And here is chapter 2 for my Eric story. Hopefully, he's not too out of his character. ^^ Also, please review, cause I'd be happy to receive comments! .

"You want us to seduce Eric Northman?!" Sasha gasped and fell down on her chair, her strength leaving her.

I merely shrugged. "If that's the name he goes by, then yes."

Lara was glaring at me hatefully as her eyes shifted from me to Sasha and then to me again.

"Do you have even the slightest idea who he is?" Sasha continued to panic. "He's the oldest one around here! He could snap us like a twig!"

"All the more fun," I grinned mischievously.

"You're one sick bitch," Lara hissed at me and pulled Sasha after herself as she headed off towards the throne of the self-proclaimed king.

I watched them move through the crowd rather amused, pondering if they're really gonna get themselves killed in case they take things a tiny bit too far. Still, I highly doubted Eric would risk killing a human in his own bar. He should have enough of IQ to realize this would be quite a rough mistake. On the other hand, he DID call his club FANGtasia. Yep, there's no telling what he might do.

I took another sip of my drink calmly. Worse case scenario – I won't have to worry where to hide the bodies, it will all be on his shoulders. I smiled contently. Everything's gonna work out perfectly.

The next few minutes simply flew by as I watched a comedy show called "How to appall the big bad vampire". Really, and those girls called themselves the best dancers in "Passion"? If that's true, the situation was even worse than pathetic. I sighed. Those two will never seduce him by simply moving their hips and panting as if they're high on drugs. Truly, where has the art of seduction gone? I smiled to myself softly as I remembered the beautiful dances of subtle temptation in the Far East and then down lower in Egypt and Arabia. Ohhh, humans sure knew how to have fun back in the ancient ages…

I licked my lips as memories flushed over me. I looked at my watch. Still 6 minutes to go. Hmmm. That's just enough time for a dance. I smirked to myself as I put the glass down on the table and headed towards the center of the hall. The dancers were dancing to the rhythmical beat of the music and I simply slid among them, a wide smile stretched on my lips. Dancing was one of my biggest passions as it was one of the strongest seduction techniques humans had ever created.

The dancers on the hall parted surprised as they saw my body move in swiftly among them. I spun around and lifted my arms up, ruffling my hair. My body caught the rhythm of the music immediately and I started moving to the beat in perfect agile motions. My entire body swung and spun, mesmerizing and tempting, my arms stretching and retracting as my curls fell on my face, hiding and once again revealing my blazing and burning eyes. I moved fast, I moved slow, then fast again and then came to a sudden halt pausing my body in a most seductive shape in mid air as if I had frozen in one of my dancing positions. The eyes of both men and women, vampires and humans, were all on me as I suddenly moved down and then up again and then froze once more only to fly across the hall in a passionate movement. My eyes flared with fiery fire of sheer libido, my true nature seeping through in every movement I made. My dancing was like nothing they'd ever seen before. It incorporated the beauty and temptation of the belly dance, the heat and passion of flamenco and the grace and lightness of waltz. I danced like I always did – like there was no tomorrow, running all wild and giving in to the beats and cords of the music until it stopped ringing and my body froze in the last crescendo.

As I rose from the floor, my eyes still burning in passion and the feeling of freedom, everyone around stared at me in respectful awe, humans and vampires alike now attracted to me as never before. I retreated to my table content and totally relaxed. But as I reached out for my glass, my great mood was ruined by my two most favorite human girls. Do note the sarcasm.

"You really did outshine yourself tonight," Lara commented spitefully.

I turned to her and smiled, sipping my drink.

"You little slutty bitch!" Sasha hissed at me. "You totally ruined our moment!"

"Does that mean you failed?" I asked innocently.

"YOU-" Sasha was held back by Lara, who could still control herself somewhat.

"Eric summoned you," she said with a cocky smile.

I merely raised my brow questioningly. "So?"

The only summoning I was familiar with was the one when you draw a magical circle, seal it with blood and summon a demon for your little selfish whims. Or a devil. Whichever one you prefer. Though such games rarely had a happily ever after ending.

"It means you must go to him," Sasha glared at me spitefully.

I shrugged. "Meh, don't wanna."

"It's not a matter of wanting," Sasha stared at me baffled. "You MUST go."

"Why?" I asked and cast a glance towards the blond king. "What is he gonna do if I don't? Suck my blood? Throw me out of his club? Not a big deal, considering I don't really like this place."

"You… you are unbelievable!" Sasha plopped down on a chair, shaking her head.

Lara merely chuckled as she eyed me angrily. "Oh, you will go there, Lily. And you know why? Cause your bet target is there!"

She grinned contently and I glanced at her surprised. "You want me to seduce the man that you just failed to seduce?"

"Oh, no, no," Lara grinned. "Not a man."

I cocked my brow, an ominous feeling creeping into my head.

"Your target is Pam."

"Pam?" I echoed confused. "Pam who?"

"Pam the vampire next to Eric," Lara replied and Sasha cackled.

"Serves you right," Sasha noted. "I wonder how Eric will react when he sees you going for his partner instead of him. Ha-ha, hopefully, he'll snap your neck."

I merely stared at them taken a back. Don't tell me they planned it all from the start.

"Do you really think we haven't noticed how you always avoid women?" Lara asked. "You always accept all the advances from your male suitors, but reject any you get from the females."

I smiled charmingly at her, "Well, what can I say? I don't swing that way."

"Well, then, you'd better start right about now," Sasha laughed as she pushed me lightly. "Oh, and you only have 5 minutes. Don't you think it's fair after the show you just put on?"

"Tick tock, tick tock," Lara grinned and motioned with her hand for me to hurry.

I scoffed at her, refusing to back down and gulped down the last of my drink. I really should have killed these two long ago.

I turned around and headed towards the blond king and his right hand Pam slowly. I needed a plan and quick. My charms won't work on her, most probably. I've never tried it on a female vampire before. And she is a woman. And I only have 5 minutes. And… everything is against me. So then, the only approach that can still work out is the one none of the people here would ever think about in my place.

The truth.

Oh, yes. That one might work. This Pam seemed like she was slightly into me. Perhaps, she won't mind playing along a little.

I smiled widely as I reached the blond king. I glanced at him, my eyes never leaving his face and his grey ones following my movements. I halted just a few steps away from him, my smile never wavering. I wonder how old he really is.

"My friends said you wanted to see me, kind sir," I said, cocking my head to my right in a rather innocent fashion, yet, knowing quite well it showed my bare neck to both him and Pam.

From earlier experience I knew vampires found my scent rather attractive. It seemed that my blood, which was brimming with sheer life force, was a rare delicacy for them and it was one of the many reasons I avoided vampires. I once made the mistake of letting a vampire get carried away and that resulted in me losing almost half of my blood. I felt so weak I almost went berserk and ended up sucking a few humans completely dry. And trust me, you don't wanna see a succubus go berserk. We become quite dangerous creatures when we're too hungry.

Meanwhile, the blond vampire gave me a small smirk and replied in a slow, deep voice, "Where did you learn to dance?"

Ohhh, what a tempting voice. So… manly. Enticing. Alluring. I can see why those humans would fall for him.

"Oh, you know how it is," I answered waving my hand nonchalantly. "A little bit here, a tiny bit there. Did you, perhaps, find it to your liking, sir?"

"Yes," he nodded slightly, his eyes staring straight into mine. I realized they only seemed to be grey from afar. Somewhere deeper I could notice hues of an amazing blue color. "Indeed, I did."

I smiled even wider, parting my lips slightly, letting my perfect teeth show, and turned my head to the vampire woman next to the blond male. Pam. My real target.

"What about you, Miss?" I asked, my voice coated in soft silky tones. "Have I, by any chance, moved up by a few positions in that list of yours?"

For a moment, she stared at me somewhat surprised; as if she could not believe I actually managed to divert my attention from Eric the King and even dared to ask something of her.

I took a few small steps towards her, not breaking my eye contact with her, putting all of my charms to work. "Well, have I?"

I saw her eyes simmer with zest, but her vampire nature was still strong.

"I thought you don't swing that way," she noted with slight sarcasm and I cursed in my head. She heard. Still, my smile did not waver and my eyes never gave away anything I felt.

Now I stood mere centimeters away from her and my fingers touched her arm feather lightly, slowly running up to her shoulder and then freezing there for a moment before starting to draw light teasing circles.

"With you," I whispered, narrowing my eyes tantalizingly. "I don't mind trying."

I noticed her eyes flare up in sudden lust and interest.

"Well," I suddenly smirked and waved my hand nonchalantly, making her question my sudden change in attitude. "Truthfully, I made a bet with my friends that you'd kiss me."

I looked up at her once again, my lips parted seductively, my voice barely a whisper, "Wanna try?"

Her eyes gobbled me up hungrily, her lips parting to show her fangs. She was practically mine, just a tiny bit more and…

"Pam," a cold deep voice immediately dispelled all the charm I managed to put on her and I saw her eyes grow cold in seconds. "Don't you have something to do?"

She smiled and turned around, leaving me all baffled and confused. Shit. That little… arrogant sucker. I turned to the blond vampire Eric, my eyes burning in anger. I HAD HER. I needed just three more seconds…

My angry eyes met his cold and bored ones and for a moment we just stared at each other, neither of us wanting to break the contact first. Glancing away meant losing.

Yet, I was the one who did it first, as I got distracted by a pat on my shoulder.

"Time's up, Lily," Lara laughed. "Don't forget your resignation letter tomorrow."

I turned to the two, watching them go away as they chuckled maybe a bit too happily. Oh, great. I glanced back at Eric, my eyes staring at him angrily.

"You happy now?"

"Why would I be?" He asked innocently, yet, with a content smile on his lips.

"Well, you just made me lose my job," I replied smugly.

"Oh, right," he noted, looking at me. "That little bet of yours."

I narrowed my eyes on him. So, vampires do have good hearing. "You do know it's rude to listen to other conversations, right?"

"I do now," he answered, a playful smile on his lips. He was really enjoying this.

"Unbelievable," I muttered, my eyes narrowing onto him in anger.

"If it's about the job," he said slowly, "I can take care of that easily."

Now I was really angry. Did he really think I cared about that job? I could get any job I wanted! All I needed to do was bat my eyelashes at someone and voila!

"It's not about the job," I spat out enraged. "It's about pride."

"Pride?" He cocked an eyebrow. "Pride in being a whore?"

For a moment, my mind went blank and I thought I was gonna jump on him right here and now, but then my nature overpowered my rage and I merely flashed a self-confident and charming smile at him, which seemed to bewilder him. Perhaps, he was expecting a flare of anger, which would have been a normal reaction for any other woman, even a prostitute.

What he didn't know though was that I did things differently. Vampire or no vampire, he was a man. Nothing more, but a man. And men, I knew best.

I continued to smile at him charmingly, as I asked in an innocent voice, "Where's the sin in taking pride in what I am?"

I stepped closer to him and suddenly leaned on, putting my arm right beside his head on the rim of his chair, my face coming up closer to his, as I whispered softly, yet, with a tint of mock, "And dare tell me, what would men do without sluts?"

He stared at me seemingly calmly, but I could feel him burn inside with a mix of anger and lust. Seems like I have woken up a sleeping lion.

I retreated back to my standing position and put my one hand on my hips, looking at him over my shoulder.

"You can always try though," I mocked. "I heard they make truly realistic dolls these days."

With that said I turned around taking a few more steps away from him, at the same time finding my cute little vampires and silently motioning for them to come.

"I did not give you my permission to leave," I heard his cold angry voice and turned around to face him again.

"Well, can I please have your permission to leave, kind sir?" I asked, cocking my head to my left this time and giving him a small innocent smile.

"No," he said as he got up and took a few steps towards me, his eyes looking me up and down almost hungrily. Oh, boy, I sure stirred him up.

"What a pity," I replied, shrugging my shoulders. "See, I already have my dates for tonight. Don't wanna keep them waiting for too long."

Now, let's see if Eric the King had swallowed the gudgeon. Right about then, the two vampires I had caught into my web before, showed up behind me. Steve put his arm around my waist, while the other one bent his head down towards my neck, his arm on my shoulder. I turned my head so he could reach my neckline better and felt his lips touch my neck, his fangs grazing my skin slightly. Oh, my. They sure were on the verge.

I smiled charmingly and felt a wave of rage, passion, anger and craving coming out of the blond vampire in front of me. Ha. Hook, line and sinker.

"Leave," he whispered in a low menacing tone and it worked its magic unbelievably fast as the two vampires were gone as if into thin air. I felt all my charm bonds severed in less than a second. Wow, never underestimate an old and powerful vampire, huh.

He stared at me, his eyes slowly returning to cold and uncaring ones. I smirked at him. "You've cost me my job, my pride and even my entertainment for tonight. Hope you have a way of compensating my losses."

He let out a short chuckle as he came closer to me, his eyes simmering with remains of anger again.

"You're playing a dangerous game, Lily," he whispered, his arm rising to brush my cheek. His cold fingers ran along my warm and soft skin and I smiled at him.

"Do you want me to stop, then?" I whispered, my arms snaking around his neck.

I saw his eyes glisten with desire and smiled even wider. Like I said before, vampire or no vampire, still but a man.
