The goblet was taken away, his head lowered. He licked the sticky liquid from his lips. Opening his eyes, he looked up to see those bizarre fluorescent blue eyes looking down into his. He felt his cold naked body cover his, his tongue dip down to lick the blood from his lips.
He was being opened, fingers invading his anus, moving in and out. Then suddenly, it was like an electric current shot through his entire body. He cried out, his body being infused with a sense of power that yanked his body off the table and lifted him into the air. He hovered there, gasping for breath as the blond God-like creature rose with him.
He was being held, spread prone in the air as fingers continued to probe him, giving him wave after wave of pleasure. Then the blond creature moved over him, his white robe falling open to reveal his thick engorged phallus. He let it glide over his lips, then as Bryce’s jaw fell open, he plunged it into his mouth. At the same time, he felt himself being entered by something. It was smooth and huge, greased with that deliciously scented oil.
Suddenly a hand covered his sex, fondling it roughly as the object and the blond vampire’s sex moved in and out of him at the same time. He exploded now, his cock vibrating with an orgasm which seemed to go on and on until finally he dropped to the floor in satiated exhaustion.
After a few minutes, when his breathing returned to normal, he opened his eyes to see this beautiful white haired man standing in front of him.
The vampire smiled at him. “I’m Thor. I’m your servant,” he bowed his head. “Do you know who you are?”
He licked his lips, looking around him at the others who stood with their heads bowed. “I’m Dino,” he said, looking up at him. “How did I…?”
“You are home,” Thor said, smiling. “Please, Prince, if you would be so kind,” he let his robe fall to the floor, “I want you to fuck me.”
Dino got up off the floor. As he stood, the others backed away. He eyed them, than looked around. His vision was ten times sharper. He could see a spider meticulously spinning an elaborate web in the far corner of the room. He knew that he could crush a man with one hand. He knew who he was.
He looked at the blond vampire who waited patiently for his response, then he looked at the others. “Leave us,” he demanded.
Quickly, they fled.
“Why did you bring me back?” Dino lifted his hand to push back his hair. It was longer, hanging just past his shoulders.
“You were meant to be here all along,” Thor said with a sigh. Picking up his robe off the floor, he reluctantly put it on. “Seems you are not in the mood to…”
“All in good time,” he replied, taking a few steps forward.
Thor reached over and pulled the red velvet robe off the table. He offered it to him with a polite bow.
Dino took it and put it on. He wrapped it around him and then met his gaze. “Where am I?”
“You are in the twenty fifth century on the Planet of the Damned.”
“Planet of the…?” He tasted the words in his mouth.
“What do you remember of your existence, my prince?” Thor asked him.
‘Prince?’ he mouthed.
“Yes. You are the preordained prince of the vampire nation. I have been acting in your stead for almost four centuries. It has been with great difficulty that we have managed to bring you back to us.”
Dino narrowed his eyes. “I remember my maker…”
“Yes. You destroyed him.”
He swallowed. “That was forbidden. I was hunted.”
He nodded.
“Joey,” he said, looking up into Thor’s eyes. “Where is he?”
“Gone,” Thor said. “Long gone. He came to assassinate you. You must forget about him. He is the reason you have…”
Dino narrowed his eyes. “I promised him that we would always be together.”
“And you kept that promise, Dino,” Thor nodded at him. “It brought the both of you only tragedy and death. It diverted you from your predestined path as our lord, isolating an entire nation on this god forsaken planet. It was a mistake.”
Suddenly, Thor’s hands reached out to him. “My Lord, my beautiful dark prince of the blood, I am your servant. Take me. Take me and then take your rightful place. Lead us into the future.”
Thor dropped his robe then tore a gash down the length of his chest. A line of warm red blood bubbled up to the surface of his skin.
Dino licked his lips and growled deeply, his eyes glowing red.
He took off his robe.
Thor ran his gaze over his beautiful body, the beauty even more enhanced since the transformation.
Dino grabbed him by the waist. He licked the blood that ran down his chest. The wound instantly healed over. Then he explored his flesh with his hand, taking a few minutes to run his fingers over his nipples and slap at his hard organ.
Thor moaned, closing his eyes.
Dino yanked his head back by his long hair, exposing his neck. He lowered his mouth there. At the same time as he slammed his sex into him, he plunged his two sharp fangs into the flesh of his throat.
Thor cried out with pleasure. He was being lifted off the floor now, ridden as if he were no more than an animal. He arched his back, his blue eyes blazing. He knew this could go on for hours. Umm. Heaven. How long he had waited for his touch, to be his servant.
He was being slammed against the wall now. He felt the prince’s organ deep within him as he licked at the blood which was flowing from the wounds in his throat.
Then he pulled out, plunging back in. “Ahhh…” Thor cried out.
Dino pulled away, turning him around, holding him prone on the ceiling. His brown eyes were gold now, the gorgeous razor sharp fangs exposed. He bit his nipples, than moved down to his sex, where he began to torment him with his tongue, then he pierced the flesh there and drank deeply.
Thor licked his lips, his body in complete submission. He was being turned over again. Dino brought him down to the floor. Yanking him up to his knees, he possessed him again.
Floating upwards, Thor groaned as his entire body went into orgasmic spasms.
In his iron grip, there was no escape as Dino thrust even deeper into him. Wrenching back his head, he bit deeply into his jugular. With his mind, he told him, “You are just inches away from destruction. If you don’t tell me where Joey is, I will drain you dry. Make your choice.”
RUBY MIRACLE COOPERATION: RUBY CITY
Tyler sat alone in his grandfather’s chair. He was surrounded by military from Sentra; Bryce Donovan’s soldiers, men and women he had personally trained.
It had taken almost a week to secure the city. Both his grandfather and his mother had been killed. The acting Commander of the Sentra forces, Sam Carter was determined to send a squad to the Planet C-Thirty Five to bring back Bryce Donovan. Tyler told her not to bother.
“But Sir,” she said to him earlier that morning, “he may still be alive out there. We must also insure that Ethan Hues a.k.a. Modem is truly dead. He may be…”
“If you’d seen him, and the others, you’d know,” Tyler said, looking off for a moment.
“But we are still not sure of the cause of death,” she cleared her throat.
It was then that Tyler had told her to close the door to the office. Lowering his voice, he said, “You must swear to keep this between us, Commander.”
“Certainly, Sir,” she nodded. “You are the supreme leader. I would not betray your confidence.”
“The planet of the damned is populated by…” he paused, “vampires.”
She smiled. “Sir, with all due respect, that is a rumour.”
He shook his head. “No. I spoke to one of them there. There is no danger to anyone. Apparently, they can not leave the planet…something to do with the atmosphere…I’m not too clear about it. To send a unit there is to invite slaughter, and you will not find Donovan.”
She lowered her head. “Then he is…” she paused, “dead? You saw him?”
Tyler swallowed. He couldn’t bea
r to tell her what had really happened to him. “I suggest you plan a full military funeral for him.” Tears stung his eyes. “Spare no expense.”
Tears glistened in her own eyes for a minute, then disappeared.
After she left had the office, Tyler stood up and looked out the window. When it came right down to it, he had told her the truth. The man known as Bryce Donovan was dead.
Dino. He had seen him in his dreams. Tears streamed down his face. He had never wanted to leave that planet without him. He would have become whatever he was, just to be with him. But that bastard Thor had wanted him for himself. It wasn’t right. He couldn’t let it end like this. He didn’t believe in Thor’s version of destiny. He believed in theirs. No one would ever convince him otherwise. He just had to find a way to get back to him. Even if he had to live on the Planet of the Damned forever, he would. They would be damned together.
The processing plant was up and running now. Space Crafts were being loaded with the Ruby Miracle and making ready for transport. He was now the head of Ruby Cooperation, the supreme ruler of the entire galaxy. He had become Jack Rose. People scrambled to fulfil his most mundane desire. But what he really desired seemed way beyond his reach.
RAGE
“How dare you take my life, and make me this!” Dino roared as Thor stood chained to the concrete wall. “I never asked for this.”
The others stood silently watching, not daring to speak.
“It was your destiny,” he cried out, weakening by the moment.
Dino turned to look at the others. There were four of them. That was all that was left of the vampire nation. “Pathetic,” he threw at them. “You cowered on this planet, allowing your race to fall into demise. I am not responsible for this.”
One of them, a red haired woman with bright green eyes said softly, “My Lord, we are prisoners here on this planet. We cannot leave. Many of our kind grew despondent over the centuries and chose death.”
Dino sucked in some breath. How could he not feel for them? He was one of them. “Why can’t you leave, Celia?”
“The air,” another said, an ebony skinned man with black eyes. “We cannot breathe the air on any other planet except for this one.”
“That is utter nonsense. That is…” he paused, glaring at Thor. “You. You told them this…to keep them here. Why?”
Thor’s head flopped to one side. “At least they are safe here. Outside they would be hunted. With no leader, we…”
“You were their leader,” Dino growled. He turned to them. “You may leave here any time. There is nothing wrong with the air on other planets.”
Looking at each other, they left the room.
Thor cried after them, “No, my children. You will be hunted.”
Dino came closer to him, “Where is Joey?”
“He is no longer Joey. He is Tyler,” Thor groaned. “And he has betrayed you. You ignored your destiny. You were supposed to reign with me. You chose him, and look, he left you here to die. He doesn’t love you. I love you, Dino. I was supposed to be your destiny.”
Dino sucked in some air. “Transmit to me the memories, the memories of my mortal life with this Tyler. And Thor, it better be true.”
“If I do, you will spare my life?” Thor pleaded.
Dino nodded.
“It doesn’t change the fact that you are the Prince of the vampires.”
“I know that,” he said. “Now, do as I ask. Show me the mortal life you have stolen from me, the life of this Bryce Donovan.”
Dino gripped Thor’s mind. A steady stream of his life piled back into his memory banks. His birth, his military training from the age of five, his sexual experiences, his rise to Commander of the Sentra military forces, then Tyler Rose. He closed his eyes at the end. He relived their lovemaking, delicious, and then the capture. Finally, Tyler’s words, this time coming to him clear and strong. He had used him. He had been Ethan’s lover and co-conspirator all along. He had stood aside as Captain Smart had pumped his mortal body full of drugs and used him for his pleasure. Even Tyler had used him.
Finally, Dino released Thor. He placed his hand to his head for a moment. Slowly, he walked over to where Thor was secured and undid his constraints. “Leave this place,” he told him, his eyes burning red as he gazed at him. “Don’t ever return.”
“I won’t give up on you, Dino. Until you realise that your place is with me…”
“Go!” Dino’s voice thundered, practically shaking the rafters above their heads.
Thor bowed his head and made a hasty retreat from the room.
* * * *
For days, perhaps even weeks, he sat alone trying to bring together his thoughts. He sustained himself on the Ruby Miracle pills that were stockpiled everywhere on the desolate planet.
He was remembering Joey in their former life, a vampire who had come to kill him…a very old vampire. He had been beautiful, a replica of Tyler, except his curly black hair had been longer with a purple streak running through it…and he had always worn those earrings, shaped like crosses. He had been wearing them the first time they met.
They had fallen in love and betrayed their possessive masters. They were hunted, trapped in a tower. Then somehow, he had vowed to bring them together again in another life. They had walked out into the sun, looking into each others eyes as they died.
And he had brought them back, through some power he wasn’t even aware of, he had managed to propel them both into another time and place where they met again. And although the memories were faint, he believed that he had done it more than once.
But now, those words he had said to him as he was being held prisoner in this house, came back to him. “Bryce, I need to tell you something. There is no…I mean there never was any…I used you. I distracted you while I conspired with Ethan to overthrow Ruby Miracle. I just couldn’t work for Jack. I love Ethan. You understand?”
Dino let out an anguished growl.
He had given Joey his heart, not just for a lifetime, but for eternity. He had given up immortality for him. Finally, in the guise of Tyler Rose, he had stabbed him directly in the heart. Two thick blood tears made their way over his cheeks. He hastily wiped them away and staggered to his feet. He realised that the Ruby was not enough. He was on his way to being emaciated. He had to eat. There was no more time for tears.
Although the vampires had murdered Modem, Smart and their henchmen; they had set Tyler Rose free. He knew that Thor had provided him with a space craft, and that he had returned to Ruby City.
Dino walked out onto the darkened planet. It was strange to feel such solitude. He couldn’t remember feeling so alone, except maybe just after he had been transformed, before Joey had came into his life. Now, that feeling had returned. His keen eyes scanned the star filled sky, then he raised up his arms and embraced the night.
VAMPIRES IN RUBY CITY
Tyler sat at a private table in the corner of the ManBar with Ryan. His bodyguards, Hughie, Dewey, and Lewie, as he had come to call them, stood a few feet away.
“Are you alright, Tyler?” Ryan took a sip of his drink and gave his friend a concerned look.
Tyler sighed. “I’m fed up with being followed around everywhere. I just wish the three stooges over there would get a life.”
“You know it’s necessary, especially considering the recent rash of murders in the city. It might be related to Modem or…”
“Modem is dead, and so are his mobsters.”
“You know what the military told you. As soon as they get one, someone else springs up to…”
“Yea, I know,” Tyler said, looking down at his hands. This was the first night in over six weeks that he had even attempted going out. It was useless. He missed Bryce. He thought about him trapped there on that planet every waking minute. Several times he had planned an escape, trying to harness a craft so that he could set course for C-Forty five, but these body guards had eyes in the back of their heads. He couldn’t catch a break.
Ryan took his
hand. “I know how much you love Bryce, but if you could just let go of him, Tyler. Listen, I know it’s probably not the time but Tyler, I…well, I think we’d make a good pair. I’ve always wanted to be with you. You know that.”
Tyler smiled at him. “Thanks, Ryan. I love you too but, as a friend.”
Ryan swallowed and looked a way for a second. When he turned back to him to say something, Seth Murdock of the Sky Police was standing in front of them.
“Sir,” he said, giving Tyler a little salute.
Tyler gave him a look of irritation. “This is not the time, Murdock.” He wasn’t one of his biggest fans anyway. He suspected that he and Bryce had slept together.
“I’m sorry, sir,” Seth cleared his throat. It felt quite ridiculous to address this little jerk as Sir, but like it or not, he was now the man. “Commander Carter needs to speak with you right away. It’s urgent.”
Tyler got reluctantly up from his seat. Everyone watched him as he walked out, followed by his entourage of body guards and a sky police officer.
“I think I can ensure his security,” Murdock said briskly to the body guards as they all attempted to crawl into Murdock’s Patrol vehicle.
“It’s alright,” Tyler told them.
The three men nodded, one announcing that they would be following them in their own vehicle.
Tyler sighed as he crawled in beside Murdock.
As they left the parking space and headed up into the sky, Murdock said abruptly, “Now that we’re alone, I think I need to tell you that I find it a damn shame that Bryce gave his life for yours.”
“Oh, really?” Tyler looked over at him. “Bryce, is it?”
Seth glanced back at him. “Commander Donovan was an honourable man and he was damn good…”
“…in bed?” Tyler sneered.
“I wouldn’t know,” Seth replied stiffly. “The Commander was a professional soldier. He was too honourable to engage in sexual activity with his officers.”
