Good at what he did? He kinda wondered if Marcus meant by sex......he didnt understand why Marcus turned him or favored him. Sure he got some interesting powers after being turned but he still felt weak compared to most vampires and even after centuries of learning and practicing......he still would forever remain a weakling. The fact that he also lost to a werewolf.......that was even more embarassing and it happened right infront of Marcus and arya knew about it to.

He listened to what the man said but his words didnt bring him any comfort at all. He just looked down at the water and kept very quite, playing with the bubbles and didnt know why he was suddenly feeling this way. "I know you don't need a body guard but......it's the fact that I need one is what upsets me......" He said softly."Why did you even sire me......what about me while I was human made you want to change me?" He asked and turned around to look at Marcus.

Damien had always had a good eye for business in his eyes, that was one of the many reasons why he'd wanted to keep him around. That, and he needed some fresh blood in the household as he'd put Arya to studying a long time ago. While he'd focused Arya on studying history and making records, he tried to let Damien develop his sense of business further. He never actually told him before, but more often than not he'd ended up making the changes suggested by the younger vampire.

"Well, I made you my pet because you are beautiful. I kept you around because unlike my other pets at the time, you weren't afraid to be honest, that showed me your strength of character. Frankly, I sired you because your take on things was new and different from what I was used to. I thought I could use a fresh set of eyes," wrapping his arms around Damien again and leaning in and placed a kiss on his cheek. He needed to make sure Damien understood exactly why he'd kept him around.

"After being away from you for so long, I can really appreciate you, and not just for sex. You're intelligent, and you still think differently from me, which is a good thing." He'd never had to explain in so many words what he enjoyed about someone, but he would gladly explain over and over to Damien.

He had a feeling that his beauty is what caught the vampires eye first. Even when he was human, he was quite the looker and many young girls wanted his attention and of corse their was unwanted attention from older males at the time. He looked to Marcus still and listed intently on what his maker was telling him. He wondered about this for centuries and now he was getting the answers. He had always been wary of asking Marcus, mainly because he was afraid of the answer he would get.

"I thought that you hated people who spoke out......you would always get mad at me when I spoke my mind...." He said and looked alittle confused.

Marcus wasn't sure if Damien really wanted to know the truth about why he'd been changed. Sure, he'd wanted a fledgeling he could keep around as a lover as well, but he'd always felt he needed strict control over the younger vampire to make sure he wasn't getting in trouble. It had worked wonderful with Arya, so he'd almost expected it to work with Damien as well.

"There's a difference between speaking your mind in spite and truthful pillow talk," he chuckled and nuzzled Damien again. "I never could punished you too harshly for anything love. You might think I was hard on you, but you got off a lot easier than many others."

The warm water actually felt good after the tension of the night before, though he really hoped Damien would never have to feel like a damsel in distress again. He seemed to have done just well on his own up until Marcus came back into his life, maybe he'd be better off if he left again? "Were you happier before I returned?"

He pouted some at Marcus words."I can't help it......I like to speak my mind." He mumbled and sigh softly. He started to blow some bubbles out of his hand and it hit Marcus right on the cheek, he couldn't help but to giggle some and listened more at his sites words."I did......I would hate to see what you did to people when you went all out." He admitted

He blinked at the question. He would admit he as happier to be out of Marcus thumb but that was because he was treated like a pet."I will admit I was happy to be away from you...." He said and then straddled Marcus waist with a smile."but I am more happy to have you back in my life....." He added and kissed at Marcus neck while his hand was rubbing up and down his chest.

Marcus couldn't help but chuckle at Damien's words and his adorable pout like that. "Lucky for you your days as a pet are long gone. As it is now, I rather appreciate when you speak your mind." Sure, he would've minded Damien speaking his mind if he was still determined to keep strict control over the younger vampire, but he had changed since they'd last been together. Before, he'd been stuck in the same thought patterns as he'd always followed, the way he was raised so to speak. Control was power and power was everything.

During their time apart, Marcus would admit that it was Alice in many ways that made him change as she wouldn't tolerate his old ways at all. He'd been enthralled by her wits and the fact that she was Talbot's, so he'd taken her for himself and learned to find ways to make her want to stay with him. Immortality got lonely fast if all he did was live alone or surrounded by people who only stuck around out of fear.

"You should ask your sister one day about the all out option, though she needed it to feel anything," he chuckled. Of course, he doubted Damien would actually ask Arya, and he doubted even more that she would tell him. She was loyal that one, and at a time exactly what he needed. Right now however, he needed Damien, and he needed him in a way that Damien could accept.

When Damien straddled him, Marcus couldn't help but smile and enjoy the affection he was given. "Some time apart seems to have been exactly what we needed then love. You need to be your own person, and I needed to learn to accept that," he said and closed his eyes, leaning back and just enjoying Damien's sweet touches.

He smiled at Marcus words, glad that his maker was accepting him now. Damien needed to go somewhere in this world to make something out of himself and that was exactly what he got. He smiled at his maker who was enjoying his touches. You know Arya would never tell me. He mumbled.

He nibbled some at Marcus neck, going him and gently brought Marcus head closer to him and kissed him very deeply. He sigh softly into the kiss, running his hands through the mans hair as he did so. He did break it with a playful smirk. Besides......don't you like that I give myself up to you so willing..... He asked. running his hands over Marcus chest and went down to his stomach before going back up.

He moved himself alittle lower and kept his bright blue eyes on the other before rubbing himself against the man with a soft moan and leaned forward to kiss him deeply. He wanted to please Marcus in anyway he could.

He'd had no other choice than to accept Damien for who he was if he wanted to keep the younger vampire around. Besides, he'd changed since then and that was a good thing really. The world had really changed since he'd left Damien on his own and he would never have gotten away with it if he hadn't and he could always just go to Arya if he had a desperate need for returning to old habits for a day. But he didn't want to think about her now.

The moment Damien's lips touched his own, Marcus kissed him back, running his hands up his lover's back. "It makes it all the sweeter when you are so willing," he murmured and moaned softly into the kiss. He had half a mind to just take Damien right then and there in the bath, but he wanted to please him and make up for the events of the night before.

---
I'm sorry, my muse is just shot these days =/

He had half a mind to just tease the hell out of Marcus and smirked at the moan that left Marcus lips. He kissed him deeply, breaking it for a moment to run his hand down his neck and over his chest. He leaned forward and started to kiss down his neck, nibbling along the skin and tugged on Marcus hair.

Mmm so what would you like to do to me Marcus....you can do whatever you want. He whispered softly into the mans ear.

Before Marcus could do anything, he suddenly stood up and just left the tub, looking behind him and just swayed his hips some.

Another moan escaped him at Damien's sensual whisper in his ear and the opportunities presented to the older vampire. He would surely take Damien up on his offer to do whatever he wanted to the youngling, he just needed to figure out exactly what he wanted. Though before he could make up his mind, Damien left the tub in such a teasing manner.

Before Damien could cover much ground, Marcus was on him, bringing those soft lips hungrily to his own. "I want to fuck you on every surface of the bedroom," he murmured when he broke the kiss. He really had gone all out as far as affection went toward Damien, Marcus could never bring himself to seriously hurt the handsome man currently in his arms.

With a swift move, he'd more or less pushed Damien onto the bed before he kissed up his thigh, deciding to return the favor and tease him for a change. Nibbling gently on the soft skin, he moved to take the vampire in his mouth, nice and slow, his tongue working in steady circles.

Before he had a chance to tease the other more, Marcus was suddenly on him in a swift movement. He moaned softly and watched as Marcus kissed along his thigh, biting his lower lip. When Marcus took him into his mouth, he tilt his head head and felt his pale cheek turn a bright pink at the feeling. He panted softly, not helping to spread his legs and let the other in even more.

He knew that allowing Marcus to do whatever he wanted that they were more likely going to be in the bedroom all day. He watched his maker and gulped, not knowing what the man had in store for him.

They had two options really. Stay in the bedroom all day and really enjoy one another or go home. Of course he'd pick the former, it was too soon to go home just yet. They had barely had any time completely to themselves yet and that was what he wanted now. And since Damien had asked him what he wanted to do, he felt like he had permission to do as he pleased.

When Damien spread his legs like that, Marcus pulled him further into his mouth before he released the other and moved to kiss up that perfect stomach. When he reached those perfect lips again, he kissed him passionately and started stroking the other. Breaking the kiss, he murmured into Damien's ear: "We're not going anywhere today." Even his voice was rather gleeful at this point as he was looking forward to spending as much time as possible with his lover.

He panted softly at the feeling and looked away from Marcus, he was acting all embarassed for some reason and felt his cheek burn even brighter with color. Finally Marcus took him out of his mouth and kissed up his stomach, he watched the other with a faint smile and kissed him back, deepening it and whimpered when he was suddenly being stroked.

He bite his lower lip at Marcus when he said that they weren't going anywhere today. I like the sound of that.....besides would you rather do whatever you want to me or go out and see stuck up vampires.... He said and reached down to give Marcus a surprised rub of his own.

Marcus was sure that he could please Damien and make sure his fledgeling had a hard time moving due to exhaustion by the end of the day. After all, he wanted to truly show him how much he enjoyed having him around, and Marcus couldn't think of a better way than this. There was no point in not enjoying Damien while he could.

"There's absolutely no place I'd rather be than right here with you, enjoying every inch of your perfect body," he murmured and moaned softly when Damien started stroking him in return.

~*~

It was well past midnight and Marcus was too tired by now to really move a muscle. He'd kept true to his word and enjoyed the younger vampire all day, on every surface in the room and every inch of that body. All he could do now was to sit up and make a phone call, ordering a donor brought to them as soon as possible. Who'd have thought it could be so absolutely satisfying to spend the entire day with his lover.

Damien was completely spent. Him and Marcus had never gone for it for that long before....they went at it practically all day and half way through the night. Damien was dead asleep, holding onto Marcus weakly and when he felt the man move, he made a noise of protest at the man moving but he merely turned on his side and snuggled up close to a pillow.

He heard Marcus asking for a donor which was a good idea at this point because they needed some blood after how long and hard they went at it. He opened his eyes and turned back around to look up at Marcus, reaching out and grabbed his arm, giving Marcus this cute look.
