allowed to look at Alejandro, he’s the only person allowed to touch Alejandro, and he’s the only person allowed to speak to Alejandro. Everything that is Alejandro Guevara belongs to Caleb and Caleb alone.

“Hey.” Caleb comes up behind him while he’s sitting at his computer working and gently touches his shoulder.

Alejandro jumps a little in surprise, but then quickly takes Caleb’s hand before he can pull it away. “Hey.” He says quietly back before gently kissing Caleb’s hand. “You didn’t come by for lunch, did something happen?”

“Just work.” Caleb rests his chin on Alejandro’s head of black, curly hair while wrapping his arms around him, “Did you already eat?”

Alejandro laughs, “Love, it’s almost one in the morning. Yes, I ate already. Did you?”

“No.” Caleb admits like a child caught not eating his vegetables.

Alejandro inhales and then sighs while shaking his head. “Alright.” He stands up and before Caleb can move away Alejandro picks him up by the waist.

Alejandro is just shy of six feet and is built with thick muscles, Caleb who is only five-six and has the lightest, most delicate features possible is lightweight to him. Despite Caleb’s loud protest to be put down Alejandro insists on carrying him to the kitchen and setting him down only on the table. Then he digs through his drawers until he finds a sharp knife.

“Here,” he hands the knife to Caleb, “All the usual biting places are still a bit raw so you can just cut me somewhere.”

“Hmm, you’re letting me choose tonight?” Caleb smiles and looks over Alejandro trying to decide where he wants to cut. He finally gently draws the blade over Alejandro’s wrist and

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

creates a thin horizontal cut across it deep enough for the blood to start immediately rushing past the opening.

Alejandro is so used to the pain that he doesn’t even flinch when Caleb cuts him or when Caleb brings his wrist to his mouth and begins to drink the blood. While Caleb has his wrist Alejandro uses that hand to caress Caleb’s face while he leans in and kisses his neck. With his other free hand Alejandro begins to massage Caleb’s groins giving him a hard on.

“Mmm.” Caleb lets go of Alejandro’s wrist after he’s finished prompting Alejandro to twist his head to the side and the two kiss. Caleb still has the rich taste of blood in his mouth, but his familiar is used to that as well and it doesn’t deter him from sliding his tongue across Caleb’s and deepening the moment, but then Caleb moves away, “Clean up your wrist. I don’t want you bleeding out on me.”

Alejandro smiles with a sigh, “Whatever you say.” He backs off and goes to the kitchen proper where he has bandages stored. Every room in the apartment is stocked with first aid supplies tucked away in drawers for convenience.

Caleb watches him while he patches himself up. The cut is already on its way to healing because the saliva of purebred vampires has slight regenerative properties that helps ease the pain of their familiars so Alejandro has little to do besides cover it with an adhesive bandage. When he’s done Alejandro doesn’t hesitate to go back to Caleb and begin kissing him again.

Caleb is an individual who purposefully alienates himself from other people and in his loneliness forces Alejandro to the same isolation to foster a dependency so the two both live on the outskirts of society. As far as either of them care they are the only two people that exist so they are equally desperate for one another.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Their movements start off slow and tender, but quickly build up to them both pulling clothing off as they grope and touch each other in heated passion. Caleb doesn’t protest when Alejandro lifts him up again and carries him to the bedroom. When they get there Alejandro has already lost his t-shirt. He sets Caleb down on the bed that takes up ninety percent of the bedroom and starts to undo the buttons on his shirt, he pauses for a second though to slowly undo Caleb’s binder.

Caleb lets out a loud sigh of relief as the binder falls to the ground and lays down on the bed. For the moment the only thing he wants is to just lay there and relax, to unwind from the long day. As much as Caleb hates having breasts he actually hates his binder more, but he had made the mistake before of thinking that it wouldn’t bother anyone to not wear it at work. The end result had been a barrage of pathetic jokes and even more stares to the point where he never goes to work without wearing it because the alternative is too bothersome. The fact is that all purebred vampires are hermaphrodites and their femininity and masculinity is completely random leaving the species much more open to the idea that gender is a spectrum.

Alejandro lays next to Caleb and nibbles his chest to leave a hickey just above his collarbone.

“So it was a rough day at work.” Alejandro confirms from Caleb’s mood.

Caleb looks over at him, “I got a new partner.”

“Wow, that’s like the sixth one since I’ve known you. Why don’t you just work with a halfling again?”

“Because vampires can’t be officially hired by the government and halflings don’t get an allowance from their mother to pay the rent.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Right. So who’s the schmuck working with you now?”

“Her name is Sophie Free.”

“Oh, a girl, nice. Is she hot?”

Caleb laughs at Alejandro’s pretend interest, “She’s a solid eight on the outside, a nine and a half on the inside. She is the most naive, sincerest detective I’ve ever encountered.”

“Wow, that’s high praise coming from. Why only nine and a half then?”

“Fredrick is using her to spy on me.”

“Bahahahaha!” Alejandro rolls onto his back and laughs loudly.

“Not funny.” Caleb hits him.

“No, it’s hilarious. He’s worse than your mother. Maybe you should take him up on one of his offers to have dinner with his family.”

“And miss dinner with you?” Caleb fires back with a kiss.

“Or I could go with you…” Alejandro trails off, but with a single tense look from Caleb just smiles, “Kidding.” he lies. “I know the rules.” He adds to fend off a lecture, “No contact with other people…” Alejandro traces one of Caleb’s collarbones down to his breast and then to his belly button leaving it suggestively close to his waist. “Except the delivery guy who dropped off a new toy this afternoon.” He grins wickedly.

Caleb raises his eyebrows, “And what type of toy have you gotten us this time?”

“A really, really fun one.” Alejandro kisses Caleb on the mouth real quick before moving over him to dig out the package he’d already shoved into their sex drawer. “It’s a special type of vibrator.”
