Loving You Forever

A True Blood Story

Take it easy baby
But take as much as you can
Cause I got all the sweet loving
You could possibly stand
I'll take your tears for drinking water
Make your pain sweet company
You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder
Girl you mean that much to me

I could climb the highest mountain
To show the world I could survive
But without your lovin' baby
I wouldn't even be alive
Cause your love is like blood
Cause your love is like blood to me

Like a river baby
Your love is running thru me
And with ev'ry beat of our hearts
We're defying gravity
Just a little bit further on up the stream
There's a shady resting place
Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles
With just one sweet embrace

Now I could do a million things
Just to prove that I'm a man
But there's only one woman
Who holds my life in her hands
Your love is like blood to me
Your love it's just like blood to me

I don't care what your people say
Over my dead body will they ever take you away
And any man cutting in on me
Well he just better stop cause I can't spare a drop
Your love is like blood to me

John Hiatt, Love Like Blood

They had eyes for only each other, even though almost all eyes were on the striking couple. Dinner had of course been excellent and after relaxing with after dinner drinks, the two lovers took to the dance floor, waltzing and slow dancing their way to heaven. They could both feel the intensity of the heat building between them and knew it would soon be time to go. One last dance, surprisingly enough, 'At Last' played before they left the beautiful restaurant that was their creation, together.

Without asking Eric drove his corvette to his home in the outskirts of Shreveport and helped Sookie out of the low slung car. High heels and a tight dress were a bitch to get gracefully out of a car inches above ground. They held hands up to the doorway and entered. Immediately hundreds of candles throughout the house lighted with a flick of Eric's wrist. She always loved the way he could do that. There were many things he could do with a flick of his wrist…light candles or strangle a person to death without touching them. He had a very powerful wrist, she thought wryly.

He carried Sookie up the stairs, stopping for her usual bottled water on the way. He slowly undressed her in the candlelight where her tanned skin glowed against the golden light. She began undressing him as well, sliding the black tie holding his beautiful hair back. She carelessly tossed his $3000 dinner jacket off onto an overstuffed chair along with his bowtie. While he made to take off her necklace she stopped him.

"I want to leave it on, Eric. Please?"

"Of course. But can I take the rest off?" He teased.

"You better hurry. I might have you undressed before you have me." She giggled as his nimble fingers tugged at the zipper and her dress slid into a pile of red, black and gray at her feet. She was naked except for her red silk bikini underwear and her red silk high heeled shoes. While he drank her in slowly, she intentionally slowly unbuttoned his shirt, dropping the suspenders to his sides. He unconsciously helped her with the unfamiliar cufflinks, never taking his eyes off of her body. A quick flick of her wrist and his pants dropped to the ground and she was pleased to see he was now naked as well, except for his shoes and socks. She laughed at the ridiculousness and pushed him back on their bed, carefully removing each shoe and sock. She then began her lovemaking, kneeling at his feet taking each toe into her mouth and sucking on it, drawing moans from her strong powerful Viking. She bit and sucked and licked her way up all 6 ft. 4in of his body, not missing an inch till she reached his mouth. His fangs were extended fully and he was barely maintaining his control. She loved that she could do this to him, and she loved what he could do for her. She ran her tongue across his fangs, intentionally bleeding her tongue to give him a taste of what was to come. He moaned into her mouth and quicker than a breath flipped her under him, torturing her much the same way as she had him. Their final joining was like nothing either had every felt before, every nerve, every breath, every heartbeat, every pulse of blood from one to the other was filled with an ancient love, and ancient passion as old as time itself. When they had exhausted themselves, he fell away from her but just barely. They lay there reveling in the aftershocks of the earthquake that was their love.

Finally Sookie broke the silence. "Eric, it is time. I want you to turn me."

Eric looked at her in surprise and confusion. "I thought you said you never wanted me to do that. Why now?"

"I don't want you to watch me grow old. I want to be like this with you forever. And maybe it isn't forever, we can't know the future, but I know that I love you, and I believe you want to spend forever with me because you love me too. Maybe someday we perform the vampire rights, and maybe we never do and just know in our hearts we are committed to each other. I want you to turn me, Eric. I'm ready."

Eric turned on his side to face Sookie. "This would make me very happy. It is a tremendous gift we would share between us. We would always be linked forever. But Sookie, you would have to give up the sunlight, having children, eating food. Are you ready for that?"

"Sunlight is bad for me, staying with you I could never have children anyway, and in case you didn't notice I ate all my favorite foods tonight. I'm ready."

"It is all I have thought of for so long, I'm ready too. It will hurt at first but don't fight it. Soon it will feel like you are floating. That is when you will hear me from what seems like far away ordering you to drink. And you will drink Sookie. I will hold you to my breast until you drink enough. You will then sleep for several days and wake up ravenous."

Sookie interrupted him, "I don't want to kill anyone. I don't even want to feed from anyone."

"Lover, don't worry. I will take care of all your needs at first. I will teach you to feed and glamour the person into never remembering." Eric held up his hand as she started to interrupt. "While I would rather you not feed from others either, and will provide you enough sustenance in general, you must learn to feed on your own so you can feed yourself if I am not there. Do you understand?"

Sookie took a deep swallow and a deep breath, one of her last. "Yes, Eric, my love, my life, I understand and I give myself freely over to your care. Make love to me and turn me so when I next awake I am with you as your true partner. Your love is like blood to me."

Eric leaned over her naked and willing body, kissing her gently before taking her body over and over again until she never realized when the turn began and his love making stopped. As she started to float away, she heard his voice calling her back to him and she smiled.
