I stared at his lovely face, it was so peaceful as he slept and that was something I can only be thankful for. Eric had killed Victor Madden and defeated Felipe, he now was king of Louisiana and I was living in the dead queens old palace alongside him. Some how this viking has wormed his way into my heart and I find that I don't want him to ever leave.
I sigh as I try to disentangle myself from his vice like grip and tend to my human needs, when I finally make my way into the bathroom I fix myself up as we have a meeting tonight with Stan Davis who is now king of Texas and Nevada. I pulled on a pair of red satin boy shorts and a matching bra that had black swirls of lace running through it, I put my hair up in a chignon and pulled on a chocolate brown pantsuit and little white heels.
"mm lover you look delectable tonight" Eric purred from behind me and I gave him a smile "you look good yourself" it was true he was wearing a black shirt and black trousers, he looked like sin and he knew it. He vamped over to me and pulled me close to his chest breathing in my scent like there was no tomorrow. He kissed me and all thought went out the window as I melted into him. When we broke apart he grabbed my hand and pulled me down to his office, he sat behind his desk and I sat on one of the couches to the side.
Stan walked in and I jumped up, flying into his arms "hey Sookie!" he laughed as he twirled me around "Stan" I grinned as I went back to my seat, Eric rose and shook hands with Stan. When we had all exchanged greetings and taken our seats Eric began the proceedings "why did you call this meeting?" he addressed Stan in a business like tone and Stan went into the same kind of mindset "I am I need of a telepath, three vampires in my area have been drained and left on my doorstep and I need Sookie to help as Barry is currently in Fae with his kin who finally laid claim to him" he replied smoothly and I said "yes" as Eric said "no" we stared at each other, I was resolute as Stan was my friend and Eric looked blank although I could feel his anger through our bond.
"Stan would you be so kind as to give us the night to think about it?" I asked using the southern manners that my grandmother had taught me. He nodded graciously and rose "I shall take my leave then" Eric nodded curtly and I rose to give Stan a peck on the cheek "until tomorrow" he strolled out of the room. I turned to look at Eric when I found myself pressed against the wall with a very angry vampire glaring at me.
"you are mine!" he hissed at me and I glared back as my temper began to flare "you always touch other men and show them affection" he growled and I calmed down as I realized it was simple jealousy. "Eric I have zero interest in any other guy and I would tell you if I did" he reigned in his anger and stood back "be that as it may you are not going, you are mine to do with as I want and you will not go" he commanded and my temper snapped "fuck you, if I want to go I will" I stormed away to my day room.
I sat down in front of my laptop and began to sort out my emails. About an hour later Pam sashayed in and flopped down on my daybed "hello Pam" I said distractedly and she gave me a slow grin "hello my favorite breather" she said with a leer and I laughed "what do you want Pam?" I asked her and she gave me a serious look "I think you should do what Stan wants" I broke into a smile "only because my master needs to learn to trust you and to give you two some space, you are getting to close to fast, you need to develop an emotional and personal connection. That's what dear Abby says anyway" she said knowingly and I nodded "I know its just.." suddenly I choked and fell out of my chair and on to my knees.
"Sookie!" Pam cried as she rushed to my side "what is wrong?!" she asked as she frantically checked my body for harm. I shoved her away and curled into a ball "go away!" I screamed at her and she took a step back "Sookie" she whispered and I yelled at her "leave me alone! I need to think and I need space!" she backed away swiftly and closed the door behind her. I was lost as I felt Eric fucking someone else, I could feel the lust and through our bond I knew he was screwing another person.
I sat on my own for less than twenty minutes before Pam came back "I saw him" she said dully before embracing me, I leaned into her and we held each other for a while "I can't see him tonight" I told her and she nodded "I will keep him away for the night" she rose and walked to the door just as she touched the handle she spoke softly "I love you Sookie and I feel like you are my sister, I hope that you are happy again and soon" she vamped out of the room.
An hour before dawn Eric appeared and I stared at him "go away" I yelled and he shook his head "no we need to talk" I laughed and snarled "not tonight, tonight I am going for a drive to clear my head. We can talk tomorrow when I have cooled down" I walked past him and he followed mt to the car port. I picked the Dodge charger and hopped in "goodbye" I whispered softly and he stroked my face "see you soon my angel" I drove away quickly.
As I drove I realized that I could not go back, if I did I would forgive him and it would happen again, no I needed to leave. Eric was insecure and hurt me, I could not have another Bill in my life so I hit the gas and refused to look back.
