Sequel to "Pour Some Sugar On Me". Sookie and Eric come to terms with their new relationship. Very romantic, with more action in second half. Told from multiple POV's. Rated M for mature situations. Eric/Sookie/Bill/Pam

Everything I had done in my life seemed to lead up to this moment. The moment when I found myself bound inextricably to a man I didn’t love, trapped in a life I didn’t want. And if I left him, I would be entirely alone.

By pretending she is falling for Edward, Bella is fulfilling Esme's dying wish. But sexy, possessive Edward can read her mind. Will she ever get into his? Can Bella forget the pain of her teenage years, and can she resist his relentless seduction? AH.

This is an AU/AH fic, inspired by some late night ficleting is that a word? over at the Sookieverse. Professor Northman teaches English at a distinguished liberal arts college. Sookie Stackhouse is an English major. Yeah, you know it's wrong.

One night while Sookie is bar hopping with some friends on the Lower East of New York City she runs into, literally, a towering mystery of a man. AU - AH. Eric/Sookie

Edward is back in Forks, but something is very wrong. He's not the same as he used to be. "I feel like a savage, Bella. I'm trapped inside a body I can't control." ExB: lemons. dark/mature themes. vampires. OOC. "That's right, sweetheart. Scream my name."

Takes place immediately following the short story in W&M - spoilers for books 1-8. LA has a new King, things with Eric are as yet unresolved, and new dangers lurk around the corner for Sookie. She's always been lucky, but is her luck about to run out?
