AN: This is the one-shot I did in 2009 so I thought instead of making you guys search for it I would repost it because I have decided to finally continue the story.
Disclaimer: I own Nothing.
It was the next night after Sookie's first visit to Fangtasia. All day Sookie couldn't stop thinking about Eric and what happened to his bar after the raid. That is why she was on her way to Fangtasia tonight, alone. She didn't see the need to bring Bill because he seemed uncomfortable around Eric. She didn't know what it was but there was something about Eric that made her feel alive inside and protected.
She left Bon Temps about an hour before sunset so as to make sure she arrived right at sunset and was first in line to get in. She also wanted to make sure to get as much time as she could with Eric and find out what it was that she was feeling. She didn't get these feelings with Bill. As she pulled into the parking lot of Fangtasia, she saw that there were already a couple of people waiting. She saw Pam opening the door to start checking IDs and decided to get out of her car. Meeting her gaze Pam motioned for her to come on in and follow her. "I'm here to see Eric, if he's here," Sookie said as they walked into the bar.
"He will be here later. You can wait for him here at this booth and I will have a waitress bring you a drink while you wait. He should only be about an hour or so," Pam replied.
"That will be fine. I will take a gin and tonic, please," Sookie said as she slipped into the booth to wait for Eric. She thought that she could listen into the few people that were there while she waited for Eric to show. Starting the process of lowering her shields, she noticed the waitress coming toward her. "I really don't see why she is so special to get the honor of sitting in his booth. One day he will pick me, and he will toss this whore to the curb." Showing no expression on her face when the girl arrived at the table and set the drink down, she said, "Thank you, I'm Sookie."
"I'm Vicky, and Pam said that I am to be at your service tonight; your personal waitress," Vicky replied.
"O...Okay," was Sookie's only response. She was not used to this kind of attention and she started to feel special.
"Is there anything I can get you while you wait for my Master?" Vicky asked.
'Master? I guess when you are as old as he is you are entitled to have a title as such. I hope he doesn't expect me to call him that, no way,' Sookie thought while the girl just stood there looking at her. "No. I'm good. Thank you though," she said and watched the girl walk back to the bar.
As she waited, Sookie continued to scan the bar by listening to the people there, still trying to find out who murdered the two girls back in Bon Temps to get her brother off the hook. But all she heard was thoughts of sex and blood. After two hours and another gin and tonic, Pam walked up to her and said, "The Master is here and wishes to first meet with you in his office." Standing up and following Pam to the back of the bar, she started to put up her shields but not before catching the thought of the other humans. 'She's almost here. I can do this. I have to do this, she's the reason my relationship is over with Susan. She will pay for taking her.' Turning her head in the direction she heard the thought, she saw a young male starting to pull a stake out of his coat. He was going to stake Pam, and she couldn't allow this. Sookie pushed passed Pam and jumped on the young man, knocking him over in the process. Pam, rushing over to see what the problem was, saw the stake then realized Sookie had saved her. Pam grabbed the young man and told Longshadow to take him to the basement for her to take care of later. After Sookie got to her feet, Pam continued leading her to Eric's office.
Eric heard the commotion outside in the bar and knew Pam would tell him what it was. Eric watched as Sookie walked into his office behind Pam., 'What is this girl? I get this strange feeling in my chest when I see her. She is not like any other. Her blood seems to be calling to me. I can tell she is still a virgin and no one has fed from her. I'm glad she didn't bring Bill tonight. She shows such bravery coming here alone. I will have her before the end of the night and I will know what is special about this little one,' Eric thought as he locked eyes with Sookie.
"It seems this little one has saved me yet again," Pam said to Eric as she motioned for Sookie to take a seat on the couch.
"Is that so? How did she do that?" Eric inquired.
"She ran passed me and jumped this guy that was going to stake me as we walked by him. She is quit the brave little girl," Pam replied.
"Impressive, and how did you know he was going to stake Pam, Sookie?" Eric asked.
"Well, I just read his thoughts, like I did last night with that officer. He was easy to read," Sookie responded while looking at her hands in her lap.
Rushing around his desk to kneel in front of her, he took his hand and lifted her chin to meet his gaze. "You have nothing to hide here little one. Don't be ashamed of your gift, it is a wonderful thing and truly amazing.
Smiling up at him and blushing, she responded, "You are so kind, but my whole life I have thought of my 'gift' as you call it as a curse. I have been called many bad names and beaten because of what I am. I am just happy that I could save you guys last night and Pam tonight. I like when I'm able to use my ability to help others." Realizing she was rambling, she blushed again and tried to look away but couldn't seem to take her eyes off Eric's amazing blue eyes.
"Well you have nothing to fear now my little one. I would like to make you an offer, if you don't mind staying a little longer? I know you've already been here two hours," Eric asked as he continued to gaze into her warm blue eyes, and saw just how special she was. 'I hope she will accept my offer, then that will give me more time to figure out what she is. She is more than just human, she is something else but what, I do not know. All I know is that I want her to be mine and be by my side for all eternity.'
"I don't mind at all. I wanted a chance to talk to you anyway, alone. That is why I didn't bring Bill," she replied.
Clearing her throat, Pam interrupted their little moment. "Is there anything else you need, Master, before I go and take care of the human that tried to kill me?" Pam asked with a disgusted look on her face.
"No, that is all for now Pam," Eric replied.
"Oh…he said the reason he was going to kill you was because you took Sarah away from him," Sookie said just as Pam was heading out of the office.
"Oh really, well she was already lost to him anyway when she came here," was Pam's only reply as she walked out the door, leaving Sookie and Eric alone in his office.
"Well, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Eric asked as he sat on the couch next to Sookie.
"Well…hmm…last night I had a strange feeling when I was sitting up on the stage next to you. I couldn't stop thinking about it today. I kept trying to figure it out but came to only one conclusion, and that was to come and talk to you about it." Sookie paused and looked over at Eric. When he just nodded, she continued, "Well, the only way I can really describe it was a feeling of belonging. I know it sounds strange, but it just felt right and…well… there is something else. I know this is going to sound weird, but I also felt a part of me come alive and also felt protected at the same time. I have never had these feelings, and, since I only seem to feel them here, I was wondering if you needed any more help? I currently work as a barmaid, so I know my way around a bar, and I could also listen into the minds of the other humans. You wouldn't have to pay me much, and I could move to Shreveport to be closer and maybe help during the day." She stopped as she looked at Eric to see his reaction to what she had just said and asked.
'She is truly amazing. Of course I want her to work in my bar, but she won't be a waitress. She will be treated with the respect she deserves, and I intend to treat her as my queen. Soon she will be mine and living in my home. I will then, in a few years time, turn her. I wonder if she will gain another power. I know she will retain her telepathy, and it will be enhanced,' Eric thought before responding, "I think we can work something out. I was going to offer you a job anyway, but not as a waitress. You are far more special than those other girls. I would like you to sit with me like you did last night and listen in. Also, if you don't mind, you are more than welcome to stay at my house until you find something of your own, or you can remain living with me. I have many guest rooms that are not being used, and you will be able to rest peacefully during the day. I only ask that if you do decide to stay with me that for payment you keep it clean. I will also pay you quit well for your work here at the bar." He paused to see if she was in agreement to this. When she just nodded he went on, "Also, I hope this is not too much to ask, I would like us to exchange blood every other night. This will help me better protect you, and it might even strengthen your telepathy. Also, it will protect you from another vampire trying to get you. Once you agree to this, no other vampire will be able to feed from you. We would create what we call a blood bond. It is uncommon for vampires to do this, but it is the best way of protecting you from others." Eric stopped, to let Sookie digest what he just asked her. 'I really hope she agrees to this. Once we exchange blood three times the bond will be formed and she will be MINE! I do plan to tell her all about what to expect once the bond is formed but I don't want to scare her away.'
'WOW! Is he for real? I have never had anyone want to treat me with so much respect. Living with him might not be so bad with him sleeping all day and up all night. I will be able to have peace to rest from the night's work at the bar and not have to worry about hearing people around me during the day. He really looks sexy in those black leather pants and the black tank top. His golden hair falling around his strong shoulders makes him look just that much sexier. What will it hurt to exchange blood if it's for my protection? I really don't want other vampires coming after me and draining me. Maybe with the increased strength I could defend myself and maybe control my telepathy more. It may even increase my ability,' Sookie mused silently to herself before answering, after thinking about it for a moment, "Okay, that doesn't sound so bad. I liked how it felt setting up there with you last night, and living with you would save me so much money. I could then save the money or spend it on new clothes for work. Also, exchanging blood doesn't sound all that bad, if it's for my protection, and it might help increase my telepathic ability. Do I need to sign a contract? I could start tonight; I've already been listening to the humans out there since I got here." Waiting for Eric to think it over, she thought, 'I hope he says yes. He is much better looking than Bill is and looks much stronger. He sure is treating me with a lot more respect. He also doesn't make me feel frightened of being with him like I feel when I'm around Bill. I also really need out of Bon Temps and away from those cruel people. I will miss Gran, Sam, Tara, Jason, and all my other friends. But they can always come and visit me at the bar and I can always go and visit Gran on Sundays. He has really strong arms; I wonder how it would feel to have them around me and his chest.'
Bringing her from her thoughts, Eric responded, "Of course we can start our deal tonight if that is what you want. As for a contract I could have my attorney fix one up and have it ready tomorrow for you to go over. You can also stay at my place tonight seeing as we don't close until 3 am, and I don't want you driving back to Bon Temps that late, and I know you will be tired. It would be too dangerous. Also, I would like for this to be the first time we exchange blood. We can do this before we go out and sit in our thrones." As he said this he moved closer to her and grabbed her hand. When she didn't pull away he wrapped his other arm around her waist and began to pull her on to his lap.
"Eric…" Sookie whispered feeling his arousal pressed against her core as she straddled him. 'Oh My God! He is huge. If we have sex, I hope it won't hurt. I can't believe I already want to have sex with him, and I've only known him for a day. All Bill ever wanted was to kiss even though I wanted more. Maybe Eric can give me what I have been craving.'
"Yes, my Sookie," Eric responded as he started to trail kisses down her jaw line and neck, alternating kisses and nipping. He released a small growl as Sookie moved her hands from his chest to wrap one around his neck and the other to his hair. Fisting her hand in his hair, she pulled him back and passionately placed her lips on his while moaning into his mouth. 'She tastes wonderful! I can taste the sunshine on her skin and her building arousal. She is so mine, MINE! Eric thought as he returned her kiss.'
"Be gentle, this is my first time," she moaned into his mouth. Eric moved his hands to her hips and slowly started moving them up under her shirt. Gently brushing his thumb across her nipples, he could feel her wetness through her shorts making him release a deep growl. 'God he feels so good. I want more, I need more of him,' Sookie thought as they broke their kiss for just a moment, while he lifted her shirt up over her head as she did the same with his. Eric moved his hand to her back to unfasten her bra and then removed it. Moving his lips from hers he placed one breast in his mouth while pinching and rubbing the other. She could feel his fangs brushing across her nipple as he sucked and nipped at her breast. She cried out, "Oh God, Eric!" He slowly moved his hand down to the top of her shorts. He started to unbutton them and then moved to the zipper. He shifted their position on the couch to where she was laying on her back now. He pulled her shorts the rest of the way off and realized that she was wearing only a thong. Smirking inside he thought, 'Oh my dear sweet Sookie you smell wonderful. I need you.'
He hooked a finger on the thong, and ripped it off her and tossed it across the room. Moving his hand down toward her core and slowly spreading her lips, he rubbed his thumb in slow circles around her clit while inserting two fingers. 'Oh so wet and I have not even begun to pleasure her. She will be screaming my name before this is over, and she will then be lost to all but me. My Sookie, My Lover, MINE!' Moving his fingers in and out, making her ready for his cock, he could tell she wanted more. With each thrust of his fingers she was thrusting her hips to meet him. Eric started kissing down her stomach, 'I have to taste her.' Without stopping his thrusts he started to lick her clit slowly. He could tell she was about to climax.
"Cum for me Sookie, I want to taste you." At that she released the biggest orgasm causing her to see sparkling lights. While she was coming down from her orgasm, Eric moved to take his pants off and once again place himself between her legs. Putting his cock at her entrance, he said, "This will only hurt for a few seconds, I promise, and then you will experience pleasure beyond your wildest dreams." With that, he slowly pushed his cock in, little by little, until he was all the way in and then didn't move, allowing her to adjust to his size before he started to thrust in and out. He could smell the blood, and that only fueled his lust that much more. Sookie moved her hips up to meet each thrust to move him deeper into her each time. They fell into a perfect rhythm as they were both wrapped up in the pleasure of it all. Sookie closed her eyes at how good he felt inside her.
"Oh Eric… Yes, more. I need more," she cried out.
With that, Eric started pounding into her faster and harder. "Look at me, Lover." Opening her eyes to meet his gaze, she felt a deep connection between them. It felt like they were meant for each other. It felt right. Eric could feel that she was close to another orgasm, but he wasn't done with her just yet. Shifting positions again to where she was sitting on his lap straddling him, he started kissing and nipping at her neck. "Bite me, my Lover." With that she bit into his shoulder as he bit into her neck. 'She's even better than I thought. I have never tasted anything like this before. What are you my lover? So sweet, more I need more. She tastes a little like fae, but I have had fairies before and they didn't taste like this. I wonder if she knows. She is so MINE!' Eric thought.
As Sookie bit hard into his shoulder she could taste his blood and was surprised that it didn't taste like copper or any kind of metal. 'Mmm, I never thought blood would taste this good. It is so sweet and hot. Nothing like the blood I had from Bill the other night when I was almost beat to death. I need more, I want more. I wonder if we can do this every night. If so, I think I'm going to like our little deal even more.'
After a few more thrusts, Sookie screamed out loud, "Oh God, Eric," and Eric responded by roaring her name as they both climaxed together. Eric just kept holding Sookie in his arms while he licked at the wound on her neck to heal it to where it was just light pink marks. Sookie laid her head on his shoulder while he did this, panting hard.
"That was amazing, I never knew sex would be that great, and when I drank your blood it seemed to make it even better. I love the taste of your blood. It is so sweet, unlike that of Bill's. His tasted bitter." She couldn't believe she wanted more already but thought maybe it would be better to wait till tomorrow night.
"I have to say the same about your blood. I have never tasted anything like it. We might have to change the deal regarding the blood exchanges," Eric replied
"What!?" Sookie was shocked. She was hoping he hadn't changed his mind about it, because she could do this every night.
"I think instead of every other night we should do this every night you work. When you start living with me we can do this before coming to the club. It will be more private that way, and we can take our time. For now we must get dressed and go out and enthrall the vermin," Eric said as he got up to get his pants and shirt back on.
"Okay, Oh I was going to ask how things went after the raid. Did you get into any trouble?" Sookie asked as she was putting her clothes back on.
"Nothing to worry about. As you can see, we are still open, and everything has been taken care of," Eric said giving her a small smile.
They both walked out to the bar, and all eyes watched them as Eric sat Sookie down in the chair to his right and then took his seat. As they got comfortable, Vicky came up, "Can I get you anything Master?"
"Nothing for me. However, please bring your new Mistress a gin and tonic," Eric told her.
Shocked by this, Sookie asked "Eric why are you having her call me Mistress?" 'I wonder why he said that. I'm nothing that special. Yet he did make me feel special and worshiped in his office.'
"As my lover, they will show you the same respect they show me. I want you by my side Sookie. I felt a deep connection between us in the office. One I have never felt for another. Now that I have it, I won't let it go. You will come and live with me and work by my side. I will show you all the respect you deserve." Eric responded while thinking, 'You are my Queen now, and I will never let you go. Soon I will turn you, and we will spend all eternity together. I will worship you every night and show you how much I love you and respect you.'
Feeling a little overwhelmed by what he confessed, Sookie said, "I felt the same connection. I'm going to need a little time to process this all. I have never had someone show me the respect and love you have. You made me feel special and worshiped. No one has ever done that." With that said, they fell into a comfortable silence.
Lowering her shields, Sookie began to listen to all the humans. The closer Vicky got the louder she was. 'If I knew he wouldn't kill me I would kill her right now. I only hope that he tires of her soon. He isn't even looking at me or anyone else anymore. Not since she came in last night. All he has done is watch her. Maybe I can put something in her drink and she wouldn't know it.' "Your drink Mistress, I hope it's to your liking. Master is there anything I can do for you?" She asked turning to Eric. 'Maybe she is not satisfying all his needs. Maybe he will pick me to feed and fuck tonight.'
"No, now be gone," Eric responded as he waved her off with his hand. 'Stupid vermin, I have found my mate, and I will only have her and no one else. None of them hold the beauty that Sookie does and I will not degrade her by fucking or feeding from another.'
After a few more moments of silence, Sookie spoke, "I don't like Vicky; she really hates me and is thinking of ways to get rid of me. I'm afraid to drink this. She was thinking about putting something in my drink as she brought it over. Also, I was wondering…." she said, biting her lower lip, "If I'm yours now and we are a couple, are you…going to be…you know…feeding and sleeping with others? I have heard that feeding and sex are the same for vampires; that you can't have one without the other. Is that true?"
"I will get rid of her. I do not want any harm to come to you. To answer your second concern, no I will not feed from or fuck anyone else besides you my love. None of these vermin hold any interest for me now that I have found you. Also, it is true that feeding and sex are the same, but only older vampires can control their lust. Younger vampires do not have the self control to feed without having sex or have sex without feeding." After saying this Eric got out his phone and sent a text message to Pam.
ERIC: I no longer want Vicky working here. She is trying to find ways to hurt or kill Sookie and I will not have that.
PAM: I will take care of it Master
ERIC: Oh and Pam…Please find a better replacement, one that will treat Sookie as they would me. She is now my mate and soon will be my bonded. Make sure that all staff refers to her as Mistress.
PAM: I am delighted you have finally found your mate Master.
The night progressed much the same. Nothing else happened. It was nearing 3am, and Sookie was starting to show signs of getting sleepy. Grabbing her hand Eric asked, "Are you ready to go see your new home?"
Sookie smiled up at him and replied, "Yes, I could really use some sleep. I have lots to do tomorrow."
With that they got up and headed to the back door. Once outside, they went to Eric's car. As Eric held the passenger door open for her, Sookie asked, "What about my car? How will I get back here during the day to get it so I can take care of my business in Bon Temps?"
"I will have my day man Bobby bring your car to my house tomorrow morning so it will be ready for you when you get up."
"Thank you. That will be great." With that said she got into his corvette, and he closed the door then got in the driver's seat.
Sookie stayed awake the whole way to Eric's house so she would know how to get back to the highway tomorrow. When they pulled up to his house Sookie was shocked, "You live here? This is so beautiful. I love it. There doesn't seem to be any neighbors, so I can truly have peace during the day. I won't have to worry about having my shields up all the time, even when I sleep. This is wonderful; I'm going to really enjoy living here. Thank you so much for letting me live with you."
"Think nothing of it. What is mine is yours. Please make yourself at home, and if there is anything you need please let me know and I will get it for you. Pam will be bringing food to put in the refrigerator after she finishes closing the bar. Come let me show you your new home," Eric said as he grabbed her hand.
After showing her the whole house, they ended in his bedroom as the last room to show her. It was a light-tight room with a large king size bed in the center. There was a large flat screen TV, a small kitchenette, and three other doors. "Where do they lead to?" Sookie asked pointing to the other doors.
"The one to your left is the bathroom, the other two are closets, one is mine and the other is currently empty. You may pick to sleep in any room of the house. However, I would like it if you picked to sleep with me, but I would understand if you are not comfortable with that," Eric replied as he went to sit on the bed to take off his shoes and clothes.
Blushing at his request and looking down at the floor, she replied, "I would like that. I feel more protected when I'm near you, and this house is really big. I like having the bathroom close by so I don't have to go searching for it. Do you have anything for me to sleep in? I'm really tired."
Eric got up and went over to his closet and handed her a red button up silk shirt. Sookie went into the bathroom to change and get ready for bed. When she stepped into the bathroom her jaw dropped. 'WOW! This is the largest bathroom I have ever seen. The tub looks like it can fit five people and the shower looks like it could fit three. I'm going to enjoy taking a shower in there.' There was a large whirlpool jet tub and a separate shower with floor to ceiling glass on two sides and shower heads on the other two walls and one coming from the ceiling. She got ready to take a shower and adjusted the water temperature and then got in. After her shower, she dried off and put on Eric's shirt and left the bathroom after brushing her hair. When she entered the bedroom, she noticed that Eric was sitting up with his back resting against the head board on the phone. Not wanting to interrupt him, she quietly climbed in on the other side and got under the blankets.
'Amazing, she looks really good in red. I will have to buy her more clothes in red. I love how my shirt hangs so well on her small frame. I would have joined her in the shower, but I did not want to push her too far, and I got a call from Bill asking about Sookie because he had not been able to find her all night. I will let her tell him about us, and then I will enjoy rubbing it in his face. She came to me willingly and yielded to me,' He thought while she was getting into bed. "I will be just a few more minutes my love," Eric told her as she settled into the covers.
"Take your time. I'm not going anywhere," Sookie replied smiling a true smile at him and moving closer.
After Eric finished the phone call, he moved down on the bed and pulled Sookie to him. "I am glad you are not going anywhere. This is really not like me. You and Pam are the only ones that have been to this house and the only ones I trust. I have never felt this way for another woman in all my 1,000 years and even in my human years. I love you, Sookie. I feel that I have truly found my mate. I want to share everything with you and have you with me always," Eric said as he hugged Sookie to his body, and could feel that connection they had was different than the blood bond they were forming. It felt as if his heart was whole.
"I love you too Eric." With that Sookie fell asleep feeling happy and content. She felt she could do anything as long as Eric would always be there by her side.
AN: Don't worry the next chapter is done and I am currently proof reading it and will be posting it real soon.
