Chapter 1

SOPV

"Yeah, right there, yes!" I call as Eric pounds into me, and I'm hoping this is finally it. He shudders above me and groans as he finds his climax. Shit. He looks at me with hope and I shake my head sheepishly as he rolls to his side of the bed with a loud groan of frustration.

"Dammit, what am I doing wrong?" he asks me in desperation. I sit up and take him into my arms.

"It's okay, sweetie, this kind of thing just happens sometimes," I explain, trying to console him by rubbing his back gently. He runs his hand through his hair in frustration and I feel even worse as he looks to me miserably.

"Do you still love me?" he asks and my heart breaks to have him even question my feelings for him. I take his face into my hands looking deep into the ocean blue pools of his eyes. Those same eyes I fell in love with all those years ago.

"Eric, you're my husband and I love you more than words can say, this is just something we'll have to work on, okay? It happens to plenty of women, you shouldn't blame yourself," I explain as I place a gentle kiss to his soft lips. He gives me a small smile and nods to me. He stands from the bed and I take in the view of his amazing body as he dresses for work, thankful once more that I have this spectacular man as my husband.

I follow him out to the kitchen and hand him his lunch pail as he kisses me goodbye. I watch him walk out to his pickup and wave to him through the window as he backs down the driveway, making his way to work on the Bon Temps Road Crew. I turn and pour myself a cup of coffee, plopping down to the kitchen table as I find myself deep in thought.

Eric and I were high school sweethearts, and each other's first everything. We married right after graduation and I looking back, I wouldn't have done things any differently. He's the man of my dreams and the love of my life. He's incredibly handsome and sweet and I have absolutely no complaints, well, almost none anyways.

Ever since the two of us started dating freshman year, the chemistry between us has been off the charts. Sex in high school was exciting and adventurous, between sexy romps in our cars parked out in the bayou and sneaking into each other's bedrooms after our parents were asleep, it was always incredible.

Even after we got married our sex life was near perfect. We christened every surface of our small house and he would often surprise me by showing up during his lunch hour for a hot quickie, it was like we just couldn't get enough of each other, until recently.

I don't know what happened with us. Try as I may, I just can't seem to find my satisfaction in our lovemaking anymore. It's beyond frustrating, and it kills me to know Eric somehow thinks it's his fault. I need to figure out a way to fix this before it causes problems with our marriage. A knock at the front door brings me out of my thoughts and I grin as I open the door for my best friend.

"You're just the girl I need to talk to," I tell her as I pull Amelia into a tight hug. We've been best friends since high school, and I can talk to her about literally anything.

"Oh, goody," she tells me with a giggle as I pour her a cup of coffee. "So, what did you need to talk to me about, please tell me you're pregnant," she pleads as I roll my eyes.

"God no, I don't even want to think about kids yet," I tell her with a sigh. We've had this conversation too many times already. She gives me a wide grin.

"You two would make the cutest little babies together," she says dreamily as I glare at her. "Fine, no babies, yet," she says with a grin, "What did you need to talk about then?"

"Well, we're having some issues in the bedroom, rather, I'm having some issues," I tell her raising a brow at her until she nods in understanding.

"So, no more fireworks," she says as I shake my head glumly. "That's not such a big deal, Sook; I mean every married couple goes through something like this. You just have to find something to bring back that spark," she tells me with a wink.

"Like what?" I ask eager for answers to this problem. She grins widely as her eyes sparkle with mischievous thoughts.

"Have you two ever tried using toys?" she asks as I wrinkle my nose and shake my head.

"So not interested," I tell her. I just can't imagine using something like that with Eric, and I really don't think he'd be too keen on the idea either.

"You could try role playing," she suggests as I look at her questioningly. "You know, like he could be the big, bad vampire and you're the helpless virgin damsel that he seduces with his fangs as he passionately ravishes your body," she says dramatically as I break out into a fit of giggles picturing my husband with fangs. Yeah, right.

"I wouldn't be able to do it, I'd be too busy laughing," I tell her through my giggles as she sighs and shakes her head.

"I thought you wanted my help," she tells me with a pout and I sober my laughter.

"You're right, I'm sorry, I just don't think I could do those things," I explain as a wide grin crosses her face. "What?" I ask her as she shakes her head.

"No, you wouldn't be able to handle it," she says, peaking my curiosity.

"Oh, come on Ames, just tell me. I'm desperate to fix this," I plead, batting my lashes at her as she sighs.

"Well, a while back Pam and I were dealing with a similar issue, and we brought a third person into the bedroom to play," she says, wiggling her eyebrows at me as I gasp in surprise.

"You did?" I ask as she nods solemnly. "And it worked for you guys?" I ask in surprise as she nods once more.

"Like a charm," she tells me with a grin. Could I do something like that? Would Eric want to try something like that? Who would we even ask to do something like that with us? My mind is spinning as Amelia waves her hands in my face, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Earth to Sook," she says with a grin. "It was just an idea, don't space out on me," she says playfully as I nod to her, but I can't stop thinking about what she said. I need to talk to Eric about this, to see what he would think about trying something so adventurous.

EPOV

I leave the house feeling frustrated once again. I can't understand why I can't seem to please my wife the way I used to. We've always had a great sex life and now, after four years of marriage, it's like we've hit a brick wall and I don't know what to do to fix it.

I mean I'm certainly not having any of the same issues she is, which makes me think I'm doing something wrong, even if she's assured me time and time again that it's just her. I hate knowing I'm leaving her unsatisfied over and over again. We need to fix this soon, I love my wife and I want her to be happy. I pull up to the job site and see Godric standing against his truck waiting for me.

"Another rough morning?" he asks as I nod and sigh loudly. I'm about to pour my guts to my best friend when Sookie's brother, and our supervisor, Jason approaches us.

"Talk later?" I ask as he nods to me. Jason gives us our jobs for the day and we quickly get to work as I try and push the troubles of my marriage to the back of my mind. The day goes by rather quickly as it usually does with this job, and before long, it's time for lunch. I wipe the sweat from my forehead as I make my way to my pickup and take out my lunch pail, seating myself on the open tailgate as Godric joins me.

"So, what's goin on? Trouble in paradise?" he asks with a chuckle. He always jokes that Sookie and I are a perfect match, and is convinced we live the life of a fifties sitcom couple. I shake my head and sigh and he looks to me in concern. "Hey, I was just kidding, what's up?"

"It's Sookie, she isn't well, you know, she can't, yeah, when we're together," I stumble out stupidly as his brows rise in surprise.

"Really?" he asks in genuine shock and I nod glumly. "Wow," he says softly, "That sucks, dude. What did she have to say about it?" I shrug.

"She says it just happens sometimes, that it's just something we have to work on," I explain lamely as he nods slowly. "But it was never like this before, we always had amazing sex together until recently," I tell him as he nods in understanding.

"Have you guys tried spicing things up a bit? You know, like role play or toys?" he asks as I glare at him. He just holds up his hands, chuckling. "Hey, a lot of couples go through similar circumstances and those kinds of things are supposed to help," he explains as I shake my head.

"I don't know, I don't want some toy taking my place," I tell him as he smirks at me. I punch him in the arm and he laughs heartily.

"Ow, okay! It was just a suggestion! So no toys, what about role playing then?" he asks as I wrinkle my nose.

"I don't know if I could get into it, honestly," I tell him as he smirks. "What?"

"Sorry, just picturing Sookie in her cheerleader outfit from high school," he tells me with a mischievous grin as I glare at him. He just chuckles, holding his hands up defensively and I have to shake my head and grin remembering Sookie jumping around on the football field with her red pom poms. Godric looks to me with a thoughtful expression then.

"Did you guys ever talk about maybe adding another person into the mix?" he asks as my jaw drops. Is he serious right now?

"Really?" I ask him as he gives me a solemn nod.

"I'm just throwing ideas out there, you'll have to talk to Sookie about what she wants to do, but it could be worth a shot," he says with a shrug as I think over what he's suggesting. Sookie is really close with Amelia and Pam, they might be willing to try something, plus their both pretty hot; this could be a win-win I think to myself with a grin.

"Yeah, I'll talk to Sookie tonight and see what we can come up with," I tell him as we finish the remainder of our lunch. "Thanks, man," I tell him, slapping him on the back as he grins.

"Anytime, you guys have been my best friends since high school, it's the least I could do," he says as we make our way back to the job site to finish out the rest of our day. As I'm shoveling gravel, my mind is wandering to the conversation I'll be having with my wife later.

Will she want to try anything as extreme as bringing in another person to the bedroom? Would she be willing to try something with another woman? Because just the thought of that is hot as fuck, and I'm grinning as I continue to shovel just picturing my wife with another woman. I'm really starting to hope she'd be into this.
