the Eclipse

"Well all right then, the Eclipse it is." Marcio said, swerving the car into a sharp right and then hitting the gas. Traffic was heavy tonight, but he weaved expertly in between the other vehicles and they made it to the club in record time.

Parking along the curb just far enough from the entrance to avoid the attention of the valets, they both took a few moments to survey the scene. The place looked busy, with a line spilling out a long ways down the sidewalk, but Marcio knew from experience only a fraction would be allowed inside. The Eclipse prided itself on being exclusive, and while he himself and anyone he was with never had any trouble at the door, he understood why Rodney disliked it. Honestly, he was the kind of man who considered 'dressing up' to be wearing his one pair of jeans without rips in it. You couldn't take him anywhere.

As though to prove his earlier point, the bouncer at the door was now in the process of forcibly evicting a group of disappointed twenty-somethings. One in particular caught his eye; or rather, her legs did. She wore very, very short denim cutoffs and white heels that displayed them amazingly well. Taller than average, her smooth, taut skin fairly glowed with a healthy golden tan that nicely complimented her long chestnut hair. The woman glared at the club and then started walking away in a huff, by a stroke of luck taking a path that would lead her directly past them.

He caught his friend's eye and nodded at the woman. Rodney glanced her way and let out a low, appreciative whistle.

"Now now, I saw her first," Marcio cautioned.

Rod only chortled in response. "What, you never heard of sharing?"

Marcio shook his head. "Look, don't get me wrong, I'm a generous man, but do remember that little talk we had about keeping a low profile."

"Yeah yeah...what's your point?"

"The POINT is that while I don't mind sharing her in bed, when it comes time to feed you're going to be on your own. The two of us together would wind up taking too much, and we can't risk killing another one."

"Okay, I get it." Rodney said, then shrugged. "Look, it's no big deal. We'll both fuck her silly and then I'll scout around for a quick bite while you finish up and make her forget the whole thing. Not a problem."

Marcio hesitated. It's not that he doubted Rodney's intentions, but the fact was that feeding and sex were so closely tied together that he didn't know whether his friend would be able to restrain himself once he reached that point. Even he himself had trouble, sometimes.

He glanced at the woman, who was quickly getting closer. He hated to just let her go, but maybe it would be better to check out the prospects inside and try to find someone for each of them. Then again, if they shared the girl and something went wrong, it wasn't THAT big a deal, was it? What was another human, more or less? Sure, they were trying not to attract attention, but you just had to take a chance sometimes, and he could see Rod wanted her as much as he did...
