Charlvern

Charles's POV:

I climbed out of the shower and wrapped my body up in a towel before stepping out into the bedroom and walked over to Pierre before smacking his chest. "Hey, let's go out tonight." He looked up at me and then rubbed his chest before he smirked and then grabbed my hands, pulling me down into his lap and kissed me passionately.

"Go out tonight, mi amour?" He asked me lovingly, running his fingers through my hair and then used his other hand, discarding my towel and tossed it across the room. "Where to?" I shook my hair like a dog to mess with him.

"I thought we'd go check in on my bar," I told him softly. "My maker is out on a boat, we've got the whole night to ourselves." He smirked and then nodded.

"Okay, we'll go hang out at the bar tonight then," he purred to me and then leaned into my neck, biting in and marked me. I moaned and gripped his shirt before sitting up on him, forcing his fangs out of my neck.

"Pierre," I groaned. "We're going out tonight."

"Uh huh, I know," he purred at me and then rubbed my cheek then my thighs slightly. "I just wanted a taste," he said sweetly. "Go get ready mi amour," he told me and then patted my leg before he removed his hands and gave me a quick kiss.

"You. Threw. My. Fucking. Towel." I smirked at him. "Go get it."

"Go get it?" He purred and smirked at me. "Alright," he husked out at me and then stood up, picking me up by my hips and carrying me across the room with him. He leaned my back against the bed and then kissed me passionately, running his fingers down my sides. I let out a growl at him and smirked before changing his gender to mess with him. She yelped and pulled away from me quickly, looking down at her chest with wide eyes. "Charles!" She cried out in panic then blushed at me before she put a hand over her mouth and walked over to my towel, picking it up and throwing it at me. "You better change me back! I don't want periods!"

"I think I'll make you have one anyways," I told her and smirked. "Don't throw my towels." She widened her eyes then.

"Charles! Please," she begged me and then walked over to me, sitting down on the edge of the bed. "You won't like the sex as much.... I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be satisfied with me being a girl... and then they get emotional towards their monthlies. You don't know how to deal with that, and I'm sure you don't want to!"

"I don't have to," I purred. "I'll lock you up in here and leave you for a month straight." She whined then.

"That's no fair Charles," she muttered then got up. "You wouldn't be purring if you were turned into a girl! My chest feels heavy...." She looked at her chest then and frowned before she started walking to the closet. "I better go find an undershirt or something...." I laughed and let her become a male again. I got to my feet and walked back into the bathroom, going to the sink and started to brush my teeth. I heard Pierre purr in delight at the change back before he left the closet and went back to the bed, falling down onto it. When I finished brushing my teeth, I put my hair up into a man bun before going into the closet, putting on a tank top, hoodie, jeans, and vans. I walked out to him and slipped on top of his lap, smirking.

"Let's go," I told him firmly. "Before we go we should get some blood." He smirked and then nodded, rubbing my hips as he sat up and then leaned into my neck.

"How about... I drink from you... and then we get you some bottled blood~?" He purred into my ear then scrapped his fangs against my neck. I laughed and shoved him backwards on his chest before getting up and started for the door.

"Nope, you need human blood tonight." I heard him groan and he got to his feet, following after me.

"Do I have to? I don't like it as much as I like drinking from you, and you're my mate as well.... I drank a little bottled blood last night.... Could I just drink from a human at the bar? That's better than bottled blood and I'd enjoy it so much more~" He purred as he thought about it.

"But I'd get jealous," I mumbled.

"You could feed off her with me," he suggested with a purr. "We could feed off of the same human together and then feed on each other~! It would be interesting to try out."

"Her? No way. Nope. I'm not allowing this. We're going to get some bottled blood in the kitchen and that's it." He frowned then.

"Does the gender choice bother you? I thought picking a female would be better because we're both males and we sleep together, so I thought you'd be less jealous because you know I like you and males more," he mumbled and then grabbed my hand with a sigh. "Fine, we can drink the bottled blood to make you happy though." He started to tug me out of the room and down the hall, giving my hand a squeeze.

"No, I disapprove of it entirely because we need to be drinking from bottled blood and not from each other or a human that could give her blood to someone that needs it more than us. So we're drinking our bottled blood we keep here." He nodded and then looked down at me, kissing the top of my head.

"Okay," he said lovingly. "That makes sense instead of just jealousy of it being a female," he told me and then nipped at the top of my ear teasingly. "Can I get some wine at the bar while we're there?"

"I'm not sure if you should be allowed to drink," I mumbled. "You might trap me in your arms and drain me of my blood."

"Drain completely? Why on earth would I do that? I might try to have sex with you on the bar, but I don't think I would drain you completely," he purred and laughed a little.

"Well you never know, you might want the last couple of days of me being a fledgling as yours. That would actually be scary." I frowned at the thought. My mate stealing me from my maker at last second. He looked at me then and smirked, the idea being placed in his head. I could tell he hadn't thought about it before, and he looked towards my neck eagerly. I widened my eyes. I need to stop giving him ideas. He purred to me and then leaned in towards my neck, grazing his fangs against my skin and gave a playful growl, pushing me up against a wall.

"Now you know..." I trailed. "We're drinking blood in the kitchen." He ran his hands down to my hips and then gave them a small squeeze before he bit into my neck, ignoring what I said. "Pierre!" I groaned. He better not be taking me up on the idea I just gave him. He rubbed my hips again and marked me again to calm me down before he removed his fangs and started to drink my blood with a purr, pressing his weight up against mine. I let out a small moan and leaned my head back against the wall. He can have some of my blood... but he's still going to have to drink a bottle from in the kitchen. He can't just drink from me. He licked my neck, purring in pleasure as he drank from me. He slipped his hands into my back pockets and gave my butt a squeeze with a teasing growl. I gasped and moved closer to his body. "You're still going to have to drink some blood in the kitchen," I mumbled to him.

"Really?" He murmured to me and then kissed my neck before he purred teasingly and then moved towards the crook of my neck and bit in again, giving me another mark as he pushed up against me and pulled me close against him. I closed my eyes and nodded towards him.

"Yes," I whispered. "You will." He licked my neck then and pulled a hand out of my back pocket, reaching down to the back of my thigh. He rubbed it and then started to pull it up towards his hips. I blushed and wrapped my legs around his hips before holding his shoulders tightly. He purred and then slipped his hand back to my butt, holding me up by it then pulled his face away from my neck and started to kiss me passionately.

"Charles~" I heard Chance giggling as he came running around a corner. He stopped as he saw us and tilted his head. "Whatcha two playing?" He asked innocently. Pierre pulled away from my lips and then looked towards Chance with wide eyes who started to walk towards us again.

"We're playing a grown ups game," I told him calmly. "Where's your sister?"

"I dunno," he said cutely and gave me a huge grin. "Want me to go find her? I could smell her out for you~"

"You should go find her and then tell her she's it. Go play tag with her." I gave him a sweet smile. Chance giggled and nodded before he let out a howl and started to run off.

"SISSY! I'M GONNA TAG YOU!" He called out, giggling as he ran off. Pierre laughed and then kissed my neck after he disappeared around the corner and gave me a playful growl.

"A grown up's game? I think I know what we're going to play before sunrise then... when we come back from the bar," he teased me.

"We're going to watch a movie together, right?" I asked sweetly. He pulled back from my neck and then gave me a considering look before he smirked.

"We could watch an adult's movie," he told me and laughed, giving my butt a squeeze. "Or are you wanting a break from my hotness and want to cuddle and watch a movie that families can watch?"

"We should watch Narnia," I told him sweetly. "What do you think? Are you ready for your bottle of blood?" He nodded and then ran his hand up to my thigh, moving it down off his hips as he pulled away from me.

"Yeah, let's go get the bottled blood," he told me and gave me a loving smile. "I think I will let you take a break too.... I wouldn't mind just simply watching a movie with you instead of finding new places to bite you." I blushed and got out of his arms. I started off for the kitchen to go get that bottle of blood I've been wanting since I woke up. He followed after me and hummed lightly as he watched me then walked past me once we were in the kitchen. He laughed and then got us both a bottled blood and gave me mine as he cracked his open and took a sip from it. "So we're going to the bar... and then maybe I should take you out to the movies as well before we come home? Then we'll come home and watch Narnia together from each other's arms. Sounds like a romantic evening."

"No, we're not going to the movies tonight." I shook my head as I started to suck down my bottled blood after opening it.

"Okay, so bar then we come home and watch Narnia," he hummed out and gave me a sweet smile. He finished up his bottle of blood then tossed it in the trash before he stretched, his slight muscles catching my eyes as their lines became more enhanced through his shirt. He sat on top of the counter and watched me, purring sweetly as he watched me drinking down my bottle of blood. I finished off my blood and sat the bottle on the counter.

"Nope," I told him and went into the fridge, getting another bottle. "That's not what we're doing tonight." He frowned then and watched me.

"So what are we doing then? I know we're going to the bar...." He eyed down the extra bottle I had gotten and looked a little concerned then looked back at my eyes. I opened the bottle and started to drink it.

"Come on, you'll see." I smirked and started off for the garage to get a car. I finished off the bottle and sat it on a hall table. He followed me quickly, looking confused as he was hot on my tail.

"Is it a surprise or something?" He asked me softly.

"Oh, no. You'll see though." I hummed as I grabbed a set of keys and got into a red sports car. He frowned and got into the passenger seat with me.

"Can I know before I see?" He asked me and then tilted his head.

"Yeah, I'm taking you to a tribe of green people," I told him and hooked my phone up to the speakers before putting a Pandora channel on. I started the drive then out to my bar. "We might end up sleeping at my place too," I told him. "We'll have to see how it goes."

"A tribe of green people? Like those trolls or something that Laurence mentioned," he asked me and then curled his hair around his fingers.

"Yeah," I mumbled. "We're going to go see the people who raised me and tell them I'm part of the undead."

"You mean you never went and told them, knowing they were supernatural and you could?! That's kind of messed up. I would've told my family if I could've," he told me and then frowned.

"Well I had a maker watching me and I don't think I want to go in and be like hey, this is my maker and I have to be with him for five years while he raises me- sorry you can't teach me what he can mom and dad. Love you but I gotta go now before the sun catches me on fire." He bit his bottom lip then nodded.

"I guess that makes sense," he murmured. "You'll be old enough to leave your maker soon anyways.... I hope they don't believe you're dead." He rubbed his neck then and looked out the window before his eyes widened. "OH MY LORD, I'm going to meet your parents?! I would've worn something so much more presentable! What if they don't like me?! Holy crap! We're going to your parents who don't know if you're alive or not possibly, and you're also going to be introducing your mate to them too!" He blushed and sunk into his seat.

"They were looking for me, it's obvious. They sent a dream troll here for me because that's where my charm bracelet is and it's been in the castle since I gave it up so I wouldn't hurt people. So I assume they think I'm alive and a vampire in the castle or something. I don't think they'll be that upset..." I trailed off. He looked towards me and nodded.

"Oh... okay, so they don't think you're dead... but we are going there and they might not know about me?"

"Does it matter?" I purred. "It's not like they'll be upset you're a dude. It's not like I can give them grandchildren anyways in this state. Plus I'll tell them how I became a vampire, after all it wasn't by choice. It was an accident." He looked at me and then nodded.

"Okay," he purred softly, calming down. "As long as they won't be too upset that I'm your mate.... I guess I could charm them with my French manners if they are unsure about me."

"I don't think they'll be mad and not like you," I purred sweetly. He laughed and then nodded.

"Mkay," he said sweetly and then leaned over, kissing my cheek. "I love you Charles," he told me and then gave my neck a small kiss before he pulled back in his seat and gave a huge smile. "I'm going to meet your family.... That's going to be fun~ I definitely won't get drunk at the bar then. I want to be presentable...." I smirked and swung us by a Cook Out and bought us some fries and chocolate milk shakes before continuing the drive out to my bar. He sipped on his and purred happily then ate a fry. "So what are they like?"

"My parents?" I asked curiously. "Well they're really amazing. They raised a little boy that wasn't their own and gave him all the love they could manage to give him. My mom is an artist and my father is a business man." I started to eat my fries and sung along to a song by The Neighborhood. He smiled a little at that.

"That does sound great," he murmured. "Did you ever learn anything artistic from your mom?" He turned in the side of his seat to face me, eating a fry as he watched me with interest.

"A sense of fashion," I mumbled. "I lost it when I met my maker." I took a sip of my milkshake. "She's going to wonder what happened to me," I chuckled out. "She can draw a log cabin that's more beautiful then the lake that reflects a blue sky." He widened his eyes a bit and I heard a purr escape him at the thought.

"She sounds amazing," he whispered wistfully and then ate another fry. "I can't wait to meet her! Her art sounds great~"

"Yeah, I love them." I whispered and looked out of the window. "I've missed them but I wasn't sure if I'd hurt them so I made sure to keep away. I don't think I'll hurt them now though."

"Well, considering that you're going to be five soon, I don't think you will.... You could even move back in with them soon if you want," he mumbled to me.

"I wasn't living with them when I was made," I hissed. "I had my own place. I have my own bar, and I was running a smooth operation. Rarest animals I could find and a whole bunch of dragon eggs." He widened his eyes a bit and shrunk back from me.

"Oh...." He mumbled and then ate another fry, looking out the window then.

"I was doing good for a human," I purred as I remembered how I had vampires feeding out of the palm of my hand. "Then it all went down the sink hole."

"I'm sorry," he whispered to me and looked back towards me. "Aren't you happier now though? Or does it really bother you still?" He bit his bottom lip slightly and watched me.

"It's never bothered me until now," I mumbled. "But now I am what I had gripped by the balls several years ago." I laughed and ate another fry. He frowned and then leaned over, giving my cheek a kiss then my neck one.

"I'm sorry baby," he mumbled. "If you weren't a vampire though... we might've never met," he whispered to me and then gave my neck another kiss.

"Oh yeah, and I would be aging." I looked towards him and kissed his cheek. "That would have sucked."

"Uh huh... and if I had found you a human, I would've turned you anyways. I'm selfish like that," he purred softly to me and then gave me another kiss on the neck. "I might still be with my old master if we hadn't met at the ball either... and I would've grown up to be awful, and I definitely would've turned you if I found you somewhere."

"I bet that would have been sexy," I teased him. He purred then and nipped at my ear.

"I'd be more kinky too~" He teased me lightly. "I'd be impossible to manage."

"That's you now," I purred and started to kick the speed up to go over the speed limit as we went around a sharp curve. He looked towards the road quickly and tensed up a bit until we had passed it then looked back at me.

"Am I really impossible to manage?" He purred at me and then gave my neck another soft kiss. "I didn't realize I was impossible to you~" I smirked and looked towards him.

"Eat your food," I purred. He gave me a playful growl and then nipped at my nose before he put a fry in his mouth and ate it. He kissed my shoulder then and purred softly. I finished off my fries and started to suck down the milk shake. He watched me and then leaned back in his seat, starting to eat his food as he purred happily.

"You know... maybe I could take you to France for a week or something because I can't actually let you meet my family. It'd be a replacement," he hummed out.

"To France?" I purred at the thought. "Paris?" I asked.

"Uh huh, the capital of romance, and also where I'm from," he told me and laughed, looking towards me. "We could hang around it for a week or something like that, and I could show you around. It'd make up for me not being able to let you meet my family since how they're a bunch of humans."

"We could observe them from afar," I suggested. He looked at me and then gave a small nod.

"We could... and it'd be like a romantic get away for us." He laughed and then finished his food. He leaned over and gave me a kiss then purred sweetly to me.

"Or we could spend our night just in bed there," I purred softly.

"I think we'll do both. We will observe them for one night and spend the rest of it enjoying each other as mates," he told me and then playfully licked my neck before he kissed my cheek. "It'll be a trip you'll never be able to forget~ That way you get to see where I came from, my family, and we'll be there as mates too! Of course, I'll go all out and get us a luxurious room that is normally intended for rich honeymooners. It'll be fun~! No one to bother us and no worries till we come home to everyone here." He purred and rubbed my shoulder before he gave my cheek another kiss. "It'll be amazing~" He gave me a loving look and purred sweetly.

"It sounds amazing, let's hope we don't get caught~" I purred. "I don't want my maker freaking out because I left the castle... but since I'm with you he might make an exception."

"I will make sure we don't get caught by your maker. I will tell Everest where we are going and leave it at that so at least if something goes wrong, we didn't just disappear to them... or I might tell Milo instead... someone we trust...." He looked at me thoughtfully and then purred. "I will start setting up our trip tomorrow night, mi amour," he purred sweetly to me and then gave my cheek another kiss. "I'm so happy you like this idea~ I can't wait to show you Paris!" He laughed happily and sat back in his seat with a purr. "It's going to be so fun taking my mate there with me~"

"Tomorrow night?" I asked and purred. "You sound so ready to go on it." I tsked softly before stopping just outside of the bridge straight over to my bar. I parked in a brand new parking lot put in before getting out with the keys. I looked towards him and leaned up against the car, waiting on him. "Does this mean I need to find something else to do to occupy my time while you're planning?" I asked sweetly.

"No, because it won't take me long," he purred to me and got out of the car, walking around to me. "I'll get our plan tickets and reservations for the hotel and a few restaurants~ I know which ones I want already for us, so I can honestly do it while you're driving tonight if you'd like so we don't waste anytime together tomorrow night." He smirked softly at me and took my hand in his then gave it a light kiss. "I know you like time with me~"

"Well of course I do! My maker is off on a cruise.... Who else would I hang out with besides Laurence?" I leaned in and gave him another kiss before dragging him straight for the bridge. "So my little sexy bar is just across this bridge," I told him. "It's where my outpost was when I was just outside of the resistance. Can you imagine a human bossing vampires around? I had some balls."

"I bet that was awesome," he purred at me and gave me a playful look. "Bet it was sexy."

"You can only imagine," I whispered before swinging our hands as I walked us up to the gates of my outpost. They opened for me, welcoming me into the little town of supernatural rift raft. I glanced around before dragging him straight to the familiar bar. Charlvern. "I mixed my name with tavern," I explained. Yeah, that's the name I picked for the bar. It kinda has a nice ring to it. Last I heard, Ricky was doing well keeping the bar up to status. He's lucky I didn't come back to my bar and kill him after that little gun trick he pulled. He better not have one either when I walk in. He laughed as he looked towards the name.

"It's cute," he told me softly. "I like it.... I can't wait to go inside and check it out~" He kissed my cheek then looked towards the bar in excitement before he pulled me inside and looked around, taking it all in. He purred and then started for the bar with me. "This is amazing Charles! You did a really good job here. I can definitely see a lot of hard work was put into this. Oooh, I think I'll get at least a small bit of that wine while I'm here- just a small bit- not enough to get drunk." He smiled happily and sat us down in the barstools in front of Ricky. "That's okay right?" He asked, looking towards me to check to see if it was fine with me. "We are meeting your parents later.... They won't be able to smell just a small bit on me, right?"

"No, you can't have just a little." I gave a playful smile towards him. Of course I was just joking with him.

"Charles!" Ricky gave me a huge smile. "Welcome back. How long has it been? Forever! You know your parents were in here last week asking about you-"

"What?" I asked and frowned. "They're not allowed to wonder into my place of refuge from them!" I let out a small laugh. "We're on our way to see them after this tour," I explained. "You still don't have a gun under here, do you?" I asked. "I don't feel like going to hell so soon." Pierre frowned then and looked at Ricky.

"You used to carry a gun under the bar?" He asked and looked a little uneasy then, eyeing him nervously.

"Er," Ricky gave us a nervous look with it. "No. I don't have a gun anymore under the bar. As you can see it's not on top of it either."

"This idiot," I muttered. "Was the one that should be fired after what he done to me- but I let it slide. He left a gun out on a bar without the safety on and guess who paid for it?" I leaned across the bar and got two shot glasses out while telling the short story. I set the glasses down. "Vodka," I mumbled. "This is the guy who's the reason behind why Silas had to make me his fledgling." I got a third glass out for Ricky. "So let's toast to it. Because if it wasn't for his stupidity, I wouldn't have found you and made you into the good...." I raised an eyebrow at Pierre before smiling big, "vampire you are today." Ricky was quick to get a bottle down and pour us the shots. Pierre purred to me then and gave me a loving look before he looked at Ricky with a more relaxed expression and took the shot from him.

"I love you Charles~" He told me happily and leaned in, giving me a sweet kiss before he took the shot with me. When I finished off my shot, I gave him a loving look.

"I love you too," I purred.

"Charles, I didn't know you were gay! I mean I should have suspected by the clothes~" Ricky teased as he downed his shot. Pierre frowned at Ricky then.

"There's nothing wrong with how he dresses. He just likes to express himself. I think it's cute~" He smiled then and laughed a little. "So what was Charles like as a human anyways? I bet you know."

"Charles? You don't know do you? This guy had every supernatural that walked up to him by his balls! He's not even a hunter or carries those types of weapons on him! He just had to look at you and you'd feel like you had to do what he ordered you to do. Even as a human, I felt his power. Charles was and is one hell of a guy. I asked him one time how he does it, but he just said he thought it was because he knew a- several people willing to turn him- but he told them no. He told me he enjoyed being human and ordering them around, he found it hilarious." Ricky's face saddened a little as I leaned back in the barstool. "I've been so upset with myself to take that from him. If it wasn't for my stupidity, he'd still be a human that's amused with the supernatural around him." He looked me in the eyes then. "What happened when Silas took you away?"

"Same old- same old," I told him. "What happens to all the fledglings, they're dominated by their maker's orders and get use to their new way of life. Ricky, we both know that. As many vampires we came across when smuggling those rare beasts in here and back out." I leaned over and gave Pierre a kiss on his cheek. "Besides.... if I wasn't turned then it was bound to happen. Except this little hellion would have been very hard to deal with. His maker was a bad example. I'm very curious about how he would have turned out to be."

"You know, Charles never liked the rules those royal vampires made," Ricky muttered. "That's why he was looking to join the resistance. He thought supernatural- especially vampires- should be the beasts they truly are. They shouldn't have to ask their prey. Humans don't ask their livestock if they can eat them. They lock them up in fences or houses- raise them on steroids and then eat them. Why should vampires ask humans?"

"Some humans need to disappear," I mumbled. "But- if it wasn't for the laws then all the good humans would end up dead and this world will be filled with more filth. I only agreed with Silas to run a smoother operation here because I didn't want to spend my human years facing a stupid council of royals that don't have a fucking clue what's really going on. Now that my maker is on it- I might as well keep my mouth shut and let this play out. There's enough humans out there to where vampires shouldn't have to ask. There's starving humans in Africa. I bet those would be tasty. We could kidnap them and bring them here to sell and fatten up then eat them- but keep them alive and continue to eat them. We could snatch the homeless people in America off their streets they grew up in. We could feast on their sorrow from having nothing and then give them a reason to live. But oh no.... We're not allowed to drink from someone without asking. We have bottled blood. Vampires can't live on just bottled blood! The scientist who made it even said we needed a healthy course of actual human blood every once in a while. Humans are vampire's prey and that will never change!" I felt eyes from across the bar looking towards me.

"Okay," Ricky whispered. "Ease up." I leaned across the bar, looking into Ricky's eyes. I gave him an amused look. I was just talking about his species as if they were cattle. I could smell he wasn't even frightened.

"Do you know why~" I purred in amusement. "Vampires are too afraid to drain humans like cattle? Because of the vampire hunters out there. We already got rid of the Nero family. Those other little vampire families could easily be picked off now that we got the head of them." I leaned back then. "I should have been a fucking hunter. I bet that's a real game. At least I could kill my prey." Ricky let out a small laugh as he poured us another shot.

"You're rousing my customers," Ricky sung.

"I hope they're frightened," I sung with him. "Their predator is right here." I glanced over at the human customers, since we were drinking at the bar on the top level.

"Not to worry, they all know this is a bar for the night crawlers." Ricky took a swig straight from the bottle before setting it to the side. "I wouldn't worry too much, unless one of them is a hunter in disguise."

"Why? I haven't done anything bad. I'm just talking about my opinion."

"No more for you tonight after that shot," Ricky told me firmly. Pierre glanced towards the humans and then ran his fingers through his hair. He looked my way and then laid his head down on the bar top and purred softly.

"There's not much wrong with your opinion, but your maker wouldn't be pleased.... Maybe he would've been awhile back... but I don't think he would now. Is that why you let me bite you without asking?" He purred to me, giving me a sweet smile as he looked up at me from the bar top. "Without tattling on me?"

"Why would I tattle on my mate?" I asked softly.

"If you didn't like me biting you, you would tell someone that I bite you without asking. I'd be scolded by the entirety of the castle." He laughed at that thought then sat up, purring at me. "You used to not be okay with it, getting onto me when I would bite you- especially the night we met."

"Well if you bit others like that then you would have ended up in a council meeting. That's why I tried to remind you of manors." I smirked at the thought. "It's very..." I sighed. "Annoying of the laws but we do have to follow them because Silas wants me to."

"It might not be that way forever. He might return to his old ways," Pierre hummed out then leaned in towards my neck and gave it a kiss. "I like biting too much to not bite someone. The council will have to suck it up."

"I hope Silas does," I whispered. "We need to be ourselves and not what they think we should be. We're monsters that feed on the flesh of humans. We're not like them at all. We shouldn't be forced to blend in." I felt his lip curl up into a half smirk, and he gave me another soft kiss under my ear.

"Well we don't have to be with each other~ I don't mind you biting me whenever you feel like," he purred to me and then gave my cheek a kiss.

"You're my mate," I purred to him. "I would expect that from you." He laughed and pulled back slightly, looking me in the eyes.

"You're definitely my mate~" He purred happily and then looked towards Ricky. "Can I have another?" He asked him sweetly, giving him a kind smile as he nudged his glass towards Ricky.

"Nope," I told him quickly. "I don't want you drunk." Ricky laughed and poured him more anyways. Pierre smirked and then took the shot anyways, giving me a playful look as he did so.

"You don't want me drunk? Too bad~ I'll be such a sweet charming French mate that your family will love me, even if I do smell a bit tipsy," he told me and grinned.

"Besides, you're old enough to make your own decisions," Ricky added. Pierre looked at Ricky then and gave him a huge smile.

"I like you. Charles, sorry but your friend supports me." He laughed and then ran his fingers through his hair. "Can you get me a glass of wine next actually? Like... that one, right there," he told him, pointing to a bottle after looking them over. Ricky moved off to get the glass of wine for him. I looked towards my mate with a raised eyebrow. Wine? What is he... gay? I laughed softly and shook my head.

"Half a glass," I told Ricky.

"Full glass," Pierre purred in amusement, leaning forward slightly as he watched him getting his wine. Ricky poured half a glass before giving it to Pierre and then got me a glass, pouring some wine into it before handing it over.

"I'm not sure you should drink that," he teased us. "Don't go driving you two." Pierre sighed softly, accepting the half glass instead of complaining and took a sip. He purred in delight as he got a taste then crossed his legs and sipped on it. He looked towards me with a playful look and nudged my foot with his, teasing me.

"I can drive if Charles gets too drunk," he told Ricky and then laughed. I looked towards the glass before taking a swig from it. Pierre watched me and smiled before he leaned in and gave my neck another kiss and growled softly. He sat his glass down on the bar top and then gave my neck another kiss before he started to suck lightly on my skin, giving me a love bite. I pulled my head back to look down at his lips before giving him a kiss.

"I won't get that drunk," I told him before downing the whole glass of wine. He laughed softly and then pulled back and started to finish his off.

"Alright~" He told me and then sat his empty glass down. He glanced around then played with the empty glass, running his finger around the top of it.

"More?" Ricky asked us. I pursed my lips and shook my head no. Pierre glanced towards me and then frowned a little and nodded.

"Yeah, I guess it would be best not to have more," he whispered. "I have to make a good impression... and I'm sure your family wouldn't like to see you stumbling in drunk for the first time in forever."

"Yeah," I mumbled and stood up. "I think we need to head that way. I don't want us spending the day away from the castle."

"I thought we were going to spend the day there instead of coming back to the castle," he told me and frowned. "That's a lot of traveling. It'd be safer just to stay with your family, wouldn't it?" He turned in his seat to face me, looking up towards me.

"S-stay with my family?" I asked softly.

"Yeah, didn't we talk about it? You said something about staying at your old place if we ended up getting there late," he mumbled and grabbed my hand, rubbing it with his thumb.

"Okay, I guess we'll do that." I nodded as I felt a little dizzy as the wine kicked in. He frowned a bit as he seemed to notice and then pulled me a little closer.

"Do you just want to find some place to hunker down for the day instead of going there tonight?" He asked me worriedly. "I don't want you driving if you're tipsy.... I could drive if you don't want to find a place to stay."

"What?" I asked and laughed. "I'm fine, I can drive us to my parents.... but it is late now that I think about it...." I trailed off in thought. He nodded and then kissed my hand lightly.

"Do you want to stay somewhere safe then? I don't want to take a chance that we get burned... and I don't want you crashing... and if we don't go, we won't smell like alcohol when we do go tomorrow night," he murmured to me.

"Just stay at your old place, it's untouched," Ricky said casually. "Then tomorrow night you two can head over to your parents." Pierre nodded and then looked at me.

"Let's do that.... It does have a safe place in it, right? You must've been human when you were using it."

"Well," I mumbled. "I do have a place here but there are windows." Pierre tsked slightly and seemed to be debating it.

"I don't know.... Maybe we shouldn't stay in it.... We might get burned...." He pulled his hand back away from me then stood up and reached into my pocket, stealing my car keys. "I'll drive us.... I hope you don't mind speeding."

"Drive us where?" I asked and went for my keys. "You're not driving my sports car."

"You're going to tell me how to get to the troll tribe," he purred and then held the keys up out of my reach, stealing a kiss from my lips. "I don't want to get burned by staying in a place with windows and hardly no protection."

"Why don't I drive then?" I asked and whined.

"Why don't you two nap downstairs? I'll lock it up for you." Ricky pointed off to the back door. "I'll stay all day to make sure nobody bothers you." Pierre glanced towards it and then looked at me, tilting his head.

"Would you like that? We could do that...." He told me and smiled sweetly. "I trust Ricky enough to lock it up for us while we stay back there. It'd be much safer than any other idea probably."

"Okay," I whispered and looked at the door. "We'll stay downstairs."

"There's a side room down there where I decided to keep some comfy coffins," Ricky teased us. Pierre laughed a bit and then slipped my keys back into my pocket before he purred in my ear and started to walk to the back doors.

"I call first dibs~" He called out and snuck back in there quickly. I gave Ricky a smile before following my mate.

"Get on the elevator," I told him as I walked up to the buttons and pressed for it. "We're taking it down."

"Mkay," he hummed out and then walked up to me to wait for it and kissed my cheek. "Want your own coffin tonight?" He asked me softly. "Or would you rather try to find the biggest and share it? I don't mind whichever you want."

"Don't you want to share one with a fledgling?" I whined softly.

"I don't mind sharing one with you," he purred to me and kissed my neck softly. "Little fledgling," he teased.

"Good. I don't want to sleep alone!" I kissed his cheek before stepping onto the waiting elevator. He got in after me and smirked a bit, watching me as he moved off to the side to let me handle the buttons.

"I'm glad you like sleeping with me~"

"Of course I do! You're my mate." I leaned my head up against his shoulder as I had the elevator take us down. He purred to me and started to rub my shoulders, massaging them for me.

"You want some of my blood before we settle in?" He purred to me, massaging me. "I don't mind offering some to you if you want a taste."

"I want some when I wake up," I whispered sweetly. "Maybe now too." He nodded and then gave my neck another kiss.

"Okay, I'll feed you," he promised me and then led me out as the elevator stopped. I surpassed him after stepping off the elevator and pulled him away from the vampire bar that was slow in action tonight. There was maybe six vampires there. In its defense, it was about to be dawn. I pulled him into a private area for vampires that'll take a blood donor off into and picked a familiar room. Inside was the coffin room. Ricky told me if the vampires asked, he let them stay in the coffins here. At least that's what he texted me one night. I don't respond much to him. I let my mate go as I walked up to a coffin big enough for two.

"This might do," I told him and opened the empty coffin. "You want bottom?" I teased. He gave a playful growl and snuck up to me.

"Bottom?" He purred in my ear and then rubbed my hips. He nipped at my ear and then pushed me down into the coffin with a small laugh. I looked up at him before stretching out and moaned a little at the comfortable texture.

"Oh.... my.... fuck! This is better than my bed!" I laughed and grabbed the lid. "Go find your own coffin." He frowned at me then.

"Well then," he mumbled. "I didn't know you were the coffin type," he purred at me then leaned in and gave me a small kiss before he went to go find himself one. I frowned before grabbing his shirt and yanked him inside. He yelped as he fell down in on top of me then blushed and looked towards me. "Charles?" He asked softly and then bit his bottom lip. "You didn't just pull me in here for my blood like some kind of coffin monster, did you?" He teased lightly and laughed. I let out a playful growl before closing us in. I leaned into his neck and gave it a small kiss.

"Let's just kidnap this coffin," I mumbled.

"Okay," he purred at me and then gave my cheek a kiss. "We'll take it with us when we go. I think I know where to put it in our bedroom~ We could have a lot of fun with this. It's actually pretty big," he whispered, glancing around the space and smiled in satisfaction. "It is your bar after all...." He purred and looked back towards me and stole a kiss from my lips.

"We can't put this in my sports car... I'll have Ricky ship it to the castle." I smirked at the idea. I'll put a bunch of stuff in it when I'm not using it. I could fill it with tons of clothes. He purred and nodded.

"Sounds like a sweet plan," he told me and then leaned in towards my neck, starting to give it small kisses. I growled at him as I hid my neck.

"You're not gonna kiss it this time. I'm the one feeding from you." He laughed and pulled back a little to look down at me.

"Well where do you want to feed from me? Neck, wrist?" He asked me sweetly, giving me a loving look. He stole a small kiss from my lips and adjusted himself on top of me. I leaned in towards his neck before biting down into it. He moaned as my fangs pierced his flesh and tilted his head instinctively, letting me get at his neck and making my bite deeper. He gripped my shirt a little and tugged slightly on it. I moaned as the first drop of his blood hit my tongue. A mate's blood always tastes good. I wrapped my arms around his body to hold him close to me. He started to purr in my ear and I could feel him kissing my cheek as I drank from him. His hands trailed down to my sides and he lightly began to trail his fingers against my hips. I took my fangs out of his neck and started to suck on his wound.

He moaned in my ear and then kissed my cheek again. He squeezed by butt then and kissed by my ear. I growled playfully to him before scrapping my fangs against his flesh. I felt a shiver go down his spine and he moaned softly to me, stretching his neck out a bit more as my fangs scrapped against him. I pulled back from his neck in decision to drink his blood when I woke up. He let out a small whine when I pulled back and looked at me with a frown. "What? You don't want anymore from me?" He asked me softly, pulling his hand away from my butt.

"I think I should save it for when I wake up," I told him with an innocent tone. He tsked slightly.

"When you wake up? Well that's a bit of a tease," he told me and then curled up on me. He let out a sigh and then nuzzled his head against my chest. "Oh well... I guess that's alright.... You'd be able to get more from me... and you'd look healthy when we see your family... being recently well fed...."

"Since we're at my bar, we'll grab you a bottle of blood before we head over to meet them." I ran my fingers through his hair. "Ever done it in a coffin?" I asked softly.

"No," he told me and laughed a bit, looking up towards me. "I didn't crawl into coffins as a human, and I didn't have a lover as a vampire before you."

"You want to now?" I leaned in and kissed his cheek. He purred and glanced at my lips then at me before he gave me a kiss.

"Do you want to break the coffin in before it even gets to our bedroom?" He teased me and then gave my neck a kiss.

"Are you too scared that you'll get a splinter?" I smirked as I got him with that. He blushed and looked at me.

"N-no," he whispered. "I'm not scared of a splinter," he mumbled. He looked towards my lips and then leaned in, giving me a loving kiss before he trailed his hands back to my hips. He purred as he gave me another, more passionate kiss. I leaned into the kiss, having my tongue explore his mouth. He rubbed my hips a little and then caught my tongue, sucking on it. I moaned softly and melted against the smooth leather under my head. He purred and leaned in towards me before he pulled back from the kiss and quickly started to trail kisses to my neck and gave me love bites at the collar of my shirt. I smiled and grabbed the edge of his shirt before yanking it up to his chest.

He laughed and looked at me before he took his shirt off and laid it by my head. He gave me a playful look before he slipped my shirt up my body and leaned in towards my chest, giving it a kiss and then another love bite. I gasped and started on his pants, unbuttoning them before slipping them down to his ankles. He purred and looked down towards his pants before he used his feet to get them off all the way. "I'm going to have to take your pants for that," he teased me and gave me a playful look before he reached for my pants and started to undo them, pushing them down my legs with a small growl. He looked my body over as he got them off quickly and then leaned down towards my thigh and gave it a kiss as he looked up into my eyes.

He purred to me and then exposed his fangs a bit before he looked at my inner thigh, moving to where his lips were against it. He started to give me a love bite and closed his eyes, sucking a little harder than he had on my neck. I gasped and let out a small laugh before moving up a little in the coffin. He looked towards me and purred at me then bit into my leg, his venom quickly entering my system as he watched me. I moaned and melted against the coffin's leather. I gripped my hair tightly and tugged on it. He licked my thigh and then looked up towards me with a seductive look, starting to crawl up between my legs.

He playfully growled at me and then started a trail of kisses from my stomach back up to my neck. I purred and took my shirt off as he went. He gave me a sweet look as he got up to my lips and then leaned in slowly, teasing me a bit. I leaned up for him, stealing the kiss. He laughed against my lips and then kissed me back. He ran his hands down to my butt and gave me a squeeze before he slipped his tongue into my mouth. I could feel him getting aroused as he deepened the kiss. I purred, feeling a little excited. I reached down and shoved his boxers downwards to reveal his manhood.

He didn't seem to notice as he kissed me again and then bit my bottom lip playfully. I purred at him before sliding my boxers down for him. He looked down at my manhood before a purr rose through him and he looked into my eyes and gave my lips another kiss. "You want me, mi amour?" He asked me teasingly, running his hands along my sides. I nodded, already aroused myself by his touch. He purred softly and then leaned in towards my neck, giving me a kiss there. "As you wish," he whispered to me and then gave me another kiss, starting an enchanted morning full of fun in our enclosed box.
