Lonely Vampire

“Yes, you are. But that’s okay. I love your enthusiasm.” Armand wrapped his arm around Tino’s waist. “It’s infectious and makes me feel young as well.”


“You are young, here.” Tino touched Armand’s temple and then over his heart. “You just have to let go and enjoy life.”


“I have been, since we met. You’ve touched a part of my soul I thought I’d lost long ago.” Armand smiled. “And I’m getting maudlin.”


“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Tino replied softly before kissing Armand. As always, he loved the feel of their lips meshing—too much. He pulled away, saying huskily, “I should go home before…”


“You are home, silly man,” Armand responded, arching one eyebrow. “However, now that you mention it, I should probably leave before we do something we might regret in the morning.”
