Sorry that this took forever and a day. Here's some well-deserved pompous pep for those who've been here forever.

Chapter 3

When Danny opened his eyes, or tried to, he saw that he could see nothing. In instinct, he reached up to his eyes, feeling a cloth wrapping snugly around his head. Then the memories took hold of him. His world would be dark. For the rest of his days. He moved to perch himself on his tail, trying to remember how snakes coiled on themselves and settled their heads on their bodies.

"Daniel?" He turned his head towards the voice and opened his mouth slightly. The air settled on his tongue and he could smell Vlad, could smell his lover's scent more strongly as footsteps warned him of the other's encroachment of his space. "Are you all right? Did you sleep well?"

He shrugged, feeling his muscles constrict, contract, relax. His body was so hyper-aware, it was almost overwhelming.

"It could be better." He shivered at the warm hand that came to cradle his chin between its fingers. It felt nice, safe. He let Vlad move his fingers up into his hair and hummed as the pads of Vlad's fingers massaged his head. "I want to take this off."

"I know you want to. You don't know how much I want to see your eyes, but perhaps we'll be able to make it a reality."

The hand left his scalp and Danny was struck with longing. Something wet was pressed to his lips and the scent of sugar danced on his tongue. He opened his mouth and the food - a mango - settled itself in his mouth. He moaned at the taste, never imagining that he'd miss human food so much. He voiced the thought and Vlad chuckled.

"What did Medusa feed you?"

"Mice, mostly." He scrunched his nose and laughed at Vlad's noise of mock horror. "It makes sense, with the snake thing and all, but I just wanted pizza for a while, and pasta. Now, the thought of junk food kind of makes me sick."

"So it's not just your body then?" Vlad brought another fruit to his lips and Danny lost himself as he was fed, fruits filling his stomach and making him feel a bit more human than before. "Your entire mechanism is changing to that of an omnivore more fit to nature, not this concrete jungle that humans created."

Danny licked at Vlad's fingers, his tongue wrapping around the long digits and bringing them into his mouth to suckle on them. He could feel Vlad's arousal starting, his fingers making stray strokes to the insides of his cheeks. The teenager made sharp exhales through his nose, as though laughing, before pulling away.

"I'll stay with you then. You bring out my wild side more often than not. This can be my jungle." He lifted a hand, reaching out. Vlad's dry hand grabbed it and brought it to his own face.

"You'll be safe here. I'll certain of it."

"I trust you."

He couldn't see, but his sense of smell guided him. He could smell the faint tobacco on Vlad's breath, the scent stronger when he urged their mouths together, their tongues tangling together. Androgens were being processed by his brain, his body reacting to the idea of mating. If he were still just a human-ghost hybrid, he'd think the idea cheesy. A life-long mate, but the thought was captivating him now. Vlad's hands were over his chest, groping every inch of his skin that was visible, as though trying to convince him that Danny was real.

"Vlad," he voiced, when lips pressed themselves to his neck, followed by teeth sinking into his flesh, marking him. He wanted to go limp, to lay there while Vlad did whatever he wanted to him, just to please Vlad. He could feel himself going backwards onto the bed where they sat, but Vlad stopped.

"Daniel?"

"A snake thing." His breathing was faster than he thought, trying to provide him with enough air to stay coherent as he was touched and kissed and- "Please, Vlad. I need you."

A soft laugh answered him.

"Where shall I go?" A hand pressed on the scales that would have covered his cock and Danny shivered. Not thinking, he lowered a hand down to Vlad's. A deep set knowledge urged him to take Vlad's hand and take it lower, finding a slit there. His breathing hitched for a moment when Vlad dared to pressed a fingertip in, wondering how this would-

"In there, yeah." Vlad paused and Danny thought for a moment that Vlad would leave, that their relationship wouldn't involve this much intimacy anymore. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak.

The whole finger came inside of him and Danny cried out, nodding to let Vlad know how good it felt.

"Oh, fuck."

"We'll get to that soon," Vlad responded, pulling his finger out and coming back inside. "It's wet, Daniel, and so tight."

The teenager shivered.

"R-Really now?"

"Yes," Vlad answered, establishing a rhythm of motion, preparing his lover. "I'm going to lose my mind because of you. Your body is different, but you're taking everything well, better than I am." A kiss came to Danny's forehead as two fingers came in, making scissoring gestures that had Danny shaking, waves of euphoria coming through him.

"Vlad."

"You're melting under my touch, aren't you? Too hot for your cold blood?" Danny squirmed, his tail uncoiling itself partially to wrap loosely around Vlad.

"Cocky, eh, Plasmius?" His tail moved where he wanted to touch Vlad, operating as a third limb as his arms came to hold Vlad's face to his as they kissed. He wormed his tail into the top hem of Vlad's pants and undergarments, trying to loosen them and be rid of them.

A third finger entered his cloaca and Danny pulled out of the kiss to scream, his muscles clamping down on the intruding digits, to drag them in deeper.

"Yes, I am, and rightfully so." Vlad pulled away from Danny completely and Danny was left in the dark, his mouth open to smell the scents of mating, submission, and something else he didn't know how to interpret.

"Vlad?" He cringed at the whimper that he let out.

"Hush, Danny. You're fine." Familiar thighs straddled Danny's waist, and the touch of hot flesh came over his slit. "How will we make this work?"

Danny moved his tail underneath his own hips and lower back, creating a slant that Vlad would be comfortable moving at. Hands grabbed his arms and he found himself embracing Vlad.

"That works," he heard the older man say. Frustrated, Danny rolled his hips against Vlad's, crying out sweet praises as the head of Vlad's cock slipped into his body.

"Fuck yeah, it works. Vlad, please!"

A sudden rush forward and Danny felt full, whole, and euphoric.

"Never- been this deep-"

"Vlad, move," Danny whispered. He was grabbing onto Vlad for stability, his body unused to the feeling that was raging through him. His cloaca was creating more lubricant as each second passed, making itself slick for Vlad's cock. When Vlad started to move, he could hear the older man swearing, making Danny giggle.

"Dear boy, you're so fucking tight!"

"Maybe, you're just big."

Danny felt Vlad's kisses to his neck again and moaned as he was marked again.

"Flatterer."

"But it's true." Danny reached down to grab Vlad's hips, wondering if Vlad could go in deeper, faster, harder. "Are you in all the way?"

"No."

Dear God.

"All the way, now." Danny turned his head downward, feeling Vlad's forehead against his cheek and knowing he was close by his ear. "Make me forget everything except you inside of me."

"Of course, love."

Everything became friction, longing, love, heat, clumsy, frenzied, and Danny couldn't remember what he'd been afraid of before. He could only remember that Vlad was there, here, loving towards him, his lover, his everything.

As they lay on the bed, panting from their exertion, Danny drew lazy patterns on Vlad's skin, over his ribs. He heard his stomach growl and groaned.

"Vlad..."

"I'll get you something to eat. You're fine."

Danny bit his lip, his fangs digging softly into his skin.

"I can wait."

"... Until I can manage standing up, we'll wait."

Danny laughed.
