planned to have Willow sleep in on of the double beds, Xander and Angel flipping for the
other. Angel wondered if the sleeping arrangements were going to change and he smiled"Hey guys. I need to go out and get a bite to eat" Angel interrupted their involvement
with each other. Xander spun around with a shocked expression on his face. "I need to
go find the stockyards. It will probably take me the rest of the night. I'll be back before
dawn."Willow turned around and Angel was gone. She looked at Xander suddenly aware they
were in a hotel room alone.Xander felt a weakness upon him and then he fell forward onto the bed in a faint.
Alarmed, Willow turned him over to reach for a pulse at his neck only to find his
matching vampire bites. The one on the right was small and not very bruised. The bite on
the left was an angry tear, bruising tissue underneath starting to turn an angry purple."Xander!" Willow cried trying to arouse him. She was frantic. Xander had obviously
been injured in her rescue and she didn't even know it!Xander opened his eyes and looked up into Willows anxious eyes. She looked so lost and
so forlorn. She was so beautiful. He reached up and grabbed the back of her head
and pulled her down into a soul-searching kiss.Willow felt his lips on hers, so soft, so gentle. He kissed her and then ran his tongue
across her lips. She parted them in surprise, and he darted his tongue into her mouth and
ran it across her teeth. She moaned and opened her mouth entirely to his advances
willingly, and he plundered the depths of her mouth, claiming all within as his. She sucked
gently on his tongue wanting to bring him into her, and Xander moaned.Xander couldn't believe the sweetness of her kisses. This wasn't lust like he had with
Cordelia, this was love and it was with his Willow. She sucked on his tongue and all he
could think about was how would it feel to have that mouth sucking another part of him.
How would it feel to have another part entering such a moist warm spot?Xander ran his hands up her back and slowly around her front until her breasts were in
his hands. He didn't think of what he was doing, his body was just did what it needed to
do.Willow moaned. This was what she had dreamed about, fantasized about. Now she held
him in her arms and was kissing him and he was kissing her and she was in heaven!Xander's mind was involved, and Willow’s touch and embrace captivated him. His body
however wasn't tolerating the bloodless very well. He wasn't coming up to function
to take it any farther with Willow. In a way he was grateful. He didn't really want to
rush things."I love you Willow. I think I have always loved you." He pulled her tightly into his
embrace and snuggled into her hair. "I realized it now, and I hope it isn't too late for you
to forgive me" He looked down into her eyes as she looked up from his chest, her love
shining in her eyes. He hugged in thanks.That was how Angel found them when he returned later. They were laying on top of the
of the bed covers, fully dressed, wrapped in each others arms, Willows head on his chest.
Angel smiled at them as he laid down on the other bed next to them and let oblivion take
him.
