“Oh, sweetheart,” Alexei crooned. “That part was just for me.”

Alexei grabbed the lube next to him on the bed, drizzling some on Jay’s hole before slicking his own finger up.

He went slowly, so slowly. Because Jay, as eager as he may have been in his mind, was…

tight. So very tight. And really, two-plus centuries of virginity would do that to a guy.

Alexei almost laughed at the thought, but he glanced up to see Jay’s gray eyes were staring down at him with such solemnity that he didn’t dare.

“Does that feel good, sweetheart?” he asked instead.

Jay nodded, eyes wide. “So good.”

Alexei explored cautiously, stroking with the one finger, crooking it until he heard the surprised, delighted gasp that meant he’d found Jay’s prostate. He soon had Jay whimpering again, but he was hesitant to add the second finger.

Right up until Jay started pleading with him. “More, Alexei. More. Please. I’m not delicate. I can take it. I’m strong, I promise.”

Alexei knew Jay was strong, stronger than he thought he was.

Alexei hadn’t missed the part, back in that living room, where Jay had offered to fight for him.

To die for him. No one in Alexei’s life—not a one, not ever—had offered to fight for Alexei.

Even his mother, his only consistent source of kindness in his childhood, had chosen to leave instead.

But Alexei didn’t want thoughts of his family invading this moment. “Is that you asking for another finger, kotyonok?”

“Yes,” Jay groaned, impatience lacing through his voice. “ Yes. ”

Well, then. Alexei did as he was told, adding another finger. When he was up to three, Jay tensed. “Oh no.”

Alexei paused his movements. Had he hurt him? “What’s wrong? Too much?”

Jay whimpered, wiggling against Alexei’s invasion. “No. It’s just…I’m gonna—um, like this.”

Alexei couldn’t help grinning when he realized the problem. “Ohh, I see. Are you going to come, sweetheart?” He twisted his fingers inside Jay, causing the vampire to let out a helpless moan. “Go ahead, kitten. We can get you going again, I promise.”

Jay positively keened as Alexei pumped his fingers with renewed vigor. Alexei surged over him, sucking the head of Jay’s cock into his mouth just in time for Jay’s release, swallowing every drop of his cum.

“Oh my goodness. Oh my God. Oh !”

Alexei released Jay’s cock, rising to meet his vampire in a kiss, losing himself to the heady way Jay met his lips so fucking eagerly, never mind the fact that he’d just come in Alexei’s mouth.

Alexei wasn’t sure how long it had been when Jay broke the kiss, pushing at Alexei’s shoulders. “I’m ready for more now.”

“Are you?” Alexei propped himself over Jay on one elbow, working his fingers back into him, just to be sure.

“Alexei!” Jay whined. “Sex. Penis sex. I’m ready .”

This time, Alexei really did laugh; he couldn’t help it. “My little alien,” he crooned, pressing another kiss to Jay’s lips, so completely overwhelmed with fondness for this strange creature.

“I’m not an alien,” Jay protested, his lips pursing into a pout. “I’m a vampire. Now how do you want me?”

“Just as you are,” Alexei said. The words had a much deeper meaning than just physical positioning, but they were true enough for that too.

He wanted to see Jay’s face when he entered him for the first time.

Alexei lubed himself up—possibly excessively so, but he didn’t want Jay to regret a single second of this—before working more lube into Jay with his fingers.

“ Alexei .”

Alexei laughed at the frustration in Jay’s voice, lining his cock up to the vampire’s slick hole. “Hush, kitten. Like I said. I’ve got you.”

He pushed in slowly, his breath catching at the incredible tightness.

His eyes wanted to close, but he kept them open, watching Jay’s gorgeous face for every change of expression.

There was surprise. A twinge of what looked to be discomfort.

But then… Jay’s tongue darted out to wet his lips, and a slow smile built on his face.

“Ohhh, Alexei. I like it. I like it so much. More.” He pressed his heels into Alexei’s ass, pushing him to move deeper.

And when Alexei bottomed out, Jay’s fangs descended, his eyes darkening to that deep black. He was gorgeous, perfect, everything Alexei had ever wanted. Alexei told him so.

And then, because he couldn’t help it, Alexei begged once more. “Say you’ll stay with me. Say you won’t leave me alone.” He knew it wasn’t fair to ask for promises midcoitus, but he was desperate. Unbelievably desperate.

Jay smiled wide as Alexei’s hips began to move almost against his will, those fangs gleaming even in the dim bedroom lighting. “We’ll stay. We won’t leave.”

Alexei froze, the movement of his hips pausing. “Are you… Is this Jay’s beastie?”

A pause, and then Jay’s fangs receded, his eyes swirling back to gray, the pupils still wider than Alexei had ever seen them before. Jay didn’t address the strange slip, instead arching his back, pushing himself up into Alexei’s cock. “More, please. I’m ready.”

So Alexei gave him what he asked for, kissing Jay as he worked into his vampire with deep, fluid thrusts, searching and finding the right angle to have Jay once again whimpering mindlessly, his hips trying to find a rhythm with Alexei’s.

His movements were awkward and unpracticed, but fuck, did they drive Alexei wild. Alexei made sure to tell him so, knowing how much his vampire liked to know when he was doing a good job. “So fucking perfect for me. Taking my cock so well, kitten. You were made for this, baby.”

With Jay’s apparent hair trigger, it didn’t take long until he was warning Alexei once again of his imminent release.

Which, thank fucking God, because Alexei was holding on by a thread, wanting nothing more than to empty himself into Jay, to fill him with nothing but Alexei.

The second Jay’s back arched, his muscles trembling with the force of his orgasm, Alexei hitched Jay’s legs higher up onto his hips, pushing into Jay once, twice more, before burying his face into Jay’s hair, electricity shooting up and down his spine, his own orgasm leaving him unable to think, unable to move, barely able to even breathe.

Fucking hell.

When Alexei’s brain and muscles came back online, he made moves to pull out, but Jay wrapped his legs tighter around Alexei’s hips. “Not yet, please. Stay a little longer.”

Alexei stayed where he was.
