Ch. 10 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

Chapter Ten of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet has a visitor in the night.

~

The lonely sleep of a bachelor baronet bereft of bosom companionship did not come easily to Malory. Even more than a year later. Many a night he spent staring up into the darkness waiting for unpleasant dreams to claim him.

As such, on this particular night, the slight scratching sound at his window proved more than enough to rouse him.

Ch. 9 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon

Chapter Nine of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun confess and consummate.

~

“Do you regret it?”

Malory caught his apology on his tongue. Of course he regretted any discomfort or embarrassment he’d caused. Yet the bo’sun did not appear discomforted or embarrassed. A gleam of intrigue lit up those dark and compelling eyes, and the ghost of a smile played at the corners of those full lips which Malory wished to kiss again. The memory of last night, the taste of wine and salt and the intoxicating scent of another man’s musk, threatened to overwhelm him even now.

“Do you regret it?” Malory echoed at last.

The bo’sun gave him a considering look. “I only regret you were not sober.”

Malory didn’t dare to hope he’d heard him correctly. Yet he heard himself reply, “I’m sober now.”

Ch. 8 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

Chapter Eight of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun drink deep.

~

“I think,” Octavio murmured against the baronet’s lips, “you ought to go to bed, sir.”

The gleam in Sir Malory’s eyes as he pulled back told Octavio he hadn’t spoken plain enough.

“Alone, sir,” Octavio added.

The spark of delight faded and the baronet’s eager smile fell as, slowly yet surely, he realised the meaning behind Octavio’s words. Octavio kept his own face blank even as Sir Malory searched it in desperation. Then the baronet licked his lips and swallowed hard. His chair scraped against the floorboards as he stood.

“Right,” said Sir Malory, no longer looking at Octavio but at anywhere else in the dark corners of the study. His hands flexed at his sides before settling to fiddle with his cuff-links. “Yes. Well.”

Octavio remained seated and silent as a stone.

Ch. 7 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

Chapter Seven of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun go hunting.

~

Wolves were driven out of Britain almost a century hence. Certainly no wolf had been seen within the bounds of Ferndale Priory in Malory’s lifetime. Therefore the beast standing before him could not possibly be a wolf. It must be a wolf-hound, of Irish or Scottish make, though the long and crooked muzzle didn’t resemble any wolf-hound Malory had ever known. Nor did the glinting yellow eyes.
