Vampire’s Mate Camping Short #5
Wolfe tsked. “It’s a good thing you’re a vampire in this modern age, Johann. Were you human, I fear you’d have a severe case of malnutrition.”
“Don’t be mean, Wolfie,” Jay said absently, turning back to his cards.
“I’m simply stating fact.” There was a hint of tension in Wolfe’s voice. He was feeling protective of Eric’s feelings. How adorable.
“C’mon, Wolfie,” Eric teased. “Help me gut this fish.”
“I will…supervise.”
He did, standing a healthy distance away while Eric got to work. “Why didn’t you throw it back? You usually do.”
Eric shrugged, cleaning out his catch. “I miss the taste, I guess. And I wanted to make sure I still know how to do this.”
“Do you wish he were here now? Your father?”
Eric glanced up, surprised by the non sequitur. “What?”
Wolfe’s eyes were narrowed as he studied Eric’s face. “I’m wondering if all this healthy outdoor activity has you nostalgic. Craving the family embrace.”
This guy. Eric fought the urge to roll his eyes. “You’re my family. And you embrace me plenty.”
He was rewarded with a pleased smile. God, Wolfe was easy. And possessive. And, as always, ridiculous.
“What else will we do all day?” Wolfe asked, once Eric had completed his task.
“Oh, you know. Play cards. Explore the woods. Swim and lay out in the sun. You’ll probably read your book ninety percent of the time, I’m sure. Jamie wants to tell ghost stories, regale each other with tales of things that go bump in the night.”
Wolfe clucked his tongue. “We are the things that go bump in the night.”
“Yes, you’re very intimidating. Now take this fish. I need to wash my hands.”
Jay
“And then Wolfe got in the water, even though he said he was gonna stay on the shore, and I think it’s because Eric looked so handsome swimming he just couldn’t help himself!” Jay bounced in the passenger seat, watching the trees pass by as he recounted the best bits of that morning.
“You think Eric’s handsome?” Alexei asked mildly.
“So handsome!” Jay gushed. “Especially now that he’s so happy and relaxed all the time.
It’s almost like he has a different face.
” Jay reached up with one hand to stretch his own cheeks down.
Had his face changed when he met Alexei?
He hadn’t thought so, but maybe it was hard to tell from the inside.
Alexei’s grip tightened on his other hand—Alexei was such an excellent driver he could manage the RV with just the one—and Jay released his cheek, turning to look at him. Maybe he wasn’t supposed to say that other vampires were handsome? Was that a faux pas in relationships?
But Alexei was smiling softly as he focused on the road. “I’m glad you had such a good time, kotyonok.”
“Me too! And then Danny…”
Jay continued to tell Alexei everything that had happened from the time they’d woken up that morning to the time they’d all left the campsite.
How Danny had enjoyed what he called his “lizard time,” where he lay in the sun with his eyes closed and soaked up the warmth.
How Roman had enjoyed his own version of lizard time, where he lay in the sun and stared at Danny.
How Jamie had teased Luc mercilessly until he’d agreed to race Roman in the water afterward.
Of course, Alexei had been there for all of it too.
(He’d been carrying Jay on his back in the water when Jay had cried out “Lizarding!” to alert him.) But it somehow comforted Jay to say it all out loud.
To remind himself that these things had really happened: he really had friends, he really had planned something nice for them they’d all enjoyed, he really was here and happy and loved.
And Alexei never seemed to mind when Jay needed to vocalize things. He listened and laughed at all the right parts. He hummed in agreement as Jay debated which ghost stories from the night before had been the scariest.
That one was a hard call though. Jamie had told some urban legends that had made Jay shriek, but then again, Roman had shocked them all by sharing some of his own family tales, all about devils or demons come to tempt people away from the righteous path.
Jay wasn’t a contender: he hadn’t known any ghost stories, so he’d read out loud from one of his Highlander books.
Not the really sexy scenes—those were for him and Alexei during their alone time—but some of the scandalous flirting.
Soren had seemed to like that, hooting at the raciest bits.
When he’d covered everything he wanted to cover, Jay sighed happily and leaned back in his seat. “Do you really think everyone had a good time?” he asked once more for good measure.
Alexei squeezed his hand. “I really do.”
Jay beamed at him briefly before leaning forward abruptly. “Jamie and Lucien slept in a tent!” he yelled, just because he could. He hadn’t said that part out loud yet, he was pretty sure.
Alexei laughed lightly. “They did.”
Jay sat back again, satisfied he’d said all he needed to.
His happiness was like a bright bubble in his chest, so hard to contain.
So he soothed himself by spending the next few miles just staring at Alexei, whose pretty hair had dried from their last swim and was back up in its bun.
He looked just as handsome in the car as he had at their campsite.
Jay supposed he just looked equally handsome everywhere.
Eventually, he couldn’t keep quiet anymore. “This is what it’s going to be like when we’re all living together, isn’t it? Once we time out of Hyde Park?”
“I think we might all be in houses, sweetheart. Not tents.”
“Yes, but we’ll be together,” Jay insisted. “All of us in one place.”
“We will.”
Jay bit at his lip. “And that’s okay with you?” he asked hesitantly.
Alexei tore his gaze from the road, looking surprised by the question. “Of course it is.”
“You’d be happy with just me, though, wouldn’t you?” Jay pressed.
Alexei shrugged, turning his focus back to the highway. “I’m easy. You exist, I’m happy.”
That sent a warm, fuzzy swirl going in Jay’s belly. Because that was probably true, wasn’t it? Alexei liked Jay’s friends, sure—he got along with everyone, even Roman in one of his cranky moods—but he didn’t need them the way Jay did.
And yet he did everything in his power to make sure Jay got as much of them as he wanted.
When Jay had picked a date for the family camping trip, Alexei had helped him research RVs and shop for extra tents.
He’d listened as Jay plotted out activities.
He’d soothed his anxieties that people (aka Soren) would be bored.
“I love you so much,” Jay told him solemnly, gripping his hand tightly. “More than anyone in the whole wide world.”
“I love you too, sweetheart.”
“And I don’t think Eric is nearly as handsome as you. Or as nice. And you’re also the best at making me come quietly in the wilderness when we’re being private and not having orgies.”
To be fair, Alexei was the only one who had made him come ever, but Jay still had a feeling he was the best at it.
Alexei coughed a bit at that last statement, and Jay shifted in his seat, peering at him closely.
“Did you like holding your hand over my mouth while you rubbed us off together?” he asked innocently.
Well, sort of innocently. Jay had learned long ago that Alexei really liked when he talked about the things they did together.
Which was great because Jay loved talking. Especially about sexy stuff.
He turned in his seat to face Alexei as fully as he could. “Have you ever heard of road head?” he asked.
There was a softly murmured “Jesus,” and then Alexei was turning onto a dirt road, driving down a bit before pulling off to the side. He leaned back in his seat, giving Jay a heated look. “You’re a menace, kitten.”
Jay pouted as Alexei set the brake. “You have to be driving for it to count, I think.”
Alexei laughed, turning off the vehicle. “I’m not crashing the RV while you use your wicked mouth on me, kitten.”
“My mouth isn’t wicked. It’s sweet. You always say so.”
“It’s wicked just how sweet it is.”
“Oh.” Jay kind of liked that. “Okay, that’s nice. Can I use it to suck you off now?”
“You’re sure you don’t want to wait for me to fuck you at home, sweetheart?”
Jay hesitated for just a second. He did love to be filled by Alexei.
And usually it would be Alexei taking him apart, letting Jay lie back and enjoy it.
But Jay was fully energized from all the good camping vibes, and he still remembered the squirmy feeling he’d gotten listening to Soren push Gabe around in the RV.
He didn’t know about pushing Alexei around, exactly, but he knew how to make him feel good.
“I want to give you stationary road head,” he said definitively.
Alexei let out a harsh breath before pulling his shorts down, revealing his hardening cock. “As you wish, sweetheart.”
Jay licked his lips, eyeing his prize. “You also have the nicest penis in the world. I forgot to say that before.”
He released his seatbelt so he could lean over fully and sucked Alexei into his mouth, pulling the foreskin back with his hands so he could taste every bit of precum.
“Fuck, kitten.”
Jay hummed happily around Alexei’s length as Alexei’s hands came to rest on his head. He didn’t push or pull at Jay’s hair though. He only stroked gently, tugging on Jay’s earlobe now and then, murmuring how perfect Jay was, how good his mouth felt.
Jay let his eyes fall closed and lost himself in it: the heaviness of Alexei’s cock on his tongue, the softness of his skin, the low, rumbly sound of his voice as he praised everything Jay did for him.
Alexei did pull a little at Jay’s hair when he was close, trying to tug Jay off maybe, but Jay resisted, determined to finish what he’d started.
“I’m gonna come, sweetheart. Are you going to swallow it for me? Be my perfect little kitten right until the very end?”
Jay nodded frantically as best he could, humming around Alexei’s cock as it spurted in his mouth, the salty tang of him filling Jay up.
“Alexei,” he whined, once he’d let the softening cock fall from his mouth. He was too turned on now. That was the problem with being the instigator: it left him all horny and breathless and aching.
But it was worth it for the look on Alexei’s face: his heavy-lidded eyes, his wide mouth soft with satisfaction. “Come here, kotyonok.”
Jay scrambled onto his lap, ignoring the way the steering wheel dug into his spine and leaning back to let Alexei fish him out of his own shorts.
He buried his head in Alexei’s neck while Alexei worked to make him come, too worked up to even watch as he spilled all over Alexei’s fist within minutes.
He sighed happily when it was over, cuddling into Alexei more firmly, uncaring about the mess. “I guess that wouldn’t have worked while driving,” he mused.
“No, I don’t think so,” Alexei agreed. “You’re not really the sit still type, sweetheart.”
Jay wrapped his arms around his neck, rubbing his face into Alexei’s shoulder. “We’re all going to be really happy together, aren’t we?”
“We are,” Alexei agreed, stroking a hand down his spine.
“Can we camp in the backyard tonight?”
Alexei pressed a kiss to his forehead. “Of course.”
“And make s’mores?”
“We’ll stop at the store on the way home.”
It was the perfect plan.
