Chapter 5 - Nightmoves

Mike leaned back against his car outside the club scanning the crowd making its way inside. A mixture of young, beautiful people moved towards the doors of the Deadhead club bumping and flirting with each other. Guys in their 30's looking to score one of those beautiful bodies for the night, impressing them with their money their style, a fair exchange of goods and services. Mike had to admit after spending so long without a woman under him that tonight the selection was tempting. Sex without connection was never a dish he found appealing but maybe tonight he might just some relief when his work was done. Just the thought brought a stirring causing him to shift position.

Henry pulled up outside the club and spotted Mike leaning against his car. He was pleased to note that for once Mike "fit" into the club scene look and had foregone his usual suit and tie for something that looked appropriate for men hunting down sexual favors. Henry groaned, maybe thinking about sex wasn't such a good idea, it had a few days since they had come together, Vicki tired and Henry not wanting to push and not sure about how to control the beast within him roaring for blood as he took his pleasure.

Getting out of the car Henry mentally pulled himself together. Tonight he was here to find answers with Mike, he needed to focus, he was here to hunt.

"Well Fitzroy was it hard getting out tonight" asked Mike sauntering up to the prince.

Henry frowned thinking back to the 'revelation' from Vicki. "No, it wasn't" was his short, curt reply looking away from Mike.

"Hum, ooookay don't ask don't tell huh. Listen, do you need to grab a 'bite' to eat before we begin or are you good? " said Mike scanning the crowd.

"I could eat" said Henry looking down and then deciding, why not have a little fun.

"Are you offering" asked Henry smiling up at Mike.

"Back off fangboy" said Mike laughing. "Since when did feeding off men become more appealing?"

Henry laughed at this comment. "When you have lived as long as I have detective you sample pretty much everything on the buffet".

"Now that, is a little too much sharing your Highness" replied Mike. It didn't surprise him, after all if he didn't know Henry as well as he did he probably would have thought at times he was batting for the other team.

"Shall we" asked Henry leading. Henry moved pass the lines of people with Mike in tow and looked into the formidable bouncers eyes whispering.

"We... are... V.I.P.'s... vamping him. Henry Fitzroy never waited in lines.

"Yes sirs please come this way through the VIP entrance" the bouncer ushered them through a separate door into a section of the club pulsing with energy.

"I'll just grab a little something now and I'll met you back over by the bar"

"Sure" said Mike wondering how Vicki put up with Henry going into nightclubs to feed off beautiful girls. It wasn't his problem thank god.

Henry circulated the crowd enjoying the scent of sexual arousal in the air. God how was he going to manage just feed here. It was a mistake but now it was too late, he was here to work and needed to get control of the hunger. Just then a young woman moved in front of him blocking his way, pressing her body slightly against his while looking into his eyes.

"Woops" she said while licking her lips and gazing down at his mouth. Henry after a moment of confusion decided to go with what was in front of him. It would be quicker. Pushing her back towards a darkened corner he moved his intertwined his fingers with hers securing the hand safely away from the side of the neck so as to prevent injury if she was to move suddenly. Her heart rate increased and the skin flushed with an infusing of fresh blood, dilating the veins. Her arousal was becoming a problem for him and he hesitated thinking maybe he should just abandon this feeding and move onto someone who wasn't so interested. Just then she reached down with her free hand and grabbed onto his forming erection. Henry hissed trying to move her hand away and while distracted she moved forward bring her lips to his mouth.

God, this was complicated, too complicated and Henry pulled back from the kiss and captured her eyes with his allowing his eyes to flash black and fangs extending.

"You do not find me sexually attractive, you will stand still" Henry used the voice but had to fight the animal within him screaming at him to satisfy, sex and blood, sex and blood.

The beauty became still in his arms letting her hand fall away from his now throbbing erection. Henry drew back from her body with a groan letting his head rest against her shoulder catching his breath and trembling. Slowly he moved his fangs towards her neck, letting them sink in out of instinct. He drank down her blood and cooling passion, he missed the connection but knew that right now if he was to give pleasure to this girl as well as take too much pleasure from the feeding he would have her against the wall of the alley behind the club. God how did it become so hard.
