When Lucien McNamara’s father remarries, he meets his new stepbrother Blaise Laurent. Blaise, the black sheep of his family, is promiscuous, conceited, and callous - but also magnetic, charismatic, and seductive. Lucien is immediately entranced by him. Blaise, after having a falling out with his uncle Raphael (an object of brooding and obsession for Blaise, and the only person who seems to actually get under his skin), must return to his family’s home to live. However, none of his family seems to want him there - especially his mother. Lucien takes pity and attempts to befriend and fix Blaise, but Blaise keeps trying to seduce Lucien. Lucien resists, knowing Blaise doesn’t love him, but continues to try to help him, and he finds himself more and more entangled with this enigmatic but frustrating being. Then Lucien makes a shocking discovery - Blaise is a vampire! Not only that, but he was turned by his own Uncle Raphael, an evil man with whom he has a very twisted relationship. Uncle Raphael wants Blaise to join the Vampire Nobility, but Blaise actually regrets being turned into a vampire. Lucien begins to see the cracks in Blaise’s callous exterior as slowly he begins to let Lucien into his heart. Can Lucien help Blaise find his way out of this dark world, or will he be dragged down with him?

My Stepbrother, the Vampire (BL)

Lucien opened the door all the way for Blaise, who slipped in without a word.


He noticed Blaise hadn't changed out of his night clothes yet, which were really not proper pajamas, but just a long robe with a pretty geometric pattern thrown over his thin undergarments. He must have overslept.


Blaise stepped in, his bare feet making almost no sound on the rug. He paced back and forth for a few minutes, fiddling with his hands. Finally, he asked, "Are you mad at me?"


Lucien crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "What does it matter how I feel?"


"You are mad. Lucien, I think you misunderstood me. When I asked if it mattered to you... or when I asked why you slept with me if you didn't do one-night stands... I meant something different."


Lucien looked at Blaise. He looked small and nervous now, his eyes full of trepidation. It was not usual to see him like this. "Well, what did you mean, then?" he asked, more gently.
