It wasn\'t in him to refuse one who held so much influence over him, though he made a brave effort at doing so - by opening his mouth.  Instead of a refusal, however, quite the opposite exited.

"No, of course I wouldn\'t refuse you," he told the blonde sheepishly, an apologetic smile gracing his lips as he shifted in his seat, leaning slightly forward in a subconscious effort to appease and comfort his companion.  "It\'s just that I don\'t need to drink, because I did last night.  I can always take some more in, no doubt," he said with a crooked laugh.

The fact was, Lazarus had to be in the same situation; there was no way one as old as he needed to drink nightly, yet he had a companion in his suite regularly.  As he\'d sensed when passing the other boy earlier, though, that wasn\'t always in pursuit of drinking; the lord of the house certainly used his minions in other, far more pleasurable ways as well.

None of it was anything he was willing to bring up with Lazarus, so he would simply take a shallow drink from whichever boy he got to be polite and then retire for the evening.  Two full nights of travel and mentally taxing negotiations with a variety of people had left him keen to sink into his mattress and slumber.

"Good, then," Lazarus said, slapping his thighs as a way of settling their communication.  "Tell me, have you travelled much?  What location is your favourite?" he prompted, wanting a conversation with Kerr to keep him occupied until the boys came.  It certainly wouldn\'t take long for Rigby to rile them up and have them brought over.  Perhaps another few minutes and there would be a knocking on the door.  No doubt Kerr wouldn\'t be able to finish answering Lazarus\' questions before they were interrupted, but that was okay - he was looking forward to drinking with the other vampire and seeing his reaction to either boy (for both reacted sexually when drunk from and were often bold and willing in their actions) when drinking from one.

Kerr talked about the fact that he and his family were very well travelled as far as continental Europe went.  They\'d begun their days in Ireland and moved throughout the British Isles when they\'d had their first taste of life as a vampire becoming difficult - deaths had occurred in the mortal ranks they\'d drunk from, even when they weren\'t trying because none of them were very old and experienced when they first set out (Kerr neglected to mention the fact that Sawyl was sired by an ancient - as was he - and they\'d killed him before embarking blindly on their journeys).

He\'d just settled down to talking about the country he loved the most so far - Italy - when the boys entered.  His passionate waxing about the balmy nights on the coast or the secretive liaisons one might have in the orchards (even if he hadn\'t indulged, it was the romance of the place that inspired him) dwindled away as Lazarus introduced their guests.  The boys - young men, really - looked sleepy and Kerr wondered if they\'d been brought from their beds for this task.  They seemed cuddly and eager, causing Kerr to squirm somewhat when William ingratiated himself upon his lap and entwined his arms trustingly about his neck.

Furtive glances across him towards Lazarus told the Irishman that he wasn\'t being watched, for the blonde was murmuring to Eric so he looked back at William somewhat worriedly.  Drinking from a warm, willing mortal was far different from bleeding a sheep and butchering its corpse for sale as he usually did - the blood was rarely warm when he drank it and not all that pleasant for it.  Still, it sustained him and that was all he needed.

Looking into William\'s docile gaze told him that there was far more than sustenance to be gained here and it made him gulp.  Hard.  Gathering his courage, he began kissing the boy\'s throat, using his tongue to nudge and test, finding a perfect position to bite very quickly.  It was like it was meant to be and the boy\'s soft sighs were a surprising encouragement to him.  He bit, swiftly and smoothly, the piercings in his flesh shallow enough to let a small amount of blood leak out with every pump of the boy\'s heart.

Memories and sensations assaulted Kerr and he was awed by the power of it.  It had been decades since he\'d drunk from a living being and it was very suddenly brought home to him how wonderful human blood was by comparison to everything else.  It was the sweetest of nectars, the most seductive liquid he\'d ever held upon his tongue and his arms wound about William, pulling him closer yet, to savour the intoxication of it all.

Not long after he\'d begun drinking, however, a very different sensation had him opening his eyes in alarm.  William\'s sighs had become moans of pleasure and he was wriggling purposefully against Kerr, his hand sneaked between the two of them and cupping the vampire\'s crotch.  It responded to the attention against his will - the mortal seemed far more adept at such a task than his age warranted - alarming him into closing off the shallow wounds prematurely so that he could pull back and look at William in shock.

His expression obviously didn\'t register with the dazed boy.  "Are we going to your bed now?" he asked dreamily, leaning in for a kiss.  Kerr dodged his seeking lips, getting a hand between them in order to press his index finger to William\'s lips - he only puckered them, laughed, and then began sucking on the digit, his meaning clear as he looked up at Kerr from beneath his lashes.

"Dear God," the vampire stammered, aghast at having his finger sucked and his gentlemanly ploys thwarted by a lustful protagonist.  "No, that wasn\'t my intention," he said indignantly.  Thankfully, it pulled William off his finger; unfortunately it gave him entirely the wrong message.

"Oh, we\'re staying here, then?" the brunette asked blithely and, almost as quickly as a vampire himself might do so, he shifted position on Kerr\'s lap, straddling him.  To Kerr\'s utter horror, he wantonly pressed his bulging crotch to Kerr\'s and rubbed, moaning while his body undulated and he pressed his face into the hollow of Kerr\'s throat.  His hot breath there was maddening, causing Kerr to swallow again as his hands went to William\'s waist, in an effort to stay him.

"Lord... no, I didn\'t mean that, either," the vampire told the mortal, his eyelids fluttering.  His body wasn\'t interested in his dignity nor in easing himself into this new environment - not with a willing, warm being humping his lap so deliciously, anyway.  His body was quite willing to succumb to this unexpected delight, drunk on the wine of human blood and buoyed by the most pliant and eager body he\'d met in years.  Looking across at Lazarus for clues as to how to handle things gave him no assistance, either - the ancient was very obviously enjoying Eric, touching him skilfully.

Kerr pressed his eyes closed and gritted his teeth, leaning his head back on the chair and trying to ignore the fact that William\'s hands were now in his pants and those warm lips were on his throat.  It was almost humiliating, the way his body reacted so eagerly when he couldn\'t with any certainty say that he was even attracted to the boy - brunettes generally weren\'t his thing, blondes were, for a start - he was just there.  It made him feel like an absolute heel and he couldn\'t in good conscience let this continue.  By the same token, he couldn\'t let Lazarus think he was being rude or a prude, either, so a devious plan finally hatched in his brain.

His actions were mostly shielded from the ancient; he reached down to cup William\'s bulge, gulping when it caused the boy to buck and move his lips to Kerr\'s for an impassioned kiss.  He allowed his eyes to close and began employing a few of his other talents in order to resolve the situation.  Using telekinesis, he sought the sensitive bundle of nerves he knew to be buried in the boy\'s behind, pressuring it rhythmically though his hands strayed nowhere near that area.  At the same time, he dug through the boy\'s mind and found the images at the very centre of his memories that seemed the most graphic, that tingled the most when he touched them, declaring them to be his fondest memories - it meant that the sensation that was most prominent for William was that of a mouth around him, but Kerr was certain he wouldn\'t care.

The effect was near instant and electric.  William\'s body stiffened and he cried out helplessly as he rode the waves of the most intense, painless orgasm he\'d ever had to its completion, clinging to Kerr before flopping limply atop the vampire, unable to function immediately, let alone talk.  Kerr still felt shame, though he was glad it was over - the patch of clothing he was still cupping began to dampen as William\'s seed soaked into it so he removed his hand, patting his waist once more as he held the quivering mortal.  His own erection was still yearning for a similar release but he hope now that William had climaxed, it would die down of its own accord.

Kissing the boy\'s feverish forehead, Kerr peeked across at Lazarus, doubting he and his mortal would be anywhere close to finished and wondering if it would be polite to excuse himself and William so that they could go their separate ways.

Lazarus had indeed been watching, though only with glances every now and then for he was busy working Eric up into an eager package, yearning to please.  Usually when the twenty year old was brought to a throbbing, wanting stage, he was at his best orally, and Lazarus considered him to be the best of the lot when it came to his mouth.  He\'d noticed William had succumbed to Kerr\'s touch, peaking in his clothes.  Lazarus was both pleased and disappointed that Kerr had managed to work William so expertly.

"We shall swap," Lazarus declared, nudging Eric off his lap so the boy would stand (and his erection obvious and uncomfortable beneath his clothes).  "I\'ll take William who I\'m sure will be happy to return the favour you\'ve given him on me while you experience the most sinfully skilled tongue in the entire household," he said, reaching a hand to Eric\'s buttocks where he squeezed a cheek and smiled back at the grinning youth.  The compliment wasn\'t lost on Eric, who looked Kerr\'s way (and ignoring his mortal companion on Kerr\'s lap).

"I can make you last or bring release quick, whatever you prefer," Eric offered, with a mumbled \'good boy\' from Lazarus even as the blonde Ancient stood and strode over to take William off Kerr\'s lap and into his arms.

"Take him into your room if you want more privacy," Lazarus offered, "though I wouldn\'t mind watching," he hinted even while he moved to his bed in order to drop William on it and returning to his armchair.

Now Kerr was entirely stumped.  He didn\'t dare refuse Lazarus.  He couldn\'t say he\'d had his fill with William, for the evidence was still there in his lap when the mortal was moved off him.  All his clever plans come to nothing; all he could do was look from the ancient\'s retreating form to Eric\'s eager one... to his lips, slightly pinked from contact with Lazarus but still not all that attractive.  He didn\'t look at them and want them around him - women\'s lips, soft, full and pink were his thing (which was why Sawyl had been so successful with him those three times) - but the situation was spinning out of his control and there was something heady about it all.

It was all about Lazarus, he realised.  The way the ancient hinted that he wanted to see, knowing it would please him... that\'s what made him want to succumb, best lips in the house or not.  The notion that Lazarus mind find some pleasure in his pleasure was submissive, he knew, but that was everything he was around one so old and he couldn\'t fight it.  Especially with a lap full of want urging him onward.

"Alright," he agreed quietly, looking up at Eric but conscious that Lazarus was returning to his seat.  "As quickly as you are able," he told the boy kindly, hoping he was true to his offer because he generally had trouble climaxing quickly from a mortal mouth.  People who needed to breathe tended to have great difficulty with one of his dimensions (again, why Sawyl had been so successful) and the process was never a quick one.  He was unsure whether having Lazarus watching would speed up the process for him, or not, though - the idea of him sitting right there in his seat caused a flutter inside him, of that he was sure.

Slouching in his seat, he watched Eric drop to his knees before him, looking helplessly at the boy\'s mouth as he untied his pants and pulled his erection free before he slithered the garment down his body and kicked them away. His penis wavered somewhat limply as he sat back down, pantsless, for he\'d been doing his best to have it retreat and so it was no longer at full strength - he didn\'t tend to fluctuate between the states of flaccid and erect very quickly.

Sitting forward momentarily, he took his shirt off, because it would dangle down in the way and he didn\'t want anything to block Lazarus\' view.  He then settled back with his arms along the chair\'s arms, hands hanging down the front, his unmarked, muscular body bare.  He had dark chest hair covering his pectorals, long and straight but not overly thick, that traced a spearing line down the centre of his abdomen to the nest of his pubis.  His legs were covered in the same dark, straight hair as on is chest, his toes wiggling somewhat self-consciously as he looked across at Lazarus.

Now that he\'d embraced the idea that he was going to please the ancient with a show, he gave himself over to it, sighing appreciatively and shifting with pleasure as Eric\'s mouth engulfed him (as best he could).  He held Lazarus\' gaze for a while, finding it was erotic rather than distracting; to his surprise, he liked being watched by the ancient and he moaned his pleasure, running his hands through Eric\'s hair affectionately, glancing down at the boy every now and then and finding what he saw only amplified his pleasure.  His hands also crept over his body, rubbing and lightly pinching his own nipples, sculpting his chest, skimming down his stomach and thighs and back into Eric\'s hair or to his shoulders.

Always, though, his gaze returned to Lazarus, the intensity of the moment lifting markedly whenever he encountered that seductive grey gaze.  He licked his lips a great deal, sucking in breath to let Eric know he was enjoying his efforts by making noise but feeling - because he was looking at Lazarus when he did it - that it wasn\'t all about the mortal at all.  It was about the ancient vampire who\'d driven him to his knees the first night he\'d met him and for whom (he was surprised to realise now) he\'d drop to his knees again.  If it pleased him.  He would even abandon his own pleasure and crawl away from Eric of that was what Lazarus hinted he wanted.

As was his habit, he pressed his feelings of supplication and willingness into Lazarus\'s mind (abandoning the seduction of Eric\'s to do so, for he\'d been doing the same for this mortal as he\'d done for William - though to a lesser degree for it made his attentions too erratic for Kerr to be consumed by them if he gave Eric too much attention), wondering if he\'d accept him or reject the offer because he did prefer watching more.

Lazarus\' mind was very hard to press a mental message into, Kerr would find, and what did manage to get through brought a dark frown to Lazarus who shook his head while trying to shake it off.  He hadn\'t expected Kerr to want to share that way, and so he told Kerr in no uncertain terms how he felt about that.

"Don\'t," he said, which brought Eric\'s attentions to a pause and he remained still for a moment, waiting for further command but when none came he continued, deep throating Kerr in a way that usually brought everyone around to their peak in quick fashion.

Lazarus didn\'t break eye contact from Kerr, but when that sensation of having his mind invaded faded, the frown melted and he managed to offer the nude vampire a sulty smile.  He liked that Kerr wasn\'t prudish (like he\'d thought initially at the first few refusals but now the other vampire was proving himself quite capable of enjoying the stimulation offered around him).  For him to come across two new males in the household one after another who protected their sex unreasonably would only frustrate him greatly.  Ben would remain his challenge, though he was looking forward to seeing what he could share with Kerr - would he do as much as Rigby?  If so, that was intriguing, for this man in front of him was a vampire in his own right, without any loyalties to Lazarus other than the fact he\'d acknowledged Lazarus\' great age.

"If he can\'t bring you to your peak in the next few minutes, I recommend you take it out on his rear," Lazarus said, and knew that Eric would likely feel every thickened inch of Kerr\'s ridiculously sized erection if it was forced into his ass.  "We can both take turns," he enthused, erect and throbbing himself from the little show before him.  He\'d been intending for William to imitate Eric\'s actions on him, but a fuck was always better.

As willing as he was to please Lazarus, Kerr found that the notion of actually having sex with Eric scared him silly.  He\'d done it with Sawyl, certainly, but the little vampire had enjoyed the incapacitation, could heal quickly.  He had no idea how to take his time and measure himself properly with a mortal and he didn\'t want to end up hurting Eric.  Pain was always a terrible dampener to lust.

With these terrified thoughts in mind, Kerr concentrated on Eric\'s mouth, adjusting the boy\'s hands to compensate where he couldn\'t reach, liking the feeling of the warmth around him enough (with his own hands guiding the mortal\'s) that it brought him to his peak within the stated \'few minutes\' time limit.  It was surprisingly good, though nothing bone-jarring, since there were so many pressures upon him and it had been a century or so since his body had understood this pleasure.

"He\'s good," he murmured, smiling blearily at Lazarus and patting Eric\'s head appreciatively.  "Why don\'t you two finish each other off and I\'ll go to bed?" he offered, ready to lean down and collect his clothes and leave the room immediately.  His offer to pleasure Lazarus himself had been met with firm resistance and a stern command - he wasn\'t about to humiliate himself in that sense again.  Besides, both Eric and Lazarus were still eager; it seemed a perfect opportunity for them to indulge and him to retreat, as far as he was concerned.

Kerr\'s climax pleased Lazarus greatly, watching and listening as the boy swallowed in gulps, spilling nothing though he did sit back on his ankles and had to wipe his mouth with his sleeve before looking first at Kerr and then at Lazarus for recognition of his task.  He got his compliment from Kerr and looked back at the darker vampire with a pleased smile.  He\'d thought he wasn\'t doing well, for Kerr had taken much longer than others had when experiencing Eric\'s talent.

"That sounds a fine idea," he said, standing up and gesturing for Eric to settle into his bed near William (who he noticed out of the corner of his eye that he was touching himself - another audience member to the display Eric had given).  When the boy was out of the way, Lazarus took the two steps over to Kerr and extended his hand to touch him on the shoulder.  "Don\'t send me mental messages," he said more softly now, so that only Kerr would hear.  "Anything you have to tell me will be said out loud."

He\'d particularly despised the invasion in his head, but wasn\'t about to berate Kerr for something he hadn\'t specifically told him not to do - so now he was specifically telling him not to do it.

"Understood," Kerr gulped, looking up at Lazarus through large eyes.  He felt like a child caught doing something terribly naughty and Lazarus the parent who was thoroughly disappointed in his behaviour.  He wouldn\'t make the mistake again and he would ensure his family didn\'t try the same thing - all four of them used mental communication as easily as mortals breathed air so he desperately hoped they wouldn\'t slip up and anger the ancient.

"Goodnight," he bade respectfully before reaching down to scoop up his clothes and scuttle out of the room with them covering his genitals.

The next few nights went smoothly, with Kerr discovering there was a field that his sheep could feed in (for behind the gardens and stables were livestock fiels - so that the boys could eat meat without the older boys being sent to the city to shop for groceries too often, though they did that also in order to fetch bread, extra meat and other items that didn\'t come readily to the mostly self-sufficient manor Lazarus had set up).

Every night Kerr would experience two things; the sexual adventures of Lazarus and the spying eyes of Ben.

With the former, Lazarus had begun to delve into a variety of sexual elements with which to seduce Kerr.  Not only was he participating almost every night with a boy to either drink from or to be brought to orgasm by, but he was also required to watch what Lazarus did with them, and the Ancient\'s actions grow bolder with each passing night, and always did he offer for Kerr to share a boy with him, every night offering the sex of one of his youths and every night being declined but with Kerr giving in on a different vein.  The fifth night Lazarus felt like he\'d bonded quite well with Kerr, for with a boy between them (Avon, in fact, for the first time he\'d been invited back since being sent down to the boiler rooms) - Lazarus was claiming his ass while Avon worked his mouth around Kerr.  Lazarus made comments to Kerr that they were connected via this mortal between them, and the pair stared at each other over Avon\'s body while they thrust in and out of him.  Lazarus reached his peak first, causing Avon to mostly choke on Kerr\'s member, and promised Kerr that he would accept the next boy on offer, in order to please him.

With the latter, at a couple (or sometimes several) times early in the night, Kerr would feel Ben\'s thoughts and turn in time to see the blonde youth retreating through a door or staring at him whenever their paths crossed (though Ben was shy enough to look away or move away when caught out).

Ben was spared most of Lazarus\' attentions for the past week, even though a drinking night had come and gone, Lazarus hadn\'t taken his blood, nor insisted on his sex as much as he had on prior nights.  Ben met this with relief, thinking Lazarus was either trying a different tactic or he\'d already sated himself with someone before Ben\'s visit.

He wasn\'t thinking of Lazarus as he climbed the stairs on the sixth night, however.  With some overhearing, he\'d found out that the strange dark vampire was named Kerr, and every night while listening to the boys fool around in their rooms near his, he would fantasise about Kerr, mostly putting his image in Lazarus\' place, using his hand to stimulate the fantasy and feeling both guilty and excited over it (especially if he got to see Kerr a few times earlier that night).

He knew his resolve was weakening.  The pressure Lazarus had applied on him, the arguments he\'d heard from the blonde and being surrounded by sex constantly was making him want to delve into their world.  He was in the middle of it after all, and everything seemed so good, so pleasurable, he wondered if he was being a fool for denying himself.

He\'d climbed the last stair riser (on the opposite set of stairs from the one that took him near Lazarus\' room, for he\'d developed the habit of being in places where he might be able to spy Kerr), and heard the voice of the vampire he was enamoured with.  Peeking around the wall into the corridor, he stared at Kerr while thinking all sorts of improper thoughts about him, hoping that he could look a great deal and not get caught.  The fleeting glances and short stares weren\'t enough.  He wanted to stare at Kerr all night, as strange as that sounded.

Once again he was caught out after a minute, and his eyes widened with startlement before he pulled his head back into the space he\'d been peeking around, at the landing of the stairs right near the corner of the corridor Kerr was standing in.  He hoped Kerr would just start talking again, but when there was silence, he was about to peek out again.  He didn\'t have to, for turning to face the corridor again found him staring directly at Kerr, a foot away, freezing him to the spot.

Once he was close to the boy, Kerr somewhat lost his nerve but he managed to cover it easily enough by posing against the wall just around the corner from Ben, leaning on his shoulder and tucking his thumbs casually into his pants pockets.  He smiled, jauntily crossing the foot closest to the wall across the other (since his upper body was taking all his weight) and looking at the blonde with twinkling eyes.

"Ho there," he greeted quietly, being sure not to show his fangs (though that was a pointless gesture, considering Ben\'s likely relationship with the lord of the house).  "How was your day?" he asked.

It was a limping thing to say, but he couldn\'t very well start with, \'So, I know you\'ve been watching me, do you know how loud your thoughts about what I look like naked are?\', could he?  He\'d embarrass the boy into skittering off - as had happened over the past six nights.  Kerr\'s evening always began in Lazarus\' suites with him attempting to have an enlightening conversation with the ancient that inevitably turned into him fending off one sort of sexual act or another.  He was then left to his own devices for the rest of the night.

Most of those were spent with him checking in on Rigby\'s training and then poking around the house.  Ben seemed to have a knack for finding him lifting up large and heavy (even for him) items of furniture or oddly placed objects, for always, as soon as he became aware of the boy and moved to put whatever he was holding down (or pull his head out of wherever it was stuffed) so he could talk to him, he took too long and the boy escaped him.  He was surprisingly nimble and quick-witted for a mortal.

Not tonight, though, he\'d finally caught him head-on (his conversation about cooking with one of the boys had naturally petered off when he was alerted to Ben\'s thoughts and it hadn\'t been rude for him to saunter away).  His gaze drifted, without him intending to, to Ben\'s lips but he forced himself to look back up into his eyes instead; the combination of the mortal\'s thoughts and his own would prove a combustible combination if he didn\'t keep a lid on it, no matter that he\'d had an intense sexual experience with Lazarus an hour or so beforehand.

The question hung in the air for much longer than it should\'ve, considering the kind of innocuous question it was.  Ben was caught staring in a close up version of his long-distance sport, and blinked a few times before finally answering.

"Good," he said, surprised that it hadn\'t come out as a whisper or croak.  His voice sounded fine, in fact, and he was left gazing raptly at Kerr, who was much more handsome this close than he was from far away.

Offer yourself
God no, what would he think of me?
He\'ll probably take you up on your offer
You\'ve heard the stories, how he plays with Lazarus
Offer your blood then
It\'s been two and a half weeks, you can donate
And let him touch you
Oh God, what it would feel like to have him touch me

Ben blushed at his own internal thoughts and dropped his gaze, gathering himself before looking up again, unwilling to look away from Kerr for long when he was right there.  He tried to burn every detail of his face and physique into his memory, to be able to call it up later, when he was alone in bed.

God.  It was a lot harder than he\'d expected it would be, to be so close to someone whose inner monologue blared out between them.  Of course, he was tuning in to Ben\'s thoughts automatically as well, finding it difficult to not listen, so the situation seemed worse thanks to the pair of them, not just the mortal.

"I\'m Kerr Galvin," he smiled, holding his left hand out for the lad to shake.  He was aware that they both knew one another\'s names by happenstance, but formal introductions were something that came easily to him to speak about at that moment.  He waited until he got his predicted handshake and reply before he continued.  "I\'m glad that your day was good.  You work in the kitchens, right?"

"Ben Samson," he said, the first time he\'d said his family name in a very long time, and it felt detached and unreal on his lips.  He took the hand Kerr offered him awkwardly with his own left hand - for Ben was right-handed, and held it rather than shaking it, focussing on the cool feel of his flesh against Ben\'s own warm one.  He swallowed, very aware of his pulse quickening at the touch and the zinging feelings he was getting throughout his body from not only being so close to Kerr but touching him.

"Yes.  In the dining room, more so," he corrected, for he didn\'t know how to cook and it seemed misleading to claim that he worked in the kitchens when he was only a server.  The only business he had in the kitchens was getting the trays of food out of there and giving it to hungry youths around his own age (or older).

"Ah, I stand corrected," the Irishman grinned, his voice soft as Ben left his hand in his.  It was not a huge hand and not overly rough or weathered and it felt warm and almost petite inside his larger one.  "I\'m pleased to finally meet you," he murmured, his gaze dropping to Ben\'s mouth reflexively.

He also made no move to let go of the boy\'s hand.

"I\'ve noticed you watching me poke about the house but every time I go to speak to you, you disappear.  Have I been... doing something wrong?  Poking into things I shouldn\'t?" he asked blithely, his thumb now stroking Ben\'s wrist, delighted by the leaping pulse.
