Chapter 1

“I don’t have time for your games Darla – I need to speak to the real you.”  Angel inhales an unneeded breath and his face morphs to his demon form.  He quickly moves with his vampire speed and forces Darla against a beam.  The force of that should have frightened her however she didn’t seem to care.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve said this to anyone but, you can scream as loud as you want to.” Angel says opening his mouth showing her his fangs, he uses her hair to pull her to the side, her neck barred to him.  He leans down and scrapes his fangs intentionally over her collarbone drawing blood.

“I’m not going to scream.” Darla moans as Angel sinks his teeth into her neck.

Angel growls inside, his sires blood, such a sweet taste.  Angels mind begins to twitch, he could make her his childe now.  He could kill her with a nice long drink.  It might not be the way to his humanity.  She couldn’t betray him as his childe.  As he licked the wounds on her neck he pushed her away.  “Enough.” He backed away into another beam in the room.

Darla smiles victoriously, “There’s my boy, I’ve seen enough and that isn’t the sign for it Angelus.”

Angel pushes her away and shakes the demon face off.  “What’s the play Darla?  What’s your plan?”

“Where? Where’s my boy?” Darla asks shocked that he’s back as Angel.

”You think that was bliss?  Darla, you took me places, showed me things” Angel smirks he’s going to love saying this to her. “You blew the top off my head, but you never made me happy.”

With that Darla’s fists start flying, she’s hitting him because of his insult.  Not remembering she doesn’t have her vampire strength, she’s no match for Angel as a human.  He holds both of her hands above her head against another pillar.

“We were together for 150yrs.”  Darla stammers.

”Only because I was your childe.”  Angel makes sure to emphasize the word was.

“I am your sire!” Darla stammers.  “Bow to me boy.”
 
Angel laughs.  “You’re not my sire – you’re a human.  How would you like to be my childe though babe?  I remember you’re pretty good in bed.”

”What?” Darla couldn’t believe what she was hearing.  Could he turn her?  Could he now be her sire?

“OH the fear – I love that smell.”  He morphs back into his game face.  “What do you think Darla?  Why don’t I drain you and we’ll talk.”   Angel bites into her neck and begins to drink.  As he’s slowly taking her life he doesn’t feel the fight for his soul, he doesn’t feel Angelus trying to get out, all he feels is the glory of Darla’s blood.  And then he feels disgust,  what would Cordelia think?  He can’t kill – not even her.  Slowly he backs away licking the wounds, leaving Darla incredibly weak.  “You will live – for now, I already have a childe that actually respects me – besides he’s much more daring in bed – you were always to closed minded.”  Angel lets her drop to the floor.  “Don’t mess with me Darla – I’ve gained a lot of strength in the last three years.    Strength emotionally – you can’t have me back as your puppet Darla – but I will destroy you again if I have to.  Tell your bosses to beware, I will turn you and curse you with a soul before I’ll let you hurt anyone I love.”

“Angel I remember everything we were, everything we did, I know everything we can do.” Darla whispers to him.

”Yeah,” He smiles, “But the bitch is – you have a soul now, and worse – you’re human.  Good bye Darla.”

Angel slowly walks out of the underground water tanks.  He gets into his car about 45 min. before sunset and drives straight to his mates house.

Silently he laughs at the fact he still refers to the place as her house – when it fact it was theirs, they lived together since becoming forever mates six months ago.  In fact – before he ran into Darla tonight he was imprinting Lia’s name on his skin forever, now might not be the best time to show her however.  She might be incredibly mad at him.

Before Angel walks into his and Cordelia’s home, the powers that be orb him to there alter.

“We know of your encounter this evening with  your sire.”  The female oracle states.

“I didn’t mean to do that.” Angel stammers hoping they don’t take his soul back.

“Don’t worry about your soul we told you its permanent.” The male oracle tells him.

“But I wanted to turn her, and dominate and punish her – those are not the thoughts of a man in remorse for his earlier actions.”

“Something that you do not seem to know about humans.  They participate in the activities you fancy as well – we believe it is refereed as sado masochism. A widely practiced expression of the need to torture and torment, you will not be punished from the powers for gaining your revenge on your sire.  Do with her what you will – only if it is allowed by your mate.  Be gone.”  The female oracle smiles and he finds himself outside his home with his “wife.”  He and Cordelia have started to refer to one another as husband and wife because in all senses they are.  As much as they ever could be that is.  Angel then remembers that- I promised Cordelia they would have rings.  He forgot them.    Ok well it was only 7pm – the jewelry stores were open until what midnight?  It was close to that holiday – damn which one was it -  oh yeah right. Valentines Day.  Ok they could go buy them tonight.  Maybe that would get him out of the dog house he was about to put himself in.
Angel walked in the front door.  “Lia – I’m home.”
“Hey baby.”  Lia walks up to Angel and gives him a kiss.  “OK what happened?”
“What do you mean?”
“OK Angel, that’s an insult.  I may not have vampire senses but I smell perfume.  And that cheap sent is NOT mine.  So I ask again trying to remain very calm and not backhand you for lying to me.  What happened?”
“I kind of ran into Darla – and”
“And what aren’t you telling me?” Lia sits down on the couch and Angel sits next to her.
“I fed from her.”
“How?  Spike can’t drink from you without your permission how did you drink from Darla?”
“She’s not a vampire, she’s human.  Lia – I almost turned her tonight.”
 

Chapter 2
 

”Did you?”  Cordelia asks him about turning Darla.
“No.  The oracles told me that it would be ok only if you ok’d it.”
“NO.”  Cordelia states quickly.
“NO?” Angel asks.  Not understanding why she is saying no.
“NO I do not give you permission to turn her.  I will not have you sucking on another woman’s neck, that’s mine. I don’t want you anywhere around her. You’re mine and that psychotic bitch had you for 150 yrs, you’re mine now.”  Cordelia states.  “Spike I understand kind of.  He gives you something I can’t, the violence and the maleness, but you wanting another woman – that hurts.”
“Honey. If I go to her, if I turn her she’s mine, I’m not hers.”
“Don’t honey me Angel.  I’m your forever mate – I’m your wife.  I should have some say so in this and she had you for 150 yrs, if that evil vampire is back I don’t want you reliving the past with her.”
“Lia – I understand your point but she’s not a vampire now.  Wolfman & Hart brought her back as a human.  Well I can’t kill a human – even if it is Darla so I figured if I”
“Angel – no.” Cordelia almost begs him at the same time demanding that her orders be followed.
“Ok master I will obey.” Angel recites sarcastically.
“Angel I’m not trying to give you orders it’s just…difficult for me to explain.”
“When you figure out how to explain it please let me know because right now I’m more than a little annoyed at the whole situation.”
Angel knows as much as he’s pissed off at Lia for her actions right now, he knows he can’t turn Darla without her permission or he will lose his soul again.  The powers that be made that very clear.  He’s stuck, he can’t get his revenge, and he can’t get her to understand his need for it.
“sarcastic much?” Lia asks.
“Lia – I love you but right now I’m feeling like you’re my sire instead of my wife because I never thought my wife would be giving me orders.  But I’m not going to fight you on this.  The powers that be made it very clear, if I don’t have your permission to do this and I go ahead I’ll lose my soul and I’m not willing to do that so I will obey.  However I hope you realize the type of message this is sending to me about our future.”

After about 30 minutes of walking around the apartment without speaking to one another, Angel informs her, “I forgot the wedding rings.”
“Why don’t you have the rings?”
“Because I was a little busy saving the world from evil.” He says sarcastically.
“Did you forget them on purpose?” Lia asks him.
“Why are you doubting me?” Angel asks hurt.  “Are you scared?  Are you scared of losing me?”  He asks much softer realizing that she very well may be feeling threatened by Darla.
“Duh – we’re forever mates.”  Bitchy Cordy comes out to play.
“Duh – I doubt very highly that you actually know what that means.”
“Forever – not difficult Angel.”  She spouts off.
“Yeah well babe, forever to a human and forever to a vampire mean two totally different things.  In a human – forever is until I hate you.  In a vampire – forever means until death.  Lia – as much as you have been pissing me off since I walked in the door – I would love to just walk out – but because I am your forever mate, I can’t.  I can’t even walk out to get some air if we are fighting, the bond is too strong and too strict.  No walking away. There’s something you don’t understand about this bond sweetheart.  I don’t have a choice anymore.  When I made love to you and I drank from you.  I made my choice. Its forever, I don’t give up on that. You’re immortal.  You live as long as I do.  There is no getting out of the vow we made Lia.  There’s no I hate you – leave.  All we have is each other and we have that forever.  When I call you my wife, I go back to what marriage used to mean – in a vampires world we mean it.  There’s only 3 ways to kill me, decapitation, sunlight or a stake through the heart.  I’m yours Lia – forever, and the reverse is true as well.  You’re mine – forever baby.  That’s it, we’re without end, and you have nothing to fear.”
“Well you walk into the house and say that you want to go back to your ex- how should I feel?”
“Wait a minute.  Lia what are you saying?  At no time did I say anything about getting back together with Buffy.”
“I was referring to Darla.”
“Ok Lia – you aren’t understanding something.  Darla was never my choice.  Darla was my sire.  What you have to realize is that I was with Darla for 150 yrs but she tormented and tortured me for the time I was with her.  I never fell in love with her and stayed with her by choice.  I stayed with her out of obligation because she sired me.”
“But”
“No buts Lia.  I don’t love her and I don’t want her – I want revenge.  I want to make her pay for the pain she caused me and for the torture she inflicted on me.  Lia – Darla made me kill my family right after she turned me.  As much as I hated my father I didn’t ever see myself killing him until she told me to do it and I did.  I fed on all of my siblings.  I killed my mother.  I don’t want anything to do with her.  I want you Cordelia.”
“Say it again.”
“I want you Cordelia.  I want you to be my willing partner forever.  I no longer want my days and nights to be filled with remorse and the thoughts of revenge.  I want the feelings I’ve had for the past 6 months.  The tenderness you give me, the sunshine you bring into my life.  I love you Lia, and as much as I want revenge on Darla – if wanting that is going to come between you and I, I don’t want it.  Plain and simple, you mean more.”
“Angel, you’re such a Casanova.  I love you.”  Lia smiles.
“Lets go get the rings.” Angel smiles to her.  Lia smirks and grabs his hand, pulling him out to his car.  Angel stops her as they get to the car and pulls her into his arms.  He deeply kisses her, making her toes tingle.
“What was that for?”
“Because I love you and right now I would rather make love to you right here than go and do anything.  However, I also want to show the world that you are mine.”
“Angel, I heard a rumor.” Lia smiles as he opens the door to the car for her.
“What honey?”  Angel answers.
“I heard that the older you get the more sunlight you can take, is that true?”
“Yes, its true baby but I’ll never be able to walk around at high noon.”
“What about that ring you had a year ago, that one that Spike tortured you over?”
”That was actually the first time I had been direct sunlight in over 200 years.  But I smashed the ring.”
“Is there another one?”
“I’m sure there is another somewhere in this world.  As Willow grows stronger in her Wicca she may be able to curse a ring with that power.”
“What was that ring called?”
”It’s a Jem of Amarra.  Why?”
“Oh I don’t know – just wanted to go out to lunch with you someday.”
“Lia” Angel says softly.
“I’m sorry Angel – I didn’t mean to give you a guilt trip.  I’m sorry let’s go love.”  Lia says and gets into the car.

Angel and Cordelia walk up to Angel’s apartment and Cordelia asks him without words.
‘Are Spike and Willow still here?’
‘Yes they are’
‘You going to kiss Spike?’
‘You want me to?’
‘Yes.’
‘Ok I’ll have to sound like an ass’
‘that’s ok- I know the truth.’
Angel walks into the apartment, “Spike.” Angel says quietly.  His voice falling on deaf ears as Spike and Willow are making out quite heavily on the couch.
‘Oh he listened.’ Lia laughs.
‘That’s because he’s got a hard-on from Willow.  I’ll get his attention.’
“Spike” Angel demands. Using a voice his childe is very familiar with, a voice that means he’s in trouble.
Spike jumps off the bed and runs to Angel. “Yes Sire.”
“That was not a proper greeting Spike.”
“I’m sorry Sire.” Spike apologizes and then kisses his sire.  The kiss is not one of innocence or submission but of arousal.
‘Lia – Spike wants to fuck me.’
“No Spike.” Lia orders,  just as Spikes hand comes around to caress Angel’s manhood.  Spike lets his hand fall back to his waist and Angel stops the kiss.  “Spike if you ever caress my mans cock without his or my expressed permission again and I’ll cut your fingers off.  Got me?”
“Don’t hide your words do you pet?” Spike asks.
”I think it, I say it, that’s my way.”  Lia laughs and Angel smiles at her.
”Answer my wife Spike.”
“Yes mistress, I understand, no touching my sire without your permission.”
“Exactly.” Angel laughs.  He likes Spike calling Lia mistress.  He figures he may have to try that later tonight.
“Willow – a greeting?” Angel says.
Willow quickly walks over to Angel and kisses him, without looking at Cordelia.  She kisses Angel intimately until Angel stops her.
“Very good Willow.  That’s a proper hello my grand childe- teach your sire some lessons will you?”

Angel and Lia sit and joke with Spike and Willow for a few minutes.  Willow comes to terms with the fact that Angel and Lia are completely together.  Angel takes the rings from his room, after scolding his childer about keeping his room orderly.  Angel and Lia bid the childer goodbye and go out to his car.
 

Chapter 3
 

As they get to the car Lia turns around quickly, ‘let me see.’
Angel pulls out the rings and shows them to Cordelia.
‘Angel they are beautiful.  But one problem.’
“What?” Angel asks.
“They are identical to the ring you gave Buffy.”
“Honey, I’m Irish.”
“Angel, I just thought that I would be worth something else.  Something different from her.”
“I’m sorry Lia – lets go buy a ring, I didn’t realize how it would seem.”
“I’m sorry to Angel I just”
“Lia – its ok, lets go buy some rings, but can they be Irish a little?” He smirks.
“yes they can be Irish a little.”

~~ A few hours later ~~

“Angel I love this ring, I love you.”
“Oh really?  Care to show me?” Angel smirks lying in bed with Lia.
“Didn’t I just show you?  Angel you’re insatiable.”  Lia laughs, her breath finally returning to normal after their lovemaking just moments before.
“I’m only insatiable when it comes to you.”  Angel rolls over onto his back, pulling Lia on top of him.
“You really do know how to kiss ass.”
“You know there’s something else I’d like you to kiss.” Angel says a little to bluntly.
“Excuse me?” Lia sits up on him.
“Well, its just that we’ve been together for a while, we’re forever mates and you’ve never – you know, sucked me.” Angel tries to be a little softer but he misses blow jobs too much.
“That’s what your childer are for”  Lia screams and gets off of him, tries to walk to the door and an unforeseen force throws her back onto the bed with Angel.  “What the hell was that?”
“We’re forever mates Lia – you can’t leave even in a fight, we have to work this out.”
“There’s nothing to work out Angel dearest.  I refuse to take your orders and suck your dick.  You have two little slaves to do that.”
“Lia – they are not my slaves and I don’t want them.  I want to be satisfied by my wife, not sustained by my childer.”
“Why do you want me in a submissive position anyway?  DO you have to dominate me too?”
Angel quickly grabs her wrists moves them above her head, rolls her over, and pins her with his bodyweight.  He kicks her legs out apart and rests his hips between her thighs.  “Lia if I wanted to dominate you I could do it in a heartbeat. It’s that easy.  You are no match for me strength wise.”
Angel then rolls over and pulls her on top of him.  “But I don’t want to dominate you, I want to love you – all of you.  I want you to love all of me too.  Why are you so hot about this?  Baby why don’t you like blow jobs? I know you gave them to Xander.”
“OH shit – now you’re talking about me with who?  Who told you?”
”Lia – that was a million years ago, but did he do something to make you hate them?  What happened?  You like it when I kiss you there.  Baby that act happens to be something I love.  If you honestly don’t want to do it I’m sure I’ll deal.  But you seem to be making lots of rules lately that I’m not following.”
“OH Angel I love giving head.  Its just”
“Just what baby?”  Angel asks her softly, finally she’s allowing him to hold her close.
“Angel” Lia tries to tell him but she doesn’t know how to say it without embarrassing either of them.
“Baby just tell me.  Come on I love you whatever this is we can work through it.”
“Angel you’re huge.  You won’t fit in my mouth.”
Angel smiles shyly.  “Lia”
“I’m serious Angel.  I’ve looked at it from all different angles and its huge.”
“Baby I’d be more than happy with you just kissing and licking me. Half the pleasure of a blow job is seeing your woman love you, half the pleasure of a blow job is the feel of your tongue on me. Just love me with your mouth, you don’t actually have to suck it into your mouth.”  Angel smiles and kisses her.
“Angel I want to.  It’s not fair, you’re my husband and if I want to get you off with my mouth I should be able to.” Lia smiles mischievously.
“Lia” Angel grins.
“Angel I’m serious.  I’m going to look closer into this issue.” Lia smirks and moves her body down his.
“Lia?” Angel’s voice softens.
“Shh, I want to sneak up on it.” Lia plays kissing her way down his chest.
Angel growls.
“Oh I like that.” Lia smiles and then kisses the tip of his cock.  It was sleeping but wakes up quickly upon the touch of her lips.
“Oh hi there sexy.” Lia purrs.  She then looks up at Angel.  “I won’t be able to get it in my mouth but I can love you if you let me.”
“This is me – letting you.” Angel smiles.  His eyes quickly roll to the back of his head.
Lia purrs as she feels his erection grow.  Instead of being scared she decides to listen to Angel and find out what pleases him.
Lia smirks when she kisses the tip of his cock and hears him growl. “What’s that for?” Lia smirks licking the underside of his cock slowly.  “OH God”  Angel moans out.
Lia quickly backs away thinking she hurt him.  “What?”
“Oh baby – good moan, good moan” Angel tells her with an unneeded breath.
“Oh ok.” Lia smirks and kisses his balls.  She quickly tunes out the entire world and just listens to Angels moans and growling.
Those sounds are so pleasing to her ears.  She loves to have a guy under her control, even though she can’t actually take him into her mouth she can love him with her mouth.  She looks up at him with his next growl and smiles at the site of his eyes rolled into the back of his head and his fangs extended in passion.  She feels him harden under her tongue, her teeth gently scrape over his silky flesh and she hears his growl deepen.  Lia smiles and wraps her hand around the base of his erection and begins to slowly stroke his cock as she kisses the tip and runs her tongue around the head.  Swirling around all the nerve endings in the head listening to him growl and whimper at the same time.  “LIA” He moans.
Lia kisses the tip again and slowly lets go of his cock with her hand and slides up his body, letting his dripping manhood slide between her breasts, down her flat stomach before she kisses him and runs her tongue over his fang, letting her blood drip into his mouth.  “LIA” He moans, as she sits up on his hips, her body begging for him, she bends down and kisses him again as she moves his cock under her and slowly lowers herself down onto his hardness. As he feels his body be seethed inside of Lia he completely vamps out and reaches up sinking his teeth into the closest part of her body, her tender breast.  His fangs sink deep and he feels like he’s tasting the blood from her heart, just inches away.  Lia moans out in pleasure as she pushes her body down onto him, she can feel his cold seed spill into her as she feels her blood flow into his mouth.  “ANGEL” She screams as her body tightens around his massive size and sends her over the edge.

A few moments later Lia looks at Angel and sees that he has tears in his eyes and a huge smirk on his face. “What?  Angel I’m sorry I don’t know what I did wrong, I’m sorry.”
“Baby you did nothing wrong, damn you are good. That was the best head I’ve ever had in my entire 247 years.”
“you’re just being nice.” Lia says.
“I am not kidding.  Baby I’ve never been this satisfied after a blow job.” Angel smirks interlacing his fingers with hers.
“But that wasn’t a blow job because you got off in me.”
“Lia your body didn’t do anything to get me off – your mouth did.  That’s just where I spilled my seed.  You loved me with your mouth.  Honey, that was so sweet.” Angel smiles, he pulls out of his wife and pulls her into his arms.
“I don’t get it.” Lia says softly.  All other guys have demanded to have it as far down  her throat as possible.  Angel was happy to just have her kiss him.
“Baby, I’ll explain it to you – as soon as I recover.” He kisses her and pulls her tight to him.
 

~~ Chapter 4 ~~

Cordelia wakes up a few hours later and feels like she’s pinned to the bed.  She can’t figure out why until she stops to think, Angel is laying almost on top of her.  His body is laying on her side but his leg is bent and is over her pelvis and his arm is wrapped tightly around her torso.  She can’t move but she has no desire to.  When she opens her eyes she looks over at Angel.  She realizes he’s awake and watching her.
“What are you doing?”
“Watching you sleep” He smiles.
“Angel that could be considered stalking.”  She smiles.
“Yep – stalking from an inch away.” Angel smiles and pulls her closer.
“I don’t’ know what’s gotten into you but I kind of like it.”
“What’s gotten into me is the way you loved me last night.  You loved all of me and you have no idea what that means to me.”
“Yeah – show me.” Cordelia smiles.
“I thought you’d never ask.”  Angel smirks and starts to kiss her.  Very quickly the two of them are making love.

~~
At the office
~~

“Angel – is it just me or should we find out some facts about our new client?  I don’t know – maybe her name?” She says cockily.
“Hey I know – lets pretend I’m the boss.” He smirks backing her up against a wall kissing her.
“I don’t think my imagination is that good.” She laughs against his neck.
“OH you are so in trouble.”  Angel grins kissing her.
“Well then – as you won’t be needing me I’ll be going.”  Wesley says to no one and walks out.

Ten minutes later Angel backs away from Lia and reaches in and kisses her quickly on the lips.  “Did Wesley leave?” He asks.
“I think he did.”
Just then the front door to the office opens.  Angel leans back from kissing Lia’s neck and looks at the door.  His faces drops.
“Oh so this is the slut of the week.” Darla’s voice bellows.
Angel backs completely away from Lia – turning to stand between her and Darla.  “Excuse me.”
“I’m shocked you’re getting out of your blond days.”
“Darla – QUIT” Angel orders.
“What you cant’ get me – you can’t get perfection so you settle for something second best.” Darla taunts.
“Darla I’m warning you.” Angels’ demon starts to come alive.
“What are you going to do ANGEL?  Are you going to yell at me?  Or maybe pout? You don’t scare me.  No real woman wants an impotent vampire around.  She doesn’t want the something if she can’t the whole thing.  Angel she’ll leave you – you’re worthless to her.  You’re not evil enough or good enough you’re just half a man and half a vampire.”
By this time Lia has heard enough.  She touches his arm,  “Angel.” She says softly.
“Yes Love.”
“Turn her.” Lia smirks.
Angels shocked, he quickly moves to Darla and wraps a phone cord around her hands.
“Love.”
“Yes.”
“You’re serious?” Angel has to double check with her because of the fight earlier.
“Yes Angelus, I’m serious.”
Angel then looks up at her with so much love - she just gave him everything his heart has ever wanted.  Complete acceptance.  Unconditional Love.
 
 

~~Chapter 5~~
 

 Lia smiles and walks out into the hall to wait for him.  Angel quickly gags Darla and ties her to a chair.  He then walks out into the hall.
“Lia you’re okaying this?”
“Yes Angelus I am.”
“Can you explain?  Just 2 days ago you were incredibly pissed about the idea of me turning Darla.”
“Angel – there’s sides to me you don’t like particularly but you love me all the same.  There’s the side that loves to go shopping although I don’t have the money for it.  The side that judges most thing by its cover.  The side that must have a designer label.  You don’t love all parts of me but you love me and that’s the important part.  I love you Angel – all of you so go ahead – do what you have to have to do.  Baby I don’t care which half of you comes home tonight, just come home.  I don’t want to sleep alone.”
“You’ll never sleep alone again baby.” Angel kisses her.
“Angel – I love you, do whatever you need to do to her, and you have free reign– then stake the bitch.”
“Lia”
“Angel I’m serious – stake her when you’re done because I don’t want her in my world.”
“ok – I’ll stake her – I promise.  I love you. Thank you.”
“You don’t’ have to thank me sweetie – I’m just letting you be you.  I love you.” With that Lia kisses him and goes home.

Angel returns to the area that he has Darla chained up in.
Angel walks over to her and without saying a word vamps out and sinks his teeth deep into her neck.  None to gently.  The thrill of getting to drink from his sire again after 200 years is giving him a hard-on.  This was going to be so rich, he thought.  As he gets Darla to the point of death he looks at her in his human face.
“Do you want to live or do you want to die?” The same question she asked him all those years ago.
Darla takes no time in deciding that she just can’t die – not again.
“Live.”
“If you drink of me, you become my childe.  All your thoughts are of me first, you do nothing without my ok.  I am your master, you can not deny me.  Do you accept that?”
“Yes” Darla says realizing that Angel will now have his revenge and there’s nothing she can do about it.
Angel slits his wrist open and lets Darla drink, with each second his ownership of his tormentor is becoming more complete.

A few hours later Angel walks into his home he’s made with his wife and smiles, looking at her sleeping peacefully on the couch he realizes his life is just about perfect and he’d live it all over again for this one moment in time.
 

~~ Chapter 6 ~~

Angel slowly walks over to his wife and moves her book from her hands.  She slowly opens her eyes as he sits down on the coffee table.  “I love you.” He tells her.
“I know.  You smell.”
“Want to take a shower with me?”
“OH that could be very interesting.” She smiles and rubs her eyes.
“Come on lover.” Angel smiles to her and takes her hand, leading her to the bathroom.  Angel leans down and kisses her after he starts the water.
“Is she gone?” Lia asks her man.
“Yes baby,  I staked her an hour ago.”
“Good – now you are all mine.” Lia smiles as they both walk into the shower and closes the door.  Angel washes her hair and kisses her.  “Why are we taking a shower at 1 am?” Lia asks.
“Because I don’t want any of her on me.” Angel says.
“How about all of me on you?” Lia asks.
“I’m all for that.” Angel smiles.  He reaches and turns off the water before pulling her into his arms and kissing her deeply.  Angel quickly picked up his wife and walked slowly to their darkened bedroom.  He lay Lia down on the bed and then slowly  crawls on top of her.
”OH I love this.” Lia tells him as she kisses him.
“Love what?” Angel asks inhaling deeply to smell her arousal.
“You’re my angel.” She smiles as his body entices her.  Her nipple finds its way into his hot mouth warmed by Darla’s blood, as his fingers slowly and expertly tease and torment her to the point of explosion.  Lia moans and whispers words of desire and love for the man laying above her.  His body hard and eager to please her, Angel however is in the mood to play.  He moves down her torso and begins to kiss and lick the perspiration off her body allowing his tongue to find its way to her sweet core.  His thumb finds its way inside of her and she moans.  Not able to handle the pleasure, her body relishes in her first orgasm of the night.
“I love you Lia.” Angel whispers and his fangs sink into her forever mark.  He had finally marked his wife.  After being mated for a month Lia asked him if he was ever going to mark her, he hadn’t because of the argument that she told him his biting her had scared him.  He finally got over that when she bit him during sex one night – she of course didn’t draw blood but she bit – letting him know that he didn’t have to be scared anymore.
Angel had strategically placed the forever mark, it was below her bellybutton on the left.  Just above the triangle of curls that he loved to bury his face in.  As he sank his teeth into that soft skin Lia moaned through another orgasm.  Angels thumb moved out of her wetness as his fingers slipped back inside, his thumb however, had another destination in mind.  He had never touched Cordelia’s anus. He had never even talked to her about her feelings on it.  He just slowly used his thumb to circle the outer edge of her puckered hole.  Lia moans deeply.  “Angel”
“Like that sweetie?” He asks after finally removing his teeth from her body.
“uh huh.”  Cordelia moans.
“Want more?” He asks.  Missing this kind of play.
“more.” Lia moans pulling him closer to her.  Lia kisses him deeply wrapping her leg around his waist.  Angel quickly slides his thumb farther passed the puckered opening.
“Angel” Lia moans.  “I need you.”  He smiles, slowly moving his hand from her body and sliding up, slowly impaling her on his erection as his face meets hers.  Making love to his wife, that would go down as his all time favorite pastimes.  Angel loved his wife until the sun started to come up.  The crack of dawn brought with it the desire to cuddle.  Lia loved that side of her husband.
“I love you Angel – all of you and that’s a promise, from this day forward.”
“Lia do you want a wedding?”
“I had one.  The night we made love and drank from each other.  That was more intimate and more long lasting than a wedding ever could be.”  She smiles laying peacefully in his arms.
“But do you want the formality?  Like do you want me on one knee to ask for your hand in marriage?”
“First of all – if you were on your knees I’d attack you.  Secondly I do not need the formality of any of that.  Now had you asked me 2 years ago and I would have been like hell yeah- but Angel I realize now all I need, all I’ll ever need, is in this bed with me.”
“You really are trying to make me go insane with love aren’t you?  You love me so much that you’ll never hurt me will you?”
“I don’t plan on it.”
“You complete me Lia.  You’re the best part of me.” Angel smiles and kisses her.  Pulling her into his arms and kissing her tenderly and yet possessively.  “Mine” He states between kisses.
“Yours.” She smiles and kisses him back.

~~ A few days later ~~

Angel walks in from the hallway – “Hey baby, we’re going to have company.”
“What?” Lia asks walking out of the kitchen in nothing but an apron.  Stirring something in a kettle.
Angel almost drops his teeth.  “Honey I didn’t think you knew what the kitchen was for.”  He smirks.
“For stripping?”
“For melting chocolate.”  Lia smiles and dips her fingers into some chocolate and runs them over Angels mouth.  “Now you may not be able to taste this.”  Lia licks his lips, licking the chocolate off – “But I sure can and damn it tastes good.” She smiles.
“Baby we can’t” He starts before she licks his lips.  “Oh God that feels great.”  He smiles.  “Baby we can’t do this right now.”
“Why – I’m  here, you’re here, I’m naked it works for me.”
“OH it works for me too.” Angel picks her up after placing the chocolate down on the table.  “But baby – we’re going to have an influx of Scooby gang members here in about”
Just then the doorbell rings. “One second.” Cordelia says to the closed door.  “Ugh” She smirks and runs into the bedroom to change.
Angel walks over to the door and opens it to reveal – Buffy, Xander, Anya, Willow, Spike and Giles.
“Sire” Willow and Spike say by way of greeting.
“In.” Angel orders.  Willow and Spike follow the order and Buffy, Anya, Xander and Giles walk in afterwards.
“Why are you here?” Angel asks the Scooby gang.
“We came to see you dead boy.” Xander responds.
“Somehow I find that unlikely.”
“Why are you here?” Buffy asks.
“You don’t know?” Angel asks her but also the rest of the gang since he was sure Giles had told them.
“Know what?” Buffy asks.
“OH this is going to be sweet.”  Angel smirks holding out his left hand to display his wedding ring.
“What?  What kind of joke is this?” Buffy bellows.
“Its not a joke you blond bimbo.” Lia walks out from her room at that time and walks right up to Angel and stands beside him.
“What?” Buffy asks dumbfounded.  There’s no way Angel would every be with Cordelia Chase, Buffy thought.
“Hey Buffy remember when you came to LA about 6 months ago looking for vengeance on Faith?” Angel starts.
“Yeah – and you hit me.”
“Yeah you hit me first.  Anyway remember when you told me that you had a right for vengeance and I told you, ‘This wasn’t about you – it was about saving someone’s soul – its what I do here and you’re not part of it – that was your decision remember.”
“Yes Angel I remember.” Buffy says defiantly.
“Remember when you so proudly and bitchily told me, ‘I’ve got someone new in my life – I love him – its not like with you – its something new – you know what makes it new – I trust him, I know him”
“Yes and you told me, and none to nicely I might add, ‘its nice that you moved on –I can’t.   You found someone new.  I’m not allowed to – remember.” Buffy recaps for him.
“Well Buffy I take that back.” Angel pulls Cordelia into his arms. “I found someone new, I moved on.  You know what makes my wife different from you?  She loves me.  ALL of me.  She TRUSTS me, ALL of me.  And she’s a hell of a lot better in bed.” Angel smirks.  Knowing he’ll probably get smacked later for that but he finally got his payback on the other woman that hurt him.
Buffy starts to cry and walks out.  Xander, Anya and Giles say their goodbyes and follow.  Leaving Angel and his family together. Just the way Angel wanted it.
