Ch. 4 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

Chapter Four of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein Octavio encounters a mysterious and handsome stranger.

~

“Care for a drink?” Octavio asked, thinking of the tavern in the village.

The stranger’s eyes glinted in the moonlight. “I care more for good company.”

“One might have both.”

A wry smile wound its way up the stranger’s cheek. His eye-teeth sat a little larger and further ahead than the rest of his mouth, but by far not the strangest set Octavio had seen since he set foot on English shores. “One might have both, indeed.”

Ch. 3 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

Chapter Three of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n!

~

A book lay open on the counter by the stove.

“There’s a chapter on receipts for captains of ships, though I daresay my uncle has had his fill of seaworthy fare.”

Octavio privately agreed.

“And another,” Miss Ferndale continued, “called, ‘Read this Chapter, and you will find how expensive a French Cook’s Sauce is.’ Which, if my father had seen it, would put us all in a very different position from the one in which you find us at present, Mr Bo’sun.”

Octavio suppressed a smile. “Just bo’sun, ma’am.”

“As you will.” She glanced about the kitchen. “You would not object to peeling potatoes, bo’sun?”

“Easier’n peelin’ a whale,” Octavio replied.

Miss Ferndale paused in the midst of handing him a knife. “Do you peel whales?”

“Aye,” said Octavio, accepting the knife and approaching the potatoes Abigail set out on the table. “More like an orange than a potato, now that I think on it. But peeled, all right. To strip the blubber off and melt it down into oil,” he added in response to the women’s bewildered looks.

“The peel is more valued than the fruit, then,” said Miss Ferndale, turning to her receipt-book. “Though I suppose it wouldn’t do to candy it.”

Octavio chuckled. He glimpsed the ghost of a smile flickering at the corner of Miss Ferndale’s mouth in reply.

Ch. 2 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

Chapter Two of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n!

~

The dark eyes swept over Malory’s frame, casting lingering glances like caresses on his collar, throat, and mouth, before the beatific smile returned to those handsome lips as they murmured, “Perhaps we may find some more amicable means of settling accounts.”

Malory opened his mouth. No words emerged. His mind had filled with notions he dared not speak. Notions which the stranger surely hadn’t intended. He shut his jaw, swallowed hard, and tried again. “I shall return on the morrow. If I find you here then…”

He had intended for the words to sound like a threat. But as the dark eyes before him lit up with intrigue, he realized they had emerged more in the shape of a promise.

“Return whenever you like,” Talfryn replied. “The hour matters not—I keep rather odd hours myself. You shall find me just as ready after nightfall as in the broad light of day. If not moreso.”

Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon

A thrilling new story begins on Patre♡n! Welcome to Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance.

~

“There’s the old hulk now, my lad! What d’you think o’ her?”

At his captain’s bidding, Octavio Peixinho peered out the coach window at the mansion appearing through the trees at a bend in the long winding road. Sitting as he did with his back to the horses, he had to lean forward quite a ways to catch sight of it.

The sight proved worth catching. Ferndale Priory loomed over the landscape like a palace. Bigger, certainly, than the bark Octavio and his captain had left behind in New Bedford. Captain Ferndale had told him how the house stood on the ancient ruin of a monastery, and Octavio could see some hints of it in the style of the house now—the pointed arch of the tall and narrow windows, the notched rim of the roof and towers, and the spires springing up like whale-spouts from every corner. One of the spires, however, had broken off, and this, combined with the patches of crumbling stone, the empty shadows lurking behind most of the windows, and the sunken-in look of the roof over the eastern flank, marred the magnificence of its immense size.

Octavio turned back to his captain. “Seems hardly seaworthy.”

Captain Ferndale gave a hearty laugh. He’d seen some fifty-odd years of life—and most of them at sea—yet he wore his wisdom well, with a handsome smile showing through his close-trimmed beard. “I’d say ‘thar she blows,’ but the chimneys ain’t lit. Daresay my nevvy can’t afford to, with what debts my brother left him.”

Hold Fast 2 – Hold Faster – Now on Patreon!

Hold Fast 2 – Hold Faster is up on Patre♡n! Wherein we glimpse the ongoing romance of Morgan Turner and Sir Evelyn Winthrop.

~

Morgan raised an eyebrow. “Did you enjoy traveling as a merchant seaman?”

“It had its moments,” Evelyn admitted.

“Do tell.” The trace of a smile graced the corners of Morgan’s lips, which was as good as a grin on another man’s face.
“The boiler room, for one.”

This statement did nothing to dispel Morgan’s bemusement. “I never realized you had such a passion for coal.”

“I could take or leave the coal. My fellow stokers, on the other hand…” Evelyn trailed off just long enough for Morgan to catch his drift before he dove ahead. “Six brawny men to each furnace, all stripped to the waist.”

Morgan’s bemusement vanished.

Evelyn continued. “Sweat gleaming in the firelight as we bend and twist to shovel coal. Thrusting our lances into the flames and withdrawing to feed the draught.”

A hard swallow traveled down Morgan’s slender throat.

A Willing Canvas – John Halloway x Lord Cyril Graves on Patreon!

A Willing Canvas is up on Patre♡n! Wherein we glimpse the romance of John Halloway and Lord Cyril Graves beyond society’s prying eyes.

~

“Well?” John demanded.

Cyril licked his lips. “By Jove, that’s impressive.”

John’s irritation transformed into delight at the rare compliment. Whether Graves spoke of the pencil sketch or the flesh-and-blood contusions, both were John’s handiwork, and gave him no small glow of pride.

Though he still very much wanted his sketchbook back.
