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.
