Chapter 38
We didn't arrive at Fangtasia until almost 11pm. Pam had
the night off so the bartender Felicia was playing boss for the
night. We went in the back door and Felicia was in Eric's office on
the phone with her feet propped on his desk. When Eric walked in she
almost fell over backwards in the chair she was so startled.
"Comfortable Felicia," Eric used his scary booming voice that I
hoped to never have directed at me.
"Master Eric," Felicia was
not a partner in the bar as Long Shadow had been. Since his betrayal
Pam and Eric kept the bar to them selves. Felicia was in charge of
liquor stock and other bar items and she was for lack of better
terms, Pam's assistant, so when Eric and Pam were not there Felicia
played boss, "I did not know you were coming in tonight, my deepest
apologies for violating your space." She looked down at the
floor.
"Tell me Felicia, how do you know what is happening in
the bar if you are in here on the phone. Have your skills exceeded
mine and you can see and hear through the walls to know all is well?"
"No Master," Felicia was still a very young vampire less than 100
years old, she was still looking at the floor.
"Out! Go make
sure all is well for the rest of the evening." Eric commanded her
with no forgiveness in his voice. He turned to me, "Lover, don't
forget we have a meeting tomorrow night with my accountant. We will
need to be sure not to be late tomorrow night."
"I wouldn't
dream of making us late," I gave him and innocent grin, "but you
keep that in mind when you wake up. I will be ready and waiting for
you downstairs. So you won't make us late."
"Are you
complaining that we spend too much time making love," he gave his
sexy smile.
"I would never complain about that. If we didn't
have to eat, sleep and work, I couldn't think of a better way to
spend every second of every day."
"I have no choice but to
sleep, but I don't have to leave bed to eat as long as I have you
and we have enough money, we don't have to work. Maybe we should
give this concept of yours a try sometime."
"Sounds fun! Wait,
what do you mean WE have enough money that we don't have to work. I
don't have that much money."
"Lover, I want you to promise
me something. Promise me that you will never worry about money again.
When I asked you to be my wife that meant I was willing to share
everything I have with you. My money is your money. Tomorrow night
you will find out how much that is. If you need or want something buy
it. If you need to help your brother, and it is more than a couple of
thousand dollars, please let's discuss it. I do not make a habit of
giving my money away. I have lived a long time and I will live a long
time still to come so I want to enjoy it myself. I have specific
charities I give to for the tax advantages if you have a charity you
wish to give to we will set it up with the accountant. My current
accountant is Devlin Anderson I pay him very well, but if you don't
mind could you look into his mind and make sure that he is not
planning on cheating me. Pam or I do go over the books thoroughly
every quarter. Pam is the only other sole on this earth other than my
accountant that knows where my money resides and how much of it there
is. When I have an accountant leave my employment I glamour him so he
does not remember. Tomorrow night you will know where my money is and
how much there is of it. I trust you completely, I know that I would
never be able to glamour you to remove these facts from your
memory."
"Eric, are you really sure about this? You know that
I don't expect this from you and I am content to work and make my
own money. And yes, I will listen to Mr. Anderson tomorrow
night."
"You will work and make your own money. What you do
with that money is your business. You can save every penny. You can
give away every penny. You do what you want with it. When you are
ready to start working here you will be given a salary. I know that I
don't have to let you into my finances. I also know that my money
is not important to you. Sookie, there is plenty of money to sustain
us for a very long time. Much of my money is kept in banks outside
the US where the government does not know about it and can not tax me
for it. I made my money before the world knew about vampires. I will
not let the government come back and tax me on it now. The only money
I keep in the US is the money I earn from Fangtasia and the
compensation I receive for being the Sheriff of area five. That is
more than enough for the government to receive taxes on. My
investments and my stock trades happen through all of my off shore
accounts."
"Eric, I am ready to start working. With the help
of Amelia and my days free I think I can take care of the wedding
arrangements and everything I need to and work. I just want my boss
to know right now that when the wedding gets close I am going to need
to take time off and I will need to schedule some time off for my
honeymoon."
"I think your boss could be persuaded
to allow you that time." Then came the sexy grin.
I walked over
behind his desk, "Hum, see if you think this would help persuade
him," I kissed him deeply.
"That would be a start," smiling
at me. I kissed him again, I sucked his ear lobe blowing slightly in
his ear and kissed my way down his neck letting my hands rub his
muscular chest and down his stomach. My hand began rubbing his shaft
through his jeans and his fangs ran out. I did my little tongue dance
on each of his fangs while still rubbing him and he was so hard I
thought he was going to bust out of his jeans. I pulled back and sat
up on his desk, "so what do you think? Do you think with persuasion
like that my boss will give me the time off I need?"
He growled
my name, "Sookie, shut and lock the door." I should know by now
that if I touch his fangs we are going to screw. It just did
something to him… it unlocked the animal in him. I got up and
locked the door and turned around and he was right behind me his
mouth on mine immediately. He walked backwards pulling me to him he
stopped and unbuttoned my pants and ran his hands down the back of
them and kissed me more. I ran my tongue over one of his fangs and he
spun me towards the desk and bent me over and pulled my jeans and
panties down just enough to allow him entry and then he was in me. He
was growling from deep within and pounding so hard that if he didn't
have one hand on my stomach and the other on my shoulder then I would
have been flung over the desk. He was so intense and so hard that I
came almost immediately. He moved his hand from my shoulder and
grabbed a handful of my hair, I must admit there was a little pain
but it also was exciting. He kept growling and this was just
intensifying the excitement and I came again. This time so hard that
it felt like it lasted at least three minutes and when it was over my
legs were weak and I thought I was going to collapse, Eric was not
finished with me yet. He turned me to him, lifted me onto the desk
pulled my pants and shoes off with one strong motion and flung them
across the room. He was in me again and I wrapped my legs around him
and began meeting his thrusts. He pulled my shirt up and bit my
breast still growling like an animal devouring a piece of meat, here
it came again for me, "Oh my God Eric, I am coming again. Harder,
don't stop." He sucked harder he thrust into me harder. He
detached from my breast threw his head back and roared. He was
finished. He came so hard I felt it shoot all the way into me. I know
that messing with his fangs gets a big reaction from him, but tonight
was intense. Tonight he was like an animal. I lay back on the desk to
collect myself.
"That was…. INTENSE, " I looked up at him
and smiled.
"Are you ok?"
"I am fine, it was quite
enjoyable." I smiled at him again. "So if I want wild animalistic
sex I know what I need to do."
"We've had the discussion
before about what that means to me. But I have found it to be quite
the erotic experience. I can barely control myself. The fact that you
do it with such abandonment for your safety just intensifies the
experience."
"Why would I worry about my safety? I trust you
completely."
We went out into the club and danced to a
couple of songs and then sat up on our thrones until the bar closed.
Eric went through Mickey D's drive thru on the way home, I hadn't
asked him to, he ordered a chocolate shake. Which made me think about
my question I had earlier. "Honey, when we get married you know
it's customary for the bride and groom to feed each other a piece
of cake. You don't eat. Will we be able do that? Can you eat
anything solid or could you put it in your mouth and spit it out? Or
I could just smash it in your face that's what most people do
anyway." OK I rambled and then took a drink of my shake.
"Lover,
I can not eat any type of food. If I were to ingest anything other
than blood I would become violently ill. I know that this is very
important to you and since you are doing me the honor of becoming my
wife I would gladly let you smash cake in my face."
"I'm
sorry I know it probably seems petty to you, but I want to have the
entire traditional wedding experience."
"No, I don't think
it is petty or silly or pointless, never think that. I want you to
have a perfect wedding day and I will do whatever I can to make it
happen for you. My day will be perfect no matter where we get
married, no matter who is there, for me the day is perfect because
you are granting me my wish of becoming my wife."
"I love you,
I can't wait to be your wife." I took his hand in mine. We
settled in for a normal evening. We played Wii bowling, I won, we PS3
Guitar Hero, Eric kicked my butt, we shot a couple of games of pool,
Eric won both times. We went skinny dipping, the water was still a
little cold for me so we jumped into the hot tub. "Do you have
anything special you want for our wedding? A specific color, a
special place, a particular date?"
"You are all I need. I will
wear anything you want me to at any place on any date." He drew me
to him to sit right in front of him and he wrapped his arms around
me.
"The engagement party has been pretty easy to plan. Planning
the wedding is a pretty daunting task. I know that Amelia will help,
I think Tara will, I know I can count on Claudine, even though she
can't come to the wedding, I am just so nervous about it, not about
marrying you, just about forgetting something or messing something
up."
"Lover, it will be fine. You know you can hire a
professional wedding planner if that will make you feel better. I am
sure that there wedding planners that specialize in vampire
weddings."
"Why hadn't I thought about that? Your right. I
will check into that." I felt better already.
