VampyreXBlood

“What’s the last name?” the pretty restaurant hostess asked as Armand and Daniel approached her booth. 

“Molloy,” Armand replied, smirking as he felt Daniel blush at the usage of his last name to refer to both of them like they were some kind of married couple. 

“Very good,” the young woman said, looking cheerily down at her notebook and checking something off. “I see you have our back room booked for the evening. Is it a special occasion?” 

Daniel had wondered this himself when Armand asked if he’d want to accompany him on a fancy night out at the most expensive restaurant in the city. 

“But babe,” Daniel had argued a few nights ago, “isn’t that place like $200 per person? I’d be just as happy going on a walk through the city and stopping at a hot dog stand.” 

Armand had laughed then. He loved the way his fascinating boy’s mind worked. Daniel was so unassuming and the complete opposite of pretentious. It’s one of the many things Armand loved about him. 

“I know, beloved,” Armand had said, reaching to rest his hand gently on Daniel’s cheek. The young journalist had sighed into Armand’s touch. “But I want to treat you to something special. You deserve it.”

So, here they were, and Armand had taken care of everything—the reservation, the cost. He’d even bought Daniel a fancy tie to wear tonight, which Daniel thought was a little silly. But secretly, his heart warmed whenever Armand suggested outfits for him. He clearly cared so much and wanted Daniel to have the very best. Who was he to say no? Plus, Daniel loved the way Armand’s eyes lit up whenever Daniel wore something Armand had picked out. 

“Does one need a special reason to take their partner out for a romantic dinner?” Armand winked at the hostess. 

The girl smiled and gave Daniel a look that said, You are such a lucky guy. “Not at all. You’ll follow Maria to your table, gentlemen.”

With that, another young lady appeared and led Armand and Daniel past several other couples who were dining in the main room and didn’t stop until they got to the very back of the restaurant, which had its own private, dimly lit section away from the rest of the guests. There was only one table in the room, and it had an antiquated silver candle in the center of a beautiful crimson table runner. 

It was a very elegant setup, Daniel had to admit, and he couldn’t deny that the room immediately put him in the mood for some romance. 

“Alright, you two,” the girl said as she gestured for Armand and Daniel to sit. “Would you like to go ahead and order, or do you need a minute to decide what you want?”

“Oh, um—” Daniel started to say.

“That’s quite alright,” Armand cut in politely. “Daniel will have the filet mignon, rare, and a glass of your finest Cabernet. I will have the ribeye, also rare, and a glass of your house red. Thank you.”

Daniel blinked at Armand. It wasn’t that he minded his boyfriend ordering for him at all (in fact, he thought it was kinda hot), but he knew the filet mignon was the priciest thing on the menu here, and he couldn’t ask Armand to spend that much money on him. 

“Armand, I don’t need the filet—”

“Beloved, if you know what’s good for you, you will kindly end your sentence there,” Armand said gently. 

The server looked back and forth between Armand and Daniel to make sure there would be no changes to the order, then she smiled and said, “Very well. I’ll be back with that wine shortly,” and left the room. 

Now that Armand and Daniel were alone, Daniel gave the vampire a very pointed look. 

“Really?” he said. “The filet mignon? That’s not necessary, baby. I was just gonna get the sirloin.”

Armand moved around the table to pull Daniel’s chair out for him. “Daniel, as I have said, tonight is about treating you to a nice night, because I love you and you deserve it. Money is no object, beloved, especially when it comes to you.”

Daniel blushed and sat down in his chair as Armand pushed it in for him. He truly did not know what he’d done in a past life to deserve Armand as a partner. The ancient vampire spoiled him all the time.

“Well, okay,” Daniel relented sheepishly, looking up at Armand as he bent down to give Daniel a quick kiss. “Thanks.”

Armand made his way over and sat at the other side of the table, across from Daniel, and as he did so, Daniel’s eyes raked over his elegant form. 

Armand looked really good tonight. He always did, of course, but Daniel was practically drooling over the all-black suit Armand was currently wearing, and the way he’d put his hair halfway up in a bun. He looked downright sexy.

Daniel couldn’t hide his grin as he bit his lip and said, “So, you ordered the ribeye just to, what? Keep up appearances? That’s a lot of money to throw away on something you can’t even enjoy.”

Armand leaned back in his chair. He chuckled. “Oh, I plan on enjoying myself tonight, my love. Don’t worry.”

Daniel swallowed and could only guess what Armand was alluding to. He cleared his throat and said slyly, “Oh, I see. This was your game all along, wasn’t it? Take me out on a nice date, wine and dine me… just so I’ll put out later?”

Daniel expected Armand to laugh at this (he was mostly joking, after all), but instead, the vampire’s eyes darkened a little. It made goosebumps break out on Daniel’s arms.

“Who said anything about later?” Armand replied in a low, measured tone, just as their server came back in the room with two glasses of red wine.

It took everything in Daniel’s willpower to break eye contact with Armand to accept the glass from the young woman. “Th-Thanks,” he managed, setting the glass on the table.

Armand set his wine down as well, acknowledged the girl with a polite nod, and she left again. Then Armand turned his full attention back to Daniel, who was squirming a little in his seat.

“Please, drink,” Armand suggested, gesturing to Daniel’s wine. “If it’s not to your taste, we will send it back and order something different.”

Daniel took an admittedly large gulp to steady himself. “No, it’s great, babe.”

“Good,” Armand replied, tilting his head and giving Daniel a rather sinful once-over, his lips parting a little.

Daniel now wished they had stayed home tonight so that Armand could have his hands all over him. Although… What was it Armand had said a minute ago? Who said anything about later?

“Baby,” Daniel began, laughing nervously, “why are you looking at me like you want to jump across this table and rip my clothes off?”

Armand licked his lips, and Daniel could’ve moaned at the sight. “I just… think you look very handsome in your tie.”

Daniel smirked. “Yeah? You like it when I wear what you picked out for me, baby?”

Armand’s eyes snapped back up to meet Daniel’s. Sometimes Daniel forgot that Armand was, at his core, a predator. But in moments like these, he remembered. Daniel’s cheeks grew hot under Armand’s gaze.

“What if I do?” the vampire asked.

Daniel adjusted himself a little in his chair. “Well, I think it’s kinda hot, Armand.” He paused before continuing, “And by the way, you look fucking gorgeous tonight.”

Armand smiled. “Thank you, beloved.” Then he looked over his shoulder to the doorway that separated their private room from the rest of the restaurant. From where their table was, you couldn’t see out into the restaurant, and the other guests couldn’t see them.

He cleared his throat. “I… will admit, as you alluded to earlier, I did have a bit of an ulterior motive in bringing you here.”

Daniel sounded practically giddy when he said, “Oh yeah? Do tell.”

Armand’s eyes glinted. He loved when his bright young reporter got this excited about Armand’s plans for him. It really amused him… and turned him on. “Well, I figure we have about fifteen minutes before our server returns with the food. Plenty of time, don’t you think?”

“Time for what?” Daniel asked, his voice coming out a little breathless. He really hoped he knew where this was headed.

“Time for me to fuck you on this table, beloved,” Armand replied.

***********************************************************

Armand was looking at him with the most hungry expression. Daniel gulped.

“Tell me what you need, beloved,” Armand whispered into Daniel’s lips. “Tell me, and it’s yours.”

Daniel felt drunk on the closeness of Armand’s body. He was so beautiful and terrifying, and he wanted to fuck him so bad.

“Is that so?” Armand huffed a laugh, reading Daniel’s mind.

Daniel blushed fiercely. He hated when the vampire did that.

“How do you want to fuck me, Daniel?” Armand asked, so politely it was driving the young reporter crazy.

God, Daniel just wanted to straddle Armand and grab his slender waist and rut into him like an animal.

Armand’s pupils dilated slightly and his expression darkened. Shit, he had read Daniel’s thoughts again.

“If that’s what you want, then take it,” Armand cooed, slowly leaning back on the couch where they had both been sitting.

Daniel felt like this had to be a dream. His heart was pounding out of his chest, and his dick was throbbing. Fuck, he thought.

“Y-you want that, baby?” Daniel asked shakily, not used to being the more dominant one. He hoped this wasn’t turning Armand off.

Armand reached up and pulled Daniel down on top of him. Daniel gasped at the contact as he settled between Armand’s legs.

“Don’t ask, Daniel, just take what you want,” Armand said, his voice gravelly.

Daniel swallowed hard. He brushed a strand of curly hair out of Armand’s face and leaned forward to kiss him passionately. Armand moaned into the kiss as he wrapped his legs around Daniel. Daniel used one hand to pin Armand’s waist beneath him, and the other hand was tugging at Armand’s hair.

When they finally broke the kiss, both were panting, wild expressions in their eyes.

“I…” Daniel trailed off.

“Yes?” Armand encouraged him breathlessly.

Daniel knew that Armand wanted to be dominated, and he knew he could give that to him. He just had to be confident.

Daniel cleared his throat before sitting up and saying, “Take off your clothes and ride me.”

Armand groaned at the demand and immediately got to work standing up and disrobing while Daniel sat on the couch and watched him with a lustful expression.

“I thought you’d never ask, beloved,” Armand said, fully naked now.

Goddamn, Armand was so hot.

“You’re not so bad yourself,” Armand said with a smirk, having read Daniel’s thoughts again.

“I hate when you do that,” Daniel huffed, reaching forward to pull Armand on top of him so the vampire was straddling him.

“No, you don’t,” Armand replied, smiling wickedly. “It turns you on.”

Suddenly, visions flashed in Daniel’s mind: Armand’s hands all over his body, his soft mouth around his dick, his teeth sinking into Daniel’s throat while he whined and begged him to stop.

“You are so fascinating,” Armand said, his voice filled with awe.

Daniel’s mouth had gone dry, and all his blood had rushed to his groin.

“Did you put those images in my head?” the young reporter asked.

Armand chuckled. “I don’t know what you mean.” Then without warning, he reached between Daniel’s legs, unzipped his trousers, and pulled out his dick. Daniel gasped, and Armand began slowly stroking his cock.

“So hard for me,” Armand observed, licking his lips.

Daniel was about to grab Armand, but he suddenly realized… He couldn’t move his body.

“A-Armand,” Daniel said, feeling himself panic a little. “I can’t—”

“Move your body?” Armand finished the sentence for him. “I know. Sit back and relax.”

“But I thought you wanted—”

“To be dominated?” Armand finished the thought for Daniel again. He chuckled. “I do. But first, I want to play with you.”

And with that, Armand got on his knees before Daniel and wrapped his lips around his cock without warning.

Daniel groaned and his eyes rolled back in his head. “Fuck.”

Armand continued his ministrations, licking and sucking Daniel’s dick with zero rush or urgency. It was driving Daniel absolutely crazy.

“B-boss, can you…” Daniel trailed off, biting back a loud moan as he felt himself growing closer to climax.

Armand’s mouth slid off Daniel with a pornographic pop. “Can I…?” He encouraged Daniel to use his words. He loved making his bright young reporter with a point of view flustered. It aroused him to no end.

Daniel swallowed before saying, “Can I please touch you? I… want you to ride me. I don’t want to come in your mouth.”

Armand grinned. “Oh?” he practically purred. “And where do you want to come, beloved?”

Armand’s voice was silky and oh, so hot to Daniel. The vampire knew exactly what he was doing teasing him. Armand playing coy made Daniel unbelievably hard.

“You know where, baby,” Daniel said sheepishly, feeling a blush creep up the back of his neck.

“I want to hear you say it,” Armand replied, licking a stripe up Daniel’s cock and causing the young reporter to whine.

“I…” Daniel began, leaning his head back and screwing his eyes shut as Armand licked him again. “I want—I need to come inside you, boss.”

Armand’s eyes darkened as he looked at Daniel like a hungry predator. “Good boy,” he said.

With that, Armand released the mental binds on Daniel, and Daniel could move his body again.

Daniel immediately grabbed Armand and pulled him back up into his lap. Armand ground down sinfully into Daniel’s erection, and Daniel could’ve swore he saw God.

“A-Armand,” Daniel moaned, gripping Armand’s hips so hard he was sure it would leave bruises if Armand were human.

“Tell me what to do,” Armand breathed into Daniel’s lips before kissing him passionately, licking into his mouth like he was starved.

Daniel broke the kiss after a minute and hoped he sounded confident when he said, “Open yourself up for me, gorgeous.”

Armand preened at Daniel’s words and did exactly as the young reporter said, first nicking his wrist and coating his fingers with the blood. Then the vampire slowly inserted a finger inside himself. Armand moaned, putting on a little show. He knew how much Daniel loved to watch him like this.

Daniel thought it was the hottest thing he’d ever seen. He was barely breathing as he watched Armand with a combination of awe and lust. God, he was beautiful.

Armand inserted a second finger, and eventually a third, whining obscenely as he ground back against his fingers.

Daniel was achingly hard and couldn’t wait any longer, so he said, “Come here, baby, I need you.”

“Yeah?” Armand asked, his fangs dropping down as they often did when he was burning with desire for his bright young reporter.

“Yeah,” Daniel said, drunk off the sight of Armand bare and needy before him. “Fuck yeah.”

Armand didn’t need to be told twice. He lined himself up and sank down onto Daniel’s hard dick, his mouth falling open and uttering a shameless whimper.

Daniel bit down hard on his bottom lip and groaned. “Fuckkkk, Armand. Ride me, baby.”

“Like this?” Armand asked, moving his hips in a slow and sensual rhythm, grinding into Daniel as he did so.

“Just like that, you’re doing so good for me,” Daniel said breathlessly.

“Mmm, Daniel, I want to be good.”

“You’re so good, boss, fuck.”

“I need more,” Armand said, his movements growing faster.

“Yeah?”

“Yes, please,” Armand whined. “I need you to fuck me.”

“You got it, hot stuff,” Daniel growled before flipping them so that Daniel was on top and could fuck into Armand at a better angle. He folded Armand’s legs up at the knees and began snapping his hips into him roughly.

“Ohh, Daniel, yes!” Armand cried out, clawing at Daniel’s shoulders and drawing blood.

Daniel moaned at the pain, feeling the blood trickle down his back. It only brought him closer to climax. If this made him fucked up, he didn’t care.

“Boss, you feel so good,” Daniel said as he continued to fuck Armand at a brutal pace. “Can you touch yourself for me, baby?”

Armand whined as he wrapped his hand around his own cock and stroked himself. Daniel thought Armand looked so fucking pretty like this, jerking himself off and uttering the sweetest little noises.

“Boss, I’m so close,” Daniel said, suddenly feeling the desperate need to release.

“Fill me up, beloved,” Armand purred in Daniel’s ear. “Make me yours.” He stroked himself faster, clearly already close to coming himself.

Daniel groaned. That was all it took before he came, hard, inside Armand, panting as he rode out his orgasm, which might’ve been the best he’d ever had.

Armand came shortly after, with a deep throaty moan that Daniel would never forget as long as he lived and would never stop hearing in his dreams.

Armand was covered in cum, both his and Daniel’s. But that was exactly how he liked it.

Armand leaned up to kiss Daniel sweetly and lazily, and Daniel cupped Armand’s face as he kissed him back.

Daniel looked into Armand’s strange but alluring amber eyes and felt an unbearable twinge of aching happiness.

“I love you, boss,” Daniel said, his voice cracking with emotion.

Armand smiled up at his beautiful boy and brushed his nose against Daniel’s. “I love you more, beloved.”

**************************************************************************

Daniel watched as Armand used one of his pointed fingernails to nick his wrist. The young man gasped as blood began to flow out of the cut. The vampire smeared the blood all over his fingers.

At first, Daniel wasn’t sure what Armand was doing.

Armand seemed to notice Daniel's staring. The corner of his lips quirked up into a smile. Then he brought one of his fingers to Daniel’s ass and slowly began inserting it inside him, using the blood as lubricant.

Daniel let out a groan, hating himself for being turned on so much by this. “Oh god,” he uttered. This shouldn’t be so hot...

Armand continued to finger Daniel until he was ready to add a second finger, then a third. By this time, Daniel was whimpering and pushing back against Armand’s fingers, wanting more.

“God, you’re a desperate thing, aren’t you?” Armand said, breathless. Daniel knew the vampire was getting off on this too. “What’s the matter?” But before Daniel could reply, Armand continued, “Oh, I see. I see everything. The dozens of times you’ve sucked a man’s cock for journalistic information, though it wasn’t just for your stories, was it? No, no, no.”

Armand removed his fingers and wrapped a hand around Daniel’s throat, hauling him up from the table so that Daniel’s back was against Armand’s chest. Daniel couldn’t help but observe how Armand’s arm muscles flexed as he held him close.

“You liked being used by those men,” Armand cooed into Daniel’s ear. Daniel shivered. “Those powerful men. You liked playing their dog. Look at me now.” Armand’s hand slid up Daniel’s throat to grasp his face and make sure the journalist’s eyes were on him. “I can see every filthy thought in your mind right now, pet. How you want me to use you for my own pleasure.” Armand laughed. “You’re imagining all the ways I can fuck you and make you mine.”

Daniel swallowed hard. The vampire’s pupils dilated and were almost entirely black now. Daniel was quite literally Armand's prey. But still, something inside him urged him to see just how far he could push Armand. He wanted to make him angry.

“I don’t know…” Daniel drawled defiantly. “Louis seems to think you aren’t anything special.”

“No?” Armand practically purred, gripping Daniel’s face harder. He shoved Daniel’s body back into the table with such force that Daniel’s ears rang for a moment.

Daniel looked back and watched as Armand spread his own blood all over his dick, stroking himself in the process. Armand’s eyes fluttered closed, and Daniel thought it was the hottest thing he’d ever seen.

Armand lined himself up with Daniel’s hole, and Daniel braced himself. The vampire slowly pushed inside, and Daniel squeezed his eyes shut as he uttered a very embarrassing moan.

Armand huffed a laugh. His hips started to move back and forth, dragging himself in and out of Daniel in a way that was absolutely excruciating. The vampire moaned softly.

“Tell me,” Armand breathed as his thrusts began to grow faster, “do I bore you, Daniel?”

“N-no,” Daniel said, hardly able to speak with the way Armand was taking him. It was a rough fuck, but also… passionate. Armand was an exceptionally good lover, and in that moment, Daniel had no idea how Louis could ever grow tired of him.

If he was my boyfriend… Daniel thought.

“You’d what?” Armand asked.

Shit, Daniel forgot Armand could read his mind.  

Armand thrusted harder. “You’d what, Daniel? Say it."

Daniel licked his lips and looked back at the vampire as Armand continued to fuck him. “You’d never leave the damn house,” Daniel said, feeling his cheeks heat up. “I’d keep you tied to my bed like my personal fuck toy.”

Armand groaned at that. He jerked Daniel up again to press himself against Daniel’s back and fuck him even deeper. Daniel moaned wantonly.

Armand’s lips parted, and the motion of his hips grew sloppier. Daniel knew he had struck something with his words. He decided there was nothing in the world he wanted more at that moment than to make Armand come, so he kept going.

“I bet you’d like that, huh?” he taunted. “God, I’d give anything to see how pretty you look riding my dick.”

Armand moaned, seemingly surprised by Daniel’s dominant words. Daniel could tell that Armand liked to play the submissive role just as much as he was enjoying fucking Daniel now. He bet, typically, Armand probably preferred to be the more submissive partner.

“Armand,” Daniel said softly, looking the vampire in the eyes, not sure what had come over him, “you’re so fucking pretty. I… I need you to come for me."

Armand’s fangs protruded from his mouth, and without warning, he bit into Daniel’s shoulder as he moaned and came, spilling inside Daniel.

Daniel cried out at the sensation. It hurt, but it also felt so good.

After having a moment to collect himself, chest still heaving, Armand spun Daniel around and laid him back onto the kitchen table. Daniel looked at him curiously.

“What are you…?”

“You’re going to come in my mouth now,” Armand said, his eyes wild. “I need to taste you.” He leaned down to take Daniel’s dick in his mouth for the second time that day.

Daniel’s eyes rolled back in his head as the vampire sucked him off so sweetly. So unhurriedly. The vampire was enjoying taking his time and making Daniel squirm. Armand took Daniel all the way to the back of his throat with ease, clearly experienced in the area. Daniel wasn’t sure how long he’d last, already being incredibly close just from taking Armand’s dick in his ass.

“Armand,” Daniel whined, grasping the back of Armand’s head and shoving his dick further down his throat. “God, baby, you’re so good at that.”

Armand hummed around Daniel’s cock at the word “baby.” Daniel wondered if he liked being called that. Daniel certainly liked saying it.

“I-I’m close, but you don’t have to—” Daniel started, moving his hand to give Armand the option to pull away if Armand didn’t want Daniel to come down his throat.

Armand only moved faster, grabbing Daniel’s ass for support.

“God… I…” Daniel said, and then he was coming. Hard. He made a few noises he wasn’t too proud of.

When he was done climaxing, Armand slowly pulled off of Daniel, giving the tip of his dick one final suck as he made eye contact with Daniel and swallowed his cum.

Daniel shuddered. His heart was beating out of his chest.

Armand stood. He was again taller than Daniel. The vampire looked down at the young man with an unreadable expression. If Daniel didn’t know any better, he would’ve mistaken it for awe. But that couldn’t be. Armand didn’t care for Daniel in any remarkable way. He was just a way to get back at Louis.

Armand cleared his throat. “Very good. Now… rest.”

And with that, Daniel’s body fell to the floor, and he was again unable to move. It was like his body was a rag doll.

Armand put his clothing back on in a hurry and made his way to the front door. He paused and glanced back at Daniel one final time.

“When I return, we’ll talk again.”

As the young man Daniel Molloy stood before him, quivering, the vampire Armand felt an overwhelming urge to rip the boy’s head off.

What was so special about this boy? Armand wondered, his rage simmering underneath his skin and burning him like the sun. He couldn’t think clearly for his desire to kill Daniel, but also… There was another emotional. Anger, yes, but also an insatiable thirst to discover what it was about this boy that Louis was so… fascinated by.

“Please, man, I’m just a shitty little kid from Modesto,” Daniel was saying.

Armand sat in a chair before Daniel, looking up at him with an expression the young man could not decipher.

“That warrants investigation,” Armand responded plainly.

“I could be on my knees in a second,” Daniel offered.

Armand chuckled darkly, raising his eyebrows. Oh, yes? he thought. With one look, Armand used his powers to bring Daniel crashing down to his knees on the floor of the apartment. Daniel grunted in surprise.

“Bartering with desire,” Armand said. “Is that what makes you fascinating?”

Daniel was truly scared now. Armand could see it in his eyes. The young man was crying, most likely desperately trying to think of ways to sway this situation in his favor. He knew he was going to die.

But Armand didn’t want that.

“You’re going to teach me how to be fascinating,” Armand said, leaning forward in his chair as Daniel remained on his knees before him.

“Leave him be, Armand!” Louis shouted from the other room.

Louis. Armand’s companion, who had called him boring. Dull. Decidedly not fascinating. Not like Daniel.

Armand glanced at the door to the bedroom, and it slammed shut, blocking Louis’s view of the scene. Although…

I should make him watch, Armand thought, but the idea was fleeting. No. Armand wanted to enjoy this moment with Daniel all by himself. He didn’t want Louis’s pleas to get in the way.

“Please, man,” Daniel said, still on his knees, looking up at Armand. His body had a sheen of sweat. He was shaking. “I’ll do anything. Just please don’t kill me.”

Armand smiled wolfishly, his fangs on display. “Kill you?” He sat back in his chair. “No, no, no. I don’t want to kill you.”

Daniel seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. His shaking subsided just a hair, and his shoulders slumped. “N-no?”

“No,” Armand whispered. He licked his lips.

Daniel gulped. While he was scared out of his wits, he couldn’t help but feel… a strange pull toward the older vampire. He had offered to be on his knees for him, and, well… He had meant it.

The journalist hated to admit that, despite the circumstances, he was extremely attracted to Armand. The vampire was undeniably beautiful, with dark skin, curly black hair, and piercing red eyes. Not to mention the way his shirt fit his frame so well, and the way his pants hugged his hips and thighs in all the right places…

Okay, so maybe Daniel was very, extremely attracted to Armand. But now wasn’t the time for that.

Except… Why was Armand looking at Daniel like he wanted to…

“Take off your clothes, Daniel,” Armand spoke lowly, his eyes never leaving Daniel’s.

Daniel felt himself shiver. “W-what?”

“W-what!?” Armand mocked him, tilting his head. “I said, take your clothes off. Louis fucked you, did he not?”

Daniel felt his fear spike again. “N-no!” he said quickly, shaking his head fiercely. “No, man, I swear. He didn’t…”

“Didn’t what?” Armand asked, feeling his anger rise again.

“He didn’t want to,” Daniel said. “Didn’t want me.”

Armand narrowed his eyes. He didn’t believe that for one second.

“Lies,” Armand said, his gaze turning predatory. “Since you have no apparent qualities which would make you so fascinating, it must’ve been your sexual performance that enticed my companion so.”

“So…” Armand continued. “You’re going to teach me what Louis likes. What I…” He swallowed, unable to continue for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice was gravelly, “What I am not providing for him.”

Daniel swallowed hard. “Man, come on,” he said jokingly, hoping to make light of the situation. “Louis’s right in the other room.”

Armand’s eyes darkened, and his expression turned into one that made Daniel chill. The vampire spoke calmly, “I know. He can listen as I take you in my mouth. As I fuck you. And you’re going to tell me how boring you find it.”

Shit. Daniel always knew his sexual fantasies were… a little fucked up. Not normal. But he hated himself for how his trousers were already tenting with evidence of his desire at Armand’s direct words.

Armand noticed immediately. He chuckled darkly. “You’re already hard. A willingness to please your partner, an easiness… Is that what makes you fascinating, Daniel?”

Daniel knew Armand was being condescending, but he’d be damned if the vampire’s words weren’t causing him to grow even harder.

“Do you like being told what to do?” Armand crooned, his voice the texture of silk, caressing Daniel’s mind and body. Armand crooked a finger, motioning Daniel to rise and come forward.

Daniel, damn him, didn’t hesitate. His body was finally free of whatever was controlling it. He quickly stood and took two steps forward so he was standing between Armand’s open legs as he remained in the chair. Daniel shed his shirt and started to unzip his trousers. Before long, he was entirely naked before Armand. And, damn him, he was hard as a rock.

There was something about Armand’s quiet dominance that made Daniel entirely weak and pliant to the vampire’s every whim. He couldn’t help himself. He wanted Armand. And… he wanted Louis to hear it.

Armand looked up at Daniel through long, dark lashes. God, he was beautiful, Daniel thought.

Armand dropped his gaze to Daniel’s cock and leaned forward, slowly taking the journalist in his mouth.

Daniel gasped as Armand took him all the way to the back of his throat immediately, swallowing around him. “Fuck,” Daniel groaned. He lightly placed a hand on the back of Armand’s head, not thinking to ask if that was okay.

To his surprise, Armand moaned at the contact. Was he… also aroused? Daniel assumed this was more of a hate fuck, something to get back at Louis. But as Armand continued to lick and suck Daniel’s cock, and continued to hum so sweetly around him, Daniel realized that maybe Armand was actually into this.

God, his mouth felt good. Armand reached behind his head to grab the hand Daniel had placed there. Armand squeezed Daniel’s hand and pressed it further into his hair, as if to say, harder.

Daniel chuckled at Armand’s wanton display of enjoyment and pleasure. He laced his fingers through Armand’s soft dark hair and tugged. Armand moaned.

“You… you like this, don’t you?” Daniel asked, his voice breathless. When Armand continued to suck him off in response, Daniel felt a growing confidence blooming in his chest. “Yeah, you do. God, and you’re good at it, too.” And because of this growing confidence, Daniel stupidly said before he could think it through, “Louis’s a fucking idiot for not appreciating this hot mouth.”

And just like that, Armand froze. His mouth slid off Daniel’s cock, and he stood so that he was looking down on Daniel. His amber eyes, Daniel noticed, seemed to buzz. Armand looked… furious.

The vampire roughly grabbed Daniel’s chin and forced him to meet his eyes. “What did you say?”

Daniel gulped. Armand’s grip on his face was so tight it hurt, and Daniel winced. “I-I’m sorry, man. I shouldn’t have brought him up. I just thought—”

“You thought what, exactly?” Armand asked. “That you could utter my companion’s name in such a crass and belittling manner? Do not speak his name again.”

Daniel nodded fervently. “Got it. S-sorry.”

Daniel’s cock was leaking pre-cum despite the intensity of the situation, and Armand tilted his head, looking down to observe this very thing. He reached down and began stroking Daniel. Slowly. Painfully… while still gripping Daniel’s chin and forcing him to look at the vampire.

“Christ,” Daniel uttered, his eyelids fluttering. Armand seemed to like this.

“Yes,” Armand said, “Say his name.”

Daniel bit his lip and let loose a breathy moan. He was close, and Armand knew it. Right when Daniel was about to come, Armand removed his hand and seemed to use his powers to freeze Daniel’s body again. It was like Daniel had no control. He couldn’t move his arms or legs.

“Shit,” Daniel cursed, painfully hard with no release, and unable to move.

Armand smiled darkly down at Daniel. “What’s wrong, sweet boy?” he asked, and Daniel shivered at the pet name. “Did you think I’d allow you to spill into my hand?”

Daniel hated himself for this, but he couldn’t stop the whine in his voice when he said, “P-please.”

Armand cupped his ear and leaned forward. “I didn’t hear you?”

“Please,” Daniel begged, hating his vulnerability but also incredibly turned on. “Please, I… I need to come.”

Armand chuckled, seemingly pleased with Daniel’s words. “Hmm. Not yet.”

Daniel closed his eyes and took a deep breath to steady himself. He hurt so bad. Then, suddenly, Daniel had control of his body again. He could move. He opened his eyes to find Armand had moved to stand behind him.

 Armand leaned in to whisper against Daniel’s ear, “Bend over the table.”

Daniel couldn’t help it; he moaned at the vampire’s words. He took a few steps over to the kitchen table Armand was referring to and slowly bent forward to lay his chest on the table and stick his ass out. He looked back over his shoulder to see Armand unbuttoning his shirt, one button at a time. Slowly. Then, he removed his trousers.

God, he was hot. Daniel had never seen a more beautiful man. His arms were toned. Not extremely muscled, but fit. And his chest hair… Christ.

Armand stalked over to where Daniel was bent over and slowly ran his fingers from the top of Daniel’s spine all the way down to his ass.

“Do you want this, Daniel?” Armand asked softly, although Daniel didn’t think he had much of a choice in the matter.

Luckily, he did want this. “Y-yes,” Daniel responded quietly, his face burning with shame.

Armand tsked and leaned forward so that his chest was brushed up against Daniel’s back. “Say it louder, dear. I want Louis to hear you.”

Daniel groaned at how wrong this all was. He swallowed and then said, louder, “Yes, I want this.”

Armand shoved Daniel’s face into the kitchen table. “Very good.”
