Who: Riley and Tao
What: final plans
When: four days later
Where: Sanctuary



Tao had worked on getting the schedule for the next couple of weeks so that Riley's people could find out more about this Dubois. He had already started his own research on the man and had not left his sanctuary since. Only the people there and his second knew that he had not really disappeared. He ran the club for Tao in his absence and kept people from panicking.

He was still concerned over Marie's attitude but kept her out of things as much as possible for now. Feeding her information was all he thought of right now and Jeanne had kept her distance during their very short visit. The dizziness had passed, finally, the next day, but he had still felt weak. Smaller meals, and more of them had been William's suggestion and rather then argue it, he agreed and was reminded with a glass every two hours or so.

For now he had let himself go just a bit, a pair of jeans and an open shirt were all he wore while he padded around the house. Sitting in front of the computer, he had finally gotten the office cleaned and new hard wood floors rather then carpet, he ran a hand through his hair and went over the files of Dubois that he had gotten a hold of.

Riley rolled to his side to face the vampire. He reached out a hand to lightly touch his chest. He winced, "I need the night's sleep, my back is sore." He said with a small smile and shifted forward a little, touching his forehead to Tao's shoulder. He allowed his eyes to close. "We'll drown the humans in their own blood and then have all the time in the world for ourselves."

Tao smiled and kissed him. "Well I was trying to relieve your back strain but then you had to bring up the pup." Sitting up just enough to reach the foot of the bed he grabbed at the blanket folded there, most of the time, blankets were unnecessary. Now he wanted that cocoon around them as Riley slept and pulled it over to their shoulders. "Such sweet dreams to drift off to, little wolf." Closing his own eyes he settled back, lazily stroking at his back. "I'll wake you before dawn, before I go cold."

"But I was still horny, you can't blame me for that.." Riley murmured plaintively. His eyes opened briefly when he felt the touch of cloth to his shoulder and he smiled, closing his eyes again. He helped Tao to pull the blanket tighter around them and settled in contentedly against the vampire's chest. It only took a few seconds for him to sink into a drowsy state, and he was asleep before he could think to ask if vampires had dreams.

He didn't sleep, there was a point during the day when the sun was too high, even inside he couldn't handle the feel of it and had to go cold. So there was no reason to sleep right now. Instead he just laid there, regulating his breathing to Riley's. He had been surprised to find breathe at all, and didn't want to lose it just now. His mind worked instead on the humans, on the church. They would have to be caught, exposed, and a trap of them hunting was their best option. He was already formulating how to set it up, and how to get them caught when he felt the first tug of light. The night went too quickly. He nuzzled the top of Riley's head, lightly ran nails in circles over his back. "Dawn is coming little wolf."

Riley resisted the tug of consciousness. He squeezed his eyes a little tighter and pulled closer to Tao's body, as if he could press inside the vampire and escape the morning. Slowly but surely he opened he awakened and he looked up at Tao with half-opened eyes. "Is it?" He mumbled, raising a hand to scratch the back of his head. He let out a soft groan and pushed himself up onto one elbow. "So," He muttered, "It wasn't a dream."

Tao smiled and held him closer. He'd be perfectly fine with keeping him close, his instinct was to do that. Long ingrained rules and acceptable behavior had him wanting to collar and chain him in his room, but he knew Riley wasn't the type to take to something like that. Everything was, uncertain, as far as how to behave and how to proceed.

Loosening his arms he pushed up himself and closed his eyes taking a deep breath. "That depends on what 'it' is. If you are referring to a night full of fucking and tasting and biting and marking in my bed, then no, it wasn't a dream. William is up early, I believe he's cooking something for you." It was the only explanation as Tao didn't eat food.

Riley rose into a sitting position and sniffed at the air, his temple still resting on Tao's shoulder. He licked his upper lips and pushed himself up to sit under his own power. He rubbed at his eyes and groaned, rolling his shoulders back. "Yeah, the fucking, that's it." He groaned, and then pressed a kiss to Tao's cheek. "And, I'm hungry."

Tao tried not to touch him, let him sit up get ready to leave. It would be harder, he thought, just letting him leave, if he started to touch him again. That didn't last long and he licked at his lips, moved to his knees and moved over to straddle him. "Good, I'm hungry too." Lifting hands to knead at his shoulders. "I'd have to say, it was a bit more than just fucking." he admitted.

"What are we going to call it, then?" Riley asked with a cheeky smile, his hands settling easily on the vampire's skin. He turned his head and pressed his cheek against Tao's chest. "Making love?" He continued. "Whatever it was, it was good. He slipped his hands farther back and then wrapped his arms around Tao's waist, holding him close. "Your images aren't as clear in my head anymore." He murmured, "But- I still feel you."

He ran hands down his back, and kissed the top of his head. "I think, making love is supposed to be, softer. We are not soft." He was more than a little relieved to have the images fade, he liked for them to fade from his own mind. "Fading is good, and I would be completely from your system in a matter of weeks to a month. Barring anymore blood." He groaned, "Come on then, we should wash up and you may want to stop William from fully cooking whatever meat he's got for you. Otherwise I may end up keeping you in bed another few hours until I pass out."

In one swift movement, Riley slid to the end of the bed, stood, and lifted Tao up in his arms. "You should drink more of my blood." He said, gently setting the vampire's feet down on the floor. "You would probably gain a little weight." He slid his hands down Tao's sides and then drew them away, setting them on his own hips. "I don't suppose you have a plain old shower in this place, do you?" He asked.

Tao shook his head and stepped back. "First of all, you heal faster but you still need time to replenish, and secondly, I do not gain weight." He smirked, he had a rather plain bathroom in his room. A claw foot tub, a sink, a toilet, and a shower stall. Clear doors, room for maybe three if they pressed in, but it wasn't for luxury, just for efficiency. "Of course, and unscented soaps, most have too much scent to be comfortable in for long. I'll get you a towel and, find, your clothes." He added trying to remember exactly when they'd disrobed and where. He pointed out the door to the side from the sitting room where the bathroom was.

"I didn't mean right now, honestly-" Riley's mouth opened wide in a yawn. He took a step to pass by Tao and let out a light snort. "Soap. Right." He chuckled and reached out a hand to grasp lightly at the vampire's rear before disappearing into the bathroom. He let the water pouring from the shower be cold as it ran down his thoroughly sore back. He scrubbed and scrubbed at his skin, he had to get the smell of death and blood and sex out of his scent before he returned to the pack. He spent about fifteen minutes under the water and another seven drying himself with the towel.

Tao found their clothes, tossed his aside to be cleaned and then stripped the bed and put those linens in the chute as well. He'd have thought to do them himself but William was obviously well aware what was going on, and that wasn't surprising. Laying Riley's clothing on the bed he frowned, he didn't have time to clean them and had nothing that would fit him if these wouldn't do. Stretching, he tried loosening sore muscles before grabbing something to wear until he showered and slept himself later.

Riley emerged from the bathroom, all dry except for his hair, which was still slightly damp. He rounded the bed and leaned over his clothes, bowing his head to sniff at them. He made a face and straightened up to look at Tao. "It's no good." He said. "They smell like sex even though they came off pretty quick." He smiled and shook his head, setting his hands on his hips. "I'll just shift. They're used to having me come back naked because I've shifted." He walked over to the vampire and set a hand on his back, "That food smells good. Are you just going to watch me eat it?"

Tao was just slipping on a T as he came back in. "I can have them cleaned for you. I can always say you left them around after negotiations got, terse." He replied with a grin. "I rarely if ever eat solid food, but I thought I would escort you down to see what William is up to. I trust him, completely but he picks things up a bit too easily."

Riley nodded. "Alright, but no soap." He said firmly. If he came back in clothes cleaned with detergent, it would have been more suspicious than even coming back smelling of blood and sex. He pulled his hand away from Tao's back, "Sounds good to me." He reached out an arm and hooked their elbows together. He gave Tao's arm a tug and proceeded out of the bedroom, through the doors and down the stairs, following the scent the whole while. They came to a dining room that was more spacious than Riley would have thought, and when he saw what was on the table, his eyes widened.

"Don't tell me-" He said, taking his arm away from Tao's. He turned his head the to look at the vampire with a girl, "Your cook-human knows about Shifter appetites?" Without waiting for a response, he strode to the table, turned around himself once then took a seat, and began to tear into the generously sized portion of steak with bear-claws and wolf-teeth.

He rolled his eyes, "What your aversion is to cleaning with soap I'll never understand. All right, no soap. Very very hot water." He kept an eye out on the way down to see if Jeanette was up, she was still much more fragile than he liked. Stopping at the dining room he was less surprised, he honestly didn't think much on what food was prepared.

Tilting his head his lips quirked as Riley started eating. "William is, very educated. He came to me from another household that had a predilection to, pets, of all kinds. I'd be surprised honestly if he didn't know something at this point." He smiled lightly at the coffee carafe' that he knew didn't hold coffee and poured himself a glass before taking a seat. "He made enough for an army." He muttered looking at all the food.

Riley couldn't help the soft growl that escaped from his lips as he ate. The meat was perfect, just the way that shifters liked it; from an animal that had found before dying, and cooked just enough so that it was firm and yet still bled when he dug into it with his teeth. When he looked up at Tao, there was blood at the corners of his lips. He licked it away and grinned. "Really good." He gobbled up the last of the first twelve ounce steak and continued to another one. He sniffed at the air as he ate, "Drinking the stagnant stuff again, Tao?" He asked between bites. "I told you, if you drink mine you won't get as hungry as quickly."

Tao almost laughed, he wasn't disgusted so much as amused at how much Riley was enjoying the food. He'd have to thank William later. Glancing to his glass he shrugged. "Actually I'm not hungry, but I wouldn't want to offend when so much trouble was made to feed us this morning. And careful there, you don't want word out that you are feeding a vampire. It wouldn't end well for either of us."

Riley shrugged his broad shoulders and reached for another steak. He hadn't realized that the previous night had taken so much out of him up until the exact moment the meat had cross his lips, and now that his ferocious appetite had been aroused, he was going to eat until it was satisfied. He met Tao's eyes. "You wouldn't want anyone to know that you're holding shifter fire in your belly, either, vampire." He replied, the right side of his mouth twitching.

"No, I wouldn't. It means you and your pack mean something to me, which puts you all in danger and shows a weakness. One easily exploited to take over my territory." Setting down his untouched glass he pinched the bridge of his nose. "We didn't think, there are vampires that drink shifter blood but not, " Closing his eyes it was worse to explain then leave it alone. "They use them, there are packs that are not as independent as yours, they are in service to the Queen and used and punished at will. Even if I alluded to the situation being the same it would mean disaster for your pack. Tribute would seem like, a vacation."

"So we don't tell." Riley replied. "It's as simple as that." He parted his lips and bared his teeth in a yawn, rolling back his shoulders before he dived back into eating his third steak. "We can just keep our independence and you can keep your reputation for being very strange for a vampire." He shrugged again, "And if any of your underlings ever give you trouble, I'll tear out their throats and throw their heads into the bay." He licked his upper lip. "The problem with you vampires is that you're so old-world about everything. Having a Queen? That's so-" He made a face, "Human of you."

Tao opened his mouth to explain it was not nearly as simple as that then closed it. "Well, we would have a King, but she'd have killed him long ago. I, explained that every vampire lineage has a gift, some are more dangerous than others. Some include calling animals. A visiting Master could force you to shift and would for fun if they smelled one hint of preferential treatment. I'm not worried about 'underlings'. I doubt any outside of this house will have a clue."

Riley's nostrils flared, but other than that he showed no sign of being disturbed by this news. It was something that he would share with his clan's religious elders, a piece of information that would be useful in getting them to refrain from questioning the amount of time he had spent with Tao lately. Despite Riley's affection for this particular vampire, his kind and Tao's kind had been enemies far longer than both of them had existed. "So I'll just say it now." He continued after swallowing a bite of steak. "If some big bad vampire shows up, you can pretend I'm your pet, if that's what it takes to get them off of your back." He let out a soft growl, "I don't care, I went through tribute, I can pretend again."
