Chapter 3
I feel weighted down by sadness and gloom. I've tried to climb out to reach the surface and to get a breath of fresh air but I can't seem to get my arms to respond. I don't want to be here, I don't like it here it's lonely and cold. I've been here for what feels like forever and I don't think I'll ever get free.
I'm losing hope, barely hanging on when I feel a warmth start to spread through me. I can feel the foggy gloom start to break up as something takes hold of me and I'm rocked back and forth. I can hear singing and as the gloom clears the words become more clear as does the voice singing them. Eric.
And you bring me to my knees, again
All this time that I could beg you please, in vain
All the times that I felt insecure, for you
And I leave my burdens at the door
I'm on the outside, I'm looking in
I can see through you, see your true colors
'cause inside you're ugly, ugly like me
I can see through you, see to the real you
All this time that I felt like this won't end, it's for you
And I taste what I can never have
Was from you
All those times that I tried
My intentions full of pride
And I waste more time then anyone
All the times that I cried
All this wastin it's all inside
And I feel all this pain
Stuffed it down, it's back again
And I lie here in bed
All alone I can't mend
But I feel tomorrow will be okay
I pushed my way up and out of the prison I had been in. I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I notice are the bloody tear tracks on Eric's face. He was crying, for me? I brought my hand up to his cheek and catch a bloody tear. I looked at the tear and then put it in my mouth, for once I would share Eric's pain.
"Sookie you're back?" Eric asked.
"I'm here. How long was I gone?" I asked.
"Three days. Jason took care of you during the day and I stayed here during the night. I've been relearning my past while I've been here. I'll go make you some dinner" Eric said, kissed my cheek and disappeared.
While Eric got me dinner(how odd) I decided to have a shower and get cleaned up. I got up out of bed on wobbly legs but made it to the bathroom. I started the shower and adjusted the temperature once it was perfect I got in. As I lathered up my sponge I thought back to the last shower I had but I pushed it aside. Then my thoughts strayed to Eric and him singing to me. It felt wonderful and safe to be held in his arms and I realize that I want to be in his arms once again.
I felt a burst of cold air hit my ass. I turned to look and there was Eric in all his glory and boy was there a lot of glory. He took the sponge from me and soaped it up.
"Turn around Lover" he crooned and god help me I did. He washed my back and butt so good that I'd probably squeak. He asked me to turn around again and I complied. He washed my stomach and breasts paying special attention to my nipples. Once he was finished I soaped up the sponge and began to wash him. I had to step forward which made his "gracious plenty" jut up against his abs. I reached around and washed that awesome ass of his. Ok I admit it I ogled his ass before, sue me.
As I washed Eric he captured my lips with his own and slipped his tongue into my mouth. His strong tongue massaged the inside and coaxed my tongue into a duel. Eric's hands slipped down over my quivering stomach to my hot center below. His fingers circled my clit and stroked softly over my slit. When his finger breaches my opening my legs threaten to buckle. Eric must sense this cause he picks me up, shuts off the shower and takes me to the bed. He sits me down and starts to dry me off as he dries me he continues to manipulate my clit. I fall onto my back as Eric kisses his way down to my nub and licks. I moan with pleasure as he sucks my clit into his mouth and bites gently. I can feel myself coming undone under Eric's skilful tongue. When his finger pushes inside and crooks against my sweet spot I feel my muscles clamp down on his finger and I scream out my release. Eric strokes me gently through my orgasm and then pushes me up onto the pillows. I feel happy and tired but I want to reciprocate. I reach out to Eric but he takes my hand and brings it to his lips and places a sweet kiss on my palm.
"Your tired lover. You need to eat and rest" he says and grabs a towel and wraps it around his waist. He leaves and comes back a few minutes later with a pb and j sandwich and a glass of milk. I eat in silence and then go get ready for bed. As I get up from the bed and put on my robe I turn to Eric.
"Stay with me while I sleep?" without waiting for an answer I head to the bathroom.
When I step out of the bathroom I notice black heavy velvet drapes over the windows and hanging around the bed from a track in the ceiling. How long had I been in the bathroom? I must not heard anything over the hairdryer. I hear voices coming from the hall.
"This is a stupid idea Eric" came Pam's voice.
"I didn't ask for your opinion Pam. Now leave" Eric commanded steel in his voice.
"Fine but for the record you clearly lost it" came Pam's deadpan voice followed by the door closing. Eric was filling the doorway seconds later.
"What's this?" I asked.
"You asked me to stay so I 'am" he said and got on the bed. I went to my dresser and put on m nightgown and then crawled in beside Eric.
"No light will penetrate so I can stay even in my daytime slumber" he explained.
I settled back into his arms and I'm lulled to sleep by his humming and if I'm not mistaken he was humming it Kiss from a Rose by seal. Is Eric trying to tell me something?
