Children Of The Night
By: Veronica Leigh Marquette
CHAPTER 9
The rest of the drive was quiet. No one said anything, just sat and rode,
keeping their worries and fears close to their minds and hearts. As for Bobby,
he didn't understand what all the fuss was about. He knew only enough, now,
that he could grasp the fact that there were so many, upset, and they were upset
with him. He didn't know what he had done wrong. His new master hadn't told
him, and as he sat there, looking out the window, he was beginning, as lost as
he was, to be afraid. He knew all too well what his master could do to him, if
he thought he had done something wrong. The scabs from the welts on his chest,
back and genitals were proof of what one could do to another if they failed to
be good. "Master, please, tell this one what did he do to upset you?"
Alex moaned, turning his head into Mitch's chest. "Ssshh, it's okay, he's
just lost, you were like that just a few months ago. It's okay Alex, you came
through it just fine and so will Bob." Mitch understood why Jessy had to do
what he had to do. What he didn't understand, was why Bobby would push him into
forcing the issue with him.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Baby, I'm not mad at you. I won't hurt you.
It has just been one of those hard nights. So why don't you just sit back and
take a nap. Soon enough I'll have you home. But for now, I need to track down
another two or three." *And this time, I am going to have to make sure that
they aren't gender biased. My two girls would shoot me if I bring home more
men, and they didn't get a chance to play with them. * He thought to Kris
glancing over at her. She looked like hell. *Come on ladylove don't be like
this. Not with the way he is right now, he won't understand that you aren't
upset with him, remember how Precious was the second time around? *
*I know, I really am trying to keep my shit together. But he looks so bad.
I have never seen Bobby look this bad before, not even when Alex was in the
hospital after his car wreck. And he is dying. I don't have to ask from what.
How bad is it? *
*Don't worry about that my girl, yes he's positive now, but by the time I
put him to bed at dawn, he won't be any more. All I can think is after Alex
called him, he lost his way, and started not caring what happened to him.
Because he was negative just some months ago back when I took Precious as mine,
either, that or my boy is the luckiest person alive. *
*Oh, Bobby was negative, trust me. He stayed on all our backs about the use
of condoms and sticking to one partner. Me he didn't have to worry about, I
wasn't sleeping around with anyone, but Becky, Melissa, Diane, and Erin plus his
day shift girls, and he was always on them about the necessity of condoms in
sex. * She looked back to where Bobby rested against the door, napping as Jessy
had suggested for him to do. *That collar of his has got to go. I have gotten
accustomed to the ones you have on all of them, that marks them as ours, but
leather isn't pretty at all. *
*I have nine more at home, after my round with Jake, I made sure that I had
extra's. So just as soon as I collect the rest, and get them home, that is the
first thing I am going to do. Then I will step out tomorrow night and track
down the asshole that put him in the shape he is in, and beat the shit out of
him. *
*But if the man doesn't know he's positive, I can't see anyone doing that to
another person, knowingly seeing that they were dying too. *
She didn't want to think about Bobby being sick, but still, if it wasn't the
guys' fault, why hurt him.
*It's not his HIV status that I'm going to beat him for. You are just very
young, you can't see into their hearts, minds and souls as well as I can yet.
But just you wait, the moment you see what kind of shape he is in, you'll
probably want to kill the son of a bitch yourself. And don't worry about
Precious, I'll see Bobby healed before my boy has a chance to see him naked. *
Kris just looked at him, in disbelief. What had her old friend done, bad
enough that he, had lost his way, as Jessy had called it, but to let someone
hurt him, really hurt him. No, Alex didn't need to see him before Jessy took
care of all the traces of damage on his body.
* * *
They pulled up into a parking lot, the bar was just across the empty street.
"Okay, love, you are going to have to slip in there and see if you can talk one
or two into coming home with you. I would, but all I would end up getting is
either another handful of girls, or boys that would do my girls no good at all."
"So, I'm to go trolling for what? Some jackass that thinks I'm a slut, or
one like you who only is in it for the money?"
'Male prostitutes', Jessy hadn't even thought about them. "Never mind,
honey, I know a better place to go look. One where no one will wonder if you
get a boy in the van with you."
"If you plan to do this, don't you think maybe you should drop off the guys
first. I know that this van can hold eight, but there is six in it already."
Kris was a whole lot happier to just forgo the bar. The odds of Jessy having to
dominate another was less if they tried their luck with those that made their
living selling their bodies.
"This van is built to seat ten baby girl. There is still that far back seat
that three of them can be squeezed into. I'm not real worried about seat belt
laws, or a fine. It's not like you can't afford to pay it. Don't worry baby, I
know what I am doing. Remember, before Janis, I made my living selling my bed
time to rich women."
"Then we can collect another five, three for the far back seat, and one to
fit in with Randy and Bobby, as well as one to go with Mitch and Alex. Surely
five would be more than enough. Mitch and Danny would like another girl as
well. So while I'm going to be trying to convince all the guys I'm going to
convince that I'm just a poor lonely rich girl, looking for some company, you
can snag another woman. So, lets park this van, and go hunting, shall we?"
Jessy just shook his head laughing. "You know what cousin, you were made
for this."
"Not really, just very hungry."
Jessy parked the van again. Turning in his seat to look at her. "Is it
bad, baby? I don't want you to go out among so many mortals if you're hurting."
She shrugged. "I'm not about to attack anyone, but yeah, I'm really
hungry."
He pulled her head to his throat. "You should have said something sooner.
I'm going out of my way to see that you don't have to worry about over feeding
from any in our house, and here you are sitting around going hungry." Now was
not the time to take her feeding any farther, but when he got home, just as soon
as he took care of the rest, he was going to finish this. *Go on, cousin, drink
you fill. I will still have my two, and the ones that I am taking tonight, I
can feed from them as I bind them to me. *
* * *
"Okay Pet, make sure that Bobby doesn't try to leave the van. With as lost
as he is right now, I don't want to run the risk of him stumbling around and
getting hurt, or walking into traffic." Jessy looked back at the mortal he had
had with him for the longest.
"Don't worry Jessy, I'll keep him safe, you know I will." Ever since he was
finally able to be his, really his, he hadn't needed to call him master, unless,
that was what he was being, his 'master'. And Jessy so loved when he called him
by his given name. Randy couldn't help himself. He wanted to please him,
always. "Just try to see if you can get one or two that swing both ways." He
called out as Jessy and Kris left the van.
"What, Precious, Little One, Boy and I aren't enough for you." Mitch's
amused voice from behind him, as he used Jessy's names for them all. "And you
keep saying that Little One is the attention slut in our house."
"Be nice, Mitch." Randy fussed at him. "You and Danny are almost always
attached to our mistress, I've never done anything more than fuck Jake, though
when Jessy finally lets him come back to himself, he just might be worth the
effort. And Alex, he's still real new to us, so of course, Jessy is spending
the lion's share of his time, when he doesn't have mistress, with him. Patty
and I are spending more and more time together, and love his Girl though I do,
she is just that, a girl, and I am to the bone, queer as a football bat, or
gender biased as Jessy would say. So yeah, would be nice to have someone she
and I could play with, while everyone else is busy."
* * *
"I think I might have had better luck in the bar." Kris whispered to Jessy
as she looked around. Lot's of women, but she didn't see the first man one.
"Give it time, baby girl, they just haven't got a good look at you yet.
Trust me, I know my old profession very well, give them just a little time. And
you will have all the cute little boys you could ever hope to get flocking
around you."
"Got a question for you, if Randy is your Pet, and Alex is Precious, what do
you plan to call Bobby?"
"I don't know yet, I haven't had the time to get to know him. Soon enough
something will come to me. So, which of these girls do you think will fit in
with your two?"
Kris looked around, there were four or five that huddled on the street,
trying to brave the chill night air to earn their living. They all looked a bit
worn, and tired. But there was one, a girl with bright red hair, who if she was
given a decent diet and rest would, look stunning. *That one, she pointed to
the redhead Mitch has always complained that I should try dying my hair that
color. He likes redheads. *
Jessy nodded. *Don't, look now cousin. But, I do believe you are beginning
to attract attention. * He nodded to the, two, boys/men that were stepping out
of a coffee shoppe, both looking at her. *Why don't you just lure them both to
the van, I'll get the girl, and meet you back at the van. Won't take long at
all, trust me. *
"Hello," Kris smiled at the two as they approached her.
"You looking for some company, honey?" The older of the two smiled at her.
"I don't know, maybe. You offering?"
"For you, honey, I'd do it for free."
*Jess, quick, I can't read them yet, either of them cops? *
*No, there are no officers out tonight, so play your part to the hilt. *
She just laughed at the man softly. "I don't expect anything for free. My
lover and I are in the mood for a little group action. So we're out here
looking for a few good men and, he want's another girl."
"How much you offering honey?"
"I honestly don't know. I've never done anything like this before." She
wasn't lying to, them. She really hadn't done anything like this before.
The older of the two looked to the other. Who only nodded. Sure, he didn't
have a problem with doing it with men. Some of his best customers were men.
"How deep is your boyfriends pockets?" He asked, softly.
"It's my six month anniversary gift to him. My treat." Six months, had she
really been with him that, long? It seemed just like yesterday when Marcus
killed her.
"Okay, how deed are your pockets?" The younger of the two rearranged his
question.
Kris shrugged. "What's the asking price, tell me what your are asking, and
I'll tell you if that is something I am willing to pay."
"Fifty each, and if you want to add any thing extra, that will cost you
another fifty," the older of the two rattled off their price. "Each."
'Damn, and here I thought I had a good night when I got more than fifty
bucks worth in tips.' "Tell you what. I got a, thou, to spend not including
whatever that redhead he is talking to wants. If you can come up with another
guy, you guys can split it between you. But afterwards, I don't pay for a meal
before I eat it." 'Ouch, girl, that was just a little too close to the mark'.
She winced.
"I know Mike here, but the only other guy, is this new kid, and I haven't
had time to get to know him, so I don't know if he will, or not." The younger
of the two admitted.
"Well, why don't you ask him. This is as much my treat as if is his. He's
going to play with two, so I should too."
"Go on Sam, I won't try to steal her." The older of the two pushed the
younger.
"Got a question for you, while we wait for your friend." Kris smiled. It
was going to work. And here she had been certain that it would take most of the
night to get all that they were after. Maybe being a vampire was changing her
luck.
"Sure honey, I'll answer any question you got."
"I'm Kris, if your friends name is Sam, what's yours?"
"Mike, not Mikey, just Mike."
"Awww, for over three hundred dollars, for one night's fun, can't I call you
Mikey?"
He stepped forward, touching her cheek. "Honey, for what you are offering,
you can call me any thing you want." He wasn't sure why, but she just made him
burn. She put off some kind of vibe, or scent, or something that was effecting
him. For her, he really would do it for free. The three hundred and thirty
three dollars he would get out of this, was just an added bonus.
Kris stepped closer to him, almost pressing against his body. "Then I think
I'll call you, baby."
*So, cousin, what is the story you are passing off to your boys? * Jessy's
mind touched hers.
*A six-month anniversary gift, a little group action. My, treat. *
*Oh that is right, it is about that time isn't it. * God, to be that young
again, to still measure, time, in weeks and months, or even years.
"He's into it." Sam returned another boy with him, even younger than he
was. He couldn't have been any older than she was, probably, younger.
"And your name is?" Kris didn't pull away from Mike.
"Ryan." He smiled at her. "Sam said you were looking for a group."
'Oh well, I guess Mitch is going to have to get used to another, other than
Danny'. He was just too adorable. Reddish blond hair, that wasn't curly,
wasn't straight, that just seemed to hang in loose wavy almost curls to just
past his shoulders. A heart shaped face, but very angular, high, prominent
cheeks, and something of a point to his chin. He looked almost like what she
imagined Puck would. With a ring in the left nostril of his nose, damn, but he
was just too hot.
"Did he tell you how much?" She would see, how trust worthy this guy was.
Mike had been friendly, but he hadn't tried to talk her into just skipping out
on him.
He nodded, "Yeah, over three hundred each. So what does that get you?"
"The chance to get to see my man fuck you." She wasn't going to try to act
too dumb here. After all, that is all these three thought they were going to
get anyway.
"Straight up, or do you have anything planned?" He might be new to the
area, but he had started selling himself when he was all of fifteen, and still
in high school.
"Oh I don't know, Jess may want to tie you down to do it. Nothing nasty,
I'm, not, into anything nasty, and he knows it." 'Come on cutie, relax, I won't
hurt you', she silently prayed.
"Now hold on here, you didn't say nothing about being tied down to
anything." Sam pulled back, looking at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought for the money I was giving you guys, that there
wouldn't be a problem. Okay, I'll make it fifteen hundred, but that is as high
as it goes. That's five each."
"Damn honey, for that kind of money, your boyfriend can tie me down and do
anything he wants." Mike looked at the other two.
"No, that falls under 'nasty'." Kris looked at Ryan. "Tell you what, it's
up to you guys, the one that is willing to be tied down, gets his money
doubled." She pulled away from Mike to step close to Ryan. Instinctively
concentrating all her, fledgling, energies on him. "Come on sugar, I really
want to see you with Jessy."
* * *
Ryan moved to press against Jessy as he and Kris regrouped. "So you like to
tie boys down." He ran his hand up Jessy's inner thigh. "You can tie me down."
*Okay, baby girl, get your two's attention. And hold it. You can't
dominate anyone yet, but you can hold them silent and still for a time. *
*Offer them the choice, freely or lost. * Kris was going to have problems
enough with Bobby lost as he was, she just didn't want to deal with having to
work around it with any others.
*That is why I said silent and still, honey, if all I was going to do was
dominate them and take their wills, I wouldn't have mentioned it. *
"Mike, Sam, maybe you should listen to what Jessy is going to tell you." He
whole being went in to holding on to their attentions.
"What?" Mike started to question her.
"Ssshh, don't talk, sweety, just listen." She looked up to where Jessy had
done much the same thing to his two. "Okay, baby, you have their attention."
"I want you all to listen to me. You are ours now, and there is nothing
that will change that. I honestly have never had to explain to any mortal in my
house what I am for the first time, other than Bobby, and Kris did most of the
talking. So I will probably do it very badly. But we're vampires. And you are
now part of our house.." He looked away for a moment; to break gazes with
Brenda's horrified eyes. He always noticed the eyes, always the eyes.
"Neither of us will ever hurt you, not unless you do something really out of
line, and them only if I have to punish you." He reached out and touched
Brenda's cheek, smiling at her. "And there are many positive things about
belonging to a vampire. I have had my oldest pet with me for about twenty
years, and he doesn't look a day older that he did when he first came to me.
None of the mortals that, any of us, those of the blood, own ever get sick, and
if they come to us, sick, our blood heals them. There is not a one of you that
either hasn't had or in two of your cases, currently have a venereal decease.
And one of the two is much sicker than you would like to think you are HIV
positive. It doesn't matter whom, because by the time you go to sleep, you
won't be. Think, before you act, unknown time as you are now, in your youth,
guaranteed health, and complete immunity to all illnesses, illnesses of any
kind. Our blood not only heals contagious decease, but congenial and hereditary
as well, things like cancer, diabetes and the like. You will have a life unlike
anything you have ever had before. I promise you, you will never want for
anything. I spoil those I love, and I will come to love each and every one of
you. We both will." Now he would see if he were going to have to dominate any
of them. He hoped he wouldn't have to. "You are ours no matter what happens,
but I would much rather have you all come willingly. I do not want to have to
take your wills. I don't want to dominate any of you." He looked to the girl.
"Brenda, I don't want to force you, but I will if I have too. You, going to
agree to come freely? Knowing that after you are bound to me, that you can't
ever leave. I found out the hard way today what would happen to a mortal who
drinks from us, and then doesn't continue to do so. That is one of the reasons
I am working so hard to add to their numbers. I do not want any of you to ever
feel what he did. I was there, and it didn't last long, but I can't risk that
kind of thing again. So I have to give them my blood very often, in some cases,
every night. But Kris, she's all of six months old, so she feeds a lot. Not
ten to twelve times a night, anymore, but still a lot. She even in the middle
of the day sometimes feeds from me, so I have to up my diet too. I couldn't
just share my increased hunger with them without ending up weakening them. I
won't do that to any of you. I don't hurt, and I don't kill." He hoped that
none of them took notice of the redundancy of that last statement. You couldn't
kill someone with out, hurting, them. Being dead is being hurt in a big way.
"Now, I am going to give you back your voice. Please don't scream. I don't
want to force you, and if you scream, I won't have any choice." He released his
hold on her voice, but not on her body, incase he had to stop her lungs, to
deprive her vocal cords air to speak. "Will you come freely, or should I just
dominate you. If I do, you will be very confused and lost to yourself for about
a week to ten days, but that is okay. I won't hurt you, and I won't let any
one, else, hurt you while you are lost to yourself. By the time you finally
make it back to yourself, you will be happy with us."
Brenda looked at him, her lower lips trembling. She was remembering the
trick she had a few months back and how she hadn't used anything.
*Yes, honey, you are both positive and pregnant. I'm pretty sure that once
I give you my blood, the fetus will abort. So far, there has never been any of
those of your sex who belongs to one of us, who has ever gotten pregnant, the
three I have at home do not even have their menses anymore. And believe me
darling, with as often as we play, if it could happen it would have already. Of
that, I'm sorry, I honestly would like to help raise a mortal child. I am
forever forbidden of making one of my own. * She gasped as Jessy's mind
touched hers lightly. He could read her mind, he would know everything she
thought.
Jessy chuckled softly. "I won't pry in your inner secrets, Brenda. That
would be rude. I am not even trying to read your mind, It's just that your
thoughts are so loud that they are all but screaming at me."
"You not gonna hurt me, right?"
"No, sugar, I'm not."
"And I'm really?" She just couldn't finish the words.
*Yes, you really are. And my blood really will heal you. *
"Okay, yes, I'll go."
"I'll collar you when we get back to me house, but for now, I release you,
just relax." He turned his attention to Ryan.
"How about you," Jessy made the same observation that Kris did. "Puck, what
else do I need to say to ease your fears, so I don't have to dominate you." He
smiled at him. "Go on, you can speak."
"Yes, I'll do it. God yes." He didn't care what this man wanted out of
him, if he would only get him off the streets, he's do anything he was told to
do. He'd been selling himself for too many years, didn't know anything else to
do. He had been praying that some woman would decide she liked him, and take
him off the streets and keep him, even if it was as her slave, so accepting this
man wasn't too great a stretch.
Jessy smiled. 'That was easy'. Now he looked to the two that Kris was
holding. "Mike, Sam, same question." I got them now baby girl, go tend to your
two. I'm not stupid, I saw how you kept looking at that boy. *
Mike looked at him, licking his lips. Could he do it, did he have a choice.
"You're not going to hurt us, right?"
Jessy just laughed at him. "No, Mike, I'm not. Kris won't either."
"I'll do it." Sam took a deep breath. "I'll wear you collar, be anything
you want me to be."
"I want you to be happy, Sam." Just one more and he could relax. "Mike?"
"Okay, what the fuck. Sure, I'll do it."
* * *
Jessy was overly pleased with the way the night had gone. True, Bobby had
not been willing to come freely. But, then again, he hadn't fully explained all
the added pluses to belonging to them to him, as he had done the other four.
Now, with a total of thirteen in his house, surely he had enough. He had
explained to them on the way home that they were to call him master and Kris
mistress, but seeing as they all had come willingly, they could also call him by
his given name and Kris by hers. He liked the sound of it from both Randy and
Mitch. He would have to point out how good it felt when he knew he owned them,
and they were comfortable enough with it to call him by his name, to Janis next
time he saw her. Owning mortals was still so very new, that anything that was
truly noteworthy was shared among his race. He would have to take the time to
contact his mother on the dangers of neglecting one of them. Maybe he could
tell her the rest when he contacted her about his scare with Mitch.
* * *
"Master!" Patty met him at the door.
He immediately became tense. "What is, it, Girl?"
"It's Jake. He just keeps crying. He doesn't believe that he will ever be
forgiven. Please, let him go. He's been punished enough. Any more and you're
only being mean, and I know you aren't Jessy." She dared to use his name, but
with all that was involved, she knew he would understand.
Jessy just let out the breath he had been holding. "Was going to do that
already, sugar. Just as soon as I tend to my new ones. Just keep assuring him
that He is forgiven, and I will take care of him, soon enough."
"Can't you do something about the pain, now?"
He nodded. Patty was always so on top of things, he wasn't sure how he and
Randy had ever made it without her. *Kris, honey, see what you can do about
getting them to sit down and relax, I'll be back in a few minutes, have to get
the collars I have for them, and tend to Jake. *
*You are planning on letting him go, right? *
*Do you have a problem with that? *
*No, I was going to nag at you if you weren't. *
"Go and get the collar's honey, I'll take care of Jake." He kissed her
lightly.
"My Girl tells me that you are sure I won't ever forgive you." Jessy sat
beside him on the love seat. "Did you forget that I promised you that I would?"
He reached to touch Jake's ever-present erection.
Jake looked up at him, pain and fear in his lost brown eyes. "Please
Master, don't fuss about Nothing, he isn't worth it." He knew what was coming,
though his master hadn't touched him for so long, now, like this, he would hurt
him.
Jessy gathered him up and pulled him into his lap. "Listen to me Jake. You
are something now. I forgive you. You're my Boy again. I will put my collar
back around your neck. I will love you. No more pain, There will be no more
pain." He reached out and removed the block that he had placed on Jake finding
his way back to himself. "I forgive you, do you understand Boy, I forgive you.
There will be no more pain, we all will make love to you. You won't ever be
just fucked again.
"He doesn't understand Master, why would you forgive him, he isn't worthy of
you."
'I didn't realize I had pushed him this far'. "Listen to me Boy, you are
worthy, your punishment is over, you are forgiven. As long as you never do it
again, it is over. I believe you have learned your lesson. So it is over." He
had to repeat himself several times, before he thought that maybe Jake would
understand what he was telling him.
"Master." Patty stood at his side. "The collars you sent me for." She
held out one of the six bands of silver.
"Thank you, baby." He took the collar from her, turning back to Jake.
"Here you go, Boy. I claim you again. You're forgiven and one of my beloved
pet's." He released the lock on the collar opening it by a hinge that was
behind its ring. Placing it around Jake's throat, so it could rest just below
where he would bite.
"There how does that feel?" He couldn't stop himself from becoming lost in
Jake's blood. He was so hungry. He hadn't really had any to spare Kris when
she was in need. He probably should have let her feed off of Mitch or Randy.
"I promise you, baby, I will finish this soon." And he sank his fangs home.
Bobby watched as Jessy held Jake to him, feeding from him. "That what he is
going to do to this one?"
"Yes Bobby, but not tonight. I've fed from you once already, and you don't
have a bond with him yet, it would weaken you. So he won't tonight."
"Does it hurt?" Brenda whispered.
"Yeah, but just for that second that it takes them to bite you. After that
it is real nice." Mitch sat by Kris. "How did you know I liked redheads?"
"You had been bitching at me for our last year together, before Marcus
killed me, how much you'd like to see my hair that color. Well, I am not dying
mine, so I did the next best thing. Now if only it's, really, real."
"I'll find out soon enough." He snickered.
"Better take a good look while you can. Jessy informed me that the girls
are clean-shaven here. Even suggested that I might want to do it. I agreed,
but only after he told me that he saw to it that the guys were shaved too. It
is only fair."
Mitch looked at her closely. "Kris, just hypothetically speaking, what if I
don't want to look like a little boy? Not that I'm saying no, just what if"
Kris didn't look down or get upset. She knew that this would come up.
"Mitch, I love you, it would kill me to see you hurt, even if it is just lost
again. But I can't have you undermining our authority. Please understand.
Don't fight us, Bobby couldn't just let go, so Jessy had to take his free will
to chose, away from him. Please, don't make him do that to you. It won't
matter anyway. The only ones in the house that still have any hair there at
all, are you, Alex, Danny, and the new ones. It usually takes about a year to
fall out, but it will, so you might as well just shave it off and forget about
it."
It was the first time Mitch ever really faced the fact that Kris owned him,
really owned him. Jessy, he could almost understand, but he just hadn't taken
it past him, to her. "Yes, Mistress, I'm sorry." His voice was soft, eyes
down.
Kris tilted his head back up to meet her eyes. "Please, 'Butch'," she used
Jessy's name for him, knowing that it would hit him much closer than any name
she came up with, including the one that he had been given at birth. "Don't, do
this to me. Don't make the same mistake Jake did."
"I understand, Krissy, sorry, I just forgot there for a minute. Neither of
you acts like you own us. It just took me back, a bit, to be reminded that you
do."
"Why don't you and Little One take," Jessy thought for a moment, trying to
come up with another suitable name. Then he smiled. "Sweety and Puck here, and
talk to them, try to convince them they are safe, maybe if they hear it from
another mortal, they will believe it."
"Go on Kris, I can take over from here. They are a lot less withdrawn after
you feed from them. A pint or so from each won't hurt them." *I got you love.
*
"Come on you guys. Let's go some where and talk." She headed for the door
to the stairs down to the basement. They would end up there anyway. And Jessy
didn't have to be standing over her any more.
"Danny, you grab Puck, I'll get Sweety." Mitch gently wrapped an arm around
her, leading her to follow Kris. "It's okay girl, nothing bad is going to
happen to you. Trust me."
Danny just laughed following Mitch down the stairs.
"What's so funny?"
Danny just laughed a little harder, "how do you say 'fuck you' in
California?"
Mitch just began to laugh as he got the joke. "Trust me."
"Well luckily for you all, when those two words are used in this house, they
mean what they are supposed to mean." Kris held out a hand to both Brenda and
Ryan. "Come on over here and sit down with me, both of you.
"What are you gonna do to us?" Ryan for all the willingness he had, had, so
far, now he was beginning to be a little leery.
"Not, what you are afraid we'll do. What, you don't believe Jessy when he
said you all were safe, and no one would ever hurt you again? You; weren't you
the one that almost jumped at the chance. Why the sudden change of heart?"
"No," he shook his head. "I'm sorry, I was just working it out in my head.
I didn't mean for it to come out."
Kris sat beside him. "No, Puck, I'm glad it did. You all need to always be
open to us. We will know what you feel anyway, or at least Jessy will, and,
when it deals with all of you, what he knows, he makes sure I do too.
"You never would have made it as a lawyer Krissy. You are entirely too
direct." Mitch leaned against Danny, holding him.
"No I don't suppose I would. I hate beating around the bush and pussy
footing around. But I am serious, be open with us, don't hesitate to tell us
how you feel, if it is important to you.
"Like I was telling you, Ryan." She continued without missing a beat. "I
want to know what you are feeling. Why did you say that?"
He looked down. "I was just questioning my willingness for a minute. But
it's okay now. I can't swear to this, but I am fairly sure I trust you."
That was funny to her, "kinda, sorta, maybe, hu?" She leaned forward to
kiss him on the cheek. "I can work with a 'maybe'. How about you?" *Quick
love, you come up with a name for Brenda yet, you were mighty fast with Puck's,
how about her? * Kris went to check with Jessy, before she said anything else.
*I do believe Sweety will do her just fine. After all, she does look sweet.
*
Kris just laughed softly. "Okay, how about you Sweety, how do you feel
about me?"
"As long as it doesn't hurt, I think I can trust you."
"Watch, Sweety, see that I'm not hurting anyone." She moved to lie across
Ryan's lap. *You, there? *
*Always, you know that. * Came the response.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Her mouth covered his, kissing him
deeply, fingers tangling in his waves of hair.
Her lips moved from his to kiss down the column of his throat. Reminding,
herself, as, she, pressed her fangs into his throat and the hot, salty/sweet;
iron tang of his blood filled her mouth, that she had to be careful. But it was
so hard. All she wanted to do was give herself to this wondrous feeling.
She felt Jessy's light touch, not a word, just a touch, but he was ready,
always, ready to step in if he had too.
