“Rise and address the crowd, my son.”

I rose to my feet and raised my hand, showing off the ring to the applause of the crowd. This time, everyone clapped. I turned back to Ara, grinning like a child. “I will never fail you, Father.”

Ara smiled and nodded, then patted me on my back. “I know. You’ve earned it. Now come, let us celebrate.”

“How does it feel?” Karim asked me.

I was lounging on a divan, staring at my ring. I looked up at him. “Powerful.”

He nodded. “That sounds about right.” He sat down on the divan next to me. “I have no doubt you will be able to fulfill your duties. You are a vicious son of a bitch.”

I laughed. “Only to those who cross me and Father.”

“I’m proud of you, little brother,” Karim said.

“Thank you.”

“This party is starting to die down. I’ve drank my fill of these humans,” Karim stated as he gestured towards the humans in the far corner of the room chained together. Some were dead, having been fed on to the last drop. Others would live to see another day. The sun would be rising soon, so I knew my celebration was coming to an end. I was looking forward to being alone with Ara anyway. I had heard enough “congratulations” for one night.

Karim patted my leg, then rose to make his leave. Titus had left a while ago to tend to his youngest that still needed training. Nolan left before the party began and I wasn’t surprised. He could barely contain his rage while I took the oath and received the ring. I didn’t care that he was gone. Good riddance.

Within the hour, everyone had left and I made my way to the bedroom to prepare for bed. Again, I looked at my Lordship ring. It was the same as the one Nolan had, but I must admit, it looked better on my finger than his knobby-knuckled one.

“Did you enjoy your night?” Ara asked me, and I turned to face him.

“I did, thank you, Father.”

He smiled. “I have more gifts for you, my child.”

More? What more could he possibly give me? “You’ve given me enough, Father.”

“I’ll decide if that is true,” Ara said with a chuckle.

“What more will you give me, Father?” I was excited.

“Your own home.”

I knew it might be coming. After all, Nolan had to leave once Ara had given him his Lordship. But I’d been with Ara for two hundred years, leaving him would not be easy, nor was it desired.

“This is not a punishment, my son,” Ara said, caressing my face.

I nodded. “I know, Father. I must make my own way now.”

“You must and you will. You are in control of district four now. You will have a hundred vampires to govern. It is time for you toembracea human, make them your enforcer to carry out your rule under my decree,” Ara said.

“I will, Father. I just have to find a child worthy of my blood and your lineage,” I stated.

Ara nodded with a smile. “I understand.” He let his fingers graze my jawline as he lowered his hand. He looked over toward the bed. “My other gift to you, my son…” He let his words fade as he began to remove his clothing. Once naked, he walked over toward the bed, climbing on it.

I stripped out of my clothes and joined him. Seeing Ara naked always piqued my arousal to the highest level. He reached over and grabbed the jar of oil from the nightstand. He sat up on his knees and poured the contents of the jar into the palm of his hands.

I knew where this was going and I was always eager to fuck my Father. I laid on my back and lifted my legs to my chest, exposing my hole to him so he could pour the oil on me.

Ara looked at me and chuckled. “Not tonight, my child. Put your legs down.”

I did and he reached over, grabbing my hard cock, and I moaned in pleasure at his touch. He stroked my flesh, slicking it with the oil until the skin was glistening. Then he began to climb on top of me and my breath caught in my throat. Was this really happening?! Was he really going to straddle me and ride my cock as I had dreamed about so many times?
