Chapter 4

E-POV

We pulled up to the restaurant a short while later and I pulled around to the valet booth. I handed my keys to an overly skinny ginger headed valet. I could tell he was human who was well versed in supe protocol because he averted his eyes from me. I took Sookies hand and ushered her towards the door of the restaurant. I gave pause when she suddenly started laughing, I cocked and eyebrow at her and she said.

"The valet is going to steal the change out of your cup holder. He was particularly excited about the Arizona state quarter because that and Florida are the only two he is missing." I had to laugh at that, had she not told me of it I doubt I would have ever noticed that my pocket change was missing. It's not like I count it just to make sure.

"Well I'm not that concerned about the $2.75 I might have in there, in fact I doubt I would have noticed. I have to give the kid some credit for having the balls to steal from a vampire." She laughed and looked thoughtful for a moment before asking.

"Do you think you should glamour him into never stealing from a vamp again? You know just for his own safety." I laughed again and opened the door for her before saying.

"Yes Dear one, I think that might be best. I will be sure to do it when we leave." I pressed a kiss into her head before confirming our reservation and taking Sookies hand as we were led back to the private room Pam booked for us. Sookie looked impressed at our surroundings when I pulled her chair out for her. We sat in silence for a few moments while we looked at our respective menus. I was hoping that she would not be quite as squeamish as some of my other companions when it comes to me drinking blood.

"Hi Ya'll I'm Dawn and I'll be serving you tonight. Are you ready or would you like some more time?" The waitress burst into the room and was decidedly below the level of professionalism I have come to find from this place. I would hope that she does not become a nuisance. I looked to Sookie who gave me a nod indicating that she is indeed ready so I went first and said.

"I will have a bottle of vegan blend and for my date…" I looked to Sookie who said.

"I'll start with the lobster bisque and also have the prime rib with asparagus and the twice baked potato. Do not put any hollandaise sauce on the asparagus; I am very allergic to lemon. Oh and Iced tea please." She handed Dawn the menu with a smile that looked anything but sincere. After she left with our order I turned to Sookie and asked.

"Dear One is something wrong?" She let out a sigh and said.

"There is no delicate way to put this… she was thinking about how much she would like you to fuck her up the ass and proceeded to play out the whole nasty thing in her mind like a German scat porno. It was disgusting, not something I want to think about right before a meal. Also I am wondering if she washed her hands today." I pursed my lips and tried to stifle the laughter that was threatening to erupt from me. However the effort was wasted because I threw my head back and laughed. Sookie soon joined me and said.

"Eric, it is not funny." I shook my head and willed myself to calm down before I said.

"Yes Lover it is." She crossed her arms in a playful pout and said.

"I hope you're not into that nasty shit, because if you are this date is over." I shook my head with mirth before I schooled myself again before saying.

"Sookie I assure you that ass play has a time and a place, however with a vampires heightened senses the last thing we would want is to be frolicking in shit during sex." It was Sookies turn to laugh now. We both enjoyed a few more moments of laughter before Sookie changed the subject.

"So what do you like to do in your spare time?" I had to think about that for a moment before I answered.

"Honestly I spend a lot of time at my bar just because I have nothing really better to be doing. I like to glamour the humans into doing silly things to amuse myself or anger my progeny Pam. I enjoy reality television, particularly if the humans are injuring themselves in the pursuit of money. I like to swim and soak in the hot tub. I have also been known to put hot dogs on the grill simply because I enjoy the scent. I also have a dog named Tim who used to belong to my late day man Bobby. I took him in after I went to search Bobby's house for pertinent information regarding myself before I turned the property over to his family. The animal had been there for a long time without food and water… I felt… sorry for him because Bobby's death was partially my fault. I took him in and tried to make him a guard dog. However he is extremely trusting and lazy so I'm suspicious that if my home were to ever be robbed he might help the perpetrators carry the TV out." Sookie laughed a little before she asked.

"What kind of Dog is he?" I sighed and said.

"Long haired Chihuahua." She laughed and asked.

"You were trying to make him a guard dog?" I just shrugged my shoulders and said.

"I had high hopes." Just then our meal arrived and I took that moment to find some things out about Sookie.

"So what do you like to do with your time?" She chewed the bite of food in her mouth and said.

"I like to sun bathe that is my favorite. I also enjoy reading… mostly raunchy romance novels though. I'm a bit of a home body because the crowds wreak havoc on my telepathy. I watch tons of movies but very little TV. I have no pets but I would be willing to eat some of those hot dogs for you." I laughed and said.

"That's good; over the years my love of their scent has just become wasteful. Pam has also said that I am a homebody. I however just don't think I'm a people person. The façade I use in the club and in politics is not me; it's what people want to see. It helps me get my way to be well liked. " She looked curious as she took another bite of food and said.

"You make yourself sound like a total ass hole. You have been nothing but nice to me and you seem to dote on Pam." I swirled the blood in my glass and said.

"After 1000 years I have the luxury of being able to pick and choose whom I sincerely give a shit about." Sookie took a drink and batted her eyelashes at me before she asked.

"So you give a shit about me?" I laughed and looked her right in the eye before I said.

"Yes, I Eric Northman give a shit about you." She started fanning herself in an over dramatic manner making me lift and eyebrow.

"Why Mr. Eric Northman that is one of the sweetest things I have ever heard." She drawled in a thick southern accent while she continued to pretend to swoon. I laughed again; this girl had me laughing more in one hour than I possibly had in the last century. I was telling the truth when I said I gave a shit about her. I could feel already that given the right amount of time I could have far greater feelings for this girl than just giving a shit.

"Well if that is the sweetest thing you have ever heard I am just going to have to work harder to show you how special you are because that was not even my B game. Imagine your response if I were to whip out the good stuff." I winked at her and she giggled. I like when she does that. We finished the rest of our meal talking about everything and nothing all at once.

"Are you ready for the second part of the evening?" I asked as we were leaving. I made sure to glamour the valet before he gets himself killed.

"Yes, what did you have in mind?" I smiled at her and said.

"I was thinking we could take in a movie and some dessert." I waggled my eyebrows at her suggestively, but soon noticed the sullen look on her face so I asked.

"Sookie is something wrong? Have I upset you?" I really had no way to explain her shift in mood. I also genuinely had no idea what I had done, but that really meant nothing because I piss Pam off all the time without knowing I'm doing it. She turned to me with a fake smile and said.

"Oh no Eric, I'm fine." We were at a stop light and I turned to her catching her eye and said.

"That's Bullshit, something is wrong. I mentioned the second half of the evening and your mood shifted from excited to upset in an instant and I have no idea what I did wrong." She sighed and I began to move with traffic again. She fidgeted for a few moments before she said.

"I don't like movie theaters because of my telepathy, I get headaches." She was staring in her hands as I pulled into my neighborhood. I simply kept my eyes trained out the window and said.

"I know, I had no intention of taking you to a crowded place." I pulled into my driveway and she just looked at me confused.

"I do not care for movie theaters either, too many strong smells." She still looked confused as I sped around to open her door for her and she said.

"I guess I'm just not following here." I enter the code into the key pad and open the door. She tentatively followed behind me. I opened the fridge and pulled out the two bags of human deserts and grabbed a fork from the drawer. I held it up to her with a smile and she still looked confused, but slightly more at ease now. I grabbed her hand and walked her into my basement and flipped on the light illuminating my movie room. Sookies eyes lit up and she said.

"Wow, this just may be the best date ever." I smiled setting the bags down on a small table next to one of the couches and said.

"Good, perhaps my expert wooing skills will garner me a second date." She laughed and started to inspect the boxes of food. Pulling out what appeared to be a volcano made of chocolate cake and white chocolate lava and said.

"Oh, well you got me chocolate lava cake. By law now I have to give you a second date. So what are we watching?" I put the disk in the player and joined her on the couch snatching the box of food out of her hand so I could feed it to her and said.

"Legally blond, it is Pam's favorite and she recommended it." Sookie bit her lip in a very seductive manned and whispered out.

"It's my favorite also." I smiled and also took the fork from her hand. She let out and indignant whine and said.

"I might not go on that second date with you now that you stole my chocolate." I laughed at her when she huffed and crossed her arms. I opened the box scooping some on the fork and hovering it near her mouth. She smiled and took the bite before she said.

"I really am capable of feeding myself." I fed her another bite before I said.

"I know, I just want to feed you, Lover." She narrowed her eyes and asked.

"So this is an 'I feed you, you feed me' thing?" I laughed and said.

"I had not thought of that, but it can be arranged if you want." I fed her another bite of food as I leaned over and seductively licked her neck. I felt her shudder, that made me smile and I continued.

"I like the intimacy; because of my nature I associate food with intimacy. I have only done this for 2 other women. The first was my human wife Aude, and the second was Pam the night I turned her." Sookie looked at me thoughtfully and asked.

"Did you love your wife?" I was surprised by her question, but I answered truthfully.

"I did very much. She was my brother's wife first, however he died in battle and it was up to me to care for her. However I had been in love with her from before she even married my brother. It was not common to be faithful to a mate in my time; however I wanted none but her then. She had 4 children with my brother 3 of which were without a doubt mine, then we had 4 children of our own after we married, she died shortly after the birth of my only son. Perhaps that is the origin of my soft spot for my progeny. In fact it was her death and the depression I fell into after it that caused me to be caught and turned by my maker." Sookie took my face in her hands and placed a soft light kiss on my lips. She pulled back with a smile resting her head on my chest and whispered.

"Thank you."

"For what?" Whispered back, not wanting to break whatever moment we seem to be having. I am taking note that I just told a woman I hardly know something that I have not even told my own progeny, but she has also never inquired about my relationship with my human wife.

"For trusting me and sharing something so personal." I was sure in that moment that I really could grow to love this woman. Instead of showing me pity, which I would have thrown in her face. She showed me compassion and thanked me for being honest with her.

My lips ached for another kiss from her. I was about to take what I wanted most but I hesitated. I know what Fairy's are like. They are lusty, touchy, feely people. I will not be able to share this woman with another. I want her to ne mine and mine alone. If she cannot give me that, then I will need to let her go because I fear I would kill her if I saw her with another. Sookie was clawing at me and I was still stock still moving ever so slowly back away from her.

"Eric?" She asked, rubbing her tiny little fairy hands on my arms. I looked at her and said.

"I need you to be mine and mine alone. I will not be able to share you with another. I fear I could hurt you if my jealousy got the better of me. I want you to be my mate not a fuck and feed. I will respect you and honor you. I would only allow Pam to rib you so much, but I can't watch her all the time. I will protect you and yours with all that I am, but I need you to be only mine." I was holding her face, searching her eyes for the answers I craved. Her gaze was penetrating me as she said.

"I will be only yours if you are only mine in return." I smiled and said.

"Done." Before capturing her lips and covering her trembling body with my own. Of course I am only hers! Who else could I possibly want? Fangbangers could never compare to her. I am not only enchanted by her body, but also her mind and spirit. I love that she is feisty and willing to put me in my place. I love that she is smart as a whip and willing to banter with me. I need to make love to her right this moment. I don't want to fuck her, I want to care for her and show her how deep my feeling for her run already.

"Sookie, yield to me? Spend the day with me." It was a request, I don't think ordering her would be such a good idea. I was licking and sucking at her neck eagerly awaiting her answer. She was writing against me when she choked out.

"Guahh, yes umm… to both." I smiled and nipped at her, scooping her up and moving to my day chamber at vampire speed, only pausing to get past the locks and reset them. I tossed her playfully onto my bed, growling at her as I crawled to meet her. She was giggling with her finger crooked, beckoning me to come claim her as mine.

I ripped her dress off of her and took in her form. I registered the sound of Tim coming through the dog door into my Day chamber, but choose to ignore it. He has plenty of food and water; I will take him for a walk tomorrow. Right now I am going to ravage my woman. I made short woke of her bra and panties also just before I divested all of my clothes, standing in front of her for just a moment or so, so she could take in the view. I did a couple of thrusts in her direction before I jumped back on top of her giggling form. I love that I can be silly with her.

I was kissing my way down her body when I felt Tim jump on the bed. Honestly I don't care, he sleeps here anyway so it's not like I'm going to kick him out. In fact I was going to totally ignore his presence before he started to lick MY Sookies face. I pushed him away a little and said.

"No Tim, Mine." Sookie laughed at my possessive command and I continued my way down her body. I spread her legs and took a look at my promised land. I used my thumbs to spread her lips inserting my tongue and licking her from stern to bow before sucking on her nub. She was moaning and squirming… then I got a wet warm tongue in the ear. I shifted my eyes to see Tim staring at me, far too close to Sookies vagina for my taste. He licked my face again and I turned my head to him and snapped.

"What?" He was just staring at me like the asshole that he is. Sookie looked down at me taking in the staring contest between me and my dog.

"Eric, why did you stop?" I looked at her and then back to Tim. He looks annoyed at Sookie. I guess it has been just him and me for too long. Oh well he will adjust.

"I need to find something to occupy Tim while I ravage you." I said to her while I looked around the room. My eyes landed on his favorite and most annoying toy that I had set on top of my dresser a few days ago when he refused to stop squeaking it while I was making my calls to the other sheriffs. I grabbed the toy and brought it back to him at Vampire speed. He took it and went to the other side of the bed taking a place on the pillow and chewing on his toy. I smiled at him and said.

"Good boy." I then directed my attention back to Sookie who was giving me an amused face when I said.

"Now, where were we?" I stuck my tongue in her hole and pinched her nub a little before saying.

"Was this it?" I exchanged my tongue for my finger and sucked her nub back into my mouth. She moaned out.

"Oh god yes, we were right there!" I smiled against her and continued to play her like a piano. I was licking sucking and pumping my fingers in and out of her. I felt her walls start to flutter and I knew she was close. I drew her nub into my mouth for a long hard suck and curled my fingers inside of her locating her magic spot. I watched her fall apart around my hand and I greedily lapped up all she had to offer. I slid back up her body capturing her lips with my own. I whispered to her.

"Say it Lover, say that you want me." I was rubbing my tip up and down her slick folds, teasing her so I could hear what I wanted.

"I don't want you." My eyes snapped to her, I was not even trying to cover my hurt. She grabbed me licking up my neck before she finished. "I need you!" That was all I needed to hear. I thrust into her without abandon. She was so warm and tight. I had to pump in and out a few times to allow her to stretch before I could get in all the way to the hilt. I took a moment to look at her face. Her eyes were shut tight and her face was that of pure ecstasy. I gave myself a mental pat on the back before I said.

"Lover, look at me." He eyes snapped open and I brought her to my chest, pressing her tight to my body as I moved in and out of her. Our foreheads were pressed together, our eyes were locked. I was stealing soft loving kisses when I felt her breath hitch. I knew she was close. I leaned us back so she was straddling me and I grasped her hips to help guide her as she moved up and down on me, her juices were cascading out of her and onto my body. I grasped her breasts that were bouncing tauntingly in front of my face and began to twist and pinch her taught, rosy pink nipples. I was getting close so I moved one of my hands between us and started to press firm circles on her nub. I stared deeply into her eyes and said.

"Come for me Lover, come with me." I only pumped into her a few more times before she screamed my name, her orgasm drawing out my own. I sunk my fangs into her firm taught skin and took 2 deep draws before I sealed and healed the marks. She collapsed on my chest, her breathing was heavy. We both took a moment to calm before she spoke.

"Eric?"

"Hmm?" I answered, tracing my fingers up and down her back.

"Did you just fuck me to the rhythm of your dog chewing on his squeak toy?" I simply kissed her and said.

"Maybe." She broke out laughing, but really it's not my fault! Next time you're fucking and there is a rhythmic sound in the background try not to not end up matching that beat. I will have to get Tim a snausage because he set a good rhythm for Daddy.
