He slipped out of the SUV and flashed into the surrounding darkness. Half a mile down the road, two vampires flashed in his path, a male and a female. The male’s skin was the color of heavily creamed coffee with a hint of bronze, his face handsome, and his eyes blue. The female’s skin was darker, reminiscent of warm, rich cocoa, her eyes blue, and her face the feminine beautiful equivalent of the males.
He smiled and extended his arms. They rushed at him and the three of them embraced. “Tatiana! Andrei!”
Both full-bloods kissed his cheek and moved back to look him up and down. “Sei! You look well,” Tatiana said.
“Are you well?” Andrei asked. “And what of Vlad? Where is he?”
“We heard Santiago had sent his hunters after Vlad,” Tatiana said, her eyes sparkling with anger. “We have come to make him pay.”
“Vlad is fine. The hunters attacked me instead. I have come to make Santiago see the error or his ways.”
“Who are the two baby vamps with you?” Andrei asked.
He hesitated, then told them. He watched them exchange glances.
“So she made a life for herself after us,” Andrei said, just a hint of bitterness in his voice.
“Yes. She has a new family.”
“And to hell with us?” Tatiana asked.
Aleksei felt an instinctive urge to defend her. “For whatever reason, they believe her when she says she thought we were dead.”
“And do you believe her too?” Andrei asked.
“No,” he said, but he was aware that his voice lacked the conviction it would once have held. “But they are our brothers and they have come to stand with me. Just as you have. Come meet them, but we don’t have time for recriminations. She’s only ever been good to them. They believe and love her.”
“Rather naive, aren’t they?” Andrei demanded.
“Do you want me to tell them who you are?”
“We came to stand with you, not meet the fruits of her treachery.” Andrei glanced at his sister. “Tat?”
“No,” Tatiana spoke more slowly. “But we will endeavor to make sure they come to no harm.”
He shook his head. “They are very young pups, but do not make the mistake of thinking they need babysitting. Serge took down a full-blood before he was one himself and Mikhel has dispatched several while avenging a wrong done to Katie.”
“Katie.” Tatiana spoke with a wistfulness in her voice. “What is she like?”
“Very pretty, very loyal, and a new full-blood...as are they all. You would like her, Tatiana.”
Aleksei knew she had always longed for a little sister. Now she had one. Whether she would make herself known to Katie and the others remained to be seen. She shrugged. “Maybe.”
“And Vlad? Does he know you’ve found her?” Andrei asked.
“No. When he finds out...there will be hell to pay. But we cannot allow him to kill her. They love and need her.”
“They’re all adults and no one will be able to stop him from killing her when he finds out,” Andrei said. “And I for one would have no interest in going up against my brother on their behalf.”
“They’re your brothers too,” Aleksei pointed out.
“Maybe so, but they are brothers I do not know. I know and love Vlad. They mean nothing to me. I won’t side with them against him.”
Aleksei sighed. “They mean a lot to me, Drei.”
“But nothing to me.”
“Drei and I will reserve judgment,” Tatiana said.
Andrei nodded. “Let’s go take care of business.”
They flashed back to his SUV and he made introductions. “Mikhel and Serge Dumont, meet Ana and Drei Forester. Like you, they have come to stand with me.”
As Andrei and Mikhel shook hands, he noted with amusement that Tatiana couldn’t take her gaze off Serge. She had always wanted a little brother too and there was a handsome, fierce one in front of her. As Serge thrust out his hand, Tatiana grabbed it and pulled him into her arms.
“Serge Dumont! What an enchanting name. It’s so nice to meet you, Serge Dumont.” She kissed both his cheeks. She ran her fingers through his hair and kissed his cheeks again. “You are so incredibly handsome. The women must love you.”
“I...I’m taken,” he said quickly, throwing a you-wanna-help-me-out-here look in Aleksei’s direction. “Her name is Derri and she’s—”
“I don’t doubt that a handsome stud like you is already taken.” She kissed him again before releasing him.
Aleksei hid a smile at his sigh of relief and watched her turn to smile at Mikhel, who immediately stiffened. “And you, little Mikhel. You are just as handsome. And those liquid brown eyes of yours are to die for. You are taken as well?”
“Yes! Yes, I am.” He held up his left hand, revealing a wedding band. “Very taken.”
“No matter.” She extended a hand to him. “Come.”
Little Mikhel, who was several inches taller than her, shrugged and allowed himself to be embraced. “I’m married...happily married.”
“To a very lucky woman.” Tatiana kissed his cheeks. “I’ve rarely seen two such handsome vampires. Show me some love.”
Aleksei and Andrei suppressed smiles as Serge and Mikhel exchanged puzzled looks over Tatiana’s shoulder, as she kissed Mikhel again, stroking her fingers through his hair. “What a handsome devil you are.”
“Really. I’m married,” he said and pulled away from her.
She patted his cheek. “Yes. And very happily too. You told me.” Her smile vanished as she turned her blue gaze on Aleksei. “Now. To business.”
Aleksei looked at the four vampires whose lives he valued above his own. He was not going to allow any of them to die on his or Vlad’s behalf. He thought of Dani. Of course he had no intention of dying either. “I will go in alone.”
“No, Sei,” Andrei said. “The place will be filthy with hunters.”
“Yes, but Santiago is fair if nothing else. None of you have done anything to deserve being dispatched. He will not allow his hunters to attack any of you.”
“If he does, they will all die,” Tatiana said coldly.

“You called me. Why?”
Adam sat up in bed. About to switch on his bedroom light, he paused. The open blinds provided enough light for him to be able to make out the outline of the figure standing to one side of his windows. As usual, he had come to him in the dark of night. He sighed. Apparently some things were never going to change.
He looked into the glowing eyes and felt his heartbeat increase. It seemed like an eternity since he had last seen him. He had planned to tell him to fuck off and maybe slug him a time or two when and if they met again. But now, he just wanted to jump out of bed and rush into his arms.
Nevertheless, the coolness he sensed kept him in bed. “Why didn’t you tell me who you were the night we met?” he asked. “If you had, I wouldn’t have mistaken you for Aleksei at the family fuck fest and—”
“What family fuck fest?”
“The Dumont family fuck fest.”
He flashed across the room and stood over the bed. “The Dumont family fuck fest?”
“Yes. Surely you know about it. I mean they are your relatives.”
“Do you know Palea...Dumont?”
“Your mother? Sure I know her.”
To his surprise, Vlad sank onto the side of the bed with his head bowed in dejection. “Then it is true. He lied to me.”
Adam frowned. “What’s true? Who lied to you?”
“Aleksei!”
“You mean you...you didn’t know about them?”
“No.”
The one word, spoken in a low, pained voice, roused Adam’s protective instinct. He didn’t understand what was going on, but he could feel Vlad’s pain and confusion. He moved behind Vlad and put his arms around him, pressing his cheek against his. “What’s wrong? Tell me.”
“I...I can’t. I have to talk to Sei. He’ll explain everything.”
Vlad trembled in his embrace and he tightened his arms. “Talk to him in the morning. But now...tonight...come to bed.”
Holding Vlad in his arms, he lowered his body to the bed, taking Vlad with him.
Vlad immediately turned in his arms and buried his face against his neck. A lump formed in Adam’s throat and he knew no matter what Vlad had done, he was going to forgive him. He had to. He loved this dark, dangerous vampire so much he ached with the need for him.
He kissed Vlad’s silky dreads and stroked a hand down his back. “Take your clothes off and come back to bed. I’ll hold you and you can tell me what’s wrong.”
Within seconds, Vlad had stripped and was back in the bed, cuddling next to him. He felt Vlad’s cock, thick and hard against his thigh and his own cock jumped to attention. Vlad needed comfort and reassurance, but he had needs, too. He eased Vlad onto his back and slid his body over Vlad’s. Cupping Vlad’s face in his hands, he pressed his lips tentatively against his.
The warm lips under his parted and he pressed his hardening cock against Vlad’s and eagerly devoured his mouth in a series of deep, open mouth kisses. Vlad’s arms went around him and he ground his hips against his.
Vlad’s big hands stroking down his back to his ass, heightened his passions. Within moments, their cocks were rock hard and straining against each other. Vlad’s hands parted his cheeks. The tip of a finger probed his hole and he shuddered in anticipation.
He took a deep breath as Vlad rolled him onto his stomach. He lay with his eyes closed. Vlad put a pillow under his hips and parted his legs. Warm, biting kisses rained down onto his buns.
Oh, God, but that felt good. “Oh, yes!” he moaned.
His cheeks were parted.
He tensed, his cock feeling ready to explore.
Vlad licked at his hole, softly and eagerly kissed it, and then began a gentle and prolong sucking of it.
He shuddered and nearly came. It had been an age since a lover had given his ass this kind of loving.
“Oh, God, Vlad! Oh, God, that feels so good.”
His cheeks were parted further and the tip of Vlad’s tongue pierced his ass and he exploded, his cock spewing cum all over the pillow under his hips.
Vlad continued to kiss, lick, and suck at his hole as he trembled to his climax. When he finally quieted down, Vlad removed the pillow from under his hips, and turned him on his side. Rising quickly, Vlad lubed up his rear and his cock, then moved his body behind his. His left leg was lifted and Vlad’s big dick began the slow slide into his rear.
The first few lovely inches of cock sliding past his sphincter and up into his ass felt so sweet, he had to bite down on his bottom lip to keep from moaning with pleasure. How had he ever thought he could give this or this vampire up? He shuddered and pushed his butt back at the thick shaft slowly tunneling its way up him.
As with their first time together, he marveled at how very gently Vlad took possession of his ass. There was no ramming or jamming his dick up him in a way that would bring pain. Just this satisfying, leisurely progression that threatened to bring tears of joy to his eyes. When Vlad was fully seated in his rear, he leaned forward and pressed a series of soft kisses against his neck, holding his cock motionless.
Adam knew this was Vlad’s way of asking for forgiveness for what had happened the last time they’d been together. But that seemed like a lifetime ago. And he had already decided to forgive him.
“It’s all right, Vlad,” he whispered. “I know you didn’t mean to hurt me. It’s all right.”
Vlad shuddered against him and reached a hand around to cup his cock and balls, sending a delicious surge through him. “I won’t ever hit you again. I promise.”
The ragged tone of his voice pierced Adam like a knife. Joined with Vlad as he was, he could feel endless waves of pain, darkness, and despair in him. Was this what Vlad had to live with? “I know you won’t,” he assured him.
“I’m sorry!”
“Oh, Vlad!” He gently tightened his ass muscles around Vlad’s motionless cock. “I know you are.”
“I never meant to hurt you...you are the last person I...didn’t mean it.”
Vlad’s despair distressed him. “I know that. I do. I can feel your remorse.”
Vlad’s free hand touched the cheek he’d hit. “You are so soft and so handsome. I don’t deserve to be here with you.”
“No? Well you are here and damn you, here you are going to stay!” he said. He reached back and grabbed as much of Vlad’s tight buns as he could. “Now make love to me, damn you!”
Vlad lifted the hand that had held his creamed cock and balls to his mouth and began licking the cum from his fingers as if he were slurping a milkshake. Adam found the thought of this handsome vampire enjoying his cum so exciting, his cock began to harden again.
“Fuck me!” he ordered.
Vlad’s hand went back to his cock and balls. “You’re hard again. You like having your ass filled with vampire cock, don’t you?”
He had regained his confidence. Adam smiled. This was the Vlad he preferred. Handsome, sexy, horny, and arrogant as hell. “Hey, don’t delude yourself into thinking your cock is special. It isn’t. If you’d had one cock, you’ve had them all,” he shot back.
“Liar! You love this cock!” Vlad said confidently, wrapped his free arm around his chest, and began a slow sensuous fucking of his ass that quickly impaired Adam’s ability to think.
“Oh, God, you’re right! I love your cock!” He moaned and bit back the next words. I love you!
“And I love your ass,” Vlad groaned, gently thrusting his big thick cock in and out of Adam. “I’ve never had such a tender, sweet, tight ass. It massages and cradles my cock as if they were made for each other. I’ll never get enough of your delectable ass. It’s so good.”
The surprising confession brought a lump of emotion to Adam’s throat. The feelings raging through him engulfed and inflamed him. He felt buffeted and surrounded by lust, unbridled passion, need, and love. God, he loved him so much.
Eager to show Vlad how he felt without actually saying the words he wasn’t sure Vlad was ready to hear, he took a deep breath, and arched his neck.
Vlad froze behind him with his cock half out of him. “Adam. Are you sure?”
It amazed him that he had refused to let Vlad take this final step the first night they had made love. Now, it seemed so right and natural. “Yes! Yes, Vlad. I want to feed your cock and your appetite for blood. You have my ass, now take my blood. Fuck me and suck me. Take my ass. Take my blood. I’m yours to do with as you want, Vlad! Take me!”
To his surprise, Vlad didn’t immediately bite into his exposed neck. Instead he eased the rest of his cock back in him and took several moments to just hold him close with his closed lips pressing against his neck, as if to reassure him.
But it was a reassurance he didn’t need. He knew what he wanted—to belong completely to Vlad. He knew there would be some danger and pain attached to that, but he didn’t care. He wanted Vlad and was prepared to take him just as he was.
“Make me yours,” he urged.
“You are mine!’ Vlad growled.
“Prove it! You have your big hot dick up my ass! Sink those sharp incisors of yours into my neck! Take me, Vlad! Take me!”
In the midst of the flurry of kisses Vlad rained against Adam’s neck, he felt the prick of his incisors. A feeling of ecstasy he had never known or expected flashed through him. Lost in the most incredible sensations of his life, his cock exploded and he began coming again.
Until that moment, Vlad had been gentle. Now he seemed to lose control. He clutched Adam tight and began stabbing his cock into him with short, powerful strokes that sent waves of pleasure-pain all through Adam.
His entire body became a giant ass being relentlessly battered by Vlad’s thick, hard, lust-driven cock. It slammed in and out of his ass mercilessly, filling every inch of his insides with greedy, demanding vampire cock.
With each shove in and out, the hot dick brushed against his prostate, turning Adam’s body to pure liquid pleasure. Just when he thought the pain was too much and he couldn’t stand having his ass slammed again, Vlad stimulated his prostate and unbearable pleasure radiated out from his ass and engulfed his entire consciousness.
As Vlad vigorously fucked him and fed on him, he reached around and cupped Adam’s cock and balls in one big, caressing hand. “Oh, my God! Vlad! Oh, Vlad!” Adam moaned and blew his load with an intensity that obliterated all thought. With his senses on overload, he blacked out.
When he regained consciousness, Vlad was still behind him, holding him. Although Vlad was motionless, his cock was still rock hard and filling his ass. His incisors were still imbedded in his neck, although Adam knew Vlad no longer fed on him.
Vlad stroked a hand over his chest. I hurt you again. I’m sorry.
He sighed and pressed back against Vlad, loving the fact that he was still inside him. “Don’t worry about it, Vlad. Believe me, the pleasure far outweighed the pain. I think we’re going to have to deal with the fact that there’s always going to be some pain when we have a really good fuck. Your cock is entirely too big and too hard for there not to be. And I’m not averse to a little pain if it brings you pleasure. When you start hurting me, I know you’re really enjoying my ass and I can’t tell you what a turn-on that is for me.”
I don’t like hurting you. I don’t ever want to hurt you again.
“It’s a different kind of pain—one I can live with and actually enjoy. So don’t worry about it. What just happened between us was the most incredible experience of my life.”
Vlad’s arms tightened around him. It was that way for me, too.
Adam smiled. At this rate, it would be safe for him to confess his love soon...he hoped. “Well, what do you expect when you’ve fucked the best ass on the planet?” he teased. “Is this good ass or what?”
I love it.
But had he come? He was still very hard. And as much as he loved Vlad’s cock, his ass couldn’t take another immediate pounding. Not that he intended to leave Vlad unsatisfied. “Did you enjoy feeding on me?”
Vlad withdrew his incisors and pressed a tender kiss against his neck. “I’ve had more intoxicating blood.”
“Liar!” he accused without heat.
Vlad laughed and kissed his neck again.
“Enough with the neck already,” he said. “Kiss me...kiss my lips.”
Vlad stiffened behind him. “I’m not—”
“Hey, vampire!” he interrupted. “Don’t go there. If you tell me one more time you are not gay, I am going to punch you so hard your cock will go flat! I don’t want to hear any of your damned excuses. Kiss me, you stubborn bastard!”
He felt Vlad ejaculating into his ass. Moments later, he began the process of easing his cock out. When the head cleared his bruised rear, Vlad bounded off the bed.
Adam turned to find him reaching for his clothes.
“Oh, no you don’t!” Ignoring the discomfort from his aching ass, he sprang out of bed and snatched the pair of pants Vlad held in his hands and tossed them across the room. He hit an angry fist against Vlad’s shoulder. “If you think I’m going to just let you walk out on me without giving me what I want, you’d better think again, Vlad!”
“I don’t see how you can stop me, Adam!”
“What? Who the fuck do you think you are?”
“I know who I am!” Vlad snapped, his eyes glowing.
“I know who you are too! You are my man, Vlad!” He clasped a hand around the back of Vlad’s neck and stared up into his angry face. “Mine! I don’t give a shit what your sexual orientation is as long as that’s understood. You are my man! And I have taken all the shit from you I intend to. I said I want a kiss. Now give it to me or I’ll take it!”
“I don’t kiss men on the lips.”
“The fuck you don’t!” Adam tightened his hand around Vlad’s neck and jerked at his head. Although he knew Vlad could have resisted, he didn’t. Closing his eyes, he pressed his mouth up against his. For a moment, Vlad kept his lips tightly closed.
Adam reached down and fondled Vlad’s cock and balls.
Vlad moaned and parted his lips. Smiling in triumph, Adam moved his hand from the back of Vlad’s neck and stroked his fingers through his silky dreads. He kissed Vlad’s warm lips repeatedly, all the while gently pumping his cock.
In a matter of moments, Vlad’s arms went around him and he began devouring Adam’s lips with a hunger and passion that took his breath away. Then Adam was swept off his feet and carried back to the bed with Vlad’s lips still pressing against his, his tongue dancing with Adam’s.
“Don’t kiss men on the lips, huh?” Adam demanded in satisfaction as Vlad gently lowered him to the bed. He immediately lay on top of Adam, cock to cock.
“Don’t gloat, bitch!” Vlad warned, his eyes glowing.
“I take it you like bitches!” Adam shot back, curling his fingers in Vlad’s hair.
“I hate them!”
“Yeah. I can tell. I suppose your cock is always rock hard like this in the presence of hated bitches?”
Vlad sucked in a breath. “Do not push me any further, Adam! There’s only so much I will take...even from you.”
