Eric and Sookie have had some adventures in the big easy, and soon their trip will be coming to an end. I have so many thoughts running through my head about different characters and storylines, so I will wrap this book up in the next 2 chapters probably so I can concentrate on the next one. Thanks for sticking with me through my "practice" book and please follow me so you can read the next one!

Shortly after dusk the next evening, Eric woke me up in my favorite way. I had been up all day dropping off clothes at Goodwill and packing mine and Eric's bags to get ready to head home. I crawled back in bed late in the afternoon to catch a nap before Eric rose for the night.

"Good morning lover" Eric whispered as he nibbled my ear lobe.

"Honey, its six o'clock in the evening" I said

"To me it is morning, I just woke up. It really doesn't matter what time it is anyways." He smiled and flipped onto his back putting me on top straddling his waist.

"Ooh do you want to play min Viking?"

The only response I got back was a low growl. Oh boy this was gonna be fun! There's just something about Eric that makes him able to disintegrate panties at just the sound of his voice.

Eric leaned up towards me and began kissing my neck and shoulders. I gently pushed him back down and said "allow me." I slowly pulled the straps of my tank top down one at a time and then lifted the shirt off. I wasn't wearing a bra, so I rubbed my hands up my stomach and caressed my breasts and pinched my nipples. He was definitely enjoying the show and almost grabbed me back when I slid off the bed and stood beside it.

"Shall I finish undressing for you Master?" I asked with a sultry and subservient look.

Well that really got him going! I felt a wave of pleasure and lust wash over me as he stood up from the bed in front of me.

"Ja gör min jungfru, du då jag bjuder dig" (Yes my maiden, you will do as I bid you) He sounded so fucking hot speaking like that I didn't think he was even going to touch me before I got off.

"Då du önskar" (As you wish) I began slowly untying the strings of my pants and then slid them off . I stood there in my white lacy thong for a few seconds, while he took in the sight, and then I turned my back to him and slid them down. I kicked them over towards him just for good measure.

"Now you naughty girl, you will come over here and see how much of me you can fit in your mouth. I will tell you when and if your actions please me." He commanded and I was more than happy to oblige.

I slunk over to him and jerked his pants down. His boxer briefs were barely able to contain him he was so aroused, and I'm pretty sure I was drooling. I freed him of the rest of his clothes and then got on my knees and started licking the underside of his length first while staring in his eyes. I grabbed him with my hand and started moving in rhythm with my mouth. I would deep throat him a few times and look up at him to watch the pleasure on his face. After a few minutes, he was so hot he started gently thrusting his hips towards my mouth to pick up the pace. I loved that I could bring him so much pleasure and it was practically torture not to throw him down and plunge him inside me. I started this game of letting him be in control though, so I had to be patient. Plus I knew when it was my turn it would be well worth the wait. A few more thrusts from him and I moaned while he was still in my mouth and it sent him over the edge. I swallowed everything he gave and made sure he could watch me do it. He looked down at me and growled again and threw me over onto the bed.

"Du har gjort mycket väl för din herre. Du belönas" (You have done very well for your master. You will be rewarded)

Oh boy I couldn't wait to get that reward! I had to control myself from giggling like an idiot when he said that. Instead I would try to turn him on some more, if that was possible.

"Vänligen berätta mig vad denna belöning är min Kung. Jag kan inte vänta på att ta emot det" (Please tell me what this reward is my King. I can't wait to receive it)

As soon as the last word left my lips, Eric was kissing and licking all the way up the inside of my thighs. As he kissed them, he put one finger inside me and another finger began running circles over the most sensitive spot on me. I was halfway to O-town by the time he started licking and running his tongue in and out with his finger. I could feel the pleasure building inside me so deeply. It started like a tingling in my toes and ran all the way up my body, by the time it consumed me I felt like I was flying. My hot center was flowing into his mouth and he never stopped what he was doing, instead he quickly flipped me over on all fours and pushed my ass up high so he could still reach my clit. The different angle his tongue was now hitting was enough to send me back over the edge again in a screaming orgasm. After I came, I collapsed on the bed feeling like I had run a marathon.

"You taste amazing lover. Now let's see if you can keep up with me." He groaned

"I don't know how long I can last. I'm just a simple human and you're a big strong vampire. I think I need a pick me up."

He was on me so fast I hardly saw him move. He entered me roughly and it was incredibly erotic. He was kneeling on the bed and I was sitting on his lap with my legs wrapped around him, leaning my body back so he could take in the view of my breasts bouncing as he thrust. He pumped harder until he felt that wonderful place inside me that felt like a rippled wash board. The sensation was amazing for both of us and I knew that he was holding out until I got off. As soon as I felt all the pistons in my body firing, I grabbed his wrist and bit into it and sucked hard. That sent him flying as well and he leaned forward and bit into my neck.

We layed there for a few minutes not speaking, just immersed in our bond. I never thought I would be the kind of person who liked drinking blood, but apparently with Eric I couldn't get enough. Besides the obvious orgasmic pleasure of doing it, I always felt closer to him every time I did it. He too enjoyed it immensely. He told me that our bond would stay strong and we would be more emotionally connected because of how often we made love and drank from each other.

"So besides having mind blowing sex with me, what else would you like to do on our last night in New Orleans? Or is the sex all you want? Because I can make that happen" He was looking at me with his sly grin.

"Well the sex is pretty awesome, but I did want to get out on the town one more time if that's alright with you?"

"Of course lover, I will go anywhere with you. Let me bathe you and then we can go wherever you would like."

"Somehow I think if you bathe me, we'll never make it out of this house tonight!"

"Don't you think I have at least some control my dear?" He mocked me

"Let's see….um…..no!" I jumped off the bed and ran for the door. He was on me lik foot cat on a mouse.

"You're right I don't" He said and carried me into the bathroom. Over the next hour we got clean, then dirty, and then clean again. Finally I was able to finish getting ready and I walked into the living room and looked at my phone. There were two text messages.

Hey Sook its Amelia. If you and the dead guy don't have plans for 2nite, call me and lets hang out!

Damn I was going to miss her when we left in a few hours. I wonder if Eric would mind if we took her out with us. The next one was from Jason.

Hey sis, thanks for checkin on me. I'm feeling good and the bruises are already fading. Kirsten Summers came by to nurse me back to health. ;) Call me when you get back. Love ya

Well that was typical Jason alright. He was already over his little brush with death and one of his many on call "dates" was there to take care of him. I couldn't help but smile thinking of my brother's carefree attitude and his love of life and women. It made me all the more glad that I had rid the world of Sandra Pelt. She would never get the chance to hurt anyone else I loved.

"Are you ready you sexy thing?" Eric walked in looking like a Scandinavian God. Did I really want to leave the house or just screw him all night?

"Yea I'm ready, but I wanted to ask you something my love. Would it be ok if we invite Amelia and Bill to go out with us? I know I haven't known her long, but we've bonded over the last few days and I'm actually going to miss her when we leave." I gave him my best sad puppy dog eyes.

"I believe humans say, the more the merrier" He grinned

"Thanks hun! I'm just gonna text her back and call Bill and Mr. Cataliades."

Amelia it's on like donkey kong! Be ready to go in 20 mins. – Sookie

Bill, we're going out to have fun on the town for our last night in N.O. Wanna come? Me, Amelia, and Eric are going. Catch a ride with Mr. C. and don't be lame, you need some fun in your life! – Sookie

Eric had stepped out onto the balcony and was on the phone when I went out to join him.

"Yes Pam, Sookie and I will be coming home later tonight. I won't have time to come by before dawn, but I'll see you tomorrow evening at the bar. Yes she's right here, hold on" He handed the phone to me.

"Hey Pam!" I beamed at her through the phone. "Me and Eric have had a great time! I mean there was the whole kidnapping and spirit possession thing, but other than that it's been great."

"Sookie, do you have to get into trouble in every city you visit? You sure are a handful. Now hurry back and bring my maker with you. I am lonely and bored without you two at the bar to help me prank the humans and Bill."

"We miss you too Pam! You won't believe all the cool shoes I'm bringing back for us, Hadley had a shoe fetish almost as bad as yours." I laughed.

"Well now I really want you to hurry back. Bring the shoes by Fangtasia tomorrow and I'll forgive the fact that you two have been off having fun without me. Oh and invite that hot witch for a visit ." Pam said.

"How did you know about Amelia?" I asked confused

"Don't be dense telepath, of course Eric had me run her background and find out about her when you two decided to hang out with her after you shagged her." She said it so matter of fact but I was so embarrassed that Eric had told her about our very intimate meeting with Amelia. Pam was always trying to bring out my bad girl side and now that she knew I had one, she would never let me live it down, even if I wasn't entirely in my right mind at the time.

"Ok well gotta go Pam, our ride is here. See you tomorrow!" I hung up before she could bring the threesome up. I gave Eric a stern look and he just smiled and said "I'm sorry lover, did you want to keep that a secret? Oops." I was going to punish him later for that. In fact I was going to punish him hard.

"Let's go Viking; I'll deal with you later." I said

"Is that a promise?"

I punched him in the ribs and he faked doubling over in pain. One of the many things I loved about him was his sense of humor.

We went downstairs and Amelia came out and greeted us. Soon after, Mr. C pulled up and surprisingly Bill stepped out.

"Bill I'm glad you came! I didn't think you would make it." I said

"Well I didn't want to be thought of as lame." He said with some sarcasm

"So what are we doing tonight because I'm ready to roll!" Amelia said and we all climbed in the limo.

Mr. Cataliades rolled down the divider glass and said "So where are we off to tonight?"

I looked at Eric because I had no idea where I wanted to go, just that I wanted to have fun.

"The Cat's Meow please" Eric said to Mr. C

Amelia looked practically giddy at the idea so I had to ask "What's that?"

"Oh my God it's like the coolest place ever! It's like a mix between a strip club, a nightclub, and a casino. Oh and it's owned by supes so we'll fit in perfectly!" She said

"That's a weird name don't you think?" I asked

"Well they're a couple Werelions that own it so I guess they thought it was funny that humans wouldn't get the underlying message"

"Ms. Stackhouse dear, I took the liberty of refilling the mini fridge for you and Ms. Broadway. I know how much you enjoyed it before" He laughed and then rolled up his window.

"Well Amelia, should we start with dark or clear?" I said looking at all the bottles. This night was already off to a good start.

We only made it through about two bottles each when we pulled up to the club, or casino, whatever. I figured I better pace myself so I could drink all night. I mean it was our last night of our first vacation together, couldn't a girl let loose?

We walked to the front of the line like we had a few nights ago at the restaurant.

"Reservation for Northman" Eric said to the security guard with a clipboard

"Right this way sir. We have your private lounge set up as you requested." He nodded towards someone inside the door and a girl wearing a very short and very sparkly dress stepped out.

"I'll take you all to your lounge, follow me please." She smiled charmingly

That must have been the other call Eric made while I was texting Bill and Amelia. We went through the strip club, which seemed to be upscale if strip clubs could be upscale. Then through the nightclub area where music was blaring and there were 3 bars set up. Two of them served every type of liquor you could think of. Each of those two bars had two busty females with skimpy outfits on and one guy at each that looked like they stepped out of an Abercrombie ad. There was the third bar; this one was for vamps only. There were a few blood cocktails like the other restaurant had, but there were also attractive humans sitting on each bar stool wearing name tags that simply read "donor" Well we certainly weren't in Kansas anymore Toto.

I could just imagine the look on old Bud Dearborn's face if a bar in Bon Temps tried having humans sit around advertising themselves as vampire snacks. He would probably stroke out. I had to stifle my laughter at the image.

We came to an area that was roped off and the host led us in. There were small private lounges with big red velvet couches and you could draw a curtain closed around your area if you wanted privacy or leave it open to take in the rest of the club. I had to push myself mentally to shut out all the explicit thoughts I heard coming from all the brains around me. I grabbed Eric's hand and closed my eyes for a few seconds trying to shut out all the other noise with his silence. Just a year ago I wouldn't have been so excited to go out like this because all the other brains pulsing with excitement and lust would have made me insane. Now that Bill and Eric had helped me control my ability and I had taken so much of Eric's blood, it seemed much easier to handle. I could shield really well when I needed to now.

Amelia and I sat down on the big sofa and Bill sat beside her and Eric beside me. It almost seemed like we were on a double date, which is funny considering Bill is my ex and I've slept with all three of them. We sat there chatting for a few minutes until our waitress showed up and took our drink order. Bill and Eric ordered a glass of Royalty and Amelia and I stuck to a gin & tonic with lime.

"I've been meaning to ask you Amelia, what do you do for a living? I hope that didn't come out the wrong way, I was just wondering because you seem to be around most of the day." What I was thinking was, I've been here almost a week and haven't seen you go to work once. I was curious as to how she had the means to offer to buy back my condo for such a large amount of money.

"Oh no it's fine, I actually help out one of my fellow witches with her store and I occasionally do some work for the local supes. I own the entire building that I live in, well except the condo that I sold to Hadley that you now own neighbor." She smiled at me. "I also own two commercial lots in town and have a stake in one of my father's corporations. My father is wealthy and helped me get started investing in properties, so now I mostly do odd jobs and can live comfortably off the rent from my other properties and royalties from the company."

So she was a trust fund baby. I'm not holding it against her though, heck I wish my parents would have had some financial stability before they died so maybe my Gran wouldn't have had such a hard time raising us.

"Oh well that's nice that he was able to help you with that. Actually Bill knows all about rental properties and commercial lots. He owns one back home in Bon Temps. In fact, my friend Tara owns a boutique in his shopping center."

"Now that is something I need to invest in; clothing store. Of course I would probably be a really bad owner because I would end up keeping half my merchandise for myself!"

Our drinks came and went and after a few rounds, the guys had left to try their hand at gambling.

"You know witch, I'm really glad we met" I told Amelia

"Me too telepath! I've been thinking about going back to Bon Temps with you guys, I mean I'm bored here and a change of scenery would be nice. Do you know of any good places to rent in your little part of town?"

I was surprised and excited that she wanted to visit Bon Temps for a while. If you don't like watching paint dry, it can get a little boring around there.

"Actually I have two extra rooms that are available. I spend about half my time at Eric's house in Shreveport, so my house is empty a lot. You would have the house to yourself at least a few nights a week. I don't know if you would want to stay there though, it's an old farmhouse, nothing fancy and new like your place." I said slightly embarrassed.

"Are you kidding me? I love farmhouses! You would actually want me to be your roommate? Do you have those old wooden floors that creak when you walk on them?"

"Yea, they're probably as old as the house" I said thinking she was gonna run for the hills.

"Oh my gosh those are my favorite! I bet you have a big porch too?" She sounded like an eager child

"Oh yea, wraps around the whole house. If you like that, you should know that I also have a tin roof and only recently decided to install air conditioners" I said sarcastically.

"That's awesome! I would love to be your roomie!" She shrieked

"Ok cool, so when are you thinking about coming?"

"How about tomorrow? I'll pack as soon as we get back!"

Wow, she really must be bored with New Orleans to be that excited to go back to my little Podunk town. Poor thing would be itching to leave in a week. Funny thing is; I read right from her brain that she really did want to go and was genuinely excited. I was excited too. I know I have a few friends, I'm not desperate, but I don't see much of Tara since her and her vamp broke up in a really bad way and I wasn't seeing Claudine as much lately since I had spent so much time around dead people. It would be nice to have a real friend to hang out with and talk to.

"Tomorrow is fine. I'll make up the guest room after I get up tomorrow and I'll see you in the evening I guess" I said

We left the club about an hour later. Bill and Eric were a few hundred dollars richer and Amelia and I were a little drunker. Eric playfully carried me up the stairs mumbling something about me punishing him, while Bill and Amelia were talking in the courtyard.

"See you tomorrow roomie!" I yelled down from top of the stairs.

After another hour or two of vampire sex games, Eric got a text from Bill saying he and Mr. C were waiting outside. We threw our luggage in the car and said goodbye to the French quarter…for now at least.
