Chapter 10
Eric was helping me back into the fluffy white robe that hung on the back of his bathroom door. I really needed to do something about getting some clothes. As if reading my mind Eric said. "After our meeting with Pam and Bill I will send Pam to fetch your things from wherever you where staying at." I nodded once at him and remembered that I had been able to pick up on Bill's emotions. Eric was just reaching for the door to open it when I touched his arm gently to get him to look at me. "Grab the brush I don't know where you keep it." He looked down at me quizzically but moved across the room towards the cabinet.
He bent forward and grabbed the brush and as he turned around I was there pressed firmly against him. I stood on tip toe so that my lips where right next to his ear. I kissed his lobe gently and breathed quietly. "Do you think they can hear me if I talk to you just like this?" He shook his head just the tinniest of movements letting me know that they could not hear me. I went down onto my heels and then back up on my tip toes, standing in that position is not the easiest of things to do. Without a word to me Eric lifted me up and my legs automatically wrapped around his waist. He took the one step forward and pressed my back against the cabinets a little more noisily than necessary to my thoughts. But then I realized that he was making the noise intentionally for the other vampires in the house so that there was an explanation as to why we had not come out of the bathroom yet though we were clearly out of the tub.
He kissed my neck and I had to focus very hard not to allow myself to become distracted by that kiss. "What is it my wife." He whispered just as quietly in my ear.
"I could hear Bill's thoughts too, when him and Pam came in and I could feel his emotions. I do not think it is just Vampires that are bound to you by blood. Look," I put both my hands on his face and concentrated after all he had guided me through his thoughts to his connection with Sookie could I not do something similar with him after all I had established a link with him before so that he could hear me even though I was not in the room with him. I sent our conciseness's out into his living room and there was Bill and Pam. Pam was sitting very still watching Bill, but Bill was anything but still he was pacing relentlessly back and forth across Eric's living room. I focused on Bill and his thoughts and emotions swept over us in a wave almost pulling us both under. This guy had issues, he tormented himself quite thoroughly for just being what he was, and not to mention all his problems he had with Sookie. I heard Eric gasp as the thoughts where washing him away but so did the Vampires in our living room they both looked up and towards the hallway. "Sshh." I whispered in his ear. I gently disengaged from Pam and Bill pulling myself away from the living room and back into our bodies.
Eric's eyes fluttered open and he smiled at me, "That was amazing wife." I could catch the double entendre in those words. He meant that the actual act we had just done was an amazing experience while letting the others think we had been having sex again. I just nodded once at him. He leaned forward and breathed into my ear. "I know that you are relived that Pam stopped me from turning you but now more than ever I know beyond a doubt that you have to be turned before anyone finds out. Say nothing to either of them about what you can do. If you need to tell me something while we are speaking to them grab my hand and feed it to me as you have just done and I will do the same."
I nodded once, "What are we going to tell them?" I whispered.
He rolled his eyes and shrugged. "I will, wing it." He said I looked at him confused. "It is a modern term; it means I will just go with it as it comes to me." I nodded again, he kissed me softly. "JAG älska du fru. (I love you wife.)"
"JAG älska du alltför man. (I love you too husband)" he gently set me down wrapped my hand firmly in his and lead me out into the living room to face the curious Vampires.
