Some silent command, then, and the car suddenly jerks forward, blares its horn, the excitable murmur of fans outside puncture with an angrier shout as the limo makes a more aggressive attempt for the street. Probably, Lestat should wait for his band. He is not in the mood.
The interior of the car has a strange unearthly nighttime glow about it, empty now save for the way the scent in the air speaks still of many bodies, makeup and sweat and perfume. Now, blood, permeating, stranger blood, Louis' blood.
Lestat closes his hand around Louis' elbow, drawing his arm towards him, tipping his head to evaluate a gouge in his skin. Without asking, or thinking, he bows his head to put his mouth to it.
Louis observes him as if from far away, time slowing around them. Lestat lowers his head, lifts Louis' arm and Louis knows what he doing and doesn't draw his arm away.
Like on the mangled balcony with two corpses at their feet, watching Lestat suck blood off his fingers, Louis simply watches. Feels his body catch fire.
The application of lips to the gouge in his skin drags sound from Louis. Stifled, almost a moan, tamped down into a ragged scrape of breath. His fingers flex, tighten and loosen and tighten again, knuckles grazing Lestat's chest. A sense of fabric, speckled with blood.
"Lestat," falls out of Louis' mouth.
Like Louis should have been gripping his chin, thumbing at his lower lip, Lestat shouldn't be touching him this way.
He'd been provoking Louis before. Louis is uncertain if this is better.
He steals a dainty sip from this healing wound, a moment of pressure that sharpens, abates, soothed then with the slick flat of his tongue as he'd healed the girl in the car. Hums his enjoyment for the taste. Swallows down the mouthful he'd pulled, feels he could swoon against Louis as his already excitable, already altered brain chemistry floods him with bliss.
His name is said, and Lestat looks up again. Almost a renewed shockâLouis, here, close, his taste in his mouth.
"Do you lick closed your own wounds," a blurry murmur, "so I don't know they were there?"
He tips his head, eyeline dipping again as if seeking out another injury to mouth.
Lestat puts his mouth, lips and tongue, to Louis' skin and Louis forgets everything that isn't him.
Long moments looking at Lestat's bloody face, the slice of blue in his eyes. Breathing. Feeling the lock-thud of their heartbeats.
Eventually: "My fingers work fine."
His voice sounds so ragged.
A true answer. Rubbing away wounds with cut fingertips, drinking down blood after to erase any lingering shadowed evidence of the injury. It's served.
It is nothing compared to this. Lestat keeps hold of his arm. Louis lets him. The car is moving and Louis doesn't know where they're going like he doesn't know what they're doing.
"I handle it."
Reassurance? Provocation? Even Louis can't say for certain.
Lestat murmurs this with his lips a fraction distance away from the next wound he has spied, fingers tightening as he presses his mouth over it. A low purr of an appreciating sound for the taste, letting his tongue map torn skin in a warm curl of pressure. Lingering as it closes up beneath this kiss.
"All by yourself," is surely needling, given the falsehood. He cannot quite get his mind around it, this insight into what Louis does with his time between all his little mentions of art galleries and sales. It resists sinking in.
But he can nip at the edges as he adapts. Insist on closing some wounds.
It is needling. Bracing, in a way, even as Louis feels as if he's sinking, the air between them molten as Lestat tongues a second wound higher up his arm. Being needled doesn't banish any feeling in Louis' body. It stokes the heat. Always has.
"If you'd given me five minutes, I'd have finished the other," Louis asserts. Believes it to be true. "I done it before."
Regularly. But how regularly isn't necessary in this moment.
"Oh," whisper soft against his skin. "I believe you."
That can never be in doubt. His fledgling, who has come so far into his own, who has survived much, who has burned the Parisian coven down, who has acquired a grander wealth than the hoard Lestat was gifted once. Who defeated him, once, ran a blade over his throat and bled him until death, and has survived his own impulses that call for his self-ending.
And Lestat wants him. Wants to push him down on the car seat while the driver circles whatever the fuck city they are in. Wants to move against him until release is located. Wants to drain him dry.
Lifts his head again, lips newly red, eyes still black. "But would the other two that were out there give you your five minutes?" The tip of his nose brushes Louis cheek. "Say 'thank you, Lestat'."
Treading over delicate ground, nettled and desirous and in pain. His fingers turn, catching hold of Lestat by the front of his shirt.
"You gonna make me?" Louis murmurs into the space between them. Everything smells of Lestat. Of blood. Intoxicating.
He'd kept all of it from Lestat. As much as he could. Lestat couldn't hear Louis' challenge, flung into the night. Lestat hasn't seen the aftermath, what takes place beyond the glare of his stardom. Louis had preferred it that way. His burdens to bear. His war, his scuffles and fights.
Louis' knuckles press down, feeling Lestat's breath rising and falling. Teetering between pushing him away and dragging him closer.
Then, sharp: a nipping bite there against Louis' cheek, fangs catching skin quick and sharp and drawing blood. The hand at Louis' arm reflexively tightens, less with an intent to wrangle him as it is impulse, pulling them together, Lestat already half leaning into him from his place on the leather-lined seats.
A cruelly loving kiss, or a relatively gentle reprimand, or both. Lestat has his fangs ready for the potential for response in kind, weight and muscle bearing against where Louis holds him at bay, or keeps him from leaving.
Bitten. A sharp jolt of sensation, distinct from the pain left by rising bruises and the dig of claws. Lestat bites him and Louis feels all his blood rushing up to meet the sting of fangs.
His grip tightens so hard at Lestat's shirt. Welcoming.
What a quick slide from their carefully established distance and boundaries to this.
Louis bites him back, with marks Lestat's teeth ringing his cheek dripping blood. Driven only by instinct, by wanting his teeth in Lestat's skin. They're kissing and Louis bites down on his lower lip and his mouth is awash in blood. Yanking on fabric hard enough that it gives way, drawing Lestat into him.
Lestat growls as Louis' fangs find the soft flesh of his lip, as hot blood rushes and makes slick their kissing. The seams of his vest tear like wet paper beneath the force of Louis' hand, and he is reeled in, a messy tangle on the seats. Shoving a thigh between Louis', straddling one of them, letting the way he is already mostly hard beneath the soft leather of his pants press against Louis' hip.
There are no brakes, no instinct to stop. The sense that they have had negotiations and made promises to one another is white noise in the background. The car smells of blood and Louis, and he plunders his mouth with a deeper kiss, hands gripping his shoulders, pressing him down.
It feels like electricity, the interaction of adrenaline, of arousal, of MDMA. His groan is guttural, muffled.
Had Lestat groaned this way in his dressing room, that night where they'd come all apart? Maybe. Louis doesn't remember. Has only a fleeting thought of it, there and gone, as Lestat gives him a thigh and Louis arches up against it. His back meets leather. Lestat is hard against his hip.
They shouldn't be doing this.
They are doing this.
They are doing this?
A hiss, injuries aggravated by sudden movement, but Louis is already grabbing at Lestat. Ruined vest tossed down to the floor of the limo and forgotten as Louis bites him again, sucks at his tongue.
No thank you offered, only the increasingly furious grasp of hands and draw of limbs, trapping Lestat in close as they kiss, snap, scrape, struggle,falling into each other.
A roll of movement, un-self-conscious in the way he grinds his hips down against Louis, scratching an itch. Little panted out sounds as they kiss, bite, claw.
Nearly a game more so than utility, when Lestat grabs at Louis' arms. Tries to force back the grasping embrace, goes to wrestle his arms up and back against the leather. The application of his strength is forceful rather than the yielding displays he might have dabbled in, those earlier days.
No, Louis is a big strong vampire now. He can take it.
I suppose he thought if he exposed all his power to me, I would never feel his equal and the relationship would suffer.
A theory. Louis felt it held weight. Has thought of it often in the passing years, more some decades than others and then less since the turning of the millennium. Lestat's restraint. Why he exerted it. What he hoped would come of it.
Here, now, Lestat pushes and Louis struggles, fights Lestat's grasp and the pinning pressure he exerts. Not above tricks, arching his hip up into Lestat's to distract as he twists in his grasp. The second time tonight, being grappled by the arms. Pain in this too, but it is not a deterrent, only a new dimension of sensation as Lestat pins his arms over his head.
They played like this in New Orleans, with what must have been barely a fraction of Lestat's strength. Old games, new context. Louis twists bodily beneath him, tasting blood. Biting again, Lestat's chin and jaw, one leg bracing on the floor in search of some leverage as Louis snipes up, "You think this is all it takes?"
In a fight? No. But when it is them, when it's Lestat—
A bite lands painful at the bony edge of his jaw, enough that Lestat hisses at him. Applies pressure, wrestling wrists down against the seat.
It isn't easy. Louis is strong, fierce, determined. He bucks and twists and Lestat hasn't gone to too much trouble to position his lower half properly, nor does he want to, a shuddered groan punched out of him. Still hard, aching. It is all the same thing, nothing inside of him at war with another.
It isn't easy and he likes it all the better for that. So many reasons to go gently in those early days, among them being the selfish desire not to always win so easily.
But he will win, if matched strength is all it takes. He always will.
In other scuffles, Louis takes care to make sure it never comes down to simply matched strength. He creates favorable conditions. He burns those who would pin him down.
He doesn't wish to burn Lestat. And his favorable conditions here are only the distraction he creates with the upward drive of his hips and the snap of his teeth.
Panting, stubborn, aching, Louis shakes his head. Bares his teeth back up to Lestat, bloody mouth and gold-glinting fangs, no indication that pinned hands has persuaded him as he rocks upwards.
A harsh laugh out of Lestat when Louis refuses then melts into a moan. Panting, angling his hips to grind back down against him. Golden glitter and glue-on sequins have transferred from himself to Louis, mingled in the confused mix of blood. He looks so beautiful when he is furious, and dressed as he is now, sheer fabrics and biting leather.
Then, a moment of slippage. The forceful pinning shifts in pressure where muscled, deliberate strength gives way to Lestat using his weight as he moves to eke out pleasure between them, hands squeezing.
All these things in combination: the bruising grip of Lestat's hands, the application of weight and friction, Lestat himself.
It is undoing. It would be undoing if Louis were even an iota less stubborn than he is, and even then—
He still moans through the sensation, gritting teeth, squirming for purchase as his heel scrapes along the plush carpet on the floor of the limousine. Useless leverage. It gives him nothing but better purchase through which to receive Lestat's ministrations.
"This ain't gonna do it."
Denial still. A game of keep away, another old favorite.
Louis still twisting against Lestat's grasp. Less a bid for freedom than it is a reassurance of how well he is caught. Familiar. They are so changed but see how much of them remains, see what is still here even after almost a century apart.
Edited (Strike that reverse it ) 2025-07-24 12:12 (UTC)
Louis' hands twist and tug; Lestat bears him down harder, a tight enough squeeze of his fingers to leave bruises.
The sway of the car that is still driving them, navigating a corner. Lestat doesn't care. They could be anywhere. In a burning club, his trashed dressing room, a space station orbiting Mars. The driver is an insignificant being who has been given a directive to follow. He has Louis under him, moaning and full of the denial that sends him right back to the early 1900s in the best way.
"Oh?" Lestat breathes out, while pleasuring himself in languid rolls of his hips. "I don't believe you."
A passing attempt to buck Lestat off, thwarted by the lack of torque in these turns. A limousine isn't built for speed, doesn't provide the momentum Louis needs to unseat Lestat.
"Fuck you," is unimaginative, panted out while Louis tries to regroup.
Lestat is an impossible distraction. Louis' mouth is full of his blood and his senses are so occupied by his closeness. Lestat over him and focused on him and flushed with pleasure and infuriating.
They aren't supposed to be doing this.
Louis arches up to snap his teeth at him anyway, seeking to draw blood once more.
Louis gets a broad, fanged grin for these words, all the delight and innuendo in the world evident in the spread of smile across his face. Love runs hot in his veins, along with everything else.
And cobra-quick, another bite. The sharp pain of it sends a heated internal shiver through him, and Lestat has ducked his head down to crush a kiss to Louis' mouth before he can think. Bullies his face aside with his own to lick at the cheek mark he'd laid down before capturing Louis in another kiss, teeth scraping, licking at the taste of their mingled blood with vocal sounds of desire, soft growls.
Shifts, intent on pinning Louis' legs with his own, a tangled straddling designed to immobilise, to give himself freedom to move and deny Louis the same.
Louis has been provoked. There is some hot, furious feeling in him that Lestat feeds, and the flickering recollection of Lestat's dressing room, their argument, the fracture of it, is drowned out under the application of teeth and tongue, the insistence of each kiss. If there was a hope of restraint, the intention of collecting himself Louis had grasped at when they'd left the club, it is dwindling down to nothing.
And there is what is always true: Louis wants him. Has been wanting him. Has wanted Lestat for near a century and more.
Lestat, who makes these familiar sounds and Louis feels the vibration of them in his chest. It's a wholly separate ache from the determined fight Louis puts up as Lestat pins him more securely, wrangles Louis through the wild twists and bucking attempts at evasion.
Bites down hard on Lestat's lower lip, comes away red-mouthed and panting and still straining within Lestat's grasp. No sign of yielding, considering the likelihood of escape.
If he wants to escape, truly, beyond stubborn inclination towards a struggle.
Lestat is a mess of bites. Mouth bruised and bleeding, jaw and neck decorated in little bruising puncture wounds, and none of them from any enemy vampire. It is a relief. His affairs with humans are, by necessity, gentle things. Rare that a set of blunt teeth apply themselves hard enough to mark his skin. None of them would hiss vulgarities at him, struggle with him, hate him.
He would whisper I've missed you into Louis' unwilling ear if he didn't think it would break something.
He drags Louis' arms up over his head, crossing them together. It is good and fortunate that they had a limo arranged for the evening, room to play.
"The words escape you," he murmurs, continuing his dedicated rocking movement, eking out friction and satisfaction despite the layers of leather between them. "I know they do. But you are grateful, I know it. Aching with gratitude. Leaking it. You don't want me to have it?"
They are supposed to be doing something else. Friendship.
Instead, Lestat's hips roll down and Louis bites his own tongue, stifles whatever sound might come at the application of pressure in a rush of blood. He is helplessly hard, nothing to be done for it. It is as it always was: they want each other. Louis wants Lestat.
His arms burn, half-healed wounds and overstrained muscle aggravated once more. Louis struggles still, even as Lestat firms up his grip. Even as Lestat lays him out.
Maybe he is proving a point. Maybe this is all play. Maybe both.
Louis shakes his head. Can't open his mouth for fear the sounds that fall from his lips would betray him. Ragged breaths, still twitching towards any possibility of reversing their positions and coming up empty handed.
Old games. They stopped playing them even before Louis cut Lestat's throat.
A heavier panting that warms Louis' cheek and jaw and throat. Half-lost in it, senses heightened, excitable, eyes still black enough to reduce his blue eyes to slivered rings around void. Where they are no longer matters and, slowly, neither does when. They could be a hundred years ago. Louis, wrestling with his shame. Lestat, breaking him of it.
"Yes," murmured as Louis shakes his head.
And then: release. No, not completely, but it might feel like freedom after how tightly locked down Louis has been when the pressure comes up off one of his arms. Lestat, reaching for the fastenings of his own pants, wanting more, even if more is just the relative freedom of being to fuck against Louis properly.
Confident he can re-wrangle him. Willing to give him a chance at alteration. Greedy for whatever he might choose to do, or not do. All of these things.
