Still locked in a lover's embrace, Angel led Buffy towards the bed. He started undoing the strings to her bodice, while Buffy pulled Angel's jacket from his arms. Buffy moaned softly; as Angel began kissing a trail across her jawline. The bodice began to loosen, and fall of her shoulders. Angel raised his head looking Buffy in the eyes, silently asking did she want to continue. Tears sprang to her eyes, as she nodded her answer. It had been so long for them, and now that they could finally indulge into their passions; it was pure bliss.
"I love you." Angel whispered.
Before Buffy could reply, she was interrupted by Angel's lips on hers. Angel eased her down onto the bed as he deepened the kiss. Buffy moaned at the return of her lover's lips, and began undressing him, as he undressed her. When clothes were no longer a barrier, their souls became one, once again. The light of the moon washed over them, as the lovers lost themselves in a world of intense desire and unconditional love; the intensity ravished them to the point beyond return.
Angel awoke slowly, adjusting his eyes from the embrace of sleep. He laid in bed, contently. He was wrapped with silk, but wrapped in his arms possessively, was the woman he cherished more than his own life. Angel felt invigorated, he felt free; like he could do anything. He felt Buffy's heart beat speed up, and she stirred in his arms. Buffy raised her head, and looked into her lovers eyes. Her heart soared at the thought, she now could once again call him her lover, once more. Laying her head back down upon his chest, she pressed into his body, causing him to tighten his hold on her. No words were spoken, no words needed to be spoken between them; their bond had gotten stronger, and words were not needed to express their love. Anything that needed to be said, was said the night before. Whatever happened, was in the past, and it was going to stay there, without regrets or doubts. It was evident to them by the look of their embrace.
"I'm hungry" She murmured, that was one thing that needed to be said.
"Me too." Angel said, and he began kissing along her face.
Buffy smiled demurely at his teasing, but hunger was really plaguing her. "For food."
Angel nodded, he too was starving. But he could bring himself to leave the bed, and her embrace.
Eventually the lovers retreated from the bed, to dress and have breakfast together, both enjoying each others company. They didn't think about what would happen when they went back to the future and they didn't think of how their relationship would be either. Instead they concentrated on the now, and the wonderful feelings they evoked in one another.
The day was pure heaven for Buffy and Angel, time seemed to go slow for them, just to enjoy the moment. Realizing it was past breakfast time, the lovers decided to enjoy a meal outside. After telling Sarah their plans, she smiled, and went to prepare a basket of fruits, sandwiches, and bread. They went and found a secluded spot with a lake, 2 miles from the mansion. The sun shone brightly, as Angel laid the blanket out and the couple sat down, basically in each other's laps. They ate their sandwiches slowly, every so often feeding each other, and giving each other a gentle kiss.
After they were done, Angel laid back, and Buffy laid down with her head on his chest, entwining her hand with his. He wrapped his arm around her and lightly stroked her arm with his other hand.
"I love you Buffy." He said quietly.
Buffy closed her eyes, those words had given her more pleasure than any amount of intimacy they shared. "I love you." She whispered. Now was the time for peace between them, not heartache, and pain.
When they knew there food had digested, Buffy began to lure Angel into a game of cat and mouse. "How much do you love me???" Buffy said teasingly
"I can't really say...why don't I show you" Angel teased back.
Moving away from where Angel sat. "You have to catch me" She sang
Angel jumped up and the chase began. Buffy and Angel forgot everything,
except each other, to them they were a happily married couple.
