Kelwyn Grayson is just one more faceless runaway on the streets of Tower City. Among elves, gnolls, and dragons, one winged boy fades into the background of life in the Eternal Kingdom.  But when he cuts the purse of the handsome were-lion Harun Rashid, he finds himself dragged out of the crowd.<br><br>Rather than a cell, however, Harun offers a helping hand to set Kelwyn on the road to a respectable, peaceful life ... if he could just bring himself to stop flirting shamelessly with Harun, keep his sticky fingers to himself, and avoid bringing the wrath of a powerful, mad vampire down on his head.<br><br>But even faced with Kelwyn's death -- or undeath -- Harun will not give up on him, and Kelwyn will not give up on finding his way to sharing that peaceful life with Harun.  Two men, love, and magic are bound and determined to find their way to their shared dream of a future -- and family.

Blood and Fire

“What have you done?” hissed Harun, suddenly not wanting to look at that splash of blood.


“Hmm? Oh, this?” Maltheus gestured at the blood on his shirt. “Stabbed your lover through the heart, of course. He was alive when I left, but I suppose by now he might be dead. Or not. Vampires are hardy things.”


Harun might have staggered, if he’d still had just two feet. Oh goddess.


“He’ll live or he won’t. I’m much more interested in you, just now. Have you ever fucked your Kelwyn in this shape? Does he like that?”


“What kind of question is that?” The appalled response burst from Harun before he could even think about it.


“Are you ashamed of it, then? Is it a taboo, to fuck in animal form?”


“What? I’m not ashamed of anything, there’s nothing to be ashamed of!” snapped Harun. He knew he should probably try to ignore Maltheus, he was no doubt giving the monster exactly what he wanted, but he couldn’t help himself.


“Does that mean you haven’tfucked like this?”
