“And your father?”
Aleksei raked a hand through his dreads. “He was killed… as were we.”
He clenched a hand into a fist. “How?”
“They drowned us.”
“What?”
“We didn’t know what we were then. We thought we were normal… until we woke up from being dead. Even then we didn’t fully realize what we were. That knowledge came later. As I was on the riverbank, holding a lifeless Vlad in my arms, he woke up… then Tat and Drei did as well.
“We were scared. This Quaker family came along and took us in. Even when it became clear we were not normal, they loved us and protected us to the best of their ability. To repay them, we took their last name.”
Aleksei pressed a hand against his chest. “But inside, I am and always will be Alexander Walker’s eldest son, and the one who misses him so much even after all this time I can taste my need for him.”
He watched tears fill the blue eyes he had always hated. “There is… there will always be a little lost boy inside of me crying out for a father who will never answer! He’s lost to me forever and I never got a chance to grieve for him because I am the eldest and I had three siblings for whom I had to be strong. The pain and the anguish is as fresh and overwhelming now as it was the night it happened. It has not stopped hurting in over three hundred long, lonely years. As long as I breathe, it will never stop hurting! I will forever long for, need, and miss my father.”
He felt Aleksei’s ache as if it were his own. The pain stabbed through him, slicing his heart into small, battered pieces. His emotions laid bare, he tossed the light cover over his legs aside and rose. Without speaking, he put his arms around Aleksei. The confident, powerful vampire he had spent a lifetime waiting to meet, turned in his arms, burying his face against his shoulder. He drew Aleksei down to the floor and held him, stroking his dreads, longing to comfort him. Aleksei shook. He tightened his arms and held Aleksei as he sobbed out a grief that had been held in check for centuries.
His own endless ache for a father’s love filled his eyes with tears. He made no effort to control them. They spilled down his cheeks and mingled with his father’s.
It’s all right. It’s all right. You don’t have to bear your pain alone anymore. I am here and I will share it with you. I’m here to share your pain. Lean on me… father.

“Can I get you anything, Xavier?”
Xavier, who sat in the living room area of the RV with Raven and the others, shook his head. He rose. “Now that I know he’s going to be okay, I must return to reassure the den and to make arrangements.”
She rose and followed him out the door. “What kind of arrangements?”
He hesitated, glancing toward the open door of the RV. “Unpleasant, but necessary ones. Acier is the most powerful shifter among us. If he could have so easily been taken to the brink of death during his battle with Leon de la Rocque and his enforcer, it will be necessary for some in the den to take steps to ensure the same fate does not befall those of us who will stand with him at the next battle.”
“What kind of steps are you considering?”
“As unusual as it may be, there might be a need for some of us to… be vaccinated against the poison de la Rocque’s enforcer can inflict.”
“How do you plan to do that?”
“We’ll do what is necessary, however unpleasant and dangerous.” He inclined his head. “Please excuse me.”
She touched his arm. “Have you discussed these measures with Acier?”
“No, but then I don’t need to. When he is away from the den, I have full authority to act in the den’s best interests.”
She shook her head, giving his arm a squeeze. “That’s not what I meant. I only meant that Acier wouldn’t want you to do anything that would be dangerous.”
“We of Den Gautier will do whatever is necessary to protect his life. Now if you will excuse me, I must make those arrangements.”
She sighed. “Okay, but whatever you do, please be careful. He not only values your position in the den, but he values you personally.”
He smiled, resisting the urge to kiss her hand. He’d left his cell phone in his SUV when Etienne had summoned him to Acier’s side. Back in the SUV, he picked up his cell phone, locating a familiar name, and hit send.
“What?”
He stifled a sigh. Vampires and their arrogant shit! “This is Xavier Depardieu. When can we meet to make the necessary arrangements?”
Chapter Three
Etienne stood in the doorway of an upscale vampire club in Society Hill Philadelphia. After his departure earlier from Vladimir, he felt in need of sexual comfort. The woman he hungered for with a passion that threatened to consume him belonged to Acier. So he had come to seek out the fem who had recently rocked his world and had almost succeeded in chasing away thoughts of Raven.
A beautiful, buxom brunette with dark eyes, seated on a barstool, turned to look at him. Her smile revealed her incisors. “Etienne, you handsome boy!” She rose and crossed the room.
“Kalista!” They met in the middle of the dance floor, her heavy breasts pressing against his chest as he hugged her. She slipped her hands down his back and cupped his ass, grinding her lower body against his. His cock sprang to rigid attention.
She moved her head until their mouths touched. Tightening his arms around her, he devoured her lips, sucking and pulling at her tongue. The extreme beauty of a vampire fem was her sensual nature, which gloried in her sexuality with no false pretenses of coyness. With her hands on his body, stroking his ass, and her lips and tongue inviting his to plunder, he released the tenuous control he had on himself.
All around them in the club, sounds of vampires fucking were interspersed with the pulse pounding music. He wanted her and he wanted her now. Swinging her up in his arms, he stalked across the big room, lit only by flashing strobe lights, to a spot against a far wall. He set her on her feet and pulled up her skirt, exposing her long, slender legs and the dark riot of curls surrounding her pretty pussy.
Locking her gaze with his, she slid down his zipper.
Her cool fingers closed around his fully erect shaft. He shuddered, urging her legs apart. She gave a tug and he moved closer, until the head of his shaft nestled against her pubic hair. A rage of lust washed over him. He growled and thrust forward, slamming deep within her tight, warm cunt.
She gasped. Grabbing his ass, she tugged, forcing the final inches of his cock into her. Her eyes blazed with lust. “Bang me, boy! Fuck me hard and fast! Ram your big hot dick deep and hard! Ruin me! Blast my cunt open! Blast me, boy!”
Her pussy felt hot and creamy. She was as wild for sex with him as he was with her. He fucked her hard and fast, slamming his cock into her with no fear of hurting her. It was difficult to hold on to his control long enough for her to come. He gritted his teeth, bit into one of her large breasts, right through her blouse, and stabbed his cock in and out of her in a frenzy of hunger.
She cried out, her cunt clasping and shuddering around him. Raising his head, he bared her neck, sank his teeth into her flesh, and fed on her as he blasted her full of his seed.
She held him in her arms, moaning softly as he pumped the last drop of his seed in her. “That’s it, my lovely boy.” She raked her incisors against his skin. “Give me every drop of your sweet seed.”
He licked her neck, leisurely thrusting his cock in and out of her.
She lifted his head and kissed his lips. “You will spend the night with me and I will ride you hard and fast -- all night long.”
That’s what he needed -- to be fucked all night long. Maybe she could fuck thoughts of Raven out of his mind. With her still impaled on his cock, he looked into her eyes. “Yes.”
She stroked his cheek. “Who is it that makes you so unhappy, my handsome boy? Tell me and I’ll get her and together we will fuck her into submission.”
He thought of Raven and shook his head. “I’m here because I need you.�
�
A naked body pressed against his back. He stiffened.
“What about me?” a soft, sultry voice demanded. “Would you like to be fucked all night by two lusty fems, handsome?”
It had been a long time since he’d had two women outside of work. He’d never had two full-blood fems. His cock, still hard, pulsed in Kalista’s cunt at the thought. “Hell, yeah.”
The woman behind him licked the back of his neck, parted his cheeks, and touched his asshole. “You have a lovely ass. Can I fuck it?”
He pulled out of Kalista’s pussy, placed his hands beside her body for leverage, and pushed back, shoving the woman behind him away. Swinging around, he found himself facing a tall fem with a luscious body. Her breasts were big and firm, her legs long and shapely legs. The sight of her dark, lovely body rekindled his ever-present hunger for Raven.
He bared his incisors. “No one fucks my ass!”
She cupped a hand over his cock and balls. “A pity.” Keeping her fingers on him, she slipped the fingers of her other hand inside her pussy. She removed them, placing them against his lips.
The scent of her cunt sent him into a frenzy. He licked her fingers. The taste of her inflamed his senses. He grabbed her hips, swung her against the wall next to Kalista, and shot his cock into the liquid warmth of her tight cunt. She moaned and thrust back at him, stroking her hands over his back.
“Oh, damn, handsome, you feel so fucking good. Hmmm. Oh, yeah! Lord, I love a male with a big, hard dick and a yen for good, black pussy.” She pressed her lips against his ear. “You do have a yen for black pussy, don’t you, handsome?”
He thrust deep into her, shuddering with the pleasure as her inner muscles massaged and caressed his cock. “Yes,” he whispered, his thoughts on Raven and her pretty, pink-lipped pussy.
“And I have a yen for big white cocks. So fuck away, handsome.”
After a moment of watching them fuck, Kalista moved behind him. She was almost as tall as he. Pressing her body against his back, she leaned her face past his head. Moments later, she had locked her lips over those of the other fem. Kalista moved her hands until he was aware of her cupping her palms over the fem’s ass. As he fucked into the fem’s clinging pussy, Kalista jerked the other woman’s hips forward, ensuring he got every inch of his cock deep into her with every downward lunge.
She has a sweet black cunt, doesn’t she, boy? Fuck it hard and deep. Make the juices flow from her like nectar.
Trapped between the two kissing fems with Kalista projecting her wanton lusts directly into his head, the sensations assailing him were intense. He lost his ability to prolong and control his release. He shuddered and came, driving his shaft hard and fast in the lovely fem as he did.
Kalista pulled her mouth away from the other woman’s and pressed her cheek against his. “Let’s go to bed, handsome, and I’ll fuck you and Adona all night.”
Etienne reluctantly pulled out of Adona’s slick, clinging pussy. He loved the way her swollen cunt lips clung to the head of his cock as he eased out of her. He cupped his hands over her hips. “I’d love to fuck your large, lovely ass.”
“Got a thing for sweet black pussy and a large, luscious black ass, huh?” She smiled. “My mouth, my pussy, my ass, are all yours for the taking, handsome. What’s your name?”
“Etienne.”
She pressed her lips against his. “Let’s go to bed and see if you can manage to get every inch of that hot dick of yours into my tight, eager ass.”
The thought of sliding his cock between her dark cheeks, past her hole, and into her ass nearly made him come again.
Kalista cupped a hand between Adona’s legs. “But first, I want to eat that sweet, black cunt of yours and taste your pussy juice.” She looked at Etienne. “Lord, I love eating her fragrant black pussy. Would you like to watch me eat her?”
Normally the idea of two women eating each other left him lukewarm at best. And having fucked Adona, he was no longer interested in Kalista. Still, he decided that admission was best kept to himself. He smiled. “Lead the way, ladies.”
As he followed them through the club, his gaze on Adona’s lovely dark body with its long legs, and enticing big ass, for the first time in weeks, he didn’t think of Raven.
* * *
Eight hours later, long after Kalista had left them alone together, Etienne eased his cock out of Adona’s tight ass. He rolled onto his back and lifted her body on top of his. He stroked his hands over her warm ass.
“Someone needs another fuck, huh?”
He slapped one of her cheeks. “Yes!”
Smiling, she impaled herself on him. Her pussy, slick with their combined juices, closed tightly around his cock.
“Damn!” He shuddered.
She rubbed her breasts against his chest. “This is some fucking good black pussy, huh?”
“This is fucking good pussy of any color.” He shoved his hips up, driving his entire length into her, groaning again. “Damn, I’ve never been inside a more addictive cunt.”
She moaned softly, grinding her hips against his. “Like all fems, I love big cocks… the bigger and thicker the better, but I have a special hunger for watching a big white cock pushing between the dark lips of my pussy, and slowly sinking into me until it’s difficult to see where the cock ends and my pussy begins. And baby, you have the best white meat this pussy’s ever had. Fuck me, handsome!”
Even after hours of non-stop fucking, her pussy still felt almost unbearably delicious. He curled his fingers in her hair, bringing her warm lips over his, and they shared a tender, prolonged fuck. They both came multiple times. Finally, as he felt his cum and her juices oozing out of her pussy to settle on his pubic hair, he became aware of a familiar presence.
“I have to go,” he told her. He kissed her slowly and reluctantly lifted her body off his, sliding out of bed.
“You sure you’re ready to leave all this?” She lay on her back with her long legs spread wide. A stream of her natural juices, clouded with his cum, trickled out of her pussy to disappear down the crack of her big ass.
After all the hours of fucking, the lips of her pussy gaped open in a lascivious invitation he was hard pressed to deny. His cock stirred. Just looking at her well-fucked slit nearly drove him crazy with renewed lust. Left to himself, he could fuck her until his cock went limp and numb. But this was not the time to trade his hunger for Raven for a new one for this dark, luscious beauty.
“I have to go.” He sat on the side of the bed, staring at her. “Are you bloodlusted?”
She sank two fingers between her legs and gently fucked herself. “I don’t know if I believe in a vampire having only one perfect mate.”
“So you’re not bloodlusted?”
“If I were, I wouldn’t have been able to spend the night with my pussy full of your thick meat.” She pulled her fingers out of her body and popped them into her mouth. “Hmmm. Your cum, mixed with pussy juice, tastes delicious.” She stroked a hand over his thigh to cup his cock. “Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself.” She plunged her fingers back inside her body, withdrew them, and pressed them against his lips. “Taste how good we are together, my handsome Etienne.”
Unable to resist, he climbed onto the bed, settled between her legs, and buried his face against her pussy. His nostrils filled with the musky aroma of her aroused cunt, and the juices flowing freely into his eager mouth, he stabbed two fingers in her and finger fucked and ate her sweet pussy.
An hour later, he pulled his tongue out of her climaxing pussy, and rose to stand by the bed on unsteady legs. “I have to go.”
She rolled onto her stomach, pressing her cheek against the bed. “Who’s keeping you, handsome?”
He dressed quickly. Before he left the room, he pressed several greedy kisses against her ass cheeks and thighs.
“Hmmm.” He hesitated, then eased her legs apart, and pressed a long, probing kiss against her cunt. He slid his tongue pass her swollen lips and into her pussy. He l
icked her warm flesh for several moments before he finally rose to his feet, breathing hard.
She turned to smile confidently at him. “It’s difficult to leave pussy this good, isn’t it?”
“Are you here often? If I want to see you again, can I find you here?”
“If I want to see you again, Etienne, I’ll find you. Do not come looking for me.”
“Why not?”
“Because I can only be found if and when I want to be found.” She rolled onto her stomach and drifted to sleep.
He turned and left the room, closing the door behind him. He encountered Kalista in the deserted club. She gave him a long look. “She hooked you too, didn’t she?”
“Too?”
She shrugged. “Like all fems, I love cock, but I swear whenever she shows up, I get this insatiable hunger to eat her pussy. Damn it’s good, isn’t it?”
“What is she?”
“What do you mean what is she?”
“I sense she’s not really a vampire.”
“The hell she isn’t.”
“She projects all the signs and mannerisms, but she is not a vampire.”
She grinned suddenly. “I really don’t care what she is. All I know is she’s now alone. And I am going to spend the next few hours eating the sweetest pussy on the planet.”
“She’s asleep.”
“She won’t be asleep long once I get my tongue inside that sweet hot box of hers.”
He ignored the sudden, jealous rage that washed over him and headed for the door. He emerged from the club to find a tall vampire with dark auburn hair, green eyes, and chiseled features sitting in the driver’s seat of his SUV. His shape shifting Keddi, in the form of a miniature wolf-shifter perched on the male’s shoulder.
He walked around to the passenger side and got in. He closed his eyes and leaned his head against the headrest.
All right?
He nodded without opening his eyes. Yes, Slayer. I’m all right, he told his Keddi.
Sure?
Yes. I’m sure. “What are you doing here, Damon?”
“I’m your best friend. Where else would I be when you’re troubled?”
