Forever, Always, and Then Some

Chapter 28

 

Later that night Buffy is up nursing Conner, when she prepares to invade her husband’s dream. She gets Conner settled and concentrates on relaxing and transporting herself into his imagination.

Buffy slides into the dream. She quickly recognizes the scene as the one from the prior night. Dream Buffy(DB) is laying across the bed as Dream Angel(DA) is removing the silks stockings. Buffy watches as DA tosses the second stocking on the chair. She expects that he will lie down next but is shocked when the story takes an abrupt turn.

DA reaches down and lifts DB’s skirt revealing lace panties. Buffy almost laughs when she sees the panties Angel fantasizes are far skimpier than the ones she was wearing that night. She continues watching as DA slowly removes the panties and tosses them aside. Buffy is mesmerized by the scene.

Buffy watches DA place his fingers where she herself wants them. DB skirms under his sexual assault. Buffy finds herself wanting to skirm in reaction to the scene. Buffy considers leaving but can not draw herself away. As DA drops to his knees, she realizes that DB is in for even more pleasure. Before DA continues the assault he casually turns his head toward where Buffy stands watching and smiles. He knew she was there the whole time.

Buffy watches as DA drives DB to the brink of madness before standing up and pulling DB up onto her shacking legs. DA proceeds to rain kisses upon DB’s mouth and neck, as his hand’s fumble to remove her clothing. As the clothing puddles to the ground, DA throws back the bed covers and picks up DB and places her upon the bed.

DA looks back to see if she is still watching and again smiles. Buffy finds herself practically holding her breath awaiting his next move. DA removes his boots and socks and pauses long enough to kiss DB. Buffy watches as he then proceeds to remove his own clothing, slowly as if to tease.

When DA is as naked as his partner he climbs onto the bed and onto DB.

Buffy pulls back and out of the dream. She has seen enough. Her own body temperature has risen due to the experience. As she sits with Conner trying to shake the overwhelming desires coursing through her, Angel rolls over and opens his eyes to look at her.

Angel: Hello sweetheart. Been enjoying yourself?

Buffy: Not anymore than you have.

Angel: True, but why did you leave?

Buffy: Because I needed to be able to breath and watching that was not conducive to drawing full breaths. Is that what you really fantasize about?

Angel: Day and night.

Buffy gets up and starts changing Conner, trying to return to her normal routine and not relive the dream over and over. Once Conner is back in his bed, she sits in the chair avoiding the bed.

Angel climbs out of bed and stands before her.

Buffy: Get back in bed.

Angel: Not without you.

Buffy: I will come when I am ready.

Angel looks at her in amusement.

Buffy: That came out wrong. I will return to bed later.

Angel: No you will come with me now. We are going to reenact part of my dream.

Buffy: Huh, but I am not wearing stockings anymore.

Angel: Wrong part. I am talking about the part where you skirm with pleasure under my lets say guiding hand.

Buffy: Level head, level head, level head.

Angel: What are you doing?

Buffy: Reminding myself to keep a level head.

Angel: Don’t bother, I am the level head. I have given this much consideration and I know how far I can take things before I am "happy and content". And though it will give me pleasure to see you fulfilled, it is not my idea of happiness.

Buffy: You are insane. We can not take a chance you are wrong. I can’t lose you again. I can’t risk having to kill you of having you kill me or Conner or anyone else.

Angel: So you don’t trust me.

Buffy: It is not that, I don’t trust the curse. We can not risk breaking the spell. My sexual satisfaction is not what is important, our love is.

Angel: Okay, but I am not rescinding my offer. Now will you come and get some sleep. I will stay on my side if you want.

Buffy: Fine.

They climb in bed and each lie on their own side. After a few minutes of staring at the ceiling, Buffy looks over at Angel.

Buffy: If I ask you too snuggle, will you behave.

Angel: Come here, I’ll not do anything you’re not ready for.

They snuggle down and soon are both sleeping.

 

Next morning.

Buffy: Angel, I think after last night, it might be better if I went back to Sunnydale and not stay till Saturday.

Angel: What? No, oh please don’t. I want you here. I need you here. I need my family.

Buffy: The sexual tension is getting out of hand.

Angel: What if I move to another room, will you stay? I will do whatever will make you stay.

Buffy: I am not leaving at this second, but if we can not control our hormones, I will have to go. And no I do not want you to go to another room. Let’s just see if we can control ourselves.

Angel: Buffy

Buffy: I know, me too.

The rest of the day goes off without incident. Angel works out with Cordy and Buffy has a session with Gunn. Late in the afternoon, Buffy and Angel are sitting in the lobby just watching Conner in his swing.

Angel: Buffy, have you decided if you are leaving or staying?

Buffy: Staying. I can’t deny anyone of us the little time we have together. But we need to stay away from the fire for awhile.

Angel slides over toward his wife and puts his arm around her.

Angel: Fine. I need you more than I need the fire.

Buffy: Me too.

Angel: Want to do anything special tonight?

Buffy: Like what? (gives him a better behave look)

Angel: I was thinking dinner and dancing or maybe a movie.

Buffy: A date? Would be nice but we do have a baby and I am not asking Cordy or the others to do one more thing, they have done too much. He is our responsibility not theirs.

Angel: I agree. We could take him with us or ask someone else.

Buffy: Who? I am not leaving him with a stranger.

Angel: I don’t know. Guess it is a bad idea. Forget it.

Buffy: Wait, I have an idea. Stay here.

She walks into the office and makes a phone call, then comes back out.

Buffy: Looks like we have a date.

Angel: Who did you call?

Buffy: Grandpa. He is actually excited about it.

Angel: Hank? Sure he can handle it?

Buffy: He has more experience than us, granted with girls but I don’t think it can be that different.

Angel: You are right, I am just an overprotective father.

Buffy: Never can be overprotective when it come to your child.

Angel: So what do you want to do?

Buffy: Dancing? I did buy the other dress like you told me too.

Angel: Will I like it as much as the first?

Buffy: You will have to tell me. Dad will be here at seven. I told him we would be back by eleven.

Angel: Perfect. We have a few hours, what say I make you a bubble bath and I take care of the little one.

Buffy: Bubble bath?

Angel: No minion, just lost of hot water and bubbles.

Buffy: I am not going to complain. Lead the way.

The trio heads upstairs.
