Chapter 16 – EPOV

She moaned against my lips as I moved a hand down to cup her ass. She ground her wet heat into my cock and I had to take a step back before I took things too far. I had said that I wouldn't take advantage under Adele's roof, but Sookie was so tempting…

"Aaah Sookie..." I gasped as I lowered her back to the floor "I want you so much, but…"

"Shh love" she whispered, pressing her fingers against my lips. "No one will hear anything. Just let me love you" She flicked off the lights and pulled me toward the bed; keeping her eyes on me she flicked back the covers and knelt in the middle, pulling me toward her and pressing herself against me.

I needed her so much… she was like air to me… the slight pressure of her hands on my arms directed me to lie back on the pillows, I knew she would want to be on top, at least for now… hopefully I would get to return the favor.

She proceeded to give me the best head I had ever received… ever. She was so blatantly sexual and erotic in her touch and speech that she drove me to beg her for her touch, beg her to let me touch her, to see her body. She drove me to mumble gibberish under my breath so that the feeling would keep going. She was amazing, she is a goddess, and she is mine.

Once she had taken me to heaven she curled up against my side and rested her head over my heart. I wrapped my arms around her tightly, running my fingers over her silken skin, caressing her, soothing her and reveling in the closeness she had bought us.

"So that was good?" she asked nervously after a few minutes.

"No my love, that was fucking awesome" I moaned, pulling her up onto my chest so I could see her beautiful eyes. "Thank you love… thank you"

"You're welcome honey" she smiled gently and nuzzled into my chest, pulling the covers over us and draping herself over me.

"You were amazing Sookie" I said, moving my hands over her body again and down to cup her ass. "Now it's my turn to please you" I chuckled as I rolled her off me and onto her back. I kissed her hard, trying to let her know that even though she had given me my release, I wasn't fully satisfied until she was.

Wanting to feel her nakedness against my own I removed her shorts and underwear, both damp with her arousal and drenched in her scent. I ran my hands over her again, trying to memorize the perfection in front of me. I would never get tired of her, never get tired of us, never get tired of the closeness we had.

"I love you so much Sookie Stackhouse" I whispered, looking straight into her eyes.

"I love you even more, Eric Northman" she whispered back, meeting my gaze and putting a hand to my cheek

"Impossible" I sighed as I captured her mouth again. How is it possible for every kiss to feel like the first? The sparks that flew between us made me pant with want. I ran my hands over her silken skin, caressing and tickling, causing her to squirm and gasp for more.

The satisfied sigh that left her mouth as my hand finally made contact with her curls was delicious. I wanted to hear it again.

My lips left her mouth to trail across her cheek, I captured her earlobe in my mouth and sucked it gently, releasing it a second later to curl my tongue into the hollow behind. I knew this drove her wild so I kissed my way down her neck, her head involuntarily moving away to give me better access to the column of her neck.

"Eric" she sighed, running her hands over my shoulders and down my back.

"Yes my love" I whispered "let me give you bliss" I nibbled at her collar bone and made my way over to the other side of her neck, licking and kissing my way up to her other ear, suckling on the lobe and flicking my tongue into the hollow again, making her squirm against me.

I ghosted one hand down the centre of her body, barely touching her skin, making her shiver. I rested it on her hip as I kissed my way back to her mouth, biting gently on her bottom lip and massaging her tongue with my own. She still tasted faintly of me and toothpaste.

She moaned against my lips and tangled her hands into my hair, I deepened the kiss and pressed my whole body against hers, rippling myself up from hips to chest and loving the feeling of her writhing beneath me.

I released her mouth and trailed my lips, kissing and licking my way down from her chin, down her neck, across her chest to one of her breasts. I raised my hand from her hip to palm the nipple of one while I captured the nipple of the other in my mouth, gently nibbling and sucking, flicking it with my tongue and causing her to shudder deliciously.

Her hands tugged at my hair and pulled me gently to the other. I shifted my weight to the other side, swapping hands to use my fingers and tweak at the nipple I had just left while I paid the same attention to the other.

She groaned my name and hissed as she pressed me closer to her breast. I loved her taste and needed more. I flicked my tongue quickly against the swollen bud and released it from my mouth.

I breathed out, heating the skin as I moved my way to the centre of her chest, licking and kissing my way down her centre to her stomach where I swirled my tongue around her belly button and kneaded her hips with my fingers.

I knelt between her thighs and kissed my way further down, moving over to one hip and brushing my lips against the hollow there, breathing out against her skin leaving a trail of moisture that cooled in the night air.

She was quietly gasping and moaning every now and again I caught my name or an Oh God. I moved over to the other hip and repeated the process as I moved my hands down the outside of her legs, causing her to tighten her thighs against me and give herself some friction as the muscles of her inner thighs moved against her dripping wet pussy.

I brushed my lips over the blonde curls that covered her sex and smiled as she tried to push herself against my mouth, wanting more, but I wasn't ready yet.

"Eric please…I need… I want… please" she panted, unable to form a complete sentence… this is good.

"Soon my love" I whispered against her curls as I sat back on my knees and pulled one of her ankles to my mouth.

I kissed and licked my way down her smooth calf, flicking my tongue behind her knee and placing a kiss on top as I put her foot flat on the bed. I grasped her other ankle and repeated the process, savoring the taste of her skin and delighting in the pleasure I was bringing her.

With both of her feet planted on the bed I pushed her knees apart gently and moved between them, I leant over her and kissed her mouth hungrily, groaning as she pushed her hips up against my own, feeling her juices against my stomach.

Leaning on one arm I shifted my weight and whilst I kissed her with abandon I drew one finger down from her chest to her curls, she released my mouth and sighed as I slid one finger into her moist slit all the way down to her weeping pussy. I pressed my palm against her mound and ground against her clit as I captured her mouth again and slipped my finger into her.

She twisted and writhed against me in pleasure, her hands all over me, pulling me to her, kneading my ass and clutching at my shoulders. One leg hitched up over my hip urging me deeper into her core.

I removed my hand from her sex and she whimpered, almost in pain. I gently moved her leg back to it's original position and slid myself down her body.

"Watch me love" I growled "watch me lick your clit, watch me make you writhe in pleasure. I want to make you cum… hard."

Her eyes hooded with lust snapped to my face and she propped herself up on her elbows, waiting… watching me intently.

I fitted my shoulders behind her thighs and wrapped one arm around her hip and across her pelvis, I traced a finger down her slit again, parting her swollen lips and teasing her waiting hole.

"Keep your eyes on me Sookie" I whispered as I lowered my mouth to her mound and gently flicked the tip of my tongue against her clit as I plunged my finger into her hot core swirling and stretching it a little.

She collapsed back onto the bed, her back arching, her hands shooting to my hair, pressing me against her sex and moaning for more. She lifted her head to gaze on my face again as I continued to pleasure her.

I kissed and sucked on the hard nub of her clit, licking it softly then tightening my tongue to flick it quickly for a little while as I suckled it with my lips. She tasted divine… sweet and sticky and I needed more.

I removed my hand and licked her juices from my finger, loving the blatant desire on her face as I did so. I circled my thumb gently against her clit, massaging her mons with the base of my thumb, my palm slowly tightening and massaging her mound. I licked and kissed my way down to her dripping opening and with one last pass of my tongue to her lips I tightened my tongue and plunged it into her.

Her hands pushed at my head and her hips bucked up toward my face, trying to get me closer, deeper. I pressed against her pelvis with my arm, keeping her still and moved a little faster and harder with my thumb as I swirled my tongue around inside her.

She tasted so good. I felt myself getting hard again. I fucked her with my tongue as she moaned and twisted beneath me. I loved that I could cause this reaction in her, that she trusted me to give her this pleasure.

I flattened my tongue against her and licked back up to her clit, moving my fingers back to her swollen opening and slipping a finger back inside. I kissed and sucked at her clit again as I massaged her inner walls with my finger, feeling her inner muscles clench against me as she moved in her pleasure.

I slipped another finger inside and started thrusting, wiggling my fingers quickly, stimulating her all over. As she started thrusting against my hand I curled my fingers back toward my palm, finding her g-spot and massaging it while I flicked my tongue rapidly across her swollen clit.

She was moaning and thrashing her head from side to side, she grabbed a pillow and let out a deep growl into it, obviously unable to stay quiet any longer. I smiled in pleasure at causing this reaction, knowing that it meant she was enjoying herself.

"Eric" she hissed "please… please make me cum"

"Of course my love, anything for you" I whispered and redoubled my efforts on her clit while moving another finger into her channel, relishing in the tight clenching of muscles against them.

"Eric I'm close… I'm so close" she gasped "please… I need to hold you as I cum… please"

"Yes love" I murmured, shifting my hand so that I was cupping her entire sex, the ball of my thumb massaging her clit as my fingers thrust and curled, hitting her g-spot every time and making her gasp.

I licked the taste of her from my lips and captured her mouth with my own. Her leg moved to hitch up over my hip and her hands clutched at my back, pulling me close.

"Tell me you love me again Eric…" she panted softly, even in her passion aware of the noise we were making "I need to hear you say it again"

"I love you my goddess, always and forever" I whispered then repeated it in Swedish knowing she loved the sound "Jag älskar dig min gudinna, alltid och för evigt"

"I love you…" she gasped "I love you Eric" she held me tighter, pushing her hips hard against my hand and pulling me close with her leg.

"Come to me beloved" I moaned in her ear "kommit för mig älskling, kommit för mig"

Sookie shoved her fist into her mouth and her eyes shot open to meet mine. Her body spasming in ecstasy as her muscles clenched around my fingers and her juices drenched my hand. She groaned and swore and shook through it all, holding me close as I massaged her through her climax and bought her to climax again with the aid of the aftershocks and my talented fingers over and over.

When she couldn't stand anymore she grasped my wrist and I eased my fingers out of her slowly, kissing her softly as she panted for breath.

"Fuck" she gasped and collapsed back onto her bed. "remind me to tell Amelia that geeks are good with their fingers" she chuckled as she stretched up to kiss me again, lazily licking my lip and sucking it gently.

"So does that mean I get to do it again later" I murmured, pulling the covers over us again.

"Fuck yeah" she panted "although maybe not tonight, I'm exhausted for now"

I chuckled at her blissed out rambling.

"Thank you Eric" she said seriously staring into my eyes and touching my face again gently "it was beautiful, and special and just… wow"

I laughed again and kissed her

"Thank you" she whispered

"You… are…very… welcome… beloved" I said, punctuating each word with a kiss.

She unwound herself from me and put her clothes back on, passing me some tissues to wipe my hand. I did so and threw them into the trash, pulling my borrowed pants back on and climbing into bed again.

"I love you Eric…you know that right?" she asked nervously

"Yes Sookie, I know" I kissed her shoulder as I pulled her against my chest and wrapped her in my arms. "I love you too"

"I just…" she sighed sadly

"What beloved?" I asked, wondering how she went from so happy to the verge of tears so quickly

"I just don't know what I'd do if you left me" she confessed, crying silently, her small frame shaking with her sobs.

"I'll never leave you Sookie" I said soothingly, holding her tightly and tangling my legs with hers "We are forever"

"How do you know?" she sniffed "what if you go home and see someone else, someone prettier or smarter or… less damaged"

Oh…

"Despite what you had to endure in the past my dearest love… I will never ever treat you that way, I will never find anyone who could replace you in my heart or in my arms. You are everything to me and I will tell you every single day for the rest of our lives if that is what you need. I love you Sookie Stackhouse, that's never going to change"

"I love you Eric" she sighed, twisting in my arms and burrowing her face between my neck and my pillow "I'm sorry I'm being such a head case."

"Never apologize for expressing your feelings love" I whispered "They are just as valid when they are sad as when they are joyous"

I felt her nod against me as her hands moved to wrap around my waist.

"Besides" I chuckled "How else am I going to know if I fucked up? I'm a boy, you know we can be dense sometimes" I said trying to make her smile again.

She giggled a little and kissed my neck

"Yeah… you astrophysicists are a pretty dense bunch" she teased and sighed, content again in my arms.

I laughed softly and captured her lips again. "You are beautiful, you are smart, you are brave and most of all you are loved, my Sookie" I said looking into her eyes so that she could see the truth in mine. "I will love you, always… and forever."

"Always and forever" she repeated, kissing me back.

"Now sleep my love" I murmured "Dream of our future together and see how happy it will be"

"Mmmm" she hummed "That would be nice" she said as she yawned and twisted in my arms again, snuggling back into my chest, her little butt fitting into my hips and her legs curling to match the shape of mine.

"Love you" she sighed as she drifted off.

"Love you" I said with a final kiss, closing my eyes and listening to her breathing steady and deepen as she fell asleep.

I thought of her ring, hidden away in my bedside table in New York and imagined the way it would look on her hand and the look on her face as she agreed to marry me. I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face and the love of my life in my arms.

A/N Yikes! who would have guessed I could write something like that! Eep!... and then Awww, snuggles and love at the end. Next chapter soon, bring the tissues, Eric will be going home :(
