She looked at her souvenir photo of the two of them riding the roller coaster as they walked down the street. Eric had his hand on the small of her back and guided her along the sidewalk.
"You're happy." He observed.
"So are you." She elbowed him playfully.
They strolled in silence for a while watching the people and the lights of the city. Eric laced his fingers with hers and tugged gently on her arm to get her to stop walking. They were in front of the Bellagio fountains. The lights and water danced in front of them. Sookie leaned against his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. He bent to kiss the top of her head, then her ear and finally gently trailing a few kisses along her neck.
"I love you." He whispered against her ear. She turned to face him and gave him a soft kiss on his lips.
"I love you, too."
My chosen. He thought, knowing she would 'hear' him.
Mmm,
I like that.
He turned
her in his arms until she was facing him. He looked into her eyes
for a moment and she saw the determination.
"Eric?"
"Sookie…." He slid his hands down her arms and took her hands in his. Her eyes widened as he dropped to one knee and looked up at her. Eric couldn't help the chuckle rumbling through his chest at the stunned look on her face.
OH MY GOD! Is he doing what I think he's doing?! What are you doing?!
"Sookie Stackhouse, my lover, my chosen, my fated, would you be my wife?"
YES! YES! YES! Oh shit!
Eric shook his head and laughed as she stood with her mouth hanging open and a pale face. She was gasping for breath and still hadn't spoken.
"You really need to say it out loud, lover."
"Ye…Yes." She stuttered and flung herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. They barely noticed the small crowd applauding politely.
Sookie and Eric walked hand in hand back the hotel. Eric barely made it through the hotel suite door before Sookie had him by the neck kissing him. She thrust his suit jacket from his shoulders and started fumbling with the buttons of his dress shirt. He chuckled into her kiss at her impatience.
What's your rush?
We're engaged! I'm so excited! We're getting married! I'm going to screw you six ways toSunday!
HA! That sounds like fun.
Oh it will be. She fumbled with his belt buckle and growled into his chest as she sucked his nipple in her mouth.
"Viking. Naked. Now." She demanded and pushed him toward the bed. He obliged and pulled the shirt from his chest. Buttons flew to all corner of the room and Sookie started to giggle. She toed off her shoes and started pulling her clothes from her body, refusing to let his mouth leave hers for more than a moment. Eric erupted in laughter as she hopped on one foot to get her skirt untangled from her feet. She started to laugh at her self as they stood at the foot of the bed.
"We're getting married." She said as she pushed against his chest so he would sit on the bed.
"Yes."
"Husband and wife." She straddled his waist and started to plant soft kisses on his face.
"Yes."
His trailed his fingers up and down her back.
"Mrs. Eric
Northman."
"Yes."
"The
old ball and chain."
"Yes." He chuckled as she captured his mouth again. She shifted her hips causing a wonderful amount of friction. He tightened his grip and flipped them over. He settled between her knees and felt that she was already wet with desire. He pushed slowly in to her and moaned.
"I love you." She whispered into his ear before taking his earlobe between her teeth. As she traced her tongue along the outside of his ear, he increased his rhythm.
"Ngggg, I love it when you do that."
"I know." She hitched her knees higher and changed the angle. Oh God! Like that! Harder!
You want it a little rough, don't you, lover?
Yes! More!
He grabbed her hips and flipped her on her stomach. His arm quickly circled her waist and pulled her to her knees. He pounded back into her again and she screamed at the sensation.
"You like this?" He asked as he gripped her hips and pulled her back to him.
"Yes…ye…yes…." She panted as she clutched at the comforter in an effort to keep herself anchored to earth.
"You're magnificent. A goddess. You've made me the envy of all men. You will be revered by all who owe me fealty." He grunted as he quickened his pace. He leaned forward and stroked her center. Sookie buried her face in the comforter and screamed as she slipped over the edge. Feeling her release through the bond and around his length, Eric soon followed. With a few short thrusts he collapsed against her back. She wiggled her butt to get him to move and he laughed as he rolled to his side.
"Wow." She panted with her face still in the comforter. He patted her behind and she started giggling.
