They held each other silently for a long time. The flames of the fire reflected and shimmered in his golden hair. Eric got up to poke the fire and added some more wood. He turned to her and gasped at her beauty. He walked back over to the couch and dropped to his knee's in front of her. He laid his head in her lap and she ran her fingers through the golden locks. He took stock of all that they had talked through. He was so afraid that she would run away, decide that she would be better off if she just walked away and did not look back. If that was her choice he would not push anything further on her. He rubbed his face on her thighs and listened as her blood pumped through the veins. The feel of her warm fingers on his cool scalp was the most relaxing sensation.

He began to rub his hands on her thighs, down her legs. He massaged her feet and back up her legs to her thighs. He lifted his head and grabbed her around the small of her back. He jerked her close to him so he was positioned perfectly between her legs. She let out of deep and heavy sigh. His fangs were fully extended so she knew he was completely aroused. He leaned over and kissed her, hard and deep. This was different from the kiss they shared earlier. This kiss curled her toes and begged her to touch him. She felt her arms come up to his chest and start rubbing his muscles over his shirt. His arms, his back, his chest.

"Oh, Sookie", he breathed heavily into her ear as she rubbed his body. Suddenly he pulled back from her. She looked at him not knowing what to do. He smiled and lifted his hand to her hair. In a few quick motions he had let her hair fall from its twist. It cascaded over her shoulders and he gazed at her in the light of the fire. "Simply Stunning" he said.

And with that he grabbed her gently by the hair, not pulling or hurting her, and drew her back into a mind altering kiss. His fingers combed through her hair, how soft it felt in his hands. She could feel how happy they both were through their bond. She could also feel how happy he was through his pants. She slid her hand into the waistline of his pants in order to untuck his perfect shirt. His body actually quivered when her hand touched his bare skin. He let out a groan that was very satisfying.

Her body was doing its own quivering as his hands had found their way to her breasts. His fingers were gently rubbing them in the most tender way. He was savoring this time. It was not urgent, it was not rushed. It was theirs to have, it was theirs to enjoy.

She slid her hand under his shirt in order to rub his bare chest. She dragged her fingernails across his stomach, hard enough to leave a mark, but not near enough to draw blood.

"My once again lover" he gasped. He picked her up and laid her down in front of the fireplace. He raised her arms above her head and peeled the sweater from her body. He took a moment to appreciate the sight before him.

She held his eyes and began to unbutton his shirt, very slowly and very carefully. "You do realize that I will have no problem replacing this shirt should you feel the need to rip it from my body." He teased her, silently hoping she would tear the material with her teeth.

She didn't answer, she simply held his gaze and continued with the buttons, allowing her fingertips to graze his flesh. She was sitting in front of him and she brushed the shirt over the back of his shoulders. She kissed his bare neck and arms. Her mouth found its way to his chest and she kissed and licked in all the right spots. She clearly remembered his request months ago in the shower, "Bite a little", and she did.

"Oh my god", He threw his head back. "Sookie, I forgot how you feel. How could I forget this pleasure?" he moaned.

She lifted her head for a moment to say something, only to be immediately met by his mouth on hers. He pushed her back and kissed her face, her eyes, her ears, her neck, her breasts, he continued all the way down. He met the line of her jeans across her tummy and he looked at her as he lifted his brows, "Well this will just not do." He ginned at her and his eyes lit up. His hands quickly unbuttoned her jeans and slipped them off her body. He did take the time to kiss each of her feet as he removed them from the legs of the jeans. He kissed his way up her thighs until she was trembling with desire. He slid his hands under her panties and directly into her. "Yup, long fingers". She remembered to herself. She exhaled a long, satisfying breath. His fingers were long and they were skilled. They searched inside of her for the sensitive spot that he so fondly remembered. Her breathing became more labored and he knew he was getting close to that magic spot.

Without warning he ripped the panties off her body. He watched as she trembled and moved to his rhythm. "God she is beautiful", he thought.

"Eric...Eric", she moaned into the night. He removed his hand and replaced it with his mouth. Her hands immediately went to his hair and he enjoyed every minute of it. She could feel herself on the cusp of her climax. He knew she was on the verge. He turned his head to her inner thigh and he bit, gently and tenderly. He sucked gently as she came and screamed his name. While she was still in spasm from the orgasm he immediately put his mouth back between her legs and continued working with his tongue. Before she knew it she was experiencing another wave of pleasure. Bright white flashed behind her eyes.

"Please, please...Eric, oh...God." She yelled and quivered with little spasms of delight. He crawled up her body and kissed her. She could taste the blood on his lips. She was glistening with sweat and the fire made it sparkle. As she caught her breath she could see that he was still in his pants. She frowned, grabbed him, pushed him back. She quickly did away with his belt and undid the button and zipper of the pants. Again, his body quivered when he felt her touch on his skin. She reached inside of his pants and grasped her hands around his perfect butt.

"I think I like your ass better out of these pants." She laughed

"As you require lover, anything for you." He replied and she helped him as they came flying off. Her fingers found every inch of his body. He gasped and moaned as she kissed him everywhere, and while she did this, his hands never left her body. She bit in just the right spots and he growled every time she did it. Her lips were so warm on his body, her scent was unforgettable.

He was ready to explode. He needed to have her right now. She had teased him with the mouth for what seemed like hours. "Sookie, I'm going to take you now. I'm going to take you like you have never been taken before. I'm going to make you realize that you are everything to me. I am going to make you see that we are meant for each other. We are bonded, we are one. Your body will sing with appreciation." He promised and he meant it.

He grabbed her and laid her down, he wrapped her legs around his waist and tilted her pelvis towards the ceiling. He entered her and she shrieked with pleasure. He was slow and he was meticulous. He knew how to hold her just the right way. He rocked her in such a seductive motion. He bent down and kissed her. He did not move his eyes away from hers. She ran her tongue over his fangs. She bit his lip and tasted the thick liquid.

"Hungry are you." He growled. She could tell how much this had turned him on. His speed had increased. She smiled at him as he licked his lip. Again, she could feel her pleasure mounting. He was rubbing her inside in just the right way. He suddenly stopped and pulled out, he grinned at her. She thought she was going to die from the void. He waved a long finger in front of her face and shook his smirking head. "Not yet lover, I am not near done with you." His breath was cool in her ear. With zero effort he had lifted her up and swung her over his body. She was straddling him with him perfectly positioned underneath her. He slid inside her again and she melted into the joy. She reached down and kissed his chest while she rocked on top of him. She bit at his nipple as he moaned deeply.

"lover, if I didn't know better I'd guess you were trying to make me come so you could enjoy your own release." She smiled coyly and kept up the motion. She dragged her tongue over his shoulders as the muscles flexed while he gripped her hips. He was loving the way she felt and she knew he was ready to let go. The thought of his climax was exciting her. He kissed her breasts and he grazed her neck with his fangs. Again, he felt her pleasure building. It was too late to turn back, he felt his own too. He rocked her body and their eyes met.

"My lover", he moaned.

"My lover," she replied.

They reached the end together. They each screamed each others name, the release was healing. She collapsed on to his chest, her blond hair flowing over his muscles. He rubbed her back and stroked her hair. As she laid there with her head on his silent chest she simply whispered, "That was amazing".

His chest rumbled with laughter, "I must agree". He kissed her hair and held her.
