Page 13 of Ouch! My Vampire Doms Don't Sparkle
I do as he asked, leaning against him for comfort.Being totally naked and not engaged in a sexual act is strange for me.Will runs his hand up and down my thigh, but his focus is on Xander.
“So, what’s up?Why are you sneaking in?”
“I wasn’t sneaking,” Xander says.“I live here too, dickhead.I need to talk to you and make you listen to sense.”
“If you’re here to tell me Autumn needs to go—”
“She does need to go, but I’m here about Gaius.”
Wow.He still hates me.Great.Here I’m sitting, nude, and Xander couldn’t care less.
Will’s voice is tired.“What about Gaius?”
“Gaius is going to want to see us,” Xander says, “and we should visit before he summons us.”
“Fuck him,” Will says, smoothing my hair back.
“We can’t afford to do that.”Xander shakes his head, frowning angrily at the wall.
“Who is Gaius?”I ask.Because heck, if they’re going to have these cryptic exchanges in front of me, then I’d like some information so I can at least follow along.
I expect Will to answer me, but it’s Xander.“He’s a powerful vampire.He and his frerte—”
“Frair-tay?”I ask, pronouncing it slowly.
“It’s like…brother, friend, partner,” Will says.“Xander is my frerte, and I’m his.If one of us was a woman, the woman would be a sorte.If one of us was nonbinary, we would make up our own term.Vampires exist at their most powerful in units of three.We call them triads.”
“Oh,” I say.“So you need another frerte or a sorte to be as powerful as Gaius?”
Xander shakes his head.“No, the third has to be an amant.A human consort, so to speak.”
Frair-tay.Sore-tay.Ah-mahnt.I repeat them in my head, slowing them down to remember.
“At any rate,” Xander says, “Gaius Black has power.He has vampires living under his so-called ‘protection’ who will do his bidding.If he wants to empty out San Esteban and drive us away, he can easily accomplish that.”
“I hate kissing his ass,” Will says.
“It’s necessary.”Xander’s voice is final.“I hate it, too.”
Will keeps running his hand over my leg.Soothing.Arousing.“He hasn’t asked us to meet.”
“Yet,” Xander says.
“Then we don’t need to do anything.”
I’m fascinated by this discussion, by the way Will keeps carefully touching me, the way Xander stares at Will’s hand on my leg, then quickly glances off to the side.My legs are together, swung over Will’s left leg.But slowly, on the next strokes of his hand over my thigh, he pulls them apart.
“Will,” I hiss.“Now’s not the time.”
“Your daddy says when it’s time.”He kisses my cheek.
“Um…” I start to say.
He chuckles.“The blond suits you, baby,” he says, taking a lock of my hair and running it through his fingers.He turns his attention back to Xander.“Don’t you think so?”
“I’d fuck her,” Xander says.“She looks like a sex toy.”
A thrill shoots through me.Xander is so rude, but it’s freaking working for me.I hate that, but I can’t control it.
