"Hey! You're cheating, you bum!" Candy slapped Dakhan on his shin as she laughed and moved her game piece two spaces back on the board.
Dakhan grinned, showing his sharp canine teeth, "I'm not cheating. I just play better than you do." He moved his piece forward five spaces and leaned back against the head board, his arms crossed behind his head and a supercilious look on his face.
Candy glared at him and then studied the board, "Hmm... maybe if I move this one..." She sneaked a quick peek at Dakhan's face. His black eyes remained calm, his face a study in blankness. "No, I don't think I'll move that one." She reached for another game piece and flashed a look over at him again. No change. She tapped a finger on her chin. The gorgeous vampire would have made the perfect poker player, she thought. Quickly she darted a hand out to her last piece on the board. "I'll move this one!" She said triumphantly, parking it on the third square.
The bed creaked as Dakhan leaned forward. Long, black hair swung forward off his shoulders as he studied the game pattern. Then, with what seemed like no inner debate at all, he moved his piece and took hers off the board with a broadly arrogant smile.
"Check."
"Oooh, you're a rotter," Candy fumed, "And you're a dope too."
Dakhan's eyebrows rose. "Oh? And how do you come up with that? I've just beaten you twice at checkers." He rested against the head board again, this time with his arms crossed. "I'm winning. You're losing. You do the math." A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he fought to keep a straight face.
"Well," Candy remarked caustically, "You'd think that a guy who expected to get laid tonight would let his intended win at least once." Her chin rose in defiance. "That is, if he was smart enough he might get lucky, rather than find himself calling me a cab." Her blue eyes twinkled. She had no intentions at all of giving up her chance at this hunk. She suspected that he knew this as well, from the niggling little smile that he tried to hide, unsuccessfully at that.
With a sigh, Dakhan set up the board again, white on his side, black on hers. Once he had the pieces in place, he looked at her through narrowed eyes. "Shall we make it three out of three for me, or what? I'll even let you go first. Again."
"Don't you patronize me, you... you..."
"Bloodsucker?" Dakhan ventured.
"You..."
"Nightwalker?"
Candy swallowed a giggle, "You..."
"Demon of the night?"
"You..." Candy struggled to keep her face from showing her amusement.
"Sadistic vampire scum?"
Candy pulled her hand away from her mouth long enough to fire the worst thing she could say to him. "You man, you!"
Dakhan's hands flew to his chest, as if a mortal blow had staked him in the heart, eyes wide in feigned shock and he dropped on his back like a stone, hands clutching at his t-shirt. The checkers hopped off the board and skittered onto the rumpled bedspread. He moaned out his death throes piteously and then closed his eyes, letting one arm slither from his chest to land on the black and white checkerboard by his side.
Her case of the giggles escalated into furious laughter. "Can't take the insult?" She accused. "Am I killing you with the truth? Get up and play, you rat!"
He lay as still as death, his pretty, pale face like marble against the fan of his shiny black mane on the yellow flowered bedspread.
Candy pushed checkers off the bed and folded the board. She dropped it over the side and crawled closer to him. "No more boardgames," she announced, "I'm ready for games of another sort. Up and at 'em, tiger."
Her playmate didn't move a muscle, even when she tickled the bottom of his foot and then ran her hand up his jeaned leg. Not a twitch, not a blink, not even a sigh.
A touch of worry entered her voice when she knelt by his waist. "Are you okay? Dakhan? Honey?" She bounced him on the bed.
Dakhan's left arm slipped off his chest, but there wasn't a single sign of life.
"No, no, no, no," Candy's litany of woe moaned out as she frantically pawed at his t-shirt, feeling for a heartbeat. "You can't be dead!" Panicking when she couldn't find one, she bent close to allow his breath to whisper across her cheek.
In a blurry second, Dakhan's eyes flashed open, his arms wrapped around her and he rolled her underneath him, a devilish grin on his face. As she struggled and sputtered, he caught her chin with one hand and held her in place for a deep kiss. She went limp beneath him, all the fight worn out of her and then her hands felt their way to his back. She held on tightly, not wanting to ever let him go.
When he pulled away, his eyes as hot as a furnace, he purred, "I win again."
"No, you don't," Candy sighed, "I give up."
Dakhan ducked in for another kiss and there was a rap at the door.

Having followed the elegant lady, he stood outside the door waiting, as she had knocked on the door. If he didn't know any better, his were ears detected that there was in fact, people in that room

Dakhan froze when a voice sifted into his bedroom, faint but noticeable from the front door.
"Open the door! I know you're in there!"
He groaned and rolled off Candy, who glared at him.
"Who is that?" She asked pointedly. The voice was unmistakeably female.
"My sister and one of her 'friends,' I'll bet," the vampire informed her as he rose. "Dollars to doughnuts, she forgot her keys again."
Candy mumbled and crossed her arms over her chest, "Don't be long. My meter's running."
Dakhan smiled at her as he left the room. He muttered as he strode across the thickly carpetted floor. There, on the darkly lacquered bureau in the foyer, were Sayah's door keys and his own set. The keys to the Ferrari were missing.
"Shit," he cursed, "She drove Tony! I warned her about taking my car out again."
Flinging the door open, his tirade died on his lips when he saw Sayah posed in the doorway with a .... werewolf?!

Ben held his ground as the door flung open. He wasn't sure what he was going to be expecting, but a half naked man wasn't one of them. But this could only be the brother. Ben's nostrals flared when the door opened, and Ben caught the unmistakable scent of vampire. Inside, his werewolf growled, and it almost escaped his lips, but he just barely held it back. "Um..." he glanced back and forth between the siblings.

With a dismissive sniff, Dakhan slid his eyes from the were back to Sayah. She blinked at him. He gave her his fiercest glare.
"What were you doing with Tony?" He accused, his hands on his hips.
"I just took it out to go to the carnival," Sayah mumbled to her feet, her hair hiding her expression.
Dakhan wagged a finger at her, "I told you not to take Tony. Take your own car --" Sayah looked up quickly and almost spoke, but Dakhan interrupted her before she could start. "I'm not kidding," he shot, "It's not my fault that you ran into that bus! You're not going to do that to Tony." He swung away from the door and stalked off.
Sayah trotted in after him, "I'm sorry! Really, I am." She grabbed at his arm, "I won't do it again."
Suddenly, she remembered Ben, still standing in the doorway. Sliding her arm around Dakhan's, she circled him in place to face her new friend.
"Dakhan, this is Ben. I met him at the carnival," she announced proudly, "Ben, this is my brother, Dakhan."
"Pleased to meet you, I'm sure," Dakhan intoned wryly. "He's a were," he murmured to Sayah.
"I know," Sayah pronounced, "So are you going to be a bigot? Or can't I bring whoever I want home?"
"Ah, you can bring your guys back here any time," Dakhan said hurriedly, I do."
Sayah gave him a funny look.

Ben shifted uncomfortably as the two picked it out at each other about the car. His ears picked up the bit about being a were, and his were self shifted uncomfortably as well. "Pleased to meet you too.." he said softly. He felt that it would be better that he didn't speak much, to seem subordinate to everyone else, like were's were thought to be

Still holding Dakhan's arm, Sayah gave him a raised eyebrow. "You bring guys here too?" She winked at Ben, quickly returning a serious stare to her brother.
"Um, well," Dakhan's pretty black eyes flicked from his sister to the big werewolf waiting just inside the door. "I don't often bring men home at all."
Sayah grinned, "Not lately anyway." She slipped her arm from his and whirled about, heading for Dakhan's bedroom, with its half closed door.
The vampire stood rooted in place staring blankly at Ben until his eyes widened in horror.
"Geezus!" He shot as he spun about, "Candy, I---"
Sayah had already flung the door open and stepped inside. A startled squawk came from the room.

Ben figetted as the two continued with their bickering. But his eyes followed Sayah as she made her way into the apartment. He was silent until he heard Sayah squeal. He held back his reaction to run into the room. But recalling the words from Dakhan, 'Candy' he thought, Ben just figured Sayah had run into the lady

"Ah... hi," Sayah said softly as Candy glared at her from the bed. "I'm sorry to barge in on you..." Then the vampiress noticed the checker board. "You're playing checkers!?" She spun to stare at Dakhan, who had screeched to a halt just behind her. "Checkers?"
The blood that her brother had taken from Candy rose in his cheeks.
"Yeah, we were. Why? What's wrong with checkers?"
"You're not playing poker?" Sayah perched her hands on her hips.
It was painfully obvious when the idea hit her, because she turned a speculative eye to Ben. Dakhan winced. Sayah darted back to her 'friend' and grabbed his elbow, encouraging Ben to come along with her.
"Let's start a rousing game of poker," she enthused, "Maybe we'll even play strip poker!"

Ben's eyes went wide slightly, when Sayah grabbed him by the elbow, pulling him into the room also. He glanced at Dakhan, and then at Candy. He sat down on the edge of the bed, and pulled Sayah down next to her, putting an arm around her. "I guess a game of strip poker sounds like fun. But we're not going to spen the whole night in here with your brother now are we?" he asked softly, smiling
He kicked his shoes off, and tossed them over next to the door, where they landed side by side

Sayah simpered, "Of course not! But don't you think a nice game of poker would set the mood?"
Dakhan strode to his dresser and rummaged around in one of the drawers. Finally, with a happy grunt, he located his deck of cards. Sayah grinned at him when he settled himself on the bed, leaning against the headboard.
"So," he began, "Who's gonna deal?"

Ben watched him as he sat back against the headboard. "If you dont mind, i will" when no one objected, he took up the cards, and with the ease of an expert, he began to shuffle the cards.
Getting stuck in the sewers for most of his life, himself and all the others would get into lots of a games of poker and such, and he became a very good dealer and shuffler.
Soon enough, everyone had their cards, and the deck sat in the middle of everyone. To the left of Ben was Candy, who had cuddled up to Dakhan. "You first" he said in a mellow tone of voice

Sayah sat carefully at Ben's side, so as to avoid scattering the deck about, and picked up her hand.
"So," she grinned, "Exactly what kind of poker are we playing?"
Candy giggled as she surveyed her own hand, "How about strip? I think I've got at least a couple of socks worth here!"
Dakhan gave Ben a helpless glance and shrugged.

Ben searched his mind for about half a second. They all had five cards. "Five Card Draw? You can discard up to four at one time, and we can discard up to three times total?" He glanced around the circle.
Ben glanced over at Dakhan. "The one with the worst hand has to take an article of clothing. If they're a tie, all of the tying players must take an article of clothing off." he thought for another second.
"We should probably all get the same number of clothing on just to make it far" he glanced at Sayah with a smile
