Chapter 2
"It's a shame you can't enjoy this," I tell him as I take another delicious mouthful of the chicken alfredo.
"Well I'm quite happy with my twenty-three year old surfer chick," he laughs and gulps the last of the blood. Half the fridge is donor blood and the other half is food for me.
"Yeah, but think of all the things you missed out on. Chocolate, for example, is fucking amazing. And chocolate and peanut butter are even better. Don't you ever wish it would appeal to you?"
"Let me spread some on your chest, Fairy Princess. That would be very appealing." One of his finger trails down my side and over my hip.
I laugh softly and eat more as he rubs my back.
"Ooo the amazing heavenly treat that is Ben and Jerry's. That's the nectar of the gods, any flavor, doesn't really matter because they're all amazing."
"As are babies, which you've never tried."
I look at him, at first thinking he's joking but he's not. "You've eaten babies? That's-"
"Newborn vampires. The thirst is unquenchable and back then, there weren't as many people. You took what you could get."
"But you ate babies?"
"I drained them, yes."
"Let's not speak of this again," I say, trying to push it out of my head. "Put that under the things-I-don't-need-to-know category of Eric Northman trivia."
"If it makes you feel any better, it's been several centuries since I've done it."
I realize he's a vampire and he's probably killed… I can't even imagine how many people in a thousand years. But babies? First of all, what is there, like two mouthfuls?
"Not as comforting as you might think, Eric," I inform him and he kisses my shoulder. "Anything else I should know? Have you slaughtered a basket of puppies? Stomped on sleeping kittens? Ripped the heads off bunnies?"
"Well… I have killed rabbits, but that was as a human and for food. The babies were also food. Blood is blood, Sookie, and when there are only about a hundred people in a town, when you find one, you're lucky."
I place my container of food on the ground as I consider this. Rationally, I understand the facts but… I guess I hadn't thought about it in such detail.
"Well luckily, that's not the world anymore, huh? Sounds disturbing. Please don't ever allow me to eat a baby, whether I'm fairy or vampire. Okay?"
"I promise," he whispers as his lips touch mine for a slow and tender kiss. I move to straddle his hips. His hands slide over my thighs as I hold his torso and start kissing my way down his neck and over his collarbone. I drag my tongue over hips nipples and suck on one before flashing to the silver rod sticking through his chest right here, burning him through and through, ripping him apart and searing his flesh. I see where every single one stood.
I sit up and he cups my face, his thumb wiping the tear from my cheek.
"Stop thinking about it, Lover," he implores me and kisses me sweetly. "There are a thousand other images of my chest you could have in your mind. Think of one of those."
"I can't help it, Eric. Up until then, the worst thing I'd seen was my grandmother dead in the kitchen, but… I'd gladly make that my screensaver if it meant not seeing you like that."
He kisses my forehead and tries to send me calm through the bond which is appreciated. Too bad he doesn't have the purple fairy glow to calm me down. "I'm sorry you've had such horrific experiences in such a young life."
"Like losing my not-parents?" I picture my mother's face and times in my life when everyone always told me I looked just like my dad. Even with my blond hair, I was always like my dad. And how had Mom and Dad even kept this a secret from me in their thoughts? How was that possible? I heard everything else they were thinking.
"This is certainly… a puzzle."
"How could you hide this type of secret for twenty years from a telepath? How would they have kept it from my family? From Gran? Didn't she notice that Mom was never pregnant?"
Unless they were glamoured.
"WHAT? Don't- no. No," I say as I sit up. "No, no, no. No. Now there are vampires in this?"
"Lover, calm down. It does no good getting upset about something you have no control over. Perhaps not glamoured, but we know there are memory spells. Perhaps your family was given false memories or something. Perhaps none of them knew."
"Oh." Right. Well that's possible. I suppose. "Maybe." I feel powerless in this and Maurella has been gone for three weeks. I wonder if she's coming back. "I'll visit the club tomorrow."
"Remember you promised to hug fairies for me."
"So… if Ben and Jerry's were to make a vampire flavored, it'd be Fairy Garcia?" I giggle because he doesn't get the reference and just stares but I'm pretty impressed with myself.
I lean forward and capture one of her breasts with my mouth. She loves when I suck on them, with or without fangs, though I prefer with. She gasps and arches against me as they slide into her flesh.
I feel a surge of desire, twinge of pain and lust as she groans and runs her fingers through my hair.
Fuck, Eric, suck on me. That feels so good.
I growl at the encouragement, as if I need more. I had to go almost a week without her around me, her scent surrounding me, and her presence close to me.
Get me inside, Lover. Grab me and put me in you.
Her hands wrap around me and do just that and we're both quite happy to be molded together. I think she really loves being on top like this. Hell, she loves anything we do and anything I give her.
I missed you so much.
Missed sex? Or me?
Both.
That's a satisfactory answer because I missed both her and the sex as well. I wrap my arms around her as she bucks her hips and rides me. My sexy little fairy is quite a minx and that is known about the fae: they are very sexual. I just never anticipated all the nasty things my little Sookie would come up with.
She doesn't even know she does it either, because it's moments like these when we're together and her hands are on me that she's sending me all sorts of images of things she wants, things she's curious about, things we've done that she loved. It all courses through her, through us both now. She's got quite an imagination but doesn't feel comfortable enough yet to vocalize it, let alone admit some of it to herself.
The bond seems to be more than a normal human/vampire bond. I spoke with Agostino at length while I was away because he has bonded with several humans throughout his time. He has shared blood with them as I do with Sookie but he never experienced what we do. He said he'd feel their emotions and vice versa, be able to tell where they were, if they were in trouble or if they were happy. But this between her and I is like a direct link to each other's minds.
I know she wonders about the vampire only clubs I own and what the one will be like in Memphis. She's thought of what she saw with Yvetta that night in the basement and wonders if I want her like that. She wonders what that would feel like. She wants to know why I haven't done anything like that already with her. She hopes it's not because I don't want her as much.
Hmm… alright. I cup her face and send her a couple images of what I'd like to do with her. I'd like her blindfolded and tied to the bed while I tease her with my tongue and bite her all over. I'd like her bent over one of our breakfast bar stools and cuffed with her ass in the air while I spank it and then fuck it.
Her lust spikes tremendously as she bucks her hips harder.
Knulla mig, min viking. Bita mig nu. (Fuck me, my viking. Bite me now.)
I yank her hips against mine so I can hold her before moving us down onto the patio so I'm above her. She wraps her legs around my waist and clings to me as I move our hips as fast as I can without breaking her.
Now now now
I see a vision of my fangs a second before they pop out and are in her neck, sucking my liquid Sookie, as she comes, digging her nails into me as deep as she can. I lick the wound languidly as it slows and then prick my tongue on a fang to heal it for her.
"This is nice, but maybe your back could be laying on the concrete," she suggests with a soft giggle.
"You told me to fuck you and that didn't lend itself to the chair. What was I to do?" She giggles softly as I pick her up and sit back in the lounge chair with her in my lap. "Better?"
"Much."
I kiss her softly and she rests her head on my chest and we look up at the stairs and play with each other's fingers. I love knowing that I will have hundreds of years with these moments every night with her. I can hardly imagine growing tired of being with her.
"What was with the images?" she wonders. "Seems like you enjoy what we do."
I sense a hint of self-doubt and that must be fixed immediately.
"I absolutely enjoy every moment I spend inside you, Sookie," I tell her. "But… I know some things have been on your mind lately. Perhaps you don't even realize they are, but… I want you to know I want you any way and every way you're willing to go, whenever you'd like."
The doubt goes away and she says nothing but seems satisfied with that answer.
"Do you want to tell me about what woke you last night?"
She sighs. She promises that she's not dreaming of Red Night, as she calls it. She says it's about a forest, every time. Screaming and fighting in a forest that she doesn't recognize. It's never detailed enough where she can remember faces or names, but she wakes up afraid thinking of the forest.
"No more details, just… that forest. And I know in the dream there's more. I know there are voices but I can't remember them. I can't pick them out. It's… I don't know, Eric."
"And you've never had premonitions, so… perhaps it's a memory? A childhood one perhaps? Or one you picked out of someone's brain?"
"Who knows," she shrugs against me before lifting her head. "But I have stuff we need to look at so we should probably get dressed."
"True. I told Pam we'd be there tonight."
"Maybe if you're lucky, I'll let you play with me in the shower," she grins.
"No. If you're lucky, I'll play with you in the shower."
She wraps her arms around me and hugs me tightly. "I fucking missed you."
"I missed fucking you too."
"Arrogant ass," she laughs and punches me.
