Red Dragon

Excerpt:
Alexander took the half empty glass from him and nodded his approval. “Good. That proves you're not an alcoholic. In fact, I sense that you don't indulge in any of the usual vices. You don't do drugs, you don't smoke, you don't drink to excess. An ideal candidate.” He handed Michael a clear glass of water.
“Candidate for what?” Michael asked as he wiped the tears from his eyes and drained the glass to clear his throat.
“For membership in our little society should the need arise,” Alexander said smoothly.
“Wait a minute. I have not agreed to become a member of anything,” he replied. “What are you telling me?”
“If you should be injured during your explorations we want to be there to help you. If you should die it would be too late, of course, but if you live long enough to ask for it we can make you like us. You're young and full of life. There is courage and strength in you yet unspent, and the fire of your ancestry burns in your blood.” He sniffed the air expansively and added with a slight smile, “it is so strong that I can smell it.”
Michael shook his head. “Maybe I'm already dead and this is hell,” he said. “Or I'm having a really bad dream. You sound like the devil, tempting me with eternal life. Even if I could believe you, it's hard enough to accept that you're a vampire, but...”
“Shall I prove it to you?” Corvina asked. ”Then let me show you.”
He closed his eyes. A few moments later a beautiful long haired Chinese woman came out of the other room and approached him. She was dressed in a red and black satin brocade dress with a slit up the right side, revealing the smooth line of her thigh and leg. She appeared eager for whatever games Alexander had in mind, and she smiled as she rubbed up against him and kissed his rosy lips. “You called for me, my love?” she said, her voice a low purr.
“Yes, Mai-ling,” Alexander said. He returned her fondness with an equal measure. “Would you like to show my friend what he can have if he becomes one of us?”
With a shy smile, she pulled her hair away from her neck, opened her collar and bared two small pink spots on her throat near her pulse. “You may have whatever you need,” she said.
“Just a few drops, Mai-ling.” Corvina took her gently into his arms, opened his mouth and clamped his lips over the spots. She threw her head back and gasped, her whole body stiffening. Her face became soft and erotic as she clung to him, her breath coming harder with passion. She was clearly enjoying it. Michael watched feeling a little like the third wheel at first, but soon his body started to react. It was like something new he had not been told in biology class, and he had to work hard to will down the forbidden sensation tightening his loins. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and shaded his eyes quickly with his hands. “I've seen enough. Stop this!”
Alexander withdrew his teeth slowly and with reluctance, kisslicked Mai-ling's bleeding throat to heal it and released her. Mai-ling's breathing returned to normal, but when she opened her eyes she looked disappointed. It was a little like coitus interruptus. Apparently she wanted more. “You are not happy with me,” she complained quietly with a small frown, her generous lips pouting.
