"Gracious sakes alive, Amelia." Sookie tossed a pillow at her head. "Are you frigging kidding me? Eric would flip if he heard you say something like that."
"Eric should be kissing my ass. I am going to fix his not so little problem." Amelia wiggled her eyes at Sookie. "I'll have that vampire sporting wood in no time."
"We don't even know if thats what the problem is Amelia." Sookie flopped back on her bed, trying not to disturb the container that held the ingredients for Amelia's spell. "Oh my God, what if he really just doesn't want me. Maybe I should just try spicing things up."
"Sookie come on girl," Amelia nudged her friend in the knee. "If he wasn't happy to see you last week in that hot little red number, then he definitely can't pop a woody."
"I don't know Ames. He was pissed that I was there." Sookie sat up, her eyes filling with tears. "Even when we have been mad as hell or hated each other, Eric has always wanted sex."
"Sookie I am telling you, he can't get it up. I mean come on. He is 1,000 years old. It was bound to happen sooner or later." Amelia reached for the box and examined the contents. Her fingers idly twirled around the blond silky strands she found inside. "No problem getting his hair I see."
"Nope, he left a brush here." Sookie bit her lip in apprehension. "Ames there's no adverse side effects of this, are there?"
"Sookie nothing bad is going to happen." Amelia slung an arm around her shoulders and gave her a tight squeeze. "We'll have that man rocking your world in no time flat."
"You didn't answer me Amelia." Sookie glared at her. "Out with it."
"There might be one small catch." Amelia pulled a lighter out of her bag and started lighting candles around the room. "," She shrugged her shoulders, "either way Sooks you'll be in the same boat your in now."
"No! I won't chance that." Sookie started cramming everything back in the box and blowing out candles. "I don't know how I let you talk me into this to begin with. Eric hates witches. Look what Hallow did. I won't do this to him."
"Good Lord, Sookie." Amelia tried to rescue some of the candles. She sat down on the floor blocking the remaining lit ones. "You have to trust me honey. Nothing bad is going to happen."
"Bob!" Sookie replied crossing her hands over her chest and glaring at Amelia.
"Oh that was one little mix up, which you and Octavia are never going to let me live down." Amelia huffed. "I am a much better witch now. Plus, you are the key ingredient Sookie."
"What do you mean?" Sookie sat down cross legged on the floor beside Amelia running her hands over Eric's strand of hair.
"Do you love him Sookie?" Amelia placed her hand on Sookie's shoulder when she started to bristle. "None of that now. Do you love him? No holds barred, all emotions in or nothing, love him?"
"I do love him but," Sookie was getting irritated. What the hell was Amelia going on about. She had more then proven her love for Eric. Hadn't she?
"No buts Sookie. Do you love the man? Or Vampire?"
"Yes!" She seethed. " I fucking love him, okay."
"Good." Amelia stood holding her hand out for Sookie. " For the spell to work, it must be cast by someone that is pure of heart and good intentions. Its going to work Sookie. Now then, lets get your mans swag back."
"Swag?" Sookie grasped Amelia's hand and pulled herself up, her nose crinkling in confusion.
"Oh Sooks, you are too funny girl. You are with the king of swag and you don't even know it." Amelia peeled off in a fit of laughter. "Start lighting the candles again and I'll get us set up."
Sookie circled the room lighting the candles again. She couldn't believe she was actually going to do this. But for Eric she was willing to do just about anything. Even this crazy spell that Amelia had cooked up. He was worth fighting for and if he wouldn't talk about what was going on, what other choice did she have. She refused to let him handle things alone like he always insisted on doing. The last time she didn't see him for almost three months.
Then at least, Pam or Eric had been in contact. Now it was an occasional call here or there. No random showing up in her bed to snuggle, or popping in her shower just to wash her back and convince her to have sex. It was like he was slipping away from her.
She knew in the back of her head that there was still a lot up in the air with De Castro and Madden. She did understand that Eric's back was against the wall with them. But they weren't even here. So that couldn't be it. Maybe Eric was in mourning over his maker. Although that didn't seem to be the case when he met his final death. He seemed excited.
She was really tired of trying to figure it out. Nothing was making sense. If he was slipping around on her, she would know it. The bond couldn't lie. He couldn't lie to her. Even though he had locked down the bond a time or two, he still couldn't lie when she asked him. Eric denied every time that he was seeing someone else.
She realized, for the most part he was treating her like a child. How many times over the last few months had he told her, no Sookie, not now Sookie, leave it alone Sookie. It reminded her of when she was little and Gran use to get onto her for being a brat. Thats how Eric was treating her like a spoiled brat.
Well no more. She wasn't having it. No siree. Eric had awakened the woman in her and it was about flipping time that he remembered that. If he couldn't get the gracious plenty to rise for the occasion, she would help him out. It wasn't that she missed sex so much as she missed him and the closeness she felt when they made love. Well okay, part of her missed the sex. Eric was a god and had made sure that he ruined her for any other man.
Giving up sex with Eric was like giving up the sun. She would wither without it. They both warmed her heart and comforted her soul. She couldn't imagine living without either one for long. It was unthinkable.
He had her on such a dry spell that she had actually been contemplating using the BOB Amelia had bought her as a gag gift. To Sookie's way of thinking, if she could go to the tanning bed on days the sun didn't come out to play, then surely she could use that if she needed a good lay. She just couldn't see BOB as measuring up to Eric.
Sookie had even tried talking to Pam. That as Jason would say, went over like a fart in church on a wooden bench. Very awkward and a bad idea to say the least.
"Damn Sookie now you are rhyming and quoting Jason." She mumbled to herself. Neither one of those things were good ideas.
"You say something hon?"
"What, no." Sookie cleared her throat.
"Then I say no time like the present." Amelia glanced at her wrist watch. "And speaking of time we are almost upon the witching hour. Go get ready. He should be here shortly after the spell is cast."
Sookie grabbed her bag from Taras Togs and rushed into the bathroom. She discarded her clothes as quickly as possible and smoothed the ice blue sheath down her body. She debated wearing the matching underwear but decided against it. Why hold up go time, she thought. She wanted Eric back inside her as quick as possible. They had a lot of lost time to make up for.
Sookie glanced in her full length mirror to make sure her '"girls" were up and at em. The nightgown had a built in support that was doing wonders for them. A small adjustment was made, then she ripped the ponytail out of her hair and finger combed through it. Satisfied at her appearance she returned to Amelia as quickly as possible.
"Wow, hoochie mama." Amelia whistled and gave a cat call. "I hope you didn't pay a fortune for that because your Viking is going to rip it to shreds."
"That was the plan." Sookie said with a blush and grabbed the container off the bed. "Now what do I do?"
"Sit on the bed Sooks." Amelia waited patiently for Sookie to get settled. Laughing when she turned Eric's side of the covers down. "First you need to take out the fabric hearts. What did you make it from by the way?"
"Ericsreadundies." Was the muttered reply.
"What was that?" Amelia snorted. "Come again."
"Move along Ames. I don't see what that has to do with anything." Sookie said not meeting Amelia's gaze.
"Alright take your magic panty hearts and lie them flat on the bed." Amelia dodge a book being thrown at her head. "Sorry couldn't resist. Uhm, after that sprinkle some of the vervain on each of them." Amelia nodded her head as Sookie looked up after completing her task. "Now you want to place some of Eric's hair on one of the hearts and yours on the other."
"This seems really stupid Amelia." Sookie griped. Carefully she took Eric's hair and gently placed it on the heart. Please work, she thought as she placed hers on the other.
"We'll see who's stupid when my mo-jo gets your sugar daddy back." Amelia smirked. "Anywho, fold each of them into small packets, then take the needle and pin them together. Then voila, instant sweaty monkey sex with your vampire."
"Thats it?" Sookie asked looking doubtful. "Are you sure Ames, cause I don't see Eric, nor do I feel him getting any closer."
"Duh, gotta bury it under an oak by the full moons light." Amelia shrugged her shoulders. "Oopsies"
"Amelia, I swear to god, if there isn't a full moon out tonight," Sookie got out of bed stomping all the way to the window. "I will kick your scrawny ass."
"Oh there is. I was just messing with ya." Amelia giggled as she started gathering her things. "Want me to bury it for you on my way out?"
"No its fine." Sookie tossed on a matching wrap and some house shoes.
"You're sure?" Amelia reached her hand out for the bundle that was still laying on the bed. "You don't want to just stay in bed so you can be easily pillaged?" She squeaked when Sookie lunged for her. "No save your strength, you are gonna need it."
"Would you go to Jason's already." Sookie brushed past her on the way to the stairs.
"Okay but call me." Amelia skipped down the stairs behind Sookie. "That is if you can talk tomorrow. Assuming the Viking leaves you with a voice." She wagged her eyes at Sookie and shot out the door.
Sookie shook her head at the craziness that was her life. Her she was 27 years old and traipsing around in her night clothes on a full moon to cast a vampire, viagra love spell. "This had better fucking work."
She spotted the perfect oak sitting between her house and the cemetery. Sookie pulled up her gown so as not to stain the delicate material and knelt on the cold ground. She spotted a twig that would help with her digging adventure so she didn't have to dirty her hands. After a few minutes of plugging away at the soil, it was big enough to fit her little package. She placed it carefully in and gently returned the soil.
Sookie closed her eyes and said a silent prayer to whoever was listening. "Please, I can't loose him. Make this work."
A sudden chill raced up her spine and the wind began to whip through the trees. A mist of rain began to fall and Sookie ran back to the shelter of her home. She hurried up the stairs into her bathroom and grabbed a towel to dry her dampened hair and gown. Thankfully she wasn't too bad and would dry in no time.
She wondered how long she would have to wait before Eric arrived. Sookie settled herself back in bed and tried several different positions before deciding she was being silly and just relaxed. She closed her eyes and imagined the kisses that Eric would place on her body. The way it would feel to have his length pressed against her. Or in her. She moaned softly at the thought. Her hand trailed slowly down her body, feeling her nipples tighten into little beads. She could feel the dampness pool between her thighs.
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the front door open. Her breaths become erratic when she heard the door shut and feet on the stairs. A moan passed her lips as she saw the handle on her door turn. She closed her eyes and gasped when she felt a cold hand caress her body. Her nipples became hard as rocks and she couldn't abide the amount of pressure she felt between her legs.
"Touch me lover, please." Sookie moaned. "Oh how I have missed you."
"Sookie, I thought you would never ask." Pam replied before she kissed Sookie within an inch of her life.
