Ch. 22 Love Doctor
Surprisingly it had only taken me about three days to get the studio all fixed up. At the moment I was just putting the broom away and walked in to talk to Ava just as a delivery guy came in. He was probably the same age as Ava, but with short black hair, and dark brown eyes. Honestly he had a good body too and was gorgeous.
As he handed her a small package I couldn't help but hear her giggle and a blush appear on her face. Oh honey, you got it bad, I thought and made my way over as the hottie delivery guy left.
"So who was that?" I asked and waggled my eye brows.
"O-oh David? Yes, that's David." She blushed again and looked down.
I smiled. "Awww you like him! Have you told him?"
Ava's head shot up. "What? No! No I don't!" She paused and sighed, "Is it that obvious?"
"I know what that giggle is, and not to mention your cheeks." I grinned and folded my arms.
"I don't know how to get enough nerve up to tell him." She pouted sadly and looked down at her little package.
"Well I could always teach you some moves to a song that should get his heart pumping." I suggested and nodded towards the dance studio.
"Oh-oh I don't know if I could do such a thing!" She laughed nervously and gulped while staring at the open door to the glossy hard wood floor.
"Oh come on! I could teach you it in two days tops! He'll go crazy!"
Ava contemplated for a second before putting the package down then looked up at me and said, "Ok. Let's do it!"
It was finally the day where Ava was going to show just how down she could get. I couldn't help but grin like a mad dog once David came in.
"Hi David!" I cheerfully said while shaking his huge hand.
"Hi. Do you know where Ava is?" He asked kindly.
"Ava!" I called looking back at the studio door.
"I'm in here!" She called and I looked back to David.
"Found her! She's in the dance studio. Oh you should check out the routine I put together for her! I think you'll find it quite exhilarating!" I said slyly and watched as he made his way to the studio and I closed the door.
I waited till the music was done and then it quiet for just a second before banging and moans sounded.
"That's my cue! Man I'm good, like the love doctor. Shit I am the love doctor!" I joked to myself and yelled 'bye' to Ava as I made my way out the door.
When I made it back home Eric was still sleeping soundly in the gold silk sheets. His bare chest looked as if it was glowing next to the fabric and I trailed my fingers lightly on the silky threads as I walked my way on the outside of the bed to his side.
As I stood in front of him my expression softened. He seemed so still and not of worry. I envied him for it. I wanted to know how he could dream or sleep so quietly. How he could not make one sound of distress, while some nights I have more nightmares than I care to have.
I traced my right pointer finger up his chin to his cheek, around his eyes, down his nose, and around his lips. He was perfection.
Nervously I bent down to his ear and whispered, "I love you." I swore I felt him jerk slightly and jumped out of fear. I placed my hand over my scared heart but soon calmed down.
The sun was going down and I knew he was going to wake up at any second so I quickly bent down and placed a small kiss on his lips before leaving.
I wasn't ready for Eric, not yet. Maybe tomorrow.
The next morning I woke up, put on a pair of cute dark purple yoga pants, a black tank top, and my Nike tennis shoes. Quickly I snagged a yogurt from the fridge, did the hair and makeup, and was off to the studio.
All day I spent making fliers, coming up with prices and times I would be having the dance classes, and adding the final touches to the room. It was all really coming together as I hung up the last dance photo of a group of people doing hip hop in bright colors.
"There! Ahhh this place looks sick!" I squealed in happiness.
After jumping in the air I saw something move from the corner of my eye. Without hesitation I spun around to find Eric.
"So this is where you have been avoiding me." He said and swaggered towards me.
I gulped. So he wasn't an idiot and noticed that I was avoiding him, but I didn't want to tell him that so I lied. "I-I haven't been avoiding you." I stuttered and looked away.
Eric's muscles clung to his green t-shirt as he walked towards me more. Again I became more and more nervous and turned away to walk in a different direction.
What the hell is the matter with me? It's Eric! Don't be such a chicken shit! Face him like a girl!
He was curious, a little irritated, and sad. I could feel it, and it made me stop in place. "Why are you avoiding me Violet?" My vampire asked plainly.
My body felt his eyes burn into me and I turned around. "I-I…you…well you see…" I just couldn't put a damn sentence together and it was getting a lot harder once Eric walked all the way up to me leaving no room between us.
He lifted my chin to look up at him as goose bumps shot up and down my arms like a burning fire. "Violet why are you avoiding me?" His breath lingered on my face and I could taste it on my lips. Suddenly I couldn't help my eyes becoming droopy and my wanting to lean into him.
It's been far too long, I thought and sighed. The next thing I knew it I was spilling my guts to him, "I haven't been myself. Since that night, something has been wrong with me, I've been in this funk. Then I was kind of beginning to be myself and when you gave me the new car- which I love by the way- I wanted to go thank you. Then seeing the girl on you…it just put me back at square one." I sighed in sadness and looked away form him. "So somehow I ended up here at this magic shop cause Ava needed a hand. I looked around and found this room in the back. As you can see it's a dance studio. She is letting me use it with no charge to start it back up again. I fixed it up and now here you are. How did you find me anyway?" I rambled.
Eric looked intently at me and rubbed the outsides of my arms. "I'll always find you." He whispered and brushed a sweet kiss against my forehead. I sighed again and put my hands on his chest.
"Does that mean I'll be able to find you too?" I asked and looked down at the floor.
"In your own way, yes. Now why does it smell like sex in here?" Eric asked me cunningly and grabbed my ass.
I yelped in shock and shoved him back. With my mouth agape he just growled with lust. "Eric Northman!" I exclaimed and stepped back while covering my behind with my hands for protection.
He raised his left eyebrow and smirked in his sexy way. "Yes lover?"
"Oh don't you 'yes lover' me buddy." I lightly scolded and decided to take him head on.
With the courage I could muster, I marched right up to him and poked him in the chest. My face stayed a little hard but I was 'owing' inside cause of my now hurt finger. Man he's hard as a rock!
"That is my butt you know! You can't just grab it or smack it whenever you want! I don't care that you're some beefy, powerful, I-can-kick-your-ass vampire!"
Eric cracked a smile and said, "You're really hot when you're mad. So tell me again why is smells that way in here."
I blinked cause he changed the subject. He was good at doing it. "Oh-uh…Ava really liked this guy and so I showed her a few moves to this song…then before I knew it they got it on." I stated innocently and looked away while I blushed.
This got his attention. "A dance? Show me." He purred and I looked up biting my lip.
"Really? You serious?"
"Yes."
I let out a breath, "Ok. Go sit in the chair."
Eric looked behind him and sat in a chair nine feet from the wall in front of me.
As I scurried to hook up my ipod to the sound system in the corner, Eric relaxed himself in his seat. I couldn't make one step without him staring intently at me.
It made me a little nervous again but I decided to press play on the song. It was called Porn Star Dancing by My Darkest Days. Honestly if you needed to get someone 'in the mood', this song would do the trick.
Kelly won't kiss my friend Cassandra Jessica won't play ball Mandy won't share her friend Miranda Doesn't anybody live at all
His excitement was building and that just added the fuel to my dancing. I turned, twisted, and dropped, sending him over the edge farther and farther and it was only the beginning of the song.
Amanda won't leave me empty handed Got her number from a bathroom stall Brandy just got way too much baggage And that shit just gets old But I got a girl who can put on a show The dollar decides how far you can go
As I wound up on the floor I rolled backwards and kicked my leg in the air and dropped again sending my hips way up. His predator within was becoming harder and harder to contain.
She wraps those hands around that pole She licks those lips and off we go She takes it off nice and slow 'Cause that's porn star dancing
His manly growls were for sure audible now and I didn't know whether to laugh or be scared but I continued anyway.
After a few more verses I couldn't help but kick his chair backwards sending him to the ground. With a mischievous grin Eric tossed the chair and laid on the ground watching me intently still. I smiled seeing I could still drive him crazy.
For my big finish I slid across the floor and placed both my hands on either side of his head, making our faces only an inch apart.
Eric's chest was heaving and before he could do anything I got up. "Well that's it!" I said smug and went to turn off the sound system.
I shouldn't have been surprised to have Eric all over me the next second whispering dirty things into my ear but I was. He was always so sweet and gentle and now he was just down right horny. Oh boy.
Eric's hands traveled all up and down my arms, all over my back, and without his fangs, started to bite my neck. My back arched automatically giving him more of an excuse to go further. Unfortunately my breathing and heart beat wasn't keeping up.
"Gentle." I whispered and Eric stopped to pout at me.
"I haven't had you in so long lover, please." Eric pleaded into my neck and began to bite down a little too hard.
I let out a breath. "I like the gentle you." I admitted and turned away.
There was silence as he let me go but captured my hand in his and brought it up to his lips to place a gentle kiss. "Then gentle I shall be." He stated and I smiled.
"There is one thing we need to talk about though. We need to set a date each month where you have to bite me."
"Let's do it starting today." Eric said eagerly and reached for me.
I let him pull me into his arms and nuzzle my neck. With one swift click I heard his fangs drop and graze my skin. Not just my neck but my ear and down to my collarbone. "O-Ok, but no sex tonight." I stammered lamely.
The frustration was erupting from every fiber of his being. In truth I didn't really like denying Eric but still something from me was missing since that night previous at the counsel. I wanted Eric but my mind wasn't straight.
He must have felt my worry and nerves and stroked my back soothingly. From sensing all my feelings together he too felt more understanding and it set me more at ease just before his excitement was building up again.
"You ready?" My vampire asked and placed a small kiss on my neck while I clutched his arms for dear life.
"Yes." I whispered and without another second Eric's fangs plummeted deep in my neck.
I let out a gasp and listened as my blood drained from my body to inside his mouth. It was a rather weird sound but strangely a calming one too.
Soon I started to go limp and tapped Eric on the chest letting him know I couldn't take it anymore or I was going to pass out. He obliged and licked my wound clean and sealed it.
"God you're intoxicating," Eric breathed hard and kissed me passionately taking my breath away.
Once I needed air I said, "Well I try." And he laughed.
"We need to get away again. I'm thinking my island."
My mouth dropped, "You own an island?"
