Sookie's POV
Pam and I ordered everything we thought would be needed to upgrade the donor quarters with kitchenettes, security equipment, office supplies, and even set up an appointment for Dr. Ludwig to visit the donors. We were rounding the corner of the hall on our way back to Eric's office when I felt his extreme anger. Pam felt it too and we rushed to his office door. He is with someone, attempting not to lose his shit!
I decide now is better than any time to use the power of love. I turn and kiss Pam for that blushed just kissed look, for the surprise I knew I would see on Pam's face, and for the distraction Eric needed from his current situation. I know the door was closed but he felt the brushing of our lips through the bonds he shared with each of us. I knock on the door and do not wait for a reply.
I sway into his office not stopping to acknowledge his guest and walk to his side and place a kiss on the side of his face "Please do not let me interrupt, lover. I will wait to have my time with you until you are finished with your very important business." I take a few steps to stand behind him. He grabs my wrist and pulls me down into his lap and nuzzles into me.
"My pretty fairy, our guest here is Victor Madden of Nevada. Victor this is my bonded Sookie."
"An absolute pleasure to meet you. You are quite a lovely creature." Victor schmoozes.
"Why thank you Mr. Madden."
I settle into Eric's chest and side content as a cat to be on his lap. Eric and Victor continue their discussion, less heatedly due to my presence.
"Where were we? Oh yes, I do not know where Compton is. He came to Fangtasia a few nights ago. He was rude really. He had no appointment, he had not checked in, and when I go to Shreveport I do so for very specific purposes, not to deal with the menial task of a vampire checking into my area. I told him as much when he attempted to waste my time. To my knowledge he has still failed to ever officially check-in."
"Eric, I am just saying that you are the last vampire he had contact with and it is prudent of me in my investigation to ask as many questions as I can. Do you have any ideas on his where about?"
"The last I was aware his maker Lorena Pracksiki, resided in Seattle and Compton resided in Mississippi. Why exactly are you investigating a missing vampire from Mississippi?"
"Mr. Compton had been working on a project for King De Castro. Compton had proper authorization as far as I know to be doing such work."
"Just who grants the authority to claim fealty to three kings?"
"Did William Compton swear his fealty to you?"
"He did but as I said he was very irritating and I told him he would have to go through proper channels to register in my area."
"So you keep saying."
Victor's head swirled with all sorts of twisted plots. His mind wanted the truth of this situation. It is his greatest desire at the moment and Eric did not command me to not respond to thoughts yet.
"It is as he says, I was there. Would you like to see?"
Be calm, Eric, you will like the results.
"What do you mean, see?"
"I mean, would you like to see a recording of what took place?"
"That would clear up this whole mess."
I move forward on Eric's lap. "What is the phone number at Fangtasia lover?"
"It is 263-159-4780"
I dial Fangtasia and ask for Felicia. From what I gathered, the little time we spent there, Felicia ran the bar.
"His majesty, how may I serve you?" I giggle at Felicia's manner.
"No need for the formalities, dear Felicia. It is Sookie, the King's bonded. I need you to e-mail the security footage from our meeting with Mr. William Compton the other evening to his majesty. Promptly please, it seems the footage may settle a dispute."
"It will be done immediately and my lady….I regret not having the opportunity to meet you when you were in. I have heard that you are going to be a remarkable queen."
"Oh Felicia, that is so kind. Thank you. I will be sure to let you know in advance the next time I will be in Shreveport so that we may have the opportunity to get to know each other. Maybe we can form a girl's night out and invite some of the other ladies. I really have not had the chance to socialize, it would be nice to relax and have fun with my new family. Well I better get the computer ready for the video projector. Good evening Felicia and thank you again."
"Good evening to you majesty." Felicia replied with respect in her voice.
"Alrighty then. Let me just go to the media room and get the projector. We can just use this wall of the office here." I am looking around the office and haphazardly moving crap out of my way. After I have the wall clear I walk out of the office and go to the media room. I easily locate a laptop capable of projecting and return to the office. I do not speak to either man while I set up the computer. Victor and Eric remain quiet. Probably silenced by their own stupidity that neither thought of this. Victor would not want to see proof of Eric's innocence and Eric knows the footage will show his guilt. Which is really why this is perfect. I will allow them to view part of the footage then I will just slip into Victor's mind and change his perception of it. I cannot change Eric's so I will just have to warn him.
Victor will not see what you see, just relax.
"Okay, here we go." I open the video file that Felicia sent and fast forward to Compton's entrance and press play. I turn the computer so the camera can project on the wall. The video shows Victor: Compton interrupting our make-out session. Speaking to Eric cryptically about locating a beautiful man in his territory, Eric telling Bill that he should be going through proper channels instead of wasting Eric's time, Bill swearing fealty, Eric accepting but still ordering Bill to register with the sheriff of area five, and finally Bill leaving huffy. Victor sighed after I stopped the video. Eric was barely holding his jaw shut, since he saw the real versions of the events on the wall.
"I am sorry to have wasted your time. My king was most insistent that I return with Mr. Compton. You were the only lead I had. Thank you for your hospitality. It was nice to meet you Sookie and thank you for your easy solution in this complicated situation."
Eric allowed him to retreat from the office. Eric sat quiet and still in his oversized chair for a few minutes after Victor left. "Sookie, my pretty fairy, what did you do? How did you do that?"
"Telepathy. Victor's mind is weak. I sensed it before I made that suggestion. I knew that I would be easily able to change his perception of what he viewed. I figured it would end your discussion if Victor saw proof of Bill's departure and I verified your story."
"You are truly made to be my queen, lover, and though I am impressed with your cunning I cannot allow you to continue to disobey me. You will not speak to any vampire that I have not already introduced you to and given you permission to speak freely with. This is not to demean you but to protect you. You are too good to be talking to most vampires anyway!" His voice rose at the end and his grip on me tightened.
I was lost in his kiss; so lost that I did not realize we were in the black room again. Our bodies were passionately exploring each other as Eric held me close. I lifted my arms to shimmy out of my dress and found myself trapped once again. This time I was turned to face the wall.
"My pretty fairy, you are far too great a treasure to allow you to be sullied by contact with treacherous vampires. Since you do not know about my world yet, you must trust my judgment. Also, I already warned you about speaking before being spoken to; it will draw less attention to you. I had hoped that my reminder about it would have helped but you chose to ignore it. You brought as much attention as possible to yourself with your entrance into my office. Let us hope that your punishment reminds you better."
I whimpered at his words afraid to feel pain especially at his hand. I felt Eric's soft fingertip glide down my back and rub across the curve of my ass. "Shh my fairy. You are mine and you will always take what I give you; including your punishments. While I am turning your gorgeous ass into the perfect shade of red I want you to feel how hard your nipples get as they pressed into the cold hard marble. What else do you want to press into something cold and hard?" SMACK. I jumped at the sensation and inadvertently pressed my chest into the marble further and my ass up and yelped. SMACK, SMACK. Oh, ouch. Does he really think he can….SMACK, SMACK. Ahh, it stings. SMACK, SMACK. "Do you feel that my pretty fairy, your anger, your disbelief that I could lay hands on you? Good because that it how I feel when you disobey me! I have not lived 1000 years and I am not a king because I allowed a pretty woman to disregard my instructions!" SMACK, SMACK, SMACK. "You want to be safe but you act blindly in situations you are not experienced in." SMACK, SMACK. "Victor now knows I value you more than a bonded to have allowed you to walk into our meeting and take over. While effective at getting rid of him for now, he will only be drawn to investigate you later." SMACK, SMACK. Oh? I know, he is right; I just wanted to help and show Eric how clever I can be. I start sobbing and Eric starts rubbing my ass.
"Shsshh….Shhhshh. That is right my fairy you understand now don't you." He continues to rub my ass as he speaks softly and soothingly but his hands wonders lower and his fingers find my very wet core.
I gasp at the surprise and my body tenses.
"Answer me lover. You understand now don't you?"
Ahh, his fingers start sliding through my swollen lips to circle my sweet throbbing clit. "Yes." I barely manage.
"Good. Tell me who you belong to, tell me what you have learned, tell me how much you want this….."
His long nimble fingers are pushing into and out of me, my nipples are hard peaks pressed into the unyielding cold, and I have my hands pressed against the wall so that I may push against Eric's talented hand.
He removes his hand and smacks my tender ass once. Ahhh. "Answer me my pretty fairy."
"You… I belong to you" My core begins to throb, so close "I will not speak to them unless you introduce me to them and allow me to speak freely, and I will only respond to their voices! I will not interrupt. I will be quite in the presence of strange vampires! I will not draw attention to myself!" My body arches, one more hard thrust of his fingers, yes that is it "So good…..please…. more…..don't stop….yes,yes!" I spray my release all over his hand and down my leg. I am trembling and my knees are weak; I sag against the wall.
"We are not done yet my lover." I feel him lifting my hips from behind about the same time I feel him fill my tight ass. I scream at the intrusion. My emotions are swirling. Pain, then pleasure, and now more pain; I don't think I can do this….
His fingers find my swollen pearl and pinch. AHHHH. My body arches again lost in the feeling of another orgasm, I see only bright lights and hear Eric yell in some foreign language. My body ceases shaking and I fall back into myself. My mind is lost to bliss and dreams.
