Disclaimer: Same as the first chapters.

A/N: I realize that the Vampiress Amelia doesn't give Eric much of a description so I'm using my personal preference and imagination. I'll always look at Eric as a son for Jaguar. So he's tall, tan, with blue black hair that reaches his shoulders but he often keeps it pulled back. And startling eagle gold eyes. This is rated M for a reason okay kiddies. This is leading up to the sex scene which should be out by the next chapter...depending on my mood.

Chapter Six: The After Party

Eric had concealed his surprise when she told him that she would think about it. He told her to have her answer by tomorrow morning before he went to bed. Blair was left in her room with a young female slave to help her with getting ready, Eric had said he would be back to pick her up promptly at 11 pm.

The hair came first. The girl, who couldn't have been older than fourteen rolled the auburn locks into a mass of tamed waves and pulled half of them up leaving some of them to fall around her shoulders and to her back. Then the makeup. They didn't put much on, silver eyeshadow and a peach shimmer blush with some gloss. Last came the dress and such. The pretty shoes weren't unbearable. She looked at herself in the mirror for a while and then turned to thank the girl to find her already gone.

A knock at the door sounded and she slided to it wincing at the sound the heels made. Eric stood outside the door wearing nothing but silk midnight blue pants which seemed to have a mind of their own and clung in some places but flared our in others. His tanned chest was exposed and hard with muscles. He was dressed like Jaguar. "Why do you get to be comfortable and I have to wear this?" She hissed with venom. Offering her his arm he replied "Because I am Jaguar's fledgling and I get to wear what I want."

He didn't have to mention that Jaguar dressed like that often enough. "Now do I need to go over what you should act like in front of our guests or can I trust you enough to be smart and curb your tongue at least."

"Fuck you." She growled before shutting the door behind her and walking out in front of him.

She was three steps away from him before he caught up and whispered, "Is that your answer?"

She remained silent letting him make of it what he liked because in truth she hadn't thought of an answer yet. Silently they walked down a flight of stairs and through two large doors behind which vampires could be heard laughing, seducing, and arguing with each other heatedly. One fight Blair listened to with intensity as they walked through the doors.

It was between Gabriel and Fala. Two of her favorites. For the first time Blair slid into Eric's mind. 'Lets go talk with them.' She insisted. For once Eric went without resistance. Blair was careful to appear hesitant and look like she was following Eric with cautious steps to the vampires. Once they and formed a semi circle Fala looked her over. It was no secret that Fala preferred females though she took males sometimes.

"My dear Blair what has he done to you?" Shooting a glare at Eric she simply shrugged. "Blame Master Eric here." at that Gabriel chuckled.

Eric listened to Fala and Blair converse in a language unknown to him but from Fala's background figured it to be Latin or Egyptian. It wasn't until Jaguar and another vampire by the name of Nikolas appeared by their sides that Eric realized how relaxed Blair was around him and the others. But when Jaguar showed up every muscle in her body seemed to tense and scream.

Gently he put his arm around her and stroked her back. Unknowingly she leaned back into the touch.

"Eric, are you enjoying your gift so far?" Jaguar asked and the two shared a smirk both knowing that Blair was never going to be broken.

"Yes, I thank you again Jaguar I am enjoying her company very much."

The way he said company left somethings implied so that Nikolas wouldn't be to concerned if she wasn't fully broken. After all, to Nikolas she was just Eric's new sex toy. With trained eyes Nikolas eyed the woman taking in every flaw. There weren't many. Her arms were smooth and unmarked she would be a nice addition for him.

"Whenever your get tired of her Eric let me know. I'll give you asking price for her. She's magnificent."

Eric could feel the muscles not with tension in her back and once again he stroked her pale skin in slow warming strokes.

"If I ever tire of her than you shall be the first I call." Eric lied without a flaw.

Suddenly a shape shifter stalked in with an alarmed look on her face. "Masters, lycanthropes have been spotted sneaking into the grounds." Eric sighed and went swiftly out into the hall with Jaguar pulling Blair behind. Turning to her he gave her the key to his room. "It's four doors down from your own, I want you to go there and wait for me and then when I get back I'll walk you to your room."

He turned to leave but she jerked him back. "Like hell I will! I want to come. If it's Lucious out there than he belongs to me and I want him dead." Eric looked her up and down. "No there's not enough time for you to get undressed and get your blades. Please Blair if I catch him than I promise to keep him alive for you."

With that he leaned down and brushed his lips against hers. Her angry melted momentarily as she grabbed some of his gorgeous black blue hair and kissed him back gently running her tongue over his lips but when he opened to let her in she pulled back and turned her back to him so that he wouldn't see how breathless she was.

"I'll be in your room. Remember your promise Eric." With that she strode away. After the third time she tripped over her heels she took them off. As she rose and stood on both feet flat once more a voice purred from the shadows.

"And whats a beauty like you doing wandering around without her master?"

Not skipping a beat Blair shifted into the lowest profile fighting stance she knew. "I'm going to my master's room while he attends some business, my lord." She looked at the ground as a blond vampire came and graced his fingers over her reveled collar bone.

"And who would your master be?"

"Eric." She retorted trying not to flinch away at his touch.

With a quick jerk of his hand he would have back handed her and left her a colorful bruise or even worse, a broken jaw. But Blair depended on her reflexes and dropped to the ground as his hand lifted every so slightly to deliver the blow. This angered the vampire. "It's Master I suggest you speak of him with respect. As he clearly spoils you." Before Blair could blink there was a whip in his hand and it cracked across her back.

The first time it knocked her to the ground and then the second blow fell and he was drawing back to deliver another crack but a feral growl screamed from down the corridor and suddenly the blond vampire was pinned to the wall by the throat. "If you ever so much as touch her again Jamil I'll kill you. She belongs to me not you."

With that Eric dropped Jamil and took a step back stepping between the embarrassed vampire and Blair. With a snarl he disappeared and Eric was at Blair's side picking her up even as she protested slightly. She'd been whipped before it wasn't that bad. And only two blows. She considered herself lucky.

Eric murmured to her as he laid her down on his bed. She hadn't even noticed entering his room. But then again she couldn't take her eyes off of him. He stroked her hair tenderly and said a name. A boy appeared and Eric asked for bandages and medicine. In a matter of moments the boy appeared and Eric dismissed him. He rolled her around and started to unzip the dress.

It caught on her skin and her muscles bunched at the pain. He ripped the dress off the rest of the way. It was ruined anyway. "Raise up." She raised up and the dress fell off of her down to the small of her back. the blood from the cuts ran down and he straddled her back licking it off. As soon as his tongue gingerly bushed against the cuts she gasped but she didn't tell him to stop so he didn't.

He moved to the second cut and she moaned slightly. He was lapped it up taking in the taste of her and trying to remember what she tasted like. Her blood was like drinking a sweet red wine. It made him soar. And that's when he realized the power in her. He stopped as he reached her bra and she breathed softly begging for him to not stop. "Your a sorceress."
