A/N: This chapter starts out as a recap of events in Eric's POV starting just before "the phone call" but I will try to make it quick and then of course leading up to the present day. Just wanted to point that out so there is no confusion.

Thanks for reading and keep reviewing. I love the feedback!

First Blood And Then Some

Eric POV

I was definitely enjoying myself with Sookie this evening. I would never have expected to find myself here in her bed tonight. Things were progressing nicely and I have no doubt how the evening would have ended if not for my damn phone!

When I left the room to return Pam's many calls, I was not a happy camper. She told me she couldn't talk but that I was needed immediately at the bar. I trust Pam and had no reason to question her on the subject, if she says it is very important then it is very important.

Now I am left with the task of saying good bye to Sookie, which I surely do not wish to but my business call and I must go. I certainly hope that this does not halt wherever it is that things seem to be going with us. There is just something about her.

I say my good byes and head back to Shreveport. On the way to my car I note that there is a very recent trace of Bill's scent again. I make a mental note to have Pam summon him to my office, I would rather question him first on the nature of their relationship before her. It is obvious she is not interested but why the hell does he keep hanging around.

Thirty minutes later I enter my office. Nothing seems amiss here at the bar, Pam is waiting on the couch in my office.

"What is the meaning of this Pam? what is wrong?"

"Do you really need to ask Eric?"

"Pam I am in no mood for guessing games, you interrupted me at the worst possible time. What is so damn important?"

"Well in a word Sookie!"

"I was with Sookie."

"I know, Amelia called. I am happy to hear that since you seem so happy when she is around, but you needed to take a step back Eric. Things are happening too fast, she is not a fangbanger!"

"Hold your tongue Pam, of course she is not and I would not treat her as such!"

"Have you forgotten that she is a virgin? Did you even consider how taking things too quickly could ruin everything? Do you want her to regret what happens? You need to slow down, she is different for you I can see that you are not only interested in a feed and a fuck from her."

"How can I forget that she is pure Pam, I smell it constantly. She was very agreeable to tonight's events, I assure you. I would never have her do anything she did not want to, you know this about me,"

"Of course I do Eric, but please tell me you can see my point here."

I thought about it for a few moments and realized that Pam is certainly correct. Even if Sookie very obviously wanted to be with me tonight that does not mean that she would not have regretted things moving too fast for her own liking.

Pam was right in slowing things down I think but she has really been pushing her luck with my patience lately. I think it looks like it's my turn to play.

"So are you telling me that you not only intentionally interrupted my pleasure, but you lied in order to get me here and away from Sookie? Is that what you are saying?

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. You would not have seen reason so quickly over the phone when you were about to get your dick wet." She looks me right in the eye as she says this, she is daring me to say she is wrong.

"Well what is it you like to say Pam, you have successfully cock blocked me for now anyway! You have denied your master his pleasure for the evening and you have lied to get me here. I feel I have no choice but to punish you…I will have to come up with something and let you know."

She seems surprised that I will be punishing her, I already know how and it is nothing big but I will let her worry over it a bit. She tortures me constantly with her teasing and taunting and her sarcasm when we are alone, she knows better then to do so in front of others.

"Also Pam, would you please contact Compton immediately and summon him here tomorrow night at 7:00pm sharp. I will not tolerate lateness. You may go."

"Yes Master, thank you." She called me master when we are alone, oh yes she is a little worried about her punishment!

************

I was certainly glad when dawn finally took me as I was spending much too much time thinking about the events at Sookie's house while alone in my bed. Her body was so warm, soft and inviting and her breasts, they are amazing. I laugh as I look down at my dick growing hard at my thoughts of her. Yes, she is very interesting indeed. She was my last thought before my rest and she was my first thought when I woke.

Bill was punctual of course, although a little agitated by my summons. Even more so when he realized I wanted to know why he kept hanging around Sookie. He just kept saying that she is special and should be protected. I started to wonder just who it was that wanted her protected.

"Is she under someone specifics protection Bill." I growled at him. I had just about had enough from him.

"Well not formally as you well know she has to be accepting of it for it to become official." He was starting to talk.

"Who sent you Bill?"

"My orders are to keep this quiet and only confirm what you may find out on your own, not offer anything new." He was truly pissing me off now, but I had to stay calm. I know when to use what tactic to get my info and with Bill it was to stay calm and talk.

"Well then I guess you can confirm that I believe it was the queen as anyone else sending you into my area and telling you to keep something from me, would only serve to see you meet your final death."

"Yes, see simple if I believe you already know then I can confirm. It's as easy as that."

"Does this gift of hers have anything to do with the Queen wanting to protect her?" I was not about to let him know that I was still unaware of this 'gift' Whatever what it was.

"Yes" He nodded

"Does she plan to try to take her?"

"I can not say but I will remind you that you know our Queen to be honest and good, doing only what is best for everyone as long it will not threaten herself."

"So then it would appear that the Queen would like her to go to her of her own free will?"

"Of course"

"I think that is enough for now Bill, I will be in contact, keep yourself available."

"Fine, good day."

Ok, so the Queen is interested in Sookie form some reason, I need to know what this gift is. It must be pretty big. Sookie is lucky that Queen Sophie Ann is more respectful of humans an tries to follow the law. If this were one of the many other kings or queens they would just take her.

I am not going to concern myself with this right away. I will give her a bit of time before I start tying to find out for myself, or at least before I start pressing for the information. The last thing I want to do is scare her off by pushing for information she does not want to give. Although I will see if Pam can get something out of Amelia, without her knowing what we are looking for of course.

My mind wonders back to last nights events and remember how soft and warm she was under my touch. She was so hot and wet for me when my hand found her centre. Just simply feeling her lips against mine are enough to drive me wild. I find myself staring across my office with what I am sure is biggest smile to ever grace my lips.

Suddenly I am brought back from my thoughts by the knowledge that someone else in the room. Sookie has obviously arrived for her shift and is standing in my door. She left me speechless for a moment, she looked amazing. She was fucking hot, she wore a red and black mini dress that tied up around her neck it dropped down between her beautiful breasts and clung perfectly to every last one of her sexy curves.

She left me speechless and I actually stammered when I finally realized I was sitting there slack jawed looking like an idiot. So decided to speak to her, I told her she of course looked delectable and made sure to apologize again for running out on her last night. 'Fucking Pam' She was right but I didn't have to like it.

I felt my dick swell when she took a seat on my couch and her skirt climbed up her leg to reveal her thigh high stockings and garter. 'Fuck' I groaned internally. We converse briefly before she cracks some joke about needing to get to work, she is on the clock now and isn't being paid to sit in my office talking to me. Personally I have no problem with that, she can stay in here and talk to me all night and I would still pay her.

When it was obvious that she was intending to leave my office, I didn't want her to go as she passed by me my hand reflexively reached up to stroke down her arm and I rested my hand on her and gently squeezed before going to stand by my desk again.

She smirked at me as her eyes caught a glimpse of my erection on her way out. She doesn't know just how sensitive my hearing is because I heard her laugh a little making a joke about how large my hard cock is.

I spent most of my night out on the floor. Probably more out of jealousy both loving and hating that hot little number of an outfit she chose for the evening. I convinced he to spend one of her breaks in my office which just lead to a little fooling around and my sporting another erection. I can not remember the last time I found myself hard so often, it's definitely quite frustrating wanting her so much.

At the end of the night I was finishing up some paper work and was reflecting on the evening when I remembered a comment she had made. Something about not wanting her co-workers to have anything to talk about by her spending time with me on her breaks.

That is not what bothered me it was when she said after that she had put up with it most of her life. I'll file that away for later consideration maybe it has something to do with her 'gift'. Although I don't really get it she seems quite normal for a human. With the exception of course being that she is forever a big part of almost every thought I've had since meeting her and I can't help but want her with every part of me.

I was again brought from my reverie by said girl/woman. I have to wonder if she will always be able to catch me off guard and surprise me so. She says she came in to say good bye but then invites me stop by her house when I am finished up. I finished up and was on my way about 20 minutes after Sookie left.

I was actually feeling nervous on my drive to Bon Temps, not for reasons one might think. I was nervous more about being able to refrain from being intimate with Sookie, it's not like I can avoid seeing her or being alone with her. I want and need to spend time with her in order to get to know her and move to that next step.

I sound like a fucking pussy inside my own head. Shit what the hell kind of hold does this woman have on me! Pam would have some real fun if she could hear these thoughts. One thing for sure is that I am not use to having feelings like this. Sure I am certainly attracted to her sexually but it so much more then that.

I arrived at Sookie's to find her house in darkness, with the exception of the fact that I could tell she a fire lit in her living room. Again my dick twitched at the thought of Sookie curled up in front a fire. This was getting ridiculous, down boy down. I was attempting to will away my erection before knocking on her door.

When she answered the door she had managed to surprise again as she had obviously showered her damp hair hung down over her shoulders. Shoulders I might add that were only covered by the tiny spaghetti straps of her red silk camisole that matched her little silk red short shorts that had a slit up each side. It was not going to take much to break my restraint tonight.

"Hey, come on in Eric. I was tying to brush out my hair you got here sooner then I would have thought. Your lucky, I've been out of the shower a few minutes now."

"Lovely" I groaned definitely going to be difficult "How was your shower?"

"Umm…it was nice."

As we walked into the living room, I couldn't help but leer at her as I spoke "Nice shower? Interesting. What exactly were you doing in there that made it so nice? I am curious," Her cheeks blushed crimson and I felt slightly better feeling like I was a little more like myself instead of the nervous ass I was becoming in her presence.

"Eric!" She tapped my chest with her index finger while feigning anger for my comment."

"Just let me know if you become too tired for company, ok? I don't want to over stay my welcome." I told her.

"Not to worry Eric, I'll kick your ass out if I need to get to bed!" She laughed softly

Just like the first night I brought her home for Pam we sat and talked for well over an hour, laughing and joking around. At some point during this we had ended up half sitting half laying against one end of her couch and I had her pulled into my side.

I was suddenly painfully aware that as she laughed and her chest would heave her breasts would brush against my side. Her breasts looked so silky soft and inviting and I once again felt my length expanding quickly trying to bust the zipper on my jeans.

I shifted and she couldn't help but notice my now uncomfortable state. She smiled at me and then leaned in to place a kiss on my lips and of course I reciprocated. Our kisses were lustful and hungry and our hands were searching each others bodies, grabbing and rubbing and massaging. She was grinding her crotch hard against my thigh.

Our moans were strangled cries of pleasure, as our kiss became more intense she moaned loudly and shifted till she was straddling my hips and my dick could feel the heat coming off of her hot centre as she began to slowly grind against me. I placed my hands on her hips to help set the pace which only made her grind down harder.

She began to kiss and suck at my neck as she reached between us tugging at my shirt, as soon as she had it raised above my chest she started to suck and nibble at each of my nipples.

"Bite a little Sookie…please?"

I was pleading with her at this point. She bit down above my nipple surprising me as she actually drew a little blood. All I could think for that split second was gods I have not even had her blood and here she is taking mine. Then shocking me as I felt her lips pucker and give a small suck at the wound.

A Whispered "Fuck" escaped my lips as my hands found her ass I started pumping her harder against me. I almost went over the edge when she pulled her head away from my chest and I seen a small drop of my blood trickle down her lip her tongue swirled around her lips taking in that last bit. I looked into her eyes and I knew at that second I was gone, I was in way over my head with this woman!

She sat up still grinding against me, I slid my hand up her thigh and under her little shorts and grunted when I found she was not wearing any panties. She was so far gone that when I pressed my thumb against her clit she dug her nails into the sides of my thighs and bit into her lower lip so hard she drew her own blood.

I yanked her face down to mine and sucked on her lip it was the smallest bit just a tease really but I couldn't let it go to waste, not one precious drop of it. My thumb dipped back down and traced circles around her clit, her body was convulsing against mine. She reached forward pulling at my shirt.

"I want it off now!" She growled it was the sexiest sound I ever heard.

I lifted my head and tugged my shirt over and off. At the same time she had undone my jeans and had my dick in her hands, she was stroking long and hard running her thumb over my tip using the liquid that had seeped out for better friction. I raised my hips so she could slide my jeans down my thighs for better access, and I ripped off her shorts.

She was so wet as my fingers finally entered her, she gasped loudly. I was sliding my fingers in and out slowly at first my thumb still pressing against her clit. She was still grinding hard her hips rocking against my fingers, taking them deeper. When I quickened the pace she whimpered and could no longer stroke my length.

She grabbed at my hips pulling herself forward. I could feel the heat on my throbbing member as she ground against me even more. Her slick warm walls were tightening around my fingers and I knew she was ready!

"Yes! Oh god…Eric! Yes, just like that don't stop please…I…I'm so close! God…so close!"

"That's it lover. Let it go. Cum for me!" I roared and thrust my fingers deeper as she spilled so hot and wet down my fingers. She came so hard I could feel her dripping onto my cock. Her body was still shaking as she climbed forward and leaned in to kiss me. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in.

I could feel her throbbing against my length, her libido still running rampant. She started to grind her naked centre along my equally naked cock and I felt it throbbing and swelling harder and larger then I think it's ever been. The moment I felt the 'almost penetration' as she adjusted herself mid grind sliding back down I pushed her away slightly, just enough to withdraw the very tip of my length which had entered.

I watched as her head snapped up and her eyes met mine, they were hungry but more then anything else they held such pain, hurt, sadness and disappointment. She never shed a tear but they were there in her eyes. I hated that in a fraction of a second I had caused that pain.

"Sookie I want you to be ready, I should never have let it go this far it was not my intention in coming here this evening. I don't want you to have any regrets."

"I have no regrets Eric, and I am ready. I want this."

"You've not known me long. You've had no time to consider what you are about to give, You have waited this long for a reason."

"I am a grown woman Eric, I have waited long enough and not for any reason you are thinking. I want this and I want it to be you…"

We held each others gaze for moment as she whispered "Please Eric."

She held my gaze seeing me waver. Then she did the most simplest thing in the world, she leaned down….and kissed me. And the world cracked open. It was the worlds most beautiful, powerful, sexy, dominating kiss I had ever been on the receiving end of. This one woman has brought me to my knees, figuratively speaking.

Never veering from her eyes I placed my hands at her hips raising her and gently set her at the tip of my length allowing for her to now set the pace. She lowered herself onto my length slowly, taking me in a little at a time. I had brought my hands around her and was just gently rubbing them up and down her back.

She had laid her hands palms down on my stomach bracing herself as she began sliding up and down slowly getting use to my size before taking me in fully, She was lightly panting then gasped loudly as she finally allowed all of me to enter.

The moment I had entered her fully a powerful wave of sheer ecstasy shot through my body, it was difficult to do nothing but gently rock my hips not wanting to hurt Sookie. She maintained her slow pace for a few minutes allowing her hot centre to expand and adapt to me.

I knew the moment it happened because her lust took over and she began to thrust her hips with great fervor, while breathy moans escaped her lips. I watched the rise and fall of her breasts as her breathing become more ragged and I knew she was ready for more.

Without separating our bodies I moved into a seated position against the end of couch and gently wrapped her legs around my waist. Her eyes widened at the intense closeness this position was allowing for, and our lips found each other again. Her lips are so full and soft and our tongues began exploring each others mouths. As she traced her tongue along my fangs I felt my cock expand again.

A throaty moan escaped my mouth and I knew I was close. "Your so wet for me Sookie, you feel so good!"

"OH. MY. GOD. Fuck Eric, yes it feels so good! Yes, yes…oh god yes!"

"Shit! Oh fuck…yes, Ungh…cum with me lover!"

"oh yes, yes, yes…I am gonna cum Eric! Bite me please, I want you to bite!"

I leaned her back for better access to her breasts and licked and kissed at her nipple before biting down just above and took one long draw of her sweet blood. We went over the edge together, clutching at each other as we came. I leaned in and lightly placed a kissed on her forehead.

A few moments later we sat still in the same position not having removed myself from her centre, she leaned into my ear and whispered "Thank you"

"No, thank you, you were exquisite lover."

We fell back against the couch holding each other in silence. There was no need for words. After a short while I picked her up and brought her to bedroom where I held her in my arms as she drifted off for a short while. When woke she reached up with her tongue and started to lick and kiss at my neck.

"Are you trying to seduce me, lover?" I whispered sexily in her ear.

"I just want to have you in my bed" she moaned into my mouth placing soft kisses on my lips.

She didn't have to ask me twice. I rolled her on to her side with her back to me and began kissing down her back while I massaged her mound with my thumb. I slipped two fingers into centre making sure she was ready for me and yes was.

I lifted her leg and pulled back over mine and guided her upper body slightly forward as I entered her from behind. I continued to rub her mound while thrust in and out of her. She began rotating her hips and panting I could tell she was already close. She whimpered as I pulled out of her reaching her hands back around my ass trying to pull me in.

I whispered "Roll over lover, on you back"

I kissed her lips and made my way down her jaw past her neck to her breasts. I placed open mouthed kisses across her nipple and pinched and pulled at the other with my fingers. She continued to grind against me as I worked my way back up to her neck, then back to her lips.

"Your so beautiful Sookie."

"I need you Eric, I need to feel you in me now!"

I placed my length at her entrance and thrust into her. She wrapped her legs around my hips digging her heels in to me. She wanted so much more this time, she was meeting me thrust for thrust yelling out "harder, harder, more Eric!" and I gave it to her pounding into her as our lips crashed together. I grabbed a handful of her hair and yanked her head back arching her throat as I licked and nibbled at her throbbing vein.

She slid her hands down to my ass and was squeezing and massaging while pulling me deeper into her centre.

"Oh yes baby, yes please don't stop, don't ever stop! Oh god yes…yes!"

Her nails were clawing at my ass and up my back, she ran her fingers through my hair. I ran my tongue across her lips before entering her mouth. I can tell she is ready again, her body is slamming against me and she is practically convulsing as I feel her centre closing around me and she is getting warmer and wetter.

"Lover, your so tight, and wet. you feel amazing!"

I slam into her a few more times, I lift one of her legs allowing me deeper penetration. We are both yelling out each others names, her breathing is laboured now and she as moaning deeply.

"Oh Eric, mmm yes, you feel so good in me! Oh yes…aahhh Oh god, I'm gonna cum right now!"

I bite into her breast again drinking her delectable blood and bringing us both to our completion together. I roll us to our sides so we can continue to hold each other for a few moments. She reaches around and is massaging my ass again.

"You know your ass is my favourite part you, I love it!"

I burst out in a thundering laugh and look her in the eye…I might have thought you would say something else like this. I say as I take her hand in mine and place it over my cock.

"Well I love that too, it's certainly adequate but I'm sorry your ass is to die for!"

"Adequate, your calling this adequate?" I say as I place my hand over hers still resting on my length and squeeze.

"Ok so it's definitely more then adequate, let's call it a….'gracious plenty' is that better?"

That of course insights another bout of laughter and she cups my cheek with her tiny hand and says

"If every word I say could make you laugh just like that…I'd talk forever. Your even more beautiful when you laugh. Your eyes light up and there's just such a warmth about you."

Right then and there I want to fuck her again…she is the sweetest thing. Only I must be leaving.

"You're the beautiful one Sookie, not me. I hate to say it but dawn will soon be here I really have to go."

She just says ok as kiss her before getting dressed and heading back to Shreveport.

"I'll see you tonight lover…have a great day." I say leaning down to kiss her good bye. I notice the sadness in her eyes again. I can only guess that she doesn't want me leaving just yet. I hated to leave but I was already pushing it close to dawn.

I made it home with maybe half an hour to spare.

A/N: Ok so I gave in and let it happen even though it may be a little soon for them, but Sookie just wasn't letting Eric so no…what's a man to do!

A/N: Just wanted to say that I hope I captured the moment ok, with it being her first time I didn't want to go too far with it. I wanted there to still be a sweetness involved for Sookie, but obviously still nice and lemony!
