Godric's POV

Knock knock

Still asleep.

"Sam?" Sookie called.

Still asleep.

"Sammy?" A little louder.

Mild irritation.

"SAMANTHA!" Sookie finally shouted.

THUNK IRRITATION!

"For the love of all that is sacred, WHAT?!" The little brunette hissed as she opened the door. The young woman sported a tussled bed head, and soft black pajama pants. Instead of a shirt, she wore something of a sports bra in black with 'BITE ME' in messy scrawl across her left breast.

"We're... leaving in an hour. You might want to get dressed." Sookie gulped.

"Are you trying to tease me?" Eric was quick to flirt with her. She looked at him blankly for a moment, only to shut the door in Sookie's face.

Amusement.

"That wasn't very nice of her." Eric commented dryly.

"She's just tired, I think. She hates being around too many people. Can cause sensory overload." Sookie murmured.

Little One's door opened to reveal a tired young woman hefting a bag, now dressed in a soft black long sleeved shirt that had been modified to hang off the shoulders with holes for her thumbs, black cargo pants, and scuffed tennis shoes. Her hair was in an unruly bun held up with a lone plastic pen. She also had a grey jacket tied around her waist. "Everyone ready?"

There was a collective nod, and she dumped her bag on the already half full trolley before her. "Lead the way then."

I'm glad I decided to stay with Eric for the forseeable future.


Samantha's POV

"Sam, we're here." Sookie whispered. I caught the whiff of alcohol on her breath, and wrinkled my nose.

"I'm up." I garbled, bleary eyed. I quickly put in a set of contacts, and rose to leave the plane. It was still dark out, so the Vampires had seats with us. Godric was on the other side of me, smiling. "So, not like I'm complaining or anything, but why didn't you go with Eric?"

"The first class was full." He supplied.

"Ah." I yawned, covering my mouth with a hand. He stood, ready to shuffle out alongside me. My phone buzzed as soon as turned it on, showing an email from my bank. I clicked it. My eyes widened. "How did he get my account number, Sookie?"

Sookie blushed, "I may have given it to him...?" It was an uneasy smile.

I frowned at her. "I didn't even do anything. Don't know why he's paying me." I grumbled.

"Perhaps he feels that he owes you for something?" Godric murmured in my ear. I shivered at the displaced air brushing my ear.

"He doesn't." I looked behind me, as I walked out of the terminal.

"I do, though." Godric looked into my eyes.

"No, you don't." I stared into his blue eyes.

"Why not?" I noticed Sookie snatching our bags off of the conveyor belt.

"Because I was being selfish."

"You convinced me to continue living."

"I guilted you into it." He paused, trying to understand why I didn't even want thanking.

"Perhaps, but it worked."

"True..." Sookie was waving me forward.

"I want you to come to Fangtasia tomorrow. I still haven't fed." I looked up at him sternly to see him walking away with a wink.


"You're going where?!" Sookie damn near shrieked.

"Fangtasia." I pulled on an identical shirt on as yesterday except it had the words, 'Having a vagina doesn't stop me from believing my balls are bigger than yours' written across my chest.

"Why?" She looked completely shocked.

"Godric asked." I looked up as I zipped my form fitting black jeans. Sookie was staring at me in wonder.

"Is this about offering your blood to him?" She asked, almost to herself. I tied my scuffed shoes, found some grey cosmetic contacts, and blinked them in then tied my hair back into a high pony tail. I packed my pack purse with my wallet, some odds and ends, a book, some pencils, and a sketchbook.

"Probably." I situated one strap one strap over a shoulder and snatched her car keys from her hand.

"Be careful, okay?" I could hear her worry.

"I will."

The drive wasn't very exciting, but as soon as I saw the line to get in, I pulled out my trusty headphones. It was still a short line, but I knew that it was still early. I made sure I had my ID in hand.

"ID." A bored blond held out her hand. I handed it over. She looked it over, an recognition sparked in her eyes. She handed it back over to me. "Godric is waiting in the back office. Eric will take you."

"Thank you." I slid into the club, and cranked my music up. I scanned the room, finding Eric sitting on a chair that could only be called a throne. My eye twitched.

"You really are full of yourself, aren't you?" I walked up to the stage. He looked at me over his smartphone and smirked.

"You really are adorable, aren't you?" He countered. He stood up, then proceeded to lead me away from all the excess noise. "Godric said you would show up. I didn't doubt it, though."

"He had the gall to tell me that he still hasn't fed. Of course I came." I crossed my arms under my breasts. He eyed me as I did so.

"I'm glad he chose you." He murmured, then opened a door and pushed me inside gently. "Here she is." Then he shut the door behind me.

I blinked. I looked behind me for a moment before turning back to Godric, confusion on my face, only for my eyes to widen. He wore a dark grey cashmere sweater with a wide scoop neckline, showing off one of his tattoos. My eyes zeroed in on it, tracing the design with my eyes.

"I'm glad you made it." He was smiling, opening his arms in welcome.

"You knew I would. You haven't fed at all. If I have to be your only donor, I will." I stood over his sitting form.

"Would you?" He looked up, into my eyes. I blinked in surprise. I hadn't expected that one. "Get comfortable." He gestured to my eyes. I shrugged off my pack, and rummaged for my extra contacts case, and extracted my contacts. I blinked at his high definition face. Not one flaw. He reflected his soul so well.

"So, how exactly does this work?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he smiled.

"Sit in my lap." I obeyed with a shrug. He pulled me back until my back was flush against his chest. "Is this comfortable?" His whisper in my ear caused a small shiver.

"Hmmm... yes. Do you mind if I grab my book?" I asked, causing a chuckle to ghost over my shoulder.

"Go ahead." His arms disappeared from around me, and I leaned forward to grab my book from my bag. I leaned back into his chest, flipping to page one of Pride & Prejudice and concentrated on the words on the pages as Godric began nuzzling the crook of my neck. His arms had wound around my waist, pulling me even closer. I was on page ten before I even heard the snik! of his fangs popping out. He barely even bit before retracting his fangs. I realized he was just allowing a slow flow of blood to leave my body. He continued to lick over the wound he had created, while still keeping his lips firmly around the wound. I smiled, relaxing further into him, crossing my legs and turning to the next page.

We were still in this position about thirty minutes later, when he finally withdrew. He nicked his finger on one of his fangs, and rubbed his own blood over the shallow wounds to make it seem like nothing had even happened. He didn't move, though. He still held me against himself, nuzzling against my neck. I didn't comment. I figured tat if he wanted to use me as a teddy bear, he was well within his rights. Besides. I had become content in his lap. I was half way through the book when an hour later, Eric opened the door without knocking.

"If you two are still fucking-" He looked at our clothed figures in surprise.

"We were having sex? Godric, why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have put my book down first." My eyes didn't even leave the page I was currently reading as I spoke in a deadpanned tone. Both Vampires were roaring with laughter as I finally looked around with a stoic expression on my face. "Something I said?"

"You are, without a doubt, the funniest human I've ever met." Eric chortled.

"I am so sorry." I kept my face blank. "Nobody should endure that kind of boredom."

"You are funny, little one." Godric murmured against my neck. His lips whispered against my skin, causing another shiver to skitter down my spine. "But, he has a reason for thinking such things."

"Oh?" I turned sideways in his lap, discarding my book on the coffee table.

"Yes, there is something I haven't had time to tell you about just yet. The side effects of my blood." He was watching my face as he spoke.

"Sookie already told me." I shrugged. "Enhanced senses, looking healthier, increased sex drive... And erotic dreams of the Vampire that gave me the blood. Did I get all of it?"

Godric blinked in surprise. "Aside from the attraction to me, yes."

"It isn't that big of a deal." I smiled ruefully.

"Oh?" Eric sat at his desk, watching me with a smirk.

"Yes. I'm already hyper aware of everything, so my senses aren't that big of a problem. Looking healthier just helps over all, I don't really have a libido to speak of, so it might prove amusing to develope that, and I don't dream very often, or at least don't remember them, so they aren't a bother." I explained matter of factly.

"And the attraction?"Godric's voice was strained.

"I was already attracted to you, the moment I saw your soul. The only differences are that the attraction is more carnal now, and you can feel it." A soft groan was uttered into my neck. "I'm sorry for being so blunt. Sookie always says I'm socially inept, and at times like these, I have to agree with her."

"No. I just didn't expect such a response." Godric leaned his head against the back of the couch.

"Besides, I did hear correctly when I heard you had tastes that were more geared toward men?" I commented. "This has to be hard on you." Godric stared at me wide eyed, speechless.

"He prefers men mostly, but he can be attracted to women too." Eric supplied cheekily. I looked over to him to see a glint flash in his eyes.

"Ah." I acknowledged.

Godric buried his face into my neck and mumbled something unintelligible. I wasn't sure what he said, but the tightening of his arms around my waist was a big indicator that he enjoyed my presence so close. I wrapped an arm around his shoulders, and began rubbing his back.

I had just about commented that I needed to head home, when my phone buzzed. I flicked it open to see a message from Sookie. Find a hotel in Shreveport. There's trouble brewing here. I sighed.

"Where's the closest hotel?" I asked aloud.

"Why?" Godric looked down at me with alarm.

"Sookie says trouble's brewing in town, so I have to stay in Shreveport for a while." I rubbed the bridge of my nose a I closed my eyes in exasperation. "My cousin finds trouble way too often for my comfort."

"A hotel isn't necessary." Eric spoke up with narrowed eyes. "You'll stay with us."

"I will? I don't remember agreeing to this." I frowned at the blond. He glared at me.

"Please stay with us?" Godric tightened his grip on my waist. I looked at his head resting on my shoulder.

"...Fine." I gasped in exasperation. "But I'm making a stop at the closest Wal-Mart. I need a few changes of clothes and other essentials." I grumbled. I crossed my arms under my breasts again. I noted both Vampires were now staring at my breasts. I uncrossed my arms uncomfortably. "Dammit."
