Sorry, it took so long to get this last chapter up. It has been kind of crazy lately, but this one is longer to make up for the wait. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
She ruffled his hair as she looked at his fangs glinting under the bar light and opened her mouth to reply, but was cut off by a door slamming and Pam entering, yelling for Eric.
"Er-what is this?" She exclaimed gesturing toward Eric and Kaeson.
"Pam!" Eric snarled as he turned to bare his fangs at her.
"Eric, it's fine. I've got to get going anyways." Kaeson said touching is arm and trying to move away.
"You're not going anywhere," he commanded Kaeson as he pinned her in the chair and then looked back at Pam, "This better be important."
"I can't believe this." Pam replied as she shook her head and stared in disbelief at Eric and Kaeson.
"What is it, Pam?" He hissed.
"Nothing. I guess it isn't important." She replied raising her eyebrow and shooting Eric an evil look.
"Then why the hell did you interrupt?" He exclaimed trying keep himself from unpinning Kaeson.
"Sorry, I thought you'd have enough decency to take her to the back like the rest of them, instead of here in the open bar." She sneered as she walked to the back and slammed the door.
Eric's head and shoulders dropped in defeat as he retracted his fangs. He still had Kaeson pinned in the chair and she was scared to touch him.
"Um… Eric?" She asked quietly.
"Yes, Kaeson." He replied as he took a seat next to her and looked at her.
She gulped when she moved to in front of him and looked into his startling blue eyes. He looked up to meet her hazel eyes.
"Are you okay?" She asked quietly.
The look of defeat was wiped away has he straightened himself and replied, "Yes."
Kaeson let out a small sigh as she got up and walked by Eric to the door, when she stopped and looked at him. He casually turned to look at her and raised an eyebrow. Kaeson then carefully moved toward him and placed a kiss on his cheek. As she was pulling away, Eric slipped his hand behind her head and gently pulled her back down until their lips met. Kaeson's breath was taken away partially because it was sudden and also because Eric was tender in his kiss. It was soft at first and then he deepened the kiss, pulling her closer to him.
By the time Eric pulled away from the kiss, Kaeson was sitting in his lap looking at him dazed with her hands fisted in his hair. He laughed softly as he looked down at Kaeson, the smile reaching his eyes. She smiled back at him as she reached up and mussed his hair.
"I need to get you home." He said as he gently stood her up.
"That willing to get rid of me?" She teased as she reached out to him for support.
"I can't kiss you again if you react to it like this." He said laughing as he scooped her up and carried her out to the car.
"I'm just tired." She said laughing and holding on to him.
"That didn't wake you up?" He mused as he sat her down in the passengers' seat.
Kaeson laughed as he got in and started the car. Eric looked over at her and mockingly said, "You haven't fed I can tell." Kaeson laughed and waved him off.
"Seriously, where do you want to eat?'
"I'm fine, Eric. Really."
"You haven't eaten all day because you've been working." Eric said with an edge in his voice.
"I'll eat when I get home." She replied.
"I should have fed you at Fangtasia." He retorted as he shook his head.
Kaeson started to laugh as she said, "You could always feed me now."
Eric looked over with a brief look of shock on his face.
"I was kidding! I wasn't serious. I know the blood is sacred and everything."
Eric did not say anything; instead he focused on the road.
The rest of the trip went fairly quickly and quietly with Kaeson dozing off every once in a while. Kaeson was looking out the window sleepily as Eric pulled up in her drive way. She slowing got out of the car, rubbing her eyes in order to stay awake. Eric tossed her the keys after he had locked the car. Kaeson walked up and unlocked the front door as Eric scanned the forest bordering her house.
Kaeson opened the door and then turned to Eric, who was making his way up to the front steps.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" He asked as he loomed over her.
"Eric, it's late." She replied laughing while looking up at him.
"I won't stay long, I promise." He replied smirking.
"Eric Northman, won't you please come in?" She asked smiling.
"I thought you'd never ask." He replied while stepping into her living room.
"You have to excuse the mess; I haven't had much time to clean." She said as she turned and locked the door.
"Locking yourself in a house with a vampire, it's the smartest move." He chuckled as he sat down on the couch.
She laughed as she walked in to kitchen, made a peanut butter sandwich and poured her a glass of milk. Meanwhile Eric was looking around her living room; it was about normal size, painted a dark orange, dimly lit and rustically decorated. There were pictures on the walls of landscapes and buildings framed in rough wood. The couch and loveseat were black with two matching end tables and there were couple of black wicker chairs that also adorned the room. The fireplace was a focal point in the room, it was also black with candles scattered on the mantle and a huge mirror hung above it. Eric caught a glimpse of Kaeson looking around the kitchen attempting to tidy things up.
Kaeson walked back into the living room, finishing up the last of her sandwich and lit some of the candles on the mantle.
"Sorry, I don't have any TruBlood. I'm not use to having vampires over." She said turning to Eric and blowing out the match.
"I should hope you don't have any other vampires over, I see no reason for it." Eric said offhandedly making his gaze back to Kaeson.
Kaeson smiled and said, "Bill comes over occasionally."
A look of disgust crossed Eric's face at the mention of Bill's name.
Kaeson laughed and reassured him it was only for important reasons, not so much personal ones. He gave her a skeptical look, which was followed by more assurance that Bill was not her type.
"So what is your 'type'?" Eric asked curiously as Kaeson sat down on the loveseat adjacent to him.
"I don't think that is relevant." She said smiling and leaning back.
"It is relevant." Eric replied leaning forward.
"Don't you think we've had enough for one night?" Kaeson asked smiling.
"There is much more that could have happened."
"Would you have let it?' Kaeson asked raising an eyebrow.
"That is not relevant." Eric replied smiling and standing up.
"I just think you're scared to admit it. You think you have to keep the strong vampire composure all the time." Kaeson said standing next to Eric.
"You're right, I have to." Eric said with a tone of seriousness.
"I admire you for that too." Kaeson replied as she walked toward the door.
Eric smiled as he followed her and stood over her. Kaeson chuckled and shook her head as she looked down at the floor.
"What?" Eric asked a bit confused.
"It's nothing." She replied looking up at him.
Eric just looked down at Kaeson with a raised eyebrow and said, "I should get going, it's getting early for me and late for you."
Kaeson laughed as she said, "Good night, Eric Northman."
"Good night, Kaeson Parker." Eric replied smiling as he leaned down and kissed her forehead.
