Chapter Eleven:
"I am so sorry." Godric murmured into Ellie's hair as he set her down on the bed between his legs, resting his back against the headboard. "I'm going to have to heal you, Elizabeth."
Ellie silently cried against his chest, her eyes squeezed shut. Godric eyed the cuts on her arm and leg and couldn't deny the sudden desire to taste her blood. He had nearly forgotten the sweet intoxicating smell of her blood; the blood that any vampire would be willing to kill for. But he couldn't think such thoughts. Ellie was shaking from head to toe, scared out of her mind. He couldn't possibly think about frightening her more by not controlling his urges. Instead, he gently lifted her by the waist so she was facing away from him, her back flush against his chest. He whispered words of comfort into her ear, his nose nuzzling against his neck before pulling himself away to bite down into his wrist. He didn't waist a drop of blood as he quickly brought his arm around her, placing his bloodied wrist against her lips. Through her sobbing, Ellie parted her lips slightly, allowing the first drops of blood to escape past her lips. She swallowed the blood and only moments later was she grabbing onto his arm and pulling his wrist closer.
Godric let the back of his head rest on the headboard, his eyes closing as Ellie sucked on his wrist. He wondered if anything Eric had accused him of was true. He didn't deny that he was attracted to Ellie. In the beginning, it had been because of who she looked like, her resemblance to Kyra undeniable. But as he grew to know her over the months she lived with him in Dallas, he found himself growing fond of her for herself, and not because of the former Phoenix. Ellie was a burst of life that had happened upon him. In the past century he had changed from the monster he once was. He saw his existence as useless, and was ready to end it all. But he found Ellie, and everything had changed. Her smile, her beautiful smile, was contagious, brightening up even the darkest days. Her eyes shone so bright, sparkling whenever the girl had a mischievous idea. She was outgoing once you got to know her, but her shyness was almost adorable when she was around those she didn't know. She was absolutely perfect in every way, he couldn't think of one thing that was wrong about her.
So yes, he did find her attractive, he found her to be beautiful both inside and out. He would be honoured for her to feel the same about him.
But he couldn't forget the past. He couldn't forget his progeny that he knew loved Ellie dearly. He, himself, had hurt Ellie. He had spoken Kyra's name only seconds before they were about to have sexual relations. Ellie was heartbroken, and he still remembered the look on her face to this day. He never wanted to hurt her. He never wanted to see those big green eyes filling with tears. He had caused her a great deal of pain and he would never be able to take that back. Ellie may not remember it now, but she would one day. Could he simply just forget about the past?
Did he want to?
Eric may have traumatized Ellie time and time again, but Godric knew he loved her. It was apparent in the way Eric had acted in the past two years. He was abusive, possessive, and didn't seem to care about anyone other than himself. But Eric cared for her; he loved her, even if he did have a poor way to show it. Godric couldn't hurt his progeny, his mate for the past thousand years, by taking the only woman he had ever loved.
But what about him? He had gone 1400 years without a lover. He may have been drawn to Ellie because of Kyra, but he had grown to truly care about her for herself. Was it fair to hand her over to the man who didn't appreciate her in the way that she deserved?
He wasn't so sure anymore.
Godric was interrupted from his thoughts by a moan emitting from his lips. It had been much too long since the last time someone had drank his blood, the last person being the girl against him. He had nearly forgotten the sexuality involved, his blood becoming a part of her. He felt his arousal grow with a mind of its own as he tightened his arm around her waist and pulled her even closer. He knew soon she would be taking in too much of his blood, but he just couldn't pull his wrist away. He enjoyed the sensations surging through him, never wanting for her to stop. The feel of her body against him, her small movements that were driving him insane.
It was eventually Ellie who was the one to stop, softly pulling his arm down and watching as the wound healed within only seconds. She wiped her mouth, a small smile crossing her lips at the way Godric's blood had made her feel. She glanced down at her arm, searching for the cuts she knew had been there only moments ago. She was awed to find her skin flawless, smooth without even a hint that she had been injured. She remembered Godric telling her about the effects of vampire blood, but didn't remember it for herself. It amazed her to witness the blood working before her eyes. She went to turn slightly, to thank Godric, but a yawn escaped her lips instead. She giggled, the sound like music to Godric's ears, and smiled embarrassingly.
"I don't know how in the world I'm tired after tonight, but I am." She spoke, her fingers intertwining with Godric's.
Godric didn't say a word as he traced invisible designs on her side, his eyes still closed as he tried to control the emotions within him. After a moment, and feeling Ellie shift so she was curled up against him, he lowered his head and opened his eyes. He smiled to himself as he watched her wrap her arms around his middle, laying her head on his chest. He ran a hand through her soft hair and just held her close to him, never wanting to let her go. He could have been in that position for hours and he wouldn't mind. It felt like she fit perfectly in his arms, like she was meant to be there. He wished he could freeze time, for this never to end.
"I had a dream like this once." Ellie's voice was soft.
"You did?"
She nodded against his chest. "We were...like this. After the attack outside of the bookstore when you first saved my life."
"I remember that night as if it were yesterday." Godric admitted, continuing to run his hand over her silky smooth hair.
"I wish I did." She moved once again so she could look up at him. "I just want to remember everything again, Godric."
"I know, sweetheart." Godric kissed the top of her head. "I wish I could give you your memories back, I really wish I could."
"Why...why do I remember things with him?"
Godric was hesitant to answer at first. "You've always had a deeper bond with Eric. Perhaps not relationship wise, but your blood bond runs very deep."
"I-I don't understand why. Why did I care about him? He's...he's horrible, Godric." Her arms tightened around his waist.
"He doesn't mean to be." Godric assured, though he wasn't so sure of that statement anymore.
"Why can't he be more like you?
Godric wasn't sure how to answer her plea. He wasn't so sure he wanted to. Instead, he kept his arms wrapped tightly around her and just enjoyed their time together.
I hadn't realized both Godric and I had fallen asleep until I found myself waking up the next morning. I let out a small groan, attempting to stretch my arms out as I tried to sit up. Except that I couldn't. I frowned as my eyes flashed open, only to find myself trapped against Godric's chest, his comforting stony arms securely around me. I couldn't help but grin as I gazed up at Godric, a peaceful expression on his face as he slept. He just looked so handsome, even as he rested. I shifted my position and blushed as my hand brushed his toned chest. Part of me wanted to lift his shirt to get an eyeful, but I quickly nixed that idea and somehow managed to escape his arms and push myself off of the bed. I straightened my dress, gazing down to where the cuts from the glass should have been, shaking my head in amazement.
"Crazy." I murmured before hearing a soft knock on the hotel room door.
I glanced down at Godric, caressing his cheek for a moment before laying a soft kiss on his cheek. I made my way over to the door and slid out of the room, only to find Sookie standing there in the hallway.
"Oh you're alright!" She pulled me into a tight hug. "I heard what happened. I was waiting for you to come out, but you never did."
"Godric and I sort of just fell asleep." I explained sheepishly.
"Are you okay?" she put me at arm's length, her eyes roaming every inch of my body.
"Godric healed me." I informed her.
"Ah, that would explain it." she nodded, though there was still a hint of worry in her eyes. "So you're alright then? When I saw Eric he was...well I haven't seen him like that in a long time. Since before you left."
"I'm fine." I frowned at Eric's name. "He...well I just don't want to think about him anymore."
"I know he's a bit...well a lot to handle. But I'm sure he means well. He cares about you."
I snorted. "He has a horrible way to show it."
"It's Eric; he's a hot headed Viking. I'm sure he has been for a thousand years." Sookie shrugged. "But you should have seen him for the past two years. He's been a complete wreck."
"You never would have known." I crossed my arms, getting tired of talking about Eric. "I'll be happy when I don't have to deal with him again."
Sookie's face fell. "He really does care, Ellie. He's a vampire, he just don't know how to show it."
"Godric seems to have no problem showing how he feels." I pointed out.
"Godric's 2000 years old, he thinks differently than Eric does."
"Personally I don't care. Eric...he scares me, Sookie. I'm supposed to be this powerful being, or so you all keep telling me. But I feel scared just thinking of him. I don't want to feel like that. But with Godric..." I smiled slightly at the mere thought of the Vampire inside the hotel room. "He just makes me want to smile all the time."
Sookie stared at me for a good while, though I didn't notice the time passing by as I thought of Godric.
"Oh no, you're not falling for him, are you?" She asked worriedly after a moment.
"No." I shook my head. "That would just be...well I don't know. I just met him for a second time a few days ago."
"But you're already falling for him." Sookie sighed, shaking her head as well. "Ellie, you may not remember now, but you loved Eric once."
"Maybe I did, but who's to say that I do now." I shrugged simply. "I'm human, or as human as I could possibly get. I can't help what I feel."
"And despite how Eric is acting, you love him. I know you do. And he loves you. He has a poor way to show it, but he still loves you."
"What's wrong with having feelings for someone else? I don't remember liking Eric, not to mention loving him. Godric though...Sookie, he just...he makes me happy. He makes everything else in the world not matter. I was terrified and in pain after what Eric pulled, but Godric pulled me into his arms and everything was alright again. Doesn't that mean something?" I argued.
"Well..." Sookie trailed off.
"I can't help what I feel. And right now, I feel something for Godric. I've gone through hell the past two years. I just want to be happy finally. He makes me happy." My eyes met with the door and part of me wanted to run back inside the room and curl back up beside Godric.
"You'll remember one day, and I think you'll be sorry." Sookie replied honestly. "But it's your life. I can't make you feel one way. Just...know that Eric does care for you deeply."
"Maybe he should show me that instead of pushing me into a glass table."
"Give him time, Ellie."
"I'm tired of waiting." I sighed. "I need to get going."
Sookie opened her mouth to say another word, but I simply walked past her, feeling annoyed at the whole conversation. I didn't need someone to tell me what to feel, certainly not my own best friend. I don't know what I may have felt two years ago, but this was now and I didn't feel the same way about Eric. I don't understand how I possibly could have in the past. He was horrible, frightening, and downright awful. I didn't even want to think of him, and quickly changed my thoughts over to the calmer, older vampire.
I found myself humming happily out loud that day at work. I greeted customers with a wide grin, skipping through the aisles as I picked up discarded books and placed them in their rightful place. Despite the horrible turn of events that occurred last night with Eric, I couldn't help but feel all giddy and happy when Godric's name was passed around. There was just something about the older vampire that caused me to feel like a teenaged school girl. I didn't understand it at all of course. While technically we had known one another longer than just a week, these past few days were all that I remembered of him. And already I was attached beyond belief. I counted down the hours until I could potentially see him next, hoping that once again I would find myself in his arms. He may have been a 2000 year old vampire, but his embraces were warm, his touch comforting. I could stay in his arms for an eternity and remain perfectly happy.
"Not that I don't love seeing you this happy," Maggie mused as she found me at the back of the store, placing new books on the shelves. "But after what you told me what happened last night, I would have expected you to be...well not this cheerful."
I shrugged, grinning wider. "I don't know what it is, Maggie. I just can't help but smile."
That was a lie; I knew exactly what it was. And he had blue green eyes and a smile that made my heart skip.
"This wouldn't have anything to do with another certain vampire, now would it?" Maggie asked with a knowing smile.
"Maybe..."
"You and Godric have been spending a good amount of time together lately." She commented.
"I feel like my old self, whoever that is, when I'm around him." I admitted, forgetting about the books and turning towards her. "He just...he makes me feel happy and I haven't felt this way in such a long time."
"I'm glad." Maggie smiled warmly. "Do you think you're going to attempt to see Eric again?"
I pulled a face. "No thank you. I'd rather have nothing to do with him ever again."
"He's part of your past though, Ellie." She reminded.
"And all he's done is hurt me." I shrugged. "I don't want someone like that in my life. I don't understand why I let him into my life in the first place. Maybe I was blind to how he was, but I'm not anymore. I don't deserve someone so toxic in my life."
"What about the memories you've gotten back? Those have all been with him, haven't they?" Maggie pointed out.
"Yes, but I'm not going to risk getting hurt, or worse, killed, because of some silly memories."
"Those memories are all you've wanted back for so long now."
"Not at that expense though. And Godric will help me get them back."
Maggie sighed, leaning against the bookshelf. "I understand that Godric was the first to come back into your life, but perhaps you're leaning on him a bit too much. Eric may be acting rotten, but perhaps he just doesn't know how to act around you. He did think you were dead, didn't he?"
"Why is everyone so adamant to make me forgive Eric just because of how he may have acted in the past?" I frowned, getting very tired of all the support Eric was getting. Didn't anyone understand that he had hurt me? I knew deep down in my gut that he had done it in the past, and for whatever reason, I had never left him. But things were different now. I felt differently. And I certainly didn't want Eric Northman in my life.
"I just think that if you cut him out of your life now, that you're going to regret it in the future." Maggie paused for a moment before continuing. "You know I only want what's best for you. I can see that you're developing feelings for Godric, and I'm glad that you're happy. But maybe it would be best if you put more effort into communicating with Eric than furthering your relationship with Godric. He could be the one to help you regain your memories. He has so far."
"I'm tired of everyone being on Team Eric." I spat bitterly. "I don't want him in my life. He's hurt me, Maggie. I just want to be happy and Godric makes me happy."
"I'm just saying that..."
"No offence Maggie, I love you and I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I don't really care what you have to say." I snapped, tossing the books in my hands down onto the nearest chair. "I can't help how I feel. I don't have anything else to go on but my feelings, and right now, their jumping in joy over Godric."
"Ellie..."
"I would appreciate it if someone supported me."
"Of course I support you Ellie." Maggie reached out towards me but I only stepped away.
"The sun is going to set soon. I'm going to get ready for when Godric comes over." I twisted on my heel and stormed down the aisle. I ignored Maggie's calls behind me and continued into the back room and out to the staircase leading upstairs. I was tired of being told what to do and how to feel. Why couldn't anyone understand this?
Godric stood outside the bookstore that night, glancing in through the window in search of Ellie. He found no sign of her, but could smell her sweet scent in the building and felt comforted by the fact that she was there waiting for him. He had woken up that night feeling empty and alone, much unlike how he had felt while falling fast into his rest at dawn, Ellie sleeping peacefully in his arms. He had wished she had stayed, but knew it was only wishful thinking. She had a life she had to return to, though the thought of keeping her all to himself for a day made a smile cross his lips.
Not wanting to waste another minute without her, Godric pushed open the door to the bookstore and entered. He found the older middle aged woman at the counter, ringing up a customer's purchase, but still saw so sign of the lively girl he become accustomed to.
"She's upstairs." Maggie's voice called to him before he could begin wandering around the store in search of Ellie.
Godric turned towards the shop owner and nodded at her. He hadn't spoken to her before, nor had he been alone with her. She seemed like a kind woman, and from what Ellie had spoken of her, he knew she was a good person. But that didn't stop the warning bells from going off in the ancient vampire's head. He frowned, stepping forward as he tried to familiarize himself with the foreboding feeling that was surging through him. Sookie had been correct when she had told him that there was darkness in this store. He had never felt it before, merely because Ellie was always close by. Her essence of life was enough to mask even the darkest of magic. Now, with Ellie a good distance away, Godric could feel it now too. After 2000 years roaming this planet, he had encountered many things. Some were rare, like Ellie, others were creatures and beings that still ran amuck to this day. And what he was feeling was familiar. He had sensed this dark magic in the past, he just couldn't place what exactly it was. Ellie's life force was masking it just enough to leave him baffled.
But he was determined to find out what it was. For Ellie's safety.
"She was a bit upset earlier." Maggie sighed, shaking her head.
"Is she alright?" Godric momentarily forgot about the darkness in the store and concentrated on the girl upstairs.
Maggie eyed him closely for a moment, as if judging if she could tell him the truth. After a moment, she nodded to herself and leaned against the counter.
"She's become rather attached to you, you know."
Godric nodded. "I've grown just as attached."
"I'm just worried that she's jumping into everything too quickly. I'm sure you're a good person, and you've made her happy so far, but...well it's only been less than a week." Maggie bit down on her lower lip. "I'm just afraid that she'll become too attached and once you leave, which you will eventually leave, she'll be heartbroken and back in the state she was before you showed up."
Godric could understand the woman's worries; though he couldn't help the slight happiness he felt when she proclaimed that Ellie had grown a deep attachment for him. But the worry seemed to win out as he found himself contemplating just how close he and Ellie had gotten lately. While they had known each other for a good while, Ellie didn't remember their past. She truly only remembers meeting him only a few days ago. While time didn't seem to matter to a vampire, it did to humans. Eventually time would seem useless and not needed to Ellie as she progressed in life, but right now, perhaps they were moving a bit too quickly. Especially with how they've been feeling. He himself had caught himself staring at her longingly, wishing he could have ever part of her. It seemed that Ellie might be having the same reaction, and while he was pleased about that, he too realized that things were moving too fast. Perhaps they needed to take a step back, strengthen their friendship ties before anything could possibly happen. He also didn't want to hurt Eric, though the guilt he was having was slowly beginning to vanish every time Eric seemed to mindlessly hurt Ellie.
"Just be careful with her." Maggie offered a small smile before waving to the back room. "Head on up, I'm sure she's expecting you."
Godric nodded silently and he was gone in a flash, arriving outside of Ellie's apartment in only a blink of an eye. He didn't even have a chance to knock before the door was being pulled open, revealing Ellie in another dazzling dress. His eyes roamed over her body, the struggle to control his urges now at an all time high as he admired the way the fabric clung to her perfect figure.
"I heard you downstairs." She grinned, taking him by the hand and pulling him inside. "I've been waiting to see you all day."
Godric smiled as he allowed her to drag him over to the couch, both sitting closer than they should have.
"I want to apologize for how Eric..."
"Please, let's not talk about Eric tonight." she scrunched up her nose. "I'm tired of everyone talking about him."
"Alright, what would you like to talk about then?" he asked, tucking a piece of her long hair behind an ear.
"I don't know." She tapped the top of her knees for a moment. "I heard Maggie talking with you. What did...she say?"
"She was just concerned, that is all. Nothing for you to worry yourself about." He assured.
"But what did she say?" she bit her bottom lip. "She didn't say anything about...well how close we've gotten, did she? Because I told her that I didn't care what she..."
"She did." Godric interrupted her, sighing as he knew they would have to speak about this sooner or later. "And I agree with her. We have grown quite attached to one another."
"But we've known each other for awhile." She pointed out.
"Though you don't remember most of it." Godric took her hands, squeezing them softly. "I care for you greatly, Elizabeth, which is why I do agree with her."
"That's stupid." She frowned. "I want to be close to you. You make me feel happy. What's so wrong with that?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, Elizabeth. I'm glad that you're happy, but..."
She turned her head away, and Godric could spy a hint of tears in her eyes. "Why can't anyone just accept how I feel? I'm not some robot that can be turned off and on. I can't help how I feel."
"I understand that, Elizabeth..."
"No, you don't." She snapped, her eyes meeting his. "I...I like you Godric."
Godric found himself speechless at her declaration. She seemed so shy, confessing how she felt, and yet, not ashamed of her feelings. He admired her for it.
"I'm not going to just change how I feel." She pulled her hands out of his and crossed her arms stubbornly. "I like you. I'm not going to take that back."
"Elizabeth..." Godric sighed.
"I never want to be with anyone but you, Godric. What's so wrong about that? What's so wrong about wanting to be in your arms all the time? Please, tell me what is so horribly wrong about me liking you?"
He didn't have an answer for her. How could he when he felt the exact same way? But he had to control himself. He was supposed to help her, not hurt her. And he feared that would be all he would do if they continued down this path. Though more than anything he wanted to do so.
"Perhaps I should leave." Godric stood suddenly.
Ellie's face fell. "What?"
"We should spend tonight apart." He couldn't look at her any longer, the sadness in her eyes enough to make him reconsider.
"Godric, no." She stood as well, grabbing onto his arm. "Please don't go Godric. We'll stop talking about this. You can tell me more about my past. Just please, Godric. Don't leave me. You promised me you wouldn't."
At the sight of a tear sliding down her cheek, Godric's heart lurched. How could he possibly think about leaving her in this state? He would be no better than Eric if he did.
"Being around you...I have to control myself." Godric admitted, his hand reaching up to cup her cheek, his thumb brushing her tears away.
"Why?" she asked curiously.
"Because..." he closed his eyes for a moment as he took an intake of breath. "You smell as sweet as forbidden fruit, my dear one. The softness of your skin, that smile of yours, it threatens to let loose the animal from within."
Ellie didn't speak for the longest time as Godric continued to caress her cheek. She felt an odd electric shock running through her at every caress, though it wasn't painful at all. In fact, it only heightened the feeling of his cold hand on her skin, warming her to the very core. She wasn't sure where the comment came from that she spoke next, but she didn't regret blurting it out.
"Don't control yourself, Godric." She whispered just loud enough for him to hear.
Godric's eyes snapped open, searching her eyes for any sense of humour. But all he found were serious green orbs staring back up at him, tempting him to do things to her that he had only imagined.
"I cannot."
"Yes you can." She slowly moved her hands to his chest, sliding them up teasingly. "Godric, I like you. You bring life back to me. I like the way that you make me feel. I want to see that animal, Godric."
"I don't want to hurt you." He told her softly.
"You won't." She assured, pushing herself closer to him. "Stop trying to please everyone, Godric. Why don't you do something you want for once?"
He couldn't control what he did next.
Ellie let out a surprise yelp as Godric's arm wrapped around her, suddenly pulling her against him roughly. She stared up at him with wide eyes as he growled lowly before crashing his lips against hers. She didn't waste a moment to respond, wrapping a hand around his neck to bring him even closer than he already was. Godric's other hand found Ellie's long locks of hair, tugging on the ends to tilt her head backwards. She moaned in pleasure as he bit down on her bottom lip gently, slipping his tongue past her lips as he did so. Ellie wasn't sure how, but somehow found herself flush against a wall, her hands being pinned to the wall as Godric assaulted her lips. He slowly drew away from her, allowing her a moment to breathe, before trailing kisses along her jaw and down to her neck. His fangs clicked out and she could feel them graze along the curve of her neck, teasing her as he nipped at her earlobe.
"Godric..." she moaned out.
"Is this what you want?" he released her hands, only to grip her hips and grind himself against her.
She could feel his erection and it only excited her further. She nodded up and down as she reached for his lips, though he pulled back and gave her a wicked smirk. In the past few days, she hadn't seen this side of him. Nor did she feel like she ever had in the past. He was always so caring, thinking of everyone else. She wondered when the last time Godric let himself be free, to enjoy whatever he wanted.
"I want all of you." She whispered as his fingers slid up her sides, one sneaking behind her and to the zipper of her dress. She wiggled as he slowly pulled the zipper down, teasing her, making her go crazy as his cold fingers lightly danced on her bare back. "Now."
Before she knew it, she was being pushed down onto her bed, the dress sliding down her body revealing only a pair of panties. Godric growled when he saw the colour; red, his favourite. He didn't hesitate before ripping them off of her, leaving her completely naked and in his control. Her hands ran up and down him, her fingernails trailing against his muscles. The sensation alone caused the inner animal from within to be set free. He was no longer controlling himself as he rolled a nipple between two fingers, pleased when he heard the raspy moan emit from her lips. He dipped his head down, taking her other nipple into his mouth and sucking gently. Ellie's hand ran through his hair, holding him to her. She never wanted him to stop.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" Godric asked in a husky voice as he pulled himself away from her nipples, his fingers ghosting over them and causing her back to arch up to meet his touch. "Once I start, I cannot go back, Elizabeth."
"Godric, I want you. All of you." She urged. "Please."
That was all he needed to hear as he lowered one of his hands, lightly caressing the sensitive skin. She inhaled sharply as he parted her lower lips and dived his fingers into her without warning. Her eyes closed as her head was thrown back, her hips moving to meet his thrusts. He could feel himself grow harder than he ever had and knew he couldn't hold back any longer. With a sweet kiss to her lips, he positioned himself over her and lowered his fangs down to her neck. He kissed along the pulsing vein before placing his fangs into the perfect spot, doing so as well with his arousal. Without a word of warning, he slid into her the moment his fangs dived into her neck. Ellie let out a scream of both pleasure and pain as Godric hungrily drank her blood while thrusting deep inside of her.
She couldn't remember feeling any better than she was at that moment. All of her worries and fears, problems and reality itself, slipped away from her as she was thrown into a perfect utopia of pleasure. She gripped onto his back tightly, her fingernails digging into him as they moved together at a perfect rhythm.
"Oh Godric...oh...oh god!" she moaned out as Godric lifted his fangs out of her neck only to crash his lips back against hers. She could taste her own blood on his lips, aiding in her pleasure.
"I love you." Godric murmured so softly, Ellie almost didn't hear him.
He slid into her one last time before they both exploded in unison. Ellie's body shook in sheer ecstasy, Godric holding her close as they both rode their climaxes. Eventually, they both sunk into the bed, exhausted and in each other's arms.
A/N: Godric FINALLY gets some! I'm sure there's some Team Eric members ready to stake Godric, but give the poor guy a break, Eric is always getting the sex, Godric deserves a little something something lol. So Godric can't deny his feelings for her any longer. it seems they've developed since the last story, where we thought he only cared for her because she looked like Kyra. but now, it seems that his feelings have grown and are truly just for her. Ellie herself is conflicted with her feelings, though she had no problem showing them at the end there. What will Eric have to save about this though?
