Hi there! Did everyone enjoy the first two episodes of True Blood Season 4? I know I did. Is it just me or did everyone get 10x hotter? Anyways, as always I apologize for the late and very short chapter but you know me, I'm lame that way. I hope you guys enjoy this Eric/Sookie centric chapter.

I love you guys!

I do not own any of the true blood or southern vampire characters.

Chapter 9

Sookie had just finished brushing her hair after long warm shower when she stepped out of the bathroom as she heard loud tapping sounds. She's surprised to see a floating Eric Northman outside her window.

Sookie looks at the window and see's that it cracked. She opens the window and sticks her head out.

"What the fuck do you want? I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now Eric and you better pay for this because your tapping cracked my window." She says, shouting angrily at a calm emotionless looking Eric.

"I will pay for your window. Please invite me in Sookie." He answers, his calm but very low.

"Come in," She quickly says without even a pause to think about letting this man, who could easily kill her, in. She wonders why she didnt think about it, not even for a second. Sookie relaxes as she remembers that she can always rescind the invitation.

Eric nods as a thank you. He does not enter through the window. He flies down and uses the front door, to Sookie's happiness. She didn't think it would be very entertaining watching him squish himself to go through the window.

In the next second, Eric is standing by the door with his arms on his side and his hands in the form of fists. He's wearing a simple black t-shirt and jeans that was too tight and surely emphasized the presence of his manhood.

Sookie looks at him for a while before the idea dawns on her on why he's visiting, "How the fuck did you know?"

"One of my workers informed me, not half an hour ago." Eric answers as he walks up to sookie, leans down and kisses sookie softly on the lips. Sookie gives in just a bit as she kisses him back.

He moves in slowly as if he's never done it and hugs sookie tight. She puts her hands on his back as she hugs him too. Her head rests on his chest and through the thin cloth, she feels his muscles move as he pulls her closer, as close as he can.

"Are you mad?"

"I am furious but right now, I just miss you."

Sookie can't help but smile at him, how pure his words sound. How clear his intentions are of her. She starts to wonder when she should tell him that the baby's is not Bill's. It was Vampire and Fae, that was what David said. It must be Eric's. It can only be Eric's child. Sookie tells herself that now is not the right time. A kind of news like that will ruin this one in a million good moment they have with each other.

Suddenly sookie realizes something. She moves away from Eric. "Did you have me followed?"

Eric's surprise that Sookie knows how Eric thinks registers on his face but it quickly fades as he enters her room, walking around it.

"So? Are you gonna answer me or what?"

"You have no fucking right. Whatever I do and wherever I go is my fucking business." She says, increasing the loudness of her voice. It catches Eric's attention as he goes to her and pins her on the wall as he stares as her.

"OUCH! Eric, that really hurt."

"Do you like making me suffer sookie? Does it please you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about Eric. I'm really tired right now, I need to rest."

"You know what I'm talking about? You are mine. My lover. MINE."

Sookie's angry now as she pulls her arms away from Eric who's been pinning her on the wall.

"I am not anybody's. You are not my boyfriend and the last time I checked, the only person closest to being called my lover is Bill."

"You do not love this BOY. You and I, we have something. It may not be like other relationships that you've had but this relationship we have is not defined by your human standards." He sighed before he continued, " Sookie, you are the only person I would think of saving. Someone I would risk important things for. And tha feeling is new to me. I do not like someone I have that with, sharing it with a human. "

"THAT'S IT. BILL IS HUMAN. I can grow old with him. Life doesn't need to be difficult. He loves me. He wants this life.I DO NOT WANT a husband who will spend more time with his bar than his wife."

"I can provide for you too. I have money. I can give you everything you want. Bill can not."

"Can you give me the rest of your life?" she asks softly clearly knowing the effect that this has on Eric. She starts to regret it but it's too late, Eric hears it. And once he hears it, his face twists in pain.

"You do not know how much pain you've caused me by speaking of that, sookie."

"Eric..I..I didn't mean to.." She whispers.

"Yes you did. You say that you love Bill but look at what you are doing now. You're here with me, loving me. You love me. Do you not?"

"Its a bit more complicated than that." She sighs.

"No, it is not. That is the problem with you humans, you overcomplicate everything when you can simply choose to be happy. But you are too stuck with the darkness to let yourself have that. I want you, to see you everyday. I will not accept otherwise."

"Well, you aren't the only one who decides that Eric. I have a say in this too. Things are different now, Women have a say in things."

"Life was much easier when all they did was cook and birth your children." Eric says sitting down on the side of Sookie's bed. Sookie follows and sits beside him.

"Life was easier when I didn't know vamps existed." She signs as she leans her head on Eric's shoulder. He moves his arm and wraps it around her to bring her closer to him.

"Do you regret it? Meeting me?" Eric looks down at sookie. She looks up at him and smiles, "Never. Even when I hate your guts which I do most of the time, but I'll never regret it."

Eric gives her a sweet soft and quite rare smile as he kisses her on the lips. Their kiss is long and passionate, Eric shows her how much he's learned from the hundred of years of his life. When they stop to let sookie breathe, he puts his lips right beside her ear and whispers, "Leave him and be with me."

"I can't." She says.
