Kaeson looked up to see Eric looking out of a window with his back to her. She shifted a bit uneasily as her imagination ran wild. Was he going to feed on her, seduce her or kill her? She could see him flashing in front of her, sinking his long, shiny white fangs into her neck and within seconds her lifeless body would drop to the floor. She shuddered as she thought about it, and turned to make a dash for the door. Before she got her hand on the door knob, Eric was there blocking the door, looking sternly down upon her with his bright blue eyes and had grabbed her wrist. She gasped and tried to pull away from him, but to no avail. He stood there holding her wrist and watching her struggle as a small smile played on his lips. When she looked up and saw it, she froze with terror.
"Don't worry Ms. Parker. I promised Sookie I wouldn't hurt you." He said silkily, looking down at her and moving closer to her.
She retreated as far back as he would allow her to and looked down at her wrist which was still clutched in his hand.
"Come now Ms. Parker, I can be civilized. I'm not some blood thirsty animal although, I haven't fed tonight." He said as he released her wrist.
"Have a seat Ms. Parker, and don't think about making an escape. I'm upset enough, and I don't want to break my promise to Sookie." He stated as he gestured toward the couch sitting against the wall and walked back to his desk.
Kaeson obediently walked over and sat on the left side of the couch, the furthest side from Eric's desk. He sat down behind his desk and began working on something using his laptop. The clicks of the key strokes were the only thing to be heard in the room besides Kaeson's occasional sifting. Finally she gained enough courage to ask:
"What do you want with me, Mr. Northman?"
"I don't want anything to do with you." He replied not looking up from his work.
"Then why am I here?"
"You came here on your own accord."
"Not to your office."
Eric glanced up at her from his laptop and responded:
"Do you honestly think I like having this baby sitting job? I didn't ask to watch over a human for the rest of the night. If I had it my way I wouldn't have anything to do with you, or I'd feed from you."
"So let me leave." Kaeson said her temper rising.
"I can't do that."
"I can." Kaeson said as she rose from the couch and walked to the door, she managed to get the door open a bit before Eric was blocking her way again.
"Move." She said through gritted teeth.
"You are being a real pain in the ass right now, Ms. Parker. If you like I can always see that you are placed in the basement, properly restrained."
"I don't like being treated like a child."
"I don't like treating you like a child. Take a seat Ms. Parker, before I get highly upset and do something irrational." As he said the second sentence, he flashed his fangs.
Kaeson crossed her arms across her chest and looked up at Eric with her lips pressed in a thin line. Eric stared back at her with a look of determination flashing through his ice blue eyes.
"Eric, I want to leave." She pleaded softly and reaching out to touch his arm.
"Trust me; I would love it if you left too. You're too much trouble and a pain in the ass."
"Then just let me leave, Sookie doesn't have to know and from what I hear you don't play by the rules anyways." She said smirking and running her fingers down his forearm.
"I keep promises. I will escort you home after the bar closes." He replied crossing his arms across his chest.
"There is no need for that."
"Sookie seems to think there is."
Kaeson let out a breath and sat down on the couch and curled up in the corner of it. Eric walked back over to his desk and began working again.
"Do you bring a lot of girls back here?" Kaeson asked looking around at the office.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but don't talk while I'm working. To answer your question: no, I don't."
"What the hell am I supposed to do then, just sit here?"
"Yes, quietly is preferred."
"No, you're the one not allowing me to leave and I'm not going to sit here in silence."
Eric stopped working and looked over at her.
"I really don't care what you want. I'm busy right now; maybe we can chit-chat when I'm finished up, Ms. Parker."
"Stop calling me that, it's Kaeson. You should take a break and go feed off one of your groupies, so you won't be in such a bad mood. Then again I've heard you're always an asshole all the time."
Eric closed his laptop and said:
"Since I'm such an asshole all the time, I spared you earlier."
"Who gets worked up over some stupid throne anyways? It's just a chair, I'm sure you had your little whores sit in it before."
Before Kaeson could even take her next breath Eric had her pinned against the couch. His muscled body was pressed up against hers, his face inches from hers and his fangs glinting in the office lights.
