Caleb ran down the alley trying to make it back home. Lucien was in town and the master vampire wasn't very happy with him. Dodging a street merchant, he found the fire escape for his apartment and quickly climbed the three flights to his window.
It wasn't always like this. Caleb had been the mate for a master vampire. The master of London if you want to be more technical, however he had always felt out of place in London. Lucien had tried to make him feel comfortable, but it never worked too well. He was the average 20 year old with piercings on both ears and dark brown and orange hair and the blue eyes. He knew that Lucien liked him; he liked him enough to mark him as his mate. But the vampire scared Caleb, offered him things he didn't believe he deserved. 15 years of drama and foster homes hadn't made self-confidence a priority.
Caleb slid through the window and quietly locked the latch. He jerked off his denim jacket and went to the small kitchen and grabbed a glass from the counter for vodka. After chugging the shot, he walked back into the living room and promptly let out a startled yelp.
Sitting in the small chair by the fireplace was Lucien. His dark blue/black hair was down, his golden eyes held a touch of amusement. Caleb's eyes traveled across the master vampire. Lucien licked his lips in response as he got up to move closer to the young mortal.
Long fingers traced over Caleb's biceps. He shuddered at the contact; he missed the vampire's touch and craved it. Leaning into Lucien, Caleb knew better then to run. Lucien and he had a bond; the vampire would have found him at the very ends of the earth. Caleb sighed as he melted into Lucien's embrace. Lucien chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around the younger man.
"Why did you run?' the question held curiosity, but a touch of something else.
Caleb turned around to look at the vampire before speaking "I couldn't just be a thing for you"
Lucien snarled loudly before pushing Caleb onto the couch.
"It's the same answer from all of you, I'm too old and you're too young" Lucien slammed his chest against Caleb's and drew his arms above the younger man's head. "When do I get what I want?" The last thing Caleb saw was Lucien's lips as they were crushed to his.
Caleb fought against Lucien's hold before he gave in and allowed his emotion to fuel the kiss with the Vampire. He knew that Lucien loved him, he'd heard the words the man had spoke when he was wrapped up in his arms at sunrise. But it was greedy and selfish to want to pursue this happiness with the other man. Several other men had fallen in love with Lucien and in the end they came to resent the vampire for his immortality or either faded away with time. Caleb didn't want to put Lucien through that type of pain again. It was just too selfish to ask for the gift, Lucien had never offered so Caleb never felt justified in asking.
Lucien broke the kiss which left both men panting. Caleb rose up and looked into the golden eyes. Bringing his forehead to Lucien's, he sighed and got up slowly and walked towards the bedroom. "
One way or another, I'll end up leaving
" The thought slipped out unguarded as Caleb disappeared. Lucien froze in his steps as understanding dawned on him. The vampire let out a low snarl as he traced into the small bedroom.
Caleb started to pull his tee-shirt over his head and turned around to see an angry vampire staring at him. His hands stopped in mid-pull causing his smooth chest and abs to show. Lucien stared down at the exposed flesh and growled before ripping the shirt off of Caleb. The mortal just stood silent as graceful fingers skimmed across his belt buckle and undid his pants causing them to pool around his feet. Picking up Caleb with ease, Lucien began kissing him softly as Caleb brought his legs around the vampire's waist. Lucien lowered them both softly on the bed and began to explore the man's body again. Nipping and sucking on throat and shoulders and nipples. Caleb groaned as he held Lucien's head close to his throat as the vampire sucked possessively on the flesh.
Lucien's hand cupped him through his black briefs causing Caleb to get even harder. A small spot of moisture had stained the front of his briefs and was causing a delicious friction as Lucien stoked him through the thin material. Caleb pushed his crotch into Lucien's hand and rubbed. Only Lucien could make him feel this way, so wanton and open; ready to be taken. The head of Caleb's cocked broke free past the band of elastic. Lucien's thumb stroked the leaking member causing sharp hisses from the younger man. The vampire smiled in a smug demeanor; he knew he had the power to make Caleb feel this way. For such a young man, the mortal loved to have complete control over everything. It was intoxicating and made Lucien long to thrust himself deep into the willing man.
Without a second thought, Lucien tore the briefs free and his eyes darkened with lust as he watched the erection bop fourth and stand proud. In the dark corners of the vampire's mind, Lucien wanted to mark the human hard; leave bruises and show the man exactly who he was fucking with. The vampire wanted pain, he wanted cries; a physical response telling him who he was and that he could do this type of damage to the flesh. But that was the vampire inside him, the animal fury inside him was enraged. For years he had waited for a companion and for years he had only lovers who graced his presence and bed sheets. No one had truly wanted him; they only wanted to be turned or to bask in his riches. Years of that and one could get pretty pissed when the real thing was within reach only to have said person run away. Lucien bent forward and kissed Caleb hard; putting fourth all the pent-up emotion he had felt for months into the kiss letting him know exactly how much he wanted the mortal. What his dark half wanted to do was overpowered by his love for the man. As much as he wanted to tear into flesh and drink scalding hot blood, and leave the man spent in passion and in life he wanted more for this man to accept him and what he was offering.
