<i>Finally,</i>Kade thought to himself.  Dorian was stronger than many, and he’d held out for quite a while longer than expected.  In the end, all it had taken was time and persistence to unravel him, weaken his will, and force him to acknowledge and voice his desires.  It manifested physically in the way Kade was pulled closer, and the way that Dorian touched his face.  The vampire leaned into the gentle hand with a soft sigh, his pale eyes closing as he simply enjoyed it.<br/><br/>When he looked at Dorian again, he could see the tears.  What exactly were they for?  For his life?  Did he fear that his life would really end, now that Kade had gotten what he wanted?  There was something deeper there than that, and when he examined those grey eyes, shimmering in the dim light, he couldn’t help but think they looked sad.  And yet the words that came then were encouraging.  Dorian was aware of what he wanted, didn’t want it to stop there.  Better yet, he was offering up his pretty neck like a willing sacrifice.<br/><br/>Kade exhaled, the sound brief yet sharp, not at all like the pleased sighs and warm laughs he’d given earlier.  It was hard to resist an offering under normal circumstances, but now they were drowning in physical sensation, and Dorian tasted so damned good.  He still wasn’t ready to end it.  He wasn’t ready to kill him.  If he took from the human’s neck, Kade wasn’t sure if he would be able to stop himself.  Did Dorian understand that?<br/><br/>His hand came to rest against the handsome face staring up at him, and he brushed a tear from the corner of Dorian’s eye with his thumb.  It was pathetic.  And beautiful, really.  Kade found himself wondering what made the man tick, why he was so sad, why he remained alone in the world.  He was a fine specimen and could’ve had his pick of many men and most women, had money, success, and a brilliant mind.  Yet he had isolated himself away.  Kade had assumed that it was because he was a cold, heartless being.  Now, seeing deeply enough to pick out the anguish, though he still didn’t know the root cause, the vampire was doubting his initial assessment of his prey.  Since when had he cared so much about that?  It infuriated him, but he internalized it, only pressing his mouth against Dorian’s again and kissing him deeply.<br/><br/>It was somewhat of a distraction, for the both of them, because Kade wasn’t sure he trusted himself to accept the offer right away.  Aside from that, while his bite was a great way to take the edge off of stretching an inexperienced lover, it seemed almost unfair to cover up every first sensation with it.  For that reason as much as for his own control, Kade held onto the kiss, occupying his mouth until he was ready.  The taste of Dorian was still sweet, yet there was no blood left to influence it.  He wanted to express his delight, but knew that it would come across too predatory and ruin the moment, so when their lips parted, it was silent, save for heavy breaths.  By that time, he was already pressing against Dorian.  The head of his cock popped in with little trouble, and he sank deeper into the man’s virgin body, moaning his satisfaction.<i>Hot…</i>It was like being engulfed in fire.  His eyes were still fixated on the human’s face, though.  He wanted to see, to know how deeply his actions were felt.
