She was scared of us when she first found out we are the undead, me most of all because I never took her to bed. If you’re not a toy to a vampire, then you must be food.
But Han frequently forgot whenever Bas was away that their human pet needs to eat. I always make sure the girl is fed whenever I stock up the castle with supplies. She understands now despite my disinterest, I will never harm her.
Another sharp moan echoes as the girl unravels for the seventh time tonight. Could be more but I’m not really counting. I briefly glance at their new position, Han pumping into her mouth and Bas slamming into her from behind, their bodies moving together in tandem rhythm.
A deep husky groan leaves Han, his features tightening with pleasure as she takes him to the hilt. He withdraws from her gently before he can finish, spilling onto her back instead. Unusual for him. Han must be fond of this girl.
Bas is not far from his own release, thrusting relentlessly behind her until he bellows her name out loud, rattling every window in the castle.
The air is filled with the sound of their harsh breathing.
“Come join us,” Han invites me from across the room.
“No.”
“You used to be fun,” he mutters begrudgingly.
Bas knows better than to pester me when I’m not in the mood. But Han is persistent when he wants something.
“Is Gwyn not good enough for you?” he asks again.
At this question, Bas whirls his head in my direction, curious for my answer.
I let out a long breath. “You know that’s not it. I’m just… tired.”
“That is sad… You have a cure for that, don’t you?” Han asks the other vampire.
Bas is a great scholar and healer who hails from a continent different from ours, a land of great civilization, where their pharaoh god-kings build magnificent structures reaching to the heavens. I should have liked to visit there someday. He is thebest at what he does, and it’s the main reason Lilith picked him as her Strigon. She chose me, my brother, and Vlad for our physical prowess as warriors. Han, the traveling young merchant was selected purely for his looks.
There we are, five unfortunate souls who encountered Lilith, now doomed to an eternity as her immortal slaves.
“Leave him be. Gwyn is tired anyway,” Bas says, raking a hand through his dark hair. He grasps the girl’s chin to check on her. “Let me get you more wine.”
Her eyes widen as he rouses from the bed. “You don’t have to do that.”
That kind of kindness is uncommon to her, she is used to harsh living conditions in the village. The kind of life where she has to carry heavy pails of water from the river, of scarce food to make it to the next day, of hunting and collecting firewood to keep warm. Even a single candle is considered a luxury to her. I remember how she wept when she saw me lighting up dozens in the room.
“I want to.” Bas smiles at her.
Warm light flickers in her eyes as she watches him slip out of bed. No surprise there. He must’ve seemed like a god to her when he saved her little village.
What truly fucks me is the look that he gives her right back.
This can’t be good.
While Han has been feeding and messing around in the nearby towns, Bas has not been with anyone else ever since he met Gwyn. Last month, he actually growled at me for standing too close to the girl.
Fuck no. Not this again.
His last infatuation with a human took him almost a century to forget. The astronomer’s friendship with Bas was born purely out of their fascination with the stars. Their short acquaintance was enough for Bas to look after the human in his twilight years,and he held his hand on his deathbed. The vampire’s grief lasted long after the man’s passing.
That is what a mere friendship does to Bas…
What he and Gwyn have appears far more dangerous, more potent.
My heart paces uncomfortably in my chest.
“I’m going to take a bath,” Gwyn announces.
