I'M BACK!!! Sorry it has been so long I have been working super hard to get my promotion at work. I finally got it yesterday, so to celebrate I am writing this chapter. Thank all of you who have left me comments and added me to alerts and favorites. This story is as much my baby. Without all of you I wouldn't have made it to chapter 2 let alone 5. So I thank you all. Okay enough of boring writer jibber jabber on with the story.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Kellan Isis Freya and Alan.

The next three weeks seemed to fly by. I had set up a total of ten open houses for Eric. The news of him opening a new club seemed to have the whole state buzzing. I barely had time to think let alone worry about what had happened. Since that night in my living room he had kept his distance. I had kept my word and made sure we were never alone. I had become very comfortable with Pam as a result. Tante was very pleased to know I was no longer "seeking out the Vikings attention". Tonight we were doing a final walk through of the building Eric had chosen on Bourbon street. I waited right outside the door for Pam, Chow, and Eric to arrive. The real estate agent had given me the keys for the night. She was deathly afraid of vampires and though it better for me to do the tour than herself. I saw the limo pull up and Eric step out. I waited for the others to emerge. They never did.

" Where are Pam and Chow this evening?" I asked suddenly very nervous.

" Pam stayed behind to do inventory and Chow was summoned before the queen." he said slowly walking towards me.

"Maybe we should wait for-" I began

"Freya, we are both professionals. I'm sure you can do a simple tour of a small building. I promise to behave. Now can we continue?" he spoke gesturing to the door.

"Okay, lets get the show on the road." I said unlocking the door and taking deep breaths.

As we walked through, Eric made comments of what would need to be changed, fixed, or added to make this place successful. He showed were he wanted the bar and the stage to be.

" Okay so I will have the real estate agent fax me over the contract and then I will call the contractors so they can get started on the renovations." I listed back to him for confirmation.

" I'm sorry Fey." he almost whispered.

" For?" I didn't understand.

" I'm sorry for the way I acted at your home. I just couldn't control myself. I was put off by you refusing me and then Kellan told me of the power and-" he explained

" I know Eric. You saw me as your ticket to everything you have ever wanted. It's nothing new to me. Every vampire I have ever met since I was 16 has done the same thing. How about we just forget it and move on deal?" I asked hopefully.

"Deal. Fangtasia is having a party to celebrate us being out of the coffin for 5 years. I would really like it if you were there to meet some of my associates." He said

" I will be there as long as nothing else comes up. When is this party and why havent I heard anything about it?" I asked

" It is this upcoming Saturday. There was no legalities to look over so I left you out of the loop." he said ushering me to the door.

" Alright so that gives me three days to find something to wear and get everything caught up so I can enjoy my night off." I said more to myself than to him.

Once outside we said our goodbyes and he stepped into the limo as I headed to my car around the block. As I got in my phone rang. It was Isis. I hadn't talked to her much in the past week or so. I had literally buried myself in my work.

"Hello Tante. How are you tonight?" I answered.

" I am well Fey. Are you busy currently?" she asked

" Not very. Did you need something from me?"

" Ja, can you come by Sophie-Ann's palace? I would like to introduce you to someone." she happily chatted.

" Okay Tante, I will be there in about twenty minutes or so. I was just showing Eric a building in town so I am very close." I explained.

" Okay child. I will see you then." she said hanging up.

I drove towards the Queens mansion. I had not been there in since I was 13 but I remembered the way. I wondered who she wanted me to meet. That was the great thing about growing up with my Tante she always made life interesting. I parked my car just outside of the gates at the Queens mansion. The guards checked my I.D. and escorted me into the sunroom.

" FREYA! It has been ten years since I last saw you. Come sit with me." Sophie practically squealed.

" I love the new day room Aunt Sophie. How have you been?" I said taking a seat.

" I have been very busy as of late. With us being out in the open now, I have a very full agenda." she said lounging on her chair.

"There you are Fey. I thought I heard your voice." Isis said entering the room.

" I missed you Tante." I said giving her a hug.

" There is someone here I want you to meet. His name is Alan and I think you two will get along famously." she said motioning to a six foot two vampire with long black hair and emerald colored eyes. He was athletically built with an amazing smile.

" Hi I'm Alan. Your Aunt hasn't stopped talking about you since we ran into each other earlier this year." he said extending his hand.

" I'm Freya but you can call me Fey. I guess you are the vampire from her law firm that is perfect for me." I laughed shaking his hand.

Alan and I spent the rest of the night talking. I had learned that he was 323 years old and was changed by an ex lover. He had no political aspirations and was actually rather shy. He was amazing. When the sun started to rise I wished everyone a good night and decided to head back to my home. I couldn't wait to rest and process all of the events of today.

Eric's POV

After leaving the new club site I made sure Freya got to her car okay. I had tried a million times to talk to her over the past three weeks. She had went extremely out of her way to avoid me. She even went as far as to talk directly to Pam. I had thought about sending her flowers and other gifts to say I was sorry but had refused at the last minute. I knew I had messed up but I wasn't happy at the thought of asking forgiveness from her. As I watched her work I caught myself think about how soft her skin was under my hand or how full her lips were when they were pressed against mine. As the second week began I would hear her laughing with Pam or smiling while talking to Chow and I would get extremely jealous. I didn't like that none of it was my doing. She intrigued me beyond anything else around me. Tonight was the first time I had a chance to actually talk to her. I wanted to ask her to be my companion for our coming out event. I decided to settle for just inviting her. I saw her drive off and decided to head back towards the club.

" How was the walk through Master?" Pam asked as I walked in.

" It was fine." I said walking to the office. " How are the preparations for the event coming?"

" They are all ready. The decorations will be hung up Saturday morning by the day staff. The food for all the companions and pets will be delivered 2 hours before it starts. Speaking of companions, what did Ms Freya say?"

" She is coming. But she is coming as a guest not as my personal date. She actually seemed excited. Said she needed to find an outfit." I said giving my child that evil smirk.

" Should I assist her Master?" Pam asked knowingly.

" Yes I want her to look mouthwatering. I want her dress strapless, tight and short." I gave her my order. I had a vision of what Freya would look like. I wanted every vampire in there to hunger after her. I knew the scent of a virgin would already drive them wild. I wanted her to come to me for protection and that is when I would woo her. I wanted her to know I was the only one who cold keep her safe.

" Pam, I want her to know the dress is from me and also send her your pet who is the stylist." I told her as she left my office. I

quickly looked over all of the paperwork from inventory. As the sun began to rise I headed to my chamber. I took my laptop and began to mark pages of dresses I would have Pam look at when she rose. For now I would simply rest and think of what suprises were to come my way from this enchanting future Goddess.

A/N: I hope you all loved this chapter. I know it was a bit short but I wanted to get it out so no one would beat me with her flip flop.(Cheris) Please leave a review. Thanks for reading it.
