A/N: Okay kids, a little back story. There was once an auction called Support Stacie. I wanted to get the bidding up on my auction, so I made a promise that anyone who bid over $60 would get to pick a location for a future chapter of Terminal Attraction. The amazing smg528 won that auction, and Long Haul was the result. Sapfirerose - who is my favorite pimp by the way - came in second and suggested Thailand. Now, I know very little about Thailand, but I remember that America's Next Top Model went there during one of the cycles so I knew they had fuckawesome beaches. Thailand is also popular for tranny hookers, but I decided to stay away from that. Enjoy.

Also, for those of you who don't read Comic Con Connections, I posted a little conversation my muses had. Basically, on Saturdays, my smutty stories will alternate. One week will be TA and the other will be CCC. I can only write so much smut in one week kids.

Thanks to chiisai-kitty, who is the sweetest beta ever and doesn't make me feel like a moron when I make stupid mistakes. She does pick on me every now and then, but it's out of love.

Disclaimer: Not Mine

Falling asleep with Sookie tucked in my arms was amazing. Sure, we had slept together before, during our world travels in countless hotels, but there was something different about sleeping together in my bed, in my apartment. It felt warm and homey, like cookies fresh from the oven. Something else was feeling nice and warm too; a feeling I couldn't exactly place in my mind, which was still in the slow process of waking up. All I could put together was that there was something warm and wet wrapped around my cock.

I finally had the skills necessary to open my eyes and was able to bear witness to the world's greatest way to wake a man; a good morning blow job. Sookie was tucked between my legs, her hair swept up to keep it out of her face and my member disappearing between her lips on every stroke. When she saw that she was successful in rousing me, she smiled and hummed around me. When she was sure she had my undivided attention, she took my entire length in her mouth. I could feel the back of her throat, her muscles working to swallow every inch of me. I had died and gone to heaven. I rarely met a woman who could deep throat me. It took me a minute to remember that when I first met Sookie, she was an oral sex novice. Now, she was doing tricks that sent shivers through every part of my body.

She brought a hand up to trace along the sensitive skin of my inner thigh, every now and then brushing my balls with her fingertips. I was done for. I did the polite thing by giving her fair warning, then came in her warm mouth. She was still working hard; swallowing everything I had to give, and sucking for more. I collapsed against the bed, despite not having done anything but lie back and enjoy, but feeling spent. She giggled as she crawled up my body to snuggle on top of me. I wrapped my arms around her, running my fingers back and forth along the curve of her back, just above her hips. She looked up at me, mischief obvious in her eyes, a smile etched across her face.

"Morning, sunshine! I'm going to take a shower and you're going to make us breakfast."

"Or we could shower together and then stop at the diner to get food."

"No time for that. Terry sent out a text that he needed a crew ASAP to fly to some tropical island in the South Pacific. Something about a photo shoot. Hence the morning mouth hug; I knew you'd be disappointed if you didn't start your day with an orgasm. So, come on! Let's get a move on!"

She jumped off me, walking nude across the apartment towards the bathroom. It was nice that she felt at home enough to walk around like she owned the place. All she had to do was say the words, and I'm pretty sure I'd sign the lease over to her. That woman had me whipped; I wasn't ashamed to admit it.

I pulled on a pair of shorts, grabbed my phone and made my way into the kitchen. After starting a pot of strong coffee and cracking some eggs for omelets, I checked my phone for the text message Sookie mentioned.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Shoot in Phuket. Alcide's already in. See you at ten.

Today is the best day of my life. I must have done something really awesome in a past life. I got to spend the day on a jet full of swimsuit models. Then it all hit me. I got to spend the day on a jet full of swimsuit models with the one girl I was trying to prove myself as a decent human being. I must have punched the Dalai Lama himself for that sort of shitty karma. I had a chance to nail one, if not several, supermodels, but I had to act like a gentleman. As Sookie walked out of the bathroom, steam billowing behind her out the door, I had a gentle reminder of why I should fight the urge. She was nude with the few water droplets the towel missed slowly running down her body. Those models couldn't top the living, breathing goddess walking towards me.

"Oh, yum, scrambled eggs, my favorite. Would you mind throwing a little cheese on mine?"

She was talking to me. Don't stare at her breasts, don't stare at her breasts. Make eye contact, come on, Eric you can do this. I looked down at the bowl of beaten eggs on the counter.

"Right. Raid the fridge, I make them however you like."

She pulled out a bag of shredded cheese before wandering away again, back towards the bedroom to get dressed. I focused my attention on the very hot stove. I couldn't believe that after the months I've spent with Sookie, my body and mind still reacted so strongly towards her. I finally understood the concept of monogamy; if she was the one, boredom is not an option. She came back out just as the eggs were finished, dressed perfectly in her uniform. She took a seat at my dining room table, where I brought over the plates and two mugs of coffee.

We ate quickly so we could make it to the airfield on time. Terry might be a laid back guy, but he's a stickler for punctuality. I took the fastest shower known to man, before dressing in my own uniform. We were out the door and on our way to work with plenty of time to spare. It was drizzling, so we had to keep the top up. Silence filled the car, and it was obvious Sookie didn't like it. On our drive yesterday, she had the wind whipping around her to avoid conversation. What happened to the little sex kitten I knew who would talk to me about anything?

"Have you ever been to Thailand?" Might as well break the silence myself.

"No, but I've always wanted to go. I've seen pictures, it's beautiful."

"It is. I was stationed in the Pacific, so I spent some time there. Most of it was spent in Bangkok, but I was able to steal away once in a while to more subdued places like Phuket. You'll love it."

"Isn't Thailand the place known for their prostitutes?"

"Yes, but does it look like I need to pay a woman to have sex with me? I've never done that in my life. I knew a few guys that did though. They're lucky their dicks didn't fall off."

She laughed, and went back to staring out the window. She wanted out of that conversation, away from getting to know more about me.

"Why did you become a flight attendant?"

"I wanted to go on adventures. I had never left Bon Temps so I wanted to see what more was out there."

Back to the window. It was like pulling teeth with her today. I was losing patience.

"So what the fuck happened between you being playful and now? You went from sucking me off to giving me the cold shoulder. Did I do something wrong? Did I not make your eggs right?"

"It's nothing, Eric. I guess I'm just in a mood. Blame the weather or something."

"I call bullshit. You're the most chipper person I've ever met. What's wrong?"

"Didn't today feel a little domestic to you? Getting ready for work together, sitting down to breakfast, it was a little weird."

"It felt fine to me. It felt great, actually."

"It's not the type of thing two people in a no strings attached type arrangement do. It's the type of thing I'd do with..."

She trailed off, obviously afraid of the next words to come out of her mouth. I knew her well enough to know what it would be.

"With a boyfriend? Really, Sookie, would it be that horrible to be with me?"

No answer. "I'm a nice guy. I treat you well. We always have fun together. So, I don't have the best track record as far as relationships go. Are you that scared to try something that you're going to sabotage what we have?"

No answer. "You can at least be decent enough to give me a chance before you write me off completely. I might surprise you and not fuck things up."

I said the last part as we pulled into the parking lot of the airfield. As soon as the car came to a stop, she was out the door, heading toward the terminal. I wasn't going to give up on her. I was going to counteract her weirdness by surprising the pants off her. I was going to be a gentleman.

SPOV

That was the single most excruciating car ride ever. I had noticed during breakfast how smooth things were going. When I came into the kitchen after my shower, I couldn't help but notice how natural it felt to be side by side, cooking with him. We interacted like two people who had been doing that sort of thing for years.

I decided then that we had to keep this at a purely physical level. Any questions I had floating in my mind about Eric's past were going to be ignored. The only thing I would allow myself to think about when it came to him was his body. I had never been in this type of situation before, so I had to work hard to keep from falling for him.

Of course, as if he was some sort of mind reader, all he wanted to do in the car was talk about us. He wanted to talk about his time in the service, or get to know more about my life. I couldn't let that happen if my decision to keep it physical was going to work out. I did the hurtful thing and ignored him. Maybe he'd finally get the message and keep it about sex.

I walked away from him as soon as we reached the airfield. Upon walking into the terminal, my heart sank. There were five absolutely stunning women, plus a team of photographers and make up artists. If anything was going to prove my point about Eric, this would be it. There was no way he would ever choose me when he had the most beautiful women in the world at his disposal. They couldn't all be photographed at once; he'd be able to steal one or two away in between takes for some alone time.

I walked away from the pretty people's convention to find Terry to tell him that Eric and I had arrived. To my surprise, within a few minutes, Eric was once again at my side, completely oblivious to the crowd around him. He wrapped his hands around my arms, bringing his mouth close to my ear.

"We aren't done talking about what happened. I'm not letting you run away that easily."

I noticed Alcide was waiting for him by the front doors, ogling the models. Eric gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked away, dragging Alcide behind him as they heading for the jet. He didn't look at the girls once.

The flight was long, but uneventful. The only moment that stuck out in my mind was when Eric called one of the handlers into the cockpit for a brief discussion. We taxied into a private hangar, where everyone was directed to board a bus that would take us to the hotel. I was especially confused when I was told to do the same. Eric and Alcide came on last. Eric walked towards the back of the bus where I was sitting, while Alcide opted to sit up front with the talent. They were fawning over him, yet watching Eric as he ignored them. He sat down next to me, closing his eyes and resting his head against the chair. It was a long flight and it was obvious to me that he was tired.

"Where are we going?"

"I convinced the director to get us rooms at the hotel they're shooting at so we could stay for the trip. No way I was flying back, only to have to get them in two days. They were only able to get two rooms so you can room with me, or whatever her name is. It's thirty minutes to the hotel, I'm going to try and get some sleep."

"Are you mad at me?"

He didn't answer. I know he couldn't have fallen asleep that quickly. "Eric? Are you mad at me?"

"It's not fun when someone you have feelings for gives you the cold shoulder, huh?"

Wow. Ouch.

"Not so much. I'm sorry about the car ride."

"It's fine. I'm going to get some sleep now. Wake me when we get there."

The drive from the airport to the hotel was absolutely surreal. We were driving down the coast, and all I could see for miles was pristine beaches with the whitest sand and bluest water. We pulled up to Le Meridien, and I woke Eric, as promised. Everyone piled off the bus, and one of the SI employees handed us the key to a room as soon as we stepped in the lobby. It stretched the full width of the hotel, and I could see out the windows on the other side. Just past the pools and rows of palm trees was the ocean.

I could have spent the entire trip staring out the windows, but Eric guided me towards the elevator bay. Alcide was already flirting with Isabel, the newest flight attendant and his new roommate, on the ride up to the fourth floor. As soon as we were in the room, I was drawn to the balcony. There was an even better view of the ocean from here. I don't think I've ever stayed at a hotel this nice, or in a location like this. But that couldn't distract me from what I had seen with Alcide.

"What's going on with Alcide? Did something happen between him and Maria Starr?"

"She was getting, and I quote, 'clingy and weird.'" From what he told me, she started freaking out over text messages on his phone from a woman. They had this huge fight last night about her snooping in his phone. It wasn't until she stormed out that he looked at his phone. They were from his sister, Janice. I'm proud to see him getting back in the saddle so quickly, though. Guess the models turned him down, but that new chick is a hot enough replacement."

"So you did notice there were models on board."

"Of course, I noticed. I'm not blind, you know. But I wanted to show you that I'm capable of keeping my eyes in their sockets."

"Oh."

"Listen, I get that you're trying to protect yourself from getting hurt. But what we have between us has some serious potential. If you really want to keep this superficial, that's fine, but you can't freak out every time something real happens between us."

"If you and I were together, would you be able to stay loyal to me? I don't want to have to worry that I'm going to lose you to someone else."

"I'm not going to lie, I've never done the relationship thing before. But I know that I haven't felt fulfilled by any woman, other than you, since we started messing around."

"Can I think about it?"

"Can we fuck while you think?"

I closed the blinds, turning to face him where he lounged on the bed. I took off my shirt and skirt slowly, stalking towards him.

"I think I can handle that."

EPOV

Sookie was avoiding the conversation that was looming over us like a dark cloud. Knowing that I said my piece made me feel a lot better. Not knowing what Sookie's reaction was going to be, on the other hand, was killing me slowly. We took a day hike, wandering around Phuket to investigate the many waterfalls. Sookie snapped hundreds of pictures, most of which I'd have to download copies of for myself. She definitely had an eye for photography. She had made me pose for more than a few frames, but wasn't thrilled when I stole the camera to take her picture. She begrudgingly smiled for a few shots before stealing it back from me to continue our walk.

As planned, we made our way to a private cove. We walked along the water's edge, feeling the waves lap at our toes. She started laughing and a private smile crossed her features.

"Have you ever seen From Here to Eternity?"

"Can't say that I have."

"You probably know the scene I'm talking about anyway; it gets spoofed a lot. It's the one where the two lovers are kissing and the waves are crashing over them. I've always thought it's one of the most romantic scenes ever."

"So why are you laughing while thinking about it?"

"Because I've always wanted to recreate it, and I was thinking about dragging you down to the sand to have my wicked way with you."

I stopped and she stepped into my open arms. I kissed her hard, rubbing my tongue along hers as soon as she granted me access to her mouth. She pulled back slightly, worrying my bottom lip between her teeth.

"Well, lover, all you had to do was ask."

I pulled her down to the sand with me. She was on top of me instantly, her lips right back on mine. The first wave came down on us, and the shock of cold water against our overheated skin made her squeal. She was up and running further up the beach, where the waves couldn't reach us. She laid out a blanket and sprawled out, giving me her best "come hither" eyes. I was still sitting in the water, when an even larger wave washed over me, leaving me soaked from head to toe. Sookie thought this was the funniest thing she'd ever seen, so I ran up to her, covering her with my larger body.

We were laughing again, actually enjoying our time together. I stopped laughing, looking down at her face. She was quite possibly the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. Before she could even stop laughing, I kissed her again. Her fingers tangled in my hair, holding me closer to her. I reached for the backpack I had been carrying, where I wisely tucked away a few condoms. I rolled one on, and after removing her bikini bottoms, slid into her.

She moaned, digging her nails into my shoulders. I buried my face in her shoulder, kissing and biting the skin I could reach. I could taste the salt of the ocean on her skin, and still smell the perfume of the flowers we had encountered on our walk in her hair. Her hips met mine every time as we worked against each other. She was so close; I could feel her body trembling beneath me. I changed angles slightly, and I must have hit her spot. She gasped, her eyes opening suddenly as the beginning of her orgasm rocked her.

She came with a scream, pulsing around me. I continued pounding into her, hearing the change in pitch of her voice as she kept coming over and over again. I finally let go, growling out as I emptied into her. I rolled off to her side, finding a few tissues in the bag to get rid of the condom.

"Nobody's ever fucked me the way you do."

"Nobody?"

"Nope."

"You should know that no one ever will. Want to take a dip before we head back?"

"Sure."

She removed her top and ran for the water stark naked. I didn't intend for it to be a skinny dip, but that sounded wonderful at the moment. We headed back to the hotel shortly after, and crashed. We were both exhausted, and without exchanging words, decided that nap time was definitely called for.

I woke up from our nap, having slept far longer than we originally planned. There was a missed text message on both our phones from Alcide, wondering where we had disappeared. She stirred at my side when I reached over to grab my phone.

"I had the weirdest dream."

I sent Alcide a quick message to let him know we were alive before responding to her. "Want to tell me about it?"

"It was as if we had gone back in time, from the dress I was wearing, it looked like it was the fifties. Anyway, we were in my Gran's kitchen, except my Gran wasn't there. I was making breakfast and you were sitting at the table, reading the newspaper. There was a dog running around. It was domestic bliss at its best. And it felt so right."

"So, what does that mean?"

"I don't know." She rolled over, propping her head up on my chest. "I want to try this. But I need you to promise you won't cheat on me. I refuse to put my heart on the line if I know I'm just going to end up hurt."

"I could never hurt you. We'll take it slow. You can give me a chance to show you I can be a boyfriend."

"You already proved that. You walked past five supermodels to come talk to me. I guess that's all I needed to see that you only had eyes for me."

I rolled her over, planting a trail of kisses along her neck. "You more than keep my attention. Do you realize you're my first girlfriend since high school?"

"Get out! You've been man whoring it up since then? Aw, I feel all special now. I'm the woman who convinced you to be a one woman type of guy."

"I guess I was just waiting for the right woman. I had to burn through the others before I found the girl who was perfect for me."

"You have a way with words."

"I've been told I have a very talented mouth."

I kissed my way down her body, settling between her legs. I hadn't even touched her sex yet, but her hands were already in my hair. She knew what was coming. It dawned on me that I was about to eat out my girlfriend. That made me all types of excited, and determined to give her the best orgasm of her life.

As my tongue made contact, she wrapped her legs around my neck to hold me tight to her. I had no intention of going anywhere until she was screaming my name at the top of her lungs, praising God above for giving me this tongue. I gripped her hips, holding her still as she was grinding against my face. I held true to my word, getting her off quickly, and kept getting her off until a manager knocked on the door to tell us to keep it down. I'd say that's the perfect way to start a relationship.

A/N: It happened!!! They're a couple!! This isn't going to be one of those fics that make it a deep emotional journey of a couple *cough*Dixie*cough*. I'm going back to the root of the story: two hot people flying around the world and fucking in exotic locations. They're just a couple now!

Now a word from my sponsors:
