Foray
« on: July 10, 2011, 12:11:55 AM »
David entered Risk and, as was his custom, stood framed in the doorway for a few moments, gauging the happenings of the club.  It seemed full and he smiled, looking around at the throngs of mortals ripe for the picking.  He lifted a hand from where it had been, thumb hooked into the pocket of his dark blue jeans, and ran it through his hair, flicking the golden cloud into a slightly different tangled arrangement of curls before he proceeded into the main area of the club.

A band was playing tonight; he\'d seen them before and didn\'t mind them but didn\'t really pay attention to who they were.  He just liked the way they could work the crowd, really.  Deciding to get a taste of that for himself, he sauntered casually through the jostling creatures within the large space, looking curiously into the booths for people he knew, inspecting potentials and mentally rejecting anyone that didn\'t appeal.  He wasn\'t here to waste his time with charity, he was here for a good time, tonight.

The dancefloor drew him in and he sidled into a nice tight spot near the middle, his white, tightly-fitted business style shirt flaring beneath the flashing lights above.  The lapels were untucked, the long sleeves rolled up to his elbows and the top three buttons were undone to show off a goodly hint of his sculpted chest and the two gold chains he wore - one thick and resting in the dip at the base of his throat, the other thinner and hanging down a little more, with a peace symbol on it.

David liked wearing white.  Everyone else in this place seemed to favour dark colours and black, as if there was some sort of morbid rule that said undead had to equal dead colour choices, too.  Not him.  He looked damn good in white, he stood out beneath the lights and he proved he was no sheep all in one go.  His pull-on shoes were white leather as well, with sharply pointed toes and a glossy sheen, low heels giving his over-six-foot height an extra little boost.  He didn\'t mind standing out, it meant greater choice would be his.

As he danced, his sinuous moves and come-hither stare attracted a few flies but none he was particularly interested in, so he made sure to keep moving.  By the time he\'d got through the whole crowd, he\'d been there half an hour and decided there were only two potentials for entertainment on the dancefloor.  Disappointing.  He hadn\'t yet decided whether his foray tonight would result in him taking his plunder home or simply upstairs to any one of the funky new rooms, but neither of the dancefloor boys showed that much potential.

Taking a break from dancing, David stepped down off the floor, brushing his fingers through his hair again.  His preening was habitual, his gaze sliding around to ensure that he was noticed as he strolled towards the bar; it wasn\'t that his ego needed the boost, it was more that... everything was right with the world when he was getting attention.  He expected it and it was not getting it that surprised him.

While wending his way through the crowd, he got another unusual surprise; he was bumped into.  A shorter brunette literally thumped into his chest, causing the vampire to blink and frown down at him in consternation.  "Are you right there?" he demanded sarcastically, flicking his hair and thinking the mortal would either apologise or scurry off, opening up the path to the bar for him once more.  Strangely, he did neither, and it gave David pause.

It\'s long but I had a lot to say. Sorry. :)

Bryant felt that he was now the predator, and the vampires were his prey. It had taken the young mortal a long time to come to this conclusion. He\'d been bitten, fed upon, and fucked by a lot of vampires since his first encounter with one in Pisky Memorial Park. Since then, he\'d learned to play those silly little vampire games, and work their silly little system. That\'s what vampires were to Bryant, silly. Well, they were silly, but they were also super hot! Bryant had become so hooked on vampire sex, that the last time he\'d been with a mortal, he\'d been unable to cum. The mortal boy had also been really sexy! None of this mattered to Bryant. If you couldn\'t sink sexy, white fangs into his neck while fucking him at a high speed per second, then why were you even talking to him?

Vampires were also intriguing to Bryant. He liked to study them, like a white coat studying crazy people. He\'d met several vampires of interest in the city, and was amazed at how different they all were. There was Orias, the strong, soft hearted artist, the young, hot vampire who\'d pinned him down in the park, William the narcissistic vampire he\'d met his first time at Risk and Lisa-Joe the brutal fem fatal owner of The White Rabbit. Each of these vampires had made a distinct, different impression that had taught the young human how different and insane all vampires really were. His most recent encounters had been with Conner, Scott,  and Jake. Conner had used Bryant as a subject in some sort of experiment. Although at first Bryant had fought Conner tooth and nail, he\'d formed an uneasy friendship with him and his lover Scott. Jake had proved to Bryant, that slight cockiness aside, vampires could be normal people. The only steadfast, unshakable conclusion Bryant had come to about vampires, was that you shouldn\'t come to steadfast, unshakable conclusions about vampires.

So now, a bit junkie, fang banger, blood slut, whatever name people chose to call it, Bryant was one of them. Tonight he moved about Risk, looking for his next \'victim.\' His brown hair had just been cut short, and swooped up into a neat row of little spikes. It was the kind of hair style that said, "I\'m messy and don\'t care," but actually took several minutes to get just right. His gray eyes looked almost brown in the darkness of the club, but a slight hint of green could be seen shining out from them if one looked close enough. Bryant wore a tight Blue V-Neck. He\'d learned the low cut style attracted potential biters, because of the massive neck exposure. He wore skin tight jeans that rounded the curves of his ass, and slid down his legs to his New Balance sneakers. He was bigger than he used to be. Much to his disapproval he hadn\'t grown taller. No amount of lifting could suddenly stretch his spine. However, he was buffer. A shirt that was once baggy, now fit skin tight on the former twink turned gym bunny. Despite his advancement, Bryant still felt skinny, wimpy and weak. If we could only see ourselves the way other people saw us.

The band was good. The lights were low, and Bryant\'s mental \'fangs\' were looking for blood. He scanned the area for vamps, and found only fledglings and ego freaks. The few half decent vampires all held human dancing partners, and Bryant didn\'t want to play home wrecker unless he had too. With booze at Risk outrageously overpriced, Bryant decided to stand by the bar and look pouty, in the hope that some old vampire might buy him a drink to make him smile. He wasn\'t proud of himself for such a thing, but \'vampires gotta eat, and twinks gotta\' drink.\'

After thinking that exact thought to provide self justification for the cheap act he was about to commit, Bryant began working his way through the thick crowd of dancing patrons.

"Excuse me," was uttered several times, amid several bumped elbows, knees, legs and arms. The floor was hot, and Bryant began to sweat. The music was pumping, the people were dancing like mad, and Bryant, the little engine who could, was plowing through to the bar. Suddenly Bryant felt his face be stung, as he\'d just walked into somebody\'s chest. After the few colors that one sees after a direct collision dissipated, Bryant looked up to see the person he\'d just crashed into.

What he saw made him turn his head to one side, to insure he wasn\'t dreaming. A hunk, tall and muscular all in white, stood towering over the small Bryant. His long blonde hair looked like fresh wheat growing in the fields, and his eyes were powerful and piercing. His skin was smooth, and chalk like, almost perfectly white, with just a touch of pink, and his cheek bones were high and perfect. Realizing that he\'d been spoken to, Bryant did his best to translate what he was sure was English. In his daze, he\'d been unable to fully process what the blonde had said to him. He assumed it functioned on the realm of \'excuse me\' or \'watch it!\' His tone seemed sarcastic and annoyed.

As he returned to planet Earth, Bryant realized he didn\'t want this guy to go away. Yet, in his stupor, all he could manage to say was...

"Hi there." His accent was thick, southern and wet. His tone was friendly, yet formal.

David\'s frown abated as he saw the pretty face looking (a little dazedly, to be honest, though he was sure they hadn\'t connected that hard) up at him and he breathed a laugh through his nose at the simple words that had been uttered.  It dissipated his annoyance at being collided with, especially since he quite liked the look of the overall package, too.  The open neck was alluring, so he could only assume the mortal knew what he was doing, to come here dressed like that.

"Hi, are you alright?  You look a little dazed, do you need to sit down?" he enquired, grasping the mortal\'s elbow and steering him out of the crowd without waiting for an answer, aiming for a bit of space against a wall since he couldn\'t see any actual seats free.  The place was really full tonight.

Once they were in a position where the mortal could lean against the cool wall, David released his hold on the boy and looked him over.  Even though he was tall and muscular, he felt an appreciative response within him as he noted his companion\'s more compact muscular physique; he looked strong enough to bear a little bit of rough play, should he wish it, not so insubstantial (like a lot of these Goth-type club hangers-on) that he\'d faint from a little bit of exertion.  It all looked good and smelled clean and strong, too, so David smiled.

"It\'s a bit busy in here, I can\'t see any seats," he explained their positioning to his companion, his voice raised slightly to accommodate mortal hearing and his body tilted towards the brunette to further assist their communications.  "I\'m David."

His right hand was held out towards the mortal to accompany his friendly expression, his left hand hanging off his jeans pocket once more.  He\'d been told plenty of times that hooking his thumb into the corner of the pocket or through a belt loop and letting his fingers dangle down like that just drew attention to his dick (though it was a subconscious body language cue).  Whenever he heard it, he laughed it off, generally telling whatever idiot felt the need to point that out to him that they should\'ve just read the signs and used their mouth to meet the obvious, in that case.  It always shut the witty do-gooders up.

Was this really happening? From a simple "hi," Bryant had been drug half way across Risk by a total dreamboat. He let himself be dragged by this total stranger, with no regard for his own safety. The man could have taken Bryant out to his car without even a name and he would have been fine with it. Instead the parked near a wall. Bryant was fully recovered now, and looked the guy, David, over once more. He was even more gorgeous now, and Bryant\'s insatiable lust began to creep towards the front of his brain.

The trick with the pants worked, as Bryant felt his eyes linger a bit to long on the crotch in front of him. He\' would have licked his lips had the move not looked silly. From his crotch, Bryant moved his eyes to his outstretched hand and then took it in his own. As he spoke he curled his ring finger inwards, giving off the slightest hint of sexuality.

"Nice to meet you," Bryant said, smiling. The ou sound was liquid and full of twang. Bryant held on to the hand, waiting for David to make the next move.

David\'s jaw skewed and he tapped his back teeth together thoughtfully, his brown eyes glittering as they took in the mortal\'s actions.  That little finger move... it was corny but effective.

"I like your accent.  You got a name?" he enquired, his chin lifting in a sharp gesture that entreated his companion to answer him, his eyebrows flicking upward briefly at the same time.

It seemed they were already into flirting and they hadn\'t even exchanged names properly.  That was always good and David grinned a little more wolfishly as he held onto the mortal\'s hand and moved his body closer.  Their hands were then hanging, clasped together, between them, very near crotches.

In all the craziness Bryant realized he hadn\'t told David his name. He let out a laugh as he was brought closer and let it grow into a broad simile. The body was cold to the touch. Could David be a vampire? Bryant, already really turned on, could hardly contain his excitement.

"Thanks," the mortal said. "It\'s Bryant. Sorry I didn\'t give mine, when you gave yours."

He inched a tiny bit closer so that David could feel his hot breath against his cold skin. He\'d learned vampires loved this. Something about warmth seemed to excite those at room temperature. He squeezed the hand a little tighter. There crotches were only about an inch from touching.

David\'s eyes narrowed as Bryant moved closer, his heat even more palpable as his breath filled the minimal space between them. Damn, this mortal knew all the tricks, it seemed, and he wasn\'t afraid to make a play when he liked what he saw. Two could play that game, though.
 
"You want to come upstairs with me?" David asked, his gaze drawn to the pulse leaping in Bryant\'s throat even as his hips shifted slightly, wedging their interlocked hands between them. The pressure was mostly on his crotch and it was pleasant enough, the implication that a feed and a fuck awaited the mortal now obvious.
 
If that wasn\'t going to be to his taste, now was the time for Bryant to pull out. David didn\'t anticipate that would happen, though, and his intense look proclaimed that.

Bryant was so down to go upstairs. This guy made it easy. No bullshit, no "respect me" crap. It was simple. "Do you want to go upstairs?" " Bryant liked directness in a man, and this David had it. Was this guy the solution to all of Bryant\'s problems? Or was this just another one night feed and fuck? At this moment, Bryant didn\'t care a rat\'s ass. This guy was fucking gorgeous.

"The real question," Bryant began seductively. He leaned in closer, and stood on his tip toes to whisper in David\'s ear. "Why are we still standing here?"

With that he gave the ear in question the slightest of licks. He was being such a whore, and it was ever so fun. "Lead the way David," Bryant suggested. He would go anywhere with this hunk of vampire.

David snickered at the question, then quirked an eyebrow when his ear was licked.  Because Bryant moved away immediately afterward, it wasn\'t as pleasant a move as the mortal might have suspected, though it was no deal breaker.  With an incline of his head, the vampire turned and began wending his way through the crowd once more, working his way to the stairs that would take he and his guest to the themed rooms of Risk.

He headed first for his favourite room, Glamour, but was chagrined to find it occupied.  Thankfully, his second favourite, French Renaissance, wasn\'t and he brought his mortal victim in, closed and locked the door and pressed him against it all in one swift manoeuvre.  Leaning his right elbow above Bryant\'s head, his hand dangled and toyed with the nicely styled brunette hair while his left hand got a firm grasp of the mortal\'s hip.  His weight was all on his left leg, his right bent at the knee and swinging slightly as it rubbed against Bryant\'s hip.

"Are you clean?" he enquired bluntly, flicking his head so that his mane of hair wouldn\'t fall in his face when he leaned down to press it to his victim\'s throat.  He couldn\'t smell anything except excitement leaking out of those pores but it was a question he always asked straight up, so he knew what sort of party he was going to be getting when he bit.  "Had any alcohol or anything?"

Sorry it took so long, I\'m moving

As David\'s hand swept through Bryant\'s hair, the mortal found himself let out a deep breath of anticipation. David\'s eyes were so breathtaking. His height made him so powerful. Bryant had never been this attracted to anyone, human or vampire. Seeing as how Bryant hadn\'t reached the bar, he\'d never gotten his drink, and therefore hadn\'t had any booze. As for drugs, vampires were Bryant\'s drug. Anything else he considered just plain stupid.

He nodded his head in the affirmative. "I\'m clean," he said, never letting himself take his eyes off of David\'s.

(Yayyy for moving, nice for you to have your own place at last! :))

Although he\'d pulled back briefly to look at Bryant, David\'s face was still nuzzling the mortal\'s throat, his nose gently brushing the skin as he waited to have his suspicions confirmed.  When they were, a smile lifted the corner of his mouth and then he started kissing the exposed column of flesh before him.

Though he leaned his weight in heavily against the mortal, pinning him to the door with his lower body, his lips and tongue were mere whispers across the sensitive covering of the mortal\'s jugular.  "Ohhh, you want me to bite you, don\'t you?" the vampire teased, glee in his tones as the mortal squirmed against him.

David\'s left hand slid beyond the boy\'s hip and he got a firm handful of Bryant\'s ass, yanking him up against his crotch.  Undulations began as he pressed himself against the mortal, dipping and thrusting a little to create some extra friction beneath their zippers all while his mouth danced at the erratic pulse beating frantically against his lips.

"What else do you like, little rabbit?" he whispered, sliding upward so that his lips were barely touching the skin of Bryant\'s ear lobe when he spoke, grinding with anything but subtlety against his pelvis down below.  The rhythmic bumping of Bryant being shoved into the door gave the vampire a good amount of satisfaction; it would announce their presence in the room even if the locked sign didn\'t.  He enjoyed owning things.

Bryant was in heaven. This vampire was savage, passionate, and powerful. These were all things that attracted the mortal, and he looked at David with a mix of awe and excitement as his ass was grabbed, and his crotch grinned against. David was now fully in control. Bryant, someone so in control of his life, often found that with a vampire, he became completely submissive. Maybe being with such a powerful man made him feel helpless? Maybe he was looking for a father figure? It could have been a lot of things, that made Bryant answer at David\'s beck and call.  However, it was probably as simple as David was fucking hot!

"Yes, bite me in your favorite artery," Bryant said, barley above a whisper.

When asked what else the little rabbit wanted, Bryant looked David in the eyes and said with a combination of lust and longing, "I want you to fuck me for as long as you want to!" His eyes focused on David\'s and he was reminded how powerful they were. He melt all over again. As much as David liked owning things, Bryant wanted to be owned, at least in the bedroom.

David\'s eyes darkened to a burnished gold brown and his nostrils flared as the mortal he was with wantonly encouraged him.  It was a dangerous thing for him to be given complete freedom and an open invitation to do whatever he liked with a mortal, but it was also irresistible.  He wouldn\'t be refusing complete prostration from such a beautiful, willing body.

With a growl low in his throat, he removed Bryant\'s shirt and then his own, tossing them behind him somewhere and then spinning the mortal so that he was now facing the door they\'d barely got through before they were upon each other.  He lifted the boy\'s hands and placed them flat upon the portal, silently indicating Bryant should brace himself as his arms wound around the warm body to undo his pants.

"Just a taste for now," David warned as his left hand wound up to Bryant\'s chest and pushed him back against his own cool body and his right dove down inside the mortal\'s pants to grope him over his underwear (should he be wearing any).  He leaned down and sank his fangs into the right side of Bryant\'s neck, then, piercing his flesh shallowly so that the blood pooled fairly slowly out of him and he could drink for longer.

The vampire was a big believer in the ebb and flow of things and he would repeatedly bite and heal, bite and heal throughout a session with a mortal - if sex was involved - in order to build up their arousal before letting it die over and over again.  It always got him hornier and he found it made for a more explosive orgasm, in the end... all that build and fall.  Some men got terribly frustrated by it, though, if he played too long, so he would be careful to monitor the reactions he got.  Starting now, as he sucked on Bryant\'s neck, massaged his cock and ground his own erection against the tantalising ass he was pressed to.

In the rush of what was happening, all Bryant could feel was the pleasure-pain of David\'s fangs. Then, like clockwork, the same orgasmic feeling gripped him. It started in the artery of his neck and worked it\'s way through the youth\'s body, until it was all the way down in the tips of his toes.

Bryant never went limp the way most mortals being bitten did. He stayed awake and alert, hovering in a wave of god-like pleasure. He, already in love with the cold feeling of David\'s soft skin, tilted his head back further into David\'s chest, and let what little muscular control he was holding on to go. He was a rag doll in David\'s arms. His eyes were closed, and yet he felt like he could still see the stud of a man, jerking him off and grinding against his ass.

The pocking back there led Bryant\'s heightened senses (on a count of the bitting) to feel that David was probably packing some serious meat. He wanted to touch it. Yet, nothing short of David taking his sweet fangs out of Bryant\'s neck would get him to move out of the serene state that he was currently being exposed too.

Because it was just a taste, it wasn\'t even two minutes before David had bitten the tip of his tongue and prodded the holes in Bryant\'s neck with it in turn, feeling the mortal\'s flesh close up.  His mouth stayed there, kissing and sucking gently on the healing skin, though he\'d opened his eyes - it was habit to feed with his eyes closed - and was now looking down the muscular torso in front of him, at the prize concealed in Bryant\'s gaping pants.

Using both hands, he shoved at the clothing still encompassing the mortal\'s waist, getting it halfway down his thighs and leaving Byant\'s hard cock exposed.  He stroked it with both hands, appreciating the heat of the rod, the texture of living skin, the turgid throbbing as he played with it.  He rubbed his thumb across the head, swiping up whatever amount of sticky excitement had leaked out of the mortal before bringing it to his mouth to taste.

"Mmm," he said around his thumb, his head having lifted off Bryant\'s neck while his other hand continued to stroke.  "A fitting tribute.  Come," he insisted, pushing Bryant out of his leaning position and stepping back, forcing the mortal to support himself rather hurriedly.  David didn\'t seem to care, for he was already spinning away, walking out of the rest of his clothes and heading for the bed.

"Get your clothes off and come here.  I want to feel you around my cock," he declared imperiously, flinging the bedclothes off carelessly and sprawling on his back upon the pale base sheet, leaning up on his elbows so he could watch what Bryant would do for him.  He\'d meant his mouth for now, though if the mortal decided to impale himself, the blonde would certainly not stop him; anything, so long as he got warmth and wetness around his throbbing seven inches sometime soon.

*Clutch my pearls!

Bryant felt the rapid healing of his neck, and was slightly surprised by the shortness of the bite. The only conclusion he could draw was that David didn\'t want this to end anytime soon, and draining Bryant too much, would prevent further play. He stumbled against the door when David nudged him forward, and was relieved David hadn\'t seen the clumsy recovery.

As to the compliment David gave his cock, Bryant could only smile a small nervous smile. Being a bottom, Bryant had what most of his friends called a waste of a good dick. Seven inches and thick. That\'s what he told people in the bars, and as David had just felt and seen, Bryant wasn\'t lying.

He fumbled trying to get the remaining clothes off, and once undressed turned to see his god, David, lying like a work of art on the bed. He was even more beautiful in this light, and Bryant was drawn to him on another level much higher than simple lust. Bryant\'s suspicion about David\'s massive member has been correct. A hard, smooth, shaft, lay sticking up at Bryant\'s face. Even if David hadn\'t commanded him to get around it, Bryant would have done so.

He crawled up onto the bed and gripped the fat seven inches in his hand. He stroked up and down the shaft, and used his other hand to tickle David\'s balls. His lips kissed David\'s inner thighs, and all the areas surrounding the cock. Only when he could feel David\'s tension reach a critical point, did he finally put his lips on the massive cock. He worked the head and upper shaft for a moment, letting his saliva slide down the dick. This would make deep throating it much easier, and Bryant wanted to deep throat it badly. Eventually, the cock was nice and wet, and Bryant took it all the way to it\'s base. This was not the first time Bryant had given head, so he didn\'t gag, not even for a moment. The whole time his second hand massaged David\'s balls. Bryant found that this combination made most men melt, and he desperately hoped David was liking it.

As David\'s pleasure rose, the lazy smile he\'d been sporting shifted into one of great intensity, his eyes glittering as the pressure built beneath Bryant\'s expert ministrations.  He knew it was time to taste the mortal again, to have his desires ebb in synchronicity with his, but this time he had a new plan.

"Swing yourself around here," he instructed thickly (at a moment when Bryant\'s mouth wasn\'t around him and stealing his ability to think straight).  Before the mortal really got much of a chance to move, however, David reached down and grabbed him, helping him into a sixty-nine position, Bryant\'s pulsing member bobbing against his chin.  "Continue," he ordered imperiously and dropped his head back on the pillow, now off his elbows and flat on the bed beneath Bryant.

His attention didn\'t go immediately to that tantalising dick, though; with a few fingers of one hand he prodded at the mortal\'s inner thigh and groin instead, his face nudging once he was certain he could reach the artery within.  Not everyone could be fed from in this manner, but Bryant carried no extra fat and so David found a place near his groin where it was close enough to the surface to be accessed.  Without further ado, he bit into his flesh, wanting to get past the pain that would flare from biting into this more tender spot and to the good feelings prompted by the blood draining out of him.

Again, this feeding would last just beyond a minute, after which time David was eager to prove his skill in fellatio greater to the mortal\'s - for surely one could not go past the ability to fuck the mouth of someone who didn\'t need to breathe?  He was relying on Bryant\'s elevated position above his mouth - on the tails of being drunk from - to get the youth carried away enough to do exactly that.

Little did David know, but the artery from which he fed was Bryant\'s favorite. The resulting moans of pleasure left the human almost comatose. He did his best to continue giving head of the same quality, but there was no getting around that he could barley focus amid the pleasure fest. The feeding was again only a tease, and Bryant could feel the tension welling up in both of them.

He wanted David to ravage him, take him, make him his. Yet, he knew why David didn\'t rush to the climax. The longer they waited, and the more they played, the better the explosion would be. Every muscle in Bryant\'s body flexed, while being fed from, and he wanted more than anything else, for David to put his soft lips all over his cock. He wondered if David would bother. After all, Bryant could tell David was a top.

To his immense surprise, David did exactly as the youth wanted. Suddenly Bryant\'s cock was in David\'s mouth. Bryant couldn\'t suppress a moan of pleasure, as David fucked his face. Deep throating was an understatement of David\'s skill, and left Bryant fighting the urge to blow. He slowly got into the rhythm of fucking David\'s sweet mouth. This calmed his upcoming climax, while letting Bryant take control. He couldn\'t stand it much longer. This was ecstasy.

There was a point where David contemplated simply finishing this way, because they reached the most beautiful rhythm, each with his cock being swallowed and eager mouths making the blood throb hard in both of them.  It would be very easy to do so.
 
It didn\'t feel right, though; whenever he brought a mortal up here to these rooms, it was to enjoy himself and... this wouldn\'t be true to that edict if he just finished.  It would be equal and he was both surprised and disturbed by his own willingness to submit so quickly to a mortal.  Bryant had obviously dazzled him with his eagerness and compliance, but he hastily decided that he needed to move away from appreciating that and back to what he knew.
 
Pulling his mouth free even as he reached up and held Bryant\'s hips in place (to avoid a thrust he wasn\'t expecting - didn\'t want to catch a fang in such a way, for it would put an immediate dampener on the rest of the evening), David stopped moving his own hips and pulled out of the mortal\'s delectably warm mouth with more than a little regret.  "I want to fuck you," he declared in a husky growl, and set about moving them both into a position he liked on the bed.
 
He had no lube, so some creativity would be required to avoid hurting the boy, therefore the blonde lay Bryant on his back.  Making eye contact with him, he leaned up on his elbow on the mortal\'s right side and drew his elegant wrist towards his mouth.  While maintaining the eye contact, he pierced the flesh there, sucking the blood that slowly welled, his mouth firmly clamped over the sensitive area.  Because the veins there were small and he was in no danger of Bryant passing out from blood loss, he lifted away briefly in order to give another instruction.
 
"Suck," he ordered, inserting the first two fingers from his right hand between Bryant\'s lips (his left hand was supporting the arm he was drinking from).  Once he felt they were wet enough, he pulled the fingers away and moved them down between Bryant\'s thighs, using other fingers to part his cheeks so he could insert them in the mortal\'s asshole.  In this way, he was preparing Bryant for his cock, trying to wet the tunnel and stretch it before he entered.  Needing more wetness, he would repeat this process many more times until he had Bryant writhing around his fingers (allowing the mortal to spit on them if he seemed to not want to suck on fingers that had been probing his ass).  The whole time he would suck on the boy\'s wrist, drinking while he fingered him and watched for the right time to follow through on his promise to fuck him.

Bryant was a dirty boy. The promise of being fucked was all to much for the poor boy. He\'d thought David had planned on finishing him via blow job, but now the mortal was getting what he wanted. He looked to the large cock that was about to penetrate him, and was glad David had thought of using spit. Since he\'d cleaned himself before going to Risk, he wasn\'t at all opposed to wetting David\'s fingers. He did his best to suck them sensuously; to send the metaphor of what David\'s cock would feel like once inside him. Bryant was ready. His hole was wet, and softened by spit and David\'s fingers.

"Fuck me!" Bryant said a little on the loud side. He only hoped David thought his need was sexy, and not corny.

The sucking on his fingers was more erotic than he\'d given credit for, and the craven act of finger-fucking the mortal in between him slurping at his fingers satisfied something gluttonous and domineering (nay, even ugly) within the pretty vampire.  He loved the way Bryant moved and moaned, the needy way he called to be fucked while his wrist was sucked at, trickles of blood escaping - only to be lapped back up - because the leonine blonde couldn\'t help but smile at what he was watching.

He bit his tongue and swiped it across the mortal\'s wrist, sealing the wound and dropping his arm negligently.  Positioning himself between Bryant\'s thighs, he grasped the heated, supple flesh of his hips and lifted, angling the boy so that he could slide into him.  Expecting to need to grasp himself and direct his cock into the waiting hole, David was surprised to find that it was unnecessary; he was as hard as sin and Bryant... Bryant just seemed to be perfect; the angle, the slickness, the wanton movements welcoming him seamlessly into that hot little hole.

With a grunt, David pressed into the accommodating flesh of his donor, pausing with his eyes closed and his head lolling back on his shoulders at the sheer wonderment of it. Tight... but so fucking hot... it was a feeling he worshipped, craved, could never get enough of.  Bryant\'s pulse reverberated through his fragile mortal body, his young heart hammering blood and hormones throughout his system and every single little flicker was communicated to the vampire through his greedy cock.  He throbbed in response, as if he could soak this delicious feeling of life and lust up through his dick, sucking it into him like a kid drinking through a straw.  Oh, how sweet it would be.

After a significant pause (from which he would not be roused, even if Bryant spoke), David\'s hips shifted and he slowly pulled back, savouring the feeling of flesh around flesh, his strokes steady and intense.  He pushed back in when he felt he was close to sliding out, going deeper, speeding up gradually.  Pulling back was faster again and this time when he thrust forward, he adjusted his grip on Bryant\'s waist and moved his right hand around to the boy\'s back, mostly cuppling his ass.  In this manner, he felt he had the mortal properly positioned and well anchored; he opened his eyes and looked intently down at him, his eyes golden in the subdued lighting, his lips drawn away from his gritted teeth slightly... the predator gazing upon his prey.

"You are tight and tasty, little rabbit.  I can still taste you," his tongue slid out to lick his lips ever so slightly, "and feel your every breath, your every pulse.  Come with me-" he entreated, his voice lilting upward as if he had grandiose places to describe journeying to, yet he didn\'t say another word and his eyes closed again.  It seemed he\'d invited Bryant to follow him into rhythm and pleasure, for all that he did then was pump in and out of the mortal\'s body, the pace becoming faster and even a little erratic once Bryant\'s breathing became ragged.

When he sensed they were both close, David dropped forward swiftly, looming over Bryant and pressing his hands upon his shoulders to pin his upper body down.  He bit into his throat, the blood roaring into his mouth in a hot, excited gush that made him grunt and growl animalistically. David\'s hips pistoned faster than ever, the release of blood washing over his senses and making him cum with the sweet intensity of it, his thighs wedged up against Bryant\'s ass to hold him exactly in place while he pumped away his waves of ebbing pleasure (biting his tongue fairly quickly after his climax, so as to not put Bryant\'s life in danger).

It probably would\'ve been nicer to use his hands on Bryant to help him cum but David didn\'t think it mattered; the fucking and sudden, hard feeding had him seeing stars, why would it be any different for his lover?

Bryant took a deep breath, as David slid his beautiful dick inside him. The first moment of getting penetrated always hurt, no matter how many times he got fucked. However, Bryant now had a resistance to the tension that followed, and took the pause as a way to release that tightness. Just as Bryant reached zero tension, and complete relaxation, David began to slowly pound away. Bryant\'s stomach muscles were clenched. Almost every muscle in his body was.

God that dick is thick, Bryant thought in those few first pokes.

He was getting used to it now. David had begun to rock that special spot, and Bryant resisted the urge to squirm and moan. He didn\'t take David for a dirty talker. Saynig something like, "Fuck me stud" didn\'t seem appropriate. Instead, Bryant simply closed his eyes, and cried out in pleasure in his mind. His breathing became deep from exertion and sweat trickled over his body. When he felt like he was being watched, he opened his eyes to see David\'s. They were looking intently down at Bryant. His own eyes, which changed color in various lighting, matched David\'s golden brown. As David fucked him, Bryant only thought off how beautiful this man was. He was perfect in Bryant\'s gaze.

When David called Bryant a little rabbit, he couldn\'t help but enjoy the submissive pet name. When David asked Bryant to go on a journey with him all the youth could say was,"okay." With that Bryant shut his eyes, and let the pleasure of David hitting his spot well up inside him. It started in his groin and began to spread to his lower torso and down into his legs; this feeling of pleasure and unpleasure. It intensified and consumed him. His own fully hard dick, flopped up and down on his stomach. He didn\'t need to masturbate to cum. Getting hit in his spot would accomplish that. He could tell David was getting close, which was good because he was getting close too. The neck bite was amazing. It was the final piece of the puzzle. Bryant could no longer suppress a moan of pure ecstasy. As David shot his load, Bryant did the same. Hot, white cum, shooting a great distance came erupting from his cock. Now he was completely covered. Bryant\'s panted breath was the only sound in the room.

David rolled off Bryant and lay beside him, enjoying the post-orgasmic bliss and the sound of the mortal breaths filling the room for a while... but soon it just became noise and irritating, so he got up and went into the small bathroom attached to the bedroom and used water and hand towels to clean himself up.

When he came back into the main room, he started picking up his clothes and pulling them on, not feeling the need to say anything now that they\'d both got what they wanted.  A satisfied smile danced around his bowed lips, showing how pleased he was.

Bryant lay peacefully like a little lamb. A deep set grin crossed his face, and his eyes were full of stars. David seemed different than all the others. Bryant resisted the urge to cuddle up next to him after the encounter. He wanted too, but felt he\'d come off preemptively clingy. So he laid there instead, and let his relaxed body and mind rest.

When David remerged from the bathroom and began searching for his clothes, Bryant grew a little concerned for the first time. He got up and quickly went to the attached bathroom and wiped himself clean as fast as possible. A proper shower would come later. He returned to the room and mimicked David\'s search for clothes. He tried to appear mildly disinterested in having further contact. However, his true intention was to see David again.

"So what are you going to do now," Bryant said. His tone was even.

David shrugged vaguely, concentrating on turning clothes in the right way - though he did push his hair out of his face long enough to flash a smile the mortal\'s way.

"Dunno\'.  Prolly\' go downstairs and see what action\'s left in the night?"  It was a vague answer, phrased as a question because he wasn\'t certain what he\'d do, but he didn\'t figure it would matter too much to Bryant.

They\'d had their fun and anyone as easily seduced as this guy had been knew the score.  No promises, no ties, nice and easy.  The blonde wasn\'t too worried about stepping on sensitive feelings.

Bryant\'s little mortal heart skipped a beat. He did his best to hide his disappointment. David was like all the others. To be fair, Bryant had basically jumped his bones with no problem or objections. Also, he didn\'t really know David, so there was no reason to be upset by his actions. Still, Bryant was ready to give up just yet. Maybe he could salvage something real out of this.

"Really?" he said. "Mind if I join you?" I\'ll just go home otherwise."

He hoped he sounded nonchalant. In reality, a tiny bit of his disappointment could be detected if David chose to look.

There was a minute pause as the vampire pulled on his pants, but then he resumed his action and straightened to get them done up, watching the mortal questioningly.  He could barely remember the guy\'s name and they\'d both finished what they\'d set out to do, and now he wanted to stick with him?  It could get very awkward... but it might also be amusing, he supposed.

"Sure, I guess," he shrugged, pulling his shirt back on.  "If you want."  His tone was flat, neither encouraging nor discouraging and he was watching the mortal with mild speculative curiosity, wondering if he\'d insist they hold hands as they walked downstairs.  Were they like... on a date now, or something?  A derisive smirk entered his golden eyes, even though he said nothing more, finishing geting ready and waiting for the rabbit to do the same so they could leave.

Bryant put on his shirt too. He did his best to conceal his excitement. All David would see was a slight smirk, but on the inside Bryant was practically screaming...


Yay, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!  


...and jumping up and down for joy. He fixed his sex hair quickly, and then turned to see if David was done getting dressed.

"Lead the way," Bryant said. With that, he would follow David out of the room and go wherever he went. He wouldn\'t try to hold hands, or even to make small talk. The mortal boy wanted to seem grown up, and let David know he didn\'t think he was his boyfriend or anything.

As he descended the stairs into the club again, the familiar, predatory want filled David once more.  He\'d just drunk and fucked his fill but when there was a smorgasbord in front of him, instinct rose to the challenge and his swagger reasserted itself, thumbs hooking into his jeans and his lidded gaze roving.

He led Bryant (in a manner of speaking) through the crowd, frankly meeting gazes, sizing mortals and other vampires up, getting a mixture of looks for his cocky staring.  Mostly they seemed affronted and he wasn\'t sure if they could pick he\'d freshly rolled out of bed with something warm, or not, but he ran a hand through his hair a few times in an attempt to tame it.

Since nothing jumped out at him as enticing or fun to play with at this stage and he didn\'t feel like dancing, the blonde more or less fell into a booth seat when he came upon a free one. His long body was slouched prettily, knees spread, right hand dangling down against his inner thigh and  left hand pressing into the base of the soft seat.  He\'d just about forgotten he had a puppy following him until he spied him again and he watched his actions with an arrogant smirk, his gaze mostly drawn to Bryant\'s crotch, now that he knew the details of what lay beneath those clothes.

"So... you a regular here?" he asked, raising his voice enough that the mortal would be able to hear him over the noise of the music (though it was an effort he doubted he\'d make for long).

David\'s looking around at all the other playthings of Risk, didn\'t go unnoticed by his "puppy." Bryant too looked at other vampires and mortals. He wasn\'t looking for another go. He had stamina, but David had taken a lot of blood, and even a veteran like Bryant could only take so much abuse. He was hoping to glance people staring at him. He liked the simple attention of having admirers. He and David were in that regard similar.

Bryant sat at the opposite end of David\'s booth. He slid in and sat against the wall section. One foot rested on the ground, while the other lay on the far end of the seat. He placed one arm on the table and the other rested on the cushy part of the chair. He looked towards the dance floor and then to David.

"I suppose I am," Bryant said evenly. "I like the atmosphere."

His soft attempt at humor might have gone unnoticed  by his vampire friend.

David gave a snort and looked Bryant over in a rather demaning manner.  "I think you like a bit more than the atmosphere," he smirked, wondering if he could get a rise out of the puppy.

"I guess I do," Bryant laughed. He liked getting called out on his bullshit. He shifted in the seat and faced front and then gave David a smile. At least the vampire had sense of humor. He was sure David would have another question for him. Bryant rested his head on his hand, with is elbow being on the table.

David\'s golden gaze roved over the mortal, taking in the pose and smiling a little more softly at the cuteness of it.  He was a hot little thing but the vampire couldn\'t understand why the fuck he was still hanging around.  Attention?  Could a guy that good looking really be that hard up for it?

"So wha\'d\'ya do in your real life, little bunny?  Work a nine-to-five job just waiting for night to fall so you can come here and get your fang on, or what?" he drawled, mockery dripping from the words.  It was evident that he had little respect and even less interest in the mortal hum-drum of existence, and was likely asking only so that he could make further fun of his lover.

Bryant could balk at jumping through these hoops at any moment, of course.  If he wanted.  It was a free country, right?
