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. 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.
