A Slayer's Birthday

Author: Nightengale Disclaimer: Buffy and the gang do not belong to me. I'm only borrowing them for this story and promise to return them unharmed. BTVS characters and universe are properties of Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, the WB, etc. No money is being made here. Spoiler: Just a tiny bit from "Helpless" Author's Note: Just wanted to give Buffy a happier 18th birthday. I thought it was cruel of Joss to have her suffer two years in a row. This is my first attempt at adult fanfic and need feedback. roinurse@inf-net.com

Buffy walked the familiar route to the Mansion in quiet reflection of her upcoming birthday. Her mind wondered back to her 17th birthday and the horrors associated with that day. It will forever be remembered as the day she lost her innocence and her beloved Angel. Life was never the same and she endured the cruel reality of it all. The only birthday wish she dared to think about was to spend a quiet ordinary day away from the Hellmouth. The sun was setting and she knew Angel would be waiting for her at the Mansion. She has been thinking about this all day and could not contain her mix feelings of joy and angts. The thought of almost loosing Angel again made her heart ache. <Thank God for that small miracle. I had the best Xmas gift ever, a day with Angel and snow. > No matter what happens; they'll always be there for each other. Buffy entered the Mansion and was greeted by a spectacular sight. The room was lit with candles in various places and a roaring fire. In the center of the room, a blanket was laid out for a floor picnic. An array of fruits, cheese, baguettes and bottled water caught her eye. She continued her inspection of the room and laid eyes on the man who took her breath away. "I thought you might be hungry...so I put a little snack together." Angel closed the gap between them. "Should we eat or do some training first?" His superhuman hearing noticed the growl from her stomach and did not wait for a reply. He motioned for her to sit on the pillows that he carefully laid out for them. "Wow, this looks great. You didn't have to go through all this trouble ya know." She sat down nervously on the pillow across from him. <Relax girl, he just wants to feed you, not seduce you. Not that seduction would be a bad thing.>

Angel observed her body language as he poured her a glass of Perrier. He did not intend to make her nervous and tense. He had asked her to come train but really wanted to give her an early birthday gift. Buffy felt even more uncomfortable feeling Angel's eyes on her while she ate. She noticed that he drank the Perrier and nibbled on a few grapes. She remembered how he drank non-blood things but has never seen him eat before. < God he looks good enough to eat!> Angel was entranced watching her eat. He tried not to stare but he couldn't help himself. He could feel her heartbeat racing, see her skin flush and feel the warmth radiating from her body. <Keep this up and you'll be on top of her before she knows what hit her. > He decided to eat a handful of grapes to make her feel more comfortable. They completed their meal in virtual silence, afraid of disclosing what's on their mind. They began their training with Tai Chi to refocus their energy. The couple performed the movements in perfect unison, showing a strikingly handsome couple. He tall dark and handsome to her petite blond and fair complexion. Buffy tried to concentrate on the Tai Chi movements. She could not help occasionally staring at Angel's naked flesh of his shirtless body. The flex and relaxation of his muscles, the well-defined chest, the taut stomach and his luscious ass hidden behind his sweat pants. She almost let out a lusty growl but stopped it before it escaped her lips. Angel was also having a difficult time concentrating. <Why did she have to wear those tight fitting lycra leggings and that low cut tank top. > He caught glimpses of her ample breast and pert nipples through the thin material; and could not stop the memories flooding his brain. It was only a year ago that they made love. So long to be without her. The feel of her skin against his. The memories of him caressing and sucking her magnificent breast. He was painfully aroused and took deep breaths attempting to calm himself. The warm up was complete and the training progressed to a full slayer/vampire fight. Angel decided to test her defense tactics and pinned her to the ground. <God he even smells good when he's all sweaty> Buffy thought as she rolled him over her. She felt the moisture at her core just from the close contact. Angel tried to keep his mind on the battle but was distracted by her scent; sweat mixed with that unforgettable scent of arousal. The battle was an equal match blow for blow; but in the end Buffy used her resourcefulness and sideswiped him, causing Angel to land on his back. She rolled to the blanket, grabbed a baguette and straddled him at the waist. Buffy staked him with the baguette. "Gotcha!" she stated breathlessly.

Angel murmured "right in the heart" to a smiling Buffy. The feeling of her against him stirred up memories of their first time and the sex dream over Christmas. Memories weren't the only things being stirred up, as he felt the pressure of her sex on his abdomen. "Satisfied?" She regretted the word the minute it left her mouth but remained straddling him. "Ah..that's not the word I would use." Angel stated trying to calm himself with little success. Buffy sensed Angel's body tenses and felt his erection pressing up her ass. "Well Lover, maybe this will satisfy you." She teased while grinding her ass on his hard cock. She bent down and captured his lips with a hungry kiss. Their tongues dueled ferociously; releasing months of sexual tension and frustrations, they've repressed since his return from hell. Angel reluctantly broke off the kiss, allowing Buffy the much needed air. "Buffy are sure about this?" He stated trying to gain some control of the situation. "We can't.. the curse...must stop this now." It was nearly impossible forming sentences as Buffy began to grind her ass on his cock again. Buffy continued to straddle him and gave him a seductive smile. "Willow gave me an early birthday present today." She crooned while bending back down to kiss him. "The curse was slightly altered." She whispered and then licked his lips. "The happiness clause was removed." Buffy invaded his mouth once again and coerced him to a tongue duel. It took Angel a minute to soak in the information as his body dealt with the sexual onslaught Buffy was delivering. He broke the kiss again and gave her a dumb founded look. "I can't loose my soul again?" His eyes explored her face for an answer. Buffy again gave him another seductive smile. She seared his lips with a sweet kiss. "Nope! She stated plain and simple. "You promised to give me my birthday present early." She crooned at him, while reaching down to caress his hard cock through the sweat pants. "So, can I open my gift now?" Angel's eyes rolled back and a growl emanated from his throat in response to Buffy's loving ministrations. His last bit of self-control snapped at that moment. He flipped them over and took control. Angel began a trail of kisses down her neck and shoulders and paused only to remove her clothing. Buffy held her breath in anticipation. Her body shivered and nipples hardened in response to his cold skin. She sighed a breath of relief and pleasure, as Angel alternately suckled her breast. "OH YES!" was all she her mind could think of to say. The pleasure inside her was building, aching to be released.

Angel smiled at Buffy's response. He was determined to give her nothing but pleasure tonight. He continued his trail of kisses down to her most secret place. He took in her aroma, the sweet honey scent of her arousal that was purely Buffy. Buffy's mind and body surrendered totally to the pleasure. Her skin glistened with sweat and flushed from the warmth of passion. She bit her lips in feeble attempts to stop the moans. "Angel...please...I want to come with you.." She pleaded while reaching for him and trying pull him back up. Angel reluctantly released her and pulled off the remainder of his clothing. He kissed her gently on the lips. "Say it again." He pleaded while positioning himself. "I want you..need you inside me." She felt him at her entrance. "Please Angel make love to me." He entered her with gentleness knowing that she has only done this once. Angel felt her tear slightly as he filled her and waited until she grew accustomed to him. She was so tight and wonderful. <No one has ever felt this good. > He felt as sense of completeness and homecoming, which he has only felt once with their first time. He began with gentle strokes, stoking her fire slowly. Buffy felt the slight pain at first, which was completely forgotten as her pleasure began to build again. She felt whole and at peace for once. She wrapped her legs around his hips allowing him deeper accesses. She stroked his back, encouraging him to increase the speed, as she neared orgasm. Angel felt her near the edge and wormed his hand between their bodies. He found her bundle of nerves and worked his magic. Buffy's body tensed and relaxed as the powerful climax overwhelmed her completely. Eyes clenched shut, she saw only stars. She opened her eyes and saw the need on his face. It was the need to be closer and be joined in another way. Buffy turned her head to reveal her creamy neck; demonstrating her complete trust and love for him. Angel morphed into game face. "I love you Buffy." He whispered before sinking his teeth into her neck. He sucked gently, tasting and savoring her slayer's blood like fine wine. Angel came as he continued to drain her. Buffy climaxed for a second time from the double invasion. This was the first he has ever bitten her and she enjoyed it. This was another form of intimacy. They were one; heart beating as one. She was his completely; mind, body and soul. They remained joined on the floor; completely spent from their love making, the slayer and her vampire lover. He released her and morphed back to his human visage. "Buffy are you OK?" He asked with love and concern, feeling slight guilt. He licked the bite mark methodically.

She saw the look of remorse on his face and wanted to ease his guilt. "I'm fine." Buffy lovingly smiled at him. " That was fantastic!" She caressed his face and pulled his head down for a kiss. "I love you Angel, all of you including the demon inside you. I never thought I would enjoy that, you feeding on me but I felt even closer to you. It's like intimacy on another level." He felt relieved and touched by her words. "It wasn't bloodlust." He whispered as he brushed locks of hair from her face. "I needed to be closer to you than we've ever been. I love you so much." He swooped down and seared her lips with a kiss, expressing how he felt. They moved to his bed and laid their holding each other silently. Their bodies entwined, they continued to gently caress each other; committing every part to memory. She began to giggle. "What's so funny?" Angel stated as he nuzzled her neck. "I was just thinking how much I enjoyed my early birthday presents." Buffy stated while giving him a smug look. He stopped his nuzzling and gave her a sheepish look. "Remind me to send Willow a thank you card." Buffy giggled some more. "I already did. She said no thanks are necessary, as long as we give each other a HAPPY." She gave him an inquisitive look. "I wonder if she meant only one 'HAPPY'. No I don't think she meant it literally." Buffy fained an innocent look but could not contain the giggles. Angel smiled at her comment and kissed her tenderly. "I'll gladly give you as many 'HAPPY' as you want." He teased her. He noticed the clock on his nightstand. It was after midnight and he completely forgot about her gift. He rolled over and reached for her gift in the nightstand. "Happy Birthday Buffy" he stated while handing her the wrapped gift. She opened the box excitedly. It contained a small book of poems with inscriptions and her claddaugh ring. "My ring! Where did you find it?" "Here at the mansion. I found it on the floor, right after I got back from hell." He looked into her eyes and saw the tears forming. "It's OK Buffy. It's the past and we had no control over the events that took place. We can't change the past but now we have our future ahead of us." He kissed her tears away. Angel took the ring and placed it on her left ring finger. "I love you Buffy." She leaped into his arms and kissed him. "I love you too. I promise no matter what happens, we'll be together. Thank you Angel for making this the best birthday ever." They made love again, needing to feel connected and whole. They were soul mates,

forever linked by a bond that could never be broken. The perfect match, one completing the other and lost without the other. They laid there in each other's arms, in peaceful sleep the slayer and her vampire lover; secure in the knowledge that no matter what, they were destined to be together.

The End
