I don’t pretend to know who Phelios
is; I DO own book 15, but I haven’t had time to read it yet. *
Anyway, it’s my
assumption here that Yujinn knows (before the others find out later) that

Darres did indeed have a hard on
that early afternoon, but not from any dream. He stood behind the Princess
chair, observing her Highness’ lessons – and the devilish man giving them,
while delicately shielding his crotch. Ishtar sat there bored, absently
stroking the kyawl on her lap, who purred a loud, sated purr. Darres couldn’t
be sure, but he would swear that the cat occasionally looked his direction and
smirked. Then there were the moments in which Yujinn’s attention would settle
briefly on the fur ball and it was as if something passed between them, unknown
to the others present. Then Yujinn
would smirk and go back to lecturing. All in all, the Captain found the entire thing
quite unsettling.
Yujinn’s
velvety voice and subtly swaying masculine curves weren’t helping any. It made
the memory of the previous night so
much more vivid in his mind.

man like this. However, he was finding he was talented in this skill area – or
at least Yujinn seemed to think so judging by the tense fist in his dark hair and
the moans and sighs coming from the man whose lap he knelt before. The blonde
especially seemed to enjoy it when Darres did this thing with his tongue…
Darres smirking mouth.
Behind the moans and enraptured
face, Yujinn was smirking too. He’d known this would be worth the wait and the
effort of seducing the Captain.
“Aaaahhh! Ooooo.” Oh, Phelios,
there was that tongue thing again! He’d wanted to take things slowly with the
inexperienced younger man (for the past couple nights Yujinn had simply let the
flirting and kissing take their course), but he couldn’t help himself now. He
pulled Darres off him as gently as his passion allowed and slid to his knees
before the bewildered captain, staring mischievously into his eyes.

Duzzel
had pouted only so long before he thought of something to keep him busy after
Ishtar had thrown him out. Actually, it was the same thing he’d been thrown out
for. But when the King of Vampires
was horny, he was horny; and he wasn’t
accustomed to being turned down or thrown out. So off he’d gone in search of
Yujinn, who he’d found to be quite impish and always ready for a bit of action.
When he reached the door to
Yujinn’s workshop, Duzzel chuckled to himself that the mage seemed to already
be busy with someone else. No matter. Three was always more fun than two. He
smoothed his long silvery hair and knocked. He waited only a moment to hear
some scuffling and a muttered, “Shit,” from the other side of the door, before
slipping elegantly into the room.
Yujinn sat primly in his favorite
chair, hair mussed, robes slightly askew, with his long fingers tapered
together. Darres knelt next to him, scrambling to buckle his breast plate on.
When Yujinn saw who it was, his arrogant posture dropped and he laughed,
relaxing.
“Oh! It’s just you.” He grinned
flirtatiously at the vampire and rested his chin on a hand. Darres was not
quite so relieved. He glanced wide-eyed between Yujinn and the intruder, who
was now grinning back like the cat who ate the canary. “Darres, you’ve met the
Princess’ … Doctor, have you not?”
The newcomer’s gaze darkened momentarily on the emphasis put on “doctor” but
quickly returned to “evil pussy cat” mode as he turned to the Captain and
grinned wider.
“I wasn’t aware you’d made Captain
Darres one of your play things, Yujinn,” he said with a smirk. The Captain
blanched, continued to stare back and forth for a confused moment and then
hastened to leave the room.
“Tomorrow then, Darres,” Yujinn
called as Duzzel stepped aside to let the other pass without a word.
The door shut and the remaining two
shared a glance before bursting into laughter. A moment later, Duzzel had swept
across the floor to lean over the sitting blonde, once more grinning
his feral grin. “So…”
::End Flashback::
Darres sighed at the memory and
once more tried to ease his discomfort by shifting his posture.
“Wouldn’t you agree, Captain
Darres?”
“What?” All eyes were turned to him
and Yujinn was grinning that bloody grin of his again.
“I was explaining to Her Highness
why it is so very important for her to understand all the relationships of the
courtiers around her.”
“Yes. Court relationships. Yes,
it’s important to know one’s true allies.” Darres glared at Ishtar’s tutor.
Yujinn hid his laughter by turning his back to them. Jill and
snorted. Her cat sneezed.
Darres resolved to have a word with
the blonde mage in private later that evening after the Princess turned in for
the night.

Some people interpret a cat’s sneeze as laughter…
Please leave me a quick review, even if you hated it. But if
u hated it, you probably wouldn’t have read this far. *shrug* ^_~
