North American Vampire Council & Past Calling (Hypernaturals 12 & 13)

Naked Reports

I am sitting in Vera's office at 'The Firehouse'. I just finished core dumping on her, and she listened closely to my tale of woe, leaning back in her chair. It was remarkably un-Vera-like.

When I was done, Vera shook her head slowly to register the news. "My lover, the Councilperson. I may need a drink. OK. Wow. So whenever you and I have a child, our little tykes daddy is a big shot now. Impressive. I am glad I slid in under the wire so you would know I just want you for you and not your station in life."

OK. That was Vera-like. "Yes. Well, rising tides. You, Vera, are the new Siren Liaison. The one and only one now. I am out of that business. You report to me about Sirens instead of to Victoria. All reports are to be in the nude and precede sex." I told her, adding the last as a joke.

I should know better than to use any kind of lurker humor like that on Vera. Dumb ass. "Sure. Fair enough. Expect many reports from the Succubus Sire Liaison. Many reports. I will need a nookie reward after having to sit with Larry and the Assembly clowns. Not counting Ginger and Wyatt of course. I mean: I still want the sex, but not because of them. That's just me being a SiroVamp Succubi."

Vera tapped her chest. "Only makes sense I am like this, you know. It was you and Morgan together that turned me and you two are this way. I'm just a chip off the old block."

I nodded at that. Vera is not wrong. It is also a matter of simple fact that, compared to our former time together as a human and a Siren, her sexual needs are much higher now, after her turn. I think that is part of being a Vampire. I suppose all the fictional Vampires running around and bopping humans at every opportunity came from somewhere. "Our theoretical child, perhaps conceived during one of your reports, is going to have two big shots as parents. Also, as a condition for being on Council, I get family leave. It was a stipulation, so I'll take care of our baby while you are running around being important. In fact, since my only out from Council-time is children, I may need to be thinking about a kid every year now. Given your current interest levels, should not be a problem."

"Ouch?" Vera said. "Touche. Also, me as the sole Liaison? Not the backdoor one I have been but the upfront, in their face, bodaciously female Liaison? I thought it had to be a dude for the out in the open, obvious-to-all, meet-with-Larry version."

"I get to run it how I see fit." I said evilly. "Victoria said I have Carte Blanche. I run it this way or she can take it away and kick me off Council. Boo Hoo. For me, I am done with it. I hated every minute of coming in here and pretending to be an asshole that hits on women at the drop of a hat."

"I'm reporting to you in the nude and before sex. No take-backs." Vera inserted.

"Not my point Vera. Since we uncovered that the Siren Assembly is both male and female, and after that last fiasco with them? The Siren lab and the plan to un-Vampire us? The fucking Sirens are now going to do the things Vampires want then to do or we turn them INTO Vampires. I am tired to my core about their 'boys will be boys' bullshit. It's how Alexander ended up such an asshole: The Ninovan's tolerated his bad behavior. I am done!"

"I get it. I know who you really are, Adrian. Always have, even if I did not always appreciate it. Still: Nude reports. Larry won't be there so you can act how you want to act. Hopefully, you will act how I want you to act. Like a horny boy who has not seen a naked lady in years." Vera said.

"Jesus pulling a little red wagon: it's like opening my mouth around Denise." I complained.

"Where she promptly sticks part of herself into your mouth. Male Vamp's are rare, and she was part of that, so I don't blame her for taking advantage of your sense of humor to get what she wants. Same here: Naked reports. Look at the bright side: Just me. No kitty or Leslie any more. Unless you want them there. I am sure they will oblige."
