AN/ Not too happy with this chpt. To tell the truth this story kind of got off somewhere other then where I intended...lol

But I promised an update tonight so here ya go. All mistakes are mine...sorry for any that made it through.

*THANKS TO ALL THAT HAVE STUCK WITH THIS STORY, HAVE ADDED IT TO YOUR FAVS AND HAVE REVIEWED*

Disclaimer: They don't belong to me. Sad but true.

Sookie brushed the cobwebs of sleep from of her eyes. She was so tired she could barely keep them open. She felt physically drained. She tried to sit up in bed only to discover that she was tethered to the bed with only enough slack to allow for minimal movement. The room was encased in utter darkness. There was not a hint of light to be seen anywhere.

Blind panic began to set in. The last thing she remembered was making love to Eric and him biting her. That was nothing new but this, she didn't want to think about what had happened. The bastard must have drained her and brought her back to his place. If she got out of here she was going to kill him. Sookie pulled on her binding which seemed to only tighten around her skin.

"Eric!" Sookie screamed for all she was worth, tossing and turning on the bed, in an effort to get loose. "Let me up you son of a bitch."

She screamed for him until she was hoarse. What a stupid, stupid girl she had been. She had let the bond rule her. Well, that and if she was willing to admit it out loud, not that she would, her own lust get her into this situation. This was just not her week for having bright ideas.

"Hush dear one. You'll make yourself sick." Eric's voice whispered from the darkness that surrounded her. "I can't have my wife under the weather."

"What in the sam hell do you think you are doing Eric?" Sookie snarled. "You let me up right now!" How could she have been so stupid as to trust him. She knew better. Hell she had told him as much...but no she had to go and let her hoo-ha do the deciding for her. If she ever got out of this mess she was swearing off sex for life. It just wasn't worth all the trouble she seemed to gain from it.

"No." Eric lit a candle beside the bed. She could make out that he was bare

chest and wearing a pair of low slung black sleep pants.

"No, what the fuck do you mean no?" Sookie lifted her head up as far as she could so she could stare that sneaky prick in the eyes. "You can't keep me here Eric. Someone will come looking for me."

"Prey tell who?" Eric chuckled at her.

"Jason, Sam, Amelia, Alcide...should I go on?"

"Please do. I find it highly amusing." Eric gently brushed a hand across her uncovered breast, smirking when they beaded up. "So far you have named an idiot, a dog, Glenda and a wolf. None of which can oppose me."

"How do you know who they are and not me?" Sookie tried to pull her chest away from his tormenting fingers but there was only so far she could go.

"Thats the million dollar question, dear one." Eric leaned down and blew his cool breath over her nipples. "After you ignored my calls last night, I started thinking. Why was it only you that I did not know? I can remember people from my human days but not you. It did not make sense until I came to one conclusion."

"Which was?"Sookie flipped to her side knocking his teasing mouth away from her.

"Witchcraft." Eric said with a snarl of his lips. "And when I find the culprit, I will make them beg within an inch of their lives before I take mercy and end them."

Oh shit, she thought. If he found out that she and Amelia had done this to him, he would not listen to reason. He would kill them both. Thoughts of meeting her end by Eric's idea of torture was not her idea of fun. "Witchcraft?" Sookie stuttered.

"Yes. Someone has cast a spell on us." Eric pointed between he and Sookie. "I will find them. I already have Pam working on it, seeing as how she seems to be affected too."

"So why I'm I here?" Distract him Sookie. He can't know that you and Ames did this. Not yet. Once the spell was reversed, she would come clean..but not with Eric ready to maim and murder.

"You are here because I choose for you to be."

"Son of a bitch." Sookie yelled.

"You already said that." Eric tsked at her. "Come on think of something else."

"How about asshole?" Sookie spat out. "I can't believe you are doing this to me."

"Doing what exactly?" Eric cocked an eyebrow at her and sat on the bed close to her hip. He began tracing his fingers up and down creating gooseflesh in his wake. "Bringing you home where you belong?"

"I don't belong here." Sookie flipped back over causing his hand to fall on her stomach. Oh shit she thought as he began tiptoeing his fingers down to her small tuft of hair. Wrong move Sookie. She tried to turn back on her side but he stilled her movements.

"You belong right where I have you." A look of desire flared in his eyes. He brushed his fingers through her coarse curls and delved into her heat. "Your brain is the only one fighting it. Your body already knows."

"Stop. Don't force this on me." Sookie said with a shaky voice. Her eyes welled up with tears.

"I would never force this," Eric gently probed her, smiling at the wetness he found, "on you." Eric removed his hand and settled down beside Sookie. "However, you are not going anywhere until I say."

"Do not be high handed with me Eric. I want stand for it." Sookie scooted over as far as she could, not wanting an inch of his flesh to touch hers. "You can't keep me tied up for your enjoyment."

"Oh Sookie. In this, you are so very wrong." Eric wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to his side. "There is no point in trying to fight me. I never loose."

"You aren't making sense. Why would you want me here?"

Eric chuckled softly. "Why indeed. Such a resistant wife you are."

"Now I'm your wife?" Sookie snorted. "And this is how you would treat me?"

"Yes. You are mine. I knew it the moment I tasted you that you belong to me."

"I belong to no one. You never got that before and you don't seem to get it now. I am not a piece of property Eric." Sookie wanted to scream. Frigging vampires and their ownership rules. She was sick of it.

"Let me understand. If a human man and woman were to wed, would they in part own one another?" Eric asked her.

"I get where you are going but its different with you vamps. Y'all take ownership to a whole different level." Sookie huffed. Really down this road again?

"Was a callous to you? Did I abuse you or forsake you for another?

"No Eric. You didn't."

"Then I fall to see why you are offended when I say that I own you. As you no doubt own me."

"You drained me." Sookie finally said it. The elephant that she had been avoiding was out of the closet. She couldn't hold it back any longer. She had to know why he did it. Even if it was just to subdue her and bring her here.

"I DID NOT!" Eric scoffed out. "You simply passed out."

"The hell you say." Sookie tried to hit him. She was just as enraged. He had never taken so much blood from her before. Even when he lost his memory the first time. He was always gentle with her.

"Sookie, I am telling the truth. I drank from you but I pulled away the minute I felt you loose consciousness." Eric pinned her hand that was trying to claw him down. " You passed out after I had only taken a few pulls of your blood."

"Then why bring me here?" Sookie curled her fingers into the cool bed sheets. What she would give to be untied for a few minutes. She would love to claw his eyes out right about now. Why is he lying?

"As I said earlier this is where you belong. Also you obviously don't know how to take care of yourself or you wouldn't have been so weak as to pass out from the small amount of blood I took."

"I had nothing on my stomach." Sookie mumbled under breath. She was too embarrassed to tell him why. Drinking herself to death over a botched nookie spell didn't seem to be a good thing to share at the moment.

"You must eat. Even I know this." Eric got up from the bed. She could hear him walking around but couldn't see him. He returned to her in less then a minute with a plate full of fruit and cheese. He also had a glass in his hands. "Yet you would accuse me of draining you."

"Shut up." Sookie rolled her eyes at him. She didn't need a 1000 yr old vampire to tell her to eat. She knew this.

"Now is that anyway to talk to the man bringing you sustenance?" Eric pressed a strawberry to her lips. It smelled delicious but she refused to be fed by him. Sookie shook her head and turned away. "Stubborn until the end I see."

"I don't need you feeding me Eric. Let me up." Sookie pulled on the binding again. "I can't go anywhere. Unless you are scared I can outrun you."

"I fear nothing. I want you to eat from my hand. Let me nourish you as you have nourished me." Eric rubbed the berry across her lips, squeezing some of its juice onto her dry lips.

Sookie licked the sweetness away. God, it tasted so good. She finally felt like she could eat something but she needed to do it herself. " I can't eat like this."

Eric moved so quickly that Sookie had no idea what he was doing until she felt his chest against her back and one arm around her waist. The ever present berry was back at her mouth. "Will this work?" She didn't need to see the bastard to know that he was smirking again.

"Eric.." Sookie said around a mouthful of strawberry. He had waited for her to speak and crammed it in. His hand now covered her mouth so she couldn't spit it out.

"This is the part, if memory serves, where you chew, love." She felt his chest vibrate against her back in silent laughter. It was nice to see whether he was the Eric of old, Eric of in between or Eric of now, they were all pushy smart ass bastards.

AN/ Also could anyone pm me and let me know what I am doing wrong with the format of this doc. I looked earlier and this is definitly not how I typed it out. What am I doing wrong?
