Excerpt
“Get on the bed,” he commanded.
Mark climbed to the top of the bed obediently lying on his back. Niko looked down at the blank expression on his face as he waited for further instruction. A new wave of annoyance came over him when Mark’s flaccid penis caught his eye. Frowning, Niko flipped Mark roughly to his stomach. Hoisting him to his knees, he spread Mark’s cheeks and found his ass already slick with lube. Silently thanking Marshall, Niko shoved his cock into Mark’s hole without hesitation. Almost violently he pounded Mark’s sphincter forcing his climax to the surface.
It was out of character for him to take a lover so unceremoniously and rough, but his irritated state of mind refused to let him relent. His only solace was he knew the man would not remember anything of his time with Niko. The wine would see to that. Mark grunted from the force of Niko’s drives. Niko spotted the throbbing vein on Mark’s throat and moved faster. Moments later, Niko shot his load into Mark’s tight tunnel then sank his teeth into the pulsing vein with a muffled growl.
Thick, hot blood slid down his throat electrifying and replenishing him. His dick trembled with desire and relief as he drank. Once Niko had enough to sustain him he let Mark’s drained body fall to the bed unconscious. Niko rolled onto the bed pushing Mark to the other end. He stared at the ceiling for long moments catching his breath before leaving the bed.
“Marshall!” he called into the hallway.
Marshall appeared in the room a short time later. “Yes, sir.”
“Have him returned to where you found him,” Niko told him with a flippant wave indicating the man on his bed.
With a nod Marshall lifted the man from the bed and left. Niko slipped into his robe and paced. Though his body enjoyed making love to the young man it was not what his heart wanted. The men Marshall collected always sated his lust, but none of them satisfied his real need.
“Sir, is there anything I can do?” Marshall said behind him.
Niko stopped by the window and his shoulders slumped. “Marshall, I tire of all this.”
“Tire of what, sir?”
“How long has your family been with me, Marshall?”
“I believe I am the fourth generation, sir. I have decided to train my son Curtis to care for you when my time to retire comes.”
Niko chuckled and nodded. “Curtis, yes, I will do well in his care. He is already a strong willed and intelligent young man. Much like his father,” he added giving Marshall a small grin over his shoulder.
“How can I help, sir?”
Niko turned. “I am sick of the same routine, Marshall. I have been taking random lovers to my bed for far too long. I seduce men who enjoy the company of other men to my bed or drug the ones who don’t, either way I cannot have a relationship with them. After I feed I must erase their minds so they don’t remember my true nature. There was a time when that suited me fine, but lately I find that that is no longer true. Though your family has been with me for a long time, I am very much alone.”
“Surely you know of others like you out there.”
“Of course, there are vampires all over. Several years ago there were many right here in New York City, but I have not felt their presence for some time.”
“Can’t you look around for them? Maybe they’re still here somewhere near or just outside the city.”
“You would have me traipsing about, hopping from city to city and state to state looking for my brothers? I am not as young as I used to be. That is a task for a young vampire.” Niko rested his hand on Marshall’s shoulder. “No my friend. As much as I would like a mate, it seems I must come to grips that this mundane love life is all I will have and that I will go through eternity alone.”
Marshall nodded. “Yes sir. Would you like me to go back to the clubs tonight to keep an eye on things?”
“Why don’t you take the evening off? Let Dennis handle things tonight. You deserve a break,” he said forcing a smile.
“What are you going to do?”
Niko turned back to the window. “I will remain here…alone.”
Marshall’s footsteps moved toward the door. Niko heard the door open, but when it didn’t close he turned around.
“Sir, if I may, why don’t you come with me?” Marshall suggested. “There’s a club I have been wanting to speak to you about. It does very good business even on weeknights. I think it would be a good investment. We could go see it tonight together.”
Niko’s brow raised. “What better way to forget one’s personal issues than by focusing the mind on work, eh, Marshall?”
Marshall smiled. “Yes, sir.”
Niko nodded. “Very well, Marshall. Let me dress.”
