2. Chapter 2 (1/1)

so this one takes place some time after the previous one, near the end of the series in fact. i'm hoping you can place these scenes in context, if i've written them well enough.

disclaimer: still don't own a thing.

when vlad had started this thing with bertrand, he'd been pretty certain that it was something he wanted. he'd even got the older vampire to accept that he would have to continue keeping up appearances with erin, and for a while it had seemed like he could have the best of both worlds. now, though, he wasn't so sure.

yes, bertrand was attractive, and there was something oddly thrilling about being with another vampire, even one so much older than himself. but vlad no longer felt that swooping sensation of boiling hormones when the other male kissed him, and he no longer wondered what exactly being with a guy would feel like.

erin was what he wanted, and the sooner he told bertrand that, the sooner they could all forget it had ever happened and go on with their lives.

his tutor stood in stoic silence as he explained all this, before vlad finally remembered to ask him what he'd come in to talk to him about. slayings on the increase? he was sure it would blow over; he was more worried about erin.

he should have paid more attention to bertrand's furious expression as he left the room.

sorry!
