E-POV

I have been sitting in the dress makes studio for three hours and I am ready to go. They are going as Princess for Halloween, that seems like a rather common costume I do not know why they need them custom made. Finally the girls return from the fitting room and I say.

"Pam, drive the car back I shall fly Sookie and I home." We need to spend some time together without Pam's presence in order to make any lasting progress in our relationship if that's what you want to call it. In my eyes it is more like a relationshit, but whatever.

"Yes master." Pam says, she gives Sookie a hug and leaves. I turn to Sookie and say.

"Come." She wraps her hands around my neck and brings my face inches from hers and says.

"I have a better idea." Then she pulls me too her and kisses me, I feel like I'm being consumed by the kiss, then suddenly she releases me and I realize I am standing in my bedroom and she has teleported us home. I am staring stunned, the last time she Popped me somewhere it was the most uncomfortable experience of my life and this time I did not even know it was happening, as if she knew what I was thinking she said.

"Teleportation can be painful for vampires unless you give them something pleasurable to think about while it is happening." She then began to walk away, but I grabbed her wrist and said.

"Will you kiss me again?" She patted my arm and said.

"Maybe someday." She said as she walked over to my dresser and started going through it.

"Umm, what are you doing?" I asked.

"Getting to know you, the quickest way to get to know someone is going through their things. Oh My God! What are these?" She pulled out a pair of hot pink lycra pants, I just shrugged and said.

"It was the 80's everyone was doing it." She laughed and put them back and continued her quest. Once she finished with my dresser she moved onto the closet. I heard she squeal with delight and come out holding my father's long sword (well now it is mine). She handed it to me and said.

"I'll be right back meet me in the back yard!" I remember her saying she likes swords; perhaps this will be an activity that will expedite her opening her legs to me. I walked outside and she came back wearing a pink sports bra and tinny tiny black shorts that I could see the curve of her bottom handing out of and they were so tight there would have been no possible way for her to have been wearing underwear. This woman must be trying to kill me.

"What are we doing?" I asked, not even trying to hide my stare. I mean she is stuck with me now I can look all I want, what is she going to do stake me?

"I have never used a long sword and I want you to teach me how to use a two handed weapon. Niall was always telling me I needed a more lady like weapon but that thing is just bad ass and sexy." Accidental bond or not I think I would want to be with her no matter what, she is perfect… annoying but perfect. Maybe, just maybe I should stop trying to get her to put out and get to know more about her, because everything I have found out so far I have liked and I tend to only want to kill her when I want to fuck her.

"Alright, come here. This Sword will be far too large for you but we can get one that is the proper size made for you soon." I said.

We spent the next four hours with me training her; she was actually quite good despite the fact that the weapon was extremely oversized for her. We were laying in the grass laughing about my reaction to the first time she popped me the night we bonded when she rolled to face me and asked.

"Have you ever loved someone before?" I had to think but then I answered.

"I love Pam and in my human life I loved my mother and my daughter, I also had three sons but we were not close like she and I were."

"Oh I meant like were you ever in love with someone like romance, but it's interesting to know you had kids. Do you miss them?" She asked, well she may or may not like this response but she wanted to get to know me.

"I have never loved a woman in a romantic way before, as for missing my children I made Pam because I felt for a long time she was my Elsa reincarnated and sometimes I still feel that way."

"Was Elsa your daughter?"

"Yes, she was just nine years old when I was turned. I never saw her again after that night… I… I… have regrets about how I left things with her." I said, wishing now that this line of questioning would end.

"Will you tell me what happened; sometimes talking about it can help ease your concerns."

"Sookie, I have never told a single soul what happened the night before I was turned."

"Please? I want to know all of you." What is this woman doing to me?

"Fine, that night I was off to meet and elder of another tribe to barter a marriage for myself. My wife Aude had died a few weeks earlier during child birth. Before I left, Elsa was crying and upset about me leaving because she was still grieving the loss of her mother. I never loved Aude but I respected her. However I needed to find a new wife to tend to the children and the household because I needed to be able to go out and provide for my family. I yelled at her for the first time ever and the last thing I saw as I left the house was her face that looked broken and streaked with tears." I let out a large sigh and waited for her reply, oddly enough I felt better having told someone.

"Eric, you loved her enough to marry another woman you did not love for her well being and she loved you enough to want to have you close during a dark time. Dwell on that the next time you feel guilt." She said, laying her head on my chest and giving me a hug. I don't think I have received a hug in 800 years and that woman did not survive that hug.

"Eric, I'm going to bed so if you want cuddles you should cash in on them now." She got up and walked inside and into my chamber. I walked in behind her and saw the bathroom door closed. I stripped to my underwear per the previous agreement and sat in bed waiting for her. She emerged in a floor length white silk night gown that was in my opinion begging to be destroyed. She got in next to me and curled her back to my body. I tucked her hair from her face and asked.

"Do you still hate me?"

"I never hated you Eric, It could be worse… at least now I know that you have a heart in there somewhere and maybe you could grow to love me. Plus Pam was right you have a huge dick so at least I know I'm not going to spend eternity sexually frustrated." We both laughed at that and talked about a few more mundane things before she drifted off. I spent the rest of my night watching the hypnotizing rise and fall of her beautiful chest and instead of wondering how I can get her to sleep with me; I was wondering how to get her to love me.
