Angel entered The Room and closed the door. He had sent Buffy up earlier to wait for him, and he found her sitting quietly on the edge of the bed. She looked up as he approached, and her nervous expression made him pause. Fuck. He really loved the look she gave him before a session; even though each one was a little different, they all gave him a thrill. Fear, excitement, arousal; he could get off on all of those. Tonight it was anticipation, and her anxious 'what are you going to do to me?' expression went straight to his groin.

 

He went to her and held out his hand. She grasped it tightly, and let him lead her to the ceiling chains. After their recent discussion on what the new boundaries were, she had no idea what to expect from this session. This was also their first meeting since her assault on Angel, and she was concerned that he would perhaps want to 'get even' with her.

 

Buffy had not undressed for him this time, because Angel had asked that she 'Wear something old' for this and future occasions, and roughly translated, that meant 'Something you don't want to wear again.'

 

Efficiently fastening her firmly in the steel manacles, he paused, resting his hands on her waist.

 

"Tonight," he said quietly, the smooth tones of his voice making her shiver, "we're going back to basics."

 

Buffy wanted to ask what he meant by that, but sometimes she got more information than she wanted if she did that, so she stayed silent. Apparently it was the right thing to do, because he smiled approvingly.

 

"Good," he murmured, smoothing his hands gently through her hair. Gathering up her long tresses in one hand, he exerted just enough pressure to pull her head back and expose her throat to him. "I like compliance."

 

Her eyes flashed in defiance and that thrilled him too. He pulled gently on her hair, making her gasp and drawing his attention to the way her mouth opened in such an inviting and pleasing manner.

 

"I'm going to hurt you," he whispered.

 

Buffy's breath caught. She knew what they were here for, and what he had done to her in the past, but having Angel voice his intention made her heart beat faster and her knees tremble.

 

"I'm going to make you scream," he continued, and Buffy found that her eyes instinctively locked on his, and she couldn't find the strength to tear them away again.

 

"I want to watch you squirm," Angel breathed, the liquid silk of his voice holding her prisoner with its intensity. "I want to please you," he purred; "I want to make you come so hard that you can't even remember your own name."

 

Buffy swallowed nervously, and Angel fell silent, just watching her. He pulled her head back a little further and leant in closer to promise,  "I'm going to fuck you."

 

Buffy moaned, frightened of what was to come, but thrilled at the promise of unknown pleasures that lay in store for her.

 

Angel stirred, shifting position to stand behind her, and somehow without releasing his grip on her hair. His free hand reached round her to squeeze her breasts, pleased to find that her nipples were already standing up for him. He massaged them with his finger before sliding his hand sensuously down to fumble under the hem of her shirt.

 

Buffy gasped at the touch of his cool hand on her stomach, and she had no alternative but to stand passively while his fingers explored any part of her that he wanted to. He released her hair, and allowed both hands to roam without restraint under the cover of her clothing. His fingers worked patiently on the buttons of her blouse, caressing each tiny sliver of skin that was released from her garments. Her bra was unceremoniously yanked up, to bunch loosely above her breasts. Her nipples were so sensitive that she whimpered when he touched and rubbed them; and when he pinched and twisted them harshly, she unashamedly arched against him, silently pleading for more.

 

"Not yet," he smirked. "We've got a long way to go before I let you come."

 

His hands slid back down her flat stomach, enjoying the freedom to explore her body as he chose to. He touched her everywhere he could reach, sometimes gentle, sometimes intimate, sometimes intending to hurt. Skilfully unzipping her skirt, he let it drop to the floor and encouraged Buffy to kick it out of the way.

 

"Angel…" she protested hoarsely when he stopped touching her and stepped away.

 

"Not yet," he reminded her, turning away smoothly to go to his toybox in the corner.

 

Buffy squirmed in her chains, excited and frightened. The pain content of their sessions lately had been extreme. Angel had promised her that this one would be better, but she was still afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand what he wanted to do to her. But oddly, she was curious and aroused too.

 

Angel returned to her and laid his toys down on the nearby bed. She couldn't help looking to see what he had chosen to use on her. Surprisingly, not that many things, though of course he could add more later. So far, his toys consisted of: Two whips, a cane, and a spreader bar. There was also a knife with a curved blade and long handle, but that didn't worry her because she knew it wasn't one of those that he used on her.

 

She wondered if this was what he had meant by 'the basics'. Perhaps he wasn't planning on using anything too bad? She winced at that thought; anybody who thought a cane or whips were not 'too bad' - had not been worked on by Angel.

 

Angel picked up the knife and crossed over to her. He paused to appreciate the vision before him. His woman, small but powerful, was now looking very fragile and helpless. Her arms were pulled up and secured in the rough manacles; her shirt hung open, revealing her bare stomach and breasts that were framed by her bunched bra. Her skirt lay abandoned on the floor, and her smooth legs went all the way up to a pair of pretty pale pink panties. He felt a tinge of regret that soon her skin would not look as smooth and delicate as it was now; but, even as he thought it, he couldn't help relishing the fun it would be to watch the different changes her flesh would go through, and see the welts and swelling appear at last.

 

Angel slid the tip of his knife underneath the centre point of her bunched bra, slicing up and through the pink fabric. It sprung open, making her breasts quiver, and he smiled in satisfaction before going behind her and slipping the knife down the collar of her shirt. Buffy tensed, but he did nothing more than saw through the stiff collar of her shirt. He upturned the knife, storing it by the handle in the waistband of her panties, before grasping hold of the fabric of her shirt with both hands and tore the material right down the back.

 

Although she was expecting it, the sudden rush of cold air on her skin made her gasp, and she felt the steel of the blade prick at her stomach. The shirt was being folded back over her shoulders, and she was beginning to feel oddly vulnerable in a way that even being naked - as was their norm - had never made her feel.

 

For a while, Angel played with her exposed skin, kissing, caressing, and licking; before finally ending up in front of her and kneeling down. His fingers caressed her now very wet underwear, before squirming a finger under the leg of her panties to venture inside her. She closed her eyes to maximise the experience, and, mindful of the blade against her skin, rocked her hips gently in time with Angel's thrusting fingers. His hand stopped, and her eyes snapped open when she felt him removing the knife from her waistband.

 

"Easy," he whispered at the sudden tension in her muscles. Deftly cutting away the soft fabric of her panties and peeling it from her body, he dropped the scraps to the floor. Upturning the knife again, he eased her legs open and steadily pushed the thick handle inside her. She bit her lip and tensed further, making entry difficult, but she was so wet that once he had the long handle in place it was easy to thrust the smooth shaft in and out as he chose to.

 

He waited patiently until her hips were moving rhythmically against the handle before withdrawing it and provoking a mewl of protest. He smirked, before rising and going to the bed to pick up his cane.

 

Her eyes were wide when he returned and laid the wood against her chest. "What do you want?" he asked.

 

"I'd rather like to go back to my room, if you don't mind," she said hopefully.

 

The trace of a smile twitched at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't allow it to reach his eyes. She was holding her breath, waiting to see if he would punish her for her cheekiness.

 

"That's the wrong answer," he said reasonably, but she heard the warning in his tone.  "What do you want?"

 

Buffy resisted the urge to cheek him again; he would not allow it a second time. She knew what he wanted her to say, but she didn't want to do it.

 

Angel sighed, tapping the cane over her breasts. "You know that I'm going to use this," he said. "If you ask for it, I will go easier on you."

 

"I want it, " she said instantly.

 

"Not good enough," he replied. "You have to ask for it."

 

Buffy hesitated. Some of Angel's more intense caning sessions ran through her mind and she swallowed. "I want… you to use the cane."

 

Angel's eyebrow quirked, and she quickly added, "Please."

 

"Better." He considered pushing her for a little bit more, but it was too soon. If he tried to push her too far, she would dig her heels in and completely defy him. He would then have no choice but to punish her, and he didn't want to do that this early in the evening.

 

Tapping the cane on her skin as he walked round behind her, and letting his fingers caress the same area, he paused. Buffy straightened a little, nervous, but she wasn't frightened just yet. At this stage, Angel was playing with her. That didn't mean that it wasn't going to hurt, but if he was planning a serious caning session he preferred to have her bending over something; standing made it difficult for him to angle the strokes accurately.

 

Dropping to a crouch, Angel balanced the cane over his knees, and used both hands to knead the flesh of her bottom. He deftly stoked and massaged her tense muscles until she finally relaxed under his skilled and tender touch. 

 

Planting a gentle kiss on her rear, he rose and positioned himself slightly to one side of her, and Buffy waited anxiously for the first strike. It was delivered by a flick of Angel's wrist, the tip of the cane whipping against her right cheek; Buffy tensed, but it was very mild - meant only as surface sting. The tip of the cane connected with her soft skin over and over again, and Buffy let the pain wash over her - recognising it as nothing more than a gentle warm up.

 

Working on both her left and right side, and then dropping to one knee to angle the strokes upward, Buffy's rear went from a soft cream colour to bright scarlet. Angel paused then, observing her. She was squirming and panting in the chains, more from arousal than any real distress, and when he placed a cool hand on the darkened skin, he smiled at the level of heat radiating from it.

 

Placing the cane down on the bed, he found his eyes drawn to the glow of her skin. At this point, his intention had only been to warm her up and make her more receptive to the other experiences still to come. But he had not finished with the cane. Later he intended to bend her over the desk and give her a beating severe enough to break the skin and make her bleed; he wanted to hear her beg him for leniency.  

 

Flexing his arm to ensure it hadn't stiffened up during the caning - unlike other parts of him - he picked up the larger of the two floggers and returned to her. Carefully he ran a quick safety check over her - something he always did at regular intervals during a session. Satisfied that her chains were not too tight, and that she was in no other distress than what he wanted her to experience, he returned to his favourite position behind her. Of everything that he did, he loved to hit her; it didn't really matter to him what he used - all the toys had their merits. But he loved the physical-ness of it. He loved the exertion needed to attain the desired effect; and he loved her instant response to his actions. And it was so versatile. He could arouse her with a gentle flogging or a sound spanking, or he could make her scream in agony as he dragged her to the very edge of her endurance.

 

Tonight, he intended to keep his promises to her, and the pain would be less. But he still intended to push her close to her limits, and he was excited about the prospect of watching the whip caress and tear at her skin. He wanted to force her into screaming his name in the throes of both agony and ecstasy - possibly even at the same time.

 

His fingers threaded lovingly through the leather strands of the flogger. This little baby was going to be her main companion on her journey tonight. Later, he would spread her legs and let his second whip - smaller and marginally less harsh - acquaint itself with her breasts and stomach, before moving down to her thighs and flicking up against the wetness of her most sensitive place. Only then, when he was certain she could stand no more, would he allow her the release of her first orgasm.

Twenty-four hours later, Buffy went to the kitchen to make herself something to eat. She moved gently because she was still sore - though she was now uncertain as to how much of it was from last night, and how much of it was from Angel's tireless pleasuring of her all day.

 

Angel appeared in the doorway as she was pouring her drink, and she was just about to offer him one when she realised he had his coat on.

 

"Slaying?" she asked.

 

"Yeah," he replied. "You feel up to coming with me?"

 

Buffy shook her head. "Not really," she said before adding brightly,  "So, you'll bag a couple of vamps for me?"

 

"I will," he promised, going to her and taking her in his arms. "Are you feeling better now?"

 

"I am," she confirmed. Angel hesitated, unwilling to leave her, and Buffy gave him a little push.

 

"Go," she forced a smile. In truth, she was still in pain, but last night had been an enormous improvement on recent experiences. Angel had taken great care to give her what she had asked for, and she had not felt depressed or upset today as she had often done in the past.

 

"Go," she said again, knowing that Angel often got antsy from being cooped up for too long. "I'll be all right."

 

"If you're sure," he said hugging her tight and whispering endearments in her ear before backing away and venturing off on his slayage hunt.

 

* * * * *

 

The second vampire puffed into a giant dust ball. "For Buffy," Angel said, withdrawing his stake from his kill and pocketing it. The dust settled, and Angel carried on through the alley. No other vampires appeared, and he emerged from the alley and crossed the road to where a semi-derelict building sat on the corner of the block. 

 

The front door opened without a sound, and Angel stood in the hall and listened. There were sounds of movement from upstairs, and the whole place reeked of vampires. Slowly, he ascended the stairs, and found a corridor lined with doorways. The first one had a curtain across it instead of a door, and he was just about to pass by when he heard a noise from within.

 

Silently, he drew the curtain to one side and stepped cautiously inside. The room was empty, but it led over to another room - with a door - and it was from here that he could hear sounds of occupation.

 

The door wasn't quite closed, and he pushed it open. Sitting next to the window, an open book in her lap, an olive-skinned Hispanic woman curled up in a frayed and threadbare armchair. The woman dropped her book and scrambled to her feet when she saw him enter and Angel paused just inside the doorway. For long moments, neither moved nor spoke; then, slowly, the woman neatly unzipped her dress and let it fall with a rustle to the ground.

 

Angel stepped further into the room and closed the door firmly behind him.
