Blood Moon (manxman)

Purple Leather

LAZARUS.

I found myself smiling and my heart racing as I watched my new neighbor walk away. I'm honestly so lucky to live right next to him. Although I'll admit, I probably should've taken things slower. No one falls in love with the whore who gives them a blowjob ten minutes after meeting, right?

I thought for a minute and stepped outside, seeing Dejen leaning against the wall on my porch, watching me.
"Dejen!" I nearly shouted, ushering him inside.
"Look, I have to go to work soon but I need you to call Andre and Raven immediately."

"Alright, whatever you say." Dejen rolled his eyes thinking I wouldn't notice and began dialing one of their numbers.

"You guys have...7-ish hours and I need you to make tonight the best party ever, please! You cook, obviously, and Raven and Andre can decorate. I need Montégo to love this."

"You're never this excited to party. That's cute, I hope he falls hopelessly in love with you." He smiled, laughing quietly and I just rolled his eyes and began walking upstairs,

"Just get them here ASAP, okay? I need their help with this, I'm desperate."

Dejen nodded and was calling Raven by the time I got to my room to get dressed.

I put on a purple leather harness that'd go around my chest and arms and I would undress to reveal at the party, and for underwear, I put on a soft purple thong with lace around the top that revealed my ass quite a lot, and then I put on some black thigh highs, connected to a purple leather garter belt that led to two leather straps around my waist. Then I covered everything with black scrubs and slipped on my white coat and adjusted the red pin on my chest that said 'Dr. Grando' in black with a small sticker of the progress pride flag and another sticker that read 'He/Him' in dark purple. I also put on the rainbow lanyard with my ID card.
My ID had my ID number, a barcode, a picture of me, and then my name, pronouns, and position.

Dr. Lazarus Grando Alilovic III
He/Him/His
Emergency Medicine Physician

I patted down my outfit and headed downstairs, greeting my housekeeper who seemingly just arrived,
"Andre! Thank you for coming so fast, please make tonight great. I need to impress someone..."

Andre smiled, revealing his crooked and slightly yellow teeth with defined canines. He wasn't a vampire; he was a shapeshifter. But I definitely felt safer living around and with other monsters than I would humans, regardless of what species they were, they'd understand what it's like to live a long life full of death and rejection. I've found that monsters were always kinder than humans.
Then I thought about Montégo.
Fuck. He's probably human, isn't he? Maybe I can turn him if our future together is more than just being neighbors who sometimes go down on each other.
I shook my thoughts off and pulled Andre into a side hug, kissing his cheek. He kissed mine as well before pulling away,
"Have a good day, Mr. Dr. Boss Man. We'll make this the best party ever!" He said confidently as I walked away, smiling despite not having so much hope.
What if Montégo expected something better than what they could put together? Not that they aren't amazing, but I have no idea what wonderful things he's experienced before.
"Pspsps..." I called out, hoping to lure my familiar, "Luis, I'm going to work!"

And Luis came running over, the black fluffy cat rubbing against my leg and looking at me with his gorgeous gold eyes. I quickly picked him up and hugged him, rubbing his back and making him purr,
"I love you, Lui. Have a good day, and don't bother Raven and Andre while they work! I know you like stepping in food while Dejen makes cooks, but don't do that, either!" I kissed his forehead and put him down, scratching his chin for a few moments before leaving.

As I stepped outside, I put on my sunglasses and my garage door opened. I would usually take my car to work, but today I guess I felt like showing off my real baby. I grabbed my keys and sat on a dark red and black electric motorcycle, putting on my black helmet with some dark red silhouettes of bats, then turned on the speakers to play music on my way to work. I glanced at Montégo's house and saw him sitting at a desk, looking out the window and staring at me with a light blush over his cheeks. That sight could practically make me shiver. Montégo was so cute when he blushed. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's an incubus too. But he's just really caught my eye, because incubi can't use their powers on one another. I do hope he's a monster though, even if the chances of that are extremely low.
We've been hunted for sport in the past, because humans couldn't believe we're capable of kindness and able to be gentle pacifists, so now we're not around much, and those of us who are live in hiding, pretending to be humans in a stupid discriminatory world.

I sighed, looking down and turning on my music before exiting my garage and heading to work.

When I got home I checked my watch and realized I was an entire hour late. To my own party! I'm a shitty host, but at least I have the whole lifesaver excuse. Work was exhausting, but still better than most days. The origins of energy vampires are complicated, so honestly? I think a lot of people are actually energy vampires. Even my own coworkers seemingly can't live without annoying everyone to death.

I looked around at my crowded house, hoping that by some miracle I'd see Montégo immediately. I didn't, so I shut the door behind me and took off my jacket, then my scrubs. I fit in much better wearing just lingerie and bondage gear. Many of the guests were mainly dressed in fetish gear, considering I was most well-known for my sex parties. I assume that Raven or Andre alerted everyone that this wasn't going to be a sex or BDSM party, because when there'd usually be orgies in my living room- there were just people talking, dancing, or kissing. Loving, but not fucking, thankfully. As I greeted my guests and looked at the gorgeous food Dejen put together, I walked through my house trying my best to find Montégo.
