Authors Note: This story depicts graphic lesbian sex, some mild vampirism and mind control. All characters are fictitious and over 21 years of age.
This is the continuation of a story that was started several years ago. I realize that it has been an exceedingly long time in coming and I truly apologize to the loyal readers who have been asking me for another chapter to this series. However, as before, life gets in the way and the things we do in our free time get pushed to the wayside.
Hopefully, life will once again allow me to spend at least a little time writing.
As always, thank you for reading my words.

Chapter Nine
... another place.
London, 2002
A nearly imperceptible change in atmosphere alerted Else to the fact that someone had just entered her spacious office. She pushed the keyboard away irritably, sat back in her high-backed executive chair and swiveled around to see who it was. Inga strode across the room dressed in very short, very tight exercise shorts and a jogbra. Perspiration beaded on her dusky skin as she wiped at her thick black hair with a towel.
"Out running again?" Else asked, putting her feet up on the edge of the desk.
Inga wiped her face. "No. Yoga in the park today. I might go running later though. Too hot right now."
Almost reflexively, Else turned in her seat to look out the huge, floor to ceiling windows that lined one entire wall of her office. The sun streaming into her office was dimmed considerably by the heavy tint and ultraviolet filters on the windows but she could easily see it was a very bright, sunny day. She shuddered a little at the thought of going out in sunlight that strong. It had been more than two decades since they had begun treatments in an attempt to control their dangerous weakness to sunlight, their 'sun allergy' as Inga liked to call it. Indeed, much like the allergy treatments that many people went through, they had started their own treatments by exposing themselves to at first minute exposures of ultraviolet light with a tanning bed. Then, over time, increasing the exposure to longer and longer durations as their bodies became more and more accustomed to the exposure.
Else still remembered with a shudder the horrible, searing pain of those first treatments. They all did. It had been like being dipped in a vat of hot candle wax. But after the initial treatments, the pain had quickly lessened as their tolerance increased. After a time, years for the lighter skinned like Else, quicker, mere months, for Inga who was naturally darker skinned, they had been able to tolerate brief trips outdoors into the late afternoon sun.
Over the years, all of them had taken the treatments to the point that they could survive outside all day if necessary. Though not necessarily pleasant or even comfortable, it was at least safe, mostly. But none of them really enjoyed the sun very much. It was still at best an uncomfortable experience to be out in it for any length of time. Something to be done only for short periods when absolutely necessary.
All of them except Inga that is. Inga had become a sun worshiper. She had worked for years to build up her tolerance of the sun's ultraviolet rays and had eventually conquered their condition. She alone of all of them would lie out on the roof to work on her tan. Something that even ten years ago would likely have killed even the Mistress in short order.
Else shook her head a little at the though. A vampire with a tan, who would ever have dreamed it. "You're insane. Why bother exercising anyway? You think it's going to make you live longer?"
One slender eyebrow arched as Inga smiled a little quirky grin, "Well, I
am
vampire so technically I'm already dead."
Else threw up her hands, "Exactly! What's the point?"
"It makes me feel good. You really do get a high off of exercise you know." Her lips twisted into a lascivious little smirk, "Also, the girls in my yoga group..." She purred, "So beautiful and fit and flexible too of course. There's this one girl, Jessica, she started a few weeks ago. Mmmm... she's adorable. A petite little thing with red hair, freckles and glasses. I seduced her right in the park the other day. Found a quiet place over behind some landscaping and..." She smiled at Else, "Well, you know."
Else shook her head in some odd combination of exasperation, admiration, lust and jealousy.
After their transformation into a vampire, almost all beings experienced a form of revitalization. The effects of aging were reversed, scars faded and illnesses were cured in virtually all who were changed. There were often other effects as well. Most beings gained at least some power over mortal beings, a few, such as the Mistress and Vala, gained a great deal of power to control others. Most also underwent a form of sexual transformation as well, becoming more sensual and seductive especially to mortals. Still other changes, although rare, were possible depending upon the individual's circumstances at the time of transformation, as Else had learned to her eternal irritation.
Upon Inga's transformation, her latent sexuality had blossomed dramatically. The beautiful gypsy from the river had become a wanton, sapphic sex goddess who could quite literally seduce any woman she wished with just a smile. Even after knowing her for over four centuries, Else still couldn't resist the woman's seductions. Inga was absolutely overwhelming.
"You're such a trollop." Else said with a wry smirk and turned back to her computers, forcing down the gout of hot lust that welled up in her center and hoping Inga couldn't see it in her eyes.
Before her, eight large computer screens covered the wall in front of her desk. All were displaying either stock and commodity prices or news broadcasts. She sighed. The global markets were down today she wasn't doing very well.
"Are you ever going to get out of this office and go have some fun out in the real world?" Inga asked.
"All of the rest of you get to go have fun." Else quipped, punching in a few commands. The price of silver had just dropped a bit and she put in a buy order for five million US dollars. "Someone around here has to make some money."
"Pah!" Inga barked out a laugh. ""You've made enough money in the couple hundred years to buy up half of England. Give it a break and go have some fun." Inga turned and headed for Else's private bathroom. "Mind if I use your shower?" Without waiting for a reply she walked in and pulled the door shut.
"Sure." Else muttered more in exasperation that real irritation. She was well used to getting chided by the others, especially Inga and Rae, about working too much. But to her this wasn't work, it was a challenge and more over, it was fun.
A while later the door opened and Else turned to see Inga emerging wrapped in a fluffy white towel. Else's eyes caught for a moment on Inga's long shapely legs. The girl really was stunning.
"Have you heard from Rae?"
