Author's Note: Jyll, here's your debut

Buffy slumped on the couch tiredly.  She and Angel had just finished moving all there stuff into there new place, all there belongings clashed together making their style one.  As it should be.  Now they sat in front of the fireplace, enjoying the place they called home.  Angel glanced at her fanned out on the couch beside him; the amber flames of the fire glowed on her skin.  She looked even more beautiful to him, Angel watched as he brushed a stray lock of hair out of her eyes.  Just something as simple as touching her face made Angel realize how precious she was to him; and he would never cease to let her know.  He got up and pressed play on the near by stereo in the corner, and music began to play.

Its undeniable...that we should be together...
Its unbelievable how I used to say that I found in her...
The places you need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real...
If all things in time, time will reveal...Yeah...

"Dance with me."  It wasn't so much a question as it was a command

As if on autopilot, Buffy placed her hand in his and they were moving to the middle of the room.  On instinct, she slid her arms around Angel's waist and pulled herself close to him.  His hands were soft through the thin material of her top.  He slid them slowly, up and down her back, in a soothing manner.

One...your like a dream come true...
Two ... just wanna be with you...
Three ... girl its plain to see...that your the only one for me...
Four...repeat steps one to three...
Five ... make you fall in love with me...
If ever I believe our work is done....then I start Back at One.(yeah)

So Incredible...the way things work themselves out...
And all emotional, once you know that its all about babe...
And undesirable...for us to be apart...Never would of made it very far...
Cause you know that you got the keys to my heart
Cause...

Buffy rested her head on his chest as their bodies moved together in a rhythm that was uniquely theirs.  He bowed his head, her scent intoxicating him.

Angel's hands began to knead into her body, as he attached his lips to her neck, nipping at the scar that claimed her as his.  Buffy stroked the back of his neck, enjoying the wonderful feelings he was evoking.

One...your like a dream come true
Two ... just wanna be with you
Three ... girl its plain to see..that your the only one for me
Four...repeat steps one to three
Five ... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe our work is done....then I start Back at One......

Angel moved his lips to her lips and kissed her passionaely, there was no thinking between them, only emotions that guided there actions.  Buffy feverishly kisssed back, she began backing them up towards the couch, when her knees touched the edge; Angel pushed her into a horizontal position on the couch, and held her tightly pressed to his body.  Buffy and Angel pulled slightly apart as they recovered their breath, "I love you," he panted.

The two were dizzy from the high of emotion.  Their eyes locked and Angel brought his lips upon hers again, Buffy moaned at the return of his tender lips; he began stroking up her arms, an hooked his fingers into the straps of her top, while Buffy unbuttoned his shirt.

Say farewell to the dark night...I see the coming of the sun...
I feel like a little child..whose life has just begun...
You came and reached into the light, into this lonely heart of mine...
You threw out the life line...just in the Nick of Tiimmmeeee.....

One...your like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl its plain to see..that your the only one for me..girl and...
Four...repeat steps one to three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe our work is done....then I start Back at One.

As the song faded to the end, they held each other even more close, and they did not, could not hold back any longer.  Angel began pulling up her long skirt to hike at her waist, while Buffy began pulling at his belt......

*BANG, BANG!!!!*

The banging at the door shattered the intimacy.  They broke apart, startled and a little dazed.  Angel pulled away, fixing his tousled hair, and buckling his belt, while Buffy sat up on the couch, pulling her skirt down, and fixing the straps on her top.

*BANG, BANG!!!!*

Angel moved off the couch and answered the door, not really surprised in the least to see who stood there.

"SURPRISE!!!!" The entire Scooby gang stood outside the door, gifts in each hand.

Buffy's eyes widened, when she realized Angel's shirt was still unbuttoned. He obviously didn't notice, he was still panting when he asked them all to come in.  Willow, Xander, Anya, and Spike; with a mysterious blonde walked in.  The gang took one look at Buffy, and blushed deeply; she lay on the couch barefooted, her hair was tousled and her lips looked very red.

Clearing her throat.  "Hey guys." Buffy said meekly, getting up from the couch.  Before they answered, Buffy noticed that Spike had someone with him. "Well, Spike, whose your friend."

Spike glowed.  "This is me new mate."  He said proudly, holding the blonde possessively by the waist.

The blonde came from Spike's side, she was a female version of Spike, except for the sky blue eyes.  Her brown eyes, were dark pools, much like Angel's.  "The names Jyll." She said, he accent just as thick as his

Spike grabbed her from behind, and pulled her into his chest.  "My pet"

Xander rolled his eyes.  "Another dumb blonde" He whispered.

Buffy chuckled under her breath.

But Spike and Jyll were not pleased.  "Sod Off!!!!" They replied.

Changing the subject, Willow walked up to Buffy.  "We just wanted to stop by and give you some house warming gifts." She said brightly

Angel smiled and walked up to her, shirt buttoned now; "Thank you Willow."

Willow smiled and held out her gift to Angel.  He took it and motioned for every one to have a seat.  Buffy, Angel, and Willow took the couch the couple had previously occupied, Xander and Anya; the two chairs beside it, and Spike and Jyll occupied the other chair, with Jyll on Spike's lap.  Angel tore off the paper and looked at a framed picture of the whole gang at the beach, excluding Spike for obvious reasons.  They all looked so happy sitting in the sand, the sun beaming down on them.  Angel smiled and set the picture on the table; for the time being.

"Thanks Will." Buffy said, hugging her friend, Angel leaned over and hugged Willow as well.

Xander scooted closer to the couple.  "This is from me and Anya, we think it'll come in handy." He gave them two boxes.

Buffy and Angel opened both boxes and were stunned by the contents.  Buffy pulled out a set of pink handcuffs, and Angel pulled out a set of blue handcuffs.  The two looked at Xander in shock.

"Don't look so surprised." Anya inputed.  "Now you can have crazy kinky sex." She said brightly.

"Too Late." Spike muttered, while he fondled Jyll around the waist.

Willow and Buffy blushed beyond return.

"Um ... thanks Anya, and Xander.  That was a .... thoughtful." Angel stuttered

Angel took the handcuffs and placed them on the table. "Thank you guys, we really appreciate it."

"Wait...Spike has a gift." Xander said.

All eyes went to Spike, no one had even noticed that he and Jyll had begun making out in that chair.  The new couple were going at it hot and heavy.

"Hey!!!!" Buffy yelled, getting there attention.

The two separated, Jyll whined at the separation, and pouted.  Spike stroked her hair out of her face.  "It's all right pet, we'll have fun later."  Jyll immediately brightened up.

"Just give them their gift." Xander said, annoyingly.

Spike tossed a small box, at Buffy. "Happy housewarmin'."

Buffy eyed the box suspiciously, as she opened it.  Her eyes glared at the vampire for this gift.

"What?  I figured it would go with blockhead's gift." Spike said motioning to Xander.

Angel shook his head in embarrassment, as they all looked at the assortment of colored condoms.

Spike smiled brightly.  "Pet here, picked out the colors.  Didn't you baby?" He said, stroking Jyll's face, she nodded her reply and kissed him on the cheek.

Buffy began to get a sickening feeling to her stomach as he watched those two.

***

The gang left around 9pm, Buffy started to clean up the paper, and the boxes scattered on the table.  "Can you believe Xander?  I mean it's not like we'd ever try something like that.  Right??"

When Angel didn't answer, she turned around to see Angel standing there; his shirt unbuttoned and the blue handcuffs dangling from his hands

"I don't know ... it might be fun." Angel smirked.
