A/N One of the things that drives me nuts is finding damn little typing mistakes in my previous chapters. I proofread and proofread and yet. Oh well. This chapter isn't quite as long as the last but there are some interesting B/Aus moments. Also, I know I said the sex would be back but as I wrote it didn't really fit this chapter. But it will be back soon.
Part 13

Upon arriving at the villa, Angel escorted Buffy into the house while several servants came out to help Luke carry the packages. A while later, she and Angel were in the walk-in closet putting the clothes away. Throughout their task Buffy tried to keep as much distance between them as possible but he kept crowding her and invading her personal space. Wherever she went he was right there, his large muscular body pressing against her. He purposefully cornered her like a lamb to be slaughtered; their bodies uncomfortably close. For a while she tried to ignore it but he kept getting closer and closer, his wandering hands bolder.
�I told you I can�t do this.� She stated when he moved even closer.
�I�m not asking for more than you agreed to.� When she just looked at him, he added, �Just a kiss.�
�What? Is this payment for the clothes?� She gestured to the bathrobe she was holding.
�It�s not payment for anything. It�s just you holding up your end of the bargain.� When she again said nothing, he took another step toward her. �I�m only going to kiss you.� When she didn�t respond, he took the robe from her and rested it on a nearby shelf, then putting his arms around her, gently pulled her to him. Standing stiffly in his embrace, she didn�t fight but she didn�t look too eager about it either. He knew she would only do the minimum that was required but he had other plans. He wanted to kiss her, really kiss her. And he wanted her to kiss him back. Leaning down, he quickly lifted her to his eye level before she could stop him.
�What are you doing? Put me down!� She protested, her hands pushing firmly against his chest.
�It�s easier to kiss you when I�m not breaking my back.� He replied. The height difference between them was rather comical.
Somewhat indignant she offered, �Well, you can save yourself the trouble and not kiss me at all then.� She knew being left alone was too much to ask.
�Oh believe me, it�s entirely my pleasure.� His penetrating gaze silenced her.
Slowly moving in he lightly brushed his lips over hers, softly nipping at her mouth. When she refused, he carefully pressed her against the wall and moved his hands to her face, gently cupping it.
Now with her full attention he softly spoke, �I am offering you the world. With few exceptions, I would deny you nothing. Endless possibilities are right at your fingertips. Don�t fight it.�
�I can�t do this.� She whispered.
�I�m not asking for everything at once. We�ll take it slow. We�ll start over and take it slow.�
�We can�t start over!� Her voice now shrill, �You can�t make this ok. You can�t take me on a shopping spree and expect me to forget.�
�I don�t expect you to forget.�
�Then what? I�ll get over it? Is that it? I�ll just accept everything you did and still be your whore?�
�I don�t want you for my whore. I want you as my partner.�
�There�s a difference?� She challenged.
�There�s a big difference,� His voice now menacing. �For instance, unlike you, my whore would know better than to use that tone with me. And if she didn�t, she�d never make that mistake again. And again unlike you, my whore wouldn�t have the privilege of refusing me. And I would never offer to make my whore mistress of this house or of anything else I own. Believe me, you are far from being my whore.�
�I don�t care if you want me as your wife. I, I just can�t �� She trailed off, her hands still pushing against him.
�So you�d rather I hold you down and take what I want?� He asked somewhat exasperated, his anger rising.
�Of course not!� She snapped.
�Well you�re in a bit of a problem. But I�ll give you some advice. Right now I�m giving you time to adjust but regardless of how repugnant you find the idea of sleeping with me, know that one way or another I will be buried deep within you. Our little deal wasn�t about whether or not we�d have sex, but when and how. That�s all you have control over; how it happens. You can give a little at a time while you still have some control over the situation and you may even find that you enjoy some of it, or you can waste my benevolence, as well as my patience, until I finally take what I want. But know that if I have to work for it, no part of you will go untouched. Those divine thighs and that tight little virgin derri�re of yours will be mine for the taking. And the sharing. Haven�t you noticed that you�re the only female in a house full of men? There will be no mercy. I�ll take everything with little regard to your pleasure or your pain. And you�ll truly know what it means to be my whore.� Then pointedly holding her gaze, he slowly lowered her to the floor and left the closet.
For several long moments Buffy stood in stunned silence, his words reverberating in her mind. She couldn�t believe the predicament she was in. Why was her life this nightmare? What did she do to deserve this? She knew their compromise was just an illusion, that she didn�t have any real power and she was angry with herself for clinging to that hope. But she couldn�t help it, if she didn�t she�d go mad. And now she was faced with the prospect of being the household concubine. Could this nightmare get any worse?
As the seconds passed, the closet walls seemed to close in around her, she felt increasingly dizzy and trapped. Feeling faint and shaking terribly, she slumped against the wall and slowly slid to the floor, hoping the room would stop spinning. After a few minutes, when her equilibrium finally returned, she tried getting up but found she simply didn�t have the energy. Unlike the night before, she now felt so completely dejected that she couldn�t even muster the energy to stand. She was so tired of his games, of being manipulated. Feeling totally lost and hopeless, she curled up and started to cry.

After some time, she finally found the strength to stand and slowly made her way out the closet. Walking out the door, she was startled to find Angel standing there expectantly. He was waiting for her. Looking at her momentarily, he took in her red eyes and tear-streaked cheeks, then, reaching out, he caressed her. When she didn�t flinch or try to stop him, he tenderly grasped her shoulders and guided her into his embrace. Not wanting to anger him further and unsure of what to do, she buried her face in his chest as he held her. Enveloped in his embrace, she couldn�t help feeling relieved; it was strangely reassuring. She was so confused but she wasn�t sure which confused her more, his behavior or her own. He was her captor and rapist and she could hardly believe, let alone understand, that she took the comfort he offered. But in that moment, all she knew was that she was alone and he was in control. So she let him hold her, hoping to appease his anger. After his threat, she needed to know that he would not share her with anyone. Dealing with him alone was hard enough.

For some time he stood with her, caressing her soothingly. He knew she was terrified that he would punish her as he did Cordelia, he saw how she acted around Luke earlier that day. Picking her up, he moved onto the balcony and sat with her in his lap, there he caressed her hair as they sat in silence.
Then after a few moments, �I don�t like making you cry. I want to be gentle with you. I want you to enjoy our time together.� He wasn�t sure what else to say but he wanted to reassure her. He didn�t want to threaten her like that but after their compromise he had to reassert his control over her. But as he held her, despite his threats he knew he would never give her to anyone else. Fortunately, after his dealings with Cordelia, she had every reason to believe he would.
�And what I want doesn�t matter.� She whispered softly.
Looking into her eyes he answered, �Of course it matters but � you know I won�t let you go. I can�t.� Then after a moment, �I can only hope that you�ll spare us both and accept my offer.� At her silence, he cupped her face and added, �I�ll give you time but you must at least try.�
Locking gazes he slowly moved in and lightly kissed her, again softly coaxing her to respond. Initially she didn�t but then slowly, hesitantly she reciprocated, allowing him access. As they kissed, she closed her eyes, forcibly giving herself over to the sensations despite the impulse to recoil. Being in his arms was so disorienting, his cruel tenderness so disarming, so seductive. Not wanting to push her further, he kept it simple and for several long moments their mouths lingered, barely touching until eventually she pulled away and hid her face in the crook of his neck. Holding her close, he settled back in the chair and watched the sun setting on the horizon.

Gunn sat in the library of the Summers� home discussing the case with Harris. He was so exhausted. This was possibly the longest day of his life. After going through the tapes with Giles, Spike and Willow, he then met with his superiors and endured a seemingly endless interrogation into how Rayne managed to escape with Buffy. Leaving a few dots unconnected, he discussed the bare details of the rescue attempt and the events at the hangar. During his account, he avoided discussing his suspicions, he didn�t know how far up the corruption went but he needed to give them a plausible explanation for relieving the agents of their duties while the case was still active. So without rousing suspicions, he merely stated that since Rayne left the country, fewer people were needed for security and with Interpol now on the case, the team could be trimmed down to its essential members. Somehow the excuse seemed to satisfy them.
Unfortunately, he knew the press wouldn�t be so easy to pacify. As much as he hated to admit it, he knew he�d have to address the situation publicly. Ever since the press corps discovered Dawn�s rescue, they were in a feeding frenzy for any crumb of information regarding her condition, Buffy�s whereabouts and Rayne�s fate. He had planned to hold a press conference earlier that morning but decided to postpone it until after he saw Giles and his superiors. But now he knew he couldn�t put it off much longer. It was only a matter of time before it all came out. He got a headache just thinking about it.
However, before facing the firing squad he decided to brief Harris and find out how things went with Dawn and her parents.
�How was the doctor�s visit?�
�Fine. She had a few bruises and scrapes that the doctor took care of but otherwise she�s fine. She and Joyce are in her bedroom resting right now, they were exhausted when we got back.�
�Where�s Hank?�
�In his office. I think he wanted to be alone.�
�How�s he holding up?�
�I couldn�t say. I think he feels guilty about what�s happened but he can�t really talk about it yet. And he can�t do anything about it so he feels worse.�
�Have they made an appointment with the therapist?�
�I think Dawn goes tomorrow.�
�I mean all of them, the whole family will need some level of help.�
�I don�t think they�ve thought that far ahead, all along they�ve only been focused on the girls.�
�Well I�ll suggest it because when Buffy comes home they�ll need all the help they can get.�
�Any progress with the search?�
�Uh, we�ve tracked Rayne�s plane to where he left American airspace. After that, the information is really sketchy. So far no one�s reported anything.�
�What about the mole?�
�So far I�ve narrowed it down to Agents Meirs and Walker. They were the only two besides you, Giles� staff and I that knew about Cordelia. I sent them to guard her. No one else could have known early enough to warn Rayne.�
�What about Finn?�
�Hmm, I don�t think so. The guy is a Boy Scout. I just don�t see him working for Rayne. Meirs and Walker now, I can see either of them doing so but I can�t prove it yet.�
�Well at least they�re off the case.�
�That�s a relief. And they weren�t the only ones so hopefully they don�t suspect anything. I don�t want them covering their tracks and slipping away.�
�I�m sure we�ll catch whoever it is. But, um, what about security?�
�Well in addition to you and I, tomorrow Spike will be installing several devices to improve the security system here and he will be assisting us.�
�Sounds good. When are you holding the press conference?�
�As soon as I�m done here.� Just then his cell phone rang, �Gunn here.� Then after a few moments, �Yes, how about first thing in the morning, around 9?� Then, �Thank you for calling.� When he hung up Harris looked at him questioningly, �It�s Cordelia, she�s awake.�

That night Buffy lay closely wrapped in Angel�s arms, her head pillowed on his chest. He had fallen asleep some time ago but she remained wide-awake, reflecting on what happened between them. Ever since their encounter in the closet, she anxiously expected him to have sex with her or at least try to. But to her surprise and relief, he didn�t. They shared a few more kisses throughout dinner and the rest of the evening but generally he kept his hands to himself. He never even brought it up. And honestly she had no idea what she would have done if he had. His restraint was a great relief but it also worried her. She had no idea how long it would last and she knew it wouldn�t be long before he demanded more. But at least for now he wasn�t. Instead they kissed and they touched and although his idea of a certain level of intimacy was clearly more than she had in mind, he didn�t go much beyond the boundaries of their agreement. In fact, other than the kissing, their compromise was intact. But there was definitely a time limit and that�s what was keeping her awake. What was she going to do? Lying in his arms, she knew she couldn�t challenge him directly, that would only anger him and work against her. And he certainly would never just let her go; she�d have to escape. But with his men and the servants constantly around, that was no easy task. She needed time to find holes in the security, to find a way out. And as much as it might kill her, she had no choice; she had to play Angel�s game in the meantime. Sighing slightly, she prayed for the strength to live with herself when this was all said and done.
Shifting slightly away from him, she tried to get some sleep.

Waking late the next morning, Buffy rolled over to discover she was alone; Angel was gone. Seeing that he didn�t leave a note, she figured he was somewhere in the room. Listening carefully, she tried to discern if he was in the bathroom or on the balcony. What she heard was two voices coming from the sitting area. Carefully climbing out of the bed, she moved over to the slightly ajar door and listened intently.
Angel and Lindsey were talking.
�So how�s she holding up?�
�I�m not sure. I think she may be coming around but it�s really too early to tell. I think she�s trying to figure me out.�
Chuckling slightly Lindsey responded, �I wish her luck. She�ll be one of the few if she succeeds.� Then after a moment, he asked, �So, is she, um, cooperating?�
�Generally. I�m not � asking for anything right now. This has been a lot for her so I�m giving her time.�
Laughing even harder Lindsey exclaimed, �Oh, this is priceless! I can�t believe it. She has you waiting! Have YOU ever waited for any woman? My how the mighty have fallen. You must really want her.�
�I do.� He answered slightly smiling. Then at Lindsey�s look he added, �Hey, I�m not saying it�s easy, especially with her right there in the bed, tempting me. It would be so easy to just reach out and take her � but that�s not what I want.�
�I admire your restraint but do you really think she�ll ever give herself to you? That she�ll care for you the way you want?�
�No. But a man has to try. Anyway, right now I�m just giving her some space but I also need to keep an eye on her.�
�You expect her to run?�
�Of course I do. I�d be surprised if she didn�t at least try. But that�s not the only reason I need to watch her. Actually, I was wondering if you�d spend some time with her when I work during the day.�
�Sure, I can do that. Are you concerned about anything in particular?�
�Hmm, not really, I just don�t want her to be alone for long periods of time yet.�
�That�s understandable. When are you going back to work?�
�Well, I�m taking some time off to show her around and � help her adjust but in a few days I guess, by next week for sure.�
�Fine, just let me know when and I�ll be here.�
�Great, thanks for helping. Anyway, I�d better go and check on her.�
�Yeah, you should.� Angel then stood and escorted Lindsey to the main door.
As he was leaving Angel asked, �By the way, have you heard anything about the case?�
�Oh, well, Dawn�s with her parents. Your lawyers are stonewalling the feds. That�s really about it. I�m sure they�re looking for us.�
�Yes, I�m sure they are. Anyway, will you be joining us for dinner in the dining hall this evening?�
�I�d be glad to. I�ll see you then.� Lindsey then left the room.

Returning to the bedroom Angel saw that Buffy was no longer in bed. Walking further into the room he heard water running in the bathroom, she was in the shower.
Knowing she had locked him out, he decided to order their breakfast.

In the bathroom, Buffy stood fully dressed. She had listened to Angel�s conversation until he said that he was going to check on her. She then quickly ducked into the bathroom and immediately turned on the shower. Now, as she undressed, her mind was busily mulling over what she just heard. She was a little miffed that Angel was discussing their sex life with his cousin but she wasn�t all that surprised by it. She doubted there was much his men didn�t know. Neither was she surprised that Angel expected her to run, she�d just have to make sure not to get caught again. But what did surprise her was that Angel was going back to work in a few days and Lindsey would be her babysitter. During the tour, Angel pointed out his office as one of the rooms off limits to her so she knew that when he worked he would still be in the house. But his office was on the opposite side of the house from their room, far, far away. At least she would be free of him for a few hours. Granted, she had no idea what Lindsey was like but she assumed he was probably just as ruthless as Angel. She couldn�t afford to underestimate him. But maybe this was just the opportunity she needed.

A while later, Buffy stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a large towel. It was only then that she realized that her new bathrobe was still in the closet. She had intended to put it in the bathroom the previous day but that was before she and Angel had their little encounter and she was so upset afterward that she forgot. And of course, after eavesdropping on Angel and Lindsey she didn�t even think to grab some clothes in her mad dash to the bathroom. Cursing herself, she pulled the towel tightly around her, she dreaded leaving the relative safety of the bathroom with so little on. She didn�t want Angel to think this was some kind of invitation.
Taking a deep breath, she prepared to leave when she spotted Angel�s large crimson robe hanging on the door. Without hesitation she quickly slipped it on over the towel and tied the belt. Looking at herself in the mirror, she laughed at the sight. The arms were far too long and it dragged on the floor; she was practically swimming in it. But soon her amusement was silenced by the intimacy suggested by wearing his robe. Although it gave her the cover she wanted, being in his robe made her feel uncomfortably naked and exposed. Perhaps this wasn�t such a good idea. Rolling her eyes at her predicament, she vowed that the next time she spied on Angel she�d have a better escape plan. As she debated whether wearing it was worse than wearing only the towel, she heard a soft knock on the door. It could only be one person. Pulling the robe tightly around her she cautiously opened the door, her head peeking from behind it.
�I thought you might need this.� He was holding the dark blue terrycloth robe they had bought for her the day before. �I guess you left it in the closet yesterday.�
�Uh, yeah, I did. Thanks.� She answered nervously.
As she reached for it, a small smile crossed his lips when he noticed her push back a familiar crimson sleeve. She was wearing his robe.
Seeing his sly smile, she flushed with embarrassment. How was it that she always managed to humiliate herself in front of him?
Deciding not to rub her nose in it, he went on, �I�ve ordered breakfast. It�ll be here shortly.� He then handed her the robe and quietly left
Sighing with relief, Buffy quickly replaced his robe with hers and hung his back on the door. Then mustering as much dignity as she could, she left the bathroom and quickly went into the closet to get something to wear.

Special Agent Gunn and Giles sat in Cordelia�s hospital room listening to her account. She was surprisingly alert for how she looked. A leg and an arm were in casts and her torso was bandaged around her surgical incision. Her skin was marred with purple, black and blue scars as her injuries began to heal and her face was swollen, slightly impairing her speech. She hardly looked like the beauty in her photograph. She was clearly on pain medication. Upon seeing her, Gunn decided to keep their visit brief, he didn�t want to stress her too much. So far she had already covered when she first saw Angel with Buffy and was now where she was leaving the Bronze.
�So after you left the Bronze, what happened?�
�Adam, one of his men, he grabbed me. I didn�t even see him. He took me to the hangar, to see Angel.�
Seeing her grimace at his name, Gunn gently asked, �Can you tell us what happened next?�
Tears now in her eyes she went on, �He was furious. He knew what I had done and � he had this look in his eyes, I, I�d never seen him like that � he set them on me.�
�Them?� Giles asked.
�Adam and Luke. They �� She stopped, unable to go on.
Realizing what happened Gunn gave her a few moments then asked, �Where was Angel during the attack?�
�He was there, watching. Him and Lindsey � and Buffy.�
�Buffy was in the room when they attacked you?� Giles asked.
�He made her watch. She tried to escape but he � stopped her. I-I don�t remember much after that, after a while � I think I passed out.�
Giving her a few moments, Gunn continued, �I just have a few more questions, can you continue?�
When she nodded, �Angelus left the country and took Buffy with him. Do you have any idea where he might have gone?�
�He took her with him?� She asked alarmed. �I, I thought you only wanted to find him, I had no idea.�
�We were too late to stop him and he took her.� Gunn replied regretfully.
�Oh God! That poor girl.�
�You see the urgency.� When she nodded Giles added, �Please, take your time.�
Thinking a few moments, she replied, �I�ve been to his homes in Rio, Tuscany, London and Athens but he owns property all over the world. He has mentioned a few other places from time to time but I can�t recall where right now. I�m sorry.�
�Don�t be. You�ve helped us immensely already. We�ll contact our associates in those cities to see if they can help. In the meantime, if you can think of anything � anything at all, please contact us. Here�s my card.� Gunn then placed his business card on the stand next to her bed. Then just as he and Giles were leaving he added, �Thank you again and please take care.�

Walking to their cars Gunn said, �I can�t believe that animal made her watch it.�
Thinking briefly Giles responded, �I�m sure he did it to scare her. But what I find interesting is that he didn�t do it himself. Something like this I would have expected him to handle personally but he completely separated himself from Cordelia during the time he had Buffy at the ranch, effectively severing their relationship. And when she betrayed him, he showed her just how little she meant to him by letting his men have her, he had moved on and, well, for lack of a better term, they got the leftovers. Of course another reason he may have had them do it is that he�s in love with Buffy, that it was rape is even worse but quite frankly, he simply may not have wanted her to see him with another woman.�

That afternoon Buffy and Angel sat in the gazebo having lunch. They had spent the morning walking through the gardens, sharing kisses and making small talk. At least Angel was, Buffy was memorizing the layout of his property and looking for escape routes. Now she was sitting across from him having a slice of strawberry cheesecake and trying to keep up her end of the conversation.
�Do you play tennis?�
Pausing mid-bite she looked at him, �A little.�
�We have courts. It might be fun. Not to mention that since you�re going to be eating all these rich foods you�ll need some exercise.�
Furrowing her brow in indignation, she pictured what she would like to do to his head with a tennis racket. She settled for glaring at him.
�I didn�t say you were fat. You�re far from it. I�m just saying you need to stay physically active and we have lots here to help with that. I showed you the gym, you can swim laps in the pool, we can go hiking, and well, there are the tennis courts. We can even go horseback riding.�
�You have horses?� She asked eagerly. Maybe she could use one to escape. It would be faster than being on foot.
�I own a few but Quentin keeps them at his stable for me. I�m hardly ever here so it just made sense to put them where they can be ridden often and well taken care of. But we can ride whenever you like.� Well, that�s what his mouth said. His eyes said, �Don�t even think about it.�
She got the message.
Attempting to change the subject he added, �Of course, there are other activities that can help you stay fit, both of us in fact.� The gleam in his eyes spoke volumes.
The silence that followed was deafening.
Then, �By the way, I will be returning to work soon so I asked Lindsey to keep your company when I�m gone.�
�You don�t think I can manage a few hours on my own?�
�On the contrary but I would hate to leave you unattended for so long.�
�How thoughtful of you.� She replied sarcastically.
Ignoring her sarcasm he responded, �Well, I�m nothing if not an attentive lover.�
Their eyes locked and for several moments the two gazed intently at each other.
Then, leaning across the table, he took a fresh strawberry off her plate and brought it to her mouth, smiling mischievously.
�Ah, none of that.� He playfully admonished when she tried to take it.
Taking a deep breath, she hesitantly took a small bite from it.
Then, never once breaking eye contact, he brought it to his mouth and in what was probably the most sensual thing she�d ever seen, he pointedly swirled his tongue over where she bit before devouring the ripe, succulent fruit.
Buffy�s mouth went dry.
