Die For You

by A. Sangrey Black

  “Oh fuck, Jen. I’m gonna come. Christ, come with me!”

  Jensen obeyed instantly, taking hold of his dick and jerking with a blinding speed that turned Gage on even more.

  “Gage! Oh, holy God, please, may I drink you? I want to taste you come.”

  “Yes. Do it. Bite me.”

  It all happened at once; the first spurt of Gage’s hot cum inside his partner’s ass, that tearing pain/bliss of Jensen grabbing him by the hair and ripping into his throat. Those greedy gulping noises as the vampire drank, edged with that whimper as he shot over their stomachs. It went on forever, this maelstrom, and Gage understood how Jensen could think he would die of it. He felt like he was, and he wanted to. His body jerked and spasmed with the overload until he couldn’t move anymore. One last deep, hard thrust, and his body froze, completely rigid before he collapsed on his partner, utterly spent.

  Jen retracted his fangs and gently licked the wound closed. The hand in Gage’s hair gentled, petting him over head, neck, and sweaty back. “I’m in love with you, Gage.”

  Gage didn’t have the energy to be surprised. “I’m glad. I’d look like a pretty big jackass if you didn’t.”

  “Why?”

  “Because… I… oh, shit. I love you too.” It make him feel like he was made of cellophane, like if Jensen looked hard enough, he could see Gage’s internal organs. His bones and muscles. Maybe his soul. He hated that. Especially the last part.

  Jensen laughed and held Gage close. “Aw. Don’t worry, we’ll fix your emotional damage yet. All you need is some TLC.”

  “Oh, ew. Get your vampire girl cooties off me.” Gage withdrew from Jensen, pulled off the condom and wrapped it in its original pack before setting it on the nightstand for later disposal, then returned to snuggle up against Jen’s shoulder. “Nobody says TLC but people’s mothers.”

  “Did you ever think you have issues with being vulnerable?”

  Gage picked his head up only enough to give Jen a look. “Did you ever think you’re the weirdest vampire in the universe?”

  “You know a lot of us, do you?”

  “Touché. Well, if TLC means ‘many nights of hot sex,’ I’m there.”

  “Deal,” Jensen agreed.

  It was so easy, so natural now. They shifted without speaking until Jensen was stretched out full length on the side of the bed where Gage had been sleeping earlier, and Gage fit right into the nook under his left shoulder. The feeling of his new lover’s hand brushing slowly up and down his arm lulled him easily back into rest.

  All in all? Considering the ultimate result, almost dying was definitely not the worst thing that ever happened to him. Yeah, maybe his vampire had turned out to be a giant squishball sub who wanted to play love psychiatrist, but… if he had to admit it, that might have been exactly what Gage was looking for all along. The polar opposite of what they did for a living. He slipped into dreamland feeling full and content, the vampire he loved wrapped around him like a blanket of promise for the future.
