A/N: Sorry, Epic fail on getting this chapter out on time. I started a new job, I am still trying to finish unpacking, and now my sister is moving in with us, so it's been a little crazy. This chapter is the last one before dawn. I can't believe it took 12 chapters to get here. Much longer than I anticipated it would, but that's cool. I already have part of 13 done, so give me a day or two and it should be up. This chapter is full of lemony goodness to make up for its lateness, there is much plot in the next one.

I have been getting some great Ideas for where to take this and I really appreciate all the help and encouragement I have been given. Please keep the love flowing, it really does make me write faster. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this thing. I know just how little time we all have every day, so knowing that so many used their's to read what I put out there is so awesome. Hope you like this one!

Chapter 12

SPOV

I was sitting on Eric's lap in his office, waiting to meet the man/tiger that was my new bodyguard. I am hoping he is not a total ass, because if I am going to have to spend everyday with this person, I better be able to stand them or we were gonna have a problem. I tuned out the vamps, I was tired and they were speaking really fast and low, so I wasn't sure I would understand anyway.

There was a sudden knock at the door and in walked what had to be the largest man I had ever seen. He has about 4 inches on Eric and he is about 6'5". He was the kind of guy that really stood out from the crowd. Not only was he tall, he was built like a brick wall and had a shaved head. He reminded me of Vin Diesel, but bigger and he looks pissed. So this was Quinn? Well he certainly looks like someone I wouldn't want to mess with, I guess that's a plus when you are a bodyguard. I watch him as he surveys the room, is eyes landing on me and his stare begins to make me feel self conscious. I feel Eric getting tense behind me just before Quinn speaks

"Your Majesty, if I may, just what the fuck is going on here?" Oh, wow. Not what I expected him to say.

"I want to offer you a job"

"Excuse me? Why would you buy my debt, and fly me out here with no notice and no choice to offer me a job?"

"I bought your debt because you are the best at what you do and I require the best. I flew you here because that is where the job is, I had no real notice of the situation myself so you were required to come immediately. And as for no choice, you have a choice. If you do not accept the job, you will owe me the price I paid for your debt. $3 million by the way." 'No, fucking way. He paid 3 million just to get him here. Why in the hell would he pay that much just to get me a bodyguard(that I don't even think I need). I'm sure they have cheaper ones that don't have to be flown in from god know where. Where does one go to find a tiger? I wonder what he looks like in tiger form? Oh my goodness Sookie…quit worrying about that and pay attention!'

"And just what would I being doing that is so important?"

"You will be guarding My Sookie."

"What the fuck is a Sookie?" Did he just refer to me as a what? I raised my hand to get his attention.

"I'm Sookie you Jackass. Sookie Stackhouse, nice to meet you, I guess." he opened his mouth to say something else, but I jumped off Eric's lap and cut him off

"And before you ask, no, I am not Eric's whore, or his slave, or his pet for that matter. I am his companion and as such you will treat me like the lady I am!" he had the decency to look admonished and he actually apologized. Maybe there was hope for this one yet.

"I'm John Quinn, please call me Quinn." he offered his hand to shake and I noticed that his skin was very warm and with a glace above me to Eric, he dropped my hand rather abruptly.

"You can call me Sookie"

"It's very nice to meet you." I nodded my agreement and sat back on Eric's lap, sinking into him, resting my head on his shoulder. Even with my nap earlier, it had been a trying last couple of days and I was really starting to feel how exhausted I was. I tried to listen as they negotiated terms and talked money and benefits. I found my self nodding off by then end and all I really knew was that besides his debt being written off he was being paid a shit load of money and getting all kinds of other perks to be my shadow. I hope I didn't bore him to much, but I figured that he was getting compensated enough that he could deal with a little boredom.

And then they were done, Quinn took the offer (who really expected him to say no?) and before I knew it, Eric asked Stavi to show Quinn where he could sleep for now and then everyone left. Eric held me one his lap for a bit longer, snuggling against me, nuzzling his face into my hair and neck. When he started kissing the sensitive skin there, I could feel the moisture start to pool between my thighs and I was amazed at how quickly my body responded to him. I turned my head to face him and he captured my lips in a searing kiss that I felt down to my toes. His tongue danced with mine and he tasted so good. My hand moved across his thigh and rested on the gracious bulge that was straining against his jeans.

His fangs clicked down and without thinking I pressed my tongue into one pierced it. As the tasted my blood hit him he became frenzied, his hands were everywhere and I was overwhelmed with the sudden need to taste him. I pulled away from his kiss and slid out of his lap and onto my knees in front of him. His eyes went wide as he figured out what I wanted and then his confused expression was replaced with a smug little smirk. If he didn't look so damn sexy making that face I would have half a mind to slap him, but damn he wore smug well.

I reached up and unbuttoned his jeans. With his help, I was able to get the down past his knees and I wrapped my hands around him and began to stroke, twisting when I reached the head. He leaned back into his chair, a sigh escaping his lips. I leaned forward and put the head into my mouth, twirling my tongue around it and reveling in his taste. I pushed down, fitting as much as I could in my mouth and stroking the rest with my hand. He began to moan softly and he wound his fingers in my hair gently, taking care not to pull too hard.

"Oh, Sookie…yes." I took my other hand and cupped his balls, squeezing lightly. I had never done anything like this before, but I had seen it done so many times in other people's minds. I must have been doing a pretty good job, because Eric's moaning became louder and I could see that he was straining to keep his hips still. I squeezed his balls tighter and grazed his head with my teeth.

"Oh, fuck, bite a little, oh yes like that." I bit him lightly, not breaking the skin and then began to suck and stroke harder. I never thought I would like doing this, let alone enjoy it. But here I was, getting incredibly turned on. I took my hand off his balls snaked it between my legs and began to stroke my clit.

"That's it Little one, touch yourself, rub that pretty pussy for me." If I was hot before, I felt like I was going to explode at his words. I took him deeper into my mouth and I could feel him hitting the back of my throat. I was overwhelmed by all the sensations around me. I slid two fingers inside myself and moved them in and out, in time with the rhythm of my mouth. I knew I was going to come and I imagined Eric's cock buried deep inside me. That thought threw me over the edge and I screamed my release around his dick.

"Sookie…" He only got out one word and I looked up, locking eyes with him. I pulled my mouth away for a second.

"Eric, I want to taste you, please." then I took him back in my mouth, sucking harder, going deeper. A low growl started in his chest and it caused my pussy to throb. I moaned and kept my eyes locked with his. I had never seen anything as beautiful as Eric, fangs fully extended, with a look of pure ecstasy on his face.

"Det är min gudinna, knulla mig med din mun, ta allt jag har att ge!" And then he came with a roar. I swallowed it all, then licked him clean, I couldn't get enough. I could taste a hint of his blood and that made me want it all the more. I squeezed his cock one more time and a small pink pearl oozed from the tip. Still looking him right in the eyes, I licked the drop and the swirled my tongue once more around the head.

Before I could blink, he pulled me up into his lap again and was kissing me hard. I laced my fingers in his hair and pulled him closer to me, he seemed to like that so I pulled harder and he thrust his hips up at me.

"I want to fuck you in my bed so that I can rest surrounded by your scent."

"Then take me there." In a flash we were across the room. Vampire speed was going to take some serious getting used to. Eric stood next to a large bookcase that must have held a few hundred books. I had my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms still around his neck. Like something out of a cheesy horror movie, he reached out and pulled one of the books. This opened a hidden panel where Eric typed in a long passcode and placed his thumb on a little glowing scanner. The bookcase suddenly split down the middle and opened to reveal a short hallway. After we stepped inside the bookcase came back together and closed behind us.

At the end of the hallway was a large door that looked a little like a bank vault. Again Eric put in a passcode, but this time it was followed by a retinal scan before the door would open. Inside was giant bedroom larger than my whole apartment. The walls were painted a chocolate brown, the carpet was a very deep pile and was a soft cream color. There was a fireplace on one wall with an honest to goodness polar bear skin rug in front of it. I looked at the rug and then back at him with a raised eyebrow, he just laughed.

On the wall opposite the fireplace was by far the biggest bed I have ever seen. It was a four poster canopy that must have dwarfed a California king. It had to have been custom made. The wood was a dark mahogany color and it was draped in flowing white silk. I didn't have time to notice anything else before I was whisked across the room and stood me next to the bed.

Eric undid the clasp behind my neck and pulled down the top of my dress. At the sight of my breasts he became impatient and ripped it off me entirely. I was now bare before him and he dropped to his knees in front of me. He began to speak to me in some beautiful language and I started to relax.

"Du är så vacker liten en, och du är min. Jag älskar dig min söta Sookie. Jag kommer att älska dig för evigt." he inhaled deeply and let out what I can only describe as a purr. Eric sate me down on the bed and on his knees he was the perfect height to kiss me and he did, dear god did he ever! It was amazing what that man could do with his mouth. His lips were soft an they caressed mine almost reverently. I could feel his need or me and it was nearly as much as I needed him. When I need to breathe he left my lips and started a trail down my neck, stop to give my pulse point some extra attention. I was getting so wet that when I rubbed my thighs together seeking some sort of friction, I could feel that my thighs were actually slick from my arousal.

And then he reached my breasts and I couldn't help the "Oh fuck yessss!" that flew out of my mouth when his tongue twirled around my rock hard nipple and then he sucked hard. He continued to lick, kiss, nip and suck at my breasts until I was whimpering, begging him to touch me, my clit was throbbing, screaming for attention, and I started to reach down and relieve the pressure.

"Oh, no my little Sookie, that is all for me." he punctuated this statement, by laying me back on the bed and spreading my legs wide. I was so hot for him I was literally dripping and Eric moaned at the sight of me splayed open for him, so wet for him.

EPOV

I have never seen anything as fucking hot as Sookie laying across my bed naked, her legs spread, the evidence of her want dripping down her thighs. I moaned at the sight and did what I had longed to do all night, I ran my tongue along her folds, her taste overwhelming me, I became lost in her. She was so fucking sweet, I never wanted to stop. I lapped up everything that spilled from her greedily. When I took her clit in my mouth and began to suck, she screamed my name and buck her hips, grinding her pussy into my face. And I loved every second of it. I inserted two fingers into her tight, wet hole and pumped them in and out as I continued my assault on her clit, alternating between sucking and licking. She was writhing against the bed and shaking her head back and forth. I wanted to see her face when she came, needed to see it.

"Look at me Sookie." her eyes snapped to mine. I curled my fingers inside her and that was all it took to send her flying over the edge. She came with a gush, coating my hand, and I made sure I got every drop of her sweet nectar. Her eyes were still locked on mine, her face was flushed and a sheen of sweat had formed on her skin. She was beautiful and I was thanking every God I have ever heard of for sending her to me.

"Eric, please….I want to feel you inside me." her words had me cursing my vampire state for the first time since right after I was turned. Dawn was fast approaching, there was to little time. I pulled her to me, and kissed her. My erection was straining against her hip and she reached down and began to stroke me. As good as it felt it wasn't helping.

"Sookie, my love, it is almost dawn. I have to rest, I have no choice." she actually pouted for a second before snuggling into me and sighing.

"Hold me then? Til you fall asleep."

"Of course." I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"Quickly I need to tell you a few things." she nodded for me to continue. "While I am asleep, you will not be able to wake me, I will not move, nor will I breathe. I will look dead, I do not want you to be alarmed. I will rise an hour or so before sunset because of my age, but I must still remain out of the sun. The entire top floor is light tight though." I paused and gave her a moment to process all of that before moving on.

"You will be able to leave the room, just not reenter until you are added to the security system. We will do this when I rise. There are a couple of outfits that Pam bought for you in New York, if you wake before me, please feel free to get dressed and explore. I am sure you will be hungry, there is plenty of food in the kitchen for the human staff. The cook will make you whatever you want. If you do leave my chamber, please call Quinn. He is to go everywhere with you, my room being the only exception. You my call him from my phone, his number is there."

"Ok, I will call him if I want to leave."

"Also, your things from your apartment will be arriving this afternoon. Please let me know if there is anything else that was missed. "

"Thank you Eric. Have a good rest."

"You too, Little one. I hope that you dream of me."

"Me too."
