I just want to say that I do not own any of the characters from the Sookie Stackhouse series, they all belong to Charlaine Harris. As one of my favorite fanfiction authors says 'I am poor so please don't sue' please enjoy. Also I know that this may be repeating, I do apologize but it took me a second to get a handle on how to work this website. I went back and corrected the problem, but I don't know how long it takes to update. So if you already read this chapter attached to chapter 2 please forgive me, and I will update soon.

Chapter 3

Sookie pulled Eric close and he kissed her. Her mind exploded because every inch of her that he touched vibrated with sheer lust and every inch of her that he wasn't touching ached for his attention. Eric moved his hands restlessly over Sookie's body, memorizing ever part of it. He ripped off her clothes so that nothing came between them. Sookie fought with the buttons on his shirt, but he just ripped it off, who cares about a shirt right? When they were both nude he scooped her up and carried her into the bedroom. Physically she was still week from the lack of nutrition but she didn't care. She would have had sex where ever they happened to be. He gently laid her on the bed and he pulled away so that she could breathe but his lips never left his body. They moved from her cheek slowly down her neck, where he gave her a playful nip, to her breasts. She gasped and arched her back to him as he grazed her nipple with his teeth while the knead the other with his hand. His other hand ran down her side then hitched her leg around his waist. She bucked against him as she felt his rock hard length pressing against her begging to be let in. Eric was steady, he let out a deep growl before his mouth attacked her other breast. His tongue flicked around her nipple and he placed playfully nip all over her but never breaking her skin. Then his hand caress her side again before he glide his fingers right into her.

"Eric!" she gasped then began rocking her hips meeting the thrusts of his hand. "oh...my...Eric!" she stammered incoherently. "Watch me lover" he murmured pure sex. She happily obliged and gazed deeply into his eyes. Never letting his eyes drop, he placed burning kisses down her body. She moaned his name with every kiss. He smiled wickedly at her and then allowed his tongue to pay homage to her nub. She gasped loudly and ran her fingers through his hair pulling him closer. Then his tongue switched places with his fingers and plunged deeply inside her. She threw her head back and yelled his name.

"No watch me lover" he commanded and his fingers slipped back inside her working in tune with his thumb, which was now rubbing circles on her tender nub. He kissed the inside of her thigh and then bit down. Sookie couldn't take it anymore she was pushed over the edge, stars exploded in her eyes as she screamed out his name. Before she stopped shuddering he was on top of her kissing her as he thrust deeply into her. She called his name again before she started meeting his thrusts. He growled in her mouth, send another shudder ripping through her body. "Say it." he commanded. "I have to hear it"

'I love you I love you I love you I love you!' she thought over and over in her head. He pulled almost all the way out and thrust harder in her twice, making her cry out his name again in ecstasy. She arched her back even more granting him deeper entrance. "I...I...I..."she stuttered unable to put together a cohesive thought.

"Say it!" he growled, plunging deeper into her. He knew it was there, on the tip of her tongue and he would get it out of her. "Now!" he growled again, capturing her nipple in his teeth.

"I-I love you Eric!" Sookie yelled as she felt him sink his fangs into her sending her over the moon in pure ecstasy. As he sucked she felt him shudder inside her and he came too, thrusting roughly through their aftershocks before he fell onto her. He wasn't breathing but she knew that if he was, it would be just as rough as hers. After a minute she poke him in the side because she couldn't breathe and he pulled out of her, making them both shudder again, and laid down next to her. She wiggled her way up his side and laid her head on his chest. He kissed her on lightly on the top of her head and wrapped his arm tightly around her. "You love me." Eric stated when her breathing was back to normal. Sookie smiled, she could hear the smile on his face, and she could feel the joy and contentment coming through the bond.

"That was coercion" she teased, but she instantly regretted it because she felt the hurt coming through the bond.

"You don't love me?" he asked pulling her face up so that he could look in her eyes. "Of course I do. How could I not?" she soothed. "I just think that I need to be on my guard from now on because I don't think that there's anything you wont do to get what you want." She smiled playfully at him.

"You see?" he smiled back. "That's why I love you; you just know me so well." He brushed his lips lightly across hers and she shuddered again at the light touch.

"Um Eric? That was..." she seemed to be at a loss of words. "Well, what the hell was that"

"That was us becoming one." he answered running his hands through her golden locks. "As time goes on our bond will get stronger, but apparently its already stronger then I could have ever imagined. Look at how much I effected you even when we were not together, its only going to get more intense." he fell into a thought full silence.

She sighed contentedly, as she thought over his words. She had felt so much and it was so concentrated that she couldn't handle it. When she looked back on the previous month, or even the previous year, when she felt so many conflicted things about Eric. She found that there was not hurt there anymore. There was no sadness or regret or pain or even anger-which had become her most dominate feeling when it came to him. All she felt as she looked back was understanding and now contentment. That little part in her mind that buzzed Eric all the time in the background now had more sustenance. It was established and had weight, and she could feel every part of Eric. It pulsated like a beating heart in her mind. Right now what it told her was that he was happy, and awed that she found it in her heart to love him. Right on cue he gave her a gentle squeeze as if to make sure she hadn't disappeared. "Lover?" he asked, and she looked into his piercing blue eyes. "I think you should take some of my blood."

"Why?" she asked. This seemed to come out of the blue.

"Because your body is weak, and I thoughtlessly fed off you anyway. I'm sorry, that was wrong of me, but after so long of being without you I just couldn't help myself"

"My body is a little sore, but it's just fine. I just need to eat more"

"Yes," he agreed, "but please take my blood, it will heal you faster and you will feel more like yourself instead of worn and drained." (ha-ha)
She debated in her head. She did feel a little weak and worn. She knew that she would not have felt like that normally because Eric takes so little blood, but the combination of her not taking care of her self and him feeding from her did make her feel...not herself.

"Okay." she agreed with a theatrical sigh. He snorted and moved to sit up. She started to follow him but gasped in pain. Before when they were shuddering in post coital bliss she didn't mind the tenderness, but now it was just pain. She tried to hide her discomfort but it was too late.

"It's okay my lover I will heal you." he crooned as he gently moved her between his legs so that her back rested on his chest. She took a deep breath and relaxed so that her head rested next to his cheek. He put his middle finder to his mouth and bit down drawing blood, then slid it into her before she could tense up. She still whimpered at his entry. "Shh my lover, I will take care of you." he promised as he moved his bloody finger inside her touching every sore place he could find.

Sure enough after a few moment all the discomfort was gone and she sighed with contentment again, but he didn't stop moving his finger he just added another one. "Eric" she moaned.

"Here" he whispered in her ear, placing is bloody wrist in front her. She never even notice that he had bit his other wrist until then. She took it without complaining and began to suck. Eric groaned with pleasure in response. He picked up the pace of his fingers that move inside her. She could feel his hard length swelling against her back again and deep inside her she felt a profound aching deep inside her. She searched for the reason because it wasn't a hurting ache, but it was an ache none the less. Eric scraped his fangs against the back of her neck. 'Eric' she thought the ache came from the presence in her head that was Eric. Then she realized what he wanted. Reluctantly she used her free hand to grab Eric wrist and tug on it, removing the fingers from her. She felt the loss instantly and he made to replace his fingers but she slapped his hand away and drew deeply on his wrist, he twitched and growled in return. Without releasing his wrist she got to her knees, placing one on each side of his legs, and she gently lower herself onto his pulsing length.

"Sookie!"he choked wrapping his free arm around her gently guiding her up and down on himself. Slowly they moved together in their pleasure. Sookie took one last deep draw from Eric's wrist, causing him to thrust her down on himself with more force. She licked the the wound clean then released his arm. He moved her purposefully, meeting her half way. They both started making incoherent sounds. Then he pushed her forward until she was on her hands and knees and he was on his knees behind her diving into her with more force.

"Yes Eric!" Sookie moaned loudly. "yesyesyesohgoderic!" she continued as she bucked against him. Stars began to burst in her eyes again and she cried out his name again. Eric shuddered as her orgasm sparked his own and they both fell in a heap on the bed. He pulled her close and kissed her.

"You are unbelievable Sookie." he murmured.

Sookie smiled at his pleasure. "Hey, it was your idea." she stated. Eric just looked at her questioningly. "I didn't say anything to you." he said "I know, but I felt you. You were aching to be inside of me, so I happily obliged"

"You felt that?"

"Yes."

He got quiet for a moment, Sookie could tell that he was just thinking some thing over, so she nuzzled herself closer to him and laid her head on his chest.

'Hmmm, this is very interesting. I wonder if she could feel what I want if she would be able to hear me too. We may have to experiment with this, it can be very helpful'

"What kind of experiment?" Sookie asked. Eric didn't answer, he just got very still and then she felt like she was in the middle of a crowded hall because there were so many words swirling around. Sookie jerked strait up in the bed. She wasn't prepared for it so she couldn't get a handle on the voices, and then just as quickly as they came, they left. Once again it was just her and Eric. She turned back to look at him, to find a huge grin on his face. 'Holy shit! I can hear Eric? Holy shit!' Sookie thought. Eric's smile got even bigger, he looked like the Cheshire cat.

'Yes' he thought 'And apparently I can hear you too'

"Oh my Lord Eric! I cant hear you, I cant hear vampires!" Sookie's voice started to creep up with terror. "That's the only thing that's kept me alive"

"Shh Sookie, come here." Eric said pulling her close. "I think that this is a side effect of our bond. The more blood we swap, the stronger the bond gets. The thing that's interesting to me is that the bond seems to be maturing faster then normal"

"Maybe it has something to do with how strongly we feel for each other." she offered.

"This is true, it makes sense. But I think that we need to keep this to ourselves. No one, not even Bill or Pam should know what we can do"

"Okay." 'Oh my God, I have put us in even more danger' she couldn't help but think. "No, Sookie. None of that." he gently rebuked her. "This is not your fault, and this is not my fault.

We haven't done anything wrong. I am just a very old vampire and you are an exceptionally gifted telepath with a Fae heritage. Anything we do together will be magnificent. There's no fault or blame because this can really help us and keep us alive so that we can live to love each other another day. That's why we cant tell anyone about this." Eric gently kissed her on the forehead. "We need to trust in each other and no one else. Though I don't think that they will betray us, the more people who know our secrets the more liabilities we will have to worry about"

She couldn't fault his logic. 'Okay' Sookie sighed. 'I guess you didn't live to be over a thousand years old being stupid'

Eric chuckled. "Thank you"

"Thank you Eric." Sookie said.

"For what"

"For loving me, and protecting me. I am not sure who I pleased to get you sent to me buy I am awful grateful. I love you"

Eric pulled her tighter to his side. "Trust me when I say that it is I who should be thanking you, Dearest Sookie. I have been on this earth for a thousand years. I have fought in wars. I have slept with many women. I have taken whatever it is that I wanted damn what it did to others. I have been selfish and I have been selfless. I have used others and others have used me. I turned hard and cold with time, its the only way I knew how to get through. I thought I was content as the days, months, years, and centuries passed me by. I never knew I was missing anything until I met you." He paused to kiss her face lightly again. "My entire being has changed since I have met you. That's why I have always been so persistent in making you mine; but it wasn't until we started exchanging blood that I began to see how much I needed you. You are my light, but the funny thing is I never knew I was in darkness. I am not sure who's idea it was to bless a black hearted creature like me with an angel like you, but I will never stop being thankful; and I will happily spend the rest of my existence worshiping at their feet. I love you more then you know"

Tears spilled out of Sookie's eyes and she stretched up to kiss him, to tell him there are no words that can fully describe what he means to her. He pulled her onto his chest and deepened the kiss and moaned contentedly into her mouth.

He understood.
