Time slowed to a dream world standstill, fading into hazy shadows until
only Angel remained. He towered over her, his mere presence demanding
authority.
"Yes?" she managed to squeak out, as she stared up into his smoldering
gaze. When he spoke, his words were like fire; hypnotizing and dangerous.
They had her trapped.
"When we were down in the building and I needed blood, you have me yours.
Why?" he asked her, keeping his tone even and low.
"Well I." she stuttered out her words, melting under his hot glance. "We
would've died."
The memories of that event flooded through her veins like a sweet blaze.
Her heart raced at the mere thought of Angel's lips at her neck. Shaking
her head to clear it of such improper thoughts, she tried once more to meet
his eyes.
"Is that the reason?" he asked in a silky smooth voice. Cordelia felt
herself sinking fast into his web of hypnotism.
"What other reason would there be?" Her voice came in little more than a
whisper then. It occurred to her that perhaps he was going to finish what
he had started, and kill her. By the darkness in his eyes and the seductive
silkiness in his voice, it was probably the most likely outcome. She was
too far down though, to pull herself out and run. Whatever his plans were,
she was lost to them.
Angel stared down into Cordy's spellbound hazel eyes with wonderment. She was so innocent, so beautiful. How in the world he could've landed himself with this Earth-bound goddess for so long with out realizing exactly how much she meant was beyond him. Her skin was a healthy tan again, still soft as silk. All the make-up was gone from her face, leaving only her natural beauty. Her lips, a lucious red, tempted him dangerously. Fear and an unfulfilled wanting stared back at him from the depths of her captivating brown eyes. As if it had a life of its own, one hand reached up and touched her cheek gently, tracing her jaw line. "You're so beautiful." He told her in a whisper. Her eyes widened slightly and her lips parted in surprise at this statement. Angel couldn't hold back any longer, the draw of her unconscious sensuality was overpowering. Entangling his fingers into the burnished silk of her hair, he drew her forward and stole her lips in a passionate kiss.
A breathtaking array of fireworks and heavenly light exploded around Angel's head as he stood, drinking in the taste of her. The satiny brilliance of her lips surpassed every daydream and fantasy he'd ever conjured up. She was tense at first, unsure of the occurrences. Within a few seconds though she loosened up, melting into him. It struck him as genius that their bodies fit so perfectly together, like two halves of a locket lost in the wide world only to be brought together again after a millennium of silent searching. His hunger for her was amazing, he could never get enough of the sugar-sweetness of her mouth. He deepened the kiss, a ferocious yearning clawing at every cell in his body - a yearning that only she could satisfy. It was beautiful, like dying with each passing moment in their own little universe. The chirping of the birds and the languid brush of the breeze circled the two, drawing their spirits together in a seductive and intimate dance of life and love.
After what seemed like blissful eternity, Angel drew away to look into Cordelia's eyes. Her lips, swollen from his famished kiss, trembled slightly. Those striking eyes held secrets untold, of friendship blossoming into harmonious love. The gentle breeze picked up her hair, blowing in back from the beautiful face he held in his hands, letting it fly free. He caressed her cheek with his thumb, trying to read what she felt. It was the deciding moment. Depending on how she reacted, it could be the end of their friendship, or the beginning of something wonderful.
Cordelia struggled to even breathe. She was shocked out of her mind, unsure of what everything in the world meant. Here was Angel, her business partner and best friend, standing over her with that gorgeous smile on his face that made her knees weak. 'He kissed me.' Her mind repeated over and over again. The thought was foreign, but the memory was as vivid as life. His mouth was hot, hungry, and sweet as honey and roses. The way he held her, touched her, made her feel for the first time in her life like she was truly wanted and loved. Her soul cried out for more. She felt as if he were life, and if he let her go she'd slip away into dreary nothingness. The smallest of smiles flitted across her lips, as she leaned in once more and kissed him. Their kiss was soft this time, gentle; with all the love and passion of the first but tender as the sunlight that spilled over them. She wrapped her arms around his neck, craving a closeness that would never be fully satisfied. "Does this mean that you love me?" she asked with a small smile in between kisses. "More than life." He told her, his voice husky. She pulled away slightly and smiled up at him. "Good," she said, stealing a final kiss. "Because I love you too." With that, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, fitting her body into his. She snaked an arm around his waist, and the two walked lazily back to the party to join their friends.
