Feeding first thing each night was now quicker than it used to be. Although there was that craving, it wasn't all encompassing as it was for most feldglings, so Murphy could keep his head and get through the task swiftly. He was enjoying his time with the Sacramentum, learning what he could, trying to take on lessons even if his skills weren't quite up to it yet. And it was peaceful. There were humans around, but not too many and they were generally pretty calm and happy - not like out in the city where there was such and overwhelming constant roll of emotions.

That was partly why Murphy hadn't asked Jake to meet up again. The White Rabbit was a swirling mass of emotion which had almost been too much last time he'd been there. But there were other reasons too, which Murphy had been trying to work through. Knowing he would always remind Jake of Lazarus. Knowing about Jake and Ben's feud. And Jake had offered to teach him, but then he hadn't suggested meeting up either. They were so different, from different worlds. Jake was overly dramatic and Murphy didn't really know how to deal with that, hopefully tonight he wouldn't need to, not too much anyway. And whilst he enjoyed spending time with Jake, with everything going on, Murphy hadn't really missed him like he'd thought he would.

"Hey," the fledling said as he slid out of his car at the lake and spotted Jake. It was nice out here, Murphy could remember coming as a kid. If he'd had a chance to have his 'last day' in the sun, this would have been one of the spots he would have visited. He was dressed casually, in demin jeans and a dark green t-shirt with the name of a band scrawled across the front. He walked closer, but didn't descend the bank, watiing instead of Jake to come up since it would be awkward standing on a slope.

Ichabod got Win's response first, but waited until he also got Kerr's (knowing it would come quickly) before replying. He went for Kerr first, hoping that Kerr would be distracted by replying to him when Win received his response. There was something about Win being close to Ben and Kerr which made him wary. No, not close to Ben and Kerr. Ben. Especially if it was his brother suggesting Win stay close to them.

I thought it might be good for him to meet Murphy too. Must suck for both to have such a shit sire. I'm lucky to have you. x Ok, so Kerr hadn't been around much and Ichabod knew he'd been keeping his distance himself since his return, but it was confusing and Ichabod still hadn't worked out exactly where he stood in it all.

Now to Win - Ichabod wasn't happy about him living in such close quarters with Ben. Especially when it was Ben's suggestion. The brothers had come a long way, but Icabod knew Ben was capable of so much vindictiveness, holding grudges, taking out his frustrations on people who didn't always deserve it. And since he knew Win was Lazarus', would it make any difference to him if they hadn't seen each other for centuries?

Tomorrow night if you're busy tonight? Be careful with Ben. x

He didn't know what else to say. He didn't want to send a lengthy message about it, but he didn't trust Ben being all buddy-buddy and offering up a place to live to someone linked with Lazarus. He'd want something in return. Win was old enough to look after himself, but Ben... As much as Ichabod tried to get past it, there was a history there to put him on edge.

Ichabod had been working when the text arrived, in the middle of checking out the academy budget and running through reviews of the lecturers and attendance to see whether it was worth keeping up so many courses, or increasing the number of some of the classes for the more popular ones. He'd heard his phone buzz in his jacket pocket, but ignored it until he was finished with what he was working on. He'd only planned on being here for a couple of hours, and had been debating whether to text Win to see if he fancied meeting up, since he knew he'd blown him off a couple of times on busy nights.

He had intended on meeting up with the older vampire again - they'd had fun and Win had been so easy to get along with. He'd actually felt like he relaxed with him for the first time in months. They would need to step up the pace on finding someone to take over all this, someone who had more expereince who could probably get through it much faster (and to a better quality!).

He slid his wheeled chair to the hook his jacket was hung on and dug it out, a smile appearing on his lips when he saw it was from Kerr. That instantly faded again when he read it.

Fuck.

He'd meant to talk to Kerr about Win, to try to plan a time when Win could maybe meet Murphy, to ease Ben into it (although Ichabod knew he probably wouldn't be the best person to break it to his brother).

Kerr knew about them? What had Win told him? No, not just Kerr, Ben too. We. He pursed his lips, unsure of the reasoning behind Kerr's praise when he didn't know what Win had told them. He didn't sound annoyed that he hadn't told them though.

He re-wrote a response a couple of times before pressing send:

I was going to come talk to you about him. Is Ben ok? Where did you meet him? x

After pressing send he then moved on to text Win, not realising he was still with them.

I hear you met Kerr & Ben, hope it went alright. Sorry I've been so busy, want to meet up? You ok? x

"I think that saying werewolves in general aren't good at those things is a very sweeping statement. It would just be a case of finding the right one," Dom said, raising an eyebrow, slightly surprised that the previous Luminary would make such assumptions about a group of people who just happened to have the same curse.

"Since I was planning on going with Caden the first couple of times, perhaps I could scope out the monthly lock-ins to see whether anyone stands out. I can ask Caden to keep an eye out as well," Dom suggested and gave a soft smile at Kerr, "And if you're unable to find Tau, you know where I'll be," he added. Maybe he hadn't especially wanted to be leader previously, but if there was a spot and no one else suitable, he would step up.

"Oh, no, I can do," Ichabod said, feeling himself relax slightly as Win invited him up and giving a grin. "It's just a kind of... call the concierge instead of room service type of place. They'll give you a number when you check in so you can call down," he explained.

Ichabod handed over his phone and started driving as Win entered his contact details. Wouldn't it have been typical for Sam to have picked that moment to text? Thankfully that didn't occur and Ichabod gestured to the spot the phone fitted best in.

"It's a good thing there's not many roads out here, I don't come out here much, I wasn't really planning where I was going when I came out here," Ichabod said, following the only clear road, knowing it headed back to the city.

Dom watched Kerr steadily as the vampire explained Ben's plans so briefly. It was an interesting plan, getting the city back to where it had been - but not really. If Ben won, he would only be Leader of Central City. It would help all the species in this area of the city, but not all over the city.

Still, it would be better than nothing if it did come to pass.

"Should you be offering up those jobs? Isn't that Ben's responsibility?" Dom asked with a wry smile.

"It does sound like a good idea, there are so many species, they need proper representation. But... I was Oligarch for the werewolves. They should have their own. I just fell into it as there was no one else," Dom reminded Kerr with a shrug. He had wanted to help, and still did, but surely there had to be a werewolf in the city who would be in a better position to represent them.

Dom followed the receptionist's directions to the list and gently straightened the cuffs of his shirt whilst he waited for the smooth ride to take him upstairs. He wasn't sure what he expected to see when the doors opened, he hadn't been able to find out huge amounts about the new District Leader, but what he had heard he hadn't overly liked.

Still, that was all hearsay.

Dom stepped out of the lift, giving his host a polite smile in return and a nod of his head.

"That's right. District Leader Sarakiel?" Dom responded, reaching out to meet the Dark Angel's handshake with a firm grip (but not trying to squeeze hard enough to cause pain). His body temperature naturally ran a little higher than normal so it was a warm grasp.

"Congratulations on achieving your position, I understand it's relatively recent?" Dom asked after casting his grey eyes around the room to get his bearings before settling his gaze on the beautiful creature before him.

"Yeah, about a year ago," Ichabod said, smiling softly at the memory. James had received brilliant results in his exams, so Ichabod had treated him to a long weekend in the hotel. It had been last minute so he hadn't sorted out going anyway (since he hadn't travelled as a vampire really without Kerr organising it), but a night in a plush hotel making use of the facilities, the room service, the bed. It had been a brilliant weekend, over too soon.

And whilst not all of the staff were up on their supernatural beings, the receptionists and concierge knew how to treat their... special guests.

As Win dumped his bag in the boot Ichabod moved to the driver's side, sliding in gracefully. He tapped his fingers lightly against the steering wheel, then pulled out his phone again, lighting up the screen which showed a non-descript pattern which came on the phone's standard package. He'd removed James' picture from the screen when they'd broken up and hadn't replaced it with anything else. Kerr was the person who meant most to him, but having his photo on there felt like it would mean their relationship was something other than what it was.

"What's your number? Before I kick you out in front of the hotel and you disappear off into the night," Ichabod said in an obviously joking tone (although he was keen to get it before they parted ways and not wanting to forget). There was a part of him which wanted to suggest they go somewhere to feed together, maybe go dancing, maybe go back to the hotel afterwards... But he was also aware that they'd just been swimming in a lake so probably didn't look suitable for one of the vampire clubs.

Maybe just back to the hotel? Fuck. He wasn't about to invite himself back to Win's hotel either. It was weird how he hadn't thought about sex for months then suddenly after being asked out on one date he'd suddenly become so horny and up for it. And with practical strangers no less.

Reserved for Seragil

Dom was feeling a little bit of trepidation as he approached the office building, following his conversation with Kerr the previous night. Nothing he'd heard about the Dark Angel made him think this would be a pleasant discussion, but one which needed to happen.

And he had told Kerr he would go in with an open mind, so he would try - his animal side was wary though.

He had called up to make an appointment, although the person he spoke to seemed reluctant to get the time booked in, especially at such short notice. Last night he'd gone casual, since Kerr was no longer a leader of the city and more of a friend. Saraekiel, however, was a District Leader, and not just any - he was Dom's replacement. So the shifter wore a smart, dark grey suit, teamed with a dark blue shirt and tie which brought out a hint of colour in the grey of his eyes. Caden had burst out laughing when he'd seen him, since it had been so long since he'd seen Dom make an effort with his appearance, but he shut up quickly when Dom reminded him of the position he'd been in when Caden had come to live with him.

The dragon tattoo on his neck was just visible under his collar since his hair was too short to hide it at all, a sign of his previous position in the city. Before they had been ripped apart by location rather than offering proper support to those who needed it with the necessary knowledge behind that support.

Dom stepped out of the taxi, smoothing a hand over his suit to remove any potential wrinkles as he eyed up the impressive looking building. It had none of the classic architecture some of the older buildings in the city did, but it had clean lines and looked like it was built to be imposing.

Or maybe Dom just got that impression because he knew who worked inside.

His shoes clicked on stone outside as his tall form moved into the building and he pushed the door open effortlessly before approaching the reception desk.

"I have an appointment with District Leader Saraekiel. My name is Domink Lowe," Dom said, his voice low and rough. He stood up straight, one hand slipping into his trouser pocket in a relaxed pose.

Dom hadn't really expected Kerr to give as much information as he did, but he listened with interest. He didn't really know Kerr's fledglings, but knew of them. He gave a smirk as Kerr explained one of them was going for District Leader. Replace one vampire with another, but if Ben won at least Kerr might have a bit of say again.

"I guess I'll stick around for a bit, it's all go around here apparently," Dom said, before pressing his lips together gently. "I'm sorry your fledge was attached. It's a terrible feeling when you know that's happened and there's nothing you could do," he said softly.

"Running for election, I hope that's helping him get past the attack? With your help, of course?" he asked.

"Well, if money's no object..." Ichabod said, flicking through a couple of suggestions his phone had offered up, then slipping it back into his pocket, oblivious to Win's idea of reaching out for him, "I'd go for the Warwick, it's nice, really nice, and discreet. And you can use your boogedy-boo without too much suspicion I'd bet," Ichabod added, glancing sideways at Win with a teasing grin.

Of course, there was one which would be more suited to a vampire, but Ichabod knew the Warwick could (if in a slightly less swish manner than the Luminary) and there was no risk of his brother finding out he'd brought one of Lazarus' fledglings practically into his home without warning by staying there.

"This way," Ichabod added as they came to the clearing where he'd left his car. "Maybe once I perfect getting free stays in hotels, that's when I'll go travelling the world," he said with a grin, moving to the boot to open it in case Win wanted to put his rucksack inside. Money wasn't the issue, not by any means, but joking about it made him feel better about not just going for it. And it was a pretty impressive trick.

After admiring the view for a short while, Charlie became aware that he was missing out on something behind him and he turned around, leaning against the glass as he watched the display before him. The three of them entwined, the blonde pressed between the two dark-haired creatures. All of them, writhing together, grinding, stripping, putting more on display.

Charlie undid his pants, slipping a hand inside to fondle himself through his underwear. He knew he wouldn't be forgotten, so for now he was content to watch. Gabriel's hand roamed over Kerr's well-shaped back and Charlie chewed gently on his lower lip as he watched, wanting to reach out and touch as well, but for a moment it felt like it would be an intrusion on perfection. Gabriel met Kerr's mouth with a hunger Charlie could almost taste and he ran his tongue around his teeth as he remembered the feel of Kerr's tongue cool tongue stud against his hot mouth.

The mortal was hard when Kerr came to collect him, eyeing up Kerr's generous size with greedy eyes. At the same time, Gabriel was more than happy to have Ben to himself again. Their clothes were gone in next to no time, discarded to one side, then the other, tossed with careless abandon. His skin was flawless, still pliable, but firm at an initial touch. Gabriel gave a pleased murmur as Ben fell to his knees to take him into his mouth. Gabriel curled his fingers through Ben's hair, his green eyes rolling back in his head.

"What a wicked mouth you have," Gabriel purred, his hips moving rhythmically in time with Ben's head as his gaze drifted between Ben and the sight on the couch.

Charlie's breathing deepened as He lay back along Kerr and felt those cool lips on his throat. His head tilted to one side, ready to feel a bite which didn't occur. He reminded himself he needed to be patient though - Kerr's hands were giving him plenty else to think about. Charlie shimmied the rest of the way out of his pants, kicking them to one side. Once he was naked Charlie pressed himself back against Kerr, circling his fingers around Kerr's firm shaft, taking over from Kerr's own ministrations if he'd allow it.

"Fuck, you're huge," Charlie murmured, twisting his head, seeking out Kerr's mouth over his shoulder. "You want to taste me ?" the human offered, eager to feel Kerr bite, as well as feel him inside him.

"Come," Gabriel instructed, radiating pleasure as he urged Ben upwards once again, then stepping him backwards towards the couch. After all, he'd asked Kerr's opinion, it would be rude not to take him up on it. He sat down, tugging Ben on top of him into a straddling position. Ben's attentions had him hard and his erection pressed between them. Having enjoyed ingenuity of Kerr's little trick, Gabriel followed suit, letting one hand pull Ben close whilst he took control of the tube of lube to squeeze a few drops onto his fingers.

Gabriel slid his hand between them, seeking out Ben's member whilst his other moved behind him, kneading gently, working his way inwards, looking to spread his pert cheeks and find that sensitive hole to play with, moving slowly.

Ichabod tried to keep his eyes to himself as they made their way to their things, dried and dressed, but on feeling Win's gaze on him, Ichabod allowed himself a couple of glances. Now they were out of the water Ichabod could get a proper look at his companion and it was a very nice view. If he wasn't hungry and aware of all the things they needed to do before dawn, he would have been more than happy to continue where they had started.

He focused instead of thinking it was a relief Win had a towel with him as the trek back to the car, short as it was, wouldn't be comfortable in wet clothes.

Ichabod led the way back to the car, idly wondering on occasion what it might be like to be pressed up against one of the trees they were passing by Win and feel those lips on him again. It was best it wasn't a long walk, otherwise he could well have become too distracted, especially when Win came up beside him and their arms brushed together.

"So, uh, there's a few hotels around, I guess you haven't had a look into any yet?" Ichabod asked, trying to get himself to focus on something else and pulling his phone out of a pocket to look up some different options, happy to run through them as they walked.

"I'll have a think," Ichabod said with a chuckle, imagining Win choosing being a gypsy as a career choice. He didn't know him well enough to start offering him jobs at the Academy (and that was where Sam was anyway!!).

He felt a small spark of guilt thinking of Sam again, but pushed it to one side. They hadn't even had a date, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

"I'm going to need to feed again before long, we should probably head off. We need to find you somewhere too," Ichabod added a little disappointed that this (mostly) relaxing evening was coming to an end.

Charlie let out a small gasp of surprise as the door opened by itself as he reached for it, then glanced back over his shoulder at the dark haired vampire with a cheeky grin as he realised what Kerr had done and the look Kerr was giving him confirmed his suspicion was correct. He knew some vampires could do things like that, but he'd never really seen anything before. Seeing it was different. Being that close to it too. If Kerr could do that to a door, what else could he do?

"Thank you," Gabriel said politely as Kerr opened the door and he slid out gracefully. He would have offered Ben a hand, but there wasn't a huge amount of room in the carpark so Gabriel drifted out of the way, noticing the touch between the couple out of the corner of his eye, but not lingering on it. If he'd felt anything about that other than simply noticing, he would have quickly had been distracted by Ben's slim form pressing against him again and Gabriel went with it.

The concrete post was cool against his back as Gabriel leant against it, enjoying the feel of Ben's body now they could move with less restriction. He met Ben's kiss hungrily, aware that they were just tormenting themselves until they got upstairs. As they parted Gabriel's green eyes met Charlie's and he gave the human a playful wink before Kerr swooped on him.

Charlie made a sound which was a mix between a sigh and a moan as Kerr's body was finally touching his again, another not quite as much as he would have liked - not as much as he'd been imagining whilst watching Ben and Gabriel. The whisper in his ear sent a shiver through his body.

"Thank fuck," he breathed in response and as they began to walk Charlie let his hand drop to cup Kerr's ass, squeezing firmly. He couldn't wait to be used by all three of them and was only hoping he'd have enough stamina to keep up, especially if they did all drink from him.

Gabriel gave a soft chuckle at Kerr's question once they made it to the lift (having enjoyed the view of the mortal fondling the well-shaped ass before them as he held Ben's hand) and shook his head slightly.

"I believe there would be a coup if I tried to suggest we take a tour first. I would just need to check in," Gabriel said, taking the option he was sure all four of them would prefer. His smile grew as Kerr explained that he and Ben could get them into the room and check him in from there. "Even better," he said, glancing at Ben and running a hand through his hair, looking forward to being able to get a proper grip on him soon. It was obvious Ben and Kerr had downplayed their roles here previously, but Gabriel wasn't going to hold that against them. He wondered what it was they did do though - owners? Or the highest managers? Or simply workers who were very well connected.

Since his bags would have been dropped off earlier and would be delivered to his room by staff, there was nothing else in there way and before long the four were on their way to the 26th floor. Gabriel took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Ben from behind and press his growing arousal into the blonde's back as Kerr worked the keycard to let them in. He began gently untucking Ben's shirt, and undoing the first couple of buttons from behind, unwilling to let anything get in the way or delay them further.

Even though it was Gabriel's suite, once Kerr had opened the door Charlie headed inside, his dark eyes widening at the sight.

"My God, this must cost a bomb!" Charlie said, spinning around to get a full view of the living area then heading to the window to admire the view, forgetting for a moment why they were there and just basking in luxury he'd never experienced before.

"You see this view?!" he called to the others, pressing his hands against the cold glass, his hot breath fogging up a small patch as he leant closer to see properly.

"I will see it later," Gabriel responded once he and Ben were inside, shutting the door firmly behind them. "I feel like as host I should offer you refreshment, but you clearly know this place better than I, and you brought your own," he said, releasing his grasp on Ben to gesture towards Charlie, although right now feeding was not high on his list of priorities.

"Where would you recommend we start?" he asked, aiming the question at either Ben or Kerr - this was there experiment, their trial, it was up to them where they would be comfortable to commence. Fucking on a sofa, all four in the bed, or bent over a table so Charlie could enjoy the view at the same time, Gabriel really didn't mind where they started.
