Angel / Pet / The snippet that inspired Pet

It was the stupidest idea possible to stand there. A thousand reasons why tore through Wesley's head. Sadly, none of them took effect.

Instead, rather than reason, emotion ruled the day. No, baser than that. Need.

It wasn't instinct, that was certain. Instinct would have told him to leave. Vanish, as quickly as possible. Disappear before some tiny thing gave him away. Get out before he was noticed.

Instinct apparently didn't speak loud enough to matter, however.

Instinct would have certainly disapproved of this, had it strength enough to even attempt the argument. But instead not a peep was heard. Not one word from the thing which could possibly save his life.

Which was why Wesley found himself staring at two vampires with only a half-open door to pretend to hide him from view.

The situation was reality-turning. Here were two men - men that he had never thought of as totally men, but men nevertheless - that he knew. That wore human faces most of the time. Spoke politely and rationally - well, perhaps not so much on either trait, but could make themselves understood, if nothing else.

Who seemed normal in other words.

But not now. Oh no, not now with both vampire's game faces showing, and the world of words long left behind for pure, animalistic growls.

They were on Angel's bed. Spike on his knees, hands wrapped around the bedposts as though they had been nailed there - and with the scent of blood as stong in the room as it was, perhaps that had actually happened. Angel was behind him, moving into the younger vampire with a vigor and purpose that left no ambiguity as to what, precisely, Angel was doing.

Now mortal instinct spoke up. Sparked little spasms along Wesley's muscles. Spoke to him of the most primal of facts - these were predators, he was prey.

But it didn't matter. He couldn't leave.

He stood there, staring, utterly enraptured by the sight before him, finding himself unable to tell which of the vampires attracted his eye more and in the end he gave up on guessing. Abandoned anything approaching thought at all and gave in to what was before him.

His hand moved down, undid the front of his trousers with a practiced touch. His cock was hard, already dripping, and the stroke of his fingers made it worse still.

Angel was thrusting harder. Snarls escaped his throat. Fangs made their way along Spike's flesh, then sunk into the younger vampire's throat like a lion's into that of its mate. Wesley clamped his lips down, struggling not to gasp as his lungs demanded, trying desperately not to make any sound which would draw attention to himself and stop this view from happening.

He continued moving, fisting his cock over and over, squeezing it as hard as he could manage and feeling as though it wasn't nearly hard enough. It was too weak, too human.

He wanted what he saw. Yet he couldn't imagine having it.

He moved away from the doorway at last, falling back against the wall behind it when the visual stimulation became too much. His mind was swimming, his body on fire. His nipples were tight and his cock was hard and all he wanted in the world was -

"Don't you dare."

Wesley's eyes flew open at the feel of a cool hand around his dick. Angel's brown eyes stared right back at him.

"Angel - " Wesley managed, trying desperately to think of something to say, something which could possibly explain it all.

The strong pressure of Angel's hand made it clear no such words were needed. "If you wanted," Angel told him, "why didn't you ask?"

Wesley licked lips that were suddenly dry. "I, Angel, I - "

Angel's mouth covered his, then moved away so soon that Wesley's lungs nearly collapsed for the need of him. "Don't talk."

Dazed, Wesley nodded.

Angel's lips formed an approving smile. "Good." He tugged on Wesley's cock, drawing him into the other room as though it were a leash. "Now come here. And don't - " he emphasized this with a tighter squeeze " - come until I tell you."

"New pet?" Spike asked, now lying languidly on the bed.

"New pet," Angel agreed, then put Wesley in between them.
