The Ties that Bind
By: Minyaagar Date: February 20, 2026, 11:10 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Kaius was amped up, adrenaline, alcohol and the need for a new
lover surging through him and propelling him into the busy night
club. He wasn't scheduled to work that night; but he knew no one
would mind him showing up off the clock. His fae magic always
came in handy with attracting more customers and making them
more generous than normal.
He sidled up to a tall red haired man and began flirting,
touching the man and actively trying to seduce the man.
He could feel eyes on him, but he was used to that. Plus he did
have on a eye catching outfit that looked to have been doused in
glitter.
The man's female partner returned and pulled him away, shooting
a glare at Kai, making him laugh a bit. "Oh honey, best get over
yourself. Your guy is fine as hell, and he was close to taking
me to the back and fucking me. " Kaius called after her and
laughed again.
"Hey Rafe, pour me another vodka martini!" He called to the
bartender, then turned around to peruse the crowded club for
another potential one night stand.
-++++
It was hard getting used to this new lifestyle. Sure, he was
already a night owl, he had his best ideas at the witching hour,
but after only three months of unlife... he already missed the
sun. Everything in life was now so intense, and yet so dull.
Having to be the *servant* of the creep who turned him against
his will put even more of a damper on his usual broody mood.
Osiris didn't even realize where his feet were taking him. It
seemed his hunger was guiding him tonight, right to the
nightclub his master had taught him to hunt. The elder vampire
telling him, *"humans overdose all the time in those places, as
long as you seal the wound, no one will suspect a thing when
they find a body!"* It made him sick thinking about it.
Watching the monster kill that innocent human. He didn't get
pulled from his thoughts until a bouncer asked him for his ID.
Osi scrambled for his wallet, patting all of his pockets before
pulling it out and handing out over without a word. Only giving
a nod when he was given it back and allowed inside.
He wasn't going to be his master. O would survive without
murdering people just to feed himself. All negative thoughts
fled the fresh vampire's mind when he spied a stunning man,
already tipsy and freshly turned away by a handsome redhead.
He followed after the stunning specimen, hanging back as he
watched the man get a drink. He was already mentally pealing
away those glittery tights when he realized he was caught
staring. Rather than look away, he went for it, strolling up to
the bar and taking a seat right next to his newest target.
"You enjoying yourself?" He asked as he looked at the ma. Out of
the corner of his eye.
----
Kaius felt many pairs of eyes on him, but that wasn't new. He
tapped his foot as he looked over several men that were oogling
him openly and lustfully. There were a few that could
potentially please him, but his attention was drawn almost
instantly to the gorgeous black haired, lean man that sat down
next to him.
Now this was much more his type. A bit broody looking, a bit
intense in the eyes, and not quite focused on him. Like the man
was playing hard to get, though he'd come over to Kai.
Kaius grinned caught the glass Rafe slid down the bar top to him
and took a sip as he looked the man over slowly.
"I sure am now, handsome," Kaius flirted with a wide grin,
reaching over to run his fingers down the other's closet arm.
"I'd be up to having more fun with you somewhere more private."
--+++
A wide grin spred across Osiris's lips at how willing the
gorgeous glitter bomb of a man was to get alone with him. "Fun?
Hmmm I don't know, what if you are a crazy serial killer?"
Osiris playfully teased before getting out of his seat, giving
the man a playful smirk. Almost toying with the guy. "If you
find me again, I'll give you a little prize," he teased before
backing away and then turning to go back into the crowd. It
brought a whole new thrill the the chase when his prey were the
ones doing the chasing.
It didn't take long for the vampire the maneuver through the
dancing crowd and finding a back room that was empty with
several massive couches and tables. He was already thinking
about who would be the one doing the fu.cking when this game of
hide and seek was over.
-----
Kai chuckled, amused by the man's teasing. If he knew what Kaius
was, he'd probably realize that his guess wasn't too far off.
Some of the darker fae did get their kicks from killing or
torture.
"Nah, I'm more of a serial fu.cker," Kai replied.
His eyebrows rose a bit when the man challenged him to find him.
"Challenge accepted, I'll even give you a headstart," he replied
with a wink, watching the man back up and then turned to finish
off his drink.
This guy was pretty clueless to the fact that Kai had already
marked him. He could have tracked the man down to the end of the
world if he wanted to. He wondered idly what sort of prize he
might earn.
Once he'd finished his drink, Kai paid Rafe and turned to search
for the man. It did take more than five minutes to find the back
room where the man was waiting.
"Found you," he purred as he stepped into the room, and then
locked the door behind him. "I had a feeling i'd find you here,"
Kaius added as he moved closer to the man and ran his hands up
the other's front slowly in a teasing manner.
"Can I pick my prize?"
---++
Osiris was leaning against the table, facing the door. A wide
smirk coming to his lips when his prey arrived, far faster than
he had expected, but maybe this was a common hook up area. "Hmmm
depends on what you want as a prize," the vampire purred as he
let his hands settle on the man's hips, pulling him closer so
their lips were only inches from touching.
"Tell me, what is it you desire?" Osiris asked seductively,
grinding their hips together to tease the man with the friction.
---
Kaius grinned, and then bit his lip at the purred words and the
hands on his hips. He didn't fight the other man's pull, and
closed his eyes letting out a soft groan.
"Such a tantalizing voice, and question," Kai murmured back. "I
want you..deep inside me. But first, what name do you want to
hear me crying out?" He asked in an equally seductive tone,
letting out just a little of his magic to draw the man in
further.
"When we get to the fucking part, no holding back. I want
everything you can give me. Just don't break the skin," he added
and leaned in to steal a kiss.
------
The vampire couldn't help the shiver that went through him at
the man's words, suddenly unable to hold back his desire to
ravage the sexy human. "Osiris. What about you?" He asked before
his breath was stolen away as the needy man against practically
demanded O not hold back, but even sealed his demands with a
kiss.
"How can I say no when you ask so sweetly..." The preditor
growled darkly as he reclaimed those lips. It was far to easy to
get lost in that kiss, especially considering O didn't need to
breathe. His hands made quick work of the man's clothes before
bending him over the massive table.
Osiris got on his knees behind the man, first preparing him with
his mouth and then fingers, realizing the man didn't need much
prep be spread the man's legs, licking up the exposed member
before he stood up and settled himself behind the handsome
creature below him.
"Ready?" He asked, pressing his tip against the man's entrance,
shoving himself inside without waiting for an answer and began
to ravage the man, probably much more vigorously than any human
could manage.
-----
Kai dragged out the kiss, running his hands up Osiris's sides
and back, grabbing onto the other's shirt.
"Kai, and thank the gods," he rasped out and moaned happily when
his mouth was reclaimed in an even deeper kiss.
His body was already revved up and ready to go by the time his
clothes were gone. He helped where he could, pulling the
Osiris's pants open and shoving them down, and practically
ripping the man's shirt off.
"You don't...oh gods," he breathed out, feeling the man's tongue
in him, and then fingers shoved inside. His head fell back,
exposing his neck as his new lover licked up his aroused member
Kai didn't have a chance to answer the question, letting out a
loud cry as he was completely filled.
"Yes! Fuck me Osiris!" He cried out, wrapping his legs around
the other's hips and reached down to pleasure himself.
The pace Osiris set was mind numbingly amazing, and far more
intense than anyone he'd ever been with before.
"Oh gods yes! More!"
-----
Kai's cries pushed Osiris to entirely let go and claimed the
man's body, plowing into him as hard as he could as his fingers
tangled into the man's hair and pulled hard, exposing the man's
neck. He planted a kiss first before his fangs dropped and he
bit down, piercing the guy's neck.
Just the taste of this guy's blood nearly made him peak right
there, causing him to thrust even faster, filling his temporary
lover's body with his seed. He almost couldn't stop himself from
drinking and had to pull himself back , locking the wound when
his fangs retracted with a wide look in his eyes when sat up,
staring down at the man.
He wasn't human. No human blood tasted *that* good.
-----
Kaius' cries of pleasure grew even louder, his hand going faster
over himself as Osiris fu.cked him even harder. He could almost
see stars in his vision as the pleasure built and got even
closer to an orgasm.
The kiss to his neck didn't quite register but the piercing pain
from the fangs sure did. "Oww...what the hell?" Kai cried out in
shock.
That pain brought him over and he came hard covering their
bodies a moment later. Kai lay there a mess, panting hard, and
shivered at the tongue licking over the fang bites. He stared up
in equal amounts of shock at Osiris.
"So...you're a vampire?" He asked, his eyes flashing brightly,
and glowing just a bit.
His body still ached and tingled from what had happened. A part
of him wanted more, but his more logical side was screaming at
him to make a run for it.
----
The legs wrapped around his waste kept Osiris in place as the
vampire's eyes widened even more seeing the magic in the fae's
eyes. "Yes, you aren't human either... I've... never tasted
blood like that...." He admitted. Though he had only been turned
for a three short months, he knew he would never forget that
taste.
He pulled himself free of the magical man and reclaimed his
clothes. "You have me at a disadvantage, you know what I am, but
I have no idea what you are..." He said, once he was redressed
and his clothes fixed back to how they needed to be.
"I would like to stay and chat, and as amazing of an experience
that was, I'm still hungry. Few mouthfuls here and there don't
exactly go far. I'll see you around..." the man said, deciding
he needed to get away before this magical man lashed out over
stolen blood.
He used his vampire speed to leave, giving the illusion that he
just vanished. Osiris spent the rest of his evening hunting, but
u able to get the taste of Kai off his lips. Human blood tasted
bland in comparison.
-----
Kaius was a bit surprised that the vampire hadn't noticed or
realized what he was. Most vampires knew and avoided his kind,
fae blood causing an addiction for them. This vampire must be
pretty new and still learning.
Kai let out a loud groan as Osiris pulled out of him, seed
spilling and watched the vampire get dressed. "I'm fae born,"
Kai replied, his eyes flashing a bit more as he reached up to
touch his still sore neck.
He grimaced as he moved up and off the table and started
searching for his own clothes. Kai glanced up at the others
words, feeling an odd sense of loss as the vampire vanished.
"Well that's a new one, a lover leaving me," Kai sighed as he
pulled his clothes on. The sex had been more than amazing, but
only seemed to scratch his horny itch.
He went back out, unleashing more "come hither" vibes to attract
more potential lovers, hoping to get the vampire out of his
thoughts.
12 hours later, he woke in a high rise apartment entangled with
several men and feeling quite sexually frustrated. It seemed no
matter how much sex he had with humans, his body just kept
wanting more. No human could replicate what the vampire had
done, and Kai knew he wasn't going to last too long without it.
"God damn vamp ruined me," he muttered to himself as he got
cleaned up in the shower and "borrowed" some fresh clothes from
the owner of the apartment.
He pulled his phone out of his now ruined pants and called a
sort of friend and lawyer he knew.
"Hey Gabe, can we meet? I have something I need an opinion on.
It's a long story, so we could do lunch if you have time today,"
While Kai could have just tracked the vampire down, he was a
little worried about if he'd be able to even commit to one
person. It seemed almost a curse to him, to be thinking so much
about Osiris and wanting him so badly. Maybe something strange
had happened between them. Perhaps there was a reason why it was
forbidden for Fae and Vamps to be together. Gabe might know more
about it.
-----
Gabrielle was sleeping soundly in bed after having hot sex with
his fireman husband in bed. His tattoo of his wings on his back
being the indicator of what he was.
His phone woke him up with an annoying ring. Gabe grumbled at
first being it was his last day of vacation and wanted to enjoy
it entertwined with his lover. Once he got free of the man’s
grip got the phone on the night stand.
“Hello Gabrielle speaking” he said sleepily. He heard kai and
blinked.”yeah… sure lunch…” he said to grunt a bit as he got
up.”you better pay this time.” He said as he managed to slip
away to pad his way to the kitchen slowly closing the door
behind him quietly to not wake Rhys.
He got coffee started and then asked.”mind giving me a rundown
at least?” He asked.
-----
Kai wasn't all that surprised by Gabrielle's insistence on him
paying. He moved to rifle through the men's wallets, pulling
several bills out so he'd have money for lunch. It wasn't likely
they'd miss the money, too blissed out on fae sex to remember
more than their names when they woke.
"Not a problem," Kai said smoothly and then slipped out of the
apartment and headed to the club to gather up his meager
belongings.
Being constantly on the move, he usually stashed his bag of
things at his work. A part of him did long for a place to settle
down, but he pushed it far down.
"I ran into a vampire last night," Kai sighed heavily into the
phone. "Now I'm having problems, sex with humans isn't working
anymore to satisfy me,"
-----
Gabrielle sat back on the bar.”did you use your powers of
persuasion without really getting to know the guy again?” He
asked in the phone. “I keep telling you one day your gonna pull
someone in and your not gonna get enough…” he said as he saw the
coffee finish being made to pour it.
----
Kai let out a rather long sigh at Gabe's question and ran a hand
back through his short hair.
"Yeah, well it didn't stop him from biting me. Still...is it
going to be bad for him? Is there a reason why we're told to not
intermingle?"
Just talking about being bitten had his neck ache in memory and
his pulse get faster.
"What should I do? I can't just walk away. Forgetting him isn't
in the cards,"
-----
Gabe made his own long sigh.”there was- your blood is compared
to no other to a vampire. Pretty sure the guy will eat and
realize that the others taste bland or bad to him. Think there
was a point where a fae did die by a vampire that couldn’t
control themselves and drained the guy dry. The fact that one
held back is good…” Gabrielle made a small face. “Plus it’s an
issue of who is in control- most bit and ate from become their
blood banks, servants… thralls basically. But on the other hand
given he bitten you, and obviously becomes addicted- had he been
human would cater to you. This is a special case- may need to
draft a contract that allows the both of you to benefit.. an
arrangement if you will. But it means lots of counseling too-
courts won’t allow it unless you go with it.” He said.
-----
Kai was already getting a headache from everything Gabe was
saying. And yet, he knew what he was going to do next. He had
just needed someone to listen while he reasoned things out.
Of course, given how quick Osiris had pulled back and vanished,
it might be hard to convince the vampire to make a contract with
him.
"I may need your help convincing him that this is a good idea,"
he sighed, knowing Gabe would find it amusing that he'd met
someone with his own issue of being flighty.
"He barely got a mouthful before he was pulling away and
disappeared,"
----
“So he bit and ran.” Gabrielle started to chuckle.”well if we
find him could tell him that given he took blood and ran off
that he stole it.. could force him to realize he can be locked
up for a while or do the counseling.” He said “but no promises
if he at the end of it decides it’s a no and takes off. Or you
can just ask to bed the guy again.” He said as he chuckled more.
-----
Kai hated to resort to using the law against Osiris, but the
threat of jail might actually help at first. "Yeah," he sighed
and headed down towards a busier street to catch a bus to the
club. "I can find him easily enough, just don't want to scare
him off. I think he's pretty new as a vampire, might not even
know how things work yet. I understand, I can't really force him
to be with me. I'll look for him tonight, see what I can do. I
guess we don't have to meet up, but we should get together
sometime soon,"
Kai didn't really have all that many friends, so having Gabe as
one meant a lot to him. Though it had been several months since
they'd last spoken.
-----
The fall of the sun spelled the rise of the undead as Osiris
rose from the coffin he had to sleep in. He didn't entirely get
it, but when he asked his master questions they would only tell
him "understanding will come with time my pet," making the
novice vampire even more depressed than usual.
He woke with a more intense craving for blood than he was used
to. The thought of his fangs sunk into Kai's neck, the taste of
his blood. It stirred intense desires to see the man again, but
he knew it would be a bad idea. He could lose control and drain
the man. He already underfed himself due to his feeding method,
so this new craving was hard to deal with.
His night began mostly with running around the city running
errands for his master before he was finally given leave to go
hunt. His first victim of the night was a stunning woman who had
struck up conversation at the street corner. It wasn't hard to
lure her into the alley and entranced her so he could feed. He
was so hungry he had been worried he would drain her, but the
awful taste had him making a face as he swallowed down a
mouthful before pulling back and locked the wound away. He
didn't even offer the confused woman an explanation before he
vanished on her.
He soon found himself at a run down bar, seducing a man this
time but having the same result. What was wrong with him? It was
like in comparison to Kai, these humans tasted like crap. He
just assume drink animal blood at that point!! The vampire
mopily stalked down the street, trying to think of reasons why
the blood tasted so off. Maybe the blood quality was poor?
The vampire went to a high end night club, having to sneak in
because he would otherwise be turned away. His eyes traced over
each person that passed where he had planted himself against a
wall, out of the way.
-----
Kaius spent the rest of the daylight hours doing research on
vampires, wanting to get a better idea of what his new obsession
must be experiencing. It actually took a great deal of fae
enchantments to get into the secret tomes at the back of the
supernatural library. His head was swimming a bit when he
finally was thrown out when the staff closed the library.
Apparently even bookworms liked to party.
Kai headed off, reaching out to find the trail of the vampire.
With the bit of magic he'd used on Osiris, it was just enough to
track him down to a rather high end club.
Even in his borrowed clothes, he was able to charm his way in.
He glanced around, his eyes flashing a bit when he picked up on
the vampire hidden out of sight.
With everything that had happened on his mind, a long with
Gabe's advice he was careful to dampen his magic as he walked
over.
"Fancy meeting you again handsome," Kai said giving the vampire
a grin. "Maybe this time, you'd like to dance? Maybe talk and
get to know one another some?"
He was smart enough to know better than start off with the whole
contract thing, or saying he was addicted that would just scare
him off.
-----
Osiris was focusing in on a cute girl who looked like she was
giving him a good look over. His line of sight obscured when Kai
stepped in front of him, calling him handsome and asking to
dance and talk. The look of utter confusion was very evident on
O's face.
"Dance?" He echoed, as one eyebrow raised, a sound of suspicion
in his voice. "I... guess that wouldn't hurt..." Osiris said as
he pushed off the wall. "I'm not a very good dance partner," He
warned. "I'm a toe smasher," he added with a slight chuckle.

---------------------------------------------------------
Kai waited patiently listening to the vampire, picking up the
suspicion in his voice. His mouth twitched up in a grin when the
vampire pushed off the wall and came closer.
"Oh don't worry, I'm a very good dancer. My toes should be
fine," Kai assured him and reached for his hand and dragged
Osiris onto the dance floor.
After several fast and intense songs, Kai getting quite close
and teasing Osiris's body he dragged him to the bar for a short
break. "How about I get a drink, and then give you one
privately? Don't want an audience seeing you feed it anything,"
he said with a wink.
He figured once they were alone he could tell Osiris what was
going on,and hope the vampire might be up for his idea of a
mutually beneficial agreement. He hoped they'd be able to come
to.some understanding without any sort of contract or lawyer
talk.
-----
Dancing with Kai was an experience for the typically introverted
man. The fae easily kept his full attention as they dacned
together. He hadn't even realized how long they had been dancing
until the gorgeous man dragged O off the dance floor and to the
bar.
He was not prepared for what the guy said next. Osiris stared
wide eyed at the man's suggestion. "You... are serious?" He
asked reluctantly. Unsure how to take this. Was the man being
genuine? Why would be want to be fed on? The young vampire
didn't understand, but he knew he was starving for another taste
of Kai.
-----
"I am quite serious. I was startled last night, but it wasn't
actually a bad experience. I imagine you were afraid that I'd
hold your nature against you," Kai said softly. "To be honest, I
did some research and found out a few things. You have a great
deal of control, which is a good thing. Any other vampire might
have just drained me."
Kai squeezed the hand he was still holding onto and lifted it to
his lips and kissed it. "I hope I haven't come off as too
forwards. I'd really like to get to know you better,"
-----
If Osiris could blush, he would have been in that moment. Even
in his life no one had ever treated him like this. Now without
wanting something. "I'm... kind of new to the vampire thing...
but uh... I would rather not talk so publicly about it... I
could devour you right now," O said in an almost whisper.
"Get your drink, I've been dying to taste you again..." He
purred darkly. Unable to resist to overt offer to let him eat.
----
"You don't have to worry about anyone hearing, I have this
bubble spell I put up when I talk. I don't like others listening
in," Kai explained. "And maybe you'd want to devour me in a
different way," he couldn't help but flirt back, winking at
Osiris.
He nodded again, moving to the bar, and ordered one of his
favorite drinks. A few minutes later he was back at Osiris's
side sipping on his drink. "There are private rooms upstairs for
those that want to have fun," he purred as he got a bit handsy,
running his hand up the other's back.
-----
A slight smirk played on Osiris lips at the Fae's suggestive
flirting. "I could be convinced." He said with a chuckle before
Kai was off getting a drink, returning shortly after and
suggesting a private room up stairs.
"Sound good." He said before taking the fae's hand and leading
him off up the stairs and to the previously discussed room. The
starving vampire couldn't even hold himself back for a moment
longer and shoved the willing meal against the abruptly closed
door and kissed the man passionately. The vampire then trailed
his tongue down Kai's jaw before kissing at where he wanted to
bite before sinking his teeth in and moaning at the taste.
Everything he had been craving all night right here. Osiris to
several long deep drinks before he forced himself to let go and
seal the wound. "It's so hard to stop myself you taste so good."
Osiris purred before recapturing the man's lips as his hands
began to slowly peal off Kai's clothes.
-----
A thrill went through Kai when Osiris took his hand and led him
up to the closest empty room. He let out a soft groan at being
pinned against the door, melting under the onslaught of Osiris's
amazing lips.
"Oh fu.ck yes," he groaned excitement and lust almost instantly
rushing through him. He arched his neck more for the vampire in
offering: a soft moan escaping him when the fangs slide in.
He could feel his heartbeat skip and then pound even louder in
his ears as Osiris drank from him. It was more than a little
erotic and Kai wanted so much more.
"You'll just have to keep me around, so you can feed more
often," Kai groaned and drank down his cocktail and set the
glass down, so he'd have both hands to explore Osiris's amazing
body.
He pressed in closer to deepen the kiss, his hands working the
other's shirt off and then moved to work his pants down.
"You could always taste other parts of me," he suggested as his
hand reached down to stroke over the vampires hard on.
"Though, I wouldn't mind a taste of you for myself,"
----
Soon the pair were both stripped and the fae had his hand on
Osiris's body, stroking his throbbing desire. He couldn't help
his hips bucking against the hand in need. Without a word, O was
kissing and licking down his new addiction's body, slowly
sinking to his knees before he kissed the tip of Kai's erection
before taking it into his mouth, moaning at the taste as he
sucked. His fangs gently teasing the man's member as he sucked.
He didn't stop until he tasted the man's seed before pulling
back and swallowing it down before standing back up and picking
the fae up in his strong arms.
Moments later he had Kai of the bed his fingers teasing the
man's hole before pressing inside. "Tell me what you want." He
told the man darkly.
-----
Kaius' body felt as if it was on fire as Osiris trailed kisses
and licked down his body. "Oh gods yes, that feels so good," he
moaned out hotly.
He released the man as he moved down and ran his hands up
Osiris's neck and buried them in the other's hair.
"Osiris, that feels fu.cking unreal," he groaned out, his hips
moving into the other's warm mouth.
The sensation of the mouth and the fangs scraping around his
member had him exploding far too quickly. He was more than ready
when he was lifted and spread out on the bed, with the vampire
once again inside him.
"I just want you to fu.ck me," Kai groaned out, wrapping his
legs around Osiris and pulled him in closer.
-----
Osiris couldn't hold himself back after those words. Pulling his
fingers free, the vampire positioned himself before pressing
inside of the Fae, slowly pressing inside as his hands pressed
Kai's legs back, neck to the man's head.
"You look amazing like this Kai...." the vampire purred as he
began to roughly claim the fae. He leaned forward, leaving
kisses and bites all over the man's body, only taking a mouthful
of blood with each bite, but letting the bite linger as he
ravaged the man, getting rougher as he went.

---------------------------------------------------------
Kai let out a loud groan, loving how well the vampire filled
him. This is what he'd been missing the past day. "You're
ruining me Osiris, don't want anyone but you inside me," Kai
exclaimed, his body loving every kiss sndbite the vampire gave
him.
He dug his fingernails into his new lover's back and shoulders,
his moans and cries getting louder with every thrust.
"Gods..more, I need more,"
----
Kai's cries for more spurred Osiris on, hearing him moan his
name like that while claiming he had been ruined by the man
drove the vampire on, thrusting faster and harder than any human
or even most other inhuman beings could only ever dream of
achieving.
He made the fae c.um for him in this position a few times,
loving the way the man would spill on his own face before
finally changing positions several times until Kai was a mess of
pleasure.
"Worn out yet?" Osiris asked with a smirk as he traced his
fingers over the fae's hyper sensitive skin.
-++
Kaius loved every moment and everything that Osiris did to him.
His body was practically humming from pleasure when Osiris gave
him a short reprieve.
"Actually, feeling quite energetic still," Kai replied and
flipped the vampire on his back and started to ride him.
He was so revved up that his wings emerged and fluttered as he
moved and ran his hands down Osiris's chest. "I could probably
do this all night long," he moaned out.
He leaned down to claim the vampire's mouth as his body
continued moving and taking the other's member deep into his
a.ss. He was more a little addicted now. He was completely
obsessed and wanting this thing between them to last for as long
as it could.
-----
The vampire hadn't expected to be flipped onto his back. His
look of surprise only grew as he saw the fae's wings appear from
his back. It was a stunning sight. He had never seen anything
like the man before.
Moans fell from his lips as Kai moved his hips, seeming to
flutter his wings as he did so. The vampire shivered a little at
the hands down his chest combined with the man's words of doing
this all night. "F.uck you are so sexy...." O managed to get out
before his lips were recaptured. He couldn't resist letting his
hands roam his lover's body, slowly letting his fingers graze
those stunning wings.
----+
Kaius usually exerted more caution and control, but there was
something about Osiris that had him abandoning both, and it was
damn freeing.
Kai moaned happily into the deep kiss, his wings fluttering a
bit quicker at the hands roaming over him. They stilled when
they felt fingers touching them. The gossamer feathery wings
were as soft as silk to the touch and even more sensitive than
skin. A shudder went through Kaius' body and he came hard and
collapsed on top of Osiris.
"Fu.ck, that was the best sex of my entire life," he moaned out,
and licked and sucked on the vampire's jaw. "You should probably
know, for my kind, sex is the equivalent of blood for your kind.
I'm more than a little addicted to you,"
----
The fae's reaction to his wings being touched followed by the
confession of feeling addicted made Osiris groan with desire.
"Hmmm then I better make sure you are nice and *full*," the
vampire purred darkly as he pulled Kai by his hair to expose the
man's shoulder and bit down as his free hand teased the
amazingly soft wings while he thrusted up into the fae.
It didn't take much of this to have himself cu.mming. He forced
himself to let go realizing he was starting to take a dangerous
amount of blood. O moved them onto their side and kissed the man
deeply as he finally pulled out. "I enjoyed this... but I have
to go... the sun will be up in a few hours..." Osiris explained
before be got himself cleaned up and out of bed before he
located his clothes.
-----
Kaius shivered at the purred words and let out a groan as the
fangs slide into his shoulder. That with the thrusting and
caressing of his wing had him cu.mming hard and he exploded over
both of them.
Kai panted and let out a soft grunt when Osiris pulled out.
"Maybe we could meet up again? Tomorrow night?" He asked, not
yet moving as he felt a bit light headed and too sore to move.
"Shall I hunt you down again, Or maybe we can exchange numbers,"
Kai tried to sit up, but his vision swam and he fell back with a
groggy groan. "Oh God, think I'm going to pass out,"
----
"Tomorrow night would be far too soon for you to be fed from
again. Rest, I may have taken a little more blood than I meant
to. You will feel better when you wake up." Osiris soothed as he
sat on the edge of the bed to calm to man. He didn't want the
guy trying to get out of bed and hurt himself.
"It is a bad idea for us to keep seeing each other...." O added
as he stood up again before planting one last kiss on the guys
lips before leaving. He knew a friend of the man would be along
soon to collect him because the vampire had taken the guys phone
and texted the most recent contact to come fetch him.
He was soon back at his master's home, tending to the guys
needs. *All* of the guys needs. The reason the old vampire had
embraced Osiris was that the vampire could only feed from other
supernaturals, and wanted his own personal slave of a blood bank
that could be easily controlled. While it was frowned on in
vampiric society, it was common practice for elders like his
master. By the time the sun was rising, O was pretty well used
and drained. His master greedily draining him dry before giving
him some blood bags to rejuvenate himself. Even with the horrid
taste, O got the blood down and was soon in his coffin.
------
Gabrielle heard his phone mid romp with Rhys to groan
instantly.”really?” He said before giving a hot kiss to the man
to slip and grab the phone and looked at the text.”sh.it! “ he
mumbled before he sighed.”we need to stop, got to pick up a
friend.” He told Rhys to kiss the man.
He grabbed the keys to the car and threw clothes on before
heading to the place. He followed the instructions to the man
and sighed deeply. He went to collect kai his body supporting
the fae gently, being mindful of his wings.
----
Kaius couldn't help but make a frustrated sound at Osiris's
saying it would be too soon. "No I won't, I'll be missing you. "
Kai murmured softly, closing his eyes to try and keep his head
from swimming.
"Please don't.." he started to beg when the vampire planted a
kiss and then vanished. "disappear again," he sighed, and closed
his eyes again, disappointment clouding his face.
He passed out a few minutes later, only coming to partially when
he felt arms lifting him up and carrying him out. "Didn't even
get a chance to talk to him about making an agreement," he
murmured, leaning into Gabe's shoulder.
He didn't know how his friend had found him, but he was glad it
wasn't someone else. At least Gabe knew about what he was going
through.
It took him a few moments of conscious thought to hide his wings
away. "Can..I stay with you for the night? Really don't have
anywhere else to go,"
-----
Gabrielle heard the man coming too as he was getting him to his
car.”that’s what happens when you give into indulgence without
really talking first..” he said with a blink before sliding the
man in the car once the man seemed to come too.”I don’t mind..
we do have a guest room you can get comfortable in.” He told the
fae once he got him in and buckled. He shut the door to make his
way around ,feeling the eyes of a few people around them. He had
noted cameras in some areas of the building.
He got into the drivers seat to buckle up and smoothed his hair
back.”honestly you should of called me and we could of seen the
guy together- it would it been easier to rope the man into
talking.. light threats do go a long way - even if you won’t
follow through.” He told the fae. “How do you think I got
successful in my business?” He said. While he wasn’t wrong- he
knew he needed to be careful this time around. The car started
and he began to make his way back to his home. He texted Rhys
quickly that he was bringing his friend to the house and to have
the guest room ready before shifting it to part of the consol
that separated him and the fai.”do you feel okay? Your really
out of it.” He asked looking concerned.
-----
"Didn't want to just blindside him, I can't help I already hav
feelings for him," Kai replied softly, glancing back towards the
club.
Kaius relaxed a bit, grateful his friend was willing to put up
with him and help him out. "You are a good friend Gabe. If I can
ever be of service I will do what I can,"
While Fae made a point to never outright say thank you, as it
could bind them, Kai wasn't going to just leech off of his
friend.
He shook his head at Gabe's suggestion. "Would have scared
Osiris off. He's only just been turned not that long ago. I
don't want to force him to choose to be with me. He has to want
it for himself. "
It took him a moment to realize just how strange that sounded.
He must be going soft or had he actually fallen in love? It was
a bit frightening to think was possible. Fae never let
themselves fall. It made things messy and way too complicated.
If his father found out, he'd never be allowed to ever go back.
That thought sobered him immensely.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rhys was not happy in the least bit getting co.ck blocked and
having to cut their romp so short. Though by now he was used to
Gabe getting calls at odd hours from clients in need of help. He
drew out the kiss extra long and slapped his husband on the ass.
"Just don't make plans after helping this friend. You and I
haven't quite finished," he insisted.
Once Gabe had left, Rhys slid out of bed and pulled on his
boxers and walked to the kitchen to find something to snack on.
He was halfway through the leftover spaghetti and a late night
rerun of King of Queens when his phone buzzed on the side table.
He got a concerned look on his face after reading Gabe's text
about bringing his friend home. Most times they talk about
having people stay over first, but there had been a few times
when it was an emergency. He hoped that his first aid skills
weren't going to be needed as he got up to work on making the
guest room more inviting.
"Maybe I should get the kit out just in case," he murmured and
then went to pull on some actual clothes.
------
“It’s fine really, don’t worry about it. Feel free to relax when
we get there.” He told him. “Mm not with the right words. Let me
try this time.. it’s harder to run from a lawyer that knows
your face and name.” He said and chuckled. “Now my lover is
human, he is aware of the supernatural world least enough of
it.” He told the man.
He realized how kai sounded and saw how he was.”don’t fuss..
recover for now if push comes to shove you have me.” He told
him.
It wasn’t long till they reached his home and he ushered the man
inside.”Rhys.. this is my fae friend kai. He’s in a bit of a
spot so he’s gonna be staying for a bit- is that fine?” He asked
his lover. He couldn’t help but run over the man’s body. He knew
he would need to make up for the call, and probably then some
once things were settled and his friend comfortable.
-----
Kai sighed and nodded slowly, chewing his bottom lip as he
worried about how Osiris might react to the fallen angel showing
up to talk to him. He hoped the vampire wouldn't get scared off.
Even though he was still on a sex high, he felt a sort of
strange pulling and stretching sensation the further they drove.
Had he somehow created a bond to the vampire already? While
bonds were known to happen, it wasn't a common thing between
different races or beings.
Kaius was more than a little intrigued to hear that Gabe's lover
was a human. "I'll try not to shock him too much and keep the
wings hidden," he replied.
Kaius shook his head at Gabe's saying he had him. "Not sure it
will be enough. I tried you know, being with others after my
first time with Osiris, and it didn't do much of anything for
me." He confessed.
By the time they arrived at Gabe's house, Kai was feeling a bit
more steady and was able to walk on his own into the house. He
came to an abrupt halt, his eyes widening at the hot sexy man
and the vibes coming off of him.
Rhys wasn't sure why the sparkly man had paused and was staring
at him like a deer in headlights. He turned to look at Gabe with
a raised eyebrow. "Is he okay? And of course he can stay." He
agreed, smiling a bit at how Gabe was looking at him. His body
was already responding to the look he was getting.
"The guest room is this way," Rhys said and led the fae man
through to the far end of the house. "There's a bathroom across
the hall. Is there anything else you need?"
Kaius finally found his words. "You're more than human. You have
an amazing energy and vibe to you. Like.. something rare. I
can't quite put my finger on what, but there's something special
about you,"
------
“I chose my wording poorly- I meant in drawing Osiris in. I am a
lawyer so think once I see his face he realizes it’s harder to
just run away.” He told him.
He showed kai inside and saw Rhys.”kind of.. Kai needs a lot of
rest.” He said as he walked with Rhys. He heard Kai talk and
wrapped his arms around Rhys.”he is special.. he’s my soulmate
for one.. but plenty of angels and demons came flocking at one
point. Tried really hard to take him from me.” He told kai.
“He’s the reason I didn’t fall all the way to hell.” He said as
his hands went down Rhys sides, his mouth kissing the man’s
neck. Gabrielle wasn’t shy about showing affection in front of
others.”oh! If you hear a knock in the morning it’s just our
elder neighbor. Her cat ends up in a tree and Rhys normally gets
it for her. She’s quite the conversationalist too.. so yeah.” He
told him and chuckled a little.
-----
Kai hoped that Gabe might have more luck with Osiris than he
had. "Good luck, really. I mean it." He said softly. wishing
there was more he could do to keep Osiris in his life. If it
came down to it, he'd do whatever he had to. Even offing the
guy's vampire master.
Kai's reaction to him, worried Rhys for a moment, unsure of how
to react. Especially after having angels and demons trying to
steal him away from Gabe in the past. HE relaxed a bit when Gabe
moved to wrap his arms around him, ad leaned back into the
other's chest, trust showing in his eyes.
Kai's eyes narrowed slightly, hearing about their being demons
and angels that had come after his friend's partner.
"Well..you're lucky to have him." Kai said looking away, not
wanting to get jealous of his friend having everything he
wanted.
Rhys leaned into the lips on his neck, letting out a soft moan,
his eyes closing a bit. He was already getting turned on again
and wanted his lover alone to continue the fun that had been
interrupted.
"Ah, all right. I'll keep that in mind, I'll just go try and
sleep," Kai muttered and disappeared down the hall and into the
guest room, leaving the two to their fun.
-----
Gabe took notice of the man’s eyes. He could feel the man’s
jealousy. He watched him go to bed and went back to Rhys. While
he felt for Kai- he had some making up to do. He pulled the man
back to the room as the door shut, and clothes lost. He had Rhys
tied to the headboard as he began to tease the man relentlessly
before finally taking the man’s greedy a.ss.
Their lovemaking continued till well in the night, when both
were blissfully asleep. As morning crept did Gabe get ready, he
dressed casual, got the man’s description from kai and went on
his own hunt for the man around what would be feeding time. He
figured once he pulled him in and got him into a room- the two
could talk.
-----
Osiris was out hunting again tonight. His master draining him
making him more hungry than he could even handle. He couldn't
get Kai out of his head as he roamed the streets, looking for
someone who was even half as good as that fae.
He spotted a woman who seemed like she might taste okay, he was
actively trying to seduce her, but it didn't seem to be going
all that well, she wasn't exactly a fan of his dark aesthetic.
-----
Gabrielle was glancing around as he saw a woman walk off on the
man.”having a tough night?” He asked as he walked over to Osiris
Osiris looked over at the approaching man, raising an eyebrow at
him. "There are more fish out there," he said as he gave the man
a once over, rather liking what he saw.
“More like bigger fish..” said Gabrielle with a grin.”want to
play?.. or you still fishing for guppies?” He asked.
A smirk crossed Osiris's lips at the strangers responce.
"Depends on the games you want to play," he said with a smirk
growing on his lips as he smirked, fully facing the man now.
“Hard fast.. bit of bondage if your into that sort of thing..”
said Gabrielle. He had his attention now he just needed to reel
in. “Not the pain.. all pleasure..” he added his mouth making a
lopsided smile.
Osiris's smirk grew at the man's offer, "I am not apposed to a
little bondage..." He said, giving the man one more look over.
The man was hot, so he could definitely enjoy a little tussle
before he had his first bite of the night.
"You have a place in mind for some privacy?" He questioned.
“Sounds fun… I have a room reserved for the night.. sound good?”
Asked Gabrielle as his eyes flickered at the man’s smile. His
ruse seemed to be working for him.
"Sounds like a plan to me. Lead the way," the vampire purred,
following after his soon to be bedfellow.
Once inside the room, Osiris couldn't help but shove the man up
against the wall and captured his lips with his own, his hunger
growing by the moment.
The amount of “I’m sorry.” Came to Gabrielle’s mind during that
kiss, him getting Osiris to the bed and locking his hands
in.”mmm before I forget..” he said, he went and locked the door.
“Alright.. Osiris?” My name is Gabrielle, as Kai’s lawyer we
need to talk- I wish to make this as amicable as possible.” He
told him.”so went I free you please don’t run- chasing you down
is quite the chore.” He said as he sat at a chair and
unbuttoned the top of his collar.
Osiris was letting his guard down, even letting this man get his
hands tied up against the headboard. Already nice and hot and
bothered as the man walked away to lock the door.
A glare instantly came to his eyes when the man said his name.
He hadn't told this stranger his name. A *lawyer* the fae got a
lawyer! "What is there to talk about?" He asked pulling against
his restraints.
“Well, for one was going to see if you’d do the council
contract- do a live in with a current couple.” He told him.”kai
feels he can’t have anyone else but you to feed off of sex
wise-do you have the same issues feeding?” He asked.
"A contract? Are you serious? Look man, I already have a someone
I'm bound to. I can't do that kind of commitment. Sure eatting
is entirely unsatisfying... but if I keep feeding from Kai I
will end up killing him... I almost drained him last time...."
Osiris said, his annoyance at the situation followed by concern
over Kai clear in his voice.
“Not in a controlled environment you won’t have that problem.”
Gabrielle said first.”your bound? May I ask willingly and to
whom.” He asked as he freed the man’s one arm.
"The man that turned me... and what does it matter if it wasn't
willing.. still under his thumb..." Osiris said as he helped to
free his other hand.
“ I can take care of that… make him vanish for good… guys like
that who do things unwillingly- best left dead. You’d be free.”
He told Osiris.”I don’t mind getting my hands dirty a bit- I do
have my connections.”
Osiris was entirely shocked at this man's suggestion of taking
out his master. "You... would do that for me?" He asked in
shock.
Gabrielle chuckled.”of course I wouldn’t mind doing it- that
sort of bound behavior leads to abuse. Bet all he does is take..
you do deserve a bit of give from the right person.. kai is that
sort of guy.” He told Osiris.”will you be willing to try with
him? If it don’t work out either way your a free man” Gabrielle
added.
"If... you free me from my master... I will owe you... I...
suppose I could... try if that were the case...." Osiris said
reluctantly, bending to the idea.
“That’s all I want.. you and Kai can use my place- got enough
room to. Mind telling me where you last saw your master?” He
asked,
"He doesn't leave his big house on the main avenue... i... could
take you there..." Osiris suggested, his tone suggesting he
didn't exactly believe the man could pull this off. "Have you
ever... dealt with a vampire before? Like a fully fledged one?"
He asked the guy.
Gabrielle sighed.”I’ve dealt with a lot of fights.. demons and
angels alike..” he said as his wings manifested pitch black in
color.”pretty sure I can handle him just fine.” He said his tone
dipping in a chuckle of a man as his eyes flashed gold.
Osiris's eyes got very wide seeing those black wings. "Holy
shit... makes me wonder what else is real..." He murmured as he
got out if the bed. "When... are you wanting me to take you to
him?" He found himself asking.
“You’d be suprised. Probably be best.. mean do you want to see
the man die or not by your own eyes as proof?” Asked Gabrielle.
He knew better than just to do it without some semblance of
proof.
"Okay...." Osiris said slowly before he lead the man out of the
hotel room and down several blocks until they arrived at the
poorly kept million dollar home. Osiris went inside with the
able in tow.
"Osiris? Back ready? You need to feed more so I don't have to
drain you every time I eat." A voice of an older man said with a
dark laugh.
Gabrielle walked with the man before he took noticed of the old
million dollar home. He could hear how the man was as his eyes
flashed a bit as he stepped by Osiris. He wheeled around and got
in front of the older vampire.”Osiris is wishing to no longer be
in your service… I’m afraid he’s quitting- today.” Said
Gabrielle before his wings flew out and a hand grasped the
vampires throat.
His gaze fixated on the vampire as it seemed the life was choked
out of the vampire. He then pulled out what looked like a
lighter and said a few words to burn the corpse as the flames
leapt out, the flame burned a hot blue reducing the master to
ash.”can’t come back from that…” chuckled Gabrielle as he
flicked the thing closed.
Osiris watched in shock at what happened right in front of him.
The man he had been so scared of these last several month was
now dead, a pile of ash on the floor. "I can't believe you just
did that... so easily..." He commented.

---------------------------------------------------------
Gabrielle dusted his hands off.”fought enough to the point it
starts feeling easy..” he told osiris.”at one point I did fight
demons to protect my boyfriend whose at home right now. “So will
you *try* with Kai? And I mean it- if the trial run don’t work
out you can walk out.” He told the vampire as he looked at him.
"I can try... I must admit I am starving right now. Give me the
adress... I'll show up when I'm done hunting...." Osiris said,
feeling slightly scared of the lawyer.
Gabrielle gave a soft smile and wrote down the address.”here,
and get your fill.” He told the man. “One warning though- the
place *might* smell of sex.. my partner and I are use to fucking
everywhere so it’s gonna have to change.” He joked a little.
Osiris couldn't help the look he gave the Lawyer, but took the
paper all the same, folding it up and placing it in his pocket.
"Right. I'll keep that in mind..." He said, before be walked off
onto the street.
He spent the next few hours trying to get his fill. He managed
to at least quiet the hunger. He arrived a few hours before
sunrise at the front door of the address given to him and gently
knocked on the door.
Gabrielle heard the door as he was waking up and getting coffee.
He walked over to open it.”come on in, make yourself comfy..
just making some coffee- kai should be up in a little”. He told
him to usher the man in.
------
Rhys came out of the bedroom a few moments later. He looked over
Osiris a bit curiously before grabbing a mug of coffee and then
sat down to drink it. "What do you think our fae guest would
want for breakfast? I was thinking eggs, bacon and maybe
cinnamon toast. Unless our other guest wants something else?" He
asked.
-----
Kai's attempt to sleep was a bust once his hosts began their
nighttime sex capade, there was no way he could ignore what was
happening.
Even if their room wasn't close, his sharp ears heard
everything. Apparently human walls weren't thick enough to
muffle the sounds of the two going at it.
It was a good half hour in, when he realized, much to his shock
that their lovemaking was feeding him. It wasn't quite as good
as actually having sex, but it was taking off the edge of his
urges.
Kai groaned softly, closing his eyes and imagined that he was
with Osiris again. He touched himself, stroking and moving his
hand until he finally came.
He finally fell asleep, his eyes snapping open the minute he
heard Osiris's voice, and then Rhys mentioning food. He
scrambled out of bed, cleaned up as best as he could and found
some clothes to pull on.
He managed to brush his hair out with his fingers and hurried
out to the kitchen. The sight of Osiris standing only a few feet
away, had his wings instantly spring out.
"You..you came," he breathed out, sheer relief and hope in his
voice. "I'm sorry for sending a lawyer out after you. I just...I
want you in my life. I'll do whatever you want, just
please...can we have sex again?" Kai knew he sounded pitiful
begging like he was, he couldn't help it. He was completely and
utterly hooked on Osiris.
----
"Alright..." Osiris said to Gabriel, though his attention
snapped onto the human that soon entered the room. He smelled
*delicious* to say the least. His eyes were even beginning to
turn red before he was snapped out of it but Kai practically
scrambling into the room.
Osiris couldn't help his look of surprise seeing the excitable
fae with wings and all. The fae's begged words had him chuckling
slightly.
"Yeah, we can... just... we need to be more careful... I...
nearly drained you last time... I doubt I can feed from you any
time soon... come on..." the vampire said, latching onto the
thought of being away from the human as he took Kai's hand and
led him back to the bedroom he had just come out of.
----
Rhys was a bit alarmed by how quickly Osiris' eyes snapped onto
him and then started turning an eerie bright red. He reached to
pull Gabe closer, unsure of how he would be able to defend
himself against the vampire. "Might want to put some space
between me and him," he muttered to his boyfriend, feeling a bit
wary.
He relaxed a bit when Kai showed and drew the vampire's
attention. He was more than a little shocked to see the brightly
colored wings out and fluttering as the fae spoke. He knew there
were supernatural beings, but had never seen them this close.
After hearing the fae and the vampire talking about having sex,
he pulled on Gabe's hand, leading him towards the front door.
"We should go out, do something fun. Let them have some
privacy,"
-----
Kai had almost completely forgotten about his hosts when Osiris
agreed to doing him and then took his hand. "yeah, should be
more careful with that," he agreed and pulled Osiris in,
latching his mouth greedily over the vampire's kissing him
deeply as they stumbled into the bedroom.
His hands moved quickly as he aided Osiris in pulling off their
clothes, and then their bodies were in the bed, wrestling a bit
before Kai got his lover on his back.
"Gonna ride you long and hard," he purred out, his hands running
over the vampire's bare chest. "might go a whole day, if you can
last that long," he added as he moved to rub his a.ss over the
other's hard member.
-----
Gabrielle put his arm around Rhys gently. His eyes steady on the
vampire.”don’t worry.. I’ll make sure he don’t take a chunk.
There are rules to the vampire world too- he wouldn’t just go
after you and you not be willing.” He told Rhys.”it’s just his
reaction cause you smell good.. not that I blame him cause you
do.” He cooed burying his face in the man’s neck.
Gabrielle made a gentle smile at how his friend was and how his
side so easily slid out when excited. The house was safe enough
where he could be unguarded. “Mmhmm.. you tied up or me today.”
He asked Rhys to pull him up by his chin.”though seeing you act
like this makes me wanna just ravage you right here.” He teased
with a grin.
His eyes flickered as he heard a slight stumble to chuckle at
the two that made their way to the bedroom and quietly went over
to shut the door. He took Rhys hand and pulled him to their
room, clothing not lasting long as he began to tease the man’s
body.
-----
The fae's impatience nearly had the pair stumbling down the hall
on the way to the bedroom, where Kai was quick in stripping them
both out of their clothes. After a little back and forth for who
would be on top, soon Osiris was on his back.
The vampire couldn't help the shiver that overtook him when the
man spoke of possibly riding him all day. His supple as.s
rubbing against his hard member. "Oh, I'm sure I could with how
good you are in bed," he purred back, trying not to get too lost
in the experience.
----
