The Corner of H & L (24)

“’Well…’” she mocked me, “I’m glad to hear it, sugarlips. So here’s the fine print – just like I said, the favor has to be in your room. You can take as long as you need to make me scream, but if you walk out that door before I squirt, the favor’s off, and I get my thing. That’s you, in case you’ve already forgotten. Oh, and you have to make me cum. No whipping out toys or tools, or alligator-clipping a car battery to my nipples. I mean old-fashioned loving, and until your little fellow comes around, that means tongue and lips, same as I used on you.”

“One orgasm, and you won’t cheat.”

“I won’t argue with more than one, honey, if you can manage it. And I promise you, I’m going to do whatever I can to get off on you. No sandbagging from me.”

“Okay.”

Cheating Life – 14.2

But then they were discovered, or made themselves public, or some combination of the two, right about when the Stephenson Lens was invented. I’ve heard that the Stephenson Lens was what uncovered them, and I’ve heard that the vampires themselves made the Lens. Either way, they were public.

For a few months the world reeled from the shock. Some people thought they should be kicked out of whatever country they were in, but the girls had their fingers in too many businesses, and in too many politicians pockets. Some people thought there should be a war, an extermination, and in a few countries there have been, or still are. Around here there were killings on both sides before it all settled down.

But this country has always prided itself on the capacity to absorb any kind of newcomer. Vampires had already learned to live sociably with people long ago, and they already had a pretty strong lobby at the capital and the money to back it up. They managed to legalize prostitution in every state, and my guess is that they were behind the social acceptance of suicide as well. They had a neat little package – a niche in society that even the uptight moralites could wink at. After all, vampires weren’t really human any more, anyway – they didn’t reincarnate like the rest of us. Who cares what they did to their bodies. God wouldn’t be interested in their souls.
