Eddie’s hand wrapped around him, the warm skin of his palm covering him like a blanket.

“Fuck!” Thomas hissed under his breath.

Eddie’s eyes shot up to meet his gaze. His lips moved. “You like that?” His pink tongue licked his lips, making Thomas let out another sound of pleasure. Was he dreaming? Because this couldn’t be happening. Why was Eddie suddenly in his shower, touching him when only two nights ago, he’d made it clear that the kiss at the construction site had been merely a diversionary tactic? What had changed Eddie’s mind?

Eddie tightened his grip around Thomas’s hard-on, then slid up and down on it. “If we do this, you have to promise me something,” he demanded.

“Anything,” Thomas replied without thinking, since his brain had already shut down and his dick was doing his thinking for him now.

“Nobody can ever find out.”

“Nobody,” he whispered back, his breath deserting him as Eddie moved closer.

“Undress me.”

Thomas reached for the strings that held up Eddie’s pajama pants and untied them with trembling fingers. When the knot was open, he loosened the waistband and pushed the pants past Eddie’s slim hips. From there, they fell onto the wet shower floor, pooling around Eddie’s feet.

Thomas dropped his gaze and stared at Eddie’s cock. It was fully erect and more beautiful than anything he’d ever seen. Pumped full with blood, plump veins snaked around the shaft, its purple head glistening with pre-cum. He took a deep breath, inhaling the tantalizing scent, sending a shockwave through his body.

“Eddie,” he murmured, unable to form a coherent sentence.

Instead, he slipped his hand between Eddie’s legs and palmed his balls, then gripped his erection. Eddie’s breath hitched, and for a moment, his hand on Thomas’s cock stilled in its movements.

Eddie let go of Thomas’s cock, then laid his hand over Thomas’s and pried it off him.

Disappointed, Thomas stared at him.

“Together,” Eddie whispered and pushed his cock against Thomas’s, then put his hand around both cocks at the same time, though his palm couldn’t span the combined girth fully.

Thomas added his hand, and together they moved their hands up and down their joined erections. Feeling the soft skin of Eddie’s cock against his own hard-on, Thomas felt overwhelmed by the sensations racing through his body: fire shot through his cells, electricity fueled the flames in his body, desire surged.

Eddie let out a ragged breath, his lids lowering. Thomas slanted his head and brought his lips to Eddie’s, brushing against them. A moan left Eddie’s throat and Thomas captured it, closing his lips over Eddie’s mouth.

The moment their tongues met, pleasure so intense he thought it would kill him rushed through him. He’d dreamed of this so many times, spent so many days in his bed imagining how it would feel. But now that it was happening, now that he and Eddie were making love, he realized that his fantasies had been pale copies in comparison to what he was experiencing now.

Eddie’s hand stroking him, his tongue dueling with him, his thighs pressing against him, made his pulse race. And if vampires could suffer heart attacks, Thomas would surely die from one. Sliding his free hand onto Eddie’s ass, he ground against him, making him aware of his unquenchable desire for him.

Eddie’s hand started moving at a faster tempo as he slid up and down their cocks. Thomas matched his strokes to Eddie’s, feeling his excitement rise along with his own.

Thomas intensified the kiss, sucking, stroking, exploring his lover with more fervor, diving deeper into the sweet caverns of his mouth, nibbling on his lips, then licking his tongue over them.

When Eddie’s head fell back, severing the kiss, Thomas kissed the tempting column of his neck, his lips latching onto the plump vein that pulsed there. He could sense the blood rushing through the vein, the pulsing sensation that indicated the heartbeat, just as he could smell the blood. It called to him like a beacon that guided a lost soul to shore. Taking a lover’s blood was part of what many vampires did during the sex act. It heightened their arousal and intensified their coupling. Temptation roared through Thomas as his fangs extended and brushed against Eddie’s hot skin.

Eddie felt Thomas’s mouth on his neck and his sharp teeth sliding along his skin. The sensation sent a spear of heat through his core and right into his cock. He’d never felt anything better in his life, and all they were doing was rubbing their cocks together, their hands joined, their rhythms in perfect harmony.

Maybe this was the way to get this out of his system. At least that’s what he’d thought at first when he’d walked into Thomas’s bathroom. Just one quick fuck and he would realize that this wasn’t what he wanted, and then he’d finally kill his desire for Thomas and get back to being his friend. Unfortunately, the moment he’d touched Thomas and wrapped his hand around his magnificent cock, he’d realized that it wouldn’t be so easy. Maybe they would have to fuck more than once for Eddie to satisfy his gay tendencies.
