Chapter 10

J. Timberlake Is An Idiot, Sexy Never Left

His mouth was on my ear, whispering things I didn't understand the exact meaning of but were making my body respond anyway.

He carried me to the bed and lay me down gently. As he settled next to me, he lay on his side, his right hand supporting his head so he could gaze down at me. He was drinking me in and his thoughts told me that he liked what he saw.

I've never thought my body was anything extraordinary. I know I'm not bad to look at but I don't have anything special that you couldn't find in any town in any state. I'm a little rounder than I'd like to be but Cosmo say's a size 8 is fine. I'm pretty ample in the bosom and I keep a year round tan, but like I said, nothing out of the ordinary. You couldn't prove that by the way Eric was looking at me.

His eyes looked on fire, his fingers traveled up and down my body, stopping here or there, rubbing and stroking when I responded. I could feel his excitement, it was pressed tight against my hip. I honestly wondered if it would fit without a shoe horn.

Eric laughed and I was a tad embarrassed that my musing had been inadvertently broadcast to him.

His face looked serious when I finally composed myself enough to look up at him again.

He began talking in his native tongue and mentally translating to me at the same time.

"Vi är bundna till varandra, min älskarinna."

We are bound to each other, my lover.

"Jag lovar er mitt hjärta, men det slår inte mer."

I pledge you my heart, though it beats no more.

"Mitt blod liv i blodet, två görs en."

My blood lives in your blood, two made one.

"Du har makt över mig som ingen annan."

You have power over me like no other.

"För jag har aldrig känt kärlek som jag gärna skulle dö för att skydda."

For I have never known love that I would gladly die to protect.

I could feel the tears start, tears for so much wasted time when I could have had this all along. His tongue collected my drops of regret as he sighed contentedly.

"Sookie, are you ready to be with me? This may not mean the same for us but I wish for it to. I have pledged myself to you, something that I could never imagine doing. I feel unlike myself, out of control but I cannot remember wanting something so badly. I cannot imagine a life without you anymore. Do you understand?" His eyes were as close to pleading as I imagined a Vampires could get.

"Yes, I understand." And then I did something that not only shocked the bejeezus out of Eric but stunned me as well.

"Du är den jag gjordes för. Jag vandrar ensam längre."

The strange words tumbled from my lips without pause, and I knew what they meant as I said them.

You are the one I was made for. I wander alone no more.

Now when the hell did I pick up a second language?
