The Guttersnipe's Gift

Don't Read in the Closet Events seriesNext:The Satyr's Lament(2011) →

Dear Santa,

This pretty little, vampy, goth boy has been haunting me for over a year and I'd really like to hear his story. He looks like he's just been rode hard or maybe is waiting to be rode hard or perhaps, just finished his last human meal and is enjoying a nice glass of his dead mate's blood. Oh Santa-baby, I know he doesn't look too Christmasy but can you help me put the poor baby to rest (at least in my head)?

This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Stuff My Stocking"event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.
