Page 2 of The Master’s Holiday (Pittsburgh Vampires #27)

T he drive was a little over an hour long and the Lodge was everything Walker had imagined it would be. Elegant yet woodsy, open and spacious, yet possessing every convenience. They had a room, or rather a suite that was exactly what you’d expect a luxurious bedroom in the forest to look like. He took a deep breath breathing in the fragrances and the fresh air.

"I love it, Nik." Walker quickly made himself at home.

"I'm glad it meets your expectations, my love." He turned and took the luggage from Dumas. He told him to check in every morning and evening but otherwise he was instructed to leave them alone.

“Yes, sir, and enjoy your stay, sir." He said as he turned to the door.

"We will, and thank you." Nik closed and locked the door and then went in search of his sexy little beloved.

Dumas decided to check out the place after finding his room and settling in. He wanted to be familiar with the area and the human occupants. Dumas was well aware of the duplicity and dishonesty of which humans were capable. He also understood that they tended to violence when life did not go their way or if they felt slighted or if they happened to get up on the wrong side of the bed. In a word, they could be volatile.

He checked the SUV where it was tucked away in a large garage that looked like a barn. It was safe and in good hands the attendants were present and observant. The outdoor amenities were well cared for, and servers were also present and observant.

Once inside the Lodge Dumas noticed the same attention, a focused attention from all except the tall bartender in the main bar of the Terrace Room which was attached to the Terrace Restaurant. There was also a doorman that seemed more interested in his phone than his job.

The two men gave him pause, but there was no reason to suspect them of anything. He roughed out a diagram of the Lodge with exits clearly marked and the design flow indicated, along with the location of every camera. It was always good to know the flow of the structure you were residing in and to be aware of all the exits. He then texted that diagram to the Master.

He entered the main lobby and was greeted by the concierge, Mr. Regan Marshal. "Hello, you're Mr. Hadden's driver." He identified him, and Dumas nodded. "Is there anything I can do for you? Is there anything you need?” He was a small man with an eager and excited personality, but he seemed sincere.

“No, there is nothing that I need.” Dumas was honest and turned away, dismissing the man.

“Certainly, please enjoy your stay with us." He gave the standard line and the standard forced smile.

“I will, thank you.” It was a nice place, well-staffed, and located in a beautiful, secluded forest. Dumas planned to have an easy weekend guarding the Master and his beloved.

“What do you want to do first?” Walker thoroughly checked out the suite finding all the special treats of chocolates and champagne and a variety of snack items. “They really know how to stage a room.” He said as he ate a bag of chips and sipped on sparkling water.

“Only the best for you baby.” Nik walked over to him and took him into his arms and started a flurry of kisses that disarmed and thrilled leaving his lover breathless and wanting. He took the chips and the water and set them aside while gathering his beloved closer. “You’re all mine baby.” He teased.

"All yours, Nik. . . all yours.” Clothes were discarded, and soon they lay together naked, wrapped in each other's arms on the soft, thick comforter. The bed was roomy and solid, with large soft pillows. It harkened to the thick, dark wooded peace of the forest beyond their doors and brought a sense of freedom and release.

“Your body excites me. Every time I look at you, it's as exhilarating as the very first time I looked at this marvelous body of yours and made you my own.” Nik never thought he’d find anyone who could make him bend and beg for their love, but he was proved wrong the night he saw that gorgeous young man leaning against the wall playing on his phone.

It was a special night at the Imperial and there were important people and influential dealings going on but all he could see was the blonde man in the second hand suit looking bored and out of place. That night was the beginning of their lives together and it has been better than he ever thought possible.

Everyone dreams about their beloved, but no one really knows the depth of devotion and the love that comes with a Fated true match. He will be forever grateful for the young man he has the privilege to have and to hold. Walker was so unexpected and so unlikely, yet he is perfection down to the smallest consideration.

Nik rolled on top of Walker and again rained kisses down his throat and across his shoulder. "I love you, Walker, so much more than you could ever imagine." He whispered the endearing words against the smooth, warm flesh of Walker’s chest. He was rewarded with a soft moan of appreciation.

He spread Walker’s legs apart and moved between to press his hard shaft against Walker’s throbbing flesh. His heart pounded in his chest, and the need he felt bubbling up and overtaking him was wonderful and amazing. Nik took particular care, as he always did when preparing his lover. The sensual kisses continued while he covered Walker’s alluring entrance with enough lubricant to make everything easy and slick.

Walker moved with him, enhancing every sensation and tempting Nik to go further. “I'm ready, Nik." He urged, but Nik was not convinced, so he plunged his fingers inside, stretching and massaging the tight muscles until he was sure there would be no pain. He would always make sure that his lover would know only pleasure and satisfaction.

Walker wrapped his legs around Nik’s waist and held on tight. Nik slid his fingers from that glorious hole and pressed his own hard cock to the trembling flesh. "You ready for me, baby?" He tempted him with several shallow thrusts. Walker responded by grinding his hips against Nik's highly sensitized flesh, exciting and invigorating.

Nik drove his throbbing cock deep inside his lover with one hard, swift thrust. Walker jerked and moaned, gripping Nik's shoulders and tightening his hands into fists. “More, more.” He chanted.

Nik pulled out and plunged inside again, going deep and swirling his hips to give his little lover the best experience. He hit every pleasure point, knowing everything that Walker enjoyed. His timing and pressure were set to Walker’s ultimate pleasure.

Walker was writhing beneath him, lost in the feelings and emotions racing through him. Nik took him hard, thrusting deep and intensifying the sensations. He lifted him up in order to plunge even deeper with maximum effect. He had Walker’s legs slung over each arm and pounded away until the climax swamped him in a sudden wave of ecstasy.

Nik sunk his teeth into Walker’s neck and drank of the sweetest nectar in all the world. It soothed, invigorated and nourished and it was all Walker his forever love and the absolute center of his life. He felt the telltale warmth spread between then a sure sign that Walker had thoroughly enjoyed himself.

He pulled his teeth free and licked the wound closed before gently pulling out and lowering Walker’s legs back to the bed. “That was so good.” Walker declared on a ragged breath and turned his head to stare lovingly at Nik. It was a look he'd seen hundreds of times and every time, he melted. It struck him so deeply knowing that someone like Walker could love him perfectly and unconditionally.

Nik pulled him into a snug embrace. "That's just the beginning, sweetheart."

The Master and his beloved Walker were having dinner in their suite tonight so Dumas decided to go to the main restaurant to check out the clientele. Like the Master, many guests have dinner delivered but others enjoyed showing off to the crowd and to their companions. It was an upscale establishment the Glendale Lodge had been in operation for over fifty years and had served most of the influential in northern Pennsylvania over the years.

They were known for their service, special and varied amenities and privacy. When he walked in it was clear that the place still drew many from the cream of society. As an associate of Nikolas Hadden, he was quickly seated but as his driver he was placed at a smaller table near the kitchen. It was the social pecking order which was adhered to religiously in the human sector.

“A waiter will be with you shortly sir.” The hostess told him and quickly headed back to guide a couple to their table near the windows. Dumas didn’t mind the table being in the back gave him a clear view of the entire room. Dinner was good, not great but very good and the service was impeccable.

He ordered another glass of wine when he saw two men come in and be seated. They were human and dressed in expensive suits, but their look was slightly off. They did not present the manners one would expect of suits like those in a restaurant like this.

It wasn’t anything clumsy or overt, just a tell that said these men were more the working man than the business elite. Perhaps it was a case of new money and nothing to concern himself about, but the way they kept their heads down and spoke softly yet urgently kept drawing Dumas’ attention.

He finished his meal and left the restaurant but waited outside and when the two men left he followed them. They continued to talk in urgent whispers, and he heard some of it but couldn’t tell if it was business or personal. Something was happening and they were integral to the process, but they weren’t satisfied with who was running the operation whatever it was.

They were sharing a room it appeared, but Dumas could sense three humans in the room. It was odd but didn’t point to anything that should cause him interest. Both men were armed but then so were he and Master Hadden. Was he paranoid because he was used to there being trouble around every corner. The Lodge was quiet and low keyed and perhaps too good to be real.

Dumas went outside and walked the perimeter of the Lodge before returning to his room for the night. He would probably do another walk later just for his own peace of mind. There was something about the place that made him question and observe but he couldn’t decide, as yet, what it was.

He checked in with the Master at eleven and then began background checks on the staff members of whom he’d covertly taken pictures. He also checked out the two guys from the restaurant.

“Dinner was excellent," Walker stated and slipped off the silken robe he had been wearing for most of the evening. He held it at his wrists so that it was slung just below his amazing pert, round ass. Nik loved his ass, and Walker liked to show it off as often as possible. They’d worked their way through all the flat surfaces in the bedroom and had made erotic use of the wonderfully large shower, and now Walker was checking out the living room.

Nik’s cell rang and he answered. “Hello.” He listened and Walker could see by the look on his face that something was concerning him so when he closed the call, he asked.

“Is everything okay?” He slipped his robe back on and tied it, walking over to stand next to Nik.

"Nothing we need to worry about." He said, and Walker asked again.

“What is it?”

“Dumas is under the impression that there may be a heist of some sort that is being planned. He isn’t sure of the intended target or targets."

"Should we say something to warn someone?" Walker wasn't sure what to do.

“This is a human matter. We can't involve ourselves without ending up as a part of it. We cannot expose ourselves to the authorities. This area of Pennsylvania is human. We have no connections here and things could get out of hand very quickly. Besides what would we tell them? We don’t know what’s going on, we only have our suspicions." Walker understood but still it burned him that crooks could be getting away with robbing people.

"You have a very kind heart, Walker, but humans have gotten along without our interference for an eternity. This is a very secure establishment, and I'm sure they have people handling this issue even as we speak." Nik made his feelings clear.

“I should have done more research and chosen a place more suited to the paranormal." Walker suddenly felt guilty for bringing them to a place so outside their influence.

“Hey, none of that now . . ." Nik soothed and pulled Walker into his arms. "This Lodge is impressive as far as country dwellings are concerned. We haven't had a chance to explore or experience anything other than this room so far, but I’m telling you that I am very happy.”

“Dumas will keep an eye on things and alert us if anything changes.”

“Okay.” Walker smiled and grabbed a chocolate from the gift basket on the counter and popped it into his mouth. “They sure know how to pamper and I love being pampered.”

Nik dropped his robe and gathered Walker closer. "You want to be pampered, baby?" Walker nodded his head. "Then lose that robe and show me that gorgeous ass of yours.” Walker slipped free and slowly sauntered across the room while looking provocatively over his shoulder at Nik.

He then dropped his robe and bent over the back of the sofa in a suggestive manner. He massaged one cheek provocatively and moaned. Walker’s ass was on full display, and Nik was not going to deny himself the pleasure. He was behind him in an instant and running his hands over that smooth muscled back and that firm round ass.

“You never fail to excite and disarm me with your every move and every look. I love you to distraction my sweet, sweet love.” Nik massaged and thrust his hips against his beloved seductively teasing him with each move. “Everything about you entices me baby.”

Walker held onto the back of the sofa and moved his hips in time with Nik’s movements. The building of the heat was irresistible, and Walker could feel it to his bones. Nik was an amazing lover, always leaving him panting and trembling and begging for more.

His sex life had been fine, nothing spectacular, but okay, until he met Nikolas Hadden, and then it became explosive, thrilling, and mind-bending. He brought Walker to the edge of the universe on more than one occasion. Amazing was the word he always used, but even that didn't come close to describing the level of extravagant pleasure that Nik brought him.

He loved this man for everything and nothing and for always thinking of him in every situation. He was never taken for granted, and he was never overlooked; he was the Master's Beloved.

Nik spread him, touching, teasing, stimulating, and baring him completely before filling him fully. He pushed inside, stretching and forcing himself further and deeper while Walker bent over while pushing back as Nik thrust forward. Nik held him by the hips, keeping him steady when Nik began to hammer inside his tight, velvety, soft channel.

This weekend was exactly what he needed. Walker had been feeling a little on edge and a bit pent up after the curse, and then the issues with the mutants and the dragons were a lot to process. Having Nik all to himself with no interruptions was soothing and satisfying his every need. Nik held his hips and picked him up off the floor and then abruptly slammed inside and exploded. The sensations were sharp and multitude.

Walker squeezed his eyes shut and held on as he was swamped with the most intense vibrations that set every nerve ending on fire. His skin prickled, and his heart stopped, and then he, too, exploded in a release that was both powerful and satiating. “You make my body sing." Walker panted out the words, and Nik continued to pound against his tender flesh, working every nerve.

Nik gradually pulled out and picked his exhausted beloved up into his arms and carried him to the bedroom. “I think you need some rest my love and I need to hold you in my arms.” Nik told him and deposited him onto the bed fixing the pillows and pulling the comforter up to cover him. He then slid into bed beside him pulling him close and Walker rested his head on Nik’s shoulder. Life was beautiful and perfect.

"Sleep, sweetheart. Our weekend has only just begun." He kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"I love you, Nik, forever and always." Walker closed his eyes and settled in.

"Forever and always, baby, you and me."
