Send "You take such joy in pretending you're okay" to see how my muse reacts.Is that so? Perhaps you should educate me, mon cher.
♛”Well the warm welcome you gave me last night was – I suspect – quite mutually satisfactory… Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, non?”
I am far better than “okay” or “satisfactory,” based upon the sounds coming from you last night, yes. A reeducation is always warranted, of course. Particularly after time apart.
♛You were delicious… /are/ delicious. So good to know you missed me so much. (sings) If I said I wanted your body, would you hold it against me?
If you continue singing that song, I may have to reconsider.
♛ (immediately stops singing, unties Louis’ hair gently) Oh darling, sweetness… of course the Vampire Lestat takes requests! What would you prefer to be serenaded into bed with? Hmmm? Anything!
He allowed his hair to be released from its tie, brow raising. Did Lestat intend to indulge him tonight? Certainly, he knew of the secret pleasure he took in having his hair “played” with, or scalp massaged. ”Oh, I can think of a few serenades that involve a great deal of sound, but few words but my name and “please.” Unless you have other plans, of course…”
♛Lestat concealed the thrill that ran through his heart at these words, instead letting slip only a tiny smile. “That’s good to hear, chaton… I believe I can accommodate this request,” Oh yes, Louis would have to work to get that song out of him, but it was already echoing in his ears, layers of that music that only they could make together, from the desperate little cries to the low, demanding curses in the old French they both knew so well.
As these thoughts swirled slowly, like wine in a sommelier’s glass, Lestat dropped his gaze from Louis’ eyes, and circled behind him, fingers lightly dancing their way up his body to the mussed silk of dark hair. Just barely combing this with his fingernails. An almost imperceptible, and soothing, grazing sound. Whispered into Louis’ fine ear: “You have me all night, your own private concert starring the Vampire Lestat."
