He noticed Danny had left him alone for a few moments, understanding the need to just get his head wrapped around the concept of being dead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He shut off the shower, and looked at Danny who was watching him intently. \u00a0He gave him a cocky grin before opening up a fluffy towel. &#8220;You have matching towels Mac, this is the most adorable thing I&#8217;ve seen.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Stella bought those\u2026&#8221; \u00a0He yanked the towel out of his Mate&#8217;s \u2026 Mate he liked the sound of that \u2026 hand and began to dry off. \u00a0&#8220;The bathroom was shit when we bought the place, but it wasn&#8217;t a priority to fix, there was more pressing issues like the wiring, heating, and a water heater that was older than dirt. \u00a0After 9\/11 I didn&#8217;t feel like it, well anything, for a while. Last year, after that body in the bag, all I wanted was a hot bath.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Oh God I still have nightmares on that case.&#8221; \u00a0Danny didn&#8217;t mind leaning back on the double sink, marble counter watching Mac dry. \u00a0His body was in pristine condition, and he had his hands all over it, and planned to have them all over it again. \u00a0&#8220;So you finally updated the bathroom?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yeah, and it was the first thing I did for myself.&#8221; \u00a0He hung the towel back up. &#8220;Do you understand what I mean?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I think so.&#8221; \u00a0Danny stepped away, and into Mac&#8217;s arms. \u00a0&#8220;This was yours, not what the two of you would&#8217;ve done, but yours.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yeah. \u00a0I painstakingly picked the tiles, fixtures, all of it. \u00a0The only thing I had forgot was the towels. I had a set why would I need another. \u00a0Stella rolled her eyes, left and three hours came back with a whole range of towels and variety shades of blue and grey.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s very you.&#8221; \u00a0He pulled Mac into a deep kiss. \u00a0&#8220;I want\u2026&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mac answered by lifting Danny onto to the bathroom counter, and devoured his mouth in a deep kiss. \u00a0They were lost in each other, hands sliding over muscle, pulling at each other needing to be closer. \u00a0Danny wrapped his legs around Mac&#8217;s hips, thrusting his hard aching cock against Mac. The moment he felt Mac&#8217;s new fangs slide across the skin on his neck, he lost it and came just as he bit down. \u00a0He gripped onto Mac, lost in the sensation, the pleasure, and even the pain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The swipe of Mac&#8217;s tongue against his neck, had him focusing back on the moment. \u00a0&#8220;That was \u2026 fucking hell Mac.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Every instinct wanted to bite you, to complete this thing between us.&#8221; \u00a0He nuzzled against the neck, fascinated that the mark was already gone. The Vampire healing will make it easier to hide any marks the other may leave behind. \u00a0He kissed him softly, then pulled back smiling at Danny who had a dopey expression on his face. &#8220;I can sense more of you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Same.&#8221; \u00a0He pulled Mac back into a kiss, then pushed him slightly until he carefully got off the counter he was sticking on. \u00a0&#8220;Should we check in on our guests?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;No.&#8221; \u00a0Mac pulled him back into the bedroom, startled at seeing a made bed, with a different set of bedsheets. &#8220;Okay we&#8217;ll need to get something more appropriate later.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Pink flowers not your thing?&#8221; \u00a0Danny tried not to laugh at the hideous atrocity that was covering the bed at the moment. \u00a0He shoved the cover back, then climbed onto the band giving his Mate a sultry look. &#8220;Come on Mac, fucking claim me as yours.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He didn&#8217;t have to be told twice.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part One Part Twelve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[747],"tags":[746,50],"class_list":["post-14253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-afternoon-fic","tag-afternoon-fic","tag-bj-jones"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Da1M-3HT","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":13807,"url":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/afternoon-fic-next-story-poll\/","url_meta":{"origin":14253,"position":0},"title":"Afternoon Fic: Next Story &#8211; Poll","author":"Nicolaus Meridius","date":"April 16, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"So there are few options for the next Afternoon Fic.
