A crueller and pettier person than Armand -- Lestat, say -- might wonder why it's taken an interview with an old man for Louis to be reminded of what matters. Armand himself keeps his mouth and mind closed from that line of thinking, concentrating instead on the gentle slide of Louis' hand on his cock, the taste of his skin beneath his tongue.

You think I would remain asleep for that? He asks, his mouth otherwise occupied. With a low pleased noise, he lets slip his fangs and sinks them deep into Louis' neck, precisely over the point where his major artery lies closest to the surface. Blood flows; he begins to suck it down with practised swallows, tasting Louis, tasting the young man he fed from the day before, smoke and iron and the deep richness of the life that sustains their dark gift.

It's one of the oldest rituals, the deepest mysteries, used to bond vampires together. The exchange of blood, life into death pumped by the vampire heart, sharing one's essence, the core of their being, a baring of throat to another's teeth the ultimate vulnerability and submission. Armand glories in it, grateful, letting himself go into the cycle of blood from throat to heart to throat to heart, stretching back beyond the mortal who died to give Louis this blood, beyond himself and Louis, to the throats and hearts of their makers, of their makers' makers, all the way back into the darkest ages.

He arcs up into Louis' arms, half undressed and hard against Louis' thigh, drinking deep. Then, before he can take too much, he pulls back with a physical wrench. Licks his teeth and his lips and gazes, full of adoration, at Louis. Without speaking, he lifts his hand, offering his wrist towards his companion. Eyes shining with the renewal of their connection.

"Take from me, my love. And then you can take me. Everything I have. Everything I am."
