I don't own any True Blood characters. I just twist them around for my own pleasure.

Carli woke up to the alarm the next morning, and leaned over to shut the phone off before nestling into Eric's arms again. He kissed her hair and she brushed her lips against his warm skin as he slid a hand into her hair. His flight was a few hours from then and she sighed at the idea. They were going to the studio together and he would leave from there and she lifted her head up to rest her chin on his stomach. He opened his eyes slowly to gaze into her face and she reached up to touch his lips. "Do you have to leave me?"

"Yes, I do have a company to run. Come home with me, lover." Eric told her, and she smiled. "Are you sure you do not want to be a stay at home kind of girl? I would take very good care of you."

"I have never wanted that!" Carli said, laughing. "I am sort of addicted to music."

"As well you should be. You are good at it." Eric said, and she tilted her head and rested it on him. "So I would love to make love to you before I pack and we shower. You?"

"I could be talked into that, I think." Carli agreed, and slid up his body. She felt him harden as she brushed against him and she smiled as she leaned down to kiss his lips softly. She moved her lips to his neck and bit gently as he gripped her hips tightly. He was fully erect now and she felt him press against her wet clit, and she slowly dragged herself over him as he groaned. He slid one hand up to cup her breast tightly and she cried out, jerkily moving so her was pressing against her wet opening. She slid over him and moaned as he filled her and stretched her, and slowed to let herself adjust him. She felt him start to thrust into her, and she matched his rhythm as she moaned with every movement. She felt him flip her over and she slid her feet up to his shoulders as he drove himself deeply inside of her. His damp skin slapped against hers with the force of it, and she gripped the sheets tightly. She clenched her teeth as she came hard and tried not to scream his name as he relentlessly fucked her tightening pussy. He could only hold out so long and came himself and she pinched her eyes shut bas he made the final thrust count. "Holy shit."

"Yeah." Eric agreed, his blue eyes swimming with various shades of blue as he looked at her. "Tonight is going to be so lonely without you."

"Am I the only one you want?" Carli asked, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Why do you ask me that?" Eric said, and sat up to sit on the bed. "How much will it take for you to put all of that in the past? You're fucking beautiful and I love you."

"I don't want anyone else. I want us both to feel that way." Carli said, and he glanced at her as he stood and went into the bathroom. She stood and walked to the door and crossed her arms as she stared at him.

"I don't want you to want anyone else, Carli. I would not have told you that I love you if that were the case." She remembered his subtle suggestion about Pam, and looked at him quietly. He turned and flipped on the hot water, and stepped in after grabbing a towel. She sighed and leaned her head against the door frame. "Join me?"

"Really?" Carli asked, and heard his muffled reply. She stepped in and looked at him as he shampooed his hair. She let her eyes trail down his muscular torso and rest in his half hard cock as the water dripped off of him, and she pressed her lips together as she sucked in her breath.

"How can someone like you be insecure at all?" Eric asked her, and she raised her eyes to his face.

"I just am. Most girls are on some level." Carli told him, stepping towards him and sliding her hands through his hair to cover his hands. "Let me." She massaged his scalp and watched as his eyes closed in pleasure, then soaped up his body and washed him slowly and teasingly. He grew harder as she slid her fingers up his thighs and then scraped down, and she slid her hand around it tightly. "Ready again so soon?"

"Does this convey what you do to me?"

"Yes, something along those lines." Carli replied, moving to her knees to draw him into her mouth. They maneuvered themselves somehow in the small shower enough to make love again, with her riding him as the water dripped over her. He washed her off afterwards and she brushed her hair before pulling on some jeans and a hoodie as he packed his things. They left in time to get some coffee and breakfast for everybody and then he drove them to the studio.

Eric gazed at the ruined buildings on the road silently, and shook his head. The death toll was up to 75, and there was a small blessing that it had been the lunch hour and a lot of people were out of their buildings. "God, Carli. Another few blocks and you would be dead." His eyes met hers, and she saw the emotions in them. The street was quiet, with the few businesses attempting to keep going around the tragedy. Carli idly wondered where Pam's girlfriend had been, and she focused on her pain for a second. She knew that Pam needed somebody right now, and she vowed to see her that evening. She could set aside her issues and be supportive.

"Hey, guys." Troy greeted them and the couple glanced his way. Viv followed, and the girls laughed as they realized they both had coffee in a tray. All four of them looked around and the girls exchanged glances before they slipped inside of the building. They ate the breakfast sandwiches and sipped the coffee, before Troy figured out where they were at. He started recording his part again, and Eric held Carli's hand as they listened. She got up to do hers, and she stared at Eric as she started to sing the words. Carli closed her eyes and felt the emotions from the day of the explosion and threw them into the song, and took a deep breath as she finished. She opened her eyes and saw Eric staring at her, and she took off her headphones to glance at Troy. He gave her a thumbs up and she moved on to the chorus, and happily accepted the bottle of water that Viv offered to her with a grin. Troy thought it sounded great, and would know for sure the next day. He hugged Carli tightly to thank her and she smiled, and glanced at Eric. She could tell by his face that he had to leave, and she walked over to him as she pouted. He walked her to the door and stared at her as they stood in the hallway.

"You sounded amazing, It is going to be a great song, lover." Eric murmured to her, and she smiled as she stood up to kiss him. He breathed in as they both felt the sparks shoot between them, and he slid his hand into her hair. "I love you."

"I will be home soon." Carli whispered, and he kissed her again. "I love you \, Eric." He left to drive the rental to the airport, and she stood behind the closed door for a second by herself. She walked back in and sat down by Viv, who looked at her with big eyes.

"You guys looked so in love just then." Viv told her, and frowned slightly. "How do you spend time away from him at all successfully?"

"It is so new that I don't even know." Carli replied, realizing how much she had missed him during their time apart. They touched up a few more parts of the song and were done for the day, and the three walked outside. Troy took her back to the hotel after a quick lunch and promised her he would let her know about her going home soon, after she said she had plans with a friend. She called Pam, since Eric had put the number into her phone, and the woman seemed grateful to hear from her. It surprised Carli when Pam wanted to get out of the house, and she found herself in a restaurant in a black silk dress across from her a few hours later. They ordered drinks and Carli looked at Pam. The blond looked a little better with her hair straight down her back and some make up on, but the pain still showed in her dull eyes. She sipped her drink and Carli reached across the table and covered her hand. "How are you holding up?"

"Liz's family is coming in a couple of days to help with the…funeral plans. Being so new in her life, I really don't feel like I have much say. I was only here two months." Pam's voice was a little shaky, and she looked up at Carli. "Part of me feels like leaving and returning for my things after they are gone."

"Come to New York. I have an extra room, as well as….Eric." Carli said, and glanced down.

"Did he ever tell you what happened?" Pam asked her, and Carli shrugged. Pam's eyes were dark and Carli stared at her.

"I just know that you slept together." The restaurant was crowded and loud, and Carli glanced around, thankful for that fact.

"We need to talk later." Pam said softly, and it was her turn to hold Carli's hand as she stroked it gently. "Maybe I will come to New York to escape. I don't know right now." They ordered dinner and talked of other things as they ate, and Carli was feeling a little better as they left. They talked about what to do next and then Pam stopped and stared at something as tears filled her eyes. Carli followed her gaze and saw a store with a TV showing footage from the explosion, and she bit her lip. It affected her as well, but nowhere near what Pam was going through.

"Come on, Pam." Carli told her, sliding her arm around her and bringing her away from the window of the store. She walked her back to Pam's apartment, where the woman cried harder.

"I'm sorry." Pam apologized, as she sat next to Carli on the couch. "I feel better sometimes, and then it hits again."

"It's alright, Pam." Carli told her, and reached out to stroke her hair. "I am just not used to this. I am used to the meaner you."

"I have been a bit snarky towards you. I am sorry. You are here for me now, and back with Eric." Pam said, looking at Carli as she leaned her head on the couch. "I was that way because I wanted you so badly back then, and I knew that he was getting you. I could not help but touch you that night when I saw you with him on the balcony. I was watching him undress you and I had to see you closer, and then I had to touch you. I expected you to fight me, or even him, but you were so wet and ready to be touched. " Carli shivered slightly as she remembered the night, and she blushed under Pam's gaze. "You did taste good. I didn't lie about that but I was a bitch to you about it. I enjoyed watching you when I was tasting you. I also enjoyed watching him fuck you afterwards, and the way you are together." Carli knew that she was heating up, and she struggled to breath for a moment. Her body ached slightly and she could feel her the moisture between her legs, and she leaned back. Pam reached out and turned her face towards her own, and Carli met her eyes. "I didn't enjoy the night with Eric, or hours as it were. He fucked everyone after you as a punishment for not being you. I am sure the girls that happened to meet him thought they were hitting the jackpot and didn't realize right away, but they all left him. They all stopped it, or he would as he moved on to punish somebody else." Carli felt tears in her eyes, and Pam stroked her cheek. "I know him well, and I had seen him broken for quite some time. We had been arguing heatedly about the business and his shitty attitude, and he looked at me in a different way. He pushed me into the wall and kissed me, and I was surprised but figured I could see what all the fuss was about if nothing else. He didn't take long to take me to his room and I was very surprised when he just started to fuck me." Pam spoke and Carli blinked as her tears continued. "There was no kind of foreplay or tenderness. It was hard and painful. I knew that he was punishing me for your leaving him, as well as punishing himself. I stopped him before he really did some damage and left that night, and moved here a short while after meeting Liz on a visit. I never want to get anywhere near him again, trust me. I like women and he did nothing but ensure that, Carli. He was awful." She moved closer to Carli and stroked her hair. "But with you, he is different. He is passionate and eager, and he wants your entire body before he takes you. I am sure you have had more orgasms from foreplay than sex as I was seeing that night." Pam smiled bitterly. "I thought I might get that Eric." She stroked Carli's hair and Carli looked at her silently, knowing that the pain was evident in her eyes. "Don't worry about his time away from you. He is living with a lot of regret from it, but it is enough that he may never act that way again. He is with you again and that is where he wants to be." Pam's hand slipped down to brush Carli's breast that pressed against the scoop neck of her dress, and Carli heard a sound from her mouth. "I miss touching. I miss comfort. I have felt so alone."

"You're not." Carli said, feeling a weight lift knowing the truth. It hurt knowing that he had been that way, but it was hard to envy that kind of situation. Her desire ebbed just below the surface at the idea of his passion with her, and she slid her hand back into Pam's hair. Her desire jumped as she looked into Pam's eyes and saw the raw need in them, and she found herself moving closer to her. She remembered the feeling of Pam's fingers against her clit and touching her breast, and she pressed her lips to Pam's gently. She tasted the gloss that Pam wore, and she felt Pam slide an arm around her. She felt Pam claim her lips again and she felt the softness and fullness of them as she tightened her hand in her blonde hair. They seemed to deepen it at the same time, and Pam's tongue met Carli's as she moaned gently against her. Carli tightened deep inside and she felt Pam's hand pulling her closer in her hair and the other sliding down to her lower back. Carli gasped and pulled away, and Pam stroked her hair soothingly. "I don't know what to do here. I don't know if this if right."

"Eric knew I wanted to touch someone I knew, someone that I wanted. I don't have it in me to go to a stranger after losing Liz, and I feel better here with you." Pam told her, and Carli looked at her. "I asked him if I could have you tonight, and just tonight. I know that he is yours and that you are certainly his. I will not be rude about it and I will not make you feel badly about it. He specified that you reacted badly to the last time and insisted I mind your comfort level. I just need the warmth of someone I know and trust more and more. I have also fantasized about you since that first night, to be honest." Pam smiled at her and Carli still saw the need that remained behind the smile. "It would bring me happiness and comfort for the time you are here. It is so hard to not be my normal self and feel so broken."

Carli hesitated as she started to slide her hand down Pam's neck, and she looked at her. "Kiss me again. Kiss me, Pam." The woman leaned in and complied, and Carli pulled her closer with both hands. She didn't want to think about right or wrong, and she had to admit that Pam was a very good kisser. They separated to open a bottle of wine, and Carli wandered around the expansive apartment and looked here and there on her break. There were pictures of Liz and Pam scattered about, and Carli looked at the beautiful brunette. She had the deepest brown eyes and full lips and a warm smile, and her and Pam looked happy together. Carli could see why she had been a model. She heard the footsteps behind her, and she glanced back at Pam's sad face. "She was so gorgeous. A beautiful brunette and a beautiful blonde."

"She was. She was the best thing that ever happened to me." Pam said softly, and stared at the picture. Pam slid her arms around Carli as she sipped her wine. It was her second glass and she was starting to calm down and think that this didn't have to happen. "Liz tasted a lot like you." Carli choked on her sip of wine as Pam pulled her closer to her.

"She did?" Carli asked, and felt Pam pull back and unzip her dress. "Pam….."

"Did you like what I did that night?" Pam asked her, and Carli closed her eyes.

"I did." Carli admitted, as her body tightened again. "I don't know what I can do for you though. I don't know much."

"You are a woman and you know what you like. I know what you like." Pam said, and slid the dress off of Carli's shoulders to reveal the black thong and matching bra. She took her hand and pulled her to the bedroom, and Carli sat on the bed nervously. Pam looked at her, and Carli held out her hand to her. She pulled Pam to her and scooted back to give her room, and Pam looked her over as she moved closer to her. She slid her legs over Carli's and moved close to kiss her, and Carli was surprised at the tenderness of it. Their lips met in a rising frenzy as both women began to feel the need, and Carli could no longer separate Pam's from her own. She cried out as Pam unhooked her bra and drew her nipple between her lips, and she moved her hands down to lift the hem of her red dress hastily. She pulled it over Pam's head and took in her cream bra and thong, and their eyes met as they kissed each other again. Pam squeezed her breasts as Carli hesitantly unhooked her bra and pulled it back. She slid her hands over the full breasts and hard nipples slowly, going with her instinct and squeezing the large nipples between her fingers. She had always longed for fuller breasts, feeling that hers were too small. Eric always assured her that was not the case, and Pam seemed to like them a lot too as she dipped her mouth back down to kiss them again. Carli moved back against the pillows as Pam slid over her, and she pulled her closer as she felt her nipple between teeth. She could feel the desire pooling into her thong and she parted her legs and moaned softly as she moistened further. Pam moved to her knees, and Carli felt her fingertips brushing the inside of her leg and up to her thigh. She bit her lip as the fingers slid over the material and teased her, and she looked up at Pam in the dim light of the bedroom. "All of this for me?"

"Touch me." Carli whispered, and Pam slid her fingers deftly under the cloth to Carli's waiting clit. The touch burned her skin and Pam expertly circled her center with a quickening pace as Carli moaned. Carli bucked forward as she felt a finger slide into her and she reached up to cup Pam's breasts tightly as she felt the pressure building inside of her. She came hard and fast, and pulled Pam down to her so that she could take her nipple into her mouth. Carli was rewarded with one long moan and she slid her hands down to trace Pam's ass as she bit down gently. The blonde was toned and smooth and Carli wondered of she was wet as well, and she flipped her onto her back clumsily. She stared down her body and slid her hand slowly over her panties, and Pam's eyes begged her not to stop. They were wet and clung to her folds, and Carli stroked her as she heard her cry in response. She slid her hand down the front of them and used one finger to trace her small clit, up and down and in circles. She was wet and warm, and she writhed under Carli as she yipped and moaned. Carli smiled as she slid her hand down to insert a finger into her and Pam came against her, tightening around her as she bucked her hips forward. Carli liked it and returned to her clit and sent Pam into another frenzy as she teased her.

"You would me an amazing lesbian." Pam breathed, and Carli smiled. "Fuck your not knowing what to do."

"I don't know what to do now." Carli said softly, and Pam smiled at her.

"I want to do to you now. On your back." Pam told her, and Carli complied and watched as Pam spread her legs far apart and dove in. Her tongue stroked Carli slowly and she moaned as she slid her hands into Pam's hair. Her lips sucked her inside and against her teeth, and Carli cried out fiercely as she struggled through the pleasure. Carli came against her mouth as she licked, sucked, and even probed her tongue inside of her and it rocked through her. Pam kissed her stomach gently as Carli relaxed quietly and Carli felt her eyes on her.

"I don't know if I can do that back." Carli said to her, and sighed happily. "I could never top that."

"You're just fine." Pam assured her, and rolled to her back. She drew Carli's hand back between her legs and Carli stroked her as they lay together, and finally Carli rose and moved between her legs. She tested with the tip of her tongue and the taste was hot and a bit sweet, and she stroked harder. She soon had Pam crying out and shaking against her as she rocked through her own orgasm. They rested together on the bed and Pam drew her in for a deep kiss. Their tastes combined and Carli ate it up. "Stay with me. I like holding you." Pam said in the darkness, and Carli snuggled against her. Eric flitted through her mind and she smiled, hoping this was OK. It seemed to be a vicious circle of sex, but she let the sleep take her over anyway.

They woke in the morning, and Carli looked at her. "Morning."

"Any regrets?" Pam asked her, stroking back her hair.

"No. It was very good, and you are very good." Carli told her, and Pam kissed her lips gently.

"Imagine the sex you will have in a couple of days with your man when he asks you for the details." Pam giggled, and Carli looked at her.

"Will he?"

"Eric is a man and they all have their fantasies." Pam told her, and they laughed. They got up and went out to breakfast and then Carli took the phone call releasing her from LA. She scheduled a flight for that night and looked at Pam at the airport. They hugged and Pam thanked her, promising to come to New York soon. Carli boarded her plane and napped lightly all the way home, tired from the long week. She was thankful for the lack of recognition on the flight, and she put her ear buds in and just closed her eyes. Her life was going somewhere that she had never expected, but it was not entirely uncomfortable. It was experience and it was a song at some point. She thought of Eric waiting for her in New York and smiled, wondering how things would really play out once he knew everything. She knew that she just wanted to be in his arms when she stepped off of the plane, and later that night.

This chapter was quite something. Perhaps I have a Pam fantasy or something? J Or I just want Carli to live a little and perhaps complicate her life more than it already was…

Your thoughts are much appreciated! Thanks for the random adds on this one. I appreciate it.
