				Outside, the moon cast pale daggers of light upon the countryside. The night air was quietl, as if holding it's breath in anticipation. A small pack of wolves howled in the distance, hunting in the night.<br><br>The door to the tavern opened slowly, and the man slinked in. He removed his heavy cloak and cowl, hanging them by the door, then proceeded to a corner of the lightly populated tavern untouched by the lights, keeping his face down and avoiding looking at the rest of the patrons. Seated, he glanced around the room, studying all that moved. When his eyes met the singer on the stage, his voice caught in his throat for a moment, caught off guard. Those near him edged a few inches further, which suited him well. He was a loner, even before what changed him.<br><br>His gaze continued to sweep the room for anything... interesting.

				It had been another long night, filled with too many drunken men and Marisa was looking forward to its end. She had been working every night for the past eight months at the Murky Ale Taproom, eking out her meager living. She was past her prime, with dark worried circles under her eyes, callused hands, and a sore back. <br><br>Brushing a strand of her short, dirty blonde hair from her eyes, she called across the bar to the ‘tender, &nbsp;“Another pitcher for the boys, Talvrid”. &nbsp;Taking a break while waiting for the pitcher, she straightened out the wrinkles in her well-worn, grease-stained dress. Talvrid slid the pitcher across the countertop, the ale sloshing over its edge spilling on her shoes. <br><br>She grabbed it and walked over to the four dockhands. She placed the pitcher in the center of the table, walking away quickly, only to have the closest one grab her arm. &nbsp;“Hey honey, how about you and me go out back for a bit?” &nbsp;Yanking her arm from his grasp, she turned, &nbsp;“Touch me again and I will have Talvrid throw you out, Henri” &nbsp;she chided, with a cold and tired voice.<br><br>She walked back to the bar, passing by other patrons making sure their needs were met. It was at this moment, the stranger walked into the tavern, the ambient noise disappeared immediately, the silence palpable. She looked over at the shadow of a man in the dark corner warily, not wanting to walk over and take his order. Gathering her courage, she strode over to him, &nbsp;“The meal of the day is mutton stew and a piece of hard bread. Will you be eating supper or just a drink sir?” <br>

				She was interesting, alright.<br><br>Not glancing in her direction, he gave his order, just a little louder than a mutter.<br><br>"Water. And a piece of meat, lightly cooked. Steak, chicken, mutton, doesn't matter."<br><br>He put a single coin on the table, worth far more than the meal, and adds, "And a room, too."

				Forcing a smile at the gentleman, Marisa says quietly, &nbsp;"I believe we have one room left, sir. It is up the stairs in the back, last door on your left." &nbsp;With that she slides the coin off the table, bites it, before hiding it in one of the many folds of her dress. Walking to the counter, she smiles inwardly at least he tips well.<br><br>&nbsp;"Any meat we can cook for the fine gentleman, Talvrid? His coin is good." &nbsp;She pushes it across the counter noticing the gleam in his eyes as she does so. Talvrid places a steak on the greasy grill above the flame, lightly salting and spicing each side, he sears it briefly on each side and hands it to her on a plate. <br><br>While waiting for the meat to cook, Marisa grab a mostly clean mug and ladled some water into it from the bucket of fresh water she had brought from the well earlier. Adding a hunk of stale bread and some stewed carrots to the plate, Marisa once again approaches the stranger, placing the food and water in front of him. <br><br>&nbsp;"Enjoy your meal sir, just give me a yell if there is anything else, the name's Marisa." &nbsp;

				As she turned to go, he grabbed her by the arm, and looked up in her face, locking his eyes on hers, unwavering. <br><br>They were strikingly blue, and resembled those of a voracious hunter; filled with hunger and... lust. Hard, cold, and feral, they drilled into her powerfully.<br><br>"Thank you." He gave her a half smile which did not touch his eyes, and turned to his meal. What had seemed like minutes had only been a couple of seconds, at most.

				As he grabbed her, she turned back quickly, glaring at the stranger with her grey eyes, &nbsp;"Let go...." , her voice trails off as she is caught in those eyes unable to move.<br><br>She feels drawn into them, yet she fears what she might find if she falls to deeply. Her own eyes reflecting her weary soul, fear, and a peasant's hope for better days.<br><br>The spell broken, she mumbles &nbsp;"You're welcome' &nbsp;before briskly walking away from the stranger.

				He begins to eat, keeping his gaze focused on her, and her alone, watching her, studying her, learning her every movement. Whenever she glances over at him, he locks his eyes on hers again.<br><br>He eats quickly, leaving the bread and vegetables untouched, drains the mug of water The predatory look does not leave him as he makes his way across the room tot he bar, and the unsettled bartender. "I'll take the key to my room, now. I will not wish to be disturbed."<br><br>He had plans for his room, and sleep was not one of them, yet.

				Picking up a damp cloth, she wrings it out and wearily walks over to the table the boys had just vacated. With practiced efficiency, she moves around the table picking up the empty mugs, plates and pitcher as swipes it down. Satisfied with her work, she looks up at the stranger, only to be lost in his dark eyes, the plate in her hand dropping to the floor, shattering loudly. Swearing under her breath, she looks away quickly her face reddened,<br><br>She takes the dishes to the basin in back of the bar, to be washed later, grabbing the broom she returns to the table, sweeping the broken plate pieces into a pile. Again she feels his eyes on her, truthfully she knew he was watching her every move it was unnerving and set her on edge. Finished with the plate, she looks up into his eyes, her heart filled with fear and dread, she smiles pleasantly, before returning to the bar. <br><br><em> Why did this man unnerve, she was used to be an object of affection in this tavern. The night was a rare one that she was not teased, slapped or grabbed. </em> Shaking her head, she looked up, startled that the stranger had moved to the bar asking for his key. She watches as Talvrid slides the stranger his key before quickly returning to mug he had just cleaned. &nbsp;"Will you need water for a bath, sir?" &nbsp;she asks reluctantly from her perch on the barstool.&nbsp;

				He smiles lightly, that of a man concocting a plan as she speaks. "Yes. I think that would be good." <br><br>He places another coin on the counter. "I would be most pleased if you delivered it personally, m'lady."<br><br>He begins heading towards the stairs, a cold chuckle escaping his lips.

				Inwardly her thoughts reveal her sarcastic nature, <em> of course he wants a bath, why did I open my big mouth. </em> Betraying none of her inner thoughts, she returns his smile answering, &nbsp;"I will be up shortly with the hot water, knocking once before entering your room." <br><br>Taking the coin from the table, she opens a small door in the back of the bar, entering the dark hallway to her room. There she places the coin in her purse, hidden behind a wooden panel underneath her meager bedroll. She takes a moment to smooth out her dress, run her fingers through her hair before stepping back into the hallway.<br><br>Retrieving the pail of hot water from the fireplace in the kitchen, Marisa climbs the servant’s stairs in back, careful not to spill. She reaches the dark stranger's door, knocks once and enters.

				The man is waiting for her. "Please, enter."<br><br>The room is dark, lit only by a single candle on the nightstand. Not even the moonlight penetrates the curtains, which he appears to have covered with a second layer of cloth. His small bag lies open on the bed, his neatly folded clothes visible inside.<br><br>"Do you need help with that?" he asks, advancing closer to her.

				Noting the odd window coverings, Marissa lugs the pail into the room, shying away from the stranger. &nbsp;"No sir, your help is not needed." &nbsp;she says quietly not willing to meet his stare. <br><br>Dumping the water into the large tub of luke warm water, she places a callused finger into the water and determines that it is satisfactorily warm. &nbsp;"There is soap and a sponge on the shelf by the tub, sir &nbsp;she says turning to leave, only to realize her path was blocked by the stranger.

				"In such a hurry to leave already?" He takes a confident step towards her, still standing between her and the door, closing it behind him.<br><br>"There's no need to fear me. I won't hurt you." His eyes read differently, a wolf's eyes in a human body; hungry, calculating, feral.

				The feral look in his eyes was not lost on her, and despite his words to calm her, she did not believe him. <br><br>&nbsp;“If you take one more step towards me, I will scream.” &nbsp;she says taking several nervous steps backwards until she bumps up against the tub.

				Her hand falling from the door, she turns, her eyes roaming up and down his body before once again settling on those dark eerie eyes. She shuffles over to the bed, taking a seat on the edge of it, her hands nervously folded on her lap. <br><br>&nbsp;"Not much to tell sir, I am a peasant woman he makes her living scrubbing tables and serving food to strangers," &nbsp;she mumbles, not too sure what he wants to hear.<br><br>Looking down at her hands, she shyly looks up &nbsp;"wha..what..is your name, sir?" &nbsp;she manages to stutter blushing considerably.

				Although it's hard to see much of him beyond his face, what little she can see under his cloak shows that he is more than just an average farmer. He is tall and lithe, and moves with the grace of a stalking cat...<br><br>"Damion. I'm a... merchant." He cocks his head, slightly. "Are you nervous? There's no need to be." Although he remains sitting, he seems to loom closer to her, edging in on her space.

				Pushing away from him, she pulls up her legs, wrapping her arms around them as she leans against the old worn foot board. Fear reaches her grey eyes, his predatory nature putting terror in her heart.<br><br>Her eyes dart to the door and for instance he is unsure if she is going to bolt for it. Visibly shaking, she wraps her arms tighter, looking up into those eyes, she manages, &nbsp;"Yes, you are making me a bit nervous," &nbsp;her voice weak and quavering. <br><br>She knew he had wealth, had seen his coin, perhaps he might be her way out of this meager existence, if only she could fight the fear that welled inside of her.

				He leans back a little, seeing that he might be close to driving her off, but still keeps his unwavering attention focused on her.<br><br>"I'm in this region looking for new markets, and new potential..." he smirks at her, his eyes losing some of their edge. "Raw resources, new demands, hints of war... things that drive the economy forward."<br><br>Damion leans forward again, less threateningly. "I keep few ties to any one place, just a few small homes here and there in the larger cities. I like to be able to keep moving, you understand. The freedom of the road, the exciting sights and smells of the world"<br><br>"Interested?"

				Eyes wide at the mention of not just one home, but homes; Marissa is speechless at the offer. Her first instinct was to say “of course, when do we leave?”<br><br>Instead she was cautious, his predatory nature still worrisome. &nbsp;“Why choose me? A man with your wealth could choose anyone.” &nbsp;Though her words are stern, she relaxes a little loosing her grip on her legs. She watches his every move, dreaming of what she could do with all that wealth.

As she falls, her arms flailing, she reaches out and catches something soft, she grabs on, praying it will be enough to catch her balance. <br><br>Finally, her handhold strong and stable, she is able to regain her footing, only then does she realize it is Damion.

"Don't worry yourself about that... you'll discover soon enough."<br><br>His hands run down her sides, caressing her through the coarse material of her shift, and along her thighs, while he kissies carresingly down the V of her neck, running his tongue along her skin. Nudging aside the rough cloth, he kisses the curve of her breast, moving delicately and carefully. His hands slide under her shift and begin to lift it, too, over her head.

				She knew she should resist, she hardly knew him, but his promise of escape was to alluring. Though dark and mysterious, what she had seen of him was attractive. Pulling at his dark linen shirt, she stretches it over his head, breaking his carefully placed kisses momentarily. His white, marble colored skin is amazing, unmarred, and soft. <br><br>She pulls her shift off in one smooth motion, pressing her breasts against his cool chest, she kisses along his neck, up his jaw line to the corner of his mouth, where she playfully licks and nibbles.

				He pushes her back onto the bed, and climbs on top of her, never breaking the kiss. He savors the moment, drawing her close to him, his hands seemingly covering every inch of her body at once, the muscles of his small frame moving fluidly. He breathes deep, relishing in her smells; the smells of fresh food, of sweat and hard work, of warmth, of womanness, of life.

				Moaning softly as he kisses her softly, her hands room to the front of the pants, she rubs along it, feeling the hardness that is contained within. The touch of his cool skin against her sends shivers from her head to her feet; she embraces him tighter, wanting to feel him all over her body. She kisses him deeply, parting her lips for the first time to allow his tongue to explore.

				He smiles wickedly,"Not so fast, m'lady.... the thrill of the hunt is in the chase, you know."<br><br>Slowly, painstakingly, he begins to cover every inch of her body with his kisses, starting at her neck, caressing each breast in a spiral, before reaching the nipple, spending a few moments there, before continuing to the other side. He proceeds down, running his tongue across her belly, while one hand works slowly, teasingly between her legs. Rather than diving straight in, however, he continues to kiss down her body, along her thighs, down one leg, then back up, down the other, and back up once more.<br><br>"Enjoying yourself?", he asks, rhetorically, as he lowers his lips to her wet womanhood.

She moans softly, coos as his tongue finds her tender nipples, as it traverses her belly she cries out, laughing as he discovers her navel is ticklish.

				He complies, eagerly. His tongue lashes out, at first gentle, savoring the taste of her, then faster, and faster still. His hands grab her thighs, pushing them wide, and letting him lean in deeper. He gives her a long, slow stroke, followed by a few quick flicks, ending with a teasing touch on her clit. Carefully, he traces letters and simple pictures with his tongue, occasionally humming, while stroking her legs. <br><br>He looks up at her, his tongue dripping with her sweet nectar, asking, "Had enough yet, or do you wish for the chase to continue?"

Perhaps when I am not so weary, we could have more...fun." &nbsp;she whispered softly by his ear, her arms wrapping around him.

Without waiting for a reply, "No, you aren't the first, although there have only been a few. Normally, I'd travel in a caravan, with other merchants, but none travel by night as I must. The few I have brought with me were mostly through deception; I didn't reveal my true nature until after we had begun the journey. They always left me as soon as they discovered, or shortly thereafter." He sighs, sadly. <br><br>"There was one, however, who trusted me, after I revealed myself..." He snorts, cynically. "Just long enough to make off with my coin purse." He shakes his head. "Don't get me wrong; I wouldn't travel with me, either. But I've learned to take fewer chances, fewer risks. At the least, I've learned from my mistakes."

She allows him to take the soap graciously, playfully pointing out places he missed.

She raises an eyebrow as she find her clothing piled up in a corner, as if they were thrown off her the night before.

Her first stop is the blacksmith, there she picks up dagger and a sheath, plain in design, but weighted perfectly for her. Her next stop is the general store; there she picks up several large goose quills for Damion, some more food supplies, a blanket, a larger pack, trading her old ones for the new larger one. Her next stop is the leatherworker, there she picks out a belt, some knee high hard soled, soft black leather boots, they are a little extra, but they caught her fancy. Her final stop of the evening, several hours later is to the clothier, there she picks out two pairs of pants, a couple undergarments, two linen shirts, all functional. Her final purchase is a wool cloak; she spends extra time looking for just the right one, long, dark emerald green in color, and long. <br><br>Taking all of her purchases, with coin left over she heads back to the Inn, wondering what Damion has been doing in her absence.

				Damion had done very little. Since all but one of his quills was broken, he began to write more notes on his buisness, only to lose that quill within the first page. With little else to do, he ran through a quick maitnence on his supplies; repairing any holes or potential holes in his bag and clothing, folding, sorting, and repacking his posessions, and just generally cleaning the room. Finished, with a few hours still before dusk and no sign of Marisa, he took a cat nap, curled up in the warmth of the blankets, dreaming of her.

To all outward appearances, it is a simple tavern, but as Damion enters the brothel, he smirks up at the carving of a succubus near the doorframe, the sultry demoness revealing the true nature of the establishment.<br><br>Once inside, he is greeted by a large woman dressed in richly coloerd silks. "Welcome, welcome! What is it you seek tonight, sir?" Damion replies, "I'd like to at least meet a few of your young ladies, first." "Ahhh, a wise and cautious man, hmm? Well, come right this way, and Ellen will show you to where you may meet the girls."<br><br>Ellen, a young, although not-quite-innocent looking girl, leads him through the perfume scented building to a small lounge where four women are waiting.

They haggle over the price for a moment, more for show than anything else, both knowing what the other expects, before he leads the young whore to the room he has rented.

She took an empty booth in the corner, pulled out a notebook and pencil she had bought that day. She ordered an ale and sat back and drew people, whoever struck her fancy.

				Although his actions are akin to what he's done with Marisa, his heart is not in it tonight. He seems to shower the young woman with affection, yet he is just going through the motions. They fuck for a couple of hours, until she is exhausted to the point of nearly passing out. He holds her until she falls asleep, then feeds and departs. It's unlikely she'll even notice, or if she does, if she'll connect it to him. He thanks the mistress on his way out, and returns to the inky blackness of the night, heading towards the warm embrace of his companion.

				"Bitch, I was gonna be nice to you, but now you've pissed me off!" The brute lunges forward, batting at her armed arm hard.<br><br>"Torvek, you weren't supposed to attack yet, you fucker!"<br><br>"Just kill him and get the girl, we'll sort it through later!" <br><br>The taller bandit lashes at Damion with his sword. Damion reacts quickly, throwing the coin purse at the second's face, then turning to face his attacker. He pays with a light hit to the shoulder, but grabs hold of the man's arm, twisting it until he lets go of his sword. A boot to the chest causes him to double over, and Damion's other arm comes down hard on the back of his neck with a sickening crack. He slumps forward, unconcious or dead. Damion howls as the shorter bandit's blade pierces his skin, and he turns to face him, still unarmed.

				As the brute bats her arm, she is unable to hold onto the blade and it goes skittering off into the bushes, as she stares at him wide-eyed. He comes at her, easily grabbing her in a bear hug, she tries to fight him off, throwing her bag at him, but it just glances off his shoulder.<br><br>”Now I have you, girlie.” <br><br>He licks her cheek, his breath smelling of cheap alcohol, and she yells, &nbsp;“Damion, help me.”

				But Damion's having problems of his own. He dives for the fallen bandit's sword, retreiving it at the cost of a slice on his arm. The two clash swords for a dew quick blows, before Damion gets an opening and manages to score a hit, although it's msotly deflected by the armor.<br><br>"Ow, goddammit.... you're good. Take this!" The bandit lunges, but Damion sidesteps, then hits him hard in the face with the pommel of his sword. The bandit falls, knocked cold, and he turns to face the brute.<br><br>"Take one step closer, and I'll slit her throat!" he bellows, a dagger at her neck.<br><br>Damion takes two slow, careful steps forward. "You don't have it in you, you slimy, gutless coward. You know that if you kill her, I'll kill you. And you can't even hurt me. See?" he asks, holding up his arm, which, despite the wounds, isn't bleeding. "I'm more than just an ordinary man, fool. I..." he continues to step closer, as the brute backs away, flashing his teeth and fangs, "... am a lord of the night."

				Quaking in the brutes arms, she watches as Damion quickly dispatches the second of the thieves he faced. Silently she cheers, though her own situation is dire as she feels the edge of the blade along her neck.

"St-stay back! Stay BACK!"<br><br>Mimicking the tone of the now dead bandit, Damion taunts him. "Who do you think you're going to hurt with that toy?" Damion thrusts with his sword, which is feebly blocked. The bandit drops his dagger and turns to flee, but Damion is faster. He leaps onto the man's back, dragging them both to the ground. They struggle, but, despite his size, Damion is stronger and pins the man in moments, plunging his fangs into the screaming man's neck. He struggles with all his might, but soon wearies, and seems to fall into a deep sleep, as Damion withdraws.

				Damion appears a bit taken aback by her brutality, but nods. He deserved it. He quickly surveys the battlefield, to ensure noone else may be hiding in the trees, then says to her "I think I killed the first one, but the second is just out cold." He grabs her arm to stay her blade. "But don't kill him, yet. We might need him." As he says this, the unconcious bandit groans and stirs.

				Kicking away the weapon, she creates a loop with the rope, placing it over the thief's head and under each of his arms, tightening it in a sort of leash, she then rolls him over, placing each in hand in the cuffs behind his back, clasping them shut. Only then does she search his person, she is none-to-gentle, searching everywhere, down each pant leg, in the boot, along the inner thigh, pulling a couple of knives out she throws them aside. Rolling him back over, she searches through his jacket, finding a small coin purse, some knick knacks, and a whole lot of lint.<br><br>&nbsp;"This one is ready." <br><br>She steps back and waits for him to inspect her handiwork.

Her cap has fallen off, revealing shortcut reddish-brown hair and a fairly pretty face beneath her mask.<br><br>Damion quickly determines that the first is, indeed, dead from his blow. Going through them with practiced ease, he&nbsp; finds a good pile of coins and some simple jewelry they had taken from earlier marks.

She looked to Damion, at his smirk, he already had a plan and she knew it, but he was waiting for Marisa to come to the same conclusion.<br><br>&nbsp;"For now, Annah, you will travel with us, tomorrow night the three of us will enter the next town, depending on how much you show we can trust you, you may continue to travel with us. Give us any trouble though and we will turn you over to the authorities." <br><br>Marisa yawns, looks over at the cave entrance and sees the sun has risen, today will be a dangerous day as they both need sleep and now have an extra person with them, one that could cause serious damage if she knew Damion's secret.

				Damion nods in agreement with her decision, and moves over to whisper in her ear. Annah appears quite surprised at this rather significant turn of fortune, and thanks them both profusely.<br><br>"The sun will be up for about 12 hours, yes? So, we should take four hour shifts... I will take two, since I don't need as much sleep. No arguments." He turns to Annah, and announces "We will sleep for today, and be prepared to depart when the sun sets. One of the two of us will keep watch out here. I will keep the first." <br><br>Annah leaves to the sleeping room first, and Damion grabs Marisa's attention. "Leave your weapons here, just in case. If I hear any problems, I'll come, and if you fear anything, do not hesitate to call. She may act tame, but keep wary."

She stands just a few steps from her vampire lover, and removes both the boot knife and her own knife, placing them with her pack. She also removes her boots and cloak, laying them on top of the pack.<br><br>"I swear, this is the last cave we are staying in, love." she comments as embraces him before sliding off to the back room, with a warm blanket in hand.<br><br>The sleeping room has a rough wool blanket, which she picks up and throws in a corner, &nbsp;"Tonight, my dear Annah, we sleep in comfort," &nbsp;she unfurls the large soft wool blanket, laying it out on top of bedding.

He doubts anything will happen, unless Annah starts it.<br><br>Annah, on the other hand, isn't entirely certain what to do. This wil be the first night in a long time she hasn't slept with her love, <em>because he's dead,</em> she thinks, bitterly. It will also be the first time she's shared a bed with another woman since she was a child. Older, and far less naive, she has no idea how to approach this. She doesn't want to sleep alone, not now, yet she doesn't want to insult the people who hold her life in their hands. "I, uhh.. thank you, ma'am... there are some pillows, over there.

				Damion sits in the main room of the cave, whittling away at a piece of wood. Right now, it's impossible to determine what this carving will become, save that it looks like some sort of four-legged creature. After what he estimates to be four hours, he silently goes to wake Marisa. Seeing her holding Annah, though, he decides that it would be best not to wake them both, and takes a second shift as well, figuring it'll be alright to wake her after eight hours, allowing him a quick nap before they leave.<br><br>He settles back into his spot, musing quietly, as he continues his whittling.

				"Damion prefers to travel at night, mostly to avoid other travelers."<br><br>She walks quickly, astounded at how easily the brisk walk has become in just a short while. Turning to Annah, she lowers her voice, hours had passed since she had kissed the girl and yet she could not shake it from her mind, "I hope you did not mind the kiss, it was impulsive, but I did enjoy it."

				"But why is sunrise so important?" Annah scowls and falls into brooding, only to be pulled out quickly by Marisa's question. "Uhh, well, I.... yeah, I think," she responds, blushing profusely, her mind sudden;y off of Damion's strange habits. "But-but.... you don't <em>like</em> me like... that, do you?"

				Ahead of the party, Damion is, indeed, smirking. While he can't make out everything they're saying, he can catch the gist of it from what he's seen and heard. He has no direct interest in Annah, except as a companion for Marisa, and potentially as someone to feed on if needed. He remains quiet, wondering if they'll work things out on their own.<br><br>Annah, in turn, blushes even brighter, her face a deeper color of red than her hair. "I... but.... how does it <em>work</em>?" she asks, continuing to blush horribly. "I mean, yes, I like you, too... I'm just confused."

				Stopping, knowing that Damion can hear her well enough to slow down for them, she takes Annah's hand and turns the young tomboy towards her. Softly, she raises a hand, brushing it along those hot rosy cheeks, "We will figure it out together; you know when you blush like that you are awfully cute." Aware that her comment will most likely result in more blushing from the girl, Marisa leans in and chastely kisses her on the lips.

He relocks her hands in front, then slips across the room and appears to hide the key in several different places. <br><br>"Now, then... shall we begin? he asks, rhetorically, as his lips are already following her carefully given instructions to the letter, starting slow, covering her body with his hands, stringing kisses down along her face and chest, teasing, sucking, playing with her nipples, hoping for more detailed directions.

She returns his kiss heatedly, hoping that indeed she get away with her deception.<br><br>She does indeed give the vampire more instructions, quite detailed in fact, ”She kissed her way down my body, around my navel, sticking her tongue inside, before teasing the outer lips of my mound. From there, she was tentative, her tongue darting in once, but as she lost her abandoned, her tongue explored more, discovering my clit, the whole of my sex, her fingers slipping inside as she sucked my clit, nibbling and sucking on it.”

				Damion smiles as he continues to follow her directions, adding his own flair and expertise to it, altering speed and intensity subtly at certain points, slipping in a quick kiss or swipe of the tongue unexpectedly, as he works his way slowly down her belly to her womanhood, teasing, playing, sucking, nibbling and licking, stroking gently with his fingers, marvelling in the smells and tastes.

				Annah replies first. "With nowhere else to really go, 'course I'd wanna stay with ya. If you'll have me, that is. And what is your big secret, Damion?" <em>Finally... how bad can it be?</em><br><br>Damion remains quiet, watching to see if anyone may be listening, considering how to say it, then calmly leans forward and gives Annah a grin, revealing his fangs. "I am a vampire."<br><br>She lets out a quick yelp, and tries to leap backwards. Still sitting, however, she merely throws herself out of her chair, knocking over her glass. One arm begins grabbing at whatever's close, which happens to be Marisa, while the other instinctively clutches at her neck. Unless Marisa can manage to hold her up, she goes crashing to the floor.

				Ignoring the wine glass, Marisa instinctively grabbed the tomboy, pulling her into arms, embracing her &nbsp;"It is all right, my dear." she whispered softly into her ear. She glares at the vampire, obviously irate at how he chose to reveal his true nature and is not surprised when he flashes her a winning smile. &nbsp;"Could you have been less cordial, Damion?" <br><br>A maid immediately appeared head down and wiped the wine from the table and floor, removing the shards of glass from the ruined goblet.

				Annah, visibly shaken, hugs her lover close. "Wh-wh-wh-wh--how? Who... what are you? Is he going to hurt me?"<br><br>"No, Annah, it is not my intent to harm you. Have no fear of that. And how else am I supposed to say it, mm? Most of the time, people discover when I'm lunging for their throats." At this, Annah lets out a short squeal of fear and buries her face in Marisa's shoulder. Damion sighs, annoyed at himself for that. "What I mean is, I rarely have a situation such as this wherein I reveal myself. It's a sign of great trust in you, as you are now my dear Marisa's companion."

"No, no... it's a curse, not a gift, Annah. I am neither living nor dead, and draw most of my food from my victims. I haven't aged a day in thirty years, and I am harmed by sunlight.

I have a number of reports to create, as well as a need to do maintenance and rehire some merchants. Concerning the money, however, you needn't concern yourself too much. While I may not be as rich as a king, I have lived a long and fairly prosperous life, while spending little. I imagine my stipends have accumulated greatly since I was there, last, and there are probably a great number of luxuries in storage we could obtain. And, no, as I said, there is little furniture.

				The city of Markenburg, capital of the region, loomed before them. The guards at the gate, surprised at having travelers this late at night, delay them for a short time, though Damion manages to dance his way through the verbal battle with ease, and they are allowed in.<br><br>Though it is dark, it is still an impressive city. A few drunks and other ruffians wander the streets, which are dimly lit by lanterns set a fair distance apart, but overall, they are wide and clean. Following a mostly direct route, with only a few wrong turns, they eventually arrive at Damion's home, a two-story building on the outskirts of the market district, nestled between two other buildings, No windows can be seen on the front of the house, though most buildings are built as such. Damion swiftly unlocks the door, a simple heavy wooden one, and leads the women inside to a small cloak room. This room is designed to prevent any light from the front door from entering the rest of the house, with a carefully positioned door to the next room, which is the main living room. A small table, a fireplace, and several chairs dominate it, and it leads off into two others in the house, as well as upstairs.<br><br>The first room off of the living room is a simply elegant dining room. A large polished wooden table and six chairs dominate the room, with a set of silverware, plates, and glasses at each of the six seats. A large silver candelabra rests on the center of the table, and a very simple glass chandelier hangs overhead. This is, by far, the most well furnished room of the house.<br><br>Off of the dining room is the kitchen and pantry, both stocked with only the essentials. The pantry is nearly empty, consisting of little more than dried meats and vegetables.<br><br>A short hallway connects off of the living room to two small rooms; a study, with a fairly large bookshelf sparsely filled with books, a comfortable writing desk and chair, and a small fireplace with a reading chair. The other room is a servant's bedroom, current;y filled with odds and ends of old furniture and knick-knacks.<br><br>Upstairs, there are only two rooms; the master bedroom and a bathroom. The bedroom, like most of the house, emphasizes function over form, and holds little but a large bed for two, a wardrobe, a full-body mirror, and three large storage trunks. The bathroom has a large bathing tub, a sink, and a toilet. While the house is lit by candles and lamps, there is running water to both the kitchen and bathroom, though it is only cold and must be pumped manually. The sink and toilet connect to a sewer under the city.<br><br>"I know it isn't much, nor as grand as you might expect, but it is my home, here."<br><br>Annah says little throughout their tour, except to marvel at the place. It's larger than anywhere she's lived, and certainly grander.

				Marisa walked around the house, tired from the lack of sleep the day before as well as the strenuous activity in the early evening. She made notes of what would be needed for each of the rooms, especially the master suite. She was hoping that eventually the three of them could share it, even share the rather large bed, with her in the middle if they still felt uncomfortable together. She would not suggest it yet to their young tomboy, but it would make her life a lot easier. <br><br>She slid up behind Annah, holding her from behind, whispering softly in her ear, &nbsp;“Pretty grand, isn’t it, my love? Think you could live here with us?” &nbsp;She held her there, waiting until she answered until moving back to the ‘storage’ room.<br><br>&nbsp;“What is in all these boxes, my dear?” &nbsp;she called out, hoping that it would not be too hard to move all the furniture and items.

Mostly knick-knacks, odds and ends... things I've collected in my journeys, or things that didn't sell as well as I'd hoped. Most are useless, decorations or failed ideas. They shouldn't be too hard to remove; it's the furniture that might pose problems, though I think we might be able to make use of some of it. I think there's a bed in there, at least."

I would like to discuss sleeping arrangements with Annah; perhaps we could arrange it so the three of us slept in one bed." &nbsp;The statement was bold, but Marisa was a practical woman and did not like the idea of splitting her time between her two lovers. <br><br>She stepped back from him, allowing him to mull over the question, hoping he would allow her to broach the subject with Annah, alone.

"I've been waiting a while for this," he says, as his kisses begin trailing across her neck and shoulders.

				Carefully, he leans in close, almost as if he were going in for a kiss, then opens his mouth wide, and sinks his two fangs into her neck and starts feeding. He shudders slightly as the first taste of blood hits his mouth, and continues to feed hungrily. The effect, although hard to see in the dimly lit room, is immediately apparent. His skin grows drastically more flushed, and warmth floods through his body. Although it seems to last several minutes, it is over far too swiftly, and Damion ends the embrace by pulling away gently, licking the wounds once, then giving her a quick kiss on the lips.

				Annah hugs Marisa close, crying softly in her arms. So much has happened so quickly, going from living as a bandit in a cave, to living in a house in the city. Overwhelmed and confused, she simply cries, comforted by her lover's soft arms.

				Marisa wrapped her arms around the young tomboy until she fell asleep in the older woman’s arms, just holding her, comforting her. She pulled the covers over them, falling asleep soon after Annah, content with her life, happy to have met the vampire and the thief.

				The hours pass peacefully, as the sun makes it's slow and inexorable journey across the sky. Outside, the world stirs to life, as people pass down the street, on their way to work or to shop. Damion wakes first, in the early afternoon, and continues to clean and organize for a little while, before preparing a small meal for the three of them; a stew thrown together with bits of dried meats and vegetables.

				Marisa stirred to the smell of stew, ahh so the man did cook; she kissed the young tomboy on her cheek and slid out of bed. They were not the same size, but it was close so Marisa left out a pair of breeches and a linen shirt for the girl, taking the rags with her downstairs to be burned. She dressed in her own clothes and padded down stairs, barefoot. <br><br>&nbsp;“Good evening, Damion” &nbsp;she said, kissing the vampire as she approached him in the kitchen, the clothes already burning in the fire.

The attached office and warehouse are simple and functional. Not particularly larger than anywhere else, they are still fairly good sized. He unlocks the front door, and leads them both inside.<br><br>The inside of the office is reasonably comfortable. A few desks, some orderly, some not, take up most of the space in the room, and are covered with papers detailing financial reports and accounting and such things. Two doors in the back lead to the office of the manager Damion has hired to keep the place running, and back to the warehouse where everything is stored. The latter door is ajar, and light seems to be coming from this back room.<br><br>"Noone should be here at this hour. I don't like the looks of this, something here is wrong." He crosses the room to a small bookshelf, and retrieves a small box. He opens it, and pulls out a hand crossbow. Taking it and a dagger he pulls from his boot, he ands the latter to the tomboy, and the former to Marisa. "Do you know how to use this? Just point it and pull the trigger. It's only one shot, so make it count. I want both of you to stay here and stay hidden. Do not attempt to help me, even if something bad happens. Only use those to defend yourselves, understand?"<br><br>Annah looks at him, instinctively sensing his fear. "W-what is it?

"Damion! My old friend, back at last! I'd heard you'd just returned to town, and decided to invite a few friends to throw a little party for you!"<br><br>"Ravael. It's been a while, hasn't it? Didn't I dismiss you for stealing when I was here, last?"<br><br>"That you did, that you did! Unfortunate mess that was, wasn't it? Just a simple misunderstanding. In fact, it's such a bad misunderstanding that I think the only fair thing would be for you to pass over control of this company to me, don't you agree?"<br><br>"I thought we could end this amicably, Ravael. I thought that if I spared you, you would simply leave. Now I see I was wrong, I should have reported you to the guards. An unfortunate mistake."<br><br>"Aye, an unfortunate mistake, indeed, Damion. Aren't you curious what this party is?"<br><br>"And just what party is this?"<br><br>"Your funeral."<br><br>The shadow of Damion staggers as several crossbow bolts sink into it's torso, then collapses to the floor.

				The conversation was muffled and it was hard to understand all the words, but Marisa got the gist of it, she heard the twangs of the bolts being let loose, heard them hit something meaty, knew that Damion had been hurt. <br><br>She stifled her own cry, hoping to remain hidden, but was unable to stop Annah’s, there was no doubt they had been heard. &nbsp;“Are you any good at throwing daggers? If so we should concentrate on Ravael, the others might run if we take out their leader.” <br><br>She crouched behind the desk, placing her hand on it to steady her aim and let loose with the one bolt, it hit her mark perhaps a little askew, into Ravael’s chest. She was certain that Damion was still alive, though how badly injured was another matter, she had disobeyed him, but what else could she do once they had been discovered.

He searches quickly, figuring noone would be hiding here, and is about to leave, when he catches sight of Anna's foot under the table.<br><br>Well, well, well, what do we have here? A little rat in hiding, hmm?" He lunges down to grab her leg and pull her out. Annah yelps, and stabs him in the arm for his trouble. "You bitch, I'm gonna make you pay!" He roars, as he throws the desk aside.

				Marisa flew from underneath the desk, not thinking as she tackled the man that could be her lover’s killer. She tackled him, slicing her arm against his sword, but not caring, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled, hoping her weight would kill him and save them.<br><br>By luck, she was able to cut of his roar, hopefully preventing the others searching for them. &nbsp;“Stab him again, Annah,” &nbsp;she whispered to the tomboy.

				His cry is cut short, but not enough to avoid detection by the rest of the thugs, especially with the crash of the two of them hitting the floor. Annah does so, stabbing him several time to ensure he's down. A moment later, the second thug passes by the door to the office, caught off guard b the scene before him. Annah wastes no time, this time, and lunges at him from a crouched position, tackling him to the ground and stabbing him several times.

She was ready in case another thug entered through the door; she looked at Annah, nodding to her.

				Marisa heard the commotion, the cry from the thug, realized that he had taken a tumble and strode quickly from her hiding spot. Without thinking, she ran the edge of her blade across his neck, the blood spilling from him will eventually kill him, there is a fierceness in her eyes as the adrenaline rush allowed her to drag the body back to Damion.

				Marisa relented, wiping the short sword on Ravael’s pants before sliding it back in a sheath she found on the thug that originally attacked them. Ever since she had been around Damion, there had been trouble, bandits, wolves and now this, betrayal. She would need to learn how to use weapons if she was to stay alive long enough to matter. <br><br>She was still wound up from the event and only now that she had had a moment did the realization that she had killed two men come to her.

He works his way to the manager's office, unlocks the door, and enters. He emerges a few moments later with a fairly large bag of coins, nearly as much as the inn Marisa worked in would have made in a year, and a handwritten note. He takes a dagger and affixes the note to the front door with it. It reads:<br><br>"<em>Sorry about the mess. You might consider closing shop for today. Visit me some time this evening. --Damion</em>"<br><br>"Are we ready to leave, yet?"

				Annah smiles and snuggles a little closer, drifting off herself. Damion returns a few minutes later with a long, wide piece of cloth to tie into a sling. Seeing the women already asleep, he climbs into bed on the other side, trying not to disturb either of them, and drifts into a weary sleep.

				Grumbling during the day, Marisa tossed and turned, her arms flaying about and landing across the tomboy, at one point she shifted enough to land directly on her injury. She screamed and awoke immediately, the covers falling from her body. She turned to Annah, noticing she was awake, &nbsp;“I am sorry, did I wake you?” &nbsp;Her arm was throbbing, but her fever had broken, though she was covered in sweat.

A thorough cleaning, fresh, clean bandages, and some medicine to cure this mild infection, and you should be fine in a few days." He does so, carefully washing it in the sink, taking caution not to disturb the stitches, then rewraps it in a fresh bandage, giving her a sling to help hod it in place, and a bottle of thick, syrupy medicine.

A third, smaller bag is of fresh flour, and the final bag is mostly fresh beef, with some pork as well. "I did not know what the ladies were good with cooking, so I brought some of everything." Annah takes one bag from him, and they leave it all in the kitchen. "Also, Damion, I have not had much time to look over that report, what with the 'accident' and all, but it looks as if we might open a new route to the east, yes?"

				Annah beams with pride at Marisa, then sticks her tongue out at Damion. "I'd love to learn to cook more," she says, as she digs into her plate of food with relish. All of that cooking had made her hungry, and it really was good. She quickly realizes she's eating way too fast, and slows considerably, trying to act ladylike.

				Smiling at the young woman, the only reason she was not wolfing down the food was the sling on her arm. She ate as well as she could with her offhand, clearing her plate as there was very little conversation. She sat back when done and watched the others, sipping at her wine. <br><br>&nbsp;“We can start with the pork and then make a bread.”

				Damion finishes shortly after Marisa, and a while after Annah, who still ate quickly, despite her attempts at manners. "That was delicious... I look forward to many more meals like this." He grins... he's definitely come out ahead in this bargain, as far as he's concerned.<br><br>Annah finishes the last of her wine, pondering the taste. Definitely something she'd need to get used to, around here. No more cheap ale and rain water.<br><br>Damion scratches his chin, thinking for a moment, before asking, "Would you two be interested in learning a game? Or perhaps after you've finished your cooking for this evening?"

				Feeling helpless, she had always relied upon herself for everything and was usually the one that others turned to in need, Marisa realized she would be unable to help clear the dishes or do anything for that matter. She tried to keep the frustration from her face and her actions, but hoped that she would not have to wear the sling for long; oh how she longed for Damion’s quick healing powers. &nbsp;“I would definitely be interested in learning a game, but after we prepare the pork, we would not want it to spoil.” <br><br>She stood and waited for the two of them to clear and clean the dishes, before once again asking the vampire to leave the kitchen. She kissed him as he left and asked him to stoke up the fire, they had only been up for four hours, the night was young and they were trapped or at least she was stuck inside.<br><br>Alone again with the tomboy, Marisa asked, &nbsp;“Have you tried spicy food before, Annah? And if so, do you like it?” &nbsp;She had an idea for the pork, but wanted to make sure the tomboy could eat it before they made it.

				Laughing softly at the tomboy’s misstep, Marisa answered the question, &nbsp;“One of the spices I saw in the bag were dried chilies, I want you to take five of them and crush them in the mortar and pestle, add to them a heavy handful of salt, about twelve grinds of pepper, and a small handful of brown sugar. Once the spices are mixed together thoroughly, I want you to rub them all over the meat, make sure and get every bit of it covered.” <br><br>Marisa sat back and watched as Annah eagerly did as she requested.

				Still scratching at her painful, burning nose, she gets some water form the sink, and starts washing her hands, resisting the urge to claw at her nose further. Her hands sufficiently clean, she cups her hands, filling them with water, and washes her face that way, making quite an interesting sound as she snorts the water in an attempt to wash out her nose.<br><br>"I think most of the powder's still in the bowl, we shouldn't have ta start over."she scowls angrily at the chili, then fetches the other ingredients, and finishes making the concoction without incident.

				&nbsp;“No dear, nothing else.” &nbsp;For certain, there would be other incidents in the kitchen, this was one of many. &nbsp;“Place the meat on a pan and then coat it with the spice mixture, making sure to cover both sides. Once that is done, cover it, we will be letting it sit for four hours or so and then cooking it over indirect heat for another four, most of the night. Once that is done, set it aside, wash your hands and do some cleaning, and then get out the cutting board, if he has a marble one that would be best.” <br><br>Marisa explains how to create a dough there is one mishap and a lot of flour to clean up, and a whole lot more giggling, but the two of them get it done, though they both have white streaks in their hair when they come out to learn the game from their vampire.

				Damion has set himself up in the living room, with a deck of cards. "What happened to you two? From the looks and sounds of it, I missed a battle with the bandits hiding in the flour." Annah giggles as she tries to brush more of the dust form her hair, and plops down onto a chair. "What's this game ye've got planned?"<br><br>"It's an old favorite of mine, called "Dance of the Three Dragons". It's probably simpler to just show you, than to try to explain, so.." He begins dealing the cards, having set aside the two of clubs, until each player has seventeen. He then starts to explain the rules with a few opening hands. It's very similar to Hearts, though all of the face cards can affect your score; spades and hearts, negatively, clubs and diamonds positively. Within a few hands, Annah seems to have picked up some of the nuances of it. "This is pretty fun... Ha! Win that hand, right?" she asks, beaming because she knows she's won.

				Marisa laughed and quipped, &nbsp;“wouldn’t you want to know?” &nbsp;as she sat down and attempted to learn as they played. She understood how to play but found it difficult to hold her hand, after a few games of it, she bowed out. &nbsp;“I like the game, my loves, but it is frustrating that I cannot hold the cards with my gimp arm, perhaps in a couple of days I can show you two who is really queen at the cards.” <br><br>She stood and walked over to the fire, sitting in the comfortable chair there and relaxing, she always loved the smell of burning wood.

				"Aye, I suppose it wasn't such a good idea to try to teach a card game, then... Since this game requires three players, perhaps we can continue with something else, Annah?" The tomboy cocks her head, slightly, fairly certain she saw a suggestive wink in his eye. Or is it just her imagination? "Uhh... sure, something else sounds interesting." Her thoughts begin drifting to <em>something</em>, certainly, and she blushes as he begins dealing out the cards again, explaining the rules for another, two-player game.

				The two of them begin to play for a while, a careful game of cunning and deception. Annah, however, is distracted and lost in her own thoughts, though she is still holding her own against the vampire. Near the end of the game, with her victory almost assured, Damion, without looking at her, comments offhandedly, "If you're interested in me, Annah dear, feel free to say it aloud. I'm certain noone here would be surprised." As she begins sputtering and stammering to search for a reply, he calmly plays a card. "Your move." Thoroughly distracted, she plays the wrong card, and a couple plays later, Damion wins.<br><br>"You're good at this game... but now that that is over, perhaps there's something you'd like to say?" Annah just stares at him, wanting to say something, but unable to make her voice work.

At it was, he said something just at the right time to take advantage of her confusion, he was a sly one. &nbsp;“Please Annah, just say it, neither one of us will be offended,” &nbsp;she encouraged.

"You've done nothing wrong... mind you that I seduce women regularly to stay alive, I have heard confessions from countless women over the years, though very few after learning my secret. That you even admitted it, knowing what I am, shows you to be a strong person." She looks up at him, surprised. "Y-you think I'm strong?" "Of course you're strong... you saved both myself and Marisa at the warehouse. We may not have survived, if it hadn't been for you." <br><br>She smiles, touched by the honest flattery, then leans in sharply, and kisses the vampire.

Annah smiles back at the vampire at once shy and mischievous; &nbsp;“so mister, now that you have me what are you going to do with me?” &nbsp;She slowly, tantalizingly pulls her shirt off, revealing her small, pert breasts; her nipples hardened as she is already aroused.<br><br>Meanwhile downstairs, Marisa struggles out of the chair and walks into the kitchen. There, she puts in the pork onto the grill she had Annah place over the cooking fire, making sure that it will only receive indirect heat; she wants it to smoke and not burn to a crisp. The bread had leavened to the appropriate size so she cuts it into to separate rolls, and adds cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and sugar to one to make a sweet bread, the other she adds a mixture of herbs to make a savory one. She places each into a pan and puts them into the oven; soon the house will begin to smell of fresh bread.

An awkward moment for Annah especially, until she remembered she love both of them, so why not.

				Damion smiles, honestly glad e won't have to deal with that situation again, gives her a quick, yet passionate kiss, then says, "I should go help Annah, or she may not speak with me for a week... though that may not be a bad thing," he adds with a grin.

				Several hours before sunset, Marissa awakened and crawled out of the bed, thankful she was not in the middle this night. She looked at her two lovers, peaceful in their sleep and padded off to the kitchen, her injury felt much better, the sleep and medicine having worked wonders. Probably by the time the three of them went to bed that morning she would be able to remove the sling and tomorrow she would be well enough to use the arm, the bandage still remaining in place of course.<br><br>In the kitchen, she started the oven, placing the breads inside once the coals were hot enough; she just wanted to warm them. She retrieved a griddle from the cabinet, surprised at the number of cooking supplies Damion did have, and began to work a mixture of cornmeal, flour, water and spices. Pouring small amounts on the griddle, she made tortillas that she would fill with pieces of pulled pork, cheese, and the fresh tomatoes Ezekiel had found for them. <br><br>She knew the smell of cooking would bring her lovers down the stairs and to the kitchen, one of them would set the table and find something for them to drink.

She began to build a fire, a task she had done hundreds of times as a barmaid, it did not take long before a roaring fire warmed the room. She stripped and lay naked on the rug before it, waiting none-to-patiently for her vampire.

				Damion hurriedly makes his way through the dishes, humming to himself as he does so. From the looks of it, a couple of them may need to be rewashed before use, but he did a good job, overall. Pulling out a couple of wine glasses and a small bottle of wine he'd hidden in one of the back cupboards, he opens it, savoring the smell of the well-aged wine, pours a glass for himself and his love, and heads out into the living room, handing a glass to her, then lying down on the rug next to her. "Cheers," he says, raising his glass to her.

				"Hey!" she said, pouting, as she sets her glass down. "Why can't I be more-- mmph!" She melts into the kiss, still a little annoyed. She can TOO be a lady, if she wants to be. But, right now, something else is on her mind. She wraps her arms around Marisa, pulling her down on top of her into the bed, wiggling under her, letting her take the lead.. for now.

				Sitting so that she straddled the young tomboy’s waist, Marisa looked down at her, &nbsp;“Did I offend the poor tomboy by laughing when she said she was trying to be more lady-like?” &nbsp;she asked teasingly, trailing a finger along the curve of her breast. Taking the glass from the night stand, she dripped some red wine over Annah’s chest, making sure there was plenty of the liquid on each of her nipples. Leaning over, she lapped at it, running her tongue along each breast, following the same pattern she had with her finger, slowly arriving at the nipple. Suckling at it slowly, she flicked it with her tongue before repeating the same motion with the woman’s second breast.

				Annah giggles, and does settle down, although she plays roughest of the three of them. Damion manages to get behind her, giving her a deep shoulder massage, while she kisses and plays with Marisa. She melts like putty in his hands, giving Marisa plenty of opportunity to play with Annah as she pleases, encouraged by a wink from Damion over her shoulder.

				As the vampire relaxed the tomboy, Marisa took full advantage of her, kissing her deeply and passionately, staring into her eyes with lust and desire before suddenly breaking the kiss. A soft caress of the breast hinted to Annah where the barmaid would next be heading as she kissed her neck, shoulders, licking along the sun-kissed skin as she nibbled her way down to the breasts. Oh so gently she took each one into her hand and sucked upon it, swirling around the nipple with her tongue, grazing them with her teeth, she spent long moments lavishing them.

				Annah alternately moans and squeals as Marisa and Damion work their magic on her. She doesn't put up any resistance, just relaxes her entire body, flowing along with their movements, allowing herself to be lost in the moment. She closes her eyes and leans back against Damion, pushing herself into his lap, rubbing against him, as she uses one hand to toy with Marisa's breasts as well, rubbing and squeezing and gently flicking and twisting her nipple.

				Squeaking when Annah’s fingers found her nipples, Marisa whispered ever so softly under her voice, so quiet no one could hear her except for those that had exceptional hearing, say a vampire, &nbsp;“Enter her from behind, my love, I will give her clit pleasure.” &nbsp;Just after the whisper, she sucked at a nipple pulling it gently from the young redhead’s body as her fingers pressed against the woman’s clit.

She gasps is sudden surprise, then coos happily as she starts grinding herself against him. His hands move forward, to play with her breasts, while his kisses cover the back of her neck and shoulders.

Instead, he focuses on his hands and tongue, using the former on Marisa, his hands laying across the back of her neck, her breasts, across her belly, and back around her backside, while the latter continues back along her shoulders, neck, and face.

				With the vampire off of her, Marisa climbs her tomboy’s body her mouth never leaving the woman’s body as she kissed, licked and nipped her way until their lips met. Staring into the woman’s eyes, she kissed her deeply, laying on top her, their breasts pressed together. Breaking the kiss, she whispered against those lips, &nbsp;“I love you, the both of you.”

				Damion rolls onto his side, smiling, stroking their legs, feeling quite content. Annah replies almost breathlessly, "To think I tried to kill him... what a mistake that was." Damion chuckles, joining in her giggling, as Annah gets a good grip on Marisa's ass, wiggling her body underneath her.

				The bar maid joined in the laughter and rolled off the tomboy or more specifically switched so she stared up at her, the redhead on top now. &nbsp;“Try being the operative word,” &nbsp;she joked, chuckling along with her two lovers.

				They think they're quite clever, Annah, at least, thinking Marisa doesn't notice. The vampire doesn't miss much, though, and catches her smile, but continues with the facade anyway, at least to spare Annah any embarrassment. They're not being too aggressive about it, either... she's simply teasing him, encouraging him to try something on her later in the day...

				So tempted is the wench to ruin the façade, so tempted is she to be wicked and yet she resisted, settling in the knowledge the vampire knew. She, however could not resist a sudden movement at just the right moment, her eyes opened just a slit to make sure she timed it correctly. Her eyes remained closed and she played it up as a resettling in hopes she would catch the gasp from her ‘secretive’ tomboy.

				Annah, predictably, squeaks and jumps slightly at Marisa's touch, which elicits a snicker from Damion. Feeling betrayed by the laugh, she draws her arms back, folding them across her chest and pouting slightly, glaring first at him, then her. Finally, she just simply climbs out, wanting to be the first to use the towel, anyway. This, of course, draws out further laughter from Damion, which only serves to annoy her more, though she can't help but giggle as well.

				Annah cuddles comfortably between the two, letting her hands come to rest in nice spots, snuggling down and enjoying their warmth. She doesn't seem to molest Marisa too much as they drift off to sleep, likely because the vampire is busy molesting her, judging from the occasional soft coo she murmurs.

You see gentlemen, she is the spitting image of the Red Falcon, but alas she could not steal a fly without getting caught.

				"War is the genesis of most profits for an ambitious merchant.

				Listening to his every word as if she is committing them to memory, the bar maid makes a mental note to ask the vampire several questions at a later date, she does not want to be just his cook nor his wench, not that she minded either task. ”Perhaps we can discuss this more when our guests have departed for the evening,” &nbsp;she suggested.<br><br>The long lingering kiss is delicious and Marisa returned it with vigor, her eyes sparkling with her heat, though she kept her hands away from Annah, not wanting to cover her in flour, ”It is a good start.” she whispered playfully.

				She stared at the vampire, ”But what if, my questions become more personal or are considered too amateur? No, I think I will wait for our guests to depart and save them for when we are alone.” The cooking done for now, she set about setting the table, enlisting the two of them to help, a task that was not too difficult. That done, all that was left to do was open the wine and wait for the guests to arrive, a task she hoped they could manage without ending up frolicking in front of the fire or worse the kitchen.<br><br>Whispering softly to her tomboy, ”I hope it is a nine course meal then, because I am certainly hungry,” a hungry smile playing across her lips.

She had found a tray earlier and using her skills she had honed so well for the past few years, she reentered the common room, tray on hand, five goblets perfectly steady.

This only causes more laughter from the remaining four as the two women disappear into the kitchen. Expertly, Marisa carved the bird, separating it into light and dark meat before she placed portions onto each dish, Damion received no vegetables but more meat than the others. The bread they brought to the table, allowing people to tear off their own portions. Arriving with the dishes, each person was served before the young couple took their seats at the table.

Jokes are exchanged, gossip is spread, and, while the men discuss the daily operation of their business, the women talk about shopping, cooking, and sewing... though, before long, Caitlin manages to maneuver the topic to more personal questions, particularly about sex, inquiring both about their relationship and encounters with Damion, and between each other. She's polite, asking subtly to not embarrass Annah as easily, though her eyes light up a bit if they describe anything.

"I think you'll make a fine assistant to him, both of you... he needs someone to watch out for him. I keep worrying that, one time, he's not going to return from these trips. Scoundrel he may be, but he's invaluable to the company. Without him, we'd never have made half the money we have."

Returning with five snifter’s and a decanter of brandy, Marisa smiled as she heard the end of the story, winking at Annah, as she too looked forward to her reward that night.

				It was getting late into the evening and unlike the threesome, Caitlin and Ezekiel did have to wake in the morning to take care of Damion’s investments. Her husband and lover of many years tapped her lightly on the shoulder just as she was getting to the interesting parts and whispered softly into her ear. A wicked grin appeared across her painted lips, ”I am sorry my darlings, but the story will have to wait for another evening,” &nbsp;she stated, finishing off the rest of her brandy. <br><br>So enraptured were the two younger women with the story it took them a moment to realize they would not be hearing the end of it. Annah pouted, but her face brightened when Caitlin stood and kissed her eagerly on the lips. ”It was nice to meet you, Annah,” &nbsp;she whispered against them with a wink. Blushing a bright red, Annah was unable to respond she was so flustered, which brought giggles from Marisa. <br><br>Approaching the bar maid, Caitlin did much the same, hugging her tightly and kissing her none-to-chastely, she whispered into her ear, ”Take care of him; he is a keeper, my dear.” Returning the kiss just as eagerly, Marisa responded, ”I knew that the moment I laid eyes upon him. We will have to meet again and arrange a trade for the recipe.” Her eyes gleaming, it was clear Marisa responded well to the kiss. <br><br>Laughing, Caitlin stepped back and allowed for her husband to steal his kisses from the ladies while she found her lover of so many years ago. ”Good night, my stranger, it has been too long since we have seen each other,” &nbsp;she whispered before kissing him deeply, her husband no longer jealous of his wife and the vampire.

Annah grins, recovering from her flustered state. "I can imagine... 'working with them' must be fun, indeed." She laughs, poking the vampire in the ribs.

				Marisa smiled brightly at the young tomboy’s response it is what she wanted to hear despite the fact she would probably suffer under their hands, most likely end up begging for release. As each of them began, she moaned, her eyes filled with a fiery lust for the both of them. <br><br>Their touch was arousing and ticklish at times causing her to alternate between moans and giggles, an interesting combination. When Annah lowered her own breast to the bar wenches, Marisa smirked and commented, ”I would consider that cheating my dear, almost grounds for disqualification.”

				Annah smirks. "Cheating? When did I set any rules?" Damion laughs, quick on his feet. "No rules, hmm? Then I guess it's fair to do this." His hand on Marisa's stomach slides down and begins rubbing her through her pants, while he slides the rest of his body up, giving her a deep kiss.<br><br>Annah scowls, and sets back to her breast with more vigor, intent on winning.

				She knew the vampire well enough that he would play dirty and she knew that he was aware who the real winner was throughout the entirety of this exchange and that it was neither of them. Her laughing turned into a deep-throated moan as he rubbed against her pants, muffled quickly by his passionate kiss which she returned with equal fervor. Whispering so very softly through her moan so that only the vampire would hear, the sound would easily be mistaken for a moan, ”You know I will have to choose her as the winner or life will be miserable around here.” <br><br>She squirmed with each of their touches, her need to climax becoming apparent, something she knew she would be denied until she chose the better of the two.

This is immediately followed by his tongue running around the outer curve of her ear.<br><br>After a few more minutes, Annah pulls away, still tickling lightly with her fingers, and tugs Damion from his play as well, indicating it's time to ask.

"And to think, I was going to let whoever you picked let you come... now you'll just have to wait a bit longer, I'm afraid." She giggles and thinks for a moment. "What to do to you, now... I know! We'll continue, but with a twist... I'll take her lower half, you take the top. Now we'll see who she thinks is better," she says, already undoing Marisa's pants and pulling them off.

				In ecstasy was the best way one could describe the bar maid as she climaxed with his slow, steady strokes, her screams of climax muffled by a deep kiss with the thief. She continued to move with a slow rhythm, hoping that the vampire would stop holding out, stop attempting to prove his manhood and join the two women in their climaxes.

				”Oh yes, I am always ready if you are willing,” &nbsp;she said with a raspy voice, her heart still speeding away. She had hoped the toy would not be forgotten and when the thief presented to be licked, Marisa lavished it as if it were Damion.

				Annah giggles as she eagerly attacks it, letting her own tongue tease the barmaid's breasts, until she finished. Drawing it away from her, she trails it down her body, while Annah climbs on top, drawing her into a kiss as she slides the toy inside her and begins pumping.

				The feel of the toy as it slid down her body created much anticipation in the barmaid and she could not wait to feel it inside of her again, though it was long enough for both of them to enjoy its pleasures. With eyes sparkling and when her lips were released for the briefest of moments, she whispered, ”push it inside yourself; let’s see if we can climax together.”

				Annah giggles. "Ooh, I never thought of that." Sitting up, she slides the toy inside Marisa, then positions herself over it, fumbling around a little until she figures out how to position it right, so that it's inside both of them. Once settled, she slowly starts to work her hips in different ways, to try to figure out which is best at getting it to move for both of them, working very slowly at first.<br><br>"Unh... ooh, this feels nice... tricky to work though."

				With much shifting and adjustment, the barmaid finally figured out the best position to be in so that they were both comfortable. The thief was certainly right, it was tricky, but eventually the two women got the hang of it and began thrusting. A sparkle in her eyes, a stupid little grin across her lips, as she spoke, ”Mmmmm…feels so good.”&nbsp; Without warning she grabbed and pulled Annah down for a fierce kiss.

When Damion said it was all untraceable she too was excited, yes a twinge of consciousness did stir, she thought perhaps there was someone looking for the goods, but truly there was no one or way they could find the previous owner, so it disappeared quickly.<br><br>”So are we?” She knew Damion was a war-profiteer and dealt in illegal substances such hallucinogenic mushrooms, so it was not too big of a leap to say he had dealt with stolen goods in the past.

I'll need to speak with Ezekiel, have him go over the books with me, find out what was ours, and what is, effectively, now profit.

				While they were talking, Marisa did take a sapphire from the gem bag, that it would be used to help with their business was understandable, but it was also her own, willed to her by the man she had killed with her own hand. When she had a moment with Damion alone she handed him the sapphire and told him of the pendant she wanted made for the thief, it could come form the both of them.<br><br>”We will need to get some milk for the little one, but tonight we will feed her scraps and water,” &nbsp;she said, continuing as she knew dawn was not far behind them, ”in any case we need to get home, think you can heft the chest, pretty boy?”

But I like the idea."<br><br>Annah is still fascinated by the gold and gems, taking her time to examine each of them carefully. Damion shuts the lid,&nbsp; getting ready to lift the chest, which causes Annah to pout. He heaves, and manages to get it off the ground, but it seems just a little too heavy for him. He sets it back down. "Annah, will you get the other side? I can't quite manage this, by myself." "Sure, I suppose." Grabbing the end with the bags of gems and spices, they lift together, and manage to get the chest in the air.<br><br>"Lead the way, m'dear."

				She pocketed the sapphire before Annah would notice, not that her attention was anywhere but the chest and the gems it contained. Just before she led the way down the stairs, she grabbed a blanket the kitten had nested in, knowing it would comfort the poor thing in her new home. She descended the stairs quickly and opened the front door allowing the others to exit before locking it tight again. A good sense of direction, she head directly towards their home, reaching it with plenty of time to spare before the sun crested the horizon. <br><br>Opening the door, she again stepped back and allowed them to go ahead of her, following them and closing the door behind. Once inside, she put the kitten on the floor and grabbed a crate bottom from the junk pile they had found in the spare bedroom. She went outside for a moment and filled it with dirt, returning short afterwards and placing the newly constructed litter box in the spare room for now. All the while the kitten dogged her, not leaving her side, brushing up against her legs and mewing. ”Hungry, Caitlin?” she asked as she walked towards the kitchen.<br><br>Taking some scraps from their earlier dinner, she placed it and a bowl of water down for the kitten, who attacked it voraciously, meanwhile she went in search of the other two.

				Moaning softly as her lover squeezed her ass, her tongue so close but not inside, the barmaid attempted to press her self closer to those lips, her own tongue darting inside. She knew if she did want Annah to tease her she would need to give her more than just one lick, spreading those lips, she licked along ever fold, sucking the thief’s clit into her mouth.

Working together, he's as naked as she is in moments, and, as soon as the last garment is tossed aside, he grabs her, pulling her into a much deeper kiss, hungry and aggressive.

				”You are an evil, wicked man and don’t ever change,” she whispered, giggling with his ticklish touch, as she felt his mouth wander down her leg again, only to return to her sex, though at a much slower pace. Again her climax built and this time she hoped he would not stop when she needed release.

				He considered it, but that's just cruel, at this point. As she reaches the edge of climax, he pulls his tongue away, with one last flick of her clit, to lick the area of her thigh that he'd bite, sing his fingers to finish her off, waiting until the moment she comes to sink his fangs into her skin.

				She climaxed, squirming around with it, except for the one leg he had pinned down so he could sink his fangs into it and as he took her blood a warm heat overcame her and again she climaxed with just the bite. Screaming at the top of her lungs, most likely waking the barmaid and the kitten upstairs, she writhed with pleasure, grasping at everything and anything in pure ecstasy.

				Damion is rather surprised at how much stronger this vein is than the one in the neck, not even having to suck to draw blood, and has to end it rather quickly, for fear of drinking too much... and so he can return his tongue to lapping up her sweet juices, and to see if he can drive her to a third orgasm before she finishes the first two.

				The kitten indeed had wandered down the steps to investigate, but upon reaching the bottom floor had discovered a fly and was intent on leaping after it, performing dazzling acrobatic stunts and taking it down with slow motion swat. Once it had fallen, Caitlin toyed with poor fly, pulling a wing from it, pouncing on it and watching how it suffered beneath her grasp, only to eventually eat it and sit proud on the bottom step, a loud rumbling coming from her as she watched the two of them.<br><br>Missing the kitten’s antics completely, the thief slowly came down from her climaxes, her breathing erratic at first and then slowing as his mouth covered hers in a long and deep kiss.

				Snuggling ever closer to her vampire lover, she returned the kiss and fell fast asleep, snoring lightly almost immediately, letting the vampire know just how exhausted the poor little thief had become.<br><br>Later, but not much later the barmaid awoke and quickly dressed, the kitten yawn and stared up at her groggily but did not move from the bed. As she ran down the stairs to grab a bite to eat, she heard the knock on the door. Opening it, she emitted Ezekiel, ”Could I get you some coffee or breakfast?” &nbsp;she asked kindly, her stomach growling.

				She strode into the kitchen and grabbed a stale piece of bread along with some dried fruit, and a porridge she had set on the embers to cook during the night, the coffee too she made, it a delicacy. She turned back to him, ”I am not sure, he and the thief were most likely up all night,” she replied with a knowing grin.<br><br>”May I ask what it is concerning?” she asked as she spied the kitten sneaking up behind the man, Caitlin sniffing at his boots and rubbing against them. Handing him a mug of coffee, she sat down and broke her fast, sipping at the hot coffee.

				Thanking her for the coffee as he takes it, he waits to take a long drink before replying. "As I said, nothing urgent, just a question over something he wrote in his report. Quite extensive, but some times, his handwriting can be so poor, one would think he wrote on a boat during a storm." He chuckles. "And if he is with the red headed girl, then I am sure he would rather object to my interrupting him... I will ask tonight, some time. Perhaps you three would like to come to our house? I mentioned to my dear Caitlin that I would be inviting you over, so she will likely have something delightful planned."

During her meal, she had listened and nodded her approval, ”We would love to join you this evening, give me but a moment to leave a not, just in case we do not make it back before nightfall.”<br><br>Snickering at the name of his wife, her thoughts going to the kitten that was rubbing against his leg, she wrote the note, her writing much improved, compared to what it was just a few weeks before. ”Let us go and see what we can find out about this attack and hope that it is not who our vampire friend believes it to be.”<br><br>Gathering a cloak to stave off the morning’s chill, she followed him out the door, closing and locking it behind them, ”Any ideas where we should start?” she asked as they began walking.

Still, he would be the best to start with, able to give us more information than she might, about the injury, at least, as well as her whereabouts."<br><br>Around them, the city is slowly stirring to life, as merchants make their way from home to their shops, deliveries are made around town, and the working class slowly trudges off to their jobs.

				Ezekiel tries to hold back his laughter, but a small snicker escapes regardless. On approaching the doctor's home, however, he becomes serious once more, giving her a nod of agreement, before knocking.<br><br>It is a couple of minutes before the older gentleman answers the door. He looks kindly and compassionate, what one might expect from a doctor choosing to work in the poorest part of the city, but also quite worn and tired, as if the weight of the world on his shoulders has taken its toll. "Yes? I'm sorry, I'm with someone right now... is this urgent, or can it wait?" "My apologies, good doctor. We merely wished to speak with you about one of the patients you saw recently, there is no rush." "Take a seat, then... I'll be with you shortly." He opens the door, gesturing to a few seats in the front room, and immediately turns to shuffle back to where he was with someone else. Another patron is already occupying a seat, a heavily pregnant woman, from the looks of it.

Leading them to the back room, he takes a seat on a small stool, and sighs deeply. "Now... how may I help you two, today?" "We were wondering if we could speak with you about the patient of your who came in a couple of days ago, the one who had had her blood... drained, was it?"<br><br>The doctor's eyes narrow, and he raises his voice, sounding somewhat angry, as if he'd been asked about this quite a lot. "I have already told the city guard what I know. There is no such thing as vampires, or other bloodsucking creatures of myth. I don't know what caused her malady, but my guess is that it is nothing more than a crazed member of our own race. And no, I won't tell you where she lives, either, the poor girl has gone through enough as it is!"

Now, go on, I have patients with actual problems I need to deal with." Despite his harsh words, it's clear he's not always like this; it seems the stress of the situation, compounded with the normal difficulties of his job, have taken their toll on him.<br><br>"We're sorry to bother you... I can see that our safety isn't important to you. Good day, sir." Taking Marisa by the arm, he turns and begins leading her towards the door. However, his knowledge of human nature is seemingly flawless, as he stops in his stride a second before the doctor calls out "Wait." Hiding his smile, he turns back to face the doctor. "Here. Don't mention it was from me, though," he says, as he hands a hastily scrawled note to Ezekiel. It's the address of the woman's home.

				Marisa kept her voice calm, lying her hands in her lap when the girl pulled hers from her grasp, ”we are not here to hurt you, Miss, but we do have some expertise in things vampire and,” she took a deep breath, before she finished the sentence. Staring at the girl, Marisa decided to just go for it, not one to beat around the bush forever, ”we fear you might be one.”

Whispering softly as she put an arm around her, ”It is possible that you are not a vampire and if you are it is not the end of the world, you could chose to be good and I am sure it is possible to take blood and not kill.”

"Would you rather feed upon me, or Marisa?"<br><br>"F-feed? You mean... like he did to... me?" She whimpers, looking frightened. "Aye, but with one difference; you stop, before you kill me."

He points to a spot on his neck, where a small collection of faded pink marks dot, centered around two points. "It is alright, it doesn't hurt, if done softly." She looks at him, wide-eyed, then slowly leans in. As she nears, her vampiric instincts kick in, and she snaps her fangs to his neck. He hisses, it being a litle painful, and she draws away in horror at what she'd done... until the trickle of blood begins to leak out.<br><br>A fierce hunger in her eyes, she lungs forward once more, this time attaching only her lips to his neck, sucking and lapping at the life-giving nectar, her body shuddering in apparent pleasure. After a moment, Ezekiel says, "Enough." and pushes her away from him. She struggles to resist, to keep feeding, lost in the urge, but she's still weak, and he removes her easily.<br><br>"I... I've never felt so... alive." she shudders again, licking a spare stain of blood off her lip.

				She smiled, understanding the aversion to wanting to take her blood, there were those who were not comfortable with their sexuality and make no mistakes something about taking blood was sexual, it is easier to pretend if taking it from those you would prefer. Standing before Ezekiel offered his neck she was prepared to do what she needed if Alora got out of hand, it a distinct possibility with this being her first taste of blood.<br><br>She waited, could see Ezekiel’s eyes rolling back with the unmistakable pleasure that came with the bite, oh there was pain sometimes, but there was pleasure as well and then when he said it was enough, Marisa put her hands on the vampire and helped restrain her so she would not go back, only letting go when she had control of the urge. ”It can be addicting, Alora, you must learn to control the urge or you will become like the monster that gave you this curse,” the barmaid said as she reached for her sketchbook, ready to draw her assailant.

"Y-yes, of course... I'm so sorry."<br><br>"Think nothing of it, dear... you have not hurt me," he lies gracefully. the wound on his neck was still a little sore from the inexpert bite, and its clear she took more than Damion does, leaving him a little woozy, but fine, overall.<br><br>Sounding a little more confident, she turns to Marisa, as Ezekiel returns to his chair. "Now, you wanted to know what he looks like, right?" She begins describing her attacker, taking her time, correcting details of the sketch as it develops. He's an older gentleman, tall and thin, with hollow cheekbones, small ears tucked close to his head, and a hooked nose, and, of course, very pale. And his eyes, his eyes are piercing, like a raptor seeking its prey, cold and fierce. Everything about him is cold, except for how he moves, how he speaks... these are warm and inviting, like honeyed tea.

				"O-oh... this is part of it, too? I guess I'll save money, then." She offers a smile at her joke, and it's clear she's in a better mood, now.<br><br>She quickly and deftly slices up the food into small pieces, placing them on a large, slightly dirty plate for her, offering the meager snack to Marisa, and taking a few small pieces for herself.

				Ezekiel grunts and stirs slowly. "Mmm, god morning, Caitlin... eh? Oh, Marisa... right, I remember..." He rubs the sleep from his eyes, stirring slowly. "Is it evening already? My, how the day went by. Food? Oh, thank you." He lowers his voice, to only Marisa, "How is she? Will she be alright to travel?"

				Laughing at his attempt at secrecy, she reminded him even as she saw the smile upon Alora’s face, of a vampire’s keen sense of hearing. ”She is well, how are you feeling Ezekiel? Going to be able to walk?” &nbsp;she asked helping him sit up as he all but devoured the meal Alora had made for them.

				Ezekiel blushes at Alora's surprised giggle, realizing she probably shouldn't have heard him. He sits up a little quickly, placing his hand on his head as he wobbles. "I'll... be fine, don't worry about me." He eats quickly, quite hungry, though a little guilty, since they'll be having dinner soon.<br><br>Alora takes a look out the window; the sun is setting behind the buildings. It will soon be safe to travel. "I don't think I'm going to like being cooped up indoors all day." "You'll get used to it, in time." "Still, I would like to see the sunset, one more time." She sighs, a little melancholy.

				Recognizing the look from Ezekiel as he finished off the plate, Marisa smiled, ”Don’t worry, you will still be hungry for dinner, trust me on this one.” And then she felt the sun slide from the side and finally disappear behind the mountains, ”it will be the sunrises that you will come to dread, Alora, sunsets will be the start of your day”<br><br>Marisa had grown accustomed to sleeping during the day and so she felt this as unnatural, the tiredness she was beginning to feel she attributed to being up when she should be sleeping. ”Are we ready to head out?” she said anxiously.

"Aye, I imagine Caitlin's worried sick about us... your two are probably still sleeping."<br><br>Alora pulls out a heavy traveling cloak, making ready to leave, Ezekiel still ready to go from when they arrived. "I think we ought go collect your two, first, then head to dinner... While she may not be expecting one extra, she always prepares plenty. I hope you're hungry, Alora... my wife cooks hearty meals."

				"Ahh, yes, I'd forgotten about the note. To my home, then." He sets off out the door, a little wobbly on his feet, still, but confident in his stride. Alora follows timidly, a little nervous about being unprotected, fearful someone might, somehow, identify her as a monster, or that the sun isn't entirely down.<br><br>Their journey, however, is uneventful, and they soon arrive at Ezekiel's home. Or, rather, they are greeted on the street by a fiery, angry redheaded woman. Armed with a wooden spoon and a fierce glare, Caitlin is tapping her foot impatiently as Ezekiel comes into sight. As soon as he's withing earshot, she begins to rain her verbal abuse upon him. "Where have you been all day? I expected you back hours ago to fetch supplies for me from the market! As it is, I almost didn't finish the meal in time! And who's this?" She points to Alora with the spoon.<br><br>Ezekiel, knowing he can't stem his wife's anger by arguing with her, instead continues walking to get closer to her. "Dear, this is Alora. She's the girl I spoke to you about last night." He finishes next to her, and leans in to whisper in her ear, for the sake of anyone who might overhear. Caitlin's expression changes immediately, from wrathful to motherly. "Oh, oh, you poor dear... come inside, come inside... have you 'eaten', recently?" She moves to wrap an arm around the girl, who, surprised by the sudden shift in temper, accepts the invitation willingly.<br><br>As the two move inside, Ezekiel gives Marisa a knowing smirk, as if to say, "Do I know my wife, or what?" before following as well.

				As they walked, Marisa had slid her hand into Alora’s as if to assure her that everything would be all right, that she was now safer than she had ever been in the company of this strange family. The warmth of Ezekiel’s blood had left the poor girl, her hand cold to the point of being frigid and yet she obviously was not aware of the temperature change, another benefit, an extreme tolerance of weather.<br><br>Never having been to Ezekiel’s, the barmaid made it a point to look for familiar landmarks, finally finding the road to the jeweler’s where she had dropped off the sapphire for their lovely thief, it would be ready in a week or so. Once she had found it, she paid attention to each turn, memorizing the way to the manager’s home in case she needed to return to it one day. So absorbed was she, Marisa was unaware of Caitlin until she heard the woman’s ire, feeling the vampire’s unconscious shiver. <br><br>She had leaned over and whispered, ”Watch this,” as Ezekiel moved closer and whispered into his wife’s ear. The barmaid released the young vampire’s hand as she was whisked away by placated redhead, Marisa calling after her in a voice jokingly, ”It is good to see you again too, Caitlin” as they stepped inside the couple’s lovely home.

				The inside of their home is much as one might expect; similar in many ways to Damion's house, it is well kept, spacious, and, unlike his, has a feeling of a warm, womanly touch. Caitlin has seated Alora in a chair, and is making her way to the kitchen when she looks back over her shoulder to Marisa, blushing. "Oh! I didn't even see you there, welcome Marisa. Are Damion and Annah with you?" She bustles into the kitchen to attend to a pot of boiling vegetables, while waiting for a reply.<br><br>Alora seems quite overwhelmed by the sudden bustle of activity, and sits with a rather bewildered expression. Ezekiel retrieves a bottle of wine from the kitchen, along with a tray of wine glasses, pouring and offering one to his guests, then pouring one each for him and his wife, before finally taking a seat.

				Far from one who was willing to allow her hostess to do all of the work, the barmaid had followed Caitlin into the kitchen. ”They will be on their way shortly, at least I hope they will be,” &nbsp;she said, giving that knowing wink to Caitlin, who knew the vampire well enough to know what might be happening instead. Looking around the kitchen, she asked, ”Is there anything I can do to help, and know that I will not take no for an answer.”<br><br>Directed towards a break basket, she had took it to the table, trading it for two glasses of wine, one of which she offered to Caitlin, ”So have you been, I have not seen you in what a week or so?” she asked, hoping not to isolate Alora too much, but still wanting to have some semblance of normalcy.

				She did as she was asked and just as she placed the fork upon the napkin, having already found an extra plate and wine glass for the additional person there was a knock at the door. Bouncing towards the door after getting a nod from Ezekiel letting her know it was okay to answer the door, she appeared in front of it and swung it wide.<br><br>There she found Damion and Annah standing before her, the smell of sex apparent for those that would recognize it, like the barmaid. ”It is nice of you two to show up,” she quipped, moving aside so that they could enter, the three of them still hidden from the kitchen. Whispering softly to them she told them of the new addition, giving them a short synopsis, ”she has been turned, is frightened, her attacker was male and I do have a sketch so we may continue our hunt and yes she was aware that she is a vampire.”<br><br>The thief could not wait any longer, wrapping her arms around the barmaid and giving her a sloppy kiss, "We missed you this morning, well evening, and your kitten is a little terror...you can forget about that nice linen blouse you had purchased, it is in shreds."

Has she fed?"<br><br>Ezekiel then spots them, advancing to give his greeting. "Ah, my old friend... your barmaid and I had quite the adventure today. Come in, come in... dinner's almost ready. It would have been finished sooner, but, alas, our meeting with Alora here took longer than we'd anticipated. Alora, I'd like you to meet the rest of our extended family, here... This is Damion, the other vampire we spoke of, and Annah, another who lives with him." Alora smiles and nods at them, keeping her seat and remaining quiet.<br><br>Annah, however, reacts sharply to the sight of Alora; it seems she knows her, from somewhere, though she doesn't say anything and regains her composure almost immediately. Alora doesn't seem to notice this reaction, nor does she appear to recognize the thief.

				Turning to her vampire lover, Marisa said, ”She is scared but otherwise doing okay and yes she has fed and as you can see,” she pointed to Ezekiel, ”her victim is quite alive, though he did take quite a long nap this afternoon. I promised to say no more about how adorable he looks while sleeping.” Smiling wickedly at the glare she received from the manager, the barmaid remained standing.<br><br>Alora for her part reached out and shook hands with both of the two newcomers, ”it is a pleasure to meet the two of you; you are awfully kind to have invited me here.” Marisa noted the flinch from her thief lover, quirking an eyebrow as she moved towards her, ”Is there a place I could freshen up?” she asked, interlacing her fingers with Annah’s, the thief was going with her over any objections she might have otherwise.<br><br>”Down the hallway, last door on the right,” was the response from the kitchen, followed by ”but don’t take too long, dinner will be on the table <strong>very</strong> soon,” when she saw Marisa dragging Annah with her. Reaching the bathroom, the last door meaning the second door, she opened the door, candles keeping it lit so they may close the door, slid inside and closed it behind them. There, before she could stop her self, she pushed the thief against the wall and kissed her fiercely, ”Missed you today,” she whispered, before she asked her real question, in barely audible whispers, ”where do you recognize her from?”

She blushes at the question, glancing away and stammering, "W-who said I recognized her?" Knowing she'd been caught, though, she sighs, and replies, "She's... someone I knew from my home village. I, we... were friends, sort of. I don't think she recognized me because I look a lot different, now." She gestures to her short-cut hair. "She probably doesn't remember me, either.

				Smiling and attempting to keep her hands to herself, knowing that if she started something with her thief lover they would be late for dinner, not too mention with their giggles and moans they would be heard by the others, she whispered, her lips brushing against Annah’s ”there must be more to the story with you blushing such a beautiful color.” Before the thief could answer her though, she kissed her fiercely, holding her tightly as she loved the feeling of the woman’s body against her own, though preferably without clothing. <br><br>Finally she broke off the kiss and stared into the thief’s eyes expectantly, they only had a few more moments before they would have to return to the table.

For long moments they stood in the bathroom, moaning within each other’s arms, until the barmaid broke the kiss and with a wicked grin stated, ”I will stop speaking of it hear and do promise not to say more of it, as long as you give me some loving tonight as well as tell what the two of you did last night.”

The men break away from their conversation long enough to take a few bites, and it's not long before the barmaid can feel toes crawling up her leg, as the thief does her best to hide her smirk.

Alora thinks for a moment, building up her courage, and then begins to ask questions of Damion, starting with simple things, but, as her courage builds, she begins to probe deeper and deeper, often returning answers of "I don't know," or "I haven't dared to try that," though many of the questions answered, Marisa would've been able to, from her time with Damion.<br><br>Alora and Damion dominate the entire remainder of the dinner, desert, and discussion afterward, around the fireplace.

Marisa and I have had a veyr long day, and I imagine you have, as well. You two may not need to be up with the dawn, but I do. You're welcome to stay and continue talking... but do mind the time, hmm?" "There's a bed in the guest bedroom, just down that hall on the left, all made up for you, dear, and some of my clothes are laid out on the bed. They may not fit you perfectly, but they're certainly better than what you have." "Thank you, Caitlin." "Have a good night, everyone." "Aye, sleep well." "Night!" "Good night." "Thank you, both, again. May your dreams be peaceful!"

				Through the conversation, Marisa listened to each of the answers, gleaming what information she had not known from them, though her attention for the most part was upon the thief, her fingers teasingly slow, with the occasional pinch or thrust inside, the warm envelop almost causing the barmaid to moan, giving herself away. When the time came to clear dishes, she was the first rise and help, licking her fingers as she did so, making sure it was only the thief that noticed. <br><br>When in the kitchen alone with their hostess, she could feel Caitlin’s eyes upon her, which she returned with a smile and a whisper, ”Are you jealous? Because you do know I find you attractive, but would never want to interfere with you and Ezekiel.” She let the words drift through the air, did not wait for an answer as she lifted the dessert, bringing it to the table, the conversation still non-stop about vampires, their limitations and benefits. Retuning again to the kitchen, she helped with the tea and coffee, setting a cup in front of each person that requested it before sitting once again.<br><br>Her fingers immediately returned to the thief, staying there until it was time to clear the table and move to the fireplace. Thankfully, the thief was afforded a reprieve, as there was no way for Marisa to continue her teasing in front of the fireplace, the barmaid yawning from time to time as the night caught up with her. Saying good night and thank you to their host and hostess, Marisa turned back towards her vampire lover, she said, ”If you would like to stay and talk more, Annah and I could find our way back home,” &nbsp;she said, feeling unnerved as she spoke the words, ”though it might be better if you came with us.”

				Caitlin offers Marisa a look, at her comment, that indicates that she wants to say something... but now's not the time for it.<br><br>At Marisa's words, Damion takes on a serious look. "No... I will join you. We'll have plenty of time to talk in the future, Alora... you've proven yourself quite brave, so far." She blushes, knowing that she wasn't all that brave earlier in the day. "I look forward to it, Damion." She smiles at him, offering a slight wink; maybe it's just a habit, from her occupation... or maybe she's interested in him.<br><br>Regardless, he doesn't appear to take notice, turning to his two women. "I assume you're both ready to leave?" Annah nods, standing, helping Marisa to her feet, and leaving if there are no objections.

				A large yawn escaped her lips as she is helped to her breath, the barmaid tired after a long day, ”Going would be a good idea, before you have to carry me home,” &nbsp;she said, smiling wickedly at Annah and letting her know there would be time for them to play at home. Turning her attention to Alora, she closed the gap between them and gave the woman a hug and a kiss on the cheek, ”you are safe here, amongst friends, I am sure we will be back to visit shortly,” &nbsp;she whispered as they said their good nights.<br><br>Outside was cold and one look at the sky verified that the threatened rain was more than likely with a good chance of it happening before they made it home. Shivering slightly, the barmaid wrapped an arm around both of her lover’s, her bag hanging off her shoulder ”I have a sketch for you to look at when we are home, Damion, I did not want to bring it up at dinner, but Alora had a good memory of the vampire that did this to her.”

"You two can't behave for five minutes, can you? I've seen children with better manners." He shakes his head. "Of course...I considered doing the same thing." He breaks into a grin, as Annah smacks him for the joke. "A sketch? Ohh, what's he look like? Tall an' strong, like Damion? Or is he scarred an' ugly?" She giggles, hoping they get home quickly.

				Marisa laughed, ”You are just jealous, my dear Damion, now if you could blush as red as our thief here, I would have certainly misbehaved with you, but how could I resist her,” she replied, amused at the smack he received for the comment. Turning to the matter at hand, ”I will show you when we get home, but he looks like an ordinary person, a gentleman that one in Alora’s profession would easily allow into her home. She invited him into her home, hence the reason she can never go back there, I believe if he knew she live he would go back and kill her, she is too dangerous for him.”<br><br>They walked along the darkened streets, they mostly silent with the townsfolk too frightened with the news to leave their home, a predator was on the loose.

				Thankfully, they are in no danger of being attacked in as large a group as they are; no lone attacker, no matter how brave or powerful, would risk attacking three people at once. Soon, they arrive home, Damion unlocking and opening the door for them. "Now, then, let's see this sketch of yours."

				Home at last and suddenly the energy drained from the barmaid, she having been up for most of the day and much of the night. ”If we are going to be up a while, I will need coffee,” &nbsp;she whispered, slipping the bag from her shoulder. <br><br>Pulling out the sketch pad, she flipped through several pictures; the two of them would catch several new sketches, one of each of them sleeping. There is one of the thief; the sheets just barely covering her breasts and intimates, but the rest of her bare as she slept, the kitten curled on the pillow next to her. Another of Damion, sitting at his desk, studying paperwork, she has captured his studious expression perfectly. Finally though, she found the one of the culprit, his image jumping from the page, dark and sinister. ”Do you recognize him, Damion?”

				"I'll make it," Damion says, moving into the kitchen without pause. Annah curls up on the couch next to Marisa, watching her flip through the sketches over her shoulder, commenting occasionally on them, curious at the ones of herself, still not used to seeing her own image. Damion arrives as she flips over to the image of the vampire, handing her the coffee as he studies it. "No. I've not seen this man before." "Me either. I mean, he's sort of like this one man I saw, once... but he was a lot uglier."

				Sipping the coffee, her brow furled, unsure what their next step should be afraid this monster would kill again, ”Do you think he will stay in town now that the guard is looking for him?” She knew Damion would have had the common sense to run after so much heat, but what if this vampire was crazed, caught up in bloodlust, he would be unable to stop unless he was killed. ”What should we do next? The guards will only get themselves killed or injured, otherwise I would turn the sketch over to them,” &nbsp;she said idly staring down at the picture. Smiling she looked to Annah, ”What do you mean uglier?”<br><br>It was at this moment the kitten chose to jump into the barmaid’s lap, rubbing her jaw against the edge of the sketch pad and meowing. Scratching it behind its ear, Marisa asked, ”Did they take care of you, Cait?” A purr was the answer, the barmaid chose to take it as a yes.

As much as I hate to admit it, our only two options are both things I don't like. Either we wait, and pray he doesn't strike again, or we use one of you two as bait for him." Annah looks about ready to speak, but Damion cuts her off, "However, I'm not going to risk you, either of you, on something like that. It's too dangerous."<br><br>Annah stays quiet for a moment, before answering Marisa's question. "Jus', the guy I'd seen before, he wasn't as... attractive as this fella. Not that ya can tell much from a picture, but you've gone and made 'im look pretty handsome, y'know?" It was true; her sketch showed a man with some striking features. Maybe it's just an artist's interpretation, or maybe, as Alora said, he is a handsome man. "'Course, he's nothin' compared to the two of you."

				”Perhaps you saw him prior to turning and somehow the vampirism has succeeded in curing his prior illness? Perhaps he is a new vampire, one too feral to bring back to civilization, but instead one unleashed upon it to watch the destruction by another? What if, this is her plan, set him loose in a town and see how comes to stop him,” Marisa whispered, her words coming out quickly as if she were brainstorming by herself. <br><br>As she did so, she idly pets the kitten, Caitlin settling into her lap and purring, staring at the other two occasionally as if to say, ‘see this is how you treat a cat.’

"So, m'dear, what would you do if we let you free?" "Anything, oh, anything!" "Anything?" He smirks wickedly at Marisa, seeing if she wants to dictate the rules for the night.

				His answer was her smile, a wicked one at that, ”oh I think I can manage,” &nbsp;she answered his unasked question, untying the redhead quickly, whispering into her ear, ”I want to watch him take you hard while you make me cum with your delicious tongue, you will only be able to climax, no matter how much you want to, after you have succeeded.” Smiling, she nodded to Damion, hoping he would approve of their first act.

				"Is that all? I was gonna do tha', anyway!" Damion nods and smiles conspiratorially. He's going to have fun with this one. Giving his barmaid one last, long kiss, he pushes himself off the ground, moving in behind Annah, starting by teasing her with his fingers, while Marisa gets in place. Annah looks about ready to come from that touch alone, but, as she draws close, Damion draws away, denying her, ready to grab a hand that might stray between her legs to finish herself off.

				”It is the beginning,” Marisa whispered as she watched her vampire lover drift behind the thief and begin his torment. From just there small time together, about a month she knew he was a great lover, one that had enough patience to out last anyone especially there poor little thief. Relaxing on the rug in front of the fire, that they somehow had managed to stoke during these intimate moments, she smiled at Annah and whispered playfully, ”Well?”&nbsp;

				Much to the thief’s disappointment she discovered quickly that her barmaid, although extremely excited was able to hold out, her grip on the rug causing her knuckles to turn white. In the midst of one scream, when she was so close it would take much longer she seemed to nod to the vampire, as if to say now.

				Annah, too intent on helping Marisa to her climax, doesn't notice her nod. Damion, however, does, and, planting his hands on Annah's hips, gives her only a moment's notice before thrusting deep inside her, much to her surprise and delight. He takes the young thief aggressively, and she responds in kind, though her cries are muffled by her work to finish the barmaid.

				Annah doesn't reply, instead pulling away as soon as Marisa climaxes, to enjoy her own, her fingers digging into Marisa's legs as she shudders from each of the vampire's hard thrusts, her body trembling with the force of the pleasure she denied herself suddenly released. Only when her body finally ends its mighty tremors does Damion cease, withdrawing his still rock-hard member, giving Annah a chance to recover for a minute as he comes around to kiss them both.

				Occasionally their kisses on her end for a moment, and she can hear the sound of their lips meeting, close to her ear. One of Annah's hands slip around to her front, tickling across her belly, slipping down betwene her legs for a moment, rubbing quickly, then sliding down to inside of her leg, lifting it into the air. Apparently, this is a coordinated effort between the two of them, because as soon as her leg is in the air, the vampire's stiff member presses against her lips, sliding in slowly, teasingly, accompanied by a giggle and a kiss from the thief.

				A moan, playful growl and a gasp erupted from the barmaid as she felt the two of them teasing her and each other, the play of Annah’s hand down her already sensitive skin, causing a tingling sensation down her spine, quickly followed by the immediate sensation of being filled so slowly. Her moan deepened and she strained against her bonds, desperate to hold the thief as they kissed and yet she loved that she could not do so. Pulling the vampire in as he slowly pressed inwards, she leaned against him, wanting to feel all of him within.

A moment later, Annah pulls away, as Damion continues his slow, teasing push,&nbsp; reaching all the way into her before Annah returns, only a few seconds having passed, though it certainly seems like longer. This time, though, the thief's body is pressed against her differently; the first sensation is of her tongue, sliding around Marisa's inner thighs, as she scoots her body in closer, spreading her legs and pressing her womanhood towards Marisa's face, taking her time to get in the right position for her to enjoy, all the while, teasing with her tongue, occasionally leaving Marisa's skin for a moment, apparently to slide along Damion's member, judging from his groans, as he slides, painfully slow, in and out of her.

The loss of Annah kissing her made her cry out almost sulk though Damion’s push inwards stop her cries she concentrating on his touch, until she could smell the glorious scent of womanhood, it stronger than before, the brush of her sex close to her face and immediately Marisa’s tongue was upon Annah’s nether lips. Stroking them slowly, echoing the vampire’s movements, the slow rhythm of it sure to drive the thief crazy.

				There was no doubt the speed of Annah’s tongue upon her most intimate parts would drive her to climax quickly if it had not been for the thief’s short attention span and her view of Damion’s erection and the attention she afforded it as well and for this the barmaid was thankful, for she wanted to win this contest of wills, though no one had mentioned it was one, all three of them seemed to be acting as if it were. Smiling wickedly, a smile only Damion would be able to feel, the barmaid captured the poor thief swollen clit between her lips and hummed, the vibrations surely pushing her closer, as the barmaid again returned to the slow lapping of the juices, occasionally pressing into her.

				Annah squeals at Marisa's move, and squeaks again, as apparently Damion's hands seize her breasts, giving a nice squeeze. In her own way of getting revenge, she does the same back to Marisa, and, judging by the vampire's reaction, has taken his balls in her hand, squeezing those as well. His tension fades as he releases the thief, who apparently did the same, as his hands return to the barmaid's chest and sides, still teasing gently.

				Annah squeals with delight as Marisa climaxes, continuing to tease her with her tongue, eagerly. Judging from the motion of her hands, and his soft moans, her hands are occupied, busily rubbing Damion's shaft, as eager to pleas ehim as she is to please her.<br><br>Damion quickly withdraws his fingers, to avoid being bitten, deftly removing her blindfold in the same motion, shifting beneath her, turning her head to take her into a kiss as she rides out her orgasm.

				Moaning and shivering as she came down for her orgasm, her breath ragged her heart beating quickly as she lay across her vampire lover, her eyes barely open as she tilted her head towards his lips, kissing him passionately until she needed to catch her breath. ”Wow, just wow,” she managed, staring down at him and then at the thief.

Turning back towards them, the warm glow of the embers highlighting her as if she were standing before a sun-kissed window, she admired them, the sweat glistening from each, the afterglow bestowed upon the thief, the knowing smile on the vampire’s lips.

Next she moved down to the foot of the bed, tying each of her legs to the posts, making sure they were good and wide, smiling as the vampire still struggled to keep the thief down. ”She should not give us any more trouble, my dear,” Marisa said and then climbed onto the bed behind the vampire and between Annah’s legs, she had not yet had enough of her taste. ”Wonder how loud I can make her scream.”

				Which she got, the barmaid never stopped, in fact in the midst of the third she waved the vampire over, so that he could do his magic to increase the pleasure, he understanding immediately that he was to bite the screaming thief. Marisa for her part lapped up those juices, her sliding in and out. At one point, her finger drifted and she slowly placed pressure upon the thief’s rosebud, not enough so that her finger would be pushed inward, but enough so that she could feel it, slowly she worked her finger around the tight hole, heightening every sensation the poor girl was feeling.

				Damion happily obliges, crawling on top of the bound thief, though taking his time to get there, molesting Marisa on the way. As Marisa torments her below, Damion teases her breasts, first kissing them, then using his hands as he kisses her lips, then down to her neck. She inhales sharply, as she figures out what he's about to do, then shrieks in delight as his fangs sink in to her skin, moaning, shuddering, and orgasming again as he feeds.

Allowing the thief the middle of the bed, she slipped in beside her, the vampire already having removed the ropes that kept her hands tied.

As it stands, between our two, err, families, we own four pieces of property; this house, Ezekiel's, Ravael's, and, of course, the warehouse and office. I would prefer, honestly, a larger property, if we were to consolidate... the problem, of course, in that such a large estate is difficult to acquire in a city like this, as you can well imagine. Not that we couldn't afford it, but that it might be difficult to find, if not impossible. I have several other properties in other cities, as well, that could use improvements... we need to consider those, as well." Annah snatches her half a piece back, with a slightly annoyed look.<br><br>"Obviously, at the very least, we need to sell Ravael's property; it's doing us no good, as of now. There isn't much room around the warehouse to expand, unless we purchase the property from our neighbors... but I wouldn't count on that." He sighs, picking at his food.

It means traveling a little further to make deliveries, but the goods don't have to travel as far to get to me, either.

"Damion! What the 'ell happened?!" She struggles to get out of the blanket and regain her feet, nearly stumbling in her rush to get to him.

				Peering from the kitchen, Marisa’s face said it all, concern, worry, fear, but she did not approach the vampire, allowing him his space and time with their thief. She was a patient woman, though she did wonder if he would need blood, despite not looking too badly injured, she had seen him far worse.

				His wounds would probably look worse, were he still alive; his undeath, while causing him to still bleed, limits the bleeding considerably. He staggers into the room, shutting the door behind him, and wearily dropping the sword to the ground. "Did you get him? Is he dead? Are we free from him? Did you save his--" Damion cuts her off, with a single finger pressed to her lips.<br><br>Wearily, he gathers his strength to reply, shuffling across the room to his chair. "No, he still lives, as it were... I hurt him, but not as much as he hurt me." He sinks into his chair, eyes closed, looking beaten and worn. "He's... he's stronger than I am. I may have the experience, but he's stronger. Much stronger. Annah... I'm glad you did not follow. He likely would have taken you from me... and I would not have been able to stop him." "Then I woulda stabbed--" "Annah. No, you wouldn't have. I could barely hurt him... but he is leaving town, tonight. I staled him long enough for the body to be found, for him to be accused as her killer. He cannot stay here, safely..." Damion sighs, offering a weak smile. "I need a bath... would either of you care to help wash me and dress my wounds?" Annah smiles through her tears, reaching out to hug him, despite his hiss of pain when she squeezes.

				She leaned against the door frame, dish rag still in her hands as she listened to his tale, her fear almost palpable, though she is thankful that she had stopped Annah from chasing after him and that he had the sense to run, wondering if he would have had it not been for the two of them in his life. Swallowing, she took charge.<br><br>”Annah go draw him a bath, I will retrieve the bandages and ointment. Damion, stay in that chair until I get back, I will help you to the bathroom when the hot water is good and ready.” &nbsp;She did not wait for them to follow her orders, she just expected them done as she climbed the stairs to grab the bandages from there, their supply running low.

				In a flash the barmaid returned with the bandages and ointments required to wrap their vampire’s wounds, she returning to the downstairs just as quickly. ”Come now, Damion, let’s get you out of these clothes and into the tub.” They were in ruins the clothes and some of them were sticking to his body where he bled and would hurt as they undressed him.<br><br>Slipping an arm under him for support she walked slowly to the bath where once they had him settled on the edge of the bath, the two woman spent ample time carefully removing his clothes so not to injure too much more as they pulled it away from his skin. Once done, they helped him slide into the soothing waters. Grabbing a sponge, she softly scrubbed at his skin, whispering into his ear as she did so, ”You will need some of my blood tonight.” It was not a question.

				She looked him in his eyes, he was weak, there was a chance he might go feral if he did not have blood in a certain amount of time, ”will we need to lock you up?” she asked, hoping he understood where she was going with the conversation. Soon they scrubbed his wounds and the rest of the grime from his body. Once done she helped him from the bath, Annah on the other side and set him upon a comfortable chair as she bandaged the more severe of his wounds, rubbing the ointment on just beforehand.<br><br>”Do you want to sleep alone tonight?”

He leans heavily on the women as they escort him to the chair, looking ready to fall asleep on the spot. "I'd rather not... your company relaxes me," he replies, with a warm smile.

I could not stand to lose you both on one night,” &nbsp;she whispered kissing the younger woman tenderly on the lips, tears glistening in her eyes.<br><br>The injuries their vampire sustained were grave, her heart ached for him and she worried he would be too weak even after the two days had past.

This is an unusual tone, for the normally confident vampire; it seems this is one of the first times he honestly didn't know something. "I'll be fine, don't worry.

"The one thing that disturbs me, that I cannot shake from my mind, is that he seemed to imply that... that taking a life is what made him stronger." Damion shivers, slightly.

				Her interest in the conversation had been lackluster at best, she having much more interesting things, or rather thieves to toy with, but when they mentioned his strength increasing when he killed, she wondered out loud, ”Do you think it is a plateau? What I mean is, does every kill increase his strength? Do you think he would have to maintain the strength by continuing to kill?” She took a breath and then thought of one final question, ”Do you suppose it is addictive?”<br><br>When she finished inquiring, she scooted closer to Annah, her hand somewhat hidden between them as she curled her fingers around an rested them under the woman’s buttocks.

She walked right behind Annah and whispered into her ear, using a sultry voice they both recognized from when she recounted the tale of when she had first met their vampire, ”What, my dear, has you all flushed?” Marisa smirked and began filling the bread bowls as if nothing was said, she could not wait for the answer.

				"'Course I will," Annah replies, quickly hopping up to set the table, glad to be out from under everyone's stares for a minute. She almost squeaks when Caitlin's voice slips into her ear; she hadn't realized the woman was so close to her. "W-what?" Annah blushes brighter. "Nothing, I was just... umm, thinking about something Marisa told me." Not entirely untrue.

She placed the bowls in front of where the manager and his wife would be sitting and lingered long enough to hear the next question.<br><br>”And what did she tell you?” Annah would feel her hand being grabbed in a vice-grip it was all in jest, but she could tell Caitlin wanted to know or at least tease her mercilessly.

Only when she noticed Alora not eating did she stop, her fingers curled inward against the thief’s inner thigh. <br><br>A concerned glance to Damion, as he is the one who could help her through these moments, she looked back to Alora. ”Does not taste like anything or is not fulfilling?”

				It was sad really and if the barmaid had known she would have made a separate pot or at least provided a chili paste so that they could liven up her food. Choosing not to chaste her lover as it had probably become second nature to him, she made a mental note and moved on, enjoying her food. Her teasing slowed for the most part, she not wanting to embarrass the thief too much.<br><br>In the lull of conversation, Caitlin interjected some good news, ”We should tell you that when we went down to town hall we were told that the warehouse near ours was up for sale, it could easily be segregated into living quarters.” She paused sipping some more wine before continuing, ”Apparently it is a requirement that we purchase the whole lot including the contents site unseen, but the price is pretty cheap. The rumor is the owner had a disagreement with his wife and her brothers are out to get him.”

Quickly stripping out of her clothes, leaving the amulet around her neck as her only clothing, she relaxes in front of the fire, and slowly begins to tease herself, slowly manipulating her sex with a pair of fingers, taking it very slowly and carefully... an exercise in self control for her.<br><br>Damion seems a little surprised at their eagerness to jump to his request, though, on reflection, he should expect it of them, by now. He notes Annah's lack of panties, and pieces together their interactions through the evening, smiling wider. "I never imagined you were so naughty..." he murmurs to Marisa, before groaning lightly at her tongue, playing across his skin, closing his eyes and recalling memories form life, bringing the experience to its fullest.

				Gazing up into his eyes, she whispered, ”The two of you bringing it out in me,” as she enveloped his length in the warmth of her mouth, sucking long and slow. She could hear the moans elicited from their lover directly behind her and only hoped she would put on a good show for their vampire.<br><br>Long strokes of the tongue, sucking with the throat, she would try and make him last longer than he normally did, which she knew could take a while, but tonight was about him and her love for him.

Annah moans, as well, obviously resisting the urge to finish herself off, though it's hard with such an erotic scene, playing out before her. So close to the warmth of the fire, and the exertion of keeping herself from finishing, she's covered in a sheen of sweat, glinting in the firelight, her skin matching her hair, where the fire reflects.

				The barmaid cried out with the sudden shift, spreading her legs as far as they could go, ignore all pain as she stretched them far and wide exposing herself completely to the thief. She cried out at once with just the barest of touches against her clit and when she felt those teeth nipping at her, she climaxed unexpectedly, finger clutching at the headboard as she fought the urge to close her legs, wanting more. ”Harder, please, Annah, don’t stop.”

				Annah doesn't let up in the slightest, bearing down just a little harder with her teeth, wanting to err on the side of caution, as she slides two fingers inside her partner, thrusting quickly into her, pounding aggressively. She doesn't let up until Marisa's climaxes end, then proceeds to lap up her juices eagerly, leaving her fingers covered, grinning up at her all the while.

				Screaming until her throat is raw,&nbsp; her body so taut she knew it would ache even before she collapsed against the covers, exhausted and satiated, her eyes meeting Annah’s as she watched her tongue slide between her legs. Each time she curled about the barmaid’s clit, Marisa shivered and gasped a cute little sigh.

				Finished, the thief slowly crawls back up her body, taking her time, leaning down to kiss or lick various parts of her skin as she passes by, until she meets with her lips again, giving her a long, deep kiss. Breaking it, she meets her gaze again, holding up her fingers, still wet with Marisa's nectar. "Mm... so good... would you like to taste yourself?" she asks, grinning, holding the fingers close to her mouth.

				Shivering and squirming beneath the thief it is all she can do to keep from telling the younger woman to stop, wavering between wanting the sensations to last forever and to stop completely. Eyes ablaze with lust, the barmaid wrapped her legs about Annah and whispered softly, hesitant at first, her voice shy ”Yes.” Her tongue snaked out slid up the fingers, tasting herself for the first time, she was a little saltier than Annah and a little less tangy.

				As if she were licking candy from a stick, Marisa curled her tongue about the thief’s fingers, suckling upon the digits noisily until she could no longer taste herself upon them. Grinning from ear to ear, she released those fingers and kissed the thief before answering the question, pressing her lips none-to-gently against Annah’s lips only stopping when breath became necessary, which was sooner than she would have liked. Idly brushing her fingers along Annah’s hip, she looked into those eyes, ”Well we could sleep in each other’s arms, talk into the night or take turns tying each other up and having our way, depends how tired you are, my love.”

Soon, she had fallen fast asleep, the kitten soon joining the girls on the bed, curling up on top of them and purring softly.<br><br>Hours passed, the house remained silent, the sun passed overhead, not a creature stirred within until the sun was slipping behind the mountains. Marisa yawned and stretched, dislodging the cat, who grumbled until the barmaid scratched behind her ears.

Grinning at the vampire, she slid a hand underneath the covers and began caress and fondle her breasts, motioning to him that he should join them in bed.

As she did so, she wrapped her own leg against Damion’s legs, swaying her hips in a circular motion against him.
