Are you ready for a little more ESN! Who isn't, right? Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. I may have to do another Eric's POV again. He has something that he needs to get off his chest. Well, maybe.

CHAPTER 9

I woke up the next day with Eric's heavy arm draped across me. It felt so good having him this close. I moved his arm and went to the bathroom to take care of my so called human needs. I was so happy. I washed my face and brushed my teeth and went back to the bedroom to pull on some lounge pants. I found the key to the room on the dresser and went down to the kitchen to make some much needed coffee. The kitchen clock showed the time to be 1:30. I had a couple cups of coffee and went to sit outside to enjoy my last cup with some toast. I took my phone with me. Amelia had left another message. It just said that she was on the way and would probably be here by about 6:00. While I was sitting and enjoying the beautiful ocean Lindsey came walking up.

"Hey Sookie."

"Hey Lindsey. Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"No but thanks."

"What are you doing today?"

"Not much. I just thought that I would drop by and visit for a little while." She had a smirk on her face.

"What's the smirk for?"

"James and I came by last night to invite you and Eric to join us at a club in Destin tonight."

"You did. Sorry we went for a walk on the beach. We must have missed you."

"Well actually, you were in the hot tub when we got here. I decided that it would be better to just come back today and invite you." She was smiling ear to ear.

"Oh" I know by face was at least 3 shades of red.

"I take it that you and Eric talked out your issues!" She said giggling.

"I guess you could say that." I was so embarrassed but I was smiling.

"Did you ask him about the bond?"

"Yes, I understand it a lot better now. Thank you Lindsey, for being so kind. I feel like you know everything about me and I know nothing about you."

"Well what would you like to know?"

"How did you and James meet?"

"Ok I guess that's a fair question. In a dream." She kinda giggled again.

"Excuse me?"

"You see I'm a dreamer."

"Well most people dream."

"No, not like mine. You see I see things in my dreams. It doesn't happen when I'm awake. I mean I'm not a seer. But when I dream when I sleep…...they kinda come to pass."

"Really? And that's how you met James?'

"That's when I saw him first. I had a dream that I was at home and it was evening. I had been out jogging and he drove up in the neighborhood. He stopped and asked me who took care of my property. I told him that I had just started a business and I maintained rental properties in my area. He got out of his vehicle and we spent the whole night talking." She sighed. "And that's exactly how it happened about 2 days later. He had bought a house down the beach a little farther and needed it to be taken care of. We've been together ever since. That was about 5 years ago. Even though he is the area sheriff, he owns a quite a few rentals and I do too."

"Wow, and you are just now talking about bonding?"

"Yes, we have exchanged blood but only once. He usually only takes mine."

"So do you dream every night? And do they always come true?"

"No I don't dream every night but my dreams do come true. Sometimes they aren't what they seem." She looked a little grim when she said that.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, sometimes the dreams aren't specific. So it's harder to understand. But sometimes, like in the dream where I saw you, it was very specific. I just didn't see what was going to happen with Quinn." She was a little sad. "It would have been a little more useful if I could have known what was going to happen so I could prevent it."

"You had a dream about me?" I was smiling.

"Yes, the first dream was 3 days before you came and I saw you walking on the beach. Remember that was our first encounter. I also had a dream that we went shopping and became good friends."

"That did happen. Anything else?"

"Yes, I saw us dancing at the club and there was a brown haired girl with us. She's sorta small and a little shorter than you."

"That's Amelia. She will be here tonight and Tray her boyfriend will be with her."

"Then they should join us. Let's say we will leave at about 9:00. Will that be ok?"

"That sounds fine. But I will have to ask Amelia if they will want to go. They are driving in today and I don't know if they will be up for it or not."

"Oh they will go. Does Tray have brown hair and very muscular."

"Yes, did you see him too?"

"Yes, at the table with James and Eric."

"What a neat gift you have Lindsey."

"It's not that useful as I said before. There's no controlling it and you don't always understand them. I'm getting better with them though." She smiled. "Well Sookie, I think that I'm going to go back and get a little work done. But we will come over at about 9."

"That sounds great! We will see you then."

"Bye."

After Lindsey left I decided to text Amelia and let her know that we were invited to go to a club in Destin tonight. And if she didn't want to go I would just explain to Lindsey. I'm sure she would understand.

Hey girl! We r goin out 2nite. Want 2 go?

Beep beep beep. That was fast.

Sounds like fun!!!

We will leave at 9. That will give u time 2 rest after the trip.

Beep beep beep.

Girl we can rest when we die. Let's have fun!!!

U R CRAZY GIRL. I have some friends 4 u 2 meet!

Beep beep beep.

The more the merrier!!!

K see u soon!

I was still feeling tired I thought that I would go back up stairs and lay back down with Eric for a while. I wanted to be ready for the club tonight. We had a long night last night. I went back to the room and put the key back on the dresser, after locking the door. I took off all my clothes and slid back into the bed beside Eric. He reached out and pulled me to him. That was strange. Even in his sleep he could sense me in the bed with him. I just laid there content in the moment. I know it won't stay this simple. It never does. But, I sure was glad to be wrapped in his arms right now. Just a couple of days ago I wouldn't have thought that this would have been possible. That Eric and I could have a relationship. That he wanted me. He sure did take his time to come around. I smiled and closed my eyes. If only I could just freeze us in this moment.

Eric woke me up licking my neck and rubbing my nipples.

"Lover, I like waking with you lying beside me. We should do this every evening."

"What time is it?"

"5:00."

"Isn't it too early for you to be up?" he is continuing his assault on my neck and nipping at my ear lobe. I can feel my center becoming moist.

"No lover, I am very old. I don't require as much sleep as young vampires. I just can't be in the sunlight." His much talented hands are moving down to my center. "UMMM, lover, you feel so good."

My breathing was becoming quicker. He moved to my breast with his licking and teasing. I couldn't hold back my moan.

"OH Eric…."

"Sookie.."

He continued to move down my body placing soft sensuous kisses. Licking between my breast then kissing down to my belly button. Licking all the way down to the small patch of golden curls. I automatically spread my legs farther apart. I could feel my heat building. He was torturously licking my folds.

"OH Sookie….lick lick…You…lick lick…taste so…lick…fuckin….lick…great!!!" Then he nibbled just enough for me to raise my hips up off the bed and scream with pleasure. He pushed a finger in and worked it in and out and continued teasing my nub with his tongue. He pushed another finger in and started to move in and out a little quicker and harder. I closed my eyes feeling my release coming.

"Look at me lover."

I open my eyes and he kept working my center and rubbed my nub with his thumb. He moved his tongue to the inside of my thigh. Licking up and down on the artery, he kissed it then slid his fangs into the skin. My center clenched his fingers and I screamed out with my release.

He licked the bite marks to heal them and then he made his way back up to my breast, then to my lips. Sucking my bottom lip into his mouth. He sucked and nipped my lip and I groaned . I could feel how hard he was on my leg. I just wanted him inside me.

I managed to find my voice, "Please Eric…"

I didn't have to ask twice I felt him push into me and he filled me completely up. Thrusting harder and harder. He held my wrist with his hands. My moans were growing louder. My hips were meeting his thrust. I could feel a low growl in his chest. He sucked my nipple into his mouth and I could feel my climax coming.

"Oh Eric…Oh… OH.." I started to clench around his gracious plenty. His fangs pierced my breast just at the time of my release. He kept thrusting and filled me with his seed. He was licking his mark on my breast and then he collapsed beside me.

We both laid there panting. I knew he didn't have to breathe but he did it anyway. I loved him for it.

"I love you Eric"

He pulled me close to him pulling my chin up to look into his eyes. "It's nice to hear you say it lover. I love you too."

He pulled me up to lay my head on his chest.

"Eric I should get up and get a shower. Amelia and Tray will be here soon."

I crawled out of bed and went to the bathroom and started the shower. As soon as it got hot enough I stepped into the stream of water. It felt so good. I closed my eyes and got my hair wet. When I opened them Eric was pouring shampoo into his hand.

"Here lover allow me."

"Ok, oh, I forgot to tell you that Lindsey came by today and invited us to go to a club in Destin with them tonight."

"If you would like to do that then we will go. What time?"

"She said 9. She invited Tray and Amelia to come too. Sit on the seat so I can wash your hair now." He sat on the seat and allowed me to wash his hair.

"It's a nice club."

"You have been there before?"

"Yes, I've known James for a long time. It's a Supe bar. A vampire owns it but all kinds of supes are welcome. It's a big tourist attraction in the summer but during this time of year it's mainly supes in there." He stood and we gently washed each others body. After washing each other we turned off the water and he grabbed a towel and started to dry me from head to toe. Then I dried him. I wrapped my hair in the towel and went to get dressed. As I walked into the room I heard a knock on the door.

"Sookie?"

"Amelia? I'll be right out."

"OK, I'll be down stairs."

I quickly got dressed and gave Eric a quick peck on the cheek.

"I'll be right back."

And I ran out of the room. Down the stairs and gave Amelia a hug.

"I'm so glad that ya'll made it. Are you tired?"

"Naw, Tray did all the driving. I just need a hot shower and I'm ready to go again." I giggled at her. Amelia is always on the go. Tray walked in with his arms loaded down with bags.

"Amelia where do I put all this shit?"

"Oops, sorry Tray, right in that room. That will be our room." Then he exited the room again and back to the car.

"My gosh Amelia how much stuff did you bring?"

"Well… you never know what I might need while I'm here." Tray was walking back in with a single bag.

"Let me guess," I said, "That's Tray's bag?"

"You know it." he said.

Just then Eric came down stairs.

"Eric." Tray nodded.

"Tray." Eric responded in the same manner.

"Viking." Amelia said with a giggle.

"Witch." Eric smirked.

"We are going to freshen up a little."

"Ok Amelia, we need to be ready to leave by 9."

"No prob."

Tray and Amelia walked back to their room.

"Eric I need to finish getting ready and I need to get something to eat."

"There's a seafood place down the street. Why don't you get ready and I will take you there for dinner."

"Ok, I'll be back in a flash."

"I need to check in with Pam and I'll wait for you outside."

I went upstairs quickly. I brushed out my hair and blow dried it. I put a few curls in the bottom of it and left it down. I know that Eric likes it down. I added a little bit of make-up. I put on a simple black dress with a square neckline. It had an empire waist which just emphasized the girls. I knew Eric would love that. Tara had set it aside for me when it went on sale. Every girl needs a little black dress. And because of the square neckline I could still wear a bra with it. Of course I chose a beautiful black lacey bra and a matching thong. Always come prepared. I would bring a black short sleeve crop jacket just in case I got cool in the restaurant. I would just wear a pair of black flats. I went down stairs and out back to see Eric. In the moonlight, I could see him standing on the beach. With my shoes in hand I walked down to the beach. I knew he could sense me. I could feel that something wasn't right.

When I reached him I put my hand out to take his and said, "Eric….Is everything alright."

"Yes, everything is fine." He turned to look at me.

Then the feeling through the bond changed. I immediately felt lust and love through the bond.

"Lover, you look good enough to eat." He purred.

I felt a twitch down below. And my heart rate picked up. I smiled up at him. "I just might hold you to that later."

"A little taste never hurt anything, right lover?" He bent down and kissed me softly, then moved to my neck where he licked me along my now racing pulse. He smelled my skin and whispered in my ear, "I should take you right here where we stand." And he kissed me long and deep. I could feel that he was growing against my stomach and I knew he could smell my arousal. Then my stomach growled. The toast from this morning just wasn't enough.

"Come lover, it is time to feed something other than our desires." We both laughed.

When we reached the house Amelia and Tray was sitting on the couch. We decided to all go eat together and then go to the club. Eric called James and they were going to meet us there. Tray wanted to take their own vehicle just in case they decided to come back early. I loved the restaurant and I ate like a pig. Amelia and Lindsey hit it off immediately.

We all went to the bar. It was called 'The Hut'. The sign glowed, it had a huge moon with bats flying across it and a straw roofed beach hut. The moon would grow brighter and dim again. The bats would fly across the moon as it grew bright and would disappear. It would definitely catch your eye. The Hut was across the street from the ocean. It was a huge club, 2 stories. The 2nd story was closed right now. They said that in the summer that both stories were full and a line to get in. There are private party rooms underneath the club. For a Tuesday night they were still busy. Apparently a lot of supes come here during this time of year.

We walked past the line and straight to the door. The huge bouncer there took one look at us and nodded to James. When we entered, there was a girl scantily dressed that showed us to a large table in the back of the room. We were close to the dance floor. The bar was on the other side of the dance floor. The waitress took our order and walked away. I forgot to put my shields up and it didn't take long for me to hear some girl's thoughts about her and Eric with another girl. After that my shields were up to stay. We chatted for a while and had a couple of drinks. Us girls decided to hit the dance floor. We rocked the place. Swaying our bodies to the music and sliding up against each other, we had everybody's attention. I could feel Eric's eyes on me. His lust was crashing over me like waves. After the song we went to the bathroom. Why do they always put the bathrooms down a long dark hallway? We giggled and laughed. After I finished I waited on Amelia and Lindsey. We walked out of the bathroom together to be greeted by three men. Three Weres to be exact.

"Hey girls, how about a dance."

"No thanks, we're here with somebody." I said.

"Yes, dead people. You need warm bodies, live bodies."

"I beg your pardon, Tray is not dead."

"Maybe not, but your friends here, they're with vamps."

We tried to push through but they weren't going to let that happen. They had too much to drink and you could smell it on them. They had us cornered now. Pushing us toward the men's bathroom. I started to panic.

"I believe the ladies have told you that they were with some one did they not?" The familiar voice came from down the hall. Eric, Tray and James were standing there.

"What's it to ya?" Not the smartest thing he could have said.

"Unless you have a death wish, then maybe you should let them pass now!" Tray spoke this time. This time they looked up and saw Tray with his eyes almost glowing, my 6.5 Viking standing there seething, and James with his fangs down.

"No harm we just wanted to ask them for a dance."

"I believe the ladies already have dance partners." James was very matter of fact and he flashed his fangs.

We pushed our way past them and walked straight to our table. We were slightly shaken. But ok. The guys came back to the table with a fresh drink for us.

James said that the trouble makers had gotten thrown out. We decided to just continue with our evening. We all danced a bit more then after a while we decided to call it a night. When we walked to our cars, to our surprise we had company. They were waiting for us and pissed. I was glad that we all left together because they had friends with them.

"Get in the car now Sookie!"

I saw Amelia and Lindsey quickly running to their cars. Tray was pulling off his shirt. I ran to jump in my car and a hand reached out and grabbed me. He grabbed me around my throat. I screamed "Eric…."

"Let her go or you will die!"

I was panicking. He was starting to constrict my airway and laughing. I felt like I was going to pass out. In vampire speed Eric had him by his neck. He released me and fell to the ground gasping for breath. I heard a gloopy sound. I knew Tray had changed. I heard the man yell and hit something. Eric picked me up.

"Are you ok lover?"

I just shook me head yes. He kissed me and set me down in front of the car door. "Get in Lover."

I got in and locked the door. I opened my mind and felt there were 7 snarled minds, 2 voids, and 2 humans. I just yelled, "Eric there are 6." I knew that he could hear me. I looked out my window to see several figures walking to Eric. The trunk popped open and closed again. I found out very quickly what Eric had gotten. He was swinging his sword. I could see a head of a wolf lying on the ground. I could hear a howling of a wolf. And some whining came from another. I saw Eric stab a wolf and it was lying still on the ground bleeding. There were two wolves snapping at one another and I couldn't tell which one was Tray. Then the bigger one had the gray wolf by the throat. It was limp on the ground. I saw one trying to run off. James had broken the neck of one and he jumped in front of the other trying to leave. He picked him up by the neck and squeezed. It fell to the ground in a heap. I looked around and there were 6 dead wolves on the ground. Three had already changed back. Tray was in the process of changing. I got out of the car and ran to Eric. He kissed me hard and pulled me close. Since James was the sheriff of this area he needed to stay. Eric sent me back with Lindsey. Amelia and Tray was still hugging and he only had his jeans on. James gave Lindsey a kiss and told us to head back to the house that he and Eric would be back later. He was going to need to take care of the mess. Eric kissed me again and helped me get into Lindsey's car. Amelia, Tray, Lindsey, and I headed back to the house. I hated leaving without Eric.
