Vampire Love Stories - Ch 3
The family settles in London. Henri & Margaret look for partners to spice up their sex life. Circumstances lead them to opening a new business.
...
Having escaped the French Revolution with their money and art inventory, the family moved to London. They purchased a home in Kensington Palace Gardens. It was the height of the British Empire. From London, Queen Victoria ruled over large parts of the world. Riches flowed back to England from India, the Caribbean and numerous other colonies. Global trade routes made industrialists hugely wealthy, while the aristocracy was able to make the most of their inherited wealth. Fine art was an expression of one's prosperity. Henri and Margaret planned to capitalize on these market forces.
Henri bought a failing art business on Regent Street, an upscale shopping district. The physical layout of the building was great, and it had location, location, location. In addition, it had some excellent contemporary art in stock. The owner was simply not engaged with the business and neglect was killing it. With an infusion of money and involved owners it quickly began showing a handsome profit. They hired a General Manager to run the day-to-day aspects of the business. Their daughter, Tilly, was Assistant Manager, but the arrangement was more of a split of responsibilities. Having not requested a semen source, she eventually lost most of her physical powers, but her intellect and business acumen were excellent.
Although bloodletting as a medical treatment was not as popular as in decades past, Henri located a source which kept them well fed. Henri and Margaret worked in the early evenings acquiring and selling artwork. Life settled into a routine and several years passed.
Henri and Margaret had been married for over 45 years. Sex was still enjoyable, but not as exciting as it had been a half century ago. They frequently, but idly, discussed bringing a third person, possibly a human, into their sex play. One evening they were at the gallery, having just sold a large painting by Chardin, which they brought from France. They were drinking a bottle of expensive champagne to celebrate.
After the bottle was finished, Henri transformed into a wolf. His cock was hard and out of its sheath. Margaret growled but didn't transform.
"Come here, Mon animal de compagnie (my pet)," she whispered, pulling up her dress.
Henri's transformed nose and tongue sluiced between her thighs. She lay back in the chaise and spread her legs. Her wolfman nipped and growled, while lavishing attention on her.
She orgasmed once... twice, and then transformed herself. Henri mounted his wolf bitch and violently fucked her. After a few minutes he returned to human form and continued to pump deeply in his she-wolf. He came with a howl. She returned to human form, and they collapsed on the bed in each other's arms. For the next hour, they petted. Both remained slightly aroused, touching each other intimately.
"We've talked many times about finding another sex partner," she whispered.
"Oui, plusieurs fois (Yes, many times)," he replied.
"Let's do it. You look for a man to join us. I'll find a woman." Margaret suggested.
"Comme vous le souhaitez, mon amour (As you wish, my love.) Henri replied.
...
Henri was a member of Boodle's, a London gentlemen's club, founded in January 1762, by Lord Shelburne, the future Marquess of Lansdowne and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It was a conservative Tory club and allowed him to mix and mingle with the upper crust of British society. He used his hereditary title of Seigneur, the French equivalent of an English Lord. His story of fleeing the French Revolution was well received by the members, since they had a similar experience with the cock-up in their former North American colonies.
One evening he was enjoying an excellent blended malt scotch whiskey and chatting with a young Baron, who had recently purchased a new estate. Henri saw him as a prospect and was educating him on the advantages of investing in art.
"Henri," he heard in a heavy French accent.
He turned to find Benoit, walking towards him.
"Henri, you devil. I see you escaped the rebellion as well."
They embraced and exchanged la bise, the traditional cheek kisses. Henri excused himself from the previous conversation and found a private nook to catch up. Benoit still felt some guilt at having changed Henri's life. He confessed Henri was his first and last conversion. He had been helping people of means escape the revolution's aftermath and had become financially secure, as a result.
Henri told him about Margaret and Tilly, the sale of the estate, and the success in the art business both in France and England. They had been talking for almost an hour when Benoit shared his envy of Henri's family life and talked about a long series of short-term relationships and sexual encounters.
"I've had many multiple partner sexual encounters with both humans and our own kind." Benoit lamented.
Henri suggested that longevity is comfortable, but sometimes monotonous. He mentioned he and Margaret had remained monogamous but now wanted to invite someone to have sex with them.
