The walkback to his room was…different. Every step felt like he was walking on a cloud. He had never been so relaxed in his life. Bash worked on the code to his door twice but each time it beeped and the little red light flashed.

What was it?

He tried it again and the red light mocked him once more.Aw damn it.Why couldn’t he remember it?

“Bash? You okay over there?”

Eldon peered at him curiously when he looked up and the big, bear shifter grinned at him. The vampire raised a brow.

“You’re really hot, you know that, Eldon?” Bash said. “I think about it all the time when I see you downstairs. And then I wonder what it would be like to fuck a vampire. Maybe even get bitten by one.”

A bemused expression filled Eldon’s face. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you string together so many words at one time. Are you feeling alright? Did you have a few drinks?”

Bash shook his head and moved over to Eldon. The vampire backed himself up against a wall, his eyes going wide as Bash gazed down at him. Eldon was tall, but he still had an inch or three on him.

“No, nothing like that,” Bash said as he reached out and toyed with Eldon’s dark hair. He leaned forward and whispered against Eldon’s ear. “Gamble had some special brownies out and I ate a couple of them.”

“Is that right?” Eldon asked, his voice choked. “Bash, uh, back up a little.”

“Why?” the bear asked as he gazed at Eldon.

The vampire licked his lip, the light bouncing off of his shiny tongue ring. “You should be lying down and I have to yell at a certain witch,” he said, avoiding eye contact. “Where is he?”

Bash nodded toward the door. “Inside.”

Eldon reached over and knocked on the door hard. His gaze flickered up to Bash’s and the bear grinned at him even harder. He could see the fire raging in Eldon’s eyes and he wanted to toy with the vampire. The door opened and distracted them both.

“There you go,” Gamble sighed. “I thought you were- shit,” he said when his eyes landed on Eldon. “Busted.”

“Yeah, you really are,” Eldon said as he pressed a palm in the center of Bash’s chest and pushed him back. “You got the bear high?” he asked, jerking a thumb toward Bash.

“It wasn’t my fault!”

“Where’s the rest of it?” Eldon asked.

“Kitchen. Don’t worry, I spun an illusion around them this time; no one even knows they’re there.”

Eldon shook his head and grabbed hold of Bash’s arm. He dragged the man inside and that sent heat all over Bash’s body. As Eldon stood there lecturing Gamble, he stared at the vampire’s throat. He leaned forward and sniffed his neck before his tongue flicked out and he tasted Eldon’s skin.

“Fuck!” Eldon panted and whirled around to look at Bash. “Did you just lick me?”

“I was wondering what you taste like,” Bash said as he took a step toward Eldon. “You always bite other people and so I started thinkingwhat if he likes being bitten too. But I didn’t get to that point yet.”

“Yet?” Gamble asked.

“Shut up,” Eldon said as he glared at the witch. “Get out.”

“No way,” Gamble said as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Bash told me to watch over him and help him ride this out. Besides, I don’t want to miss a second of the show.”

Eldon shivered as Bash reached out and traced his fingers down his throat. “W-what show? There’s no show!”

“Bullshit,” Gamble said.

“I agree with Gamble,” Bash said as he closed the space between him and Eldon. “Bullshit. You want me to touch you.” He leaned forward and gripped Eldon’s chin as he gazed into his eyes. “No, you want a hell of a lot more than that.”

“Bash, what are you- Mmm.”
