Oct. 1st, 2017 06:04 pmSo I was re-reading an old arc because I was trying to find the links for The Herb Shop and got distracted. Why did this author not write more chapters after this.... oh, it's me. As Poof would say, "Poopies".
btw onecrazycanuck your chapter is waiting at
Herb Shop part 5-- https://charisstoma.livejournal.com/1367888.html
And yes Meri there's more but Poof and Arath still haven't met back up yet after that tomhussy was poaching on Poof's territory, Arath.
Need to find the rest of this and maybe write more.

This... I've seen too many vampire horror movies where the humans are lined up like this to be milked of their blood.
Article says that the population of the horseshoe crab is being impacted. When they're all gone then what are the options.
A living fossil soon gone the way of the dinosaur?
Yeah they're a spider type but they're kind of neat too. I see them and I see trilobites.

The lighting made for a romantic atmosphere, which wasn’t a problem for those who were shopping. They could see perfectly well in the dimness. Lester smirked. Some of those being perused were eager, pheromones pleasantly scenting the air. Then again, the management probably piped in those scents to excite both consumer and provider.
He much preferred hunting over this artificial choosing but those here knew what was happening, which made for fewer misunderstandings. Blood was, after all, the customers’ staple diet.
Interestedly watching as a man stormed away from Lady D’s attentions, Lester smiled. Ah, his favored flavor for dinner.

Everett stared at the bright red fabric lying upon the bed. It had been delivered while he was napping. Wearing little more than an apron around the house was one thing, when no one but Connell and Stephen were the only ones there but this thing … he couldn’t quite put name to it. It was someplace between a long skirt and a floor dragging loincloth.
“I’m not wearing that.” He said pointing at the thing on the bed.( Read more... )

“You are an amazing donor. Your body’s blood regenerative abilities …” Sonya held up the lab results from the Medical Clinic. “By yourself you could feed one of us every day without any difficulties.” She frowned, “This might be a problem for your co-consort. The medical condition you have makes you need to donate your blood for your health to not deteriorate. It might be better if you did freelance for our Blood Clinic.”
“I could still donate at the Dr. Gordon’s clinic on the days Connell didn’t feed from me,” Everett suggested. “Maybe I’ll even out on my production and I’m just responding to being drained,” he added hopefully. “I mean look how many days it took me to recover from when Connell delivered me here.”( Read more... )

“No, you can not go home looking like that,” Sonya repeated for what felt like the twelfth time. “It is fortunate that blood donors, normal blood donors,” her brow rose looking at him, “must wait to replenish their blood before they can donate again. Remember what I told you about why you couldn’t host a diner so soon after Connell sent you here?”
They were seated at the breakfast bar, him with his scrambled eggs and sausage and Sonya with a cup of tea, “But Connell knows that it was Warren who was with me and they play together with their consorts.”
“No. Do not ask again for the rest of the day or you’ll have steak medium rare for all of your meals until I forgive you.” Her fangs were showing and the words hissed. It occurred to Everett that there was something more behind just his safety.( Read more... )

Sonya had been meticulous as always in accessing my various health indicators and given me an encouraging smile before she left. I shivered. Sonya I knew and was comfortable with but this time was very much like when I first met Connell except I knew what was going to happen, sort of, and I almost asked for the laughing gas to handle the tension.
I could handle this, I told myself and shivered again. This could go very, very badly or very good or … I didn’t know how I wanted it to go. The door slid open and he walked in just as I remembered him, his face stern. Someone didn’t want to be here though no one could have forced him to unless he wanted to be here. Vlad was a force to be reckoned with.
“So,” I began nonchalantly, “how’s Vlad?”( Read more... )

Meridae's going to love this. *grins*
The day outside was bright, Everett could tell from staring into the monitors longingly. If he wanted to go outside he’d need sunglasses after all the time spent in the Blood Donation Clinic where the sun didn’t shine and vampires didn’t make ashes of themselves. He smiled at his pun, stir crazy with next to nothing to do if one didn’t count the consort manual that he’d finished late this morning. What could it hurt if he went out and sat looking at the sun drenched world. There was dew still on the top steps in the protection of the shrub shaded overhang and the computer was keyed with facial recognition to not lock him out. If anyone from outside, asked he’d say he was staying at the clinic for training and this was his break. It wasn’t a lie, he was in training for vampire consort and he was taking a break from staring at photos and biographies of vampires who wanted to get to know him better. Know being in the semi-biblical manner and they were more interested in him giving up his blood after a sweet time of lust inducement.
“Hey, you’re Everett the one everybody is interested in?”
Everett blinked. “How did you sneak up on me?” watching as the other man settled beside him on the steps.
“You were mooning at the sunlight,” was replied with a smirk, “I know the feeling. Sometimes you just feel the need.” A hand was extended towards Everett, “Vlad and yes I am aware of what my parents cursed me with. Something to do with being conceived,” he grimaced, “while my parents were watching a vampire movie. Who tells their kid that anyway?! My Mom even showed me the costumes that they were wearing once! I was fourteen. Scarred me for life!”
“So now you’re a fearless vampire hunter?”( Read more... )

Sonya was consuming her blood when the car pulled into the driveway.
Drooling with lust, Everett watched a young man hop out carrying something large and flat in an insulated bag. He had the door open before the doorbell rang and the words, “Pizza Delivery,” could be uttered.
His, “You’re Nathan?” was answered by an uncertain nod.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”
“Um, having my way with Nathan. He’s not biting though.” Everett frowned.
Accusingly after the delivery boy left, “You said he’d take my blood for pizza.”
“I made that up. It’s a vampire joke Nathan and I share.”

“You are a bad, bad, bad man. I’ll go get you some orange juice and we wasted a perfectly good opportunity for a semen emission collection,” Sonya lamented as she levered herself up from the bed. Everett grinned tiredly up at her and she sighed, “and yes, this did count as being with a female diner.”
His hypothesis was correct, vampires had reflexes like sharks you just had to chum the waters, so to speak; get a little fresh tasty blood in their mouth and they couldn’t help themselves. Guess that was why there was the probation against anything penetrative when a vampire was trying to coax someone to let them have them. All he’d had to do was impale his ass on one of Sonya’s fangs, seemingly totally not by accident. The blood in her mouth had done the rest.( Read more... )

He liked medium well done steak but Sonya encouraged him to have rare and between them settled on medium, not medium rare because his idea of medium and her idea of medium didn’t agree. So he insisted on his medium well and got medium. Vampires are opinionated and stubborn, which came as no surprise having lived with Connell, but Sonya’s mission was him and he was never more glad that Stephen would be there with him in Connell’s regard at the end of this. He wondered if he had telephone privileges so he could call home. Maybe if he called during the day when Connell was asleep they wouldn’t mind.
Vampire spit really did the trick, inwardly Everett giggled at the rhyme. His injuries were healing faster than what was usual for him and the lassitude from his blood loss was gone which was probably due to his body’s blood production problem. He’d asked Sonya and been told that when his red blood cell count was elevated enough the Donation clinic would appreciate his contribution and she brought up that she could continue the licking that he seemed to enjoy so much to add the enhanced flavor to his donation. He would of course be compensated for his donation, not as much as if he’d had a donation ‘date’ but more than a regular human style donation. She didn’t advise that he engage with one of his required hostings while Connell’s marks were so noticeable as, Everett added another attribute to his vampire knowledge of attributes, ‘her people’ were competitive and things could get out of control. He sighed, the time for him to, he rolled his eyes, play donor to a diner was more rapidly approaching than he wanted.

It was only for a little while, Connell had said and then wrung from him every last drop of cum and almost more than Everett could safely give in blood.
There was a tsk from the doorway as Sonya entered, “Guess I don’t have to do more then rudimentary physical check on you. Connell would deliver you drained, putting off anyone being able to do much with you even if you were willing.”
Everett remembered Connell growling off and on as he placed kisses and nips over the expanse of Everett’s bare flesh.
“Take off all your clothes, please. Let’s see the damage,” she directed him in what Everett was relieved to recognize as ultra-professional in tone. The hiss as he removed his shirt ruined that, “He’s more attached to you than I’d surmised to do that much damage.” She stroked a cool hand from his shoulder and down his back, “and not a bruise left to empty.”( Read more... )
