Sookie POV

"Sookie?"

"Eric. I'm sorry to drop in on you like this but I have nowhere else to go, no place I'd rather be. Why are you all wet?"

"You caught me in the shower."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you. I'll go." He reaches out grabbing my hand pulling me close to him.

"No, stay."

I nod and allow him to pull me into his apartment. I laugh at the irony of having just been here the night before. How different would our night have been if we'd been able to stay? I only ponder that thought for a moment as I take in Eric's appearance. I would be lying if I said seeing Eric half naked, wrapped in a towel, dripping wet from head to toe, didn't do something to me. It does a lot of something to me, in fact.

He ushers me over to the couch and sits me down. I'm still in shock over what happened at Bill's apartment but not so much that I don't notice the state of arousal Eric is in. I have to apologize to him first, before I lose my nerve.

"Just give me a second and I'll get dressed."

"Wait. I need to apologize to you Eric. You were right, about Bill, about everything. I'm sorry I didn't believe you." He sits next to me on the couch, the scent of his shampoo washing over me.

"Sookie don't--"

"No, I need to tell you that I should have listened to you. You were only looking out for me and I should have known that. I was so wrapped up in Bill that I couldn't see him for who he truly was. He had that Lorena bitch at his place tonight. I feel so stupid. Can you ever forgive me?"

"Of course I can, I have. I never held it against you. I couldn't. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I could be better though. I should be asking you how you are. I'm sure you were on edge all day since you called Pam three times." I try to hold in my laugh but a chuckle slips from my lips.

"She told you about that?"

"Of course you know she did. She couldn't wait to yell at me about it. She threatened to beat my ass if I didn't come over and apologize to you. Not that I needed the push, because I would have come anyway. You know that, right?"

"I don't care why you're here, just so long as you are." He pulls me into an embrace. He feels so warm and my body just molds to his form. This is where I want to be.

"Since you didn't finish your shower the least I could do is join you, maybe wash your back?" I look up at him coyly.

"Um, okay. Sure."

I follow Eric back to his bedroom. He has an en suite bathroom, which is by far the biggest bathroom I think I've ever seen in anyone's apartment. The shower stall can fit two people comfortably, which we were just about to put to the test. The tub is an old claw-foot styled tub, like Gran has at home. I think Eric's may be a little updated with the gold enameled feet, and fixtures.

I run my fingers along the rim of it, feeling the coolness of the porcelain on my fingertips. I slip my shoes off, one by one, carefully holding onto the edge of the tub. Surprisingly, the floor is warm. He must have that heated tile flooring I've heard so much about. Hmm…

I never knew how much money Eric had but Bill told me that he knew Eric was pretty well off. Why that would matter to Bill I didn't know but he seemed to think it important. I would never ask Eric as it's not my business and it doesn't really matter. He's my Eric and I love him for who he is, not what he has.

Eric turns to look at me with a question in his eyes. I know he wants to ask what happened at Bill's but I can't rehash that right now. I only want to be with him. I place a lone finger against his soft, pink lips effectively silencing him.

"Eric, I don't want to talk, I want you to make love to me. Will you make love to me?"

Eric POV

Does she really have to ask?

"Of course I will, Sookie. I'll make love to you all night if you'll let me."

I place my hands on either side of her face, pulling her to me, kissing her gently on the lips. She moans into my mouth, her lips parting, deepening the kiss. My tongue explores the surface of her lips, her teeth, her tongue. I breathe her in, taking in her flavor and drowning in it. She tastes so good.

My hands trail down her legs to the hem of her dress. She jerks a little as my fingers tickle her thighs. I slowly pull the dress up over her head, my fingers grazing the smooth skin of her stomach. I run my thumb over her hardened nipples eliciting a sexy moan from her. She breathes my name as I tug the dress off and drop it to the floor. I quickly reach over to the shower stall, turning the water on to get it hot. Steam surrounds us as we stand facing one another.

Sookie's cheeks are flushed, her lips parted, looking so inviting. My tongue glides along her lower lip causing her to open her mouth wider. I nibble at her lower lip before trailing my tongue down her chin, up her jaw line. I make my way back to her lips and kiss her hard before unclasping her bra. It slides down her shoulders and off her arms to the floor. I run my hands down her sides to the waistband of her panties.

I tug gently at the sides, pulling them down as I come to rest on my knees. My face is right where it wants to be, in front of her sex, my mouth searching out the warmth of her center. My tongue finds her folds--moist, and engorged--ready to be devoured. I am famished and plan on making Sookie my meal. I flick her nub over and over again, running my tongue down to her slit, licking slowly until her knees shake. I put my hands on her hips to keep her steady as she bucks into my mouth.

Her hands search out my head, her fingers gripping my hair tightly as she reaches her climax. She moans and screams out my name as she comes. I clean her thoroughly of all of her juices before lifting her with me and entering the shower. We need to reconnect after the events of today. I want to show her how much I love her and that I won't hurt her.

Sookie shivers at my touch. I lift her by the waist so that she is level with my erection. I waste no time thrusting into her while taking one of her nipples into my mouth. I suck and lick at the taut bud and Sookie loses control. She has such a tight grip on my shoulders that I'm sure her nails have left indentations in my skin. I don't mind. It drives me to thrust harder and faster into her, the way she likes.

I feel her walls clench down on my cock, the pressure becoming too much for me. I kiss my way up her chest to her neck, nuzzling into the soft flesh there. She reaches her release and I follow not long after, groaning into her neck, my body vibrating with aftershocks. I plan to make love to her at least two more times tonight, if she will allow me.

We make our way to the bed naked, dripping wet, hands all over each other. I cannot get enough of her. My lips trail down her jaw to her neck. I lick and suck at her pulse point, feeling the cadence of her pulse speed up at my attentions. My hands glide effortlessly along the smooth surface of her skin.

I lay her down on the bed and hover over her, placing myself between her legs. The heat from her center shoots through me, causing a growl to erupt from low in my chest. Pushing the damp hair from her forehead, I gaze into her eyes seeing myself there, seeing the love that she has for me reflected back in her glance.

I place my hardened cock at her entrance, grazing her nub with my tip. She moans and bucks into me as I slowly, slide into her warm, tight sheath. We both groan at the sensation, our lips touching as I press closer to her to kiss her. I make love to her reverently, wanting her to feel every inch of me as I move in and out of her.

"God Sookie, I love you so much."

"Unh, Eric…I love you too. Unnh, please don't stop."

We move together developing a steady rhythm until Sookie pushes on my shoulders, forcing me to roll over. I hold on to her hips as she straddles my waist, and begins to ride me slowly. I reach my hand down between us, stroking her clit in slow circles, applying pressure intricately. She moves faster and faster against me, riding me hard, her head falling back in pleasure. I watch her breasts bounce up and down in time with my thrusts. Sookie speeds up her movements and before long collapses on top of me, trying to catch her breath. I shift my hips and with a few strokes I ride out my orgasm with my angel holding tightly to me. I am where I want to be.

Pam POV

I sit here, minding my own fucking business when I get not one, but three calls from Eric. Does he have no other friends? Is there no one else he can talk to? What do I look like, a love guru or some shit? I know he has it bad for Sookie but come on man, give me a break!

Between the two of them, I don't know who's worse. Sookie is so in love with Eric but can't see it because of the fucklenuts she's dating. Eric is so in love with Sookie that he's ignoring any other women that cross his path because none of them are his darling Sookie.

I'm happy for them both but shit, they need to figure things out for themselves. They need to fuck and get it over with. I've mentioned that to Sookie but of course she's so in love with Bill that she couldn't possibly do that to him. Eric needs to step it up and I'm glad that he's at least taken the first step.

It's been a long time coming and I want to be left out of it. I'm here to help, not lead by example. I have my own problems. Well, not really, but I have my life to live and I like to do it in peace, and in the company of a handsome man, or the occasional pretty woman.

I've threatened Eric for the second time. I know he doesn't know that I have company but he doesn't ask either. He just assumes I'm available to talk to him. Apparently, I don't have a life and everyone else's problems are my top priority. I say fuck that. I'm trying to get laid and my phone won't stop ringing.

Malcolm knows better than to get upset or jealous if someone calls while we're together. We aren't exclusive and he knows that I only call him over for sex. See, I have my shit together. I have an arrangement and it works for me. It's more than I can say for some people I know. I have to put Eric at ease before he'll leave me alone. Just when I think that everything is good with him, he calls, again.

After Eric's third call, I make up my mind to give Sookie a ring. I know she won't want to hear from me but if it will move things along I'll be happy to do it. She's a bit upset with me knowing that she and Eric have "taken the next step" but I'm not fazed by that. I tell her what she needs to do and what will happen if she doesn't. I swear to all that is holy if Eric calls me one more time I will kill him.

I'm beginning to think that I need to get back to Louisiana. I can keep a close eye on Eric and Sookie without actually keeping an eye on them. I think that Bill may become a problem for Sookie. He doesn't take rejection easily and knowing him he'll want to make an example out of Sookie. I've tried warning her about Bill in the past but she wouldn't listen. I let her be; as I figured she would need to learn on her own. I need to be there for her in case something happens and I make plans to get on the next flight to Shreveport.

****

Ugh. I forgot how hot it is here. This humidity does absolutely nothing for my hair. I hail a cab and make my way to Sookie's apartment. I call her while in the cab to be sure she knows I'm coming.

"Sookie my dear are you up?"

"Pam? Why are you calling me so early?" It is around eight in the morning. I hadn't taken that in to consideration when making my flight arrangements. Oops!

"I'm in Shreveport and I'm heading to your apartment."

"I wish you would have called me sooner because I'm not there. Do you remember where I keep my spare key?"

"Yes I do. Are you with Eric?"

"Of course, where else would I be?" I've taught her well.

"I don't know but I figured I would ask because if you hadn't listened to my sound advice yesterday I'd be on my way to kick your ass, as promised."

"Right. Well Pam, it seems as though you're on your way anyhow. I can get home as soon as…"

I hear Eric in the background screaming no and to tell me to fuck off. That pussy calls me almost in tears yesterday and now he's saying I should fuck off. He'll be getting a piece of my mind later.

"Sookie don't worry about me. I'll let myself in, have a bath and nap until you get home. Just don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"There's nothing you wouldn't do Pam."

"Exactly." I hang up the phone with a huge smile on my face. I haven't smiled this big in years.

I get to Sookie's apartment and dig out the spare key. Only thing is, I didn't need to use it. The door is unlocked and I let myself in. Nothing looks out of place but I have a feeling that Fuckstick McGee has to be here or was here. I pull out my taser and stand at the ready for him to make his appearance.

Bill POV

My phone rings and I quickly answer. Just the person I was waiting on.

"Linda. To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Well Mr. Compton, it seems that we may have hit a little snag in our plan."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yes, um listen, do you think you can meet with me tomorrow? We need to discuss a few things."

"Only on one condition. I need you to tell me what your master plan is. I won't be helping you out anymore unless you tell me why. Will that be a problem?"

"I don't feel that I need to tell you anything Bill."

"Well, Linda, considering I know where you were last night and what you did, I think you may want to reconsider."

"What? What are you talking about? Are you trying to threaten me? I don't give in to threats."

"Oh, this is no threat, I assure you. I heard your mother had to be taken to the hospital due to a fall…" She is silent for a moment.

"What do you want?"

"I want to know what you're planning. I want to know why you need me to…"

"I'll meet you tomorrow and answer whatever questions you have. Just not over the phone."

"Good. I'll meet you at your office around three."

"I'll see you then. Oh and Bill?"

"Yes, Linda."

"Let's remember who's in charge here."

"Right. We'll talk about that tomorrow." I hang up with a smile on my face.

Sookie thinks she has seen the last of me but she doesn't know who she's fucking with. I'll show her and that asshole Northman that I am not to be trifled with.

A/N: Thanks to my lovie hearttorn for helping me flush this one out. Wasn't easy. Please, let me know what you think? Who's at Sookie's apartment? Guess correctly and I may have a little sneak peek for you...xoxo
