The Long Way Home

Chapter 6
As I lay in the safety of Eric's arms I contemplate what the future might hold. The one thing that I did know was that I was no longer alone. Eric would stay by my side until my dying breath no matter what and that was everything that I ever hoped for.
Eric was rubbing small circles on my back and it was soothing.
"How long?' Eric asked.
"How long what?" I replied.
"When I was human I fathered six children. Although in those days the men worked the fields or fought wars. They were not expected to raise the children. When ever I was home I would play games or take them riding, it was very enjoyable" Eric told me and I realized that he knew.
"A little over five months to go" I replied.
"Roll onto your back lover" Eric said and the way he said it sent heat to my core. I did as he asked. Once on my back Eric situated himself between my legs. He lay his head gently on my belly and listened.
"I can hear the heartbeat it's steady and strong. This baby has my blood I can hear it calling to me. Jared was from my bloodline as will this child be. Sookie I want to be father to your baby. I want to help take care of it and I want to protect it. Protect you and love you that's all I ever wanted. Will you let me?" he asked and I could see blood gathering in the corners of his eyes. I was about to answer but there was a knock.
Eric zipped to the door. I heard him and Pam speak and then he was back. He had a box in his hands and he was staring at me.
"Yes" I said.
"I want to blood bond with you Sookie. It will bind us through blood. We will be able to feel each others emotions and we will be able to send them back and forth. You will be able to call me and I you. Above all it is permanent until death in which neither of us would probably survive. If we bond with a ceremonial dagger we will be pledged to each other by vampire marriage. No one will be able to seek you out unless I agree to it. Most important they cannot take you for if they try it is punishable by final death. Will you agree and be my pledged?" Eric asked. I could tell he was nervous, I never knew vamps could get nervous.
"Yes Eric I will be your pledged. Before the last word left my lips I was pulled into his arms and we shared a sweet kiss.
Eric opened the box. Inside it held a sheer pink slip dress that looked like it might just cover my bits, I could feel my cheeks burn just thinking about it. The box also held candles and a smaller gold box. Eric handed me the slip.
"Go put that on lover" he said. I went into the bathroom to wash up and change. I brushed my teeth, hair and put a dab of make up on. I spritz on some perfume and pulled off all my clothes. I put the slip on and I notice how soft it is and how see through it is as well, my cheeks burn red. I opened the door to face my Viking. The room was glowing with candlelit and on the bed sat Eric in all his glory.
He held out his hand and I walked over and took it. He pulled me into the vee of his legs and ran his hands up and down my back giving my ass a squeeze on every down stroke. His gracious plenty was standing at attention in full salute. Eric's hands wandered to the front and squeezed my nipples into hard peeks. I threw my head back and a moan escaped my lips. I could feel his tongue licking the hollow of my throat and I felt my wetness start running down my thighs. I was so turned on and I wanted Eric to speed up but I knew this would be slow sweet torture. Eric started to ruck the slip up and he kissed the skin that was exposed to his gaze. Soon I was naked and on the bed. Eric was sucking and kissing my breasts as his fingers played with my nub.
I ran my hands threw his hair and tugged when my pleasure spiked.
"Watch me lover, keep your eyes on me" Eric crooned and I couldn't look away.
I watched as he sucked my clit into his mouth and bit down with his blunt teeth. I screamed out my pleasure and thrashed on the bed. When Eric licked into my dripping slit I saw stars. I felt one, two fingers gently stretch and probe me and my orgasm started to spiral out of control. Eric licked one last time and bit into my thigh and I lost it.
"Errrric" I screamed as I soared higher than ever before.
"Are you ready lover?" he asked. I could feel his need pressing at my entrance.
"Yes" I answered and Eric was sheathed inside me in one deep thrust. He stilled while he waited for me to adjust. Once the burn was gone and pleasure started to curl up my spine I urged him with my hips to move. We moved together at an easy pace, Eric being gentle and loving. I watched as he reached over onto the nightstand and grabbed the knife. It was beautiful with it's imbedded rubies and diamonds.
"Sookie Stackhouse I choose you as my bonded wife to love and keep safe until final death takes me, this I vow" Eric said.
"Eric Northman I choose you to be my bonded husband to love and cherish until my dying breathe or final death take me, this I vow" I said. Eric looked surprised at the final death part.
Eric fell back onto his heels never losing our connection and pulled me up on to his thighs. Then he made a cut in his chest as I latched on I felt a quick slice and he was drinking. It was like magic on minute there was nothing next I could feel love, trust and lust coming from Eric. I wondered what he could feel from me? I pictured gathering all my love together and sending it to Eric. I felt him lick my wound and then he brought his lips to my ear.
"I love you too" he whispered. Then I felt a huge wave of love followed by lust. It was like the lust broke a dam in me and I pushed Eric onto his back and began to ride his cock. At this angle I felt it all and I could control how far he penetrated it made me feel powerful and sexy. Eric was purring in his pleasure.
When my orgasm finally over took me I was shaking with the strength of it and then collapsed onto Eric trying to calm my breathing. Eric wrapped his arms around me and rolled us over and thrust a couple of times before he to surrendered to his bliss.
As we lay there basking in the afterglow, Eric a comfortable buzz in the back of my mind I started to drift off to sleep. I woke up a little time later to the feeling of wind in my face. I opened my eyes and realized that I was in Eric's arms and we were flying. What the hell? I tightened my arms. I was dressed at least.
"Eric?" I said both tension and question in my voice.
"Relax lover I'm taking you to a safe house that is vampire friendly. Sooner or later they will come for you" he said and a shiver ran through me. Eric held me tighter and kissed my forehead.
"I won't let them take you. You are my pledged and bonded and most of all you are my everything. You and the baby are safe with me" he said tone firm and I could feel his resolve through the bond.
"But my stuff" I said.
"Already taken care of. Pam will meet us there" he said.
I relaxed a little, I knew I was safe in Eric's arms and watched the lights fly by below.
