Title:  Shame Bad, Sex Good

Author:  Miss Murchison

Rating:  NC-17

Disclaimer:  All characters are the property of Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, etc.  Only the lame plots and dialogue herein are mine.

Notes:   Eunice kept insisting that the only logical end to Season 5 of Angel was to have Buffy, Spike and Angel wind up as a threesome.  I brushed this off, until one morning when it suddenly seemed to make perfect sense.  There wasn't even any alcohol consumption involved--just a really good mocha.

This is the first of three stories, one from each character's point of view.  Links to Angel and Spike's tales can be found at the bottom of the page.

 


       
When Buffy woke from her troubled dreams, it took her a moment to realize the naked body that was pressed against her back was Spike's.

The confusion was normal, she supposed, as much as anything in her current sleeping arrangements could be said to be normal.

She knew it was Spike because she recognized every muscle in the lean form lying against her, the pressure of the firm hand on her thigh, the planes of the cheek that was prickling her shoulder where his soft flesh melted into a fine line of razor stubble. So she was sure it was Spike behind her even before her eyelids fluttered and she peeked between them to see Angel in front of her.

Angel was awake too. He was staring at the ceiling, his hands clasped behind his head, his profile thrown in stark relief by the dim light of the bedside lamp, his lips twisted in a frown. Brooding, she supposed. He usually was whenever something wasn't stimulating him to action. Since she was awake, she could do something about providing that stimulation. It would stop her from brooding herself. And it would be fun. These days, Buffy was working hard to rediscover the concept of fun.

But before she could move, fingers pinched her rear end gently. Spike was also awake, and he wanted her to be quiet.

Suspicious, but willing to wait and see what evil plan Spike had in mind before deciding to stop him, Buffy lay unmoving, eyes barely slit open, and gazed at Angel's naked, strongly muscled shape. She was sleepy enough to be content to lie still for a few minutes, and it wasn't as if she could find anything to complain about in the view.

In fact, the view improved as Spike rose stealthily and climbed over her to crouch above Angel. Startled, Angel grasped Spike by the shoulders, and turned to look at Buffy. "What are you doing, you idiot?"

"Just saying hello," purred Spike, settling his body astride Angel's and making the other man gasp as he ground their hips together. "Why are you looking at the Slayer? She's asleep. I'm the one paying you attention. Least you can do is return the favor."

There was a pause. Buffy expected Angel to shove Spike away, but instead he pulled the other man towards him and began kissing him passionately. Two ivory-skinned bodies rocked together, strongly muscled arms clasping each other so hard the veins stood out.

Buffy pressed her lips together tightly and fought to stay still.

"We should turn off the light," she heard Angel whisper after a couple of minutes of panting and groping.

"Why bother?" asked Spike, bending his head to take one of Angel's nipples between his teeth, distracting him.

Buffy knew why Spike wanted the light on. He was fully aware she was awake, and wanted her to see what happened next. He knew how exciting she would find it, and, as always, he was ready to cater to her desires, even the ones that she - and Angel - found shameful. Especially those.

Angel, on the other hand, had to be coaxed and goaded into their nightly revels, and once their lovemaking was over he never mentioned what the three of them had done together. And he pretended he had agreed to this arrangement only because he knew she would never again give Spike up and because he couldn't force himself to concede her entirely to his rival. This in spite of the fact that Buffy had several times returned to the apartment to find the sheets on the bed disarranged, Spike smirking, and Angel looking both mortified and satisfied.

Buffy had spent too long denying the wildness in her own nature not to sympathize with Angel.  He might be willing to admit what he had been, but he hadn't yet managed to fully acknowledge what Buffy had become.

Spike had, so far, contented himself with needling references to his and Angel's erotic past and present, but hadn't really forced the subject out into the open. Buffy didn't know if he was finally learning more self-control, or if staying in her good graces was so important to him that this was one time he was capable of refraining from blunt speaking.

So, the threesome's lovemaking earlier that night had been all about Buffy, the two men concentrating entirely on her pleasure. That had been - extremely pleasant, of course. But what she was watching now was making her blood pound as wildly as if she were fighting a demon, and she felt her gut seize with overwhelming desire for the two of them. She forced herself to lie quietly, like a hunter stalking prey, even as every nerve in her body screamed in anticipation.

Spike's head bent over the other man's cock. Angel whimpered, "No-"

"You want it," said Spike, lifting his head long enough to retort. "You always wanted it. Liked doing it to me, too. Never used to pretend, back then."

"Wasn't me-" gasped Angel.

Spike had no patience with this. "Tastes like you. Feels like you." His mouth descended on Angel again.

Buffy sympathized with Angel's need for denial, even as she realized he was in denial. He liked to think of himself and Angelus as separate entities in order to distance himself from the worst of his crimes. It was a mental refuge Spike never allowed himself, and he never missed an opportunity to refuse Angel that source of comfort. But it was hard for her to be too angry with Spike, especially as he seemed eager to offer other sources of comfort. And she knew just how good he could be at comforting.

Now, Spike had positioned his body to give Buffy a good show. He had taken Angel deep into his mouth, and was sucking with apparent enthusiasm, one hand cupping the other man's ass to pull him close, as if to keep him from escaping, although any pretense of reluctance on Angel's part had disappeared. Buffy knew what that firm cock felt and tasted like against her lips and tongue, and what she couldn't see, she could vividly imagine. She wondered if Spike was as good at this as he was at going down on her. Almost certainly, judging by the way Angel's mouth moved in silent appreciation, his face contorting with passion and an effort at self-control. Buffy bit her own lip to keep from crying out, but she couldn't help reaching down and touching herself, rubbing her clit frantically as she watched those two beautiful bodies thrashing together on the bed beside her.

Angel's eye caught her movement and his head turned. His gaze met her now wide-open eyes. Buffy realized he'd forgotten her presence. Now, she knew he was trying to find within himself the shock and embarrassment he believed he should be feeling, but it was impossible. He was coming violently under Spike's ministrations, his whole body shaking as his hands gripped Spike's head, fingers writhing in platinum curls, a desperate, involuntary shout emerging from his lips.

Spike sat up, wiping his mouth and gasping with laughter as he watched Angel pant and shudder. Angel grimaced and closed his eyes as if to deny what had just happened, unwilling to face Buffy's voyeuristic gaze.

Spike turned to Buffy, and she licked her lips in anticipation, her eyes drawn now to his erect cock. He bent his head again, towards her this time. She felt the touch of his tongue and hand against her, and spread her legs wide. But although his skillful fingers continued to massage her clit, after a moment his mouth moved upwards, lips skimming along her belly, careful teeth nipping at breasts that were already delightfully sore from Angel's attentions to them earlier in the evening. Then his mouth was pressed against hers, and she was tasting Angel and herself on his tongue, as his cock penetrated her deeply and surely on his first thrust.

She moaned, bringing her legs up and wrapping them tightly around his waist, her arms trying to pull his sleek, smooth flesh even closer to hers. But as if
in desperate contradiction to her ecstatic reaction, she heard Angel say bitterly, "Not much in the way of foreplay in your technique, Spike. I suppose you're right-you're not one for the pre-show, at least with the girls."

Spike raised his head and sniggered lasciviously, his eyes wildly alight. "We were the pre-show, sweet cheeks. You should feel how hot and wet we made her. No, maybe not. Glad I saved this part for myself." He thrust so hard Buffy cried out. "A clever boy, I am."

Angel shook his head, but Spike went on. "Face it, Angel. She likes watching boys play with each other, our Slayer. Don't you, love?"

"Yes," gasped Buffy. "Damn you, Spike." She turned her head, reaching out an arm to her other lover, her hand fumbling through his dark hair to pull his head towards her. "But it's all right, Angel." She laughed, her body arching toward Spike's. "Shame bad. Sex good. Pretty boys kissing-even better." She shifted her grasp on Angel so that he found himself meeting Spike's lips instead of hers. She saw his instinctive, enthusiastic reaction, and as Spike moved within her, the men kissed violently, their mouths open, Angel propping himself on one elbow to lean into the awkward embrace.

Buffy came, her shuddering reaction setting off Spike's orgasm. The three of them collapsed on the mattress, Spike sliding down her body so that his head rested on her shoulder. When she was done panting breath back into her lungs, Buffy turned her head to look at Angel, but his face was buried in the pillow beside her. She reached out and gently stroked his hair, coaxing her fingers under his chin until he turned to her and she was able to press her mouth to his. Slowly, one of his hands came up to grasp hers, and their fingers interlocked.

It was a long, romantic, gentle kiss, like many Buffy and Angel had shared years ago, when she was a virginal teen, before Spike and Angelus reentered his life. But his grip on her hand now was too tight, as if he were clutching a lifeline, and she knew he was trying desperately to recapture their first months together, wanting to deny the wild impulses they felt as vampire and Slayer, wanting to be a normal man, wanting to see her as the innocent she had once been. She knew what he wanted because she felt the lure of that fantasy too. But if they were to have any future together, he would have to consign that naive young Buffy to memory and accept the woman who lay next to him now.

And he would have to accept someone else. She turned her head slightly and saw Spike watching from under hooded eyelids. Buffy felt the hard length of his body against hers, and remembered the long, horrible months when she thought he had died forever in the destruction of the hellmouth. That loss had made her realize just how much she had taken him for granted. She knew there was no way to ensure that he wouldn't be taken from her in some future battle, but she was not about to lose him again because of something as ridiculous as a desire for conventionality and normality. She wasn't about to lose either of her lovers for that.

She was nestled now between the two men, and was wondering what to do or say next--there was no time to write a letter to Miss Manners about this situation--when Spike's fingers slid along her arm, reaching up to cover both her hand and Angel's, which were still tightly clasped against her breast. Angel flinched, then relaxed his grip, opening the palm to welcome Spike's touch.

Buffy held her breath for a few moments, but neither man said anything. They lay there quietly until she realized they had both fallen asleep, apparently as content with her, with each other, and with the situation as they were capable of being.

She snuggled down into the mattress, her slight form shielded from loneliness and despair by the two men she loved. For the rest of that night at least, her dreams were pleasant ones.
