A/N: As promised because I got so many reviews I am posting the next chapter which is wayyyyy shorter than the last, but it is an update nonetheless. Eric is in this chapter of course and I can definitely promise that there will be MATURE in the next chapter after this one. I am sorry for leaving you hanging and I am having serious doubts about this chapter and personally I think it sucks...which sucks in it self lol but here it is anyway. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I was greeted by the sounds of female moans and the sounds lead my eyes to the brunette draped across Eric's desk. She was lying with her body facing Eric as he sat in his chair behind his desk, she was lying backward, her upper body hanging over the edge of the desk facing me as she gasped and moaned with her eyes closed. All I could see of Eric was his bent upper body and his face pressed in-between her thighs. I felt anger burn through me with an unbelievable intensity and my fist clenched. Suddenly the door slammed shut behind me out of nowhere making me gasp and the brunette on the desk sat up on her elbows with a gasp.

"Eric!" The girl screeched.

Eric removed his head from between her thighs at the call of his name and sat up straight looking at her first before his eyes followed hers and he was gazing at me. I could see the way his face fell just the slightest of an inch, no one else would have noticed, but I was gazing at him intently.

I swallowed back my sobs and blinked back tears as I opened the door before stepping through. I shut the door behind me and turned on my heels, heading quickly for the entrance, putting up my mental block for those I had already touched and ignoring the images I got from those I hadn't. I pushed through the crowd, forgetting about Jason and everything else. I was furious, more so than I had ever been in my entire life. I felt like an idiot for actually thinking that Eric Northman could be a decent man-vampire-whatever! And if I never saw him again I wouldn't care.

The tears got the better of me and I let them fall freely down my face as I burst through the entrance door past Pam and the few people outside the building before heading to my car which was parked in the rear of the building. I was passing the dumpsters when I felt a cold hand grab my arm and I let out a surprised scream. A hand quickly covered my mouth and I was pushed into the back wall of the building. I looked up quickly and found that it was Eric holding me against the wall with one hand and the other over my mouth. I shoved against him as hard as I could and found that he was actually forced to step back.

"You are such a jerk!" I shouted at him.

"Hello to you too, Chase," he replied with a smirk as he recovered quickly. He was wearing dark jeans and a tank top and as usual he looked delicious. His blue eyes seemed bright as ever and his hair looked like soft velvet. I could see the muscles of his arms beneath his pale skin perfectly. I shivered as want crept through me and I saw the smile on his face widen as I remembered what Sookie had said. He was able to feel my emotions now, which meant he felt my want for him which made the anger on my face completely useless. He knew that despite my show of anger I still wanted him. I got more pissed.

"Get out of my way," I said through clenched teeth as I glared at him.

"I was not expecting you for another hour," he replied calmly.

I huffed. "Oh I'm sorry that I interrupted your little…your…your…" I trailed off I truly didn't know what I had seen. I grew angrier as I found no words to describe it. "Whatever the hell that was, but I was told to come here by your fang banging flunky. And now I see that it was a mistake so please get the hell out of my way Eric!"

I brushed past him angrily and was heading for my car when he grabbed my arm and turned me back around to face him. I tried to push him away again and he gripped my arm firmly as he slammed me into the wall again. Pain erupted through my back and I groaned as I glared up at him. "What you saw, Chase, was me enjoying my evening meal," he answered still calm. I was getting real annoyed by that. How could he remain so calm when I was so livid?

I huffed again and pushed him away from me and this time he kept some distance. "Your face was in between her legs Eric!"

He chuckled and shook his head. "Jealousy is unbecoming on you, Chase."

"Screw you," I replied with a frown.

"I was drinking from her femoral artery. The blood flows more easily so there is less effort to be made on my part. I was feeding, nothing more than that," he said seriously looking into my eyes.

My face fell a little as I looked up at him and suddenly I felt like an idiot for putting on that display of jealousy like that. I honestly had no right to be mad anyway, he was not my boyfriend or anything. Just because he had given me his blood we were supposed to be in a relationship or something? I shook my head before putting it in my hands and letting out a heavy sigh. I was making a fool of myself with him and I was getting sick of it. I didn't know where we stood or what he expected of me now that I had taken in his blood, and it was really confusing and irritating.

"What do you want from me?" I asked looking back up at him and putting my hands on my hips.

He stared at me for a moment with a small smile on his lips. "Do you want the appropriate answer or the inappropriate answer?" he questioned.

I raised an eyebrow. "Eric! I am being serious!" I yelled making him chuckle again.

"For now Chase I would like an apology for your assumption and for you to calm down…then we can go from there," he said softly. Something flashed across his blue eyes and it made me hesitate, but I sighed. I didn't know what it was, some emotion that came and went to fast for me to realize what it was.

"Do you always do that?" I asked instead.

"Do I always do what?" he replied tilting his head as he raised one eyebrow.

"Feed from humans?"

He didn't hesitate as he answered. "Yes. I prefer fresh human blood rather than synthetic blood. Trublood does not fit my tastes, but if necessary I will drink it," he answered. "But there is always a human willing to let me feed."

I frowned at him. "You mean women?"

"Men as well, but it is rare that I feed from them these days," he answered with a slight shrug. "Does it matter?"

I huffed. "Well I didn't walk in and find you with your head in between some guy's legs now did I?"

He surprised me as he stepped closer to me, towering over me as my heart skipped a beat. I stepped back on impulse until I found my back pressed against the wall again and I was officially trapped. I looked up into his blue eyes as my breathing stopped and a rush of heat swarmed through me. I wanted him and if I didn't have any sense of values and morals and respect I would have tried to rip his clothes off and take him right then and there. But I was raised as a good girl, and kept my hands to myself even though he was looking at me with his lusty blue eyes that showed me that he wanted me just as much as I wanted him.

"Chase, are you unhappy with my eating habits?" he asked me softly.

I opened my mouth to tell him 'no', but that would be a lie. I was unhappy with his eating habits and by that I meant those he fed on. It made me jealous, which he already knew. I shook my head, god what was happening to me? I was getting all worked up over a vampire who had just barged into my life and fed me his blood and turned me into some love sick jealous sex starved person.

"Eric," I said with a frown as my fists clenched and the feeling of doubt and nervousness left me. I had come to tell him thank you and that is what I intended to do. I had to stop acting like a jealous teenage girlfriend. "I don't care about your eating habits, nor are they really any of my business. I came to talk about last night…"

He frowned and I saw his jaw clenched. "Justin is being searched for, and when he is found I intend to make him pay for harming you and going against vampire laws," he answered slowly. "I will be having someone watch over you at night to make sure he does not attack again."

I shook my head. "That is not what I am talking about," I replied. "I am talking about…the other thing…"

He raised an eyebrow at me and a small smile played at his lips. "You mean when I gave you my blood?"

I nodded. "Yes…"

"What about it?"

I hesitated as I looked into his blue eyes, suddenly calm now. "What happened to me…? After I mean…Ginger said I…I freaked out…"

He lifted his chin as he looked down at me, the first time I had ever seen Eric Northman hesitate. "I don't know, Chase," he admitted. "I have never seen that reaction in a human before after ingesting vampire blood…I suppose it has something to do with you being a telepath."

"Did you drink my blood?" I asked him.

I saw his jaw clench. "I tasted it as I licked your wound to heal it…but no I did not ingest anymore than that."

I hesitated again and looked away from him for a long moment, trying to process all the information. When I finally looked up at him, I felt a swarm of emotions rush through me and I began to speak without really thinking about what was going to come out of my mouth."You were there for me in a way that no one else would have been able to be and for that I just have to say…Thank you for saving my life," I said slowly. "I would have died that night if you hadn't…given me your blood…and I am not entirely sure what it means that your blood is in my system, but I owe you…and I have a feeling that you are going to try and cash in that debt soon, but until then you will just have to settle for two words. Thank you."

I brushed past him quickly then, not bothering to wait for a reaction or response. I wanted to go home and didn't truly know why I was so eager to get out his presence. Was it because I had just opened up to him a little? Or was it something else? I just prayed that he wouldn't follow and was somewhat surprised when he did not. I unlocked my car and climbed in. I started my car and was about to pull out of the parking spot when my driver side door opened. I let out a small yelp until I realized that it was Eric and he reached into the car and unbuckled my seatbelt before yanking me out. I opened my mouth to question his actions when he shut my car door and slammed me into the side of my car, his body pressing into mine. I sighed in longing and looked up into his blue eyes for the mere second he allowed it before his mouth was on mine.

I could taste the blood on his tongue, but I soaked it in as my tongue massaged his and I moaned into his mouth. His hands gripped my hips roughly pulling me even closer as if he were trying to meld our bodies together. Heat boiled through me and liquid poured from me as I received the best kiss I had ever gotten in my entire life. I realized just what was happening to me in that moment as I continued to kiss him and gripped the material of his shirt. I was falling for him whether I was ready to or not and there was probably nothing I could do to stop it. Just like he said the first night we met, I would be his and there was nothing I could do about it.

His hand was squeezing my breast as the metal of my car dug into my back as he pressed his body hard against mine. I could feel nearly every inch of his cold hard body and I was filling with want and need so quickly that I felt like a fog was coming over my brain. I forgot suddenly that we were in a parking lot against my car where anyone could see and I only became concerned with him, and him taking me right where we were. But it wasn't right. This wasn't how it was supposed to go

I finally pulled away to catch my breath as I looked up into his eyes. "I…think I should go," I whispered as he reached up to caress my cheek with cold fingers.

He shook his head. "No…you should stay," he said looking deeply into my eyes. I only stared back at him as he continued to look deeply into my eyes. "You should stay…and come home with me," he said as if it was a suggestion, but I knew it was somewhat of an order.

I frowned. "Eric, are you trying to glamour me?"

His face fell slightly and he looked taken aback by my statement. I immediately knew that he had been trying and crossed my arms as my frown deepened. "You were!" I huffed.

"You cannot be glamoured," he said as if it were more of a realization.

"Apparently not," I replied. "And why in the hell would you even try?"

"Why can you not be glamoured?" he asked it this time.

"I don't know," I replied hesitantly. "And…again, why the hell would you even try? Were you trying to glamour me into sleeping with you?"

He said nothing in response and I let out a heavy sigh. "Just when I start to think you can actually be a nice person-or vampire, you try and glamour me to get me to have sex with you," I said angrily shaking my head. I pushed against his hard chest making him step back so I could open my car door.

"Chase," he started.

"No!" I said looking back at him before I slid into the car. "I will have sex when I am good and ready and not a moment sooner dammit!"

I slid into the car and shut the door, turning the key quickly so that the engine started. I popped the car in reverse and back out quickly being careful to not hit him before speeding out of the parking lot. I could see him still standing where I had left him in the rearview mirror and sighed as I exited the parking lot and headed towards home. He really did have a way of ruining every good moment that I had with him.

I drove in silence all the way home, not bothering to listen to the radio or anything. I wanted to try and enjoy a few moments of silence and try and process all the changes that had happened to me in a matter of days. It seemed like my whole normal world was shattering around me and reassembling itself in a whole new way that I wasn't too sure that I liked. I was being stalked by a vampire that almost killed me and because of it I had the blood of a thousand year old vampire running through my system. Everything was just shitty.

I finally reached home and hesitated as I parked my car. I had almost forgotten that Justin was probably still watching me, waiting for the perfect chance to strike and kill me like he had planned. He probably was going to torture me now just for hurting him and I had just made the dumb mistake of coming home alone. I thought better against getting out of my car and turned the key in the ignition about to leave and go anywhere, but stay home in my empty house when someone knocked on my car window. I jumped and screamed turning my head and expecting to see a vampire and saw my brother instead. My face fell in surprise and I turned my car off before pushing the car door open.

"Isaac," I said jumping into his arms, making him drop his duffel bag. I was so relieved to see that it was him and not the vampire who was trying to kill me that I actually wanted to hug him. "Oh my god, I am so happy to see you!"

I felt him tense, but he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me for a moment, before pulling back to look me in the eye. He was frowning. "Chase, what the hell happened to you? Didn't mom tell you to pick me up from the airport?" he asked.

I hesitated and pulled away from him. Had it been three days already since my parents left? I counted back and realized it hadn't. "I thought…you weren't going to be here till tomorrow?" I asked.

"I caught an earlier flight because mom and dad were worried about you. She said she would call you and tell you to pick me up," he said putting his hands on his hips.

I sighed and reached into my pocket for my phone. I had eight missed calls and five voicemails. I sighed again and hugged my brother once more making him tense again. "I am so sorry, Isaac. I have just been so out of it lately with…everything that's going on," I felt tears brimming my eyes and had to choke back a sob.

He rewrapped his arms around me and gave me another squeeze. "Chase…are you alright?" he asked me sounding serious.

I pulled away from him and wiped at my eyes. "Yeah…I just…have had a long week. Please come inside. I'm sorry I didn't pick you up," I said heading for the door. "How did you get here?"

He picked up his large duffel bag and a backpack, slinging them over his shoulders before heading up the porch after me. "I called a cab when you didn't come after an hour. I tried to call you, but you didn't answer and-."

I turned around as he stopped midsentence and found his grey eyes on the floor. I followed his gaze and saw a red stain on the porch and assumed it must have been my blood. He looked at me next with a curious gaze and I blushed slightly.

"I cut myself the other day," I said quickly. "I must have bled a little bit on the way in the house."

He nodded slowly as he looked at me with a slight frown before I opened the door and let him inside. I went in after him and shut the door behind us as I clicked on the lights. I heard my brother drop his bags behind me as I turned to him and motioned around the living room.

I sighed. "Home sweet home."

My brother huffed as he smirked. "Yeah, I see….which room is mine?"

I hesitated as I pointed down the hallway. "The third door on the right is mine…the one next to it is Cassandra's and the other is an empty guest room," I answered. "You can have your pick between her room and the guest room, but the guest room is empty."

He looked at me with a slight frown. "The guest room has no furniture?" he asked.

I shook my head. "Me and Cassandra were hoping to find another roommate," I said with a shrug. "Just never got around to it…and now she is…" I broke off and reached up to wipe my eyes on impulse.

"I'm gonna take the couch till I can get some furniture for the guest room," he said with a nod before looking away from me. "I don't…want to take her room…or sleep in her old bed…"

I nodded quickly. "Yeah sure…of course. I understand," I replied. "You hungry?"

He shook his head. "Nah…I am just kind of beat from the plane ride…you mind if I hit the hay?"

"Oh…yeah…sure," I said nodding again. "Go ahead and get relaxed. I am going to go to bed too. I have to work tomorrow…but we can catch up tomorrow and I can show you around the town and what not before I go."

"Yeah…sure…sounds like a plan," he said with a slight nod.

"Okay…the bathroom is right there," I said pointing to the door. "And if you need me…I'll be in my room."

He nodded again and I headed for my room, shutting my bedroom door behind me and flicking on the lights. I jumped and let out a small yelp when I saw Eric sitting on my bed, legs extended and arms crossed over his chest as he leaned back against my headboard. I frowned at him putting my hand over my chest to calm my pumping heart when I heard a knock on the door.

"Chase?" My brother called from outside the door. I turned quickly and pressed myself against it so he couldn't open it. "You alright in there?"

"Yes, Isaac…I'm fine…I just uh…saw a…bug, but I killed it," I said with a sigh as I looked back over my shoulder at Eric. His smile widened.

"Okay," Isaac replied hesitantly. I heard his footsteps walking away softly and turned completely back toward Eric.

"Have you lost your ever loving mind?!" I hissed quietly as I stalked towards him and leaned in close so I could whisper.

"No, Ms. Morgan, I have not," he replied in an equally quiet tone. "I told you that until Justin is found someone will be guarding you at night and tonight that someone is me."

My frown deepened. "Eric, my brother is here alright? I am safe. You have to leave."

"No."

"No?" I put my hands on my hips. "What the hell do you mean 'no'?"

"No as in I am not leaving," he replied calmly.

"Eric!"

"Chase."

"I am serious, Eric."

"As am I, Chase."

"My brother cannot catch you in here," I said trying to sound serious. "He probably already thinks I am some fang banger. If he finds out I have a vampire in my bedroom he is going to have a heart attack. And not to mention probably tell my parents and then they will have a heart attack!"

"He will not catch me," Eric replied with a smile. "I am very fast, remember?"

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine…but keep your damn hands to yourself and don't talk."

"As you wish," Eric said bowing his head.

"And don't think that just because you are here that I am not mad at you anymore," I said crossing my arms.

"I don't."

"I am going to go take a shower."

"Have fun."

I glared at him as I grabbed my towel from where I left it this morning and headed for the bathroom. I made sure to shut and lock the door behind me. I took my time in the shower trying to wash away the day before climbing out and frowning when I realized I had forgotten to bring in my pajamas. I wrapped a towel around myself and unlocked the bathroom door, pulling it open to find Eric sitting in the same position that I had left him. I could see his jaw clench as I stepped out of the bathroom still dripping wet with my towel around myself, before a smile spread across his face.

"I do believe you are being a tease, Chase," he said looking at me those deep blue eyes.

I suppressed the urge to jump him and headed for my closet instead. "Shut up, Eric," I mumbled pulling the doors open and pulling out a pair of sweats and a tank. I made sure not to make eye contact with him as I headed for the bathroom and shut the door again. I changed and brushed my hair and teeth before heading out of the bathroom again and turning off the lights. I locked my bedroom door before walking toward the bed and gazing at Eric through the moonlight.

"I don't want to play any games with you, Eric," I said with a sigh. "I just want to sleep."

He didn't move or say anything for a second and then in the blink of an eye he was off my bed and in my desk chair. "Understood," he said with a nod.

I climbed into my bed and pulled the covers over myself before rolling over to face the opposite direction of him. I hadn't felt tired at all until that moment as I laid my head on my pillow and a yawn escaped my lips. I glanced at my clock and saw that it was only fifteen minutes after midnight. That meant that he would just be sitting there watching me for the next four hours at least. I put that at the back of my mind and shut my eyes embracing the darkness.

I didn't know how long I slept for, but when I woke up again it was with a gasp as I sat straight up. I was covered in a cold sweat and almost instantly Eric was on the bed beside me. I was panting as I looked at him, barely able to see his face in the darkness of my bedroom.

"Are you alright?" he asked me softly.

I shook my head and swallowed hard, running a hand through my sweat soaked hair before I lay back down. I grabbed his arm and pulled; he didn't resist me and fell into a laying position next to me. I moved his arm so that it was wrapped around me and turned so that I was facing him. He didn't say a word as I scooted closer so there was no space between us and I pressed my face into his cold, still chest. I had no idea what I had been dreaming about, but there was a fear in my stomach that I just couldn't shake. I knew I scared easily, but it felt as if my worst fear had occurred in my dream and even though I was awake and could not remember, my body was still feeling it. I shut my eyes and breathed Eric in, trying to fall back asleep in the comfort of his arms, but I couldn't.

Even in my dreams I couldn't escape what was actually happening in reality around me, and for some reason I only found comfort in the arms of a dead guy. I had to admit that he was a jerk some of the time and drove me nuts, but when it came down to it he had been there for me and saved my life. And I was falling for him, human or not, and I wanted him.

"Eric?" I whispered.

"Yes?"

I sat up and looked at him, seeing him gazing back at me as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. I took a deep breath and slid my hand up his chest. He sat up on his elbows, his face coming into a beam of moonlight so I could see him clearly. His eyes turned to lust immediately as I leaned in close to him, so close that our lips nearly touched.

"I'm ready," I whispered across his lips.
