suffering.”
    Max nodded and moved his hips. A bright flush covered his cheeks and Simon smiled, knowing the other man was testing the plug out. He’d been the same way when he’d started wearing one. “I like them too.”
    “I thought you didn’t let guys in your ass very often,” Max said, frowning.
    “True. But can you imagine being on top of someone with that in you? Feeling it stroke your prostate every time you thrust into the man?” Simon asked him. Max’s mouth fell open and Simon nodded. “It’s pretty incredible.”
    “Damn.”
    They shared a minute of near silence with only their breaths filling the room before Max asked the question Simon had been avoiding for a full year and a half since he’d moved in with the other man.
    “So what was that?” he asked.
    Simon sighed, not quite sure how he was going to explain this to the other man. “Well, you know what vampires are right?” he started, sounding like an idiot.
    Max’s mouth fell open. “You’re a-”
    Shaking his head, Simon turned over onto his side to face the other man as well. “No. I’m not. Just, try to keep an open mind and forget all of the Hollywood crap you’ve been fed, alright? Can you do that?”
    Max slowly nodded. “Sure. I can. Or I’ll try to at least”
    “Good. Vampires, as they really are, aren’t the monsters you’ve been made to believe. They’re more like anemic people that get horrible sunburns. They might have been monsters at one time, but now they’ve evolved. They eat their meat nearly bloody but they don’t go around biting people. There’s no covens, no telepathy, no telekinesis, no super strength- none of it,” Simon explained.
    “Sounds boring,” Max said quickly. “So no flight either?” Simon shook his head. “Or turning into bats?” Again Simon shook his head. “Then what the hell point is there to being a supernatural being if you don’t get any of the perks?”
    “I’m guessing it was an evolutionary way to assimilate. But what I’m trying to say is that I’m half vampire, on my father’s side. Not that it really matters since it’s not like being a male vampire actually changes anything,” Simon tried to explain. He waited for Max’s reaction, dreading the worst.
    “So what’s your other half?” Max asked. “Sex fairy?”
    Snorting, Simon shook his head. “You’re not that far off though actually. My mother was a succubus. She seduced my father, not realizing what he was. When she gave birth to me a few months later I don’t think she was all that happy about it. I got dropped on my father’s front porch. She rang the doorbell, and I’m told there was a pretty big argument.” Simon shrugged. “As an infant I don’t remember any of it. But the basics are that I haven’t seen her since, my father’s family raised me and the only thing that’s weird about me, the only thing that gave me away tonight, is that when I feel pain I switch over.”
    Max stared at him, his mouth hanging open a bit.
    “C’mon Max, say something,” Simon softly pleaded, hating how out of control he felt.
    “You’re so weird,” Max replied, turning over onto his back and laughing. “So you want to have sex all the time because you’re half succubus?”
    Simon laughed. “I want to have sex with you because I’m a healthy adult guy and you’re damn sexy.”
    Max rolled his eyes. “I’m hardly all that.”
    Simon moved on top of him, pinning him down. “Yeah. You are.”
    “So how old are you?” Max asked him, his arms coming up to hold Simon against him as he sank between the vee in Max’s thighs, pressing their bodies together.
    His mouth quirked up into a smile as Simon replied, “Thirty-five. The age that I put on my application. Plus I did have a birthday so there is that, too.”
    “No immortality either?” Max looked shocked as Simon shook his head. “Damn. So there really are no benefits to being a vampire-succubus baby?”
    Simon snorted. “None. But at least I
