Ch. Take Me Away
Nothing sexual happened to Eric and I as we got back to his beach house. As soon as we got to our bedroom we were sharing I went to put on my pajama shorts and a tank, went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and face, and at last went to bed. Eric placed a sweet kiss on my forehead and wrapped his arms around me. Something about his touch at that moment felt different. It felt like he was never wanting to let go and a little tense too. Sooner or later I fell asleep to horrific dreams.
All night my nightmares were of Eric, myself, and Sookie. They were always some version of Eric telling me that I wasn't the love of his life. The last one was one of the worst. I was on my hands and knees on a marble floor surrounded by vampires. One in particular I could see three feet in from of me. As I lifted my throbbing and bleeding head, a drop of blood from my lip too fell down to the floor and while I looked up at Eric. His face was stone cold and merciless. No sooner had I looked up at him did he kick me sending me back in pain. I could feel my soul ripping in half while one of my ribs cracked. It seemed like forever that I laid there, and just when I feel like I was done and about to die something in me ignited. A fire of strength and will. Slowly I saw and felt flames surround and become me. I felt indestructible as I stood up. The vampires around me backed off a few feet in fear but Eric looked right at me and let a bloody tear fall.
I woke in a gasp and strained for breath. As I inhaled as much oxygen as I could I looked over and saw Eric sound asleep and peaceful. Something in my gut told me something big was coming and it wasn't going to be good. As I mulled my thoughts over I stroked Eric's cool cheek. It was hard for me to imagine Eric trying to kill me or anything to that extent. It just didn't seem like it could happen.
Slowly I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to freshen up and get changed into some workout sweats and a tank top. As I walked out of the bathroom I put my hair into a pony tail and stopped to put on my Nike tennis shoes and socks before I went to Eric's in home gym. I wondered why Eric had one since he didn't need to work out, but regardless I needed to take my mind off of things and working out was a good way to do so.
The in home gym was equipped with everything you could imagine but I made my way over to the ihome dock and plugged in my ipod before I went over to the punching bag. My ipod was on shuffle and decided to play Fighter by Christina Aguilera. Slowly I wrapped my hands then began to punch. Left. Right. Left. Right. I couldn't stop. All I saw was red as I kicked, back handed, punched, and focused on the bag. It was like all that had been bubbling up inside me was finally getting itself out on the poor punching bag.
A few songs went by and I decided to give the bag a break and head over to the tread mill and go for a run. I worked out for an hour more and then proceeded to go take a shower. I decided to change into a red summer dress with thin straps, flowers on the hem that went down to just above my knees, and kept my hair down. Quickly I made my way out the beach and spent the rest of the day looking for shells, listening to the waves, playing in the sand, and soaking up the sun before Eric would come to find me.
As I sat in the cool sand watching the sun go down I could feel Eric was waking up and was eager to find me. As I waited I watched the waved crash down, pulled my knees to my chest to rest my head on, and sighed thinking about what was going to happen. I'm going to loose my virginity to Eric tonight. I'm going to loose my virginity to Eric tonight. I'm going to loose my virginity to Eric tonight. Over and over it rang in my head and I became nervous. What if I mess up? What if I freeze and don't know what to do? What if he laughs at me for something? Fuck!
A few moments later a big pair of cool arms wrapped themselves around me from behind. Instantly I knew it was Eric and leaned back against his chest.
"How did you sleep?" I asked and kissed him just under his jaw before turning my attention back to the waves.
He sighed and bent down to smell me, "I slept fine. It felt far too long to be away from you though."
I snickered lightly, "It was only a few hours and now you have me."
"Yes I do, but something is troubling you. Tell me." Eric demanded in a soft tone and kissed my shoulders.
"I've just had a lot to think about that's all." I said truthfully and snuggled more into his chest and breathed in his scent. It was intoxicating and made me want to kiss him.
Eric felt my lust and beet me to it by tilting my chin up with his strong cold hands and pressed his luscious lips to mine. In that moment I couldn't think but only feel. A stream Eric's desire and excitement flowed through me sending every fiber of my being into a chaotic symphony of wanting. I wanted him, and I wanted him bad. The reaction Eric could feel through the bond made him smile and brush the side of my face lightly as he looked at every part of face as if it were a masterpiece.
"Eric…" I sighed. There was no going back now as I got his attention.
He looked right into my eyes, "Yes?"
"Take me away. Make me forget about everything and let tonight be about just you and me please." I quietly pleaded and immediately a sense of warmth and compassion swept over me from Eric. He smiled of true adoration and pulled me off the ground and back towards the house.
It was as if time had slowed down while Eric walked me to the bedroom. With one hand he opened the door and I followed him in. We walked to the bed and stood in front of it looking and gently stroking each other here and there. Eric's right hand traveled ghostly up my arm to the thin strap of my dress. I looked up at him and he looked back asking permission with his eyes. I nodded and he brought his lips down to mine while he gently pulled down the strap. My eyes closed and I gulped as Eric moved his lips like feathers down my throat, across my collar bone, and stopping at my bare shoulder. Like a repeat offender his lips placed kiss after kiss all over the skin causing goose bumps to flourish all over me.
He snickered and made his way over to the other side and slid down the other strap. Again he committed his crimes and I couldn't help but bite my lip and hang onto him for dear life. My eyes fluttered open and again Eric was looking down at me with excitement but caution. I could feel he wanted me then and there but he was holding back with everything he had.
I gulped again and closed my eyes for a second. My sense of cool was now faltering and the nerves were kicking in.
Eric took my hands and said, "Just let go and don't think. Feel."
Suddenly I felt embarrassed and he felt it. "I'm sorry I'm kind of new at this." I whispered and bit my bottom lip.
"I know but I'm with you, and I promise I will treat you like the lady you are. Like the love of my life that you are." Eric stated with an amazing amount of truth and intensity.
I let out a breath of joy and wanted to cry. "Say it again."
"I will treat you like a-" He began but I cut in.
"No. The part where you said about the love of your life." I smiled and held back my tear of joy.
Eric smiled wide and placed both hands on either side of my face, "Like the love of my life that you are."
The happiness that sprang in me was uncontrollable and I pulled Eric down to kiss me. He gladly accepted and put all his pent up passion into full gear. As our lips gave each other their appreciation and devotion to one another Eric moved his hands to the back of my dress and slowly unzipped my dress. I helped him take it off me while we still kissed like true lovers and before I knew it I was just in my strapless bra and underwear.
My butterflies were kicking in again but Eric broke the kiss to look down at me and gave a reassuring and loving grin. My breath caught in my throat as he looked at me and his eyes were brighter than ever. Eric bent down and put his arms around my back to unclasp my bra. It dropped to the floor and I immediately out of instinct covered my chest with my arms.
"You're beautiful," Eric said and took my arms so he could lower them, "I've told you before. You don't ever have to hide yourself from me, ever."
I gulped and felt my cheeks flush as I went to Eric's shirt. With little effort I lifted it off of him and soon he was bare chested and looking sexier than ever. My hands couldn't help themselves trail up and down his god-like body and Eric couldn't help but moan and grab my hands. He captured my lips in another breath taking kiss and placed his cool tongue across my lower lip asking for entrance. I obliged and soon a full out war of the tongues took place. I would have liked to say that I won, but then I would be lying.
In one quick swoop I was in Eric's arms and he gently placed me on the bed. A slight shiver ran down my back while he kissed every part of me. From my lips, to my collar bone, down to my chest, past my stomach, behind my knees, and to the top of my feet. My heart was pounding like a sludge hammer and I gripped the satin sheets. Eric could feel my ecstasy and came back up to my face to look at me. The grin of a court jester played across his timeless features. He was enjoying sending me to the edge, and hell I loved it.
Delicately his hands trailed down my thighs to my panties and removed them. My head fell back and my eyed closed as he inserted two fingers in me. He started with a steady rhythm but soon he went faster and I cried out his name as my body erupted in shocks and heat. He watched as I came down from my high and continued to ravish and roam my body with his hands and lips. I couldn't help but moan his name again and again. He knew how to show a woman how her body should be loved and there was no other place in the world I would have rather been than right there with Eric.
It soon came to the moment of all moments. Eric removed his pants and looked me right in my eyes as he parted my legs and I couldn't help but look down past his waist. He was, I was very sure, not of the regular size. It made me nervous. I wanted to ask if I was going to hurt badly but I couldn't get the words out of my parted lips. Eric knew what I was going to ask and answered my question, "Only for a moment, not long, I promise." And kissed me on the forehead.
I nodded my head still nervous and felt him at my virtuous entrance. No longer was I going to be pure. I was going to let my vampire soul mate take me in order to save my life and I was scared shitless. Just take care of me. Slowly Eric entered me while gripping my hips but not too tight. It was highly uncomfortable at first and a few tears escaped my eyes. I couldn't see Eric because I shut my eyes as I tried to adjust to the pain. He tried to comfort me while whispering comforting words to my ear.
The pain started to ease and was soon replaced by pleasure, desire, and love. Eric moved slowly in and out of me. It felt incredible and I gripped his shoulders digging my nails in causing him to growl in pleasure. He went faster and faster and we were both soon drenched in sweat and crying out each other's names while our actions hit an all time high. Both of our orgasms hit and I fell back while Eric laid on top of me. We were both shaking in happiness as our release slowed and our breathing was coming back to normal. Not that Eric needed to breath, but he looked like he needed it.
I was still slightly catching my breath as Eric pulled me into his arms. I looked at his glistening chest and trailed my eyes up to his face. He looked peaceful and I traced my fingers over his lips to the side of his face. Eric placed his hand over mine and bewitched me with his eyes.
"I love you." I whispered.
Eric's smiled at me with the love girls only dream about. "I love you."
(Third person P.O.V.)
Sookie lay next to Bill asleep at his house. Within a second she jolted awake. Something was wrong, she could feel it. Something was different and not good. She realized she didn't dream of Eric that night and she felt slightly empty. Soon she realized what was wrong and began to panic.
"It's broken!" She lightly yelled to herself and Bill woke up from her fright.
"Sookie what's wrong?" He asked frantic and took her into his arms.
"N-nothing." She stuttered and removed Bill's arms from her, turned around and laid back down.
Bill could sense Sookie was upset about something but couldn't put his finger on it and didn't want to push her at the moment about it if she didn't want to tell him. Sookie too knew that Bill would be able to feel her emotions and quietly let her tears fall as she realized what had happened. Eric was no longer apart of her. The bond between them was broken and there was nothing she could do about it.
