Chapter twenty-one

Sookie's POV

"Sookie, this chicken is amazing. Where did you learn to cook like this?" Alcide inquires after swallowing his third bite of my grandmother's famous chicken.

"My gran, actually" I admit with a sheepish grin as I take another bite of my chicken. The rest of the dinner was filled with mindless chit chat until we were both finished and I was cleaning the pots. Alcide's in his room, getting himself unpacked and settled while I sit in front of the TV and flick through random channels. I miss Eric. That shouldn't be possible; I shouldn't miss him so easily. If he had been gone for a week or two, fair enough, but not when he's only been gone for just over two and half hours. I wonder if he can feel how much I miss him, how much I crave him. Yes, I admit it. I crave him.

He's like my drug. It doesn't help that I'm feeling horny and lusty either. God Damn it, I sound like some hormonal teenage girl who has just spotted the hot popular guy that she has strange sexual feelings for. With a sigh I settle for lying down on the sofa while watching some aimless reality show that I have no interest in. But soon enough I fall asleep.

Eric's POV

"Pamela, how many more of these sheets is there?" I probe as I fill in what must have been the millionth piece of paper now. This is ridiculous. I know I am a successful business man, as well as a powerful vampire, but the amount of work that comes with it is ludicrous. Maybe I should hire someone to do all this for me and I just sign where needed, after looking through it all of course. I'm not naïve, so I cannot trust anyone other than those closest to me. Pam and Sookie being the main ones; I am always on alert for traitors and the untrustworthy.

"A few more, but they can wait until tomorrow if you wish to go back to Sookie" she tells me but I wave her off.

"I will finish these now so that tomorrow I can stay at home with my Lover. I may even take her out somewhere" I inform her as she passes me yet another pile of papers.

"Anywhere nice in mind? And you only have to fill and sign these, I checked them over ages ago while you were consumed with the other paperwork" she assures me. I knew I could trust Pamela, so I just quickly fill them in before popping them on top of the complete pile.

"I have a few ideas in mind, but if you have any romantic suggestions then please do enlighten me. I want to do something special for her"

"You really love her don't you?" Pam's voice sounded soft and what she said sounds more like a statement than a question.

"Yes" I confess for the first time to her. I do not fear these feelings anymore, in fact I embrace them.

"Just finish up these, I checked them as well. They're all acceptable and the ones that aren't I threw away. Once you're done with them I will give you as many ideas as my pretty little head can muster" which will be a house full knowing Pam. With that I finish off all my paperwork, Sookie's lust pouring through the bond. I tense for a second thinking that it's for that Were when I notice that she misses me. I smile to myself knowing that she wants me and not the stupid Were. She will always be mine whether she wants to be or not; it's just easier if she accepts that she is mine.

"Tell me, Pam, what have you thought of?" I query her and what she tells me stuns me into silence. I never knew Pam could be so…romantic. But it sounds perfect, not to mention the after bit I have planned in my head.

"Thank you, Pam" I tell her as I leave Fangtasia and shoot myself into the sky. I didn't bother taking my Corvette seeing as it is much quicker to fly around than it is to drive. Not to mention that I got back to my home in record timing; I practically sprint into the house where I find Sookie asleep on the sofa laid on her back. I smirk to myself as I walk over to her, thinking that I could return the wakeup call and the aftermath bit of course. With that thought in mind I climb on top of her, putting as little pressure on her as possible; I would hate for her to wake up before I have even started. I lean down and graze my lips over hers; all she does is mumble something but remains in her sleep induced state.

My hand slides up her leg and over the button that I pop open on her jeans, I then slide down her zipper before dipping my hand into her pants. My hand cupping her dripping heat, not moving, just sitting there. My eyes watching her facial expression carefully as my thumb starts to rub her clit, earning me a moan, before I gently ram my fingers into her making her eyes flutter open as she gasps. Before she could even say anything I attach my lips to hers, my two fingers pumping in and out of her at a steady pace, her soft moans and groans getting lost in the cavern of my mouth as her hands knit themselves into my hair.

"Eric!" she shouts as her glorious come covers my fingers, her hands gripping my hair tighter in their grip. I pull my hand out of her pants before sucking each finger, making sure to lick every last bit of her release from my fingers. I may have even have moaned.

"Please fuck me, Eric" she all but begs me, making me grin as I grab her and shoot us into our bedroom where I strip us both naked. In seconds I have her under me on the bed and my thumb starts to work her clit as I suck on the side of her neck, her doing the same to mine. She even bites down gently just to tease me, and turn me on by no end, before pulling back and placing kisses down my neck and over my Adam's apple. Her moans increasing with every flick of my thumb against her most sensitive part.

"I need you now" she moans and that's all the encouragement I need. So with that I plunge into her, her back arching and a small moan exiting from her beautiful plump lips. My rhythm is steady and slow at first, just taking my time. Relishing in our love making before her small pants begin to become more ragged, ultimately upping my libido.

"Faster" she demands as her hips begin to meet me thrust for thrust. I oblige as I begin to pound into her faster, making sure to enter at the right angel to hit her G-spot as well as for me to get deeper inside of her, her warmth encasing me as her wetness washes over my throbbing cock. Her warmth engulfing my member, her wetness only surging me on further. I knew we were both close to our release when I felt her walls begin to clamp down around me, but never ceasing my movement as my thrusts continue; I lean down and bite into her neck.

"Oh, God. Yes!" she screams as her orgasm rips through her, dragging mine out with hers. Both of us shouting out as our highs reach their peak. But before either of us could come down I have us flipped so she's on top of me, straddling my waist while I lick at her wounds.

"What do you want, Eric?" Sookie teases me while placing a kiss on my chest.

"I want you to ride me" I almost plead her.

She grins at me as she begins to rock against me, only making me go deeper into her depths.

"I love it when you ride me" I murmur to her as my hands settle on her hips, helping her move faster and harder; just the way I like it.

"You just like watching my breasts bounce" she accuses as her hands rest on my chest for balance. "As much as I love to see the girls bouncing, I actually like being able to see you. All of you as we make love" I confess and just to top it off I slide one of my hands over her breasts. Kneading it softly.

My other hand then abandons her waist as it travels down to her core where my thumb locates her clit, stroking circles around it; occasional flicking her sensitive nub.

"I'm so close" she muses before I lean up and capture her lips with mine again. I love kissing her; it feels new, yet familiar. A strange combination, but one I love all the more.

"Come for me, Lover" I encourage her as I thrust up, sending her over the edge as she moans my name. My own orgasm being ripped out from me along with her's. Both of us shout out each other's names as we come at the same time. When we are both down from our highs Sookie gets off me as she collapses down next to me, automatically curling into my side. My arms wrapping around her as I nuzzle her neck; breathing in her luscious scent.

"I love you, Sookie" I assure her as I smile into her neck.

"I love you, too" she retorts straight back, cuddling closer into me.

"Sookie, I want to take you out tomorrow. Somewhere special, but it is all a surprise for you" I torment her as my hand strokes up and down her side aimlessly.

"Okay" she smiles sleepily before dream land takes her. If only I could see her dreams; see what her imagination loves to stir up.

"Sweet dreams, Lover" I murmur as I get out of the bed, making sure not to wake her up, before sliding on my pyjama bottoms and heading out of the bedroom to talk to the Were. I wish to lay down some ground rules with him; I will not take any risks of him stealing Sookie from me. Even though I am very confident that he couldn't. She is mine; just one more exchange will secure that.
