I was dreaming of a conversation I'd had with gran' when I was a little girl about finding my prince charming.

Gran had told me that 'my prince WOULD come one day and my heart would know him because he'd sweep me off my feet and save me from…,' then I felt Bill's cool hand traveling from my neck down to my shoulders as his cool lips followed not far behind; and I awoke before gran' could finish speaking.

He was holding me close to him and as I opened my eyes and I was greeted with his loving dark eyes and smiling face "Good evening my darling," and it brought tears to my eyes.

Bill's brows grew tight with love and concern written all over his face as he asked; "Sweetheart what is wrong? Why are you crying? We are safe my love, we are home. I will not let anything or anyone hurt you ever again, I'll save you even from myself."

With my still groggy voice all I could say was "I didn't know how much I loved you until I almost lost you, please forgive me."

Bill's beautiful dark eyes glassed over pink as now he was in tears: "Sweetheart I have nothing to forgive you for but I must ask you to forgive me all the pain I have brought into your life since the day I entered it; But I have loved you since the first time I held you and I have been yours since the first time you kissed me. And, I promise to love you for all of eternity and ever after."

Now I was crying in earnest; I pulled him to me and whispered "I forgave you a million years ago and I WILL love you for all eternity and ever after too."

Bill held me close to his chest as he leaned down and took my lips in his. Softly and carefully grabbing my lower lip between his and then we opened our mouths to each other as we continued to kiss. The world stood still during that kiss; all I could think of was all I would have lost if I'd lost him and my heart sank.

As our kiss intensified I passed my tongue over Bill's upper lip and slowly descending fangs. Bill let out a little throaty grumble and I felt it all the way down my toes; as the passion started to take over us and I let out my own little moan.

Bill disengaged from our kiss and started kissing down my neck. His cool tongue running down to my collarbone as my body trembled under his touch and my fingers wrapped themselves around his hair. He gently lifted my nightgown over my head and set me back down on the bed.

His eyes never removing themselves from my gaze. He ran his cool and powerful but gentle hands slowly over my body as if he wanted to commit it to memory. And I let out a desperate moan. I had missed his touch so much.

Bill lowered himself onto my body, kissing my breasts and wrapping his mouth around my left nipple before moving to the other. Giving each equal attention, he carefully nibbled on each as they stood erect against his tongue. He continued lightly kissing a trail from my breasts down to my stomach, and positioned himself between my legs and I let out another desperate moan. I thought I was going to explode and he hadn't even really touched me yet. He pulled down my panties and I heard him inhale in my scent as he let out an appreciative grumble. I was wetter than I'd ever been in my life. Then he leaned in and I felt him tasting me. My body quivered at his touch. Bill's fingers entered me as his thumb slowly stroked my nub and my eyes rolled back as I called out his name begging him to continue.

"Oh Bill please, honey, please."

I felt him grumble with satisfaction and lust as I arched my back with the sheer pleasure of his mouth on me. Bill licked and probed me as his fingers did wonderful things to me – I pulled him in wanting to get him closer. His fingers maintained an equal rhythm with his tongue and I came, shuddering and bucking as I screamed out his name. Bill continued this relentless pace until he had me teetering on the border of yet another climax but with the speed of a vampire he flew on top of me but did not enter me (as I panted my protest to the lose of his tongue) - "no".

He took my lips in his and kissed me and I could taste myself on his lips and the taste drove me wild for him. I pushed his shoulders up and he let me roll him onto his back. I started to kiss him down his neck, nibbling him softly as I moved to his nipples. I heard him moan when I bit them and I reached down to his very hard and very ready shaft. I wrapped my fingers around it and heard Bill make a 'very human sound.'

"Oh Sookie, oh."

I kept my downward trail and took him in my mouth. Bill gasped and trembled under me, his hands holding my hair so that he could watch what I was doing. I slid my tongue up and down his length and heard him groan deep in his chest. I twirled my tongue around his head and pushed my mouth down his length. Bill was heaving as if he really needed air in his lungs, and he called out to me "please, Sookie please," but I just kept going; alternating between deep thrusts and soft licks not letting him have his release yet (I could play that game too). I felt his orgasm building slowly and deliciously as my hands followed the up and down movement of my mouth and I increased my pace. Bill came crying out my name and pulled me up to his awaiting mouth. (We were desperate for each other). He kissed me and flipped me over.

"Open for me Sookie," as his fingers spread my wetness and with desperation I felt him enter me. We both gasped as we looked into each other eyes. He pulled out some and maintained a slow and steady rhythm but I wanted him further in me. I shifted my legs and he shook his head, pushing my leg back and pulling out of me half way. He knew he was driving me crazy but he said, "I want to feel this for a while before I move deeper in you." I thought I was going to pass out from the pleasure he was giving me.

He wanted it slow and sweet even though I knew he was straining to keep this pace. I was in ecstasy and I felt myself hovering on the edge again; this was new to me. How could he make me cum with this slow pace and while not being completely inside me. He kept his eyes on mine as I lost track of time, space and life itself; all I was aware of was of this man, this wonderful man and the ecstasy he was bringing me to. He kept this maddening pace as if he was trying to commit my body and our pleasure to memory. I felt myself tighten around him as my pleasure built and I screamed "bite me Bill, I want to feel you bite me as I cum, bite me!" I felt his chest rumble and he let out a deep growl as he bent to my shoulder, the moment I felt his fangs pierce my skin I started to cum and the feeling did not subside until he stopped sucking from me. He withdrew his fangs, slowly licking the little wounds as I shuddered with aftershocks.

But Bill wasn't finished with me yet. If he was trying to kill me I sure was enjoying the way he was doing it.

Bill lifted my legs and wrapped them around him and pressed himself deeper than I'd ever felt him before, he was moving in earnest now. Increasing his speed with every thrust, pulling himself almost completely out of me before thrusting back in. I wrapped my arms over his neck and pulled him to me, bringing his mouth to mine, our kiss was passionate and desperate as if we would never kiss each other again. I felt myself building to yet another climax or continuing the last one, I no longer knew or cared and my walls tighten again as his climax threatened with its' own release. I released his mouth and bent myself into his neck, licking him slowly while sliding my arms down his back, dragging my nails into his skin. Bill let out a desperate growl and I felt him trying to control himself but I bit into his neck and he lost it. I bit him hard enough to break his skin and I sucked in his blood as our simultaneous climaxes took over. Bill let out a growl that shook the room and I shouted to the rooftops, "I'M YOURS! Oh My God I'M YOURS!!!"

We hung on to each other for dear life panting. Bill dropped his head on my shoulders as my body shook under him.

He kissed the fang marks he'd left on my shoulder and I felt wetness hit my skin. I pulled him up to my eyes; his eyes were welling in red and he had tear marks running down his cheeks.

I licked the traces left by his tears as I told him "I AM YOURS. I'll love you forever Bill Compton." He responded in kind and held me to him, nothing else needed to be said.
