"No!Of course not.Why would I think about biting?"
Thano remained unmoving for a second, then he raised his upper lip a fraction, so the tips of his fangs became visible.Eli stared at him, then he leaned a little closer.He gently ran the pad of his thumb over Thano's lip, which left a burning trail in his wake.Then pushed a little, revealing more of his fang.To Thano's surprise, he leaned closer still and kissed the corner of Thano's mouth, then trailed his lower lip with his tongue before dipping inside.
"I meant it's dangerous because if they catch us together, they'll hang us."He spoke against Thano's lips."Or me at least.I guess you can go invisible and escape."He kissed him again, and Thano hooked both his arms around Eli's neck, and to his delight, Eli picked him up.With his large hands on Thano's ass, he moved farther into the kitchen.He kicked a chair out from the table and sat with Thano on his lap.
"I won't let them take you."Thano struggled to get out of his suit jacket.Eli helped and got started on the buttons of his shirt while Thano peeled the fabric off.Soon he was naked from the waist up, and Eli looked into his eyes before undoing the button in his pants.
Thano leaned back to give him room as he pulled the zipper down and released his hard length.Thano groaned as Eli wrapped his fingers around him and gave him a slow pump.
"Works the same as on a human, right?"Eli struggled to push down the waistband of his own underwear.He danced a little on the chair underneath Thano, shifting his weight to one side then the other until he had his cock and balls free.Then he wrapped an arm around Thano's hips and pulled him closer.He fisted both their lengths in his hand and tugged at them.
Thano rocked his hips, seeking friction, and groaning as he looked at the flushed heads pushing through Eli's fist.Tingles danced down his spine.
"Fuck."He dug his fingers into Eli's shoulder.
"I think this is enough for now."Eli was panting, and Thano watched in fascination as precome trickled down their length and wet Eli's hand.He squeezed his thighs against Eli's as electricity sparked around them.Heat consumed him, and he had to stop himself from clawing at Eli.
He had to be careful, had to make sure he didn't hurt him.Eli wasn't strong enough to throw him off should he do something that pained him.
When Eli looked into his eyes with blown pupils and rosy cheeks, Thano smashed his lips against his.So hot.The scent of them filled the kitchen, and Thano pressed closer.When he realized he made it harder for Eli to jerk them off he moved back a fraction and rocked into Eli's hold.A strangled sound left him, and Thano squeezed his eyes shut.Desperation burned hot.The pleasure inside of him grew sharper.
"Eli."He opened his eyes to see Eli nodding, then he flung his head back as his back arched.The rapture took over his face as wetness hit Thano's abdomen and tumbled him into bliss.His entire being was swept up in the wave of pleasure, and he leaned forward, nuzzled Eli's neck until he found the edge of his beard.When there was skin underneath his mouth, he fastened his lips to it and sank his fangs into the warm flesh.
Eli jerked underneath him but didn't try to push him away as the first blood coated his tongue.He swallowed once, twice, then some of the fog in his brain lifted.Fuck, what was he doing?He swallowed again.Eli tasted amazing, and it had been too long since he fed.He swallowed again, shuddering as the pleasure of his release and the blood coursed through him.
When Eli ran a hand over his back, he forced himself to withdraw his fangs and lick the wound closed.He didn't look at Eli, instead he rested his forehead against his shoulder.Eli continued to caress his back with one hand, but the other, the sticky one, he brought to his neck and touched the bite.The skin was healed, but Thano had taken blood.
Should he remove Eli's memories?He didn't want to, it felt like a violation to mess with the memory of what they'd done, but what if Eli would be angry with him?
Slowly, he raised his head."Sorry."
Eli's eyes were wide, and the pleasure he'd seen there before was gone."It's...eh...okay?"
Fuck, he'd ruined things.Eli didn't look okay.Thano slowly moved off him.

Chapter 11
Eli couldn't move.There was jizz cooling on his skin, and normally it would leave him panicky, which was why he'd promised himself he wouldn't do stupid things like this again.His life wasn't worth a few fleeting moments of pleasure.But the others...He watched Romeo and Ciar when they came to shop or deliver meat, and while they weren't making out on an open street, there were the little touches, the secretsmiles, and sometimes Ciar sharingwaytoo much information.But when he did, Romeo would only shush him, blush, and then move on.
He should've realized it wasn't what was happening here, though.He was Thano's meal.Had he agreed to it?He didn't think so.Did vampires need permission?He touched his neck again, and Thano winced.
Had he scarred?Why wasn't he bleeding?
Thano moved to the refrigerator and yanked the door open.The shelves were empty other than a few eggs.He was so sick of eggs he could puke.
"This won't do."Thano opened one cupboard after the other, and Eli shivered.He was getting cold.He should get up, wash off, and put clothes on, but his body wouldn't obey.
"What's this?"Thano held up a glass jar Maria, Romeo's mother, had given him a few months ago.He'd been saving it.
"Apple sauce."
Thano pulled a pot out of the cupboard, grabbed rolled oats, and poured water over it.Then he found some salt in the spice cabinet and turned on the stove.He stirred without looking at Eli, and Eli didn't move, wasn't sure he breathed, though he must have.
Grabbing an egg from the refrigerator, Thano cracked it into the oatmeal while he continued to stir.
Shortly after, he placed a bowl on the counter and poured the oatmeal porridge into it.Then he opened the jar and scooped up a large amount of apple sauce into the bowl before placing it in front of Eli."Eat."
