I closed my eyes and immediately an image of Lestat bound naked to a post came to mind. His mischievous eyes daring me to make something of it, drove me wild. I could see his body streched out, defenseless to my will. I felt a rush of desire race through my body.
"Louis? Evisioning something about Dickens?" My eyes shot open when I felt Lestat pull the book from my hands.
"A Tale of Two Cities? Louis, how can you envision this stuff? What is there some wonderful murder scene I'm missing?" He teased as he eased himself on to my lap.
"Lestat quit being a brat and go feed." I needed space and I needed it now. His lips pouted and he wrapped his arms around my neck.
"Come on Louis. Let's go do something worthwhile."
"Like what?" A mischevious grin spread across his lips.
"Like going to bed." He reached for the buttons on my shirt and started to undo them.
"No." I said as I removed his hands and forced him off of my lap. I headed for the front door.
"Louis, I'm sorry." I turned around and looked at him. He always jumps to the wrong conclusions.
"Do you have the keys to your Ferrari?" He nodded as he got up and placed himself next to me. The keys appreared in his hand and I opened the door. He followed me out as I made my way to the passenger side of the car. Lestat slipped into the driver's seat and started the car.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere. Just drive please." I felt so much better when the car eased its way on to the road.
"Louis..."
"Sshh...just drive Lestat. Just drive." I closed my eyes and let my maddening thoughts race through my mind. I could see Lestat emerging from a large body of water like a sea god in all its glory. Water droplets hanging on to his golden hair and running down his body. I moaned and sank into the seat.
"Louis are you feeling alright, mon amour? Should I slow down?" Lestat started to turn off the road but I could not bear the thought of having his undivided attention on me.
"No. I'm fine, keep going."
"But Louis if..." My patience snapped.
"I said keep driving! Damn you!" I shouted as I covered my eyes with my hand and waited. Without another word Lestat started to drive again. I could feel the tension between us. Lestat was trying to figure out what was wrong with me and I could not stop the images that entered my mind. I saw Lestat streched out on a bed of rose's his eyes beckoning me to please him. I could not mute the small whimper that escaped from my throat.
"Louis..." I opened my eyes as he started to pull on to the shoulder of the road. I sat up and jerked the wheel to the left. Lestat slammed on the breaks as we got back on to the road. I reached up and slapped him. I could not believe I did that. When his wounded eyes turned my way I wanted to apologize but an image of him gagged and handcuffed to my shower head entered my mind. I had to get control of my wandering mind!! I just had to!!!
"Lestat drive damn you!" I yelled at him as I turned the wheel and shifted the gears nervously.
"How do I put this thing in drive?!" I shouted at Lestat as I kept shifting the gears. His cold fingers slipped underneath my hand and put the car in drive. He continued to drive in silence while I looked at the scenary. I could feel my hand trembling against my knees as waves of desire raced through my body. I caught a glimpse of his blonde hair in the rear view mirror and it shoved me to the edge of sanity and recklessness. What if he thought I was a wanton if I took him into my arms? Would he laugh at me? Would he deny me? My stomach knotted itself into knots and I pushed my forearms into my abdomen. I felt ill. No, he'll probably take me home. Should I pretend to see something? No, he'll stop and go look for himself. When he gets back he'll probably be mad at me for making him look. Besides I did not want to stop. What to do? What could I do? Finally a solution came in the size of a pebble. I heard the tires grind against it and I took advantage.
"Lestat I think there is something wrong with the tire."
"Louis, it was probably a small stone in the road. Don't worry about it."
"Please look Lestat. I heard a loud noise." I heard him sigh and he pulled over. I collected my wits as he got out and checked the front tires. I did not look at him as he passed me to go check the rear tires. I quickly unbuttoned my shirt as he bent down to check the right tire. I unsnapped my jeans as he got up to go check the left tire. When he bent down to look at it I lifted my hips and pushed my jeans down. I had a hard time getting my shoes off quickly. I took everything off except for my shirt. Lestat stood up and came towards his door.
" It was just your imagination Louis. There is nothing wrong with the tires." I turned towards him and kept my body hidden behind the back of the seat. I gave him the defenseless puppy look and pouted my lower lip.
"I'm cold beloved. Do you have a jacket in the trunk?" He nodded as he turned around and headed for the trunk. WIth trembling hands I fought to open the glove compartment and popped the switch for him to open the trunk. It was the last chance I had to change my mind, I could not. He closed the trunk and headed for his door. Without looking at me he tossed me his leather jacket and opened the door. I quickly slipped onthe black jacket and it was still warm from being in the trunk for so long. I could smell Lestat in the jacket. That sent me over the edge. Lestat started the car and started to drive again. He had not looked at me for a few minutes now, which I was very grateful for.
"Thank you." I whispered ashe started down the road again. He just nodded and continued to drive. I took one last breath of air and climbed into his lap.
"Louis! I'm driving! What...? Louis." I heard him choke on my name as I I found his fly. He started to slow down.
"No! Keep driving please." I whispered as I kissed his lips.
"Louis, I didn't know you..." I ended his sentence when I slipped my tongue into his mouth. I heard him whimper and I felt his leg muscles contract. I heard the car pick up speed as he buried his foot into the gas petal. I licked the inside of his mouth and started to tear his shirt into shreads when he did not respond. I felt so relieved when his tongue started to play with mine. My fingers traveled behind his fly and I undid it. I felt the car shift quickly to the other side of the road. Fear clawed at my stomach as I broke the kiss and looked over my shoulder.
"Lestat!" He managed to pull the car over and turned off the engine.
"Louis? What are you...?" I climbed out of teh car and grabbed his shoulders. He opened the door and I guided him to the hood of the Ferrari. I pushed him on to the hood and he pulled himself into a better position. I climbed on top of him and I felt the tears behind my eyelashes.
"Louis?"
"Love me Lestat. Please make love to me. Hold me." I begged and he complied to my wishes. He turned me around and I felt him enter me. I cried out as he began to move inside me. It hurt at the odd angle my body was in but I did not want him to stop. I felt my body fight against his invasion but if slowly went along with his rhythm. I wanted more every time he shoved into me. I needed more from him. My body was starved for his affection but the angle was still wrong. My body shoved itself into a kneeling position. I had no control over my body, Lestat had it all. I could feel my silent heart pounding against my chest. He had to get me to a climax soon. I could not take much more of this. His flesh was warmer than my own but he started an inferno inside of me. I trusted him to take me to heaven and back. After all he was my lover and I loved him. I still needed more of him. My body threatened to stop consuming every breath of oxygen I fought to take. Suddenly I felt my hands reach behind his neck and pull him closer to me.
"Please..." Please what? What was I asking for? I felt Lestat's warm breath against my neck. A second later I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I cried out in estacy as he took me to both a human and vampiric climax at the same time. I swayed in his arms but he held me close. I felt drained of energy.
"Lest..at." My tongue was too heavy for me to move. I was completely drained.
"Easy baby. I've got you." He lifted me into his arms and put me back into the passenger seat. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Part 2
Louis woke up and his aching body protested every move. He was sore from his lips down to his legs. Lestat had made good on his word and took him to heaven and beyond. He wanted to re-live every ounce of pleasure that was engraved in his mind but he knew if he did not move he would really pay for it later on. He slowly eased himself on to his left elbow and eased himself into a sitting position.
'Where is Lestat?' Louis looked around the room and he was not in there. His neck hurt from where Lestat had taken blood from him but he ignored the pain, after all it wa worth it. When he touched his neck to see if the wounds had healed he felt a sticky residue on his skin. Louis removed his hand and looked at his fingers, blood sweat. He needed a shower and he needed one at that exact moment. Gingerly he made his towards the bathroom. He took off Lestat's jacket and left it on the floor next to the bed. He would send it to the cleaners after he took a shower. Halfway there he caught the scent of Jasmine.
'Jasmine? Where did the jasmine come from?' He opened the door and was relieved to see Lestat sitting in the tub with a smile on his face. Louis smiled as he peeled off his shirt and stepped into the bath with him. Lestat opened his arms and he settled himself down within Lestat's embrace.
"Good morning my love." Louis had to laugh gently at him.
"Morning Lestat? Why did you say morning? We haven't seen the sun in two hundred years."
"Don't you know mon amoure, that you are my sun, moon and stars? The first time I see you at night you shine like the sun at dawn." Louis laughed gently as Lestat ran his left hand down his rib cage and down to his thigh.
"Lestat? We're not going to...?"
"No. I'm too tired. I'll just watch you instead." Before Louis could protest Lestat had locked him in a kiss and his hands reached their goal. With one caress Louis rewarded Lestat with a moan. Lestat deeped the kiss and he continued to torture his lover ever so slowly. A few strokes later Louis broke away and his body fought for seperation.
"Lestat...you...you..can't do this...to...me....Finish it!" Louis begged as Lestat showed him no mercy. Louis twisted and whitered in Lestat's hands as his body ached for completion.
"Lestat!"
"Yes?"
"Lestat..please!" Louis could not hold on much longer if Lestat did not give him what he needed. He knew he would die from the need.
"Please..."
"Please what Louis? Aren't you enjoying this?" Louis cried out as Lestat applied some pressure to his aching flesh.
"No..."
"No? Am I doing something wrong?" Louis could hear Lestat's teasing voice in his ear.
"No...yes..."
"No, yes? Make up your mind! Tell me should I stop?" Lestat ran his nails down Louis's shaft and Louis screamed in vain. Lestat continued to tease him mercilessly.
"No...you...you...Oh dear God..." Lestat had licked his neck and his body was waiting for the release when Lestat's teeth gently broke into his skin and release some of the tension.
"God had nothing to do with this. Tell me Louis what do you want?"
"Lestat please!" Louis cried as he tried to pull Lestat's mouth towards his neck but Lestat kept evading his trembling hands.
"Please what Louis? What do you want?" Another squeeze and Louis cried out in sheer pain.
"Please..." Lestat licked his neck again and Louis cried out.
"Please? Do you want me to release you from this agony Louis?" Again Lestat's hands squeezed Louis.
"Yes!"
"Are you sure?" Louis grabbed on to Lestat's biceps and fought to keep breathing.
"Yes!"
"Do you love me?" Louis closed his eyes as the pain of the impending climax reached it's peak. He felt one of Lestat's hands let go as he turned Louis's neck in the other direction. Lestat licked Louis's skin and he kissed it. He heard Louis take two shallow breaths and then he sank his teeth into the pale flesh. He returned his hand to it's previous task and two strokes later Louis had climaxed. Louis relaxed agianst Lestat and tried to catch his breath.
"Yes."
"Yes what?" Lestat asked. He had no idea what Louis was talking about. Watching his lover reach his peak had driven everything else from his mind. Louis turned on his side and snuggled up to Lestat. His hand rested lightly against Lestat's heart.
"Yes, I do love you." Louis looked up and kissed Lestat gently on the lips. Lestat kissed him back and held his fragile lover in his arms.
"Louis?" No response. Lestat looked down to find that his lover had falled asleep. He smiled down at him and lifted him out of the tub. Louis protested in his sleep. He gently settled Louis into the bed and he left to go get him some towels.
"Lestat?"
"Right here beloved."
"I love..." Lestat knew Louis ws gone. He gently dried him and let him sleep. After all Louis was not the only one who could give gifts in this relationship.
'Don't worry Lestat. I'll get you for this.'
Part 3a
Louis waited for weeks for Santino go get in contract with him. Santino finally did and they decided to meet in a cemetary outside of Moscow. Louis met the figure dressed in black around 11:45 on the following evening.
"Louis." Louis smiled at the older vampire.
"Santino. Where you able to get the vile?" Santino nodded and handed Louis a package. Louis was so estactic that he got the package that he leaned over and kissed Santino on his face.
"Sabastian said that...."
"SANTINO!" Louis watched as Santino turned around to watch Eric approach them.
"Damn! I have to get going! I did not ask permission to leave. The instructions are in the box. Good luck!" Louis watched as a small smile crossed Santino's lips and Santino took off in the direction that would take him the furthest away from Eric. Louis smiled and looked at the package. This would help him get what he wanted. Louis left not hearing the branch break underneath the weight of a foot.
"Louis?" Lestat whispered as he watched Louis hurry on down the path.
Louis got home to find that Lestat was not there. He quickly jumped into the shower and got into his new suit for Lestat. As Louis towelled his hair dry he went downstairs and pulled out some wine glasses. After rinsing them out he retrieved his package and opened it. A small note fell out of it.
"Dear Louis,
I do not think we will have much of a chance to talk so I'm
writing you this note with the directions on how to use this
potion.
You first have to get Lestat to drink it. Get some rat blood
and mix a few drops in. Since I do not know the extent of
Lestat's power use very little. He should pass out almost
instantly. Do not panick he's not dead. He will come to and he
will be weaker. His strenght is not as consentrated as it is
now. You will be able to manhandle him better. You will have to
judge on weither or not to use the rest of the potion. It will
take him a few minutes to regain all of his strength but don't
worry he'll be back to normal after it wears off.
Now, if you give him the whole thing it will turn him into a
human for a night. He will be able to perform as a human male
and he will reach his peak. You can do this but it will take
him longer to recover. It could take about a day or two in
order for him to regain all of his strenght but he will.
Good luck my friend!
Santino"
Louis put away the note and went down into the basement to prepare the chains and the ropes he knew he was going to have to need in order to keep Lestat captive. He found an old sturdy chair and placed it infront of the chains. He found a few candles and placed them around the room in order for him to avoid turning on the light. Louis looked the room over and decided it would do. He hurried back upstairs and went into the alley to find some rats.
Part 3b
Lestat walked home feeling hurt and abondoned. He had seen Louis kiss Santino! He had no idea what to do about it. He wanted to confront Santino and tell him to leave Louis alone but Louis would probably leave him. It hurt so much to see them sharing a kiss. Louis did not know that he had followed him. Louis had been acting stange lately. Louis would call someone and hang up as soon as he walked into the room. He had no idea that Louis was seeing Santino! Why? Santino was too dark for Louis. He brushed his tears away impatiently. Dammit! Why was he crying?
"Because you love him you idiot! You haven't told him that you loved him in over three weeks!" But wasn't the intimate moments they shared together enough? Did Louis not feel the love he was trying to convey? With that thought Lestat broke down miserably. Mortals walking by glanced at him with pity in their eyes. He did not want their pity he wanted Louis to be happy!
Well you know in order for Louis to be happy you have to let him go. Why did he have to be so reasonable about these things? Why could he not just lie to himself? 'And hurt even more when the truth comes out? Let him go.' Lestat gave up knowing that his small attempt to deny what was going on was not working. He finally made it home. He could hear Louis moving something.
What was he moving? His bags?
Part 3c
Louis heard Lestat walk into the house. He quickly opened the vile and put a few drops into the glass. He had just finished putting away the bottle when Lestat made it to the doorway.
"Louis?"
"Oh there you are Lestat! Here you go. I got some blood for you." Louis poured the blood into the glasses and held out the tainted one to Lestat. He hoped Lestat would not pick up any odors. He did not but then Lestat was more powerful than he was.
"Why?" Louis heard the pain in Lestat's voice. He looked at him and realized that Lestat's eyes were bloodshot.
"What happened? Lestat why were you crying baby?" Louis put the glass down and went to comfort Lestat. As soon as he put his arms around Lestat, Lestat shoved him away.
"Don't touch me! How could you?!" Louis looked at him confused.
"How could I what?" What did Lestat smell the diffence in the blood?
"How can you stand there and call me baby when you were withSantino?!" Louis was in shock. Santino? How in hell did Santino get into this converstation?
"Santino?"
"Don't play innocent with me! I followed you! I saw you kiss Santino! Why? How...?" Louis turned around and looked at the glasses.
'Lestat thought I was with Santino?'
"Why Louis?"
"Here Lestat drink this to calm down." Louis picked up the glass and held it out to him.
"I don't want it! Please Louis talk to me." Louis carelessly shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of the untainted glass.
"Louis..." Louis put the glass down and carried his own to the window. He wanted Lestat to drink the blood. Santino swore that the potion would not hurt Lestat. Sabastian, his warlock assoicate gave Santino the potion to use on Eric. Santino could only dominate Eric when ge gave Eric the mixture. That is what he wanted to do with Lestat but he needed Lestat to drink the blood.
"Louis."
"What?"
"Are you in love with Santino?" The idea was absurd but Louis decided to use it. He dragged himself back towards Lestat and sighed heavily. He hoped he could do this without admitting he was lying to Lestat.
"Yes." His lungs contracted with pain as he tried to draw a breath of air. He watched as Lestat withdrew emotionally.
"I see." He paused to build himself up for the next few words.
"Did you fall in love with him recently? What drew you to him? Tell me Louis." Louis turned away from him and walked away. This was painful, all he wanted was to get Lestat to drink the damn glass of blood!
"Yes. He's quiet." Liar! He loved Lestat for being everything that he himself wasn't. He felt Lestat's strong arms around his waist and Lestat's tear stained face on his shoulder blade.
"Louis I love you. I have always loved you. I'm sorry I have such a loud personality. I'm sorry for..for.." Louis turned around and held Lestat who was not sobbing like a child. Why must they always follow this heart wrenching script? He wanted to hold Lestat and dry away his tears but he did not want to do that at that moment. Later, yes but not now. Louis let go of Lestat and retrieved the glass. He walked back over to Lestat and practically thrusted the glass into Lestat's hand. Louis slapped Lestat to make him pay attention to him.
"I don't care Lestat! Here's to your future!" He clinked the glass with his own and swallowed the lukewarm blood. Lestat slowly raised his glass to his lips.
"I drink to you Louis. I wish you luck with your...new...lo..lo..Santino!" Lestat drained his glass in one swallow. He closed his eyes and two more tears escaped from his eyes.
"Louis when do you want me to leave? I can leave...as...soon..." Louis caught Leatat as he passed out.
"It's about time! I did not want to push him any further." He dragged Lestat down to the basement. As he stripped Lestat he felt Lestat's skin warm up a little bit. As soon as he was done he locked Lestat's wrists in the manicale with the chains and tied each foot with silk ropes that were attached to another manicale(?) on the wall. He went upstairs and made sure the door was locked. He went back to Lestat and found that Lestat was slowly coming to. Lestat still looked strong. Louis moved the chair infront of Lestat and watched as Lestat came to.
Part 3d
"Lou.." Lestat's voice was weak and Louis started to panick. Had this thing done some serious damage to Lestat? He got up and held Lestat's chin in his hand.
"Lestat? Baby please tell me you're alright!" Lestat's clear blue eyes focused in on Louis's green eyes.
"What the hell did you give me? Why did you chain me up and why the hell can't I break out of these things?"
"But you feel alright, right? I mean you're just weaker? Nothing else changed?"
"No, I'm fine but why am I so weak?" Panick took over and he started thinking about ways to test Lestat's capabilities.
"Do you hear the mortal walking by the house? What is she thinking?" Lestat looked at him and consentrated on the mortal.
"'What am I going to cook for dinner? What if he doesn't like fish?'"
"You're not making this up?" Lestat shook his head no.
"Describe her to me." Lestat closed his eyes and focused in on the mortal again.
"She's carrying a brown bag full of groceries. Tomatoes, carrots, a loaf of bread and some other little things. She had curly red hair that goes down to her waist. He frome is small and thin. If she doesn't..."
"Okay I believe you." Louis let him go and pushed his chair away from Lestat.
"Louis let me go! Why did you do this to me? What did I do?" Lestat yelled and Louis pushed his chair back more.
"Louis! Let me go now or I'll" Louis pushed his chair further back.
"You'll what?"
"I'll put you over my knee!" Louis moved his chair foward a little.
"And what are you going to do to me once I'm over your knee?" His voice became seductive. Lestat was shocked at Louis's tone he was supposed to be afraid!
"I'm gonna spank you!" Louis moved foward.
"Softly or not?"
"If you don't let me out I'm gonna give you a harsh spanking!" (*lol*) Louis scooted back. Lestat started to suspect that Louis was playing a game with him. He smiled and decided to see if he was right.
"Softly! I'm gonna spank you softly." Lestat whispered and Louis pulled the chair closer.
"And...?"
"Well first I'm gonna strip you..." Louis moved closer.
"First I'm going to take off that ribbon in your hair..." Louis moved closer. Lestat smiled and continued.
"Once I see your beautiful hair fall gently over your shoulder I'm going to push the right portion back." Closer.
"Then I'm going to kiss your lucious lips." Closer.
"When you open your moist mouth I'm going to let my tongue go inside." Closer.
"I'm going to memorize every inch of your mouth..." Louis pushed his chair back.
"Again! I'm going to memorize every inch of your mouth again!" Louis came closer. Lestat sighed and continued.
"Then I'm going to kiss your until you moan and once you do that I'm going to kiss you until you're breathless." That earned him two movements foward and Louis was now back were he had started.
"And then?"
"Then I'm going to leave your lips, temporary and kiss the hollow dip underneath your chin. I'm going to taste every inch of your neck and hear you struggle to breath. I'm going to run my tongue down your neck savoring your taste." Louis closed his eyes and moaned. He barely managed to move the chair.
"Then I'm goin to unbutton your shirt..." Louis opened his eyes and Lestat knew he had said something wrong.
"How?"
"What do you mean?" Lestat looked into Louis's eyes and something had diminished.
Part 3e
"How are you going to unbutton my shirt?" Louis's voice was weak and it had a panicked sound to it. What did Louis want to hear? Was this teasing statements an untried dream? Was this something Louis needed to hear? Suddenly everything had changed. Lestat knew that he had to make love to Louis verbally, the phsyical did not have to happen. He had to hold Louis safe in his arms, verbally.
"I'll have to do it with my teeth because my arms will be busy holding you close to me." Louis closed his eyes and Lestat watched as Louis shuttered.
"Louis let me go baby. Let me hold you darling." Louis shook his head no and ran his hands down his neck.
"Lestat...please..." Lestat gave up on asking for his release and continued making love to Louis.
"I...I would press my lips to the skin I came in contact with. I would wet the area with my tongue and wait for you to stop shaking." Louis fought to catch his breath and Lestat watched Louis strain his body against the air.
"Easy baby. Can you feel my arms around you? Holding you close?" Louis let his body sink back into the chair and Lestat watched helplessly as tears started to seep out of Louis's eyes.
"Sshh...I'm right there Louis. You're safe. You're safe. Can you feel me kiss your tears away? My breath against your face? Louis you're safe and I'll take care of you. You're safe."
"Lestat...please..."
"I would continue to unbutton your shirt and when it gives way I'll pull it way from your chest. I will ravish your belly button and I'll dip the tip of my tonuge into it." Lestat did not realize how strong passion's grib was on Louis until Louis tore his shirt open and rubbed his hands harshly up and down his torso.
"I...I...I would then hold you close. I'll hold you as you stop feeling the waves of passion go through your body."
"Why?"
"Louis, I want you to enjoy all of this. Inch by inch. I want you to feel how much I love you."
"No!" Lestat moved back at Louis's denial. Louis heard the chains rattle and he looked in Lestat's direction.
"No what?" Louis looked at him confused. Louis was struggling to breath.
"Why did you stop?" Lestat watched as blood rushed to Louis's face.
"Are you alright darling?" Louis nodded weakly and Lestat watched as Louis curled himself into a ball. Lestat damned the chains that kept him form holding Louis close.
"Louis? Darling?" He could hear Louis crying into his arm.
Part 3f
"Louis baby look at me. Louis..."
"Stop! Why are you...doing..this?"
"Louis?"
"Shut up! Hold me Lestat. Just hold me." Lestat strained against the chains in vain but he could feel the bolts that held the chains on the wall move.
"Louis?"
"Hold me. Please." Lestat had to wonder why Louis would do this? This was hurting them both.
"Please Lestat. Please." Lestat watched as Louis's body shook as his tears continued to fall. Lestat focused on the locks and tried to unlock them but his was not strong enough to do so.
"Damn! Louis let me go. Please." Lestat begged as Louis continued to cry. Lestat watched as Louis turned on his side and tossed his legs over the arm rest. Louis kept running his hands down from his lips to his hips. If Louis was trying to drive him crazy he had already succeded. Lestat figured he could calm Louis down a little so he could let him go but Louis proved him wrong. Louis started to run his hand down his own member. (*Considering how many words there are for that one particular body part I couldn't come up with a single one I am comfortable writing with!*)
"Louis!" Lestat cried out when Louis moaned. He heard whimper and he strained against the wall. The silk ropes gave but the chains were still for the most part in the wall. Lestat focused again on the locks and he tried to get them open but his constration(?) was shattered when he heard Louis moan again.
"Louis. Please let me go!" Louis did not answer him because he was too busy trying to get himself to climax. Lestat watched as blood sweat started to lightly coat Louis's body.
"Lestat." He closed his eyes as he heard the pain and the need in Louis's voice.
"Dammit!" Lestat pulled against the chains again but it was pointless. He tried to think of anyone that could help him. Only one person came to mind...
'Armand!' He watched as Armand tried to get Daniel to watch a television art show.
'Lestat! What the hell do you want?!'
'Armand help me break these damned chains!' Armand smiled.
'What you can't break...'
"Lestat!" Armand stopped his statement when he heard the need in Louis's cry.
'What the hell are you two doing?'
'Armand unlock these chains! Louis...'
"Lestat please baby! Please!" Without another word Armand focused on the locks and unlocked them.
'Thanks.'
'Good luck!' The connection severed and Lestat rushed to Louis's side. When he touched Louis's arm Louis almost jumped out of his chair.
"Baby." Lestat watched as Louis turned on his back and tried to focus his eyes on to Lestat's face.
"How?" Louis's voice was low and strained. Lestat shook his head no and closed his eyes as Lestat brushed his sweat soaked hair away from his neck.
"But..."
"Sshh...easy baby." Lestat kissed Louis and moaned when Louis's trembling lips opened for his tongue to enter. The kiss was humid and passionate and neither of them could get enough. Finally Louis broke away and Lestat tried to reclaim his lover's lips.
Part 3g
"No wait. Lestat please!"
"Please what?" Lestat asked as he ravished Louis's neck.
"Stop." Lestat pulled back wondering what was happening between them.
"Louis? What do you want from me? This?" Lestat asked nervouslyas he ran his hand down Louis's body.
"Yes...no..."
"Louis?" Louis did not respond but he managed to get Lestat's hand off of him.
"Louis, baby what do you need?" Louis kissed Lestat again but he did not let go of Lestat's hand. Lestat gave in and let Louis roll him on to his back. He could feel Louis trying to break off the kiss but he always managed to keep Louis where he wanted him. He felt safe in Louis's arms and the cold floor was keeping him from turning Louis over. It was too damned cold and Louis was warm. Finally Louis was able to pull away from Lestat and he peered into Lestat's eyes.
"Let me go, Lestat." Quiet, calm and in complete control.
"But..." He let him go when Louis pulled against his grip lightly. Louis got up and left the room.
"Louis?" Lestat heard Louis leave the room and he was left alone. A few minutes passed by but he did not hear Louis leave the house. Lestat had begun wondering if he had crossed some line when he heard the door open and close again.
"Louis?" He tried to move but he could not see well enough to orient himself. Suddenly he heard a match being struck somewhere to his left. He realized that Louis had lite a candle and he held a small glass bottle in his hand.
"Louis?"
"Do you trust me Lestat?"
"Yes. I love you and with love comes trust."
"If I give you the rest of this you will become human for one night. You and I could...but it is only for one night Lestat. I do not know how long it will take before it wears off. He (Santino) told me you might stay human for the rest of tomorrow but by nightfall you will become a vampire again. You will be weak Lestat. Not forever just for a short period."
"Louis can I ask you something?" I whispered as a horrible thought came to my mind.
,br>"Of course."
"What if it doesn't wear off? Will you leave me?"
"Never Lestat. I would never leave you."
"If I asked you for your blood will you give it to me?" Lestat watched as Louis turned away distraught.
"You're asking me that question again? Can't you understand I can not! When that creature took your body...you created David...no Lestat I will not turn you into a vampire." An uncomfortable silence fell as Lestat debated this situation.
Louis wanted to turn him human for one night and he would have to suffer through a weaking phase. If this did not wear off he would risk remaining human. He knew Louis would never bend and make him into a vampire but then Louis would remain at his side. What the hell! At least he was in his own body and Louis would be happy.
"Give it to me." Louis turned around and analyzed what Lestat had just said.
"But..."
"Louis darling. I love you and if this doesn't wear off at least we can be together. Let me drink the rest of it." Louis's hands trembled as he held the bottle to Lestat's lips.
"Lestat, I love you." Lestat was taken back by Louis's sincere proclaimation. He smiled at Louis and drank down the rest of the liquid. He closed his eyes as the liquid burned down his throat and into his body. It felt like he had just swallowed a mouthful of acid and it burned like hell.
"Lestat?"
"I'm alright Louis." He felt pain when his body started to slowly come back to life. His skin burned and itched as the nerve ending started comming to. He could feel his lungs jerk in an odd manner as they started to take in oxygen. He could feel his eyes burning behind his eyeslids as they started to recieve less light. They burned as if he had been staring at a light bulb or a computer screen too long without blinking. Lestat had thought his eyes were going to be the most painful part of the process when he felt the pain of his heart starting to beat out blood. He could hear his heart start beating and it was a pain like no other he had ever experienced. Even when his heart had died it did not feel that painful. He felt his heart start to pump blood out of vessels that had not been used for centuries. He could feel his hands start twitching as his nerves start to percieve sensations. Everything hurt and it magnified with every passing moment.
"Lestat?" Louis's soft whisper hurt his ears. Soon the pain consumed him from head to toe and his body felt battered and bruised. He tried to bear with it as long as he could but he finally passed out.
"Lestat? Lestat?" Louis's voice slowly drifted into his ears.
"Lestat are you alright?" Lestat moaned and he started to move his body.
"Louis?"
"I'm right here Lestat." Lestat opened his eyes and focused in on Louis's green eyes. It was then he realized that he was no longer in pain. The pain had left him completely.
"God you're beautiful. Did it work?" Louis nodded and touched Lestat's face.
"You're human Lestat. I can smell your blood." Louis ran his cold hand down Lestat's chest and Lestat shivered.
"Are you alright Louis?"
"Yes." Louis whispered as he kissed Lestat quickly on the lips and brought him up with him.
Lestat's body was scalding hot and Louis was not prepared for it. He tried to remove himself from Lestat's hold but Lestat held him tight. Louis wanted to pull away but he realized that he might hurt Lestat if he did that so he let Lestat hold him. Lestat held him for such a long time Louis had begun to sweat from the amount of heat Lestat's body was giving out.
"Louis?" Louis could feel the blood sweat develop on his scalp. His hair was soaked in sweat. Louis tried again to pull away but his lover held him close. It was then that Louis realized it was now up to him to maintain his part of his plan. He had to seduce Lestat. He opened his eyes and saw the lust and a little bit of fear in Lestat's eyes but it was mixed in with unconditional love. Louis wanted to devour his lover on the spot.
"Love me Lestat."
"Are you sure?" Louis nodded and closed his eyes as Lestat shifted their bodies into a more comfortable position.
"Wait!" Louis opened his eyes as Lestat turned him on his back.
"What?"
"Let me..." Lestat closed his eyes as he teased Louis's mouth open. He eased his tongue into Louis's mouth and tasted Louis's tongue. He gently sucked his lover's tongue and Louis wrapped his arms around his neck. Lestat heard Louis whimper as he tried to withdraw from his tender mouth. Louis reached up and gently held Lestat in place. They were giving and taking each other's taste as if it was the first kiss they ever shared.
While Lestat was kissing Louis he discovered something new about his lover's reactions. He found out that if he ran the tip of his tongue on the area right behind Louis's upper teeth his lover would shiver slightly. He broke the kiss and looked at Louis.
"Why did you stop?"
"You never cease to amaze me Louis."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that soft spot you have behind your teeth." Louis blushed and tried to bring Lestat closer but Lestat was not done talking.
"Louis, you're hurting me beloved." It wasn't true but Louis stopped immediately and looked at Lestat.
"I'm sorry Lestat." Lestat nodded and looked into Louis's eyes.
"I'm curious beloved. How many more soft spots do you have?"
"You know most of them Lestat."
"Hummm, maybe so but what if they changed recently?"
"Lestat. That's imposs..."
"There's only one way to find out Louis." Lestat ran his scorching hands down Louis's rib cage all the way down to his thighs. He watched as Louis closed his eyes and strained against him as he tried to hold in a moan.
"Well at least that one stayedt he same but I need to do a more detailed search."
"What?"
"Do I have a willing lover or do I have to tie your hands together?" Louis shook his head no as he watched Lestat's lips approach his.
"No what?"<>/p>
"I'm willing Lestat but I have to be sure you're alright."
"I told you I was." Louis shook his head no and smiled at Lestat.
"I think this is something I have to look into. I mean what if the potion did something to you?" Lestat smiled as Louis pulled him closer.
"Huhmmm, maybe you're right." Again their lips meet and they explored each other's mouths weith soft and unhurried movements. Louis did his best not to squeeze Lestat too hard when Lestat discovered another soft spot on his tongue. He could feel Lestat smile and the kiss continued. Louis could have spent the entire night kissing Lestat but he wanted more. He gently broke off the kiss and turned away when Lestat tried to recapture his lips.
"Louis?"
"Lestat I need to check the rest of you." Louis saw Lestat smile out of the corner of his eye.
"You're right but I do want to finish your mouth."
"Maybe later. For right now..." Before he could turn back around Lestat had already found the dip in his neck and was exploring it lovingly.
"Lestat!" Lestat did not answer him as he continued his journey. Louis did not realize what Lestat's heated touch would do to him until he felt the pain of his arousal. He whimpered as Lestat's thigh rubbed against it. Lestat moved away and looked into Louis's eyes.
"Louis?" Louis closed his eyes and turned away from Lestat. Lestat watched as blood colored Louis's face.
"I'm sorry." He heard Louis whisper and he felt a slight tremor run through his lover.
"Hey look at me." Lestat whispered as he brought Louis's face back towards his. There were tears running down the outer edges of his closed eyes.
"Louis open your eyes darling." Louis shook his head no.
"Baby look at me." Again no.
"Would it make you feel better if..." Lestat ran his fingertips down Louis's right arm and guided it to his own aroused manhood. Louis opened his lips to form a shocked expression.
"But..."
"Hey darling it would be worse if you didn't feel anything. Don't be ashamed Louis. Trust yourself and me. If you want to make love properly I'll carry you back upstairs where you can be under the covers. Louis I want to make love to you but you have to be confident about this. I won't force you into anything."
"But won't you be afraid I won't satisfy you?"
"You already have. Your kiss could make angels weep. When we make love Louis its not for carnal pleasure, some of it yes but it's not all of it. I want to communicate my love for you physcially."
"Lestat? Is it necessary?"
"What beloved?"
"Is physcial pleasure the only way we can communicate our love?"
"No Louis..."
"Do you want to try something else?"
"Like what?" He gently pushed me aside and got up. I could see him head for the door.
"Louis?" He did not answer me. I got up and ran after him.
"Louis wait!"
"Can you think of any other way to commicate love Lestat?"
"Yes like..."He cut me off with a kiss and he had wrapped his arms around me. He broke the kiss and slowly made his way down my neck devouring each inch of skin that crossed his path.
"Good tell me about them later..."
Part 3h
His hot skin was so wonderful to taste. I could hear his heart beat as I slowly made my way down his body. I could taste the salt in his pores as I heard him fight to breathe. I gently guided him to the floor and carefully placed my body on top of his.
"I'm not too heavy am I?"
"No." I nodded and kissed his lips again. I absolutely loved the way his mouth tasted now. He did not have the slightest idea how divine he tasted. I could feel his warm breath against my cheek(?) and I wanted to pull him closer to me. However, I did want to finish what I started so I wrenched my lips away from his and made my way down his neck again. I was mesmorized(?) by the faint beating of his artey. I wet the skin that covered it and watched as he shuttered and strained his head further back.
"Such an invitation lover." I whispered as I gently ran my teeth over the artey careful not to break the skin. I turned my head slightly to look at his shoulder.
"Louis." I ran my fingertips along his collar bone and watched as his skin goosebumped against my cold fingers. I did that again watching every individual goosebump rise against his skin. God he was beautiful. I moved over slightly to kiss the skin that covered that collection of bones. Salty and sweet. Nothing under the heavens could compare to this exotic mixture. I leaned my face closer so I could taste him more intent on devouring the spices there when all of the sudden this horrible pain came from the middle of my thighs. I cried out as Lestat rubbed his thigh against my arousal.
"Are you alright?"
Alright! I wanted the pain to stop! It hurt! It fucking hurt! Somewhere between his lips and his collar I had forgotten about myself and he painfully reminded me. I closed my eyes and nodded. I could not remember a more painful moment in my life, either as a mortal or an immortal
"Louis?" I fought for control. I needed it! I needed to control myself otherwise I would rush this and I did not want to do that. I started concerating on the image of the floor that had stayed in my memory. Yes the dirt within the cracked boards. The faded wood coloring, the length of the distance between each board...
All my thoughts shattered when Lestat held me in his hand. I cried out and dug my nails into the wooden boards around Lestat.
"Louis? You want me?" Oh dear god what was he doing to me? I tried my best to concerate on the floor again but I could not focus as his hand moved up and down my shaft. I felt my body was ready to climax. I could feel the faint remenates of juices reach my tip but I managed to hold it in but just bearly.
I was so proud of my accomplishment when I did managed to still the movement of the juices. I did not want to come in his hand. I did not want to come at all. I wanted him to experience that pleasure, I could live without it. However, Lestat proved that my accomplishment was pointless when he gently squeezed me.
I could not stop the outcome. I spilled into his hand and my body was relieved of the tension I can inflicted upon myself. I cried out and sank down on top of him.
I felt so ashamed! That was an animal response to his touch. I thought I had educated myself beyond that. I could not stop the tears that stung at my eyes from falling. I felt so ashamed. I slided off of him and curled up beside him. This couldn't be like this!
Part 3i
'Coward Louis scolded himself as he huddled up away from Lestat. Lestat had done what he had asked him to do and here he was shivering like a coward!
'Get a backbone, coward turn around!'
"Louis I'm sorry I didn't mean to push you. I'm sorry I thought that..."
'You're right you are a coward. There is love laying right next to you and you turn your back on him. Is this whole relationship about you?' Louis knew the answer to that.
'No. I love Lestat.'
'You could have fooled me. If you loved him you would be helping him take care of his owns desires. Maybe...maybe David's a better lover? Maybe Lestat should turn to him. David is afterall...'
"No!"
"No what Louis? What did I say?" Louis turned around and found a puzzled look on Lestat's face. He quickly put his arms around Lesatat and pulled him close.
"Lestat?"
"What?"
"Do me a favor."
"What?"
"Don't let me chicken out. Hold me and don't let me go." Louis captured Lestat's lips aggressively and slid his tongue into his lover's mouth. Louis heard Lestat moan and he held Lestat even closer. He could smell Lestat's blood as he got closer to him. Louis tried to get Lestat into a more comfortable position but Lestat's skin was too warm to push away. Louis managed to find his way to Lestat's abdomen and he slid his hand lower. With a few strokes Lestat broke the kiss.
"Don't..."
"Don't what?" Another squeeze and Lestat gasped in pain.
"Please Louis. Please." Louis turned Lestat on his back and Louis moved down to Lestat's thighs. Louis looked at Lestat in simple delight. Lestat was simply beautiful. He moved his mouth right above Lestat.
"Tell me what you feel Lestat." He lowered his mouth and took Lestat.
"Dear..!" Louis pulled away slightly.
"Thank you Lestat, but you're not telling me what you feel." Again he wrapped his cold mouth around Lestat.
"God!" Lestat screamed as he scissored his legs around Louis's back. Louis pulled away.
"Thank you for the comparison but you're not telling me what I want to know." Louis felt Lestat's fingers dig into his scalp and the downard pressure Lestat applied.
"More?"
"Yes!" Lestat strained against him but Louis only licked Lestat's flesh once.
"Louis you can't do this to me!"
"Payback's a bitch ain't it?"
"Please. Please."
"Since you asked so nicely." Louis smiled and licked Lestat twice and pulled away.
"No!" Lestat grabbed Louis and rolled him over. Louis watched as Lestat brought his trembling body towards his mouth. Louis opened his mouth when Lestat pressed against his lips. Louis tried not to gag as Lestat entered his mouth. Louis was not used to this. He felt sofficated when Lestat tried to adjust the angle. Louis pushed Lestat away and gasped for air.
"Louis? What did I do wrong?" Louis shook his head no.
"Trust me Lestat." Louis adjusted Lestat's body and took Lestat's tip inside his mouth. He heard Lestat moan a brief second before he could feel Lestat trying to move further in. Louis held his lover's hips and waited for Lestat to stop moving. When Lestat did he tried to take some more of Lestat in but he stopped when he noticed Lestat was shaking.
"Baby?"
"Louis I'm sorry I can't take this anymore. I...I need you."
"Please? Please I'll do anything! Please I'm begging you!"
"I don't what to rush this Lestat."
"I know you don't but I can't...can't..."
"You owe me Lestat." With a quick movement Louis had slid out from underneath Lestat and he had turned Lestat on his back. Louis let him go and returned to his chair. Lestat looked at him puzzled.
"Louis?"
"What do you think I'm going to make this easy for you Lestat? If you want me come and get me." Lestat turned on his side and tried to get up. His first attempt falled. The floor was slippery from the amount of sweat in Louis's hair. Lestat gathered himself up and forced himself on his feet. Louis watched as Lestat tried to hurry towards him, his movements seemed so slow. Before he could comment on that Lestat was reaching for his hand and Louis accepted.
"Louis please stand up." Louis did just that and Lestat moved behind him.
"Have I told you that you're perfect?"
"Perfect? This is comming from the Brat Prince? The one who always gets what he wants?"
"Not always."
"Really tell me when you haven't gotten what you've wanted?" Louis felt Lestat snake his hands around his waist and Louis moaned.
"I'll have to think about that but I hope this isn't one of those moments." Before Louis could respond Lestat kissed his neck and Louis bite his own tongue.
"I don't think I've ever really noticed all of your bones Louis. They are quite beautiful. You are just stunning mon chere." Louis was going to respond when he felt Lestat's tongue on his spine.
"Lestat..."
"Shhh. I've got you Louis. Your safe."
Part 3j
"Lestat." Lestat tried his best not to jerk Louis back after Louis sunk to his knees. Lestat followed him down and continued to taste Louis's skin.
"Lord you taste good." All Louis could do was whimper as Lestat found him.
"Les..." Lestat made his way to Louis's opening and he gently parted the skin protecting the opening.
"Louis, I'm gonna get you ready for this chere. It might take a minute but I don't want to hurt you." Louis moaned as Lestat pulled his hips off the ground. Louis leaned against Lestat as Lestat tried to get into a better spot.
"Please Lestat." Louis almost screamed in agony as Lestat tried to strech him. It hurt!
"Sorry I didn't mean to..." Lestat cut himself off as he gently guided his index finger into Louis's mouth. Louis moaned and sucked it gently. Lestat pulled his finger out of Louis's mouth and tried to strech Louis again. Louis's body gave a little but Louis contracted his muscles around his finger.
"Lestat."
"Sshhh baby it's alright. Relax chere. Calm down. Relax. I won't hurt you." It seemed to do the trick and Louis relaxed his muscles. Lestat started to move his finger in and out of Louis's opening trying to get it to strech a little. Finally the opening gave a little and it didn't hurt Louis when he moved his finger.
"Lestat?"
"Do you want more Louis?" It wasn't a sneer it was just a sincere question and Louis nodded. Lestat withdrew and inserted his next finger into Louis's mouth. After Lestat was convinced that his finger was wet enough he withdrew and inserted his index finger into Louis's opening again. After a few thrusts he gently eased both fingers into Louis. Louis scratched the floor and tried to hold in his moan.
"Relax my love. Relax. Trust me Louis." After waiting a few minutes Louis relaxed and told himself to enjoy everything Lestat had to offer. It hurt a little when the tisse tore but eventually the pain died down.
"Darling can you stand one more?" Louis wanted to scream no but he knew he would be lying. He wanted it. He wanted it all.
"Yes, please." Lestat kissed his lower back as he offer Louis his ring finger. Louis made sure it was wet and Lestat slowly made his way back to his task.
"If it hurts too much tell me Louis. I don't want to hurt you. I only want to make love to you."
"I know Lestat. I know." Louis jerked away slightly in pain when Lestat inserted all three fingers into him.
"Forget it I'm stopping!"
"Don't you dare! You started it now finish it!" Lestat tried to move away but Louis caught his wrist and squeezed him a little.
"But Louis..."
"Don't 'but Louis' me! I want you to finish this! Please!" Lestat watched as a single tear make it's way down Louis's face.
"Alright. Just please don't cry. I can't stand it if I made you cry."
"Then just do it!" Lestat gently gathered Louis in his arms and held him for a moment while he gathered his nerves.
"I love you Louis."
"I know." With that Lestat slowly inserted each finger into Louis. Once each of them had reached as far as they could go he started pairing them up until he finally managed to get all three fingers in there without hurting Louis. Louis moaned and shook in his arms but he never asked him to stop.
"Lestat. Please now. Please."
"Don't you think we're rushing this?"
,br>"How many more hours do you think I'm going to stay awake? Please?" With that Lestat just gave in and slowly traded his fingers for his shaft. He inched himself in watching and waiting for any reason to stop. Louis never gave him one. Finally after feeling some of Louis's tissue tear he knew he was all the way in. He waited and caught his breath.
"Please Lestat. Please." With that he slowly started to move inside Louis. He held on to his lover with more care than he did when he normally made love to Louis. He watched in fasination as this beautiful soul tried to tell him what he felt. Lestat watched as the sweat poured out of Louis and they slowly picked up the pace. The heat between them was hellish. Lestat felt Louis cold and wet back slide against his chest. He knew Louis was a gift from God. He would always love him and treasure him. He knew he belonged to this vampire who's dreams made his look like a child's. Lord he loved him. He would have continued for the rest of the day if he had not noticed that Louis was struggling to keep awake. Dawn was there and she was trying to take his lover away.
"Louis?"
"Lestat. Dawn..." Without warning Louis squeezed his muscles causing Lestat to reach his peak. Lestat held on to Louis as Louis drifted into sleep.
"Louis?"
"Always...love you Lestat. Always." Lestat smiled and carried his lover upstairs as fast as possible he did not want Louis to wake up in the basement. He deposited Louis on the bed and covered him up. Lestat smiled at him and noticed a video camera on the dresser across the room.
"Stay indoors...don't." Lestat smiled at his now gone lover and gently brushed a few locks away from Louis's face. He jerked his hand away when he saw Louis's arm rise a little.
Part 4
Lestat watched as Louis laid there in bed fast asleep to the world around him. He was just so beautiful to look at and now with these mortal eyes he looked even more divine. Lord he loved him. It was total there was no room for doubt. His lover had given him the best gift he could ever hope for. Last night was simply what dreams were made of. Lestat knew he had to return the favor some how. The question was how? How do you return such perfection? Lestat's mind drifted and his gaze slowly turned to the video camera on the desk across the room. Bingo!
Lestat rushed over to the camera and picked it up. He checked to see if there was a cassette in there and there was. It appeared to be brand new. Now to turn it on...
Lestat noticed that the stand that came with it was leaning in the cornor. He retrieved it and set the equipment. Lestat grinned thinking that his plan might actually work! He set the camera infront of the window and he opened it. The sun had just started to break into the horizon and the animals were slowly stirring to life.
"Louis this is my gift to you." Lestat moved out of the way so Louis could have a clear view of the dawn. Lestat frowned to himself.
'Why hadn't the death sleep claimed him yet?' Something was wrong but he avoided the camera at all cost. He did not want anything to ruin the dawn for Louis. Lestat cautiously walked into another room and opened the window. He waited for sleep to claim him as he watched the sun come into full view in the sky. He waited and waited and waited but still nothing. Lestat looked at the clock on the mantel it was 6:15 a.m.
'Why hadn't...?' Then a sudden recollection came to him.
'I don't know how long it's going to take for it to wear off Lestat. Santino told me it might last into tomorrow.'
"Holy shit! It did!" Lestat wanted to race outside and enjoy the daylight but reality hit him hard.
'What if this thing wore off in the middle of the afternoon? He would be burnt to a crisp if there wasn't some place he could duck into.'
"Don't worry about it Lestat." Lestat turned towards the mirror. There was an image of a man dressed in black with black hair and stunning green eyes on the mirror.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Sabastian. I'm the one who gave this potion to Santino to give to Louis. It won't wear off for the rest of the day. Your blood isn't that weak to fall back into your vampire nature so quickly. You have about nine hours to roam the earth in the daylight."
"You're serious? You're not trying to kill me are you?" Lestat watched as the being snapped his fingers and he felt something trying to strangle him. Lestat was frightened there was nothing there yet he was sufficating.
"I can kill you right now if I chose to do so. However since I don't want to have to explain to my sire why you're dead I'll let you live." The pressure was released and Lestat gasped for air.
"Now listen to me Lestat. Louis seems to have some odd notion that he loves you. To be perfectly honest with you I don't know what he sees in you but he loves you. You can use this time wisely or you can waste it. It's entirely up to you."
"But..." The image was gone and all he could see was his own reflection.
'Use this time wisely?' Lestat smiled and stepped towards the light on the floor. He slowly inched his foot into the light. All he felt was the warmth of the sunlight, no burning. He inched is calf into the light and he slowly managed to get all of himself into the light. No burning! He was not going to spontaneously combust in the middle of the day, well at least for the next nine hours!
"Louis! I've got your gift for you!" Lestat raced into the bedroom and pulled the camera off of the stand. He wanted to rush outside but he knew his fledgling would love to see everything so he slowly made his way downstairs and took film of everything. When Lestat made it outside he stood there in complete wonder. It was simply beautiful. No words could describe what he saw.
"My god Louis! This is...this is..." Lestat simply walked straight ahead and filmed everything. The color of the grass, flowers, trash, everything. Lestat kept walking away from the house recording everything that crossed his path. He almost scared a child when he focused in on him for too long. Lestat just smiled and moved on.
New Orleans was a beautiful place to live in. There was so much activity and color in the city. Lestat recorded on and on and forgot about the time. He was simply enjoying every part of the experience.
Eventually towards dusk Lestat started to feel a little sluggish. His pace was slower but he kept on filming. He watched as more people started to go towards their homes.
"Louis this is marvelous...(yawn) No one can...(yawn)" Lestat had to fight to keep his eyes open but he went on. A short time after he started getting sleepy he could feel his skin start to burn a little bit. Lestat looked around the area and all he could find was an alley.
"I'm sorry Louis but..." Lestat hurried into the alley and tried to find a spot where he could record the sun setting and still be covered by the shadow of the wall. It took an incrediable amount of energy to climb on top of a trash can and place the camera in the right angle. Lestat quickly hid in the shadows and waited for the sun to set and as he waited he slowly drifted off to sleep.
Louis woke up alone. 'Where was Lestat?' He smiled Lestat was probably trying to clean up the mess they had made last night. Nothing to worry about. He got himself out of bed and he took a very long warm shower.
After he got out he started to worry about Lestat. It did not take him that long to clean anything up! Louis made his way downstairs and into the basement.
No, Lestat was not there. He had not been in there. When Louis went back upstairs he noticed that the door was open.
"Oh Lestat! You forgot to close the door!" Louis closed the door and went back upstairs.
"Lestat?"
Lestat felt something crawl on his skin. He opened his eyes and killed the ant that had climbed on to his arm. It was dark! Dammit! Louis! Louis must be worried by now! Lestat retrieved the camera and raced home as fast as he could. He opened the door and raced upstairs. Lestat found Louis sitting on the bed looking out the window.
"Louis?" Louis turned around and Lestat saw that his eyes were bloodshot.
"Where have you been?"
"I'm sorry chere I went outside..."
"And you need a camera to go outside?"
"No, I recorded something for you."
"Such as?"
"I recorded the dawn for you and then I went outside to...." Lestat was cut off when Louis knocked him on his rear end. When he looked up at Louis he was shocked to see rage in his fledgling's eyes.
"You bastard! You could have been killed? Do you know how long I've sat here thinking the worst has happened to you?"
"I'm sorry. I feel asleep."
"Don't you ever do that again! Don't you ever leave without some notice! Damn you Lestat!"
"I'm sorry." Louis nodded and lifted Lestat off the ground. He kissed Lestat on the face and sat on the bed again.
"So what did you record?" Lestat put the tape into the VCR and he cuddled up next to Louis. Louis drapped his arm around Lestat's shoulders and held on to him as he watched the video.
Lestat managed to take a few sly glances at Louis who was weeping silently. At the end of the video Louis let him go and hit the rewind button. They saw the video twenty times in a row.
"Lestat. This is a beautiful gift! Thank you."
"I'm going to have it put on DVD for you. That way you can watch it over and over again." Louis just smiled and they huddled up for the rest of the night.
The End!
