Excerpt
STORY EXCERPT
Standing in the alley behind the Manacle,
Isla was surrounded by the heat of the balmy summer night. The moon
shone brightly, not a cloud to obstruct its view. A slight breeze rolled
down the alley as he slammed the human into the red brick of the
building. The man's dark-green eyes glittered with excitement as he
thrust his chest out, defiance marking his features.
“You play a dangerous game.” Isla slid a
lone finger down the side of the human's face. The man swallowed roughly
as doubt began to creep into his eyes.
“Maybe I like danger.” The human quivered
beneath Isla's hands. He could scent the human's quickly beating heart,
his fear, the rush of adrenaline coursing through him like a thousand
lightning strikes.
Isla gave the man a tight smile, keeping
his fangs hidden. “The danger you've flirted with before is nothing
compared to what I can unleash on you.” He slowly canted his head to the
side and inhaled deep drafts of blood just beneath the skin. His mouth
watered for a taste.
“Or,” Isla continued, “You have a death
wish.” He tightened his hand around the human's throat and squeeze. The
grip wasn't meant to cause pain. It was meant to heighten the human's
excitement. For some perverse reason, he liked heightening this
stranger's pleasure with the roughness of his hands. “You've been
watching me for far too long. What is your fascination with me?”
Something scurried inside the Dumpster not
ten feet away. A dog barked in the distance. The sound of traffic at
the far end of the alley reached Isla's ears. He knew the answer to his
question without the human saying a word.
Vampires were built to attract their prey.
Their aura drew the unsuspecting in, snared them in a trance, made them
offer themselves willingly. Isla liked sex just as much as anyone else.
It was an act he thoroughly enjoyed. Nevertheless, none penetrated the
thick walls he'd erected around himself centuries ago. He never let
anyone in or anyone close. But this particular one drew Isla in and that
disturbed him.
His thumb caressed the human's jaw as he
gazed into the man's dark-green eyes. He tried to probe the human's
mind, but Isla could only manage to grab glimpses and snatches of
thoughts.
That was…rare.
“I–I don't know what you're talking
about.” The human's throat moved up and down in a deep swallow under
Isla's hand. “I was just checking out the people on the dance floor.”
Isla pressed his face against the
stranger's and inhaled the man's scent along his cheek and temple before
he exhaled on a long breath. “Such a useless lie. Don't test my
patience or intelligence, boy.”
The human squirmed under Isla's grip, as
if testing to see how secure Isla's hold was. Isla tightened his grip.
“Now, tell me the truth.”
The stranger's shoulders slumped and his
gaze slid to the side. “I don't know.” He shrugged. “I can't explain the
strange interest.”
Isla relaxed his hand slightly. He'd
noticed this man's attention months ago, but the stranger had always
disappeared before Isla questioned him. His prey was trapped now and the
excitement that the human felt projected onto Isla, making his heart
beat just as fast.
It had been too long since Isla anxiously
anticipated drinking from a vein, too long since the person under his
spell made his cock rigid. But this human wasn't under his spell. Isla
had used no charms to get the guy out here.
It was the stranger who had lured Isla from the club and out into the alley.
“What is your name?” Isla pressed his body
closer. The human was shorter than Isla and much thinner. He could snap
the man's neck with little effort. But killing the human was not
something Isla wanted to do.
Fucking. Now that held great possibilities.
“Sean.” The scent of fear dissipated and
was replaced by raw, hard lust. The aroma was spicy and clung to the air
in erotic waves. Isla's cock grew harder.
He slid his hand between them and gripped
Sean's groin, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Is it sex that you want?”
Isla pressed his lips to the man's throat but forced himself not to
bite, not to drink the intoxicating blend just under the skin.
Sean's back arched as a low groan escaped
him. He thrust his hips forward as he turned his neck, giving Isla ample
room to play. Isla became fascinated with Sean's response, with the
sounds the human made. Sean's breathing was shallow and as soft as the
breeze that blew past them. The human was obscenely beautiful and Isla
found it hard to think, to breath. He wanted to see Sean shatter as he
climaxed.
Sean shook his head and thrust his hips
backward, away from Isla's touch, as if fighting against what he wanted.
He pressed his delicate hands into Isla's chest but didn’t push him
away. “No, that's not what I came out here for.”
Isla gripped the strands of short brown
hair. He yanked Sean's head back and drew in close enough that their
lips almost touched. “Another lie?”
“Not a lie,” Sean protested and Isla could
hear the truth in the man's voice. The human squirmed slightly as he
looked up and down the alley. “That wasn't my intention.”
There should have been a “but” after that
but Sean never said it. This creature was very intriguing to Isla. He
wanted to know more about the man. “Are you sure?”
“Well, yeah. I mean—I know when I want to have sex. Don't you?” Sean blinked several times at him.
Isla smiled. Sean's words were spoken so innocently that he nearly chuckled. “Yes, I know when I want something I see.”
ADULT EXCERPT
Isla stepped into the tub and sank below
the water. He came up and brushed his hands over his hair to clear the
water away. Sean was still kneeling there, watching Isla with what
looked like fascination. Isla leaned back against the opposite end of
the tub and spread his legs welcomingly. Sean eagerly positioned himself
between Isla's thighs and let out a pleased sigh as he settled there.
His pert ass pressed against Isla's cock like a perpetual tease.
Isla adjusted both Sean and himself so
that his hard cock slid between the man's butt cheeks. Sean groaned and
his head tipped back against Isla's shoulder. Isla had a perfect view of
Sean's pale chest and groin then. Sean's lovely cock broke through the
water's surface. The swollen head was wet with more than just bathwater.
A wash of pre-cum slicked the slit as well.
“Do you know how beautiful you are to me?”
Isla whispered into Sean's ear. He dipped his fingers into the water
and lightly trailed them across Sean's broad, muscled shoulders. He
lapped up the droplets of water with his tongue. Salt and musk burst on
his taste buds.
Sean reached back. His right arm wound around Isla's neck and gripped his hair possessively.
“You have such a sweet body and I can't
wait to sink inside of you,” Isla groaned before he turned Sean around
to face him. There was no lubricant in the bathroom. That was an
oversight he would have to fix for their next encounter. Isla cast
around looking to find something slick to use. There was a bottle of
lotion on the side of the tub. He grabbed it and flipped open the top.
The scent of sandalwood floated out of it.
He thickly coated the fingers of his right
hand with the creamy stuff. Sean watched him, his breathing becoming
heavier and more frantic. Isla knew that sometimes just the anticipation
was enough to get someone off. He dipped his slicked hand beneath the
water and moved it around to Sean's buttocks. He knew that he would not
have a lot of time before the lotion washed away, so he would have to
use it liberally and stretch Sean as well as he could.
Sean's eyelids fluttered shut and an almost amazed expression crossed his face. “Fuck. You're touching me.”
Isla's fingers played with Sean's opening.
Sean reached for and gripped Isla's shoulders. His fingers dug into
Isla's muscles. Sean's proud cock jutted towards Isla's chest. Isla
leaned down and licked a single stripe across the head of Sean's cock.
The man's essence burst on his taste buds. He shuddered and let out a
moan.
“I love when you sound like that,” Sean breathed.
Isla's fingers quested upward. He pushed
against the tight muscle that guarded Sean's passage. It would relent to
his pressure. It would let him in. Sean breathed in deeply and Isla
knew he was forcing himself to relax. It worked. Isla's index finger
popped through the outer ring of muscle and he stroked the softness of
Sean's inner passage. Sean's whole body shivered in response.
Sean's cock turned a deeper shade of rose
as Isla's finger moved deeper inside him. He pushed his index finger in
and then pulled it out before pushing back in again, deeper and deeper
with each thrust.
Isla squeezed more lotion onto his fingers
before he was once more at Sean's opening. He would not give the muscle
a chance to close up on him again. This time he plunged two fingers
inside. Sean let out a shuddering sigh and his shoulders tensed. There
was always a little pain, but then there would be pleasure. So much
pleasure soon.
Isla felt his own arousal burn too bright.
He knew that if he continued with this for too much longer that he
would come before being slid himself into Sean's body.
As he drew those two fingers out of Sean,
Isla pulled them apart, scissoring the tight passage. His cock was much
wider than two or even three fingers. He had to make sure that Sean was
stretched, but he truly didn't know how long either of them could last.
He sank three fingers Sean. His lover's
head flopped back and Sean moaned low in his throat. Sweat appeared on
his upper lip. Isla thrust in deeper and did not give Sean as much time
to recover with each inward push. But Sean seemed to love the slight
roughness. His hips moved down to meet every one of Isla's inward
thrusts. All the while, Sean's cock curled higher. A bead of pearlescent
pre-cum clung to the tip. Isla slid his thumb over the opening and
licked the slickness form his finger. Sean cried out and gripped the
base of his cock in a death hold.
“I almost just came,” Sean got out through gritted teeth.
“We can't have that. Not yet. Not until I'm inside of you.”
Isla moved Sean's hand out of the way and
used his own free hand to form a cock ring around the base of Sean's
shaft. He squeezed rhythmically. While he did this, he continued to
thrust in and out of Sean's ass. His tongue and teeth though needed
something to do.
Sean's pretty pink nipples were right
there in front of him. They were already peaked and luscious. Isla
fastened onto the right one. He dragged his teeth along the sensitive
areola. Sean let out a cry and his whole body trembled. But Sean
couldn't come even as his cock strained to do so. Isla had control of
his organ. He sucked long and hard on the tight little nub of Sean's
nipple while he bore down on Sean's cock.
Sean whimpered. “Oh, God! I need– I need–I need something!”
Isla drew off of the right nipple. He teased the left one with his tongue. “You need my cock in you. That's what you need.”
Three fingers were now easily moving in
and out of Sean's body. Isla slicked his cock with the lotion before he
eased Sean's hips down. He positioned the tip of his member right at
Sean's opening.
“Lower yourself down onto me, Sean. Open yourself fully to me,” Isla demanded.
