“One of Alastair’s hands grips onto the waist of Oliver’s torn jeans and the other rakes into that beautiful, curly mess of brown hair. 

Alastair finds himself pushing, starving for a kind of affection he has long lacked in his life. The curve of Oliver’s back increases as he leans into him. Alastair spreads his hand wide against the curve of Oliver’s spine and parts his lips in a further attempt to devour the other."

The Vampiric Lenoir siblings enjoy a life of fame and wealth thanks to their parents' successes in selling ethical vampiric products in this modern world. Alastair, the middle child, has resigned himself to a life of service. Namely, keeping his siblings out of trouble and the good name of their parents out of the tabloids. That is until he meets a particularly handsome necromancer who claims to have invented plant-based vegan blood all on his own.

Blood, Coffee, and Cream

Alastair hears Lea wake and bustle about at sunrise and realizes, although it is the weekend, Sunday brunch was still a busy time for any cafe. 


She does not come to wake Oliver, and Alastair finds himself viciously opposed to the idea of losing him from the bed, so he selfishly makes no effort to wake Oliver himself. Lea knows what she’s doing, anyhow, and he is certain she wouldn’t hesitate to break down the door if she felt Oliver needed to get up and help.


Alastair feels far more comforted by the rising sun then a vampire ever should be. As he watches the light slowly rise and bathe the room in it’s warm glow, Alastair realizes it’s because his vampiric family is less likely to do anything shady during the daylight hours.
