Wesley blinked. Angel was naked. Not a stitch on. And he was very aroused. Somehow in the midst of being throttled, Wesley had missed that fact.
He managed to focus his gaze on the hand being offered to help him to his feet. His first reaction was to refuse with muted sarcasm, but a saner portion of his brain screamed at him, "No! You know what you want. This is the perfect opportunity to get it!"
Wesley glanced up at Angel, who was still waiting for him to make a decision. The Watcher reached up and accepted the hand.
Then he yanked.
Hard.
Caught unawares, Angel tumbled forward and landed solidly on top of Wesley. The breath rushed out of Wesley's body while Angel struggled to get off of him.
"Um, Wes?"
"Yes, Angel?"
"It would make it easier for me to get up if you let go of my….. you know."
"Oh dear. Is that yours?"
"Yeah. Yeah, it is. And you seem to have your leg wrapped around my hip."
"Hmmm."
"Wes?"
"Yes, Angel?"
"Is there something you're trying to tell me?"
"Perhaps you should ask if there's something I should have told you long ago."
"Okay. What is that you should have told me?"
"That I'm attracted to you. And….."
"And?"
"And that I've decided to do something about it."
"So basically you were waiting for me to….."
"Take off all your clothes and stand in front of me. Yes."
"What if I had never done that?"
"It was really only a matter of time before I saw you naked, Angel. How often do you take your shirt off or come home after a fight with it half ripped off revealing your rippling muscles and smooth, hairless chest? Once you wore only a towel."
"Well, yeah, but that was because you and Cordy barged into my apartment when I had just come out of the shower."
"True."
"Wes?"
"Yes, Angel?"
"Keep doing…..what…..you're, uhh, doing. Yeah, like that. Ohhhh. Yes! More!"
"Angel?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you suppose you could…..?"
"Oh. Sure."
Wesley's clothes were torn off and flung in all directions in record time.
"Angel?" Wes panted, writhing underneath the vampire.
"Yes, Wesley?"
"I'm sorry, but we'll have to make this fast. Cordelia left a message on my answering machine. Gunn's in trouble and she's going after him to help."
"You're telling me this now? We'll have to work on your timing."
"Well, if you just put your hand right there we can end this properly."
"Like this?"
"Yes, and do this….. Oh, oh OHHH Yesss!"
Angel was swept along in Wesley's rapture.
"Ohhh Wesss!"
"Angel?"
"Yeah, Wes?"
"Are you all right?"
"mmm hmmm."
"May I ask why you were aroused when you came out here?"
"A dream."
"Erotic."
"Very. I was dreaming about Darla."
"Oh."
"I've been dreaming about her a lot lately."
"I see."
"Funny thing is, at the end of every dream just when we're about to…..you know, she turns into you. Actually, I've been dreaming about you for months. Sometimes it's Buffy who turns into you. It was even Spike once."
"Spike?"
"Yeah, we used to…..you know, when we terrorized Europe."
"I can see that I'll need to do a more in-depth study of you. For historical accuracy, of course."
"How in-depth?"
"As deep as possible, Angel."
"I like the sound of that."
