The Glamouring

Bill went missing and she had to find him. The only reason she was here with Eric was because he promised to help her find Bill. Her heart was aching from the thought he could be in danger..."Oh, Bill, Just be patient my love" Sookie said to herself and walked in the bar alongside the one person she hated the most, the selfish, arrogant, heartless vampire that had killed her cousin.

She noticed the admiring faces turning at Eric. She had reacted the same way when she first saw him two years ago. A six foot five tall, broad shouldered blonde vampire with sky blue eyes couldn't go unnoticed easily she agreed unwillingly. They headed towards the table that was reserved for them. When just about to take their seats, an elegantly dressed vampire stood on their way. Eric slightly pushed her away and the two vampires started staring at each other without saying a word. The intruder nodded at the crowd towards somebody and all of a sudden the music stopped and they were surrounded in a circle by what seemed to Sookie an army of vampires. She felt a little scared, but Eric was not showing the slightest sign of fear.

"Hi Eric, it is nice to see you again. You haven't visited us here for what feels like a century now" the other vampire broke the silence first. He was well build, with dark hair and brown eyes and slightly darker skin. He was good looking Sookie thought, but something in his eyes made her hair rise and she moved a step closer to Eric unconsciously.

"Good evening Your Majesty" Eric said "It is my pleasure. I have urgent matters I need to address and I am grateful for your invitation.

"No problem Eric. I see you have brought me a present too" and the vampire turned towards Sookie without hiding the lust in his eyes. "She is marvellous looking. Where did you find such a treasure?"

Sookie noticed how Eric's body got a defensive position and his fangs slightly extended.

"She is not part of the bargain Your Majesty. I can find you a better one if that is what you desire"

"I like this one" The King said in a manner that made Sookie get cold chills all over her body. He kept shamelessly scanning her from top to bottom.

"No" Eric said so firmly that drew the entire King's attention back towards him. "She is here with me to relief me of my needs. She is my lover" Sookie nearly jumped two feet high when she heard Eric saying she was his lover. Anger ran through her face and her eyes shined with disgust. She was just about to say something in protest when Eric pierced her with his blue eyes trying to tell her to stay quiet. And she did. She was going to deal with him and his vulgar behaviour later. Now she had to concentrate and remember she was here for Bill, and she would do whatever it takes to get him back in her life.

Sookie's reaction didn't go unnoticed by the King. She was trembling with anger and disgust, not what you would expect from one of Eric's lovers. He had unwillingly heard the living legends about Eric's abilities in bed. And it fascinated him that the woman standing next to Eric obviously wasn't sharing the same opinion.

His own sister admitted to him once in a moment of weakness that Eric was the best lover she ever had and she wanted him back. One thing he knew for sure about Eric, it definitely wasn't common to see him with a human in a public place.

"Hmm, there is something very interesting about her" the King thought. "Maybe she isn't entirely human" it dawned at him. He wasn't quite sure what she was but it got his full attention. "Wow, look at her" the King could not stop admiring at what he was seeing. "She is definitely worth more than one session of sex" he continued to think silently. He had agreed with Eric to help him release Bill. He couldn't understand why was Eric paying a million for a vampire he didn't even like. "If it was me, I would pay the money to kill Bill" He looked again at the human next to Eric. "And I am intending to have some fun tonight" The woman was striking looking, with blonde hair and green eyes, and lips to die for."If she doesn't want Eric, I'll have her" the King thought and licked his own lips. He decided to offer a discount of a hundred thousand from the price but there was something in Eric's eyes that told him not to even try to bargain any further.

" Ok, change of tactics" he thought and felt full of excitement of the idea that just ran through his mind. He knew that by law it was the human's choice to stay with a vampire and they were free to leave the relationship anytime they wanted. But the law never really worked for him, because glamouring someone else's human was allowed in very special circumstances. As a King of all vampires, he had the privilege to glamour the humans of his subjects and have them for a night of passion. The idea of doing this to Eric's lover was thrilling him. He grinned with pleasure thinking of what Eric's face would look like while he was fucking his lover to exhaustion under his nose. Eric would have no choice, these are the laws and he must obey or he would die.

"I am King Pedro De La Vega, it is a pleasure to meet you, darling" The king said nailing Sookie with his eyes and putting in action all his glamour abilities trained for centuries.

"Please come closer my child. I would love to personally be able to admire the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You will be safe with me. It won't take long and am sure your lover wouldn't mind me taking you from him for a little while" and he winked at Eric who had already grasped at the King's intentions. Eric felt Sookie grabbing his hand and a warm feeling ran through his spine from the touch of her little soft fingers. He couldn't remember ever being so close to her before, but it felt good. Whatever the King's intentions were, he knew he would not let him whatever the cost. This was not his plan.

"I am Sookie Stackhouse, Your Majesty" Sookie introduced herself, and slightly bowed at him. Sookie's heart started racing in her chest. She realized she was standing in front of the most powerful vampire in the Kingdom of Vampires. He was more powerful than the Queen, his natural sister from their human life. And rumours had it that becoming vampires never broke their human bond and they trusted each other with their lives.

"I am really honoured by your offer Your Majesty" Sookie followed showing a set of sparkling white teeth. The King's mind was bursting with relief. "It wasn't that difficult to glamour her" he thought. "Isn't it great to be the King" and he felt his arousal thinking how he would fuck her senseless unit she begs him to stop.

"But I am afraid I didn't come here to entertain myself. Eric and I were just going to have a drink and then going to bed" Sookie proceeded.

Suddenly all the bar and everyone in it went deadly silent. Sookie could feel the eyes of every human or vampire staring at her with disbelief. The King's eyes opened twice as much. Did he hear what he just heard? Why wasn't he able to glamour her? Why wasn't she glamoured?

"Hmm, interesting" The King said calmly and turned to Eric who looked quite astonished too. Never in the whole written and unwritten history was a human able to resist the glamouring of a vampire.

No one was daring to say a word and all the eyes turned slowly from Sookie towards the King.

"I think I am starting to like you even more Sookie Stackhouse" The King said. "You are one of a kind" And looked at Eric not hiding the surprise in this face.

Sookie felt the tension of many eyes staring. She knew that the King had just tried to glamour her, but she never knew she was not susceptible to it. Bill never tried, he didn't need to, she thought. "At least one good thing to come out of my telepathic curse" she sighed and pulled her hand from Eric's realizing all of a sudden she was holding it all this time.

"Well, well, Eric, what a little lover you have. Maybe you can show us all how a human of this kind has to be handled..." Sookie could swear she could see little flames playfully dancing in the King's eyes. The King's words were somewhat slowly but surely entering her mind. "Where was he heading?" Sookie was wondering.

"You must admit Eric that you owe us a demonstration of your special abilities in public. Sookie surely won't mind. She is your lover. Didn't I hear you say so a little earlier?" The King was looking at Eric with two raised eyebrows and an ironic expression on his face.

Sookie's heart nearly sank in her feet. The King wanted Eric to claim her in front of everybody in the bar. She started trembling with resent from the thought of Eric touching her. She hated him so much that she knew it would make her sick to the bones. Asking Eric to help her was against all her beliefs, only that she had had no other choice. But the King looked quite serious and she glanced at Eric who still wasn't showing any sign of reaction on his face. She wondered sometimes how he managed not to have any emotions, but she wasn't surprised. Eric was stone hearted. He couldn't feel...Maybe that's why he managed to survive over a thousand years in the cruel vampire world which made him one of the oldest creatures on Earth.

"A deal is a deal Eric. I had a little fun bargaining it. Now let's see if what you were saying is true and I promise you two a wonderful night afterwards. You don't have to go all the way, just a little teasing" the King said.

Sookie could feel how a hard ball of pressure was building inside her chest. Whatever the King wanted Eric to do, wasn't looking like something she would enjoy at all. She reminded herself it was all for Bill and a sense of relief ran through her body. She felt Eric stepping closer...too close to her likings. She panicked, she wanted to run. But it was too late...

Eric looked her in the eyes, took her head gently with both his hands and kissed her. She could feel her upper lip slightly pulled when his soft tongue slowly entered her mouth and started dancing in a way that made her respond immediately. Boy, could he kiss...She certainly didn't expect that. She felt a hot wave piercing from top of her head to the tips of her toe nails and the sensation made her lose control of her mind and body. She was astonished by the pleasure she was experiencing at this very moment and Bill, her engagement to him, the love words they had exchanged and all the reality just drifted far away as they never existed... She felt Eric's hands covering every inch of her back and pressing her closer towards him like he wanted to squeeze out all the juice she had inside her. She unwillingly noticed her hands responding and wrapping around his waist. It all felt strangely familiar, like she had felt his body like this before. She could feel him getting so hard and pulsating against her that for a second she thought the clothes could not stop him from entering her, and she felt in horror...she wanted it...

"Eric, stop", she heard herself saying and slightly pulled away from him. She realized he had his eyes opened all this time looking at her. Her mind was racing furiously in her head. Did she just enjoy kissing Eric? She took two steps back. Eric was standing in all his six foot five glory in front of her. She could see the arousal in his jeans and she couldn't help thinking that what was inside them looked quite significant as far as her imagination could go.

She looked around and all of the vampires were staring at them, but keeping distance. She could see the amusement in their eyes. Eric was over 1000 years old and everyone seemed to admire him for a reason she wasn't quite sure she wanted to know.

The King looked at them for another few moments with a serious expression on his face. "I will have her one day, whatever it takes" he whispered and disappeared into the crowd.

The bar filled with music and dancing just like nothing had happened.

"Sookie that was truly amazing", she heard Eric saying. "What a pity it ended" and she could see him grinning in a way only Eric could. She couldn't avoid noticing the satisfaction on his face and it made her realize what she just did. She wanted to sink into the ground. She wanted every little part of what just happened to disappear without a trace. She was engaged. She loved Bill. She could not and should not have let something like this happen. "What were you thinking Sookie?" She jumped another few steps away from Eric and felt proud of herself for doing so.

"Enough playing games" she growled. "I have to find Bill. I love him and I would do anything for him, even if that involves kissing you. Well, I have to admit it wasn't as bad as I thought, but it meant nothing to me" She was trying to sound as confident as she could, but her voice was not obeying. She could feel his eyes burning through her, maybe trying to find out if she was telling the truth, and the tension made her turn away and look at a non-existent spot somewhere in the space to the right of his shoulder. I love Bill" she repeated as if she wasn't sure she was convincing enough the first time. Eric was still looking at her but his face turned motionless like there was a stone mask on it.

"Eric, do you mind getting me a Jin and Tonic, please". She decided changing the subject was the best thing to do.

"And I wouldn't mind if it is a double", she thought to herself. She needed to get rid of her current state of mind. "Why did one simple kiss with a man she hated stir her otherwise self controlled world so badly?"

"Of course my lover" Eric said and the corner of his lips slightly turned upwards creating an amused expression on his face.

"I am not your lover Eric Northman and I will never be, so get rid of this impossible idea"

"It is not just an idea Sookie. And impossible is a word I have erased from my dictionary" Eric smiled mysteriously and walked away to the bar.

She could feel anger building up inside her. What did he mean by that? "You big, blonde, arrogant vampire" she said to herself. "I am not one of your female toys" She shook her head and felt she had to remind herself that someone like him can never keep interest in a human for too long. He will forget about all this by tomorrow, she was certain about it. It was part of who he was. ..

" Bill, my Bill", she whispered. He is not like Eric. He cared about her deeply as a person, although the sex was great too. He loved her and was willing to sacrifice his vampire way of living for her. "Oh, Bill, I miss you"

Eric was walking towards her with the Jin and Tonic after what seemed to her like a decade. She thought he looked unhappy, but decided to ignore it. Eric could not feel, he was self centered, he couldn't experience emotions of love, sadness, happiness and disappointment in the true meaning of them. Maybe just lust she thought, remembering the countless times seeing women desperately trying to get his attention.

"Here Sookie, I got you a double so you don't get the chance to use me as a waiter too soon, not that I mind" He laughed.

Sookie got annoyed for a moment. "Why did he always seem to guess what she wanted?"

"I can pretend to be your personal servant all night Sookie, if it will make you feel better" Eric was scanning her face..

"Drop it Eric!" Sookie said with her eyes bursting in flames. She certainly would love to be able to torture him a little, or maybe more than a little. Exactly the way he tortured Lafayette... And she could feel the blood rising to her head from the horrible memory of his death.

"Thanks for the drink. Can we get to business now? She said with a serious face like she never heard his last words.

"Were you able to find out anything about Bill? Sookie said and her body straightened in a still motionless position.

She looked at him with her big green eyes and Eric felt he wanted to sink into them. She looked beautiful. She was wearing a yellow simple t-shirt over her jeans but it made her eyes look awkwardly green. He noticed there wasn't even a slight bit of any other colour in them. They were perfectly green, exactly like the grass in the garden of his castle he remembered from the time when he was still a human. A flush of long lost memories ran through his mind. If he wasn't a vampire he would think he was sweating. He looked at her full lips. They were naturally red and he could still sense the intoxicating taste from kissing them. He sneaked a glance at her breasts and regretted he didn't try to touch them when he had the chance. He could nearly swear she had no bra under the t-shirt, even though the view looked too perfect to be true. He was finding it hard to concentrate and this was annoying him. Her question penetrated his mind with a few moments delay. She was asking him about Bill...

"Sookie, Bill is back" Eric said with firm voice while still not able to look away from her. He could notice how her face lit with happiness and he felt a little irritated without fully realizing why her eagerness to see Bill bothered him so much.

"Bill made a deal with the Queen and he was prohibited from telling anyone about it, this obviously included you too. " He didn't want to lie to her, but he felt it wasn't the moment now for what he really wanted to say.

"The Queen personally called me a few minutes ago to tell me he completed his tasks successfully and as a gesture of gratitude she allows him to marry his human, who I presume is you?" He lifted his eyebrow and lowered his face when saying it, looking her straight into the eyes. It made Sookie feel thousands of pins pressing against her skin.

"Yes, Eric, we got engaged just before he disappeared. Everything happened so quick that we didn't have the chance to tell anyone. I am so worried. When will I see him Eric? Is he going to come here soon?" He saw the impatience and desperation in her eyes.

"He is on his way and should be here any moment now" Eric said trying to stop his hand from landing over hers in an overwhelming desire to make her feel better. He was relieved she didn't notice.

The news about Bill marrying Sookie were hardly sinking easily though. He never had the intention to find Bill. But she came to him two days ago. He hadn't seen her in over a year since Long Shadow killed her cousin Lafayette. She never let him tell her exactly what happened. She was so angry that night that he thought she would jump out of her skin. Bill was trying to calm her down and although a vampire, he could not hold on to her. She managed to release herself from Bill and slap him across the face. He remembered he could not react. Something in her eyes told him to let go. He didn't think he would see her again...

"Sookie, Bill is..." Eric said. Bill was standing at the door with a furious expression on his face. He wasn't even able to finish the sentence. Sookie had run to Bill already. He saw Bill picking her up like a feather and walking through the door into the dark of the night.

Eric felt a big emptiness growing inside his chest. He wasn't sure what it meant. And he didn't like it.

He could probably understand why Bill was in a hurry to take Sookie away from this place. The gossip around here was travelling with lightning speed and even Bill knew that if Sookie was susceptible to glamour no one was ever able to save her from the grip of the King. And kissing Sookie wasn't a choice that he made himself, although he enjoyed it more than he would like to admit to himself.

He didn't expect Bill to be grateful for saving him too. Bill didn't know he paid a ransom to the King to convince the Queen to release him from his obligations, but he didn't think Bill would go that far, marriage...The news ruined his plans a bit, but he'll get over it.

When Sookie came for help, he really tried hard to say no but it never came out of his mouth for some reason. She reminded him about someone else many years ago, but he wasn't quite sure why. He just needed to know and that was his chance.

Eric turned away from the door once the shadows of Bill and Sookie disappeared. He looked around himself scanning the crowd and his eyes stopped at a brunette dressed in an appealing leopard dress. She was quite good looking he noted, and he surely needed to release the tension in his pants. It nearly started to make him ache. He must have been aroused to almost an orgasm state when kissing Sookie, he thought, and that surprised him a little.

The brunette was already rising from her seat. She had been sitting with two other vampires that were looking quite impressive themselves, but she seemingly didn't care about leaving them one bit. She was willing to be with him. He could almost read women's minds sometimes he thought while smiling at her in an irresistible way. He nodded and she did not wait for another invitation. He had rented an apartment on the 21stth floor of the vampire hotel. She started kissing him on the way to the elevator and once the door was shut, Eric turned her back towards him and tore the short dress from her body along with the underwear. He had to fuck her and he had to do it now. He grabbed her by the shoulders, pushed her towards the wall and entered from behind at once. He could feel the tension in his penis and he wanted to release it. He was thrusting in her with all the fury that had built up for the last hour. He lowered his right hand towards her intimate area while still massaging her breasts with the other. Contrary to his aggressive moves inside her, he slowly licked her neck and ears, leaving her with a burning trail of pleasure. He reached her lips from the side and his skilled fingers started working on her clitoritis. He could hear her heavy breathing and felt the hardened from arousal front wall of her vagina. He slightly repositioned himself to be able to fully press his penis against what was a woman's most sensible spot. It didn't take too long after that, she exploded in multiple orgasms screaming with pleasure in an inhuman voice. He came soon after her. And all he could feel was relief.

He threw his jacket over the naked brunette's shoulders and laughed at her watching her trying to walk normally. He had enough too for the night he thought and didn't mind when he saw her falling asleep on the bed. He put a note of a 1000 quid next to the clock on the press to compensate her for the thorn clothes and walked into his own bedroom locking the door behind himself.

Sookie was in a castle with high stone walls surrounding an enormous green fields and forests. She was sitting near a lake and she could see the fish playing. Her legs were half covered in water and her white thin dress was waving from the light breeze. She felt a warm kiss on her neck and two strong hands hugging her around the shoulders. She rolled backwards laughing and sprinkling as much water as she could with her legs, falling on the grass behind her. Two sky blue eyes looked at her and she felt a gentle kiss on her mouth. Eric, she gasped...I love...Sookie woke up covered in sweat. The dream was so vivid it scared her. She stretched her hand and touched the other side of the bed. It was cold. Bill was gone to his sleeping place. He never stayed with her in bed after sun rise although she had put special windows and insulated her whole house for him from the light during the day. She reached the remote control and pressed the button. The sunshine slowly came through the windows.

Sookie jumped. It was nearly 4 pm. She needed to go and buy a few things for the evening. Bill had told her they were going to celebrate their engagement and she wanted to look beautiful for him. Most of her clothes were t-shirts, jeans and shorts and she could hardly wear any of these tonight. Bill had organized a party at Fangtasia, the only vampire-human friendly bar in the area. She wasn't really happy about it, but Bill insisted it would be best for all. She sighed. There weren't too many places where humans, vampires and shifters could mix together and still feel comfortable.

She called Tara. She was not sure what she wanted to wear and she needed someone to help her. Tara always spoke her mind and she could rely on her opinion, although her sharp tongue didn't have limits sometimes, Sookie laughed.

"Tara, Bill is back"

"Good for him" Tara said sarcastically. "How does his comeback have anything to do with me?"

"We got engaged Tara and we are going to celebrate tonight" Sookie could nearly hear Tara's jaw dropping over the phone.

"Sorry, Sookie, I think I am hearing voices. What did you just say?"

"You are hearing my voice, Tara" Sookie said seriously. "We got engaged just before Bill disappeared. Sorry for not telling you, but I was too upset with Bill's disappearance to talk about it. He offered to marry me and I said yes."

"And how do you know you love him, Sookie? You don't have to get married to the first men you slept in your life with. If I had followed your example and got married to the shifter who took my virginity, I would have had a Collie for a husband and given birth to a bunch of Jack Russell terriers or whatever they would have wanted to be. I could have opened my own dog pound" Tara laughed.

"Tara, stop. I don't have to be reminded that I can never have children with Bill. But you know how torturing to me is to be with a human" Sookie said somewhat defensively with her voice trembling "I can't spend my life with a human that I would be able to hear talking even in their sleep. I need silence Tara. I am exhausted at hearing everyone's thoughts, problems and dirty desires. Bill gives me that silence and the sex is great"

"I am sorry Sookie. I just want you to be happy. And if Bill makes you happy, then I am ok with it. I'll come and pick you up in half an hour and go get you something decent to wear tonight."

It was dusk already. Sookie had a warm long shower and she felt ready to prepare for the nights. She wasn't sure how to wear her hair. She always had it tight, but she felt it would be nice
