Chapter fifty-one
Eric's POV
"Lover, your protectors are here" I call out to Sookie as I allow in the shifter and Fae. When I say Fae, I mean Fae. There seems to be two of them, I wonder how Nial managed to get two Fairies to us; I'm sure there is only one portal that is open, and even then, according to him, it is still difficult to get through. Maybe these two are living in this world and therefore can get easy access around this place. That would explain a lot, there are still Fairies living amongst us after all. The only thing I can be thankful for here is that they have learned to mask their Fae scent; it will help let me stay in control so I don't drain the little runts.
"Nial has taught you how to mask your scent well" I comment just as Sookie comes into the room where she instantly runs over to the Shifter who she embraces.
"I've missed you, Sam! It's been a long time, especially since I quit my job at Merlotte's and moved over here. But enough about that, it really is good to see you" Sookie smiles at him, he smiles straight back as he places a light kiss to her cheek. I felt my fists clench at the display before me, I actually have to control my temper so that I don't rip his testicles off and shove them down his throat. She. Is. mine! I instantly chastise myself for my possessiveness over her, she would never cheat on me; she loves me, she is carrying my children and we are to be wed. She wouldn't do such a thing and I should learn not to be so jealous and untrusting of her male friends. I know plenty of females; I can only imagine what type of jealousy Sookie goes through. Not to mention the human females who I have fucked and fed form in the past, she would hear and maybe even see their every thought about me. That must destroy her. I note to myself then that I should take Sookie out somewhere nice when this all over, not to mention buy her a present for being such an understanding bonded.
"You must be Sookie, I'm Claudine and this is my twin brother Claude. We're your cousins in a way" the female Fairy announces, Sookie's eyes widening at this new revelation. Interesting. Nial didn't mention anything about sending Fae cousins to help protect Sookie.
"Wow…um…I guess it's good to meet you" Sookie gives them both an awkward hug. This is her first time interacting with Fae, they are very touchy feely, something she will soon find out.
"Lover, I must leave now. But I promise to come back to you as soon as possible" I tell Sookie before kissing her lightly, a little something to remind her of me while I am gone. I cannot guarantee when I will be back home; I could be back tonight, or in a few days or even in a week's time. Not that I have told Sookie that, I don't wish to worry my Lover. But I am hoping that I will be back either tonight or tomorrow night, maybe even very early hours of tomorrow morning.
After all, the fucking Fairy that hurt her has been contained; only after a witch placed a spell in the basement so that he couldn't get out of there and he had been severely drained so that he is weak, but still alive nonetheless. I think I owe Pam some new shoes for all of her hard work. Originally my plan was to ambush the sleazy cunt and then kill him once I had hold of him, but then I figured if I got him in my basement I could have some fun with him first. Then I could drain him some and then fully kill him. No harm done really, plus Pam got out without a scratch; so he obviously isn't that good in combat. Catching and killing him would have been too easy, this way I can actually spend some time finding out why he did this to Sookie and how he even knew about her. I also want to slice off each of his limbs in turn for every lie he tells me.
With that I give Sookie one last kiss and hug before leaving my home and shooting to the sky. It is a good thing I closed Fangtasia tonight, this means I will have no interruptions while I am at work. At least, I hope not. I guess the bright side to this is that my Lover has 3 Supe's watching over her, she has the ultimate amount of protection, although maybe I should send Pam over for good measure. After all, Sookie does need help planning for the wedding, what with it being in about 3 weeks' time. I wonder what dress she will be wearing, better yet; I wonder what under things she will be wearing. No, I should not allow myself to become distracted. Especially not when I am about to confront the man who hurt my Sookie.
I whip my phone out and call Pam, knowing that she will be over the moon with the chance to plan our wedding.
"Master" Pam greets, sounding rather distracted. Ah, she is fucking and feeding; well, that's if I go by the pleads in the background. It sounds as if Pam's companion is begging her to come back to bed and lick her out again. Not quite the image I wanted in my head, but I soon push it away before my mind can become distracted. I could just imagine Sookie begging me to come back to bed and lick her out again. My Lover does taste delicious.
"Pamela, thank you for securing my little friend and leaving him at Fangtasia for me. I will be sending you some expensive shoes to make up for your trouble, plus it is kind of a reward for all your hard work" I begin, trying to soften her up a bit.
She definitely won't take being dragged away from her fuck and feed to help plan a wedding as being very good.
"Thank you, Eric; I appreciate the gesture. Now what is the real reason you phoned me on my day off?" ah, she knows me too well. I could never pull the wool over her eyes; actually, I could if I put the effort into it. But right now I could not care to try pulling wool over her eye – whatever that saying is supposed to mean.
"Now that you mention it, I would like you to go over to my new home and assist Sookie in planning the wedding. She is panicking, Pamela. We have decided to get married in about 3 weeks' time, but she is stressing over trying to organise it all in such a short amount of time. As you already know, stress is bad for my unborn children, so if you would like to assist her and earn more shoes or expensive clothing, please do. Plus, I know how skilled you are at organising things in such a short amount of time" I compliment her, trying to lure her into doing it. I think she may be buying it.
"Eric, you actually didn't have to go in to such lovely compliments and guilt trips as well as bribery. I will happily help plan your wedding, after all, it does go all on your credit card" I could hear her smirking over the phone, making me frown.
"No, Pamela, it won't. You will use the cash card I have left with Sookie, that there has the budget for the entire wedding. The hotel room and plane flights I will organise, therefore I have the money for them. Plus there is a small box in the safe in my home where there will be some money for Sookie's dress, and Sookie's dress alone" I warn her, I could hear her getting changed in the background while she jots things down on a piece of paper. Probably ideas for the wedding.
"And what exactly is the budget for this wedding and how much is there for Sookie's dress? Just so I know what I am working with" Pam clarifies. I couldn't help but chuckle at how keen she is.
"There is $50,000 on there for the wedding, but if you do need more please let me know, and if there is anything left, put it towards Sookie's dress. I have plenty of money, as you already know, so I am willing to spend every single cent of it on this wedding; I just want Sookie to be happy and I want her to enjoy her big day. As for the dress, well there is about $3,000 in the safe, but same applies there. If you need more money for the dress Sookie wants, just let me know. And what is left over put towards the Venue. I want everything to be perfect Pam, so don't go overboard with the decorations and make sure that Sookie actually gets a look in on her own wedding. You can't just plan everything, especially if Sookie does not like it" I point out.
"Yes, Eric. I promise not to make your wedding look like something a five year old has designed, and by the way, you have gave us quite enough money to work with, Sookie will not be happy with the amount. You know what she's like. Anyway,there will most likely be plenty left over, and if there is I will pass it back to you so that you can spend it all on Sookie; buy her a beautiful wedding ring, Eric. Like you said, she deserves everything. I have never seen you so happy, Master. And if she is what makes you like this, then I think I need to work my magic so that you can have a romantic wedding day. Just spare me the details about your wedding night and honeymoon; that is, if you have decided where your honeymoon is going to take place" Pam notes as she thinks thoughtfully.
"We will spend a week in a country that has the darkest and longest nights, and then I will take her to several other countries. I want everything to be perfect for her, if I could give her the world, I would"
"You sound like a pussy whipped bastard. God, she has you wrapped around her little finger" and with that Pam hangs up, leaving me there baffled. She is right though, Sookie does have me 'pussy whipped' as Pam likes to say and she does have me wrapped around her little finger. As to whether that is a good thing or not, I am still indecisive. But that is a thought for later; right now it is time I went to go pay a little visit to my hostage.
