“Do not worry, this is just a close knit community, despite the amount of people that live here. You will fit in soon enough,” I assured her and that seemed to have the opposite effect than intended.
“Fit in?” she asked and I sighed.
“Truthfully… there is a… well it is difficult to explain,” I did not think then was the right time to tell her that she lived in a town, and region actually, full of vampires. Some communities were simply more tolerant of humans than others in the northeast. Especially in the city, don’t get me started on the hodgepodge that was New York.
“Can’t you tell me? Of all people, the future mayor of this town should be able to tell me about it… I mean I came here because my parents, who were my only family in Jersey—they died. Suddenly and in a horrible car accident, so I came here for a fresh start in what I think is a beautiful state and city,” her words resonated with me and I felt for her. Impossibly not only was I attracted to Allison, but now my emotions were quickly becoming involved. What magic did this woman posses?
“I’m sorry to hear this about your family… and I would hope that Old Town can be that solace for you. But I cannot explain things yet, can you trust that I will eventually tell you?” my words were cryptic and she saw that.
“…Alright then…” she said and then sighed deeply. “Now I don’t even feel like unpacking honestly.
“Don’t feel that way, I can assure you that Old Town will be the home you want it to be,” I assured her and she held my gaze and eventually nodded. The air was heavy between us and even I could not identify why, until I found myself moving towards her. Then to both our surprise I bent my head and pressed a kiss to her lips, they were so soft and her scent enveloped me, she tasted sweet and I could only imagine what other parts of her tasted like.
“Oh my god I have to stop kissing my neighbors…” she broke the kiss abruptly and looked at me with wide eyes.
“Blayne…” I said and she nodded, her eyes were full of confusion and I wanted to end that for her, simply tell her that she was mine and be done with it all. Then I’d help her heal from the loss of her parents and give her the solace she sought.

Allison
After Alec left Blayne didn’t come back and I felt like it was some sort of sign. I couldn’t have both of them, but then what was I thinking? I’d just met them both and I wanted them? How weird was that? Blayne was quirky and funny and ridiculously hot and Alec was more intense and beautiful with his pretty-boy features that weren’t too feminine. In fact, he had a strangely close resemblance to James Dean. Same silky-blond hair too, but his eyes were the deepest shade of green.
Then there was the whole confusion about the town and after my few excursions to a couple of stores, the stares from people were enough to make me think that neither Blayne or Alec were exaggerating. I couldn’t make sense of my feelings about any of it. Worse, I was wondering if I should move back to Jersey or not…
“Allison?” Blayne knocked on the front door and I looked over from the kitchen, I had been pacing around and wondered what took Blayne so long to come back. When I answered the door I found him and Alec standing on my porch.
“Hey…guys…” I said, feeling slightly intimidated at the implications of them being together on my doorstep.
“We need you to come with us, we have some things… to talk about,” Blayne said, he sent an annoyed glance at Alec, who was simply standing by in a stoic stance.
“Okay, but where are we going?” I asked and Alec finally spoke up.
“To town hall, to speak with my father,” he said and I became beyond confused. I just didn’t know what to think.
“Why…” I began to ask why we were going to see Alec’s father, but Alec took my hand and Blayne closed the front door behind me. I wondered belatedly if I was being kidnapped. Then again both Blayne and Alec came across as sort of forward and take-charge.
“You’ll see when we get there…” he said softly and then Blayne caught up with us as we were walking towards a sleek black jaguar. Blayne put his hand at the small of my back and I had a feeling that I would soon be stuck between the personifications of a rock and a hard place. I was surprised that both Alec and Blayne got into the back with me and there was a driver up front.
“You really are the mayor’s son, huh?” I said to Alec and he smirked at me.
“Does that impress you?” he asked and Blayne snorted sarcastically.
“What a way to speak to a woman Alec,” he said and from then on I kept my mouth shut. Alec holding my hand still and Blayne with his hand on my knee a little possessively. Once we got to town hall they escorted me to the mayor’s office and a huge guy who looked a lot like Alec greeted us in.
“You must be the famed Allison, allow me to introduce myself, I am Orin,” he said and took my hand in a firm handshake.
“It’s nice to meet you, sir… I honestly have no idea why I’m here,” I said nervously and he laughed, then he gestured at Alec and Blayne.
“Well we have some things to share with you, which you will surely find shocking.” Orin gestured to Alec who closed the door and Blayne sat me down at one of the comfortable sofa chairs near a huge fireplace towards the right of the room.
“The world you know isn’t exactly… what you’ve been taught it is. Other beings—supernatural beings exist.” Orin paused after that strange opener and I glanced at Blayne, I almost wanted to laugh in disbelief. Surely this was some elaborate… joke?
“Like vampires… and werewolves and such?” I asked and Orin actually nodded. His expression was deadly serious, as were Alec’s and Blayne’s. “Wait… so this is where you tell me that you all are supernatural?” my voice was higher than it needed to be, thanks to shock, and my eyebrows couldn’t seem to lower.
“This town… is a vampire coven,” Orin said and it took a few beats of silence for that to sink in.
“I don’t know… if I should believe you,” I said truthfully and Alec caught my attention from my left. He held my gaze and I gasped when his eyes turned icy blue that seemed to glow and he opened his mouth to reveal sharp fangs elongating from his teeth. “Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god!” I said and jumped up from my chair. They let me pace around the room to deal with my shock, but I felt like cornered prey a little bit. The world had just expanded and taken on a new tint in my mind in a way that would never be the same.
“Allison, we have more to discuss,” Alec said and he crossed the room and held my gaze. His once deep green eyes were still icy blue, like Blayne’s naturally were, though they no longer seemed to have that inner light and his fangs were retracted. Alec pulled me back to the chair and I looked at Blayne who was standing still and simply watching me with anxiety in his eyes.
“Now, I’m sure you have questions and Alec and Blayne can explain our lifestyle to you, but for now we have a dilemma. My son and Blayne both want you for a mate.” Orin said bluntly and I actually wasn’t as shocked by that bit of information as I was for what came before it. “Of course for you to mate a vampire, you’d have to be changed into a vampire also I would give you the choice of choosing who you want to mate, if you’d like to have either male. Either would be a good choice,” Orin said, he spoke as if we were discussing pleasant weather or something.
“Is being mated like…being married?” I asked and he nodded.
“Essentially, yes,” he replied and leaned against the edge of the fireplace casually.
“And I’d have to be changed into… a vampire,” I said and Orin nodded. I stood up abruptly, shaking my head back and forth. “I’m not doing that, I was born human, a human is what I should be!” I said and Orin seemed as if he expected me to react differently.
“Perhaps you should take some time to think on this, yes?” he asked and I simply stared at him like he was crazy.
“We’ll take her home, thank you, Father,” Alec said and Orin inclined his head. Then, numb with shock, I was shuffled off back towards the car
and home. Alec and Blayne still on either side of me.

Blayne
Allison was quiet the entire ride back to her house. I could practically smell the shock emanating off of her. Even when I tried talking to her, it was like she didn’t hear me. Strangely enough when Alec and I got her safely home, we both stayed and she simply sat in the living room, deep in thought. Alec and I actually continued unpacking for her and she only spoke a few times when asked where she wanted certain things to go.
“So what do you think?” Alec had the audacity to speak to me, we were both in the kitchen, watching Allison. She was still in her veritable Thinker pose on the couch.
“What do you mean?” I asked him and he gestured to her.
“Do you think she’ll decide to be vampire?” he asked me and I took a deep breath.
“I’m not sure, would you still change her if she chooses me?” I asked and Alec fell quiet.
“I would…we are still friends I think. Currently we are friends who have attachments to the same woman,” Alec actually seemed sincere when he said what he did. I briefly entertained the thought that Allison could choose both of us, how would that turn out?
“Guys…?” she called us over and we were quick to her sides. Her expression was all wrong and I knew she was going to stick to wanting to be human.
“Before you say anything, let us at least explain some things about what we are first. Maybe turning into a vampire won’t be as bad as you think…” I told her and she sighed softly.
“Okay…what is being a vampire like?” she asked and then Alec and I launched into basically a sales pitch. Explaining to her that she could still eat normal food and her thirst won’t be too distracting, she doesn’t have to drink from humans directly, and feeding would only be like once a month. She’d have a considerably lengthened life span and heightened senses and such. Then we told her about vampire histories and how extensive our race was. Once we felt she knew everything we fell silent and she finally stood up from the couch.
“I um… that’s a lot to take in, I need to uh… I need to think about this more guys,” she said and I sighed.
“You’re killing me—hell you’re killing us,” I said and she threw her hands up in frustration.
“I don’t know what to tell you! Okay, yeah, becoming a vampire doesn’t sound so bad now, but the whole basis of me being changed is to pick one of you two for a mate. I can’t—I don’t think I can choose between you two,” she spoke in a torrent and I knew that every word she said was true. “I don’t know what it is about you guys… I actually have feelings for both of you,” she said on a sigh and I think both Alec and I stood up at the same time. I didn’t like to see her distressed especially because we were causing it.
“Don’t be upset over us Allison,” Alec said, he took her hand in both of his and kissed her knuckles. I caressed her arm and then rubbed her back and she leaned against me.
“Is there a way where I don’t have to choose?” she asked softly and Alec looked at me pointedly. I sighed deeply and then kissed her shoulder before I answered.
“Well I suppose Alec and I could agree to both be your mates,” I said slowly and she looked at me doubtfully.
“How would that work?” she asked and I shrugged.
“Well the mating ceremony does allow for multiple mates, or more specifically a mate and a consort. Plus, Blayne and I are friends, you just sort of shook up our worlds for a moment,” Alec said and I nodded when her eyes found mine.
“You can have the both of us if you really want us,” I said and she nodded.
“I do,” she said and then a moment later a grin stretched across her features. “Weird how I didn’t freak out when I said that,” she commented and I laughed.
“Now should we compete to see who will be mate and who will be consort?” Alec asked, funnily enough his expression was completely serious and Allison cracked up.
“Well I’m pretty sure that the decision is already made by circumstance, you’d have to be mate because you’ll be the leader of the… coven soon,” Allison was obviously trying to quickly get used to the idea of the entire town being one coven.
“So it’s settled then,” Alec said, a broad smile stretched across his face and Allison giggled, causing me to smile. The sound was musical and played on my senses.
“One thing though, you didn’t tell me if it would hurt or not…” she told him and he tilted his head to the side in question.
“The transformation,” she said and he glanced at me and then back at her.
“Well you can be distracted from the initial discomfort, but you would be unconscious for most of it,” Alec said and she nodded, seeming relieved.
“So we’re doing this?” I asked her, just to double check of course and she looked at both Alec and I before nodding.
“Yeah, we’re doing this,” she said confidently and then ensued the group hug. Only when Alec and I pulled away, I caught the scent of Allison’s arousal and had to smirk.
“Would you like to consummate our arrangement?” Alec asked, his voice a bit deeper than normal.
“Consummate…?” she asked and Alec pulled her towards him, his hands on her hips and kissed her deeply. “Oh…yeah, okay,” she said breathlessly.

Allison
A part of me couldn’t believe that I was actually doing this, agreeing to be turned into a vampire and mating two incredibly sexy vampires. But the idea of setting out on a whole new life was so exhilarating and the prospect of having Alec and Blayne at my side was even more exciting. So many avenues opened up, the possibilities were practically endless for what I could do with an extended life or like…over four centuries.
Then I became entirely distracted by Blayne’s lips at my neck and Alec’s hips pressed into mine while he kissed me with vigor. I felt his erection bulging in his pants and it pressed right against my core. Then I felt Blayne’s against my backside and they both pressed against me. Blayne was kissing and sucking in my skin, occasionally grazing his teeth on my neck. It felt like I was a conduit for pleasure and electric sensation. My nipples were tight and peaked and I had goose bumps all over my skin. Then Blayne’s hands slid underneath my blouse and he held my waist as he swiveled his hips, rubbing his erection against me.
My breathing kicked up a notch when Alec’s lips slid to my throat and collar and I moaned, spurring both of them on. My blouse was pushed up and over my head and it fluttered to the ground while Blayne unclasped my bra and Alec watched with hooded eyes. His hands slid along the curve of my waist restlessly and when my breasts bounced free his eyes began to lighten and glow. I could see the strain on his face to keep control. A low hiss bubbled up from his throat and then his lips were on my nipple while he pinched the other between his fingers. I gasped another moan and then laced my fingers with Blayne’s and slid his hand underneath the waistband of my tights and past my panties.
When his fingers met my wet folds I groaned and then pulled my own hand back so he could rub my clit while Alec sent sharp bolts of pleasure through me as he devoured my breasts. He wasn’t rough, but wasn’t light of touch by any means. When the first orgasm quaked through me it came in a sudden rush and both Blayne and Alec held me up while my legs liquefied. Then Alec pulled off my tights, panties, and shoes all in one motion. All I had on were a pair of socks. Which Blayne slowly got rid of once they had me stretched out on the couch. Then Blayne started to kiss my feet and rub my insteps with just enough pressure that I felt the sensation in my belly.
I moaned when he began to suck on my toes and then he slowly spread my legs and trailed kisses towards my core. I held my breath until Blayne’s mouth hovered over my sex and then his tongue slid out against my clit and I moaned with impatience and arched my back, wanting him to taste more of me. He groaned when lapped up my arousal and I saw his eyes begin to glow.
“I want to taste…” Alec spoke up, his voice hoarse and Blayne glanced up at him then kissed my w
et folds twice before he straightened and licked his lips. Alec came into my line of sight and I saw he was without a shirt. He was so defined and more powerfully built than I had first assumed. Alec’s fangs were visible, though he didn’t catch me or anything, when his mouth lowered to my sex I felt the silky warmth of his tongue and moaned softly. Then I felt Blayne’s hand take mine and wrap it around his warm, silky smooth hardness. My eyes flipped to him and I saw that he was completely naked, he was just as powerful and defined as I suspected and his sex was impressive as well. I stroked him in my hand and watched as he groaned and his muscles flexed and twitched as I brought him pleasure.
Then I felt Alec’s teeth graze my inner thigh and his fingers slowly sliding inside me. I looked down at him and he held my gaze. I knew he wanted to taste my blood and honestly I was curious to know what it would be like. When his fingers pressed against my g-spot I cried out and his fangs descended and punctured my skin. The sting of the bite didn’t last too long; it was like getting stuck with a needle. Then he started to draw blood from me and the feeling was surprisingly erotic. It augmented everything and soon another orgasm coursed through my veins and I called out Alec’s name.
Before I could orient myself after that dizzying orgasm I was suddenly on top of Blayne who was pushing my hair behind my ear and trailing feather light kisses from behind my ear to my throat.
“How do you feel?” he asked me hoarsely and I nodded, then he licked along my neck and gripped my bottom as I straddled him. “Guide me in Allison,” he whispered, and I reached in between us and gripped his shaft then slowly guided him into my core. It felt amazing having him fill me up and then he started to thrust and I became lost in the pleasure of having him so deep. I felt Alec’s kisses along my back and then his hands caressed my face and pushed my hair back. I reached for his straining sex and he stepped closer to me so that I could stroke him and bring him to my mouth. He hissed when my lips closed around him and then his hands fisted in my hair and he took to his own rhythm.
