Hmm, I always thought that VampWillow's offer to Will was about sex
first, turning later.  And so "can't make youoh, wait, I can" was
either a prelude to rape or murder, not a forced turning. YMMV,
though.

Yet, every vampire doesn't take a possible refusal into consideration. Whenever they're discussing plans to turn someone, they just decide they're going to do it. And, we have a very explicit case from Angel's second season of turning being forced: Darla's second time around ("Ballad For Dead Friends" really did end up being her song), in The Trail/Reunion. The last scene of The Trial...
Angel and Darla are sitting in her dingy motel room, Darla on the 
bed, Angel on a chair by the door. 
Angel: "Maybe it would be different. - We don't know. - Maybe, uh... 
because, you know, I have a soul - if-if I did bite you..." 
Darla: "No." 
Angel: "We don't know what it would do to you." 
Darla: "Angel, I've seen it now - everything you're going through, 
everything you've gone through. - I felt it. I felt how you care. 
The way no one's ever cared before - not for me. (Gives him a tiny 
smile) - That's all I need from you." 
Angel: "That's not enough." 
Darla: "It is." 
Angel: "How could the powers allow you to be brought back and dangle 
a second chance and take it away like this?" 
Darla: "Maybe this is my second chance." 
Angel: "To die?" 
Darla: "Yes. To die - the way I was supposed to die in the first 
place." 
They look at each other for a moment before Darla turns away drawing 
a shaky breath. Angel gets up and, still limping slightly, goes to 
sit next to her. 
Angel: "I'm not gonna leave you (Darla looks at him trying not to 
cry) every moment you have left - I'm gonna be by your side. - 
You're never gonna be alone again." 
He drapes his, still burned looking, right hand around her shoulder 
and pulls her close as she begins to cry. 

Suddenly the door bursts open, and a dark clad guy presses a 
sparking tazer against Angel's side, dropping him to the floor, 
while two other ones grab a hold of Darla. The first guy keeps 
tazering Angel, while a fourth tapes his hands behind his back. 
Lindsey walks in, grabs a hold of Angel's hair and pulls his head 
up. 
Lindsey: "How did you think this would end?" 
Drusilla wearing a low cut, red dress, glides into the room and over 
to where the two guys are holding Darla. Darla struggles but can't 
get free. Angel watches helplessly as Dru morphs into vamp face, 
brushes the hair away from Darla's neck and bites her. As Lindsey 
watches, Darla slides down onto the bed and Dru sits down next to 
her. Looking at Angel, Dru scratches a bloody line across her breast 
then picks Darla up and presses her mouth over it, holding her like 
a suckling babe,as Angel watches, unable to do anything. 

In case there are any lingering doubts regarding choice, Angel 
settles them in the first scene of Reunion...
Gunn walks into the Hyperion's lobby supporting Angel.  Through the 
doors to the garden court we can see that it is bright day outside. 
Gunn:  "We're almost there.  We're almost there.  Yo!  Anybody 
home?" 
Cordy hurrying down the steps:  "Oh my God!  Angel!" 
Wesley:  "What happened?" 
Gunn:  "I don't know.  He's been kind of in and out.  I only got 
half the story.  The half that didn't make sense." 
Wesley:  "Angel?" 
He walks Angel over to the sofa, with Wesley helping on Angel's 
other side. 
Angel:  "It's no, it's no time. No, no time." 
Wesley:  "Okay.  Okay.  Let's sit him down here." 
They drop Angel onto the sofa. 
Cordy:  "Where was he?" 
Gunn:  "Coming from the motel." 
Cordy:  "*Darla's* motel?" 
Angel:  "Should have heard them." 
Gunn:  "I managed to get him to the truck without him bursting into 
flames or anything." 
Wesley:  "He's hurt." 
Gunn:  "Place was a wreck.  Something went down there, something not 
good." 
Wesley:  "Angel?" 
Angel:  "I was just so - so tired." 
Cordy:  "Where is Darla?" 
Gunn:  "I don't know.  She wasn't there." 
Cordy:  "I knew it.  She did this to him.  I knew she couldn't be 
trusted!" 
Angel:  "She's dead." 
Cordy:  "What?!" 
Angel:  "I should have stopped them.  They made her drink." 
Wesley:  "Angel?" 
Angel:  "She didn't want to.  You think - that you can resist, but 
then it's-it's-it's too late." 
Wesley:  "Someone made Darla drink?" 
Angel: "It was her." 
Cordy:  "Okay, way too many pronouns here.  Who's 'her'?" 
Angel pushes himself up off the couch:  "Drusilla."
