Ben stared across the club. The writhing mass of bodies on the dance floor
below made his fangs ache. He sniffed at the bottled blood in his glass and
then threw it to the floor. Tonight he wanted the real stuff, straight from a
warm body that would squirm and panic and then finally succumb.
“What’s wrong, Crofton?”
Robin was sitting petting one of his current hangers-on, a pretty redhead who hoped he would turn her. They never learnt. He wouldn’t fuck her
either… but that was a different preference that had little to do with her
blood type and more that the next Viscount Whetford preferred men.
“I fancy a live performance.”
“You only had to say. I’m sure Kirsty here could go and find you
someone. What do you fancy?”
“I’m not fussy.”
Robin snorted. “Of course you aren’t.”
“I meant when it comes to the wrapping. Vibrant, red and warm, the
vessel is immaterial.”
Robin grabbed Kirsty’s chin, making her look at him, Robin’s thrall had
always been special. “Go and find Lord Crofton someone pretty.
Understood?”
She nodded and stood then, barefoot, she padded away. Ben picked up
his martini, this place had the most marvellous witch mixologists, and
turned back to Robin. “I hear there’s wedding bells in your future.”
Robin huffed. “Only in the sense that the minimum waiting period is up
in three months, but I’ve not heard that MacLove’s father is in any hurry.”
“I suppose it would curtail your activities somewhat.”
“There are ways and means around the peculiarities of any contract,
even if it was made to shackle me to a vampire-fae. Only someone truly
special could do that.”
“Aren’t vampire-fae, by their nature, special? There are people who
deny their existence.”
“There are idiots everywhere. Although between you and me, no one’s
shown me conclusive proof that MacLove is one. It’s all rumour. They’re
such an old family, and James has been the only Dark Earl, so who knows
what he’s hiding. Maybe the vampire-fae and the legends around them are
just that.”
Ben wasn’t sure either way, but there were some secrets that were
closely guarded by the Vampire Council, and during his time working on
the periphery, he’d never met the Dark Earl of MacLove. “Still, some of
those contracts have bonds with subclauses that mean you’ll have no desire
to look elsewhere. You could find yourself enchanted and ensnared.”
Robin smirked although there was an edge to it that Ben couldn’t
decipher. “If that is true, which I do not believe to be the case, then that’s
even more reason not to marry him too soon. And I know a few friendly
warlocks who’ll help me get past a bit of fae hocus-pocus.”
Ben was grateful he’d not been successful in his offer to marry Simon,
the earl’s son. He’d been instructed by the Head of the House of Hewel to
put himself forward as a contender, but in the end, he had lost out to Robin,
although he’d didn’t think it a failure and he wasn’t disappointed in the
least. “But you must be curious about him.”
