Joey woke up soon after the two older men settled into the living room to continue their discussion regarding their next move. Clad only in boxer shorts, Joey sleepily curled his body around JC�s and closed his eyes again. JC and Chris smiled at their band mate acting and looking like he was eight years old again.
�How ya feeling man?� Chris asked, ever mindful of the blood Joey had donated to Lance earlier.
�Tired. Thirst too.� Joey mumbled against JC�s t-shirt. He had obviously gotten over any concerns he had regarding sex with men, or he at least didn�t let it deter him from cuddling like normal with his band mates.
�I�ll go get you some juice. Want something to eat as well?� Chris asked quietly, knowing a headache sometimes accompanied the blood loss. Joey just nodded contentedly as JC and Chris shared another smile before Chris headed off on his errand.
Joey was finishing up the sandwich and gulping down his second glass of juice when Justin called them from the bed room. All three of them rushed in to discover Justin holding Lance close, a worried look on his face.
�Chris, he�s getting cold again. Shouldn�t the blood have helped for longer?� Justin asked worried.
Chris only nodded before setting down to look Lance over himself. After a minute Chris looked up to find everyone waiting for his verdict. �I think maybe he just needs to be fed more often for a couple of days. His body is just using up what he�s gotten so far to try to repair the damage.�
�I guess that means I�m on next.� JC said with a slight smile. Both Chris and Justin looked relieved they wouldn�t have to ask for his assistance while Joey looked uncomfortable.
�Is it okay if I go find something heterosexual to do while JC helps Lance?� Joey asked quietly. Fighting to keep back grins at Joey�s continued discomfort, the others nodded and Joey quickly made his exit, making sure they knew to call him if they needed anything besides sex.
Once Joey had left the room, Chris helped Justin out of the bed and the two curled up together on the couch nearby; Chris making sure Justin was comfortable before turning his attention back to the bed. Lance was again unconscious, his body still battling against the poisons attacking it. Trying to keep his concern hidden from the others, Chris told JC to begin.
Worrying at his lower lip, JC sank down onto the bed. He began by slowly trailing his fingers across the skin of Lance�s face, taking a couple of minutes to alter his perception of the younger man from friend to lover. JC knew he had to be completely into the whole experience if he wanted Lance to have the maximum amount of sexual energy to feed with. For JC to be completely into a sexual experience he needed the mental connection as well as the physical. He already loved Lance, but despite the rumors which circulated he had never considered making their relationship about more then friendship and brotherhood. Now he was faced with looking at Lance in a sexual light and although he now knew the image of Lance as a teenager was an illusion, JC couldn�t seem to get the image of a young, naive Lance out of his mind.
�Everything okay C?� Chris asked from the couch, knowing there was a problem but unsure without reading JC�s mind what it was.
�Yeah. Yeah, I just keep picturing him when he first auditioned for the group and it�s hard to have sex with someone I knew when he was so young. And I know it was all an illusion, that he hasn�t been that young man for years, if he ever was. Still, I have the image in my head and it�s all I can think about.� Chris and Justin exchanged glances as JC finished with a loud sigh. They both knew JC was their best hope to help Lance right then, but it looked like JC needed some help as well. Justin sat forward, knowing Chris would be the best person to help JC get past his perceptions of Lance. Besides, in the worst case scenario, Chris could change JC�s memories of Lance and alleviate the problem completely.
�Jayce, man. Believe me when I say I know what you�re talking about. It doesn�t matter what you saw was an illusion, it was real to you, those memories are real. Sometimes our minds refuse to accept the people in front of us have changed, even when we know the memory is no longer true. I need you to know any other time I would spend as much time as you needed discussing the problems inherent with not seeing those in front of us have grown up, but this time I can�t. I can�t allow you time because Lance is lying here and he needs help now. If you can�t get past your memories, I need you to tell me now so I can find someone else. �Cause as much as I don�t want to admit it, Lance isn�t doing well and I can�t lose him. � Chris voice dropped to the merest whisper so only JC could hear. �I can�t lose him even if I can never have him.�
JC glanced up at Chris for a moment before having to look away at the pain alive in the older man�s eyes. After taking a deep breath, JC looked at Chris again. �Tell me what you see when you look at him, what you love about him.�
�I think Justin would be better . . . .� Chris stuttered, unwilling to admit his love out loud.
�No. Justin has already told me what he sees in Lance. I want to know what you love about Lance and don�t tell me you don�t love him because I know you do. Make me see him like you do; show me the Lance I don�t know.� JC said softly, knowing it would help Chris to express his feelings as well as help JC to view Lance in a romantic light.
With closed eyes, Chris began. �The first time I saw him, he walked into my father�s shop and took my breath away. He was a gentleman and I was but a tailor�s son, but he never treated me as less then his equal. Several years passed before I was changed and then another couple before I changed Lance and during that time he allowed me to see the man he was and I can�t say I didn�t want more from him even then.�
�We had traveled around for quite awhile before we first got together sexually. Even then I knew he was looking for what he called his �soul mate� and as much as I wanted to try to be that person, I don�t think I ever felt I was good enough. I�ve always loved him though. All I have to do is look into his eyes and I can see almost everything I�ve ever wanted.� JC�s fingers were softly caressing Lance�s face now as he allowed Chris� love and devotion to flow through him.
�The first time we touched sexually, when it was just the two of us is still one of the best memories I have. The silk of his skin under my hands, his breath mingling with mine are still so vivid to me. He has the ability to focus all his attention on one thing, I know you�ve seen him do it before, and when he is in a sexual situation he puts all his concentration into whoever he is with. Just his natural charm and intensity can make any situation more exciting, but then you add in his sexual pull and I would do anything for him. I know you felt it before, how it pulls you in, makes you feel like your skin is tingling and everything would be okay if you could just be near him, just touch him.� Chris� words were having the desired effect as JC�s touch became much more sensual and he started to see the unconscious man below him with the same eyes as Justin and Chris did.
Chris helped JC get Lance undressed and then went back to the couch to hold Justin as he continued to talk about Lance. It didn�t seem strange at all to reminisce about Lance while holding Justin. In Chris� mind, the two of them were now a pair. Besides, he knew Justin was always eager to hear more about Lance and the time before Justin met him.
�Can you feel how soft his skin is Jayce? You wouldn�t expect a grown man�s skin to feel like that, much less a man who is over six hundred years old. It smells good too. Lance has always smelled like Vanilla to me, even all those years traveling around the world I could always bury my head in his neck and smell vanilla and a musk which was guaranteed to drive me crazy. Now with all the fancy shampoos and body washes he buys, it is slightly more processed, but still vanilla.� JC�s tongue darted out to taste the skin Chris was talking about, whimpering lightly at the taste and smell.
�Feel your body against his, the heat and the contours of the two of you melding into one. It�s such a sensual feeling, his body was made for this I think.� JC moaned as he laid down on the bed, the length of his body touching Lance�s as he continued to stroke and lick and suck on the skin underneath him. The sound of Chris� voice and the words leading him into an area where all that existed was sensation. �Kiss him Jayce. Taste how good his mouth is, feel the softness of his lips; it�s like no other feeling I know. I�ve spent hours just kissing him before and it was so good I could almost come from just that.�
As soon as JC kissed Lance�s lips he was lost to the feelings rolling through him. Chris and Justin watched as JC licked and sucked and nibbled at the lips underneath him and both were happy to see Lance starting to respond to the stimulation. Chris could already feel the sexual energy in the room from the words he had spoken and from what JC had started to feel. He knew he was absorbing some of the energy, but knew with Lance touching JC the majority of the energy would go to him. From the sounds coming from JC�s mouth, there would be a large amount of energy for Lance very soon.
�Jayce . . . ride him . . . .let him make you cum.� This time it was Justin�s voice which broke through the room. �It�s so good when he is inside of you. Even like this his body will know how to make you feel things you�ve never felt before.� JC nodded in acknowledgment of Justin�s words before leaning over to grab the lube and stretch himself out before straddling Lance�s body and sinking down until he was completely impaled on Lance. For a moment he remained completely still, adjusting to the feel of being stretched. Looking down, he saw Lance�s eyes partially open, staring up at him. As soon as their eyes met JC felt the sexual pull washing over him and he was helpless to do anything but move in search of pleasure.
As Justin and Chris watched from the couch, JC rose and fell on Lance�s cock until the rush of orgasm began to wash over him. In the midst of his pleasure, JC felt Lance pull him down and the sting of teeth entering his neck causing an even greater burst of bliss. His orgasm as well as the blood flowing into his mouth forced Lance�s own orgasm. Once the initial wave of pleasure washed through him, Lance withdrew his teeth and licked at the wound to seal it before falling back to the bed.
JC wasn�t sure who it was that helped him move to lie beside Lance and cleaned the two of them off. His only thoughts as he drifted off to sleep were about hoping it had been enough to help Lance. Beside JC, Lance stayed awake long enough to reassure Chris and Justin he was feeling a little bit better and then he too succumbed to sleep, never seeing Joey poke his head in timidly and ask if everything was alright.
* * * * *
The five of them were all curled up together on the bed a couple of hours later. Lance and JC has slept for two hours before Chris woke up JC to eat something to help replenish some of the nutrients he had lost by giving blood to Lance. After he had eaten, JC had returned to the room to find Lance just waking up, which had led to everyone piling into the bed to talk about everything that was happening.
�You feeling any better Jup?� Joey asked his youngest band mate.
�Yeah, a little bit. Still tired and feeling run-down, but at least my whole body isn�t screaming with every move now.� Justin asked from his position curled up to Lance.
�I really am sorry J, I don�t even remember taking the blood from you. I would�ve never taken so much or so violently if I was aware of what was going on.� Lance apologized again.
�Lance, I told you it was okay.� Justin turned his head to look at Lance. �I would have done anything to help you then and I�ll do anything I can to help you now. I know you think I can�t make these decisions logically, but I was feeling like this before I ever knew you were a vampire. All of this has just shown me even more how much I want you.� Justin paused to look at Chris before finishing his thought. �You and Chris both.�
A silence fell over the room as all five of them contemplated what Justin had said. Justin was patiently waiting to see how his words had been taken, Joey was shocked at how much everything was changing around him and JC was silently cheering Justin for saying what Lance and Chris both needed to hear. Meanwhile, Lance and Chris were both in shock for their own reasons. Lance was finally starting to understand Justin was serious about all of this, while Chris was shocked Justin could possibly feel something for him besides friendship and wonderment about his vampire side.
JC cleared his throat to catch everyone�s attention, knowing he needed to change the subject and allow them all a break from thoughts of what Justin�s revelation would mean. �Lance, I was wondering about your time in the Orient. When Chris was explaining about your being vampires he mentioned you spent about thirty years in the area and I was wondering what you did and learned.�
Lance smiled at JC, knowing what JC was doing and grateful for the change in topic. There would be plenty of time to figure out what to do about Justin�s revelations later when he was feeling stronger, for now Lance could answer JC�s question and fill in some gaps Chris had been asking him about for several years. �Chris and I decided to take a break from each other. We had been together for about six hundred years and I think we both wanted to do our own thing to reassure ourselves we could. I knew he was planning on touring the world, seeing things I had never wanted to. As soon as we started to discuss taking a break from each other I knew I wanted to go to the Orient. We had passed through a couple of times and I had always been intrigued by the culture and more precisely the Kama Sutra. At first I thought it would just be about sexual positions and wouldn�t very long to absorb all the knowledge I needed. I was soon to discover the error of my ways and ended up spending thirty years exploring the many sides of Kama Sutra.�
�You keep saying Kama Sutra, I thought it was Karma Sutra?� Joey asked quietly.
�To the majority of the Western World who haven�t really explored the topic it is Karma Sutra. Once I arrived and really started learning, I found Karma Sutra really didn�t exist. In the Orient, the Kama is an entire philosophy. It is entwined and deeply involved in the beliefs of the area and in Tantra.� Lance explained patiently.
�What is the Tantra?� Justin asked.
�It�s a blend of sacred sexuality, the Kama Sutra teachings, modern psychology, and eastern philosophy. Using a variety of tools, supreme among them sexuality, the masters considered the ultimate goal to be the dissolving of the ego and complete union with the divine energy that is within us all.� Lance explained.
�Okay, I don�t think I understood half of what you just said.� Joey said with a grin.
�It�s basically an entire lifestyle. From what you know, to how you act, to what you eat. When you are able to honor, trust, tell the truth, communicate effectively, greatly improve your skills as a lover, and focus your mind and body in the appropriate ways, a whole new world of possibilities opens to you. Greater understanding, deeper compassion, fuller life experiences, empowerment, bliss, ecstasy, and better health are available to you.� Lance finished with a smile.
�How much of what you just said was a quote from someone else?� Chris asked with a grin, knowing a lot of what Lance had just said had to be from someone else.
�Most of it.� Lance grinned at Chris. �It was the basic explanation my guru gave me when I first sought a mentor.�
�How much of what you learned are you still using?� JC asked from where he had burrowed into Joey�s side.
�Well when I�m feeling creative I use some of the positions, but truthfully you must be more bendy then I ever hope to be to accomplish them. You might have a little more luck in that area then me Jayce.� Lance replied with a smile. �Besides that, I think I use a lot of the teachings of respect and control. I also seem to gravitate to the beliefs they have biting or scratching can increase the pleasure of sex.� At that both Chris and Justin made noises of pleased agreement much to the amusement of the others.
�Did I give you a good enough explanation Jayce?� Lance asked with a smile.
�For now, though I don�t promise I won�t ask you for more detail in the future.� JC said with a yawn.
�Anytime Jayce.� Lance answered with a matching yawn.
�With that, I think it�s time we all got some sleep. Is everyone sleeping in here or going to their own rooms?� Chris asked from his spot near Lance. He just smiled and closed his eyes when he heard four voices murmuring �here� sleepily.
* * * * *
JC and Chris both took a turn the next morning helping to feed Lance�s sexual hunger. They were all hoping Lance would be able to get through with just sexual energy because all had given blood by that point. The plan was to make sure the sexual hunger was fed every four or five hours in the hope it would keep him recover without having to go outside the group for sexual or blood feedings.
Joey had agreed to do the first afternoon feeding, but demanded everyone else leave the room. Unlike JC who had needed help seeing Lance in a sexual light, Joey was finding he was having too easy of a time picturing Lance in ways he had never imagined another man before. He made sure to keep this problem to himself, although he was starting to wonder if Chris had read his mind and gotten the information because he kept smirking at Joey at inopportune times. Trying to put all his concerns and thoughts aside, Joey sat on the edge of Lance�s bed.
�I was wondering . . . � Joey began tentatively. �. . .do we actually need to have intercourse for you to feed or can you feed from any sexual pleasure?�
�Joey, anything which produces an orgasm in you I can feed off of. It does help if I�m touching your skin when you come, but it can just be a shoulder or a hand while you are jerking off.� Lance said with a smile which told Joey Lance at least knew all about his problem. That Lance wasn�t making a big deal about it made the whole experience easier, but Joey was still struggling with the new feelings and emotions. �Just try to stop thinking, just feel. It doesn�t matter what arouses you Joe, it�s all good whether you are thinking about men or women. No matter what gets you there, it�s all about the pleasure in the end.�
With a deep breath, Joey nodded and slowly undressed, knowing Lance had seen him nude plenty of times and this way the mess created would be easier to clean it up. He relaxed back against the headboard, closing his eyes and trying to release all the thoughts and worries from his mind. Slowly, after a couple of minutes, Joey is able to forget about everything else and just concentrate on himself and his body. He has always known he didn�t have the perfect body, he would never have JC�s leanness or Justin�s six pack, but he liked his body the way it was.
Joey knew he wouldn�t be able to lay beside Lance and fantasize about a woman, if he tried the images would switch over to Lance with all the contradictory thoughts and emotions from the past couple of days. What he knew he could do, what he knew would get him off was to concentrate on himself and how he felt about himself. It wasn�t often he did this, but once in awhile it was nice to just express the love he had for his body and all of it�s reactions in a physical way, a way that always ended with a powerful orgasm.
Starting by trailing his fingers down his chest, circling his nipples but not spending much time there before trailing down further. Although he was the one controlling the pace, he still felt the anticipation of wanting his hand on his cock immediately. Using that anticipation, he teased himself by trailing his fingers around his navel and across the bones of his hips before just grazing the tip of his hardened penis. He lifted his fingers to his mouth to taste the pre-ejaculation he had smeared across the tips before dropping his hand back down and wrapping it around his erection with a barely audible groan.
The feel of his hand tightening and moving was astounding. He continued to tighten and jerk his cock, getting a little more vigorous with every movement. Over and over he tugged, a litany of love and satisfaction going through his head as he got closer to his release. He was gasping out incoherent words when Lance reached over and lightly touched his shoulder. Instead of disturbing the rhythm and intensity, Lance�s gentle touch seemed to push Joey over the edge and he came with a gasp and an arching of his back as his cum pulsed up to hit both men�s chests and throats.
Joey looked over just in time to see Lance�s body also arching in what appeared to be pleasure. He was surprised to see the spreading wetness at the crotch of the lounge pants he had put on earlier. Joey wasn�t sure if he had turned Lance on that much or if the feeding brought him to orgasm. Either way, the two were left gasping for breath for several minutes before Joey slid out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to grab a wet washcloth to clean up with.
After wiping himself down, Joey returned to the bedroom to help clean Lance up as well. He threw the soiled cloth into the bathroom before returning to the bed with a clean pair of boxer briefs for Lance to slip into. Both men were quickly clothed in their briefs and then cuddled in bed together.
�No matter what comes out of all your thoughts and feelings, I will always love you Joey and so will all the people around you. Your being attracted to me or the others could just be my not being able to control my powers right now or it could be you are opening your eyes to the possibilities around you. Either way, you will be okay. It doesn�t change who you are Joe, it just changes your options regarding sex.� Lance explained as he relaxed into the pillows again, fighting to stay awake for just a couple more minutes to make sure Joey was okay with everything.
�I�m trying to believe all that Lance. My head is just spinning right now. I�m trying to get it all worked out, trying to figure it out. I just need a little more time.� Joey asked as he too relaxed into the bedding.
�You can have all the time you need Joey. It�s a big decision and much better if you make the right choices for yourself. In this circumstance, you need to put your own needs above those of everyone else. Do what�s right for you and let the rest work itself out.� Joey could only nod at the words before he gave in to the call of sleep and Lance quickly followed.
Joey woke up a couple of hours later and quietly left the bed, figuring Lance needed all the sleep he could get. For his part, the nap Joey had taken had dealt with his exhaustion and now he found himself with a lot to consider. His sudden attraction to Lance was disconcerting, but he found himself wondering if it wasn�t just Lance�s powers being out of control. Joey thought if he was truly attracted to other men he would also be attracted to the others as well. His appreciation for Justin�s body or Chris� sense of humor and caring or JC�s hair had nothing to do with attraction, it was simply acknowledging the attributes of a friend. Okay, so even he couldn�t buy that explanation for long.
Joey met up with the others who were discussing what to do next, although they really couldn�t do anything until Lance�s strength came back. After much discussion over the past couple of days, Joey didn�t think there was anything really new to be said, but all of them were just searching for something to do to solve the problem and get on with their lives.
�The new tour is scheduled to start next month and we have the Olympics and the Grammy�s to attend the week before. We�ve got to get all of this figured out by then or we will be putting all the crew in danger as well.� Chris said although it had been mentioned several times before. �I really think our only option is to set up some kind of a trap with me as bait and hope we can catch them.�
�No!� Justin said firmly. �We can�t risk you like that. There much be some other way to figure out who is behind all of this.�
�Justin, it�s the only way.� Chris said patiently.
�No, it�s just the only way you�ve thought of so far. I�m not going to allow you to put yourself in any more danger and I�m sure Lance will back me up on this.� Justin said, his voice saying it was not negotiable. JC sat back and smiled at Justin�s protectiveness of Chris, now if only Chris would recognize and accept where it came from.
�What else do you suggest J? We can�t allow these people to keep coming after us. Lance is still weakened and I�m pretty sure whoever this is realizes you and the others could be used to catch us.� Chris said with worry evident in his voice.
�You think I haven�t thought about the threat to all of us? Do you really believe I�m still so young and self-centered I wouldn�t realize the danger we are all in? Contrary to popular belief I am intelligent enough to think for myself and to recognize the threat which is clearly present.� Justin took a breath and tried to control his frustration and anger. �Chris, if anything happened to you it would kill Lance and me. It would probably destroy Joey and JC. There has to be some way to solve this without putting any of us in more danger.�
The four of them sat lost in their own thoughts for a couple of minutes before Justin jumped up and started to pace the floor. It was obvious he was trying to work something through his mind, the question was whether it would help them or not. �Chris, when you and Lance were telling me about being vampires you said there were a lot of different types. You said you had met quite a few of them, right?� When Chris nodded Justin continued. �Are you still in contact with any of them? Do you think maybe they had heard or seen something which would tell us who it is we are dealing with at least?�
Chris thought about it for a few minutes before he nodded slightly. �There are a couple of them I�m still in contact with and with them being all over the world they might have heard or seen something we haven�t.� Chris got up and started to go through his stuff until he found his electric organizer and started scanning through the names. �Okay, I�ll call them first thing in the morning. Right now I think we need to try to get some sleep.�
�Good idea.� JC said with a smile. �Why don�t you and Justin take one guest room and Joey can take the other. I�ll stay up and watch Lance for a couple of hours and then one of you can relieve me.�
�You sure Jayce?� Joey asked. �I got a nap with Lance so if you need me to I can stay up and let you sleep.�
�No, it�s okay. I�ve got some stuff running through my head anyway. I want to get them out before I lose them so you might as well get some more sleep.� Joey just nodded and followed Chris and Justin up to the waiting beds while JC grabbed a drink before heading up to the room Lance was passed out in.
JC had a couple of pages of random lyrics scribbled in his notebook when he heard the first moans coming from Lance. Looking up, JC noticed Lance appeared more pale then he had an hour earlier. A sheen of sweat was apparent on his skin. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, JC pushed back some hair stuck to Lance�s forehead and was worried to feel the coolness of the skin. It appeared Lance was in desperate need of another feeding and although it was way too soon since the last time he had given blood to Lance, JC knew this feeding needed to include blood as well.
After contemplating waking Chris for a moment, JC decided he would try to help first and then bring in the other vampire if he was needed. Stripping himself and Lance, JC determined this would be easiest if he were to penetrate Lance, negating the need to arouse the again unconscious man before hand. Grabbing the lube from the side table, JC repeated over and over in his head the images and thoughts which he had used the last time and was pleasantly surprised to see it worked without much effort. A couple of minutes later, Lance was prepared and JC was slowly sinking inside of him until they were joined completely.
Setting a slow, steady rhythm and trying to concentrate on just enjoying the experience and not on Lance�s condition, JC allowed his eyes to fall closed and got lost in the fantasy inside his head. He thrust in and pulled out, trying to hit Lance�s prostate every time. Once the pressure in his own cock got to be too much, JC reached down with one hand to pump Lance while increasing the speed and depth of his thrusts. Just as he was about to cum, JC leaned down and whispered in Lance�s ear to feed. Still partially unconscious, Lance�s body took over and pulled JC the rest of the way down and then bit into his neck. The blood pumped into Lance�s mouth just as JC�s cock burst inside of Lance�s ass. The simultaneous feedings pushed Lance over the edge and he came hard between their bodies.
Luckily, Lance was aware enough of his surroundings and made sure to withdraw his fangs from JC �s neck. Although weak from giving blood twice in the past several days, JC looked up to check on Lance�s condition. There was a little more color in Lance�s face and the skin underneath JC didn�t feel cool any longer, the question was how long the effects would last this time. JC realized they needed more donors then they currently had and possibly for Lance to take them one after another until both hungers were completely quenched.
* * * * *
�How much blood do you take from each victim normally?� JC asked Chris the next morning once all of them besides Lance were awake. Joey had relieved JC a few hours after Lance fed. JC hadn�t told the other man about the additional feeding, figuring he would talk to everyone the next morning about his idea.
�Around a pint. It seems to be enough to quench the blood hunger and yet leave our victims feeling little to no effects.� Chris replied, hoping JC had an actual plan and not just a curiosity.
�And how many pints total do you think your vampire bodies hold?� JC questioned .
�About the same as any human, six to eight pints. What are you thinking?� Chris asked.
�Last night Lance woke up again. He was cool and clammy and in obvious need of a feeding again. I took care of it,� JC explained, trying to answer any of Chris� questions before they were asked, � I was just wondering if maybe he needs to completely replace his current blood with new.�
�Replace his current blood how?� Justin asked confused. �And how would replacing his blood help?�
�You expecting us to knock over a blood bank Jayce?� Joey asked with a grin.
�Actually, I was thinking maybe he needed to replace all his blood and max out his sexual feedings as well.� JC said patiently, wanting to express his idea before Lance woke up. �Keeping those two things in mind, what if we were to get approximately eight men or women to fulfill the need for his blood to be completely replaced. At the same time, if we could feed his sexual hunger, maybe the influx would covert him back to a healthy vampire�
Chris sat down and contemplated what would be required to get that many victims at once. �They would all have to be put into trances. I could do eight people at once, but someone else would have to assist Lance with his feeding.�
�I could help him with the blood feedings. I�ve seen it done several times now and had it done to me.� Justin offered as everyone knew he would.
�What about the sexual feedings?� Joey asked. �If he has to bring eight people to orgasm, it�s going to negate any progress we make.�
�What if we split it between us? Or is there any way we could work it so the people would have sex with each other but Lance could still feed off of it?� JC asked. �Would he be able to feed off sexual energies he wasn�t apart of creating?�
Chris nodded. �Lance can feed off any energies in the room so it wouldn�t be a problem if they have sex with each other. He doesn�t have to drink the blood during sex, it�s just easier to do a dual feeding if you multi-task.� Chris gave a slight smile. �If we got eight people and I put them into a trance and suggested they have sex with each other then one-by-one suggest they go over to Lance to have him feed, it should work. Justin could help Lance to maneuver people to make feeding easier. Joey and JC, you could make sure everyone stays involved and help out if you want.� Chris grinned at the two men who grinned back. �The only thing I can think may make the whole thing work better is if we drained the majority of Lance�s blood before we did all of this; try to get the poison out of him completely.�
�Can we drain him of blood without hurting him more?� Justin asked worried.
�He can take losing the majority of his blood if it is replenished fairly quickly. He won�t have any strength until it�s replenished which is why you would need to help him, but it may make the new blood work better.� Chris explained.
�How would we drain it? If you drank it, wouldn�t it just transfer the poison to you?� Joey asked.
�The rose oil in his blood would be a problem if I drank it, but we can cut his wrist or a major artery and then I can seal the wound when he if fairly well drained.� Chris explained. The more he contemplated the idea, the more sure he was it would work.
�So we could put him in the bathtub or something to drain it out?� JC asked.
�I don�t think I could handle watching his blood drain out.� Justin said hesitantly.
�You can be in the other room if you need to J.� Chris said understandingly. �We�ll have to get the donors and have me put them in the trance and then drain Lance�s blood so everything is ready so he won�t be weakened for long, but I think it will work.�
�With Lance feeding so often, we should probably do this soon.� Joey suggested, fidgeting a little as he wondered if he should�ve kept quiet and not reminded everyone how bad Lance was doing.
Chris nodded. �I think we need to do it today if possible. There is no way Justin or JC can give anymore blood and if I donate blood I�m going to have to go feed, so we might as well do this right away.� The others nodded in agreement as Chris vocalized his thoughts. �If Justin stays here with Lance, the three of us could go into town and find some people. Once they are nearby, I should have no problem putting them under and then they can follow us back here. Drain Lance and then set everyone into motion. With any luck, by tomorrow morning Lance will be back to normal and there will just be eight people thinking they had a pretty wild night partying.�
�We�ll need to make sure we have enough condoms and stuff.� JC said. �These people are doing us a favor, we certainly don�t want to pay them back by allowing anyone to get pregnant or get a STD.�
�Good point. I hadn�t even thought about protection.� Chris said with a wry grin. �Should we tell Lance what we�re planning and then get going?� When the others nodded, Chris headed towards the bedroom.
Lance sat thinking for a couple of minutes after the plan was explained. Chris took the time to examine the other man, trying not to cringe at the paleness of his skin or it�s chill as he brushed Lance�s arm. JC�s idea had to work because Chris knew of no other way to solve the problem. Chris could feel a slight pull coming from Lance and knew the other man was too weak to keep up his shields completely. The pull could benefit all of them during the plan, but it�s appearance was disturbing because Lance had never lost control of his shields since he learned them.
�I think it could work.� Lance�s voice broke into Chris� worried contemplations. �At this point, I don�t think it could do anything but help. Getting most of the tainted blood out can do nothing but help at this point. I feel like I can feel it burning me inside, draining it out hopefully will take care of the burning. We�ll have to be careful how it is drained though, otherwise it could burn my skin or Chris�.� Lance said thoughtfully.
�You didn�t tell me you could feel it burning inside still.� Chris said worried. �We�ll have to make sure it doesn�t make contact with our skin then. It can�t hurt Joey or JC though which is good.�
�What if we had him sit on the floor and draped his arms over the tub so it dripped inside?� Joey asked, trying to fight against the image of blood pouring out of Lance.
�It should work. Good idea Joey. Actually, everyone seems to be coming up with good ideas today, thanks guys.� Lance said with a thankful smile.
�We just want to help man, anything we can do.� JC said with a comforting smile.
�Well I appreciate it, a lot.� Lance ducked his head for a minute before looking up and saying quietly. �I really love you guys, I�ve always depended on myself or Chris; it�s nice to know I have three other people I can depend on as well.� It took only a moment before everyone was on the bed hugging each other and letting Lance know the feeling was mutual.
An hour later, Chris, JC and Joey were on their way to the nearest tourist town. It would be about an hour round trip and they were figuring about an hour to round up eight people Chris felt would be suitable. He didn�t want anyone who would be too much of a problem to put into a trance since he would be doing eight people at once. He was also scanning all the people they considered for thoughts of hatred or negativity, none of them needed to deal with some psycho making the whole experience even more difficult.
While the others were out looking for people, Lance and Justin were both sleeping. Although Justin was feeling better all the time, he was still getting tired easily. Lance was still having problems staying awake more then an hour or two and he knew their plan would require about that much time to implement and he would be almost completely drained of blood for part of it. Of course, if this all worked out he would be coming out of it with his normal energy.
Almost three hours after they had left, Joey, JC and Chris arrived back at the beach house with four men and four women in tow. Chris had put each of them in a trance as he found them while Joey and JC had kept them all together until Chris was finished. Chris had explained he could pick a couple of the people to be designated drivers and they would be able to drive everyone back when they were finished. The trance would hold for several hours after Chris sent them back after Lance was fed and would allow them the knowledge and driving skills needed to get back. Once the trance wore off however, they would have no knowledge of where they had been or what had happened while they were out of it.
�I�ll put your donors in the bedroom if you want to get Lance ready.� Joey said with a smirk. He�d been bugging Chris about being a blood and sex depository for a couple of hours. Chris just smiled, happy Joey was so accepting now he was adjusted to the idea of Chris and Lance being vampires.
