The instant, powerful attraction to Satan stuns her. When he seduces her into spending four days with him, having nothing but monkey sex and fun, she agrees.

Angel dropkicks that notion into another galaxy, but she won’t commit to a relationship with him. When she leaves, he discovers that his Angel’s nothing but a rabid liar and a frigging talk show host. Furious, he resolves to cut her out of his life.
