TrinityWhen I entered the room, the man from the bar was seated in the room. My face heated as I eyed the breadth of his shoulders and thought about the dream. He was definitely bigger than me. I could bet that he was about as large as the man in my dream. Maybe the dream had been so vague because I hadn’t slept with anyone so large before. I pulled away from that thought and kept my gaze from dropping to his lap. He was wearing a different suit, and I was definitely sure that there was something different about his eyes now that we were in the light. They were strangely warm hazel with flecks of red gold or something. They were beautiful but strange and otherworldly. “This… isn’t what I really meant by calling me if you were in the city,” I said. “How did you find me?”He titled his head. “I wanted to see a psychiatrist. They said you were available, so here I am.”“I’m not… a psychiatrist.”He shrugged. “Every master started as a student, and the clerks in front did not seem to
Lucianus I left her breathless and sated that night, but I was anything but. No matter how deep I buried my cock in her body and made her cry out in pleasure, it wasn’t enough. I couldn’t stand it anymore. Just the taste of her pleasure, even without the blood slave mark, had been enough to make me want more. It was like the forbidden fruit of immortality that could drive someone to madness. My wife was dead, yet I could have her in some small through this woman. Perhaps I should have stayed the course and refused this course of action. It would have been for the best, but it was too late now. I could not kill her; thus, I would have her in every way that I could not have my wife. I would simply have to accept that her death would do nothing but further irritate me in the end. I figured out that Salt Lake City was several hours by human transportation away from the place where we met again, but there was a portal in my world that would take me there in a little under a few moment
Trinity After the man left, I didn’t know what to say, but I was also very curious. What did he mean by all that? More than that, why did I get the sense that there was more to his story than just him mourning the loss of his wife?I felt compelled to see him again, to figure him out, but I wasn’t sure if that was a good idea. Whatever his real problems were, they were way beyond my training at this point. I looked down at the notes and frowned, realizing that his name wasn’t on the page. Something tingled at the back of my mind as if I knew what should be there but couldn’t quite say what it was. Days passed, and it seemed that the police came by to speak to me nearly every day. There were different officers every day, but they all asked most of the same questions. “No, I hadn’t seen him since the trip where he tried to assault me in the bar.” I swallowed, looking at the officers. “No, I don’t know if the bar had surveillance you can check, but there were other people there from
Lucianus I didn’t smile as she looked truly haunted. She looked devastated. I couldn’t guess what she was thinking, but her expression gave me a sense of pending victory. She needed something. I could feel her fear and desperation through the blood-slave bond, and it felt absolutely delicious. I couldn’t wait to have her that desperate for more than just money and whatever she needed it for. It didn’t feel as though she just needed money to survive, but it was something else. An unexpected expense, I supposed. “Yes,” I said. “Why?”She hesitated and looked down at the ground. “What would I have to do?”I eyed her. “Blood.”She frowned and looked up at me. “Blood?”“So long as you provide a cup of blood for my friend’s company every ten days, you’ll be paid 50,000 per donation.” Her eyes widened. I felt her hope and apprehension spiraling through my blood and took hold of it, tugging at it gently to get a better sense of how much she needed and what it would take to get her to agr
Trinity He had the driver take us to the hospital next, and I signed the documents with the clerk at the front desk, who seemed to be completely disinterested in being even a little kind. He rolled his eyes and started processing the paperwork when I asked for a payment plan.“If you can’t pay it, then we’ll transfer him. We only give treatment after we’ve been paid.”My stomach churned. The person who called me from my father’s phone seemed shocked. I heard the doctors tell me that they’d put him on the schedule for the next hour for his operation because I had given them the authorization. The clerk said nothing more about it.I couldn’t believe this was all happening. It would take a few days for the funds to clear my account, but I didn’t care. It would probably take a few days for them to process the payment, and even if it only took them a day, my bank would probably front the money as soon as they verified the source of it. I was waved over to the waiting room, and I hoped t
Trinity Mark got back into the city a few hours after he called based on his text message. I wanted to ask where he’d been, but I didn’t get a chance, and based on how he’d left, I doubted he would tell me. Maybe it had something to do with my case, but I had a feeling that if that were the case, he would have just told me. I took a taxi back to his house, where he said we’d meet. His patrol car was parked in front, so I headed inside. The scent of alcohol and blood was faint in the air. I closed the door and walked into the living room. I found him lying across the couch with his feet up and an ice pack on his head. He was shirtless in just a pair of pants. I hadn’t ever realized how chiseled he was. It had been years since I’d seen him shirtless. He wasn’t the little boy down the hall anymore but a full-grown man. The more I thought about it, the more I wondered why I didn’t find him more attractive. It wasn’t that he wasn’t attractive. He was pretty handsome, but I felt no stir
Lucianus It was time to take her blood again. I was meant to pick her up. I had never imagined meeting the man she was living with. His hostility filled the air between us, along with the scent of his blood. I looked him over with a curious eye. He looked like he’d gotten into an accident, but there was the lingering scent of metal on him, like a knife and wood. More than that, his eyes narrowed at me with such suspicion, and his presence gave me pause. This human was much more than he seemed.“Please come in,” Trinity said, checking her phone. “I guess I lost track of time… I thought it was tomorrow?”“Later today,” I said. “I am simply early.”She smiled with relief and nodded, stepping aside to welcome me into the house. I stepped into the house, eyeing Mark, who stumbled back and away from me, still grasping his gun. He hobbled away as Trinity closed the door behind me, and he disappeared around the corner. The house was simple, clean, and a bit bare. Mark’s scent was faint in
TrinityLucian stood as I adjusted my bag. Mark came back with a plate full of food and sat down, glaring at Lucian. “When will you be back?” Mark asked stiffly. “Soon,” I said and shook my head as my phone rang. It was the hospital. I turned away. “I’ve got to take this. We can go right after.”“Of course,” Lucian said, seemingly relaxed in his set. Lucian didn’t seem bothered, but there was definitely tension between the two of them. I sighed and shook my head. I couldn’t do anything about it right now. I answered the phone. “Hello?” “Is this Trinity?”“Yes.”“I’m calling about your father. He’s woken up.”I gasped and turned to look at Lucian. “I’ll be there soon.”I shoved my phone into my pocket and grabbed my jacket before turning to Lucian and Mark. “Could we make a stop at the hospital? Dad’s woken up.”Mark stopped midbite and looked at me. “I could take you.”“You need rest,” I said, shaking my head. “And I was already heading out. We can go together later. I’ll call yo
