Chapter Eleven
I automatically pulled around to the back of Fangtasia and realized I didn't know if I could get in the back door without Eric. I tried the door and it opened. I could feel an intensity growing within me as I walked in and I knew it was coming from Eric. I walked back to his office and the door was open slightly. I could hear voices inside so I stopped and listened, I listened with my ears since I knew it wasn't humans in the office. I heard Pam, "Eric, are you sure about what you are doing. You are allowing a human to move into your home and have power within your bar." Eric had to tell Pam, I see we both had our issues to deal with tonight.
"Pam, you are right, this is my bar and I will do with it what I want. YOU WILL treat Sookie with the same respect as you do me. She is my queen and she will remain my human queen for as long as she chooses to be human. Pam you will protect Sookie's life with your own. You will be sure that every other vampire that works in this bar respects her and understands that they are to protect her at all costs. She IS MINE and we ARE TOGETHER there is no other more important to me. NONE." Then I gave a little knock on the door and pushed it open. "Am I interrupting?" and I walked in.
"Not at all Lover, I was just telling Pam our good news." Eric stood from behind his desk and walked across the room to greet me with a tender kiss.
"Sookie, welcome to Fangtasia and to our lives," Pam said with a crooked smile on her face.
"Thanks Pam, but right now I am only here for a couple of days. I still have things to wrap up in Bon Temps before I am here for good." I said with a smile as I wrapped my arms around Eric's waist.
"Leave us." Eric commanded
"See you later Pam," I smiled.
"Lover, I am so glad to see you," I could feel his gladness from having my arms wrapped around him, "would you like to go out into the bar for a while or go home?" "We can stay, I don't want to start taking you away from your work. Besides I dressed up for you so you can show me off."
"You do look delicious," he said with a grin showing his fully extended fangs. Then he placed his hand on the small of my back and guided me out into the bar. I put my shields up automatically; I didn't want to hear the comments tonight. I was going to enjoy my euphoria. We walked straight out onto the dance floor where Eric pulled me close and we danced together as if we were one. He bent and kissed my neck and flicked my ear lobe with his tongue. Who knew there was a direct link between the ear lobe and between your legs and he pulled back and smiled at me, his fangs still extended and I knew he was feeling exactly what I was. We finished the dance and went to where Eric's throne is. Only this time he seated me directly next to him in a chair that matched his only slightly smaller in size. I was his queen. Soon after Eric stood and in a loud booming voice he said, "Silence!" and the bar was quiet enough you could have heard a pin drop within seconds. "Those of you here tonight have the privilege of this announcement." He held his hand back to me and I took it and he gently pulled me to him, "I present to you Sookie, this is my queen, she is to be treated with the same respect as I and revered just as I am." I felt my face blush and I smiled nervously and I didn't dare let my shields down. The bar irrupted in cheers and clapping and Eric held up his hand and silence again. In the loud booming voice again, "The last drink of the night is on me, enjoy." With that we sat back down to watch the bar wind down for the evening.
