Rock of Ages, Forever Pt67
The night of the Ball approached quickly, there were perhaps a hundred people rushing around setting things up. Decorating the Ball Room, the entire house and grounds. Large and small flower arrangements of yellow roses, with white Daises graced all tables throughout the ballroom. The chandlers were cleaned and hung low from the ceiling. The bar was set up with every kind of   Champaign   and wine that was available, with a special stock from the wine cellar for the certain guest that will be attending. The serving table that was to hold the variety of food dishes stretched almost the entire length of one wall. Hot plates of silver that would hold the variety of heated dishes were spread along the table. Fruits of every kind and at the end, was the dessert table. The center piece was made of an ice sculpture in the shape of children playing.
Nick sent back and entire tray of C color:#000080">hampaign color:#000080"> glass because of spots, he found a flower arrangement with a wilted rose and sent it back. He spoke briefly with Arthur about the grounds. And shortly before the guest were   scheduled to arriving, he spoke to the waiters and waitresses.
color:#000080"> Checking the music selection one more time, he disappeared upstairs to dress. He showered and dressed in his usual black of the finest silk shirt and matching black jacket. He tossed his tie aside and left the first three buttons undone. Walking down the hall, he went by Sav’s door and backed up. Going into his room, Nick looked at him as he lay on the bed staring up at the ceiling.
color:#000080"> “You should dress, the guest will be arriving soon. I want you by my side to greet them as they arrive.” Nick said softly.
color:#000080"> Sav jumped from the bed to approach him. Smiling at him, he placed his hand on Nick’s chest and pushed him out of his room. His smile dropped as he slammed the door in Nick’s face.
color:#000080"> Nick almost busted the door down and demanded respect form him, but quickly changed his mind and went downstairs. Walking around the house to be sure that every one was in their places. He went over and greeted the first people to arrive. His temper flared a short time later as Sav joined him at the door. He glanced at him.
color:#000080"> “Where have you been?” Nick asked sharply.
color:#000080"> “Getting dressed, like you told me.” Sav replied with a smile.
color:#000080"> Nick took in his state of dress. Sav wore his old faded and torn jeans, unbuttoned at the top, black silk shirt that was unbuttoned for the most part, several necklaces and the black leather fingerless glove. He looked every part the rock star.
color:#000080"> “I told you this is a formal affair and to dress appropriately.”
color:#000080"> “There is nothing wrong with what I’m wearing. It’s who I am and besides, saves me the trouble of changing later, for our forced playing. I hate tuxedos, they're uncomfortable. Where is your tux?”
Nick was about to say something else when a couple of people entered, he introduced them to Sav and they went on their way to enjoy the party.
Joe and the others filed in and made some comment about the way Sav was dressed. They all had a good laugh because everyone of them were dressed to be comfortable. Phil whistled under his breath as he took in the place and the people.
“I think we’re underdressed ladies.” Phil said.
“No we’re not.” Vivian laughed. “They're over dressed.”
Laughing at his comment, Joe grabbed a glass of wine as the waiter passed by. “Ok, let’s mingle.”
Sav watched them from the door as they walked around the room having a good time from what he could see.
“Nicholas.” A woman's voice softly called.
Nick scooped her up to embrace her. “Fleur, I’m so happy that you came.” he smiled, then put her down.
“I wouldn’t miss it for the world, my dear brother. Once I learned you would be here, after your two year absences, I couldn't stay away.” She hugged him again. “It’s been so long.”
“Yes it has, too long I might add.” Kissing her cheek. “Come I want you to meet some one.” Nick pulled her over to where Sav was standing. “Rick, this is my sister Fleur.”
Her breath caught in her throat at the handsome man before her. “I’ve heard many things about you. But Nick…” she turned to him. “You never told me how handsome he is.”
“That’s because dear sister. I don’t want to share him.”
Sav shot him heated glare. He was already feeling uncomfortable the longer he stood there, greeting all the guest as they arrived. His irritation grew with every passing minute, with the game that Nick had placed on him that night and he let it show. “Yeah right.”
“You must dance with me later.” Fleur asked him with a sugary smile.
“I don’t dance.” Sav replied sweetly, mimicking Fleur's, but his was more sarcastic sweet.
“Of course you do.” Nick exclaimed.
“Shut up Nick.”
Fleur easily picked up on Sav's changing mood, then she glanced at Nick. “You remind me of some one else I know.”
“I certainly hope not. I’m nothing like your dear brother.” Sav sarcastically replied.
“Mind your tongue around the ladies, Rick.” Nick said sternly.
“Oh yeah, that’s right. You’ll just beat me for it later. Just like…when was it…three, four day ago…oh it doesn’t matter they seem to all run together anyway.” Sav waved off his ramblings, then turned back to Fleur. “He stalked right into the studio like the king himself and had his way with me, forcefully. His way of getting back at me for supposedly letting someone see me take a woman's life for a bloodlust that he created.” His last few words were directed straight to Nick’s face.
“Enough of this.” Nick growled.
“Why, the truth hurts doesn’t it?” Sav glared at him.
“Are you always like this?” Fleur asked.
“No, must be the company I keep.” Sav could feel the heated anger boiling off Nick at his words.
“Nicholas this is grand, just grand.” Marcus shouted.
Sav visibly stiffened when he saw Marcus enter the room and clasped Nick’s   hand in a hearty shake. The different change in him, didn’t go unnoticed by Fleur.
“Fleur, I had no idea you would be here.” Marcus said kissing both her cheeks.
“Hello Marcus.” She returned his smile.
Marcus caught sight of Sav. “Ah, young Rick, it is a pleasure to see you again.” he held out his hand in greeting, waiting for Sav to take it.
Sav looked at it and then back at him with veiled eyes.
“I see you still need some teaching in greeting your elders.” Marcus said.
Sav was suddenly very uncomfortably as Marcus raked his body with his eyes.
“This is boring.” he said, abruptly turning to walk away from them.
“Please forgive his behavior, he hasn’t been felling well lately.” Nick told them.
“Indeed,” Marcus popped his brow at him. “You must bring him by the house again Nick. We   had such fun the last time.” Marcus ambled into the room to see the other friends he hadn’t seen since the last Foundation Ball.
“Nicholas, you didn’t?” Fleur scolded him.
“We’ll talk about it later Fleur. I have other guest to greet.”
“And we will and don’t try to duck away from it.”
She left him and went over to where Sav was leaning against the wall sipping his drink.
Sav watched her approach him.
“I’m sorry for my brother’s behavior.” She said.
“Why should you be?” Sav told her. “Would you like a drink?”
“Yes, thank you. What ever you're having.”
Sav went over to the bar and returned with two more drinks. She took hers, sipped it and coughed a little. “This is a bit strong.”
“It’s the way I drink it and plan on drinking more as the night goes on.”
Fleur sat her glass down. “So tell me how long have you know Nicholas?”
“Too long.” Sav replied. “And you?”
“He’s my brother.”
“That I gathered.”
“Since before he became what he is. He’s my mortal brother, we have the same parents. He brought me across when he returned from the Crusades.”
“He never told me he had a sister.” Sav informed her.
“He’s a good man Rick.”
“So I’ve been told. From your point of view he is. From mine, he’s brutally honest when it comes to the bedroom. Will stop at nothing to keep me by his side, manipulative, possessive, obsessed, threatening, overbearing sonofabitch.” Sav finished with a smirking smile.
“Such a colorful description.”
“The list goes on, shall I continue?” he asked her.
“No, that was enough thank you.” She replied. “Tell me about yourself?”
“There’s not much to tell.”
“There must be, you have lead an exciting life.”
“Not as exciting as yours I’m sure.” Sav commented.
“Wasn’t all that exciting, I found most of it to be boring.” She smiled at him. “All though the time of the Renaissance wasn’t so bad, all these uppity people walking around with their white powder hair.”
“And you didn’t?” Sav asked.
“Oh no, it got on every thing, not just the hair.”
“Your hair is to beautiful to cover up with that stuff.” Sav told her.
Fleur glanced at him and was struck by his intensely blue eyes. He looked away from her first.
“Excuse me.” Sav said and went past her, back over to the bar. She watched him exchange words with the bartender and took the whole bottle from him. Sav returned to where he had been standing, Fleur glanced at him. “I plan on getting very drunk.”
“I understand that you are playing this evening?” Fleur asked.
“We’re the entertainment, according to Nick.”
“Do you play well?”
“The fans seem to think so. They buy the records and tickets for the concerts, so I guess you would have to ask one of them.”
“I’ve never heard you play or even heard of you for that matter. I’m more into classical, opera, that sort.”
“Then you’ll have a rare treat tonight, you may not like it, it’s far from classical.”
“That remains to be seen.” She smiled at him. Fleur could see where Nick would be drawn to him. He was quick and witty, if not humorous. She liked him already.
“Sav, why is it that there could be a room full of men and the women just gravitate toward you.” Joe said as he came over to them.
“I don’t know. Must be that sex appeal, it brought you over here didn’t it.”
Joe laughed at the private joke.
“Fleur this is Joe, a very close friend.”
“My pleasure to meet you.” Joe said, taking her hand, lightly brushing the back with his lips.
“The pleasure is all mine.” Fleur said. He to was very handsome, taller than Rick by at least a couple of inches. His blonde hair flowed straight to his shoulders with just enough curl to give it life. Sea green, almond shaped eyes that displayed a humorous side and passion for life. She could feel a powerful connection between them, and something else she couldn’t quite figure out.
“Have you known each other long?” Fleur asked.
“About nineteen years.” Sav supplied.
“You’re similar dressed. I take it you will also be entertaining tonight?”
“Yes, along with Sav and three others.”
“That’s twice you've said Sav. Who is that?” Fleur asked, glancing back and forth between them.
“It’s short for Savage. Our drummer’s name is Rick, so to keep down the confusion, everyone calls me Sav.”
They talked and laughed for some time. Fleur was immediately taken by Joe’s charm and good looks.
Nick strolled over and interrupted them. “Excuse me Fleur, Mr. Elliott. Rick, may I have a word with you.”
“Not now.” Sav smiled.
“Yes now.” Nick said with a little more firmness in his voice.
“We’re all family here Nick, so what ever it is, just say it.”
“Do not create a scene in front of my guest.” Nick said sharply.
“You’re the one that came over here and bothered me.”
“Nicholas now do…” Fleur started.
Sav started laughing. “Nicholas.”
Joe smirked at his laughter.
“Why do you find that funny Rick?” Fleur asked.
”I’ve never heard anyone else call him that. Well other than Marcus and you.”
“Enough!” Nick growled.
“Oooohh thy master has spoken.” Sav chuckling.
“Fleur, perhaps you would like another drink?” Joe asked and took her arm, steering her away from them.
“I demand respect from you tonight.” Nick said angrily.
“Oh come on Nick. I’m just having a little fun.”
“Have your fun another night, but not here.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t embarrasses you in front of your friends.”
“I wanted you by my side at the door.”
“Why, so you can show me off?” Sav commented.
“That was not my intention.” Nick stated.
“That’s funny, because that’s the way it felt to me.” Sav replied. “Why did you invite Marcus?”
“He is one of the Foundations largest contributors….”
“In what…torture?”
Nick stood straighter and glared at him. “We’ll talk about this later.”
“There’s nothing to talk about, you don’t know how to talk. It always turns to punishment for something or other. Or are you going to let Marcus do it tonight?”
Nick’s temper was getting shorter with each word. “That can be arranged if you like.”
“Really, and here I thought you didn’t want to share me with anyone.” He replied in the same tone as Nick’s.
“Do not use that tone of voice with me.”
“I sound like you.” Sav replied holding his glare with one of his own. “Go away Nick, you’re ruining my evening.”
“You will pay for your defiance later.” Nick said dryly.
Sav stepped closer to him and gripped his chin. “I look forward to it.” And kissed him full on the mouth. He stepped back and smiled at him. Brushing past him, Sav went over to the bar and replaced his empty bottle. Turning around, he caught Nick’s stare and held his glass up to him in a mock toast. Sav caught a glimpse of Phil and Vivian in the corner laughing about something. Looking around for Joe, he spotted him on the dance floor with Fleur, his mouth literally fell open, because dancing is not one of Joe’s strong points, and an idea struck him. Taking a long drink of his blood wine, he told the bartender to keep it warm, that he would be back. The party was in full swing as everyone danced around or sat at the tables eating or talking. Nick continued to make his way around the room and would occasionally glance in his direction. Going over to where Phil and Vivian were they too were watching Joe.
“Hey guys, having fun?” Sav asked.
“We were.” Vivian replied. “Watching you and Nick a while ago was good. Both of you are so cock sure Sav it’s funny. Then you planted one on him, the look on his face, shame no one had a camera.”
Phil giggled more, “I think a few people saw you.”
“Really, should knock the wind out of his sails for awhile. Anyway, he was pissed because I wouldn’t stay by the door with him and greet the guest when they came in. I don’t like being on display.”
“Display?” Vivian drew his brows together on question.
“Yeah, he was showing me off. Hey look what I have, isn’t he gorgeous.” Sav said in a mock voice of Nick.
Phil laughed. “He said that?”
“No, but he was thinking it.”
“Well you are Sav.” Phil told him.
They all laughed at that one.
“Who else finds this party boring and stuffy?” Sav asked them changing the subject.
“I do.” Vivian replied.
“Anybody game to shake it up?”
“You’ve been drinking to much.” Phil replied and elbowed him in the side.
“Yeah well, so have you.”
“What do you have in mind?” Vivian asked.
“See Joe over there?” Sav indicated with his head. “Lets go join them.”
“Who’s the beauty?” Vivian asked.
“Fleur, and she’s a vampire.” Sav told them.
“At least they are playing top forty.” Phil put in. “But lets wait for a good one.” They waited and talked until a good danceable song played.
“This ones good.” Sav said.
“Yeah good beat, lets go.” Vivian said.
“Oh and Sav don’t get to carried away with Joe. We know how much you want him.” Phil said and pinched his butt. “Again.”
“You don’t know the half of it Phil.” Sav replied and followed them.
Rick saw them making a be line through the crowd and saw their target. His voice trailed off as he was talking to someone and watched them.
Sav came up and watched Joe a moment to get into his step. Once he was moving the same he moved closer to grab his hips.
Joe jumped and spun around. Seeing the sultry look in Sav’s eyes caught him off guard. “What are you doing?”
“Trying to lighten this boring party. May we join in Fleur?”
Fleur looked at Phil and Vivian to see the mischief in their eyes. “Of course.”
The five of them moved together with the music, laughing and having fun. They danced close together with Fleur in the middle. She would face one and then turn to move with another. She couldn’t remember having such a good time in many centuries. Some of the guest had stopped to watch them, not sure what to make of the scene on the dance floor. Most of them knew Fleur, some knew about the band and their close friendship, but in all the years of the Foundation Ball had any of them seen something like this. The music slowed to a more contemporary song, Phil and Vivian thanked Fleur for the wonderful dance and moved away. She stepped in with Joe to sway with the music with him. A few seconds later, Sav came up behind her and got in step, moving close, he pushed her closer to Joe, she inhaled deeply at the feel of both of them.
“Relax Fleur.” Sav whispered.
Their bodies moved as one across the floor, the movements slow and flowing almost sexual in nature. Fleur closed her eyes and went with it. She heard Joe’s heart beating wildly in his chest and Sav’s beat more than it usually does. It was very erotic for the three of them. Joe locked eyes with Sav’s to see the gold flake in them and remembered what it was like to kiss him. He wanted so much to reach up and touch his lips, but held himself back. Several people stopped to watch them. Rick pretended he didn’t know them. Nick stood off to the side with Marcus, who could feel how furious he was at the scene in front of them.
“Nicholas, you must bring him by again. I find his display out there very arousing.”
Nick turned to him. “Perhaps I will.”
Sav pressed closer and slid his hand down Fleur’s side and almost jerked them away when he touched Joe’s. Sav’s desire for him came charging back from where he buried it. He boldly placed his hand over Joe’s and moving Fluer’s hips to the music. Leaning his head down, Sav lightly brushed her neck with his tongue.
“The smell of your blood is very enticing.” Sav whispered in her ear.
Fleur turned her head slightly into his lips and a shiver went up her spine. He meet Joe’s eyes and was surprised to see that he too was aroused from the close contact.
The music stopped and went into something faster. Stepping back, Sav looked down at Fleur. “Thank you for the dance Fleur.” he told her and kissed her cheek.
“The pleasure was all mine.” She said, her cheeks were a little flushed.
“Joe, I’ll see you in a little while for our set.”
Not trusting his own voice he only nodded. Sav smiled at him, turning to   leave, he ran right into Nick.
“Would you like to dance Nick?” Sav asked.
“No,” Nick said quickly. “A word with you in private…now.”
Sav gestured for him to lead the way. Turning, Nick lead the way to the door off the Ball Room and looked around. A couple sat on the benches and he bid them a good evening and went further down the patio. When he was sure that they were out of sight, he spun around and backhanded Sav.
“I will not tolerate that kind of behavior here tonight.” Nick growled.
“The party is boring.” Sav began and wiped the blood from his lip. “Thought that we would spice it up a little, and it seemed to have work. Now every one has some thing to talk about.”
“This is not the place to start an orgy.” Nick shot back.
“Um…now there’s an idea.” Sav said thoughtfully.
Nick’s hand came up to hit him again, but Sav caught it and shoved him back until he hit the wall. “What is it like to taste your sister Nicholas,” Sav growled. “Her blood smells much sweeter than yours.”
Nick was startled by his actions.
“I need some release after dancing like that with her.” Sav told him, then moved his shirt aside and quickly came forward to sink his fangs into Nick’s vein to drink deeply.
Nick didn’t stop him, he liked it when Sav was demanding like this and it didn’t happen very often. He moaned with pleasure as he felt his fangs go deeper and Sav’s body pressed against him. Having his fill, Sav withdrew his fangs and moved away from him, he saw that Nick's eyes were gold flaked as well. Taking a deep breath to get himself under control, he motioned for Nick to lead the way to return to the party before they were missed. Going back in, Nick went to the bar and quickly drank down several glasses of blood wine. Fleur touched his arm to get his attention.
“Why Nicholas I believe you are blushing.” She teased.
“Don’t be absurd.” Nick replied.
“I’m not. I haven’t seen you like this in many years.”
“That’s because I haven’t felt like this in many years Fleur.”
“I suspect it is due to one certain young man.” She said and turned to where Sav was playing around with his bass.
He quickly looked at her. “Yes.”
“He’s certainly made an impression on you. I like him, but…”
Nick waited for her to continue. “But what?”
“There is a togetherness….strong pull…intensity between him and Joe that I’ve never felt before. It was there when we were dancing and I must say…” she fanned herself with her hand. “It almost melted me.”
“Yes, I know.” Nick answered softly.
“You do?” She said somewhat surprised.
“It’s been there for a very long time, even before Rick was brought across. It has only grown stronger with each passing day.”
”I also had the feeling that Rick has taken Joe’s blood.”
“Many times. Mr. Elliott refuses to come across,” Nick told her. “He has chosen to do it the hard way.”
“What do you mean?”
“He will change, just not in the traditional way.”
Fleur looked at him a moment. “Oh dear, not many have survived doing it that way. The changes in them are always to much for them to handle.”
“I have told him that already.”
“Why don’t you bring him across?” Fleur asked.
“No, I cannot.” Nick said softly. “Rick wants to do it.”
“But he has already started it. Since when did that stop you from anything Nicholas?”
“If I did it finish it. It would only drive Rick further away from me.”
“Then perhaps some one else could do it.”
“I’ve thought about that, but if he found out I was behind it. The results would be the same, as if I had done it myself.”
“Then you should let him leave.”
Nick quickly looked at her. “No, I cannot do that.”
Fleur study him a moment. “You love him that much, don’t you.”
Nick traced the rim of his glass. “Yes.”
“It’s not hard to see why Nicholas. It would be very easy to fall in love with him. He has a strong will to experience life all around him and he has awakened something in you that has been buried for a very long time.” She touched his arm and he looked at her. “Don’t destroy that part of him. to mold him into what you think he should be. Let him be himself, like he is tonight.”
“The only time he is like this, is when he has had to much to drink. All the other times, he shuts me out or defies me at every turn.”
“He wants to live life to the fullest, because that is how he was before. He didn’t have forever like you, he is set in his ways as you are. Don’t try to change him any more than you already have.”
“You have learned a lot in the short time you have been here.” Nick said.
“Yes I have.” She replied. “And I see he can be a very passionate lover.”
Nick blushed again and chuckled. He pulled her into his arms and held her tight. “I have missed you Fleur.”
“And I you, dear brother.”
“Well evening everyone.” Joe started. “Is everybody having a good time?”
Cheers and clapping greeted him.
“First off I’d like to thank your host...uh, he's name escapes me.. for telling us to play tonight. We haven’t been on stage together for several years, except when we were practicing last week and that didn't go very well. I hope we sound better for you tonight than it did then. Some of you may know this first song.”
Joe glanced back at Rick and he indicated he was ready. Counting off the notes they went into one of their slower rock ballads. A lot more knew the song than they realized and went into one of the faster songs after that. After a few more tunes, Joe introduced everyone for those who didn’t know who they were. They went on to play several more   as the crowd got into the music. Some of the younger guest danced and sang along, the older ones stood back and tapped their feet.
Fleur turned to Nick, “They are really good Nick.”
“This isn’t how they usually play. When on tour, it’s much louder, almost to the point were you can’t talk during the show.”
“I must go see them for one of those shows.” Fleur commented.
They did a couple of songs from the new album and ended the set with a slow number. Many of the guest wanted more and Joe told them that they would play again later.
Sav went over to the bar and drank down several glass of blood wine, when Nick joined him.
“You sounded good up there.” Nick said softly.
“We still need to practice before the tour.” Sav said and downed another glass.
“Don’t you think you've had enough to drink?” Nick asked.
“No, I fully intend on getting drunk tonight.” Sav told him. “Care to join me.”
“The host doesn’t get drunk, it doesn’t look professional.”
“Too bad. I always found that it was much more pleasing and arousing in the bedroom.” Sav said briefly looking at him.
Nick’s felt his pulse quicken from the look in his eyes.
Sav had turned away from him and was staring off into the crowd. Nick   followed his line of sight to found Joe and Fleur close together talking.
“You want her, don’t you?” Nick asked.
“No.”
“The way you were dancing earlier and the way you are looking at her now, gives me that impression.”
“I wasn’t looking at her.” Sav took another long drink. “And you have the wrong impression.”
Nick got his meaning and looked down at his own glass. He felt Sav move away from him, off into the crowd of people. The party went on for hours, because of the late hour, many of the mortal guests had already left, having thanked Nick for such a wonderful party. Sav stood off in the corner watching, him when Marcus stepped in his line of vision.
Sav refocused his eyes and glared at him.
“I have been wanting to speak with you all evening Rick.” Marcus said.
Sipping his wine, Sav only looked at him.
“I must say, your behavior from earlier was rather pleasing.”
Sav finally looked away from him.
“Perhaps we could go out on the patio and have our own little dance.”
“Not on your life.” Sav growled lowly.
“Don’t be that way, Rick. I can be soft and gentle if I want to be.” Marcus boldly reached his hand up, using his fingers, her softly trailed them down Sav's chest.
Sav angrily knocked his hand away, “You have already shown me how soft and gentle you can be.”
Resisting the urge to wrap his fingers around his neck, Marcus reined in his need to teach Rick another lesson. “It did get a little out of hand that night. You shouldn’t hold that against us.”
“Out of hand.” Sav shot back.
“Come now, you must have enjoyed some of it.” Marcus said smugly.
“If you call being beaten, raped and tortured, enjoyable, then you are more twisted then I thought.” Sav reminded him.
“Such harsh words when that is not what we did.”
“It’s not!” Sav's voice rose in anger. “Then tell me Marcus, what would you call it?”
“Fun.”
“Fun?” Sav said chuckling. “Want to see what my idea of fun is Marcus?”
“I would be delighted.” Marcus smiled happily.
Sav came closer to him and grabbed his jacket, coming within inches of his face, he spoke softly. “No regrets in the morning right.”
“No.” Marcus replied glancing at his lips.
Sav smiled smugly. “Good.” With all his strength Sav spun him around and pinned to the wall, his eyes glowing soft amber. Marcus was caught completely off    guard by his actions. “I’m not in chains now Marcus, and I’ve waited a long time for this.”
“Unhand me now.” Marcus spit out.
Sav moved closer and put his hand around Marcus’s neck. “Isn’t this fun Marcus? I’ll take you right here in front of everyone and show them what a passionate lover I can be. Would you like that?”
“May I remind you whom you’re talking too.” Marcus said quickly.
“No. I don’t need any reminders in that area. How can I forget it, when I live it every day.” Sav told him. “Lets go to your place so I can chain you up.”
Marcus only stared at him.
“You're trembling Marcus. Are you afraid of me?”
“I’m afraid of nothing.”
“You should be.” Sav squeezed tighter around his throat.
Marcus was afraid of him, but he tried not to show it until Sav started choking him, he began to struggle.
“Make it easy on yourself, go quietly.” Sav growled.
“Let me go!” Marcus yelled.
Sav cut his scream off as his grip tightened. He felt his windpipe crack slightly.
Grabbing Sav’s hand, Joe tried to pull him off, he was a immovable rock. Pulling harder, Joe told him to let go. When he still didn’t respond, Joe put his arm around his neck and pulled that way. “Come on Sav, that’s enough!” Joe yelled.
Finally letting Marcus go, he stumbled back with Joe. Who kept his arm around his chest.
Marcus rubbed his sore throat, trying to catch his breath, “Perhaps I under estimated you Rick. Those chains will be needed next time.”
Joe felt him stiffen at his remark.
Straightening his shirt and jacket Marcus glared at him. “You should bring Mr. Elliott next time, so he could watch or perhaps, we could do the same with him.”
Sav flew at him in a rage, splintering the wall behind him when Marcus slammed into it. “Touch him and I will kill you where you stand.” He growled in his face.
“Is that a threat?” Marcus asked.
“No, it’s a promise.” Sav spit back.
“Enough Sav, come on, he’s not worth it.” Joe said and dragged him away again.
Joe caught a glimpse of his fangs and clamped his hand over his mouth, so the few mortals that were still there, couldn't see them.   “Keep your head down.” He told him as he made his way to the patio. He flinched when he felt Sav sink his fangs into his palm. He continued on toward the patio, he had no more problems dragging him now while he was sucking his blood.
Nick slowly ambled over to Marcus as he watched the two men disappear through the door. “That was quite foolish Marcus.” Nick said as he glanced around the room. Most of the guest had heard the commotion and turned in their direction to watch. They were whispering amongst themselves now about the incident.
“I was asking him to join me for our own little party.” Marcus told Nick.
“No, that’s not what I meant. You threatened Mr. Elliott’s life.”
“The bond between them is that strong.”
“More so than his with mine. How many people over your many years have you seen do what Mr. Elliott did with Rick and live to tell about it?”
Marcus thought about it. “None.”
“Exactly. Rick brought him to the edge of death and the bond between them grew stronger after that. And he doesn’t take threats against Mr. Elliott’s life lightly, remember that for future reference.” Nick said and moved away from him.
Joe couldn’t deny the heady since of arousal as Sav pulled the blood softly from him. He closed his eyes when he pulled back and licked the twin holes until they stopped bleeding, then glanced up at Joe. His breath was short, his eyes closed, Sav watched him as his tongue came out and wet his lips. Reaching up, Sav caressed his face lightly and covered Joe’s mouth with his. Giving into him he opened his mouth and Sav dove his tongue in to kiss him with an urgency that Joe couldn’t recall feeling from him.
Leaving his mouth, Sav flicked his tongue over his ear and whispered. “Let me bring you across tonight. We can satisfy this craving for each other once and for all.” Pulling him close Sav trailed his tongue down his neck.
“Joe, is everything ok out here.”
Sav quickly pulled back and growled at Fleur for interrupting them.
Joe got a hold on himself. “Yes….Fleur everything is fine.” he said clearing his throat.
Sav stepped away from him. “Another time maybe.” With that, he went back inside.
Fleur came over to Joe, touching his arm she asked him. “Are you sure you're ok?”
“Yes, I’m fine.” Joe mumbled softly.
“Would you care to join me for a drink?” Fleur said.
“That sounds like a winner to me.” Joe said and smiled at her.
Several people watched Sav as he came back into the room. He went over to the bar and ordered more blood wine. The only thing he wanted to do right now is get very drunk. He took two bottles and found a table in the corner to sat there so he could watch everyone else that hadn’t left yet, most of them vampires.
Vivian and Rick finally bid every one good night and went to bed. Phil was talking to a woman that he had met earlier in the evening. Nick and several others were engaged in a lively conversation about something they had done almost two hundred years ago and still found it funny. Joe and Fleur had spent much of the evening together, they were now back on the dance floor moving in step with a slow song.
Sav had drank almost four bottles of blood wine and was feeling quite bold. Leaving his seat, he went over to them and moved in close to Joe this time, instead of Fleur. Encircling Joe’s waist with his arms, stopping on his stomach with his fingers spread out, the other going to hold Fleur’s hip. Sav moved his hair aside and lightly kissed his neck, inhaling deeply of his scent. Joe made no move to shake him off, he didn’t care who was watching them. Joe had to much drink and was feeling tipsy from the alcohol. Fleur felt him tremble at Sav’s touch, he didn’t even turn around to see who it was. Her body respond, just by watching them.
Sav moved his hand up Joe’s chest, lightly running his lips over his neck, taking a bit of skin between his teeth, he sucked leaving a red mark when he pulled away. Going around them, Sav came up behind Fleur and pressed his body very close to hers. Turning his hand over he caressed her breast, kissing her neck all in time with the music. Fleur leaned back against him and Joe captured her up turned lips, she moaned softly from their touch.
“You want him Fleur?” Sav whispered in her ear, as Joe moved to the other side of her neck.
“Yes. I want both of you.” She replied breathlessly.
“I will not be joining you.” Sav replied softly. “But remember this. If you so much as knick his skin for a small taste, I will kill you.”
Sav stepped to the side of them and glared at her to get the point across. When she acknowledge him with a slight nod of her head, he turned and went back to his table.
Phil had watched the whole scene and was slightly shocked that Sav would display his feelings for Joe so openly in a room full of people. He also noticed that Joe didn’t seem to mind. He shook his head, one minute they were fighting and the next it was like this. He would never figure out that relationship between them. He saw Joe and Fleur leave a short time later, to unknown parts of the mansion. He finally told the woman he had been   talking to that it was time for bed. She wanted to join him, but he turned her down. Years ago he would have taken her to bed with him.
Watching them leave, Sav bid them a silent good night toast with his glass. Sav had the opportunity to join them, but turned it down out of respect for Joe’s privacy in wanting to be with Fleur, although he would still be close to him in his mind. Closing his eyes he felt Joe’s mood coming threw clearly. Pushing everything to the back of his mind, but was still able to feel him. Sav didn’t understand the bond they shared any more than Nick did. From what he has learned, you have to exchange a blood kiss in order to have one, but Joe has only had a little from that time in the shower, and from the other day in the studio, but it was there, the changing. It could take months or even years for him to completely revert, but he will. He does on very rare occasions drink blood to calm his stomach because of that reason. He also wasn’t sure if Joe was even aware of the bond, sometimes when they are in the studio, Sav would touch his mind and Joe would get a far away look in his eyes, or sway from the intensity of it and Sav would back off a little.
Six months ago he couldn’t even feel Nick through their bond. Several things were different that he noticed in himself after Marcus gave him that drug. He was able to feel the vibrations coming from Nick where ever he may be. Could keep him shut out of his mind. The blood lust he felt the first couple of days was still there, but he was able to control it better now. He still didn’t remember a lot from that first week after Nick had brought him back from Marcus’s home. He remembered the night with Joe and trying to take his own life because of what he said. Even now, it was hard not to just take him and bring him across fully, but he couldn’t go against his wishes, Joe wasn’t ready to come across completely. Shaking himself out of his deep thoughts, Sav grabbed the bottle he had been drinking and headed for the door. He needed some fresh air and a walk around the grounds was just the thing. He still had plenty of time for that, before the sun came up.
