Chapter Seventy-five

As he left the bathroom, he wasn’t disappointed to see Gavin laying on the bed, his shirt and pants gone. His maroon boxers the only clothing he still wore. He was laying in the center of the large bed, his eyes were closed. Crawling up to his feet, Tyler knelt between them, rubbing them. As he massaged the bottoms, Gavin smiled. Tyler took his time as he massaged up Gavin’s calves, tickling the back of his knees. He kissed Gavin’s skin as he worked his way up his body slowly.

“If this is the type of royal treatment I’m going to get when you’re a dick, I don’t think I’m going to complain.” His body shook as Tyler grabbed his buttocks and started to rub them.

“I could just give you the royal treatment and try not to be a dick. I’d prefer to be a pain in the ass anyway.” His hands slid up the inside of his boxers.

“Oh, you’re being naughty.” Gavin turned, slapping his arm. “Behave. I want that back rub.”

“Fine, but, I’m going to slip in right here…” Tyler pressed Gavin’s legs open, pressing himself between his ass, the only thing stopping him from being able to get any further were the damn boxers in the way. His hips swayed, rubbing against Gavin as he massaged his back. “You’re so hot. I want to put it inside you so badly. I can see in your face that you want it too. Look how turned on you are.” Tyler’s hand grabbed the hair at the back of his head and ripped at his boxers.

“Ride me slowly, keep working though.” Gavin gasped as Tyler rubbed him down with lube, pressing his tip in ever so slowly while he worked Gavin’s muscles. “Nghn… mmm.” His hands moved downward, working at Gavin’s shoulders, matching his rhythm with his massage. “Slowly…” Arching he raised himself up, giving Tyler better access.

“Turn around.” Tyler growled, pulling out, Gavin complained, but turned around, climbing onto Tyler’s lap. They were so wrapped up in each other, it was as if the rest of world didn’t exist. Their bodies and passion were the only important things in the world as they raced toward release. Their lips devoured each other, as Tyler pumped himself into him. One hand holding Gavin up by bracing him between his shoulders, the other wrapped around his cock.

Gavin was ripped off Tyler’s lap, tossed against the headboard. Before either could react, Tyler was pulled off the back of the bed, and Gavin grunted loudly as three blades pinned him against the wall. One in his shoulder, one through his neck, and one through his abdomen. He spit at the bitch who smiled between the two of them, arms crossed under her large breast which looked about to spill from her shirt. “Well, well, well… I’m not going to lie, that looked like a lot of fun. I bet Vlad never let you fuck him like that.”

Tyler went still as Mihaela’s hand grabbed the handle of the knife in Gavin’s throat. “What the hell do you want?”

“Unfortunately for you, I want revenge. I was turned into this abomination. I was promised that Bram and I would become the King and Queen of the vampires. That we would eradicate those old as hell bastards sitting on the Elder’s Council. I am not interested in following their rules anymore. There’s no reason Bram and I shouldn’t rule the world. Why should I have to hide in the shadows when I’m clearly the better species. There’s no reason I need to watch him schmooze over someone else, yet again. This time, he’s either going to join me, or I really will kill him. You’re going to be my bait. I wonder how long it will take him to realize his golden boy is gone.” The smirk on her face was terrifying.

Tyler’s eyes went to where Gavin was bleeding out over the bed. He could hear him gargling on his own blood. “Gavin, hold on. I’m still here. Please, Mihaela, I’ll do anything. Please.” He turned his eyes on her, he couldn’t remember the last time he’d cried. But the tears were hot in his eyes.

“An ancient may be able to survive, but he’s so damn fresh I can practically still smell the humanity on him.” She pulled a slim dagger no more than 6 inches from her purse. “This is my guarantee though. A guarantee that his death will be long, and torturous.” She slammed the slim dagger through Gavin’s heart, and Tyler started trying to fight as much as he could.

“No!” He knocked one of the vampires on his right arm off, but two more were already there, grabbing at him again. “Gavin! No!” They forced him to the ground, and he could hear Gavin trying to scream through the blood pouring from his mouth. “I’m going to kill you, you fucking bitch!” He fought, trying so hard, but there was nothing he could do. Not against full vampires, and certainly not against Mihaela herself.

“Yeah, sure. Don’t worry, you’ll be as dead as he is soon.” She kicked a thumb at Gavin. “You’ll be my bait. Bram will go chasing after you like he always does when he learns you’re in trouble. We’ll frame the elders and he’ll take every one of them out. Conveniently, those who I want to keep alive won’t be around for that bit. While he’s hunting you down, mom and dad will be able to whisk little Ms. Mate away, children and all, and they’ll be our guarantee that he’ll do what we want. Bram will have the option to side with us, forcing the change we desire, *or* when I kill her and that little bastard kid of his, and with you already gone, he’ll simply have nothing left to live for and that’ll be my moment. Without him to oppose me, mom and dad can have another baby, and this one will be properly raised as a vampire, not a damn human.”

Tyler spit toward her, growling. “He’ll never leave her alone with you. You think he’s stupid enough to *ever* leave his mate with any of you?”

“Oh, don’t worry, mom and dad are securing their trust even at this very moment. We’ve already saved the girls life, when mom goes to their rescue, yet again, just in time, Vlad’s very nature will tell him she can help protect them. He’s always had the softest spot for Scarlet. That stupid human attachment you have to mothers will be his undoing. Even if he has doubts, that poor girl has no idea what this life is all about. She’ll tell him to go. And he’ll listen. Foolish idiot that he is.”

Tyler’s eyes went wide as he stared at Gavin. His heart was slowing dangerously. That stupid dagger wasn’t enough to kill him in a blow, but it would kill him if it weren’t removed soon. “You may kill us all, but there is one thing you don’t understand about Bram.” She cocked her head at him, shrugging. “He will *not* just lay down and die. He will kill you. All of you. If you do this, there will be no turning back. I don’t care if they’re his parents, or if you’ve been around since he can remember. He will not accept this betrayal. He’s waited a lifetime for her. You take her from him, it’ll be over.”

“That’s how we’re going to get him. As long as he plays nicely, once she’s ours, all he has to do is listen like a good dog. Then he can have her and the brat, as long as he swears he’ll let us do what we want.”

“Oh,” Tyler glared at her, “that sounds just like Bram. I’d clap for you if I weren’t being held hostage.”

“At least, think of it this way, you thought Vlad was your mate. You were wrong then.” She looked over at Gavin’s silent body laying on the bed. “Hopefully you were wrong this time too. He was beautiful. If he was more open to variety, I might have spared his life and just seduced him.” As her hand reached out, brushing Gavin’s dark brown hair to the side. Tyler started fighting again.

“You don’t fucking touch him!” This time, he wouldn’t stop. He preferred she kill him now than use him later. Therefore, he fought. “Leave him alone! Help! Call the police! Fire!!”

“Shut him up.” Her words were cold as stone, and Tyler went down a moment later. They were always more powerful than he was. “Let’s go. I thought he would at least last a day. I’m so disappointed by those Vlad has surrounded himself with. He should have been better prepared.” Mihaela wiped her hands on the blanket crumpled at the base of the bed. “But I can’t wait to suck you dry.” She pulled at his hair before dropping his head. “Let the world bathe in blood. It’s going to be so much fun. Finally, I won’t be bored anymore.” She gave a lilting laugh, sweeping out the front door.
