his beer, he took a nice long drink, taunting the vamp with a clear view of his neck. He swallowed the beer, licking his lips to remove the foam he could feel bubbling against his upper lip.
    “Hi, sugar, I’m here just as you requested.”
    Lust burned in Nikko’s eyes like twin flames. Two huge hands curved around Luc’s ass, holding him firmly in place. “You listen well, little fae.”
    “Master Nikkolai, can I get you something?” Sheila spoke to Nikkolai, but Luc could feel her eyes on the back of his head.
    Master? Why did he always go for the alphas? “Master vampire?”
    Nikkolai nodded.
    Luc tried to stand up but those strong hands held him fast.
    “Going somewhere?” Nikko’s tone implied yes wasn’t the proper answer.
    He decided to try honesty. “Look, I don’t mind you being a vampire, but a vampire master is a little more than I’m willing to cope with right now. I’ve had enough alpha types to last me a while.”
    “Deal,” said Nikkolai before possessing Luc’s lips in a take-no-prisoners kiss.
    Heat. Mmmm. It poured through him like an inferno, burning away some of his liquor-induced haze. Luc couldn’t stop the moan that rolled through his chest even if he’d wanted to. He could feel his will melting beneath the passionate fire of Nikko’s touch.
    Reluctantly, he broke away to get oxygen. “Fine, but only for one night.”
    Luc could claim drunkenness in the morning. One night could be excused. Two nights was just stupidity. No way was he getting involved with another alpha male who would break his heart. On the plus side, vampires couldn’t have babies, so he wouldn’t be dumped for some werebitch.
    “Let’s go to my room,” Nikko growled, breaking into Luc’s beer-slushed thoughts.
    He slid off of the vampire and watched that long, long body stand.
    Oh, yeah.

    Luc allowed the vamp to lead him out of the room to a stairway at the opposite end of the hall where a huge guard stood blocking access.
    Wow, what did they feed these guys? They must be on super blood or something. Maybe they had a vampire cloning machine in the back that created six-foot-five blood-sucking clones by the dozen.
    In addition to being huge, the guard had mahogany hair and melting brown eyes.
    Totally his type.
    He must have made some noise because his new buddy gave him a glare. “He’s not for you,” Nikko growled.
    Luc returned the vamp’s glare with an innocent look. “Of course not, I’m obviously busy.”
    At least tonight. Tomorrow, who knew?
    The guard gave him a wink as they passed.
    Luc let the large, alpha vamp drag him upstairs. After all, he really only wanted a nice quiet space to check out Mr. Sex-on-two-legs. Curiosity was his downfall. His father always told him it was one of his sins. Luc hoped to work on a few of the other sins tonight, starting on lust. Maybe moving through greed, gluttony and ending in sloth.
    Yep, it was important for a man to have goals.
    That fine ass kept moving up the stairs. Luc followed, mesmerised by the strong muscles flexing before his eyes. A smile flashed over Nikko’s shoulder told him the vampire knew the impact of that ass.
    They passed a few other people but Nikko didn’t greet them, acknowledge them or step around them as they scattered.
    Wow, the vampire master had worse manners then the wolves.
    Oddly, that was a turn on.
    Before he knew it, there were no more people, no more music, nothing but the two of them as Nikkolai pulled him into a dark room, slamming the door behind them. It closed with a solid thud. Luc watched the vampire whisper a few words over the lock, sealing them in.
    This wouldn’t be a room easily escaped.
    Well, for most people.
    Luckily, Luc wasn’t most people. He could conjure a portal in his sleep and if there was a mirror it was even easier.
    Shoving him against the wall, Nikkolai lifted both of Luc’s wrists above his head, stretching his body until he was pressed between the hard wall and the harder vampire. Heat
