A/N: ok, I realize now that I never mentioned that Sookie can't read vamps. She found this out last night when she met her first vamps (Richard and Vincent) it wasn't addressed in that chapter because she was telling a story to Eric who doesn't know about the telepathy. Just wanted to clear that up. I got so excited writing almost non stop that not all the stuff in my brain made it on screen. That being said here is 5.

And of course to all those that reviewed, faved and alerted, thank you so much. It's like Christmas every time I check my email.

Chapter 5

SPOV

"Enter"

The door to the suite opened and a very large man entered, easily seven feet tall and bigger than the broad side of a barn. He had curly brown hair that framed his face and light green eyes. He bowed quickly to Eric.

"Your Majesty"

"It had better be important Stavi."

"One of Richard's humans is here for the girl." I dropped my shields and heard the girl Jenna who had brought me here earlier. She was collecting me so that I could be made ready for the meeting tonight. Seems I was to be the guest of honor. The King had decided he wanted to claim me tonight as his new pet in front of all of his guests. It was his favorite way to show off. Then Jenna's thoughts quickly went to when she was claimed. The King fed from her and fucked her for all to see. This was just the beginning of an orgy that lasted until almost dawn in which she was passed back and forth between all the guests. Sookie could see all the sick and perverted things that had been done to the poor girl and she didn't understand how anyone could actually enjoy that. Jenna was hoping to be allowed to participate in this orgy as well. She had been so good lately. She thought Sookie was very pretty and she wanted to watch the King and his childe fuck her together. Her thoughts became random images of sex by that point.

Jenna was a pretty loud broadcaster and with shields down her thoughts were very clear and graphic. I felt the bile rise up my throat and ran to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet with my head between my knees and managed to keep down the little bit of dinner I had forced myself to eat earlier. Eric followed directly behind me looking very concerned.

"Little one?…What is wrong?"

I stared at him for several seconds unable to speak. I didn't know what to tell him. Do I try and lie? Or do I out myself as a telepath. My Gran always warned me to keep that a secret. She did want people to try and exploit me for what I could do. I think she was worried about the FBI or CIA or something, but I would assume it would be same for vampire royalty, wouldn't you. I had already learned how dangerous vamps could be. But Eric hadn't hurt me, hadn't forced anything. He promised to protect me right? I am so confused. I could see he was getting a little frustrated at my silence. Oh fuck it, what do I have to lose?

"The King is going to claim me tonight at you meeting. Then I get to be the main attraction at the celebratory orgy. I thought I was gonna be sick." I couldn't look him in the eye as I spoke. He was silent for several seconds.

"How do you know this?" Eric's voice was slightly colder than before and I braced myself for his reaction.

"I'm a telepath, I heard the thoughts of the girl outside the room. She was pretty graphic."

Nothing….no answer, no expression, just a very intense stare. Finally he answered in a very even measured tone.

"Can you hear my thoughts Sookie?

EPOV

A Fucking Telepath! You have to be shitting me. Richard Harmon must truly be the stupidest fucking vampire…ever! I was already questioning his sanity for letting ME anywhere near his new pet. As it was I had already claimed her and was looking forward to rubbing his face in it, but now it will be all the sweeter. She is beautiful, delicious, and apparently an incredibly rare talent. I couldn't believe my luck. I had only one concern.

"Can you hear my thoughts Sookie?" Her eyes grew wide and she shook her head emphatically.

"No, I can sense a presence but it is like a void, just a bubble or a place holder, but no thoughts." I believed her but felt like testing her anyway. I began to think of horrible things I had seen over the years, things I had done in the past, things I wanted to do to Sookie, and there was no reaction. Not even a change in heart rate. Her emotions didn't change either and I could still feel that she trusted me. She would be terrified of me if she had heard a fraction of my mental broadcast. I will have to test her further when we return to Minnesota to see the extent of her abilities concerning weres, shifters and such.

"Stay here, I will be right back." I went back to living area. "Stavi, send the human away, inform her that I will bring the girl to the meeting myself. That is all." He left the room and I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket.

"Pam"

"Yes Master."

"I need you to acquire some clothing for a female, size eight I would say. Sexy but tasteful, you know what I like. I need it NOW."

"Of course Master….20 minutes?"

"Fine" I hung up. My childe was very resourceful and had excellent taste. I hoped that she and Sookie would get along. I went back into the bathroom and Sookie was sitting on the edge of the bathtub, still looking a little green. I gathered her into my arms and took her into the bedroom. I sat her on the bed and kneeled in front of her, my hands on top of her thighs.

"Does anyone else know of your ability?"

"The only one's who knew for sure were my Gran and my brother and they're both dead." she said sadly.

"And the Richard does not suspect?"

"Not to my knowledge."

"Good, we will tell no one else except my childe. I know that she can be trusted."

"You are not upset?"

"No, little one, You were very smart to keep your secret. Many would try to use you and hurt you to control you ability. You do not deserve that."

"But not you? You don't want use it too?"

"I hope that you would be willing to lend you telepathy to me on occasion, but I will never force you or put you in harms way deliberately. You must remember I claimed you as mine before I know of this little development. I want you for much more than your gift, much more." I began to inch my hands upwards towards the apex of her thighs. I pulled the tie of her robe with my teeth and it fell open revealing her beautiful curves. I brushed the thumb of one hand lightly over the fabric of her panties and she parted her legs slightly. She was blushing the most delightful shade of red and biting her bottom lip. She had no idea how fucking sexy she was, it was maddening.

I pushed her legs further apart and leaned in closer, capturing her lips in a searing kiss. I started to rub her through her panties while I pulled her bra down with my free hand and proceeded to tease her nipples to hard little peaks. She was moaning into my mouth, making me painfully hard, and I was dying (haha) to be inside her.

"May I join you Master?"

Sookie shrieked and scramble back onto the bed pulling the robe closed. She even grabbed and pillow and hid behind it. She peered over the top and had the darkest red blush yet creeping up her cheeks.

"Pamela, can you not knock?"

"You left the door open."

"That is not the fucking point!"

"I am sorry Master." and she truly was. Pam hated when I yelled at her. My child was very spoiled and very loyal. I indulged her every whim and was lenient with her to a fault, but she knew where to draw the line and just what would happen to her if she crossed it.

"Sookie, this is my child Pam. Pam this is my Sookie." Pam noticed I had called her mine and quirked her eyebrow at me.

"Please to meet you." Sookie answered, still hiding behind the pillow."

"Likewise I'm sure. These must be for you." She tossed a garment bag on the bed.

"Two dresses, under things, shoes. You should be pleased Eric."

"Well done thank you. Sookie, why don't you have a look and get dressed while Pam and I wait outside." She nodded her acceptance and we left the room. As soon as the door was shut Pam started in on me.

'Oh, Master. Where did you find that little morsel. She smells divine!"

"She was a gift from King Richard. She was going to be announced as his new pet tonight. I have decided I am keeping her and will be informing him at tonight's meeting. And she tastes divine too Pam the way, to bad for you I do not think I will be sharing"

"So unfair! But do you think Richard is going to be Ok with you claiming his pet? He has never been one to just concede anything, even when he knows he cannot win"

"Its is too late anyway, we have already had the first exchange and beside when have you ever known me to back down either."

"Point taken, but are you sure this is wise? I thought we were here to form an alliance not piss off our host. Are you sure she is worth the trouble?"

"Even if she did not taste like the nectar of the god's Pam, she would be worth it."

"And why is that?'

"For starters I have never wanted another like this. It is a need I cannot explain but my instincts tell me to keep her close to me and besides, she's a telepath."

"Shit! Are you serious? A fucking telepath? Richard doesn't know, does he?"

"No, he doesn't know and he will not find out. We must make sure of this. He would be tempted to do something even stupider than usual."

"I often wonder how he has stayed in power as long as he has. He is only 600 years or so, and he is not much of a strategizer. To take you on directly would be downright foolish."

"I believe he owes much to his childe Vincent. He is a genius with an IQ that is so high it cannot be determined. He is also very loyal to his maker."

"You think Richard is a puppet?"

"Not exactly, but he relies heavily on his childes judgment." She nods her agreement and the bedroom door creeps open. Sookie walks out slowly and she is stunning in a blood red silk halter dress that flairs slightly at the waist and falls to just above her knees. The shoes are black peep toe pumps with red accents and a three inch heel. Both mine and Pam's fangs run out at the sight of her.

"I take that to mean I look alright?"

"Little one, you look beautiful, I assure you. If we did not have to leave for this meeting, we would be finishing what we started a few minutes ago." Another blush, I think I am already addicted to the sight of her blushing and would love nothing more than to continue to tease her, but we have little time and I must prepare Sookie for what may happen at the meeting.

"Sookie, I need to you to listen and do exactly as I say tonight, Ok?" she nods. "I will have to treat you very differently in front of other vampires. Not Pam of course, because she is my childe, but I must maintain a strong position in front of other royalty. I will have to treat you like a pet. Please believe me when I say I do not like this. But I must." Again she nods, but I can almost see her internal debate. "I may say things tonight that will make you angry, I do not mean them, it will be purely for show. I will treat you like an object, a toy, and for that I am sorry. You may also see things tonight that sicken you. Please know that not all vampire are as depraved as they can and will be"

"I understand Eric, I may not like it, but we all have our part to play in this. I will do whatever you need me to do. I can't stay here. I'd rather die."

"Honestly, death would probably be a preferable alternative to what you would experience at the hands of those two. I have heard stories of their cruelty, Vincent's especially. I will not allow this to happen. You will be safe and you will come home with me." My tone brokered no room for argument.

"Pam, I want you to keep a close eye on Vincent, he does not get near Sookie. Understood?"

"Oh course Master."

"Are you ready Sookie?" I take her hand and lead her to the door.

"No, but let's just get this over with." I nod my agreement and open the door.

"Ladies, after you."
