Viktor had him exactly where he wanted him. The door was locked; the iron bars of the window were unbreakable. There was no getaway... And Soren knew that Viktor did not lust him, not for real. The elder just wanted someone who would fight back for a change. And the elder could trust Soren to do that. The vampire was loyal and obedient, but Kraven was his lord and possibly he would deny subduing to Viktor's will so easily. Which was exactly what Viktor was hoping for.

Soren backed of until his body met the cold wall. And there he stood, unable to move any further, trapped. Nothing could save him now, from confronting Viktor and his upcoming rage or vice. He could not just close his eyes and pretend he was elsewhere, until the elder's game would be over. No, Viktor would tell and he needed the vampire to be right there. Body and soul. Because nothing amused Viktor more than that, total power on his minion, who was too inferior to be called a lover and too wild to be called a victim of his sadistic ways.

Soren shuddered at the sight of Viktor, approaching him almost threateningly. The elder's figure filled his sight and the vampire's confused mind could only think of this: escape. Soren's trembling hands reached for his silver whip, the weapon he was so skilled at, but now he did not have the courage to raise it and turn it to Viktor, even to threaten him. Any attempts to resist could entertain the elder, maybe lure him even more, since Viktor would always enjoy breaking up those who were hard to get. But attacking the elder- or even defending himself this way- could only get him into serious trouble.

Soren looked at his shaky hands and the whip and then at Viktor again, to meet a pair of cold eyes, staring him with a certain dose of disappointment. Viktor was staring at him as he usually did, making him feel like dirt. He had seen his minion taking his weapon out and this sight stopped him for some moments. Soren believed that he had succeeded in turning Viktor away, or that the elder would now call for his death dealers to come teach the vampire a lesson. That he should never, ever threaten an elder, even if this threat was a simple joke, really. But Viktor wasn't angry, he was just impassive as always. His eyes, the only place someone could probably trace Viktor's feelings, did not betray rage or annoyance. And then Viktor took Soren by surprise, coming closer and slipping his fingers on the vampire's hands, down to the silver whip.

"I would not mind playing with you, servant. But perhaps we should first simply get together, before flavoring this with further vice." He whispered with his deep, cold voice, having brought his body really close to the lesser vampire. Soren hardly stared at the elder's cynical grin, before loosing sight of everything, due to the unexpected warmth of a sudden kiss. The vampire dropped the whip and his hands, hesitant to embrace the elder back, leaned on the stone wall behind him, which was hard and cold, just like Viktor's chest, surrendering his body to this test, slowly giving up his mind and soul to the heat of the moment.
