Time frame: Years after "From Dead to Worse"

This is a companion piece following "Family", "Bowling for Vampires", "Leather Underwear", "Reunion" and "Vampire Boogie".

Disclaimer: I don't have any claim on any characters in the Sookie Universe. Please don't sue me. The other characters are my own creation and just wanted to play with them for a while.

A/N: Yes, I know about the major ick factor prevalent in this particular story- can't be helped considering the antagonists I have created. Rest assured that there will be plenty of nice Ally and Bill chapters, but I deemed the creepy ones necessary for the plots I have already outlined. Again, I won't be treading into VC Andrews or even Anne Rice territory on this one so no need to worry.

That being said, I have decided to include a SVM character that I'd never used in my previous stories because he's just way too fun not to have.

Bill is wearing jeans in this chapter. All you Bill lovers, this one's for you.

Enjoy!

Chapter 7

2 weeks ago….

Jason Stackhouse just hit pay dirt.

Sookie had called him and asked him to meet a friend of hers who had a business proposition for him- an extremely lucrative business proposition.

"Um Sook…" he said hesitantly on the phone.

"Jason, she's not a vampire." she replied none too snippy. He looked at his phone as if she had tapped into it and read his mind somehow. As if she heard his thoughts, again, she added, "I'm your sister, Jason. It doesn't take a telepath to know what's rolling around in that head of yours. So are you up for it, or not?"

Well let's look at the facts here: It was a woman, she was rich and she wasn't dead and if it was a friend of his sis, she was probably good looking.

Yup, that pretty much sealed the deal for him.

"Okay, what's her name and what sort of work does she need me for?"

"Her name is Allison McCallen and she'll meet you in front of Bill's place tomorrow morning at eight to discuss the details."

"I'll be there."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following morning he drove to Bill's. As he pulled up he spotted a red Mustang convertible (sweet!) and a black Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (died and gone to heaven) parked out front. Bill's BMW was nowhere to be seen.

Did Bill sell his house?

He steps down from his truck and walks towards the porch. A big ass guy was standing there talking on his cell. He was good looking if you like the tall dark and handsome type, but where's the lady?

"Hi, you must be Jason." says a soft voice from behind him. He turns around to find an extremely hot looking Chinese girl standing there with her hand extended.

He thought her last name was McCallen?

No matter. Okay Stackhouse, time to work your magic...

Now the first thing a man says when greeting a good looking woman will determine how she'll see you from then on. Unfortunately, Jason normally didn't have to worry about speaking when it came to the ladies. A flash of his perfect smile, a flex of his tight buns and arms is usually all it took for them to come a runnin'. They weren't too smart which was just fine with him because he wasn't either. So long as they had a decent body and their original teeth, he was game. This girl was different though. She had the body and the looks but she also looked brainy. He was going to have to say something suave, something smooth, something clever to get her interest. She smiled at him, patiently waiting for him to speak.

Here it goes…

"Jason, yeah that's me. And you're Allison, right?" he said shaking her hand.

Me Tarzan, you Jane. Real swift there, buddy. No chance now.

"Right. Sookie says you are a contractor and you know a few people who specialize in renovating old homes." she continues taking a step forward.

Okay, not bad she's moving closer. Still in the game...

"Yeah, I do. One of which is Alcide Herveaux, Sookie's ex-something or another. I'm surprised she didn't tell you to ask him directly."

"Is he good at his job?"

"Sure."

She bites her lower lip thinking.

God she's cute when she does that.

"Okay, I'll use him but only partly. I want to divide services between a couple of different companies and I want you in charge of them all."

"Um listen Allison…"

"Call me Ally."

"Listen Ally, I'm not sure that I'm the right man for the job. I'm not some big city contractor you know that's used to handling a project of this size…"

She looks at him steadily. "You are part were panther are you not?"

"Yes, but I don't see how that has anything to do…"

"You've managed other people and from what Sookie tells me you are a good and reliable worker."

She takes both of his hands in hers and he nearly gasps when he looks down.

Look at the size of that diamond engagement ring!

"I need someone that I can trust who can do this for me, who doesn't hate supers, and who has the contacts and the know to do this quickly."

She's trying to stroke his ego, which is fine with him, but he's still not sure...

"I was thinking Jason, how about I pay you twenty five grand now and an additional one hundred fifty thousand upon completion? Materials and labor and the other companies will be paid separately of course."

Holy Shit! He just hit the mother load.

His higher brain functions begin to kick in as he began to count dollar signs.

The man comes down and puts his arm around her shoulder. "So honey, I just called one of Eric's lawyers and he'll have the contracts drawn up and sent over today." His eyes fix and Jason's. "When do you think you can start?"

Honey, hmmm.

"I'm not sure, I just went over the terms with Jason." she says as she elbows him in the ribs. Giving her a playful grin and rubbing his side he reaches out to shake his hand.

"Hi, I'm Cole." he says amicably. Jason mumbles his name and gives Cole a firm hand shake.

"So Jason, do you accept the terms?" Cole asks, eyebrow raised.

"I accept."

"Oh thank you." she says throwing her arms around him. He was so caught up in money that he completely ignored her- a first for him.

"Not a problem. Are you and Cole planning to move here after you get married?"

She looked confused for a moment and then laughed turning to give Cole a wink.

"Not exactly."

Bill's POV- Back to the Present...

Soft lips against my skin pull me from my daytime slumber. My eyelids slowly open to find Ally astride me wearing a satin emerald green night gown. The strap falls off her shoulder as she bends to nibble my ear. "I have a surprise for you." she whispers as she slides down my body. Her silky hands against me, her tongue, her teeth, her mouth calling my body in unison. I chanted her name as her beautiful mouth was on me, licking, sucking. Her hands stroked the base as my fingers tangled themselves in her hair pushing her gently to me. She hummed as took in all of me and moved steadily up and down faster and faster until I climaxed in her mouth screaming.

After a few more sucks she moves back up and kisses me, grinning.

"You can surprise me like that anytime, my darling."

She grins wider. "Oh, that wasn't the surprise. That was just 'hello'" she says giving me another quick kiss and jumping off the bed before I can hold her to me. Pulling me up she leads me into the bathroom. "If you are a good boy, I'll take you to your surprise later." she says as she reaches in to turn on the water.

I grin back at her. "Oh, I can be good..." I say darkly pushing her into the shower with her nightgown still on. "But I think you prefer me bad..." Taking the front of her gown I slowly tear it open as my mouth descends on hers in a deep kiss.

Her gown drops onto the shower floor and I pin her against the tile. Looking at me coyly she says with a pout, "Can't I have both?"

I love this woman.

"I like how you think..." I say as I lift her onto me, the water running cold by the time we were through.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ally was practically jumping out of her skin by the time we made it to Bon Temps. Admittedly, I have been neglecting my house there but it didn't bother me as much as it would normally have. I had grown so accustomed to waking with Ally in my arms that sleeping at my house separated from her would be unbearable. She insisted however that we stop over at the house to pick up any mail and check on the property before we head to Merlotte's. She was worried about the recent influx of violent activity surrounding the bar and wanted to be there to help and perhaps gain some clues as to how it was happening. Although I see the logic in her thinking, I dislike her ever growing relationship with Sam. It was too close for my comfort. Then again, any relationship Ally may have would be that way for me, but I'm learning to reign my jealousy in. I trust her, truly, but there is a part of me that wants to keep her with me away from the outside world. It is in my nature to be possessive after all but I really am trying.

I turned to look at her while I drove. She was looking exceptionally pretty tonight in a silk chiffon halter dress that was the color of sunshine. Just looking at her made me think of long languid summers filled with warmth and fragrant embraces. As we made our way around the bend towards my house she placed her hand on my thigh. The closer we got the higher the hand went until she was stroking me over my jeans.

What is this woman trying to do to me?

"I like you in jeans, Bill. They're nice and snug in all the right places." she said, her voice hooded with desire. I put the car in park and closed my eyes as a certain area of my jeans became particularly more snug.

"Had I but known your affinity for them, I would have adopted that look long ago." I said turning to her kissing her long and deep as she continued to stroke me. I smelled her arousal and it was driving me mad with need.

She suddenly pulls away from me and gets out of the car. I get out as well, determined to take her right then and there when I catch something from the corner of my eye.

The house looked brand new like it must have appeared long ago when it was first built. It was breathtaking.

"Surprise." Ally said happily linking her arm with mine.

"You did all of this?" I whispered in awe.

"Not me personally, but yeah I had it redone. I did some research on this house and was able to pull up the original floor plan. I tried to keep it true to the original with certain plumbing and technological upgrades woven in. Come on, let me give you a tour." she said, pulling me up the stairs.

Every room was immaculate, the flooring waxed and polished, the area rugs pristine as if they'd never been walked on. My old furniture and draperies were replaced with new but similar antique pieces. There was a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a Chippendale dining table. All the bedrooms had been redone with fresh, more contemporary linens and furnishings. As we approached the master suite, I turned to Ally.

"This is all so amazing Ally. When did you start doing this?"

"Around two weeks ago."

"Two weeks?" I said in disbelief.

"Believe me you can get a lot done in two weeks. All you have to say is 'money is no object' and poof, you can move mountains." She smiles proudly at me. "Oh, I almost forgot to show you the best part." she says yanking me into the room.

"Now I had to have Pam glamour a few of the workers because I didn't want them to remember where some of your resting places were in the house, but I don't think you'll need them." she draws the curtains to show me the windows. "It's a special glass that some of the fancier vampire hotels use. I had all of the windows in this house replaced with this special glass. Now we can sleep together, always." she says placing her hand against my cheek. I hold her close to me.

"Why would you do all of this, Ally?"

"It's for us, Bill. Once we're married, I want us to live here in the house that's been in your family for generations. I like the idea of being somewhere with so much of your history in it and I want to fill it with more happy memories from here on out. Plus, you REALLY needed central air-conditioning." she adds with a smirk. "So do you like it?"

"Words can not truly describe how much I love this, and how much I love you at this very moment, Ally."

She tilts her head and looks at me, mischievously. "Who needs words?"

I couldn't agree more.

Pressing up against her, we continue from where we had left off in the car. For the next three hours, it was nothing but flesh against flesh, moans and whispers of pleasure and promise as we christened every room in the house with our love.

Oh yes, all the memories we will make...
