Chapter 12 - Hard Days Night
Henry walked into Bruce's hotel room absentmindedly feeling his shoulder which was healing slowly without the aid of fresh blood. The wound was deep and with torn muscles and tendons making the use of his left arm difficult until completely healed. Bruce followed behind, gun still drawn and pointed at his head.
"I'm assuming even you couldn't survive an explosive bullet to the head" said Bruce as casually as if discussing the weather. Neither Bruce or Henry had exchanged a word on the drive over with Bruce insisting Henry drive so he could keep his weapon drawn.
"What is it you want?" asked Henry in clipped tones, muscles twitching in his jaw from frustration. He threw himself into the nearest arm chair forgetting about his shoulder wound.
"Good question Henry and I guess I should do a little explaining myself before I get the answers I need from you my darling" replied Bruce.
Henry considered for a moment rushing Bruce, his worst fear in the last 50 years was coming to the attention of just such an agency as the CIA or KGB, being turned into a lab rat never to see the light of day. With effort he held himself back and waited for Bruce to continue.
"Imagine my surprise last year going over the surveillance tapes after a little bird whispered in my ear how 'lucky' I was being in the penthouse with you humm. Bruce paused settling himself back into his chair, gun still pointed in Henry's direction but in a more relaxed manner.
"I had no idea at the time what he was talking about and just for your information, that never happens. Of course I then went back over the tapes and surprise surprise what did I see but you Henry Fitzroy leading me like a meek little lamb into the bathroom. I must say if it was just sex I wouldn't have needed any kind of mind control, but since I wanted to avoid being under your control again I underwent some serious resistance training with the CIA" Bruce smiled at Henry.
"Well one thing lead to another and before you know it I have a full blown mystery on my hands, a man who has one of the most cleverly doctored pasts, a man who survives a bomb blast that killed everybody within his radius, a man almost gutted in the back of a police car yet walks out of hospital 1 day later, I've seen photos of you taken over 50 years ago in Paris. Quite a mystery indeed."
"I saw the way you looked tonight Henry fighting off those wolves, are you what I think you are?" asked Bruce eagerly leaning forward.
Henry stared coldly back at Bruce refusing to talk even though he knew that refusal was pointless.
"Okay, at a guess I would have to say vampire" Bruce shivered with pleasure at just saying the word out load. "I'm right, yes I can see from that look in your eye, plus the fact your shoulder which was badly torn up is now well on its way to being healed"
"Lets just get to the point Bruce, just what do you want from me?" asked Henry closing his eyes against the pain of a headache which a vampire was supposedly never to suffer from.
"I'm not going to say anything to the powers that be Henry, you might not believe it but I really like you and Vicki. I just wanted to know the truth. From one monster to another Henry, tell me what it's like?"
"That's all, you just want a run down on vampire life then I'm free to go on with mine?" asked an incredulous Henry.
"Well, not quite all, just two other things keeping in mind that if I disappear or turn up dead all the information I have gathered on you will go straight to the CIA headquarters and both you and your child will be turned into CIA lab rats."
Henry growled low in the back of is throat, eyes turning to black and fangs showing, just barely hanging onto his humanity in the face of such a threat.
"I'd want to experience what its like to feed a vampire, I've heard its quite erotic. Second I want you to have sex with me" Bruce put his gun away and laced his fingers humming to himself waiting for Henry's answer.
"Fine, if thats what you want and it means you will leave me and my family alone then lets get on with it" replied Henry bristling with angry.
Bruce moved from his chair and sat besides Henry knowing that he had this beautiful man just where he wanted him. Bruce understood monsters being one himself for many years. The CIA always needed at least a few on the books working for them. Sometimes it took a monster to catch a monster and there was none better than doing this than Agent Foster.
Henry moved towards the man leaving his eyes blackened and began to scent the agent nuzzling his neck and using his fingers to loosen the knot on his tie, slowly pulling it from around his neck making his heartbeat pound in anticipation. Hearing his heart beating faster Henry allowed his hunger to begin to surface and unbuttoned Bruce's shirt drawing his hand down the agents body and slowly running is fingers over his erect nipples.
Bruce felt the power of his focused seduction washing over him in waves, it was no wonder tall blond and beautiful Mike and Henry were an item. Who or what could possibly resist the power of the vampires seduction. Bringing his lips to the side of Bruce's neck Henry gently nipped and kissed moving all the while to the place where the blood hummed the loudest and called to him. Henry moved his head back just a fraction before driving his fangs deep into Agents Fosters neck causing him to scramble, gasping in pain and beginning to feel waves of panic at the sudden and dramatic blood loss caused by Henry's deep and powerful suction at his neck. Henry then pushed him back towards the couch until he was lying on top of him, pinning him down with his superior strength and taking blood at a faster rate until he could hear the Agents heart begin to flutter.
Henry pulled off reluctantly fangs dripping blood and panting from the sudden blood rush he never allowed himself. He couldn't kill this man but he could use that one last weapon a vampire had on an unwilling victim to gain control when the usual mind tricks didn't work. It involved pulling as much of the victims life essence and blood into the vampire as quickly as possible bring down all their hard won resistance, leaving them open and in the control of the vampire. In all his years Henry had only used this last resort once, vowing to never use it again as it was no different from raping an unwilling victim. He looked deep into the Agents eyes pressing his weight down into his body.
"You will destroy all evidence of Henry Fiztroy being different. You will feel no need to look into his past again, you will forget tonight thinking you retired early not feeling well, you do not believe in vampires"
Slowly he backed off the agent knowing that no mortal could withstand the draining and mind rape. Henry pulled off Bruce's blood stained shirt closing the wounds telling the agent to clean up and go to bed just wanting the whole night to be over
Henry sat staring out of the window the of taxi seeing nothing, too tired for any emotion. As Vicki was so fond of saying 'it has been a really long night'.
