Chapter 10
ERIC'S POV-
What an evening it has been. I love a good fight. I could have taken all six of the stupid fuckers down. They were the most stupid dogs I had ever seen. James went through their cars and found out that they were from New Orleans. He called the pack master in his area to find out who to call there. While he was on the phone making all these phone calls it gave me a minute to think about the conversation that I had with Pam earlier tonight. I couldn't ruin Sookie's night and give her something to worry about. I wish that I didn't have to think about this myself. Fucking De Castro. I can't believe that he is making a formal announcement of his protection of Sookie. All of the Louisiana sheriffs will have to be there. She will have to go and there will be a ball. I just don't trust that bastard. I don't want her around him at all. At least I will be there to protect her. Now, to tell her. As James approached it brought me back to the here and now.
"We shouldn't be here much longer."
"What's the plan?" I asked.
"Well the pack master there recognized a couple of the names as some guys that work as hired guns so to speak." He grinned. "He will contact the families and take care of that end. The pack master here will be taking care of the bodies and vehicles. I told him that we would throw the stupid fucks in the cars and he could take care of it from there."
"That's fine. It shouldn't take long. Do you think they were on a job here?"
"They weren't very good at their job if that's the case. But the pack master in New Orleans will be calling me after looking into it. It may take a while. It seems after the vampires took over there and with all the damages with Katrina it's been a little difficult and things don't run so smoothly." He stated.
A little later we had the Weres in their cars and the pack master was pulling in to the parking lot. He had several other Weres with him. James spoke to them and before long we were in the car heading back to the house.
"Eric now that Amelia and Tray are here would you like my beach house to stay at while you are here? I know you would rather have some privacy." He said grinning.
"Well Sookie and I may be going back to Shreveport soon." I wasn't happy about the situation.
"Is there a problem?"
"I hope not. Sookie saved the new King's ass and now he wants to make a formal announcement that she is under his protection." I could feel through the bond that Sookie was upset and confused. She wasn't in danger but something was wrong.
"That's a rare thing. Not very many King's would put a human under their protection." He looked concerned.
"I wasn't too concerned when he did it but now I might be having second thoughts about it. When he was going through paper work he kept asking fuckin questions about her and the bond." I'm sure he could hear how pissed I was.
"That definitely sounds like something's up."
"It makes me wonder about the trouble tonight. The King surely knows where I am. I didn't offer the information but I would be surprised if he didn't have me followed."
"Yes, you may be right about that. I will let you know when I find out what is going on."
I nodded at him.
"So do you mind if I ask you a personal question?"
"You can ask but I do not know if I will answer it."
"Do you like being bonded to a human?"
"Are you asking because this is something that may happen with you?" I said with a smirk.
"It's something that Lindsey and I have…. considered." Now he was smiling.
"Have you ever bonded with anyone before?"
"No, have you bonded before Sookie?"
"No. She is my first and I can't say that there could ever be another."
"Do you love her?" He had a fucking smirk on his face.
"She is mine!"
"Yes, Eric I'm aware of that but do you love her?"
I couldn't believe that he was fucking asking me this. We don't discuss things like this. I just won't answer. I'll just turn the tables back on him.
"Have you ever given Lindsey your blood?"
"Yes, once." He eyed me strangely.
"So is bonding your idea or Lindsey's?"
"We both are wanting to bond. And I take it that since you are changing the subject that would mean that you do love her." He had that fuckin smirk on his face again like he was so fuckin smart.
I refused to comment on that. She knows that I love her but I'm not about to go out and get matching t-shirts any time soon. We were almost back to the house and I was glad. I really needed to get to Sookie. Her emotions were every where.
"Do you know when you will be leaving?"
"No not until I speak with Sookie.
As we pulled up to Lindsey's house I nodded at James and he got out and said "Northman." Now I needed to get to Sookie. I could tell she was close but not at the house. I parked and took to the air.
SOOKIE'S POV
Lindsey and I drove back a little on the quiet side. After all that happen I just wasn't in a chatty mood. After a little bit Lindsey said "Sookie I have something to tell you but I don't want to upset you or worry you."
This wasn't good. I just wanted her to tell me and get it over with. Like ripping off a Band-Aid. "Spill it Lindsey."
"Well….I hate to even say anything because this dream was a little different then some of my dreams in the past but I have to tell you…just don't take it bad or anyth…."
"Lindsey just tell me already!" I was being very snappy.
"Ok, I had a dream that you went to Vegas. Eric was with you and there were a lot of other vampires. There was one that was kinda scary. And…" She hesitated like she wasn't going to tell me any more.
"And!!!"
"Well I don't know exactly I was frightened when I woke up. Like I was having a panic attack. I didn't really see anything bad happening ….that I can remember. That's what's strange. I usually remember all my dreams. But it was like parts were missing or something. So I know that you are going to be going to Vegas. I don't know when but I know that you are going, so just be careful." She was rambling nervously now.
"Ok then, if I go to Vegas then I promise to be careful." This was really scaring me but I didn't want it to show. I was afraid that this peaceful time wasn't going to last for long and now I was pretty certain that trouble was on the way.
"Oh, you are going to Vegas. So please, please, please be careful. And if I have any more dreams about this than I will just have to call you and tell you about it." I could tell she still felt nervous or anxious or something.
"Ok and when I find out I'm going to Vegas I will call you and let you know."
"Ok."
"I'm going to take a little quiet walk on the beach before Eric gets back. Thanks for the warning and I'll talk to you tomorrow." I really needed to be alone right now and try to let this soak in.
"Ok Sookie, I will see you tomorrow."
"Night."
"Night."
I went in the house, up the stairs, and to my room. I changed out of my dress and put some jeans on with a long sleeve shirt. I grabbed a light jacket and slid my tennis shoes on. When I got down stairs Amelia was in the kitchen.
"Everything ok Sookie?"
"Yea, I'm going to take a little walk on the beach." I said with a little bit of edge in my voice.
"Are you sure everything is ok?" Amelia's concern was apparent.
"Oh yea, you should be with Tray right now. I'm sure Eric will be here in a bit. Go enjoy what's left of your night. I'm going to get some fresh air. I'll see you in the morning." I just needed to be alone.
"Ok Sookie, I'll see you in the morning." I knew she would want to talk about this again.
"Ok, night Amelia." And with that I turned walked out the back door and checked my pocket to make sure that I had picked up the key. The smell of the ocean, the sounds of the waves rushing up on the shore and cool breeze was just what I needed. I just kept replaying what Lindsey had told me. I just kept walking and thinking. After about 30 minutes I was starting to feel a little tired. I'm sure that it was getting late. I just sat on the beach where I was and thought some more. I know that I should me afraid. But she said that Eric would be with me. He would protect me. He always protects me. I'm just going to have to talk to Eric about this.
It wasn't long and my mind was drifting to me and Eric. I can't believe that we are together. So much has happen in such a short time. I thought about all the times that we shared blood together. I now wished things would've been different for us in Rhodes. He had said that he wished they would've been different too. If I wouldn't have been with Quinn, I know that things would have been different. I wonder if I was really always his. I think about that date with Quinn and Eric showing up that night. He said that I would be his again. He didn't even have his memory back and yet he acted as if he wanted me. Well he always wanted to have sex with me but now that I think about it, I think there was something more.
It's time to rectify our last bonding. We need to make it right. I need him to know that I want to be with him forever.
I was startled when I heard Eric speak. "Lover, is everything all right?"
"I don't know Eric." I said with a hint of sadness.
"Tell me." He sat behind me and wrapped his arms around me and just held on to me.
"Did you know that Lindsey's a dreamer?"
"Lots of people dream."
"No I mean that her dreams come to pass." I stated. I could feel his body tense up.
"No lover, I did not realize this. Did she have a dream about you?"
"Yes."
"Tell me about it."
"She couldn't tell me all of it. She said that it was unusual. She said that we went to Vegas and there were a lot of vampires there and that there was a scary one in particular. She said that she woke up frighten but she said that she didn't really see anything that she can remember that was scary. It just has me a little freaked out. Why would we be going to Vegas?" Then I felt anger, panic, and concern quickly pass across the bond but just like a flash. "Eric what is it? Are you keeping something from me?"
"Sookie, I'm not keeping it from you we just have not had time to talk in private yet." He said grimly.
"What Eric? What are you trying to say?"
"When I talked to Pam tonight she said that the King has requested our presence in a week and a half so he can announce to the vampires in our state of his formal protection of you." He was not happy. I could hear it in his tone and I could feel it in the bond.
"Why would he want to have everyone present for this? Can't he just e-mail everyone about it or put it in a newsletter or something?" I sounded a bit whiney when I said this but not on purpose I just didn't want to go.
"No Sookie. This is a rare thing for a King to put you in his formal protection." He nuzzled his face in my hair and kissed my neck.
"Are we in danger?" I was trying to make myself feel better.
"We are always in danger and it seems that you attract danger." He smiled at that.
"This is not funny Eric." I tried to wiggle out of his arms but he wouldn't let me go.
"Dear one, do not worry. I will be with you at all times." He was trying to make be feel better.
"Not during the day."
"Then I can hire a bodyguard to protect you or you can just stay in our room until I'm up."
"We are sharing a room together?" I was grinning about that. I like sharing my bed with Eric and in more ways than one.
"Yes lover, the King told Pam that he would like us to be his special guest at his home. He knows that we share a bond."
"I will have to talk to Sam about taking more time off now." I wasn't happy about that.
"I will send him one of my employees if he needs your shift to be covered. But I will probably need to get back to Shreveport soon. I need to get things in order before I leave again. Pam runs the bar smoothly but there are a few things that I may need to tend to as sheriff."
"I understand. Could you stay just two more nights and go back on Friday?" I just couldn't bear for this time to end.
"Only if you promise me you will go back with me on Friday night."
"Of course. I wouldn't have it any other way." I smiled from ear to ear.
"Come on lover it's getting late. Get on my back and I will fly us back."
"Ummm… are you sure you don't want to walk?"
"I'm sure lover." He turned me to face him and gave me one of those kisses that leaves you panting.
I quickly climbed on his back and he flew us back to the house in no time at all. He landed us on the balcony and I handed him my key. He went inside and he picked me up in his arms and carried me back to our room.
"How about a hot shower my love?"
"That sounds pretty good."
"Besides I want to remind you of the first time that we were together."
All I could do was smile and blush like a school girl. The memory of that time will always be a special moment in my life. He went to the bathroom and I followed him in. I stripped down and got into the shower and he followed me in. I reached for the soap.
"I believe that is my job lover." He took the soap out of my hand. And he lathered up his hands with the soap and began to wash me. Starting with my arms, then down my sides but not touching my breast. He washed my stomach and leaned down to my ear and said, "Turn around lover." Then he washed my shoulders and back. Picking up the shampoo he lathered up my hair. After rinsing off I picked up the soap and lathered my hands. And stepped up to him and wrapped my arms around and washed that fine ass of his. He made a grateful sound and spread his legs farther apart so I could wash him better. Then I moved to his chest.
"So does this bring back some memories?" I asked as I sucked on his nipple. He grabbed the back of my head to keep me close and I bit him a little. He moaned. And then the walk down memory lane was over. His hands grabbed me and pulled me into his embrace, kissing me urgently. The next thing I knew I was up against the shower wall and he was kneeling in front of me. He had my leg draped over his shoulder. His mouth was doing wonderful things to my center. I immediately reached up and took my breast in my hand. I began rolling my nipple between my fingers. He moaned and pushed two fingers into me and I gasped. He turned his head and licked the inside of my thigh and then he bit and I screamed in shear delight. My walls were clenching his fingers and then he was licking the bite on my thigh. He stood and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He pushed into me. After thrusting into me a couple of times he yelled out, "Fuck Sookie."
I leaned to his ear and nibbled his lobe. He was thrusting me so hard that I was afraid I would have bruises on my back tomorrow where I it was bumping up against the tile of the shower. He sucked softly on my neck. Then he moved lower down and sucked a nipple in his mouth. I moaned and he sucked harder. His thrust became quicker and deeper.
"Oh Eric!"
"You taste so fucking good!"
He bit right above my nipple and my walls were contracting around his long hard member. He yelled something that I didn't understand and I yelled out as we both reached our release together. He licked the marks on my breast so they would heal quicker.
We both were tired and I could tell that dawn was approaching. After a few minutes he set me down and turned off the water that was luke warm now. We dried off and went back to the room. We slid under the covers and he pulled me into him. We just seemed to fit together. He kissed my lips softly and said, "I love you Dear One."
"I love you too."
Then we both slipped off to sleep.
