A/N: Sadly I still do not own True Blood or any of its characters or even the Sookie Stackhouse novels. Oh woe is me

It's been two days… Two days since I fled my home and family… Two days since I found myself in Eric's arms for the first time… And two days since I rejected Bill

The sun just started to rise when I pulled up to my house. Even though it was daylight I was still afraid of Bill and what he could do. He was only a minute away compared to Eric. Before I left Fangtasia and my lover's arms he had promised me I would be safe, but I just was not so sure. I had never seen Bill like that before, it frightened me, but I know it was probably just because of my betrayal the Bill I knew would never do or say any of those things. I just tried to put it all out of my mind in the words of Scarlett O'Hara "I won't think about that now I'll think about that tomorrow." All I needed was sleep I wouldn't have to worry about work for a while since Sam told me I could come back whenever I was better of course drinking Eric's blood had fully healed me, but I wasn't mentally ready yet. I walked in the front door which I still found strange from time to time not seeing Gran in the kitchen making something when I would come home. It felt like someone had my heart in between their hands and was squeezing all the life out of it any time I thought of her. Only one other time I have felt that kind of pain before and it was a couple of days ago when I saw Bill bite into Eric's arm even though it healed quickly I spent the rest of that night and the following morning crying about it. I know I wanted to cry more, but I just didn't have any more tears left for anything, I needed rest… Undisturbed rest.

I tossed and turned in my bed all day being constantly woken up by any little sound I heard even if I knew what it was. When I was finally able to fall asleep around 3pm I had a nightmare the most horrible one you could ever think of. I was locked up underground somewhere and Rene was there, like in most nightmares I couldn't do or say anything. Rene looked over at me and smiled "Is this the one you love?" he moved to the side so I could see Eric hanging from the ceiling with his wrists and ankles tied with silver. I tried as hard as I could to call out Eric's name or shout profanity at Rene, but I couldn't I was just in the audience now. Rene picked up a five foot stake and smiled back over at me. I was finally able to scream when I felt someone grab me from behind I kept saying over and over again "Let me go I have to kill Rene he's going to…" and in that moment I heard the sweetest voice I could ever imagine.

"Think you basically already got the job done already, lover"

It was Eric, my Eric and he wasn't hurt. I threw my arms around his neck and did not ever want to let go again. Eric picked me up like Rhett Butler does to Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind, then he sat down on the bed with me still in his arms. He kissed my lips gently and worked his way down to my jaw line and to my neck, when he realized I was crying he stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I'm just so glad you are here"

"Where else would I be?"

"Shreveport… or underground where Rene could torture you…"

"As for Fangtasia Pam is more than capable at handling things for me there, she keeps the men and women entertained… As for being tortured the only torture I am willing to go through is if you are my torturer."

He held me a little while longer before he laid me down on the bed kissing where he had left off before. I slightly moaned as his hand gently brushed in between my thighs while his lips were kissing in between my breast, but after I moaned all of mine and his clothes were gone in a split second. Before he continued he raised himself up and watched my naked body shudder under his touch as his thumb caressed my lips down my neck in between my breast down my stomach to my thighs. When he got there he pushed my legs apart and continued to watch me move uncomfortably. When I sat up he raised one eyebrow assuming I was trying to leave.

"No one has ever stared at my naked body for so long before."

"I am soaking it all in lover so when we have to be apart I can remember each curve to your body and each individual sound you make to certain embraces"

In that moment I felt more beautiful and loved so much more than I ever have with any one person before. I lay back down to let him continue his little ritual. He moved my legs apart once more and rubbed his thumb with a tiny bit of pressure against my wet fold. I closed my eyes and arched my back into his touch I knew his eyes were on my face now. His other hand caressed my breast slightly pinching the nipple to make it hard. His thumb slid inside me applying a little more pressure as it massaged the sides. I gasped and opened my eyes to find he was still staring at me with a smile so amazing I couldn't even find the words to describe it. He leaned down to my left breast and sucked for a little bit, when his teeth retracted he stopped to raise his head, but I just moved my hand on top of his long blonde hair letting him know I wanted him to bite me I wanted to feel that ecstasy. When he bit down I screamed in pleasure, he removed his thumb and started to massage my other breast I took his hand and bit down on his thumb drawing blood. There was something so sensual about the taste of his blood I just couldn't get enough. I heard a moan escape from his lips as I did this and without raising his head his hard member was inside of my wet entrance. He wrapped his other arm around my waist and lifted me up and moved me against the wall the whole while I was still sucking blood out of his thumb and he kept sucking blood from my left breast. He started moving his hips faster and harder knowing that we were both near our climax. I wrapped my arms around his head moaning "Eric" louder with each thrust he made into me. He made three more slow, hard thrust with the last one we both screamed and release at the exact same moment. With him still in me he walked me back over to the bed the whole time neither one of us looking away from the others eyes. When he laid me down he gazed at my body one more time before he laid down this time it seemed as though my whole body blushed under his eyes. I could tell he liked that and wanted to keep watching me, but instead he laid back down and wrapped me in his arms.

"How was that?"

"Perfect more then I could ever imagine"

He flashed me a huge grin with that answer his fangs still retracted. He looked over at the clock and his smile faded.

"I have to leave soon lover. The sun rises in an hour"

"I don't want to be away from you"

"I'm sorry I want to stay, but I can't"

"Take me with you I don't care where you sleep even if its in a coffin I need to be near you."

His smile came back this time I flashed him a smile as well. After we got dressed he wrapped his arms around my waist as it was almost time to leave.

"Are you sure?"

I just laid my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around his neck I was going no matter what. Before we left he brought his lips close to mine whispering "I love you Sookie Stackhouse" into them.
