Hey guys! I apologize for the long wait, had literally no motivation to write recently :( hope u enjoy this chapter, reviews always welcomed and cherished, enjoy your day (or evening, or night) :)

Tapping her long painted red finger nails on the arm of the armchair she occupied, Nan flannigan glared at the imbociles gathered in the hotels meeting room, she was severely pissed that they had left a huge mess for her to clean up, can they not just keep everything under wraps? Defending vampires publicly was becoming a increasingly a pain in her arse. She had just suspended Godric from his sheriff role and as furious as she was with him she actually felt a twinge of guilt run through her at the sad face he wore. Eric she noticed was the same hot tempered fool she remembered and the little human that tagged along with them was curious even as a insignificant member of the room, funny she seemed to be at complete ease with the vampires occupying the room yet held a shyness that was almost sweet if it wasn't for the sassy streak that raised its head every once and a while which Nan caught whilst she berated godric, recieving a backlash from her sharp tongue. Shaking her thoughts away Nan stood giving her clipped goodbye as she swiftly exited the room followed by her retinue.

"You should have fought her for your rightful position Godric, she is beneath us and has no right to order us around" Eric snapped filling the silence of the room. Alyssa fiddled with the edge of the lemon coloured summer dress she wore, trying to keep to herself even as her mind raged also over Nan's verdict.

Godric gave a long sigh "it's only a suspension for a couple of years until everything calms down in the media, a fair sentence i think for the damage i inadvertedly caused"

Alyssa's head snapped up at this, annoyance bubbling in her gut "none of that was your fault Godric, its those fanatic fuckers that should be getting punished, dont you dare put any blame on yourself"

Godric smiled feeling a warmth spread through him at her defending a creature such as himself. Looking in to her eyes he replied "my suspension may be a blessing anyway, i have some spare time now to spend with my family and to get to know this beautiful creature a bit better" he winked at her then shocking Alyssa as she giggled behind her hand thinking the gesture appeared strange coming from him.

Eric rolled his eyes at the two, as much as he would enjoy having his maker stay in his life a while he knew that the conversation he intended on having with Godric would have to come soon, he would not have Alyssa hurt, physically or emotionally.

"I'll go have flights booked for us then" Eric huffed, not amused by the lack of attention he was recieving from the two smitten beings in the room. Leaving the room, a deadly silence rested over the pair left behind, Alyssa was wracking her brains for something to say but coming up short, panic started to sit upon her not wanting to appear awkward and unsociable. Godric meanwhile was just happy watching Alyssa, observing the shy expressions that was visible on her beautiful features, the way her hair flowed down her neck hugging her elbows like a blanket, strands of it falling across her small pert round breasts that moved up and down as she breathed. He was entranced merely by watching her sit there doing nothing.

Alyssa's point of view

I couldn't meet his eyes, the silence began to strangle me when I couldn't find any words to say, what the hell is wrong with me? Its not like I'm new to conversation, Godric stayed silent and I could feel his eyes burning into me making my cheeks flush, shifting in my seat I remembered the encounter I had with him last night and my cheeks burned even more, I hope he didn't realise how inexperienced I was.

"Do I make you nervous?" The deep growl made me jump and I didn't realise he had moved to sit beside me.

"Erm...I..no, it's just..." I fumbled over my words and inwardly winced at how pathetic I sounded, this is ridiculous, I'm mostly normal with other people, not a toddler learning to speak, I jumped again when I felt a cold thumb sweep across my cheek tucking strands of hair behind my ear.

"You have nothing to be nervous over vacker en" Godric whispered softly and my stomach flipped as he leaned closer, panic shot through my limbs and I jumped from my seat hastily and without thinking causing my body to move much faster than my legs could work sending me flying onto Godric's lap as he caught me. My cheeks burned and tingled as embarrasment flooded me, not knowing how to act I giggled nervously and looked up in to Godric's laughing face, his eyes shone and I thought how I would like to see him smile more. He suddenly gripped me tighter as he slowly brought our bodies closer obviously not wanting me to make another escape. "I've got you Bambi" Godric spoke huskily as he gave me a crooked smile. I smacked his arm at the same time his lips crashed to mine, butterflies erupted in my stomach, this kiss felt different than the others that I had recieved from him, this kiss felt desperate and domineering, he nipped at my bottom lip and I gasped allowing him to plunge his tongue into my mouth rubbing over mine sensually, I lost all thought as he gripped the back of my neck holding me in place his other hand pushing me closer to him from the small of my back. I jumped and squealed pulling away from Godric and off his lap as the door slammed open, Eric standing there his face grimacing for a moment before he saw the sheepish look on Alyssa's bright red face, he smirked in her direction "Awkward" he teased "you should hang a sign on the door or something, watching you dry hump is not the highlight of my day and I would very much like to skip that experience"

" I'd love to skip all the times I've witnessed u trying your pathetic flirting techniques on Sookie..and failing but we can't always get what we want can we? Which is quite obvious for you!" Alyssa snipped back making Godric smile proudly. Feeling brave from her win over Eric she swooped down and gave Godric a swift peck on the cheek before exciting the room giving Eric a sarcastic sympathetic pat in the shoulder as she went.

Eric turned back to Godric after watching Alyssa leave scowling. "I think we need a conversation" he said a little too brightly for Godric's liking.

Vacker en means beautiful one in Swedish (according to Google translate which may not be the best source, sorry)
