The attraction had always been there; at least it had been on my part. On Angel’s part? Probably not so much. I think he found me irritating. And who didn’t? Let’s just be honest here. I annoyed just about everybody at some point. I just couldn’t help myself. I’d like to blame jealousy, or defensive behaviour caused by some deep-seated childhood trauma, but I can’t. The only trauma I suffered as a child was when my dad sat on my favourite Transformer. It took him a week to buy me a new one. That was one tough week.
Like I said, I always thought Angel was hot. But I felt like kicking his ass into the Pacific a few times, too. As much as I was attracted to him, I totally acknowledged that he was a useless lump at times.
So, anyway, a few months ago I found myself returning from Africa in desperate need of a break. Finding Slayers was easy enough, but jeez; teenage hormones, tantrums and night-time girlie talks were really exhausting.
I ended up in LA. No rest for the wicked. Apparently. There was a Slayer who’d gone ga ga and Giles needed someone to go represent the Council at Wolfram and Hart and help bring her back.
How could I have turned that down? Not only would I get the chance to wind up Angel, but I could stare at his ass all day, too. Everyone’s a winner. Well, maybe just me. But seriously, I was kind of curious about what he was like now. It had been a long time since I’d seen him and I found myself in need of a sneak peek.
Wow, he’d really bulked up some. I loved it. He made me instantly hard. Sitting down at the conference table was all good; never been so glad to be on my ass. I observed that he stayed sitting down, too.
I barely noticed Spike. It was only once I’d gotten back to my hotel room and jerked off in the shower that I was able to climb down from my Angel high and realise that the bleached annoyance was back from the Beyond. Some guys just never stay dead.
Then, after the Slayer was caught and Spike got armless instead of legless, I made a decision. Giles didn’t really need me to recruit Slayers; they had plenty of other guys to do that. But the Council did need a spy. Wolfram and Hart was a worry, especially with Angel in charge. They didn’t trust him.
But I did. I always had, no matter what I might have said.
So I made the call. I talked to Angel and I was ninety nine percent honest with him. I told him that the Council wanted me to stay and work with him and I just wanted a change of scenery. I left out the bit about my attraction to him.
The total shocker was how quickly he agreed.
Maybe he dug the eye patch.
