bonds as he approached my bed. His handsome face clouded with sadness as he looked down at me.
    “Poor mortal,” he whispered. “Why are they doing this to you?”
    His compassion surprised and shocked me. “Help me, please,” I pleaded, but he shook his head, looking at the hard, ugly faces of those who stood around him.
    “I am sorry…but I will be gentle,” he murmured, his lips close to my ear. “Close your eyes…” I felt his lips on my throat, his tongue gently licking the skin over my jugular vein.
    His nearness sent a visceral thrill through my body. His scent intoxicated me. His touch caused me to grow hard with desire. When his teeth pierced my skin, and I felt him suck the blood from me, the overwhelming urge to break free of my bonds and crush him to me tore a great guttural cry of ecstasy from deep within my soul.
    “Enough!”
    They pulled him away from me. He snarled at them, then his eyes met mine, and he smiled, I think to give me courage. My bonds were loosened, and I was allowed to sit up.
    Dazed and disoriented as I was, I reached for the young vampire and grasped his hand. He leaned over me, and I saw that a deep cut had been inflicted on his chest over his left nipple.
    He sat astride my thighs, put his hand behind my head and pulled me towards him.
    “Drink,” he said quietly. “Drink and live.”
    I licked the blood that oozed from the cut, surprised by its richness and sweet taste.
    Then my lips closed over the wound, and I sucked as he held my head close to his chest.
    Once more, I was filled with an almost uncontrollable sexual desire. I pressed myself to him, thrilled to feel his erection throb against mine. His body shuddered, and I knew he had ejaculated just as I now did, sending streams of semen pumping up between our torsos.

    Vaguely, I was aware of the grunts and cackles of satisfaction coming from the black shrouded monsters who stood around us, witnessing this entire scene with the utmost pleasure. The vampire was pulled off me and thrown to the ground. I sensed that my drinking his blood had weakened him, for he did not immediately jump to his feet but lay there, panting, trying to regain his strength. Two guards entered the room and dragged him away. I prayed they were not going to harm him.
    “Now, Joseph…” The Master’s ugliness was increased as he smiled at me, showing
    blackened stumps where teeth should have been. “Your indoctrination has begun. When it is over, you will be blessed by eternal life and beauty. That which you now possess will never fade. You will remain young forever. The vampire we chose to imbue you with his blood is blessed, or cursed, which ever you prefer, with an extremely powerful strain.”
    “Am I then to be a vampire like him?”
    “Not as long as you remain with us. Our magic will control the transition, giving you immortality, but without the unfortunate flaws vampires must endure.”
    Then, not knowing very much about vampires, except that I had thought they were
    beings to be deathly afraid of, I was unaware of what he meant. That knowledge would come later.
    The following night they brought the vampire to me again, this time leaving us alone, with only the guards stationed outside to stop any escape attempt either of us might make.
    He sat by my side and regarded me with some fondness in his eyes. He told me his name was Bernard.
    “How did this happen to you?” he asked with a tenderness I would not have expected from the likes of him. He smiled as he read the thought. “We are not all rabid monsters, Joseph. Some of us follow a different mode of belief—that those who give us life have the right to live. The man who changed me, Marcus Verano, taught me that.”
    I gripped his arm. “You know Marcus? Oh, tell me where he is, please.”
    “Sadly, I do not know. Far from here, I’m afraid. Far beyond my powers to reach him with my thoughts. How do you know him?”
    I told him of our brief
