A/N: Taking a break from my other more serious stories for a little fluff. This is a smutfest. There is a plot in here….somewhere. Nikki pays a visit to her favorite temptation.

Chapter 4

My Number One

Nikki sat at the bar counter and gazed at her reflection in the mirror along the back wall. So far, so good, she thought. This was a rather untested power and it certainly wasn't the smartest to try it out here and against him. But, it seemed to be working. She took stock of herself. She had kept it simple. Long, straight dark brown hair cascaded down her shoulders. Bangs framed a pair of bright blue eyes. She had kept her shape the same. The less you alter, hopefully the less work it takes to maintain it, she thought. Most fairies had the power to use a type of glamour to alter their appearance. It was used to seduce humans and deceive their enemies. However, vampires were more perceptive creatures than humans. Yet, he had already shown that he saw what he wanted to see when it came to her. Why should now be any different?

Nikki took a sip of her drink. You're a total idiot, she told herself, to come here and behave like a lovesick puppy. Don't you have any pride? As her sexual frustration had risen, Nikki had found that her pride had taken a nosedive. She saw him glance her way and she tried to look like she hadn't seen it. He had scanned her three times now. The fish was nibbling at the bait, she thought.

Eric passed his eyes over the girl sitting alone at the bar. He had noticed her the moment that she had stepped inside Fangtasia. She had come alone, which was not a particularly wise thing to do. She wore a short navy blue dress that showed off a long length of shapely leg. The color set off a set of intense blue eyes and its simple style left her shoulders bare and displayed a modest amount of cleavage. He found that he approved of this dress that teased at the figure it still concealed. He was also aware that she had noticed his attention, even though she pretended that she had not. Pam leaned down and spoke into his ear.

"Pretty," she said. "Do you want a closer look?"

"I thought you'd never ask," replied Eric.

Pam winked and slinked off to the girl. He watched her reaction as Pam informed her that he wanted to see her. Her eyes were carefully guarded and it was not a typical reaction that a fangbanger would display. He was extremely curious, although he was careful to maintain his aloof and haughty exterior. When she approached with Pam, he passed his eyes more carefully over her. He noticed that up close she was more petite than she appeared.

"Sit," said Eric, pointing to the chair next to him.

Nikki took a seat and glanced at him. She calmed her nerves and twirled a strand of her hair around her finger. He lounged in his chair as if he really were sitting on a throne. He knew that he was the center of attention in this place. But, she could see why so many eyes sought him out and why she just became the envy of most of the customers in this place. His blonde hair was brushed back off his handsome face. His uniquely shaped eyes that seemed to be tipped up at the corners were cold and imperious and when he turned those eyes on her a chill passed over her. He was dressed in a velvet jacket trimmed with a leather collar. The black tee shirt underneath dipped low enough to hint at the well-shaped pectoral muscles that it concealed and displayed a necklace that looked like it was an insect's mandible. His legs sprawled in that chair and seemed to go on forever. When she lifted her eyes to his, he gave a slight smirk since he was all too aware of her inspection. Why was she so attracted to him? He probably was almost laughing at you because he knows that you're one step from drooling over him. But, a tiny smile curved her lips as she realized that her reaction to him was totally in character. Every girl that sits in this chair was supposed to drool over him and he expects that reaction.

"What's your name?" he asked.

What is my name, thought Nikki, in a panic. Oops, she had forgotten that little detail. After a pause, she said, "Josette or Jo for short."

"So, Jo for short, are you just here as a tourist or is there a purpose to your visit?" asked Eric.

"How do you know that I haven't been here before?" asked Nikki.

"I would have noticed you," he said with calm certainty.

"What sort of purpose could I have in being here?" asked Nikki.

"Getting to know me, of course," he replied with a tiny smile.

"Well, I am sitting in this chair with you," said Nikki.

"So you are," he replied. "But, coming to this place alone is not the wisest decision. You are lucky that I took an interest in you."

"How is that?" asked Nikki.

"I've singled you out," replied Eric. "No other vampire would dare approach you."

"Are you saying that I'm yours?" asked Nikki.

"Yes," replied Eric. "At least, temporarily."

Eric smirked at her and added, "I haven't decided if you are deserving of my long-term interest, yet."

"You are such a charmer," said Nikki in amusement. "Does this kind of talk melt the girls hearts in here?"

"It's not their hearts that I'm interested in," he replied with the same smirk.

"You're wicked," said Nikki.

"You wouldn't be here if you wanted a nice, polite boy," replied Eric.

He had her there, she thought. Was she a sucker for a bad boy? She admitted that she was a sucker for tall, blonde vampire bad boys. If you had any sense, you would high tail it out of here, she told herself. But, she stayed rooted in her chair.

"What if my interest in you is decidedly temporary, as in just tonight?" asked Nikki.

"Impossible," replied Eric, with conviction. "I can assure you that it won't be before the night is over."

"I happen to be a little experienced when it comes to vampires and sex," said Nikki.

He smiled and trailed his finger down her hand and said, "So, Jo for short, are you telling me that I'm not your first?"

No, that would be a lie, thought Nikki. Maybe, the fact that he was her first was why she had such a hard time letting go of him.

"Something like that," replied Nikki.

"It must have been good or you wouldn't be here, looking for seconds," said Eric.

"It was," said Nikki, honestly.

She looked away and felt a moment of sadness. How pathetic you are, she told herself. You could be back in Jackson and shagging that werewolf right now. But, no, here you are begging for scraps from a heartless vampire that doesn't even know that you really exist. She felt the vampire touch the back of her hand again and she turned back to him. He gazed intently into her eyes. He was probably trying to glamour her or something, she thought.

"I see that I have my work cut out for me, tonight," he said. "Are you ready to go, Jo for short?"

"I was ready the moment that I stepped inside this place," replied Nikki.

Eric smiled and got up. He straightened his jacket and turned back to Pam.

"I'll be entertaining a lady," he said. "Don't expect me back."

Pam nodded and then asked before he turned away, "Does this mean that I can have the new dancer, since you've moved on?"

Eric passed his eyes over Nikki and said, "She's all yours."

"I knew that there would be fringe benefits to being your progeny," she said, with a wicked smile.

Eric turned away and started walking. You're supposed to follow him like one of his usual disciples, Nikki thought. She swiftly moved and kept pace behind him. She noticed a few looks that could kill aimed at her as she made her way behind him. Jealous hussies, she thought. When he didn't move to the office, Nikki began to wonder where they were going. He headed straight for the exit and Nikki started to slow down. This was not what she was expecting. They went through the front door and Eric made his way to a large black BMW. Nikki had stopped by this time and his keen vampire sense knew that. He turned and looked back at her.

"I, ah, assumed that we would be staying here," said Nikki.

"I take the special ones home," replied Eric.

He turned away and walked the remaining distance to his car. He opened the passenger door and waited patiently for her. Nikki walked slowly forward and took a seat. Eric slammed the door closed and caused Nikki to involuntarily jump. He got in and drove them away. He kept his eyes on the road and didn't make any small talk. But, what kind of small talk would you make with a vampire, anyway, thought Nikki. The farther that they drove away from her own car, the more misgivings Nikki began to feel. She hadn't signed on for this turn of events. Finally, they arrived at a gated community and were passed through the guard on duty. Neat well-groomed yards decorated very nice houses. This was an established community and Nikki saw that the houses were not all the same like most new developments were. She wondered if his neighbors knew that a vampire was in their midst. They had to, didn't they? Eric pulled into the driveway of a nice two-story brick colonial that was somehow austere and welcoming at the same time. As he drove inside and the garage door closed, Nikki felt a moment of fear at being trapped inside. He opened her door and led the way inside. They walked into a modern kitchen with black countertops and stainless steel appliances. Before Nikki could take it totally in, Eric grasped her hand and pulled her down a flight of stairs. She saw that the lower level was completely finished and at the moment steel shutters covered the windows. He pulled her into a room and she saw a large bedroom that was dominated with an oversized four-poster bed. A crimson red silk duvet covered the bed and a large dark gray sheepskin adorned the foot of the bed. There weren't any windows in this room and she felt a moment of claustrophobia, but Eric took her into his arms and that feeling was forgotten. He kicked the door closed and as he kissed her, he leaned an arm back and locked the door. He turned a key and Nikki noticed that the key disappeared into a pocket of his jeans. Okay, she was beginning to get a little creeped out.

But, the next thing she knew, he pulled her into a close embrace and kissed her with the skill that only a vampire with a thousand years of experience could do. His hands seemed to be everywhere and she wondered if he had grown a new set when she wasn't looking. His fingers gripped her possessively and his mouth covered hers. His body felt so good next to hers. He was hard and soft and Nikki wrapped her arms around him. She could smell his vampire scent and it caused her fairy side to tremble in fear. But, it caused her human side to melt with sexual yearning. This combination of fear and arousal was a powerful aphrodisiac and she felt herself literally swoon over him. She snaked a hand between them and touched one of his other assets. You couldn't separate the vampire from his cock. She worshipped both of them, although she wasn't going to tell him that. He was vain enough. Her being here with him was enough of a testament to that. As she caressed him, he uttered a growl deep in his throat as his fangs dropped with a snick. He moved his lips back to her and devoured them. His tongue saucily invaded her mouth and demanded that she give it her attention. She hungrily sucked at it and noticed how sweet he tasted. She couldn't get enough of the sweet taste of his lips and tongue. He moaned and crushed her to himself as she partook of the delights that he offered her.

In a flash, he moved them both onto the bed with vampire speed. It was a little disorientating, but Nikki quickly adjusted. In a flurry of quick hands, he began to remove her clothes and a few rips were heard as he pulled aside her clothes in haste.

"Hey, I can't leave here naked," Nikki complained.

"I have decreed it that you shall always be naked in my presence," he said into her ear.

He moved with a purpose and quickly removed their clothes. Nikki stopped caring if her clothes were torn to shreds or not. She only wanted to feel his naked body next to hers. Foreplay had been long enough, she thought. She pulled him in close and wrapped her legs over his as she moved against him. She arched her hips and he pushed himself inside. Nikki clutched him and moaned. When he began to move, her eyes closed in delight and she knew that nothing had ever felt as good as this. His hands lifted her hips and he plunged so deep that she cried out. He then set a punishing pace and Nikki had trouble breathing let alone keeping up. Yet, amidst the onslaught, he tenderly lavished kisses on her face and neck. She was panting too hard for him to kiss her lips more than briefly. His growls and noises of exertion seemed loud in her ears and these sounds of his own pleasure sent Nikki even higher. As she tipped over the edge and shuddered underneath him, he breathed one word in her ear.

"Mine."

After that, he had rolled her on top and they had slowly and languidly engaged in sex. This was all eye contact and soft caresses. As she gazed down at him through slitted eyes, she watched his chiseled abdominal muscles ripple as he moved within her. His eyes were closed and she stared at his white fangs that peeked out from his lips. He must have sensed her attention and his eyes fluttered open. He instinctively bared them and pulled her down to kiss him. Nikki tentatively ran an exploratory tongue over them and their sharpness surprised her. She wondered how he had kissed her earlier without cutting himself or her. But, he must have had lots of practice. Sometimes, she wished that he was a human or a fairy. Things would be so much easier. His insistent lips and the way he moved caused her to forget foolish wishes. Just admit to yourself that you're attracted to the entire package, the good and the bad. You aren't exactly all sweetness and light either, she told herself. Fairies had a darkness within them that most people weren't aware of until it was too late. She interlaced her fingers with his and focused only on the two of them and this moment.

Afterwards, he had spooned with her. His fingers brushed down her arm and he kissed her shoulder as he nuzzled against her. She wondered if he was going to try to bite her. That was the one flaw in her plan. She couldn't cover up her taste. But, she only felt the softness of his lips against her skin. His fangs stayed safely retracted again. Although, they did tend to pop out when he was aroused, he seemed to have a level of self-control that surprised her. She had heard and been warned that sex and blood were bound together in vampire's minds. His hand moved around her and softly caressed one of her breasts. Nikki closed her eyes and let out a contented sigh.

"Does this mean that I measured up to your past lover?" asked Eric.

"It was perfect," replied Nikki.

"Was is the wrong tense," said Eric.

He hand began a more focused movement and Nikki gasped as he teased her nipple erect. His hips pressed against hers and something very hard pressed into her cheeks.

"How am I supposed to go back to my mundane life, if you keep this up?" she said.

"I doubt your life is so mundane, Jo for short," Eric whispered in her ear. "You can always stay here and be my wanton sex slave."

He shifted their position and parted her thighs. Nikki did feel like one of his wanton fangbangers. But as he slid into her from behind with a vampire hiss, she realized that she didn't care. All she cared about was the way that he felt between her legs. She stopped thinking about anything else and focused on just the pleasure that they were giving to each other. A complicated dance of give and take ensued, until Nikki came with his name on her lips. At every one of her spasms, he thrust deeply and groaned as he felt her contractions ripple over him, until he fell against her and plunged his fangs into her throat. Nikki moved in surprise, but he held her under him and fed. With his fangs in her throat and his cock still delightfully encased within her, Nikki felt a second orgasm grip her. He held onto her as she shouted his name and then he too shuddered his release into her. Wrapped in his arms, Nikki fell drowsily asleep. The last thing she heard was his soft voice in her ear.

"Mine."

She woke up later and found herself alone. She panicked and felt to see if her glamour had remained. Touching a lock of her hair, she saw it was still dark brown. She sighed in relief and looked around the room. She saw a dress and a note draped over the foot of the bed. She reached curiously for the note. It read:

Jo for short,

This dress should make up for the one I destroyed,

Eric

P.S. Don't go too far away, since you have risen in the ranks to my number one.

The dress was a beautiful purple color and the fabric seemed to effortless glide over her fingers. It was also very expensive and tasteful. As she lifted it, she saw the flash of something hidden in the folds. She pulled out a necklace. It appeared to be a diamond in a white gold setting. She examined the stone that was set into a setting that had strange symbols or lettering around the margin. She had never seen these types of markings before. Holding the necklace, her fingers crept to his bite marks. But, she found that her skin was smooth and unbroken. He must have healed the bites as she slept, she thought. Nikki wasn't sure what to make of this new development. It was tangible proof that their coupling had meant more to him than just sex. But, it still wasn't her. First, he had thought that he was fucking Sookie and now it was some fangbanger named Josette. She stared at the necklace. It was beautiful and she slipped it around her neck. Maybe, Josette will stick around a while, she thought with a smile. Good sex and diamonds were hard to pass up.

A/N: Fairies have the ability to alter the way they appear. I don't think this is like what shapeshifting Tommy was doing, since I think it is just an illusion. Now, I would think that fairies mature later since they have a longer lifespan. So, Nikki is probably just becoming sexually mature. And if you couldn't tell from her thoughts, Eric is her first and only. It's probably why she can't stay away from him.

Now, we know that Eric isn't as gullible as Nikki thinks he is. So, is he or is he not aware of who Jo is? I would think that his kisses are sweet, but are they sweeter than normal in this chapter?
