Chapter 49

Eric's On The Prowl, I'm On The Run. How Sweet It Is!

The warm water in the shower felt like liquid heaven. The sensation of each individual drop hitting my skin was like being made love to by a million tiny water nymphs. I couldn't believe how heightened my sense of touch was. Eric was standing behind me, washing my back. He was purposefully not thinking anything I could make sense of. All I could here was him singing some crazy old Swedish drinking song. Was he on to me and my secret already? I felt him pull my hair to the side and I knew he was about to bite. This would be the first time he fed on me since I had become a vampire. If that's really what I was. There seemed to be reasonable doubt about that with one of the recent developments since we had gotten home. Apparently, no vampire in the history of forever had ever taken a leak.

He sank his fangs into me and I felt paralyzed and in total ecstasy all at once. I was aware of all of the things still going on around me, the water hitting my skin, the feel of Eric's mouth on my neck and his humongous erection poking into the small of my back. But everything had taken on a hazy, glowing appearance and I immediately felt the very beginning of my orgasm. As a human, it hadn't been such a gradual thing for me, I had always blown up like a stick of dynamite with a very tiny fuse. This was different, I was aware of the first spark that began the build-up. It was beautiful torture as the spark expounded into a small flicker and then a flame. Eric was still drinking and one of his hands had crept around to my breasts while the other busied itself working my clit into a frenzy of pulsating raw nerves. I couldn't make a sound or move a muscle. I heard Eric's voice, close to my ear, the tone erotic and a little threatening. His hands kept working their magic and I knew the golden edge of release was close.

"Min alskarinna, do you not know how wrong it is to keep secrets from your maker? I am disappointed in you. Surely you knew that I would find out through the blood, or did you forget about that little detail? You are a dangerous creature now, indeed. I finally understand why you felt so aroused by my dangerous nature. But remember, I am your maker and in turn, your master. I forbid you to keep secrets from me, Sookie. I think that better than telling you this, you may learn your lesson better if I prove to you that I am the most dangerous creature you will ever meet. You should still fear me, regardless of how much I love you and regardless of your new state of being."

My mind was going a million miles per hour. What in the hell was going on? Was he pissed? Was he threatening to finally kill me?

"Now, lover, I am going to leave this shower and I will give you a thirty minute head start. You should run and do your best to escape, for when I catch you, and I will catch you, there will be consequences and lessons to be learned. Do you understand me, Sookie?"

I tried to nod but I exploded into an orgasm of such magnitude that when I gripped the soap niche I ripped it right off of the wall. I felt as if my body would quake into a million pieces and I kept crying Eric's name over and over. I felt him leave the shower and I slid down the wall, laughing and crying at the same time. Beautiful, glorious and frightening, orgasms as a vampire felt life altering. No wonder vamps spent so much of their time screwing.

I stood and looked at the damage I had caused to the shower. Shit, I would have to learn to control that if we were gonna have any sort of home.

Time is running out, Sookie. I would run if I were you.

He was serious? He was serious! I was frantic now, grabbing the clothes that Pam had packed for me and dressing without bothering to dry off. I located the running shoes I hadn't been able to find the night of our first argument and slid them on. I was upstairs and out the door, blurring like I had seen Eric, Bill and Pam do so many times. I wish I could have enjoyed the experience but I didn't have time. Eric had some psychotic game of hide and seek planned and I wasn't just gonna roll over and let him win. It was good to know that the old Stackhouse stubbornness and competitiveness were intact. Maybe I would surprise Eric again. I sent my mind out to try and find him as I ran but felt as if the signal had hit a brick wall.

Too obvious, Sookie. You are not thinking like a vampire. I hope you make this more difficult than this.

Damn, he was blocking me. He anticipated that move, like he was reading my mind. I envisioned a shield around me, one that would make me invisible to his mind and block my thoughts from him unless I directed them at him.

Well played my love. That is the way a vampire would think. But you are no ordinary vampire are you? Time is up and now I am hunting you. And when I find you, I will collect what I am due. Ready or not, here I come.

He was ruthless, I was truly a little scared and a whole bunch of turned on.

**** on my way out the door to the doctors. Be back home later and I promise to write some more. Just wanted to give you a little teaser of what I have planned for this night. Soon, my dear ones!!!
