AN: I'm cranky and in massive amounts of pain. Fibro is a pain in the ass... and everywhere else. On that note, I may not be updating tomorrow, depending on how I feel and if I can get out of bed. Enjoy.

SPOV

I'm almost hypnotized by his blazing eyes. I can't do much more than stand and stare at him. His face stays neutral, but a multitude of emotions flare through the sapphire blue that I have gazed at in pictures. I can feel my pulse speed up and my breathing becomes deeper.

"I'm leaving for New York before the end of the week. I'll be gone for two weeks, then I'll only have a week before filming on the movie starts. I'm not going to have a lot of time," he says, matching my soft tone. I guess he wants me forewarned that he's not going to have a lot of time to spend with me.

"I was aware of that when I made my decision. We're both going to be busy… for different reasons, of course, but I don't see why we can't take advantage of any down time we happen to share . I'm not demanding that I become your priority, Eric." I tell him, taking a tiny step closer. "I just want to enjoy whatever time we happen to get. I don't want any more than that."

"And your demand of fidelity?" he asks. I can't help but bristle at that.

"It's not a demand since there's no commitment, but I do ask that you're honest with me about anyone else. I'm not going to insist you change your life for me. Just don't put me at risk for anything and please don't feel like I need details. What you do on your own time is your business." I thought about that on my way here. I know he's going out of town and I'm sure he has "friends" in both New York and L.A. I can avoid the gossip rags for a few weeks if it helps me stay happy and ignorant for the rest of the summer.

"Are you drunk?" he asks with a small smile and I'm almost certain of where he's going.

"Sober as a preacher on Sunday," I tell him, taking another tiny step closer.

"Anyone looking for you? Any enraged little men that I should expect to try to break down my door?"

"Nuh-uh," I shake my head. Step closer.

"Tired? Hungry? Medical conditions that need addressing?" His smile is growing.

Step closer. "Nope," I say, popping the "p".

He closes his eyes for a long second before meeting mine again. He takes that final step, closing the space between us and pulling me against him by my hips. "Anything at all that could possibly interrupt us?"

I stand on my toes and press a chaste kiss onto his neck. "My phone is turned off. The security gate closed behind me. Unless you're expecting anyone to visit… we're completely alone and will stay that way."

He groans and leans down to capture my mouth in a kiss like the one earlier. Preliminaries almost seem unnecessary after all the build up from earlier, but I'm not going to argue. I wrap my arms around his neck and open my mouth for his tongue, savoring the taste of him. He tastes like the sweet tea I've turned him onto. His kisses change from teasing, gentle strokes with his tongue to nibbling and sucking on my lips and back again. When I break the kiss to catch my breath, he doesn't hesitate to nibble and suck on my neck, making me shiver.

When my panting breaths break his concentration, he leans back and unwraps my hands from his neck. Without a word, he takes one and leads me to the bedroom he claimed on his first night here. Without teasing or delay, he smooths his hands up my sides and arms, peeling my t-shirt off. Almost too fast to track, his joins mine on the floor and he pulls me close again by the belt loops of my shorts.

His skin against mine is so warm and surprisingly soft. He sits on the bed and has me stand between his legs to even out the height difference. I run my fingers over his bare torso and smile at the way his muscles unconsciously flex under my touch. He grunts softly and attacks my mouth again with his amazing kisses, running his own hands over my bare stomach and back before working their way up to my lace covered breasts. Deftly, he unclasps the material and lets it join the slowly growing pile of clothes on the floor.

He maneuvers his lips down my neck and chest before latching onto my nipple, flicking it lightly with the tip of his tongue. His fingers tweak and strum over the other, almost overwhelming me with sensations. When he gently bites down, I can't help but whimper and feel my knees give out a little. He cups my ass to hold me upright and even closer.

Kissing his way across my chest, he treats my other nipple to the same treatment and lets his fingers trail down my tummy until they reach the button for my jeans. He flicks open the fly and tugs a little. If he's asking permission, he's got it. "Please," I sigh and feel him smile against my skin. His nimble hands waste no time and use gravity to help drop both my shorts and panties to the floor as well.

He picks me up and lays me on the bed where he hovers over me. "I can barely believe that I finally get to do this. I almost expect another interruption right about now."

I shake my head and stretch my neck to kiss him. "Shut up and don't jinx it."

His chuckle sounds like pure sex and he nibbles and kisses his way slowly down my body. When he gets to my navel, he licks over my charm. "I don't know why I'm so amused by this. When is your birthday, by the way? If you're a Cancer, it must be soon."

"Ugh, July first. Do you really want to talk about astrology right now?" I moan almost in disbelief.

He tugs the charm with his lips before kissing lower. Using his thumbs, he spreads open my lower lips and blows a hot breath over the wet skin, making me shiver again. Pleased with the reaction, he does it a few more times before I'm whimpering with impatience. Just before I'm ready to curse him for teasing me, he runs his expert tongue through my fold and I can't disguise my moan.

I'm not a stranger to oral sex, but only one man was skilled enough to get me off with his mouth alone. With the way Eric alternates sucks and nibbles on my clit with teasing my entrance and taking long, leisurely swipes through my lips, he clearly relishes the act and makes sure that I do too.

I feel the tension building in my stomach and know there's a sheen of sweat on my face. I grip the sheets as he works me over, bring me to the edge and backing off what seems like dozens of times. I manage to get a handful of his hair and pull. "Damn it, please," I grunt out, my control in shreds.

"Please what, Sookie," he sighs against my thigh before teasing the sensitive skin with little nibbles.

I grit my teeth. "Let me come. Make me come. Please," I beg. No, I'm not too proud.

As if all he was waiting for was my pleas, he attacks my pussy with fervor, wanting to end my suffering. My back arches with pleasure when he suckles on my nub, his suction far from gentle. Tension builds even more and I feel myself get even wetter. He stabs his tongue into me and thrusts, moaning into me. "You taste so fucking good, kära," he moans, the vibrations getting me even closer.

"Pleasepleaseplease," I whimper and he takes mercy on me at long last. Returning his lips to my clit, he slides two long fingers into me and finds that spot inside me capable of reducing me to boneless jelly. When he manipulates both bundles of nerves, I finally shatter into pieces and come hard on his face.

As if to make it up to me for the teasing, he doesn't let up and I feel a second orgasm building before the first one is finished and I think would levitate off the bed but for Eric's grip on my hips. When he attempts to keep going, I have to grab his hair again and pull him away. "I can't," I say while trying to catch my breath. "Too much."

He grins up at me, his mouth shiny and his lips swollen. "We haven't even gotten started yet. If you remember your name tomorrow morning, then I haven't done my job."

Oh God.

AN: Before I forget, thanks to MissyDee and RealJena... their help was necessary in getting this done. And Please (pretty pretty please) review... it really is a HUGE pick-me-up.
