AN: Sorry for the delay. No excuses I know. I already have the next chapter written so it should be up soon. Just gotta tweak some stuff. Sorry in advance, I'm no good at writing sex scenes apparently. Thanks for reading!

CHAPTER 10

Eric grabbed Sookie around her waist and pulled her close. She winced slightly at his grip and he relaxed a bit. She may have had his blood but that didn't mean she was completely healed.

As he held her in his arms, they kissed softly. Sookie reveled in his cool lips; the man certainly knew how to kiss. His tongue dipped into her mouth and she moaned quietly to herself. Why hadn't she given in before? This felt so right, so natural; her entire body felt at ease with him there holding her.

Eric loved the way she felt in his arms. Her smooth skin and soft lisp were just a bonus. This woman was phenomenal. He knew that the blood exchange would make their feels for each other stronger but he had never thought Sookie would kiss him back with this intensity.

"Eric?" she broke the kiss and whispered his name.

If vampires could shiver, he would, hearing his name come out of her lovely mouth, "Yes lover?" The word brought a slight blush to Sookie's cheeks. She was starting to feel more alert at the blood bond took hold and she was slightly embarrassed. Kissing Eric on her front porch was a little more public than she would like, even though it was pitch black and the middle of the night.

"Let's go inside, I want to lie down." Sookie slid her arms down from around his neck.

Eric caught her small hands in his large ones, "Allow me." He bent down, picked up Sookie and carried her over the threshold into her house.

As he walked up the stairs with her in his arms, She leaned against his chest and mumbled, "Seems like you're making a habit of this."

"I would carry you to Shreveport and back if you asked." His chest rumbled when he spoke and Sookie sighed in satisfaction.

As they entered the bedroom, Eric flipped on the overhead light. All Sookie wanted to do was crawl into bed. Then she looked down and saw her stained clothes and bloody body.

"I need a shower Eric," She grumbled, "I'm too gross to get in bed."

He laughed at her for complaining about showering, he knew it would make her feel better," You're never to 'gross' for me love." He set her down and then pulled her by the hand into the bathroom. Turning the show on, he made sure the water was warm.

Eric motioned to the steam, "Get in."

Sookie blushed, "Eric, I need to get undressed."

Eric stood staring at her for a second, waiting for her to take off her clothes. When she didn't move he realized she wanted him to leave. She made a shoo-ing motion with her hands but leaving was the last thing on Eric's mind.

"Would you like me to help?" He said, trying to remain innocent.

Sookie rolled her eyes at the big faker, "Get out Eric."

He smirked and left the bathroom but didn't close the door all the way. Standing there he watched her unhook the remnants of her bra and drop it to the floor. Her back was smooth and tan. There were no scars left from when she was scratched by the maenad, but he remembered what they looked like. He had stood, staring down at her, while she lay prone on a sofa in Fangtasia just after the attack. Even then he had wished he could have her.

Next Sookie slid off her denim mini skirt. It fell down her long tan legs into a heap on the floor. She gracefully stepped out of it and Eric was left looking at her tiny red bikini underwear.

He moaned at the sight of her, feeling his pants growing tighter by the second. Then Sookie leaned over and slithered gently out of her panties. Eric stared as Sookie's soft round ass came into view and he stifled a groan. This was too much.

Sookie slipped past the shower curtain and sighed in appreciation as the hot water hit her battered body. Most of the superficial wounds had closed, thanks to Eric's blood and Sookie only felt a few stings here and there. The shampoo sat on the shelf and Sookie grabbed it and flipped open the cap. Pouring a little bit into her palm, she worked up a lather and began washing the blood, her blood, out of her hair.

With her eyes closed, Sookie's mind began to wander. Lying on Eric's car and having him care for her. She felt the lust of those moments come rushing back. He had saved her life, not Bill. And then taken her, cared for her, kissed her and brought her home. He may be the Sheriff of Area 5 but now Sookie thought that she has misjudged him.

As she thought about him, and what she suspected was his perfect body, her desire began to grow. She leaned her head back into the shower and let the water pour over her. The soap started to come out of her hair and rivulets of water and shampoo began to run down her body, following the curves of her tan skin.

She imagined Eric there with her and with one hand she began to play with her breast. She toyed at her own nipple imagining it was Eric doing the same thing. Then her fingers slid down her side to her hips and grabbed tightly, just like Eric would do.

"Oh Lover." came a deep voice, from very close to her.

Sookie's eyes blinked open looking through the suds. Eric was standing there, completely naked, in her shower.

"Eric!" She was startled. No one, not even Bill, had ever gotten in the shower with her before.

"Don't stop on my account." He oozed charm and sexuality. Embarrassed by her nakedness Sookie blushed and looked down. Then immediately looked back up.

Well he certainly was well endowed!

Her blush deepened and spread across her entire body. She couldn't believe he was here in the shower with her. Naked! But he certainly did look good naked. Her natural instincts kicked in and she noticed just how handsome he was.

"What are you doing in my shower?" Sookie finally stuttered, wondering what he was going to do to her. She felt another flash of heat between her legs. Eric smiled as if he could feel the flash and took a step towards her.

"I thought you might need some help…" He held up a loofah and body wash, "getting clean?"

The picture of eternal innocence he was not. Sookie swallowed nervously and simply nodded, not quite trusting her voice to work. He smiled again, showing those perfect teeth, and squirted some body wash on to the sponge.

"Come here." He commanded and Sookie took a step towards him, closing the gap between their naked bodies.

He began making small circles on her body with the loofah and quickly Sookie was sudsy all over. She enjoyed attention and tried to relax. It was nice to feel pampered, especially after the evening she had had. Eric hadn't said anything else, but had continued gently scrubbing her, being careful not to reopen any wounds. As he circled her breasts for the fifth time, he dropped the loofah and continued washing her with simply his hands. Ran his fingers all over her body, enjoying her curves. She looked up into his eyes, opened her mouth to say something.

And then he was kissing her, pushing her back against the shower wall. The mix of cool tiles and her hot flesh was shocking. She gasped and Eric slipped a tongue into her mouth. Her fingers scrabbled at his skin, suddenly wanting to pull him closer. He heat inside of her rose, as if controlled by her proximity to Eric. She wanted more heat, more fire and there wasn't anything to stop her. The water cascaded over both of them, soaking Eric's hair and falling gracefully off of her skin.

They continued kissing feverishly, their lips melting into one another's. It seemed like they were the only ones in the world at that moment. Sookie, feeling playful, nipped at Eric's bottom lip and he growled seductively.

His hands slid up and down her body, one hand cupping around her breast. His fingers began to toy with her nipples; this was far better than she had imagined earlier.

She could feel herself getting wet, even in the damp shower and soon Eric's hands were traveling lower. He sunk a finger into her and felt the tight muscles relax and contract as he stimulated her clit.

"Oh god!" She moaned into his lips.
"It's Eric, lover." Even in the most serious situations he could still be arrogant. It made her want him more. She broke the kiss and leaned back against the wall moaning, enjoying the way he made her feel. He watched her face light up in ecstasy. He loved the way her neck looked when it tilted back and how her mouth opened with he rubbed her just the right way.

He slid his, now very wet, finger in and out of her, sensing her growing need. Then curling his digit he hit her g-spot. She bucked and moaned, "God Eric!" She called out and he smiled wickedly. This was getting better by the second. She kissed his neck and shoulder and pecs; her soft kisses interrupted every now and then by a playful bite or a heart fluttering groan.

Then she wrapped her fingers around his very hard cock. That was all it took for Eric to let out a loud groan, "Oh Sookie, my love!"

Now it was Sookie's turn to play. "Yes Viking?" She teased and stroked him again, then rubbed one finger around the tip.

His voice choked with desire, "Let me have you."

Never had Sookie heard someone with so much lust in his voice. Bill had been passionate but not this alluring and dangerously wanton. Her lips crashed back onto his, wanting very much to have him inside her. The desire had been building since lying on the hood of his car, and now it was coming to a head.

"Yes." she whispered throatily. She did not trust her voice to remain steady anymore. The passion in Eric's voice had made her go weak and as he continued to finger her, now with two fingers, Sookie knew that she had to have this god of a man.

"Yes?" he whispered back, hardly hoping that Sookie was agreeing to what he was thinking.

"Yes, Eric." This time, her voice was a bit more stable. She wrapped one hand in Eric's hair and while the other continued to stroke his generous manhood.

"Take me." she said and let go with both hands, willing him to take her as he saw fit.

He didn't need to hear her say it again. Eric grabbed her by the hips and picked her up. His cock was swollen in desire and he slid it into her tight opening. Sookie gasped. Her body stretched to accommodate his large size and Sookie could hardly believe that someone could be so big. "Oh Eric." She said again.

Eric felt her warmth envelop him and he groaned. He felt like he would come just from being inside of her body. This was everything he could have hoped for and more. He let her adjust to his size; he knew he was bigger than most and was inwardly pleased that Bill was obviously smaller than him. Sookie would never forget this night if he had his way about it.

Then he began to thrust. Sookie gasped and thought she might be split in two. It felt so good though; she almost started crying. He filled every inch of her and as he pushed in the head of his cock continued to bump against her g-spot over and over again. All she could think about was how amazing Eric was and that she wanted more.

"Please Eric," she managed to squeak out between thrusts, "more."

Eric smiled his wicked smile and began hammering into her, pushing her roughly against the shower wall and fucking her senseless. Eric couldn't believe that sweet innocent Sookie had a naughty, wild side; he liked it a lot.

"God, I'd fuck you every night if I could woman." He called out, starting to get close. She bucked her hips against his, wanting to fuck him as hard as he was fucking her.
"Oh Sookie!" He cried and Sookie knew that she could get used to him calling out her name. The pleasure of the moment continued to build and one of Eric's fingers found her sensitive clit and began rubbing it in circles.

"Oh shit Eric!" She screamed and wrapped her legs even tighter around him. He felt her walls tighten as she began to orgasm and it was too much for the ancient vampire. He thrust into her hard, one last time and bit down on her shoulder.

It was instantaneous. They both came screaming each others names as wave after wave of emotions swept over them.

As it passed Eric released his grip on Sookie's thighs. He had left hand shaped bruises in his passion. Sookie felt so relaxed though, she was not completely spent, physically as well as emotionally. She untangled her fingers from Eric's hair and laid her head against his chest. He briefly touched the new wounds that he had added to her collection.

"Thank you Eric." Sookie said.

"You're more than welcome my love." Eric let her down from her pinned position against the wall. They both gasped a bit as he finally pulled out. Sookie wanted to cry out, she felt so empty, but she simply held Eric close to her. He began to kiss her neck and lick at her shoulder, healing the bite marks he had made.

The water had gotten cool and Sookie realized they were still in the shower and the hot water heater had run out.

She turned off the water and they both stood dripping and holding each other until Sookie began to shiver. Eric grabbed a towel off the bar and wrapped his lover up tightly. Then stepping out he quickly tousled his hair and dried his body before wrapping the white towel around his waist. Sookie couldn't help but notice how good he looked, even in just a towel (especially in just a towel).

As Sookie stepped out of the shower to walk to the bedroom, Eric, once again, scooped her up and carried her.

Sookie laughed, "Eric, if you keep carrying me, I wont ever get any exercise!"

"Oh don't worry lover, I can give you all the exercise you will ever need." Eric watched as Sookie blushed again and he just laughed.

"Love, I think I will make a game where I try to make you blush. Its just such a good look for you." He kissed her on the forehead.

"Very funny Eric. Now put me down." Sookie wiggled in his arms. He dropped her ungraciously on the bed, pretending to comply with her wishes. The towel that had been wrapped haphazardly around her fell open revealing her naked form. Her body stared up at Eric while Sookie scrambled to cover herself.

Eric put out a hand and stopped her, "You're beautiful Sookie." he said.

Sookie continued to try to pull the towel back over her body, "Eric!" She said exasperatedly.

He gave her a look that warmed her to the very core and then he grabbed her by the wrists and pushed her back onto the bed. He held her down with her wrists above her head and leaned over her naked body. As he slid up onto the bed with her, his towel fell away and revealed his mostly hard cock. Sookie just stared, her eyes a little glassy, thinking about what they had just done in the shower.

"Like what you see?" Eric said languidly.

"You might say that." Sookie gulped.

He leaned down and kissed her, his hands still holding hers down. He controlled how strongly they would kiss and he could tell she wanted more. He teased her with tiny butterfly kisses, pretending that he didn't really want her. Sookie knew better because Eric's fangs were completely out, and that wasn't the only sign of arousal. As he would bend down to kiss her, his cock would brush against her, making her wish that she could overpower him and have her way with him.

"Oh Eric!" She groaned in anticipation.

He switched his grip so that he held both of her wrists in one hand while the other quickly found its way to her warm folds. His fingers teased around the outside of her lips, feeling the wet dew under his fingers. Sookie was ready for him again and he wanted her so badly. He dipped one finger into her pussy and quickly slid it back out. Sookie's eyes were wide, wanting more and more from him. He lifted his fingers to his face and first smelled her sweet juices, then tasted her.

She tasted like how he remembered honeysuckle tasting, sweet yet foreign. It has been so long since he had thought of tasting things besides blood and women but now he wanted more. He let go of her hands and leaned down and licked between her legs.

Sookie moaned and her pelvis thrust upwards towards his face. Wrapping her fingers in his hair, she pushed him towards her wet pussy. He took to the task and his tongue dove in and out of her, eliciting passionate gasps and moans.
