Free Lust Bites by Kristina Lloyd

cat,' said Simeon. 'Renfield's just unusual, that's all. Do you want me to purr?'
    'Oh, yes please.'
    For a while, the two of them stayed like that, Simeon with his head in Suzanne's lap, making rumbling noises in his throat as she raked his hair.
    'Where is Renfield?' asked Simeon. 'I haven't seen him all day.'
    'Dunno. Probably out mousing or whatever you'd call it up here. Can I put plaits in your hair?'
    'Do what you want with me, babes,' murmured Simeon.
    'Slut,' said Suzanne affectionately.
    She drew strands of hair into thin threads and wove a slim plait which, because Simeon's hair was in such great condition, came half undone as soon as she released it.
    'If you ask me,' said Simeon, 'the fact we've got a vampire cat should be our main worry. If anything's going to give the game away, it's Renfield, not you capturing a mortal and trying to keep him.'
    'Totally agree. I think Billy was way over the top,' said Suzanne. 'One person wouldn't hurt, surely. And we're so well hidden here. They'll never find us.'
    'I know,' sympathised Simeon. 'Oh, and Doug was such a bear. I really wanted to keep him. Our very own sex and blood slave.'
    'Don't, it's not fair,' said Suzanne. 'He was hot. And such a yummy cock. It's been ages since I've tasted fresh meat.'
    'You only got here the other week!' exclaimed Simeon. 'Ouch,' he added, touching his lip.
    'Yeah, but I'm greedy,' replied Suzanne. 'And I'm not used to Blud. Hell, I wish Billy hadn't kicked off. Doug was lovely. Boy, he fucked me like a man possessed, like Billy does when he's on form.'
    'I know. That was awesome. God, I so wanted it to be my turn next.'
    'I'm getting hungry,' said Suzanne. 'Really hungry. Maybe we should think about leaving, Sim. It's the first sunrise soon. Isn't that usually your cue to start making a move?'
    'Ha,' scoffed Simeon. 'Like we might leave while she's still around.'
    Suzanne sighed and smoothed a hand across Simeon's forehead. 'Maybe we should bail and leave him to it. We could get to the coast under our own steam then head down to Kangerlussuaq. We could be on a flight to the States in a few days, maybe stay with Christophe and the guys in New York. I'm not really into all this returning to your roots shit. I mean, the temperature's nice here but that's as far as it goes.'
    Simeon turned, squirming till he was comfortable and facing Suzanne's golden-haired groin. 'Tempting,' he said. He wriggled a finger into the slippery lips of her sex, trailing upwards to roll her clit. 'But the west coast's still some distance off, you know.'
    'Mmm,' said Suzanne, half pleasure, half agreement. 'We could take my skidoo.'
    'Sun's coming up any day now,' said Simeon. 'We'd need to be protected.'
    'We could take one of the blackout tents,' said Suzanne.
    Simeon gazed at Suzanne's clit as he fretted. 'It's quite a journey, babes,' he said. 'But, yeah. Maybe we could.'
    Suzanne parted her thighs a fraction wider. 'Definitely we could,' she purred. 'All we'd need is a good meal inside us first.'
    Billy was starting to realise that Blud had its limitations. If you wanted merely to exist, to operate in a state of vampiric numbness then Blud was your man, no problem. But if you wanted to thrive, to suffer and soar and to taste it all, then only human blood would do.
    Since the birth of Esther, Billy had been living half a life. He'd been traipsing around the world's coldest, loneliest parts, resisting what he needed in a bid to resist her. It would've been better if she'd never been reborn. And yet all his vampire-life, ever since he'd killed her on the rim of the fountain, he'd been longing for her return.
    She tormented him. It pained him that he'd killed her. It pained him that he'd once intended making her a vampire because, older and wiser, he could see that was an act of selfishness, not love. And this pain wouldn't leave him. He'd loved and fucked a lot of people after Selin, too many to count. Some he could remember well, others had faded or
