Wow, what a great response to chapter one. Thanks guys, I'm flattered. And just because you all are so wonderful here is chapter two, in record time I might add.

When Sookie awoke it was almost full dark outside and it took her a moment to realize where she was…and whom she was with. At first she simply felt a heavy arm draped over her side, not unusual she had a boyfriend after all. And then she noticed the room itself. Noticed the broken mirror across the room and that's when it hit her. That arm did not belong to her boyfriend. That perfectly sculpted arm belonged to Eric Northman, the vampire that was not her boyfriend, the vampire that she had spent the night with. The vampire that she had sex with last night…twice.

"Shit." She said out loud, it seemed the only appropriate response to her actions and it was exactly what her actions would cause.

Eric's arm tightened around her middle bringing her back into full contact with his long, lean body. Shit.

"Eric, I have to go."

"No you don't."

"Except I do, I'm sure Bill is wondering where I was all day." Sookie said, rolling over to face him.

"And what do you plan on telling him?" He asked, studying her face.

"I don't know what I'm going to say yet but I think it would be unfair to pretend that everything is normal."

"So tell him the truth."

"The truth."

"Tell him that you spent the whole night having mind blowing sex with the person he hates most in this world. That way when he goes crazy with rage I will have an excuse to incapacitate him."

"No Eric, you are not allowed to kill Bill, he and I may have drifted apart but there is part of me that will always love him. And one night with you doesn't necessarily mean that there is going to be a repeat."

"Oh no?" He asked, leaning over and gently kissing her on the lips.

"Eric, I don't know what this is. What are we doing?"

His response was to smirk at her and then trail his hand down to a most sensitive area.

"Stop it!" said Sookie "I know what we're doing, I mean where do we go from here?"

"Well we could start by stopping at Fangtasia to check on Pam and then we could go to your house because I'm sure that you won't allow me to buy you a whole new wardrobe and then we could go to my residence and I could show you exactly what we are doing for a very long time."

This was quite a speech for Eric and having said all that he apparently thought that he was now allowed to return to driving her crazy with his mouth and hands.

"And why exactly would I go to your house? I have a place of my own and to be honest I don't really like you all that much."

"Well first, I realize that you have your own place but there is a good chance that the queen has heard of your talents by now and when she decides that she wants to use your services it would be nice if she had to contact me instead of simply having you kidnapped from your house, secondly I can think of a few things that would make this arrangement…agreeable and thirdly I think you like me just fine."

"You really think Sophie-Ann would have me kidnapped?"

"Yes."

"And what about Bill? You think that he will just let me go?"

"Yes."

"Well you are awfully confident."

"Yes."

"STOP SAYING YES!"

"Okay."

"You're impossible."

"Sookie just go tell Bill whatever you have to and I will make sure you don't regret it when you come home with me."

"Say, hypothetically, that I do this. What does that make us?"

"Lovers."

"Well that's…clear."

Eric sighed, not a sound that he made very often. "Sookie I will take care of you better than Bill ever could, isn't that enough?"

"No, but I'll take it for now on one condition."

"And what would that be?"

"You don't own me, I have all the freedom I want including the freedom to leave at any time with absolutely no resistance whatsoever from you."

"Fair enough."

"Now Eric don-… What?"

"I said okay."

"Oh, well, alright then."

With that settled Sookie snagged the sheet to cover her naked form and climbed out of bed making her way to the bathroom. Things would certainly not go well if she showed up back in Bill's room reeking of Eric, not that things would go well regardless. But to be on the safe side she decided that a shower was in order and after half an hour, and kicking Eric out twice, she was showered and dressed and ready to go face her soon to be ex-boyfriend. She headed to the door with a naked Eric in tow, she stopped at the door to tip toe up and kiss him on the cheek. Now that they had been out of bed for some time it was obvious that his maker's death was weighing heavily on his mind and it killed her to have to leave him alone but the promise of nights to come made her step over the threshold and close the door firmly behind her. And now to close another door. A door named Bill Compton.

Sookie took a few deep breaths to steady her nerves, straitened and smoothed her dress (as best she could) and then crossed the hall to face her first love. She opened the door to their room and stepped inside, making sure to close and lock the door behind her, Eric could be a bit of an ass hole sometimes and she didn't want him showing up to gloat and making a bad situation worse. Sookie barely had time to complete the thought before Bill was in front of her.

"Sookie, where have you been?" he said in his usual chastising tone.

And that's when she choked. She had no idea how to tell him that she was leaving him, not because she still wanted to be with him, but because she wasn't exactly sure how he would take the news. He could be a bit temperamental at times and even though she didn't think he would ever hurt her it was hard to say how he would react to something like this.

"Well I was…"

"I still don't understand why you had to go in the first place."

"No, you don't understand!" Okay so she knew what she was going to say. "Just like you don't understand my need to protect my brother, or my friendship with Tara, or my loyalty to Sam. You don't understand. And you certainly don't approve. And I am sick of you trying to control me Bill, you don't always know what's best for me."

"Sookie why are you being like this?"

"Because I just don't want it to be like this anymore."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I love you, and I'm sure that in some ways I always will, but I'm sorry I just cant be with you anymore."

"What is going on Sookie, what happened to make you want to leave me, after all we've been through?"

She looked away, even as brave as she could be in some situations this scared her.

"Well after Godric went to his final rest I went to see Eric."

Bill growled. "Why would you go see Eric? What did he do to you?"

"Nothing, I just realized that we've grown apart, I think it might be best if we parted ways now."

"Sookie this is madness, don't do this."

"I'm sorry Bill." Sookie turned to leave then having said what she needed to say.

"This isn't over Sookie, I will win you back…you are mine."

"Yeah, I don't really like being owned by anyone, think about that before you come crying for me to take you back, I'm done being someone's property."

And then she left. Walked out on the first man she had ever loved, had ever slept with, and smiled.
