Chapter Twelve of
Vampires Vampires Vampires
, a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet attends a ball.
~
“I know some of these old fish,” said Uncle Jack. “But the young minnows have me at a loss. Who’re those pale little slips yonder?”
Malory gave thanks that his uncle merely jerked his chin at the family in question rather than pointing with hand or hook. “The Throckmortons. You might remember their late father.”
“Ah, yes—a broth of a boy!”
As his uncle did not see fit to explain that remark, Malory continued as if he hadn’t heard it.

Chapter Ten of
Vampires Vampires Vampires
, a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet has a visitor in the night.
~
The lonely sleep of a bachelor baronet bereft of bosom companionship did not come easily to Malory. Even more than a year later. Many a night he spent staring up into the darkness waiting for unpleasant dreams to claim him.
As such, on this particular night, the slight scratching sound at his window proved more than enough to rouse him.

Ch. 9 - Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!
Chapter Nine of
Vampires Vampires Vampires
, a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun confess and consummate.
~
“Do you regret it?”
Malory caught his apology on his tongue. Of course he regretted any discomfort or embarrassment he’d caused. Yet the bo’sun did not appear discomforted or embarrassed. A gleam of intrigue lit up those dark and compelling eyes, and the ghost of a smile played at the corners of those full lips which Malory wished to kiss again. The memory of last night, the taste of wine and salt and the intoxicating scent of another man’s musk, threatened to overwhelm him even now.
“Do you regret it?” Malory echoed at last.
The bo’sun gave him a considering look. “I only regret you were not sober.”
Malory didn’t dare to hope he’d heard him correctly. Yet he heard himself reply, “I’m sober now.”
