Chapter 4

Victor's POV

I left work, beaming my usual smile at everyone I met. The vampires I nodded to, ignored me. The humans smiled back, and said something inane. I couldn't be bothered with any of them. When our plans come to fruition, I will be turned, and won't ever have to consider any of them again, except as a feed and a fuck. I would be King Felipe's second-in-command, and all those vamps who ignored me now, would have to show proper respect.

I might have stayed loyal to the Queen if she had promoted me, as I deserved. But she brought in the pretty boy and put him in, what should have been my office. CPA, my ass! I know everything about running her corporation, I will prove that by bringing it down.

Felipe and I had plans to meet in a shitty bar near the "Cocaine Alley" section of Shreveport. I doubt if any other vamp would be caught dead near here (if one was caught near here, I'm sure he would be finally dead very quickly), so we were careful, but not really afraid that we'd be seen. We both dressed down for the meeting in jeans and tee-shirts. I think if anyone had a mind to notice us, they'd think that we were slumming. But the only thing anyone noticed down here, was their drug of choice.

Felipe was already waiting for me, nursing a bourbon & branch. I ordered the same thing at the bar, and as I stood at the table with him pretending heartfelt greetings, he poured some into my glass at vamp speed, while our bodies blocked any possible view. He'd continue pouring, little by little, until his glass was empty.

"How are things going with your new boss?" Felipe asked, "What's he like?"

"He seems OK. Knows his stuff. Doesn't socialize. At least not with humans," I replied. "He may have something going on with Pam. He spends a lot of time at her desk."

"Not with the Queen?" Felipe pushed.

"No. You know she's called, "The Snow Queen," No one has ever seen her with the same partner for more than one meal. She can afford RM or RB. She seems to have no interest in sex."

"You know that's very unusual for a vampire. Do you think it's an act? Does she have someone hidden away?"

"Of course, I can't be sure, but I don't think so. I've worked late and come in early, trying to catch her, but I haven't in five years. She could have been that kind of icy woman before she was turned, and never changed. Do you know her maker, or anyone we can ask?"

"Her maker is dead, and I don't know anyone who had any contact with her before she showed up in the United States. She seems to be cold, that is all. That is quite a challenge, isn't it?" he leered.

"Not a good idea, Felipe. She has many loyal subjects. That's why we're not starting a war. It's better if she's far away, without any power."

De Castro hissed at me, showing his fangs, "Don't you ever tell me what is, or is not a good idea, human! I am the King of Nevada, and soon I will be the King of Louisiana too! You will address me as such!"

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness. I was only being casual in case we were overheard.

Of course, what ever you decide to do will be best," I started sweating, I don't want to anger Felipe, I have a lot riding on this takeover.

The King quieted down, and his fangs retracted.

"The Queen has Northman going over the books, so it's good that we did the shit the way we did. Everything in the books balance. The only way he could find out anything would be if he went to NOLA, and checked each property. But since there's no irregularities, there's no reason to check," I said smugly. "When will you call the Council?"

"I haven't decided yet. I do not want to wait too long, but I want everything in place before I move."

"If we wait for Northman to sign off on the books, that will be the confirmation we need. Your Majesty may want to move after that."

"Yes...Yes, Victor. Let me know when he finishes his report, I will call the Council soon after that," Felipe said thoughtfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty," I said. It was so easy to keep Felipe happy. I couldn't wait to become vampire.

Queen Sookie's POV

That silly human boy, he thought he was going to seduce me. If we are fated to be together, I don't want to damage his ego. I'll have to play this carefully.

I sped down the stairs with Eric over my shoulder. Not a very feminine thing to do, but the boy was too slow. I was burning for him, and I couldn't wait for his human scruples. I dropped him on the bed and turned on the soft light on the side table. He couldn't see in the dark, yet. Eric looked at me from the bed with surprise, but there was a smile in there too. Yes, I saw it. It didn't bother him, he wants a challenge.

"Did I surprise you?" I asked, as I sat next to him.

"Yes, My Lady. I'd heard that vampires were strong, but I had no idea that you could fly down the stairs carrying me. Did you really fly, or did it just seem that way?"

"Yes, Eric, I flew. That is one of my gifts. Most vampires have at least one, I have several," I answered.

"I've been told that I have a gift also, My Lady. Being that we are about to make love, may I call you 'Sookie'?"

He had the best shit-eating grin, and I couldn't refuse him, even if I'd wanted to. "Of course, Eric, we should be equal in private."

"Good. Sookie, we both have too many clothes on. Come here"

He reached out his long arms as he spoke and pulled me close to him. A current ran through my arm where he touched it, and I crashed my mouth to his. He was ready for it and pushed his tongue into my mouth while I was still moving, as if he couldn't wait. His other hand cradled my head, and when he let go of my arm, his free hand went to my breast, and tweaked my nipple through my clothing.

I hissed, and he looked at me, "That can be a good thing," I whispered.

"You'll let me know when it's not?" he asked.

"Oh yes," I went back to kissing him. His hands were busy unbuttoning my shirt.

He unhooked my bra, and pulled it off along with the shirt. Then his hand moved onto my breast, cupping one then the other while his thumb played with my nipples. He pulled his mouth away from mine and went for one, then moved back and forth between them, sucking my nipples and grazing them with his teeth.

In between the sharp flashes of pleasure from my breasts, I tried to concentrate on getting his pants off. He had already removed my skirt and thong while kissing my breasts. I didn't want to rip his pants off, so I unzipped them and pushed then down past his hips. I felt the lightest silk in my hands, and was glad I didn't ruin them. I pushed his boxers off and I found his gift as it sprang free. Now that we were naked, we slowed down and looked at each other.

"My Sookie," he said, "you are beautiful, perfect."

"Eric, you were well worth waiting for," I whispered,as my eyes caressed him.

He leaned over and kissed me, long and slow, and then slid down the bed, pulling away from my lips, and started kissing down my body. He paid attention to every inch of skin, from my forehead, to my eyelids, my neck, nipping my earlobe and kissing the tip of my nose.

I was beginning to feel very needy. My hands were entangled in his hair. His lips traveled to my collarbone, and down my arms. He kissed and sucked each finger, then skipped to my toes where he did the same. By the time he moved back up my legs I could no longer control myself.

I was moaning and twisting my body trying to find some friction for relief. He used his hands to hold me as he touched the tip of his tongue to my clit. I screamed, and would have come if he hadn't removed his mouth to a little farther down, to my opening.

Using his thumbs to spread me open, he took a long lick, like a lion, looked at me and smiled, "Sookie, you are as delicious as you are beautiful." Then he put his mouth and tongue to work on giving me our best first time together. He sucked and licked, then put his long fingers inside me looking for my g-spot.

When he found it, I almost levitated, gasping, "Eric, please."

"Please what Sookie?" he asked seductively.

"Make me come," I demanded, but it came out sounding closer to begging.

"With pleasure," he hissed, almost as well as I did. He found my clit again with his tongue, in rhythm with his hand, and when I started to come, he put his whole mouth over my clit and gently sucked until my peak had passed. Then he crawled back up my body and took me in his arms, and held me until the tremors stopped.

I looked at his beautiful face and had to kiss that perfect mouth to complete the act. I pulled his head to me and kissed him with everything I had learned in 600 years. If I was human, I think I would have passed out from joy. But since I was vampire, I was ready to start again, and return the pleasure he had given me.

"What would you like, My Lord?" I asked him with a smile, "Mouth or vagina?"

"Can't I have both?" he pouted.

"Greedy man!" I laughed, "Of course."

I had to offer, but I really wanted to feel his Gift inside of me. I could only imagine how far it would go. It seemed he felt the same way. Because after I had taken him into my mouth, and played with his shaft and his balls, even though he was throbbing, he pulled away, and laid me down on the bed next to him.

His hand went to my center and he felt the wetness and heat I was feeling for him. He centered himself over me, and placed his tip at my opening. I tried to raise my hips enough to encompass him, but he kept pulling back, teasing me, and I didn't want to use vampire tricks. Finally, he slowly entered me. He filled me until I missed nothing. He filled my empty places, and he fit as though he was made for me.

He moved slowly as I adjusted to his size, but as soon as I started to speed up, he responded with vigor. He picked up my hips, and it felt like he had reached straight to my heart. I could feel him throbbing, expanding and getting harder, as our speed increased. I was also nearing a second orgasm. I tried to adjust it so we'd come together, but he tilted me a little more and hit my g-spot again, and I started coming immediately.

"Look at me Sookie," he gasped. I opened my eyes and looked into his, then his moment came and he couldn't control his eyes either. He called my name and pounded into me as he came.

I could feel him spend inside me and I came again as he finished. I asked him, softly, "Eric, may I bite you?"

"Of course, Sookie, that's part of you too," he answered with a kiss.

I kissed his neck, and then bit as delicately as I could. His blood tasted delicious; rich, and sweet. So sweet for such a big man, I felt I could almost remember it. As I drank, I started moving against his thigh.

He moved his hand to take its place and put two fingers inside me, and his thumb over my clit. He hardly needed to touch me as I came again, full of him in my mouth and center.

He was getting hard, so I stopped the blood flow, and moved my mouth to his Gift. I knew better what pleased him, and it didn't take long to bring him off again. I was sated, and I hoped he was too.

He curled around me and held me close. "My Sookie, I need to take a nap," He almost yawned. "What time is it?"

"It's only midnight, Eric, I have work to do, and I won't sleep until dawn," I said softly.

"I won't sleep long. I still have to make my report to the Queen," he kissed my hair, and fell asleep.

A/N: Reviews are gifts, though not like Eric's. I wish.
