This story has a T rating, as most of you know. This chapter might bring it into a bit more of an M rating, just so you know. How can it not when two very passionate people are alone again after weeks apart, no? I hope that you enjoy it! Thanks for all of the love.

Aislin looked at him and his grin, seeing how happy he was that she was there as well as feeling it. It flowed through their bond freely, and she slowly stepped towards the bed, using the dim lamp near the bed to see. She watched as his eyes moved slowly down her body, knowing that she sheer lace of the camisole didn't leave much to the imagination. Nor did the tiny matching thong that barely covered her. Her body heated up with the slow and hungry gaze, and she felt the lace between her legs moistening easily. She moved onto the bed on her knees before him, gazing down his body and letting her gaze rest on the sheet that still covered him. She moved her legs apart as she sat flat on the bed, and his eyes moved between her legs as he inhaled deeply. "I see that you are eager to be home as well."

"Yes." Aislin assured him, and watched as he reached a hand forward to stroke her legs.

"Where is Logan?" Eric asked, and she could see him listening to the sounds of the house.

"Matt's. He wanted some time alone with him and I thought we could get a lot more accomplished that way as well." Aislin replied, shifting as she felt herself throbbing inside. The whole room smelled like him, heavy and musky yet sweet. She breathed it in and felt him turn her around and pull her against him. "You don't want to see me?" Aislin asked, and felt him part her legs with his strong hands.

"Quite the contrary." Eric replied into her ear, and she shivered. "I will see plenty of you once I shred this and proceed to make love to you every way possible." She felt his hand slide down and grip her thong where it started to cover her hips and bunch it up in his hands. She moaned as he pulled them up into her folds slowly and teasingly, and she bit her lip as he passed it over her swollen center. "I smell you, Aislin. I smell how much you want this." She knew that he wanted it as well because the evidence was pressed between her back and his stomach. He had slept naked as always. He increased the pressure of the cloth pulling against her for a few moments, and she cried out with it.

"I need you, Eric." Aislin begged him, and she felt him rip the lace off of her. She gasped as he lifted her and slid her over his erection, one hand across her chest and one hand on her thigh. "Oh, god." He began to thrust into her as he grabbed the top of the lace and tore it off. Her breasts bounced free and he teased the nipple as his other hand cupped her between her legs and began to stroke along with his movements. She moaned and groaned as he moved deeply inside of her, and as soon as she was on the brink of releasing he bit into her neck and brought her to an explosive one that she screamed his name through. He followed shortly thereafter and pulled back from her to cry out her name as he deepened the thrusts, moving forward to clean the wound again. "I love you, Eric."

"I love you, Aislin." Eric told her, and let her turn to face him as she slid her arms around his neck and stared into his face. "I just needed to get that out of the way." He kissed her lovingly, and she parted her lips as he sucked on her full bottom lip. The kiss turned into a hungry battle for dominance before too long, and she wrapped her legs around him as he hardened again beneath her. He pushed her back onto the bed and leaned on one arm above her and looked down at her with warm eyes. "I want to see you this time." He leaned down to kiss her again and moved his lips slowly down her body, starting under her ear and moving across her very sensitive neck. He had taken easy advantage of that reveal once she had told him several times. She dropped her hands to her side and relaxed as his lips ghosted across her skin, feeling herself want him again more and more as he felt the same from him. This was the most intense part of their bond for her, when she could not deny just how connected they were, in both good and bad ways. Being away she could have nearly convinced herself that it was not there, but the moment she saw him in Oregon she had known again instantly. It had hit her like a freight train, as it was now as he kissed down between her breasts as his thumbs brushed across her pert nipples slowly. "I have missed you like this. It was so rushed at your parents and I didn't get to truly enjoy your delicious body. This is how I wanted it." She felt his cool tongue flick against them and moaned gently as she waited for him to draw them into his mouth. She loved the feeling of his teeth against her skin, and she whimpered as she felt it. She throbbed deep within her body and Aislin wanted him inside of her again as she bit her lip. She felt him part her legs and drape his long torso over her, and felt his hardness pressed against her thigh as she tried to move below him. "Someone else missed this, I see." Eric chuckled and looked into her wide eyes as she looked at him, and pinched her nipple between his fingers. "I like the wanton look in your beautiful eyes. I like the smell of your arousal. I like having you here to enjoy both of those things, more importantly."

Aislin tried to speak but couldn't, and she sucked in her breath instead to try and gain the strength. He smiled hungrily at her as he plainly saw what he did to her, and lifted his body off of hers as he gazed down at her. He slid her leg up to his torso and kissed her calf hard as she moaned, knowing how close they were. With one movement her could be inside of her, but instead he nipped down her legs and she cried out with the frustrating need in her body. He bit a few very brief times just to taste and it made her whimper softly as he got higher up her leg and he finally dropped and settled between her legs. He licked her long and hard at first, and she gasped as her sensitive body responded. Aislin gazed down at him to see his eyes focused on her face, and they locked gazes as she slid her hands into his hair. He proceeded to suck her into his mouth between his lips, and against his teeth. He slid his fingers over her and inside of her while he worked her with his mouth, and she was soon moaning and writhing beneath him. She came for him eagerly, crying out his name as he sucked on her flowing juices heavily. She felt him sliding over her to kiss her and she licked her taste off of his lips hungrily as he kissed her. The time they had spent apart mingled with their careless desire within the room, and she slid her hands into his hair roughly. He pressed between her weakly splayed legs heavily, and she moaned against his lips. "I want you again, Eric. Please take me." Aislin whispered, and felt his heavy gaze. She met it with her own, and saw the pleased look in his deepening blue eyes.

"Beg me, lover." Eric told her, and she furrowed her brows at him. "I want to hear the need in your voice."

"You know I need you." Aislin told him, feeling him harden further against her. She moved to try and get him closer, and he playfully moved away. "No, Eric. Don't pull away from me." Aislin pleaded, feeling the ache of their time apart all over again. She reached out to hold onto him, and pulled him down for a desperate kiss. "Don't leave me again."

"Leave you?" Eric asked, pulling away to stare at her. "You left me for a month. You left the rings I gave you here, and all of the meaning that they held. I should be the one clinging to you right now."

"So do it." Aislin told him, and felt him slide his hands over her body. "I didn't want to answer a lot of questions that I did not know how to answer, and that is why I left them here. I knew that they would be safe. I love you, but I cannot freely broadcast that to everybody."

"You left here questioning us." Eric noted, kissing her gently. "I hate that."

"What did you expect?" Aislin asked him, and he met her eyes. "I loved you so much, and you just disappeared."

"I am sorry, Aislin." Eric murmured, his blue eyes shimmering with sincerity. "I am sorry for everything." He kissed her again and she gasped at the force of it, sliding her arms around his neck to pull him closer. Her hot and damp skin pressed close to his cool marble skin, and she took in every sensation as she slid her legs around his thighs. He entered her slowly as she lifted her hips to meet him, and they moaned together. They could have each other over and over, yet each time felt new. He took her hard as she cried out, and she moved with him hard as they fucked hard and fast. His lips found hers as her body tightened around him, and she came as she felt his tongue enter her eager mouth. He followed and she gripped his hair as she felt him release inside of her. She dropped to the mattress weakly and took several deep breaths as she closed her eyes. He moved to his side and propped his head up on one hand as he took her in slowly, and his eyes gleamed with love.

Aislin rolled over to the small drawer on the night stand and pulled it open. She pulled out a small velvet box and slid her rings out of it as she glanced at him. "Will you put these back on me?"

"Absolutely." Eric told her, and took the diamond one and slid it onto her ring finger. He took the mother's ring and slid it onto her other hand, and then gazed into her eyes. "I am going to marry you, Aislin Morrow. Someday I am going to marry you." They snuggled together and she glanced at the clock after awhile.

"I need to call about the baby." Aislin murmured, and looked at Eric as he kissed her.

"One more time, lover." Eric teased, his hand sliding between her legs as she gasped. They made love slowly and tenderly again, and she rested in his arms after they were finished. She took a quick shower after she called Matt to check on Logan, and Eric went to the bar for a few hours to check in. she walked into the house and grinned at Matt and Logan playing on the floor, and Matt looked up at her.

"You look tired. I figured you would sleep." Matt told her, and she smiled ruefully. She came in and sat on the couch and looked at the baby. "Has he gotten hungry?"

"I gave him some of the milk you left me today." Matt told her, and she smiled as he handed Logan to her. She grabbed the blanket from her diaper bag and covered herself with it before easing Logan under it, which was not an easy task with him being so big. Matt's eyes caught the rings that sparkled in the light, and she glanced at him before she stroked her son's head over the blanket. "I thought you had broken up." Aislin knew that he was aware that she had somebody, but he didn't seem to remember the confrontations he'd had with Eric.

"It was hard enough explaining our situation to my old fashioned parents." Aislin murmured, and he nodded. A silence grew over the room as the baby fed, and she bit her lip slowly. "I thought you were okay with us just being parents."

"I am. I think I got caught up with us being in Oregon together, and around your family. Maybe it felt like something else for awhile." Matt admitted, and glanced at her. "I will always want a family over separate lives. Always. I can live with this though and hope that you are happy."

"I am, for the most part." Aislin assured him, and he nodded. She stayed and chatted for a bit and then loaded her son up into the car. She drove them home as he babbled in the back, and then carried him into the house as she yawned. She hoped that he was tired. He squealed when she set him down on the floor to get the bags off of her shoulders, and she stared at him. Did he remember this place that well? The door opened and Eric strode in through the kitchen, and the baby screamed happily at him.

"I see he is happy to be home." Eric said, grinning broadly as he stepped up to her to kiss her deeply. He sat with Logan on the floor, who crawled towards him eagerly. Eric picked him up and held him, and she sat on the couch to observe them. It was a touching reunion, seeing the red in the corners of Eric 's eyes and the strain of missing Logan in his face. The baby was just simply happy to be home, and he giggled and talked to Eric endlessly as her eyes started to droop. "Go sleep, my love. If he gets hungry, I will bring him to you."

"OK, that sounds great." Aislin admitted, and yawned. She went back and stripped down to a long tee shirt and crawled into the big bed. She had missed it so much and she snuggled deeply under the covers as she smelled him in it. She smelled his basic scent and the lingering scent of their coupling, and she smiled as sleep slowly took her over. She woke up shortly to hear a fussy baby, and she took him automatically next to her and pulled off her shirt. He latched on eagerly and she felt Eric sit behind her and stroke her hair softly. It relaxed her and she dozed as Logan fed with her arm securely around him. She felt Eric take him and she fell deeply into sleep until her came and wrapped her body up with his own. "I love you." Aislin murmured, and he kissed her hair.

She woke up the next day to a baby crying, and pulled the shirt on to go and get him. She fed him on the couch and then made some tea as she woke up. She was home and it felt good. Aislin called Hannah and planned on meeting with the band for lunch so they could talk and plan. She took a shower later after her sister arrived with a big grin on her face, and they headed to the diner to meet the group. Ally held Logan as Aislin tended to business and they planned the release and the local show to celebrate it with their fans. They were all excited, and she received as lot of hugs from them both arriving and leaving. She went to the store with Ally and Logan, and glanced at her sister in the produce aisle. "So are you and Pam good?"

"We fucked all night. It was really amazing, and she said she was with nobody else at all. I am so happy to be home with her." Ally whispered, and Aislin felt a pang of jealousy. "Is it good to be with Eric again? I see you are sparkling again."

"It's amazing. It is great for both of us." Aislin said quickly, and Ally glanced at her. She picked out some fruits and veggies to make him food, and some salad fixings for herself. They wandered the store talking and giggling as she grabbed what she needed, pretending that she had not been again reminded of Eric's night with his queen. She had not discussed it with him last night, and she figured that neither of them wanted to ruin her first night home. Possibly ever. They finished the shopping and went back to the house, where Logan took a nap as she prepared his food in the fancy machine that Eric had insisted that she buy. He was eager to move past simple milk and try a lot of stuff, and she was taking full advantage. Ally chatted with her and let her eyes drift to the movie on the big screen television, and managed to sneak out as the sun was setting. Aislin grinned as she hugged her goodbye, aware of the timing as she looked at her sister's smile. She finished freezing the food she had made after the house was empty, and tried to determine how long Logan would be sleeping. She would pay for letting him nap late, but he had been excited at her late lunch and she knew Eric would watch him if she napped. She washed her hands and strolled back to the bedroom quietly, pulling her shirt off as she walked into the room. He was stretched out as he slept, and she slid her jeans off slowly as she stared at him with hungry eyes. Aislin crawled slowly towards him as she parted his legs under the sheet, and he stirred as she slid it down to take in his naked form. She watched him carefully, but he seemed to be comfortable with what she was doing to him. She took him into her hand gently, feeling his immediate response. He murmured something in his sleep and she lowered her mouth to him eagerly. His hands slid into her hair and he responded ever further as she slid her warm mouth over his desire, murmuring her name in between soft groans. She loved feeling his body twitching in her mouth and throat and took everything that he gave her eagerly, before she felt herself flipped onto her back onto the mattress. His eyes burned into her before he ripped off her remaining clothes and began to kiss her skin everywhere. They made love hard and quick, finishing as the baby started to fuss in his room.

"This is just the way I always want it." Eric said with a gleam in his eye, and kissed her as he sat up. "My beautiful mate and my son waiting for me." He pulled on some track pants and went to get Logan as she pulled some clothes back on. It was going to be awkward later when he was more aware of what they were up to at night. Eric carried him in freshly changed and sat down on the bed as she smiled at them. She reached for Logan and let him latch on as her eyes locked with Eric's. He gazed lovingly at her, letting his eyes drop down to the baby drinking from her. They fell into a pattern where she would do her human things during the day and spend time with him at night, before he went to the bar. She slowly pushed away her uncertainty about the future and them, and fell more in love with him as time passed. The release date for the CD was approaching, and the band planned a small show at the bar they had played so many times before. Everybody seemed involved, and Aislin was heard around the house practicing her vocals as her son and lover looked on with smiles on their faces. She practiced with Hannah and the band. Aislin was so excited to begin this part of her life, but she was loving her domestic life as well. It was always a bit nerve wracking to picture living on a tour bus away from Eric, but with her son. Leaving somebody like him was always so difficult.

The party was being planned by Hannah mostly. There would be catered food from their diner, and drink specials all night. They had friends to open for them and tons of merch was being prepared to sell. CD's were not available until the next day, but the show was a preview for it. Aislin visited Janelle and had her hair done a deep brown and a bright red to match Hannah's red, and did her friend's make up for old times sake. She had seen the denim skirt and bright white and orange shirt that Hannah had chosen and went with that. Her eyes looked like a bright sunset and her lips were a glossy coral, and she looked beautiful. Aislin was wearing a black skirt and a sequined tank in silver and black, and she did her own eyes in purple and a deep gray, with just a clear gloss. The band arrived at the venue early, with Matt watching Logan and grumbling about not coming, and took pictures together and with fans for their website. The sky darkened as they headed in, and Ally arrived with Eric a little while later. Pam was watching the bar and had talked to Aislin to wish her well earlier along with Matt, who demanded that somebody record it. Hannah greeted Eric, but Aislin noticed the way the guys seemed to pull away from the part of the room he was in. Aislin met his eyes as she chatted with a fan, and felt the usual rush of emotions they shared for each other as well as the heat he provoked all over her body. She excused herself after taking a photo and walked over to him with a slow smile on her face. He eyed her outfit that showed off the curved Logan had provided with a glint in his deep blue eyes, and she shivered under the hunger in it. Aislin slid her arms around his neck and have him much more of a chaste kiss than she wanted to, and smiled at him. "You look stunning." Eric told her, and she blushed.

"Thank you for coming." Aislin told him softly, and he stroked the small of her back gently.

"I enjoy watching you perform, lover. I am glad that you have this, despite it's misgivings." Eric assured her, and she heard them announce the opening band. She kissed him one more time and turned around to watch them with a grin on her face. Hannah came and stood by her, taking her hand as she looked at the happy couple. Eric kept his hand subtly on her waist as she moved to the great beat of her friends, and shook his head with a smile when she could not stand it and ran over to dance. They all headed back to get ready for their own stage entrance, and she felt her heart jumping as she moved out after Hannah went yelling onstage. They greeted the crowd and announced the CD and started into a new song right afterwards. Aislin felt great being onstage again and she sang powerfully with Hannah as the grinned at each other. She looked towards the back to see Eric's tall figure against a light on the back wall, and smiled as her eyes passed over the crowd. Ally was screaming in the front and she blew her sister a kiss as she burst into a high note. Aislin had kept up with her vocal coach every way that she could, and she felt good about her voice. The set seemed to be over in a moment, and she was waving and thanking the crowd before Hannah announced the pre sale on the CD on the website that night. They left the stage and hugged each other excitedly, and then went to greet the crowd again.

Aislin made her way to her vampire after she was done with the fans, and nestled into his arms. She needed him after such an emotional event, and his love and admiration flowed freely through the bond and made her smile. "I love you." Aislin whispered to him, and he murmured it back in her ear. She said her goodbyes to the band, and left with Ally and Eric. She left them at his house and went to pick up Logan, driving him home asleep as she reflected on the evening. He woke up as she brought him into the house, and she grabbed a blanket to feed him. Matt had fed him dinner that night and Logan just needed some milk before playing a little and falling asleep again. She sat on the couch and watched Eric play with him with a dreamy smile on her face. Everything felt so perfect at that moment to her, and she bit her lip as she met his meaningful gaze across the room.
