A/N: I am so blown away by all the wonderful reviews I got for chapter 5, you are the best my lovelies! I have a few developing stories I am working on and I will let you all be the judge about whether to develop them further; I aim to please ;-) I let Google translate so if it's not right I apologize.

I own nothing; just love playing with others toys.

I felt like such an idiot after I escaped Eric's apartment, I hadn't said goodbye or anything. I was an adult for Pete's sake and I acted like some silly girl who got caught by her parents making out with a boy. It was awkward being walked in on by Pam since she was my boss but then I wondered exactly who she was to Eric.

She clearly has a key to his home and very obviously has no issues letting herself in. Oh shit, am I the other woman? I could just die. I really liked Eric, I liked him a whole damn lot but I was no home wrecker. After taking a few cleansing breaths I stopped panicking, Eric didn't seem the type to hide things, at least from me. Hello, he told me he was a vampire.

Perhaps she's his sister or cousin or even just a friend, yes that was it, they were something other than a couple. I hopped into the elevator and concentrated on finding Amelia's brain, she was on her floor waiting for me albeit impatiently. As soon as the doors opened she was on me like white on rice, firing of questions so fast I couldn't get a word in edge wise.

"Whoa Amelia! Slow down." I hollered since anything else wouldn't have registered. She grinned at me and apologized before she told me to start talking. I explained to her what I could instead of Eric catching me from falling I told her he found me on the roof and that we mostly talked after returning to his suite.

She looked disappointed "You were with that delicious man all night and you expect me to believe nothing happened?" I thought of the things Eric and I had done and gave myself away by the blush that rose on my cheeks. "HA! I knew it, something did happen. Details Stackhouse, I need details." She drawled dramatically.

"Oh my gods Amelia I am not talking about my private encounters." That earned me a scowl and a hairy eyeball. "I'll tell you about my night with Pam in return." She promised while smiling like a Cheshire cat. I sooo didn't want to know about the things they had done but thanks to my quirk I got a mental eyeful. 'No thank you." I said seriously.

She pouted and I laughed at her antics before she launched into a new Eric and Sookie related topic. "So are you going to see him again?" I wanted to see him again but I didn't think it was a good idea. "No I don't think so. What would be the point I am leaving in two days and I 'm not sure he wants to see me anyways." I said with a little sadness in my voice.

"You like him though right? I can tell he is into you too just from the time I saw you two together on the roof. Men who aren't interested in a woman do not look at them like Eric was looking at you nor do they invite them home just to talk." She said. God I wanted so much to believe that.

"Shit Amelia, why did I have to meet someone who is so amazing, so easy to be around who I want to keep in my life while I was across the ocean?" I lamented. Maybe I could find a hot and wonderful vamp in Sweden when I got home. Yea right, Even if I did no one will ever be Eric. It was so unfair to find someone I could see myself with only to have to say goodbye.

"You know what I think I am just going to go home." I said. The wonderful mood I woke up in earlier was long gone; fate could be a cruel bitch sometimes. Amelia was just about to speak when my phone buzzed. I pulled it out and there was a text from a number that I didn't recognize, I opened the message sure someone had a wrong number.

It was a text from Eric! How he even got my number I will never know but when I read what he wrote my mood went from sullen to sublime. I wasn't finished with you lover. Come for me after your shift. I'll be waiting –E. I didn't miss the innuendo in his message I was equal parts turned on and amused. "What kind of message did you get to put that look on your face?" Amelia asked breaking me out of my little Eric induced trance.

I giggled and told her it was from Eric and showed her the text. She grinned at me and said "Uh huh he sends you a message like that and you expect me to believe nothing happened last night." I huffed and leveled her with a warning glare "Fine a few things happened but we didn't have sex. It was amazing and beyond anything I have ever even imagined." I said wistfully.

I typed out a response to his suggestive text with a short suggestive message of my own OMG Eric! You are so bad…coming at 4 –S I spent the rest of my shift listen to Amelia's sermon on how I should give Eric an chance, she was convinced that destiny and fate were involved in bring us together. She said I could risk missing my soul mate if I didn't follow what my instincts where telling me. She was very into the metaphysical.

I tried to pay attention but I could not stop think about Eric and what would happen when I saw him later. "You gonna answer that Sookie" Amelia said while snapping her fingers in front of my face. "Huh?" was my answer, eloquent I know but I hadn't heard anything she said nor did I notice my phone buzzing.

I answered the call and it was Jason asking me if I had all my things packed to move out tomorrow. I told him that everything was ready except for a few small things I plan to carry with me one being my most beloved possession. We made plans for him to pick me up around six so I could sleep and then I would stay at his place til I had to head home.

Once again the reality of my situation slapped me in the face but I pushed it away in favor of savoring the time I would have with Eric until then.

I waited impatiently for her reply; if she denied me I would probably destroy my suite. I was hopeful that she would agree to come back; I had so little time left with her. I needed to convince her to stay at least a while longer, I was certain I could make her mine if I played this right.

I was staring at my phone willing it to provide me with an answer. What is it about her that has me so desperate? I never needed anyone. I knew the answer to that question; it was because I had never met anyone like her. She was everything I never knew I was missing and for the first time in a very long time I felt something.

The apathy, boredom and most surprisingly loneliness that had filled my existence vanished the moment I laid eyes on her. I could tell after we exchanged blood that she felt something for me but that she was also holding herself back. I assume that it is because she is leaving Sunday and feels making an attachment so far from where her life is makes no sense.

If I am honest with myself it doesn't make sense to me either but this pull I have towards her I cannot ignore. I have my doubts about whether or not I will truly be able to convince her to stay with me. No, that is not an option! I shove that thought from my mind annoyed that I doubt myself. My phone chimed alerting me to her response and when I read her message I feel a stupid grin plaster itself on my face but I don't care. She is coming after her shift!

I shoot Pam a text telling her to alert them that they only need tend to the floor they are currently on and tell her to give any excuse she wants. The sooner she finishes her work the more time I will have with her. Using vampire speed I clean up my own suite, something I haven't done in centuries. Once everything is perfect I order her a meal since I feel her hunger and have it set to be delivered by midnight.

Even though she fed me last night the rush from knowing she is returning and the fact that my lust for her is clawing at me I decide to heat myself some donor blood so that my vampire instincts will calm some. Normally I have no issues with control but Sookie pushes me to the brink of my sanity and unknowingly breaks my control with ease.

Since there is still about an hour before she will be finished I decide to read thru the new information Pam provided with me tonight. She glamoured Sookie's friend Amelia and she knows quite a bit apparently since they spend almost every afternoon and evening together. I have a full list of likes and dislikes, a host of information about her adopted family, hopes, dreams, annoyances and hobbies.

Most things I skim but a few items catch my attention she is a business major with only a semester left until she graduates. Her best friend in Sweden is a guy named Niklas who is an archeology major and she goes with him often to dig for artifacts for fun. Another commonality we share, an appreciation of antiquities. Apparently Sookie found a necklace and it is her most treasured possession. It's pathetic how much it pleases me that we both share so many of the same interests.

I know quite a bit about Sookie now and am no closer to figuring her out. I have the feeling that I never will and that is just another thing to add to the list of reason why I want her. My phone chiming brings me out of my thoughts, its Pam informing me that Sookie just finished the last suite. Again that stupid grin makes it way to my face, she will be here soon.

I have spent the last few hours listening to Amelia sing Eric's praises even though she knows nothing about him other then what I told her. She insists fate is involved and informed me that she has a sixth sense about these things. I don't think I have ever rolled my eyes this much in all my life!

Pam showed up and told us that we would only be cleaning this floor tonight since the other residents are out of town on business and haven't touched their suites. When I asked about Eric's floor she said her and Eric wouldn't need cleaning service either. Well now I know where Pam lives. I might have guessed, thinking about it now, that other suite just screamed Pam.

Pam had been eyeballing us all night and she had never done that before. So she was either watching Amelia or me for reasons yet unknown. Maybe she thought I was going to boost something since I was about to be leaving my employment or perhaps she was curious about me since she found me in Eric's bed earlier or she was crushing on Amelia after their night together.

Whatever the reason I was ready to just finish up, I was hungry I hadn't eaten since yesterday before coming to work. We made quick work of the last suite on Amelia's floor the two of us working together had the place spotless in no time and were finished by 11:30. I told Eric I would be by after my shift but that was usually at four. I considered just going up to his place now but then I figured that he would probably be at work.

After I helped Amelia gather all of our supplies and load them back onto the cart we made our way back to the employees lounge. I still had many hours until I was to meet Eric and I decided I'd go back to my place for dinner and a shower. I texted him thinking he might think I changed my mind if I just left, I was sure Pam would inform him since she's been keeping tabs on us all night. Finished work early, going to my place for dinner. See you at 4 –S.

I grabbed my purse and keys from my locker and started walking towards the elevator. While I waited for the lift to arrive my phone buzzed alerting me to a new message. Have dinner with me -E. Well I didn't expect that considering he doesn't eat food. I needed to go to my place to pack up the last of my things and put on my own clothes but I also really wanted to spend more time with Eric.

Ok. Where and what time? –S. I was already getting butterflies in my stomach. My reasons to hold myself back from him where crumbling like a sand castle at high tide. Not long ago I couldn't wait to go back home but now I was coming to dread that day, I would miss Jason and Amelia for certain but it was Eric that was going to be the hardest to say good bye to.

I couldn't say for sure when it happened but in the span of 48 hours he had become important to me. He was everything I thought I would never be able to find with a man and leaving him, letting go of something that had the potential to be spectacular was killing me. Thank the gods for my phone going off; I was a thought away from spilling the tears that were building behind my eyes. My place, right now.-E

I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face, he wanted to see me now. I pressed the up button and waited for the lift to come and take me up to Eric. While I waited I thought over everything that had happened between us since we met maybe Amelia was right maybe it was fate that had pushed us together.

How else could you explain the maddening attraction we had to each other, the way that both of us were perfectly suited to be with each other. I was seriously considering postponing my departure a few more weeks; I didn't have to be back until mid September when school resumed. Ok maybe that's a little extreme. Who knows if he wants to keep seeing me, this could just be a fling for him.

I hoped that wasn't the case but would I really be willing to put my life on hold for him? My family, friends and my whole life were waiting for me back in Sweden. Lord we're just having dinner. Stop over thinking it. The bell sounded alerting me that the lift had arrived and again the butterflies took over my stomach and I felt giddy.

That happy feeling disappeared like a cockroach when the lights come on when the doors opened to reveal I would be sharing the lift with the creeper Quinn. He leered at me looking me over from head to toe "Well hey there babe. I missed you leaving this morning and coming in tonight." He said. I rolled my eyes and tamped down my desire to smack him, I was so sick of dealing with his advances.

I pushed the button for Eric's floor ignoring him completely but he wasn't giving up. He moved over to my side of the lift and grabbed my hand "Come on Sookie why don't you give me a chance?" he said and started leaning towards me like he was going to kiss me.

"Stop, you stop right there buddy. I am not interested in anything with you. I want you to leave me alone." I replied firmly and tried to take my hand back. He squeezed it tighter and pulled me towards him, I started to get a bit panicky, afraid he was going to force his attentions on me.

"Let go of me Quinn!" I shouted at him pushing against his chest with my hands as hard as I could but he didn't budge. I heard the bell sound, the doors to the elevator sliding open and a vicious snarl then Quinn was gone. I looked out into the hall and saw Quinn dangling by his neck in Eric's hand, he had his fangs down and his eyes were cold as ice, He looked every bit the predator he is.

EPOV

Now that Sookie agreed to return, I had dinner ordered, and all my area business was taken care of all that was left was for me to shower and dress. I made quick work of the shower and was standing in my closet trying to decide what to wear. I never put much thought into my outfits, I always opted for jeans, a tank and boots and I was ready. Tonight I was having trouble deciding what to wear, yet another thing to add to the growing list of firsts I have had since meeting Sookie.

I finally settled on a pair of dark wash jeans, a blue button down and my favorite black boots. I left my hair to air dry opting out of any styling products, Sookie seemed to enjoy playing with my hair and I was hoping to encourage it. I loved the way she ran her fingers thru my hair gently scraping her nails over my scalp and tugging slightly on the ends before repeating the process.

I walked out to the living room to retrieve my phone that was chiming rapidly; I looked at the screen to see I had 17 messages. All of them were from Pam and I could help the twinge of disappointment I felt. I opened and read them all, each contained excerpts from a conversation Sookie was having with her friend Amelia.

Amelia was like my personal cheerleader even though she knew nothing about me; she insisted that Sookie should give me a shot. The more I read the more I liked the girl; I would have to add a bonus on her next check. I also now knew that Sookie wanted me in her life but was holding back because she was leaving Sunday night.

Pam texted me again saying that they were finished and headed up to the employee lounge. Excellent now my Sookie will come to me and I will spend the rest of the night convincing her to be mine. A knock at my door signaled the arrival of her meal, I opened the door and the delivery man wheeled in a cart full of food. I hoped Sookie would be pleased with my selections, I was sure she would be since I ordered everything from her list of favorites I had gotten from Pam earlier.

I could feel her getting closer, the anticipation and excitement I felt had me pacing like a caged animal. My phone chimed for the hundredth time tonight and I cursed Pam and her endless texting. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw it was from Sookie. I smiled as I opened the message but all I found inside was disappointment. She had texted me to let me know she was going home for dinner and that she'd see me at 4.

Fuck, all my planning had blown up in my face, instead of getting more time with her she was going home. No this was not acceptable, I quickly texted her back inviting her to have dinner with me. Within seconds she responded asking where and when, clearly she assumed that I wasn't home, perhaps that's the reason she had planned to return to her place to eat. My place, right now.-E, I sent back to her immediately.

Satisfied once again that my plans were back on track I tapped into our little bond to get an idea of her state of mind. As was the usual for her there were a multitude of emotions swirling around but two were more prominent them the rest and that was excitement and happiness. I let her feelings wash over me, it left me feeling relaxed and content.

Suddenly her mood shifted from happy and excited to irritated, followed quickly by disgusted and then fear. I could hear her talking to someone in the elevator, it was Quinn. That mother fucker! If he laid one hand on her I would relieve him of it. When I heard her scream at him to let go of her I saw red, my rage was boiling my blood.

I was out of my suite and waiting by the elevator doors in the blink of an eye. As soon as they slid open and I saw the way he had her pinned and the fear in her eyes. I snarled at him and had him by his neck before he could utter anything that would insure his death.

"Sookie are you all right?" I asked. If he had harmed her in any way this night would be his last. She looked up at me with wide eyes as she took in the scene before her, instantly I was worried that seeing me like this may change her mind entirely about getting involved with me. "I'm fine. A little shaken but fine" she replied her voice barely a whisper.

I pulled Quinn's face to within an inch of mine "You will leave Sookie alone. You will not look at or speak to her. Do you understand?" I hissed. Since I was still crushing his throat he couldn't answer but he nodded fractionally, I dropped him into a heap on the floor. He wasted no time removing himself from my presence.

I turned to Sookie afraid of the reaction she was going to have after seeing the darker side of me but knowing that if she was to be mine she would have to accept that part of me. Once again she surprised me, she closed the distance between us and wrapped her arms around me hugging me tightly and whispered thank you.

I hugged her back enjoying the warmth and closeness of her body "Shall we eat?" I asked hoping we could put all this behind us. She smiled and nodded "Yes let's I am starving!" I led her back to my suite and her jaw dropped open when she seen the meal I had delivered for her. "Oh Eric! This looks amazing." She gushed.

Watching her eat was an experience I was wholly unprepared for, every bite she took caused tiny little moans of pleasure to escape her. I tried to distract myself by asking her questions about herself to confirm the things I read about earlier but the longer her meal went on the more uncomfortable my pants became.

After she had eaten a bit of everything I ordered she declared herself stuffed. Thank the gods! We moved into the living room and got comfortable on the couch. We spent the next hour just talking about ourselves, our lives and any number of random things that flitted thru her mind. Again another first for my list.

I felt such closeness with her, trusted her; I opened up parts of me that hadn't been seen by another soul since before I was turned. I thought about how nice it would be to have this forever, to have someone with which I could share everything with. I wanted, no needed her in my life. I looked down at her and saw her eyes filled with the same emotions I was experiencing.

I reached out and took her hand pulling her closer to me; her eyes searched mine briefly before she leaned in and pressed her lips to mine. Bliss. I wrapped my arms around her and lifted her into my lap before deepening our kiss; it started out gentle but quickly turned fiery. More. When she tangled her hands into my hair scraping her nails lightly over my scalp my vampiric purr erupted in my chest. Mmmmm.

I broke from her lips and riled kisses along her jaw and down her neck causing her to shiver. Delicious. She squeezed my hips with her legs and ground herself against me as I kissed my way down to her breasts. Not enough.

She worked the buttons open on my shirt and ran her hands over my chest and stomach pressing herself as close to me as possible. Need. I tore the shirt from her body revealing her beautiful breasts to me, I dipped my head taking one dusky nipple into my mouth and stroked the other with me hand. She moaned deeply and her fingernails dug into my neck. Yes.

She arched backward pushing herself further into my mouth as she reached between us to stroke me thru my jeans. I growled low in my throat, needing more I scooped her up and using my vampire speed I took us to my bed. I laid her down never breaking our contact and settled myself between her thighs; her hot little hands were all over me mapping the contours of my body.

She nipped the flesh of my neck and was placing hot kisses along my collar bone. I rocked my hips against her sex; each thrust brought divine sounds of pleasure from her lips. I was at the edge of my control; I needed to hear her say she wanted this. "Jag vill ha dig. Avkastning på mig älskare."(I want you. Yield to me lover) I rasped out.

She looked deeply into my eyes and it felt like she was looking at my soul. She brought her hand up to cup my cheek and pulled my face gently to hers. She placed little feathery kisses from my mouth to my ear and whispered "Alltid Eric."(Always Eric.) The effect those words had on me was profound. She could have just said yes but instead she chose to say always.

She was giving herself to me, offering me the gift that could only be given once her virginity. She said always like we would never part and I prayed to the gods she wouldn't go back on that. I prayed that it wasn't just something said in a moment of passion. There will be time to think of this later.

I crushed my mouth to hers sucking and nipping at her lips before grazing my tongue across them seeking entrance. Her tongue greeted mine eagerly and I kissed her with everything I had. I moved quickly to remove the rest of our clothes; once all the barriers between us were gone I stared in awe of the beauty that lay before me.

My fangs snapped down as lust coursed thru me with an intensity I have never felt before. I crawled back onto the bed and into her waiting arms as I settled myself into the cradle of her thighs. Her hand tangled into my hair pulling my mouth to hers, she nipped playfully at my bottom lip before pushing her tongue into my mouth. Fearlessly she stroked each of my fangs with her tongue sending shivers all over my body and I nearly came when she began to suck on them.

A growl rumbled in my chest from the pleasure she was giving me, a vampires fangs are extremely sensitive. I pulled away from her sensuous treatment of my fangs to kiss my way down her body; I stopped to lath her breasts with my tongue until her nipples were pebbled and rosy from y attentions. I continued my journey down her body until I came to the apex of her thighs; the scent of her arousal was making me drunk.

"Titta på mig älskare."(Watch me lover.) I purred. Her eyes locked onto mine as I ran my tongue over her glistening folds. A feral moan escaped her lips as I sucked her clit into my mouth, she tasted like honey. I pushed two fingers into her hot tight channel moving them in rhythm with my tongue. She was writhing, calling out my name as she fisted the bed clothes in her hands.

I could feel how close she was to coming; I curled my fingers in a come hither motion stroking her G-spot. Her body went ridged and she screamed my name as her orgasm ripped thru her body. My need for her now was over powering. I pushed myself up onto my knees and pulled he down to me, I kissed her deeply as she wrapped her legs around my waist.

"Älska med mig Eric."(Make love to me Eric.)She whispered against my lips. I felt tightness in my chest when those words crossed her lips; her eyes were full of desire and affection. I checked the bond needing to know if what I saw in her eyes was real or only what I wanted to see, what I felt from her was desire, trust and a deep affection.

I lined myself up with her center and slowly pushed into her, she drew in a sharp breath as I pushed thru her maidenhead and a lone tear slid down her cheek. I stilled giving her a moment to adjust and kissing the tear from her skin. After a moment she used her heels to push me further into her heat letting me know she was alright. I thrust into her gently both of us moaning as the exquisite sensation of our joining over took us.

I pushed into her over and over; she rocked her hips up to meet my every thrust, her nails raking down my back, our mouths locked in a passion filled kiss. This was better than anything I had imagined; this was perfect, this was right. "Mer Eric, jag behöver mer." ( More Eric, I need more.)She pleaded. I thrust into her harder deeper lifting her hips to allow me to hit both her G-spot and clit with every stroke.

She was biting my neck as she slammed her hips into mine driving me to the edge of my sanity. I felt her walls begin to flutter around me signaling her coming climax. I pumped into her at near vampire speed her moans and the lust I felt flowing thru the bond spurred me on, I knew she loved being with me this way. She tipped her head to the side offering me her throat, my fangs throbbed with need "Säg att du är min Sookie. Säg att du vill att jag ska bli din."(Say you are mine Sookie. Tell me you want me to be yours.)I said pleadingly.

"Jag är din… och jag… vill att du ska bli min." (I am yours… and I …want you to be mine.)She panted out. That was all I needed to hear I let go of anything holding me back from her. She was chanting my name over and over again as her body began to tremble, I licked her neck and as the first waves of her orgasm hit I drove my fangs into her. Her body pulled me over the edge with her as I drew deeply from her neck her blood making me feel as though I was alive again.

I withdrew my fangs and collapsed beside her panting like I needed the air. Never…not ever in my long life had I ever come like that. Nor had I ever felt the way I do for Sookie. She reached out and laced her fingers with mine as she snuggled into my side. There would be no going back from this, she owned me, no one would ever compare to her.
