First Blood And Then Some
Sookie POV
So it was another late morning for me, seems I am keeping the hours of the dead already. The sweet smell of bacon, sausage and coffee are drifting into my room. Oh boy that can only mean one thing, Amelia is waiting for me! She will be so full of questions.
I feel wonderful, the problem being that I want more. So much more, god I can still feel those long strong fingers pleasuring me. I lay in bed for a few more minutes and I just know I have my crazy Sookie smile plastered across my face.
A knock at my bedroom door brings me. Amelia pushes my door open just enough to slide her arm through waving a cup of coffee through the air. "Ok, ok. I'm coming Amelia. Give me a minute."
"K, hurry though before your food and coffee get cold." I could hear the excitement in her voice and just knew she was gonna pounce on me.
I threw my housecoat on and sauntered out to the kitchen . She placed a plate of bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast plus a glass of orange in front of me. We were half way through our food when she finally spoke. "Come on Sookie, spill!"
"There's not much to spill Amelia" I said innocently
"Don't give me that crap" she was trying to hold back her laughter "What do you think I suddenly went blind. I know what I seen last night Sookie, now spill. Is tall, blond and gorgeous all he looks to be?!" Amelia's eyes were begging me to tell all.
"I thought you didn't see anything…huh?" I tried to hold my lips steady and not crack a smile. I'd had enough time to get over my embarrassment, well mostly anyway. I suppose seeing Eric agsin tonight will be the real test.
"Sookie! Please…I tell you everything and let's face it how often have you had something like this to share! Give me something…is his um… package comparable to the rest of him?"
"Amelia!" I feigned being appalled by her question. " If you must know Amelia, yes. Absolutely yes and it scares me." I sighed "but I so want him, all of him!"
"What! You never…you know? But I heard you go in your room and he never left for a long while after."
"Well we did everything but, and it was amazing! The only thing that stopped us I think is that his damn phone kept going off. After he called whoever it was back he had to leave."
"No! He did not. What did he say, how could he go right in the middle of that? I mean what little I was privy to seeing" She couldn't help but smirk at that. "seemed pretty hot and heavy, I would…I don't know but I'd be pretty pissed!"
" I know, and I probably should be but I was so nervous Amelia. I think I prefer that it didn't go quite that far just yet. I certainly enjoyed myself, and he is nothing if not a god. He's perfect and that scares me." I practically whispered that last part.
" I can't wait to see him though, although I think it best if I just play it cool, you know. I won't ignore him or anything but I am not going to be any different with him then anyone, I don't want anyone to know. Especially not Pam I'll never hear the end of it!"
"Uh…well she might already know that he was you know…um here." Amelia kept her eyes on her plate when she said this.
"Amelia! What the hell?"
"Sookie, you know we have just been waiting and dying to see this happen. She told me she has never seen Eric like this, and she was so afraid he would mess things up. I'm sorry, I was just so excited for you!"
"Great, that's just going to make it that much harder to go to work tonight." I left Amelia thinking I was pissed at her. I would let her stew for a bit before telling her that I was not quite as bothered as I let on. Pam would know soon enough anyway.
Amelia had set about doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen. She sent me to grab a quick nap knowing That I needed to get through another late night tonight.
I slept much longer then I had intended, it was after 6:00 pm when I woke and that left me less than an hour. I had to be at work for 8:00 and I highly doubt that showing up late the first night after fooling around with the boss would look good.
I had to chuckle at my own thoughts as it shouldn't be so much the showing up late the night after part but the actual act of fooling around with the boss that just does not look good!
I was ready in no time. Thank god this was one of those nights that everything went well. My hair was perfect with just a quick blow dry and few magical hair products, it cascaded smoothly over my shoulders. My make up went on perfectly in minutes even my smoky eyes look. Plus you gotta love it when the first outfit you try on is perfect.
I wasn't surprised when I was on my way out the door and Amelia called out to me that she would see me around 11:00 something about Pam inviting her. I mumbled something about not having any doubt that they were both making sure they had front row seats.
Well the joke is them cause neither one will get see Eric's initial reaction to my outfit. Pam would be on front door duty and I'm sneaking in the back employee door.
I made it to Fangtasia in record time. I still had ten minutes before my shift started and Eric's corvette was right where it should be. As much as I wanted to sit in my car and take a much needed few minutes to relax, I really didn't have the time if I wanted to see Eric for a few minutes.
I made way through the back door noticing that Eric's office door was open. It made my stomach jump and my heart miss a single beat, I took a deep breath and tried casually to lean against his door frame.
He hadn't even heard me approach he sat behind his desk staring at the black leather couch that sat across from it. I don't know what he was thinking about he was sporting one of his signature shit grins. I waited for a moment and still nothing. So I decided to make my presence known.
I cleared my throat before I spoke "Penny for your thoughts"
I think I startled him somewhat as he flinched before responding. For the second time since I met him he sat with his mouth slightly open as he took in my outfit. The first being when I gifted him with my still wet panties. I felt the corner of my lip lift at that thought, then I purposely let a small shy smile form across my face.
His eyes so obviously filled with lust widened and he absently licked at his lips. " SSSookie, you look delectable!" He stammered, yes I made Eric Northman stammer!
"Oh, why thank you Eric. I was running late so I just through on the first thing I pulled out of the closet. I am assuming it is ok for work, right?" Feigning true naivety as I spoke.
"Perfectly" It came out as a low guttural moan. He stood and walked to the front of his desk. "Please come in" His eyes followed me intently as I crossed the room. I purposefully took a seat on the coach knowing the motion of sitting lower would make the gem of my dress would rise above my top of my thigh highs and garters.
This time his eyes bulged and he literally growled. Knowing he had been caught he spoke rather freely. "I think I will end up having to spend my entire evening fending men off of you Sookie, I must say you look good enough to eat! With that said I must also apologize once again for having to run off on you last night, I would much rather have spent the rest of my night with you."
"Eric, I told you it was ok. I know and understand that you have many responsibilities that include much more then just your bar. Really it was fine. I hardly expect you to drop everything because of a few heated moments with me." Oh he was eating it up, he didn't know what to think. One look in his eyes told me he had many things he would like to say and yet at the same time nothing. it's like he wanted me to have the upper hand here.
TOO LATE! The upper hand is mine once again. This little game we seem to play with one another surprising excites the hell out of me.
"Well I believe I am on the clock now and I don't believe I am being paid sit here decorating your couch." I said jokingly and stood to leave his office. As I walked past him he reached out and ran his finger tips from my shoulder down my arm. Stopping to squeeze my hand before turning away from me.
I let out a rather breathy sigh almost frozen in place. Torn between walking out the door and jumping his fine ass right then and there. He has no idea what the simplest touch from him does to me. I finally regained my composure and started leave his office, I turned to say I would see him later when I couldn't help but notice he was now sporting what has to be the worlds largest erection.
I let out a small giggle as I caught myself whispering "Somebody call Guinness, we have a new world record!" while I walked down the hall to the bar area.
The bar was pretty busy for the first few hours. I never even noticed Amelia sitting at the bar until after midnight. Of course I was constantly aware of Eric and all the damn fangbangers who would stay away from, that probably contributed to why I had not seen Amelia until now.
"Amelia! Hey girl. Have you been here long?"
"Hmm, about an hour or so. You seem pretty busy!"
"Yeah really, it's insane. I've already gotten over a hundred bucks in tips! I can't believe it."
"What did you expect in that outfit! I thought for sure it would take a while to get you to wear some of those more bold outfits we found for ya! You look hot, and I notice that Eric has barely taken his eyes off of you since I got here."
"Yes, well you should have seen his reaction in his office when I first got here!" We just smirked at each other.
While I made my rounds and cleared my tables I silently praised myself for a job well done. Choosing the right outfit and all. I remember when Tara first showed it me. I liked it immediately. It is a Contrasting Halter Mini Dress that comes to mid thigh, it is red across the chest and down the centre with black fishnet overlay covering the red. The sides and attached belt that sits right below my breast line are black.
As I walked away from my last table I noticed Eric gesturing for me to come over to him. I nodded and raised one finger to tell him to give me a minute so I could clear off my tray. I headed over to Eric's 'throne' to see what he needed.
"What can I do for you Eric?" I smiled maybe just a little suggestively as I asked him.
"I just wondered if you would do me the honour of accompanying me for a break. You have not had one in quite a while." It seemed like more of a statement then anything but I still answered him.
"Sure, why don't I meet you in your office I just want to have Ginger cover my section. Ok?"
"I would rather wait for you, as you seem to have captured the eyes of many admirers this evening."
"Eric, I can take care of myself thank you very much. I would also much rather that not everyone notices me taking my breaks with you." His eyes flashed with a look that seem to consist of a mixture of hurt, anger and maybe a little confusion.
"Fine, whatever you wish" He gave me a look and headed for his office.
After letting Ginger know that I was taking a break and she needed to take care of my section I headed for Eric's office. He had left the door open a crack so I let myself in and before I managed to close the door behind me, Eric was in front of me and I was pressed against the door. He had taken both my wrists and was holding them together just above my head while he cradled my jaw with his free hand.
"Are you embarrassed to be seen leaving with me?" He hissed in my ear. There were none of his usual endearments when whispering in my ear. He was pissed!
"Of course not Eric, but I am the new girl. The last thing I want is people talking, believe me I've lived with that most of my life and if I can do something to limit it I will." His seemed to soften as he understood that it was not so much about him.
"You have been very busy tonight, which surely is good for me financially but I have hardly seen you. At least not as I would like." He whispered as he nipped at my ear.
I turned my head to catch his lips as he pulled away from my ear. I have missed those lips all day and night and needed to feel them against mine. Our lips melted into one another as though they were made only for us alone, as Eric released my hands they immediately made their way around his neck and into his hair. He was pressed up against me and when I tugged at his hair pulling him closer I felt his dick twitch against me.
My heart was racing as our his tongue found mine. He grasped at my hips pulling me into him , my body was grinding hard against his erection. As our kiss intensified tenfold I moaned into his mouth and found my right leg had involuntarily began rubbing up his thigh. He brushed his hand up the thigh of my raised leg and stopped briefly at my garter and squeezed gently.
He grunted before telling me "You have no idea what you do to me!"
I was moaning and panting heavily as his hand slid further up my leg and under my dress, he began massaging my backside. "Oh god Eric…uhhh" I pulled away letting out a very shaky breath.
He gently placed one last soft kiss on my lips and released me as he backed away. "I am sorry Sookie, I know you are working. Forgive me."
My head fell back against the door as I inhaled deeply and released it trying to catch my breath. "Me too, it's not like I was helping any" We both laughed for a moment, then I remembered that I have not seen Pam at all.
"Where has Pam been Eric? I Haven't seen her all night!"
"Pam forgets her place sometimes. She likes to goad me and sometimes she needs a reminder so she is being punished" He smiled smugly, I think he seen the fear in my eyes so he continued to explain. "Don't worry Sookie, it's nothing. She hates working the door and will use any excuse possible to get away from it for a while. I merely made it clear that she is not to leave the door tonight."
"Oh" I say still not quite happy, but I know he has a job to do. He has to keep face especially with his own kind.
As much as I hate hearing about punishments I feel better knowing that it is something like this. Based on his smirk I am beginning to think that there is some humour to be found in whatever she has been punished for.
"I really need to get back Eric."
"Yes, let's get back out onto the floor." He placed a kiss on my cheek and then ushered me from his office. He had placed his hand on the small of my back and I felt myself press back against his hand. I moaned internally, god he drove me mad with every little touch.
The remainder of the evening went pretty quickly. Once the bar cleared out Eric excused himself and went to office saying he had a few things to take care of. I am pretty confident he had neglected these things in order to keep his eye on me after seeing my outfit.
Pam had come in and was sitting with Amelia. Once I finished with my section I joined them for a drink. I received a very approving glance from Pam as I took a seat. "Love your outfit Sookie!"
"Thanks Pam, what the hell did you do to be punished." I asked her and she and Amelia both laughed.
"It's no big deal Sookie, I would do it again. It really was nothing, Eric is just proving a point."
"Well you should to behave." I giggled knowing it was not very likely.
Amelia gave me a knowing look as Pam replied. " Not very often, but sometimes…sometimes I think it is important to step in and remind my master that he needs to take a step back and think. He truly hates it when I am right, that just makes it worse. Regardless though whether I am right or wrong I am over stepping my bounds when I question him."
"So you called him on something, and he admits you were right once he thought about it but he punishes you. How condescending! I would like to see him try that shit with me."
They both laughed quite hard at that. Then Pam continued to explain. "Sookie my punishment was in all honesty probably owed to me for many little things that Eric tends to let me away with when we are alone. This time however I did mislead him which in reality is lying but I truly believed it was for the best. Now it is done and everything is fine so let's not worry about it."
"Whatever it's your choice." I turned to Amelia and smiled "So should I expect you home tonight?"
"No, Pam has claimed me for the evening."
I just laughed gulped down the last of my drink and said my good bye's. I was tired and really wanted a cool shower. I told Amelia I would see her in the later and that I would do breakfast in the morning.
I poked my head in Eric's door "Do you have a minute?"
"Of course, come in"
"I just wanted to let you know I was taking off now, will you be here long?"
"No, I am just about done. You did well tonight, Chow mentioned you cashed in over $150 in tips. That is the highest we have ever seen. The crowd obviously approves of you, as do I."
"Well isn't that sweet." He laughs at my response.
I decide to take the bull by the horns I am feeling like he is not going to invite himself to visit. I had just been leaning against the wall by the door so I decide to walk over to him behind his desk. He just looks into my eyes while I brazenly run my hand through his hair then lean down and lightly place a kiss on his lips.
"If you have time you are welcome to drop by my place after you are done here" I tell him as I pull away, never losing eye contact. I want him to see that I really want him to come, that I am not just being polite.
"That sounds lovely, but are you sure you are not too tired for company?"
"I would not have invited you otherwise, I would like you to come."
"Well then how can I say no, I will be there. Would you like to wait and go together? I won't be long."
"No, no take your time. I would like to shower quickly so just come when you are ready."
"I'll be done in ten or fifteen minutes. I will see you there." He stands and pulls me in for one of his passion filled kisses. My knees are weak as he releases me.
"Ok" I tell him as I swallow hard. As I try to make my way to the car on my still weak knees I can only think 'God his kisses turn my bones to rubber."
On my ride home I decided that I think tonight will be the night. I have not known Eric long, but I trust him I really do trust him and I feel so much comfort with him. Of course I get nervous and my heart pounds but it is because I want him, I really do! No one has ever made me feel as he does. By the time I stepped out of the shower I knew 100% this would be the night!
