NYC Vamps: Roman: Vampire Romance

by Sky Winters

  “Oh, I don’t know. Hero complex. Or maybe I just think you’re cute.”

  Greg looked into Luke’s bright blue eyes in surprise. They sparkled mischievously. “But you wouldn’t like an old fart like me anyway. Has nothing to do with that. I guess I think it’s worth looking past differences sometimes. Not everyone is a fool. You gave me good vibes.”

  “Good vibes isn’t much to go on,” Greg said, laughing nervously. However, his heart was drumming wildly in his chest. The idea that this incredibly alluring man had somehow been attracted to him changed everything. He was single. He was comforting. And he was sexy.

  “To a wolf shifter, good vibes are everything,” Luke said seriously. “We sense things that you guys are oblivious to. I could tell you were afraid. I could even tell that you were a kind person with a high sperm count.”

  Greg grew red and a burst of laughter escaped his lips.

  “Are you being serious?” he asked, turning his wide green eyes onto Luke.

  “A wolf never lies.”

  “Is that true?”

  Greg had heard similar things before, but he had always taken it with a grain of salt. What kind of person never really lied? It seemed impossible. Then again, he supposed the whole idea of wolf shifters was kind of impossible. They had only been forced out of hiding a few decades ago, when humans were encroaching on their territory to build condos. In fact, the one Jorge had insisted they rent had once been a sacred ground to the wolf shifters. The whole thing had left Greg feeling uncomfortable, but Jorge loved it.

  “Stick around and find out for yourself,” Luke said.

  The man’s handsome face creased into a magnetic smile and Greg found himself drawn in. He seemed to have no will of his own anymore; just the simple longing to bask in the glow of this beautiful man. As if he could sense Greg’s feeling (indeed, he probably was able to do just that, Greg realized) Luke leaned in close, his eyes dancing with pleasure and mystery. Greg’s heart pounded when Luke’s lips finally touched his own and they were swept away by a tidal wave of desire.

  “You all right with this?” Luke asked, apparently just in case he had read Greg wrong.

  “Yes,” Greg whispered. Luke grinned and Greg moaned abruptly in pleasure as his hand plunged deep into Greg’s jeans. The fun was about to begin.

  Chapter 5

  Luke led Greg into his bedroom; a simple space with a handmade dresser and a comfortable bed with a blue blanket draped over it. The end table had an oil lamp and more books and pens, but before Greg could comment on that, Luke’s lips were pressed hard against his. The man was certainly assertive, and Greg found himself loving every second of it.

  Soon, Luke’s calloused hands were deeply submerged into Greg’s jeans again, gripping his hard cock and stroking expertly. He clearly had experience with pleasuring a man before, but Greg wasn’t about to complain. The old dog knew a lot of tricks that were new to him, and before Greg could register what was happening, Luke’s tongue was spiraling around the sensitive head of his penis, sending a blast of fire shooting through Greg’s loins.

  They moaned in unison as Greg grew harder under Luke’s touch and they both began to strip. Luke’s eyes widened as Greg’s muscular torso was revealed, and he tugged Greg’s jeans off for him. Greg’s erection was firm and tall, curving to his bellybutton. Luke gripped it with his lips as he tugged off his own pants and shirt, revealing his body to Greg.

  Greg had never seen a more beautiful specimen in all his life. Even Jorge, who had been the talk of the town for so long couldn’t compare. All of his friends couldn’t shut up about what a catch Jorge was. But it was only to Greg’s detriment for being swayed by Jorge’s charisma and self-importance. Luke was nothing like the modest, sexy wolf shifter who was giving him untold pleasures right that moment. Luke’s body seemed to know exactly how to move against his to bring him the most pleasure, and it was the single most erotic experience of his life.

  “I want you to go inside me,” Greg panted when Luke surfaced for air and grinned at the boy.

  “No you don’t,” Luke laughed, flipping Greg over and running the length of his massive, swollen shaft along Greg’s ass crack. They both moaned.

  “I do!” Greg exclaimed.

  “I guess I should have a condom floating around here somewhere,” Luke sighed, reaching to the drawer in his end table and retrieving protection.

  “Yes,” Greg hissed, watching Luke slip the rubber over his pulsing groin. He could still see the red tint of his member through the cloudy latex and soon Luke was behind him again, pressing gently against Greg’s opening and reaching around to fondle his balls.

  “Are you sure?” Luke asked. “You’ve never been with a shifter before. I’m kind of the big leagues. If you want someone to sweet talk you, you might as well get back on that fancy dating app you have and find someone your own age.”

  “Just do it,” Greg begged.

  “All right,” Luke said. Greg could hear his grin in his voice and the older man trailed his fingers along Greg’s sensitive back. “Anything you’d like.”

  Suddenly, Greg was crying out in a combination of pain and pleasure as Luke rammed himself completely inside of him. The suddenness of the gesture almost made him come right away, but Luke was experienced. He slowed his hips and dragged himself out slowly before entering again. It was enough to quell the climax but sent a hot fire through Greg.

  “Don’t stop,” he pleaded.

  “I have no intention to,” Luke said with a chuckle.

  The couple moaned as Luke began to speed his thrusts, prying himself into Greg’s most intimate of areas and bringing them both untold pleasure. Luke stopped for a moment, leaving Greg to feel his shaft pulsing in the heat of his hole as Luke fondled him, rubbing the head of his cock in small circles with his thick fingers.

  Finally, Greg gasped as Luke gripped him by the neck and held him firmly in place so that he could unleash all of his strength on the boy. Luke grunted with pleasure as he pushed inside Greg again and again, their bodies merging. He unleashed an animalistic roar as a superhuman surge of strength urged him onward. Greg was frozen at Luke’s mercy as the man used his body for all it was worth, pleasuring himself first and foremost, while at the same time making sure that Greg wasn’t left behind in the fun.

  Greg’s eyes widened and his entire body began to shudder as Luke let out an ear-piercing howl. He was coming, and coming hard. Greg’s eyes widened as he felt the liquid explosion, bursting through the confines of the condom that had broken with Luke’s intense passion. They both began to climax together, Greg into Luke’s open palm and Luke, still releasing stream after hot stream into Greg’s body.

  When he was finally done, Luke pulled away and they grinned at each other. Luke was panting but otherwise he looked as fit as a fiddle.

  “Oops,” he said, looking down at Greg’s abdomen. “You know, I asked if you were sure for a reason. Did you do your homework kid?”

  “Homework?”

  “Do you know anything about the ultra-fertility of my kind? The fact that men can get other men pregnant? The risks involved in intimacy with a wolf shifter?”

  Jorge had spoken time and again about how dangerous shifters were, but his ranting never had anything to do with unplanned pregnancy. Greg shook his head in bewilderment and Luke pointed down at Greg’s belly.

  “Look for yourself, kiddo.”

  “Stop calling me a kid!” Greg exclaimed, looking down at his abdomen. He cried out in surprise when he saw that it was already swollen and purple.

  “Yeah, looks like my seed likes you. Gestation is moving along quickly, even for shifter babies. That’s a good sign.”

  “I can’t be a father!” Greg exclaimed, scrambling to his feet.

  “Too late for that,” Luke laughed. He continued belly laughing as Greg ran from the room and into the bathroom, where he immediately began retching from the hard toll of pregnancy.

  Chapter 6

  Greg immediately wan
ted to go home. What had he been thinking, hooking up with a wolf shifter? It was the most reckless thing he had ever done in his life. But the strange thing was, when he was with Luke, Jorge was the furthest thing from his mind. Although he had originally wanted to hook up with a wolf shifter for revenge’s sake, somehow all of that went out the window when Luke was around. It didn’t feel forced or rebellious or dangerous. It just felt natural.

  A knock sounded suddenly at the bathroom door.

  “Go away!” Greg exclaimed, embarrassed that he had run from the room to be sick. He wished he was back in the safety of Marty’s apartment right now, where none of this would be happening. He looked down at his swollen purple abdomen and groaned. How could he show his face to anybody in this state?

  “Are you all right?” Luke’s textured voice asked. He sounded gentle compared to the other wolf shifters he had spoken to. He thought that bikers were supposed to be all hardass. Somehow he had found himself with one who was compassionate enough to save a total stranger and check up on him while he was puking in the bathroom.

  “I –“

  Greg’s voice cracked and Luke pushed his way into the bathroom, his lips pursed as if he were trying not to smile.

  “There now boy, it’ll be all right.”

  Luke pulled Greg into a bear hug and slapped his back. “It’s just those crazy wolf hormones messing with your body. You might cry off and on but it doesn’t make you less than a man.”

  Greg’s lower lip trembled and Luke laughed quietly, pulling away from Greg’s body and retrieving a cloth from the closet. He ran it under some cool water and wiped off Greg’s brow. It felt good, and made Greg dissolve into another irrational bout of crying.

  Luke sighed deeply and rubbed his back.

  “I’ll tell you a little story to take your mind off things,” he said. “Now I’m a construction worker. I own a company and was contracted to build a house for this guy. He was a real piece of work. Couldn’t stand him at first. Well one day he came by to check on the house and he howled out in pain. Had no idea what was goin’ on. So I went over to him wondering what in the hell was going on with him. Turns out he was in labor, and had been being a dick because of his hormones. Poor guy’s alpha had recently been killed by hunters so he was all alone and needed a place to raise his pups.”

  Greg listened, mesmerized by the story. He had never heard about the birth of shifter pups, and he was curious to know what it was like. Especially now that he apparently had some of his own growing in his stomach.

  “What happened?” Greg asked.

  “I’d never birthed pups myself, but long ago my mother, may her soul rest easy, was a midwife. I had seen her work a hundred times, and she spoke about it candidly enough that I knew just what was expected of a successful birth. I had the guy lay down, fetched the supplies. Fortunately, the house was just about done and had running water and everything we needed. We eventually managed to bring two pups into the world. A girl and a boy.”

  “Twins?” Greg said wistfully. “I’ve always wanted twins.”

  Luke’s eyes sparkled. “Well, they came out kicking, I know that. And their daddy was so happy. Said they looked just like his mate who had passed. It was a really moving experience. Anyway, they moved into the house where the babes were born and together they started a new life. It was a good thing there was a legacy left behind. Sometimes these things happen.”

  Luke grew quiet for a moment. Greg moved shyly beside him and Luke draped a heavy arm over his shoulder.

  “Feeling better kid?”

  “Yeah,” Greg said with a nod.

  “Good.”

  Luke led him back to the bedroom, where they both dressed. Greg was surprised when Luke offered him a brand new toothbrush and some comfortable pajamas.

  “Why don’t you shower. It will get your spirits back up. I’ll make us something special to drink. It’ll be good for the pups.”

  “Okay,” Greg said uncertainly. He disappeared into the bathroom again as Luke’s whistle quietly trailed off as he made his way to the kitchen.

  Chapter 6

  Greg re-emerged, feeling like a new man. It was nice to have the minty taste of toothpaste in his mouth, and he gently touched his swollen abdomen as he wandered through the unfamiliar house in search of Luke. He found the man sitting at a wooden table in the kitchen, two mugs of steaming liquid in front of him. They smelled very herbal, and Greg wasn’t sure if he liked that. They reminded him of the Chinese medicine stores he had lived near in the city before he had met Jorge.

  “Good to see you,” Luke said. “You look great. Glowing.”

  “Thanks,” Greg said, looking down at the floor with a blush. He had never considered the possibility that he would become pregnant, but somehow this was exactly what had happened. He had wistfully pretended once or twice during childhood that he could have his own babies, but this was something that took him by surprise completely.

  Luke patted the chair beside him and Greg sat down.

  “Bottoms up,” Luke said, picking up the mug and nodding expectantly at Greg. He picked up his own mug. It was warm, and he felt nervous butterflies in his stomach. What was it going to taste like?

  “Thanks,” Greg said, bringing the mug to his lips. He was surprised to find that the concoction was sweet, with only a small bitter flavor left as an aftertaste. It tasted really good actually, nothing like anything he had ever eaten before.

  “Any time,” Luke said with a wink. “What do you think?”

  “This is really good,” Greg said, smiling shyly at Luke. He seemed so strong and capable. Even if he was a biker, when he was at home he seemed to be laid back and ready for anything. Whether that was soft feelings or hard, he seemed like he would be a master of them. That type of wisdom was unbelievably sexy.

  “I’m glad you think so. That means the pups are taking well to it.”

  “What is this?”

  “Oh, trade secret,” Luke said with a wink. “Some herbs and stuff in a recipe that wolf shifters drink once in a while to keep their morale strong. Helps us grow and stay strong long beyond the lifespans we would have as normal wolves. That way we can keep up instead of dying before our time. Though the phrase ‘only the good die young’ might as well have been coined by one of our kind. Before this recipe was brewed up, it was hard for us to keep up with the humans in us.”

  “Wow,” Greg said, studying the mug. “So this will help the pups age well?”

  “That’s the theory. And look at me,” Luke said with a wink. “I’m getting some silver yet.”

  Greg’s heart fluttered from Luke’s attention but he tried not to let it. He didn’t want to let himself become too vulnerable. He had seen what the shifters were capable of, and now that he was pregnant with pups, did that mean that he would have to associate with them for the rest of his life? He wasn’t part of the pack, so where did that leave him? He wished he could call his friend. Maybe he would understand what it was like to be a normal human carrying shifter babies unexpectedly. But Alex was different. Alex had been obsessed with wolf shifters since they were in high school. It was no surprise to find that he had quickly immersed himself in wolf shifter culture, and somehow found the ideal mate for himself. No, maybe Alex wouldn’t be so comforting to talk to after all. He would simply rave about how perfect his life was now that he had achieved his dream of being accepted into a family of shifters.

  “Whiskey for your thoughts,” Luke said with a deep chuckle. Greg was startled and felt self-conscious at the idea of revealing what he was thinking to Luke. The man’s cool blue eyes were staring at him, full of mystery and amusement. What kind of things had they seen? He clearly led a much different life than anything that Greg would be able to relate to. Maybe he could just have the pups and leave them with Luke and return back to his normal life. Luke would know how to raise a shifter. He wouldn’t though. He would be a clueless father.

  “This is all kind of weird,” Greg admitted. “I never would have
imagined that something like this would happen to me. And I’m not sure how in the world I am supposed to raise a shifter baby. I’ve never done anything like this in my life.”

  “Don’t worry, you’re going to do fine. It’s one of the most natural things in the world. You’ll see.”

  “Yeah, but what if I mess up? Maybe it would be better if – “

  “Look, I know you’re scared. Most normal humans are terrified when this kind of thing happens to them. I’ve heard it all. Some guys even go a little bit crazy and start clawing at their bellies, doing horrible things to try to kill the pups so they don’t have to live with the mistake they made in thinking they could handle getting involved with our kind. All I ask is you don’t hurt the pups. Don’t hurt yourself. If you can’t handle it, be honest with me. But give it a chance first. I have a feeling we will be able to work through it together, you and me. If we give it a chance.”

  Greg stared at Luke and his eyes filled with tears.

  “Oh hell,” Luke laughed when he realized that Greg was crying again. “Here we go.”

  Luke pulled Greg into a big hug and Greg let it all out. He cried for what felt like an eternity, wetting Luke’s fresh white shirt as the man’s deep, rumbling voice soothed him.

  “It’ll be all right. Just stick with me for a while and we’ll see what happens. All right?”

  Greg sniffled.

  “All right,” he said. “I’ll stick with you.”

  ***

  When they finished their drinks and Greg had finally settled down a little, Luke led him back into the bedroom.

  “Now, it’s late and you have a lot to think about. I want you to sleep here for a while, all right? I’m gonna make a bed on the couch in case you start feeling hormonal or something. Might as well give you some space, especially on the first night.”

  “Okay,” Greg said. It made sense but for some reason, he really didn’t want Luke to go. He felt a small surge of panic at the thought of sleeping alone in the big room, but Luke’s mind was already made up. He packed up a blanket and a pillow and grabbed one of the sketchbooks from his bedside table.
