Vampire Rising
Prologue
"Where are you, Eric?" Sookie questioned as she placed Hunter down for his nap. "I know you did not forget what day it is." She had been waiting on her husband for their weekly visit over Gran's House. It had become quite the routine ever since they were wed over two years ago. Thursdays had become a day of respite for Sookie and Eric, as it gave them an evening off and also gave Gran time to babysit ad fuss over their 10-month-old baby boy named Hunter.
"Love, I got held up in a last minute meeting, but I am on my way." Eric did not want to worry her with the reason for this meeting because he knew exactly what day it was, for he had been counting down the days that he could have her all to himself. He loved being a father. He loved Hunter more than life itself, but he simply just missed his wife. He missed the time they shared before having to worry about potty training, doctor's appointments, and things of that nature. He missed the freedom of being able to walk around naked in their own Garden of Eden, and tonight, he wanted to remind his Woman just how sinful they could be. She had already a taste of what was to come that morning, and he was all for making good on his promises.
As he drove into the long driveway, he became more and more uneasy about telling Sookie the reason for him being late, telling her that he had to fly to New Orleans first thing in the morning was not going to be an easy task. He walked towards the door, and when he saw his beloved run out to meet him, he decided that this pertinent information was going to have to wait a few more hours, for he just wanted to be with her without the risk of ruining their night regarding their imminent separation. This was their time. Little did he know that this separation was not only imminent but also permanent.
