I know we all hate Bill xD he'll be making an exit very soon ;) however there will be complications with Eric/Sookie's relationship. But it will all make sense as more chapters are added.
And just for everyone to know Eric isn't after Sookie for her talents. Of course he wants to give her the best chance because he knows it is her passion. However he does want her, in many ways more than one - but that will all be in good time. :D
Enjoy reading this chapter because I enjoyed writing it
and thank you all for reviewing, and please review each and every one makes me smile.
Eric was going to kiss me.
And I was about to let it happen…
I stood there my head tilted up and I knew what he was about to do so why couldn't I move? I couldn't breathe, the world around me was spinning, I gulped and I could feel his hand tighten around mine holding it afraid I'd move it, but my body was agreeing to what he wanted to do – what he was about to do,
HIT HIM my mind however was screaming in protest to slap him, but my hands remained dead weight, I felt his free hand now slip into my other, his slim long fingers lacing in my own slender small ones.
SHOUT AT HIM my mind yelled to my body but it got no response instead I felt his warm soft lips press onto mine. BILL my mind shouted but it was no use now, it continued throwing a load of profanities my way anything for my body to pick up the signals my mind was sending it. But even I knew it was no use I felt his hands slip from mine and wrap around my waist pulling me to him, his lips were now moulding themselves to my own, and I in return kissed him back, his lips coaxed over mine.
I think I may have let out a whimper as his lips stopped moving, which was when I felt his tongue seep out and press flat onto my upper lip his teeth gnawing at my lower lip – he was seeking entrance into my own mouth silently and there was not a single reason I could think of at that moment to deny him, so I did it, letting my lips part breathlessly I felt his wet sleek tongue move into the space and flick at my tongue.
I had no idea how long we stood there exchanging soft pecks, a bite on this lip – on that lip, a lick here, suckling a lip there, whimpering and moaning into the kiss. All I could think about was his lips, his hands which one now had been in my hair his fingers holding onto me as if I would slip away, his hold was too tight to break - too strong to pull away, he was something else entirely.
I felt that sharp pain in my heart and I knew the moment we'd break apart I'd feel the pain of what I did, was this cheating? What was cheating? Having sex with another person? Kissing? Touching? What could be classified as what I was doing now? I pushed the thought into the depths of my mind my brain, my thoughts now refocused on the tall blonde blue-eyed gorgeous guy whose lips moved in sync with mine, whose tongue was caressing my own in gentle soft flicks.
Bzzzz-ring-bzzz-ring ring ring-bzzzzz-ring ring.
Our eyes immediately flew open and that was all we needed to break apart, at some point during the kiss my hands must have reached up and snaked up around his neck holding him to me, his lips onto mine. Because I pulled away from him hastily I had to unlock my fingers and reach into my bag. An immediate frown covered my face – taking away any hints of a smile and replacing it with a grimace as I saw the name appear on the screen, taking a deep breath I answered it breathlessly and shakily,
"Hi honey" I added with too much enthusiasm and happiness.
"Hey…you okay?" Bill replied, I could practically see his eyebrow raised. He sounded breathless and I heard him groan,
"Bill?" I cut in,
"Ohh—fuck," he hissed into the phone, "my stomach" I heard him groan again before I felt my eyes well up with tears – such a fucking fantastic fiancée I am.
"was it something important?" I wondered,
"just calling to say I'll be home later than usual, work is jammed" another groan-
"okay thanks for letting me know…you're okay right?"
"mhm, see you later Sookie love you bye" before I even had the chance to reply I heard the dial tone but I kept the phone to my ear,
"lo-luh—you too" I couldn't even say the word, could I truly love him if what happened just now happened? How could I do it? I pulled the phone away from my ear and wiped at my cheeks dabbing with the tissue I had now pulled out as my back was still to Eric. This wasn't good not at all; no – this was a bad; very bad - this wasn't supposed to have happened.
This wasn't right.
But it felt so good.
"Sookie-" he began but I was in no mood for it,
"that wasn't supposed to have happened, I'm engaged. I said friends nothing more and then you go and do something like that" she didn't bother to wipe her cheeks again,
"oh so I forced you into it?" Eric's eyes grew cold, "did I force you into kissing me back? Did I?" he asked angrily,
"no-but—"
"don't give me bullshit Sookie you seem like a very nice girl I have no fucking idea why you'd be with such a dickhead like your fiancée but I could be so much better for you…"
"you don't even know him!" she spat back near hysterics,
"are you…" he took a step to her, and she move back one, "telling" step "me" step "that" step "what" step "just" step "happened…" I was up against my car and he closed in on me his hands on either side of the car, caving me in from any possible escape, "meant" he leaned closer his breath falling against my skin as the blonde stubble on his face tickled against my neck, his lips pressing into the crook of my neck, "nothing to you?" I tried not to breathe because if I did I knew it would be his scent, and that wouldn't help.
"please Eric don't" I begged him but he didn't listen,
"answer me Sookie" he growled into my ear causing my body to stiffen,
"I-I don't know" I blurted out and at that second the words left my mouth I swear I could feel him smirking against my skin, and as he pulled back my suspicions were corrected.
"you want me, and I want you" he stated matter-of-factly his blue eyes smouldering my own ones. Was there any use in denying it? In arguing back against him? Or should I just accept it nod and go along to what he was saying? -
"no-no, you may want me Eric but I don't want you" I stuttered but managed to regain my steadiness and make my voice rise, he seemed amused by what I said which just added to my rage,
"what's so funny?" I demanded staring at him my arms crossing over my chest,
"that you want to believe that lie," he cocked his head to the side I saw his eyes move to my chest and then back up to my lips as he closed the space between us again. I tried to move to pull myself away from the place I was but Eric had quite simply pulled me back,
"your lips" he whispered gazing directly at them, "are swollen and red, just as I had imagined them to be they were soft like silk, plump like plums, sweeter than sugar." My lips parted a small gust of air flowing out and directly onto his chin,
"your cheeks-" his eyes lingered for a few more moments on my lips before moving to my cheeks, "are red, tinted with the rush of your blood – the rush caused because of me because of our kiss" I breathed in silently and breathed back out not uttering a single word, not looking him directly in the eyes.
"your eyes…" his hand moved to my chin where he lifted my head and held it there softly his hues gazing into my own before he began "are as blue as the oceans back home in Sweden, so full of life, bursting with colour and passion." I think I gulped but I wasn't too sure – I hadn't even noticed if I were breathing again because at one point I think I wasn't.
"your skin" he whispered his voice just as low, calm, collected and sweet as he began with. "Is so soft and warm, tanned and beautiful, flawless and perfect" he finished quietly before he moved his hand from my chin but took another step until he was up against me his hands pressing flat into the windows of the car.
"I could waken things inside of you Sookie – things you never knew existed" his voice was velvety smooth and hoarse, dripping with the lust that had also claimed his manhood which was now pressing into my stomach. Fuck!
"Eric please don't - I can't" I wasn't even sure what I was saying – what was coming out of my mouth I just needed him to back off and move away because I couldn't think with him so close.
"I'll settle for being your friend but my intentions will be clear is that understood?" I nodded once, "I'm not going to give up just because you're engaged, as far as I see it you're still fair game not married and all. And seeing as what just happened I know he's not right for you…" he moved his lips to my ear pressing them to the lobe before hovering an inch upwards, "but I am" he growled earning a shiver which ran through my body, from the ends of every strand of my hair, to the nails on my toenails.
I placed my hands onto his chest and gave him a little push indicating I wanted my space back – my personal space. Although he didn't move an inch he understood taking a step back so our bodies weren't pressed against each other,
"see what you do to me?" I knew what he meant but I had refused to look down, instead I kept my eyes firmly fixed on his face, until his eyes slid up my body and back to my own eyes. I wasn't going to reward him with an answer.
"I'm going now you've kept me here for long enough, I have things to do" I turned sharply trying to unlock my car but he was back against me, pressing into my back, moulding himself to me.
"I do believe we have a lunch date Ms. Stackhouse" he smirked playfully, a dimple appearing in his left cheek, I sighed,
"another day…" anything to get out of it, to get away, to be able to think with a straight mind,
"nope" he popped the p and gave me another bright smile,
"will you…be good?" I asked hesitantly, wondering if I should have not asked that…
"yes älskare" I raised an eyebrow, what did that mean?
"fine follow me…" I sighed inwardly and he grinned crookedly giving me another sight of that little dimple.
"on the other hand take a rain check, I have something I need to do" he was still pressed up against me, before he reached into my bag and took my phone, I watched him as he placed his BB pin into my list and added himself as a contact. "I will make sure to talk to you later" he leaned closer and pressed his lips to my cheek, before skimming lightly over to my cheeks to my ear,
"you. are. mine" Eric breathed into my ear before I felt his weight shift off of me leaving me standing with weak knees and closed eyes.
