Hi!
As promise, here's an update! I hope you all like it. Oh, it's NOT safe for work, so you might want to mind that bit of info.. mmm.. I want to thank Karen (InvertedMeridian) who went through the trouble of being my beta for this chappy. It would be a mess without her!
EPOV
After a thousand years spent on this planet, the only joys I had were my children. Until I turned Pam, I had been so lonely. I didn't know it at the time, but as the years passed, it became more evident; the difference between the before and after periods.
I'd never experienced an urge like the one I felt when I saw her that night. She was sneaking around behind her parents to meet her lover, a man they didn't approve of. Disregarding society's rules and doing what she wanted, not what she was told, was what caught my attention.
The pull… the instinct to bring her over was overwhelming as I stalked her through the night. I had never felt like that before and it took a while for me to figure out what it was.
But, that night when Sookie walked into my bar with Bill Compton, I knew exactly what was going on. On top of a Maker's pull, I also felt more… more than I ever wanted to understand at that point. Living a millennia without loving anyone had taken a toll on me and I didn't want to think too strongly about this warm feeling overtaking me.
She was my mate, but I didn't figure that out until much later. I was completely gone by then, though, so it simply felt like all the pieces fell into place.
While my life had definitely become more interesting since I met her, my worries had also grown exponentially. I worried about her well-being, about her safety and well, about everything that was connected to Sookie.
Even now that she became my child, now that she was vampire, those worries didn't lessen. These powers that she was supposed to have, that she had to master, were unlike anything I've ever seen. Sure, I'd met the Pythoness, but my contacts with her were limited and I didn't have much insight on how her powers worked; all I knew were speculations and rumors.
And this light of hers… this power that Russell wanted her to train… I had never seen something like that before. To go a thousand years without ever meeting a creature like her said a lot about the entire situation. But then again, I'd also never met a telepath before her.
Everything about her was unique and I had the feeling that she would turn out to be more than my childe, my lover and my wife. She would be a fitting match not only for the vampire in me, but for the man as well - for the Viking that took joy from sword fights. She was going to be astonishing and I couldn't help but feel so much pride towards her.
The past few nights had been quite busy for us with all the training, but they were mostly emotionally exhausting for her, and therefore for me too, since our bond was so strong now.
This anticipation was killing her. She didn't know what she could do, to what extent her powers could grow and she was obviously worried about them. It was only natural, I guess. I was too. But for some reason, I trusted Russell.
The last time I had been in his home, I had played a role for Sookie's sake and for that of the other vampires in the compound who didn't need to know what was going on. Using the name "Leif" wasn't accidental, but a code.
Despite the fact that everyone assumed I hadn't known Russell, that wasn't exactly true. We had known each other for close to 800 years, since we were both in Europe. I met him after Appius released me and he was a big part of my evolution as a vampire. He taught me a lot of things and for that I was grateful.
Centuries ago, when we made our way into America, we both agreed not to say anything about our connection since most would feel threatened by two vampires that neared a thousand years and that actually got along well.
So when I walked into his compound that night and dubbed myself "Leif", he simply nodded and pretended he didn't know me. That was the name we agreed we'd both use if we met and we needed to pretend to be strangers around each other.
After the many years he had lived through, Russell was bored out of his mind. So our little play of characters had him intrigued and I'm sure he watched the entire situation as one would watch a theater play.
He saw my concern for the wounded Sookie in my arms and I knew it took a lot for him to not come and comfort me. He knew that I loved her before I did.
So now, despite my jealous and protective streak, I trusted Russell. I know it ate Sookie up to be left in the dark about something as important as her true genealogy and nature, but I also knew that Russell wasn't one to speak before he was ready.
So with that knowledge I tried to bide my time until all was revealed. Of course, my mind was full of contingency plans, of ways to protect Sookie.
I had yet to get a good idea about her powers, but I was hell-bent on teaching her how to protect herself, regardless of any abilities she might develop. Thus, sword training and hand-to-hand combat were my current concerns.
As we sat in the garden, waiting to start our session, I watched the weres slowly making their way to the woods. I had seen Jason briefly before, in his panther form, although I didn't know it was him at the time. I figured it out when Sookie described him from the readings she got on his mind, but I was fairly certain that I was right.
So when instead of the mangy-looking panther stood a fierce animal I was stuck. I had no idea how that happened or why Jason had turned into a full panther, when he was only bitten and not born into it.
"Didn't you say…" I asked, trying to make sure I wasn't simply mixing things up.
"I did, yes. I'm sure of it," Sookie breathed out. "Absolutely positive".
I chanced a glance at the King who was now staring at Jason as well. Wheels were spinning for him and I could see him starting to make sense of what was happening.
"I must go. Enjoy your evening," he said abruptly, as he made his way towards the mansion.
"Jason is confused. I can't get much of a read on him right now, but I can sense that," she said. "Go on, Jase, we'll figure it out," she yelled at him.
The panther seemed to nod once before following the others into the night.
"Well, well, well," Pam smirked, licking her lips. "I knew he was an animal in bed".
That snapped Sookie from her shock. "Pam, really. Eww."
"What? I was just stating the obvious," she smirked.
"Of course you were."
Sookie sighed and rubber her face with her hands. She was frustrated by it all and scared of what everything meant, I'm sure.
If Jason was now a full panther, regardless of what triggered this change, it meant that her visions would come true. That led to the other vision she had, about being kidnapped. My fury spiked at the thought. I didn't know how I could prevent it, but I wasn't going to let anything happen to her. Ever.
Sookie walked into my body, the sword still in her hand. I embraced her and moved my hand over her back.
"We'll figure something out."
"I know," she replied into my shirt.
A few minutes later she drew back and sighed.
"Shall we start?"
And with that, Pam and I started training her in swords play. We taught her to defend herself, to attack and to predict the steps of her potential enemies.
Although her stance left something to be desired, she was getting pretty good. I had taught Pam the same things after I turned her, just as Appius had taught me. I didn't want to think of them being unprotected in any situation, so I was adamant on making sure my children knew how to fight.
Sookie and Pam danced in a circle, swords in hand, practicing the moves I showed them. I knew it would do Pam some good too, as it had been a while since she needed to yield a sword. Sookie lunged forward, almost scraping her opponent's arm, but Pam parried in time.
"Watch your blade Sookie. Wouldn't want to ruin a perfectly good blouse, now do we?"
"Well, you didn't have to wear a silk shirt," my mate taunted and I tried to avoid my amusement in the bond.
I knew I didn't succeed when they both turned to look at me at the same time. I simply smirked and made a sign for them to carry on.
For the next couple of hours we traded places, attacking and defending ourselves. Sookie also tried a few more blades, but as I expected, she enjoyed the scimitar the most as it gave her an ample range. She made a point to mention that the shape suited her since she always liked to twirl. Just because that simply applied to dancing before, didn't mean it couldn't transfer into her fighting technique.
I made a mental note to go over that particular motion with her in the next nights. For now, she needed to feed.
The three of us walked back to the mansion and Pam took her leave, heading straight for her chambers. I was fairly certain she'd be waiting for Jason's return, but I wasn't going to make a comment about it. Her affairs and escapades were her own and I never got myself involved in the middle of it; no matter if she was into men or women for a particular week. And I wasn't going to get involved now either.
Jason was a charmer and with his girlfriend dead, I was sure he was in mourning. I gave it a couple of months until he and Pam got bored of each other. She was his rebound, he was her flavor of the week.
Sookie and I headed for the donor's lounge and all eyes were on us the second we walked in.
She motioned for a beautiful brunette to join us. "One more," I breathed out. She looked up in confusion, but motioned for a red headed male.
The four of us stepped inside the private quarters and I instructed Sookie to take a seat on the couch. She did as I asked and took the hand of the brunette, guiding her to the same place.
"Tonight I think you need to learn how to feed on another important spot, Sookie: the wrist. The blood flow is less than in the carotid or femoral arteries, so you need to suck a little harder."
"Will you join me?" she asked, her eyes hooded. My lust spiked instantly at the thought of sharing a donor with my lover so I simply nodded.
I sat on the couch and had the donor take a seat between us. She extended her arms to the both of us and smiled in complete confidence.
"Mind her heartbeat," I instructed again, before tending on her wrist.
With both of us working on her wrists, the donor's temperature started to rise slightly with her arousal. I glanced at my Lover and found her watching me. We both struck at the same time and the woman moaned in pleasure.
We fed a few mouthfuls each before we released her. Since Sookie hadn't needed my aid this time, I sent her pride in the bond. She was learning to tame her impulses much faster than I had hoped. However, I was losing control over mine as my desire to have her grew with each sucking sound she made.
We motioned for the man to replace the brunette, who was now waiting by the door, a dazed look on her face.
We repeated the process and again, after a few drags, we let the man walk away. As soon as they were out the door, I was on top of Sookie.
While I may not have bothered with such proprieties, I knew Sookie was still sensitive to this type of thing. Her response was immediate and our desire bounced between us in the bond as I kissed her. She moved on the couch, laying her body under mind.
Her legs wrapped around my waist and I ground myself into her, making her gasp in pleasure.
My hands went to her tank-top and I ripped it open in the front, displaying her beautiful breasts encased in a silk bra. I licked her mounds as she squirmed underneath me, grinding her pussy on my aching cock. Her hands pressed me into her tits and I didn't waste time in sucking on her hard nipples.
She moaned and moved her hands to my shirt, pealing it off me. Our skin met and I felt every nerve ending on my body come alive.
I groaned and pressed myself into her more fully. She arched her back, pushing her chest into my mouth.
I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed her and lifted myself in a sitting position and placed her on my lap. Her hips immediately ground to my hard length and my eyes rolled into the back of my head. What this woman could do to me…
Her hand snaked between us and into the waistband of my slacks, gripping my cock into her fist as she kissed my neck. Her fangs dragged across my skin and I shivered in anticipation. The bite didn't come but she ripped the button of my pants and lowered the zipper to have better access.
My hands went to her ass and I pushed her pants down her hips, enjoying the feel of her skin in my palms. She moaned and moved to kiss my lips.
I ripped off her yoga pants without regrets. Her ass had taunted me all night. Sookie gasped but didn't waste time before placing me in the right spot and slowly sliding down my length.
She started grinding against me over and over. Our foreheads were joined and we were both watching as my cock disappeared into her dripping-wet pussy over and over again. I growled and my hands found her ass again, guiding her along my length.
Sookie's head lolled back as she sped up her movements. I moved my hand between us, wetting my fingers with her juices before rubbing her sensitive clit. Her muscles twitched immediately and her moans got louder, as her thrusts became erratic.
I leaned forward and captured her tit in my mouth, letting my fangs pierce the skin. The first drag I took brought her over the edge, screaming my name.
I released her breast and brought her face to mine, kissing her deeply as she came down from her high.
"Fuck, Eric", she breathed.
"Yes, Sookie. You like how I fuck you, pretty girl?" I asked, knowing how she liked it when I talked dirty to her. Her pussy twitched again in reply and I quickly moved us around, placing her on her knees on the couch. Her hands rested on the back of the seat and her ass popped up as she positioned herself.
I entered her in one quick thrust and we both moaned at the sensation. I thrust in and out of her, moving my hands all over the skin of her back, eliciting goose bumps and small shivers. I moved to her tits, never relenting in my fast thrusts. I pinched her nipples and she came again, tightening around my cock.
"You are mine, Sookie. Mine and only mine," I groaned as I leaned over her.
"Yes," she mewled, trembling.
With one hand still kneading on her tits and the other lowering to play with her clit, I kept thrusting into her.
"Oh God!" Sookie screamed as she gave herself over to another orgasm. I closed my eyes and let myself go as well, as her walls contracted around me.
We panted for breaths that we did not need. We slumped down on the couch, kissing like two horny teenagers. I wanted her once more, but dawn was approaching and I wanted to be in the safety of our chambers. She quickly dressed in my shirt since her clothes were in pieces on the floor.
"Coming?" she asked, peeking over her shoulder as she went towards the door.
I growled and sped after her, racing towards our room.
Reviews are love! Let me know what you think!
If you subscribe to my blog (gabrielleblue dot wordpress dot com) you'll be able to get the next chappy earlier. Depending on how many of you will visit me there I'll post it a day or two earlier than I will here. I'm really trying to get you all to move there cause with the amounts of lemons I write, they'll probably nix my profile one day or another.
Anyway, BIG revelations are coming in chapter 13, so watch out for it this week. Just saying. hehe
xoxo
