In the end, Yesenia had convinced Leo to allow Nora and River to take Meadow to their house. She would need to meet Dark Lord Khan anyway, and being around other fae witches would be less intimidating. Especially given the former hatred and tension between the vampires and fae witches in London.
Even if that past was barely a thought inside the walls of Nyx’s Kingdom—there were all sorts of pairings inside the pleasure house—it was a different story in many parts of London’s vampire territory. Only Yesenia, who was Leo’s bride, could walk freely without fear of any retaliation.
Well, at least from those living in London under Leo’s rule. The French vampires were another problem, and one he and Laurie would have to worry about too since the frogs seemed to target anyone close to Leo, meaning they might go after Laurie and his fated one.
But as Joseph poured another glass of wine and sipped, he pushed aside his worries about enemies and danger. He could strategize about what to do tomorrow. Because tonight, well, tonight he waited for Laurie to return from showing the others out. Would his former lover turned friend want to be lovers again?
His heart pounded as his cock turned harder. It’d been so long, decades, since he’d been able to have sex. When a vampire entered their frozen state, their heart stopped beating. And without blood, a male couldn’t harden, let alone orgasm.
And even though he’d managed to survive decades as Laurie’s friend and business partner, he didn’t want that any longer. Yes, he felt a pull toward Meadow as well, and he wouldn’t feel complete until he had them both. But Meadow would take time to woo, and Joseph wanted—no, needed—to fuck and be fucked by Laurie first. Otherwise, he’d never be able to focus and help rein in Laurie’s patience to win over Meadow.
Because unlike in the past when it’d been easy to find a third partner to join them, Meadow was more complicated. And not just because her entire world had shifted by being brought into the past. No, he and Laurie needed to help the female learn to embrace her magic. After all, they’d worked with a few fae witches over the years with the same ability to control lust and desire. It often allowed someone to embrace their deepest desires, ones they kept hidden from the world, and fully be themselves. If Meadow could see that, and see how much joy and confidence it brought someone, she might see her powers differently.
The office door opened, and Laurie walked in, shutting the door behind him. Joseph sipped his wine, watching the male he’d known for so many decades. One who was less serious and more spontaneous, but also caring, loving, and softer than a lot of males he’d known over the years.
And damn, how he’d missed being closer to him.
After draining his glass and putting it on the side table, Joseph strode toward Laurie. He stopped about six inches away, and they stared at one another for a second, and another, making Joseph’s heart beat even faster.
Then something snapped inside of him, and he reached over and pulled Laurie’s head to his and kissed him.
It wasn’t soft, but rather hard and demanding. Laurie didn’t hesitate to open his mouth, pulling Joseph closer, and their tongues battled as they rubbed against each other.
As he continued to devour Laurie’s sweet mouth, he moved his hands and fumbled with Laurie’s trousers. Within a few seconds, he opened them and reached inside to stroke his cock. Laurie moaned into his mouth and then caressed Joseph’s cock through his trousers.
Pleasure shot through him, but it wasn’t enough. Not nearly enough.
He broke the kiss. “I want you naked. Now.”
Laurie nipped his bottom lip before growling, “You, too.”
They each shed their clothes in record time before pulling each other close and kissing again. Joseph reached down to hold their dicks together and stroked. The feel of Laurie’s hard dick against his felt good, so good.
But he wanted more. He needed more.
As if reading his mind, Laurie gentled the kiss and then licked his way down Joseph’s neck, teasing his skin with a fang along the way. He groaned and threaded his fingers through Laurie’s hair. “Don’t stop. Don’t you bloody stop.”
Laurie chuckled, his hot breath dancing against his skin. “Never again.”
After a few more kisses against his neck, Laurie knelt in front of him and took hold of his cock. His eyes met Joseph’s, full ofheat and longing, and he said, “Watch me. Don’t you dare look away.”
Then he licked the tip of his cock, and Joseph groaned. Each little flick against his sensitive head made him even hotter, and then Laurie sucked him deep inside his mouth.
Never taking his gaze from Joseph’s, Laurie used his hand and mouth to suck and squeeze and tug, the tension building.
It’d been too long, too bloody long, and he wasn’t going to last.
Then Laurie fondled Joseph’s bollocks as he grazed his cock with a fang, and pleasure exploded. He came in long, intense jerks, to the point he had to lean his hands on the desk behind him to stay upright. The entire time he maintained eye contact, moaning even more as Laurie lapped at his blood and swallowed him down.
Eventually Laurie gentled his mouth and tongue before releasing Joseph’s dick, licked the graze closed, and stood. Laurie slowly ran his hands up Joseph’s chest until he could pull his head down and kiss him again. They took their time, although Laurie’s hardness against his belly told him they weren’t done. He murmured, “Your turn, Laurie. I want you inside me.”
He smiled slowly, the grin making Joseph’s heart beat fast again at how handsome he was.
Laurie replied, “Then it’s a good thing that I picked up what we needed on the way. Because, fuck, Joseph. I need to feel your tight arsehole around my cock.”
After kissing Laurie slowly for a few more seconds, Joseph turned toward the desk, leaned over, and widened his stance. “Then take me, Laurie. I’m all yours.”
Laurie ranhis hand over Joseph’s muscled arse cheeks. His heart still thumped from tasting Joseph’s blood after all these years, but his cock throbbed. Having Joseph’s dick in his mouth and driving the male wild had been just as good as he remembered.
