A note from Menomegirl~I’m dedicating this chapter to one of our readers, whose name is Vicki. She knew I was upset about the way ATS was going to end. To make a long story short, she cheered me up by bringing a copy of my fanfiction *A Defining Moment* to the Chicago con with her. I’d told her not to, but she did it anyway. She asked Christian Kane to sign it for me. I’d told her he wouldn’t sign it. Well, much to my shock, Chris did sign it. Vicki sent me pictures of him signing it, and I should have the fic in my hands in a day or so. I want y’all to know, I worked damn hard on making this chapter as perfect at I could, drove Cindee insane with it. I've sweated every fricking word. I knew some of our readers were dedicated to this little story of ours, but I had no idea one of them would go above and beyond like that because I got so upset. It was also very nice of Chris Kane to sign it for me.
I’m moved beyond words.
Thank you with all my heart, Vicki.
I second her thank you and hope you enjoy this chapter. ~Cin

Chapter 30
Confrontations
Wesley stared at the vampire standing before him. “Would you mind repeating that?”
Spike calmly replied, “Lindsey’s been dealing with both Angel and Angelus all along. That’s why he can’t see a difference between them.”
Wesley laughed. “Spike, that’s the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard you say. That’s like saying black and white are the same.”
Spike shook his head, placed hid hands on the former watcher’s desk, and leaned forward. “You’re not getting it, Headboy. I’m telling you what I saw with my own eyes. If I’d been here to see them interact with each other before, I’d have noticed it right off the bat. I know my grandsire. I can feel him, the same way I feel Drusilla, and I’m telling you, Angelus has been toying with Lindsey like a cat with a mouse. Only Lindsey’s not the mouse Angelus believes him to be. He can’t be broken like Drusilla was. He’ll bite back, because he has control over my grandsire, and the fool boy doesn’t even know it.”
“So, basically, you’re telling me....Angelus could come out at any given time, and what? Slaughter us all?” Wesley said, thinking how real the possibility that what Spike was saying was true.
“No, I don’t think so. Not this time,” Spike said, thinking about that scene in Angel’s office. Angelus taking his blood, Lindsey defending him, and then tasting Spike himself. The vampire shivered with low arousal. “This time....it’s about family. It’s about who....no, not who...what Lindsey is, about his blood, his attraction to vampires. Lindsey McDonald is one of the human race that vampires call the Secular Caste.”
Wesley’s forehead wrinkled as he remembered something Lindsey had told him. Vampires have a thing for me....I have a thing for them.....there’s even a term for it, but I can’t remember what it is. ” He muttered, “So....Lindsey’s like....a vamp magnet, in other words?”
Spike grinned. “That’s right, Watcher. Only, it seems, for some reason, Lindsey has a real affinity with our little family. It’s almost as if he was born to become one of us. It’s going to happen, nothing we can do to stop it. Our problem has now become how to find a way for Lindsey not to lose his soul when it happens. That’s what Angel wants you to work on now, as fast as you can."
“What about Angel’s soul? Is Lindsey a threat to that or not?” Wesley wondered.
Spike shook his head no. “Don’t think so, not since they mated. I feel them. So can you, I saw it in your face earlier. They’re bound, in a way Dru and I never were. It’s different, somehow. I believe the curse has been voided by the claiming. Here’s the rub: Lindsey doesn’t believe in curses. Using gypsy magic on him would be a wasted effort. You need to find another way.”
Wesley thought about everything. Spells, curses, Lilah. And Eve. Wolfram and Hart itself. The resources that were here. Surely there was something on all of this. He stood up and told Spike, “Come with me. We’re going to research the hall of records.”

___________________________________
Something was different. He sensed it, but couldn't pinpoint its origin. It was as if someone else was in the room, as if someone else had joined them. Looking quickly around the room and finding nothing, Lindsey looked down at the man laying face down on the bed. Laying his hand on Angel's back, he felt his lover trembling and shaking. Alarmed, Lindsey grabbed Angel's shoulder and pulled him up, trying to turn the vampire over.
“Angel…are you okay?” Lindsey managed to get him turned over, only to have his senses shocked at the smile on his lover's face, at the silky laughter coming from him. At the indefinable difference in the vampire's eyes. He could still *see* Angel, but now he could glimpse something else in those brown eyes, as well. The beginnings of doubt entered his mind, and "Angel?" he softly asked.
"Nope. He's gone, left me in charge," Angelus said, as he slid off the bed and idled up to Lindsey, who was still on his knees. Bending slightly, the vampire sinisterly whispered into Lindsey's ear..."Still want to play?"
Lindsey’s mind went blank, utterly unable to process what he'd just heard. The only thing in his mind were echoes of Wesley and Spike saying Angelus would kill him, were he set free. And in that brief chaotic moment between knowledge and acceptance, fear blossomed in Lindsey, and he acted without thought. He was off the bed and almost at the door before Angelus stopped him, rough hands grabbing him, turning him around and slamming Lindsey back against the door. “Uhhh,” Lindsey groaned. And the fear instantly evaporated, because hey, wasn’t that familiar? He looked into the vampire’s face, narrowing his eyes in suspicion, because that had actually felt just a little too familiar.
Angelus grinned. “That’s right, lover. You know me. You’ve felt me before. You’ve seen me before. You just didn’t know it. Didn’t believe. And now that Angel’s gotten a happy, and decided to check out for awhile, I thought I’d introduce myself. Make you believe. I’m Angelus. Nice to meet you. Now, let’s fuck.” He leaned down to take those lips in a kiss, only to find himself held at bay when Lindsey placed both hands on his chest, stopping him.
“Woah! Get the hell off me! You just can’t come at me like that, are you insane?” Lindsey blurted out, shock reverberating through him at the attempt. “What....because Angel loses his soul, you think I’m supposed to put out for you? What the fuck!”
Angelus snorted. “He didn’t lose the damn soul. It’s still here, inside of me, thanks to both of you claiming each other as mates. Your souls are bound, dumbass. Congratulations, you thwarted the curse. Yay you! Are we through talking now? Cause I’ve only waited like three fucking years to get my hands on that luscious body of yours. Don’t know how long I have. Don’t care to waste what time I do have talking instead of fucking you.”
Relief flooded his system, Lindsey closed his eyes, and whispered “He didn’t lose his soul.” But that relief was short-lived as the rest of what Angelus had said registered in Lindsey’s mind. The rapid way the vampire was managing to confuse him was disconcerting, to say the least. He frowned. “What the hell makes you think I’d ever want you?”
Angelus grinned and winked. “Oh, you want me, lawyer boy. A part of you always has, that’s why you see me when you look at him. Why you couldn’t believe. We’re one and the same to you, isn’t that right?”Angelus leaned into Lindsey, pressing forward despite the younger man’s attempts to hold him back. He inhaled deeply, then smiled evilly. “Your heart is beating like a drum, Lin, and your blood is pounding in your veins. It’s not fear that’s causing it, either. It’s called want- you want me- and I can smell it on you, always could. Your reaction to danger is quite interesting, Lindsey.” He paused, waiting for the younger man to challenge what he’d said. When it appeared Lindsey wasn’t going to, Angelus laughed and said, “See? This whole being honest thing is a pain in the ass, when you can’t even lie to yourself any longer.”
Lindsey was indeed rendered momentarily speechless. He couldn’t refute what Angelus had said, because it was the truth. He did want him. Not only that, but he was breathing rapidly, and his body had gone haywire on him. Again. Oh, what a surprise. He felt as if he should go all whiney like a slayer, but he still felt Angel in there. He was there, Lindsey could almost see him, the exact same way he’d sensed Angelus underneath the facade of Angel. They really were one and the same to him. He looked into the darkness of those brown eyes he loved, and found that he just couldn’t lie. “God, I’m so fucking twisted,” he muttered.
Angelus laughed. “Yeah, you are. I like you that way. Now, c’mon, Lin. I want a taste,” he said, bending his head to kiss the younger man. He was surprised when Lindsey kissed him back, open mouthed, hot, wet kisses that had a hint of desperation to them. And Lindsey’s hands went around him, pulling Angelus into full body contact, hard hands that kneaded his back, nails digging into him. Angelus moaned. Lindsey whimpered. The vampire raised his head to look at him, and he saw what he’d expected to. Lust. Want. Need. Total confusion. He grinned crookedly, and answered the unasked question in Lindsey’s eyes. “Angel good. Angelus bad.”
“Yeah huh,” Lindsey said, shakily. “I get that. But shit....it feels the same to me. Angel must have known it would. Damn, I should be fighting this, fighting you....and fuck, I guess he knew this would happen, or he’d have fought harder to stay in control.” He looked up at the vampire, wishing like hell he could turn away from him. “You know, something about this is just not right, Angelus. I know it, but I just can’t....not.....want you.”
“Whatever you say, Lin. That works for me,” Angelus said. He raised his hand to softly caress the side of the younger man’s face. “Now, then. I’m going to ride you like you wanted Angel to earlier, and since you appear to be rather dominating yourself, I feel it’s only fair to tell you, I’m always on top, Lindsey. Your only choice here is in how you want to take it, on your knees or on your back. And I want to hear you say my name when you come.”
Lindsey fought a surprisingly brief war between outrage and amusement, then he grinned, and couldn’t resist teasing Angelus. “Oooh, I get it. I’m a master vampire. Nobody fucks me. You don’t even know what you’re missing. But, hey....whatever. You wanna get it on, I’m game. Who’s on top doesn’t matter to me, as long as I come. I’ll even try to call you by your name, but I wanna make it clear right now, I’m not calling you Master....or Sire.....or Daddy, like that nutcase Drusilla. Understand?”
Angelus grinned, shaking his head. “We’re almost too much alike, I swear. Maybe that’s why I like you so much. You know, I really respect your dark side, Lindsey. Every time you tried to kill Angel, I liked you a little bit more. Even though you failed miserably, you just kept right on trying, senior partners be damned. You had the souled prick so fucked up, he even let Darla loose on those lawyers. I never would have thought he had it in his soul to let Darla free like that. And you just stood there, smiling when he shut the doors. That took guts, Lindsey. I think that’s the minute I.....”
Lindsey waited, but when it looked like Angelus wasn’t going to continue, he asked, “The minute you what?”
The vampire’s gaze sharpened, and he said, “The minute I decided not to kill you.” Lindsey closed his eyes in relief. He hadn’t truly been that worried, because he’d sensed he wasn’t in that much danger. It was just.....nice to hear it out loud. Then Angelus bent down, whispered into his ear, “Don't worry, lover. I'll probably take a taste or two, but I won't kill you. Angel gets that privilege. He marked you. It's his right. And something tells me - it's gonna be soon."
Thrown off-guard again, Lindsey whispered shakily, “What makes you say that? Why would Angel want to kill me?”
“Not kill, turn. Thought you did the research, Lin.,” Angelus teased him. “Not that I know from personal experience, but I’ve seen it happen to others. Blood play between mates can get……intense. The need to feed from each other eats at you, makes your skin itch, makes your body burn. You've already felt it, haven't you? You've fed from him, even before you two claimed each other. It's addictive. A habit you can't break. He’ll have to turn you, in order to keep you. Either that, or risk killing you……and personally –– your permanent death –– not an option for me.”
Lindsey snorted, unconvinced. “I thought death was your forte. Your passion, your art, your goal in life. What makes me so damn special, that you don’t want me to die?” He asked, while inside, his brain said My God, would you just SHUT THE FUCK UP? Are you TRYING to make him kill you, you stupid shit?
“That’s my business, Lin. Now –– I’m done talking.” Angelus leaned over and began purring in Lindsey’s ear. “Come on, it’s my turn to feel that gorgeous ass squeezing my cock, Lindsey.” Placing biting kisses down Lindsey’s neck, making the younger man shiver, the vampire whispered, “I want to feel that heat that you share with Angel.” As if to emphasize his point, Angelus moved in and molded his body around Lindsey’s. “That need you feel to have him inside. Why should Angel get to have all the fun and besides, I thought you wanted to play.” And with those words, Angelus slid his fangs into Lindsey’s neck.
“ANGELUS!” Lindsey screamed, pure unadulterated desire racing through his body, as he arched into the bite.
=================================
What the hell? Gunn froze at the door to the penthouse. He had come up to talk to Angel about his lack of finding anything on Lindsey’s contract and was just about to knock when he heard the scream through the door. Was that Lindsey? And did he just say Angelus? Gunn pressed his ear to the door, listening for more signs of trouble from within. Hearing nothing, he dropped his hand on the door knob and turned, pausing when he found it unlocked. Okay, man. Wait a sec. Think this through. You got no weapon - not even a pencil - so if Angel did lose his soul and the big ugly is eating Lindsey, what can you possibly do, except provide him with dessert?
Hearing another pained moan coming from behind the door, Damn it! I gotta do something! Slowly opening the door, he peeked his head into room. Seeing nothing wrong, he silently slid into the room.
Looking around for blood, broken furniture, anything that showed signs of a struggle and finding none, Gunn quietly headed towards the bar to a weapons chest he knew Angel kept there. Thank you, Angel. Most people would hide weapons in their bedroom–you hide them behind the bar. Must be some good Irish whiskey back there.
"I’m not tellin’ you jack. Unnnh....that burns.....slow down.....Angelus," Gunn froze in shock as Lindsey’s voice floated from the bedroom. Ok, there’s that name again....only this time it’s...different. Easing towards the doorway, Just need to see that Lindsey’s okay –– that’s all.
"Oh, fuck me," Lindsey’s voice filters out, a little rougher, more gravely than normal, but lacking fear.
"I will Lin, don’t doubt that." Angel’s voice follows, laden with silk, steel and menace.
Shit! That is Angelus and he’s about to kill Lindsey. Fuck! Gunn began easing his way down the wall towards the bar when Lindsey screamed again
=================================
“That’s it, Lindsey. Scream my name. Beg for me, lawyer boy,” Angelus said, slowly moving them back across the room, not stopping until he felt the bed against the back of Lindsey’s legs. “So.....how do you want it, lover? On your back or on your knees? You got 10 seconds to decide.....tick......tock.....ten!”
Angelus moved so fast , the next thing Lindsey knew, he was face down on the bed and a very horny vampire was positioning his body the way he wanted it. Well, so much for that fucking choice. But Lindsey didn’t say that, because he was a little afraid, which was probably a good thing. After all, he hadn’t believed, and yet here he was, on his knees, about to be royally screwed by one of the most notoriously vicious vampires in history. Don’t you just love the irony in that? Ha fuckin’ ha. I’d bet money wherever Lilah is, she’s laughin’ her fuckin’ ass off. And yes, okay, so he’d agreed to it, but shit....Angelus looked like Angel....well, hell.......he felt like Angel. Oh, damn.....he was so fucking confused by this shit.
“Well, well. What have we here, Lindsey?” Picking up the jar of ointment that Lindsey had used on Angel earlier, Angelus laughed. “Vicks Vaporub? That’s what the hell that was? Shit, Lin..... that felt really good. In case you couldn’t tell, Angel loved it.” Angelus opened the jar and dipped two fingers inside, then began to tease Lindsey’s tightly puckered hole. “Although.......he was wondering where you learned that trick. You wouldn’t wanna tell me, would you? I’m kind of curious myself, to tell the truth.” Angelus said, as he slid his lubed fingers inside the young man’s body.
“I’m not tellin’ you jack. Unnnh....that burns.....slow down.....Angelus,” Lindsey hissed. “Fuck!” He felt his body relaxing around Angelus’ fingers, his cock twitching in reaction to the burn, and he suddenly realized he’d never lost the erection at all. Oh, great. That’s just fucking great. Do you think he.....yeah, you stupid fuck, you know he knew! “Really interesting reaction to danger.” Riiiiiiiight. “Oh, fuck me,” Lindsey groaned in reaction to that thought, grabbing a pillow, burying his face in it. He was blushing furiously.
“I will Lin, don’t doubt that.” Angelus said, slipping another finger in, stretching Lindsey a little more, deliberately avoiding the young man’s prostate. No way is he going to come before me. “Shit, Lindsey. You’re so hot, so damn tight inside. I can’t wait to get in there.” Using his free hand, Angelus began coating his cock with the ointment. Removing his fingers and placing his cock against Lindsey’s opening, Angelus paused, leaned over and whispered in the young man’s ear, “Now we’re gonna play.” And with one hard thrust, Angelus buried himself in Lindsey’s heat.
“DON’T……ANGELUS!” Lindsey screamed as he felt Angelus slide in, a smooth but painful move. He felt his body giving in to the invasion, wrapping itself around the vampire, pain mixing with pleasure as Angelus began pumping in and out of him with deep, slow, measured strokes. Lindsey groaned as the sensation of being taken overcame him. This was what he’d wanted, waited for all day, and his body didn’t seem to care that it wasn’t Angel who was fucking him, Lindsey thought maybe he didn’t care, either. He let passion take him over, tired of trying to think, when this felt.......so......damn.....good. “Oh, God……don’t……stop……Angelus……don’t stop,” he softly moaned.
Angelus chuckled. “Wasn’t planning on it, Lindsey,” the vampire said, as he dug his fingers into the young man’s flesh, and began pumping faster within him. They were so close, he could feel Lindsey’s heart beating, heard the sigh the young man made as he subsequently began moving his body in time with him. Angelus moaned at the feeling of this boy moving under him, at the glorious sensation of being clenched from inside-however unconsciously Lindsey was doing it-because Lindsey was softly moaning, too. Angel was right-the raspy sound of Lindsey’s voice in passion was the sexiest thing Angelus had ever heard, too.
Lindsey knew he was going to have bruises from Angelus’ fingers digging into him, but he didn’t care. The slick slide of that cock pumping in and out of him, rubbing his prostate with every damn stroke was all he knew in that moment. He was so close to coming, it was all he wanted to know. Lindsey started bucking his body into Angelus faster, harder....as he groaned, and bit down on the pillow to stop himself from begging the vampire to fuck him harder. Because.....He.....Wasn’t........Gonna......Do.......That. No fucking way. And he didn’t just squeal like a girl, either. That noise hadn’t come out of him. Really. It hadn’t. Neither did that.
Lindsey bit down on the pillow harder.
Angelus was glad Lindsey couldn’t see his face, because he was grinning manically. Lindsey was fun to play with., and Angelus planned on having a lot of fun with him, while he could. Making him beg sounded like great fun to be had. Oh, yeah. He reached one arm around to take Lindsey in hand, and Angelus had to bite his lip to stop himself from laughing at the muffled noises the young man made, the way his body shuddered at his touch, at the almost frantic way Lindsey was moving under him. He moved his hand to stroke Lindsey, once, twice, and he felt the contractions begin inside the young man as his climax approached. Angelus slammed into Lindsey, spilling his seed into him as the orgasm tore through his own body. At that same time, Angelus clamped his hand tight around the base of the young man’s cock, effectively cutting off Lindsey’s climax in one swift move.
Lindsey screamed.
====================================
Gunn’s hand tightened on the crossbow in his grip at Lindsey’s pained scream. He was at somewhat of a loss as to what to do at the moment. He knew that the two men in the other room were having sex. It sounded both consensual and extremely erotic, which only added to his confusion as to what his next move should be.
Standing outside the door meant that he missed almost nothing. He could hear almost every word, every laugh, every moan, every gasp. He almost believed that if he held his own breath –– he would be able to hear skin slide against skin and whispered words dropped in open mouths, before being swept back out again with wet, urgent tongues.
And what’s that smell? Smells like that Vick’s vapor rub stuff. What the hell are they doing with that? “Unnnh....that burns.....slow down.....Angelus.” Ohhh. That’s what he meant? Sooo not going there! I can’t believe I’m listening to this. Shit!
“Don’t. . .Angelus!” Snapped back into reality at Lindsey’s scream, Gunn plastered himself against the wall behind him and tried to process everything he’d heard so far. Which he had to admit, wasn’t much thanks to the auditory visuals flooding his brain, although one thing rang out loud and clear.
Angelus was back! And in the process of making Lindsey his boy toy for the moment.“Oh God.......don’t......stop.....Angelus.....don’t stop.”
And evidently, Lindsey doesn’t mind. Sick little fucker! What the hell did Lindsey do to Angel that set Angelus free? I knew having him here was going to be a bad idea. Now he’s brought Angelus back down on us.
Wincing at Lindsey’s next scream, Gunn reflexively took another step towards the doorway, then paused. Wait a sec. I’m about to go in there and risk my ass to save Lindsey’s? Why? That little shit brought this down on himself. So what if Angelus kills him, he’s getting what he deserves, right? Shit! Where’s Wesley when I need him? Rechecking the bow in his hand, Gunn turned back towards the door when Angelus’ next words stopped him cold.
"Uh uh. I’m not through with you yet, Lin. Shh. Calm down. You know I’m not going to kill you and I’m not hurting you, am I?"
"Yes.......No....I don’t know.....why the hell did you do that?"
Sonofabitch! Lindsey’s working with Angelus? Easing himself back away from the door, Gunn began planning his way back out of the room.
"Angelus, please. I can’t.....can’t take much more. I.....please."
"Please......what, Lindsey?"
"Please.....make me come....please. Take me, suck me, fuck me into the mattress, I don’t care......just please, please, please let me come."
Gunn felt himself blush and was thankful for Lindsey’s next scream. Taking another glance at the bedroom doorway to make sure he was clear, Gunn quickly moved to the door, and eased his way out of the penthouse.
He was almost running by the time he reached Wesley’s office, only to find it empty, and the owner no where in sight. Going into his own office, dropping down in his chair, Gunn replayed everything he heard, trying to make some sense of it, but it just kept coming back to this: Lindsey’s gaining power. Lindsey didn’t come here for Angel at all, everyone else is wrong about that. Lindsey came here for Wolfram & Hart. And by claiming him, Angel gave him an all access pass! With his link to Angelus –– Lindsey’s just become the most dangerous threat in the building, second only to the Senior Partners.
Gunn picked up the phone, punching buttons as he raised the headset to his ear.
“Eve, we need to talk.”
====================================
Lindsey felt Angelus pull out, and then the vampire flipped him onto his back, the hand never easing it’s grip on his erection. “You bas--” He started to say, only to have his words cut off by lips smashing into his. Lindsey struggled against Angelus, wanting to get away from him now.
Angelus moved to whisper into his ear, “Uh uh. I’m not through with you yet, Lin. Shh. Calm down. You know I’m not going to kill you, and I’m not hurting you, am I?”
Lindsey went still, looked at Angelus, noting the vampire was partly serious, and partly amused. “Yes,” he said. “No....I don’t know.....why the hell did you do that?”
Angelus smiled. “Lindsey, you were holding back on me. Just because I’m evil doesn’t mean I don’t like hearing the sounds of pleasure from beneath me. I do, very much so. I felt every change in your body, I know just how much you were enjoying that. Yet, you chose to muffle your cries of ecstasy in that pillow. I’d like to know why.”
Lindsey blushed. “Because........you aren’t him.” Angelus snorted, and looked into Lindsey’s eyes for what seemed like a very long time. Lindsey could see thoughts behind those brown eyes, and wished he could know what they were. And in the silence between them, Lindsey’s body began heating up once more. At first, the young man thought it was the eye contact causing it. He slowly realized that Angelus was softly rubbing the bite mark on the tender flesh of his inflamed cock. He bit his lip, and a soft moan escaped despite his effort to stop it.
Angelus leaned down, and kissed him, softly, gently, coaxing Lindsey to open his mouth, to let him in, allow him to caress the young man’s tongue with his own. Lindsey closed his eyes, and went with it, because Angelus wasn’t demanding. He was asking. Lindsey answered with tentative compliance, slowly warming up, until he himself began asking for more, in the way he responded, the way his breathing quickened, in the soft sultry moans he didn’t attempt to stifle. Each little moan he made was reflected back at him, in a soft, growly purr from the vampire, enticing Lindsey, seducing him away from his fear. He relaxed under the hand caressing his body, as he became aware of what he’d previously missed. Angelus was breathing, the same exact way Angel did when very aroused, and that knowledge excited Lindsey tremendously. He breathed a ragged moan into the kiss.
Angelus groaned at the sound of it, lifting his head to look down into eyes that had opened to peer back at him, desire blazing from the rich blue color they had turned. The smell of Lindsey’s deepened arousal was overwhelming Angelus. He growled softly. Lindsey’s body heat spiked with even more arousal, and he moaned again. The eye contact suddenly too telling, Angelus lowered his head to lick at Lindsey’s neck, plant soft biting kisses that elicited more erotic responses from the young man, and drove the vampire into a near frenzy to continue hearing the addictive sound.
Angelus slid lower, and licked his way to run his tongue over a nipple, then tug on it with his teeth, gently biting down, and Lindsey arched up, swearing, moaning, panting harshly. The vampire rewarded him by doing the same to the other nipple, biting down even harder on it. The stinging pain made his head spin, and all Lindsey could feel was the heat spiraling through him. Rational thought was gone, all he could do was luxuriate in the touch of Angelus, writhe beneath the lips, teeth, and tongue that were tasting, teasing him, and when Angelus flicked his tongue into his navel, licking it with soft feather strokes, while rubbing that damn bite mark, it was more than Lindsey could withstand, and he finally surrendered.
“Angelus, please,” Lindsey softly moaned. “I can’t.....can’t take much more. I.....please.”
The vampire grinned. About damn time. And he couldn’t help himself, he had to tease just that small bit more. “Please......what, Lindsey?”
Lindsey groaned. “Please.....make me come....please. Take me, suck me, fuck me into the mattress, I don’t care......just please, please, please let me come.”
Angelus purred, “That’s my boy. I knew you could do it.” Then he lowered his head, licking away the wetness on that warm belly, on that warm cock, so filled with life, so ready to explode, and the vampire moaned at the taste of Lindsey’s essence on his tongue. Lindsey gasped in surprise at the sound, and Angelus lifted his head to look at him, because he wanted the young man to know how much he wanted to do this. Lindsey shuddered at the desire in those brown eyes, he trembled at the need he saw in them, he reached out to touch that face looking at him that way and he was humbled by it all. An evil little grin broke out on the vampire’s face, and Lindsey smiled back with one of his own, and he wove a hand into his lover’s hair, petting him, asking him, begging without words.
In response, Angelus didn’t make him wait longer, he just took Lindsey in all the way, sucking hard as he did. Lindsey screamed, arched up, his hand tightening in the hair he was grasping, and he began thrusting hard, utterly unable to stop himself from responding that way, but that didn’t seem to matter, because Angelus moved both hands to hold onto Lindsey, and his movements were urging the younger man to keep fucking him like that. Angelus took Lindsey deep into his throat, alternately tightening and relaxing in response to the thrusts the young man made into him.
Angelus could feel the throbbing of Lindsey’s heartbeat against his tongue, and when he knew the young man was on the edge of climax, Angelus held Lindsey down to immobilize him, and he slid his fangs into the bite mark that belonged to him. Lindsey screamed the vampire’s name at the top of his lungs, and saw stars burst behind his closed eyes. The combination of his blood being withdrawn and the feel of himself jerking inside Angelus, over and over, was mind-blowing, and it felt like he would never stop, the pain and pleasure of it binding him to the vampire, making him his, just as much as he belonged to Angel, because they really were one and the same to him.
Angelus felt Lindsey begin to fall apart beneath him.. The young man’s very human body was rapidly shutting down, overstimulation, exhaustion and fatigue overwhelming it. He could feel Lindsey’s mind struggling to make sense of all that had happened, before it too succumbed to weariness. Gently easing his fangs out of the young man’s body, Angelus licked Lindsey clean and then slid up and wrapped himself around the heat of his mortal lover.
Feeling the young man relax back into him, Angelus smiled. //Oh, you idiot Angel, you better turn this one soon, cause if you don’t then I most assuredly will, for he is definitely worthy. And the fun we will have.....// “Love you, Angel.” Yanked from his thoughts as Lindsey snuggled even closer to him, Angelus snarled as the whispered words slammed into his brain. Knowing that even though Lindsey wanted *him*, the young man loved Angel and probably always had, now that just irritated the hell out of him. He absent-mindedly toyed with Lindsey’s hair, as he wondered why the hell that should even matter to him at all.
Lindsey smiled in contentment, his mind at ease with what he’d learned, as he drifted off to sleep.

A note from Menomegirl~I’m dedicating this chapter to one of our readers, whose name is Vicki. She knew I was upset about the way ATS was going to end. To make a long story short, she cheered me up by bringing a copy of my fanfiction *A Defining Moment* to the Chicago con with her. I’d told her not to, but she did it anyway. She asked Christian Kane to sign it for me. I’d told her he wouldn’t sign it. Well, much to my shock, Chris did sign it. Vicki sent me pictures of him signing it, and I should have the fic in my hands in a day or so. I want y’all to know, I worked damn hard on making this chapter as perfect at I could, drove Cindee insane with it. I've sweated every fricking word. I knew some of our readers were dedicated to this little story of ours, but I had no idea one of them would go above and beyond like that because I got so upset. It was also very nice of Chris Kane to sign it for me.
I’m moved beyond words.
Thank you with all my heart, Vicki.
I second her thank you and hope you enjoy this chapter. ~Cin

Chapter 30
Confrontations
Wesley stared at the vampire standing before him. “Would you mind repeating that?”
Spike calmly replied, “Lindsey’s been dealing with both Angel and Angelus all along. That’s why he can’t see a difference between them.”
Wesley laughed. “Spike, that’s the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard you say. That’s like saying black and white are the same.”
Spike shook his head, placed hid hands on the former watcher’s desk, and leaned forward. “You’re not getting it, Headboy. I’m telling you what I saw with my own eyes. If I’d been here to see them interact with each other before, I’d have noticed it right off the bat. I know my grandsire. I can feel him, the same way I feel Drusilla, and I’m telling you, Angelus has been toying with Lindsey like a cat with a mouse. Only Lindsey’s not the mouse Angelus believes him to be. He can’t be broken like Drusilla was. He’ll bite back, because he has control over my grandsire, and the fool boy doesn’t even know it.”
“So, basically, you’re telling me....Angelus could come out at any given time, and what? Slaughter us all?” Wesley said, thinking how real the possibility that what Spike was saying was true.
“No, I don’t think so. Not this time,” Spike said, thinking about that scene in Angel’s office. Angelus taking his blood, Lindsey defending him, and then tasting Spike himself. The vampire shivered with low arousal. “This time....it’s about family. It’s about who....no, not who...what Lindsey is, about his blood, his attraction to vampires. Lindsey McDonald is one of the human race that vampires call the Secular Caste.”
Wesley’s forehead wrinkled as he remembered something Lindsey had told him. Vampires have a thing for me....I have a thing for them.....there’s even a term for it, but I can’t remember what it is. ” He muttered, “So....Lindsey’s like....a vamp magnet, in other words?”
Spike grinned. “That’s right, Watcher. Only, it seems, for some reason, Lindsey has a real affinity with our little family. It’s almost as if he was born to become one of us. It’s going to happen, nothing we can do to stop it. Our problem has now become how to find a way for Lindsey not to lose his soul when it happens. That’s what Angel wants you to work on now, as fast as you can."
“What about Angel’s soul? Is Lindsey a threat to that or not?” Wesley wondered.
Spike shook his head no. “Don’t think so, not since they mated. I feel them. So can you, I saw it in your face earlier. They’re bound, in a way Dru and I never were. It’s different, somehow. I believe the curse has been voided by the claiming. Here’s the rub: Lindsey doesn’t believe in curses. Using gypsy magic on him would be a wasted effort. You need to find another way.”
Wesley thought about everything. Spells, curses, Lilah. And Eve. Wolfram and Hart itself. The resources that were here. Surely there was something on all of this. He stood up and told Spike, “Come with me. We’re going to research the hall of records.”
___________________________________
___________________________________
Something was different. He sensed it, but couldn't pinpoint its origin. It was as if someone else was in the room, as if someone else had joined them. Looking quickly around the room and finding nothing, Lindsey looked down at the man laying face down on the bed. Laying his hand on Angel's back, he felt his lover trembling and shaking. Alarmed, Lindsey grabbed Angel's shoulder and pulled him up, trying to turn the vampire over.
“Angel…are you okay?” Lindsey managed to get him turned over, only to have his senses shocked at the smile on his lover's face, at the silky laughter coming from him. At the indefinable difference in the vampire's eyes. He could still *see* Angel, but now he could glimpse something else in those brown eyes, as well. The beginnings of doubt entered his mind, and "Angel?" he softly asked.
"Nope. He's gone, left me in charge," Angelus said, as he slid off the bed and idled up to Lindsey, who was still on his knees. Bending slightly, the vampire sinisterly whispered into Lindsey's ear..."Still want to play?"
Lindsey’s mind went blank, utterly unable to process what he'd just heard. The only thing in his mind were echoes of Wesley and Spike saying Angelus would kill him, were he set free. And in that brief chaotic moment between knowledge and acceptance, fear blossomed in Lindsey, and he acted without thought. He was off the bed and almost at the door before Angelus stopped him, rough hands grabbing him, turning him around and slamming Lindsey back against the door. “Uhhh,” Lindsey groaned. And the fear instantly evaporated, because hey, wasn’t that familiar? He looked into the vampire’s face, narrowing his eyes in suspicion, because that had actually felt just a little too familiar.
Angelus grinned. “That’s right, lover. You know me. You’ve felt me before. You’ve seen me before. You just didn’t know it. Didn’t believe. And now that Angel’s gotten a happy, and decided to check out for awhile, I thought I’d introduce myself. Make you believe. I’m Angelus. Nice to meet you. Now, let’s fuck.” He leaned down to take those lips in a kiss, only to find himself held at bay when Lindsey placed both hands on his chest, stopping him.
“Woah! Get the hell off me! You just can’t come at me like that, are you insane?” Lindsey blurted out, shock reverberating through him at the attempt. “What....because Angel loses his soul, you think I’m supposed to put out for you? What the fuck!”
Angelus snorted. “He didn’t lose the damn soul. It’s still here, inside of me, thanks to both of you claiming each other as mates. Your souls are bound, dumbass. Congratulations, you thwarted the curse. Yay you! Are we through talking now? Cause I’ve only waited like three fucking years to get my hands on that luscious body of yours. Don’t know how long I have. Don’t care to waste what time I do have talking instead of fucking you.”
Relief flooded his system, Lindsey closed his eyes, and whispered “He didn’t lose his soul.” But that relief was short-lived as the rest of what Angelus had said registered in Lindsey’s mind. The rapid way the vampire was managing to confuse him was disconcerting, to say the least. He frowned. “What the hell makes you think I’d ever want you?”
Angelus grinned and winked. “Oh, you want me, lawyer boy. A part of you always has, that’s why you see me when you look at him. Why you couldn’t believe. We’re one and the same to you, isn’t that right?”Angelus leaned into Lindsey, pressing forward despite the younger man’s attempts to hold him back. He inhaled deeply, then smiled evilly. “Your heart is beating like a drum, Lin, and your blood is pounding in your veins. It’s not fear that’s causing it, either. It’s called want- you want me- and I can smell it on you, always could. Your reaction to danger is quite interesting, Lindsey.” He paused, waiting for the younger man to challenge what he’d said. When it appeared Lindsey wasn’t going to, Angelus laughed and said, “See? This whole being honest thing is a pain in the ass, when you can’t even lie to yourself any longer.”
Lindsey was indeed rendered momentarily speechless. He couldn’t refute what Angelus had said, because it was the truth. He did want him. Not only that, but he was breathing rapidly, and his body had gone haywire on him. Again. Oh, what a surprise. He felt as if he should go all whiney like a slayer, but he still felt Angel in there. He was there, Lindsey could almost see him, the exact same way he’d sensed Angelus underneath the facade of Angel. They really were one and the same to him. He looked into the darkness of those brown eyes he loved, and found that he just couldn’t lie. “God, I’m so fucking twisted,” he muttered.
Angelus laughed. “Yeah, you are. I like you that way. Now, c’mon, Lin. I want a taste,” he said, bending his head to kiss the younger man. He was surprised when Lindsey kissed him back, open mouthed, hot, wet kisses that had a hint of desperation to them. And Lindsey’s hands went around him, pulling Angelus into full body contact, hard hands that kneaded his back, nails digging into him. Angelus moaned. Lindsey whimpered. The vampire raised his head to look at him, and he saw what he’d expected to. Lust. Want. Need. Total confusion. He grinned crookedly, and answered the unasked question in Lindsey’s eyes. “Angel good. Angelus bad.”
“Yeah huh,” Lindsey said, shakily. “I get that. But shit....it feels the same to me. Angel must have known it would. Damn, I should be fighting this, fighting you....and fuck, I guess he knew this would happen, or he’d have fought harder to stay in control.” He looked up at the vampire, wishing like hell he could turn away from him. “You know, something about this is just not right, Angelus. I know it, but I just can’t....not.....want you.”
“Whatever you say, Lin. That works for me,” Angelus said. He raised his hand to softly caress the side of the younger man’s face. “Now, then. I’m going to ride you like you wanted Angel to earlier, and since you appear to be rather dominating yourself, I feel it’s only fair to tell you, I’m always on top, Lindsey. Your only choice here is in how you want to take it, on your knees or on your back. And I want to hear you say my name when you come.”
Lindsey fought a surprisingly brief war between outrage and amusement, then he grinned, and couldn’t resist teasing Angelus. “Oooh, I get it. I’m a master vampire. Nobody fucks me. You don’t even know what you’re missing. But, hey....whatever. You wanna get it on, I’m game. Who’s on top doesn’t matter to me, as long as I come. I’ll even try to call you by your name, but I wanna make it clear right now, I’m not calling you Master....or Sire.....or Daddy, like that nutcase Drusilla. Understand?”
Angelus grinned, shaking his head. “We’re almost too much alike, I swear. Maybe that’s why I like you so much. You know, I really respect your dark side, Lindsey. Every time you tried to kill Angel, I liked you a little bit more. Even though you failed miserably, you just kept right on trying, senior partners be damned. You had the souled prick so fucked up, he even let Darla loose on those lawyers. I never would have thought he had it in his soul to let Darla free like that. And you just stood there, smiling when he shut the doors. That took guts, Lindsey. I think that’s the minute I.....”
Lindsey waited, but when it looked like Angelus wasn’t going to continue, he asked, “The minute you what?”
The vampire’s gaze sharpened, and he said, “The minute I decided not to kill you.” Lindsey closed his eyes in relief. He hadn’t truly been that worried, because he’d sensed he wasn’t in that much danger. It was just.....nice to hear it out loud. Then Angelus bent down, whispered into his ear, “Don't worry, lover. I'll probably take a taste or two, but I won't kill you. Angel gets that privilege. He marked you. It's his right. And something tells me - it's gonna be soon."
Thrown off-guard again, Lindsey whispered shakily, “What makes you say that? Why would Angel want to kill me?”
“Not kill, turn. Thought you did the research, Lin.,” Angelus teased him. “Not that I know from personal experience, but I’ve seen it happen to others. Blood play between mates can get……intense. The need to feed from each other eats at you, makes your skin itch, makes your body burn. You've already felt it, haven't you? You've fed from him, even before you two claimed each other. It's addictive. A habit you can't break. He’ll have to turn you, in order to keep you. Either that, or risk killing you……and personally –– your permanent death –– not an option for me.”
Lindsey snorted, unconvinced. “I thought death was your forte. Your passion, your art, your goal in life. What makes me so damn special, that you don’t want me to die?” He asked, while inside, his brain said My God, would you just SHUT THE FUCK UP? Are you TRYING to make him kill you, you stupid shit?
“That’s my business, Lin. Now –– I’m done talking.” Angelus leaned over and began purring in Lindsey’s ear. “Come on, it’s my turn to feel that gorgeous ass squeezing my cock, Lindsey.” Placing biting kisses down Lindsey’s neck, making the younger man shiver, the vampire whispered, “I want to feel that heat that you share with Angel.” As if to emphasize his point, Angelus moved in and molded his body around Lindsey’s. “That need you feel to have him inside. Why should Angel get to have all the fun and besides, I thought you wanted to play.” And with those words, Angelus slid his fangs into Lindsey’s neck.
“ANGELUS!” Lindsey screamed, pure unadulterated desire racing through his body, as he arched into the bite.
=================================
What the hell? Gunn froze at the door to the penthouse. He had come up to talk to Angel about his lack of finding anything on Lindsey’s contract and was just about to knock when he heard the scream through the door. Was that Lindsey? And did he just say Angelus? Gunn pressed his ear to the door, listening for more signs of trouble from within. Hearing nothing, he dropped his hand on the door knob and turned, pausing when he found it unlocked. Okay, man. Wait a sec. Think this through. You got no weapon - not even a pencil - so if Angel did lose his soul and the big ugly is eating Lindsey, what can you possibly do, except provide him with dessert?
Hearing another pained moan coming from behind the door, Damn it! I gotta do something! Slowly opening the door, he peeked his head into room. Seeing nothing wrong, he silently slid into the room.
Looking around for blood, broken furniture, anything that showed signs of a struggle and finding none, Gunn quietly headed towards the bar to a weapons chest he knew Angel kept there. Thank you, Angel. Most people would hide weapons in their bedroom–you hide them behind the bar. Must be some good Irish whiskey back there.
"I’m not tellin’ you jack. Unnnh....that burns.....slow down.....Angelus," Gunn froze in shock as Lindsey’s voice floated from the bedroom. Ok, there’s that name again....only this time it’s...different. Easing towards the doorway, Just need to see that Lindsey’s okay –– that’s all.
"Oh, fuck me," Lindsey’s voice filters out, a little rougher, more gravely than normal, but lacking fear.
"I will Lin, don’t doubt that." Angel’s voice follows, laden with silk, steel and menace.
Shit! That is Angelus and he’s about to kill Lindsey. Fuck! Gunn began easing his way down the wall towards the bar when Lindsey screamed again
=================================
“That’s it, Lindsey. Scream my name. Beg for me, lawyer boy,” Angelus said, slowly moving them back across the room, not stopping until he felt the bed against the back of Lindsey’s legs. “So.....how do you want it, lover? On your back or on your knees? You got 10 seconds to decide.....tick......tock.....ten!”
Angelus moved so fast , the next thing Lindsey knew, he was face down on the bed and a very horny vampire was positioning his body the way he wanted it. Well, so much for that fucking choice. But Lindsey didn’t say that, because he was a little afraid, which was probably a good thing. After all, he hadn’t believed, and yet here he was, on his knees, about to be royally screwed by one of the most notoriously vicious vampires in history. Don’t you just love the irony in that? Ha fuckin’ ha. I’d bet money wherever Lilah is, she’s laughin’ her fuckin’ ass off. And yes, okay, so he’d agreed to it, but shit....Angelus looked like Angel....well, hell.......he felt like Angel. Oh, damn.....he was so fucking confused by this shit.
“Well, well. What have we here, Lindsey?” Picking up the jar of ointment that Lindsey had used on Angel earlier, Angelus laughed. “Vicks Vaporub? That’s what the hell that was? Shit, Lin..... that felt really good. In case you couldn’t tell, Angel loved it.” Angelus opened the jar and dipped two fingers inside, then began to tease Lindsey’s tightly puckered hole. “Although.......he was wondering where you learned that trick. You wouldn’t wanna tell me, would you? I’m kind of curious myself, to tell the truth.” Angelus said, as he slid his lubed fingers inside the young man’s body.
“I’m not tellin’ you jack. Unnnh....that burns.....slow down.....Angelus,” Lindsey hissed. “Fuck!” He felt his body relaxing around Angelus’ fingers, his cock twitching in reaction to the burn, and he suddenly realized he’d never lost the erection at all. Oh, great. That’s just fucking great. Do you think he.....yeah, you stupid fuck, you know he knew! “Really interesting reaction to danger.” Riiiiiiiight. “Oh, fuck me,” Lindsey groaned in reaction to that thought, grabbing a pillow, burying his face in it. He was blushing furiously.
“I will Lin, don’t doubt that.” Angelus said, slipping another finger in, stretching Lindsey a little more, deliberately avoiding the young man’s prostate. No way is he going to come before me. “Shit, Lindsey. You’re so hot, so damn tight inside. I can’t wait to get in there.” Using his free hand, Angelus began coating his cock with the ointment. Removing his fingers and placing his cock against Lindsey’s opening, Angelus paused, leaned over and whispered in the young man’s ear, “Now we’re gonna play.” And with one hard thrust, Angelus buried himself in Lindsey’s heat.
“DON’T……ANGELUS!” Lindsey screamed as he felt Angelus slide in, a smooth but painful move. He felt his body giving in to the invasion, wrapping itself around the vampire, pain mixing with pleasure as Angelus began pumping in and out of him with deep, slow, measured strokes. Lindsey groaned as the sensation of being taken overcame him. This was what he’d wanted, waited for all day, and his body didn’t seem to care that it wasn’t Angel who was fucking him, Lindsey thought maybe he didn’t care, either. He let passion take him over, tired of trying to think, when this felt.......so......damn.....good. “Oh, God……don’t……stop……Angelus……don’t stop,” he softly moaned.
Angelus chuckled. “Wasn’t planning on it, Lindsey,” the vampire said, as he dug his fingers into the young man’s flesh, and began pumping faster within him. They were so close, he could feel Lindsey’s heart beating, heard the sigh the young man made as he subsequently began moving his body in time with him. Angelus moaned at the feeling of this boy moving under him, at the glorious sensation of being clenched from inside-however unconsciously Lindsey was doing it-because Lindsey was softly moaning, too. Angel was right-the raspy sound of Lindsey’s voice in passion was the sexiest thing Angelus had ever heard, too.
Lindsey knew he was going to have bruises from Angelus’ fingers digging into him, but he didn’t care. The slick slide of that cock pumping in and out of him, rubbing his prostate with every damn stroke was all he knew in that moment. He was so close to coming, it was all he wanted to know. Lindsey started bucking his body into Angelus faster, harder....as he groaned, and bit down on the pillow to stop himself from begging the vampire to fuck him harder. Because.....He.....Wasn’t........Gonna......Do.......That. No fucking way. And he didn’t just squeal like a girl, either. That noise hadn’t come out of him. Really. It hadn’t. Neither did that.
Lindsey bit down on the pillow harder.
Angelus was glad Lindsey couldn’t see his face, because he was grinning manically. Lindsey was fun to play with., and Angelus planned on having a lot of fun with him, while he could. Making him beg sounded like great fun to be had. Oh, yeah. He reached one arm around to take Lindsey in hand, and Angelus had to bite his lip to stop himself from laughing at the muffled noises the young man made, the way his body shuddered at his touch, at the almost frantic way Lindsey was moving under him. He moved his hand to stroke Lindsey, once, twice, and he felt the contractions begin inside the young man as his climax approached. Angelus slammed into Lindsey, spilling his seed into him as the orgasm tore through his own body. At that same time, Angelus clamped his hand tight around the base of the young man’s cock, effectively cutting off Lindsey’s climax in one swift move.
Lindsey screamed.
====================================
Gunn’s hand tightened on the crossbow in his grip at Lindsey’s pained scream. He was at somewhat of a loss as to what to do at the moment. He knew that the two men in the other room were having sex. It sounded both consensual and extremely erotic, which only added to his confusion as to what his next move should be.
Standing outside the door meant that he missed almost nothing. He could hear almost every word, every laugh, every moan, every gasp. He almost believed that if he held his own breath –– he would be able to hear skin slide against skin and whispered words dropped in open mouths, before being swept back out again with wet, urgent tongues.
And what’s that smell? Smells like that Vick’s vapor rub stuff. What the hell are they doing with that? “Unnnh....that burns.....slow down.....Angelus.” Ohhh. That’s what he meant? Sooo not going there! I can’t believe I’m listening to this. Shit!
“Don’t. . .Angelus!” Snapped back into reality at Lindsey’s scream, Gunn plastered himself against the wall behind him and tried to process everything he’d heard so far. Which he had to admit, wasn’t much thanks to the auditory visuals flooding his brain, although one thing rang out loud and clear.
Angelus was back! And in the process of making Lindsey his boy toy for the moment.“Oh God.......don’t......stop.....Angelus.....don’t stop.”
And evidently, Lindsey doesn’t mind. Sick little fucker! What the hell did Lindsey do to Angel that set Angelus free? I knew having him here was going to be a bad idea. Now he’s brought Angelus back down on us.
Wincing at Lindsey’s next scream, Gunn reflexively took another step towards the doorway, then paused. Wait a sec. I’m about to go in there and risk my ass to save Lindsey’s? Why? That little shit brought this down on himself. So what if Angelus kills him, he’s getting what he deserves, right? Shit! Where’s Wesley when I need him? Rechecking the bow in his hand, Gunn turned back towards the door when Angelus’ next words stopped him cold.
"Uh uh. I’m not through with you yet, Lin. Shh. Calm down. You know I’m not going to kill you and I’m not hurting you, am I?"
"Yes.......No....I don’t know.....why the hell did you do that?"
Sonofabitch! Lindsey’s working with Angelus? Easing himself back away from the door, Gunn began planning his way back out of the room.
"Angelus, please. I can’t.....can’t take much more. I.....please."
"Please......what, Lindsey?"
"Please.....make me come....please. Take me, suck me, fuck me into the mattress, I don’t care......just please, please, please let me come."
Gunn felt himself blush and was thankful for Lindsey’s next scream. Taking another glance at the bedroom doorway to make sure he was clear, Gunn quickly moved to the door, and eased his way out of the penthouse.
He was almost running by the time he reached Wesley’s office, only to find it empty, and the owner no where in sight. Going into his own office, dropping down in his chair, Gunn replayed everything he heard, trying to make some sense of it, but it just kept coming back to this: Lindsey’s gaining power. Lindsey didn’t come here for Angel at all, everyone else is wrong about that. Lindsey came here for Wolfram & Hart. And by claiming him, Angel gave him an all access pass! With his link to Angelus –– Lindsey’s just become the most dangerous threat in the building, second only to the Senior Partners.
Gunn picked up the phone, punching buttons as he raised the headset to his ear.
“Eve, we need to talk.”
====================================
Lindsey felt Angelus pull out, and then the vampire flipped him onto his back, the hand never easing it’s grip on his erection. “You bas--” He started to say, only to have his words cut off by lips smashing into his. Lindsey struggled against Angelus, wanting to get away from him now.
Angelus moved to whisper into his ear, “Uh uh. I’m not through with you yet, Lin. Shh. Calm down. You know I’m not going to kill you, and I’m not hurting you, am I?”
Lindsey went still, looked at Angelus, noting the vampire was partly serious, and partly amused. “Yes,” he said. “No....I don’t know.....why the hell did you do that?”
Angelus smiled. “Lindsey, you were holding back on me. Just because I’m evil doesn’t mean I don’t like hearing the sounds of pleasure from beneath me. I do, very much so. I felt every change in your body, I know just how much you were enjoying that. Yet, you chose to muffle your cries of ecstasy in that pillow. I’d like to know why.”
Lindsey blushed. “Because........you aren’t him.” Angelus snorted, and looked into Lindsey’s eyes for what seemed like a very long time. Lindsey could see thoughts behind those brown eyes, and wished he could know what they were. And in the silence between them, Lindsey’s body began heating up once more. At first, the young man thought it was the eye contact causing it. He slowly realized that Angelus was softly rubbing the bite mark on the tender flesh of his inflamed cock. He bit his lip, and a soft moan escaped despite his effort to stop it.
Angelus leaned down, and kissed him, softly, gently, coaxing Lindsey to open his mouth, to let him in, allow him to caress the young man’s tongue with his own. Lindsey closed his eyes, and went with it, because Angelus wasn’t demanding. He was asking. Lindsey answered with tentative compliance, slowly warming up, until he himself began asking for more, in the way he responded, the way his breathing quickened, in the soft sultry moans he didn’t attempt to stifle. Each little moan he made was reflected back at him, in a soft, growly purr from the vampire, enticing Lindsey, seducing him away from his fear. He relaxed under the hand caressing his body, as he became aware of what he’d previously missed. Angelus was breathing, the same exact way Angel did when very aroused, and that knowledge excited Lindsey tremendously. He breathed a ragged moan into the kiss.
Angelus groaned at the sound of it, lifting his head to look down into eyes that had opened to peer back at him, desire blazing from the rich blue color they had turned. The smell of Lindsey’s deepened arousal was overwhelming Angelus. He growled softly. Lindsey’s body heat spiked with even more arousal, and he moaned again. The eye contact suddenly too telling, Angelus lowered his head to lick at Lindsey’s neck, plant soft biting kisses that elicited more erotic responses from the young man, and drove the vampire into a near frenzy to continue hearing the addictive sound.
Angelus slid lower, and licked his way to run his tongue over a nipple, then tug on it with his teeth, gently biting down, and Lindsey arched up, swearing, moaning, panting harshly. The vampire rewarded him by doing the same to the other nipple, biting down even harder on it. The stinging pain made his head spin, and all Lindsey could feel was the heat spiraling through him. Rational thought was gone, all he could do was luxuriate in the touch of Angelus, writhe beneath the lips, teeth, and tongue that were tasting, teasing him, and when Angelus flicked his tongue into his navel, licking it with soft feather strokes, while rubbing that damn bite mark, it was more than Lindsey could withstand, and he finally surrendered.
“Angelus, please,” Lindsey softly moaned. “I can’t.....can’t take much more. I.....please.”
The vampire grinned. About damn time. And he couldn’t help himself, he had to tease just that small bit more. “Please......what, Lindsey?”
Lindsey groaned. “Please.....make me come....please. Take me, suck me, fuck me into the mattress, I don’t care......just please, please, please let me come.”
Angelus purred, “That’s my boy. I knew you could do it.” Then he lowered his head, licking away the wetness on that warm belly, on that warm cock, so filled with life, so ready to explode, and the vampire moaned at the taste of Lindsey’s essence on his tongue. Lindsey gasped in surprise at the sound, and Angelus lifted his head to look at him, because he wanted the young man to know how much he wanted to do this. Lindsey shuddered at the desire in those brown eyes, he trembled at the need he saw in them, he reached out to touch that face looking at him that way and he was humbled by it all. An evil little grin broke out on the vampire’s face, and Lindsey smiled back with one of his own, and he wove a hand into his lover’s hair, petting him, asking him, begging without words.
In response, Angelus didn’t make him wait longer, he just took Lindsey in all the way, sucking hard as he did. Lindsey screamed, arched up, his hand tightening in the hair he was grasping, and he began thrusting hard, utterly unable to stop himself from responding that way, but that didn’t seem to matter, because Angelus moved both hands to hold onto Lindsey, and his movements were urging the younger man to keep fucking him like that. Angelus took Lindsey deep into his throat, alternately tightening and relaxing in response to the thrusts the young man made into him.
Angelus could feel the throbbing of Lindsey’s heartbeat against his tongue, and when he knew the young man was on the edge of climax, Angelus held Lindsey down to immobilize him, and he slid his fangs into the bite mark that belonged to him. Lindsey screamed the vampire’s name at the top of his lungs, and saw stars burst behind his closed eyes. The combination of his blood being withdrawn and the feel of himself jerking inside Angelus, over and over, was mind-blowing, and it felt like he would never stop, the pain and pleasure of it binding him to the vampire, making him his, just as much as he belonged to Angel, because they really were one and the same to him.
Angelus felt Lindsey begin to fall apart beneath him.. The young man’s very human body was rapidly shutting down, overstimulation, exhaustion and fatigue overwhelming it. He could feel Lindsey’s mind struggling to make sense of all that had happened, before it too succumbed to weariness. Gently easing his fangs out of the young man’s body, Angelus licked Lindsey clean and then slid up and wrapped himself around the heat of his mortal lover.
Feeling the young man relax back into him, Angelus smiled. //Oh, you idiot Angel, you better turn this one soon, cause if you don’t then I most assuredly will, for he is definitely worthy. And the fun we will have.....// “Love you, Angel.” Yanked from his thoughts as Lindsey snuggled even closer to him, Angelus snarled as the whispered words slammed into his brain. Knowing that even though Lindsey wanted *him*, the young man loved Angel and probably always had, now that just irritated the hell out of him. He absent-mindedly toyed with Lindsey’s hair, as he wondered why the hell that should even matter to him at all.
Lindsey smiled in contentment, his mind at ease with what he’d learned, as he drifted off to sleep.
