And here's another update. Eric and Sookie's relationship is finally going somewhere. Sorry it took so long. I got my first job. Then I started a hairdressing course at college. I just couldn't get back into writing. But I have found my muse again. As well as the time to write in the first place.

Damn her lips are soft. I lick her bottom lip asking for entrance. She opens her lips letting me in. The moment my tongue touches hers I moan. She tastes so damn good. I stand up from my seat so that I can be closer. She opens her legs to let me even closer. My arms go around her waist and her arms go around my neck. No matter how close we get it's still not close enough. I want more of her. I move my hands to her thighs so I can lift her onto the breakfast bar. She's closer to my height like this; she wraps her legs around my waist. I press even closer to her. I thrust slightly against her; we both moan at how damn good it feels. I pull away to breathe. She starts kissing down my neck, nibbling just where neck meets shoulder. "Fuck".
"I'd like to." She says against my neck, sucking the skin. Damn that feels good.
And then my phone goes off. I pull away to take it out my back pocket. It's Tara.
I answer it. "Hi, Tara."
"Hey. Where are you, your Gran is worried."
"I'm out. And why would Gran be worried? I told her where I was going."
"She said you went back to that vamp bar. The one that just got raided."
I stand stock still. "What? What happened? I'm not there me and Sookie went… elsewhere."
"Apparently some guy was trying to sell V. They tried to sell to an undercover cop who called it in. The bar was raided twenty minutes ago. I just got told by your Gran who found out from one of her gossip group."
"Shit."
"That about covers it."
"I'll get home soon. Sookie will have to sort out her bar anyway. Thanks for calling. See you soon." I hang up before she can answer. I turn to Sookie and she's already set to leave. "Looks like our night got cut short."
"It did. But we can make up for it in three days." She smiles at me and I see a bit of her fangs. I shiver remembering the feel of her fangs against my neck.
"Yeah. We most definitely will." I kiss her one last time before we head back to Fangtasia.

It's been three damn days. Three. Three stupid nights without my Eric. I like the sound of that, MY Eric. Mine. Oh I can't wait till he is. All mine. I want to see that entire tattoo of his. Maybe I could lick every inch of it. Then slowly lick every inch of him. We had been so close. So damn close, but my fucking bar had to go and get raided thanks to one of my area's vampires breaking the no biting rules. Okay, I admit I might be sulking a little bit.
Thankfully, tonight I get to see him. The bar is empty, only the human employees remain. Pam and Long Shadow are keeping a close eye on them all. I can't believe someone had the balls to steal from me. I sigh; sadly I don't think a human did it. I actually think it was one of the vampires. But one or more of the humans might know something that we can't glamour from them. I hope Eric can help me. If not, then at least I got to spend tonight with him. And Dr Ludwig has agreed to a meeting. She isn't a fan of the fang but when I said I'd pay her double she was willing to visit.
I just want to get my Eric here. Mmmmm, mine. I like the sounds of that. He's all mine. And better yet, he wants to be.
I don't know why he intrigues me so much. He looks good and smells better. But there's something else. I want to know him. Talking to him was so good. I felt like I could finally let go. Like I was safe.
Like I'd found home.
Pam keeps worrying about the me. I can tell she's trying to figure out what it is about this particular human. But there's nothing to figure out. I want him. I care about him.
Maybe I could introduce him to Godric?

Three fucking days. Three days of thinking about what could have happened if I'd just turned my damn phone off!
Yes my Gran would have worried about me. But I wouldn't be having dreams about the most amazing woman I've ever met.
Tara has started worrying about me. She thinks Sookie put some kind of whammy on me. I know she hasn't though. Why would she need to? I'm practically kissing her feet.
I know the way I think about her would make people think I'm whipped. But I'm not. There's something inside me that tells me she's mine. And I'm hers. God I want to be.
She makes me feel alive. And I'm not a freak with her. I'm safe. I'm home.
I break out of my thoughts and get out of my car. I walk to the employees door like Sookie has told me to do.
I can't wait to see her. I wonder if she's wearing blue? Or maybe red? She'd look gorgeous in red.
Stop thinking like that.
I'm here for business first. Then pleasure. Pleasure like her legs wrapped around my...
I had to stop that thought before I ended up in an embarrassing situation.
I calm myself and walk into the main room of fangtasia.
Sookie is sat on her throne. Pam is sat on a barstool. The bartender was stood leaning against the wall.
And there was a scared and blubbering man sat at one of the tables. Only one chair across from him.
And so the show begins.
I'm thinking I should be scared. I mean I'm in a room where the only other human is scared shitless. So I should be scared right?
But Im not. The minute I walked in I actually felt calmer. Is this the blood tie to Sookie? Or is it something else? I'm almost giddy now that I'm here.
I put the thought away for me to think over later. Right now I have work to do.
"Eric, welcome back to Fangtasia. I have asked you here to help me find out who has been stealing from me."
Who on earth would try to steal from a vamp like Sookie?
"What could this human possibly do for us?" This came from the bartender. I think his name is Long Shadow.
"He can do plenty. Now shut up Long Shadow. Who is sheriff here?" Sookie replied to the question.
Long shadow just nodded his head slightly. It should have looked like an apology but really it looked like a silent 'fuck off'.
"Okay Eric. I need you to read the mind of this man. His name is Bruce and he is my accountant."
I nod and sit down across from the blubbering man. "What are the details of the situation?"
"Over the last few months someone has been stealing money. The amount adds up to about $60,000. Bruce is the one who brought me the information. I want to know if he has anything more to add."
Meaning she wants to know if he came to her with the information to take the heat away from him
I take Bruce's hand and start asking questions. "Did you take the money?" No, I didn't. I came forward with the problem. I was just doing my job. I don't want to die. Maybe it was that damn waitress. She always seems to have more money than she should.
"He didn't take the money but he is suspicious of the waitress with dyed blond hair. He seems to think she has more money than she earns here."
Sookie nods and Pam escorts Bruce out while changing his memories of tonight. Pam comes back in only moments later with the waitress I'd seen in Bruce's mind.
Pam sat her down opposite me and I reached to take her hand. She pulled away from me. "Don't you touch me." She said vehemently.
"Pam. Hold Ginger still." Sookie ordered. Pam's hand clamped down on Ginger's shoulder, holding her in place. I took her hand and asked "Do you know anything about the stolen money?"
Ginger started shaking. No I didn't take it. But what was I doing last night? What was I...?
"She's been tampered with. She can hardly remember what she's been doing for the last month. Someone took the memories but didn't replace them."
"A powerful vampire. Not a baby at any rate. But that doesn't mean the vamp has been stealing. Just that he or she is hiding something." Pam said. She seemed bored when she spoke but you could tell she was alert.
"Who would know who she has been with?" Sookie asked.
"Maybe a friend of hers." I replied.
"Fetch Belinda."
Pam escorted Ginger out changing her memories like she did with Bruce. Moments later she returned again with who I assumed was Belinda.
"Belinda what vampire has Ginger been with recently?" Sookie asked her.
"Anyone who would have her." Belinda replied. But a thought passed through her head.
"Which vampire from here?" I asked. She didn't look towards him but her answer was all I needed.
Long Shadow
I looked towards his standing post just as he started moving. It was only because I had the forethought to move that I was able to knock my chair backwards so he went flying over the top of me.
Sookie got to him before he could turn around. She had her hand wrapped around his throat and was holding him in the air.
"Get the silver chains." Sookie ordered. Pam blurred away and seconds later came back with a pair of gloves on and was carrying silver chains.
Before she could get to Sookie, Long Shadow struggled to get free and ended up using Sookie's hand to rip his own throat out. He dissolved into a pile of goo. Belinda started screaming and I almost vomited.
"Shut her up." Sookie ordered of Pam. Pam escorted Belinda from the room glamoring the girls memories away. She came back in with Ginger and told her to clean up the mess.
When I turned away from the vampire goo that Ginger was cleaning I noticed that Sookie was gone.
"She's gone to shower and change." I nod because I have nothing to say.
Sookie returns in a completely different outfit. Black jeans and a flowing red ling sleeved shirt that barely covered her.
"I will have to inform the magister of what has happened." At my confused look Sookie explained. "The magister is our judge, jury and executioner. He decides who is guilty of what and their punishments." Again I just nod.
"We need to go to my office. Doctor Ludwig should be here soon."
I get up from my seat and follow Sookie to her office.
I sit down on the sofa leaning forwards and resting my elbows on my knees. Sookie kneels in front of me and I can see concern in her face.
"I'm okay. Or at least I think I will be." I tell her. Sookie smiles slightly.
"You don't have to be okay. But let me know if you need anything." I wrap my arms around her and pull her up so she's straddling my lap.
"Just let me hold you for now." She against my shoulder and I settle into the feeling of peace she brings me.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter. And I hope you aren't disappointed that there was no Eric Sookie loving. Next chapter we find out what Ludwig has to say as well as the repercussions of Long Shadows death.
