Chapter 4

Sookie woke up to the sound of her alarm. 'Darn thing' she said out loud. She remembered where she was, what she did the night before and with whom. Blushing from head to toe she realized how sore she was. Her body felt like it just ran a marathon but she felt wonderful. Would she be able to walk after what she and Eric did together? Giggling, she turned the alarm off, got out of the bed, headed to the bathroom to take care of things then headed to the kitchen to start the coffee pot. She needed coffee in a serious way but she dead stopped. Propped up against her coffee maker was a note with her name written across the front of it. She stood and stared at it afraid to touch it. The handwriting was delicate and beautiful. Curiosity got the best of her so she switched the coffee pot on and headed to the table to read what he had written to her.

My lover,

I am saddened to be leaving you this night.

I can't wait to see your beautiful face tomorrow.

Here is my cell number. Also, here is my day mans Bobby's number is you need anything. Don't hesitate to call either of us if you need me.

Until tonight

Yours,

~E~

Her heart stopped she knew it did. She had to be dreaming. Taking the note and holding it to her chest she hugged it like she wanted to hold him in her arms at that moment. Could he be any sweeter? Setting the note down she went to the coffee pot pouring a cup, drinking it down, pouring another cup than heading to her room to get ready for the day. Today she was choosing navy blue slacks, a light off white sweater, navy blue ballet flats and her hair up in a high pony tail. After about 30 minutes she was dressed and ready to face the day. She grabbed her purse, keys, cell phone then headed off to the book store. When she reached it Tara had already beaten her there. Tara was not a giddy girl but today she was definitely giddy. She stood in the doorway bouncing from the excitement. "Ok girl, tell me everything. Don't leave out one thing or I will kill you!"

Sookie couldn't help but laugh at her long time friend. "Nothing to tell now get back to work."

Tara knew she was lying then followed Sookie to the office hot on her heals. "Come on Sook. You have to tell me. I have no love life so you have to share details. That's the deal we made when we were 14 we would tell each other everything! Spill it!" And so she did. She told Tara about the dinner, the property, his kisses, his butt, his words, his making love to her, his note. She left out nothing. Tara stood with her mouth gapped open. This was her friend Sookie, she didn't have sex. She didn't date. In 48 hours she went from meeting this sexy vampire to sleeping with the sexy vampire. Tara was thrilled for her. "I am so happy for ya. You deserve to be happy. Just know if he hurts you Jason, Sam and I will take turns kicking his already dead ass. Just saying."

Sookie laughed again. "Thanks Tara. I know I can always count on you to come through for me. Ok, let's get to work, ok?"

The day flew by so quickly. Sookie spent hours reorganizing shelves of books, talking to customers, browsing herself from time to time reading the latest book about dating modern vampires and all there was to know. She found it interesting and a bit creepy at the same time. It was almost 6 o'clock before she knew it. She felt her phone chime in her pocket she grabbing it to check who was texting her. She was surprised by the message and the sender. Eric.

Eric: Lover how is your day going?

Reply: Fine. How did you sleep? Are you up for the day?

Eric: Slept like the dead J Yes. Do you miss me?

Reply: Who is this again? LOL

Eric: I think you need a spanking Miss Stackhouse

Reply: Don't you wish! Nasty! GTG, I am working here!

Eric: Tease. I will see you very soon

Sookie put her phone back in her pocket while laughing at Eric's last message. He really was funny. Another hour went by when the bell on the door alerted everyone there was a patron in the store. Problem being that it wasn't the average patron. It was the Viking Sex God who came in to make her heart stop. He stood in the doorway his hair a bit windblown with jeans, boots, a red Fangtasia t-shirt and a black leather coat. He was gorgeous. The browsers of the store stopped what they were doing to look his direction. Tara came out from around the counter to look at him as well. Sookie high tailed it towards him. He was smiling from ear to ear at her. He took Sookie's breath away with that smile. He bent down to her when she got close, pulled her to him and planted the world's best kiss on her. If Eric didn't have hold of her she would have fallen to the floor in a huge puddle. When he released her she turned to see Tara was still standing in the same spot staring at them. Sookie swatted him on the chest, took his hand while telling him to behave then pulled him to where Tara stood. "Tara, this is Eric. Eric this is my best friend and partner Tara." Tara couldn't do anything but bob her head up and down and grunt. Yeah, he had that effect on a girl.

"Nice to meet you Tara but if you will excuse us I need to speak to Sookie in private. I am in need of a special book only she can supply me with. Sookie, where can we have some privacy?" She looked confused for a moment then snapped out of, still holding his hand and led him to the office. He closed the door behind them. He grabbed her by the waist, pulled her to him again and began kissing her with more skill then she knew he possessed.

After breaking the kiss Eric was staring at her smiling. "Dear one, you didn't mention the name of your book store to me before. Poetic Edda? You know the literature is from my homeland?"

"Oh, right! I completely forgot. Tara and I read it when we were teenagers. When we were kicking names around for the store I had to have this one. You like it then?"

"Yes it is one more reason to adore you. Now, I must ask something of you." He looked so serious.

Sookie took a step back preparing for something uncomfortable. "What would that be Eric?"

"Sookie, I need you to accompany me to Fangtasia tonight. Not too long of course then we may leave and enjoy the rest of the evening. I have been teasing Pam for two days now and if I don't show up with you tonight I think she might stake me in my sleep. She thinks I was lying when I told her I went on date. I am looking forward to seeing her angrier than she was last night. Please Sookie." He looked like a teenage who wanted to go out and tee pee someone's house. How could she refuse him?

"Let me go tell Tara I am leaving and grab my stuff. Okay?" He was smiling again.

They exited the back door of the book store to walk around to the employee entrance of Fangtasia. Eric held her closely to him by her waist the entire time, causally kissing the top of her head as they walked. Reaching the door he opened it, let her in first then followed behind her.

Within seconds the blonde vampire she remembered from the days of negotiating the lease of the book store stood before them. "Master. I see you have brought our little shop keeper to us this evening. Is all well with your structure Miss Stackhouse?" Sookie couldn't help but giggle.

Ok, Eric definitely was going to have too much fun on her account. "Yes, Pam it is fine, thank you."

Eric took Sookie's hand, stepped around Pam and headed toward his office with Pam walking closely behind. She was sniffing the air, staring holes into Eric like no tomorrow while obviously slighted by Eric's behavior to her. "Eric! Is there something you need to tell me?" She stood in front of his desk, dressed to impress each and every fangbanger that would happen to come into Fangtasia tonight. She was stunning even in her work attire.

"This is my date, the one I mentioned to you on the phone last night. You so rudely hung up on me last night I only felt it necessary to bring her to you to prove I was not lying to you as you accused me of doing. I know you know her but I wanted to let you know I wasn't out draining the neighborhood dry without you. Instead we spent the evening enjoying each other's company, a couple of times." He looked like the devil reincarnated with that sly grin on his face.

"Eric!" Sookie wanted to climb under the couch.

"She is delectable Master. I am detecting a hint of…is it, fae? May I?" Pam was purring.

"Not on all you hold sacred Pamela. No and I mean it." His tone and the scary growl emanating from him said he did mean it. Eric was looking at Sookie strangely at what Pam had just said. Pam looked like he took her favorite toy from her, sat roughly on the other end of the couch to pout. "Yes Master" was all she said.

Tearing his gaze off of Sookie's face Eric sat at his desk, ruffled through some papers sitting in front of him, clicked the mouse of his computer so quickly Sookie wasn't sure if that was what he was doing. He took his phone out of his pocket started typing for a few minutes. He made a couple phone calls each one was in a different language by the sounds of it. Sookie was shocked. If she could get that much done in the small amount of time she would take the rest of the week off. Pam turned her body slightly to be able to look at Sookie fully now. She looked intrigued like Sookie was a puzzle she needed to figure out. Sookie wanted her to go back to the bar or wherever so she could ask Eric what Pam meant by calling her fae. What is a fae and what did it have to do with her? Pam must have grown tired of looking at her when she stood, walked to Eric's desk, took the papers he had signed then walked out the office with exceptional grace while wearing 5 inch designer shoes.

Eric put his cell phone back into his pocket, looked to Sookie then raised his hand crooking his finger to indicate for her to come to him. She giggled for a few moments then got up to go to him. Before she knew it he had grabbed her to pull into his lap. She was dizzy from the speed of which he moved. "Nasty!" was all she could muster.

"You are too far away lover. I want you next to me. I can't have you sitting all the way over there while I am here. Now can I?" He whispered into her ear. He began kissing her neck slowly with soft kisses that sent signals to the southern regions of her body. It felt incredible. Eric's hands began making their way up her sweater while Sookie wrapped her arms around his neck kissing his face all over. Eric's fangs popped out with the first kiss. Sookie thought it was sexy and scary all at the same time. She ran her tongue over each of them making Eric growl.

"Eric, sweetie, I thought you said we were headed somewhere tonight." Sookie was trying to get his attention. His eyes had glazed over not hearing anything but the sounds of her breath because he didn't answer her. "Eric."

He stopped to look at her this time. "Yes lover? I did plan on taking you out tonight. Unless you would rather stay here we might just be able to find something entertaining here to do instead." He was grinning.

"No I think we better get out of here to get some air before we do something we shouldn't be doing in your office. Alright?" Eric lifted her up, both arranged their disheveled clothing then took her hand to lead her out the same door they came in through earlier.
