Chapter 2
As Eric knocked at the door on the following day, he was quite unsure of the reception he would have. He had instructed Gary the man he usually hired for construction works and security arrangements to take care of Sookie's home ASAP and Gary knew what ASAP meant for Eric.
Once he parked his Corvette, he barely managed to cross the yard with all the workers and the materials spread all over the place. The house and the driveway were in so poor shape, that there was no time to lose.
Sookie opened quickly, dressed in the most exquisite long virginal dress made of a white diaphanous fabric. As he contemplated her, his thoughts wandered. Sookie didn't look like Wanda at all, his childhood friend but he couldn't avoid remembering her with this dress. Wanda was not only a childhood friend; it was the first woman he had made love to. He hadn't thought of her for centuries, only Sookie brought back those memories.
Sookie frowned deeply, and as they locked eyes with each other, she couldn't maintain her evil look at him as he smiled mildly at her and her face brightened with warmth.
"Hi, dear one," he began tentatively in his seductive voice.
"Oh, you!" she replied taking him by the sleeve of his light blue shirt and pulling him into the house.
Since he was in her personal space, she rose up on her toes and crushed her lips on his. Am I dreaming or is she going commando? She doesn't want to skip her big night it seems – fine, I can definitively help her here and the restraint can go to hell!
From the kitchen, Gran's voice made herself heard: "Sookie, has your date arrived?"
"Yes, Gran, Eric's here." She answered catching her breath.
Gran appeared at the entrance of the kitchen smiling. Sookie broke away a little from Eric's embrace and introduced them. Eric could notice how sweet this old lady was toward him. He understood even better Sookie's fondness of her grandmother.
"Please, have a seat; I'd like to have a talk with you before the two of you leave."
"Thank you ma'am." Sookie and Eric took the couch in the living room holding hands like a teenage couple on a prom night ; Gran seated in the armchair.
"Would you like a drink or something to eat, young man?"
"No, ma'am, thank you. I don't think you'd enjoy seeing me drink nor eat." He smirked.
Gran coughed shifting. "Sure, Sookie told me of your nature, silly me. I should pay attention before acting by habit."
"I assume, you'd like to talk about the works." He helped her.
"You've guessed well. Sookie told me you've planned all this." Adele emphasized her words by making a gesture toward the window to show where the noises came from.
"I have to admit that I'm afraid that Sookie could be in danger because of the crimes and … maybe because of me."
"For the crimes, I can figure out but for you, I don't see the reason. Sookie told me you own a club."
"As a matter of fact, I have a powerful status among my race and if any enemy knows about Sookie, it will be very easy for him to reach me by targeting her."
"Did you know about this?" A worried Gran inquired Sookie.
"Not really, Eric told me about his rank in vampire hierarchy but I hadn't foreseen the implications, Gran, I assume that he is telling us this beforehand so that we will accept the work being done on the house, right, Eric?" She asked smiling.
"And does it work so far?"
"It's truly embarrassing, because we'll never be able to pay you back." Gran said.
"You don't have to feel indebted toward me, since your lives are threatened because of my kind." He insisted.
"But why the hurry, the workers told us that they'll work in several teams, making pause only between 10 pm and 7 am."
"Because Sookie is not only a target for the murderer but as long as we keep seeing each other, unfortunately that also make her a target for other people."
"How do you feel about that Sookie?"
"I'm embarrassed Gran, but on the other hand, Eric acts only for my safety and not for a disguised purpose, aren't you?"
Eric felt he was approaching a dangerous ground; of course he wanted protection for what will be his most valuable asset! In this case "asset" took on so many meanings:, telepath, lover, the most wonderful breasts, mine, future bonded. The sheriff would pick only one, of course. But the man hid in the vampire…
"If we are all agreed, I suggest that we take our leave with your grandmother" He cut the discussion short by rising from the couch, taking Sookie with him.
"Of course, have a nice evening and thanks again Eric."
"You're welcome, I'm delighted to meet the woman who taught all her good manners to Sookie and I'm looking forward to seeing you again." He nodded. Gran blushed.
"Feel free to come back anytime."
Eric made the fastest speed ever recorded between Bon Temps and Shreveport that night, Sookie reminded him that only human could stand on the line of Daytona so there was no point in practicing. Nonetheless, Eric went on and they soon arrived in the same area as the ice cream parlour where several renovated low buildings stood.
Suddenly, a garage door opened and Eric parked his Corvette near what it seemed to be a small brand new Volvo.
They left the garage through a side door as the garage door closed behind them and headed down a staircase. Eric opened and closed a very common first door, the second was more awkward: prints, retina and voice scans were needed to open.
Finally, they entered a basement loft and Sookie appreciated at once the open space allowing all the rooms that were usually separated in a house to be on the same level. All pieces of furniture displayed were modern and comfortable with raw brick walls. In front of the couch on the right stood a fireplace, in the middle of the space a pool was installed and in the back near the king super sized bed was a jacuzzi and a shower.
"It's your bachelor apartment?" she asked teasing.
"Yes and no. You are the only woman who had come here but here you will have your every desire fulfilled." He replied in his sultriest voice."
"Mmm, I like this perspective." She answered but at the same time he could see she was worried, shy maybe?
"Would you like to have a drink?"
"Sure, do you have a gin and tonic?"
"Of course, if you want to see me prepare it, it's this way," he showed her the kitchen on the left, "or if you want to wait comfortably you can go on this couch," showing the first one in front of the fireplace, "or on this one," showing another one nearly hidden on the back right in front of a large flat screen and a stereo system.
"You like to give me choices?"
"Exactly"
"I'll take the first option. And watch that beautiful body of yours." She smiled licking her lips.
"Stop it unless you don't want your cocktail."
"I want both."
"You'll have to be very nice with the skilled bartender."
"Oh I will" She pulled her hair on her left side for him and bared her neck tohim. Eric was completely salivating. He hadn't said his last word and began to unbutton his shirt nonchalantly, Sookie's response was immediate, she raised her hand to touch him. In a blur, he was gone behind the counter of the kitchen to fix her order, his chest fully bared.
Sookie's eyes were on fire as she approached the stool. Eric and her drink was waiting for her on the counter, we could say that because the top of Eric's body was fully offered as well, with his two arms stretched both ways for her to contemplate his magnificent pecs.
She drank dutifully never leaving his ice blue eyes. "Very good, indeed."
"Anything else?"
"Yes, I need you to touch me"
"As my lady wishes."
In a flash, Eric was behind her stool, his hands brushing her body from neck to lap, kissing her on the neck, while a hand stayed on her upper body, taking great care of her breasts, his other hand moved slowly lower to lift the soft white fabric.
"I want you Sookie," he whispered, "I've never wanted someone so much."
"Take me" she moaned. He unzipped her dress, not wanting to ruin it in his hurry.
She climbed down the stool to help him and soon appeared completely naked in front of him. I will never get tired of seeing this woman, my woman.
"You're gorgeous. Maybe you could help me in joining you?" he tried to reassure her noticing her lack of self confidence once she lost her clothes.
She unbuttoned his jeans slowly and looked uneasy, staring down his waist. "What's the matter Sookie?"
"Your length is… big, isn't it?" she explained, her cheeks becoming redder and redder.
"In my case we could say it's proportional, yes. Finish it please and you will check it with your eyes, your touch and any part you want to." She took care of his boots before his jeans, and could see the shaft unveiled.
She was gasping, ever red as a fire truck.
"Look at me in the eyes lover." Eric chuckled.
"I need another gin and tonic."
