His View Pt. 3
He Can Feel It

Eric had never been one for pity, but the hunger through their bond he had created coming from her, he couldn't help but allow his Viking self seep in his mind a little. The fact was the blood had only soothed her for a little bit, and now… now she was feeling the hunger worse than before. He didn't like that he could feel such a thing coming from her. It bugged him even more it was bringing a response from him. Possibly because of all the time they spent together.

Slowly he looked to the side then back ahead at the road as he was approaching his home. The sound of the radio only a dull thrum over his hearing as he let his thoughts envelope him again. He suppose it was his job as her 'owner' of sorts to take care of her needs. She would be healthier if he did as well… At least that's what he read. He felt like a first time dog owner of the modern day. Getting books on the caring of his new pup and training manuals… only his books were just checked out for the trip to Dallas.

And they were by no means care guides, they were simply telling him what he was going to be working with… and he knew enough about her character to sense when something was wrong or not. If she wouldn't tell him her body told him all he needed to know. He DID pay attention to her when she was in hysterics of all things after all…

Slowly he shut his eyes in thought before letting out a very low breath pulling into Red Springs. He could feel how she felt she was going to go insane, he could sense that she was so confused and was frightened. It was stirring his Viking again and it demanded, quite loudly in his instincts to go to the female immediately.

He of course being the vampire he was, ignored it in partial shame that it would even be able to arise so quickly. It almost made him chuckle as he compared what the girl did to his Viking side compared to what Sookie did to him in general.

Kylie arose his Viking and snarled for him to take the girl and dominate her. Show her who was lord and master of the house and why she should obey him and only him. It also demanded he get rid of the elder incubus and teach the little wench himself. It had been all to satisfied the night he had her sleep in the coffin with him. Small, and feisty but also vulnerable and angry. It was a cocktail the Viking enjoyed.

Sookie Stackhouse enthralled the vampire, she refused him so many times that it was like waving a string in front of a cat. He was considering very much that going after it would end in his favor. And he had a plan for it too… carrying out though was the tricky part. He still couldn't find a situation in which she would drink his blood willingly. Not thinking too much about it for the time being, as when the opportunity came forth he would see it, he concentrated mainly on the creature that was on the other side of one of his stronger bonds.

He could feel as something close to fear and pain were swirling in her mind and frowned once he pulled into his parking garage. Getting out of his car and ordering Imeal once in the house to retrieve them as he was heading upstairs. His eyes lidded and his lips a simple line though he wouldn't say that he was almost interested to see how she was fairing. Quietly he approached her room and opened the door, seeing just how small it was. It had been a closet that Imeal had emptied out. Really he never used it so it seemed suitable. Staring quietly at her he moved forward to see she had stripped herself of her clothing down to her bra and underwear and she was completely soaked in sweat.

He made sure to keep the lights off as he continued to stare over her form before looking off at the window that revealed it was getting closer and closer to dawn. Looking back down at her he watched her let out a groan, her lips pulled back in a grimace baring her teeth which were gritted together. No doubt that was what was bothering her again. Her teeth seemed to be an irritable spot.

Where was Hanska? Looking to the corner he blinked to see the fourth incubus wasn't in much better condition. He was gasping lightly and his lips were pulled back in a similar matter. He questioned out loud how long the man went, at the small sound of the Indian, Eric immediately took note that he was slightly out of it but still a little bit coherent.

"It's not me." Was the growl, he tilted his head, "It's her." He beckoned it to Kylie who had rolled with her back to them both pulling into a ball. The vulnerable little beast a little to much for him making the Viking in him lunge forward to take control. He held it back with relative ease, at least for the moment anyways.

It seemed that Hanska's own empathic ability was coming back to bite him… and while Eric had a very good idea of how intense her hunger was, given he himself could feel it, he had the idea that the Indian hadn't had any in a while either. Adding to his own hunger.

The vampire almost sighed, as he wasn't one to give a pity fuck nor was he one to simply screw something that was in desperate need of it. He could almost hear a verbal, angry, "COME ON ALREADY!" From the Viking which was just aching for this female. A fact he wasn't to particularly happy with but at the same time didn't really mind.

Slowly he considered his options.

He brought a male in for her to take the sexual energy from in his sleep.

2. He himself allowed her to sleep in his bed again, and once he was asleep, allowed her to take the sexual energy from him after he of course drunk her blood so the energy would be there.

3. He waited it out and saw what happened.

Or of course four. He did nothing and went to bed. With it being so close to dawn, one was out of the question while 2-4 seemed the more likely courses of action. He had heard bits of their conversation when Hanska had spoken to her in his office, her blood would get sweeter with the loss of her virginity, but at the same time, if he was asleep and it was in their dreams…

Would she still remain pure?

Was he really willing to risk it? Drinking her blood would allow him to stay alive if she fed off him in such a fashion. And her drinking from him would make her healthier than she had been. She had been almost relieved when she had drunk his blood… so perhaps…

Troublesome female. He grumbled in his head lightly, a bit of the Viking seeping through into his mind again making him almost twitch before shutting his eyes and sighing. Grasping her under the back and supporting it, then holding her under the legs he turned and began out the room. Murmuring to Hanska on the way, "Get some sleep."

He seems almost relieved. He noted amusedly as the Indian all but fell to the floor in relief. Carrying Kylie to his chest he moved up a third set of stairs that led to a pair of huge oak double doors. Opening them, he then stood in a narrow passage that had another wall not five feet in front of him. The doors that he was facing now were large metal ones. He had vents that allowed air in but other than that his room was completely sealed. He wasn't going to risk sunlight exposure, but he wasn't particularly fond of sleeping into a coffin. So in essence, he had made his room to be a room, inside another room.

Opening the second pair of doors, (which doing so required punching in a code) he watched them open with a hiss before entering the crimson red room. His room composed of a large sleeping area, complete with a good size flat screen plasma T.V. on the wall 10 feet in front of his king size bed, a couch to the left of that bed, and a refrigerator with many blood packs as needed stocked into it at any time.

He also held a bathroom, but that was for bathing (which he had a large tub that was big enough for four for) and on the occasion, the very rare occasion he shared his room with a mortal, a toilet. Explaining how you pissed out blood on occasion was not a very nice thing to do after all.

So the moral thing was his excuse. Slowly he set Kylie down on his bed, staring over her for moving quietly away. He knew she wasn't going anywhere so he didn't bother being quick or cautious as he heard the doors close and began to pull off his clothing.

Once he was down to his, no pun intended, birthday suit, he turned back to his bed. The sheets of it were actually animal pelts with silk under them. He couldn't help but let the Viking win on that factor, as nothing felt quite as wonderful as animal fur on the bare skin. He had yet to grow tired of the feeling, as laying on the silk with it was also a wonderful contrast.

She seemed to be enjoying it too, as her form had sprawled out on it instead of the curled measly ball she had been before hand. Crawling up onto the slippery fabric he moved so his hands were planted on both sides of her underneath her arms and looked down at her. Her eyes were shut tightly, her chest rising and falling rapidly with each pant.

She had burn through his blood so fast it was almost commendable. His mouth came down lightly to her neck where he felt her pulse rapidly pounding through it with his tongue. He smiled to himself before his fangs extended and he let them immediately slide into the fleshy mass beneath them. The warm liquid hit his tongue and he swore for a moment, he was on fire.

She would definitely be a very good product once they had time to get the blood out of her. Perhaps in Dallas he would be able to sell a little of it. Quietly he let his tongue come and lap at the small creature's life essence as he grasped her back of head lightly. Tilting her head back to expose her more he dug his teeth in again.

Bitter… he knew he didn't like that part and it bugged him, bitter wasn't something a vampire really enjoyed unless they had an odd taste. Even the Viking of him didn't like it, as mead was always sweet to him. He let his hand rest down on her side as he heard something with the equivalence to a keen exit her. Her breathing wasn't as hard any more, the blood that had been rushing through her in her needy fit was slowing down with her heart.

If he had one still beating, it would be pounding right now though. He felt himself become aroused and shut his eyes. This blood of hers would definitely sell high. Letting his arms wrap around her, he lifted her asleep form up and against his own to lick up the rest that had come out before he nipped his lip and kissed her own. Once a few drops dripped inside he laid her back down, coaxing her throat to swallow as he rubbed it quietly.

Soon the bleeding in her neck stopped, he smiled as none of it managed to get onto the pelts and laid down across them before pulling himself underneath them. He pulled her to him, the warm a great contrast to his cool just as the silk was to the fur. And his head buried into her neck as he opened an eye lightly feeling that intense hunger in her mind as she slept still.

Him drinking her blood did little to cool it down, but he supposed it was okay as she was all to tensed against him. He thought if she was awake she may have jumped him all together, and he knew by no means was it attraction to him… well at least not willing attraction. His eyes became lidded as he sensed the sun getting closer and closer to rising, and let out a low breath as he kissed the bite mark on her neck. It would be gone by the time they woke up, but for now it would be quite visible. He liked it, sort of reminding him of a thrall's collar back in his younger days.

He threw the Viking back as it was attempting to seep fully into him. It wanted to be the dominant personality in this dream he guessed he was going to have, but for the moment he wanted control…. Maybe later, but for now, he would decide.

Shutting his eyes, he began to think of the finances this little cretin was managing out of him. And all to easily he fell asleep.

A/N: Alright, so next chapter will be a little steamy, no doubt. But it will still be the bloody Dallas chapter. So enjoy this teasing little bastard till then! I got an English paper to do and I hope to have it completed by tomorrow, as well as an idea coming up in another category. But never the less this story will be continued. So don't worry! See ya next chapter!
