Malory glanced between them, looking as though he’d forgotten how to breathe and didn’t particularly mind it.

Octavio slipped a hand behind the nape of his neck and kissed the breath back into him.

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. 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. 6 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

Chapter Six of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein Malory and Talfryn enjoy a tryst in the monastery ruins.

~

“Do you consider my debt repaid, sir?”

Malory hesitated. By his own reckoning, Talfryn had more than repaid him. Yet, if Malory admitted as much, Talfryn might well pack up and leave the ruined monastery forever.

Talfryn smiled. “Unless you’d prefer I remain.”

Malory swallowed hard. “Perhaps we might come to some arrangement.”

Talfryn grinned. A beautiful grin. One in which Malory couldn’t help noticing peculiar pointed eye-teeth that leant a feral aspect to the whole.

Yet the sight did not deter him from twining his fingers through those dark curls as Talfryn devoured him in another kiss.

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.”
