“Right on time, this time.”
Kemp grinned cheekily at Seth.
“I see.” Seth kissed Kemp
lightly and then slipped an arm around his waist. “Look, I hate to ask this
but…”
Kemp got it instantly.
“You’re hungry. It’s okay. Not like I haven’t seen vampyres feed before, you
know.”
“I know, but it just sort of
seems strange, having you there and watching.”
“So I’ll play keep-away and
make sure no one bothers you. Where are we going to do this?”
“I usually go down by the
river when I’m in this area. There aren’t many people there and it’s secluded
if you know the right spots.”
“I know,” Kemp told him,
refraining from saying more.
Twenty minutes later, Kemp
turned to look out over the river while Seth took the young man he’d chosen
into the deep shadows of some trees. He’d been surprised when he felt a pang of
jealousy as the pair disappeared. He knew it was only supper as far as Seth was
concerned, but still it was an intimate act to bite into the host’s neck that
way.
Either Seth had read his
mind, which Kemp thought really wasn’t possible yet, or he was sensitive enough
to understand what Kemp might be feeling, because when he returned with the
young man, sending him on his way, he told Kemp he’d fed from his wrist.
“Do you always?” Kemp asked.
Seth smiled. “Not until
today, but I will from now on.” Stroking his finger down the length of Kemp’s
throat he said, “Yours is the only one I want to be nipping from now on.” He
demonstrated, biting lightly, which elicited a moan from Kemp. When he moved on
to Kemp's ear, Kemp mustered his waning willpower and moved a step away.
Laughing low, Seth took his hand. “I know. And if I wasn’t a gentleman, you’d
be up against that tree right now with me on my knees, or better yet deep inside
of you.”
“Keep talking like that,”
Kemp growled, “and I’ll see to it that you are, and the hell with whoever
happens to walk by.”
“Then I’ll behave for now.”
Slinging his arm around Kemp’s shoulders, Seth said, “So, about this whole
territory thing. Have you made up your mind yet?”
Simply wonderful! I love it! Can't wait for more!
