Chapter 5

The plane ride to Las Vegas was similar to the one she had taken to Dallas and Rhodes. She and Eric had been booked on Anubis Air. Eric's coffin had been loaded and stored in baggage but because the plane took off shortly before 8 pm. she and Eric had actually flown together. They made it in to Las Vegas by 1 AM. Eric had told her to sleep the previous day so she would have the energy for the trip.

"Wow." She whispered as she looked out the window and saw all the lights.

"Beware, Dear one, the town is seductive." He whispered in her ear.

"Oh but so are you." She purred.

"I can't wait to get you alone." He growled.

The plane lurched to a stop and Eric helped retrieve her carry-on bag. Even though flying wasn't her favorite thing, she did love the airports. All the shops and people moving quickly from one place to the other. Eric held her hand tightly while they claimed their baggage. He had insisted on buying her a few new outfits. Some pieces of her wardrobe he had picked out with the stipulation they were for his eyes only. They were met at baggage claim by a neatly dressed driver holding a small white sign printed with the name 'Northman'. The driver stowed their bags and they were soon side by side in the back of an obscenely long limousine. Being the guest of the King of Nevada did have its perks. Eric couldn't hide his amusement as Sookie pointed and commented on all the hotels and sites along the strip. Finally they pulled up to the MGM Grand.

"You can stay here?" She questioned Eric.

"Most of the more popular hotels have converted several suites to vampire friendly."

"A suite?!" She smiled.

"Yes, lover. You are the guest of the King of Nevada. Only the best for you. Thankfully, I get to tag along."

"Oh, you're staying with me?" She tried for innocent but the giggle that escaped her throat when he pinched her thigh gave her away.

"Take your vitamins, my lover. You will need them."

"Oh, I better." His eyes widened and he laughed. She loved the sound of his laughter. This was going to be a fun trip. She prayed it would be anyway.

"Hey! Come look at the size of this tub! It's bigger than my car!" She called from the large bathroom. Eric was quickly by her side and she could feel the arousal swelling through the bond. Mirrors were on three of the four walls of the bathroom and she could see the smoldering look being cast her way. The tub filled the corner of the room and could easily fit six people.
"Do you have a meeting tonight?" She asked as she advanced toward him.

"Not until 3." She quickly glanced at her watch and grinned. Locking her eyes with his, she reached down and turned on the water.

"You'll be very clean for your meeting." She leered. He was on her faster than she could track his movements. Love, lust, happiness, and amusement swirled through their bond. She sighed as his fangs grazed her throat while he traveled his hands up her sides and to her breasts. She tugged at his t-shirt and yanked it over his head. He laughed as she tossed it over her shoulder. He quickly divested her of her jeans and shirt. Once both were completely unclothed, Sookie caught their reflection in the mirrors.

"This is…new." She grinned at him and watched his hands slide to her behind and squeeze.

"I like it." He lifted her and carried her to the tub. She sighed as they sank into the warm water. She sloshed away from him and poured some bubble bath from the hotel into the water and giggled as she pushed the button to engage the jets.

"Wow. I could really get used to this."

"Pick a house, we'll have one installed as soon as we return home."

"Mirrors too?" He dipped his head and sucked the water from her breast. He caught her staring at his reflection in the mirrors and felt her lust through the bond.
"Most definitely."

"That's a little too 'Vegas' I think." She giggled as he slid his hands to her hips.
"Mmmm, there's a reason it's called Sin City, Lover."

He dipped her lower in the water and positioned her near one of the jets. His long, thick fingers slid across her skin and found their way to her folds. Moving in concentric circles, he smiled at the gentle mewing escaping her lips. She spread her legs wider to allow him to slide his finger in while he scraped her neck with his fangs. The water swirled around them as Eric moved his hand in rhythm with his tongue that has currently latched onto Sookie's left breast. Her back arched in pleasure and she reached out to the side of the tub to anchor herself to the Earth.

"Eric, please." She whispered.

"Please what? What do you want, my lover?" Eric never stopped his fingering as he whispered into her ear. "Tell me."

"I…want…you…to…" Her eyes slammed shut and she bucked involuntarily against his hand. He quickened his pace slightly and added a little more force to his movements.

"Is this what you want? Do you want me to continue stroking you this way or would you like to feel…"

"You…I want you…please Eric, baby, please." She whimpered as he chuckled into the crook of her neck.

"Mmm, baby? You haven't called me that since I stayed at your house."

"Eric." She ground out while digging her nails into his shoulder.

"As you wish." He removed his fingers and before she could protest he pushed into her now slick opening. Sookie never considered herself a screamer, but the heat, the water, the passion was too much. Eric seemed to enjoy her loud appreciation of what he was doing. He hitched her hips higher and shifted their position. She clutched at his wet arms and rode him. Eric dipped his head and captured her nipple. Her head dropped back and her eyes slammed shut as the loud scream escaped her throat. Eric suckled and moaned at the taste of her blood. He sucked a little harder than normal and thrust deep inside her. She felt him spasm inside her and she lost all control. He released a strangled sigh and convulsed as her muscles tightened around him. Soon all that could be heard were the swirling water and the sound of her panting. He slowly licked the puncture marks on her breast and she couldn't help but shiver at the sensation.
"That was…wow…that was…."

"A great start to our trip." Eric mumbled around a mouthful of her breast. She laughed and hugged him tighter.
