It turned out shopping with Pam wasn't that bad except she made me buy all this slutty underwear but let's face every woman likes to own some. It been a week since we went shopping and I'm loving the stuff I bought and of course Pam insisted on buying me some as well although everything she picked was racy and I would never wear them out in public. Probably.
I awoke from a faint scratching sound. I instantly set out my field but felt nothing. I slowly pushed off my blankets and slid from my bed but not before grabbing the silver knife I kept under my pillow. Jason is home but from his brain pattern I'd say he was asleep. I crept through the house cautiously in my large t-shirt and blue boy short panties.
The noise was coming from somewhere in the direction of the kitchen and it defiantly wasn't my imagination. I gripped the knife tighter as I crept through the kitchen and to the back door. It was closed and locked but that doesn't mean I'm safe. There was still nothing in my field but I wanted to be sure. I unlatched the door and slowly opening it with a creek. The wind gushed in making my skin break out in goose bumps. The wind was cold but not unbearable.
I walked into the porch and down into the clod wet grass, my bare feet squashing it silently. I ignored the cold and continued to follow the sound. I walked out to the garden shed where the sound was the loudest. It was dark but even in the dark I could see a small gray puppy scratching relentlessly at the tin. He was wet and I felt bad for him.
"Hey buddy" I said waning him I was there, he just continued scratching. I kneeled net to him and patted his back "Come here" I said as I lifted him from the ground. He was small but I could tell from his paws that he was going to be a big dog. He snuggled into my shirt searching for warmth.
That's when I felt it a void came into my field. I placed the dog on the ground calmly and it pressed into my leg. I stood up appearing calm as the void got closer until it was right behind me.
"Don't move a muscle or I will castrate you" I said emphasising my words by pressing the knife into his crotch, still not turning to him. He stilled either at the smell of silver or the idea of me cutting off his manhood.
A barrow tone chuckle filled the air and I breathed out the breath I was holding to turn around "what do you want Eric?" I asked looking at his tall frame; he was actually shielding my body from the wind. He looked good in his usual jeans and fangtasia shirt but the glint in his eyes told me everything. He was very aware of my minimal clothing and I cross my arms over my chest self consciously and glared at him.
"Do you always walk around in your underwear at 1 in the morning?" Eric asked smirking "Because if so I would like to buy a ticket for life to see that show" He grinned fangs on display and I had to laugh.
"What are you doing here Eric?" I repeated a small smile on my face.
His face went serious "I came to apologize for the other night" He said sliding his hands into his pants and looking at me regrettably.
"Bullshit" I deadpanned "What do you want me to do that I'm not going to like?" I asked looking him in the eye.
Eric dropped all innocent facade and looked me in the eye "I need you to accompany me to New Orleans" He said simply and I glared at him.
"I am not going to see your bitch queen" I spat at him defiantly, staying as still as possible but the air was cold and I couldn't help but shiver. Eric quickly removed his jacket and placed it over my shoulders.
"Sookie it is required" He said a hint of pleading in his voice
"Fuck! Do you have any idea what she will do if she realises what I really am and what I can do?" I whispered in a harsh tone.
"I have some ideas which is why I'm going with you" He glared I glared back, we stood there for a minute not saying anything but were interrupted by the porch light illuminating the yard.
"Sookie?" Jason called from the porch.
"I'll be in a minute" I yelled
He looked from me to Eric and then his eyes went wide "no rush ahhh use protection" He yelled and my face burned as I stared at him. Not only was that irrelevant since Eric's a vampire but how could he think that is what's happening
"NO! Jason I'll be a minute" I glared; he took the message and disappeared into the house.
"I'm starting to like him" Eric grinned and I rolled my eyes
"That's just because of that affectionate hug that you seemed to enjoy too much" I dead panned and looked down to cover my smirk at his growl.
"I did not enjoy that hug" He growled glaring at me and I just smiled up at him innocently and said.
"Are you sure you and he would make a cute couple" I teased grinning at him. He growled again before his face took a wicked smirk and he pushed me up against the shed, his body pinning me there and I knew I was in trouble.
"Would you like me to prove what my preference is?" He asked pushing his arousal into my leg. I gulped shaking my head when the rest of me was screaming 'yes please' "Are you sure?" He asked breathing in my ear and I closed my eyes to compose myself.
"No" I whispered my voice not half as strong as I wish it was. The feeling of his body against mine was very distracting and I couldn't help but push back against him, breathing in his scent. God he always smelt so good.
Luckily the puppy chose that minute to scratch at my leg, pulling me from my trance and I pushed him back, he let me and watched me silently but I could see him fighting a smirk.
"I'll go. Call me with when" I said as I picked up the puppy and walk inside, not looking back once but I could feel his eyes on my back right up until I closed the door and locked it.
I hugged the puppy to me "you are my little hero" I whispered into his soft fur "I think that is what I will call you Hero" I smiled down at him "come on you need a bath" I said carrying him to the bathroom to wash.
