Chapter 35: First Flight –Mark Isham

Eric

Eric guided Sookie through the cemetery towards Bill. She seemed to stumble over the uneven ground, especially in the ridiculously high heels that Pam had put her in.

He ended up crouching in front of her and carrying her on his back across the cemetery. She nuzzled the back of his neck, placing small kissed there. He smiled as he walked and he noticed more than once Pam looking at them in confusion and even annoyance.

When they reached Bill's the other sheriffs and their guests were waiting on the front porch with Bill. Bill looked extremely annoyed and Eric smirked as he lowered Sookie to her feet. She readjusted her clothing that had ridden up behind his back and then emerged, immediately slipping her hand in his, standing close.

"Eric, you are late. I think I specifically said 9:00 pm. We should get going. Where is your luggage?" Bill asked, confused. Eric did notice his glance between Eric and Sookie.

"We have sent the luggage ahead. It will be there when we get there," he said in a bored tone.

Bill nodded and motioned toward the cars waiting for them. Eric pulled her toward the first car and climbed in. Pam was already sliding in the front seat and Eric was happy Sookie and he would have the backseat alone.

Sookie busied herself with the seatbelt, so she didn't notice Eric slide closer to her. When he began nibbling on her earlobe she jumped but then let out a short laugh. She closed her eyes, enjoying him kissing her neck and massaging her breasts and playing with her nipples slightly.

Suddenly Sookie's door opened and Bill was there. She jumped so high she almost hit her head on the roof of the car and gasped loudly. "It seems I will need to ride in this car," he said, almost mischievously.

Eric pulled Sookie toward him, so that Bill could climb in next to Sookie. Sookie was practically plastered to Eric's side. If she could be in his lap and in a seatbelt at the same time, she would be. Eric sent waves of calm through to her as he sensed her unease and fury at being so close to Bill.

She looked up to him and gave Eric a small smile and he leaned down and kissed her forehead and nose. "Well this is cozy, isn't it?" Bill said sarcastically.

Eric and Sookie shot him a look and Bill smirked and looked out the window as they drove down the drive and onto Hummingbird Road.

Bill turned to Sookie and asked, "Sookie how have you been? I must apologize for neglecting m neighborly duties. I have been quite busy, but Jessica and I have discussed taking some time off together to travel. I know you always said you wanted to go to Paris with me, still interested?"

Sookie shot him a look of absolute disgust and turned her face to look out Eric's window, and Pam said, "I guess you will have to inebriate some other poor French whore with your shit-poor blood, Bill," Pam said.

Eric smirked in Pam's direction even though Bill growled and Sookie felt shame. Eric rubbed her back and looked her in the eyes to make sure she was alright. She nodded and flicked her eyes once in Bill's direction to show what her frustration was.

"It's curious that you came here only to drive back to Shreveport," Bill commented. Eric glanced at him, hoping he would just shut the fuck up. It was bad enough he wasn't in the middle of some heavy petting with Sookie at this moment, and it was all because of Bill.

"My child and I stayed here with my bonded last night."

He could sense Sookie's amusement at the amount of pride he took in announcing Sookie as his bonded. She shot him a look and he looked down at her giving her a small smile.

Bill looked disgusted and turned back to the window. He then grabbed his phone out and Eric hoped this was the end of Bill's attempt at getting on their last damn nerve.

Sookie leaned her head against Eric's shoulder and closed her eyes. He felt her breathing even out slightly. Dozing is what Pam called it. It had been so long since he had experienced it, he had forgotten. But he believed it was when they were resting, but not sleeping.

Sookie would randomly open her eyes and looked up at Eric, then snuggle closer and put her head back down and Eric would often rub his cheek against her hair so her scent was even stronger on him than usual.

Sookie already smelled strongly of him with his blood in her. Pam also informed him that he smelled strongly of Sookie even after bathing. They were infected with each other's blood and scent.

They finally arrived in Shreveport and Sookie sat up and looked out the window. The driver pulled their SUV up to the terminal they would need and Eric got out and turned to help Sookie out. Eric guided Sookie to where Bill and his guards were leading them, which was a private plane terminal.

Pam was standing on the other side of Sookie. As they walked by the people who were flying commercially, Sookie glanced back and said, "They are looking at you thinking how stylish and glamorous y'all look goin' into the private jet terminal."

Eric chuckled and glanced their way and saw many men and even some women eyeing Sookie with interest. He looked back down into her face and then checked the bond. There was no evidence she heard it. "They think it of you too, my dear."

She shook her head, "No, they are wondering why I am with you, but that is about it."

"How delightfully modest you are, Sookie. If any of these men even so much as twitched towards you I would end them."

She smiled up at him and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they walked the rest of the way to the plane.

Eric escorted Pam and Sookie to the stairs leading to the plane. They were the last ones on so Eric motioned for the crew to shut the door behind him.

Eric noticed that the only seats available were once again located near Bill and Eric grit his teeth. Sookie led Eric to the seats across the aisle from Bill and placed Eric between Bill and her this time. She buckled her seatbelt and Eric looked to Pam, who was sitting next to one of the other sheriffs.

She nodded once and fell easily back into conversation with the small sheriff from area one. Eric focused back on Sookie and found she was leaning her head back with her eyes closed. She had a small smile on her lovely lips and Eric leaned forward and pecked them softly, which caused her to open her eyes and smile widely.

Sookie said, "I am nervous, but I am trying to go to my happy place."

He lifted an eyebrow, "Am I in your happy place?"

She nodded and whispered, "In my happy place, my fingernails are imbedded in your delicious ass and back as you pound into me. I am on the softest sheets, but you have been fucking me for so long, they are starting to get sweaty and damp. And so you then, while still buried inside of me, carry me to the bath and we make slow, slippery love in the tub until the water turns cold."

Eric's fangs practically jump out of his gums and his erection is noticeable. He clears his throat and replies, "Funny, our happy places are the same. Perhaps we really are meant to be together."

Sookie chuckled and pulled Eric's face down to hers and kissed him thoroughly. She pulls away when the flight attendant starts speaking over the intercom and Eric is dizzy with his lust for Sookie.

As she listens to the flight attendant give her spiel about safety and 'in case of an emergency' scenarios, Eric sees that she looks out of breath from their kiss and her chest is heaving, attempting to replenish her oxygen. Her lips are swollen and her hair now has some fly-aways.

He looks around and notices all of the other vampires have their fangs down, including Pam, and staring at Sookie the same way he must have been. Eric growls low and eyes each of the vampires. They all plaster expressions of boredom once more, except Bill who looks like he is about to attack Sookie.

Eric flashes his fangs at Bill and he is rewarded with Bill snapping his fangs back in place and looking to the attendant once more. That's it, he decides, Sookie and I are taking our own plane home so I can fuck her as much as I want.

Sookie looked to Eric and noticed he still had his fangs out and she blushed slightly and turned back to listen to the flight attendant who is wrapping up her talk. She points to the lights indicating that there was no smoking, cell phone use, and seatbelts had to be on.

Sookie slid her hand in his as she felt the engine of the plane thrum with life. She inhaled raggedly and he felt her anxiety and fear keenly. He rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand and said, "Breathe, lover. Even if we do crash, I will rip a hole in the side of the plane and fly you, Pam, and myself to safety."

She slapped his shoulder lightly, but couldn't help but laugh.

As they sped down the runway, her hand gripped his so hard, he was sure his fingers would snap if he wasn't human. She apologized and he simply smiled and raised their two conjoined white-knuckled hands to his lips and kissed hers softly. "You're fine, love."

She began calming down when she felt his calm and protectiveness flood her senses. Her breathing evened and she relaxed all the tense muscles in her body. Except a few, Eric noticed as her arousal hit him. She looked at him with hooded eyes and he whispered, "You have no idea how difficult it is not to fuck you in front of these vampires, Sookie. You are truly testing my restraint."

She smiled softly and closed her eyes, "Then I think it's best I get some rest. Wake me when we are almost there."

Sookie smiled as Eric pursed his lips and nodded, clearly frustrated.

Sookie leaned her head against him once more and closed her eyes as she snuggled up to him. He motioned over for a flight attendant and said, "I would like a pillow and blanket for her, please."

The flight attendant nodded with a smile that told Eric she was jealous of Sookie and moved to get her a couple of blankets and a pillow. Eric arranged Sookie under the blankets and pillows and kissed the top of her head. He closed his own eyes and rested with her, trying to calm his arousal. This was the longest he had gone without Sookie. It was the longest he would go, he vowed to himself.

As Eric and Sookie rested, Eric thought over all the dangers that this Summit could pose to himself and Sookie. He had so many contingency plans in place, but he hoped he wouldn't have to put any of them to use.

He inhaled the scent of Sookie's shampoo, letting it calm and sooth him. When they were about an hour away, Sookie woke and stretched, blinking her eyes against the lights that were on. She unbuckled her seat belt and said, "I have to use the restroom, Eric."

He nodded and got up and let her out, sitting back down as she made her way to the back of the plane. All the vampires were in down time and Eric noticed all of Bill's guards were napping. Eric slipped out of his seat and zipped to the back of the plane and as Sookie rinsed her hands, he opened the door.

She began fumbling for the towels, saying, "Sorry, I was just..." but broke off when she saw it was Eric. He barely fit in the tight enclosed space with her, but he would make it work. He rubbed his hard on against Sookie's ass and she moaned, saying, "Eric, there is no way we are doin' this. I can't."

He shushed her and unbuttoned her jeans. He looked at her reflection in the mirror and held her gaze there as he slipped his hand down into her underwear and tickled his fingers along her folds. She unconsciously moved against his fingers and he smiled at her as she closed her eyes. He began working her clit furiously. He needed this to be fast since they didn't have much time.

Sookie was holding onto the sink as if her life depended on it and she was writhing against his hand. Eric slipped one finger inside of her and she yipped loudly. Eric placed his lips close to her ear and whispered, "You can be loud Sookie. Actually I prefer it that way."

She shook her head and shivered as he kissed her neck, his fingers going into overdrive to get her to the brink. His cock was on the precipice and was literally pulsating into Sookie's ass.

He couldn't handle it anymore and he pulled her jeans down past her ass and bent her over. He kept his fingers of one hand working her like mad as he released himself. She knew what was coming and she was looking at him in the reflection ready for him to do it.

He looked into her eyes as he thrust into her in one hard stroke and she literally squeaked loudly. She grabbed his wrist and bit down to quell her sounds, but it only caused Eric to bark out in pleasure and growl as he thrust harder into her. She pushed herself against him as she was nearing completion with him.

It only took seven hard and deep thrusts before both of them fell over the edge. Eric couldn't help biting into Sookie's neck and they both had second climaxes from that alone. As Eric fed from Sookie, she bit into the wrist and drank with him, causing him to harden inside of her one more time. Sookie was completely relaxed as she fed and was making small noises against his wrist as he pummeled into her.

He quivered and bit his lip as he felt his testicles constrict and his cock release into her one last time. He licked her neck to seal the wounds and she released his wrist, and licked it to clean the blood away. He pulled out of her gently and she whimpered lightly.

He grabbed a wet paper towel and cleaned her up as best he could and pulled up her pants and zipped them up, then did the same to his own. He kissed the fang marks and said, "Thank you, I really needed that."

She blushed and turned around to face him and said, "I guess you can count me in as a member of the mile high…. Oh my God, there are vampires out there! Cheese and rice, I can't go out there. They definitely heard you makin' all that noise."

"Ummm, me? You were the one panting and squeaking the entire time. Then you bit me!" he said defensively.

She gave him an exasperated smirk and said, "Eric, I am not gonna go out there. They will look at me funny!"

"So you want to stay in here with me? I think that will make it a bumpy landing, but that could be to our advantage if you want to make it interesting."

"Eric!" she said "You are not helpin' here!"

He chuckled and began to speak when there was a knock on the door. Sookie looked at Eric in horror and he smiled, "Yes?" he called out.

"Sir, we are landing soon and everyone needs to be seated with their seatbelts on as we begin our descent," the flight attendant said in a clipped voice.

"One moment," Eric said. Sookie leaned her forehead against his chest in complete mortification and said, "Well they all know, even the flight attendant. I hope you are happy!" she said.

"I am. Very, very satisfied with the plane utilities. Now I wish I had checked the survey differently," he said in mock regret.

Sookie reached around him and opened the door. He pulled her out with him and before she was able to pass him, he kissed her roughly in front of the waiting flight attendant, who gasped in shock.

Sookie straightened her clothes and as they walked up the aisle, every vampire and human had their eyes on them, the vampires inhaling deeply. Sookie flushed bright red and Eric was smug. "Enjoy the in-flight entertainment everyone?" he asked.

Sookie smacked him and Pam laughed loudly.

So, was it a good flight?
