Blood Brothers

Mick pulled up to Josef's house at about 8pm. He strode toward the door and pounded on it with his fist. He wasn't usually this forceful, but the lack of blood in his body was making him really irritable. He pounded again. The door opened slowly...to slowly... Mick pushed his way into the house only to be caught by the large surly looking vamp who did not appreciate the door being opened into his face. This vamp's impediment between him and Josef's fridge sent Mick over the edge.

Mick's eyes went light blue and his fangs extended. His logical brain was not working… like a drugy looking for his next fix. Mick spun the vamp around forcing his hand behind his back and forced him to the floor in one smooth motion. He placed his knee in the vamps back and pushed…hard. The vamp had no time to resist and was helplessly pinned. "Nice work," Mick looked up, startled by the voice, "But please Mick, next time leave my help out of you personal problems." Josef smiled as Mick regained control of his senses.

"Josef... I..." Mick was lost for words, what he had done…this was not him. it scared him Pull it together St. John.

Josef smiled, "No problem, I hired him to guard the door and guard it he has... albeit ineffectively, but it was all in the line of duty." Josef scanned his doorman who was righting himself. The man cowered under Josef's observing eye; obviously Mick's pin had hurt his pride and worse his reputation. Josef turned disappointedly from his doorman, another large vamp emerged and quietly took the man's place. Mick had just cost this poor vamp his job.
Josef addressed Mick, "When was the last time you had something to drink? You look ravished."

Thank you Mr. Obvious, Luckily Mick bit his tongue, he hardly imagined a struggle with Josef coming out the same as with the doorman. Not that he had ever seen Josef fight, but he didn't doubt he could, Josef wasn't the kind to go looking- oh shut up Mick shook off this thought and answered, "Yesterday. I meant to go to the morgue this morning, but it was late and then this evening Guillermo is off." Mick's irritability was coming full circle. "I would have had enough for the rest of the week, but yesterday you-"

"Say no more my friend. I have a large selection to choose from… any type you prefer? If I remember correctly you liked redheads… or are you into blonds now?" Josef motioned and a parade of young females emerged from the back rooms. Mick was impressed at their organization, as if they had this routine planned out.

"It doesn't matter, as long as she knows when to stop me." Mick hated the monster that was rising inside him upon seeing the room full of willing beautiful girls.
Josef smiled, "That takes half the fun out of it." Mick glared at him, sure Josef didn't share Mick's views on feeding, but Mick hated being reminded that Josef had no qualms on killing his meal.

Josef saw Mick's mixed expression, both hatred and disappointment. Josef wished his friend would get past this monster phase, but as long as he kept hanging around with human and pining after that reporter, he would never embrace his inner vamp.

"Rose," Josef motioned a stunning brunette from the back of the crowd and then turned to Mick, "She is experienced and willing. She will make sure nothing happens." Josef had dropped the pleasure from his voice, after all, Mick was his closest friend and some part of Josef wanted Mick to respect him. Mick strode forward and almost attacked Rose in his eagerness to feed. Josef silently motioned the rest of the crowd out of the room. He knew Mick hated people observing him as a monster.

Rose was experienced; she happened to be one of Josef's favorites. She didn't even flinch when he grabbed her arm. She knew Mick needed her blood, bad and she let him have more then she would normally. Pulling away too soon from a hungry vamp, could cause worse reparations then the headache she would get from loss of blood.

In his hunger, Mick had not had time to seduce his prey. Usually there was a build-up of anticipation on both sides that allowed for both parties to take pleasure in the act of feeding. Rose understood, she didn't complain, she knew Josef would compensate her well.

As Mick feed she felt his hunger turn to desire. That was it. He had reached his fill. Now he was just enjoying himself. He really was a gentleman, because he didn't even try to stop her as she gently pulled her arm away. She swooned from loss of blood and he picked her up and laid her on the couch. He looked away, disgusted at himself. Josef walked up and guided him from the room motioning to the new doorman to move Rose to one of the guest rooms.

"Well, now that you are back to yourself. I have an offer for you." Josef smiled. Mick looked up, the hunger in his eyes was replaced with sadness. Josef worried again about Mick's constant self-loathing, but he continued with his offer, "There is a new club in town..."

Again reviews are really, really appreciated!!!!
