We pulled up to Fangtasia at 8pm. It was still early but the bar was already packed. Eric kept his hand on the small of my back as we walked in the employee entrance and back to his office. He sat down on his chair and I sat down on his desk, facing him.

"You know you're not going to be able to parade me around out there. If my job is to find out who is killing your staff, I need to be treated like your staff, not your girlfriend." I kicked off my heels and crossed my legs. Eric reached down and took my right foot into his hands and started massaging.

"Oh, ungh, Eric. You can't do that. It feels too good. I might not make it out to the bar." I tossed my head back, moaning a bit. His hands were certainly talented. He put my right foot down and picked up my left and massaged that one too.

"I just want my favorite waitress to be comfortable for her first night out on the floor." He smiled and bent to plant a kiss on my knee.

"Wait, I just forgot something. What about Sam?" I panicked. I was scheduled to work tonight. I completely forgot. I never forgot a shift.

"I called the shifter. He's giving you the week off." Leave it to Eric to handle everything.

"Eric, I should have called him and explained. I can't believe I forgot. I guess I was too preoccupied." I flashed him a suggestive smile.

Eric stood and positioned himself between my legs. He grabbed my thighs and I wrapped my legs around him. He leaned over and ran his fangs along my neck. I shuttered and bucked against him a little. Then something awful happened, Pam walked in.

"Can't you two keep off each other for more than five minutes?" She was smiling. She loved teasing Eric.

Eric growled a little then stepped back from me.

"I guess I should get out there." I slid off the desk, put my heels on, and practically skipped out to the bar. Once I was out there I tried to relax and clear my mind. A tidal wave of thoughts came over me.

I'd fuck her.

She's a too blond for my taste.

Nice rack.

I want to be bitten tonight, I don't care by who. I want someone to bite me.

I tried to focus on one thought at a time and started to take care of my tables. In the corner of my eye I seen Eric come out and take his place in the center of the room. Pam was close behind him. I could feel him staring at me. He wanted to make sure I was okay. I tried not to smile as I took orders. I waited on my tables for what felt like hours.

I was on my way up to the bar to place a drink order when I felt anger. I tried to follow the feeling and then I started to hear the thoughts.

Evil vampires. Sent straight from hell to destroy God's creatures. Must kill the humans that serve them. Teach them a lesson.

I bit my lip and moved closer to the voice. Suddenly it blipped out. I couldn't find it. I searched everywhere. After walking around a few more minutes trying to find the voice I went up to Eric and leaned to whisper in his ear. I told him what I heard. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his office. Pam grabbed my tray and went to cover my tables.

Once we were back in the office Eric started pacing.

"You lost him?" I felt his disappointment and it hurt. I stared at the ground.

"Yes, I heard his thoughts so clearly. I was getting closer, and then then nothing. It went silent." I looked up for a minute to see his face had softened.

"It's okay, Sookie. We will find him." He put his arms around me and squeezed a little. I shifted from leg to leg trying to take the pain off of my feet. Stupid high heels. Eric must have sensed my pain and he picked me up. He put one arm around my back and the other under my knees.

"I think Pam can take care of everything. It's already midnight. Things will be dying down soon." He kissed my temple then bent over, with me still in his arms, to grab my purse and his car keys. He carried me all the way to the car and sat me gently in the passenger seat. He leaned in to give me a kiss and buckled my seat belt for me. I was exhausted.

I thought we were going home. But he pulled up to a club with music blaring so loud I could hear it outside. I slipped my shoes on and turned to Eric.

"What are we doing here?"

"Our date got ruined last night. I know you like to dance, so I thought I'd bring you here."

I smiled. He knew I'd be uncomfortable dancing at his bar with all the fangbangers so he brought me to a dance club that he didn't own. He climbed out and came around to open my door for me. Suddenly my exhaustion melted away and I was excited. I had never been taken out to dance before.

I stepped out of the car and grabbed his hand. We held hands all the way up to the door. Eric paid our cover charge and we stepped in. I could feel people staring at us. I was the envy of every girl in the room. I could hear their thoughts about Eric. I looked up at him and smiled. He was my own. This sexy vamp loved me.

I reached up and let my hair out of my pony-tail and shook it a bit. When I looked up Eric's fangs where halfway down. He pulled me out onto the dance floor. I knew Eric could do some ball room dancing because he had danced in Rhodes. But the tunes in this club were thumping bass lines. I looked at him, feeling a little nervous. He just laughed and started moving. He did have some moves. I was impressed. I turned around so my back was to him and bumped my booty against him a little bit. He seemed surprised at my suggestive dancing. I swiveled my hips and then got an idea. I stood up with my back against him and slid down him like I had done to the wall the day before while I was cleaning. On my way up I could feel him pressing against me. He was excited. I turned to face him and continued my hip swiveling in time with the beat.

He put his hands on my hips. He leaned down and took my earlobe into his mouth. "Sookie, if you do that again, I will fuck you right here." That sent shivers down my spine. I was having fun dancing so I didn't dare test him to see if he was telling the truth. We danced close for another few minutes until I was breathless. He guided me to a booth and went to grab us some drinks. He came back with a gin and tonic for me and a bottle of O positive for him. We both drank and relaxed.

"Thank you for bringing me here." I had to shout over the music. He smiled and finished his drink. I downed mine and stood up and took his hand. "Let's dance some more." I pulled him back out onto the dance floor. We danced until 2am.

Once the club closed he grabbed me up and dragged me to the car. I was drunk on gin and tonics and he was hungry with blood lust. I thought he was going to take me right on the car hood. Instead he put me in the car and then climbed in himself. He didn't say a word as he drove home. He didn't have to, I knew what he was thinking. His hand was up my skirt rubbing the front of my panties. I was moaning and spreading my legs for him.

When we pulled up to his house he came around and practically yanked me from the car. He picked me up and my legs wrapped around his waist. He snatched my purse off the floor of the car and carried me up to the door. He shoved his way in. Thankfully Pam didn't appear to be home. He sat me on the kitchen table and pushed me back. He started pulling at my panties. I pushed him back a little and sat up, I had an idea.

"Eric, go wait upstairs in your bedroom for me." He looked horrified. He couldn't even hide his disappointment. "Don't worry baby, I'll be up in a second. I have a surprise for you." I purred in his ear.

He seemed to get the idea and ran up the stairs.

I smiled and prepared to give him one hell of a night.
