Chapter 3

Eric's POV

When I awoke I could feel Sookie's stress through our bond, even though it was becoming weaker. I hated to feel her emotions when she wasn't happy, sometimes her emotions were just too much for me handle, they would change very quickly, it made me feel slightly more human. I knew I was going to go check on her once I had been to Fangtasia and sorted out some paperwork. God it was boring to look after such a business, paperwork always made me want to stake myself. I decided I would drive instead of fly.

I arrived at the bar and noticed Pam sitting at the throne, looking very bored. My child does make me chuckle, even though she could be a pain. I gave a nod in her direction and continued towards the office, after completing the paperwork I received a call from King Bill, god he is annoying, I don't get how he became king, I wish I could just cover him in silver, and stake him over, and over again. I sighed and agreed to go to his home, after I had finished my 'business' what he doesn't know won't hurt, yet.

I managed to get Pam to agree to look after the bar for a couple of nights, since I planned to stay over at Sookie's especially since I had the light tight space built. I began my journey, fantasising about all the different stuff I hoped to do to her.

Sookie's POV

After going to Bill's I felt dirty again, so I had a quick shower, just in case an unwanted guest arrived. Luckily for me no one did. I walked into my room, and removed my towel chucking it behind me, I realised it did not make a thud when it touched the wooden floor. I could feel my heart pumping faster and I felt happy, I knew it meant that Eric was behind me, he must have caught the towel. Only then did a blush come to my cheeks when I remembered I was naked, I quickly grabbed a top to hold against myself. I then began to scream, forgetting what my Gran had taught me about manners. "How dare you come into my home, without an invitation, I don't care if you own the house you still have no right.. and please stop staring at me, you are looking at me like I'm an all you can eat buffet, now GET OUT" Eric just began to chuckle, his eyes were filled with lust but glistened with humour. He was laughing at me! He began to stalk towards me, like he was hunting his prey, but I was not going to be his prey I had to stop him. I opened my mouth to yell some more when his lips attacked mine, he was kissing me fiercely whilst I just stood there, I slowly felt my body melting, my lips began to respond, and before I knew what I was doing I had my fingers wrapped in his hair pulling him closer to me. My body always had a mind of its own, I felt like I was having an out of body experience. I was watching myself kiss Eric, Eric effing Northman, Viking vampire that I had recently told I would never kiss him. Yet, here I was fighting for dominance with him, what was wrong with me? He was first to pull away, probably realising that I did have to be breath, I was embarrassed to look up at him especially when I noticed that I was naked since during the excitement I had dropped my top, I risked a look at his face and noticed he was wearing a smirk, oh he was pleased with himself. Walking away from him, I went to search for some appropriate clothing, when I returned, he was perched and my bed, watching me intensely. I didn't want to talk first, so I just sat next to him and waited,

Eric's POV

I wasn't expecting her to kiss me back, I knew she couldn't resist me, I just had to wait a little longer then she will yield to me properly, she will become my lover. I could tell she was waiting me for me to speak so I decided I would simply say one thing then leave to go see my miserable King. "Mine" I whispered, I then stood up and then began to walk towards the door at human speed. "Eric! I am not yours, I never will be." She shouted. This made me angry, why couldn't she realise, she wanted me just as much as I wanted her. I sighed before I began my little speech, which I had prepared since I thought something like this would happen. "Sookie, you need me, if you become mine, I can offer you protection which you are going to need. I will make you mine if you want it or not, but I am going to polite and give you the choice first, I do not wish to force you to become mine, so I leave with you the decision. Come to Fangtasia when you have decided. I hope you make the right choice, goodnight Sookie" I leant down and placed a kiss on her forehead before she could reply I had left, heading towards silly Bill's.
