"I'm stuck in traffic."
She shifts the cell phone from one ear to the other as she steps into her shoes and zips her skirt.
"We could have steak. There should be a couple in the freezer. That won't take long."
She cradles the phone with her shoulder as she buttons the suit jacket.
"We must have finished it last week. I can swing by and…."
She sweeps the keys off the table and freezes as her eyes catch the keyring. She is ensnared by the picture of a child and his father.

minutes, Angel."

"Can I press the little buttons and call your wife and kiddies? Can I? We could go for a ride. Take them out for chocolate and ice cream. There’s a park with horses that go up and down and round and round. It’s got twinkling lights and a nice man who plays music. Would they like that?”
One hand snaked around his bare throat. The other held the phone to her ear.
“There’s no buzzing. How do I make it buzz? Is it this one?”
Drusilla waved the keys before his eyes. “Tell mummy quickly. I'm getting hungry.”

She thinks she remembers the first time she heard the word. A plate had shattered
in the kitchen. A man had yelled a bad word. A woman had repeated it. The words
were followed by other familiar sounds: slamming doors, crying, a car starting,
squealing tires.
As silence crept over the house, she tiptoed into the kitchen and spied on her mother. Her beautiful mother poured a golden brown liquid into a glass filled with ice and downed it in a single gulp.
"If he wants a divorce, I'll damn well give him one."

Hot. Smooth. Dripping. Silky. Velvet. Sweet. Sinful. Thick. Creamy. Liquid.
Sticky. Heaven.
Her skin flushed with the rush of sensations.
Her face reflected the rapture she felt as she devoured her first love.
Her eyes lidded and fluttered open as she flirted with her passion.
Her tongue scoured each cell of skin for every last drop of ambrosia.
Her lips searched for remnants of bliss.
Her breath halted and then eased forth in a momentous sigh.
Buffy beamed in sweet satisfaction. "Hot chocolate is the best thing on earth, Will."

Cordy rolled her eyes in exasperation and turned to Angel.
"You just had to say it, didn't you?"
Angel shrugged and looked apologetic.
"I didn't know," he mumbled.
"Oh, come on. He used to be a Watcher. What did you think was gonna happen when you said, 'How many words does Gunn need to tell her goodbye?'"

"And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain."
Lorne watched as Cordelia repeatedly banged her head on the bar's wooden counter.
"I know just how you feel, honey," he sympathized.
"You'd think his singing would improve with age. But no. I can honestly say it hasn't." The brunette winced as Angel crashed and burned on the final notes.
"But more, much
more than this,
I did it my way."

Her bosom heaved in anticipation as his cool fingers danced along the swells
of flesh that peaked above the lacy edge of her virginal white camisole.
"I love you," he panted in rich velvet tones that matched his handsome visage.
"I love you," she echoed. Her slender fingers twined in Angel's mahogany hair.
"I will always love you," he vowed as he bent her backwards and gathered her lips to his in a sweet virtuous kiss. She moaned slightly and opened her mouth to receive his tongue. The kiss lasted for centuries and dissolved the tenuous lock on her maidenhood.

DISCLAIMER: *still coughing and choking*
She gasped as he ripped the camisole from her pliant body. Her ivory flesh was
unblemished and smooth. With deliberate movement, his hands crept along her
décolletage to cup the ample breasts.
In unison, they moaned in pleasure.
No man had ever seen her so brazenly uncovered. In her loins she felt desire building. She pressed her aching rosebud tips into his palms and shivered as his cool thumbs stroked them until they were pebbled peaks of desire.
She begged for release from this sweet torture. Angel's cool tongue lapped one dainty bud. She spiraled into heaven.

DISCLAIMER: *just choking now*
His cold member pressed against the tempestuous heat of her pure sex. She surrendered
to the desire stirring within her loins.
"Angel, make me a woman," she begged.
It was all he needed to breach the forbidden castle. As he encountered the proof of her maidenhood, he whispered, "Mine forever?"
"Yes. Oh God, yes," she cried.
Angel pushed through the resisting membrane, destroying the last vestiges of her virginity. He let his need set the tempo. He gave her five petits morts before he joined her in paradise.
They lived happily ever
after.

The Look
AUTHOR: Yseult deBreton
RATING: PG-13 (vulgarity)
CHALLENGE: Slash. Male. Female. Or both.
TIMELINE: Set during "Parting Gifts"
SUMMARY: Wesley's thoughts when he first encounters Angel in
Barney's apartment.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's Glossolalia's fault that I'm writing Angel/Wesley
right now and not B/A. Just so everyone knows.
DATE OF COMPLETION: 13 July 2003
DISTRIBUTION: Sunday 100 and Yseult's Passion (http://yseultspassion.com)
DISCLAIMER: Still ain't mine.
Wesley's first thought when he finds Angel is "Damn. He still looks fuckable."
The problem isn't so much that Angel looks fuckable. It's that Wesley wants to be the one being fucked. Hard. By Angel. Who is a vampire. Which means he is a demon. Which means Wesley should be staking Angel and not thinking about getting fucked by him. Because that's what Rogue Demon Hunters do.
Yet, it's the contemptible way that Angel speaks his name, and the corresponding look, that confirms Wesley's suspicion. That fucking isn't going to happen anytime soon. Well, at least not today.

CHALLENGE: Slash. Male. Female. Or both.
DATE OF COMPLETION: 13 July 2003
DISTRIBUTION: Sunday 100 and Yseult's Passion (http://yseultspassion.com)
DISCLAIMER: Nah. Still ain't mine.
What Wesley feels is Angel naked and writhing below him, moaning and nipping and sucking and sinking deep into his human body. What Wesley hears is Angel murmuring words like "yes", "deeper", "harder", "faster" until the vampire explodes in a cascade of ecstasy. What Wesley smells and tastes is the sweet scent of Angel's cum mixed with the sour odours of perspiration and saliva. What Wesley sees is Angel's eyes reflecting lust and desire, friendship and love, honesty and trust.
What Wesley knows is that he has killed the father and the son.

DISCLAIMER: Standard "I'm broke/don't sue" legalese.
Fingers. Fabric. Feeling. Fangs. Fondling. Freedom.
Wesley's fingers saunter down Angel's bared chest and halt at the waistband of his pants. The difference in texture between the fabric and Angel's skin is negligible; both feel like soft wet silk.
Wesley slips his fingers below the cloth. They glide in and out of Angel's navel then circle the sign that this demon was born human.
He wants to slide his fingers lower, but this is not the time. Instead he offers Angel his bleeding arm. As fangs sink into the warm human flesh, Wesley gently cups Angel's crotch with his other hand.

DISCLAIMER: All hail Joss, ruler of Buffyverse
He had followed her though Europe as she chased the unreachable, but Ireland is the place where he possessed her. In Galway, she let him share her bed and feel the dampness of her soul.
She disrobed silently and without pretence, her golden skin offering more warmth than the fire in the hearth. He fumbled with his belt and gracelessly pulled the clothes from his body.
If she thought the sex would be as artless, she was mistaken. He was a competent and experienced lover. When she whispered someone else's name in the dark, it was irrelevant. He did too.

Willow's Autumn

DISCLAIMER: Characters don't belong to me.
The thing she hates about autumn is that it reminds her of the people she will never see.
In New England, autumn is the same colour as her hair. She spends a sunny afternoon in the woods of Maine looking up at the canopy of multicoloured maples and birches. She wanders in circles, not lost, just wandering. Her feet crunch through a thick carpet of fallen leaves.
She buys new crayons and breathes in the tangy scent of freshly sharpened pencils. She sighs as she cracks the spine of her textbooks.
Autumn means no Jesse. No Oz. No Tara.

Willow chewed the eraser on her pencil. Just what was she supposed to do with the word "steamy"? She didn't write poetry. She did math and science not poetry. That's not the way her mind worked.
She drummed the pencil on her paper and glanced at Buffy. The Slayer was writing furiously but stopped once she realized Willow was staring.
"What are you writing?" whispered Willow.
Buffy pointed at the word that was written on the blackboard and raised her eyebrows.
"Oh." To Buffy,
"steamy" meant Angel. Willow glanced at Xander and wondered when steamy
would mean "Willow".
