Page 25 of Loved to Death

Taking one more glance around, Thomas walked up behind the manager, slipped a hand over his mouth, and sank his sharp teeth into the man’s neck. The blood hit his throat, and the usual bliss washed over him, but unlike every other time he’d fed from a human, the bliss didn’t keep growing with every swallow, it just buzzed around in the back of his head. By the time he’d drained the manager, he was a bit woozy. He swayed on his feet but eventually got his bearings.

Looking down at body number one hundred and sixty-five, Thomas frowned. He’d never had the blood of two full humans in one night, and he suddenly knew why Polly had never let him. With strength and virility currently rippling through him, he could probably overpower Polly physically.Or my mind is playing tricks on me. Feeding every night might make me feel stronger but still leave me at her mercy.

Snapping out of his thoughts, he scanned the area again to make sure no one had seen him. Once he was certain he was alone, he stuffed the manager’s body into the linen closet, wiped his face on one of the sheets, and then firmly closed the door on his crime and his guilt.

With a newfound confidence, he strode back to his room. When he opened the door, Shen’s muscles twitched, and his head jerked up to see who was entering, but his arms and legs stayed where Thomas had put them.

“What a good boy,” Thomas cooed. “I’m so proud of you.” He shut the door behind him, shucked his underwear off his hips, and climbed onto the foot of the bed between Shen’s open legs. “Where were we?” he muttered before leaning down until his lips were almost touching Shen’s dick. He took a deep breath and waited just a moment to ensure his sharp teeth didn’t descend, before grinning. “Oh, that’s right, I wasn’t quite here yet.”

He moved his head down to Shen’s upper thigh, causing the human to whimper.

“Whimpering doesn’t count as telling me if you like it or not,” Thomas commented. Then he opened his mouth wide and started harshly sucking on Shen’s upper thigh. Shen gasped and the muscles under his skin twitched and strained.

“You’re warmer,” Shen mumbled. “Or maybe I’m colder from being naked.”

Thomas could practically taste the blood pooling under the skin where he was sucking, and yet the urge to feed never came.

“I’m desperate for you to touch my cock,” Shen continued, “so I was disappointed when I thought you were going to touch it, and then you moved to my thigh. The sucking doesn’t exactly hurt, but I…I don’t really like it, either.”

Thomas continued his ministrations while trailing his fingers from Shen’s knee to his groin and then cupping Shen’s balls.

“Oh! Yes, that…that’s good. Thank you.”

Thomas lifted his head and looked down at the red mark he’d left on Shen’s thigh. “Mine,” he said softly before leaning up and sliding his lips down over Shen’s straining cock.

Shen started talking in his native language with English words of encouragement interspersed here and there. He writhed and panted while Thomas’ mouth went all the way down to the base of Shen’s member.

Not needing to breathe was definitely a perk when engaging in this particular activity, and his gag reflex was apparently dulled. Thomas took full advantage of his new ability, only moving a few centimeters up before going back down again. It took less than a minute for Shen’s member to pulse as he cried out in ecstasy.

Thomas swallowed it all, and after a few seconds let Shen’s dick slide out of his mouth. He kissed the side of Shen’s hip and said, “Good boy. You did a wonderful job of staying still. You can move your arms and legs now.”

Shen moved his arms down to Thomas’ shoulders and leaned up to look him in the eyes. “Thank you. That was amazing. The best I’ve ever had. Your turn?”

Smiling Thomas said, “Yes, you can return the favor”—he moved to stand on the floor by the foot of the bed, and pointed to the floor in front of him—“on your knees.”

Shen grinned as he moved into position.

Chapter Ten

Shen lay in Thomas’ arms under the covers, basking in contentment. He never dreamed a moment like this could happen to him, but here he was having a cuddle with his lover and he couldn’t keep the smile off his face.

“Thank you.” The words slipped out of Shen’s mouth seemingly of their own accord, disturbing the silence.

“For?” Thomas asked.

Shen tried to put it into words and failed. “Everything.”

Thomas chuckled. “Everything? I’m not sure I can take credit foreverything.”

Picking his head up off Thomas’ chest to make eye contact, Shen said, “For everything that happened tonight. The room. The orders. The…intimacy.”

“I think I’m the one who should be thanking you for tonight.” Thomas put a hand on the side of Shen’s face and rubbed his thumb over his cheek. “It was perfect.Youwere perfect.”

Shen snuggled back down, using Thomas’ chest as a pillow. “I never knew it could be like this. In the alley, it’s all about being quick and quiet so we don’t get caught.”

“That could be appealing once or twice, but I prefer taking my time.”

“That’s why tonight was amazing. I’ve been going there for three years now, and not one of the men I met up with suggested a room.”
