A Polite Night
« on: March 29, 2019, 02:25:44 AM »
Dr. James Barrow didn’t normally go out to bars. They could be so crowded and lacked such taste. He’d heard of a vampire bar that promised to be better than the rebels of the White Rabbit, and had decided that he would attempt to be social, without his dark passenger taking control of the wheel. Nope. Jimmy would stay locked up tonight. James could handle it. He could be an environment with men, booze, other Kindred, and more without succumbing to his more primal self. He was sophisticated, educated, illuminated and posh, and he’d be damned if the mongrel he shared a brain with would dictate appropriate social behavior.

He was waived in fairly quick. It seemed there was a shortage of vampires per the number of humans tonight so he had an advantage as far as numbers went. He’d also dressed for the occasion! He wore khakis pants that showed off his bum quite well, with polished brown shoes, a teal colored, pull over sweater with a dress shirt and tie underneath. His cream colored overcoat was removed and placed in coat check. His large, black framed glasses and pewter ring completed the look. He thought he looked rather handsome. He didn’t care others might say he looked stuffy. To him, he looked like a proper gentleman. Surely the boys of this establishment wanted something more refined than the average vampire, and Dr. James Barrow was here to fulfill that need.

While some might find his approach snobbish, he felt it was dignified. Let the less cultured and educated defecate on him. That was their problem. He found a table that was unoccupied and sat, posture perfect. His confidence started to waver as no young gentleman approached him. It was then he wished he had alcohol. No! That was Jimmy talking. James didn’t drink. Dr. Barrow tried to block out the impulses of his lesser self. He would not be made a fool of again! With his urge to drink properly repressed, he looked around the room, hoping to find a nice young man to talk with, and perhaps if they really hit it off, he’d even feed.

Deep within his psyche, Jimmy pulled at the mental chains holding him in. The good doctor couldn’t hold him back for long, especially if he wasn’t getting any attention. Barrow was an attention whore whether he admitted it or not and Jimmy would pull and tug and prod until he was free.

It had been a long, long time since Cain had frequented a vampire club. He used to be a regular. He used to be an Oligarch donor. He used to offer his body as well as his blood. He used to be Kerr Galvin's favourite. He used to have a vampire boyfriend. But then he'd been dumped for some other guy when the relationship was still blossoming and Kerr died, and he'd somehow survived all that and got his life under control.

But he missed it, he missed the bite. Ben had called him and drank from him and they'd spoken about Kerr but there was something really awkward about it and Ben hadn't called again. That was a year ago.

He missed it. It was as simple as that. He missed the bite. He was wary of approaching vampires that knew him from his past. He'd changed so much - he was no longer willing to do anything with anyone. No longer the party boy who kept himself clean so he could get high on the bite. He was still clean but he'd abstained from sex, if only to see if he could. The world hadn't fallen apart, pigs hadn't flown, and everything continued as normal. Initially he'd used his hand every day, but then the urges passed and he felt like he had control. All of that control would go with the bite, of course, but if he found someone to drink from him who would respect him as Kerr had, as Ben had ...as David had (and how remembering that name hurt his heart), then all would be good.

Wearing Docs, black jeans and a silky black button-down with maroon trimmings, he looked a lot more dressed up than he used to. He couldn't resist lining his eyes with black kohl, and it brought out and drew attention to the uneven blue of them - one light, one medium. His mismatched eyes were the most attractive thing about him, he thought, but being a bricklayer had done wonders for the muscle definition in his body, and he was no longer sixteen and looking for trouble. He was twenty, and looking for someone to treat him well.

It was the reason why the doctor drew his eye. He was dressed differently, sitting with good posture, eyeing the clientele but not approaching them or being approached. Cain was very good at spotting the vamps and he was fairly sure that the professor-looking type was one of the nightwalkers. Cain stared at him a little longer but didn't delay too long in case someone else got in first. He moved to the table where the professor sat and gave him his best smile.

"Hi, I'm Cain. Are you waiting for someone or may I join you?" he asked, not bothering to raise his voice over the music. The professor would hear him.

Dr. Barrow had been in his own world for a moment when Cain approached him. He’d been considering what would happen if he failed to attract any attention tonight, and almost all the hypotheticals ended with Jimmy once again needing to drive. However, that was all for naught for a good looking chap had sauntered up and introduced himself! Well, wasn’t he a fine looking fellow, his long hair, and different colored eyes intriguing the good doctor. He pointed to the seat across from him, and opened up into a reserved but friendly smile. He feared coming off too excitable you see, or perhaps he wanted an air of mystery about him? Even he wasn’t sure what his motivations were these days.

“I wasn’t waiting for anyone, no,” his posh British dialect sounded out of place. He was undeniably English, from his dress to his voice, and even in Ventrue he seemed to stick out. His green eyes were magnified behind his glasses, and while Cain wouldn’t be sure if it was just the glare on the lenses, or something else, but for a moment they seemed to glow, before returning to normal. He tried to not do what he normally would do, which would be to size up the person across from him, but instead, blanked out his mind. He wanted this to go well.

“James,” he said, feeling funny only giving his first name. He normally led with his credentials but he’d found recently that boys didn’t like that. Nobody wanted to talk with an egg head these days. “What brings you to Ventrue tonight, Cain?”

Dr. Barrow found that saying someone’s name right after learning was a good way to cement it in the mind. Jimmy snickered underneath the conscious mind.

You’re going to blow it, Barrow.
He’s too good for you.
Hope you don’t stutter.
Just let me take care of him. We both know I’m why we get to feed at night…


Even with the anti-cheer leading coming from his dark passenger, Dr. Barrow’s face remained neutral and calm. He waited patiently for Cain’s response, and to learn more about his potential meal.

Cain took the seat opposite, sad that he wasn't invited to sit beside but also relieved that the professor-type was obviously interested in speaking to him first. He wouldn't have minded some contact but that could still come, if he said and did the right things according to the man in front of him. The accent was super sexy and the name sounded very British to go along with it. Cain hoped that James wasn't a tourist and actually lived here now. He would prefer to offer his neck to someone who would want to make a habit of it, rather than someone who was just passing through.

The question was direct and demanded a direct response. Cain struggled to provide it, but there was no other way to answer. "You," he said, then his expression jumped through a few different emotions; embarrassment, frustration (with himself), cheekiness, curiosity and finally landing on hopefulness. "The bite," he expanded. "I figure you want to ask me questions or talk to me first," he guessed, because he was sitting here across from James. "You have a lot of choice tonight," he said, glancing out at the club proper but not really looking because he only had eyes for James. "Not all of them will approach, but I bet all of them would say yes to you."

Especially when they hear that amazing accent.

Dr. Barrow's eyes widened at first, surprised by the directness of the reply. He wasn't aware that coming to be fed upon was the chief motive of the humans in attendance, but a quick reflection made him realize that such a thing was obvious. Jimmy snickered underneath the conscious mind. Barrow was so oblivious. James reached a hand across the table, hoping Cain would take it. He smiled as the humans' face went through it's myriad of changes, liking the cheeky moment the best. James hoped this nice boy, Cain, was a local and not passing through town. He was hoping to find a regular squeeze who appreciated that he wasn't some Lestat bad boy wanna be. He was a nice man, looking to treat a human nicely, no matter what Jimmy had planned.

As he looked at the long haired, two-color eyed human, absorbing his beauty, he saw not Cain's face but Ben Samson! This person knew Mr. Samson! The sight had decided to drop that image for a reason, but he dared not ask him about it. It wasn't why either of them were here. He blinked and Ben was gone. Cain once again looked at him hopefully. As Cain discussed Dr. Barrow's apparent choices in food, he looked around to see that both humans and vampires were staring at the pair of them. The other blood suckers in the room seemed as interested in Cain as the humans were interested in him. He decided Cain should know this.

"Then I consider myself lucky the best choice is already sitting across from me," he complimented, letting his British dialect do the heavy lifting needed in flirting. "You seem in high demand yourself."

James was flirting with him though, and leaned forward in his seat. He suddenly wished the boy was sitting closer to him as opposed to across from him, but decided it would be too early to make that correction. Perhaps if their hands began playing with one another, he'd guide him over to the seat next to him. Cain assumed the vampire had questions, and truthfully as a psychologist, Dr. Barrow had plenty. He thought what he should ask in order to cement his decision to feed and landed on his first inquiry.

"I assume based on how you addressed me just now that you've been fed from before," he stated, not so much a question as a statement. "What's your experience with men like me?"

He removed his glasses, but his eyes still seemed to almost shimmer. Large green pools stared at Cain, analyzing and waiting for an answer.

Cain's smile grew at the compliment and he mirrored James, leaning forward and reaching out to grasp the vampire's cool hand. His thumb caressed the doctor's wrist but he wasn't feeling for a pulse. It was a sensitive spot that Cain liked having touched himself so he did it for others that he liked.

He nodded to confirm he'd been drunk from before, then gave a bashful smile when asked about his experience. He decided to downplay it, but stayed with his usual honesty. "Men like you are much like people in general. Most are nice but a few can be more demanding."

More demanding was a nice way to put it. 'Downright assholes' would've been more correct, but he didn't want to be negative with his newfound friend.

"You don't need those glasses, do you?" he asked, his attention drawn to the spectacles once James had taken them off his face. Weren't vampires supposed to have superior vision?

James took Cain's hand once offered. It felt warm and strong, some form of physical labor in his past. He liked these hands, and ran the tip of his index finger down the center of Cain's palm. James was relieved the boy wasn't a first timer, as that always led to several minutes of explaining things. The word demanding sounded carefully chosen, and Cain might notice the good doctor's eyebrow raise in curiosity at the statement. He assumed it meant nothing good. How could it? He understood the sentiment though. In general he felt the same about people.

Only when Cain mentioned his glasses did James seem to realize he'd taken them off, and nervously returned them to their perch. He cleared his throat for no apparent reason.

"To see? No. I don't need them for that." The statement felt leading, and Cain only waited for a second before James added. "But they remind me who I am."

He smiled, feeling such a statement would make perfect sense. "Why did you approach me, and don't say the accent."

He smiled expediently, this question being an important one.

Cain wondered if the lenses on the glasses were flat or if James had kept the prescription, too. Did that mean he could see farther and at a magnified level? At the answer he studied James' face curiously, trying to guess why he would need reminding. Cain didn't want reminding of his past self... he wanted to be a better person, and moving forward and changing was how he could do that.

"Um, you're gorgeous and you don't fit in here." Cain's eyes widened when he realised that could sound insulting so he hurriedly explained. "All the humans look like they're into some label or other; like emo or punk or goth or hipster, to attract a certain type of vamp, I guess. The vamps are either freshly minted or too old to relate. You seem like you're in the middle, but you're also dressed up nicely. You give off a kind of 'professor' vibe and I..."

Cain paused, startled. He'd been about to admit he had sexual fantasies about corrupting or being corrupted by college professors. That would be too much too fast, sharing that sort of thing.

"I like it," he finished. "A bit shallow, I guess. Except I thought you'd be the type to want to get to know me before having me. It makes it less... sleazy."

Americans were so candid and complementary. It always made James skittish to be flattered, and he smiled coyly and guided Cain to sit next to him with their locked hands. He'd wrap him up, and let their thighs touch. He was a nice guy though, and if he got the sense Cain didn't want this intimate style of touch he could pull away easily. It felt good to be near him, and the hunger began to creep into the front of James eyes. A beast felt trapped, unable to rise as long as James felt so confident. Well, no matter. Cain would meet Jimmy eventually. The beast was sure of that.

He also liked how perceptive Cain seemed to be. His assessment of the room seemed about right, and it made him like the growing attraction between the two of them more. They were different. He liked that. Cain was hot, smart, and knew what he wanted. That was all James needed to know to want his neck. He wouldn't take him back just yet though. He was enjoying the flirt.

"I don't think you're shallow," Barrow said, his tone of voice getting deeper. He looked Cain in the eyes, and saw an image of him in a classroom. Cain had stayed after class, and James was going to show him something special. He was different than the other students. Vision James took off his jacket and tie, and Cain's hands were now under his shirt. Well, well well.

Cain's fantasy made James want to tell him he'd taught at Oxford, but bragging was so low class, and it would come up in time. The comment about sleaze confused the Malkavian. Was sleaze always bad? Would he mind it if it was with the same person? "Well, you're right that I like getting to know you. You're sexy and lovely..."

And oh so tasty, Jimmy added.

Cain shifted out of his booth seat and slid in beside James at the gentle urging. He could feel the cold, hard press of his body against his. It was enough to quicken his breathing slightly and cause a twitch in his pants. He took a quick, deep breath to calm himself down and offered another cheeky smile to the vampire before biting his lower lip at the contact. They stared at one another and Cain felt like James was staring into his soul - maybe reading his mind, who knew? If so, he would find Cain an open book. He said what he thought and felt and he didn't keep secrets.

"Thanks," Cain said at being called sexy and lovely. Such words usually came just before a bite, or just after. Compliments were nice and he wouldn't knock any back. He was pretty sure that James would take him into one of the glass rooms directly across the booth or if he didn't like the idea of a two-way mirror where they could see out but nobody could see in, he might take him to the private booths downstairs, near the lounge. Cain would go anywhere with him - he was already hooked. "Have you seen the Qamar Art Gallery?" Cain asked. "I live near there. A lot of people who live in the city haven't even seen it. Do you um, live in the city? And have you seen it?"

If the answer to both questions was yes, then James wouldn't have trouble finding Cain's place either.

James was hooked too, perhaps a little too hooked. He heard Cain's question as if it were asked through a pool of water. All he could focus on was his pulsing neck vain. The vampire took his glasses off again, and undid the top button of his shirt. Cold bodied or not, it was getting hot in here. He told himself he was still totally in control. He was just relaxing into this nice young human, with his tough looking hands and strong body. Cain's warm flesh made the vampire begin to stiffen, and he wrapped his arms around Cain's muscular frame. He would've fed right here if it was allowed. He wanted this boy badly.

"I know it well," he replied, lips inches from Cain's. He could feel his breath. He saw himself piercing Cain's neck and he imagined the hot, metallic taste of his blood. He smiled, showing the two pointy things that would soon penetrate the human. What would he think of them, James wondered.

The question about whether or not he lived in the city sobered him up a bit, and he suddenly seemed to relax, less intense than just a few moments prior. So Cain wanted to know if he lived in the city. Did that mean he hoped to see him again already? They hadn't even done the deed. "I live in the North part of town. I have a loft there. If you and I have a good rest of the night, why don't we go there sometime?"

He realized he was unclear, and nervously added, "to the art gallery I mean." He didn't want Cain to think he was inviting him back already.

It was risky to ask a feed on a date, but Cain seemed very attracted to him, and the best part was he was being himself. He wasn't talking about work. He wasn't needing drugs to be social. This kid was special. Once he got an answer to this question, he assumed he'd want to be bitten, and honestly James couldn't wait much longer with how he was feeling.

Cain was pleased that James was a resident and not a tourist. He felt better about offering his neck, knowing it might lead to something more. He would probably have offered his neck anyway, but it wouldn't have come with the excitement of maybe developing a relationship of some kind. The 'what if' added to the positive tension between them.

"The gallery as a first date, the loft as a second," Cain joked, his eyes shining with mischief, then realised he was being too forward again, assuming too much. "Um," he broke eye contact, looking down at their touching hands. "When you, I mean, if you want to drink from me, I'm the type to get... excited," he explained. Might as well give this guy a heads up. He would know that there were two main reactions, and now he knew that Cain had the erotic one.

"I hope that doesn't put you off," Cain said guilelessly, really wanting James to be into him. He'd promised himself that he wouldn't go all the way during the bite - that he would pre-warn the vamp he was with not to consider his reaction consent - but he didn't want to put the brakes on this before it even got going. Whatever happened next would happen. He would go with the flow. Just like the old days.

James was happy to accept both dates, but Jimmy wanted a taste first. He wanted several tastes in fact; lips, neck, blood, and even something much farther south from the mouth or neck. They weren't quite there yet, but Jimmy's eyes flashed again and he saw a future image. They were naked, rolling around on a bed. A wicked smile crossed the doctor's face, and he even let Cain see the image. What reaction would the human have to seeing a tiny panel of his potential outcome. Something had changed in the man. He was cooler, less fidgety and seemingly more confident. His tie was removed and his sweater came next, leaving only a slightly unbuttoned dress shirt. The glasses were seemingly forgotten.

"I'd love to take you to both," a slightly less posh accent said. It was still English but more London downtown than Buckingham palace. When he explained the reaction that he got when being fed from, Jimmy's devilish grin reached his eyes. This boy was perfect. It didn't put him off at all. In fact, it only made him want his neck ore.

"Don't worry love," he said, moving his hand down Cain's check. "I'm no prude. I'm, what's the bloody term for it these days, sex positive." He hoped that would put Cain at ease. He wanted him to like this as much as he did. It was more fun that way.

"Shall we go find a booth? I'd love to keep talking afterwords if you would like to."

Cain didn't think they'd be talking much. The window booths upstairs were closest and would show them a view of the dancefloor while they did whatever they did.

He found the dropped accent curious but suspected it had to do with education - he'd come across it before. The original accent tended to come back in moments of passion; when angry, when upset... when having sex. It was intensely erotic how James had heated up, dropping the polite façade and his voice deepening to a rumble. Cain liked being touched and James was touching him a lot more.

"Yeah," Cain agreed, slipping out of the bench seat but retaining the hold on James' hand. He led the vampire past floor to ceiling mirrors and into the room that they hid. Once inside, he pressed the button on the wall that would close and lock the sliding mirrored door, and within the space was a long corner couch with deep cushions. Cain turned to face James, the lights from the nightclub flickering over both of their faces as the two-way glass let it in - though Cain could no longer hear the music, just the thump of its bass. The quick pace of the beat matched his heart as he stood, undecided how to progress them. He was a little taller than the vampire and very suddenly his perspective shifted, like a snap of the fingers. No longer a professor, James seemed more like a prefect at a private school because of his youthful looks, shorter stature, well-spoken and the outfit.

Cain had a couple of fantasies about that type as well - not as many as the college professor though - but he had an inkling that those fantasies might start compounding. Especially since he'd received that quick mental image of them in the middle of sex before. He wasn't sure if he'd thought it or if it had been given to him - either way, he'd liked it.

Throwback to Bloodlines. Listen to this.

Cain may have been only to hear the thumping base, but Jimmy's heightened senses allowed him to softly, although clearly, hear the fast paced and grungy beat. It made him want to dance up on Cain, but they had other priorities first. He loved the way they glowed in the blues, reds and purples of their environment. Cain was currently framed in the brightest blue, coming from a moving  spotlight, while the good doctor was bathed in red. He liked that he was a tad shorter. Dominance had nothing to do with physicality when you were a vampire. It was about the mind. Who controlled the conversation? Who had others to serve them? Who had mortals worshiping at the alter of their dicks? He pitted vampires who always felt the need to look more powerful than their prey. If any random mortal saw them on the street they'd likely assume Cain was courting Jimmy, not the other way around. He was a wolf in sensible, although cute, clothing.

He moved in and closed what little distance existed between their bodies, his eyes still looking deeply into Cain's. Then he closed his and went in to kiss the lad. He figured it was cool. His aura was practically screaming, bite me. But Jimmy wanted to taste his lips first. You learned a lot about someone by how they kissed you. Cain's lips were full, sweet tasting, and quickly gave way to accommodate Jimmy's mouth and tongue. The heat from his mouth and breath excited Jimmy even more, and he finished unbuttoning his shirt. He took Cain's hands and ran them down his smooth, trim torso, ending just above his belt. He wondered if Cain would go to undo it. He wouldn't make him though. It was more fun if it was his choice to be naughty.

Oh there would be much more kissing in the future. Cain was so good at it, and the boy's hunger seemed to rival his own. He contained it better, but there was a beast within this polite young man, a pit of want and desire almost as deep as his own. Jimmy would have so much fun drawing out this human's beast. But first, the bite. Once he had kissed his plenty, and ran his hands all over Cain's impressive physique, he moved his kissing to the neck. There were so many arteries other than the one in the neck. The femoral artery was near the prostate, and if Cain liked a sexual feed there was no better. For now though he'd settle with the neck. Maybe later in the night he'd have this boy's legs wrapped around his shoulders and then he could pass on that delight. He did want to please his companion. That was clear. He wasn't some normal, fresh off the bus from Iowa boy, he'd feed from and discard. James really liked him, and Jimmy loved destroying the things that brought James joy.

He bit down, and noticed that the pair's kissing had caused Cain to sweat a bit. He liked the salty, watery preview for the delicious and fantastic meal. The taste, other than hot and metallic, was top quality. How was this kid not already a prime pet for someone? Another image dropped into his mind of a man he didn't know. He considered he might've seen him at the trial. He was Irish and had a tongue stud and was currently dancing a fox trot with a muscular drag-queen. The word favorite echoed in Jimmy's mind as he sucked. Sometimes the sight made no fucking sense. He pushed Cain's body up against the mirror, and lifted up his shirt so their torsos could touch. Jimmy's bulge would be felt by Cain, and as he sucked more and more sustenance, he grinded against the lad, feeling the multiple pleasures of feeding and sexual acts. Once he had taken enough so that he could potentially feed from Cain again later, he bit his tongue and licked the wound closed. He was a neat and tidy beast.

Now they stood, bodies connected, bulges pulsing on one another, and Jimmy held Cain's muscular frame in his arms, his hand meeting around the small of his back. He'd come out of the feeding trance soon, and he'd find his partner holding him and waiting for him. He wanted him to feel respected, and not like the trash he feared he was. Wait, was that a vision or a guess? Jimmy smiled at the uncertainty.

The kiss brought forth a passion from deep inside him. He was hungry for attention, starved for physical pleasure. His kiss was a demanding, living thing and he battled with James and sought to discover the full feel and taste of his mouth.

Cold hands on his chest brought a shiver rippling down his spine. It wasn't quite like a block of ice running down his chest (followed by a hot mouth, lapping up the icy water) but it was close enough that the association stuck. His muscles tensed, revealing a well-toned body. As James touched him, one of Cain's hands settled on the vampire's shoulder where his thumb could stroke James' collarbone and the other on the side of his face, following the line of his jaw and then swiping into his neat hair, messing it up. He closed his hand and tugged on the hair, testing if James' liked that sort of thing. His focus shifted when James' hands ended up at his belt - a fabric number that was more fashion than practical.

It seemed to him that James wanted it undone, so Cain's hands obediantly went to undo it. Cain wanted the vampire's cool hand on his stiffening rod though, he could feel it straining against his pants. His underwear was as silky as his shirt and Cain shoved his jeans open once the fly was done, adjusting himself so that his erection was available for whatever James saw fit to do with it.

He was breathing hard now, and flustered. With James on his neck now, Cain groaned, anticipating the wonderful sensations that came with the bite. And then they enveloped him and he turned into the sighing, pleading mess he usually was; grinding and touching and groping and rubbing, begging to be fingered, begging to be fucked. He lost his mind in the bite and usually came to his senses in the middle of sex, but that had been okay for him in the past because he'd wanted it.

He'd wanted it now, too, but it ended differently. He calmed down. His erection faded along with the high. Being held against the window with James pressed against him keeping him in place was nice, but also a little embarrasing. He had the impression that he shouldn't apologise though, because even though he didn't remember everything he'd grabbed, stroked or caressed, he was pretty sure James had been into it.

"Wild," he said, though he'd ended up in wilder situations. The abstinance had made this moment all the more sweeter.

Jimmy liked how Cain fought through the kiss, the biting, grabbing passion, excited him, and he gave back every bit of what Cain gave. Some might've called the kiss sloppy, but Jimmy knew better. They were exploring limits, and so far he found none in this pretty little surprise. The move with his hair got a groan of pleasure, and for the tinniest second submission. Jimmy wanted Cain to throw him to his knees, but that would come after the feed. His hair was now messy, and he liked it better than the sanitary fuckery that James wore.

When Cain undid his pants, Jimmy stuck his hand inside the underwear inspecting the rod and liking what he felt. It only made him want to flip with Cain more, and as he led up to the bite, he stroked it gently, not enough to overexcite, but enough to add to the overall pleasure at work. When he bit he released it so they could grind properly. Cain's sudden transformation to greedy sub was almost pornogrpahic, and Jimmy fought the urge to give into Cain's demands. He was playing the long game, and hoped to be fucking him in a few minutes anyway. Once they were all back, Jimmy smiled savagely at the tasty little morsel in front of him.

Wild

He laughed at that, grabbing Cain's hand and putting it back in his hair. He moved in and grabbed his semi stiff self, and began the slow stroking again. His free hand pinched Cain's left nipple.

"If you think that's wild just wait until we fuck each other," he teased, voice breathy and right on the boy's ear. He licked it for good measure. He wondered what Cain would do with that clump of hair. His free hand started to take his own shirt off. "Let's flip," he suggested, wondering if Cain tossed or only caught.

Jimmy's answer was apparent when Cain gripped his hair and turned his head to capture Jimmy's mouth, pressing a hard, demanding kiss on it. He straddle walked Jimmy backwards, using his chest and guiding him to the couch, where he used the momentum to make the vampire fall back on it, with Cain on top. He moved off him a little, only to get Jimmy's shirt off, barely sensible enough to make sure the buttons stayed intact. His groin was throbbing, pulsing with need.

Cain ran his fingernails down Jimmy's bare chest now his shirt was on the floor and he wanted to feel skin on skin, hurriedly unbuttoning his shirt and flinging it aside. Next he focussed on the fly of Jimmy's pants, working studiously at them, wanting them both naked and writhing on the couch. With a quick glance to the side table, he saw the small packets of lube in the candy dish, where they always were, like an open invitation to fuck in the rooms.

This club might pretend it was high-brow, but it still knew what it was really for.

James had been thinking a similar thought to Cain's about the propped up veneer of civility created by the ambiance. The mirrored sex booths were one clear cut example. Yet, here they were; naked, about to be screwing, having just shared a feed. Jimmy snickered as Cain through him onto the couch. James was going to be so mad when they next rose from day sleep. He had ended up being a bad boy after all. His weaker half couldn't ever resist. In the end he always gave way to the tidal wave of sin that was Jimmy.

Now with Cain in position, and now that they were both naked, Jimmy was ready to let loose. Cain pulled off his pants, and then took off his own. Jimmy sat up and grabbed Cain's head, guiding it down south and placing it right at his tip. This was a good place to start.

"Suck me," he commanded, a newfound masculinity and almost working class sound to his speech. He would guide Cain onto him, and then slowly begin to thrust, letting Cain do most of the work for this bit. He'd make it up to him on the back end, literally.

Cain eagerly did as told, returning to his place of good-vampire-pet. It was so easy to slip into these shallow waters. He was comfortable in the role, he didn't need a lot, he was desired, he was first choice and he wouldn't get his heart broken. Cain pushed the idea of relationships out of his head, expecting not to have expectations. It was the simplest way.

His mouth stayed at the tip, lips moving forward and backward over only the head, holding back from going all the way down because he knew it would feel so much better when he finally deep-throated. A few times as he worked the tip, his tongue slid out and curled a path up the underside, and then when he sensed his head might get shoved down, he started lowering himself, engulfing the thickened length at a sinfully slow pace until he was at the base. He stayed there for a while, breathing through his nose whenever he changed angle, making that palate-sucking sound that only the best blows made... then he slicked a path back up, all the way to the tip, and did it all over again. Eventually he just bobbed up and down, figuring either James wanted to blow his load into Cain's mouth or he would stop him before it got to that point and shove his dick somewhere else.

Cain wanted as much as James was willing to give him. He'd take it all.

God this kid had skill. The Malk bit his lip and let his moans and facial reactions let Cain know how good he was. Jimmy would’ve finished with Cain’s lips and throat enveloping him, but much like Cain desired, Jimmy wanted more of the man. He sat up straight again, and gently guided Cain off his dick by the chin, fingers drawing his face towards Jimmy’s to kiss. As his lips moved in tandem with Cain’s, his fingers began wiggling at the entrance to his hole. The kissing continued, including Jimmy sticking two of his fingers in Cain’s mouth, letting those sucking skills get them nice and wet. His free hand grabbed one of the lube packets. Once he had spit and the slippery liquid coating his fingers, he slid them in, finding the soft difference in flesh that let him know he’d found Cain’s spot. He now understood why the human had begged him to finger him during feeding. As he tickled, applied pressure, and opened his partner, his rod twitched with anticipation. Cain was free to do what he liked with it, and he hoped that the boy’s hungry energy would help him take a little charge.

Once he felt Cain was properly opened, he switched their positions on the couch, roughly throwing Cain onto his back and grabbing his legs, hoisting them in the air. He had one more treat before the main event and moved his head down between the man’s legs. His tongue danced around the sensitive spot, and he quickly adapted the in and out motion of a professional tonguing. Cain would see something Jimmy didn’t intend. An even more boyish version of him was in a cheap and dirty room. An older man cried out in a pathetic tone of ecstasy as young James performed this very technique. He’d been thinking about the moment, but the link between them established earlier was still open. Jimmy started his life as a whore, and now Cain knew it. Deep inside James screamed at this fact being shared. He was ashamed of it.

He paid some lip service to the boy’s meat, liking the way it felt in his oral cavity He intentionally didn’t show him the full extent of what he could do with his mouth and throat. He had to give the boy something to look forward to. Once he’d had his fill of pleasing the mortal he placed his erection right at the entrance to Cain’s chamber.

“Tell me what you want,” he commanded, the clear answer being moments away from happening. He liked to hear the boys ask for it though, even beg him for it. Would Cain beg like a good boy? If not Jimmy would have to teach him how. He also lamented that James had made him leave his coke at home. Cain would taste amazing with one or two bumps in his bloodstream.

In the heat of the moment, the image was confusing. He was pretty sure he wouldn't fantasise about James using his amazing tongue on someone else. The level of detail was intense as well as the emotions that went with it. It was enough to break him out of his fugue of pleasure and he frowned before the image went away and he gradually became lost in pleasure once again. James was incredibly generous with his attentions; as much experience as Cain had with vampires and the bite, very few cared enough to pleasure him in such a way. Maybe a third of them would blow him, the other third would only use their hands to get him off, the rest didn't even bother pretending they cared about his experience, they just wanted him to enhance theirs. That had been okay, too, because he was their inferior, but he would no longer actively pursue it. Well... not after tonight, anyway. But he wasn't with someone that was selfish this time, so that made it alright. Didn't it?

The question faded into a place of uncaring when he was kissed and flipped over. He groaned and wriggled as he was prepped, grabbing the cushions of the sofa and squeezing them hard as James played him like music. The order came and Cain gave his answer.

"I want your dick deep inside. I want you to plunge it in now, right now. Don't make me wait," he said, his voice soft and pleading. "Make me cry and scream your name. Fuck me good and hard. Give it... give it to me... give it," he whispered, writhing and trying to impale himself, until James gave in and finally gave it to him.

Cain begged so well. Jimmy liked hearing the pleading, needy, little monster laid out before him. He let him go on and on, the wait not being longer than a minute, but for Cain the vampire guessed it felt like an eternity. Only when the boy was backing up onto him, some ill attempt at impaling himself, did Jimmy finally say, “Well, if you insist.”

He let a glob of spit fall from his lips and onto his member, using his free hand to spread it out. Cain was still wet from tongue and lubed fingers and so Jimmy didn’t reach for a new packet. Besides, he wanted that first moment to hurt a little. What joy was there in pleasure if one didn’t suffer a little first? He drove himself in, feeling Cain’s walls give way. He moaned in glorious exhale as he fully inserted himself. He resisted the urge to go straight to a merciless tempo and cum. It was what Cain wanted, but he’d have to work for that too. Nothing in life was free.

He began to get a good rhythm going, an almost mechanical set of thrusts, aiming slightly up. He grabbed Cain’s legs to better support the human’s body as he thrust into it., and started to speed up, his partner’s moans, pleas and jittery reactions to the fucking all the incentive he needed to increase his pace. The inside of this boy felt amazing and Jimmy already had day dreams of fucking Cain well into the future. He hadn’t come here to top tonight. In reality, he’d been more of a receptive partner in recent years. However, for Cain, he would be anything the boy wanted. The more he was pleased, the more grateful he’d be. The more grateful he was, the more he would trust him later.

He finally reached the merciless tempo Cain had requested, and he was impressed that Cain could take such a repeated beating. He wasn’t often allowed to fuck as hard as he was currently, and as Cain screamed, called out his name, and whimpered Jimmy felt an odd sense of peace he usually only got from hard drugs. The human had to be in that threshold between pain and pleasure, and Jimmy liked he couldn’t tell exactly how much was which. The profesional fucking machine looked down at his partner, the vampire’s smooth body being the resting place for the human’s thick thighs. He caught Cain’s eyes, and the human might finally see that this was not the kind hearted doctor he’d met at the beginning of the night. This man was a hungry, manipulative beast, and he’d eat Cain alive till he was hollow. Perhaps the human would see nothing of the sort. Jimmy was amazed what he could get away with in the throes of passion. He finished, warning Cain, but not pulling out even if the other requested it. He’d pretend not to hear if that was the case. After all, it wasn’t like he could get him pregnant so what did it matter?

Cain hadn’t finished yet, and Jimmy had an idea. “When I tell you, rub yourself till you finish. Trust me.” With that, Jimmy pulled himself out and moved down to Cain’s leg. The boy’s pulse was wild, the beating drum music to Jimmy’s ears. He kissed the spot so near the groin and uttered, “go,” before biting down. He didn’t even need the blood, but there would be no way that Cain wouldn’t finish now, and it may even be the best orgasm of his life if he’d never finished this way before. Once he had taken a small amount more of the human’s blood, he sealed the wound. Now, naked, wet, and momentarily satisfied, Jimmy sat on the ground near where he’d just bit. He said nothing. He didn’t need to. He knew it was good.

A slave to both their desires, Cain mumbled his agreement and placed his hand upon his throbbing member. It took a strong sense of willpower not to start straight away. He could feel semen leaking out of him while he waiting for James to do whatever it was he was going to do - he was definitely crawling downward.

James gave the order and Cain started stroking. All thoughts flew out of his head when his thigh was bitten. He'd experienced it before and it had to be one of his favourite things. James was certainly skilled when it came to sex and biting and Cain wondered if that meant he'd be a fling or something more. Maybe he would be someone's favourite again. It hadn't worked out with Kerr. It hadn't worked out with David. Both of them had someone else in their lives. Maybe James was free.

The idea of having something more was enough to bring him to his shuddering peak, spurting onto his stomach and his body wracked with spasms. "Jaaaames," he sighed, his free hand weakly clawing at the couch, looking for something more substantial, more meaningful to hold.[color]

Once they had both spilled their seed, Jimmy plopped onto the couch next to Cain. The mortal's warm body would feel nice after all that. physical activity. At first, he reached for his pants to fish for a pack of smokes, but then he froze. The next thing Cain would see is that he looked around the room for his glasses instead. The good doctor appeared very nervous and looked at Cain with a mixture of guilt and appreciation. They were now in a cuddle formation, with James's legs wrapped up in the humans. He moved Cain's arm around his shoulder, and laid the human's head on his other one. He seemed different again, more like when they'd first met.

"Terribly sorry," the posh accent said. "I don't know what came over me. Sometimes i just lose myself in those kinds of things. Do you know what that's like to lose yourself to something that feels so good?"

James played with Cain's hair and smiled at the mortal. He hoped Cain would still want to go to the gallery with him. Sometimes boys seemed put off with how he could be sexually. Deep down Jimmy snickered. He'd got a new toy, and it was obvious James liked him too. This was going to be so much fun.

Cain held James while being held himself, liking that the vampire was staying with him for a while. He could feel his heart pounding, gradually slowing down. His skin was hot and clammy from the exertion and the orgasms and James was a treat to hold. Not so cold... more room temperature. Cain's blood had done the trick.

He laughed softly at the question posed to him. Was it supposed to be ironic or rhetorical? He answered it anyway. "I have an idea."

He liked the feel of James' fingers running through his hair and brought his breathing under control. Soon after his heart slowed and it was nice just to lie here. He stared at James' face, committing it to memory as well as he could. The lights continued to dance over his face, gradually cycling through a rainbow of colour. Cain liked the blue on him best.

He moved to place kisses on James' lips, feeling happy.

James liked the sweet kisses offered by Cain, and gave them back just as sweetly. He could be physical too, although less rough than his dark passenger. He took it as a good sign that Cain wanted more of him. So many boys were just done with the vampire once the feed and fuck was over. This generation of human was by far the worst, so Cain was a rare treat. The word favorite rung once more in his ears, and he felt it connect to Cain in general. He didn't understand the auditory hallucination not making sense. Was this one of the bullshit ones? Was this a clue not to let Cain be someone else's favorite? He had more questions than answers, but the vampire felt he'd get an opportunity to answer them if he kept seeing the sexy man.

Cain's body felt so warm and he wanted the feeling to continue. Still, moderation and limits kept him James, and so he knew he wouldn't be bringing Cain home, not tonight at least. The lights bathed Cain in red, and for some reason that felt correct. Something about his aura screamed crimson, and while he didn't understand it yet, he felt it was an important clue. This time the sight had been clear. It was funny how it was never predictable. He pulled away only to grab a small hand towel next to the lube packets. He cleaned himself before wiping Cain down, and then neatly folded the dirty rag and placed it back where he'd found it. After that sat and kissed  for a few minutes, James decided to be bold.

"Can I take you to the gallery this week? I want to see you again," he disclosed, nervous for the human's reaction. "I'm looking for a steady thing," he added, smiling at Cain to let him know it was him the vampire was looking to fill that role.

The invitation caused his heart to swell and his spirits to soar. It took the sting off the fact he'd gone back to old habits as soon as someone gave him a sideways sexy look. He'd chosen a vampire with more discretion though, rather than going to the first available one. Or maybe he was kidding himself because James had been the first available one. Cain would've gone up to him whether he was being discerning or not. What did that mean, then? He'd just got lucky? In a different sense?

"I'd love that," Cain said, the delay between question and answer not even a second long. Thoughts and feelings took no time at all. He'd interjected his answer between James' request and his confession. He was looking for a steady thing? "I'd love that, too."

How eager he sounded. Inside he quailed at the idea that James would think he was too keen. They were supposed to get to know one another. If Cain agreed to everything - to the date, to the steady thing - then it would sound like any vampire could fill that role. It was kind of true... Cain wanted a vampire boyfriend after all, but he would no longer be treated badly for it. He felt a little better about himself.

"Should I put my number in your phone?" he asked, not brave enough to ask to swap numbers but hopeful that James would offer. It was that hope that made Cain reach for his pants that had ended up on the floor and fish out his cell.

James smiled and kissed Cain mid answer, excited that his request for a date would be accepted. He wasn't sure if his nervousness was actually his or Cain's, as they had just finished connecting in body, and had been connecting in mind for most of the night. He'd see what exhibits the gallery was currently hosting. It was nice to have an actual date, and the potential for a steady thing. Then they could go to his place to feed and have more sex. James could tell this pattern of thought would end up with them inside each other again. Cain sobered him up when he asked if he could put his number in James's phone.

"Oh, of course," he said, reaching for his pants to fish out his phone. He grabbed the cigarettes too, but then thought it would be impolite to smoke in such a small room. He'd save them for when he stepped outside. He handed his phone to Cain, and while the human typed in his digits the vampire pulled a business card from his wallet.

Humane Solutions
Dr. James Barrow, PhD.

A phone number was at the bottom, along with an address in the North District. "I never remember my number, but that's my cell right there," he said pointing to the card. "Call or text me if you feel like talking, and it doesn't have to wait till we go to the gallery."

He had to go to the Academy tomorrow night to meet with Mr. Samson and discuss his duties as a teacher and counselor, so the visit would have to wait at least a night or two. He wondered if he should tell Cain he'd be teaching there, but that would require the doctor to tell him he'd seen Ben's face when he first looked at the boy. He wasn't ready to tell Cain about his... abilities.

Cain took the card and made sure to insert it into his wallet, filling up the slot beneath his credit card. A few loyalty cards filled some of the other spaces but that was all. Cain realised his wallet showed he didn't get out much. He didn't even like art galleries or museums; it seemed weird to look at dead things or a bunch of paintings all at once. But he liked the Qamar because it was different and had no sense of order. Turning a corner in that place could lead you looking at anything.

"Thank you," he said, feeling suddenly awkward and shy. He hastily got dressed and waited for James to be presentable. Once the vampire was also dressed, he headed for the button that would unlock and open the glass door. Before hitting it, he glanced back and gave James a wide smile. "See you," he said, then hurried away before he said or did something to ruin the moment.

James loved art galleries, and was excited Cain would go with him. He dressed, taking far longer than his human companion. He decided his hair was beyond saving, but tried to tame it some. Once Cain hit the button and said goodbye, James grabbed his hand and pulled him in for one final kiss. It was a passionate one, a form of goodbye but also see you soon. When the lad was gone, James grabbed his things and left the room. It was near morning, and the good doctor left happy and full. He had concerns about how he'd gotten during sex. Surely he'd been in control the whole time right? Those were his choices, not the beast that lived within him. He convinced himself that was true, and the sight didn't offer him any help at the moment.

Underneath Jimmy was gleeful. Taking over was getting easier now that Dr. Barrow had lost Daniel again. Without him, Jimmy would win the day and destroy his weaker half. The best part was that he'd use Cain to do it.
Be a sadist. Now matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
