A/N: The first part of this chapter is rated M for a bit of reunion lemons :)

Disclaimer:See chapters 1-3

I hadn't seen Sookie all day nor did I want to; it was safer for her if I didn't know where she was. Sam had sent me a text earlier saying that she was fine and would let me know if anything changed. I hadn't gotten home from work till past 8 that night so decided to spend the evening in my pajamas in front of the TV. Half way through my tub of ice cream I heard a knock at the door. I rolled my eyes as I got up and pulled my robe over my body; my idea of pajamas was a lacy negligee which wasn't something I wanted a random stranger to see me in. I opened the door and instantly smiled.

"Hello lover." Eric stood there looking as gorgeous as ever in his usual black trousers and top. I practically jumped into his arms and wrapped my hands around his neck as he firmly held me. He laughed at my actions then carried me into the house and straight up the stairs to my bedroom. I had managed to buy a new bed while he had been away (one with a warranty) to replace the one we had broken the night before he left. He placed me down on the bed and laid down next to me. I laid back too and turned on my side to face him.

"I wasn't expecting you back so soon but I'm glad you're here. I missed you more than I thought I would but your presence in my dreams helped with the pain." He smiled then pushed my robe off of my shoulder. "I should have mentioned that my blood would have that affect on you but I didn't think you would mind. Is everything okay lover? I noticed that Sookie isn't around and yesterday I felt that you were distressed. Did something happen?"

"I'm fine. Sookie was attacked last night at the bar so I asked her boss Sam, who is also a shapeshifter, to look after her. It was clear that she wasn't safe with me anymore and this way I can continue to look into who is after her, although I don't have much to go on. What happened at the trial? Is everything okay?"

Eric's hand curled around my waist and he pulled me flush against his body. I could feel his erection through his jeans and let out a low moan; dreams were nothing like the real thing. He slowly started to kiss my neck then whispered to me as he reached my ear, "I don't want to talk about anything right now." He kissed me hard on the lips and forced my lips apart with his tongue. He shifted on top of me and I could hear him kicking his boots off. I pulled his top off over his head and started to unfasten his jeans.

He pulled the top of my negligee down to expose my breasts. He dipped his head down and caught one nipple in his mouth as his pinched my other nipple between his fingers. He soft bite down and a loud moan erupted from my lips. Eric growled as he removed my negligee and stared down at my naked body. I smiled at him and I pushed his jeans past his hips freeing his extremely hard and large dick. I licked my lips then cried out in pleasure as I felt Eric's tongue lick my clit. He pushed my legs wider apart then held my waist firmly. His tongue dipped inside my wet core then was replaced by one of his fingers. He continued to massage my clit with his tongue, which were sending pulses of pleasure throughout my body.

I could feel my release and Eric must have too because he entered another finger into my core causing my orgasm to take over my body. Eric then started to kiss his way up my body and smiled as he reached my lips. Tasting myself on his tongue was the most erotic thing I had ever experienced. Eric slipped himself into my wet core and started to pound into me. With every thrust I could feel my wave of pleasure build up again. He was the best lover I had ever been with and now he was showing me why.

I started to move up hips upward, meeting him with every thrust. He growled in my ear then bit down on my neck. I arched up body up to him and continued to meet his thrusts. Him biting me during sex was the most blissful thing in the world; it bought untouched nerves to life and my whole body felt like it was in utopia. I could feel another orgasm start to rise but tried to suppress him, hoping to last longer.

"Let it go lover, we have all night." At Eric's request, I allowed my orgasm to take over my body. He helped me ride out my orgasm then collapsed on me. He rolled off of me and allowed me to catch my breath.

"Missed me that much huh?" Eric looked over at me and grabbed me before I had time to move. He pinned my body to his and chuckled in my ear.

"Oh that was just the warm up. I don't intend to stop next time."

"Looks like you got the welcome home party I wanted." I held my hand up in acknowledgment to Sookie as I headed straight to the coffee machine. I poured myself a cup then sat down without adding milk or sugar to it. Sookie raised an eyebrow at me as I gulped down the hot substance in one go.

"Bloody selfish vampires. They keep you up all night with their amazing bedroom skills then leave to play dead at dawn. It's like Eric assumes my internal clock works like his. I only managed to get a couple of hours before the sun got too bright. What happened with you and Bill last night? I was expecting you to look like me."

"Well that was my plan. I was over the moon when Bill turned up at Merlotte's last night. He practically whisked me away back to his but before we could do anything, his daughter stormed into his bedroom stating that she was hungry."

I could feel my mind drifting off whilst Sookie was talking to me; my attention spam was non-existent after a night for really loud, really hard and really long sex which resulted in only two hours sleep. However, at the mention of a daughter, my mind snapped back to reality and I looked up at Sookie. Her face was emotionless so I knew this wasn't her idea as a joke.

"A daughter? As in 'daddy will you please drive me to school?'" "More along the lines of 'daddy can you please show me how to feed off a human?' Her name is Jessica and she is Bill's new vampire daughter. That was his punishment for killing Longshadow: he took a vampire life and so he will make another vampire. After that, sex was the furthest thing from my mind. I wanted to come home but the idea of trying to sleep whilst the two of you were going at it was off-putting. Speaking of you two going at it, what are you wearing?"

I looked down at myself and saw that I was in Eric's top from last night. He must have left without it. "Well it looks like Eric's top. I went to grab my nightdress but saw it was ripped down the back and I picked up this. He has got to stop ripping my things or at least replace them. And I loved that nightdress." "The pink silk one?" I nodded and Sookie's face fell.

"I liked that one. I thought of putting it in my draw had crossed my mind several times before now. I guess that does explain why your wash load has shrunken in size. Is Eric really that rough in bed?" I looked over at Sookie and all I could see was that innocent blonde girl I had met on my first day in Bon Temps, who blushed at the mention of sex and now she was asking me about my sex life.

"You have no idea Sook and I'm afraid that if I do tell you, it may corrupt you. But I will tell you this: sex with Eric is never boring, even in plain old missionary." Sookie giggled at me then stood up and grabbed her bag.

"Well I'm off to work. I'll see you at 5 and I promise I will let Sam walk me out to my car." "Good and then we'll talk about your potential step vampire daughter. Sex should only increase after the kids are born." She continued to laugh as she headed out of the house. I got up and grabbed another cup of coffee; one with milk and sugar, then headed upstairs to shower. It was going to be a long day.

I was half way through sweeping the living room floor when something caught my eye. I had decided to waste time by cleaning the house since it had been deprived of a good clean by Sookie and me lately. I bent down brushed my hand over what looked like clay. On closer inspection I saw it was brick dust. What would brick dust be doing in the house? It crumbled away as I rubbed it in between my hands. I looked up and saw it was by the bookcase, the same bookcase that held the photo of Sookie and I that the killer turned down.

The brick dust must have come off of his shoe when be broke into the house. I tried to think of where the dust must have come from; it wasn't something that everyone in Bon Temps had access to. The only time I had seen it before was when Jason had bought it into the house after he finished work at the road crew but he hadn't been around the house since before the attack.

I tried think about who else worked there that could be considered as a suspect but came up blank. It didn't make any sense. I went to get up but it was in that moment something hit me around the head.

I managed to eventually open my eyes and felt my head pumping; that must have been some blow. I looked around and saw that I was laying in a pool of blood, probably my blood. A blow like that would probably have killed me if I could die. I tried to think back to what happened but Sookie's screams distracted me. I stumbled up and dragged myself towards her voice.

I saw what looked like Rene trying to wrap his hands around Sookie's neck. My adrenaline kicked in and I ran up to him and threw him off of Sookie. She looked up at me with wide eyes then held onto me as I pulled her out.

"Look out!" I turned and saw Rene swing the shovel at us. I held up hand up and watched as the shovel hit an invisible wall then landed a kick to Rene's stomach that sent him flying across the room. I held on to Sookie as I dragged her out of the house. I needed to get her to safety and the only place I could think of was Bill's. I dragged her across the front lawn and into the cemetery.

"What was that? Why didn't the shovel touch us? What did you do?" We continued to run but it was proving to be difficult with Sookie's injuries. I was still very weak but keeping Sookie safe was more important. "It doesn't matter. We have to get you to safety. Once I get you to Bill's then I'll handle Rene."

I could see Bill's house in the distance and sighed in relief, we were almost there. I could feel Sookie growing weaker but I held her up. She then stumbled on what looked like a rock and collapsed taking me with her. I managed to get back up but saw that Sookie was struggling; looks like I was going to have to drag her.

"You stupid fangbangers, think you could escape?" I looked up and saw Rene making his way over to us. His Cajun accent was gone and he was still holding his shovel. I dragged Sookie and left her by one of the gravestones. "How are you still standing? I watched you while you bled out." Rene tried to swing the shovel at me again but I caught it mid air and yanked it out of his hand. He stumbled forward then went flying backwards when a dog, which had come out of nowhere, attack him.

"Sam!" I watched as Rene pushed Sam, in his dog form, off of him, pick up a stone and run towards me. I anticipated his move before he made it so I moved out of his line of fire and grabbed his head between my hands. I saw Sookie's eyes go blank as I snapped Rene's neck and watched as his lifeless body fell to the ground. I then fell to my knees as I felt incredibly weak. The last thing I remembered was Sookie screaming my name.

"As I told Detective Bellefleur earlier, Rene knocked me to the ground and as he walked towards me, I kicked him backwards which caused him to fall and break his neck on the gravestone behind him." Sheriff Dearborne nodded then wrote notes in his small notepad. When I regain consciousness, Sookie had explained to me that her and Sam had moved Rene's body (or Drew Marshall as that's his real name) to make it look like he had broken his neck as he fell. They called the police from there, which was why I was now being questioned. I managed to walk back to the house after Sookie insisted that we continue this inside.

"I see. Just one more question Miss Rosebud: how did so much of your blood end up on the floor. I can't see a wound anywhere." Oh shit! I had forgotten to mention the pool of blood to Sookie. My head had fully healed physically but I still had a pounding headache.

"Rene hit me over the head when he first entered the house. I managed to drink some vampire blood after it happened to heal myself. My boyfriend had given me some of his blood in a vile for emergencies. It came in handy."

"You willingly drank V? You know that's against the law Miss Rosebud." "I am well aware of what the law says Sheriff Dearborne, I am a lawyer. Like I said, it was given to me to use in emergencies and I think receiving a fatal blow to the head counts as an emergency. I'm thankful it didn't kill me instantly otherwise Sookie and myself may be dead. Now are you done with your questions? We've had a very traumatic day and I think we're entitled to some rest."

Sookie showed everyone to the door then limped back towards me. It looked like she had suffered a sprain ankle, a black eye, a few cracked ribs and probably a concussion. I contemplated giving her some of the epoúlosi herbs but chose not to. Apollo gave those to me for a reason (so he says) and they were too valuable to be wasted on injuries that could be healed with Bill's blood.

"Your boyfriend gave you some for his blood for emergencies?" I looked over at Sookie and we both burst into laughter. She then quickly stopped and grabbed her side; definitely a few cracked ribs.

"Well it was that or tell them that I was immortal and healed on my own. Besides, they wouldn't know the difference." She nodded then handed me my beer while she drunk from her own. "How did you manage to stop the shovel hitting us? I've been thinking it over and I know that something stopped it before it touched us."

I held up my wrist showed Sookie one of my bands. "Your bracelet?" "It isn't just a normal bracelet. Centuries ago, Hephaestus created both the bangles out of titanium for his wife, Aphrodite. He made them to protect her from enemy attacks. All she needed to do think about blocking an attack whilst wearing the bangles and they would create a kind of force field to protect her. He made them to resemble a feminine bracelet so she could wear them every day. However, she rejected the gift and he gave them to me. You've always thought that they were just bracelets which is what makes them such a valuable weapon."

"Next time you go to Olympus, can I come? I wouldn't mind killing someone to get such cool gifts." I laughed at Sookie then pulled her in for a cuddle. In this moment, all we needed was each other.

I didn't realise how hard action scenes were to write! There you have it! I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you're just as excited for the next few chapters as I am :)

Don't forget to review!
