone

      "Who were you talking to?" Tori demands

      Chance turns around to find the 3 year old standing in the doorway "A friend." she answers "Now lets go back into the livingroom and watch the movie." she suggests holding out her hand to the little girl.

      Fifteen minutes later Chance hears a knock at the front door. "Rachel keep an eye on everyone for me" she tells the 10 year old. Chance stands and heads to the foyer she opens the front door to find Angel standing there. "Good to see you"

      Angel walks in the door "How's it going?" he asks noticing the kids in the livingroom

      "Fine." she shrugs then sighs hearing a cry

      "Ryan hit me" Tori cries.

      "Ryan don't hit. Mommy said your not supposed to" Rachel snaps at her 7 year old brother

      "She started it" Ryan retorts

      Chance looks at Angel "See what I deal with." she leads him into the livingroom going over she picks up Tori "Tori stop crying we don't want to wake your brother"

      Tori wipes her eyes "Who's that?" she asks pointing at Angel

      "That's Angel" she introduces "Angel this is Tori, Ryan, Rachel, and Michael is over there."

      Tori looks at Angel thoughtfully "I like Anwel" she grins

      Chance grins "I do too."

      "Anwel will you color with me?" Tori asks

      "Sure" Angel smiles at the little girl

      Chance sets the little girl down watching as Tori pulls Angel over to the kitchen table. "Have fun"

* ~ * ~ * ~

      "They sure are active" Angel states quietly as they stand in the kitchen doorway. "You were right about Tori she sure is talkative"

      Chance nods "So's Ryan. Rachel's pretty tame though."

      "I think Ryan has a little crush on you" Angel states

      "Tori has a crush on you" Chance smiles kissing his cheek "How about some tea?"

      "Sure" Angel nods following Chance into the kitchen he sits down "Where's Betty?"

      "Gone for the weekend." she shrugs "She wanted to get one more vacation in before school starts next week."

      "One more week of vacation. It went by fast"

      "Considering we spent the last two weeks in bed yeah." she smiles moving closer she leans her head down pressing her lips against his. "We have a week left to play" she reminds her voice holding a hint of laughter

      "Technically we have this weekend. Betty probably has plans for you"

      "School shopping" Chance shrugs then grins mischeaviously "but I'm sure she'd love to get out of it."

      "Someone's at the front door" Angel says

      Chance sighs "Must be Brett and Mary" she kisses him before heading to the front door opening it she finds the next door neighbors "Hi" she greets moving aside to allow them to enter.

      Upon seeing her kids asleep two on the couch, one on the armchair and the baby in his carseat Mary smiles. "I hope they weren't too bad."

      "Ryan and Tori had a slight problem but they got over it."

      Brett smiles going over he shakes Rachel awake. "Rachel time to go home." he heads to the couch shaking Ryan awake "Ry time to go." he picks up Tori "Thanks for watching them." he says to Chance

      "It wasn't a problem" Chance smiles "They're good kids."

      Mary looks around seeing the toys "I'll send Rachel over tomorrow to pick the toys."

      "I won't be around most of the day. But when I am she can come over anytime" she walks them to the door. Closing the door she leans against it watching as Angel moves towards her.

      "What are you thinking?" Angel asks

      Chance locks the door moving towards him she smiles grabbing his hand she pulls him upstairs to her bedroom.

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Chance rests her chin on Angel's shoulder glancing at the clock she sighs "Its late."

      "Want to stay here?"

      Chance shakes her head "I like staying at your place." she sits up reaching for her shirt she pulls it on. "Where'd my panties land?"

      Angel spies the silk panties on the nightstand "Here" he hands them to Chance "Where are my boxers?"

      Chance pulls on her panties "Uh I think they're by the closet" she stands going over to the closet she finds Angel's boxers "Here" she tosses them to him and then picks up her jeans pulling them on.

~ * ~ * ~ *

      "You know I never would have thought you'd be good with kids" Chance muses "but like always you surprise me. They really liked you."

      "You seem pretty comfortable with kids." Angel remarks softly

      "I've always enjoyed being around little kids. They are so funny and inquisitive." she props her head up on her hand watching Angel "You ever want to have kids?"

      Angel shrugs "When I was alive my parents wanted me to get married and have kids. Now that I can't have 'em I kind of wish I had given into their wishes."

      "I think you'd make a great Dad." Chance says sleepily

      "You'd make a great Mom" Angel states kissing her forehead

      Chance lays her head on his chest "Only if you were the father" she yawns closing her eyes

      Angel freezes at the words "Chance?" he says softly. When he realizes she's asleep he whispers "I'd love to be the father of your children... if it were possible" he presses his lips to her hair "I love you Chance"

      As though she hears him in her sleep Chance mumbles softly "I love you Angel" she rubs her cheek against his chest

Chapter 6 (High R low NC17 Rating)

      Angel hears the front door open "How was the first day of school?" he calls turning the page of his book

      Chance enters the apartment dropping her backpack on the couch "Long" she replies kicking off her shoes. "I wish I didn't have to go back" she complains entering the bedroom she finds Angel in bed reading. She removes her jeans "I wish I could stay here" she pulls back the covers placing her knees on either side of his hips. "with you" she takes the book out of his hands tossing it on the floor.

      "Oh really?" Angel smiles running his hands up her sides

      "I have more fun being with you." she leans down kissing him she rests her head on his shoulder "I don't want to go back" she says almost desperately

      "You have to finish school." Angel strokes her back "Its important"

      "I don't like it."

      "Like what?"

      "How it feels when we're apart."

      "You feel like you're missing something."

      Chance nods "Its like I'm trapped." she looks at him "I don't like it"

      "Me neither." he strokes her cheek with his fingertips "Chance?"

      "Yes?"

      'I'm in love with you.' he thinks "I uh wanted to talk to you about something." he says

      Hearing the tone Chance moves off him "About what?"

      "Are you still having those dreams?"

      She shrugs "Only when we're apart."

      "What are they about?"

      "I don't know. All I remember is feelings."

      "What kind?" Angel prods

      "All kinds. Its hard to explain"

      "Try"

      "What's the big deal? They're dreams Angel that's it" she sits up "That's all they are" she whispers wrapping her arms around her knees

      "Chance they aren't dreams" Angel says

      "What else would they be?"

      "Memories of someone else" he says softly

      Chance looks at him over her shoulder "What do you mean?" she demands "How the hell would I be dreaming someone elses memories?"

      "Chance I used to have these dreams... about Buffy."

      "Yeah so" she shrugs

      "Chance just listen" he demands

      "I'm listening" she turns around to face him "talk"

      "When we first met do you remember what I said?"

      Chance shrugs "Something about me feeling it to"

      "What did you feel when we first saw each other?"

      "I don't know... it was like part of me knew you."

      Angel nods "Its because part of you does." he says seeing her disbelief he continues "Chance the feelings you dream aren't yours... they belong to someone else."

      "How is that possible?"

      Angel runs his fingers through his hair "I don't exactly know. All I do know is that the higher ups wanted to save you."

      "Why?"

      "Buffy told me that when you were brought to the hospital your soul was weak. They needed to strengthen your soul to give you the will to live. They needed a soul."

      "I don't understand" she says

      "Chance the dream feelings you have are... Buffy's." he pauses "The soul they used was Buffy's."

      Chance stares at him knowing he's telling the truth. "How long have you known?"

      Angel looks away "Since your birthday." he admits

      "Why didn't you tell me?" she demands

      "Because..." he pauses "I don't know."

      "Why did we get involved then Angel?" she demands getting off the bed she pulls on her jeans "Because I share past feelings of Buffy's?" she walks out of the bedroom going to the livingroom

      "That's not the reason Chance" Angel argues following her to the livingroom

      Chance glares at him "Then what is it Angel? Is it because I happen to share your ex-lover's soul?"

      "No" he denies

      "Is it because you thought that by fucking me you'd be closer to her?"

      "Its not the reason Chance. When we first met I was drawn to the familiar feelings you brought out in me. Feelings that I hadn't felt since Buffy died. But when we started to get to know each other I still felt those feelings but they were shoved away by what I felt for you."

      "But you still feel part of her in me" she challenges

      Angel shakes his head "I feel what I feel for you... not her" he pauses "I loved Buffy I always will."

      "And so you get another chance to have her alive.... in me"

      "No Chance that was never the reason behind me wanting to be with you." Angel denies

      "Fine then why the hell are we lovers Angel?" she demands her voice rising "The others I at least knew why they wanted me... lust. Why the hell are we lovers is it lust Angel? Or the need to be near something connected to her?"

      "I'm in love with you" he yells

      Chance stares at him "What?"

      "I love you" he repeats "that's why"

      Chance turns away blinking back tears as she grabs her backpack "I gotta get out of here" she mutters opening the door she walks out into the sunny afternoon

      "I love you Chance" he whispers

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Chance lays in her bed holding her stuffed monkey tight as his words echo through her mind. Chance closes her eyes tears starting to fall again as she hears the rain fall outside. She goes over to the window seat she stares out at the rain "Oh God Angel" she sobs her whole being screaming for him. "Angel" she cries

      "Chance?" Betty calls knocking she enters to find her foster daughter sobbing "Chance honey what's wrong?"

      Chance shakes her head standing she pulls on her shoes "I have to go"

      "Go where?"

      "See someone." she runs out of the room and down the stairs. She slams out the front door into the pouring rain. She runs as fast as she can towards Angel's. As she nears his apartment she sees him opening the door walking out in the rain. Chance stops staring at Angel through the rain "You meant it didn't you" she calls

      Angel moves closer stopping infront of her he reaches out touching her face "Yes" he nods "I meant it. I love you Chance."

      Chance nuzzles his hand with her cheek staring at him through the rain "I love you" she finally admits her voice soft. She throws herself in his arms her arms hugging his neck.

      Hearing her admit it Angel hugs her tight. "Lets get inside and get you warm and dry."

      Chance nods releasing him she slips her hand into his following him into the apartment. She looks up at Angel her head tilted thoughtfully

      "What?" Angel asks curiously

      "Who would have thought I'd ever love anyone." she smiles then moves closer looking up at him she kisses him lightly. The two stare at each other then suddenly they are in each others arms kissing furiously. Hands clutching at clothes and hair needing to be closer. Chance shudders as Angel's lips trail down her neck.

      Feeling her shiver Angel pulls back looking at his soaked girlfriend "Come on lets go get dry"

      "I wanna play" she whines

      Angel chuckles "We'll play later baby. I don't want you to get sick now come on" he guides her into the bedroom "Get out of those wet clothes I'll go get you a towel." he kisses her before heading into the bathroom

      Chance toes off her shoes and pulls off her socks. As Angel returns she strips off her shirt, jeans and panties wrapping the big towel around herself. She sits on the bed taking a smaller towel she begins to dry her hair. She feels the bed shift as Angel sits behind her

      "Here" he takes the towel from her and finishes drying her hair. "You still mad?" he asks softly

      Chance lifts her shoulders looking back at Angel. "Not really" she turns around scooting onto his lap. "I can't stay mad at you."

      Angel smooths her hair out of her face tucking it behind her ear.

      Chance stares at him worrying her lip between her teeth.

      Seeing that action Angel growls capturing Chance's lips in a demanding kiss. "Chance" he says softly after ending the kiss to allow her to breath

      Chance caresses his cheek "Please Angel" she begs

      "Please what?" he demands his voice gentle

      She lightly brushes her lips across his and says her voice slightly shy "Make love to me"

      Angel kisses her in response pulling her back on the bed. "I will"

      Chance sighs in pleasure as his tongue caresses hers. She clutches his shoulders needing him closer. As Angel nuzzles her neck she sighs "Angel"

      Angel removes her towel rolling Chance on her back. His hands moving down her body. "Beautiful" he says awed

      "Angel please" she begs her hands going to his towel she looks at him her eyes wide showing her need as she digs her fingernails in his shoulders "I need you" she pleads

      "Soon" he promises licking and sucking at her neck

      Chance whimpers rubbing her body against his. "So good"

      Angel trails his lips down to her breasts. He suckles at her breasts

      Chance holds his head against her breasts sighing in pleasure. "Oh god Angel." she whimpers arching into his touch

      Angel moves down her body kissing and tasting her skin. He stops at her belly button pressing a light kiss to her skin. He moves between her legs pressing a kiss to her inner thigh. He looks up at her meeting her lust filled gaze he lowers his head.

      As she feels his mouth touch her she gasps arching her back as she moves her hips. "Angel" she whimpers her body straining with need

      Feeling her need Angel looks at her "What my love?"

      "Please" she begs her voice breaking

      "Please what?"

      Chance stares at him her frustration showing "Make me cum" as Angel lowers his head she feels his tongue and teeth scrape her clit. "ANGEL" she screams as she shatters

      Angel moves up her body capturing her lips in a passionate kiss

      Chance sighs and then groans as she feels him slam into her still throbbing body. "Angel" she groans clutching him to her her legs wrapped around his hips. They stare at each other as they move together.

      "Chance there's something I want to share with you" he says softly "Do you trust me?"

      Chance nods "More than anyone in my life" she watches unafraid as his demon face surfaces "I love you Angel"

      "This'll hurt for a second." he says

      "I trust you"

      Angel lowers his head to kiss her neck then slowly, tenderly he pierces her neck with his elongated fangs. He growls at the taste of her blood.

      "Angel" she gasps then her body explodes

      Angel feels her release and then in response his own release hits. He retracts his fangs shouting "CHANCE"

      As he shouts her name Chance's body shudders and her fingernails dig into his shoulders drawing blood. "Angel" she whimpers

      Angel collapses atop her his head resting on her shoulder as he nurses his mark. The world fades away as he tastes his lover's blood.

      Chance runs her fingers through his hair and down his neck startled as she hears him purr. "I love you" she whispers pressing her lips to his hair

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Angel lifts his head looking at Chance he smiles slightly at the dazed expression. "You OK?" he asks softly as he touches the wound on her neck.

      Chance nods "I'm fine."

      Angel kisses her tenderly then rolls to his back pulling Chance against him. "I love you" he kisses her head

      Chance looks at him smiling "I love you too" she rests her head on his chest "Why hadn't you ever done that before?"

      Angel lifts his shoulders "I don't know. I didn't know if you trusted me enough."

      "Angel I've trusted you since we first met."

      "I know but I knew it would change things after tasting your blood."

      "But it hasn't"

      "It has" Angel insists taking her hand he presses it over his normally unbeating heart. "Blood makes it beat for a while."

      Chance smiles pressing her ear to his heart "I like it."

      "Things have changed Chance"

      "How so?" she looks at him quizzically

      "Not only my heart beating because of your blood but other things." he lifts his hand touching the slightly bleeding holes "Like this."

      Chance frowns "Why?"

      "When vampire takes blood from someone not killing them it usually is a mark that warns other vampires." he touches the mark "It means you belong to me. To the others it means you're my mate and they are to stay away."

      Chance looks at him pondering his words "Your mate?" she questions

      Angel nods, he watches her trying to gauge her feelings on the topic

      After a moment she smiles "I like the sound of that" she kisses him passionately then rests her ear over his still slightly beating heart.

      Angel strokes her back "Chance being my mate means more than hands off to other vampires and some demons."

      "What else does it mean?" she asks propping her chin on her arm as she looks at him.

      Angel trails his fingers down her cheek and jaw "It means that we are connected. Not only you and I but you and Angelus as well."

      "Connected how?"

      "The connection is like a link. When you're hurt, scared, happy or confused I'll know. It goes the same way from me to you but not as strong."

      "Why not as strong?"

      "I'm not sure. It might be because you're fully human. Do you understand what I'm telling you?"

      Chance nods

      "You OK with this?"

      "Oh yeah." she kisses his chin "After all I'm in love with you" she reminds snuggling close.

      Angel chuckles "And I you" he kisses her head "Get some sleep my love you have school in the morning." he pulls the covers up

      "Oh fine" she grumbles

      Angel shakes his head "I'll wake you"

      " 'kay" she closes her eyes safe and secure in her lover's arms "Night" she yawns

      "Night"

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Angel glances at the clock seeing its 6:30 he rubs Chance's back "Chance honey its time to get up."

      "No" she grumbles snuggling closer

      "I know you don't want to but its only the second day of school." he reminds tugging on a strand of her hair.

      "What time is it?"

      "Six thirty" he answers

      Chance looks up at him with a sly grin as she runs her fingers down his chest "We have time to play" she suggests "I don't have to be there until eight."

      "Chance I don't want you to be late to school"

      "I won't" she replies laying atop him "Please?" she asks with a pout rubbing her body against his "I know you want to." she licks his neck

      Angel growls "Babe you are impossible to say no to"

      Chance sits up "So we can play?" she asks hopefully rubbing herself against his hardness

      Angel groans "We can play for a bit" he agrees

      Chance guides his hard manhood into her hot, wet body. "Angel" she sighs feeling him slid into her. She meets his lustfilled brown eyes and shivers at the intense look of love in his eyes.

      Angel grasps her hips with his hands as his eyes are locked on hers. "Feel so good" he says through gritted teeth

      Chance begins to move slow with her eyes locked on his. She rests her hands on his chest "Mmm" she sighs

      Feeling her tighten around him Angel tries to get her to move faster. When she glares at him he stops and just watches her move above him. "Chance" he growls when she stops moving

      Chance leans forward her lips mere centimeters from his as she says her voice soft "Fuck me Angel" she demands sucking his lower lip "I want you to make me cum so bad." she searches his eyes seeing the lust "make me cum harder than ever before"

      Hearing that Angel growls rolling on her back "I will" he promises grasping her hips. He moves faster and harder yet not at full strength.

      Chance whimpers at the force of his thrusts gasping as he hits her clit. "Angel" she groans

      "You going to cum lover?" Angel demands his eyes flashing

      "With you" she gasps arching her back "only with you"

      Angel growls feeling her release and his own approach "Chance" he says his voice gruff. He captures her lips muffling her shriek and his own deep, rumbling growl. He feels her walls contract around him and groans

      As Angel covers her mouth with his own to swallow their own sounds of intense pleasure Chance feels her body erupt at the same time she feels Angel's coldness rush through her body. She clutches him dazed by the intense feelings their fierce coupling brought. "Angel" she sighs

      Angel collapses atop Chance after a moment he rolls off her. He props his head up with his hand and smirks "So?"

      Chance looks at him "Mmm" she sighs stretching "that was fun." she smiles at him "We'll have to do that again after school"

      Angel glances at the clock "You're going to be late lover"

      Chance shrugs "Oh well I had a good reason for being late" she gets off the bed going to the dresser she opens her drawer finding a bra and panties she heads towards the bathroom

      "I don't think they'll be to happy if you tell 'em you were late because you were fucking your lover."

      Chance looks at him over her shoulder "I'll make up a good excuse" she enters the bathroom

      Angel listens as she turns on the shower. He lays there thinking about the previous nights revelations. As the shower turns off he stands going to the bathroom he leans against the door frame watching Chance dry off. "What about the marks? People will ask questions"

      Chance pulls on her underwear then touches the marks signifying she's Angel's mate. "Make up" she shrugs walking into the bedroom she goes to the closet "they'll just think its a hickey" she shrugs pulling out a pair of ratty blue jeans seeing a dress shirt of Angel's she takes it out "Can I borrow this?" she asks

      "Go ahead. You know I like it when you borrow my clothes" he puts his arms around her waist kissing his mark "they come back smelling like you" he purrs hugging her

      Chance turns around her arms around his neck "I like borrowing your clothes. Their comfy" she kisses his cheek pulling out of his embrace she goes to the dresser taking out a T-shirt.

      Angel gets back in bed watching as his mate dresses for the day. 'Mine' he thinks possessively.

      Chance looks at him and smiles at the look on his face. "Being Mr Macho again?"

      Angel glares at her "No just thinking of what I'd do to those guys at your school if they touched what's mine" he says with slight anger flashing in his brown eyes

      Chance rolls her eyes "The guys at school don't notice I'm alive"

      "How can that be?" Angel says shocked

      Chance shrugs glancing at the clock "Shit. I'm gonna be late" she kisses Angel quickly "See you later" she smiles heading out of the bedroom

      "Have fun"

      "Yeah right" she replies

      "Hey Chance" he calls

      "Yeah?"

      "I love you"

      Chance smiles to herself "Love you too. Have fun sleeping. See you after school" she calls heading out of the apartment.

      Angel shakes his head in amusement "She's going to kill me"

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Chance reaches her first class seconds before the bell rings. She sighs 'I miss him' she stares at the teacher barely listening as he talks.

      "Miss Greyson are you listening?" the teacher demands

      Hearing that Chance looks at her teacher "Yes Mr Foster" she lies trying to pay attention to his lecture on the Boston Tea Party. 'Wonder what Angel was doing then?'

* ~ * ~ * ~

      Forty five minutes later Chance walks out of the classroom. Going to her locker she takes out her health book. She notices her friend Eve walking towards her. "Hey Eve" she greets

      "Chance how's it going?" Eve asks leaning up against the locker "How's the mystery man?" she asks curiously

      'Maybe I should just tell her. Its not like I'm ashamed... I just don't want anyone to know about me and Angel being lovers. Friends is one thing they can understand not lovers.' she mentally shakes off her thoughts "Doing good" she replies

      "When am I going to meet this guy?" Eve asks "You've been keeping him tightly under wraps. How's Angel doing with the new guy?"

      'He is the new guy' she thinks happily "He's cool with it" she shrugs "I gotta go. Health class" she shuts the locker walking towards her next class. She enters seconds before the teacher. Sitting down she opens her notebook and takes out a pen,

      'Sept. 15, 2020~ Last night I finally told him how I feel. Like always we ended up in bed... but this time it was different. We made love not just as lovers but as two people who are in love.'

      "All right class today is the beginning of sexual education." the teacher announces

      Chance smiles faintly 'Mmm a topic I can stand'

      "We had that do we have too again?" a boy demands

      "Yes Michael. Learning about sex and reproduction is very important to the process of being adults." Ms Hansen states looking at the students

      'And fun' Chance purrs silently 'though not as fun as with Angel' she shifts in her seat her body throbbing with the thought of being with her lover. She picks up her pen and returns to writing.

      'It was more intense this time. He made me feel things I've never felt... not just with sex but with everything else. He did something different... he used his fangs. Not like when he sinks his fangs in my breast this time it was my neck. God it felt so good. He said that by doing that he marked me as his mate. He said that being his mate means that I'm protected from other vampires and demons.'

      "All right open your books to page 324."

      Chance opens her book to the page. For a few moments she listens to the teacher. Needing to write out her feelings she picks up her pen

      'His mate... I like that idea. Being his. He loves me. I love him. Yet I still have nagging doubts that he loves me because of her. Yet somehow I know that that's not the reason. He's the only person that I've ever loved and trusted. I just hope nothing happens. But with my luck something will'

* ~ * ~ * ~

      At lunch time she sighs her heart tugging with need for Angel's arms around her. Knowing that's not possible she heads to the phone 'His voice will be enough.' she dials the familiar number 'Though it will make me so incredibly horny.'

      "What?!" Angel growls sleepily into the phone

      Chance smiles "Now you know how I feel when I have to get up for school"

      Angel sighs "Hey baby. Something wrong?"

      Chance groans "Besides wanting you? Nothing"

      "Oh really?"

      "Yes" she sighs in annoyance "bad too"

      "How bad?" he purrs

      Chance looks around finding no one around she answers her voice soft, "I'm so wet."

      "How?"

      "I'm dripping" she answers biting back a moan. Her breath catching

      Angel smiles at the sound "Your turned on aren't you?"

      "Uh huh" she nods her body throbbing "big time. God" she groans "If I was my old self I'd just go jump one of the football players." When she hears the low growl on the other end "I won't." she promises

      "I know" Angel replies "Its not much longer until school's over and you can come back."

      "I know" she says "can't wait."

      Angel smiles "Don't you have class now?" he asks

      "Lunchtime" she replies

      "Have you had lunch?" he questions "I know you didn't have breakfast"

      "I'll grab something" she promises

      "Just don't forget"

      "I won't." she smiles touched by his concern "I better go." she says reluctantly "Even though I don't want too." she sighs

      "See you in a few hours" Angel says

      "Bye"

      "Bye" Angel says setting the phone down.

      Chance hangs up the phone leaning against the wall 'I love the sound of his voice.' she pushes away from the wall heading into the cafeteria.

~ * ~ * ~ *

      Chance grins as the final bell rings. "I am so outta here" she says happily. 'Get to go see Angel' she sighs slamming her locker shut she walks out of the school heading towards the apartment.

~ * ~ * ~ *

      The sleeping vampire senses his lover enter the apartment. A moment later he feels the bed shift and Chance's warm body curling against his. "How was school?" he asks sleepily

      "Talk school later. Sleep now" she snuggles close

      Angel smiles kissing her head "Sure baby"

      Chance presses her lips to his chest "Missed you"

      "Missed you too"

~ * ~ * ~ *

      That night Angel stands on the balcony looking down at Chance as she chats with her friends. 'She's beautiful and all mine'

      "Angelus" Spike greets joining his grandsire on the balcony. He looks down at the floor "Ahh lovely Chance." hearing Angel's growl Spike holds up his hands "Hey just stating the obvious." he sees the look on Angel's face a calm yet possessive look. He grins "You finally made her your mate. 'bout time." he leans his forearms against the railings he looks down "She's a good choice Angelus."

      Angel nods looking down at Chance "I know." he frowns smelling someone with intense anger close. He growls low sensing the threat to his mate's safety.

      Sensing his grandsire's worry Spike goes on alert "What is it?"

      Angel shakes his head then sees someone approach Chance "Street" he mutters heading to the stairs

      "Street?" Spike says to himself following his grandsire

      Chance senses someone behind her. Turning she finds Street watching her "What are you doing here?" she demands her eyes narrowing

      "Free country" Street smirks

      "I told you to leave" Angel says his voice cold as he stands beside Chance protectively.

      "Chance knows the only way I'll leave. Its part of our code. Isn't it Chance?"

      Chance winces at the look "I don't care about the code Street. Its the past."

      "Like you once told me... the past haunts."

      "It may haunt you but it doesn't me." she turns about to walk away when Street speaks

      "Because of you he's dead." she snaps

      "He's dead because he didn't listen to me"

      "You left... disappeared on him."

      Chance turns around moving towards Street "Don't blame me because your brother didn't know when enough was enough."

      "You always were a bitch" Street snaps

      Angel growls low

      Chance looks at him shaking her head then turns back to Street. "And you were always a self absorbed, greedy brat. That's why he died."

      Street backhands Chance "He died because of you."

      Chance lifts her brow staring at the younger girl. "Nice. You've improved." she looks at Angel assuring him she's OK. "Just because you've improved doesn't mean your better than me."

      "I am better than you" Street states

      "Never have been. Never will be." she snaps "All you are is a little girl who can't deal with the fact that big brother isn't there to do everything for you. You have to be held accountable for your own actions."

      Angel watches as his lover walks through the crowd to the stairs leading to his office. He moves over to Street "If I were you I'd leave town. If I ever see you near her I won't be so nice" he follows Chance upstairs.

      Spike shakes his head "Listen to him kid. You mess with him you get more trouble then you ever want to have." he turns walking away

      Street walks away in a huff

      The people in the club pay no attention to what had just occured.

      Angel enters his office to find Chance sitting in his office chair. He pulls the door closed locking it he closes the shades. "What's wrong?" he asks moving over to the chair he pulls Chance up. Sitting down he pulls her onto his lap.

      "Nothing" she shrugs laying her head on his shoulder.

      "You sure?" he asks

      "Mmm" she nods

      "Will you tell me if somethings wrong?"

      She shrugs in response "I guess"
