feedback! You're keeping the muses very happy. Since we started
this little story last year, we had a number of chapters ready to go
and were able to post everyday ~sans weekends~ up until now. Now the story has caught up to us and real life has become a factor.
However, If you will please bear with us...Kini and I are hoping
to be able to post twice a week. How long is this story? We
honestly have no idea, could be 30 chapters, could be 80. We'll
just keep on it until the story is told. We only hope that you will
be there in the end too.
Thanks again for all the support!

Summary:A vampire stakes a more possessive claim on Lindsey.
Chapter 21
Heaven or Hell
When the first drop of blood hit his tongue, Angel moaned. He knew he'd missed Lindsey everyday that they were apart, but hadn't realized just how starved he was for the young man. Until now. Taking a deep pull and savoring the rich, coppery taste that was uniquely Lindsey, Angel gently retracted his fangs and ran his tongue over the weeping punctures. He began kissing his way up Lindsey's throat when he felt the young man pull back.
"Say it," Lindsey said, looking Angel square in the eye.
Angel knew exactly what Lindsey wanted him to say and he wanted to, very badly. The words were right there on the tip of his tongue, yet in the back of his mind, he heard Spike's words to him the night the other vampire had left to seek Buffy out: "You have a soul, Angel. It wouldn't just be binding him to you. You'd be bound to him, as well. You know it's eternal. As far as I know, a souled vampire's never done it before. Who knows what the consequences would be?"
Needing to be sure that Lindsey knew and understood the realities of such simple words, Angel leaned forward, kissing Lindsey's neck, "Be sure, Lindsey," Angel growled softly into the young man's ear. "If we do this, there's no going back. No Oklahoma. No running away. It's forever."
Do I want this? A faint flutter of fear flew through his gut as the words Angel had spoken to him back in Oklahoma echoed in his head. "A claiming is for eternity, Lindsey. It binds the soul of the human to the vampire. I've never done it before." He had spent the last three months closing another chapter in his life. He had sold his part of the firm, his house and most of the contents. He kept his bedroom furniture and had it shipped to the storage facility that he used to store his truck back in his Wolfram & Hart days.
Throwing his duffel and guitar into the truck, he had headed out.
That was two months ago. Lindsey remembered a client he'd had when he was new at the firm, a demonologist, specializing in vampires and vampire customs. He looked him up and spent a month with the professor in Arizona. He studied everything he could find in regards to claiming and other vampire rituals. He probably knew more about it than Angel did. Do I want this? Yes...I do. God, yes.....I do.
Lightly grabbing the back of the vampire's neck, Lindsey pulled Angel back so he could look the older man in the eye and shrugged. "Sold it all, Angel. Nothing to go back to. And as for the running away? Not going to……unless you come, too." Lindsey leaned in and kissed Angel firmly, then asked, "Now the question is: Are you sure? Do you really want this? Want me?"
Angel met Lindsey's look head on, "Yes, Lindsey, I want this. I want you more than anything else, but……"
Lindsey cut off Angel's rebuttal with a light touch of warm fingers on cool lips, then moving in to replace warm fingers with warm lips, until he was kissing Angel lightly. Lindsey looked up at Angel and made his wants known, "Then say it, Angel."
Angel leaned into Lindsey's neck and ran his tongue over the
punctures. Feeling very little blood, he slid his fangs gently into the slightly seeping holes, and opened them back up. Lindsey moaned at the feel of Angel's pull and tried to move in closer to the vampire. His moan turned into a groan of frustration when Angel withdrew and ran his tongue back over the marks.
Angel backed away from Lindsey's neck and stood so that he was eye to eye with the young man, Lindsey's blood still staining the vampire's lips. "Your blood becomes my blood, as I bind my soul to yours. I take you as my beloved, for all eternity, in this life and any that may follow. Heaven or Hell, wherever I end up, so too will you, Lindsey McDonald, for we can never be separated again," Angel softly said, a smirk on his lips as he said the last part.
"Snarky bastard,"Lindsey said, but he smiled back, reached over and licked the blood off Angel's lips, then pushed his tongue inside and cleaned out all remaining traces of blood from inside Angel's mouth.Damn, he did it. He did it right, too. Holy fuck!
Angel moaned as the erotic feeling of what Lindsey was doing to his mouth –– and inadvertently to the rest of his body- swept over him. He was hard as a rock and at the end of his patience. Wrapping his arms around the young man, Angel picked Lindsey straight up off the floor and carried the lawyer to the bedroom, never losing the connection Lindsey had created with his kiss.
In the five seconds it took Angel to reach the bed, he was done being nice. Dropping Lindsey unceremoniously onto the bed, effectively breaking the kiss, he headed to the bathroom.
"Angel?" Lindsey said, struggling to regain awareness.
"Strip." Angel demanded and disappeared into the other room.
Lindsey glared at the vampire's back, before smiling to himself. He knew Angel was fighting to regain some control and in no way was he going to give it to the vampire. Quickly getting undressed, he crawled back onto the bed and sat back against the head board looking very much like the happy man that he was.
Holy Shit. I truly belong to Angel now. Lindsey thought as he leaned back, closed his eyes and slowly ran his fingers over the bite mark on his neck. Gently taking his semi-erect cock into his hand and replaying in his mind what had just happened in the other room, Lindsey stroked himself into a full blown, ragingly painful hard-on. He was picking up speed, nearing completion when Angel's voice in his ear made him freeze.
"Don't come, Lindsey. Don't you dare fucking come!" Angel growled.
"Fuck, Angel. Make some goddamn noise occasionally, will ya! Scared me to death." Lindsey grabbed the base of his cock and squeezed until he feel himself relax enough to let go.
"You still feel very much alive to me." Angel said, nuzzling
Lindsey's neck.
Taking advantage of Angel's preoccupation with his neck, Lindsey swung himself over the vampire and pinned him to the bed. Leaning down, he gave Angel's mouth a very thorough kiss then began placing light kisses along the vampire's jaw. Feeling Angel's body shaking with barely contained need, Lindsey whispered in the older man's ear, "You've made me yours, Angel……now it's time to make you mine."
"It's about fucking time, Linds. I was beginning to think you were going to play Tease the Vampire all fucking night. And for the record……NOT a good idea." Angel growled then hissed when Lindsey's tongue found a nipple and laved it gently. "Lindsey……you're still teasing. Not a good i-Fuck Yes!" Angel said loudly as Lindsey bit down on his nipple. The stinging sensation shot straight to his dick, causing Angel to buck up hard and almost dislodging Lindsey from atop him. Grabbing Lindsey's head in his hands, Angel wrapped his fingers in Lindsey's hair and held on while the young man repeated his actions on the other nipple.
Lindsey smiled at the almost painful way Angel was pulling at his hair. He knew Angel was close and began licking a trail down the vampire's body until he was laying comfortably between Angel's legs. Taking Angel's cool, velvety length in his hand, Lindsey looked up at the vampire whose face was awash with both want and need and couldn't help the feeling of possessiveness that stole over him. He's finally going to be mine, and mine alone. He couldn't help the small smile of anticipation that flickered across his face as he slowly guided Angel's cock into his mouth.
Holy hell! His mouth is so damn hot! Angel hissed and carefully unfisted his hands from Lindsey's hair and fisted them in the sheet instead, trying desperately to keep from letting go and just fucking Lindsey's mouth for all it was worth. Gasping with unneeded breaths, he looked down at the young man between his legs and watched as the young man drove him closer and closer to the edge.
Lindsey alternated between soft, slow strokes applying lots of
pressure on the underside with his tongue, to short, fast strokes, occasionally pausing over the head to send his tongue into the slit to lick up the pre-come collecting there.
"Lindsey……" Angel said warningly.
Smiling, Lindsey decided Angel had had enough teasing and danced two fingers along Angel's lips. Angel sucked them into his mouth greedily, knowing exactly what the young man was up to. Taking his well coated fingers from Angel's mouth, Lindsey teased Angel's opening before gently sliding one finger in. Angel arched up off the bed and Lindsey had to use his other hand to hold the vampire down. Easing his finger out and adding the second one, Lindsey swallowed Angel's cock down as far as he could and began humming as he worked his fingers back inside Angel.
As soon as Lindsey hit that sweet spot inside him, Angel hit
sensation overload and saw stars as his orgasm hit and he came with a yell. "Oh, Fuck, Lindsey.......YES! YES! Fuck, Lindsey. Yes!" Angel kept up the litany of repeated words as he rode the orgasm to completion, quieting down as Lindsey licked him clean.
Reaching down and burying a hand in his hair, Angel pulled Lindsey up to him and dove into the young man's mouth, kissing him with complete abandon. "Fuck me now, Lindsey. I want to feel your heat inside of me." Angel reached over to the night stand and grabbed the small bottle of lotion sitting there. Placing it in Lindsey's hand, he looked into passion filled blue eyes and saw his own need reflected there. "I need to feel you inside me."
Lindsey flipped open the bottle of lotion and poured some into his hand. Knowing Angel required little – if any – recovery time, he recoated his fingers and shoved them back inside the vampire. He watched as Angel arched up to meet his hand, burying his fingers deep inside the vampire. With his other hand, Lindsey coated his now painfully hard cock with lotion, then moved into position over Angel.
Angel groaned in frustration when Lindsey removed his fingers, but then moaned when he felt something thicker and hotter teasing his entrance.
"Angel, look at me," Lindsey softly said.
Angel opened his eyes and looked at the man above him,
questioningly. "What?"
"Just wanted to tell you…you're mine now." And with those words Lindsey drove himself deep into Angel's body.
"Fuck, Lindsey!Yes!" Angel screamed, damn near delirious feeling that heat moving inside him. He had never felt that kind of heat inside before.......and he wanted more. He squeezed Lindsey with his inner muscles, whispered, "God, you're so hot, Linds....so damn hot." He saw a flicker of uncertainty on Lindsey's face, so he said, "Fuck me, Lindsey. Fuck me hard." Then he watched as the man above him lost control and began fucking him with abandon.
Lindsey couldn't tell when he'd lost control. All he knew was that Angel felt incredible. He was so tight that Lindsey was afraid he'd hurt him when he drove into him, but Angel's demand to fuck him harder put those fears to rest. Wanting to please his lover by giving him what he wanted, Lindsey began pounding into Angel for all he was worth. Then Angel started moving in rhythm with Lindsey's thrusts and the young lawyer knew the time had come. Looking down at Angel's now hard cock, Lindsey grabbed it and using the pre-come as a lubricant Lindsey began stroking it in time with his thrusts.
"Shit, Lindsey. That feels so good. You feel so good. Please, don't stop. Don't ever stop." Angel muttered.
Lindsey smiled, leaned over, kissed Angel then licked his way down the vampire's neck. Sucking on the side of Angel's neck, Lindsey waited until he felt Angel squeeze him again then drove hard up into the vampire, saying as he did so, "Your blood becomes my blood, as I bind my soul to yours. I take you as my beloved, for all eternity, in this life and any that may follow. Heaven or Hell, wherever I end up, so too will you, Angel, for we can never be separated again." Then Lindsey sank his teeth hard into Angel's neck, breaking the skin, drawing blood.
"HOLYHELLSONOFABITCH, LINDSEY!" Angel yelled as he came, splashing Lindsey's chest with his cool seed.
Feeling Angel's ass muscles clench tight around him and tasting Angel's blood in his mouth, Lindsey's orgasm crashed through him and with one final thrust he came deep inside his lover. Letting the waves of his climax wash over him, Lindsey leaned down to kiss Angel. Loving the feel of the vampire's tongue erotically playing with his, losing himself in the kiss itself, the young man was surprised at suddenly being flipped over onto his back, Angel covering him.
Angel gazed down at Lindsey, grinning at his shock in the swift change of position. "Bloodthirsty little bastard, aren't you?"
Lindsey licked his lips. "Hell, Angel. You know I had to do that. It's the way it's done. Spent a month researching it, after I thought about it. That's just me, you know? I don't do things half-way."
"Oh, yeah, I know you, Lindsey," Angel said, in a voice that sent chills down Lindsey's spine. "I've known you since I looked into your eyes in the middle of that courtroom." He growled, then leaned down to lick the sensitive spot right behind Lindsey's earlobe.
Lindsey arched up, a moan escaping his lips. "Fuck, Angel," he groaned, his voice raspy and harsh.
"You're wild, unpredictable, a little dangerous," Angel whispered into his ear. "Like a snake in a pit. A rattlesnake. Yeah, that's you, Lindsey. You know what? I like it."
"Damn good thing you do, after what we just did," Lindsey uttered, every nerve in his body screaming in anticipation.
"What, that?" Angel said, a wicked smile on his lips. "That was foreplay, Lindsey. Now.........I'm gonna show you what having a vampire as a bedmate's really all about."
Burning Imprints~ Chapter 22
Savage
Lindsey was no longer amazed at his body's response to the
vampire as Angel's words shot to his groin, making his cock jump in
response. Smiling in anticipation, he took Angel's head in his
hands and knotted his fingers in his lover's hair. Pulling Angel
down, Lindsey gave him a brief and bruising kiss before burying his
head in Angel's neck. Running his tongue across the mark he had left
just moments earlier, Lindsey licked his way up to Angel's
ear. "Bring it on, babe. I didn't come here for a snugglefest."
Lindsey whispered before leaning back down and sinking his teeth
back into Angel's neck.
"Holy fucking hell, Lindsey." The vampire gasped as he felt Lindsey's bite all through his body. He felt his fangs descend and was about to return the favor when Lindsey pulled back up and claimed his mouth once again. Having decided that Lindsey's mouth had to be the eighth deadliest sin created, at least to me, the vampire smiled,inwardly and decided to let the young man keep control of this kiss for now.
For now lasted all of about five seconds. Lindsey had pierced his tongue on one of the fangs and the combined taste of their
blood sent the vampire spiraling out of control. Struggling to maintain even a tenuous degree of control, the vampire grabbed Lindsey's head and held him in place while he ravaged the warm mouth with his tongue. Lindsey gave in with a groan and arched up to grind his cock into Angel's leg as he felt those fangs graze over his bottom lip.
Feeling Lindsey's erection pushing against his leg, the vampire
reached down and took it in his hand. He loved the feel of Lindsey's
cock, whether it was in his hand or deeply buried in his body, he
wanted it. And all that heat and hardness wrapped in velvety
softness, tasting like heavy cream was what the vampire craved now. Rubbing his thumb over the head, gathering the pre-come that was collecting there, Angel began stroking Lindsey alternating gentle tugs with almost brutal pulls. Feeling Lindsey's moan vibrate
through his mouth, his own cock jumped in response.
Pulling his mouth away from Lindsey's, the vampire began kissing and
licking his way down his lover's body. "Are you ready to find out
what a true claiming feels like, Lin?" The vampire asked as he took a nipple into his mouth and laved it gently, before piercing it gently with his teeth.
"Fuck, Angel!" Lindsey hissed and arched up into Angel's fist,
which was gripping him tightly.
"Not yet, babe, but we'll get there." The vampire smirked.
"Fuck, then get on with it. Quit jacking around." Lindsey said,
frustration dripping off every word.
"You didn't answer my question, Lin." The vampire said, licking
Lindsey's other nipple and slowly moving the hand wrapped around the
hot cock, simultaneously.
"Shit, Angel. You and your need to talk all the damn time is going
to kill me. Can't you put that mouth to better use?" Lindsey
ground out, pulling Angel back up to his mouth and shoving his
tongue down the vampire's throat, slicing open his tongue.
Lindsey's blood filled his mouth and the vampire began sucking at
Lindsey's mouth like a starving man. When the blood had slowed to
a trickle, he pulled away from Lindsey's mouth and slithered
down the young man's body until he was face to balls with
Lindsey's cock.
The vampire pinned Lindsey down with one hand while the other hand gripped Lindsey's cock tightly. Looking up and catching the passion
filled stare watching him, the vampire said, "Do you trust me, Lindsey?"
"Dammit, Angel! Your fucking fangs are inches away from my cock, my
balls are practically in your palm and I'm begging you to suck me
off, so yeah, I'd say I trust you."
The vampire smiled. Leaning down slightly, he licked the head of
Lindsey's cock, cleaning it of the salty pre-come before swallowing
the young man whole.
Lindsey bucked up helplessly, trying to shove more of his length
into Angel's mouth. He wanted to fuck Angel's mouth desperately, but
he couldn't move. "Shit, Angel. I need to move, please. Please let me move."
The vampire ignored Lindsey's plea and continued working Lindsey's
cock. Tongue stroking and swirling, teeth lightly grazing as his
mouth moved up and down the shaft. Removing his hand from Lindsey's
cock, he took two saliva slicked fingers and wormed them into
Lindsey's tight passage.
"Fuck! Angel...please baby, please..." Lindsey was panting, the need to move raging now, and when the vampire scraped a nail over that bundle of nerves inside him, Lindsey begged. "Please, please, please, Angel, please. I want you inside me when I come, please."
Lindsey's begging was music to the vampire's ears and went straight
to his own aching cock. He scissored his fingers inside Lindsey
to give him a little more room, and then began to move them in time
with his mouth. Lindsey screamed. He felt Lindsey's hands tighten
up in his hair, pulling at it painfully, and he knew the young man
was close. Holding Lindsey down, so he couldn't move at all, the vampire closed his eyes and let instinct ride him. He pushed his fingers hard against Lindsey's prostate and swallowed the throbbing
hardness down his into his throat. When he was nose to curls at the base of Lindsey's cock, he took a deep breath and gently eased his fangs into the tender flesh.
Lindsey knew what the vampire was going to do just seconds before feeling the piercing pain shoot through his body, only to be followed by the hardest, mind blowing orgasm he had ever had. "HOLY SHIT! ANGEL!" He tried desperately to arch up into his mouth but the vampire held him hard against the mattress. "Fuck...fuck...FUCK!
UNNGH." Lindsey gave one last half-hearted attempt to move before
everything went black.
The vampire retracted the fangs, let Lindsey slip from his mouth, a grin of extreme satisfaction on his face. Lindsey was his now, too. He gently moved back up the young man's body, checking out every bite mark to be sure he hadn't been too brutal in his claiming. In the process, he inadvertently ran his hand over the tattoo on Lindsey's arm. And although he still felt extreme heat coming from it, he wasn't burned this time. He smiled, leaned closer and just inhaled the aroma that exuded from Lindsey now. Mmm....he smells so damn good after he comes. Salty, hot, and musky. You're mine now too, Lindsey McDonald. Come what may. Then Angelus placed a soft kiss on his lover's forehead, and let himself fall into contented sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lindsey awoke to the soft sound of the telephone ringing on the
night stand next to the bed. Waiting for Angel to answer it, Lindsey
reached out to touch his lover but came up empty instead. Glancing
around the room, he reached over and picked up the handset. "Angel?"
"Hardly. Who are you?" The voice that came through and assaulted Lindsey's ears was the same annoying one he'd gotten when
he'd called from Oklahoma.
Lindsey smiled as he caught the sound of the shower running in
the next room. "I'm Angel's wet dream, darlin'. Who are you?"
"I'm his assistant, Harmony, and if you're Angel's wet
dream, then you must be Lindsey. So, do me a favor and tell Angel
he has a meeting in Wesley's office in 15 minutes. Please."
"Will do." Lindsey hung up the phone and headed into the bathroom.
***
Angel stood under the hot spray and just let the water cascade over
his body.Funny how this used to make me feel warm. Now, it's
just a poor substitute for Lindsey and his heat. Smiling, he let
his mind wander back over the last eight hours and all that had
happened, lingering as the events of the last few hours replayed in
his head. Tasting Lindsey's blood was heaven, but tasting the man's
blood mixed with his come...That's the ultimate high for a
vampire. Total surrender. Wonder if Lindsey knew what really happened?
Lindsey watched as Angel reached down, took his now hard cock into
his hand and begin stroking it. What the hell is he thinking about
that made him hard? It had better be me!
"So, are you just going to stand there, watching.......or are you going to help your lover out?" Angel said, interrupting Lindsey's
thoughts.
Lindsey stepped into the shower and placed his hand over Angel's,
stilling the vampire's movements. "Tell me what you want."
"You, only you. But since things got a little...rough earlier, I'll give you a break. Just jack me off, Linds. Just touch me. Make me come, please." Angel grabbed Lindsey by the neck and pulled him to his mouth. Angel kissed Lindsey hard then pulled back slightly. "You know that you have the sexiest mouth I've ever had the pleasure of losing myself in." Angel bent down, gently kissing him this time.
Lindsey took Angel's cock in his hand, started slowly stroking
it, knowing what the very warm water, and the heat of his hand
undoubtedly felt like to the vampire. "If you hadn't held me
down, I would've torn myself. That was the most erotic thing I've
ever felt. I knew the claiming would be....slightly feral. But
that.....damn, that was hot, Angel," Lindsey whispered. "I liked it."
"Fuck, Lindsey. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but can we not talk about
it right now? All I want to focus on is your hand around my dick."
Angel managed to growl out as he placed his own hand over Lindsey's
and showed the young man exactly what he wanted. "Harder. Faster.
Please."
Lindsey smiled, gave the vampire what he wanted and soon Angel was
coming in his hand. Watching Angel's face when he came was an erotic experience for Lindsey. Using his free hand, he pulled Angel's face to him and kissed the vampire softly. "You're fucking beautiful, do you know that?" Releasing Angel's cock and bringing his hand up to his mouth, Lindsey let Angel watch as he licked all traces of Angel's come from his hand. He winked, "And you taste good, too."
"Shit, Linds, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Angel asked as he
pushed his lover up against the wall and began trailing kisses along
the young man's jaw.
"Actually, no. At least not right now," Lindsey replied. "Seems you have a meeting in a few minutes in Wesley's office. Your secretary called to remind you, but got me instead. I came to tell you and got a little....sidetracked."
"Fuck." Angel sighed and rested his forehead against Lindsey's.
He wanted to stay here in his suite and spend the day in Lindsey's
arms. Or vice versa. He wasn't picky....just so long as Lindsey
was touching him.
"Hey babe," Lindsey laid a hand against Angel's cheek, then kissed
him softly, "I want that too. And we will...just later. Now
go...save the world."
Angel stared at the man before him. Did I just say that out loud?
Lindsey gave Angel a wicked smile. "It's written all over your
face, how much you want me. And if you don't stop looking at me
with those eyes, then you will be late. Now clean up and get out. I need to take a shower, too. All this dried blood and come itches like hell."

Checkmate
Angel walked into Wesley's office seven minutes late. Harmony was
already there and handed him his morning mug of blood with a knowing
smile on her face. Angel nodded his thanks and looked over at the
other members of his team already gathered around the conference
table in the center of the room. Smiling, he pulled out a chair next
to Gunn and sat down. "Sorry I'm late. I was…detained. So, what
have I missed?
Wesley spoke first. "Not much. We haven't started yet. May I ask
where Lindsey is?"
"He was in my shower when I left. Why?" Angel answered. He knew that
there would be questions and he was prepared to answer them,
although he was a little surprised at the feeling of protectiveness
that surged through his body at the simple mention of his lover's
name.
"Lindsey? Lawyer-boy is here? In the building? When did this
happen?" Gunn asked, a little surprised. Yeah, he'd known it was
possible, hadn't cared about it when Angel had went to
Oklahoma....but that was before he'd had the upgrade done. So, the golden boy's back. Fuck! That's just not fair. I wonder if his contract can be broken?
"Sweet Pea's back? Hot damn! Now we're going to have fun!" Lorne chimed in from Gunn's right. About damn time! Now, I won't have to see that bitchy slayer in Angel's thoughts all the time!
"Lindsey's that good looking man in the elevator, right?" At
Wesley's nod she continued, "He got here right around sunset
yesterday. He helped me with the coatie problem. I really do need to thank him." Fred said smiling in anticipation. She was startled at the frown Gunn turned on her, the amazed look Wesley gave her, and didn't understand the growl that came from Angel. "What?" She said.
Lorne laughed. "Someone's jealous. Come on, Angel-cakes, hum a few bars of something for me. Although I seriously doubt I need that
much, since your face is speaking volumes this morning."
It's written all over your face, how much you want me. Lindsey's words played back in his mind and Angel decided he needed
to.......not hum a damn thing. He just smiled.
Lorne laughed. "Hmm, Angel-cakes, you're a very naughty fellow."
Fred exclaimed, "You mean.....Angel and.....that hot guy with the
earrings? No way! Shit, since when is Angel gay? Where was I when that happened??"
"Oh my God! Don't you know anything about vampires? Where the hell have you been, another dimension? I mean, haven't you ever heard the term bisexual, Fred?" Harmony said, disgust in her voice. "It's just like that show I watch...."
"Shut Up, Harmony!," Angel, Lorne, Gunn, and Wesley said in unison.
"Alright, you don't have to get all pissy about it," Harmony
grumbled.
"Angel, we need to talk about this seriously for a minute. You heard
what Eve said yesterday. The Senior Partners aren't pleased he's
here," Wesley said.
"Eve Morgan's a bitch," Angel said. "Do you know what she told
Lindsey yesterday?"
"Yes, I do. I was there, remember? But I believe she was serious in
regards to the Senior Partners and Lindsey. They don't want him
here and frankly, I'm not sure I do either." Wesley stated, a little miffed at the vampire's attitude.
"Ho, what? Eve Morgan? You're saying that girl is related to
Lilah?" Gunn said.
"Yes, she is. She's Lilah's sister. But that's not the issue right
now. Angel, you have to talk him into leaving, if nothing more,
than for his safety. His life could be in danger, for all we
know," Wesley said.
"If the Senior Partners didn't want Lindsey here, then why didn't
they reverse the curse Lilah cast? She cursed him with the
dreams....the dreams which led him to call me. The dreams which, oh
by the way, she gave me, too." Angel stood up and began walking
slowly around the table. "They obviously wanted Lindsey to come
back here……question is Why?"
"All the more reason for you to be wary of him." Wesley said. "It
seems to me that you are……were……to be Lindsey's main target. What if that spell we found is, in effect, still in place and Lindsey is here to……harm you in some way? Even if he doesn't know it? Can we take that risk?"
Angel said, in a no-nonsense tone of voice, "Enough with the spell shit! Lindsey is not leaving. That's final, Wesley."
"May I ask why he's so important to you?" Wesley pushed. He'd
watched as Angel came in and noticed how relaxed his boss was. He
hadn't seen that in a long time. But he couldn't help the feeling of
unease that washed over him.
"I was going to wait a little while before telling you this. I
wanted to give us some time to adjust to it ourselves, but Wesley's
right, Lindsey may be in danger from the Senior Partners and you
need to know why I can't just send him away." Angel
said. "Harmony, will you please shut the door?" Angel turned back to
his friends and smiled at each of them before catching Wesley's
eyes.
"Wesley's probably right and Lindsey isn't safe." Angel began, "But
it's not because he's here under some spell, with some secret
agenda to carry out for the Senior Partners. If there ever was such
a plan, then we……Lindsey and I.......we threw a big wrench into it
last night."
"I don't follow." Wesley said.
"We came to a new understanding," Angel stated. "Without getting
into details, let's just say that we bonded last night."
"OH MY GOD! You did it, didn't you, Angel? You claimed Lindsey.
You took-"
"HARMONY!" Angel snapped, "Sit down and shut up or leave. Either
way, keep your mouth shut."
Angel kept his eyes focused on Wesley and watched as the hazel eyes
turned a shade darker at Harmony's outburst. Angel knew then that
Wesley knew. Angel also knew that if anyone could understand this unexpected turn of events, it would be Wesley. He was counting on
that.
Taking a deep breath he began, "Yes, Harm, I claimed Lindsey. It
was mutual and No - I didn't turn him. I don't plan on ever
turning him." Angel paused, thinking Not unless I have to.
"What if he asks?" Wesley pushed, taking advantage of Angel's
silence.
"He won't. He doesn't want to be a vampire." Angel answered.
"That's true. Lindsey was always afraid of that. Especially in his
earlier days with Wolfram & Hart." Lorne stated.
"Angel, doesn't this claiming thing mean that you're bound to each other in some way?" Fred asked quietly, still in shock, trying to
imagine Angel with Lindsey.......because.....damn. What an image!
"Yes, it does," Wesley said. "It's a vampire ritual, Fred. It's
mystical, ageless, and eternal. And it can be quite brutal, from
what I understand. Is Lindsey.....you didn't hurt him, did you?"
Angel said, "He's fine, Wesley. Lindsey knew what to expect. You
didn't think he'd come back here, to a place he hates, just for
kicks, now....did you? I mean, with the exception of Fred and
Harmony, you all thought I'd go after him a long time ago. You all
knew I had a thing for Lindsey. It's hardly a shock now, is it?"
"Holy Shit!," Harmony squealed. "Yes! My boss so rules! I love this job!" Noticing the looks sent her way, she muttered, "Shutting up now. Jeez!"
The former watcher looked back at his friend and said, "Why didn't
you just mark him, if you wanted to show he was yours? I don't
understand this, when you know Lindsey doesn't believe in your
curse."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!," Gunn said. "That's impossible, man.
Lindsey worked damn hard trying to bring Angelus fourth. Don't y'all remember that?"
"No," Lorne softly said. "It was never Angelus Lindsey focused
on. He always saw Angel somewhat differently than we do. I'm not
saying he's right, we all know better. But.....he's not entirely
wrong, either." He looked like he wanted to add something else, but refrained from doing so.
"What is it, Lorne?" Angel asked.
"I believe Lindsey's been in love with you a very long time, Angel
cakes. I could see it all over him the last time I read him, right
before he left LA," Lorne said.
"Are you sure about that, Lorne?" Wesley said, unconvinced.
"100%, Wesley. His aura was screaming it. But Sweet Pea was too
busy being resentful and angry to pay attention," Lorne said.
Angel smiled happily. I knew Wesley was wrong!
Silence fell. Lorne and Harmony were smiling like idiots. Fred still
looked shell-shocked. Gunn was looking like a stray had just
wandered into his bone yard. Wesley was concerned for his friend,
and he felt like some new apocalypse had just begun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lindsey walked out of the bathroom, into the bedroom. Wasn't really
surprised to find Eve sitting on the bed. Bitch! Damn glad he'd
wrapped a towel around his waist, he frowned at her. "How the hell
did you get in here?"
Eve smiled sweetly. "I have a key, of course. Why wouldn't I? I did
have sex with him, you know."
Lindsey laughed. "That dog won't hunt, Eve. Angel told me all about it. Now, gimme," he said, holding out his hand. She dug in her
pocket, handed it to him.
Eve shrugged. "I can get another, you know. Call it a perk of the
job."
"If you know what's best for you, you'd better just do your job, and
stop trying to play a game, Eve. Didn't you learn anything from
Lilah?" Lindsey said.
Eve smiled that evil little smile of hers. Looked him up and down.
She leaned back a little, supporting her back with her elbows. "You
look damn good, Lindsey. Why don't you join me? We could play while
Angel's gone."
Lindsey looked her over with the same arrogance she had him. She was
pretty, he had to give her that. But even when he'd been trying so
damn hard to be evil, he hadn't been that stupid. He looked into
her eyes, and said, "And you just look desperate, Eve. I'd fuck
every demon in hell before I'd fuck you. What about that don't you
understand?"
Eve laughed, stood up, and moved close to him. She touched the bite
mark Angel had left. "Looks to me as if you have a head start on
that ambition, Lindsey. What happened? Angel decided to put his mark
on you? I bet you came when he did it, too."
Lindsey chuckled. "It's more.....possessive than that, Eve
darlin'."
She jerked her hand away. "He didn't do that." she hissed.
"No, he didn't," Lindsey taunted her. "We did it."
"You bastard!" Eve snarled, then she slapped him. She pulled her hand back to do it again, and was shocked when it was caught in a
firm grip, and she was violently turned around.
"Angel does not like his family fucked with, pet. Best you learn that now. Save yourself a whole lotta grief later," Spike said.
"Let me go, you jackass," Eve demanded.
Spike smiled, let her arm go, then stood to the side.
Rubbing her wrist, Eve shot Lindsey an evil glare. "The Senior
Partners aren't going to be pleased about this, Lindsey. This wasn't
the way it was supposed to happen."
"Oh, let me guess. I was supposed to turn him dark again, and then
seduce him? ," Lindsey laughed. "If that's what the plan was, you
can forget it, sweetheart. The Senior Partners don't have anything
to do with this."
Eve smiled. "You don't think so? Why else would you still be alive,
Lindsey?"
"I'm alive because they have better things to worry about than
little ole me, that's why," Lindsey said. "I'm nothing to them,
found that out years ago......so don't try and pull that bullshit on me, darlin', cause it ain't working."
"I'm going to enjoy the look on your face when you find out
differently," Eve said. "You're still under contract, you know."
Lindsey smirked at her. "What do you think they'll do? Suck me into
a portal, so we can have a chat about how I'm such a bad boy?"
Eve glared at him, angrily muttered, "Asshole.", then turned around
and left with as much panache as she could muster.
"Bloody hell, I wish Angel would just let me eat her and get it over with!" Spike growled.
Lindsey laughed. "I'd be careful what you wish for, man. Her veins
are probably full of venom."
Spike chuckled. "Wouldn't doubt it. So, you're Lindsey, right?
Heard `em talking in the Watcher's office.....thought I'd come check
on you, see if you were okay after last night, since you're family
now, and all. I'm Spike."
"Spike? Oh, yeah- I know who you are," Lindsey said. "Drusilla
turned you in London....hey, wait a second. Why'd you call me
family? Angel didn't turn me."
"Knew that, pet. He told me what he was gonna do, if you came back,"
Spike said. "That makes you family in my book." He stepped into
Lindsey's personal space, leaned forward a little, and inhaled the
younger man's aroma.
Lindsey went perfectly still. He'd had this done to him an unknown
number of times, and he'd lost whatever small fear he'd had long
ago. Besides, Spike couldn't bite him now, not after the claiming.
In fact, if Spike didn't stop touching him, he was fixing to find
out Lindsey didn't play that game any more.
"Mmm, you smell sweet and spicy, like a gingersnap cookie," Spike
softly said. "Good thing Angel did it last night, or I'd be tempted,
cause boy, you smell good enough to eat. Tell me,
Gingersnap......did you like what Angel did to you?"
"What?" Lindsey said, mystified.
Spike's glance slid down to the towel around the young man's waist.
Lindsey turned red. That was answer enough for Spike. He
grinned. "Hmm, you're a naughty boy, aren't you? Damn, Angel knows how to pick them," he said. "Come on, get dressed, let's go annoy him, Gingersnap. I wanna see the look on his fa-"
"Owww!" They both yelled. Lindsey put his hand on his upper arm, glaring at Spike.
Spike pulled away, frowning at the light burn on his palm. He turned
Lindsey's arm, looked at the tattoo, and grinned again. "Oh, you're
just full of surprises, aren't you? Can Peaches touch that?"
Lindsey jerked out of his grasp, and moved away from Spike. "Not
that I'm aware of, but after last night, I'm not sure," he said,
pulling his jeans on.
"I hope he can't! I bet he was pissed off." Spike said, glee in his
voice, and a gleam of mischief in his eyes. "Angel finally found someone he wants forever, and it would just be too funny if he can't touch all of you. C'mon, hurry up, I wanna go fuck with his head a little!"
Lindsey shook his head, and continued dressing, but he couldn't keep
from smiling at Spike, who was acting like a kid with a new toy.
who has been enjoying our little story and sending us fantastic
feedback! You're keeping the muses very happy. Since we started
this little story last year, we had a number of chapters ready to go
and were able to post everyday ~sans weekends~ up until now. Now the story has caught up to us and real life has become a factor.
However, If you will please bear with us...Kini and I are hoping
to be able to post twice a week. How long is this story? We
honestly have no idea, could be 30 chapters, could be 80. We'll
just keep on it until the story is told. We only hope that you will
be there in the end too.
Thanks again for all the support!

Summary:A vampire stakes a more possessive claim on Lindsey.
Chapter 21
Heaven or Hell
When the first drop of blood hit his tongue, Angel moaned. He knew he'd missed Lindsey everyday that they were apart, but hadn't realized just how starved he was for the young man. Until now. Taking a deep pull and savoring the rich, coppery taste that was uniquely Lindsey, Angel gently retracted his fangs and ran his tongue over the weeping punctures. He began kissing his way up Lindsey's throat when he felt the young man pull back.
"Say it," Lindsey said, looking Angel square in the eye.
Angel knew exactly what Lindsey wanted him to say and he wanted to, very badly. The words were right there on the tip of his tongue, yet in the back of his mind, he heard Spike's words to him the night the other vampire had left to seek Buffy out: "You have a soul, Angel. It wouldn't just be binding him to you. You'd be bound to him, as well. You know it's eternal. As far as I know, a souled vampire's never done it before. Who knows what the consequences would be?"
Needing to be sure that Lindsey knew and understood the realities of such simple words, Angel leaned forward, kissing Lindsey's neck, "Be sure, Lindsey," Angel growled softly into the young man's ear. "If we do this, there's no going back. No Oklahoma. No running away. It's forever."
Do I want this? A faint flutter of fear flew through his gut as the words Angel had spoken to him back in Oklahoma echoed in his head. "A claiming is for eternity, Lindsey. It binds the soul of the human to the vampire. I've never done it before." He had spent the last three months closing another chapter in his life. He had sold his part of the firm, his house and most of the contents. He kept his bedroom furniture and had it shipped to the storage facility that he used to store his truck back in his Wolfram & Hart days.
Throwing his duffel and guitar into the truck, he had headed out.
That was two months ago. Lindsey remembered a client he'd had when he was new at the firm, a demonologist, specializing in vampires and vampire customs. He looked him up and spent a month with the professor in Arizona. He studied everything he could find in regards to claiming and other vampire rituals. He probably knew more about it than Angel did. Do I want this? Yes...I do. God, yes.....I do.
Lightly grabbing the back of the vampire's neck, Lindsey pulled Angel back so he could look the older man in the eye and shrugged. "Sold it all, Angel. Nothing to go back to. And as for the running away? Not going to……unless you come, too." Lindsey leaned in and kissed Angel firmly, then asked, "Now the question is: Are you sure? Do you really want this? Want me?"
Angel met Lindsey's look head on, "Yes, Lindsey, I want this. I want you more than anything else, but……"
Lindsey cut off Angel's rebuttal with a light touch of warm fingers on cool lips, then moving in to replace warm fingers with warm lips, until he was kissing Angel lightly. Lindsey looked up at Angel and made his wants known, "Then say it, Angel."
Angel leaned into Lindsey's neck and ran his tongue over the
punctures. Feeling very little blood, he slid his fangs gently into the slightly seeping holes, and opened them back up. Lindsey moaned at the feel of Angel's pull and tried to move in closer to the vampire. His moan turned into a groan of frustration when Angel withdrew and ran his tongue back over the marks.
Angel backed away from Lindsey's neck and stood so that he was eye to eye with the young man, Lindsey's blood still staining the vampire's lips. "Your blood becomes my blood, as I bind my soul to yours. I take you as my beloved, for all eternity, in this life and any that may follow. Heaven or Hell, wherever I end up, so too will you, Lindsey McDonald, for we can never be separated again," Angel softly said, a smirk on his lips as he said the last part.
"Snarky bastard,"Lindsey said, but he smiled back, reached over and licked the blood off Angel's lips, then pushed his tongue inside and cleaned out all remaining traces of blood from inside Angel's mouth.Damn, he did it. He did it right, too. Holy fuck!
Angel moaned as the erotic feeling of what Lindsey was doing to his mouth –– and inadvertently to the rest of his body- swept over him. He was hard as a rock and at the end of his patience. Wrapping his arms around the young man, Angel picked Lindsey straight up off the floor and carried the lawyer to the bedroom, never losing the connection Lindsey had created with his kiss.
In the five seconds it took Angel to reach the bed, he was done being nice. Dropping Lindsey unceremoniously onto the bed, effectively breaking the kiss, he headed to the bathroom.
"Angel?" Lindsey said, struggling to regain awareness.
"Strip." Angel demanded and disappeared into the other room.
Lindsey glared at the vampire's back, before smiling to himself. He knew Angel was fighting to regain some control and in no way was he going to give it to the vampire. Quickly getting undressed, he crawled back onto the bed and sat back against the head board looking very much like the happy man that he was.
Holy Shit. I truly belong to Angel now. Lindsey thought as he leaned back, closed his eyes and slowly ran his fingers over the bite mark on his neck. Gently taking his semi-erect cock into his hand and replaying in his mind what had just happened in the other room, Lindsey stroked himself into a full blown, ragingly painful hard-on. He was picking up speed, nearing completion when Angel's voice in his ear made him freeze.
"Don't come, Lindsey. Don't you dare fucking come!" Angel growled.
"Fuck, Angel. Make some goddamn noise occasionally, will ya! Scared me to death." Lindsey grabbed the base of his cock and squeezed until he feel himself relax enough to let go.
"You still feel very much alive to me." Angel said, nuzzling
Lindsey's neck.
Taking advantage of Angel's preoccupation with his neck, Lindsey swung himself over the vampire and pinned him to the bed. Leaning down, he gave Angel's mouth a very thorough kiss then began placing light kisses along the vampire's jaw. Feeling Angel's body shaking with barely contained need, Lindsey whispered in the older man's ear, "You've made me yours, Angel……now it's time to make you mine."
"It's about fucking time, Linds. I was beginning to think you were going to play Tease the Vampire all fucking night. And for the record……NOT a good idea." Angel growled then hissed when Lindsey's tongue found a nipple and laved it gently. "Lindsey……you're still teasing. Not a good i-Fuck Yes!" Angel said loudly as Lindsey bit down on his nipple. The stinging sensation shot straight to his dick, causing Angel to buck up hard and almost dislodging Lindsey from atop him. Grabbing Lindsey's head in his hands, Angel wrapped his fingers in Lindsey's hair and held on while the young man repeated his actions on the other nipple.
Lindsey smiled at the almost painful way Angel was pulling at his hair. He knew Angel was close and began licking a trail down the vampire's body until he was laying comfortably between Angel's legs. Taking Angel's cool, velvety length in his hand, Lindsey looked up at the vampire whose face was awash with both want and need and couldn't help the feeling of possessiveness that stole over him. He's finally going to be mine, and mine alone. He couldn't help the small smile of anticipation that flickered across his face as he slowly guided Angel's cock into his mouth.
Holy hell! His mouth is so damn hot! Angel hissed and carefully unfisted his hands from Lindsey's hair and fisted them in the sheet instead, trying desperately to keep from letting go and just fucking Lindsey's mouth for all it was worth. Gasping with unneeded breaths, he looked down at the young man between his legs and watched as the young man drove him closer and closer to the edge.
Lindsey alternated between soft, slow strokes applying lots of
pressure on the underside with his tongue, to short, fast strokes, occasionally pausing over the head to send his tongue into the slit to lick up the pre-come collecting there.
"Lindsey……" Angel said warningly.
Smiling, Lindsey decided Angel had had enough teasing and danced two fingers along Angel's lips. Angel sucked them into his mouth greedily, knowing exactly what the young man was up to. Taking his well coated fingers from Angel's mouth, Lindsey teased Angel's opening before gently sliding one finger in. Angel arched up off the bed and Lindsey had to use his other hand to hold the vampire down. Easing his finger out and adding the second one, Lindsey swallowed Angel's cock down as far as he could and began humming as he worked his fingers back inside Angel.
As soon as Lindsey hit that sweet spot inside him, Angel hit
sensation overload and saw stars as his orgasm hit and he came with a yell. "Oh, Fuck, Lindsey.......YES! YES! Fuck, Lindsey. Yes!" Angel kept up the litany of repeated words as he rode the orgasm to completion, quieting down as Lindsey licked him clean.
Reaching down and burying a hand in his hair, Angel pulled Lindsey up to him and dove into the young man's mouth, kissing him with complete abandon. "Fuck me now, Lindsey. I want to feel your heat inside of me." Angel reached over to the night stand and grabbed the small bottle of lotion sitting there. Placing it in Lindsey's hand, he looked into passion filled blue eyes and saw his own need reflected there. "I need to feel you inside me."
Lindsey flipped open the bottle of lotion and poured some into his hand. Knowing Angel required little – if any – recovery time, he recoated his fingers and shoved them back inside the vampire. He watched as Angel arched up to meet his hand, burying his fingers deep inside the vampire. With his other hand, Lindsey coated his now painfully hard cock with lotion, then moved into position over Angel.
Angel groaned in frustration when Lindsey removed his fingers, but then moaned when he felt something thicker and hotter teasing his entrance.
"Angel, look at me," Lindsey softly said.
Angel opened his eyes and looked at the man above him,
questioningly. "What?"
"Just wanted to tell you…you're mine now." And with those words Lindsey drove himself deep into Angel's body.
"Fuck, Lindsey!Yes!" Angel screamed, damn near delirious feeling that heat moving inside him. He had never felt that kind of heat inside before.......and he wanted more. He squeezed Lindsey with his inner muscles, whispered, "God, you're so hot, Linds....so damn hot." He saw a flicker of uncertainty on Lindsey's face, so he said, "Fuck me, Lindsey. Fuck me hard." Then he watched as the man above him lost control and began fucking him with abandon.
Lindsey couldn't tell when he'd lost control. All he knew was that Angel felt incredible. He was so tight that Lindsey was afraid he'd hurt him when he drove into him, but Angel's demand to fuck him harder put those fears to rest. Wanting to please his lover by giving him what he wanted, Lindsey began pounding into Angel for all he was worth. Then Angel started moving in rhythm with Lindsey's thrusts and the young lawyer knew the time had come. Looking down at Angel's now hard cock, Lindsey grabbed it and using the pre-come as a lubricant Lindsey began stroking it in time with his thrusts.
"Shit, Lindsey. That feels so good. You feel so good. Please, don't stop. Don't ever stop." Angel muttered.
Lindsey smiled, leaned over, kissed Angel then licked his way down the vampire's neck. Sucking on the side of Angel's neck, Lindsey waited until he felt Angel squeeze him again then drove hard up into the vampire, saying as he did so, "Your blood becomes my blood, as I bind my soul to yours. I take you as my beloved, for all eternity, in this life and any that may follow. Heaven or Hell, wherever I end up, so too will you, Angel, for we can never be separated again." Then Lindsey sank his teeth hard into Angel's neck, breaking the skin, drawing blood.
"HOLYHELLSONOFABITCH, LINDSEY!" Angel yelled as he came, splashing Lindsey's chest with his cool seed.
Feeling Angel's ass muscles clench tight around him and tasting Angel's blood in his mouth, Lindsey's orgasm crashed through him and with one final thrust he came deep inside his lover. Letting the waves of his climax wash over him, Lindsey leaned down to kiss Angel. Loving the feel of the vampire's tongue erotically playing with his, losing himself in the kiss itself, the young man was surprised at suddenly being flipped over onto his back, Angel covering him.
Angel gazed down at Lindsey, grinning at his shock in the swift change of position. "Bloodthirsty little bastard, aren't you?"
Lindsey licked his lips. "Hell, Angel. You know I had to do that. It's the way it's done. Spent a month researching it, after I thought about it. That's just me, you know? I don't do things half-way."
"Oh, yeah, I know you, Lindsey," Angel said, in a voice that sent chills down Lindsey's spine. "I've known you since I looked into your eyes in the middle of that courtroom." He growled, then leaned down to lick the sensitive spot right behind Lindsey's earlobe.
Lindsey arched up, a moan escaping his lips. "Fuck, Angel," he groaned, his voice raspy and harsh.
"You're wild, unpredictable, a little dangerous," Angel whispered into his ear. "Like a snake in a pit. A rattlesnake. Yeah, that's you, Lindsey. You know what? I like it."
"Damn good thing you do, after what we just did," Lindsey uttered, every nerve in his body screaming in anticipation.
"What, that?" Angel said, a wicked smile on his lips. "That was foreplay, Lindsey. Now.........I'm gonna show you what having a vampire as a bedmate's really all about."
Burning Imprints~ Chapter 22
Savage
Lindsey was no longer amazed at his body's response to the
vampire as Angel's words shot to his groin, making his cock jump in
response. Smiling in anticipation, he took Angel's head in his
hands and knotted his fingers in his lover's hair. Pulling Angel
down, Lindsey gave him a brief and bruising kiss before burying his
head in Angel's neck. Running his tongue across the mark he had left
just moments earlier, Lindsey licked his way up to Angel's
ear. "Bring it on, babe. I didn't come here for a snugglefest."
Lindsey whispered before leaning back down and sinking his teeth
back into Angel's neck.
"Holy fucking hell, Lindsey." The vampire gasped as he felt Lindsey's bite all through his body. He felt his fangs descend and was about to return the favor when Lindsey pulled back up and claimed his mouth once again. Having decided that Lindsey's mouth had to be the eighth deadliest sin created, at least to me, the vampire smiled,inwardly and decided to let the young man keep control of this kiss for now.
For now lasted all of about five seconds. Lindsey had pierced his tongue on one of the fangs and the combined taste of their
blood sent the vampire spiraling out of control. Struggling to maintain even a tenuous degree of control, the vampire grabbed Lindsey's head and held him in place while he ravaged the warm mouth with his tongue. Lindsey gave in with a groan and arched up to grind his cock into Angel's leg as he felt those fangs graze over his bottom lip.
Feeling Lindsey's erection pushing against his leg, the vampire
reached down and took it in his hand. He loved the feel of Lindsey's
cock, whether it was in his hand or deeply buried in his body, he
wanted it. And all that heat and hardness wrapped in velvety
softness, tasting like heavy cream was what the vampire craved now. Rubbing his thumb over the head, gathering the pre-come that was collecting there, Angel began stroking Lindsey alternating gentle tugs with almost brutal pulls. Feeling Lindsey's moan vibrate
through his mouth, his own cock jumped in response.
Pulling his mouth away from Lindsey's, the vampire began kissing and
licking his way down his lover's body. "Are you ready to find out
what a true claiming feels like, Lin?" The vampire asked as he took a nipple into his mouth and laved it gently, before piercing it gently with his teeth.
"Fuck, Angel!" Lindsey hissed and arched up into Angel's fist,
which was gripping him tightly.
"Not yet, babe, but we'll get there." The vampire smirked.
"Fuck, then get on with it. Quit jacking around." Lindsey said,
frustration dripping off every word.
"You didn't answer my question, Lin." The vampire said, licking
Lindsey's other nipple and slowly moving the hand wrapped around the
hot cock, simultaneously.
"Shit, Angel. You and your need to talk all the damn time is going
to kill me. Can't you put that mouth to better use?" Lindsey
ground out, pulling Angel back up to his mouth and shoving his
tongue down the vampire's throat, slicing open his tongue.
Lindsey's blood filled his mouth and the vampire began sucking at
Lindsey's mouth like a starving man. When the blood had slowed to
a trickle, he pulled away from Lindsey's mouth and slithered
down the young man's body until he was face to balls with
Lindsey's cock.
The vampire pinned Lindsey down with one hand while the other hand gripped Lindsey's cock tightly. Looking up and catching the passion
filled stare watching him, the vampire said, "Do you trust me, Lindsey?"
"Dammit, Angel! Your fucking fangs are inches away from my cock, my
balls are practically in your palm and I'm begging you to suck me
off, so yeah, I'd say I trust you."
The vampire smiled. Leaning down slightly, he licked the head of
Lindsey's cock, cleaning it of the salty pre-come before swallowing
the young man whole.
Lindsey bucked up helplessly, trying to shove more of his length
into Angel's mouth. He wanted to fuck Angel's mouth desperately, but
he couldn't move. "Shit, Angel. I need to move, please. Please let me move."
The vampire ignored Lindsey's plea and continued working Lindsey's
cock. Tongue stroking and swirling, teeth lightly grazing as his
mouth moved up and down the shaft. Removing his hand from Lindsey's
cock, he took two saliva slicked fingers and wormed them into
Lindsey's tight passage.
"Fuck! Angel...please baby, please..." Lindsey was panting, the need to move raging now, and when the vampire scraped a nail over that bundle of nerves inside him, Lindsey begged. "Please, please, please, Angel, please. I want you inside me when I come, please."
Lindsey's begging was music to the vampire's ears and went straight
to his own aching cock. He scissored his fingers inside Lindsey
to give him a little more room, and then began to move them in time
with his mouth. Lindsey screamed. He felt Lindsey's hands tighten
up in his hair, pulling at it painfully, and he knew the young man
was close. Holding Lindsey down, so he couldn't move at all, the vampire closed his eyes and let instinct ride him. He pushed his fingers hard against Lindsey's prostate and swallowed the throbbing
hardness down his into his throat. When he was nose to curls at the base of Lindsey's cock, he took a deep breath and gently eased his fangs into the tender flesh.
Lindsey knew what the vampire was going to do just seconds before feeling the piercing pain shoot through his body, only to be followed by the hardest, mind blowing orgasm he had ever had. "HOLY SHIT! ANGEL!" He tried desperately to arch up into his mouth but the vampire held him hard against the mattress. "Fuck...fuck...FUCK!
UNNGH." Lindsey gave one last half-hearted attempt to move before
everything went black.
The vampire retracted the fangs, let Lindsey slip from his mouth, a grin of extreme satisfaction on his face. Lindsey was his now, too. He gently moved back up the young man's body, checking out every bite mark to be sure he hadn't been too brutal in his claiming. In the process, he inadvertently ran his hand over the tattoo on Lindsey's arm. And although he still felt extreme heat coming from it, he wasn't burned this time. He smiled, leaned closer and just inhaled the aroma that exuded from Lindsey now. Mmm....he smells so damn good after he comes. Salty, hot, and musky. You're mine now too, Lindsey McDonald. Come what may. Then Angelus placed a soft kiss on his lover's forehead, and let himself fall into contented sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lindsey awoke to the soft sound of the telephone ringing on the
night stand next to the bed. Waiting for Angel to answer it, Lindsey
reached out to touch his lover but came up empty instead. Glancing
around the room, he reached over and picked up the handset. "Angel?"
"Hardly. Who are you?" The voice that came through and assaulted Lindsey's ears was the same annoying one he'd gotten when
he'd called from Oklahoma.
Lindsey smiled as he caught the sound of the shower running in
the next room. "I'm Angel's wet dream, darlin'. Who are you?"
"I'm his assistant, Harmony, and if you're Angel's wet
dream, then you must be Lindsey. So, do me a favor and tell Angel
he has a meeting in Wesley's office in 15 minutes. Please."
"Will do." Lindsey hung up the phone and headed into the bathroom.
***
Angel stood under the hot spray and just let the water cascade over
his body.Funny how this used to make me feel warm. Now, it's
just a poor substitute for Lindsey and his heat. Smiling, he let
his mind wander back over the last eight hours and all that had
happened, lingering as the events of the last few hours replayed in
his head. Tasting Lindsey's blood was heaven, but tasting the man's
blood mixed with his come...That's the ultimate high for a
vampire. Total surrender. Wonder if Lindsey knew what really happened?
Lindsey watched as Angel reached down, took his now hard cock into
his hand and begin stroking it. What the hell is he thinking about
that made him hard? It had better be me!
"So, are you just going to stand there, watching.......or are you going to help your lover out?" Angel said, interrupting Lindsey's
thoughts.
Lindsey stepped into the shower and placed his hand over Angel's,
stilling the vampire's movements. "Tell me what you want."
"You, only you. But since things got a little...rough earlier, I'll give you a break. Just jack me off, Linds. Just touch me. Make me come, please." Angel grabbed Lindsey by the neck and pulled him to his mouth. Angel kissed Lindsey hard then pulled back slightly. "You know that you have the sexiest mouth I've ever had the pleasure of losing myself in." Angel bent down, gently kissing him this time.
Lindsey took Angel's cock in his hand, started slowly stroking
it, knowing what the very warm water, and the heat of his hand
undoubtedly felt like to the vampire. "If you hadn't held me
down, I would've torn myself. That was the most erotic thing I've
ever felt. I knew the claiming would be....slightly feral. But
that.....damn, that was hot, Angel," Lindsey whispered. "I liked it."
"Fuck, Lindsey. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but can we not talk about
it right now? All I want to focus on is your hand around my dick."
Angel managed to growl out as he placed his own hand over Lindsey's
and showed the young man exactly what he wanted. "Harder. Faster.
Please."
Lindsey smiled, gave the vampire what he wanted and soon Angel was
coming in his hand. Watching Angel's face when he came was an erotic experience for Lindsey. Using his free hand, he pulled Angel's face to him and kissed the vampire softly. "You're fucking beautiful, do you know that?" Releasing Angel's cock and bringing his hand up to his mouth, Lindsey let Angel watch as he licked all traces of Angel's come from his hand. He winked, "And you taste good, too."
"Shit, Linds, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Angel asked as he
pushed his lover up against the wall and began trailing kisses along
the young man's jaw.
"Actually, no. At least not right now," Lindsey replied. "Seems you have a meeting in a few minutes in Wesley's office. Your secretary called to remind you, but got me instead. I came to tell you and got a little....sidetracked."
"Fuck." Angel sighed and rested his forehead against Lindsey's.
He wanted to stay here in his suite and spend the day in Lindsey's
arms. Or vice versa. He wasn't picky....just so long as Lindsey
was touching him.
"Hey babe," Lindsey laid a hand against Angel's cheek, then kissed
him softly, "I want that too. And we will...just later. Now
go...save the world."
Angel stared at the man before him. Did I just say that out loud?
Lindsey gave Angel a wicked smile. "It's written all over your
face, how much you want me. And if you don't stop looking at me
with those eyes, then you will be late. Now clean up and get out. I need to take a shower, too. All this dried blood and come itches like hell."
Burning Imprints~ Chapter 23
Checkmate
Angel walked into Wesley's office seven minutes late. Harmony was
already there and handed him his morning mug of blood with a knowing
smile on her face. Angel nodded his thanks and looked over at the
other members of his team already gathered around the conference
table in the center of the room. Smiling, he pulled out a chair next
to Gunn and sat down. "Sorry I'm late. I was…detained. So, what
have I missed?
Wesley spoke first. "Not much. We haven't started yet. May I ask
where Lindsey is?"
"He was in my shower when I left. Why?" Angel answered. He knew that
there would be questions and he was prepared to answer them,
although he was a little surprised at the feeling of protectiveness
that surged through his body at the simple mention of his lover's
name.
"Lindsey? Lawyer-boy is here? In the building? When did this
happen?" Gunn asked, a little surprised. Yeah, he'd known it was
possible, hadn't cared about it when Angel had went to
Oklahoma....but that was before he'd had the upgrade done. So, the golden boy's back. Fuck! That's just not fair. I wonder if his contract can be broken?
"Sweet Pea's back? Hot damn! Now we're going to have fun!" Lorne chimed in from Gunn's right. About damn time! Now, I won't have to see that bitchy slayer in Angel's thoughts all the time!
"Lindsey's that good looking man in the elevator, right?" At
Wesley's nod she continued, "He got here right around sunset
yesterday. He helped me with the coatie problem. I really do need to thank him." Fred said smiling in anticipation. She was startled at the frown Gunn turned on her, the amazed look Wesley gave her, and didn't understand the growl that came from Angel. "What?" She said.
Lorne laughed. "Someone's jealous. Come on, Angel-cakes, hum a few bars of something for me. Although I seriously doubt I need that
much, since your face is speaking volumes this morning."
It's written all over your face, how much you want me. Lindsey's words played back in his mind and Angel decided he needed
to.......not hum a damn thing. He just smiled.
Lorne laughed. "Hmm, Angel-cakes, you're a very naughty fellow."
Fred exclaimed, "You mean.....Angel and.....that hot guy with the
earrings? No way! Shit, since when is Angel gay? Where was I when that happened??"
"Oh my God! Don't you know anything about vampires? Where the hell have you been, another dimension? I mean, haven't you ever heard the term bisexual, Fred?" Harmony said, disgust in her voice. "It's just like that show I watch...."
"Shut Up, Harmony!," Angel, Lorne, Gunn, and Wesley said in unison.
"Alright, you don't have to get all pissy about it," Harmony
grumbled.
"Angel, we need to talk about this seriously for a minute. You heard
what Eve said yesterday. The Senior Partners aren't pleased he's
here," Wesley said.
"Eve Morgan's a bitch," Angel said. "Do you know what she told
Lindsey yesterday?"
"Yes, I do. I was there, remember? But I believe she was serious in
regards to the Senior Partners and Lindsey. They don't want him
here and frankly, I'm not sure I do either." Wesley stated, a little miffed at the vampire's attitude.
"Ho, what? Eve Morgan? You're saying that girl is related to
Lilah?" Gunn said.
"Yes, she is. She's Lilah's sister. But that's not the issue right
now. Angel, you have to talk him into leaving, if nothing more,
than for his safety. His life could be in danger, for all we
know," Wesley said.
"If the Senior Partners didn't want Lindsey here, then why didn't
they reverse the curse Lilah cast? She cursed him with the
dreams....the dreams which led him to call me. The dreams which, oh
by the way, she gave me, too." Angel stood up and began walking
slowly around the table. "They obviously wanted Lindsey to come
back here……question is Why?"
"All the more reason for you to be wary of him." Wesley said. "It
seems to me that you are……were……to be Lindsey's main target. What if that spell we found is, in effect, still in place and Lindsey is here to……harm you in some way? Even if he doesn't know it? Can we take that risk?"
Angel said, in a no-nonsense tone of voice, "Enough with the spell shit! Lindsey is not leaving. That's final, Wesley."
"May I ask why he's so important to you?" Wesley pushed. He'd
watched as Angel came in and noticed how relaxed his boss was. He
hadn't seen that in a long time. But he couldn't help the feeling of
unease that washed over him.
"I was going to wait a little while before telling you this. I
wanted to give us some time to adjust to it ourselves, but Wesley's
right, Lindsey may be in danger from the Senior Partners and you
need to know why I can't just send him away." Angel
said. "Harmony, will you please shut the door?" Angel turned back to
his friends and smiled at each of them before catching Wesley's
eyes.
"Wesley's probably right and Lindsey isn't safe." Angel began, "But
it's not because he's here under some spell, with some secret
agenda to carry out for the Senior Partners. If there ever was such
a plan, then we……Lindsey and I.......we threw a big wrench into it
last night."
"I don't follow." Wesley said.
"We came to a new understanding," Angel stated. "Without getting
into details, let's just say that we bonded last night."
"OH MY GOD! You did it, didn't you, Angel? You claimed Lindsey.
You took-"
"HARMONY!" Angel snapped, "Sit down and shut up or leave. Either
way, keep your mouth shut."
Angel kept his eyes focused on Wesley and watched as the hazel eyes
turned a shade darker at Harmony's outburst. Angel knew then that
Wesley knew. Angel also knew that if anyone could understand this unexpected turn of events, it would be Wesley. He was counting on
that.
Taking a deep breath he began, "Yes, Harm, I claimed Lindsey. It
was mutual and No - I didn't turn him. I don't plan on ever
turning him." Angel paused, thinking Not unless I have to.
"What if he asks?" Wesley pushed, taking advantage of Angel's
silence.
"He won't. He doesn't want to be a vampire." Angel answered.
"That's true. Lindsey was always afraid of that. Especially in his
earlier days with Wolfram & Hart." Lorne stated.
"Angel, doesn't this claiming thing mean that you're bound to each other in some way?" Fred asked quietly, still in shock, trying to
imagine Angel with Lindsey.......because.....damn. What an image!
"Yes, it does," Wesley said. "It's a vampire ritual, Fred. It's
mystical, ageless, and eternal. And it can be quite brutal, from
what I understand. Is Lindsey.....you didn't hurt him, did you?"
Angel said, "He's fine, Wesley. Lindsey knew what to expect. You
didn't think he'd come back here, to a place he hates, just for
kicks, now....did you? I mean, with the exception of Fred and
Harmony, you all thought I'd go after him a long time ago. You all
knew I had a thing for Lindsey. It's hardly a shock now, is it?"
"Holy Shit!," Harmony squealed. "Yes! My boss so rules! I love this job!" Noticing the looks sent her way, she muttered, "Shutting up now. Jeez!"
The former watcher looked back at his friend and said, "Why didn't
you just mark him, if you wanted to show he was yours? I don't
understand this, when you know Lindsey doesn't believe in your
curse."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!," Gunn said. "That's impossible, man.
Lindsey worked damn hard trying to bring Angelus fourth. Don't y'all remember that?"
"No," Lorne softly said. "It was never Angelus Lindsey focused
on. He always saw Angel somewhat differently than we do. I'm not
saying he's right, we all know better. But.....he's not entirely
wrong, either." He looked like he wanted to add something else, but refrained from doing so.
"What is it, Lorne?" Angel asked.
"I believe Lindsey's been in love with you a very long time, Angel
cakes. I could see it all over him the last time I read him, right
before he left LA," Lorne said.
"Are you sure about that, Lorne?" Wesley said, unconvinced.
"100%, Wesley. His aura was screaming it. But Sweet Pea was too
busy being resentful and angry to pay attention," Lorne said.
Angel smiled happily. I knew Wesley was wrong!
Silence fell. Lorne and Harmony were smiling like idiots. Fred still
looked shell-shocked. Gunn was looking like a stray had just
wandered into his bone yard. Wesley was concerned for his friend,
and he felt like some new apocalypse had just begun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lindsey walked out of the bathroom, into the bedroom. Wasn't really
surprised to find Eve sitting on the bed. Bitch! Damn glad he'd
wrapped a towel around his waist, he frowned at her. "How the hell
did you get in here?"
Eve smiled sweetly. "I have a key, of course. Why wouldn't I? I did
have sex with him, you know."
Lindsey laughed. "That dog won't hunt, Eve. Angel told me all about it. Now, gimme," he said, holding out his hand. She dug in her
pocket, handed it to him.
Eve shrugged. "I can get another, you know. Call it a perk of the
job."
"If you know what's best for you, you'd better just do your job, and
stop trying to play a game, Eve. Didn't you learn anything from
Lilah?" Lindsey said.
Eve smiled that evil little smile of hers. Looked him up and down.
She leaned back a little, supporting her back with her elbows. "You
look damn good, Lindsey. Why don't you join me? We could play while
Angel's gone."
Lindsey looked her over with the same arrogance she had him. She was
pretty, he had to give her that. But even when he'd been trying so
damn hard to be evil, he hadn't been that stupid. He looked into
her eyes, and said, "And you just look desperate, Eve. I'd fuck
every demon in hell before I'd fuck you. What about that don't you
understand?"
Eve laughed, stood up, and moved close to him. She touched the bite
mark Angel had left. "Looks to me as if you have a head start on
that ambition, Lindsey. What happened? Angel decided to put his mark
on you? I bet you came when he did it, too."
Lindsey chuckled. "It's more.....possessive than that, Eve
darlin'."
She jerked her hand away. "He didn't do that." she hissed.
"No, he didn't," Lindsey taunted her. "We did it."
"You bastard!" Eve snarled, then she slapped him. She pulled her hand back to do it again, and was shocked when it was caught in a
firm grip, and she was violently turned around.
"Angel does not like his family fucked with, pet. Best you learn that now. Save yourself a whole lotta grief later," Spike said.
"Let me go, you jackass," Eve demanded.
Spike smiled, let her arm go, then stood to the side.
Rubbing her wrist, Eve shot Lindsey an evil glare. "The Senior
Partners aren't going to be pleased about this, Lindsey. This wasn't
the way it was supposed to happen."
"Oh, let me guess. I was supposed to turn him dark again, and then
seduce him? ," Lindsey laughed. "If that's what the plan was, you
can forget it, sweetheart. The Senior Partners don't have anything
to do with this."
Eve smiled. "You don't think so? Why else would you still be alive,
Lindsey?"
"I'm alive because they have better things to worry about than
little ole me, that's why," Lindsey said. "I'm nothing to them,
found that out years ago......so don't try and pull that bullshit on me, darlin', cause it ain't working."
"I'm going to enjoy the look on your face when you find out
differently," Eve said. "You're still under contract, you know."
Lindsey smirked at her. "What do you think they'll do? Suck me into
a portal, so we can have a chat about how I'm such a bad boy?"
Eve glared at him, angrily muttered, "Asshole.", then turned around
and left with as much panache as she could muster.
"Bloody hell, I wish Angel would just let me eat her and get it over with!" Spike growled.
Lindsey laughed. "I'd be careful what you wish for, man. Her veins
are probably full of venom."
Spike chuckled. "Wouldn't doubt it. So, you're Lindsey, right?
Heard `em talking in the Watcher's office.....thought I'd come check
on you, see if you were okay after last night, since you're family
now, and all. I'm Spike."
"Spike? Oh, yeah- I know who you are," Lindsey said. "Drusilla
turned you in London....hey, wait a second. Why'd you call me
family? Angel didn't turn me."
"Knew that, pet. He told me what he was gonna do, if you came back,"
Spike said. "That makes you family in my book." He stepped into
Lindsey's personal space, leaned forward a little, and inhaled the
younger man's aroma.
Lindsey went perfectly still. He'd had this done to him an unknown
number of times, and he'd lost whatever small fear he'd had long
ago. Besides, Spike couldn't bite him now, not after the claiming.
In fact, if Spike didn't stop touching him, he was fixing to find
out Lindsey didn't play that game any more.
"Mmm, you smell sweet and spicy, like a gingersnap cookie," Spike
softly said. "Good thing Angel did it last night, or I'd be tempted,
cause boy, you smell good enough to eat. Tell me,
Gingersnap......did you like what Angel did to you?"
"What?" Lindsey said, mystified.
Spike's glance slid down to the towel around the young man's waist.
Lindsey turned red. That was answer enough for Spike. He
grinned. "Hmm, you're a naughty boy, aren't you? Damn, Angel knows how to pick them," he said. "Come on, get dressed, let's go annoy him, Gingersnap. I wanna see the look on his fa-"
"Owww!" They both yelled. Lindsey put his hand on his upper arm, glaring at Spike.
Spike pulled away, frowning at the light burn on his palm. He turned
Lindsey's arm, looked at the tattoo, and grinned again. "Oh, you're
just full of surprises, aren't you? Can Peaches touch that?"
Lindsey jerked out of his grasp, and moved away from Spike. "Not
that I'm aware of, but after last night, I'm not sure," he said,
pulling his jeans on.
"I hope he can't! I bet he was pissed off." Spike said, glee in his
voice, and a gleam of mischief in his eyes. "Angel finally found someone he wants forever, and it would just be too funny if he can't touch all of you. C'mon, hurry up, I wanna go fuck with his head a little!"
Lindsey shook his head, and continued dressing, but he couldn't keep
from smiling at Spike, who was acting like a kid with a new toy.
