Vampires’ Sector, Planet Earth, 2755, C.E
After two weeks apart, Val Cutter and Xeke Doran wasted no
time talking. Val, already hard, welcomed Xeke back with a bruising kiss. His
fangs descended and ached to taste the other man’s rich blood. Xeke’s erection
ground into Val’s as both men sank deeper into their embrace.
Val couldn’t wait. With one quick movement he freed his
lover’s cock and took him in his mouth. Xeke groaned, thrusting his hips for
more and grabbing a hank of Val’s dark hair.
“Oh, yeah, just like that,” Xeke panted.
Val gloried in the taste and scent of his lover. He swirled
his tongue around the engorged head of Xeke’s dick and nibbled, making sure not
to bite too hard. Though Val wanted to taste Xeke’s cum before he fed fully, he
wanted the first rapture of their being together to last.
“I want to feel you all over.” Xeke’s words were barely
louder than a whisper.
Val wanted the same. Later, he’d feast on Xeke’s nipples and
his balls, take the time to trail kisses over his body. Hell, after Xeke’s
mission to the Human Sector, they both deserved a week off for bad behavior.
Xeke caressed Val’s head, pressing him closer to his
burgeoning cock. Val’s erection was near the edge, but he didn’t want to come
until he was in the other man. Now Val grabbed Xeke’s gorgeous ass and began to
finger the crease, playing with the sensitive puckers.
Xeke inhaled hard and spread his legs to give Val more room
to play. Now Xeke arced back and forth to maximize his pleasure at both ends.
Knowing that his lover was about to explode, Val tongued the thick vein on the
underside of his shaft and brushed his fangs over the sensitive head.
Muttering the incoherent words that always signaled his
orgasm, Xeke let it all go, flooding Val’s mouth with his cum in a series of
spurts. In anticipation of the feed to come, Val drank his lover’s cum and
scrupulously licked his cock and balls.
Xeke was still shuddering from the force of his release when
Val rose and embraced the other man from behind. Trailing kisses down Xeke’s
back, Val ended at this ass. His tongue still bearing the taste of his lover’s
cum, he licked his crease until the puckered skin gleamed. Then, cock aching
for release, he slipped one finger into Xeke’s tight passage. Xeke arced back
to make it deeper, harder. “Forget the finger. I want you, Val.”
Horny as he was, Val didn’t question the invite. He traced
the crease, then pushed his cock into the opening. “All of you. Now,” Xeke
ordered.
His lover was so wet, Val slid right in and stopped. Xeke’s
warm tightness, his scent and the feel of his skin... He’d come in a moment if
he didn’t exert all his force to hold back. Waves of pleasure rode his shaft as
he thrust his dick into Xeke’s intimate passage.
Xeke, hard again, circled Val’s cock as he fisted his own.
Erotic sensation sparked Val like a thousand live wires. No way he could hold
back. He exploded in an orgasm that had been building far too long. Too soon,
but there’d be more. First, though, they’d feed off each other.
Before Val could sink his fangs into Xeke’s neck, the other
man’s communicator emitted an emergency signal.
“Shit. I’ve gotta take this,” Xeke muttered, pulling away.
So recently hot, Val shivered. He didn’t like the expression on Xeke’s face.
Xeke’s erection was gone. “Just heard from the chief.” Xeke
worked for a covert security organization. “That bastard Retkove’s got the
human’s whole supply of llidirium-z. If we don’t get it back to them, they’ll
declare war.”.
Val scowled. “Don’t go yet. What difference would another
hour make?”
Xeke laughed without mirth. “The humans have a ticking
clock. If I don’t provide proof at 0500 that I’ve seized the chemical and will
return it, they’ll attack. No way they can win that battle, but they’re not
listening to reason.”
Val rolled his eyes. “Not even Ideg Retkove can be that
depraved. I’ll talk to him, get him to return it. But first, let’s feed. It’s
been too long.” He reached for Xeke who moved out of range.
“Retkove is demanding five trillion gorderii for returning
the llidirium-z. Plus he wants the humans to provide annual tribute.”
“Maybe the bastard’s finally lost it,” Val hissed. “But the
elders have to know what he’s plotting.”
“He’s managed to keep his theft and his threats hidden. It’s
too late now to make a case against him. The elders will view the offensive as
unprovoked and destroy the human sector.”
“What the hell will Retkove get out of it?”
Xeke shrugged. “In addition to the joy of seeing humans fry,
he’ll have a huge stockpile of llidirium-z. Hell, humans on every planet need
the stuff. We’ve got to seize the supply and get it back to human sector here.
Pronto. You with me?”
“Make war not love,” Val muttered. “I know how to talk to
him. Let me try that first.”
Xeke touched Val’s shoulder. “Fifteen minutes. If you can’t
convince him quickly, I’ll break in and liberate the stuff.”
Val didn’t like it, but the mission had to come first.
* * *
“What brings you here, big guy?” Ideg Retkove devoured Val
with his eyes.
The mere visual contact felt like a shower of slime.
Motivated by the mission and his need to be with Xeke, Val bit back his
revulsion. “I understand you have something our allies in the human sector
regard as crucial.”
Retkove’s eyes flickered. “I see this is a business call.”
He reached out a claw and touched Val’s shoulder.
Val flinched away. “The humans are ready to die to get the
stuff back.”
“And so they shall. But no sense letting their pathetic
plight interfere with civilized manners. We can discuss your evident concerns
over a fine blend I’ve just gotten. Three rare blood types combined. We can
drink, talk business and then…” His eyes glittered with desire.
Val couldn’t give in to his personal disgust. “Time is a
factor here, Retkove. Give me the stuff now so we can defuse the situation.
I’ll come back and drink with you after.”
Retkove cocked a brow. “You’ll come back and drink with me?
Does that offer include a night with you in my bed?”
Val growled. He had to string Retkove along to get the
llidirium-z back, but there was no way he’d even pretend he’d have sex with
him. “We can have the drink and talk…”
Just then lights flashed and a loud, keening alarm flooded
the room.
“What --” Val started
Retkove jumped up and raced over to his bank of computers.
He pressed several keys and a giant screen flashed an image. Bloody hell. Val
cursed the universe and Retkove. Xeke hadn’t waited. Five guards now had him in
their grip. Val had to save him.
“It appears your companion has attempted to take the
llidirium-z into his own hands,” Retkove purred.
“Order the guards to let him go. We can fix this.” Val’s
fists were clenched, and it took all his strength not to grab Retkove and kill
him.
“Really? Though I’d love to hear how you propose to do that,
the guards have orders. Capture and kill. Not even I can interfere.” Retkove
watched the screen with morbid fascination. The creep even had a hard-on.
Val seized Retkove around the neck. “If Xeke is harmed, I’ll
destroy you.”
Retkove rubbed his cock against Val’s hip. “Got a silver
stake hidden in your pants?”
Despite his aversion and the rising sense of panic, Val held
on to Retkove. He kneed him in the balls, which Retkove took as encouragement. The
horror unfolded on the screen. Though Xeke struggled valiantly, in moments the
guards subdued him, staked him and set him on fire.
Sick with despair, Val tightened his hold on Retkove’s neck.
The bastard was gasping. Val knew he’d need a stake or fire to destroy Retkove.
He figured after he subdued him, he’d drag his body elsewhere and finish him
off.
Val was so intent on inflicting bodily harm, he didn’t hear
Retkove’s guards until two grabbed him and dragged him off Retkove. He fought
them and was just about free when four more joined the fray. Meanwhile, Retkove
stood rubbing his neck with one hand and his cock with the other. “I do like it
rough, Val, but you got carried away there. Hey, we’ll get it right, next
time.”
Val spat. Before he could say anything, a guard had gagged
him. His mind whirled with the reality of his situation. The scum had killed
Xeke. In a short time Retkove would be responsible for massive death in the
human sector. Val struggled to bust out of his chains as yet more guards
arrived.
“Don’t worry, Val. You’ll have a fair trial. Until then, I’m
afraid you’re too dangerous to be free. So you’ll be my prisoner.” Retkove
smirked as he continued to fist himself.
Dragged off in chains, all Val could think of was Xeke’s
horrific death. Determined to avenge his lover, Val plotted all through the
night in Retkove’s dank dungeon. The bastard would pay with his life for Xeke’s
death and all his other crimes.
