Page 55 of Thicker than Blood

“And you’re fascinating. What a pair we make.”

I manage to take a slight step back. “I need to find Enyo.”

“He’s right behind you with Jagger between his legs sucking him off to completion. His moans are pretty, but not nearly as stunning as yours.”

“Do you only think about sex?”

“Not at all. I think about blood too. Sometimes money.”

A reluctant smile tugs at my lips. I would have to like the guy.

“Do you know what it is to be a vampire’s consort?”

“Like a lover?”

“No, mon cher. To be a consort is to be a bride. A permanent companion. To share a bed for all of eternity and be ravaged by your vampire’s love.”

“Bride? That’s… for women.”

“Yes, consort is more gender-neutral, isn’t it? Tonight, I want you to dream about me and what it would be like to be mine forever.”

“There’s no reason to do that. Besides, I can’t control my dreams.”

Elias smiles as though he knows something I don’t.

“Is Enyo done with Jagger?”

Elias looks beyond me and nods. “Yes. Somewhat devastated from the experience, but alive and well.”

I turn to see him splayed out in a chair, his dick still out while Jagger holds a bottle of water to his lips. Can relate.

“Um, well, thank you for…” I cringe. For fucking me to the edge of sanity? “For the experiment. It was helpful.”

“I’m at your service, Geordi. Call whenever you wish.”

“Okay.”

I hurry over to Enyo, who seems to be coming back down to earth. Jagger grins at me as he zips up Enyo’s jeans. He kisses Enyo’s cheek and whispers something that makes my friend smile.

“We need to go, En.”

He glances up at me with dazed eyes. “Dude. Vampires are legit.”

CHAPTER 16

Elias

After reluctantly allowing Geordi to leave, I call for Benicio.

“Sir?”

“A fresh shirt please.” I hand him the soiled one. “Hang this somewhere. I don’t want it laundered.”

Benicio raises an eyebrow and actually smirks. “How very interesting.”

“To me as well. Have you seen Lucius?”

“Do you not hear the ruckus his mortal makes?”
