This is the last chapter on this story line, and if anybody has any other ideas let me know ... and just to let you know, Eric is glad to be out of the doghouse. He did take quite a beating this last little while!
Disclaimer: Not Mine
Enjoy!
I too got up out of the chair that I was sitting in and despite myself, I held my arms out to him. Gladly, he stepped into my embrace and we wrapped our arms around each other, crushing each other in as tightly as we possibly could. I breathed n his scent and he breathed in mine. We were seeking a little comfort in each other's arms.
"I love you, Sookie" he said.
"I love you too, Eric" I said.
"Do you want me to leave? I can go to Pam's if you want me too." he asked, almost fearfully.
"No. I don't. I want you to stay, but I need some space." I said, and I started to pull out of the hug.
"Take all the time you need, lover" he said, and after giving me a peck on the forehead, he left the house at vampire speed.
After he left, I just stood where I was for a few moments, compeletely silent and unmoving.
Get a grip! I thought, shaking myself out of my daydream, and slowly padded down into our bedroom. I sat on the bed for a few moments, deliberating what I was going to do ... not just now, but about everything.
I decided that I was going to have a shower, and that was what I did. After that, I came out of the bathroom, and debated about putting on one of my own night dresses, but then I spied one of Eric's t-shirts lying on the floor, so I put it on instead.
After that I climbed into bed, and flipped through the channels on the tv, but I found nothing that I could settle myself with. I then tried reading, and surfing the internet.
But I couldn't settle down at anything.
So, eventually, I switched off both the laptop and the tv, and put the book to the side, and snuggled down into the bed.
And I couldn't get to sleep. I just wanted to cuddle up beside Eric, and to feel safe in his arms in the way that I only could with him.
With a sigh, I reached over to the bedside, and picked up my mobile phone or as the Americans call it, my cell phone, and called Eric.
"Hey, lover" he said rather nervously.
Fuck. this was pointless.
"Come home Eric, I want you to come home. I forgive you. And just come on up." I said.
"Give me two seconds" he answered.
"I love you" I said.
"I love you too, Sookie" he said, and then hung up.
A few seconds later, he appeared in the doorway.
I held out my arms like a child who wanted to be picked up, and he came over, and joined me on the bed. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me down onto his lap, holding his arms tightly around my waist. I wrapped mine around his neck, and pulled his head down to mine for a fierce passionate kiss. Our tongues passionately duelled against each other, and our teeth violently chattered against each other.
"I love you, Sookie … and I am so fucking sorry." he growled. And as much as I didn't want to say anything, I knew that I had to take a stand now.
"I know … and I love you too, Eric. But if you ever do that to me again, I will leave. You can't ever betray me like that again." I said, pulling back so that I was looking at him straight in the eyes.
"I won't, lover. I can't say that I won't ever hurt you, because that will probably happen at some point in the future, but I won't ever intentionally hurt you or betray you like that. Ever" he rasped.
That was good enough for me.
Our lips met once more, and this time, my hands started to rub themselves into Eric's hair as the kiss deepened. Within a few seconds, he had me turned over so that I was lying on the bed and he started to give me kisses along my cheek, jaw and neck. That was as far as he got before I forcibly pulled him back to my mouth, for another kiss. After that one broke, he started to give me kisses down my body, going from my chin down to my neck and then to my chest (he paid some extra attnetion there to my still as yet fully clothed breasts bu pulling and sucking at both of them in turn) before continuing down to my stomach and carefully down past my navel (where I wanted his attentions the most), and on down my leg, right to my foot, then to my toes. He paused there, taking my smallest toe into hismouth and nibbling on it. After a few moments of that – during which he never took his eyes off me, and I never took mine off his, he began to make is way once again back up my foot, kissing, nipping and sucking as he went, this time, whispering few words as he did so, but he was so quiet that I could barely hear what it was thet he was saying to me.
"I love you, Sookie. You are perfect. I love you so much. I don't deserve a second chance. I want to look after you and protect you, forever." He said, and he continued until he made it up to the split in between my legs.
"Watch me, lover" he said, a little louder this time.
"I am" I almost shouted at him, wanting him desperately to hurry up.
He rewarded me with a devilish smirk, and pushed the t-shirt up to my stomach, and pulled my underwear off, before diving in. He spent the rest of the night, showing me how much he loved me.
The best part of fighting was almost definately the making up.
So ... review to let me know ...
