"Nothing to worry about," he tried to smile. "My bodyguards are training for a possible attack. Please sit down, Commander. What can I do for you?"

"I just came to see if you were alright, and ask you about Bryce Donovan."

"Bryce Donovan," he repeated.

"Yes, apparently, people have seen him in the vicinity."

"Undoubtedly. He's here with me," Joey told her.

"With you?"

"Yes. We are together, lovers. Didn't you know?" "No," she said.

"Well, that's it. Would you like to see him?"

"Yes."

"Wait here, I'll see if he's...ah..."

Just then the door opened and Dino stood there. Somehow he had managed to get his hands on one of Tyler's bathrobes.

"Commander," he said with a smile. "What a pleasure."

"Donovan?" She stood up. "My G.o.d, it's you."

"Yes. It is. Were you worried?"

"I...well someone told me that...you were... well it's not worth repeating."

Thor? Joey asked Dino with his mind.

Gone for now, but he'll be back. We have to leave here, Joey. I know it's a lot to give up but...

I hate this place. Tyler hated it too. We'll leave tonight. I'm not worried about Thor.

There's more.

The Commander was speaking now, saying that she had taken up enough of their time and would be going.

They shook hands and watched her take her leave.

Closing the door of the office, Joey placed his hands on Dino's shoulders and looked into his eyes. "What?"

"Thor has made others. He considers himself the self-declared leader of the vampires. Since I won't join him, he considers me his enemy, especially you. For some reason, he despises you."

"That's simple," Joey kissed his mouth gently, running his tongue along one lip then the other. "I have what he really wants, you."

Dino took his hand. "And I have what I really want, you," he said, reaching over and kissing his mouth deeply.

Joey had to force himself to pull away. "Keep kissing me like that, hunk, and we won't leave here until next week. Let's get into a craft and set course for some place no one's ever heard of. Let's do what Tyler always wanted to, go exploring."

Within minutes, they were in the craft. "Take us someplace far away and mysterious," Joey said into the computer as Dino got behind the controls.

He reached over and took Dino's hand as the craft lifted off the parking s.p.a.ce. Joey searched his beautiful dark eyes and saw love there. Their mouths joined in a long and sensuous kiss as the craft vaulted into the night sky. It didn't matter where they ended up, as long as they were together.

On the ground Thor, along with several others watched the craft zoom into hypers.p.a.ce. "Joey," he said, his mouth twisting, "enjoy his body while you can. He won't be yours very long. He was destined to be mine, and destiny won't be denied."

About the Author

I write not only for my own pleasure, but for the pleasure of my readers. I can't remember a time in my life when I haven't written and told stories. When I'm not writing, I'm dreaming about writing, doing something wild and adventurous, or trying to make the world a better and more open minded place to live in. I adore beautiful men, and I know I'm not alone in this! Eroticism between consenting adults, in all its many forms is the icing on the cake of life!
