Eric's POV

I was so happy that my lover said yes! I could not wait to get her back to the room so we could celebrate. I wished now, that we had gone for a fucking drive instead of a walk. I could fly us back, but I figured that was not a good idea since the streets were so busy. I did not think the tourists would like my flying ability much.

We were getting close to the hotel and Sookie said, "Eric, I love you. I know I said yes, that I will marry you and I intend to, but there are some things we need to discuss about it." "I know lover, there are many things to discuss and many plans to be made. Please, let's not do it tonight. Let's just be happy about this for one night before we let it become stress." "I guess that's okay, but we will need to talk."

We made it back to the hotel after what felt like a fucking eternity of walking. All I wanted was to get my lover to the room, but we ran into Pam in the lobby. "Eric. Sookie," Pam said. "Hello Pam, Sookie and I were just going to the room. Hope you had a good time this evening," I said as we entered the elevator.

"I did have a good time tonight. I also found out some information that I am sure you would want to know about." Fuck me, I thought. I was finally going to get my lover alone in our room and now Pam has fucking information I want to know. "Okay Pam, come to our room with us and we will discuss this information."

We got to into our room and all took a seat. Sookie looked at me and asked if we could tell Pam our news first. I told her to go ahead. Sookie said, "Eric and I are getting married! In a real human wedding! Can you believe it?" She was so excited. As she told Pam she smiled and held out her hand so Pam could see the ring. I could tell that Pam was not quite sure how to react to the news, probably because I had already told her my plans. She replied, "That's great Sookie! I am so happy for you both! The ring is very beautiful! How did he ask you?"

Once Sookie was done telling Pam all about how I asked her and how exciting it all was, Pam said, "Are you ready for what I have to tell you? I think it's big, really big!" I looked at Pam puzzled, what could she possibly have to tell me that's that big? "Okay, you know David, my friend from Minnesota that just moved here to Vegas? He was sent here by the King of Minnesota himself. He was sent here to rally Felipe's subjects against him." "Pam, let me get this straight. You are telling me that Minnesota is staging a coup against this kingdom."

"No", Pam said. "I think it is much bigger. David didn't know much other than his king sent him here and what his orders were, but he said he was quite sure there were other kingdoms involved. He said that when he was called to meet his king and receive his orders, he was told to get to the kings office immediately. He said when he arrived a meeting between his king, the King of Colorado, and the King of California was ending. That has led him to believe that they might be involved as well." "Pam, the King of Colorado, sits on the Tribunal." "Yes, he does. Why Eric?" "Mr. Cataliades made a comment to me the other day. He said that the Tribunal is looking out for me in this trial. Could it be that this coup is somehow related to my trial?" "Eric, I don't know. Maybe. I will keep digging. You said you have a meeting tomorrow with Cataliades didn't you?" "Yes, I do." "See if you can get anymore information out of him, Eric. He may know something."

I could not believe what Pam had just told me. I could not believe that there was going to be another takeover. And what the fuck does my trial have to do with it? I certainly had a lot to think about, but more importantly I had my lover to think about. I said, "Pam, thank you for the information. I look forward to whatever you can dig up next. If you would like I will see you to the door." She took the hint and left the room. Now it was just my lover and I.

I looked over to Sookie who was asleep. I leaned over to her and said, "Lover, wake up." She opened her eyes and said, "Eric, what time is it? Where did Pam go?" "Pam left, now it is just you and me and in a few minutes you are not going to care what time it is."

Sookie's POV

Eric, Pam and I got to the room. We all sat down. Eric and I sat on the couch. Pam sat in the chair across from us. I was so excited that Eric and I were engaged so I asked Eric if I could tell Pam about it before they got down to business. He said that was fine.

I exclaimed, "Eric and I are getting married! In a real human wedding! Can you believe it?" I was so excited. I held out my hand so Pam could see the ring. She replied, "That's great Sookie! I am so happy for you both! The ring is very beautiful! How did he ask you?"

"We were walking earlier and my feet started hurting so we decided to sit down. We sat down by the fountains at the Bellagio. We started talking and Eric was saying how unfair everything's been in our relationship for me. I kept trying to tell him it was okay, but he kept saying it wasn't. He told me I had no choice in the blood bond and that I had no choice in the pledging and he was going to give me a choice. When he said that I thought he was going to leave me. I was so scared. I was actually about to cry, but the next thing I knew he was on his knee in front of me with the ring held out to me. That's when he asked me." "Oh Sookie, that sounds wonderful! Who would have thought that my master could be so romantic?"

Once I told Pam the story of how Eric proposed, I knew it would be time for vamp business. As she and Eric began to talk, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up a little later with Eric hovering over me telling me to wake up. I asked him what time it was and where Pam was. He told me that Pam had left and that I wouldn't care what time it was soon. I knew exactly what he meant because his fangs ran out as he was saying it. He then picked me up and started kissing me as he carried me to the bed.

He put me down right beside the bed. He had never stopped kissing me the whole way. Once he put me down, he started kissing and rubbing his fangs down my neck. I started to moan. I wanted him just as much as he wanted me. I put my arms around him and started rubbing his muscular back. I made my way to his chest and started unbuttoning his shirt as he kissed his way from my neck to my cleavage which was spilling over the top of my dress.

Once I got his shirt off, he said, "Lover, we have got to do something about this dress," as he unzipped it. He pushed down the straps and the dress fell right to the floor. Eric, found his way back to my breasts. He was sucking on my nipple and softly kneading my other breast with his hand. It felt so good. I began running my fingernails down his back until I reached his butt. I love his butt. It is so perfect and so muscular. Everything about him is perfect and muscular.

He made his way back up to my mouth and began passionately kissing me. He pushed me back and I fell onto the bed as he came down beside of me. I leaned over and began kissing his chest. I ran my tongue around his nipples. He moaned. I took one of his nipples into my mouth and bit it lightly and he shouted, "Oh Sookie! Fuck," as he pushed me back and took his place on top of me.

As he rolled over on top of me he started kissing me again. This time he made his way from my mouth all the way down to my panties, which were off of me and flying across the room in a matter of seconds. He knelt down in front of me and spread my legs, which were hanging off the bed. I knew what was coming next and I couldn't wait. Everything Eric does to me is so perfect. He always makes me feel so good. I wanted his fingers in me right that moment.

He began to rub my folds with his fingers and then gently entered me with one. I was in seventh heaven. I began to moan as he was moving it in and out of me. Before I knew it, he had placed his tongue on my nub and began to slowly move it around in a circular motion. I was going to go crazy, moaning and bucking my hips. It felt so good.

The next thing I knew, he removed his finger that was inside me and put it into my other entrance. I used to think that things like that would be painful, but ever since he did it to me the other night, I've changed my mind. It just feels so good. It sent me reeling in ecstasy.

I was really about to lose it now. I was in a total state of bliss. I shouted, "Oh god. Eric. Fuck," as he continued licking me and moving his finger in and out of me. I was about to release and Eric knew it. He looked at me, bared his fangs, turned his head to my thigh and bit me. I have never come so hard in my life. As he drank from me, I was sweating, my body was almost shaking and I screamed, "Oh Eric. Oh yes. Oh Eric yes. Yes. Oh God yes."

After my release Eric took off his pants and made his way back up to my mouth where he began kissing me. His hands were all over me. I grabbed his member with my hand and led it inside me. Eric was like an animal. He was moving in and out of me like his life depended upon it. It felt so good. He was hitting just the right spot. I was shouting "Eric! Oh Eric," and he let out a guttural growl and shouted, "Oh god, Sookie! Please bite me!"

When he asked me to bite him, I knew it was something he enjoyed, but I couldn't help but worry about taking more of his blood. He had told me just three weeks before that we were reaching an undefined limit, but I also knew he had told me in the past that he knew how much was too much. I decided to trust in him and as he was pounding away at me I latched onto his chest with my teeth and bit. As I drank from him, he shouted something I didn't understand but had heard before. I assumed whatever it was, was being said in Swedish or Old Norse. I licked his chest where I had bit him and then he collapsed on top of me.

Eric rolled over beside of me and we just held each other waiting for the dawn to come. "Sookie, I love you," he said right before the dawn came. Eric, I love you, too," I replied and before I knew it I was asleep in my Vikings arms.
