Okay so there I was standing in the middle of my kitchen with the man I had just slept with, Eric, and with my former flame, Bill. You would have had to of been blind not to notice the looks these two alpha males were exchanging. Eric seemed to be not only pissed off at Bill for his intrusion, but quite proud at the same time. Bill on the other hand looked very uncomfortable and unhappy about what he was seeing (and smelling I'm sure.) I had no idea what to say or what I was supposed to do. I decided to go with clearing my throat. Both my men turned their attention to me and looked at me in wonder.
"Bill...can I offer you some blood?" I quickly corrected myself. "I mean... true blood." I walked over to the fridge and quickly got a bottle of O positive out and put it in the microwave.
"Compton, is there a reason you are intruding on our evening?" Eric questioned and took a step toward me. It couldn't have been more obvious that he was trying to prove Bills suspicions about us to be true. I tried not to think about that while I got Bill's blood out of the microwave, shook it and placed it down in front of him.
"Thank you." Bill nodded at me, picked up the bottle and took a drink. I so badly wanted everyone to sit down and relax. There was something quite uncomfortable about standing in this awkward little circle. "I came because Pam sent me to watch Sookie's house." Bill cleared his throat. "She didn't tell me anything else." His gaze flickered between Eric and I. That gaze made me feel even more awkward. "Eric, what has happened to you?" His eyes rested on the proud viking beside me.
"I had a run in with some witches, nothing that wont be fixed." Eric pulled me into his chest and tightened the belt on my dressing gown. He may as well of branded "she's mine!" on my bum. It couldn't have been anymore obvious. I tried not to think too hard about that, while I stepped out of Eric's embrace. I took a seat at the table and gestured for them both to sit down. I felt a little better when they did.
"You are human?" I couldn't work out if Bill sounded disappointed or interested in this little discovery.
"Not for long," Eric replied, sounding quite sure of the fact.
"Why are you here, Bill?" I finally asked the one question I wanted answered.
"I wanted to know why Pam wanted me guarding your house tonight. I also wanted to find out if it had something to do with the missing posters of Eric I have noticed around the town." Bill started to play with the bottle in front of him.
"The witches are looking for Eric," I replied, with a nod. Eric tensed up beside me, he didn't like me telling this to Bill.
"Why?" Bill looked over at Eric. "What have you gotten yourself into this time?" he asked Eric, sounding smug. I could have almost sworn Bill found this whole situation slightly amusing. Eric didn't look too impressed about the look he was receiving from our visitor.
"It does not concern you, Compton." Eric looked over at the vampire. "I suggest you do your job and ignore anything you see here... or anything you might hear," he added, sounding quite proud. I gritted my teeth and tried to ignore the redness that was making itself known. You didn't need to be a brain surgeon to pick up on what Eric was hinting at. It was times like these when I wished so badly for a shovel and spade, so I could dig a deep hole, crawl into it and wait for these two fully grown men to stop this facade. They may as well of been comparing their sizes with a tape measure. (although Eric would have one that one pretty easily.) I actually giggled when the thought crossed my mind. Both my visitors turned their attention to me and looked at me in confusion.
I coughed and quickly cleared the pictures from my mind. "Sorry... what were you saying?" I looked between the two vampires. Bill was looking rather confused about my little outburst. Eric, however was looking quite amused (as always.)
"I was about to point out, that I will be out of the country for a week." Bill picked up his bottle of blood. "I am needed in Peru on business." Eric's gaze finally left my face, as he turned to look at Bill.
"Thank you for letting us know, you can leave when you're ready." I couldn't believe how rude Eric sounded, well actually I kind of could. He snaked his arm around my shoulder, (because Bill needed more hints then what he had already been given.) It was everything I had in me not to jump up and run out of the room. Oh, how much I wished I had spent the extra five minutes finding clothes to wear, instead of settling for the very minimal dressing gown.
Bill suddenly looked more awkward then ever. He cleared his throat and rose to his feet. "Very well. If you need anything I will be out in the yard."
"Oh, I think we will be fine." Eric replied.
I got up from my chair, gave Eric a look that told him I wasn't very happy with him, then walked Bill out. I was surprised that Eric remained in the kitchen while we walked outside onto the porch. The night air was cold and bitter. I pulled my gown tighter around me, before turning my attention over to my ex. "Sorry about all that." I moved my head in the direction of the kitchen.
"You didn't leave much time, Sookie." Bill's voice was clipped and unfriendly.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I folded my arms across my chest and met his glare with one of my own.
Bill raised an eyebrow and replied, "We have only stopped seeing each other for a short while, and already you have bedded the sheriff. Why am I not surprised?" I couldn't believe Bill had just spoken those words.
"Bill, I don't believe you are in any position to comment on my bedroom status." I looked him up and down. "Not after you were planning to leave me for her!" I continued without letting him get a word in. "At least I allowed time between you and him, you were still dating me when you left me for Lorena!" I wanted to slap his all too pale face, but decided that would only make me as bad as him. Gran had raised me not to solve things with violence. Instead I gave him one last glare, turned around and slammed the door behind me. It felt good to get my anger off my chest. I let out the breath I was holding while I tried to control my inner frustration.
EPOV
Well that was fun. I knew Sookie would be slightly annoyed with me for my little stunt at the dinner table, but at that moment I really couldn't have cared. I cannot tell you how satisfying it was for me to know that Bill was well aware of what he has lost. In my entire existence I had never been more overjoyed about something then I was that minute. Not only did dearest Sookie finally yield to me, but Bill decided to pick tonight to come and visit. As much as I hate Compton, I am so glad that he had a chance to come and see for himself what happened between me and dearest Sookie. Oh the look that bastard gave me when I touched her. That glare he gave me when I appeared in Sookie's kitchen, smelling heavily of Sookie and sex. Even now it brings a smile to my lips to think how much hatred Compton held towards me. It really is quite a pleasant feeling to know someone could hate another person as much as he hated me.
I remembered the first night he brought Sookie to my bar. I remembered how innocent and beautiful Sookie was, wearing that small, short dress. I remembered how I felt when Bill told me she was his and she agreed. Since that night Bill had done nothing but dangle her in front of me, like a man dangles a bone in front of a dog. He had done nothing but rub her into my face, showing me what I cannot have. Tonight was my chance for a little payback of my own. Oh how wonderful it felt to touch her in front of him. A smile spread across my lips.
Tonight had been a very satisfying night. Even now I cannot believe that Sookie succumbed to me in the way she did. I honestly thought I would have had to fight with her a little longer before she would be ready to bed me; but as always the woman surprised me. I found myself wishing that Sookie and I could go back into the bedroom and pick up from where we had finished. I smiled to myself at this idea. As I sat and waited for her to finish with Compton, I couldn't help but let my thoughts move back to earlier in the evening. I allowed myself to remember the look in Sookie's eyes as she approached me and offered herself to me. I smiled when I remembered how quickly she wanted to get me out of my clothes, how beautiful she was when she began to remove her own. Then my mind moved on to other things; the feeling of her lips on mine, the feeling of her in my arms, the sensations that ran through my body when she would touch me. Then I remembered the feeling of being inside of her. The moans and screams she yelled, the way my name sounded when it left her lips. I had to stop thinking now. It wasn't helping me at all. I felt myself grow harder under the table. Hmmm maybe Sookie could help me with my little problem?
I was pulled from my thoughts when the back door slammed closed. I jumped up from the table and went over to see what was happening. Sookie stood motionless in the doorway, looking rather heated and annoyed. I watched her intently while she tried to calm herself down. And then her gaze finally moved up to look at me and I couldn't help but notice how heated and annoyed she now looked. It seemed I had angered my dear little telepath. Whatever did I do to upset her? She took a step closer to me, and I waited patiently for her to attack. I knew it was only a matter of time before she would say something.
"What was that?" Her voice was clipped and frustrated.
I decided to play this to my advantage. "What was what, my lover?" I made sure my voice was full of innocence.
Sookie seemed to look even more annoyed at my words. She huffed and stormed past me into the kitchen. She began to look through the fridge, while I stood back and waited for her to say something else. Surely she would have more to say than that. Sure enough only a moment later she slammed the fridge door closed and folded her arms over her chest. "Eric, why do you always need to go out of your way to make everything harder then it needs to be?" She glared at me. Dearest Sookie looked rather arousing when she glared at me in that way.
"Sookie, if you continue to look at me like that, then I'll be harder then I need to be." I smiled at her, before taking a seat back down at the table. Sookie on the other hand could not believe what I had just spoken. That was one of the many reasons I was attracted to this woman. She was just so innocent. Sookie didn't even know half the horrible things that take place in my world. I was glad she could not read the mind of a vampire.
"Eric!" She looked more than appalled. "I cannot believe you just said that!"
"Why can you not?" I began to read the newspaper that was sitting on the table.
"Is everything one big joke to you?" She asked. "Do you find this whole situation to be nothing but amusing and entertaining?"
I looked up from the paper and smiled at her. "I found the situation with Compton to be amusing and entertaining, I find this situation with you to be rather arousing." I made a point to look down at her minimum clothing choice. Her face blushed a light shade of red, before she turned away from me. I couldn't help but feel smug at her response.
"Can you please just tell me why you had to rub yourself all over me in front of Bill like that?" She kept her back faced to me while she continued. "There are some things that other people don't need to know, or see!"
Part of me couldn't help but to ask, "Did you not like having Bill see me touch you?" I closed the newspaper in front of me and leaned back in the chair. "Does it bother you what he thinks?"
Sookie was silent before she replied. "No, I don't care what he thinks!" She was talking while she started to prepare our meal. "I couldn't care less about what anyone thinks of me...but there is a time and a place for everything, you didn't need to be so forward." Sookie's voice was finally beginning to calm down. I finally took the opportunity. I am nothing if not an opportunist. I silently got up from my chair and walked over so I was standing right behind her back. My hand pushed her hair from her shoulder so my warm breath made contact with the side of her neck. Sookie was halfway through chopping something with a knife. The knife slipped from her fingers at my touch. I was glad to have that reaction from her. I pushed myself closer to her, making sure she could feel exactly how aroused I was at this moment.
"Is now the time and place for this...?" My hand gently ran across the back of her neck. Poor Sookie, she really had no idea what she had awakened in me. I might not have be a vampire at the moment, but that didn't mean my appetite for her had lessened. I leaned in closer so my lips were in close proximity to her neck. I couldn't help but notice the bumps that had broken out over her skin. It seemed I wad some kind of affect on her too. I nuzzled the base of her neck and inhaled her sweet scent.
"Eric..." Her voice was only a whisper. "We can't." She turned to face me.
"And why not, my lover?" My voice was full of need and desire, I couldn't control my arms from going around her and lifting her onto the cupboard behind her. Sookie was surprised to see where she had ended up. My hands untied the belt that was holding her gown closed. I was happy when I had it open. I began to place soft kisses all over the skin of her chest and neck, slowly moving down to take her hard nipples into my mouth. She instantly responded, snaking her around me and pulling me closer. Her lips parted and her head leaned back to allow me easier access to her throat. One of my hands moved up to play with the breast that I didn't have in my mouth. I pinched her nipple a little harder, making her moan for more. Mmm It seemed she liked that. I smiled into her skin, before kissing lightly just above her nipple. Before Sookie could realize what I had done, I bit into her. I didn't bite hard enough to draw blood, but it was hard enough to leave a mark. She gasped out in pure arousal and it was everything I had in me not to remove my pants and enter her right then.
"Eric!" She moaned, while my free hand began to move downwards towards her soft, blonde curls. I growled deeply when my fingers slid into her warm center. Sookie leaned back in my arms and gasped out my name. My mouth remained on her breast, while my hand brought pleasure to her most sensitive area. I allowed my thumb to play with her swollen nub, while my fingers found their own rhythm inside her. Sookie's nails dug deep into my back as she rocked against me.
"Come for me Sookie..." I purred in her ear. This only caused her to yell even louder. I couldn't help but hope that Mr Compton was outside listening to our little show. I felt my smile grow when I thought of the noises he would be hearing. I wouldn't tell Sookie how good vampire hearing really was, there are some things she doesn't need to know.
"Eric...please!" She gasped, while she continued to rock against my hand.
"What do you want, lover?" I whispered in her ear, I made sure my breath hit the tender spot that always caused her to shiver.
"Take me...I'm yours!" What was she saying? My heart gained speed at her words. Sookie didn't know what those words did to me. I drew my fingers out of her, and picked her up from the bench top. Sookie whimpered at the loss of contact. I carried my lover into the living room and placed her down on the large sofa. Before she even knew what was going on I was on my knees, kneeling in front of her. Sookie instantly opened her legs and allowed me between them. I smiled as I began to place kisses up and down her warm thigh. I lifted her leg and placed it over my shoulder and then allowed myself a moment to take in the beautiful view in front of me.
"Eric...hurry," Sookie demanded. Her hands snaked through my hair as she relaxed back on the lounge. I gently pulled her hips forward so it would be easier for me to reach her. I placed one last long kiss on the inside of her thigh, before finally bringing my tongue to her center. I moaned at how good she tasted. Her juices were better than anything I had ever tried before. My tongue ran along her glistening folds, slowly bringing her pleasure. Sookie screamed and bucked under me. I held her hips tightly, trying to keep her still while I continued to kiss her sensitive area. I surprised Sookie yet again when my fingers slipped back inside her warmth, slowly sliding in and out. Sookie lost everything at that moment. She clawed onto me while her hips began to thrust against my mouth. Seeing Sookie react like this only made me want her more. I pulled my lips back from her center, but made sure to keep my fingers in her. Sookie was gasping and moaning, I knew she couldn't hold on much longer.
"look at me lover." She hesitated, before finally opening her eyes. "I want to see your eyes." Sookie's mouth opened into a perfect circle, while my fingers reached an even deeper spot inside of her. "Come for me Sookie." I purred, right before my lips found her warmth once more. Sure enough, it was only a second later when she reached her finish. A growl rumbled from deep inside my chest as her delicious nectar flooded into my awaiting mouth.
"Eric!" She gave one final gasp, before collapsing back on the lounge. I slowly began to make my way up her body, placing kisses along her stomach and over her breasts. I reached her neck and collar bone and allowed my warm breath to saturate her skin. Sookie was panting and gasping for air, her eyes were closed and her chest was rising and falling with ever breath. I leaned back as I gazed down upon her beautiful, flushed face. Sookie opened her eyes to look at me.
"That was...that was..." She shook her head in disbelief. I smiled at her and urged her lips to find mine. I kissed her with everything I had. My tongue met her own and I knew she could taste her own fluids in my mouth. Her arms snaked around my neck and my hands rested happily on her hips. The kiss continued until we both needed to come up for air. I gave her one last smile, before falling down on the sofa beside her.
A moment later, Sookie leaned into me and began to kiss me softly and tenderly, she trailed kisses down my neck and chest. I could feel myself grow harder with every kiss and touch. I would never get used to the reaction I received from this woman. It was not something I was used to. It was like every nerve in my body was on fire with every touch of her lips or every touch of her soft, gentle hands. "It's your turn..." she murmured, seductively in my ear. The hand that was resting on my chest, moved down and began to unzip my pants. That hand instantly found my erection. Her fingers gripped firmly around my shaft.
"Sookie!" I gasped, while closing my eyes. She smiled into my skin while she found a rhythm with her hand. I couldn't control my hips from moving against her. Nothing in my life could have compared to the feeling of having her touch me like that. Sookie surprised me yet again when she began to move her mouth further down my body. She smiled seductively as she got up and positioned herself between my legs. Her eyes remained locked on mine, as she helped me out of my pants. I lifted my hips off the lounge to make it easier for her to remove them. She wasted no time pulling the jeans off and dropping them on the floor. Her hand remained wrapped around my hardness, while her lips began to kiss, lick and nip at the skin below my navel.
"Are you watching Mr Northman?" I was finding it more than arousing to hear her call me by my last name. If she continued to talk to me like that I was going to explode, literally. It sounded so erotic her mouth. I looked at her and gave her a half smile while I nodded my head to say yes. I could tell Sookie had never done this before. She seemed nervous and anxious about what she was about to do. I ran my hand through her hair, trying to calm her. She gave me one last look of pure heat, before placing a kiss on the end of my penis. Her tongue came out to lick the length of my shaft, before she slowly began to take as much of me into her mouth as what was possible. Her hand remained wrapped around the part of my penis she couldn't fit into her mouth, slowly stroking and bringing me the most amazing pleasure. My hands gently stroked the back of her head while she began to move her lips over me. I could never explain how truly amazing it felt to have Sookie bringing me pleasure like this. I had been waiting a very long time to have this woman. I was finding it hard to believe that this was even happening. Was I dreaming? Because something this good couldn't be real.
I knew when Sookie was starting to get more courageous. She gained speed and began to experiment with her lips and tongue. I couldn't stop looking at the perfect woman kneeling before me. I couldn't believe it was possible to feel so much passion and pleasure from one person. I had slept with many women in my long life; why was this one small, insignificant, inexperienced human, so much better than all of the rest? Wasn't she already appealing enough without having to be so pleasurable? I had no idea what I had done in my life to deserve a moment as good as this.
I could feel my finale coming and I knew it wouldn't be long until I finished. Incoherent words escaped my lips and I held onto the arm of the lounge for support. Sookie moaned around my length, causing me to fall into a deep pool of pure ecstasy. I called out her name as I collapsed back on the lounge. My mind was racing with the aftershocks of what had just happened. I could hardly breathe, I was sweating in every place possible, and my now beating heart felt like it was about to jump straight out of my chest. I would never grow used to this human body.
Sookie placed one last kiss on my chest, before pulling herself up next to me on the lounge. My arm automatically went around her and pulled her into my side. I removed the blanket from the back of the chair and threw it over us. Sookie instantly melted into my embrace. "Wow," She said, sounding breathless. "That was...wow." She was having trouble finding coherent words to use.
"You bring amazing pleasure to me," I stated.
Sookie chuckled, then turned up to look at me. "I could say the same about you."
"I am glad." I kissed her forehead. Sookie smiled, before nestling back into my side. We were quiet for a while, neither of us needing to say anything. After a few minutes Sookie went absolutely rigid beside me. "Are you okay lover?" I stopped my hand movement and waited for her to speak.
"Eric...please tell me Bill wouldn't have heard any of that." She looked up at me with wide eyes. "Please tell me he wouldn't have heard what we just did?" It was everything I had in me not to grin at her like a fool.
"Why, of course not." I looked at her innocently. "Not unless he was listening..." I added.
Sookie jumped up from the chair and shrieked at me, "Oh my god!" she ran her hands through her tousled, blonde hair and gave me a look of pure disgrace. "Oh my goodness, please don't tell me vampires can hear that well!" She gaped at me.
"Vampire's have very good hearing." I nodded. She gave me one last glare, before running out of the room. I continued to sit smugly in the chair. I couldn't help but feel amused by this situation. I didn't see there to be any reason to worry about William Compton listening to us. In fact, I hoped he had heard every single moan of pleasure that had escaped dear Sookie's lips. I smiled at the thought.
SPOV
What was wrong with me? Had I turned into some kind of fang-banging whore? No, I was worse then that...I was a whore! What was I thinking? Now Bill was going to think I was trying to rub Eric in his face. I scolded myself for being so thoughtless. I found some clothes to put on, and put my hair up in a ponytail, before switching off my bedroom light. I was glad to see Eric was clothed when I came back from my room.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" I asked him, while I finally continued my task of cooking us dinner. Tonight I decided to make ravioli. It was simple enough and I was pretty good at cooking it. Eric sat at the table sipping on a drink of soda. His smug smile told me he was quite pleased with himself.
"Did you not enjoy yourself?" Eric questioned, sitting his drink down and folding his legs over on the table. I scolded him and pushed his feet off, before I resumed cooking. "It seemed to me like you enjoyed our little session quite immensely." Of course I enjoyed it! What's not to enjoy when your getting hot and heavy with a sex god?
"Eric, you know I enjoyed it but-" He cut me off.
"Sookie, as long as you enjoyed yourself, what does it matter?" He shrugged. "Compton will get over it." He smiled, a gleam in his eye. If I didn't know better I would have said that Eric had considered this before he made his pass on me. I gritted my teeth and decided not to even ask. I didn't want to know if I was right or not.
"I have to live next to him, he comes into my work all the time and he's my ex boyfriend." I stated. "It's embarrassing!"
"We only did what comes naturally between a man and a woman," Eric stated, shrugging. "And it's not like Compton can hardly comment on any of this."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I sat down and looked at Eric, suddenly interested in what he had to say.
"Lover, Compton has paraded many women around for quite some time. Before he met you he was quite the ladies man." Eric winked at me suggestively. I had never even thought about Bill like that. It had never even crossed my mind to think of all the women Bill had bedded in his long life.
"Ladies man?" I furrowed my brow.
"Indeed. So please don't let it worry you about what he thinks, he is not in a position to be able to talk." I remembered back to the heartless comment he made to me on the front porch. Telling me how quickly I had moved on from him. I couldn't help but feel saddened at his words. He had a way of making me feel guilty, and now that I thought about it Bill had always had a way of making me feel guilty.
"You're right." I nodded at Eric and smiled. "Who cares what he thinks?" I got up from my chair and carried on with dinner. I tried to push Bill from my mind. Didn't I have enough to think about already without having to think about him? Eric got plates out and got us both a drink, while I finished off the cooking. We were completely silent while we stepped around the kitchen. I assumed Eric was giving me time to my thoughts, which I appreciated. The silence was rather comfortable and carefree. I hadn't realized until now how well we got on until that moment. I suddenly realized that maybe Eric really was a good person under all that vampire macho crap. I looked up at him as he was placing our plates on the dinner table. Suddenly it hurt a part of me to imagine him being vampire again. Things would go back to normal. He would resume his position as sheriff and I would go back to being the crazy barmaid. I would be lying if I didn't admit that this realization hurt a small part. I didn't think I was going to like it very much when he went back to Shreveport.
"Sookie?" I was pushed out of my musings when Eric's hand sat on my shoulder. I let out a small yelp and shook myself out of my daze. "Are you okay?" Eric looked slightly amused.
"Yeah...sorry." I smiled at him. "I was just...thinking." I tried not to blush and quickly went on with dishing up our dinner. Eric thanked me for his food, before taking a seat at the table. I sat down in the chair opposite him. We sat in silence for a while before anything was said.
"I'm working tomorrow," I stated, picking up my glass of soda and having a sip.
Eric stopped eating and looked at me. "I don't think you should go."
"What, why?" I really didn't appreciate Eric telling me what to do.
Eric studied me for a moment before saying, "Sookie I think we need to be careful of what's out there. Whatever or whoever took Jason could be looking for you or me."
"What's that got to do with me working?" I raised my brow. "It's not like anyone is going to kidnap me or hurt me while I'm on shift. Sam will be there and so will the other waitresses." I was thankful for Eric's concern, but I wasn't going to let any of this get in the way of work.
"Would you at least allow me to take you and bring you home?" Eric asked, surprising me. The Eric Northman I knew would never ask me for anything. He would make assumptions and he would make decisions; but he would never ask me for what I wanted. I was speechless.
"Eric, evil witches are looking for you, you can't go running around town while their out there." I shook my head.
"I have a disguise, I will pick you up after the bar has closed. No one will even know I was there."
"I'm not going to win this, am I?"
"Nope." He smiled. "Sookie, I may not be vampire, but I can still fight anyone who is looking to harm you."
"What about the vampire guarding my house? why don't they just pick me up and take me home?"
"Do you really trust Bubba to get you there in one piece?" Eric smiled.
I let out a sigh. "Fine, but if anything happens to you, don't blame me!" I collected our plates and washed them in the sink. "Come and dry these." I pointed to the clean dishes. Eric got up from his seat and came to stand beside me. He picked up the towel and began to dry them off. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself at the look on Eric's face. If I had to guess I would say he had never been asked such a job before. I had a feeling this might have been Eric's first time drying dishes. He must have felt my gaze on him, because he turned his head to the side and winked at me. I blushed scarlet, before putting my attention back to my task. Eric couldn't go even a few minutes without teasing or playing. His hands 'subtly' reached out to skim across the top of my leg, or to touch my bum. I kept pushing him away, but that only seemed to make him worse. Eric had really used up the last of my patience when his hand decided to slap me hard on my butt. I yelped out in surprise, then flung him with the soapy water. Eric growled when he looked down to see his now completely drenched clothes.
"Serves you right!" I smiled and emptied the water out of the sink. Before I could even see what he had planned to do, his arms went around me and he flung me over his shoulder. I screamed out and tried to squirm out of his grip, but it was no use. He may not be vampire but his grip was still impressively strong. His hold around me finally loosened when he plopped me down on the sofa lounge. "What was that for?" I asked, shocked.
"That is for making me wet." He stood back and gestured at his now damp clothes. "Wait here while I go and change." He gave me a look that begged me to argue.
I sighed and folded my arms over my chest. "Hurry up then." I smiled at him. Eric surprised me again when he leaned down and placed a long hot kiss on my lips. Just as I was about to respond to the kiss, he pulled away and started towards the hall. "You play unfair!" I pouted.
Eric chuckled but didn't say anything in response. Once he had changed into dry clothes, he found a movie for us to watch (Transformers... Eric's idea.) and we nestled together on the lounge. Just as we were waiting for it to start I turned to look into his deep, blue eyes.
"Thank you." I spoke softly.
"For what, my lover?" His lips turned into a small smile.
"For being such a good distraction," I replied, right before Eric responded with a small, carefree kiss. It made my heart flutter when he touched me. That scared me to death. He pulled back and looked into my eyes. I couldn't bring myself to look away. It seemed like the same moment we had out on the back porch yesterday. It felt like the world around us had disappeared and left only him and me behind. It was like we were in our own little private trance. We were pulled from our staring when the movie came on. I quickly turned myself around to look at the TV, and Eric seemed to move awkwardly in his seat. He did surprise me however by putting his arm around me and pulling me into his chest. I mentally reminded myself not to get used to this. Eric wasn't going to be a warm and loving human for long. He would go back to his position soon. Eric was only enjoying the moment while it was here. I reminded myself to do the same.
