The Vampire Next Door

by B. A. Stretke

  In the end, he decided to go with his gut and follow Hadden's advice and chase the feeling. His connection to Stanley went beyond looks or tastes, it was deep, and it left him shaking when he thought of not having the little man in his life. Stanley understood him from the get-go, and he filled that void Iker had carried for so many years. He had to find him, and he had some apologizing to do.

  He was told how to get to the room Stanley was using, and he didn't want to wait any longer. He took the elevator to the fourth floor and found the room. He stood staring at the door for a few seconds before knocking. He could feel Stanley inside the room, he could feel his despair and he knew it was coming from Stanley.

  They had a connection now, one that would telegraph needs, emotions, and state of mind and body. It would continue to grow and become more centered once their bond was complete according to Hadden.

  He'd touched on the whole claiming thing only briefly, but Iker got the picture and he heartily approved of the process. He raised his hand to knock again just as the door flew open and standing there, looking gorgeous enough to eat, was his beloved Stanley, the man of his dreams. He smiled and stepped into the room just as Stanley launched himself into his arms.

  Iker caught him easily and planted a desperate kiss to his lips as he held him close. Stanley suddenly started to pull away and Iker was having none of that. He tightened his grip and kicked the door closed behind him.

  "Iker, you're hurt. You shouldn't be lifting me." Stanley was worried, but Iker was fine Stanley's blood along with Dr. Langley's care had put him back on his feet and then some.

  "I'm fine, don't worry my love," Iker said while moving his kisses to Stanley's ear and nibbling the plump lobe.

  Stanley reached up and cupped Iker’s face in his hands and stared into his eyes trying to read what he was thinking, and he could feel his desire and his delight. Iker slowly let Stanley slid down his body until Stanley was on his feet.

  He continued to hold him and stroke him needing the closeness and the touch of his beloved. Stanley understood completely because he needed the same. Being away from Iker for all these hours had been pure torture, but the disbelief has left his eyes, and the agitation has left his words. Iker understood.

  “What happened.” Stanley smiled and couldn’t take his eyes off the most handsome man alive. “I thought I drove you away with my crazy talk. I’m sorry I didn’t deal with it better. I thought you would respect the unadulterated truth.”

  "You shook me up a bit, I won't lie, but through it all, I could see your honesty." Iker kissed him hard but brief and then smiled. "Even when I thought you were crazy, I still wanted you, craved you."

  "I thought I scared you off," Stanley repeated.

  “Master Hadden and his Second, Josef McQueen visited me and explained further and more clearly what you were trying to make me understand. I get it, I don’t totally understand it all, but I believe you and them.

  "This is remarkable, that such has been going on right beside us since the beginning, and so few are aware." Iker started moving Stanley backward one step at a time while maintaining intensely erotic eye contact.

  “You believe me?”

  “I believe you.”

  “You know that you are my beloved and what that means?”

  “I know and I have a rough idea.”

  “No questions?”

  “Maybe later, right now I want you to claim me.”

  Stanley grabbed Iker’s shirt and quickly removed it. He was checking the injuries very carefully running his fingers over the ridges of the now newly formed scars. Stanley looked up at him with a sparkle in his eye and turned and ran to the bedroom. Iker was on his heels in a second.

  Stanley's excited giggle had Iker's heart soaring and his cock throbbing what an experience. Stanley jumped onto the bed, and Iker quickly followed and soon all clothing was discarded, and a slow exploration of touch and taste began.

  Stanley reached between them and took hold of Iker's hard member and stroked tightening he grip rhythmically bringing the heat and the friction to life. He rolled on top of Iker and kissed him hungrily feeling all the pent-up fear and anxiety draining away and the pleasure of connection taking over.

  He straddled Iker's waist and pressed his ass down trapping his throbbing cock. Iker thrust his hips up to increase the pressure causing an erotic moan to escape Stanley's lips. He dropped down on top of Iker and kissed his shoulder and chest paying particular attention to one nipple, teasing biting sucking until Iker flipped them and now, he was on top.

  "You need to spill inside me," Iker stated, and Stanley nodded slowly. "I'm not a bottom usually, but I'll do this for you." Iker stared at him, and Stanley saw the emotions written so clearly there. Iker wanted him, wanted forever with him. Stanley was light-headed at the idea of being loved like this by such a wonderful man. "Loosen me up, take care of me, lover." He said and rolled to his back and spread his legs.

  Stanley went to work immediately taking Iker's cock into his mouth and savoring the flavor and the smooth, silky texture. He closed his eyes and began to moan with each such excitement and enthusiasm that Iker began to thrust into his mouth going deeper and deeper.

  At the same time, Stanley took his right hand and slipped it between Iker's legs and pressed into the crease to find the tight puckered hole. The meaning and significance of this act was enormous, and Stanley did not take Iker's gift lightly. He would please him, Iker would be flying before this night was over.

  Iker placed his hand on the back of Stanley’s head unable to resist thrusting into that perfect little mouth and searching for the satisfaction that lay on the edge of everything he was feeling. He wasn’t going to last long the buildup was happening rapidly, he tried to hold off, but it was useless when someone like Stanley Binkman had his lips wrapped around your cock.

  The end came quickly when Stanley entered him with his fingers and plunged inside. Iker came with a roar and Stanley struggled to keep up swallowing rapidly but failing to contain it all. Iker was panting and running his fingers through Stanley's hair as he shook and trembled. Stanley's fingers never stopped hitting his pleasure spot repeatedly and causing spots to appear on the periphery of his vision. He was pretty sure Stanley was going to fuck him into unconsciousness.

  Stanley stretched and prepared his beloved knowing that the man probably never had a cock in his ass before. Stanley wasn't large, but still, he wanted his lover flying and not in any kind of pain what so ever. He used a generous amount of Iker's own seed to lubricate and ready his partner. He moved between Iker's legs and hovered over him looking him in the eyes and gauging his readiness before lining up the head of his cock and pressing to the entrance of Iker's throbbing hole.

  All it took was a nod from Iker and Stanley plunged inside. Stanley was suddenly transported to another place of need and a driving demand to give it all and to take what was offered. There was no stopping, no thinking just experiencing and riding the wave of pure sensation. He hammered into Iker with a speed and intensity he never knew he was capable of. The vampire was taking over, and he felt his teeth dropping preparing to mark and claim and the need to do so was irresistible.

  He could hear Iker moaning and breathing hard and his heartbeat was echoing in Stanley's brain when he rammed hard and went as deep as possible and emptied into his beloved filling him with his seed, his essence marking him inside. Then in a split second, he dropped down and sunk his fangs into the tender flesh just above Iker's left nipple drawing the flesh up into his mouth and sucking hard feeding from his beloved and sealing their bond and their souls.

  Iker was shocked by the sheer force and power that Stanley exhibited, and his visage was startling and beautiful as the vampire owned him body and soul. The bite was pain that morphed immediately into the most erotic thrill of his life and without cause, Iker came again drenching them both. Iker held tight to Stanley as he slowly came down from heights he'd never visited before.

  Stanley withdrew his fan
gs and licked the wound until it was a lovely scar and moved to pull out when Iker tightened his hold. "Stay right there for a few minutes." He said without further explanation, but Stanley understood he was feeling it to the connection and the love. It was there, and it was growing.

  Stanley lay down on top of Iker with his head cradled against his chest and he just breathed and listened to his heartbeat. The sensations rushing through him began to subside and the reality of the moment set in. He claimed his beloved, Detective Iker Dawson belonged to him. His dream of love and devotion and having a partner that supported and respected him was all coming true in the form of this often silent but ever so loving giant of a man.

  They showered together, and Stanley got to experience the gentle touches and loving care of his beloved. Iker was thorough cleaning every inch. His hands were soft yet calloused, gentle yet firm. It was both relaxing and invigorating, Stanley looked forward to a lifetime of this tenderness and devotion.

  "You're quite strong as demonstrated by the manner in which you eliminated the wolf," Iker stated later as they lay together in bed holding one another. "So why did you let Anthony push you around?"

  “I wanted to make a good impression. These are your friends.”

  “Were, Anthony and I are no longer. I never knew he had such a propensity for jealousy and hate.” Iker’s voice was tensing and his arm that he had around Stanley holding him close tightened considerably.

  “Jealousy?”

  “Yeah, he was jealous of your success and jealous of Nik Hadden. He was bothered by anyone who was doing better than him. What a hell of a way to exist.” Iker dropped a kiss to Stanley’s head and Stanley dropped a kiss to the scar just above Iker’s left nipple causing a shiver and a lovely moan.

  “Usually the claiming bite is placed on the area between the neck and shoulder, but I wanted my mark to be here,” He touched the scar. “Near your heart. I want to stay close to your heart forever. I love you Iker.”

  “You are my heart, Stanley and know that I love you too.” He lifted Stanley’s face and kissed him thoroughly leaving no doubt as to his love and affection.

  "Master Hadden filled me in on most of it, but he said you'd give me the details." Iker tucked Stanley close in a possessive embrace. "Is there anything important that you think I should know?"

  “Were you aware that your friend Detective Grant Dorsey is a wolf shifter?” Stanley said matter of fact and Iker visibly jerked in surprise.

  “What the fuck?”

  EPILOGUE

  Stanley asked Iker not to confront Grant with his new knowledge but wait for Grant to come to him. "He knew what I was and never tried to dissuade you from seeing me. He's a good man, and now that he knows we're together he'll know that you can be trusted with his secret. He'll come to you." Stanley assured him.

  Detective Anthony Brabant transferred to Harrisburg no longer feeling comfortable in Pittsburgh or around Iker. Iker was glad he left not wanting the man anywhere near Stanley. He and Stanley moved into Stanley’s home and Iker sublet his place to Grant. It was great having his friend next door and his beloved in his bed. Life for the newly bonded couple was pretty great.

  Iker turned over his theories and investigative casework regarding the break-ins to Josef for review in hopes of getting information on what was moving into the area. If the Hadden Coven didn’t know what was moving in, then it was a serious situation and a secret worth going after.

  Following the ceremony celebrating Stanley and Iker’s bond and Iker’s presentation and induction into the Hadden Coven, Nik and Josef took some time alone to relax on the balcony level of the Club and appreciate the depth and breadth that the Coven has been enjoying with the new recruits.

  “Fate has been kind to this Coven.” Nik was the first to comment.

  “Having a member in a detective position in the police department is an absolute gift.” Josef agreed.

  “He’s a good man, smart, decisive, thoughtful, intuitive and most of all open minded. He’s turned out to be a great fit for us.” Nik added.

  “So, what do you think about the information he gave us. Do you believe it is just Ramsey who is involved?” Josef referred to Iker’s report on the break-ins and burglaries taking place in their neighborhood.

  “Ramsey is doing the leg work, clearing the area picking up the properties but he’s working for someone else.”

  “No word yet on what’s moving into the area. I have Easton working on it.”

  “Have our acquisitions department start buying up the properties. Double whatever Ramsey is offering. If we get into the action, we may find out who they are and what they want.”

  “Will do.”

  "I love this town, never a dull moment," Nik stated and downed his whiskey.

  “Pittsburgh.” Josef agreed and finished his wine.
