He could smell the sweat on Alistair and it was amazing how intoxicating that scent was. The vampire crossed the room in an instant and opened the box. The sweetest calico kitten looked up at him and he stuck his hands in the box, gathering the small bundle of fur into them and lifting it up. It may have not liked Alistair but it simply stared at Jolyon for a moment or two before it started to purr. Jolyon smiled down at the little kitten and walked over to his desk to set out a little bowl of cream for the kitten. Not what I was expecting but it'll do, he stroked the kitten's back, I think I'll name it Alice. He wondered if Alistair would be offended he wanted to name the kitten after him. The Vampire retreived the flintlock he had promised the hunter and presented it to the man letting him grab it out of his hand. He let Alistair examine it, watched as he held it out to get a feel for it in his hand. He noticed the dark circles beneath the human's eyes. You did not sleep, it was a simple observation. Jolyon kept his eyes on the kitten. He had noticed it the minute the man had walked in, he could see the anxiety in his face and could still smell that delicious, salty-sweet smell. Is it because of your ruined weapon? Jolyon reached into his pocket, brushing his fingers across the newly made pocket watch. He wondered if the man would accept a gift like this from him, it was not a part of their usual arrangement and he had never before given a gift to the man before. Alistair was always distant with Jolyon because of his vampirism, he wasn't even sure if Alistair liked pocket watches but it seemed the only thing he could make out of the salvaged pieces. I...I have something. For you. A gift, if you will. He pulled the watch from his pocket and placed it in the Hunter's hands, it was the most physical contact they had ever had save for the few playful touches Jolyon stole to irritate the young man. He put some distance between them by returning to his bench, petting Alice as he hid his face from Alistair. He did not want to see any disgust on the man's face, it so happens that he had put a lot of work into the watch and was not keen on being mocked for it. It is all I could salvage from what you gave me last night, you seemed to have a personal attachment to the item. He wasn't sure what it was about this particular young man. There was just this certain air of confidence and stubbornness that made his like him. And there were other things, subtler things. The smell of his skin, the color of his hair, the curve of his neck. The last person he had felt like this around... he wouldn't do that again. It had been a mistake to turn Ivan, he was not the the type of vampire to repeat his mistakes. He simply liked to be around Alistair, and that smell... the smell of Alistair's blood somehow seemed different than any other human's, it smelled...better, stronger. He couldn't stop himself from moving behind the young man, from taking in a deep breath and savoring that delicious smell Alistair always brought into his place. You smell so... good , he sighed as he brought cold, soft fingers to the back of his neck for a light touch. He felt the human stiffen beneath him, heard that wonderful symphony of a heart beating fast, pumping the life-giving liquid throughout the body. His mouth watered and he wanted so badly to sink his teeth right on the pulse point which thudded with every pump of his heart. He let his fingers linger a little long, wondering why he hadn't brushed him away just yet. His fingers moved to rub a strand of Alistair's hair in between his fingers. It was smooth and like silk on his skin. I've always liked your hair color. So unique, that touch of red. Jolyon's voice had dropped an octave, his lust for the Hunter palpable. He was dying to let his hands wander over this human body, he wanted to find the perfect spot to feed, the one that would make it a little more pleasurable for the young man. He decided to go out on a limb and make the Hunter an offer, Just a little taste, I'll make it worth your while.
