A/N: This is the third part of this story. You can read the previous parts here.
The distant sound of a bell echoed in the dark. Three vibrating tolls revealed the late hour. The sound traveled through the night and the silent stone wall, illumined by a lonely street lamp, was the only witness to the dark silhouette moving in its shadow. With the collar of his dark coat pulled tightly around his neck, Richard’s tall figure covered distance quickly, and he set his target on one of the few areas where he still could find a suitable prey. The lively streets in the city center.
Summary: Sofia is torn between her strong feelings for Matthew and the raw attraction Richard awakes in her. Unaware of the dark desires that hide behind their well-groomed appearance, she longs for something more than their company.

A/N: Not following ADOW canon, just two hot interesting male characters being brothers.
”You should go inside.” Richard’s voice sounded restrained, and in the unusual moonlight that fell on the small balcony, Sofia could see how tense his jaw was. The raw stubble on his cheeks made his handsome face harder, and the veins running on the side of his neck were more visible than before. When he met her gaze, his eyes appeared darker so that they reflected the light of the moon. He let go of her wrist, and when she didn’t immediately leave him, he slowly repeated his words. His piercing gaze made her hold her breath, and he crooked his head slightly. ”Unless you don’t…” his voice faded to a hoarse whisper and then died on his lips.
Sofia didn’t understand his reaction, but something in his eyes told her that she should leave him alone. She didn’t feel rejected, nor had she rejected him. Something dark and possibly even dangerous lurked in the depth of his eyes, and it called to her against her better judgment. When she opened the glass door to the living room, the sound of his dark groan followed her inside.
Oh, give me two vampires like that wonderful predatory vibes coming off this story and it’s hot As always, I loved the description of the senses and I love the ending, Richard the vampire hunting in the night with a blood moon in the sky

Reblogging for the history. Nothing else. Seriously tho’ - thank you as always @a-discovery-of-fashion
Serious question on the flies - weren’t they just a flap of material? I thank all that is holy (daily) that they didn’t time walk further back to the cod-piece fashion!
Yes, just a flap held up with buttons. Oops, on further inspection there appear to be ties done up in little bows, not buttons.
Jerkin: black leather jerkin with star and heart punched designs and black leather buttons; I believe the sleeves are separate and attached with ties under the armpit
Note: It was based on a surviving example now in the Museum of London.
Edit to add: Janet Arnold’s Patterns of Fashion: The Cut and Construction of Clothes for Men and Women c1560-1620 has a pattern for the Jerkin. It is listed in the book as “c.1560 Youth’s Leather Jerkin.”
