Buffy Donatella stepped out of the limo that had driven her to the airport to meet her next business acquaintance. Angelus Connali was of the Connali Family. Buffy's family's rival. She and Angel had been sworn enemies since childhood and they hadn't laid eyes on each other for 6 years. Buffy and Angel attended the same private high school together. Normally, this wouldn't have been allowed but both families had been too stubborn to back down and change either child's school, so they remained. They hated each other. Buffy remembered Angel best for his stunt in fourth grade, when he cut her long golden mane from her head and sent her crying. She had arranged for one of the millions of guys in love with her at school to pay him back for that and since then, it had been war. Both their families were powerful. Each wanted to rein over the other. Buffy was the eldest daughter to her parents and they had no sons so they raised her to lead the family business as a Dona. She was the most respected and most lusted after woman in the world. She ran all the business and handled all threats as her late father had taught her. She moved away from her limo, her black Versache suit accenting her curves perfectly and her long blond mane pulled into a sleek pony tail down her back to hit her bottom. Behind her flowed her sisters Faith and Dawn and cousin Alejandro or Xander as they called him. He was one of her right hands. They stood like a tower of destruction and waited for Angelus to exist his plane. He peered his head out and squinted through his glasses at the bright California sky. Behind him trailed Spike, Gunn and Wesley, all sporting nice suits. Spike carried a brief case and stood next to Angel as he stood in front of Dona Donatella.

"I see your hair grew back?" He shot out with a grin. She removed her black glasses, piercing his deep brown eyes with her emerald ones. She opened her blood red lips and replied with, "I see the bruises cleared up." He laughed tightly as he admired her beauty. *Damn, too bad she was the enemy.* They all loaded back into the limo with the wind whipping behind them and drove to The Donatella Estate.

"We seem to have a problem, Mr. Connali," she dawned in her Italian accent. "It seems that some of your men have been hitting my people. Why is that?" She asked pacing around the board room table.

"Well, anything my men may have done was done because they were provoked. You know, a temptress like yourself can provoke a lot out of innocent people, Dona." Buffy rolled her eyes.

"Is he always this degrading or does it get sweeter?" Faith sighed.

"You should learn to speak when spoken to, woman!" Angel sneered.

"And you will respect my sister, PIG!" Buffy gritted. "Everyone out, except Angel." Buffy eyed, going around to her private desk and propping her legs up on her desk. After everyone was out, Angel turned back to her, his expression blank and bored.

"A bullet for your thought, Mr. Connali?" Buffy ventured.

"Just wondering what it would take to get between your thighs, Dona." He grinned.

"Grow up! You have a problem, I suggest you fix it. If not, I'll fix it for you. And you don't want that, Angel. You really don't want that."

"Don't I? Dona, our familias' have been fighting for the upper hand for years. Centuries. What makes you so sure it was my men? I believe it's time for me to take over, and make you my wife." He grinned, egotistically. Buffy let out a whole hearted laugh.

"Goodnight, Mr. Connali, if it's war you want, it's war you'll have. I want you and your posse out of my house." She laughed, getting out of her seat and moving to the door. He grabbed her brought her body to his.

"I've loved you for years, Buffy. You know I have. If this is the only way I can have you, than I'll do what it takes. Whatever happens, happens. I don't care about our families titles, but your loyalty to yours is bringing it to battle. If this is more important than what you know is in your heart, I'll have to make you face it."

"Don't get hurt when it's not you I choose. Remember that, Angelus?" She sneered.

****Flash Back****

"Angel, we can do this, we can make it work. I don't care about our families, I care about you. I think I love you. I've never felt this way before." Buffy sobbed.

"I feel the same way, but I owe it to my father to turn my back on this. They have arranged a marriage for me and there's no way they'll counter that for a Donatella. No way. In 4 months I won't be allowed to love you like this." He gritted, holding back tears and held her to his body.

"Angel, we can leave, run away. Please, you can't do this." She screamed.

"I have to. Goodbye, Dona." He whispered, kissing her gently on the lips and pulling away.

********

He pulled away, releasing her. "I was young and stupid. I was too caught up in the family to listen to my heart. I wanted you then, and I want you now."

"Yea, well, my father's death brought about a new Buffy. You see, when you broke my heart when I was 18, my family put it back together, not you. You hear me, my family! I will not let you that close to me ever again. I'm sorry, my heart doesn't work that way anymore. You killed it when you married her!" He growled. "How is Katalina? Angel?"

"She's dead." He whispered.

"Oh, sorry, probably forgot to get that message from my secretary. Get the hell out Angel." She whispered. He turned back to her and kissed her. He put so mush passion and love into that kiss, she couldn't resist. He finished and stepped toward the door.

"Your mind is angry, but your body says otherwise. I love you, Dona." He whispered, and left.

Buffy sank to the floor and cursed herself. She knew she loved him, but now it was her turn to be strong. She was all her sisters had left and she would protect and take care of them, as she had promised her father.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

"I don't know why you guys don't just unite the empire. I mean, both of you are powerful, it's obvious she loves you Angel, and then all this shit can stop. Think about it, if it came down to it, would you kill her?" Gunn asked, asking a deep breath.

"I don't know what to do. We are gonna fight till the death. She won't give in. Things are heating up. Either we unite or we fight. She chose to fight." He said, downing his drink in one gulp.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Giles, how's ma-ma?" Buffy asked, walking into her uncle's office.

"She is sick Buffy. You need to go and see her. I know it's hard for you because you lost your father, but she's been sick a while. She won't hold out much longer." He sighed, removing his glasses.

"Okay, I'm going. It's just hard, you know."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

" Mama?" Buffy asked, peering into her mothers room.

"Dona? How is my baby girl?" Her mother asked.

"Not good, matushka (mother in russian). I saw Angel today. He wants to unite, to marry me, to rule together, but I can't do it. I can't give my heart to him. Papa would turn over in his grave if he knew about our history. He would turn over again if I married and ruled with him." Buffy sniffed, snuggling up to her mother in her bed.

"Oh, I see. Angelus is back. Buffy, you will need him. The Gotti's have something up their sleeve. I don't know, but people are talking. You need to watch yourself. I know Angel loves you, he told me." she smiled. Buffy looked over and noticed a bouquet of white roses.

"He came to see you?" She asked, teary-eyed.

"He sends me flowers once a year. Since I've been sick, every week. He loves you. That love will protect you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I Month Later

Buffy, Dawn and Faith had just finished their kick-boxing lessons and sat at the bar, upstairs. Mariana was preparing Frappachino's for them and they sat talking. Xander ran in and interrupted.

"Dona, there's a problem." Xander started.

"The Gotti's?" She asked. "Mama, mentioned trouble, what is it?"

"There's a hit out on you, Buffy. Someone wants you gone, and quietly." Xander informed, seriously.

"Hmmph. Wouldn't be the first time. Want anything here, Xander?" She asked, unaffected.

"Buffy, It's serious, they hired Russians to assassinate you. Snipers. They mean business. I will not watch you die. We're upping security. I want someone on all of you, 24-7." He gritted, angrily.

"Girls please excuse us." She said, excusing her sisters. She and Xander headed down the hall to her office. "Okay, Xand, what's the what?"

"Okay, they hired 4 guys. Russians, as I said. They're orders were to shoot to kill and to do it quickly. We found out because someone on Connali's team tipped us off." Buffy's head shot up. Her eyes grew wide, then went back to normal.

"Esperanza, call Parkario and Rileno Gotti. I need a meeting." She ordered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dona, what brings you here?" Rileno asked as he sat in front of Buffy.

"You damn well know. Where is your coward brother Parkario?"

"He should be here any minute."

"Hmm, so, why do you have a hit out on me? Scared of a lil feminine competition?"

He laughed. "Oh no, of course not. I just want what's yours. So if your here to warn me, don't bother, bella, your Angelus already did it." He smirked. "You know, I could have sworn you two were enemies."

"Maybe he knows what side to stay on so he won't get caught in the crossfire? Either way, you've been warned. Continue to fuck with me, and you'll learn the hard way." She stood to leave, when he grabbed her.

"You stupid bitch, you don't get it. You have no choice. Fold! Or be folded. Besides, I think we can find a place for you here, whore!" He whispered in her ear, running his hand over her breast. She punched him in the jaw and heard a crack. He retaliated, with a slap to her face, which split her lip.

"Don't ever touch me. You are lucky I don't kill you myself." She spat and exited the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Benny, radio for the plane to make a stop in New York." Buffy ordered.

An hour later, she got out of her limo in front of Angel's Mansion. She went up to the front door and decided to go around the back and into the kitchen from the side. Pauline, their cook was there, as she had been all those years go.

"Dona?" Pauline gasped, wide-eyed. Buffy ran into her arms and they began to giggle. They reminisced for a while until she told her where Angel was. She took the stairs to his bedroom and didn't bother knocking, but walked in, putting on her angry face.

"So, you're fighting my battles now huh?" She spat. He turned from the window and took a step towards her.

"Who hit you?" He asked, cooly.

"Rileno, he was out of line, I hit him first, put him in his place. Why are you handling my battles?" She asked, seeing his angry gaze at her busted lip.

"Oh so what, you think I was just gonna let that punk have you knocked off and not do anything? Do you listen to me when I speak or do you just pout and think of other things? I love you! Damnit, I breath you. There's no way anyone's taking my 'life supply'. If you die it will be by me. If you are loved it will be by me. There is no other way."

"A little obsessed are we dear Angelus?" She smirked.

"There will always be place for you here, by my side, in front of me, hell I don't care, on top of me. What? What do I have to do?"

"Funny, that's the same thing Rileno said before he felt me up." She smiled. He growled.

"He touched you?"

"Tsk tsk, Angel. That's my business." She grinned, feeling his pain.

"It is MY business. You belong to me."

"Funny, I thought the same thing when you were fucking Katalina's brains out on your wedding night." She said unemotionally. He flinched away and grasped her shoulders.

"I've chosen a new tactic. From now on, you will bring me all your problems, I don't care how small. If anything happens, so help me God, I better know it Dona. You don't care about fighting me to the death, well now you will love me to death instead. I will come to your estate once a week and I will have my people watching your affairs as well as my own. Don't worry about Dawn or Faith, they will be protected also. You're stuck now, besides, your mother already likes me." He finished plainly.

"Do you ever listen to yourself talk? You claim to love me, then you order me around like other Italian wives. I'm not like them, I won't be like them. You have no say in what I do. You wanna have your hand in my shit? Fine! Have fun. I can take care of myself and my family, Angelus. A partnership? Sure, why not? Your wife, never!" She spat, heading toward the door and slamming it shut. She stood on the other side of the door and laughed, quietly. She was gonna make him suffer for this one. She could here him shouting "Damnit Woman!" as she strode down the hall and down the steps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Xander, momma, Dawny and Faith. There are some changes that have been made recently. Conalli and his empire are joining ours. It seems Mr. Angelus has been fighting my battles secretly and will not rest until I except his proposal."

"You mean, you're marrying him? Joyce gasped.

"No mother, never! I mean his partnership. You said I'd need him? Well, now he's here, to stay."

"Gimme a break Buffy. You love him and you know it." Dawn smiled.

"Wait a second, did I miss something here?" Xander asked, confused.

They explained their secret romance to Xander, and their love and the current situation and ended the arguing. Xander was not happy with the secret, yet he understood the place they were at now.

"So, when is he coming?" Xander asked.

"This weekend. He'll stay for a week." Buffy said tersely. "I need to get to Esperanza and get a memo to my men. I should get going. I love you mommy." Buffy said, kissing her forehead.

"I'll see you all at home, later, I guess."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You gentlemen will be staying in the east wing. Roberto will show you 'five' to your rooms." She smiled. Angel's head shot up. 'Five?' No way in hell he wasn't sleeping in her bed. He, Spike, Gunn, Wesley, Doyal and his wife, Cordelia made five. The others followed Roberto to their rooms while Angel stayed back with Buffy.

"You have to be kidding me?" He whined, with his hands over his face.

"Oh? Why would I be, Angelus?"

"I've seen every inch of you, imaginable. I've been inside you where no one could touch you and your making me sleep in a separate room? You're funny, Dona, really." He groaned.

"First off, we're not dating, secondly, you're the only one who's ever been in me and lastly, we're not sleeping in the same room."

"Wait, you've been celibate for 6 years?" He asked, shocked, mouth almost agape.

"Surprised? I never dated after you. I became involved in myself and my family. No more room for heart ache. Besides, I could tell you were the best I'd ever have. You know me and I don't settle for less than that." And she walked away, in her long, white, silk dress which clung to her form. He could here her thin stiletto heals hitting the floor. He sighed and headed to his room. Later that night, he Cordelia and Doyle were walking the gardens and talking about things.

"She's beautiful, Angelus. Much more so than I remember." Cordelia smiled. "She's tough, and very feisty. I think she's perfect for you."

"Yea, you and me both." He grinned. He noticed her across the gardens , on a bench underneath a tree so he excused himself from the group and walked over.

"Dona?" Angel greeted.

"Angelus, what can I do for you?" She asked, not looking up.

"Marry me, have my children and let me take care of you."

"And I repeat, what can I do for you?" She asked, exhausted.

"Spike is smitten with Faith."

"I've noticed. Your point?" She asked.

"None, I just wanted to look at you up close." He grinned.

"Will you ever let me be, Angel?" She sighed.

"Not until you will be mine." He countered.

"You're impossible." She smiled up at him.

"Just give me one chance, Dona. I promise I'll make it worth your while." She smiled back at him and then, blood splattered to her face.

"Buffy?" Angel gasped.

"Angel?" She screamed as he fell to the floor in front of her. Spike and Xander came running from the house to see Buffy holding Angel in her arms, crying. She pulled her gun out of her waist and looked around menacing. Angel was rushed to the hospital by the ambulance with a gunshot to the shoulder. Whoever it had been had a lousy shot. Either that or whoever shot was giving a warning.

She walked into his hospital room to see him sitting up and reading. He looked at her puffy red eyes and slouched figure and saw how sad she was.

"Buffy what is...."

"I give up, you win." She whispered, walking to his bed. She climbed over into his lap and he held her. "I'm yours, I promise. I'm sorry and I love you and I want to let you take care of me. I want us to take care of each other. Angel I'll die if I lose you, okay. So no more fighting." She sobbed into his gown and he held her and sighed with relief.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the time Angel got back to Buffy's, things had really combined. Buffy had truly integrated the forces and she was acknowledging Angel and his crew. He smiled as he spotted the petite blond standing in front of a room of gargantuous men, giving orders. She filled them in on turf and rules and what would be expected. Her tactic was still, not to cross her. She had found out that Rileno and Parkario had bribed one of her men to shoot Angel as a warning. The man was never heard from again. She made it clear that despite her size, she was not to be messed with. He smiled at himself. He had the strongest, most beautiful and passionate woman in the world. Only he knew the scared and sensitive Buffy.

She walked up to her room and shut the door. She leaned against the door and took her hair out of the pony tail and ran her fingers through the silky strands.

"You're adorable." Angel sighed, watching her from the couch.

"Yea, and I'm tired."

"Come here, let me brush your hair." He suggested. She sauntered over and sat in his lap, letting him caress her scalp.

"We've wasted so much time, Angel-face." He smiled at his old nick name as her gentle moans let him know her scalp was being touched right.

"Yes, but we have all the time in the world, now. We will have eternity." He said, kissing her neck and then her shoulder. "You feel so good. You're only for me, always for me."

"Always, never anyone else, always yours." She breathed with her eyes shut and his hands roamed her body. She threw her head back on his shoulder as his hands went up her shirt and over her breast. He kissed her neck again as she tuned her position in his lap to straddle him. Her hands roamed over his chest as she dipped down to kiss his neck and they removed each others shirts.

"I have a meeting in an hour, baby." Angel breathed.

"Oh well, you better reschedule." She smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple of hours later, the three sisters sat in Faith's room talking.

"So, you like Spike, huh?" Buffy asked seriously.

"Yea, I mean, he's handsome and stern but he's a big teddy bear underneath. I see a future there, maybe." Faith smiled.

"Angel seems to think he likes you, too. Have you guys been courting, behind my back."

"Well, I wouldn't say behind your back, Doña. You've been so busy with Angelus that you haven't noticed. I knew." Dawn smiled.

"Well, that just leaves me. What's going on around here? Doña?" A bright red-head asked from the door.

"Willow!" They all screamed in unison. The girls ran to her and engulfed her in hugs and giggles. Willaria or Willow, as Buffy had called her since childhood, was Buffy's best friend. She had been away to college for 2 years and Buffy and she barely had time to talk on a regular basis. Now that Willow was back, they had The Four together. The four woman had a sort of alliance between themselves. They each played a major part in the group and now they would be able to handle anything, with Angel on their side also. They all walked down the hall to Buffy's office and went through a secret door. They all took seats at their desks and started talking.

"Okay, Will, Gotti's trying to take over and he's doing it fast. He knocked out the Palario and Venicci empires and wants mine next." Buffy informed.

"Correction Buffy, they also knocked out the Liotta empire. There isn't much turf left besides some smaller ones that won't pose a threat. We have lots of work to do. First, we need to disarm these snipers." Willow added.

"Should I call my contacts?" Dawn asked.

"Yes, I'll hit the computer and tap into their files. Buffy and Faith, you know what to do."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The plane was ready and Faith sat there zipping up her leather boots. Buffy stood there, in black leather too, waiting for Angel to pick up the phone.

"Hello?" His dark voice rang over the phone and Buffy immediately smiled.

"Angelus, I'm leaving for the weekend. I can't really talk about it right now, but when I come back, I'll explain everything to you. I promise.

"Dona, I'm coming with you. Where are you now?"

"You can't come and besides, I have Faith. Believe me, she's all the back up I need. I swear that I'll explain it to you. There are lots of things you don't know."

"I don't like this, Dona. Remember what I said? You bring problems to me and we deal together."

"Baby, this isn't a problem, I promise. It's not even a meeting. I just, it's just that...I have to explain it to you when I get back. Angel-baby, don't be mad at me. I promise, you'll know everything when I get back."

"You know you'll have to make it up to me, right?" He smiled through the phone.

"Oh, I was counting on it. Bye, I love you." And she hung up. They boarded the plane to Sicily and landed in a secret location. They hopped into a black Corvette and drove to the Gotti Empire. They parked far away and crept onto the compound, unnoticed. That was the easy part. Once they did that, they need to get to the house and more importantly, to Parkario's private office. The two beat the first guards unconscious and went into the house. Once upstairs, they could hear muffled moans of pleasure and what they assumed to be the brother's having fun with two whores. They walked past them and to the office, which was armed with an alarm. Faith phoned Willow and got the security code to make sure they got in unnoticed. Once inside they went over to the desk and went through everything. When they had grabbed all the files needed, the lights flicked on and someone started to clap. It was Rileno and Parkario.

"You know, actually, I thought you'd have been here sooner. I was actually looking forward to killing you." Parkario smiled

"What makes you think I won't walk out of here?" Buffy asked with a smirk.

"Oh, you won't. But the plan has changed. You see, we can call Angelus and have him trade it all for your lives. We both know he will. Then the empires will be mine and um, well you two will be dead. Any questions?" Rileno asked. He picked up the phone and dialed Angel.

"Hello, Mr. Connali? Yes, this is Rileno Gotti. I believe I have something of yours."

"What do you mean? Something of mine? Wait, Dona?" He gasped.

"Well, yea, your whore is here and I must say, she is very pretty. I might try her in a second, but I figured I'd tell the stakes for her life and that of young Faith."

"What do you want?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"To fuck her, kill her and have her empire. Simple as that. But, I think I may skip those and just kill her." He spat, pulling a gun and pointing it at Buffy. He laughed and fired. Angel yelled over the phone and he laughed more.

"Hmm, I wonder which one I just shot? I don't know, but you should make your move quickly." And he hung up. He looked over to Buffy and Faith and they stood there shocked because he had shot his brother in the head.

"Well, I mean, I really didn't need him anyway. I don't need help with ruling. He'd just slow me down. Come women, I will show you to your room."

He shoved them into a well furnished room with two large beds. He threw Buffy on one and moved over her.

"You know, I should have a taste of you. See how much that fuels young Angelus." He smiled.

"He will kill you!" She spat. "He will kill you for touching me."

"You still think this is about you? Dumb bitch. No, you see, I want Angel's empire as well as yours. The only way to do it was through you. He'll do anything for his precious Dona. Yes, he even marry the love of my life to protect you."

"What are you talking about?" She asked, scared.

"Katalina was mine. But she loved Angelus and he loved you. It was known that your father had no sons and you would one day rule. You're a woman, you are weak. Your father knew that your love for him would end your life. He knew all along that you were in love so don't look too surprised. He went to my Katalina's father and to Angel's father. He said that Katalina could have Angel and that the empires would spare his baby's life. Angel agreed because he loved you and couldn't stand the thought of you dead. Sorta poetic when you think about it. Now you will die because my Katalina shouldn't have and I will have all the power."

"You're sick! All this for a woman who didn't love you?"

"Shut your filthy mouth!" He growled, slapping her across the face. Faith came up behind him and hit him over the head. Buffy got up and beat him unconscious too. They hurried off the property and to their car where Buffy fought back tears. She picked up the phone and called Angel. He saw her cell on the ID and hurried to answer.

"Dona? Buffy?" He sobbed.

"Ay, baby, it's me. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm on my way home, okay? I love you so much." She cried.

"Did he hurt you? Did he touch you?" He growled.

"No, Angel, I'm fine. We have a lot to talk about. I'll see you in a few hours." She hung up and pulled the files out of her bag to get ready to get back on the plane. At last she had all the ammo needed to destroy him and his family's reputation.

"That was a close call, B." Faith sighed.

""Yea, Angel's pissed. Can you believe that? What he said in there? I never knew Papa knew."

"I know, me either. Maybe now we know why momma adores him so."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"When their limo pulled up to the door, Angel, Willow, Dawn and Spike stood there to embrace the missing parties. Angel held her so tight, he didn't know if she was breathing anymore. He let her go and kissed her passionately. He released her fully and let her speak with her sisters before turning to him and leading him upstairs.

"What the hell were you thinking Buffy?" He yelled. She ignored him and stripped out of her cloths and put a silk robe over her golden skin. She walked to the mirror and examined her bruise. His hand was fanned across her cheek and she grimaced.

"I've never been hit this many times in the face in such a short period of time." She spoke. Angel came up behind her and slid the robe off and sat back down.

"I like to look at you this way." He said seductively. Once again, she ignored him and kept talking.

"So, Rileno was in love with Katalina, no?" She asked. Angel's eyes grew wide.

"Fuck! He told you? I'm gonna kill that little troll. What else did he tell you?"

"All of it. Every last fucking word Angel. Why didn't you tell me? You let my father's fear keep you from me for 6 years. You bedded a woman you didn't love for 6 fucking years and left me alone because of my life? I'm not weak, Angel. I got out of my mess today, without your help. It's sweet that you did it for me and because you love me, but I was a big girl then. I could make my own decisions and I can make them now."

"You were young, Dona, 18 years old. I had to think with my mind and not my heart."

"Young? Not too young to let you screw me into your bed every night."

"What do you want me to say? Huh? I'm sorry? I made a mistake? I'm not going to say it because I feel that what I did was right. I'd do it again if it meant your life."

"So noble, Angel." He stood and came up behind her and wrapped his arms possessively around her bare waist. "It's in the past, I don't wanna talk about it now."

"Did he touch you, Dona?" He asked, very carefully.

"No, he wanted to, but I told him you'd kill him." She smiled.

"You are right. But I will kill him anyway." He purred into her ear, moving his hand between her thighs and stroking her wet sex with his fingers. She moaned and kissed him, furiously. He dipped two fingers in her waiting hot core and began moving in and out of her, deeply. She moaned into his mouth and slid her hand behind her and to his bulge inside his pants. She stroked him hard through his pants and he moaned in return. Buffy pulled away and turned to him, eyes glossed in lust and jumped to sit on her bathroom counter. She spread her legs wide for him and invited his body between them. It was a beautiful site to him. Her naked, opened wide and wet for him. He devoured her mouth and she worked his cloths off and took hold of his sex in her nimble hands. She stroked him up and down and then guided him to her core. She wouldn't let him enter, instead she teased him with her outer lips. He hissed at her heat and wetness.

"I want to be inside. NOW!" He groaned.

"You've been a bad boy, Angel face. Kept that secret for all these years." He grasped her ass with his hands and impaled her on his solid hardness. She screamed at his size and soon adjusted to him. He moved rhythmically inside her, making sure to go slow and deep with each thrust. She whimpered at his speed and tried to move her hips faster, but he held her hips in place and she bit his bottom lip.

"A little rough, are we?" He moaned.

"Well, you're not being generous with your body, baby." She hissed.

"Oh, you say that now, I'm trying to ration you, so we can do this for hours, and hours and hours." He said lifting her off the counter and carrying her to the bed. "You'll thank me later."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, these are the files you found?" Willow asked, sitting next to Dawn. "We'll get started on these now." She said, moving to her computer. "We'll meet you for lunch in say, two hours?"

"Yea, that's perfect, Will. I'm really glad you're here. Well, I have to go talk to Spike and Angel and tell them about all of this, so they'll be back here in a few." She informed before walking out.

She stepped into her office and signaled for Esperanza to let Spike and Angel enter.

"Hello fellas. I guess you want some answers? Well, here goes. When I was 15, Willow, I, Dawn and Faith began extensive training to form a team. Of course I lead the team, I'm just not the brains of it. Now, last night was a quick mission that we should not have taken, but we did because we were pressed for time. We've never been caught before. Come to think of it, I don't know why I never knew about the secret all those years ago. I snuck into your house a lot, Angel. Anyway, we were all trained in fighting. Me and Faith especially. We were also trained to kill, which shouldn't come as a surprise. Oh yea, before I forget, Rileno killed Parkario last night." Angel's and Spike's mouths fell open. "Anyway, Willow and Dawn are the brains. Willow plots all the routes and arranges everything so we won't be caught, virtually making us invisible. Dawn Researches all targets and schools us on everything we need to know about our target. Willow can get into any system and do ANYthing to it. Dawn can get info on anything, no matter how obsolete and Faith and I can pretty much kill anything on site. Last night, I was going to kill Rileno, when his actions started to take a different toll. I figured, I'd leave him alive to the mess he'd made. I never thought he'd kill his brother and letting him think he had me....gave him time to spill his guts, thus me finding his motives. Anyway, I think it's time you guys see the compound. I don't have to tell you that this place is top secret and no one is to know, so I won't tell you." She smiled and winked. She walked to the wall and said a password and it was verified and the wall slid back, revealing a large room, full of books, computers, mas and files. On a couch sat Dawn with an expresso and Willow going quickly on the computer. Neither looked up.

"Ummm, hello, we have guests?" Buffy said, clearing her throat.

"Oh, sorry, hey guys, make yourselves at home. Faith should be here any minute." Willow said, before looking back to her computer.

"So this is how you rule your empire so solidly. You really are amazing." Angel gasped.

"Yea, well, I still can't believe it. I think I'm in shock. You chicks are like super-bitches." They all turned to glare at him, including Angel, "Only without the bitches part." He fixed.

"Hey, what I miss?" Faith asked, coming through the door.

"Nothing, just gave them the whole 007 story. So what you guys find out so far?" Buffy asked.

"Well, he should be targeting the east warehouses within the next couple weeks, but he plans on knocking you off by this Saturday. We can handle it. We just need him gone. I have it worked out to where we can get him Friday at the benefit in LA. He'll be there and so will we. We can slip out the back around 8-ish, get the job done, and be back on the dance floor by 8:20 max. What do you think?" Willow asked.

"Wait, we have to consider Benito. He'll be there and he's always with him. He's an expert marksman and very observant. You think we can take him?" Dawn asked.

With her back to Dawn, Buffy picked up a knife and threw it at her full force. Dawn caught it, mid air and raised an eyebrow at Buffy.

"I think we can handle them, Dawny." She smiled. "Call Xander, let him know we're going on a mission. Pack some cloths, and Willow get on the plane stuff and I'll go through the sniper guns." She walked off leaving Angel and Spike dumbfounded.

"What the hell is going on here?" Angel muttered to Spike.

"I don't bloody know, but you got me in it. I feel like a deluxe episode of Charlie's Angels." He snorted.

"Does it make you horny?" Angel whispered, staring off.

"Unbelievably!" Spike grinned.

Buffy went into the weapon's room and sighed. She opened the cabinet and began sorting through the various guns and knives. She came to a magnum and set in on the table. She turned back to her cabinet and kept looking. She heard the sound of a door shutting and locking behind her and mistook the person.

"Dawny, no time to help me do this part. I need you packing." s he said, not looking up.

"Sure, I'll pack, but this isn't Dawny." Angel purred seductively in her ear, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing his arousal into her butt. "You know, the funny thing is that normally I would have been furious for the secret and pissed. The thought of my bella, in tight leather and heals with a gun in her hand make me want to pound you into the wall until you cum all over my hands, my face and this." He said, grabbing her hips and pushing them roughly against his shaft.

"One thing I wanna know, lover. What's stopping you?" She purred, turning and licking his lips. She bit his bottom lip, sucking it into her mouth. He growled low in his chest and abused her lips with cruel gentleness. She moaned as his body became flush with hers and he slid his hand into her pants. He found his destination and she sighed, breaking the kiss and throwing her head back. He grinned at this egotistically before continuing his movements. When he felt her release coming, he quickly removed his hand and licked his fingers clean, while she moaned and pouted from his lack of contact. He zipped her back up and walked to the door, leaving her there speechless.

"You wanna finish that I suggest you meet me in our bedroom, bella. I know you need your release and I crave the taste I just got." He purred before leaving the room and heading out.

She sighed and gathered her breath and senses before heading out and facing her team.

"Hey guys, you think you can handle things here for a few hours? There's something 'big' I need to take care of." She began to fidget, slightly, but noticeably.

"Uh huh. and I don't guess it had anything to do with young Angelus' smile, did it?"

"Huh? What, Wh-what did you mean? What did you say?"

"Yea, whatever B, we got it here. Go ahead. Have fun." Faith laughed, and Dona walzed away from them blushing profusely.
