“No. I’m at a resort. In the wilderness. Not exactly a lot of nightlife. Lots of wildlife, instead,” Cian told his editor, Hartford, over the phone. “I can’t get any work done. It’s all howling wolves and chirping crickets. I’m booked for two weeks. I’m going to go insane.”

The room at Cereus was amazing. The windows soared right up into the ceiling, which gave a panoramic view of the moon and stars at night. Modular, remote controlled steel shutters kept the sun at bay during the day, which proved a vamp like him had a hand in the design. The furniture in his room was atmospheric, reminiscent of the middle ages, with a half-tester bed and a giant clothing press, the couches and chairs done in deep wine fabric.

Lovely.

And boring him out of his mind. Unlike your average novelist, Cian was not an introvert. He wanted to be where

the people were. Where the blood ran hot. He wanted to play. Hard. “Well, if you want me to send a car,” Hartford said. “You let me know. I thought you liked this guy’s clubs.”

“I do. Bloodrose is hoppin’. This is more of a hideaway.”

This place was... slow. Lazy. Casual. Everyone was about their own lives, too. There wasn’t a bit of mingling. Not even at the hot tub after dark.

“Sounds like a good place to write.”

“Stop it. I need input, not solitude. I cannot produce words without intake. You know that.”

A loud version of “Back in Black” started, right outside his window. Christ. It was... eleven a.m. By all rights, he would still be asleep if he was a young vamp, but he’d indicated clearly that he wasn’t a heavy sleeper.

Two voices were going on and on, caterwauling away with the song, and the sound made him... hungry?

He licked his lips and he could almost taste hot, rich, magical blood.

“What the hell is that noise?” Hartford asked.

He’d forgotten he was on the phone. “AC/DC apparently. I need to call up to the desk.”

“Uh. Okay. Call if you need rescuing.”

“I will. I’ll have that draft to you in two weeks if it kills me.” He hung up, going to the TV and turning it on. He wasn’t going to tell Hartford that he had a camera he could call up, no need to phone the desk.

The camera showed two boys -- shaggy and tanned and wearing “Jeep Naked” t-shirts -- singing and pruning bushes. One stripped off his t-shirt, like he knew someone was watching, baring a stunning taut belly and tight little brown nipples.

“Oh.” Cian said it out loud, his mouth watering. Look at them.

Boy Number Two pounced Half Naked Boy, taking him to the ground and kissing him, hard, before bouncing back. The shirtless one laughed and jumped up, grabbing Boy Two’s ass. They were simply lovely.

They started singing again, dancing and trimming bushes, pouncing and playing like pups. He could watch this for hours. If he didn’t think it would singe his eyeballs, he would watch out the window.
