Rock On

Chapter 10

Even at that point in his existence, Bill had not foreseen the entire direction that he would go in when the meeting with Tom changed the course of his life, Bill continued to reminisce lost in time in the basement bathroom of Cherie's apartment.

'I never dreamt that anything could be that good,' Tom said to Bill after the two of them had left the girls exhausted and still sleeping in the bedroom when they awoke the next evening. They had spent most of the night making love to them again and again and they had all finally fallen asleep at dawn in each other's arms completely sated. Even the newly turned young vampire had had his fill.

Bill smiled. 'I am really proud of you mate. I know how hard the first time is, it is really easy to get carried away and simply go for it but you didn't and that is really something.' Tom looked at Bill with gratitude. 'Mate I think that if it hadn't been for you it would be a totally different story. I mean, well if I had been on my own and met a bird I think, god forbid, I would have drained her. It's like, well it's like you have a thirst and you just can't stop isn't it.' Bill nodded. 'You did well mate' he said patting him on the back.

When the girls finally woke all they remembered of the night before was incredible sex and having had a wonderful time. Bill offered the girls a lift home and with Tom and Suzie in the back seat pashing on for the whole way, and Maddie in the front seat stroking Bill's thigh, the boys looked set for any time they wanted a date in the future with the two girls, the two of them more than willing participants. They dropped them off with the promise of a date in the next few days secured.

That was the start of what was to become not just a friendship but ended up being a business partnership of sorts that would go on for the next few years and it all came about because of the vision that Bill now had through his meeting with Tom.

Back in the late eighteen hundreds, Bill had been a member and a proprietor of sorts of an exclusive club, its members were all vampires and it catered to a select clientele at that. It was like any of the exclusive gentleman's clubs of the day except that the sole purpose of this one was to supply those of the vampire fraternity with a safe place to feed and willing healthy girls to supply that food source.

He had been living with Lorena in Paris. She had moved them both there after things became a little too hot for her in the States, some of her more notorious escapades coming to the attention of the authority and she had decided it safer to go back to the old countries she had known when she was younger. Bill had no choice but to go with her at the time, he was trapped, she would not release him. He was caught in her web still, the only solace he had at the time were the business trips that he made to London to supposedly take care of her affairs. He loved the short breaks away from her that afforded him the opportunity to have some kind of existence and create a life for himself without her.
But as the years had gone by, Bill had moved around with Lorena at her whim and had left the running of the club to a trusted retainer, then things had changed.

The First World War had bought with it a vast upheaval upon society and Bill had become even more entrapped in Lorena's snare with the coming of the jazz age. He had moved to the States with her in the early nineteen hundreds and his life had become mired down in her debauched ways. With the eventual death of his appointed manager, so too came the demise of the club as Bill was so entrenched in the States it was impossible for him to do anything about it. It had stood forlornly abandoned for many years along with the idea behind it but now, since meeting Tom, the idea had resurfaced. Not in exactly the same form but similar.

Bill wanted to open a club, a modern club but for those vampires that had been turned against their will and either abandoned by their makers or, for those who chose to live as peacefully as possible amongst the rest of society as best they could for that time. In other words, he wanted to give what he saw as the more enlightened of vampires somewhere to go to, to meet others and feed in safety but still have a good time and above all else, a support mechanism when they needed it. And that is what he was determined to do.

He talked about it to Tom first, explaining his reasons and hoping that the young vampire would be interested in helping, and then he canvassed others that he thought might be interested. Every one of them was empathetic to the idea and pledged their support. It took months of preparations before the huge space that Bill and Tom referred to as the cellar, was turned it into a proper club. Without Tom's vast experience in that scene, Bill doubted that he would have been able to pull it off.

Maddie and Suzie were a great help too. The boys had begun dating them on a regular basis, not so much as a love interest but more out of a mutual friendship, no girl in their right mind objecting to being out and about with two such handsome guys, having a great time and definitely having great sex with no strings attached. They were liberated and loved it.

Gradually Bill and Tom had agreed to let them see what and who they really were. It was a very slow process as neither Bill nor Tom thought that they would be accepted for themselves but as time wore on, both the girls came to know them and like them not for their looks or wealth, but for their personalities. The boys felt that it would be worth the risk to reveal exactly what they were. They knew it was a really big risk but worst case scenario, they could glamour them if things went wrong, but it didn't. They then left it up to the girls to recruit other birds from amongst their friends that would be willing participants to a bit of nocturnal entertainment.

Bill still had a vast circle of vampire colleagues that were living in and around London, many he had known for more than a century. Over the course of the years he had lost touch with a lot of them but when he opened the club word got around quickly. It was gratifying to find how popular it became in a short space of time and within a few months it was the place to go for any vampire that wished to live by the mainstreaming code of ethics and a central meeting place of support for those struggling with the temptation of the darkness.

Only time would tell if it would work or not.
