Chapter 2
Green-Eyed Monster
EPOV
Following our tie has led me to Ludwig's Hospital. I shouldn't have been surprised that Sookie wanted to check on her guard before she visited me. Thanks to the infusion of my blood, Arim was almost completely healed by now, but watching the whole process was far from pleasant. I was at Ludwig's clinic a few times to donate my blood although I never bothered to visit Sookie's guard. According to Preston, who was visiting his friend frequently, Ludwig was forced to remove almost all of the skin from Arim's body and grow it back. I hope he was deeply sedated during the process.
I walked into the lobby and nodded to the nurse standing behind the check in desk.
"Excuse me!" she exclaimed suddenly and she jogged over to me waving her hands like a crazy person. Her name was Annabelle and she was some kind of a demon. We had gotten into a brief conversation those two or three times when I had been donating my blood for Arim. She seemed to be rather friendly, something I would never suspect anyone on Ludwig's staff to be.
"Yes?" I raised my eyebrow at her panicked expression.
"Um, Sheriff… You cannot just walk in," she mumbled, flexing her fingers.
"Why not?" I asked, slightly annoyed. Previously there had been no problem with my visiting anyone there.
"Well," she nodded her head in the direction of the elevator and I frowned. There were two elves with full combat equipment hanging on them standing there. Just like Elmond, that elf I had once met, they were equally terrifying and fascinating. Their unhealthily skinny forms were covered in leather armor, their long pointed ears visible within their intricately braided hair and of course, their long teeth. I had met an elf once before; they weren't believed to be extinct like fairies but no one was eager to meet them and learn more about their kind. They were all nasty fucks.
I suddenly realized that they were here because my Sookie was here. I was very pleased that she had taken some guards with her and even more so because her guards were so dangerous and devoted.
"Is there a chance to bypass them?" I asked Annabelle, flashing her one of my famous smirks.
She rocked on her heels for a moment and began shaking her head. "Nah, there's more of them. They're standing everywhere at every exit leading upstairs and if you are not a patient or a doctor or a nurse…"
"Yes, I got the drill…" I murmured. Sookie was somewhere upstairs, I was able to sense her there. I looked at the elves and one of them glared at me looking quite hostile. I could walk up to them and request them to let me in. That, knowing how vile these creatures can be, would no doubt lead to some scuffles and I was in no mood to get into a fight.
"I will wait with you Annabelle. That is, if you will allow me," I said to her and she smiled broadly. "Tell me, whom are they escorting?" I asked in a chatty like way while I accompanied her back to her station where I casually leaned on a table.
"Oh," She moved closer to me, her eyes wide with excitement."I think it's some important fairy."
"Female?"
"And a male," she added in a whisper. "And what a man!"
I frowned. Surely she didn't mean Evan. There was nothing interesting in elder fae. Something very unpleasant in me started to build at the possibility that some other fairy was escorting Sookie. I was left with the impression that Sookie will be closed in some… solitude with only Evan as her companion. Well, how stupid was my thinking then? No one had said a word about it and for some reason I just stuck with this frame of mind. Sookie was dangerous with her powers uncontrolled but she wasn't a wild animal to be kept in a cage.
The feeling was getting stronger and this made me more and more worried.
What could I say about our relationship in the first place? For how long have we known each other? A week? A week where we had sex a few times, went on one date and faced a lot of obstacles in the meantime. She shot me with her light twice. True that once it was after that heated speech when she informed me that we were partners and we will stay together to face our enemies. Her speech had been very meaningful that time.
But that had been three weeks ago. For me. Sookie had been gone for almost eight months in her sense of time. Eight months is a heck of a long time for a young passionate woman like her. And she had been very passionate and eager during our lovemaking. I reminded myself that Sookie was a modest Southern belle but who knows what her fairy side revealed? Maybe her modesty and timidity had been long forgotten? I was the one who had made a promise of fidelity but she had been out cold at the time. We were not bonded, we weren't in something that could be called by human standards a 'serious relationship'.
Suddenly, the idea of storming between the elves and running upstairs to demand some answers, didn't sound so bad. My imagination was frantic right now. It was obvious that she had found herself a nice fairy male. Why wouldn't she? She was a fae. It was nothing but natural for her to have a fae lover
Our relationship was intense but brief. We don't really know each other.
In Odin's name… That's why Niall was going around bragging about me and Sookie. Fucking fae. Surely he knew that his granddaughter had find herself another man. What was his play? To humiliate me? What for? Because he was a son of a bitch who loves to play with others? Show me my place which is lower than hers?
I told Godric that this old fucker cannot be trusted in the slightest. Clearly all fairies are deceptive and lying…
"Eric?"
My musings were suddenly interrupted when I heard Sookie's voice. I raised my head and I would have surely lost my breath if I had breathed.
Sookie was getting out of the elevator and I was struck by how she had changed physically. Little things were creating a completely different picture. Her hair was much longer and more curly than I remembered and her warm brown eyes had become icily cold. Only by color, though. She was watching me with a burning expression, her lips slightly parted. My Sookie looked dazed. She was as petite and delicate as before. Maybe even more so because I'm sure she had lost some of her weight which wasn't to my liking. Her curves were beautiful. We could easily fix it though by taking her out for a few hearty dinners. I just have to make sure our lovemaking later on will be slow and gentle; otherwise she will burn up all her calories. I let my eyes wander over her form for a moment, taking in her choice of clothing. She was wearing a slightly sparkling blue dress which definitely fit a fairy princess.
She would be a picture of absolute perfection if not for a tall slim fae male standing right beside her. Annabelle was right in saying he was handsome. I measured him critically from head to toes. I didn't know his name but I hated him already. Deeply and profoundly. More so because he had his hand on the small of Sookie's back. I realized that Preston wasn't half bad himself but I would probably have had no problems with him standing in such close proximity to Sookie. Preston was honorable and this little foppish worm was bothering me.
I was trying to control myself but I wasn't able to hold my fangs any longer. I snapped them at the fairy asshole and instantly I was surrounded by a small army of elves.
"Os ydych yn gwybod bod fampir?" asked one of the elves, reaching for his sword and standing beside Sookie. The sight of him taking out a weapon made me realize that, instead of acting silly because some man was touching Sookie, I should concentrate on more important matters. Like the fact that there were almost a dozen elves in the lobby, all of them watching me like a potential threat.
"Yes, I know this vampire," Sookie answered smoothly and she waved her hand dismissively. She looked me right in the eyes and I felt a hot wave spreading all over my body. It was a look of pure lust. "Sheriff Eric Northman is allowed beside me whenever he wants. Even with his fangs down." I got slightly hard at her admission. "You are dismissed," she told them in a commanding tone and I got even harder. I have never heard Sookie speaking to anyone in such a manner. Hopefully Evan had not only taught her some control, but also showed her how a fairy princess should act.
"I will be waiting at our place," said the mysterious male fae and my excitement disappeared completely. Our place? Over my finally dead body…
Sookie had noticed something on my face before I cleared it of all emotions because she frowned. Slowly, almost sensually, a small smile appeared on her lips.
"First, you should allow me to introduce you to Eric. Fae really need to work on their manners," she snickered. "Eric, please meet my cousin, Claude." She emphasized the word 'cousin' and raised her eyebrow at me.
Little minx. Her fucking cousin.
"It's so nice to meet you." The fae nodded stiffly to me and I nodded back. "I will go," he added hurriedly, bowing his head gently in Sookie's direction. I watched him walking outside alongside the other elves and the tension in the air disappeared.
"It's good to see you, lover," I told her, taking a few steps closer.
"I'm sorry that I didn't come to you in the first place but I had to check on Arim," she explained softly and I only growled my approval. I was right beside her and I allowed my fingers to brush her arm. I was instantly rewarded with a soft gasp coming from her mouth. I leaned closer to her, letting my other hand sweep over her back and I yanked her closer to me. My little fairy giggled when she was pushed into my chest. I had missed her smile horribly.
"I'm not mad," I assured her.
"Thank you for giving him your blood. I know it's important to vampire…"
"Don't even mention it."
"I have to…" Sookie stood up on her toes and kissed my cheek gently. "I feel obligated. Some serious thanks are in order."
"Oh really?" I toyed with her. the gentle kiss she gave my cheek was literally burning me. I wanted to feel such a burn all over my body.
"Yeah…" She bit down on her lower lip. "Maybe some financial recompense?" she suggested and I felt her small hand sliding over my back and ending into to my back pocket. She shamelessly squeezed my buttocks. Clearly, Sookie's timidity was gone. I didn't mind it as long as she was bold with me and only with me.
"I would rather take a payment in blood," I told her, surprised by how hoarse my voice sounded. I leaned closer and nibbled at her neck with my blunt teeth. She smelled amazing. Her fae scent was getting more and more potent and I hoped that I would be able to gain more control. I didn't want to hurt her.
When my tongue licked gently over a pulsing vein on her neck, Sookie's head turned aside and I had to use all my control to not bite her right away.
"It's so beautiful." I heard a dreamy sigh and both me and Sookie turned to the receptionist's desk. Annabelle was propping up her head on a hand and watching us with wide eyes and a gentle smile.
"Thank you," I told her dryly. "You broke a charm," I scolded her. The nurse shrugged a little and gave us an innocent smile.
"Maybe it was for the best," Sookie told us and I glanced at her. Seriously? "You know," she moved closer to my ear. "I can't just drop on my knees before you while she's watching. I did get bold, but I'm not completely shameless."
Her soft whisper and a whoosh of air travelled right from my ear down to my cock. I gulped and turned to Annabelle. "Have a nice day," I told her stiffly, having all the intentions to vamp with Sookie outside before either of the women could get an opportunity to react.
Sookie had a different idea though. Before I got a chance to move, I'd had an unpleasant feeling in my stomach which I recognized as the sensation that was related to teleportation. My back hit a hard surface suddenly and it would have left me breathless if I had to breathe.
"Oh sorry!" I heard Sookie's slightly panicked voice. She was laying across my chest, her thighs on both sides of me. I instantly forgot about a bumpy touchdown. "I have some problems with making a good landing still. Are you OK?"
I opened my eyes and looked at my woman and all around us. We were lying next to the big creamy bed. Perfect localization for what I had in mind. We were in a room I didn't recognize.
"Where are we, lover?" I asked, moving my hands over her thighs and closing them around her round butt. Sookie gulped and a string of arousal broke through our tie.
"Hotel," she told me breathlessly and moved closer to my lips. There was a mischievous sparks in her eyes. "I have been planning this," she added quietly and I had had enough of her teasing me.
I hadn't been with a woman for three weeks. I hadn't been inside Sookie for three weeks and it had been pure torture.
I rolled us onto the floor, assaulting her with a hard and desperate kiss. She tasted amazing and she was responding to me with such a pure passion and so eagerly that I was dreaming of nothing else but to rip that dress off of her and feel her around me.
"Eric…" she moaned and curved her body to get closer to me. I was instantly enchanted by her soft and warm body. "I missed you…" I heard when I was trailing open mouthed kisses over her neck and cleavage. "I want to feel you…"
Her words were my undoing. And her dress's undoing as well. I ripped that interfering piece of garment in half. There was only a small lacy bra and panties standing between me and my welcome home party for Sookie. Her breast was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
Soft giggles had drawn my attention to Sookie's face. My lover was smiling at me. "Seeing something you like?" she asked innocently.
I smirked back and took a hold of both sides of her bra. "Well, lover…" I pulled it gently and Sookie's eyes got slightly wider. She knew what I was about to do. When I yanked it forcefully, ripping the cloth in half, my fairy only groaned. "… now I like it better."
"There is no point wearing any clothes around you." she said, rolling her eyes adorably. I chuckled at her. Still, this was my Sookie. More confident but just as amusing as she'd been earlier.
"I agree. But only when we are alone."
"Yes." She put her small hands around my neck and kissed me. I was planning on taking her hard and fast but as always, that turned out differently when my Sookie was involved. I wanted to cherish her, to worship slowly every inch of her body.
"I missed you," I told her quietly and I planted a gentle kiss on a corner of her mouth.
"I missed you more. It was eight months for me. I've been missing you and this whole world every day," she murmured into my neck somehow sadly. I could sense that she was feeling an overwhelming surge of happiness and fulfillment though.
I kissed her beautiful face first. Every inch of neck I would soon be biting. Each of her breasts had been given an equal amount of my attention. I was sucking her, kissing and biting gently until she started to beg me to move lower.
And I gladly did.
I didn't mind when the heels of her shoes were piercing my back; all I could think and experience was her amazing smell and taste. I always found pleasuring a woman orally satisfying. I like feeling control and I like an awareness that I bring someone pleasure. With Sookie, it was better. Our tie, even small and fading, was giving me a shadow of the pleasure she was receiving.
I rolled my tongue over a small bundle of nerves and Sookie's whole body jerked in my hold. I pushed her more firmly onto the floor, thanking in my mind a decorator (he or she) that had put a plush carpet there. My lover would surely be bruised from how hard I was coming down on her. When her body spasmed gently, I knew she was close. I should have waited to ask if it was safe. I should have controlled myself better. But there was no point. With Sookie, my self-control went all to Hell.
When the wave of pleasure went through her, I turned my head and stroke. It was a glorious feeling. My fangs pierced her skin and softly, gently, dipped into her flesh. Every inch of my fangs was sensitive and I felt an overpowering bliss. When I pulled gently on the small wound and her blood finally touched my tongue, all of my world shattered.
I could not fight with an orgasm that instantly came. Her blood hadn't tasted like this before. It had been delicious, now it was euphoric. I was waiting for a horrible feeling of hunger, of the need to drain my little fae but it hasn't been coming. I took one more pull and hesitantly pulled back.
I was licking those small puncture wounds, still slightly shaking.
"Did you enjoy it?" asked Sookie and I raised my head from between her thighs to look at her. There was a dreamy smile on her face.
"What was that?" I asked because I honestly had no idea.
"It was my blood… I knew you would not hurt me," she said softly, running her fingers through my hair. I turned my head, kissing her wrist gently.
"Never." I promised and I meant it. I could never hurt Sookie.
"Make love to me." She more demanded than asked but I would have to have been crazy to decline her request.
I put her gently on the bed and just like she had asked, I was cherishing her body slowly but forcefully. Sookie was meeting me halfway with every thrust and every kiss. While we started slowly, after awhile our lovemaking was getting faster and harder.
I growled quietly when at one point, Sookie made a low hissing noise and pierced my back with her nails.
"More," she moaned slowly and a strange warm sensation was spreading across my back. In the dimmed room I was able to see a soft blue glow and I thought I would be blasted.
Clearly, that was what you got when you hadn't satisfied your fairy woman enough.
Instead of pain, I started to feel almost suffocating lust. I was already crazy with her but somehow, Sookie was driving me out of my mind. I wanted more of her and I couldn't stop myself. Before I realized what I was doing, I had her down on all fours and hammering into her at vampiric speed. Somewhere in the corner of my mind, I knew I had to be gentle despite my speed and I was doing all I could not to harm my lover. I checked out our tie and I growled, feeling her pleasure and none of her pain.
Our orgasm was so hard, long and loud that if there had been any guests on our floor, they would have surely run out, afraid some wild animals had gotten into the hotel.
It took us a few minutes to gain back an ability to think and slightly longer to be able to speak.
"What was that?" I asked for the second time this night and I closed my eyes when Sookie turned back and embraced me. When I looked down at her, she was smiling and her eyes were sparkling - she was definitely well fucked. I patted myself mentally on the back.
"I gave you some of my light. I'm sorry…" she whispered but my little spitfire hadn't looked regretful in the slightest.
"And what would that do to me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. Sookie shrugged.
"According to Evan, sharing light strengthens the bond." She moved her finger over my chest drawing an invisible symbol. "It allows you to feel me and because your blood is almost gone from me I thought…" There was a small frown on her face. "Are you mad?"
"No, lover." I kissed her forehead. "I would actually like you to take my blood."
A beautiful smile appeared on her face. "Really?" she asked and moved closer to me.
"Did you doubt?"
"Well…" she started slowly. "I was wondering if you haven't found yourself someone. Three weeks is a long time for someone so passionate and…" She couldn't finish because I started to laugh. "Eric?" Sookie asked, watching me like I had lost my mind.
"Were you jealous, lover?" I teased when my final chuckles sounded.
"Maybe. I was wondering what will happen if I came back and I found you with some… bimbo," she mumbled stubbornly, watching my chest.
I felt flattered that she was jealous but also slightly offended that she thought I would actually find someone else. By the way, who could compete with her?
"And what did you decide?" I asked teasingly.
"That I will burn both of you to ashes," she had told me with a deadly glare and my amusement had disappeared.
We were watching each other for a moment and finally Sookie started to giggle. "Your face was priceless, my Viking."
"Very funny, lover. You know that such threats are losing their humorous meaning when a threat can be so easily carried out," I mumbled.
When she had calmed down a little, she had kissed me passionately and I had felt myself getting hard again. I definitely felt that some assuring was in order and there was no better way to assure Sookie that I want no one else but her than to make her scream my name few more times.
AN: I had to be more careful with writing lemons, because I was warned once that 'Family Matters' will be reported because of it. I hope it wasn't half bad though.
Next time, Sookie is going to explain what happened during her stay with Evan.
Please, leave me a review and tell me what you think about the update.
Till next time!
