From "Hunger for the Edge," collected in Into Dark Waters by Angelia Sparrow and Naomi Brooks. Available in ebook or trade paperback from Inkstained Succubus.
Zach is a party boy who has brought home a beautiful half-black man, whose blue eyes no longer see, from his favorite club. But his one-night stand turns into a second, and his trick is far more than Zach expected.
"Young and beautiful and bored." Adrien stroked his head. He lay silent for a while, thinking. Without warning, he flipped Zach onto his back and snarled, letting his fangs descend. "Hear me before you make this choice."
"I'm listening." Zach was already breathing hard.
"You think only of your vanity, your youth. Do you have an income source that will last for the next five hundred years? Do you have a plan what to do with the lengthy death I am about to give you?"
Zach shook his head. He'd given no thought to the mundanities of life, or undeath.
"Then I have a proposition for you. I will stay with you while you create them. If you wish, I will even drink from you: the 'rush,' the 'high' you desire. I will teach you what you must know of your extended death."
"Do it," Zach breathed. He was hard again. All his life, body fluids had meant death. Here, they meant eternal life.
Adrien licked along his neck "Where does your shirt end?" When Zach marked the edge with a finger, he buried his fangs just below it. Zach cried out, louder than he ever had from mere fucking. His hips bucked and when Adrien drew the fangs out to lick and suck at the blood, barely a quarter-cup, he moaned clear through it.
