Ch. 9 - Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!
Chapter Nine of
Vampires Vampires Vampires
, a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun confess and consummate.
~
“Do you regret it?”
Malory caught his apology on his tongue. Of course he regretted any discomfort or embarrassment he’d caused. Yet the bo’sun did not appear discomforted or embarrassed. A gleam of intrigue lit up those dark and compelling eyes, and the ghost of a smile played at the corners of those full lips which Malory wished to kiss again. The memory of last night, the taste of wine and salt and the intoxicating scent of another man’s musk, threatened to overwhelm him even now.
“Do you regret it?” Malory echoed at last.
The bo’sun gave him a considering look. “I only regret you were not sober.”
Malory didn’t dare to hope he’d heard him correctly. Yet he heard himself reply, “I’m sober now.”

Chapter Eight of
Vampires Vampires Vampires
, a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun drink deep.
~
“I think,” Octavio murmured against the baronet’s lips, “you ought to go to bed, sir.”
The gleam in Sir Malory’s eyes as he pulled back told Octavio he hadn’t spoken plain enough.
“Alone, sir,” Octavio added.
The spark of delight faded and the baronet’s eager smile fell as, slowly yet surely, he realised the meaning behind Octavio’s words. Octavio kept his own face blank even as Sir Malory searched it in desperation. Then the baronet licked his lips and swallowed hard. His chair scraped against the floorboards as he stood.
“Right,” said Sir Malory, no longer looking at Octavio but at anywhere else in the dark corners of the study. His hands flexed at his sides before settling to fiddle with his cuff-links. “Yes. Well.”
Octavio remained seated and silent as a stone.

Chapter Seven of

, a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun go hunting.
~
Wolves were driven out of Britain almost a century hence. Certainly no wolf had been seen within the bounds of Ferndale Priory in Malory’s lifetime. Therefore the beast standing before him could not possibly be a wolf. It must be a wolf-hound, of Irish or Scottish make, though the long and crooked muzzle didn’t resemble any wolf-hound Malory had ever known. Nor did the glinting yellow eyes.

Chapter Six of
Vampires Vampires Vampires
, a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein Malory and Talfryn enjoy a tryst in the monastery ruins.
~
“Do you consider my debt repaid, sir?”
Malory hesitated. By his own reckoning, Talfryn had more than repaid him. Yet, if Malory admitted as much, Talfryn might well pack up and leave the ruined monastery forever.
Talfryn smiled. “Unless you’d prefer I remain.”
Malory swallowed hard. “Perhaps we might come to some arrangement.”
Talfryn grinned. A beautiful grin. One in which Malory couldn’t help noticing peculiar pointed eye-teeth that leant a feral aspect to the whole.
Yet the sight did not deter him from twining his fingers through those dark curls as Talfryn devoured him in another kiss.
