But it also provided another service that no other adoption agency in the country offered. For those adopted children who later, as adults, wished to find and meet their biological parents, Bloodlines assisted in making that happen. And for those biological parents who later wished to find and meet their children, the agency also mediated those situations and facilitated making the meeting between parents and the children they’d given up many years before.
Chance had been adopted and had wanted to meet his real parents all his life. His adoptive parents were supportive of that happening, but they couldn’t find any place that would help them do it. So, when it came time for Christiano to put in motion his plan of integrating vampires into human society, Chance suggested the founding of Bloodlines.
It hadn’t taken long for the vampire elders and community to come around to supporting Chris’s suggestions of integration. They’d been tired of their murderous and self-destructive existence for a long time and were hungry for some change. They welcomed Christiano’s leadership and his progressive thinking. When he’d suggested starting the adoption agency and having it staffed completely by vampires and knowledgeable humans, they’d eagerly accepted the plan and dedicated their money, time, and resources to its success.
Though he had no real desire to run the company, Chance reluctantly accepted the chairmanship—mostly because much of the business had to be done during the day, and the majority of the leadership in the company were vampires and worked at night. Christiano, of course, was the real leader of the company and was Chance’s most trusted and valued adviser and confidant. The frontline employees who worked during the day were all human knowledgeables who were dedicated to the survival of the vampire community and to their mission of integration and advancement of peaceful coexistence and goodwill endeavors.
It was six in the evening, and the shift change was just getting ready to take place. Chance stood outside the building for a moment, smiling at the outward symbol of the success of Bloodlines. Recently there had been talk among other vampire communities about opening branches in their respective cities. Vampires across the nation were openly talking about their own desires to bring about some of the positive changes that they were seeing in Denver. They were realizing they didn’t need to kill humans to survive. That most of them had more than enough knowledgeables in their communities who were willing to provide the blood that was needed to keep the vampires alive, without the death and destruction that they’d become accustomed to. And that coexisting with humans and sharing talents between humans and vampires meant more than just mere survival.
Chance walked into the building smiling and whistling.
“Good evening, Mr. Foster,” the cute blond receptionist said as Chance walked up to him.
“How many times do I have to tell you? It’s Chance.”
“Yes, sir,” the young man said. “But Mr. Montez is due here any minute, and you know how he insists on all of us calling you by your surname.”
Chance smiled. “Of course. But I won’t tell if you don’t.”
“Yes, sir, Mr. Foster.”
Chance winked at the blushing receptionist. “Please let Chris know that I’m in my office and am expecting him. But don’t let anyone else know I’m here, and whatever you do, don’t let anyone else enter my office.”
The receptionist blushed deeper and smiled and winked back at Chance. “Yes, sir. I’ll make sure you and Mr. Montez are not interrupted.”
“Thank you,” Chance said, and then started to walk away. He suddenly stopped just before the elevator. “Oh, yeah. I’m expecting Devin for a meeting at eight. Can you please just tell him I’ll meet him in his office when I’m done with my…meeting…with Chris?”
“Sure thing, Mr. Foster.”
“And bring me a bottle of champagne before Chris gets here, please.”
“Absolutely.”
Christiano opened the door and walked into the office without knocking.
“Chance, what’s up? Bryce said you needed to see me urg—” He stopped mid-sentence as he saw Chance, leaning against his desk, completely naked. He let his eyes wander the length of Chance’s naked body, lingering on the hard cock that jutted out in front of him. “Hmmm, I see what’s up.”
“I just couldn’t wait until later tonight,” Chance said as he walked up to Christiano and handed him a glass of champagne. “I need you to know how much I love you.”
“I know how much you love me,” Christiano said as he took a sip of the champagne.
“Then I need to know how much you love me,” Chance whispered.
Christiano smiled and unzipped his pants, freeing his already hardening cock. Then he wrapped his free hand around Chance’s hard cock and led him over to the sofa in one corner of the office.
Author Bio
Sean Wolfe has had over fifty erotic short stories published in almost every gay skin mag on the market over the past five years. Thirteen of those stories have been reprinted in the erotic anthologies Friction (volumes 3, 4, 5, 6, and Best of Friction), Twink, My First Time Vol. 3, and Three the Hard Way.

A single-author anthology of Sean’s erotic short stories is scheduled for publication by Kensington in early 2005.
Though much of Sean’s writing is erotic, he vehemently denies being a sex fiend and spends much of his free time trying to convince others of that fact. To date, woefully, he has not been very successful.
Sean does hold down a legitimate full-time job as Volunteer Coordinator for Colorado AIDS Project and is very active with his church, the Metropolitan Community Church of the Rockies.
