"Light tight." Eric whispered, surprised as he kissed his way down Amelia's neck, scraping his teeth along her skin as she placed her hand on the scanner beside the door and waited for the green indicator light to flicker on. "I could fuck you all day."
"I have a job to go to in the morning, stud." Amelia laughed and carded a hand through Eric's hair as she pushed her door open. "Please come in." She flipped around and replaced both hands in the vampire's hair to pull his lips down upon hers.
Slowly, Amelia backed her way inside the house, pulling Eric along with her until they both collapsed onto the sofa with a muffled laugh. "Bedroom is too far away." She whispered, moving her lips frantically against Eric's cold ones as she moved her hands to the hem of the man's shirt.
Before she could blink, Eric had picked Amelia up and carried her through the house, up the stairs, and to her bedroom before depositing her on king sized bed. He stood at the foot of the bed looking down at her with a smirk and Amelia returned it with a raised eyebrow, wondering why she didn't have a icy body on top of her already.
"Best to start somewhere comfortable, because once I start, I wouldn't be able to tear myself away from your gorgeous body."
Speaking of gorgeous bodies, Amelia's mouth suddenly went dry when Eric whipped his shirt off over his head and all but threw himself on top of Amelia's frame.
-ooo-
"Do you have a vid screen at that club of yours?" Amelia asked Eric's reflection as she slowly applied a thin layer of mascara over her upper lashes. Eric was lying in her bed, looking absolutely adorable and disheveled, yet at the same time giving off the energy of a dangerous being that was not be trifled with. It was an incredible thing to witness and Amelia couldn't tear her eyes away as she made herself presentable for the day.
"Of course, anything in particular you think I should be watching?"
"No, just curious."
From the way Eric's eyebrow lifted until it was nearly touching his hair line, it was clear to see that the man didn't believe Amelia was simply curious about the state of his club's use of technology, but he didn't ask any other questions about the topic.
"It's not often that I ask this." Eric said as he appeared beside Amelia in the mirror. "But when can I see you again?" He ran his tongue along the recently healed bite mark on Amelia's neck, making it very clear why he was interested in her.
Amelia didn't often enjoy the same man twice, but this one, this one she could see herself meeting at least once more.
"You'll see me Thursday." She told him and walked out of her bathroom to grab her purse and car keys before making her way down stairs.
"I have a meeting, Thursday, perhaps some other time." Eric appeared on the stairs beside her and Amelia couldn't help her eye roll.
"I'll see you Thursday, Eric." She stopped and placed a kiss on Eric's cheek. "Now go upstairs so the light doesn't get you, wouldn't want to burn that handsome face of yours."
It was Eric that rolled his eyes this time, but he did as Amelia asked and went back upstairs, muttering something about "fucking humans that think they own the world."
The moment she stepped outside, Amelia's car zoomed forward until it was hoovering just a few feet away from the front door. She quickly entered the vehicle and waited for the seat belt to wrap tightly around her and for the coordinate selection to appear on the dashboard.
Amelia typed in the address where her meeting was to be taking place that afternoon and braced herself as the car moved forward of it's own accord.
-ooo-
"You're late." Pam said as she grabbed onto Eric's arm the moment he walked through the doors of Fangtasia, a few hours after the sun had already gone down. "I thought we were going to go over the applications for the new bartender before we opened for the night."
"I was preoccupied."
Eric allowed himself to be led by his childe through the club, sending a few polite smiles to regular customers and old associates. Pam pushed him inside his office, and slammed the door shut behind them both.
"I will not have you loosing your head over a human again." She told him, helping herself to one of the empty chairs. "We've come too far, and you're too important for another Sookie Stackhouse to ruin everything we've built."
Eric's gaze was cold as he stared at his childe and for a split second it looked as though Pam was truly sorry for what she had said, though she would never say as much to him.
"A) I know I've told you not to speak to me like that and B) it was one night, Pam. She's a good fuck with the sweetest blood I've tasted in years. Nothing more." He kicked his feet up on top of his desk and picked up the red file of applications.
"Nothing more?" Pam didn't sound the least bit convinced.
"Nothing more. Now-" He held up the folder in his hands and gave it a shake. "-who do like out of here."
"The twins."
"Both of them?" Eric eyed the photos in the file and immediately saw Pam's...attraction to them. The women were tall, dark, and gorgeous and if the information on the forms was correct, they were more than qualified for the job. "Done. Anything for my angel." He threw the folder back on the desk and straightened in his chair.
"I'll make my calls while you speak with Felyx. He called a few minutes before you walked in." She snatched the folder from the desk before slantering out of the room, while Eric stared at her back with an amused shake of his head.
The last thing he wanted to do tonight was talk to the King of Louisiana, but he knew he couldn't put the call off for long, despite his feelings on the matter. With a sigh, Eric tapped a button on the office's control panel, causing Felyx's voice to boom out from the speakers in each of the four corners.
"Turn your vidscreen to channel 98." Was the welcome he recieved and Eric's mind immediately thought back to Amelia's question that morning. Without even snapping out his usual sarcastic comeback, Eric brought up his vidscreen on his desk and typed in the correct channel number.
"What's going on?" He asked when his eyes were met with some stupid pseudovampire soap opera that made his brain burn.
"This morning, paperwork was filed with the supernatural council in San Diego, registering a new creature." Felyx's voice was tense over the phone and it was clear just how worried the younger man was about this situation.
"What are they?"
"That hasn't been released, even the contacts I have in the council building haven't been able to tell me anything except that they're having a press confrence at nine. Caroline and I believe these are the people that arranged the urgent meeting with the authority on Thursday." Suddenly, it was as if a light bulb had switched on in his brain like one of those ridiculus cartoons.
"Amelia." It was barely a breath that left his lips, but Felyx heard it loud and clear over the phone.
"Who is Amelia?"
Eric didn't answer, his eyes were focused on the vid screen on his desk where a commercial was advertising for New Blood.
He should have known there was something off about her.
How many humans lived in light tight houses? The UVB resistant windows were insanely expensive and one didn't purchase them unless they absolutely needed them..
How many humans spoke to vampires, let alone him, like she did?
How many humans moved like she had? As though she had all the time in the world; nothing like the rushed movements of a mortal who were always in such a hurry to die.
"She's a woman I met last night." Eric told him honestly, "I didn't think anything of her, but-"
"Tell me everything."
-ooo-
A/N: Sorry it took so long to put this up. I have a few chapters pre-written, but every time I thought to post this one, real life got in the way and I kept forgetting about it...
