Thank you for all for reading this. Another chapter will be up soon. Promise ;)

Chapter Seventeen:

This guy was unbelievable. Really. With Vampire strength and speed, he could have had me in my birthday suit within seconds. Instead, all he did was push off my dressing gown and throw it to the sofa. His cold hands had pushed my dress up to my hips and he had hooked a thumb under panties. I feared he may rip them off… I liked these panties. They were pink boxer briefs with white lining and a white star on the corner. Very cute and comfortable.

I couldn't pull back from the kiss because my head was already against the door, but I could turn my head to the side.

"Eric, stop it." I whimpered trembling at his slow, sensuous kisses along my jaw and down my neck, his fangs deliberately scraping lightly across my pulse. I shuddered and gripped his shoulders tighter. He didn't show any intention of stopping, trailing his kisses along my collar bone and I whimpered in the pleasure of it, "Please…" I whispered and he sighed, resting his head on my shoulder, panting. Wait, that was me panting…

"Why do you deny yourself what you want?" he asked, an undertone of his frustrated growl and I gulped, trying to find my resolve.

"How do you know this is what I want?" I challenged, knowing I will fail miserably. He chuckled and lifted his head, using a spare hand to turn my face towards him.

"Because of the way you react with a simple touch." his hand slowly traced down my arm and I shivered, "The way you moan my name in you sleep."

Whoa… HELLO, WHAT! My eyes widened with my brows shooting to my hairline. I felt the heat flood into my cheeks and he only laughed at the sight.

"Since when do I… do that" I shrieked, but it was basically a croaked whisper and he only shook his head, placing a soft peck on my lips in order to silence me.

"You talk in your sleep…" he explained with a smile and I slowly nodded.

"Oh yeah…" I sighed and leaned my head back on the door, my eyes fluttering close, "Fudge…"

He started trailing kisses up my neck again. I was already turned on… he couldn't do any more damage than he has already. I just got to make sure I don't screw him and then I'll be fine. I'm fairly certain that I am a fool to not sleep with him, but I would be a total dumb-ass if I did sleep with him. Then again-

"Stop thinking, it's frustrating when I'm trying to seduce you." he growled before pressing his lips to mine. Oh Fuck it! I smirked at the comment before pushing his jacket off and throwing it across the room in a random direction before turning my full attention to his wonderful lips…

I felt him grin as the cold fingers of his left hand trailed up my side effectively pushing my dress up with it. I shuddered wrapping my arms round his neck and burying them in his hair. He groaned when I tightened my hold around his waist and pulled us away from the door. I pulled away from his lips and laughed when he growled.

"I should really stop this." I breathed as I leaned in to kiss him before pulling away once more.

"No, you really shouldn't." he started to kiss and lightly nip down my neck. I moaned, tightening my hold around his waist a fraction more and attempting to pull him closer to me.

"This isn't…" I couldn't finish my sentence as he kissed me fiercely before I felt myself being lowered onto the bed. He pulled back for a split second to look at me.

"You're not doing much to stop Me." he was smug about that fact and I laughed with a nod. I wasn't and I don't really know why… Or even why I'm being so… light hearted about the situation…

I used my arms to support my body as he slid us over to the centre of the bed before claiming my lips once more, my hands tangling themselves in his hair once more. I loved it at this length. It was just so sexy when it fell in his face or was just pushed back. Actually, his hair this length was just sexy full stop…

Eric had been able to push my night dress off and throw it across the room leaving me in just my panties. Before you say anything, no, I don't wear a bra to bed. It's uncomfortable.

His kisses left my mouth to trail along my jaw, down my neck and then finally pause to give my chest a lot of his attention. With one hand massaging on breast, his mouth was teasing the nipple on the other. I moaned in pleasure the way his tongue teased and flicked at it. I felt my body arch into him when he even bit down lightly. I whimpered at the loss of his mouth when he pulled back, only to switch to the other and push my hips against his very evident hard on. Definitely too late to back out of it now… If he gets a phone call, I will throw it against the blasted wall. How'd you like them apples Pam eh? You can't phone at the wrong time now!

His mouth crashed down on my lips within seconds and I felt his hands unwrap my legs from his waist. I growled at this and he pulled back to grin at me before I pulled his head back down forcefully.

I ran my hands slowly down his chest, feeling his defined muscles through the tank. I tugged at the offending item of clothing and felt him chuckle in the kiss. I just bit his bottom lip lightly before pushing his top up, releasing his lips for the split second. I had to try and hide my grin at the site in front of me. His pale body was… Gosh… the best way I could honestly describe it would be: perfect.

Whilst I admired his torso, I ran a slow hand down letting the tips of my fingers trace the dips between his abs. He shivered from my hot touch before leaning down to tenderly kiss my swelling lips. I nipped his lips playfully with a grin as I swiftly undid his belt buckle and pushed his trousers off with my feet. It turns out that our dear sheriff was going commando today. I laughed in amusement and leaned back in the pillows to see him grinning.

"I don't think I want to ask." I breathed and his shoulders shook in a silent laugh before his lips crushed down onto mine aggressively. I grasped onto him softly, snaking my free hand up to his hair scrunching it in my fist.

He groaned and pulled away by a fraction, my tongue snaked out to trace along his fangs just touching his top lip causing him to shudder. I grinned when he closed his eyes as my fingers stroked along his length delicately, teasing him in the process. He finally growled in frustration and ripped my panties off. I pouted unable to hide my amusement at his actions.

"I liked them." I whispered, leaving butterfly pecks along his jaw,.

"They're hideous. Never wear them again." his voice sounded strained as he tried to peck me, but I raised my chin to prevent this. He growled again making me chuckle and twirl a strand of his hair.

"Well they were comfy." I pecked his lips again. He opened his hazy eyes to stare down at me.

"I apologise…" he smiled, his fangs still extended. I could just about see them and they didn't look like they were in the way or annoying at all. I noticed that they were smaller than Darren's. Oh Lord… I'm thinking about Darren when I'm about to have sex with Eric! What's wrong with me?

"I think you should make it up to me." I smiled coyly making him grin and then gasp as I took a hold of his member once more.

"I think you are a little Minx…" He groaned when my hand slowly slid up and then down on him. I chuckled breathily and nipped playfully at his lips.

"I like to think so." I used my spare hand to pull him towards me locking my tongue with his.

I guessed he used his vampire speed because he had my hands pinned either side of my head and he was tortuously rubbing his length along my bundle of nerves. I moaned, shaking in pleasure, bucking my hips, increasing the friction that he was causing between us.

He released by wrists, they shot straight round his neck and into his hair to pull him closer to me.

I gasped, arching my back in the process, when he finally entered ending our playtime. It didn't take long before we were at an equal pace. I had to bite into his shoulder to stop myself from moaning. It was difficult to be quiet.

He lifted a leg, creating more friction, hitting a spot that had my back arching, my head pushing back into the pillow and me on the verge of screaming in pleasure…

Curling up into his embrace, I rested my head on his chest. I never really thought of Eric Northman to be a… Snuggler, but apparently he enjoyed it thoroughly. I was pretty sure my hair was a mess and I was in desperate need of a shower, but after that session (Or sessions, guiltily enough), I was left ready to sleep the whole day away.

His cold fingers traced a long my side slowly as my warm ones were remembering his defined abs. I was never able to do this with Darren… He didn't really have any and I never 'snuggled' with my one night stands. It was sex, maybe sleep, and then go; Hot, sweaty sex with no strings attached and occasionally the swapping of numbers to meet up a few more times. Even though I loved the whole 'one night stand with no strings attached' thing, I unfortunately knew that Eric was not a one night stand and I have most likely done a very stupid thing. My future was probably screwed and it was all thanks to one night of… hot, sweaty, bloody fantastic sex.

The said person kissed my mussed curly hair placing his free hand over mine, which was memorizing his beautiful torso.

"That tickles." he murmured and I grinned, giggling silently.

"Is the Big Bad Sherriff ticklish?" I tilted my head up towards him and he was frowning, looking at the ceiling before looking down to me with a small smile.

"Sometimes." he beamed and I nodded resting my head back on his chest.

"Who woulda thunk it." I muttered making him chortle. I felt his voice vibrate and his chest shake slightly. I tried to remove my hand from under his, but he gripped my wrist, twisting it round so he could rub his thumb over my pulse on my wrist.

My eyes looked up to the time to see the sun should already be up (Or rising), yet Eric was awake and there was no sunlight in the room. Light tight rooms. They messed up your body clocks like crazy…

"How come you're not asleep yet?" I asked nodding my head in the direction of the clock. He brought my wrist to his lips as he kissed it softly before returning it to his waist.

"I am an old Vampire Hayley, I have better control over my need to rest." he explained before kissing the top of my head again. I nodded and paused once more.

"Does this mean you can wake up whenever you want to? Like… a Light sleeper?" he chuckled and I scowled, breaking my hand free and hitting him on the stomach, naturally it didn't affect him at all, "Don't laugh!" I had lifted myself up slightly to glare at him, but he only smiled back.

"I apologize." he pulled me on top of him, holding onto my wrists. I was now straddling his waist, bent quite low so our lips were almost touching, "You could say I am light sleeper, but I am definitely no way near tired right now."

His fangs were out and I could feel his arousal pressing lightly against my bum. I bit my bottom lip and laughed lightly, shaking my head.

"You're unbelievable." I muttered and he chuckled.

"And you're a tease." I was flipped over, my back pressed to his chest, my mouth being assaulted by his own. I have to say, he took his time this time round. It felt like he was just memorizing my body like I had been with him. I shocked us both by allowing him to bite me after giving him a tease of the taste of my blood. I'm not going to lie, even though we were slow this round, it seemed sweet… I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not because I have that slight alarm bell ringing at the back of my head slowly starting a freak out…

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door and tried to turn round, feeling a strong grip hugging me from behind. I blinked and tried to pull out of the grip once more, but it tightened and pulled me closer to its body. The annoying thing was, I had quite literally just fallen asleep.

"Eric." I moaned trying to remove his arms from my waist, "I need to answer it."

I felt his cold kisses on my shoulder and I tried to shrug him away.

"Let them knock." he muttered, continuing to kiss a long my shoulder to my neck. I growled and spun round, pushing him onto his back and straddling his waist. I leaned down and gave him a peck on the lips before pulling away and jumping off him.

"I'm not rude." I called before picking up my night dress and slipping it on as I walked into the lounge area. I quickly kicked away his clothes from the view point of the door and wrapped the grey dressing gown around my body tightly.

"Hayley?" I heard Sookie call from the other side and opened the door, acting as if she just woke me up. The girl was already dressed, but her hair was only neatened.

"Sook, it's early." I leaned on the door frame and tried to prevent her from looking further into my room.

"It's nine o'clock." Sookie laughed brightly and one look from me made her try to hide her giggles, "No offence Hayley, but you look like you got zero sleep last night."

"You could say that… anyway, what's wrong?" I gave her a small smile.

"Oh! I went and spoke with that guy from last night at the continental breakfast, which by the way is just cereal and pastries…" she started, going off subject.

"Seriously? That's not very continental!" I replied, momentarily forgetting about a certain vampire in the bedroom.

"I know! I brought you a Danish pastry up in case you didn't want to go down there. Real disappointment." We both giggled and I took the Danish wrapped in a tissue.

"Thanks Sook, I'll eat it after a couple more hours of sleep." I smiled brightly and then blinked "what about the guy?" she jumped and nodded.

"Oh yeah! He just didn't want to know at all! I offered to help him to advance in everything, but he just doesn't want to know about it. I mean, I know Barry's afraid for his life, but there's still no reason to deny It." she ran a hand through her hair and I sighed, leaning my weight onto the door. I am guessing Barry was his name. Wait… Heh, Barry the Bellboy. Oh dear the poor thing.

"Well Poo. We could try again tonight maybe? Or later on today? We've got nothing to do right?" I asked and she nodded with a bright smile.

"I'll knock for you later. I gotta get back to Bill now." she smiled and waved before walking back towards her own room. I closed the door with a smile and placed the Danish on the counter in the kitchenette before heading back into the bedroom. Eric had sat up, his hands resting on his lap. He had a smirk on his lips as I walked in running a hand through my hair in attempts to neaten it. How he wasn't dead yet was beyond me. In fact, I had forgotten he was a vampire just minutes ago… Mainly because he wasn't dead yet. Cold skin didn't do much to shock me now; I was used to it after twenty years of waking up and snuggling up to Darren.

"Has Sookie found a new man to replace that idiot Compton?" He asked as I crawled into the bed next to him. I frowned as I fluffed my pillows.

"Of course not and Bill's not that bad." I started to shuffle myself further down the bed as I got ready to lie down, but he reached out and pulled me towards him. I just accepted it, curling up on him, my head resting against his chest and my legs tangling with his.

"Compton's a fool." he stated, I sighed and shook my head, tracing the tips of my fingers round his stomach again. He had an incredible body. No really… you don't get bodies like this normally… It put Ryan Reynolds's body to shame and let me tell you something: That's a big thing for me to say.

"Fact is, she's happy with him so whether he is a fool or not doesn't matter. I personally don't know what to think of him. His mood swings seem to be worse than mine, except his range from Anger to happy, happy being with Sookie only." I tucked some hair behind my ear before I rested my head back on his chest.

"Yes, his mood changes do seem to make yours seem like nothing." he grumbled and I laughed. He gently held my wrist, his thumb rubbing circles on my pulse point once more, whilst his other hand stroked my back. He was quite touchy feely when you think about… It was quite relaxing anyhow so I'm not about to stop him…

I nuzzled his chest slightly and curled a little more into his embrace as I got myself comfortable. He chuckled and tightened his hold, still stroking my back and circling my wrist. He slowly brought it to his lips as he pressed a light kiss to my pulse before resting it back on his chest.

I could tell that he was now settling himself down to rest for the day, also, I don't think he had much of a choice in the matter… The sun rises around seven am and it's now Nine.

He held me close to his body and got comfortable himself. My eyes slowly closed as the exhaustion began to consume my body, readying it for sleep. I wasn't going to sleep for long, knowing that Sookie will be knocking at the door around eleven or midday. A couple hours will most likely do nothing for me, but I had a few bottles of my water. If I get an empty bottle and dilute my water down with normal, I'm sure I'll be fine for both today and this evening… Unless Sookie decides to get back early so she can be there when Bill wakes up. I'm not too sure if I want to be in Eric's arms when he wakes up… Who knows what he'll be like… Hungry? Horny? Out of control? I don't know… I doubt he'll be out of control or hungry, maybe a little bit hungry, because he had a bit of my blood, but I don't know. I'm guessing horny as heck…

I mentally shrugged it off as I drifted off to a dreamless sleep. It was nice to have a dreamless sleep, I had that nightmare again the other night and it scared me a little bit. Was it telling me of events to come? Was it warning me to be careful of what I am doing? I guess I'll find out sooner or later, maybe I can prevent it…

I hope some previous questions have been answered and like my beta's, you threw your arms in the air shouted 'about time!'.
I don't know what your opinion is, but I feel like I could have dragged out the chemistry a bit longer, but unfortunately, Hayley and Eric have minds of their own when it comes to writing this.

Oh! And for those who have asked about the sequel I have previous said: Yes, there is one and yes I am slowly writing it, but I feel I have lost Hayley somewhat since there was indeed a break when writing her and writing some original work. That's another reason for slow updates. I'm actually re-reading my work, proofing it and then sending it off to be beta'd to find Hayley once more. (If that makes sense to you then I applaud you all! ;D ) Anyway, enough babbling from me.

Let me know what you think.
