“Um… I play WoW, um, World of Warcraft. I play when I get time. It’s really fun. There’s magic, elves, dwarfs, and orcs. I’m sorry. I’m rambling. You don’t want to hear about that. Um… thanks for letting me use your jacket,” he said, holding out the shared garment.
I took my coat but set it aside on the gaming chair. “I’d love to hear all about it. You’ll have to teach me to play so we can play together.”
Reggie’s eyes widened, and I couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m not too old that I can’t learn, right?”
Reggie shook his head. “No, of course, you could learn. I didn’t think you’d want to. Do you really want to? I can show you some stuff now,” he replied and walked toward his desk.
I reached and gently grabbed his arm, stopping his progress. Reggie peered up at me.
“How are your scratches? I’d like to check them,” I said.
“They’re okay. You don’t have—”
“Please, may I?” I asked, interrupting.
Reggie hugged his waist and looked down. “I-I really…”
I gently placed my finger under his chin and raised his head. He stared at me, and I whispered, “You are a very handsome man,mon chou. Don’t take the words that that filth spewed at you to heart. He’s blind.”
“But…I-I am fat. I know I don’t look like you. You probably have a washboard stomach. I mean, you’re gorgeous, and I’m just a fat ass,” he said, defeated.
Anger surged through me at the sight of his dejected and defeated appearance. “I don’t ever want to hear you call yourself that. I won’t stand for it if others say it, and I won’t stand for it if you say it. You are beautiful. If we all looked alike, life would be very boring.Non?”
Reggie didn’t reply. He appeared to be weighing my words. He took a deep breath and gave a tiny nod before slowly lifting the hem of his shirt. The wounds were red, but the blood had stopped. I gently examined them, trailing my fingers over Reggie’s skin.
I glanced at Reggie as he watched my every move with awe. I realized in that instance that no one had ever touched him in kindness. I stepped close, and he swung his gaze to mine. I leaned forward and he squeaked as I captured his lips in a kiss.
He tasted sweet, like strawberries and sugar. I wanted more. I pressed my body against his and deepened the kiss. He moaned and wiggled against me. My cock throbbed in the confines of my slacks. It had been so long since I’d held someone, touched someone, kissed someone. After meeting Zander, I lived like a monk. And I thought I’d remain a monk forever, but now I had Reggie in my arms.
I ran my hands over Reggie’s back and grasped the hem of his shirt. I broke the kiss and pulled his shirt from his body. He moved to put his hands over his stomach, but I stopped him.
“You’re beautiful,” I whispered, going down to my knees in front of him.
Reggie’s eyes widened as I kissed his chest and stomach. Taking care, I made sure not to disturb his wounds. I wanted no pain for my beloved, only pleasure.
Reggie moaned. “No one has ever….”
His voice trailed off as I rubbed my face over his bulge. He gasped as I mouthed his cock through his jeans, and I smirked.My sweetheart will know pleasure, I thought. I felt his legs tremble underneath my hands. I worried that he might fall. I quickly rose to my feet and swooped him up into my arms. He yelped in surprise.
“What are you doing? I’m too heavy,” he yelled.
“Hush, you’re perfect, and I’m getting you more comfortable,” I said as I laid him gently on his bed. I reached out to unbuckle his pants. I needed to see him, to taste him without a barrier. I needed him.
“Wait,” he said, pushing my hands from his pants button.
“What’s wrong,mon chou?” I asked. Didn’t he want this? Did I misread the situation?
“I don’t have any protection, do you? I haven’t ever…” he said, stumbling over his words.
Protection? Merde!“I don’t, but I’m clean,” I said, shaking my head. As a vampire, I couldn’t contract or give any disease.
Reggie crawled back away from me, shaking his head. “I’m clean too. I never had sex before, but for all you know, I may be lying, or you may be lying. We just met. I won’t without protection.”
I smiled at him through my frustration. He was right. He didn’t know me. “You’re right. We don’t know each other, and I hope to change that. But you should know I will never lie to you. I will always be honest. With that said, we can take our time and ensure we have protection next time. For now, can we pleasure each other in other ways?”
Reggie beamed. “What other ways did you have in mind?”
I crawled onto the bed and reached for his button again. This time, he didn’t recoil or protest. I quickly unsnapped the button and unzipped his jeans. His cock pressed the white fabric of his underwear. I leaned forward and mouthed his shaft through cotton material.
