The response that I have received from this story has been overwhelming! Thank you all so much! I'm not 100% happy with this chapter but I needed it to set up the next one which is finally be Alexandra's origins. There's a storyline in this that you will recognise but it has been changed slightly. I hope you all enjoy it :)

"Son of a bitch!" I didn't realise how loud I was until I looked up and saw that everyone's eyes in Merlotte's were on me. I flashed an innocent smile then sunk my head in the file that Eric gave on Thursday night. I couldn't do much over the weekend as I was waiting for the paperwork from the insurance company. I walked into the small firm where I worked with Portia Bellefleur and a fax was waiting for me. However, I couldn't get round to looking at it till now cause Portia had insisted on my help with her case all morning. I told Eric that I would have some form of answers by Monday, which was why I was spending my lunch break buried in paperwork.

"You should hear some of the things that people are thinking right now. They can't believe that a successful lawyer like yourself has such a fowl mouth on her." I looked up at Sookie has she placed my burger in front of me and smiled. I wouldn't normally come to Merlotte's during the day because it was when the older part of the community came to the bar but Sookie was working the lunch shift and I really needed a burger.

"I'll take a pass. Telepathy is your skill. My skill is figuring out why Eric is missing $30,000 which I think I just did." I quickly stood up and threw the folder in my bag. I placed several bills on the table and grabbed my burger. "Look I gotta run, I'll explain everything when I get home later so make sure you're there. I'm gonna need your assistance tonight." Before Sookie could respond, I rushed out of Merlotte's and headed straight back to the office. If I finished writing up another clients contract within the next couple of hours then I could get home.

The anticipation of seeing Eric later was eating away at me. All weekend he was all I could think about: his blonde hair, his tall and muscular frame and those blue eyes that had the colour of Poseidon's seas. He looked so familiar and yet I felt like it was the first time I had met him. There was something about him that made me want more. I wanted him and it had been years since I wanted a man in such a sexual way before. But I knew that having him sexually wouldn't satisfy me; I would want him again and again in more ways than sexual.

"Have you ever had a sex dream about Bill?" Sookie stopped applying her lipstick and turned her head to face me. I was sitting on her bed waiting for her to get ready. When I got back from work I had explained to her that I needed her to come with me to Fangtasia tonight because I needed her 'super cool minding reading skills'. She eventually caved when I reminded her that I had done her many favors over the past month.

"Well yeah but that's only because I've had some of his blood but it was nothing like the real thing, I mean the way he…" Sookie suddenly stopped and looked at me like she was a deer caught in my headlights.

"You had sex with Bill?!" It was more of a statement than a question but it just shocked me. She hadn't been seeing him for long and I knew it was her first time. "Why didn't you tell me? I knew you looked different this morning but I couldn't put my finger on it. So how was it? Everything you ever imagined?" She went bright red and turned away from to and carried on putting her lipstick on.

"A woman does not talk about such things." "Sookie, this isn't the 1900's. As your 'more than a roommate' roommate, I should be the first person you tell. Now spill, I want all the details." She eventually caved and I couldn't help but smile at how happy she looked. She said that it wasn't something she intended on doing and that was probably why she enjoyed it so much.

"How many did you have?" She gave me a questioning look before I rolled my eyes. "Orgasms! How many did you have? And did your toes curl?"

"I think 3, but they seemed to get longer than the previous one and I don't know, maybe they did. My legs just felt weak afterwards and I couldn't move for a while." She stood up and brushed herself down before stepping into her red flats.

"It seems to me that you definitely had good sex. God do I miss it. Its been way too long and the last time I had it, it was no where satisfying. Maybe that's why I've been having sex dreams about Eric." Sookie's jaw dropped like I had said the most unbelievable thing ever. "You haven't had his blood have you?"

"No! I just haven't been able to stop thinking about him. He makes me want to rip my own clothes off and stand there while he looks at me." Sookie giggled as she came over and sat next to me.

"It isn't a bad thing. Just see what happens. I would say be careful because he's a thousand year old vampire who has probably got hundreds of years of experience in that department but I know you'll be fine. You don't strike anyone as a naïve woman and I know you can dish out just as much as he can." I smiled at her then wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a hug. She had definitely been my saving grace this past month and I was lucky to have a friend like her.

I was shocked to see that it was Eric who opened the door to Fangtasia later that night. I was expecting to see Pam but it was definitely a good shock. He smiled when he saw me and my heart couldn't help but skip a beat when he leaned down and whispered in my ear, "I was hoping to see that skirt again." I smiled and licked my lips at him.

"I'll still grant you access." He seductively looked at me and I could feel my legs go weak under his gaze. "I hope you don't mind but I bought Sookie and Bill with me tonight. I need Sookie's abilities to help me get to the bottom of your financial loss and since she's with Bill now, they come as a package." Eric looked over my head and grinned when he saw both Sookie and Bill. He walked into the club and I followed close behind him enjoying the view. He sat down next to Pam on one of the tables and asked me to join them. Sookie and Bill sat at the bar and faced the man who worked behind the bar, probably asking him for a drink.

"So what have you found out?" I opened my bag and placed the file Eric had given me on the table. He opened it and I saw his face fall. "As you can see, I managed to get hold of your insurance company who sent me a copy of the payment they received from you this month. They received $30,000, your agreed monthly price and assured me that they had not put the price up nor would they. I also had a look at your other finances and noticed that they had been going up slowly each month too but not enough for you notice if you weren't paying attention. I can get all the information from those companies but it seems to me that someone is embezzling money from your club. That someone being a member of your staff. That's why I asked Sookie to accompany me this evening. She has certain abilities that allow her to read minds. That was how she knew of the raid last Wednesday."

Eric looked over at Sookie who smiled back at him. "Interesting. Can you read anyone's mind or is there a limit?" "I can't read a vampire's mind but that's the only limit I know. I'll be more than happy to help you." I saw a slight glare coming from Bill but ultimately this was Sookie's decision and she was fine about it.

"Do you have any human staff who would have access to your financial books or your office?" Eric looked over at Pam and nodded to her. She got up and vamped to the back and returned seconds later with a blonde woman who wasn't wearing much. She had bite marks all over her skin and looked older than she dressed.

"Alexandra this is Ginger, Ginger this is Alexandra, the lawyer Pam asked you to contact for us. Her friend Sookie is going to ask you a few questions and you're going to answer them truthfully, aren't you?" Ginger looked at both Sookie and I before turning back to look at Eric and nodded. Eric smiled and stood up and placed her in the seat he was sitting in. I stood up too and Sookie sat down in mine. I walked over and stood next to Eric and tuned out on what Sookie was saying. Standing this close to him made me remember the vivid dreams I had been having of him lately.

"You seem distracted Alexandra. Something else on your mind?" Eric looked down at me and I knew he saw right through me. I knew he knew what I was thinking and that made it even more fun.

"Please call me Alexie. I feel much older than what I am when you call me Alexandra. And as a matter of fact there is something else on my mind. I was wondering if you preferred pink or red. I wouldn't want to disappoint you with my choice of underwear tonight."

I heard Eric's fangs snap out before I saw them. It was his way of showing me that I had got to him and he wanted me just as much as I wanted him. I saw him look down my blouse and nod his head in approval.

"She didn't do it, but she knows who did." Eric and I both looked over at Sookie who was holding Ginger's hand. "It's going to be okay, you can tell me. Nothings going to happen to you." Sookie then turned her head to Eric and I. "She's sacred. She thinks that she'll die if I found out the truth. But it's strange. I tried to access her memory but its blank. Like I can't see past the fog."

"She's been glamoured. Which means it was a vampire who stole the money." Sookie looked over at Pam but before she could ask Ginger another question, Longshadow, Eric's barman, leaped over the bar and grabbed Sookie.

"You worthless human!" My gut took over in that moment. I leaped across to Longshadow and landed a kick to his side that sent him flying to the other side of the bar. Sookie looked up at me with fear in her eyes as I grabbed her and pushed her behind me. I saw Longshadow get up and readied myself for his attack, but it never came. Just as he reached me, he turned into a pile of sticky blood. I looked up and saw Bill standing in front of me holding a makeshift wooden steak. He must have ripped it from Eric's bar. I looked down at myself and saw that I was covered in Longshadow's remains.

"I think we found out who embezzled from you Eric." He looked over at me as I wiped what I could off of my face. My beige work shorts were now ruined, as was my blouse. I looked down at my shoes and silently thanked myself for wearing leather ones today.

"Well, what caught my attention was how you managed to knock a 400 year old vampire across the room with one kick." I looked up at Pam and gave her a small smile before turning around and looking at Sookie. As oppose to looking at Bill all lovingly for saving her life, she was looking at me with a confused look on her face. I guess the cat was out of the bag. Before I could say anything however, Eric grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Sookie.

"I think it's best if you clean up before you do anything else." He pulled me into his office where he gave me a towel. "I have to go sort everything out back there. I'll tell Sookie that I'll drop you home once you've cleaned up so she doesn't have to wait." I nodded at Eric and started to wipe Longshadow's remains off of my face. I stepped out of my shoes and peeled my ruined clothes off of my body and placed them in the bin. I wiped my body down as much as I could but gave up once the towel was covered.

I knew that I had a lot of explaining to do but just as my mind was about to wonder off, I felt a pair of hands grab me. Within an instant I was sitting on Eric's desk with him standing in-between my legs looking down at me.

"When I purposed you seeing me in my underwear earlier, this was not what I had in mind." I felt Eric run his hands down my arms. I closed my eyes at his touch. When I opened them again his face was inches away from mine. He wanted answers and I knew I had to give them to him.

"What are you Alexia?"

"I'm a Demi-God."

And there you have it! I know it doesn't make much sense but it will in the next chapter. She has a very complicated past so it will be a long one :) Don't forget to review! It makes my day :)
