Lonely Vampire

“I should…” Tino said when they parted.


“Come with me?” Armand replied with a smile, taking his hand. “I know you want to be out there, but it’s late. All the street kids will have bedded down for the night so—”


“So, you’re going to bed me?” Tino said with a small smile.


“That’s the plan. If you’re still willing.”


Taking a deep breath, Tino replied, “You have no idea how willing. But—turn off your damned phone.”


With a laugh, Armand did, as they walked upstairs. When they were in his bedroom, he drew Tino into an embrace again, kissing him slowly—at first. It rapidly became heated when Tino opened to him. The taste and feel of Tino’s mouth under Armand’s questing tongue inflamed him. Armand was sorely tempted to tear their clothes off and take Tino as quickly as he could. Restraining his primal impulse, Armand ended the kiss then stepped back. “Undress for me—slowly.”
