Where Love Will Lead
Chapter 28
Eric
Eric watched Sookie's reaction as she walked around the small space. It was simple and although it wasn't perfectly clean, it was neat.
Sookie's eyes slowly walked around the room and she said, "I like it. It's not at all what I would have expected."
He smiled and walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her and asked, "Blood red walls, drapes of black and a coffin dramatically displayed in the center of the room?"
She looked over her shoulder at him and gave him an amused smile, "Something like that. Fangtasia, is actually what I was expecting."
Eric chuckled and said, "Fangtasia is everything humans want vampires to be, and not what they are. Most of the time, a vampire's interests and tastes are derived from their heritage. My time was simpler, more about survival. Warm lodges, hearty fires."
Sookie nodded as she focused back on the small, simple dwelling. It was a small cabin-like home. The furniture was simple brown leather with royal blue and gold throw pillows splayed haphazardly. There was a fireplace and the table was for only two people. Sookie walked over to it and lightly touched its surface. The word she would use to describe the small, intimate cabin was...rustic. Manly. A guy's place. She knew only Eric came here.
While it was simple, there also an elegance to it. The work was neat and clean.
Sookie turned to him again and asked, "Did you build this?"
He looked at her in shock, but he then nodded, "How did you know?"
"Carpenters today wouldn't know how to do this type of work. It's...remarkable," she complimented as she walked to him.
He smiled and said, "Yes Sookie, I have always been good when working with my wood."
Sookie laughed and Eric felt his heart constrict at how beautiful she looked as she did. She stopped in front of him and stood on her tiptoes, kissing his chin, then his lips. She pecked his lips, asking for his lips to respond and he smiled and then gave in.
Sookie shivered in his arms the more passionate the kiss got and he pulled back and said, "I am starting a fire."
"You sure are," Sookie said as she panted.
He laughed and Sookie smiled and said, "A fire would be nice though."
He nodded and walked to the fireplace and began to build one. He hadn't used the fireplace in quite some time since he was vampire and didn't get cold, but he did enjoy them occasionally and Sookie needed to stay warm. He had many ways to keep her warm in mind.
Sookie sat and watched him make the fire. He smiled, feeling her eyes on him and zipped to her on the couch and asked, "Enjoying the view?"
She nodded and smiled, pulling his face to hers and kissing him. Eric lost himself in her touches and kisses, hearing her blood begin to pound through her veins as she got more and more aroused.
He needed to get this fire done with.
Sookie pulled her lips from his and then kissed her way down his neck, sucking on the place where his pulse would be if he had one. "Sookie..." he groaned, pulling her onto his lap, grinding his erection into her ass.
She gasped as she felt it and he kissed her neck as she gasped for air. Sookie cupped his cheeks as her hips began to roll onto him.
Sookie, eyes blazing with lust, whispered, "Forget the fire. Where is the bedroom?"
Eric kissed her and picked her up and held her close as he walked them to bedroom.
Sookie ran her fingers through his hair, never taking her eyes off of his and he carried her to the small bedroom and laid her out on the bed. Eric only looked down at her and watched her as she breathed heavily on the bed and waited for him to join her.
Eric grabbed one foot and removed her shoes and then slowly slid his hands up her smooth legs. He didn't know what to say and maybe it was because they didn't need words. They never really needed words. The way they felt about each other was enough. And the way they expressed those feelings through touches was enough. And the way Sookie looked at him, like she was right now, was enough.
Sookie sat up and grabbed his hand and pulled him to her. He moved to lie next to her but she shook her head and whispered, "No."
She pulled him to lie on top of her and he put the majority of his weight on his forearms. Sookie ran her fingers through his hair and he mirrored her actions and they both just wondered that they were here and together. Finally.
"I missed you," he whispered to her as he looked down into her face.
"I missed you," she whispered back.
Eric gently touched his lips to hers and she reached between them and unbuttoned his pants. Once again, he mimicked her actions and unbuttoned her shorts and pushed them past her hips along with her panties.
Sookie shivered as the cool air hit her skin and she quickly pushed his jeans past his hips. He shimmied out of them and pulled her shirt up and over her head. She leaned up on her elbows and he reached behind her and released her bra, revealing her...sinful breasts. There had never been a pair of breasts more perfect than hers.
He couldn't help reaching down and kissing each one, taking her nipples in his mouth and familiarizing himself with her rosy peaks. Sookie shivered in pleasure at his attention and she reached between them and grabbed him, causing him to growl as he sucked on her nipple.
She stroked him gently, but firmly. Almost at a maddening pace. His fangs clicked down and he released her nipple and his mouth sought hers on instinct. She met his frantic search in her own haste and she kissed him deeply as she guided him to her entrance. Eric groaned as he felt her slick warm heat and whimpered, "Sookie."
He slowly eased into her, groaning as the kiss grew more passionate the deeper in her he went. She moaned with him and bucked her hips against his, taking him in, almost desperately.
When he was fully inside her, he rested there as they broke the kiss. Sookie panted as she caught her breath and Eric rested his forehead against hers, basking at being with her once more. "I love you," he said.
She shuddered in pleasure and said, "I love you, too."
He nodded and whispered, "This is best," as he began to thrust in and out of her. She gripped his arms tightly and he sped up, causing her to moan and writhe beneath him. He held onto her tightly and pounded into her, feeling the pressure in his balls as he felt himself build up with Sookie.
"This is best," he groaned out, "This is right."
Sookie only nodded as she closed her eyes, waiting for her orgasm to hit. She clenched her jaw and Eric felt concern flood his body, despite the overpowering lust. "Does it hurt?" he asked, slowing his thrusts, ready to stop and heal her if he was.
"God no, please keep going Eric!" she practically shouted.
He nodded and sped back up, kissing both of her cheeks, her forehead, her eyelids and down her neck. She panted, and her breathing became erratic as she neared her finish. He thrust into her and as his fangs grazed the vein in her neck, her back arched and she came around him, causing him to spurt into her violently as her walls clenched him tight and coated him in her passion.
Eric shuddered on top of Sookie as she stopped writhing and she rode out the orgasm, a completely dreamy look on her face. He finished shuddering and releasing into her, and then rested the majority of his weight on her as he came down.
Sookie hugged him closely to her and rubbed his back and it was then that he realized he had been panting as well. Fuck...
"That was..." he began,
"Amazin'," she said as her heart slowed to normal pace. She leaned her head up and kissed him deeply.
He leaned down and sealed the wound on her neck, not healing it until she asked him to.
Sookie kissed his neck to and it was his deepest wish that she would take his blood. But he was not going to pressure her into it. She needed time and they needed to get to know one another. Although he was sure about her, he wanted her to be sure about him.
Sookie
Sookie contemplated taking his blood, but it was the last bond severing that stopped her. And the fact that she didn't know if that was okay with Eric.
Eric rolled them so he was lying on his back and Sookie was resting on him. She laid her head out on his chest, and his hand immediately went to her hair, smoothing her locks and running his fingers through it. Sookie kissed his chest and closed her eyes as her body continued to tingle on post coital bliss. She sighed deeply and said, "I like your cabin."
He chuckled and she looked up at him. He was beautiful when he smiled, but more so when he laughed. Sookie then saw it. "Eric! The bleeds!"
She looked to the closed door. The sunlight was completely blocked out and Sookie wondered if Eric was safe in here.
"You think I would build my cabin without making sure it was safe. It secures itself twenty minutes before sunrise," he said, pulling her back down to him, rubbing her back in a soothing way.
She relaxed against him and yawned, saying, "You should get some rest."
"Look who's talking. You have had quite the long night," he said, kissing the top of her head.
"Just as long as yours," she responded.
He kissed her then sweetly, but she broke it off before either of them could get going again and said, "It creeps me out to have you bleeding as I am kissin' you. So go to sleep. I will be here when you wake up."
He kissed her once more and wrapped his arms around her and entangled his legs with hers. She closed her eyes and said, "Love you, g'night."
"Godnatt min Sookie. Jag älskar dig mer än du någonsin kommer att veta (Goodnight my Sookie. I love you more than you will ever know)," he whispered as he died for the day.
The last thing Sookie was aware of was the smile on her face that wouldn't leave. She was happy. Safely wrapped in the arms of the man she was supposed to be with. The man she loved.
Okay so their first time (in this story)? What did you all think?
