Part 5

Cordelia sighed with relief over and over again. Finally everything was all right. And they had even started to laugh about it. The headache was nearly gone and besides a few small bruises, Angel looked way better than the past few weeks.

Now everybody had started to tell little stories from Sunnydale or LA, everyone curious to hear what the others had lived through.

Everyone expect Buffy and Angel. The two were sitting on the couch again and it seemed like they´d forgotten everything around them. They were drinking the other in with hungry eyes, slightly smiling. Unnoticed their fingers had entangled and slowly started to caress each other's hands.

After a while Buffy broke the silence between them.

"Angel?", she asked softly.

"Yeah?"

"Can I speak to you for a moment? Alone?", she nodded towards the others.

"Sure", he agreed, pulling her to the door.

When they were standing outside again, Buffy turned around, but not facing him.

"Uhm, about what you said earlier", she started, her voice full of fear and doubt.

"Yeah?", he wasn´t sure what she wanted to tell him.

"I know that there were different circumstances. And I would understand if you..."

"If I´d tell you that I didn´t really mean it?", he finished.

"Yeah. We were all worried and...", she went on.

"But I meant it. Every single word.", he took her hand again.

"Buffy", he cupped her chin with his other hand, "I love you. I´ve always loved you and I hope you know that."

"I love you too", she whispered softly, looking deep into his eyes.

Once again their lips met in a long kiss. It seemed like they had never been apart. Both knew exactly what the other liked and both laid all their feelings in this one kiss. She stood on her toes to get closer to him, while he lifted her up slightly. Desire welled up between them as they allowed themselves all the feelings they had suppressed for so long, and the kiss became more passionate.

"And I want you", he forced out while they were panting, leaning into each other.

All that Buffy could do after this was to kiss him hard and fast.

"My mom is out of town ´til Sunday. Maybe we should just test if your Irish friend is a liar.", she winked at him wickedly.

And after that both nearly ran all the way to the Summer´s house, stopping only to kiss again.

Buffy leaned against the front door, softly moaning as Angel kissed her long and deep. She searched for her key and tossed the door open, pulling him with her.

Now she giggled as he swept her into his arms and carried her up the stairs, not losing contact with her lips for a second. They came to halt in front of her door where he lowered her to the floor again.

"Are you sure you want this?", he asked her, looking deep into her eyes.

"As sure as one can be.", she smiled at him and underlined her statement with a kiss that would have made him blush, if he could.

She pulled him with her into her room where they kissed for the first time all those years ago. But now it was different. The were both grown. But their kisses hadn´t lost their passion. There was even more of it.

Softly he pushed her on the bed while she shoved off his duster. She pressed against him, feeling his arousal responding to hers. He stopped his unnecessary breath for a second as he slid down her shirt, exploring her soft skin, placing kisses on her stomach. Buffy moaned loudly and started to work with the buttons of his shirt.

"Buffy", he sighed as she slid it off and pressed against his bare chest. His hands roamed all over her body, slowly tracing their way towards her bra, caressing her already hard nipples through the fabrics. She gasped in sensation and felt like bells were ringing in her head.

Which in fact they were. She blinked and moaned in frustration as Angel stopped his attentions.

"Hold that thought.", she told him with a quick kiss an reached for the phone.

"Buffy?", the voice on the other end sounded worried.

"Willow."

"Buffy are you ok? You left a while ago and Angel´s gone too. I just wanted to check if you´re alright.", Willow asked.

Buffy had to fought hard to keep her attention on the phone while Angel traced soft lines around her belly button.

"I´m fine.", she told her friend, smiling at her lover.

"Ok, Buffy, Giles is here he wanted to tell you..."

"Willoooohhooow", Buffy moaned as Angel started to nibble at her ear while he was playing with the waistband of her panties, "this is... kinda bad time, uuhm, tell him I´ll call tomorrow."

She could nearly see Willow blush through the phone and giggled.

"Oh. I´m... I´m sorry...Bye.", Willow just stuttered.

Angel smiled at his lover wickedly as she placed the phone beside the reciever.

"I started thinking she was going for a long talk."

She silenced him with another kiss. Enough time had been wasted.

Quickly their other clothes were gone.

The feeling of being skin to skin again, to feel the other so close filled them with sensation. He kissed her all over, wanting to taste every inch of her. He had missed her so terribly, but now they were finally together.

She parted her legs, waiting for him.

"Angel please", she begged, and he felt the very same.

"I want to be inside you. Now.", he moaned out. She could only nod.

Both couldn´t stand it any longer, they wanted each other so much, so badly. And so both were crying tears of joy as they became finally one. Both rocked together in a slow rhythm, wanting it to last forever. Now he was finally home, Angel thought, as he felt her around him.

And both cried out as they came over and over again. Together.

"I love you Angel.", she said, as she leaned into his embrace, slowly drifting into sleep.

"I love you.", he whispered back, as he pulled her to him.

This was heaven, Buffy thought, as she woke the next morning. Never in all these nights had she felt so save. She smiled as she felt the figure beside her shift. She knew he was looking at her. She could sense it. His hands caressed her ribcage and his lips started to kiss her shoulder. Turning her head, eyes still closed, she finally found his mouth, kissing him softly.

"I like seeing you first thing in the morning.", she whispered with a smile as she finally opened her eyes.

His smile was even brighter.

"Happy Birthday, my love."

She smiled back at him brightly, realizing he was right. He hadn´t forgotten. And somehow, after two long years they felt perfectly happy, without fearing the consequences.

"I love you", she whispered.

"I love you too.", he replied before he started to bring every inch of her body back to life with soft, gentle kisses. It was time to celebrate, he thought while he enjoyed the sounds coming from his lover, melting into his touch.

The end :o)
