Chapter Five - New Feelings:

Bella's POV

I looked into Eric's eyes and I couldn't believe what was happening. I immediately felt attracted to him. He was tall, blond, built, and gorgeous. He had the most mesmerizing blue eyes I had ever encountered. I couldn't believe how quickly this man had put me under his spell. He returned my feelings, and I couldn't believe that either. I was falling for him. I never expected anything like this to happen. Even though I was terrified of getting close to him, I was so drawn to him that I went with it, against my better judgment.

"My sweet Bella, I would love sit with you here all evening, but I have to get back to work. Let me tell you what you will need to do now that you are working for me." He smiled and guided me back to the desk. I couldn't keep my eyes off his naked chest. I want to kiss and lick and suck every inch of his cool, intoxicating body. I can only imagine what it would feel like to make love to him. I got excited when I thought of giving myself to him. To have such an experienced and handsome man take my virginity would be wonderful. God, I can't think that way. Stop it Bella. I can't believe the dirty thoughts that are going through my head. Bad Girl! What has gotten into me. I'm not easy, like a fangbanger. I can't believe how drawn I am to him. I hope I haven't made a big mistake. What does this mean?

"Bella? Are you listening?" I heard Eric say, as I blushed five shades of red. Oh my God! He was looking at me with that sexy smirk he had. I was so embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I was preoccupied." He laughed and pulled me close, placing a kiss on my forehead.

"I see that. I can also feel your lust and desire, my Bella. Now that I have had your blood, I will be able to feel your feelings and be able to track you if you are in trouble. You truly are mine now. I was trying to tell you about your benefits and that you can show up tomorrow at 7 pm and Pam will train you and get you a uniform. Remember, no other may have you. You are mine, Isabella." He looked into my eyes with serious intensity. I believed every word. "Bella, why are you feeling guilty? You have nothing to be ashamed of. What you and I just experienced was beautiful and special. Don't lessen it with feelings of guilt. Now that you are mine, you must get used to being with me. There is no shame in expressing your desire for me. I assure you that I will not hesitate to express mine for you," he stated, looking firmly into my eyes.

"I'm yours, Eric. Does that mean you are mine?" I asked, while batting my eyes at him. He picked me up and kissed me again. Yummy. I want more. He pulled away and I protested with a whimper. He smiled and smirked at me, setting me back down. "Visst är jag er, min Bella. Of course I am yours, my Bella." With that, I reluctantly pulled away from him and started to leave. He walked me to my car and kissed me goodbye. I drove home feeling full of hope and feeling loved and desired for the first time in five years. I hope I'm not fooling myself. I really think I'm falling for Eric.

Eric's POV

After Bella left, I made my way back to my office and finished the new paperwork for our three new employees. I sat at my desk, contemplating the events of the evening. Bella was at the forefront of my mind. I would always have a place in my heart for Sookie, but Bella was starting to create a space that I didn't know existed. While Sookie was a beautiful, blond spitfire with blue eyes; Bella was all mahogany tresses and deep chocolate brown eyes that you could drown in. Where Sookie had a bubbly personality, bravery, and strength of character; Bella had a strong and contemplative personality, with a sense of strength and confidence while maintaining innocence and sweetness.

No two women could be more different, yet have similar qualities as well. They were both loyal and beautiful, they had depth of spirit and their blood drew me in. The difference for me was the draw to them. With Sookie, her beauty drew me in and her uniqueness piqued my curiosity, then it grew into more from there. With Bella, her beauty was undeniable, but it was her soul and the scent of her blood that hooked me. Now I could only think of her to the point of possession. I needed to make her mine as soon as possible. I never thought I would feel this way again, but I wanted to bond her to me. I thought I may have found my soul mate. I could not think of any other explanation. I must find out all I can about her.

I called my child through our bond. Pamela, I need you to come to my office. We need to discuss Miss Swan. She was in my office within a minute.

"Yes, Master. What can I help you with?" she asked.

"Pamela, Sookie told me that you had a reaction to Miss Swan this evening. Can you tell me what happened?" Pam started to pace the floor. I didn't usually see my child get nervous, especially with me.

"Eric, I don't know what came over me. Everything was fine until we got into the conference room, and then her scent hit me. All I can say is it was like smelling the most wonderful and intoxicating fairy scent that I have ever smelled. I don't remember much after that, until Sookie was yelling my name. I had to excuse myself and leave the room. I went and fed from Alicia and I was okay after that. I re-entered the room, and her scent was still intoxicating, but not as bad. I was able to control myself then. I don't know why I reacted so strongly, but I was feeling thirsty before the interview. Maybe that's why my reaction was so strong?" I thought about what she told me. Yes, it would make sense. She has to be at least part fae. I would need to find this out. If it was true, she could be in a lot of danger, and the sooner we bond, the sooner I can protect her. I hope she doesn't fight me like Sookie did.

"Pamela, I need you to run a thorough background check on Miss Swan, and we may need to call Sookie and Bill to do some research. I will wait until you have completed the check before I decide to call Bill and Sookie." Bella was indeed special, I would have to find out her origins if I was to protect her. If she was truly fae, then she may have dormant powers that were yet to reveal themselves.

"Pamela, you are to tell no one of our conversation here. Do I make myself clear? If certain people knew that she could be fae, she would be in danger. Do you understand?" I commanded, staring into her eyes.

"Yes, Master. I will not fail you." Pam bowed to me in submission and quickly left the room.
