A couple of hours later Justin was standing on the doorstep of Lance�s house waiting for someone to answer the door. He had a bag thrown over his shoulder with a couple of essentials and also was carrying a case of beer even though they had told him not to bring anything. He was slightly nervous about the evening ahead, but overlying the nervousness was an excitement about what may happen.
Chris answered the door wearing a pair of black silk boxers and nothing else. Justin took a deep breath and tried not to think what Lance would be wearing.
�Um, did I interrupt something?� Justin asked tentatively.
�No. Why?� Chris asked puzzled and then followed Justin�s gaze to the boxers and laughed briefly. �Oh, the boxers. We tend to go around here in as little as possible. If it makes you nervous I will put more on.� Justin shook his head and then smiled shyly.
�Please, I want to get to know the real Lance and Chris. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable.�
�Are you sure J? You know a lot about us, but this may be too much.�
�Chris, please. I�m trying to understand and I can�t understand if you aren�t completely truthful about all of this.� Justin said quietly.
�Chris let him in and leave him alone.� Lance said from the living room. �He has the right to know everything and this is part of it.� When Justin looked up he saw Lance was standing in the doorway with a pair of green silk boxers hugging his skin tightly. Justin didn�t think he had ever seen Lance look so good before.
�Lance, you know he can�t handle you if you�re not blocking at all.� Chris said sternly as he felt Lance�s pull and knew Justin would not be able to resist.
�Chris,� Lance looked at him briefly, �he wants to know.� Chris looked between Lance and Justin and knew there was no way he could stop what was about to happen. Justin had felt Lance�s pull, the sexuality he radiated when he didn�t block it. In six hundred and fifty years Chris had not met one person who could say no to Lance when he let his shields down. Even Chris could be drawn in when Lance turned his attention his way.
Justin dropped his bag and the case of beer on the floor in the entryway and then slowly walked up to Lance. Justin�s eyes skimmed all of Lance, admiring everything he saw. He was enthralled by Lance, but this wasn�t the first time he had felt this way in Lance�s presence. In fact, since Justin had turned seventeen Lance had been the object of the majority of Justin�s fantasies with the other guys filling in the rest. Being a gay man in the presence of four incredibly sexy men did have its advantages.
�I want to kiss you.� Justin whispered. �May I?� He didn�t know which of the men he was asking, but as soon as he saw Lance nod he decided he had gotten the answer he needed. �I�ve wanted you for so long.� Justin whispered right before his lips brushed Lances. They pressed their lips together several times with each kiss getting longer until they both dove in. Lance quickly took the initiative and plunged his tongue into Justin�s mouth. Exploring every inch thoroughly. Justin�s hands went to Lance�s hips and grasped firmly trying to steady himself as he got lost in the feel of Lance.
They were broken out of the kiss by the sound of Chris clearing his throat loudly. �If you two are really going to do this, I would think you would be much more comfortable in the bedroom or at least on the couch.� Justin expected him to be upset he was kissing Lance, but he sounded more indulgent then anything. He felt Lance nod and then he was pulled towards the couch and pushed down so he was sprawled across the large piece of furniture. Lance followed him down and plunged back into the kiss, taking up right where they had left off.
Justin was so lost in the sensations Lance was creating in him he didn�t even think of fighting for control of the kiss. He just laid back and allowed Lance to take him on a pleasure filled ride. Justin had always thought Lance had a sexy mouth, actually Justin had always thought everything about Lance was sexy. What he was learning now was how skillful Lance�s mouth could be. If someone had asked before, Justin would have said Lance�s kisses would be laid back and slow, but nothing could be further from the truth. Lance kissed with every thing he had. It was intense and passion filled. Lance covered every inch of his mouth and then started to work across Justin�s cheek and latched on to his ear.
Snapping out of his desire filled haze only long enough to glance at Chris and make sure he wasn�t crossing some invisible line, Justin gave all his attention to not drowning in the desire washing over him. He shivered as Lance�s hot breath puffed into his ear and moaned when Lance started to suck behind his ear, leaving a bright mark Justin would wear for days to come.
�How does this work?� Justin asked breathlessly.
�Same way as normal JuJu.� Chris said from beside them where he was observing the two men. �If you didn�t know we were doing it, you wouldn�t even notice it.� Justin tried to nod but his neck was being attacked by Lance�s lips and there was no way he was going to risk disturbing him!
When Justin felt Lance�s hands running underneath his shirt, slowly pushing it up, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had wanted Lance for several years now and could not help from worrying Lance was going to call a halt when he realized the man he was kissing was Justin. He focused on each kiss, each caress incase Lance did change his mind.
�Relax J.� Chris whispered. �I can promise you Lance doesn�t want to stop here. He wants you as much as you want him. We both do.� Justin looked up shocked at Chris with the pronouncement both of these men wanted him. With no glamour spells, Justin could tell his two friends were dripping in sensuality. They could have anyone they wanted and they wanted him? It just didn�t make sense to the younger man, he wouldn�t say anything and risk it stopping though.
The next thing Justin knew he had Lance straddling him with both of them bare chested. Their chests brushed each other and they both gasped at the electricity flowing between them. It was at this point Justin could no longer submit to everything happening between them. He grabbed hold of Lance�s neck and pulled his lips down to crash against his own. When they were both well involved in the kiss, he let his hands wander down to the ass he had lusted after for so long. Pulling Lance even closer to him. He could feel Lance�s erection against his own through their clothes and knew he needed to feel Lance�s cock against his skin more then he needed air to breath right now. Letting his hands drag around Lance�s hips, he set to work on ridding Lance of his boxer shorts. As soon as Lance was freed from the boxers, Justin grasped the hardened flesh, mapping it with his fingers.
Lance then set to work removing the remainder of Justin�s clothing. He paused briefly to look over at Chris and admit with his gaze at least Chris had been right about his feelings for Justin. Lance noticed Chris� hand was brushing the edge of his boxers and was sure Chris� hand would be working at his own erection just as soon as the other two men were busy beside him. Lance smirked once more in Chris� direction and then moved his attention back to Justin.
They had all seen each other naked several times, but it had been a little while since Lance had seen Justin and the younger man had certainly matured into a sexy man. Muscles rippled across his body and his skin seemed to glow in the muted lights of the room. Lance could not control himself from leaning down and licking from Justin�s neck down to his navel, trying to find Justin�s sensitive spots along the way.
Justin�s breath caught as he felt Lance move lower and nip at the hollow of his hip before bypassing his groin and working his way down his legs. Lance took special care to explore all of Justin and he was sure to pay special attention to each of Justin�s tattoos, which seemed to make Justin�s breath speed up every time another tattoo was licked thoroughly. Once there was no more of Justin to lick on the front side of his body except his rock-hard penis which was steadily leaking pre-cum and straining upwards, Lance met Justin�s eyes and smiled. Even though he was at the edge of his endurance, Justin had to smile back as he realized this was not just a buddy fuck to Lance, it was as special to him as it was to Justin.
�Please Lance. I can�t wait any longer.� Justin begged after a minute of just looking into each other�s eyes. Lance took pity on him and leaned down to engulf all of Justin with his mouth in one movement. Lance�s tongue seemed to be everywhere on Justin, drawing out responses he didn�t even know he was capable of. Just when he thought he couldn�t take anymore, Lance pulled back breathing heavily.
�Not yet, J. I�ve waited to long for this for it to be over this quickly.� Lance said and then pulled back to where the only thing touching Justin was the tips of his fingers which he was running all over Justin. That gentle touch was enough to keep the fires burning in Justin to a low inferno while somehow calming him at the same time. This touching went on and on until Justin lost awareness of everything but Lance�s touch and the smell of his skin. The two of them were totally in tuned to each other, neither even aware of Chris sitting right next to them.
Lance leaned down one more time and engulfed Justin, swirling his tongue all over Justin�s cock until he was well lubricated and then he straddled Justin�s hips and sunk down onto Justin. Once Justin was completely inside of Lance the two men just stopped and stared at each other again. Both could almost hear the silent conversation going on, making promises neither would be able to say out loud for some time to come.
Eventually they reached the point where they had to move and begin a rhythm unique to the two of them. Their eyes never broke contact as Lance thrust downward as Justin thrust up. Moans and sighs filled the air as the concentrated on each other and the pleasure washing through them. Thrust after thrust; moan after moan they continued on to the point both were searching for.
When the pleasure began to wash over him and the vampire hunger began to feed, Lance was shocked out of his daze. He had never experienced anything like this where he forgot the hunger in search of pleasure. Both he and Chris drank in the pleasure which filled the room as both Lance and Justin climaxed loudly.
�Oh God,� Justin panted, �is it always like that?�
�It has never been with a non-vampire.� Chris said in awe as the meaning of what he said occurred to him. He knew then Lance had found his soul mate and he could only hope the two men would not cast him out now because unknown to either of them, he loved them too much to let them go without a fight.
They eventually made it up to the bedroom where they all collapsed together and fell asleep. Somehow during the middle of the night the three men became entangled with Chris in between Lance and Justin. Chris was the first to wake up and he fought to control his breathing so he didn�t disturb either of the men wrapped around him. The comfort he received from feeling Lance�s breath on his neck and Justin�s hand curled over his hip could not be expressed with words. He was content for the first time he could remember.
Chris was so lost in his thoughts he didn�t realize Justin was awake and watching him. Although Chris and Lance had told all of them they were not in love and there relationship was built on friendship, Justin could tell it had become more for Chris. Knowing how long the two had been together made Justin wonder just how long Chris had felt more for Lance then he was admitting. Looking back, Justin realized although he had always wanted Lance, he had also had a crush on Chris since the early days of NSYNC. He wasn�t sure what was going to happen now, but he did know he did not want to come between Chris and Lance.
�Chris, it will be okay.� Justin whispered as he stroked the older mans cheek. �Please don�t worry.�
�I didn�t know you were awake.� Chris said after he got over the shock Justin�s sudden words and touch had created. �I�m okay J. I promise. How bout you though? You�ve had a lot thrown at you in the past couple of weeks.�
Justin smiled serenely before answering Chris. �Yes, it was a shock. But I realized you were the same two people I�ve known all these years, I just have a little more background information then I did before. Yes I still have questions, but I know you or Lance will answer them eventually. I also know I am safe with the two of you. I figure I will take it all one day at a time and see what happens. There is no reason to worry about things that may never come to pass.�
�How did you get so smart JuJu?� Chris asked surprised. �It seems like just yesterday you were so young and innocent and now here you are giving me good advice while lying in bed naked. Lance kept telling me you were more grown-up and mature then I saw and all I could see was the lost boy I had originally met. I�m sorry I underestimated you Justin.�
�I grew up. I had four guys who were beside my side through some of the most amazing adventures a person could go through. The four of you taught me how to be a friend and a man. If I am smart it is because of all of you.� Justin said completely serious.
�I think the amazing man was always there hiding behind the geeky kid I originally met. You always had it in you; it just needed time before it showed itself.� Both men were whispering softly as if afraid to say the words too loud and ruin the closeness between them.
�Thank you Chris.� Justin said fighting not to give in to his emotions. �You will never know how much your praise and approval mean to me.� He leaned up to softly kiss Chris, wanting to show his appreciation for the older man. When their lips touched for the first time a spark was felt deep inside each of them. They pulled back and stared at each other making sure the emotions were mutual before diving back in.
Surprisingly it was Justin who took the lead, forcing Chris� body down to the tangled sheets and following him down. He was settled half on Chris, learning Chris� mouth with his tongue. Chris was amazed Justin would even want to kiss him when Lance was lying close by. Chris knew he had the same pull as any vampire who fed off of sensual desire, but Lance had a power that seemed to attract people even more when he wasn�t masking it. Chris knew Lance had let down all his shields as soon as they had gotten home the day before, so why wasn�t Justin going after Lance right now?
�Chris, stop thinking and kiss me back.� Justin mumbled and then dove back in to see if Chris would comply. It took Chris only a second before he realized thinking could wait till later, right now was for enjoying the man who was currently . . . oh the things Justin could do with his mouth and wow, those hands were wandering down his chest and they felt like they were trailing sparks along the way.
Justin smirked into the kiss as he heard Chris� breath catch and saw his hands fisting into the sheets. It gave the younger man a thrill to know he could have this affect on Chris. The additional confidence pushed him onward. Justin trailed his lips down Chris� neck, nuzzling at the base when he felt Chris hiss. He then worked down to the older man�s nipples were he gently nibbled and then licked and sucked first one and then the other causing Chris to thrust up into his mouth. Justin licked his way down, swirling around his belly button and across his navel until he was staring at Chris� erection. He took a moment to glance up and make sure Chris was still okay with what was going on before he licked at the weeping head, savoring the taste. If possible Chris got even harder when he felt Justin�s breathe and tongue on his aching flesh. When Justin took the head into his mouth and began to suck, Chris let all pretenses of control go and just let the feelings flow through him.
�J, I�m close.� Chris managed to gasp out as he looked down to find Justin thrusting against the bed as he swallowed Chris further. Both men quickly fell over the edge, moaning loudly as they came. Justin managed to pull himself up to Chris� level and kiss him gently on the lips before collapsing in his arms.
�That was the hottest thing I�ve ever seen.� Lance�s voice broke through the silence.
Several hours later found the three men in an uneasy silence. They all knew they needed to talk, but none of them were really ready for what needed to be said. Still, some things had to be said for the safety of everyone involved. They all took quick showers and grabbed some breakfast before gathering on the back porch to get the discussion over with as quickly as possible. What they didn�t realize was their conversation was being observed from the house behind them.
�I don�t regret last night.� Justin burst out as soon as the all had been seated. �I think I need to let you know and I think you also need to know I want to repeat it.�
�Justin . . .� Chris said warily. �You just found out about Lance and I. You�re still asking questions and trying to understand.�
�I know what I want.� Justin said defiantly.
�Justin, you know about our powers, especially Lance�s.� Chris explained. �Right now I don�t think there is anyway you can realistically say you are making this decision with your head.�
�Chris, I�ve been attracted to both you and Lance for years. This isn�t just because of last night.�
�Justin. I think what Chris is trying to say is you need to deal with all the information we have given you. You need to think it all through and come up with a rational decision before you get involved in this part of our world.� Lance continued stopping Justin from trying to break in with a wave of his hand. �Even if you do decide you want to be apart of all of this, we are not going to abuse our relationship with you. You know we are feeding when we have sex and the knowledge is a step in the right direction, but we will not use you.�
�It�s not using me if I volunteer. The two of you seem to think I�m still a child and I�m not!�
�J, we don�t think you are a child.� Lance tried to explain calmly. �What we do think is you found out two of your friends are vampires and you need time to process the information. The three of us also need time to figure out just where we want our relationship to go. Right now, I think we all need to take a step back so we can look at it logically. We are not saying last night will never be repeated, just we need to consider everything before it is.�
Justin realized this was an argument he wasn�t going to win. If they thought he needed to think things over for awhile, then he was going to have to take the time they thought he needed. Looking between the two he realized there were issues to be resolved between the two men as well. Chris and Lance had always declared they were just good friends who helped each other out sexually. From the looks Chris was giving Lance it was more to him. Maybe they all needed some time to figure out what they were really feeling and what they wanted from all of this.
�Okay. I will think about all of this some more. But I want you both to think about the fact I have wanted you for years. Before I found out about your being vampires and before I found out the two of you were bisexual, I wanted you. Thanks for last night. I�ll talk to you later.� Having said what he needed to, Justin left knowing the two men probably had things to discuss on their own.
Once Justin had left Chris and Lance looked at each other in shock. What they didn�t realize is the shock was mirrored on the faces of the men watching them next door.
�We need to get rid of them as soon as possible. It is obvious they will eventually turn that one to their evil ways. We might have to kill him as well, it is apparent they have told him everything. The Institute leaders will not want any lose ends. We have been chasing these two for too many years to let any loose ends slip by. Yes, we will need to kill all three of them.�
* * * * *
Chris had to fly to Los Angeles to take care of Fu Man Skeeto business in early January. Lance stayed in Orlando to allow them some time apart. Since the night with Justin several weeks earlier they had slowly grown apart as they realized both of them had some issues needing to be dealt with though neither of them felt ready to face their feelings for Justin and each other.
Three days after Chris had left Lance had completely all of the things for FreeLance and Happy Place he had planned. After his tenth call in one day to the office he was told to take a break and they would call if they needed him. He was upset about their attitude until he thought about how little they were getting done with him bothering them all the time. Both businesses were used to him working away from the office and only calling in once or twice a day. To have him calling constantly annoying them would disrupt the normal routine. If he actually had something to say it would have been different, but he was calling simply to be able to do something. It was time to come up with something else to entertain himself.
He was lost in thoughts of what he could do to entertain himself when the sound of the phone broke through his reflection. He contemplated not answering it, but then decided it would at least keep him occupied for a couple of minutes.
�Hello.�
�Lance?� Justin�s tentative voice came through the phone. �I know you are probably busy, but I just . . . Fuck. This was supposed to be easy. We are friends still right?�
�Of course we are still friends Justin. I�m never too busy for you either. So, what do you need?�
�I was just missing you. I was wondering if maybe you would like to just hang out or something.� Lance could tell Justin was still expecting him to say no and although he knew he should, there was no way he could say no to the younger man.
�Why don�t you come over and we can order some food and watch a movie or something.�
�Sounds good. About an hour?� Lance agreed and then hurried to clean up and change clothes. He knew Justin had seen him at his worst, but he still wanted to make sure he looked presentable when presented with the beauty of Justin Timberlake.
By the time Justin arrived, Lance had changed into a pair of jeans and tank top Justin had once commented looked good on him. Lance was happy to see Justin dressed similarly. They quickly agreed on Chinese food and tried to find a movie to watch while they waited for it to be delivered. Forty-five minutes later they were seated in the living room dishing up their food and ready to start the movie.
�Did the delivery place get a new driver? I�d never seen him before.� Justin asked knowing the Chinese restaurant they ordered from tended to send out the same driver every time to the celebrity homes.
�Must have. I�d never seen him before. He didn�t make a big deal out of who I was, so they probably told him where he was coming. Of course, he may just not know who we are.� Lance laughed at their arrogance of thinking every one they ran into would know who they were and be a fan.
�Stranger things have happened.� Justin agreed knowing they did get a little arrogant about their success sometimes. �So are we ready to start the movie?�
�Yep. I am ready.� Lance said as he hit the play button on the remote control and then sat back against the couch.
They were about halfway through the movie when Lance felt a strange cramping in his stomach. As a vampire the only time he had gotten sick was when he had gotten the bad blood and Chris had altered the doctor�s mind enough to have him say it was a heart problem. Lance had not drank any blood in a couple of weeks though. He was tempted to just ignore it until he felt another sharp pain go through his torso and he couldn�t control the moan from escaping.
�Lance?� Justin looked over worriedly. �What�s wrong?�
�I�m not sure.� Just then the worst pain so far went through Lance bringing tears to his eyes and robbing his breath. Justin took one look at Lance and realized this was something serious. From what Chris and Lance had told him, they couldn�t get sick. So why was Lance balled up on the couch in obvious agony? He quickly went to Lance�s side to see if there was anything he could do. Lance had a thin layer of perspiration on his skin, but where as he was normally quite warm, now Lance�s skin was very cool to the touch.
�Lance, I don�t know what to do. You told me you couldn�t get sick. What do I do to help?� Justin asked worriedly as another shot of pain went through Lance. He pulled the older man into his arms hoping to give some kind of comfort and avoid panicking. �Tell me what to do Lance.� Justin said firmly knowing they were running out of time. Something serious was wrong and it was weakening Lance quickly. Five minutes earlier Lance was fine and now he couldn�t control the shaking of his body.
�J, don�t know what�s wrong.� Lance gasped out. �Never felt like this before.�
�Tell me what I can do Lance.� Justin told his friend, searching his mind for anything Chris and Lance had told him that might help. The only thing he came up with was how they fed with sex and sometimes blood. But Lance had said he never felt like this before. If he needed to feed wouldn�t he know it? Justin realized while he had been lost in thought for a couple of minutes, he hadn�t heard anything from Lance. Justin looked down to find Lance only semi-conscious and his skin almost icy to the touch.
�Lance? Lance, can you hear me?� Justin asked frantically. When he didn�t get a response he realized it was up to him to save his friend now and his options were limited. �Lance, I�m going to try to help. The only thing I can think of is that you need to feed. Please forgive me if I�m wrong.� Justin said with tears running down his face.
He laid Lance down gently and worked to get his pants off as quickly as he could all the while praying what he was about to do would help. Once Lance�s pants and boxers were lowered Justin grabbed Lance�s flaccid penis in his hand. He rubbed it with one hand while getting his other hand wet with saliva to use as lubricant. He switched hands and set a quick pace to harden Lance. Once there was a hard erection to work with, Justin leaned down and took Lance into his mouth. He didn�t stop until he felt Lance slip down his throat and then he started to work his tongue all over Lance while his now free hand worked into Lance trying to find his prostate.
Justin was working to bring Lance to a quick release with his mouth and one hand while he worked himself with his other hand. The moans coming from Lance were incredibly weak and Justin was trying to concentrate on the man below him so he could get them both off and feed Lance. He could feel Lance getting closer and knew there was one more way Lance needed to feed. He pulled his fingers out of Lance and grabbed the knife sitting on the table by him and cut into his wrist just enough to get the blood flowing. He lifted his wrist to Lance�s mouth, hoping Lance was not too far-gone to feed.
Just as Lance started to cum, he also weakly grabbed Justin�s wrist and began to suck. The feeling of Lance drinking from him set Justin�s orgasm off as well. When Justin looked up at Lance he could almost see him getting a little better from the sexual feeding. Lance was still very cold to the touch though and Justin worried this wouldn�t be enough.
�J, I need more blood. Please.� Lance whispered.
�What can I do?� Justin asked worriedly.
�I need your neck, please J.� Lance begged weakly. Justin was immediately by Lance offering up his neck which was seized by Lance. The first feel of Lance�s teeth breaking through the skin was shocking, but then settled down to a dull ache. Lance continued to feed for several minutes until Justin started to feel very faint. It was as if Lance could tell that Justin had given as much as he could because he pulled away at the same moment Justin was thinking he couldn�t handle much more.
�I�m sorry J.� Lance�s voice rasped.
�There�s no reason to be sorry Lance.� Justin murmured as he laid his head down on the couch beside Lance.
�I took too much from you. It�s been years since I took so much. I can�t heal the wounds either. Maybe in awhile I�ll be able to though.� Lance said as he drifted off to sleep. Justin looked up worriedly. Lance seemed a little better though. He wasn�t sweating like before and his skin wasn�t cold. Justin knew he needed to clean both of them up though. He went up to Lance�s room and grabbed a couple pairs of sweats and then went to the bathroom to grab a warm wash cloth after cleaning himself up. He cleaned the wound on his wrist as well as the one on his neck and pulled on one pair of the sweats before heading back downstairs. Lance had not moved while he was gone, so Justin cleaned him up with the wash cloth and pulled the other pair of sweats on him. Once they were both cleaned up, Justin climbed on the couch with Lance and pulled him close before falling asleep himself. Hopefully when he woke up both of them would feel better.
It was about six hours later Justin woke up still holding Lance tight. His first thought was he had never felt this bad before. His wrist and neck throbbed constantly and he felt as if he was freezing. When he shifted he realized all of his muscles ached more than they ever did after a long rehearsal. It took him a minute or two to realize why he felt this way and remembered Lance and what had happened.
Justin looked down at the man in his arms and tried to assess his condition without disturbing him. Lance�s skin felt a little more normal to him, no longer so icy to the touch. He did have a thin layer of sweat on his skin and was still pale. Justin was worried, but at least he seemed to be sleeping peacefully no longer in obvious pain. Justin still didn�t know what had happened or why, but he sensed Lance�s life had been in jeopardy and they were lucky feeding had helped. Speaking of feeding, Justin looked at all the Chinese food still laying on the coffee table and sighed at the thought it was all ruined. He worked his way off the couch without disturbing Lance and started to gather up all the cartons. He was about to throw them away when he noticed a weird oil floating on top of all the food. He dipped his finger into one of them trying to figure out what it was. When he sniffed at it curiously he thought he recognized the smell of roses. Roses? Rose oil? He looked over at Lance for a moment as his mind started to spin.
No one used rose oil in Chinese food, neither of them had recognized the delivery driver, Lance getting sick but Justin not. No matter how he looked at it he kept coming back to someone wanting to kill Lance. If someone had put rose oil in the food it meant someone knew what Lance was. He was in way over his head and could not help from wishing Chris were here to help them both.
Justin set the cartons on the kitchen table incase Lance wanted to check them out later and then headed back into the living room and sinking back onto the couch with Lance. He knew he should stay awake and figure out what to do now, but he was so tired and he felt so horrible all he wanted was to sleep. Lance�s arms quickly pulled him close and they slept together again.
