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. 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.

Four Free Queer Books – including Fiorenzo!

If you’ve been waiting to read Fiorenzo, QueeRomance Ink has a wonderful opportunity for you to snag a free copy – plus three more queer romance books! – when you join their mailing list.

Fiorenzo is a queer fantasy-of-manners romance featuring swordplay, hurt/comfort, and a happily-ever-after.

Fiore has a plan. Find a wealthy elderly gentleman, delight him until the end of his days, and retire on the resulting inheritance. It’s the best outcome a low-born courtesan in the city of Halcyon can hope for.

And it seems a perfect scheme… until a mysterious masked man upends it.

Banished from university after a disastrous duel, Enzo wanders the city searching for scraps of the affection he’s lost. His public mask conceals private agonies. A single night in the company of a courtesan, however, balms his wounded heart, and he finds himself returning again and again to Fiore, revealing more of himself than he’s ever dared before.

Furthermore, and more astonishing still, Fiore finds he returns Enzo’s affections.

But while Fiore wears no mask, he nonetheless has secrets of his own. And when the ghosts of their pasts return to haunt them, only the bond of trust between them will carry them through.

~

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.”
