Lorien’s moans floated through the forest, as did the sounds of human parts being barbecued. That smell only spurred Henry’s hunger, and he feasted on Lorien’s ass, until Lorien’s cock was so hard he thought it might explode.
“If you’re not trying to torture me, you need to fuck me,” Lorien grunted.
“So greedy,” Henry teased. He was just as desperate to be inside his lover as Lorien was to have him. He rose up, cock in hand, pointed straight at the moonlit ass he had just lapped to perfection and plunged deep inside the one he loved more than life.
“YES!” Lorien screamed the word, arched his back, and thrust his hips back to meet Henry’s cock. Henry pulled him back from the trunk and reached around, gripping Lorien’s cock in his hand and stroking it in time with his thrusts.
“Yesss,” Henry growled, moving deeper, harder, faster, burying his face in the long, flowing mane of Lorien’s hair, before taking a fistful of it and wrapping it about his palm, keeping a firm grip on his vampire lover.
Completely caught by Henry, Lorien felt himself close to bursting into climax, his cock stroked, his ass filled, Henry’s animal scent thick in the air. Mating with Henry was always such a primal experience, and he thrilled to every part of it.
He had missed his mate deeply. Every day he had been forced to see Henry in Gideon’s cage. And every day had been a fresh misery for both of them. He had felt so helpless to do anything for his mate. Henry was too proud to verbalize the toll captivity had taken, but it had drained him of his energies and his strength. He had been humbled and humiliated by bars and collars and chains, forced to bow to evil. It should have been enough to break him, but Henry was unbreakable.
Lorien could feel him regaining strength even now, each successive thrust stronger, more powerful, more alive. Close to the apex of ecstasy, Lorien silently swore he would help Henry heal from his ordeal, and he would ensure that such a fate never befell him again. The next time someone came for Henry, they would regret it.
They emerged from the woods an hour or two later, disheveled and covered in bits and pieces of tree, looking very much satisfied.
Ivan was asleep next to the fire. Lorien crouched down next to him and shook him awake. Ivan issued a disgruntled curse as he opened one eye.
“The fuck you want?”
“Where’s Will?”
Ivan shrugged. “Ran off somewhere when you two went at it. Guess he didn’t like the sound of things.”
“Fuck,” Lorien swore. He had promised Maddox he would do his best to keep Will safe. But true to form, Will was already being a pain in the ass.

Back in Gideon’s residence one day later…
Gideon was recovering from his injuries. They were already almost entirely healed, which he was faintly disappointed by. They would have healed more quickly if he would stop picking them with curious interest. It was so fascinating to have been hurt. He kept trying to mentally recreate the pain, but nothing worked. It didn’t have the lethal intent that the woman had brought with her, possessed, vile, broken thing as she was.
“Are you feeling alright, pater?”
Ray could be a sniveling little shit at the best of times. Gideon usually had plenty of patience for it, because it came with obedience of the kind that made his life easier. Today, however, he found it an irritant.
“Yes,” he said. “What is it, Ray?”
“The monster that nearly killed you, we have been unable to identify what she is.”
“Does it matter?”
“Of course, pater. She is capable of doing damage to you. She could appear at this place at any time and attack us all. She seems impervious to pain. I thought I wounded her, but she did not bleed. She acted as though she could not feel it. She is a clear and present danger to you, and to every vampire loyal to you.”
Gideon’s dark eyes flashed with eternal glee. “I know. Isn’t it exciting?”
Ray’s face looked on the verge of crumpling. “Father, I have never seen you injured before.”
“I know. Isn’t it exciting?” Gideon repeated with a broad grin.
“I don’t think you understand. This represents a fundamental shift in what you are, and what is ultimately possible.” Raymond lowered his voice, as if he was about to say something unthinkable. “She might be able to kill you.”
“If there were anything on this planet capable of destroying me, it makes sense that I would have been the one to make it,” Gideon replied. He was quite entranced with the experience of being hurt, harmed, and having his life threatened. He wanted more of it. It was, he supposed, something like a drug.
“Bring me Maddox.”
Ray’s face did that unattractive contortion once more. “What could he do that I cannot do?”
