Author's Note: Good evening my lovely readers! I hope you are as excited about this chapter as I am... :D Warnings just for a bit of steaminess...not too much though, but hopefully just enough to take the edge off. :P Please enjoy and please please, read and review.

It was a little past 9:00 PM and I had finally classified myself as ready to be Eric's undercover, blood bank companion for the night. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time, took another breath to steady my nerves, and walked back in to Eric's room.

I found him closing his cell phone and standing from his seat in the lounge chair as soon as I stepped into his room.

A few seconds of silence passed and I started to feel really ridiculous in my outfit, "I told you I look like a total whore, and a cheap one at that! Stop staring at me like that, do I need to find something else?"

I started pulling and tugging on my clothes to try to cover more of myself, but as the question left my lips, Eric's fangs clicked into place and he was standing before me in a flash.

"Do not tempt me with ideas of taking your clothes off right now. And you most certainly could never look like a whore. Your outfit will definitely do its job and will allow us to get closer to other vampires and weres. Your sex appeal would make any man salivate, despite his species."

The arms I had crossed over my bare stomach loosened a bit as I noticed that his fangs were down because he was aroused, not because he was angry at me. It gave me just the boost of confidence I needed in the stilettos and skimpy outfit that was playing peek-a-boo with all my female body parts.

I quirked an eyebrow and smiled teasingly, turning around slowly so Eric could see the back view, "You do know you can see my ass in this right? It may be proper attire for the club, but I really don't want everyone in the hotel gaping at me under fluorescent lighting."

Eric chuckled and I watched him visibly struggle to keep his hands to himself, so I turned back around to face him.

"I have a jacket you can put on to cover you while we are here. Now, there are three weres in particular I'm hoping will be at this club tonight, and they are the ones I need information from. I will point them out to you once we are inside, and I need you to approach them offering them a sample of your blood. They aren't vampires, so they will refuse, but they won't tell you why. Use your abilities to coax them into relaxing, and try and separate the one named Jeremy from the others. If you can get him to take you to a private room I will follow, and I will take it from there. I will be watching you at all times, and if you are ever in any danger I will step in. I cannot be seen arriving with you at this club, it would be too suspicious. I had a car rented for you to drive there, and once you arrive I will already be inside. I will intervene as soon as you walk in, as I do not need to take the chance that others will attempt to feed from you. Do you understand?"

I nodded, soaking in all of his directions and replaying them in my head.

"How does this walking human blood bank business work? How am I expected to act and how do vampires generally ask for…well…you know, a bite?"

"You choose who you will allow to feed from you, but some vampires can get aggressive and try to use glamour if you deny them. It is imperative if a vampire does this to you that you act as if you are under their influence. We cannot allow your gift to be exposed. I will ensure that nothing happens to you, but you cannot falter for even a second. Most vampires expect you to try and sell yourself to them, and most of the time they desire sex out of the transaction, preferably when feeding. That is also up to the donor, as some only provide blood services and no sex service. However, you are dressed tonight to provide both, as that is the only way the weres will not be suspicious as to your advances."

"Ok, but if some vampire tries to screw me in the middle of the club, you better be there Mr. Viking, or I'll torment you for the rest of my life."

I said it with a smile on, but I was deadly serious.

Eric ran his hand down my cheek and into my long, wavy hair, "No man, vampire, or were will have the chance. Your delicious body is mine and mine alone to consume…with your needed permission of course."

His fingers were tracing along my neck now, his eyes roaming all over my body.

I leered at him and in the haze of the lust he was so quickly weaving under my skin, I thought, Permission? Didn't I practically hang a sign on my neck?

It didn't take more than a second for me to realize just what he meant. I had outright told him that I wanted there to be more than sex before something physical started, but Pam had assured me that the emotional connection was already there. Last night I had shared my blood with him, to give to him what he had given to me so selflessly, and he didn't pressure me for sex then, nor did he when we both woke up, and I was clearly not denying him on either occasions.

I looked down at the hand he had on my neck and traced my eyes over his wrist, thinking to myself, he shared something so sacred with me, and has asked for nothing in return, respecting what I asked of him. I closed my eyes and gently kissed the inside of his wrist, bringing my hand up to stroke his arm before I wrapped my fingers around the hand he had rested on my shoulder. I felt a rumble pass through my body and I looked up at him, realizing that he was growling deep within his chest.

I peered up into his heated blue eyes and found my voice a little shakier than expected, "I think you know that permission was granted after last night."

I watched as his lips formed into a small smirk, and he pulled me flush against his body, his arms firmly around my waist, "Oh, I know, but it's so sweet to watch you squirm."

My lustful gaze quickly became a glare and he chuckled.

I struggled to get out of his grasp, but before I could even attempt a proper foot stomp he had me pinned on the bed with my arms above my head.

"Eric Northman, you're a dirty little tease!"

From his position above me he raised an eyebrow in indignation, "I don't think 'little' is an appropriate term you would use to describe…well…any part of me."

His hips thrust forward into my own, clearly making me mentally retract my 'little' comment as I felt his very large, and very hard, erection rub against my already moistening panties.

I couldn't hold back the moan of desire that escaped my lips.

Eric must have known that there was zero chance of me furthering my attempts to struggle or get away from him, because he let my arms go as he propped himself up and covered my mouth with his own. As he kissed me, I could feel that his fangs were still down and gathering my bravery, I ran my tongue over them lightly, teasingly.

He pulled back and looked at me, and this time I could feel the rumble from his growl pass over my core and I shivered.

"We will need to go soon, but I need to ask something of you."

I nodded, wanting to let out my own growl of frustration. I swear, if he gets me all hot and bothered and stops me one more time…

"Your body is not marked like a blood and sex donor. Will you allow me to bite you in a few places so that you will fit in better?"

I shivered at the thought from his bite the previous night and probably nodded a little too quickly as he moved down my body.

He caught my eyes and held my gaze as he hovered over my lower half, "I will not feed from you, only bite to allow the skin to break and show my teeth marks. I do not want you to be weak for tonight."

I nodded again and tried to relax on the bed, hoping that just biting and not feeding didn't mean that it would hurt.

He kissed my inner thighs and ran his hands over my bare legs, "Relax. I will not cause you any pain."

I took in a shaky breath, "I trust you."

He kissed my inner right thigh again and sank his fangs into the flesh. The bite point was a one way ticket to electricity between my legs and I immediately felt myself moisten further at the pleasure. I heard Eric take in a deep breath as he released my thigh from his mouth and he moved to cover my body with his.

He kissed my lips hungrily and quickly moved to bite my left wrist, intensifying the feeling further.

"Oh God, Eric!"

He was placing kisses all over my abdomen when he bit right above my exposed hip and I couldn't help but bury my fingers in his hair. His hand danced over the front of my thong and I pushed into him, craving for just a bit more of his touch to send me over the edge.

I groaned at the loss of his mouth on my hip when he pulled away, but the groan turned into a moan of bliss as he pushed one long finger inside of me and rubbed his thumb along my clit. His lips quickly found mine again, and pushing his tongue into my mouth combined with the rhythm of his fingers sent me crashing over the edge.

Forcefully, my head reared back and my body arched up into his, a loud cry filling the room.

As I came back down to earth, I felt soft kisses along my jaw and exposed neck. I smiled and hummed in delight, not sure if I could speak at the moment. Eric backed off of the bed, lifting me up with him.

I took the opportunity to admire him, my heavy eyes roaming over his muscular and lean body and his complete black ensemble topped with a stylish black leather jacket. He was good enough to eat and surprisingly, I found myself becoming aroused again.

Perhaps he could smell it or sense it on me, because his eyes glowed lustfully as he commented, "Oh, I'm certain that I'll take care of you many times repeatedly before the night is over. Don't you worry, my sweet Evelyn."

Still feeling the wetness between my legs I shook my head in disbelief and patted his chest, "Then let's go get our job done at the club, because I'm sure we will have plenty of work to do once we return."

I added a smirk for good measure, "Now, can you give me a coat to cover myself up so we can head on out of here?"
