GPOV

"Master, she'll be back soon," Eric assures me once more as I continue to pace nervously through the upstairs of his dwelling. "Come, join me and our love shall be returned to us in no time at all," he says, patting the cushioned seat beside him. I drop down beside him, but cannot seem to quiet the incessant yearning screaming from within me to be united with my beloved once more, to ensure her safety.

"Our love is truly adept at protecting herself?" I question hesitantly as he nods to me, a fond smile crossing his handsome face.

"She stood up to me, quite fearlessly, I might add," he tells me, surprising me as my brows rise subtly. "She is so much stronger than her outward appearance might suggest," he informs me as a small smile comes to my own face, feeling my love drawing closer through our shared connection.

"She approaches," I inform him as he looks to me in shock, shaking his head in disbelief.

"The bond between you is fascinating," he says as I have to nod my agreement. "How was it the two of you met, Master?" he questions as my smile widens, recalling the fateful day I met my soul's counterpart.

"I was roaming nearby woods of my village in search of game to feed the tribe," I start with a fond smile as Eric scoots closer, listening intently. "A sound gathered my attention and I stalked closer, my spear at the ready, only to come across the most beautiful sight my eyes had yet to behold."

"Sookie," he whispers, a small smile stretching over his face as I feel his affections flowing between us.

"Well, Chloe, but yes," I confirm as he nods his understanding. "There she sat, a golden beauty, crying and alone in the middle of the woods, her own tribe having been only just decimated by hostile forces and she stared up at me, tears staining her ethereal face as her bright, cerulean eyes dimmed in defeat," I explain, recalling just how afraid my beloved was of me upon our first encounter.

"She considered you an enemy," Eric whispers as I nod to him, confirming his suspicions.

"That she did, and in actuality, I truly was," I concede, shaking my head as I recall what happened next. "She rose to her feet then, fearlessly standing before me as she held out her arms, inviting her impending death willingly," I recall as Eric stares at me in shock.

"So what happened next?" my child questions nervously as I smile warmly at him, recalling my courageous child welcoming his own death just as willingly.

"I could not do it," I admit. "Admittedly, I would not have hesitated under normal circumstances, but there was just something about this intriguingly beautiful woman that made me pause," I recall thoughtfully. "It was then that I felt the overwhelming, burning compulsion to reach out to her, to caress her golden skin and once my fingers graced the smooth flesh of her angelic face, I knew, this woman was mine," I explain as my child jaw drops in disbelief.

"Just like that? You just knew?" he questions as I nod, chuckling lowly.

"As did she," I confirm, standing from the couch as I feel my love drawing ever closer. I speed through the dwelling then, meeting my Sookie at the entryway and bring a startled gasp from her as I pull her tightly into my embrace. She sighs softly then, wrapping her own arms around me tightly. "My love," I whisper reverently, placing a soft kiss to her temple.

"I missed you," she whispers back, smiling up to me before glancing over to my child. "Both of you," she adds, opening her arms to pull a grinning Eric into our embrace.

"Everything went well, Lover?" Eric questions, earning a small hum from our love as she nods against his broad chest. My face pinches in distaste then as I pull away from my love, giving her a questioning look.

"You reek of dog, my love," I inform her, earning a small snicker from her as my child nods his agreement. "Come, I shall bathe you," I inform her then, scooping her up into my arms to elicit delighted giggling from her as my child proceeds to follow the pair of us down to his subterranean quarters.

"I think I can bathe myself just fine, you two," she informs us as Eric and I share a knowing grin.

"But what fun is that, Lover?" he leans down to breathe against her ear, eliciting an anticipatory shiver from our love. My Sookie's lust spikes between us then and I find myself trembling with my own aching need as I proceed to eagerly peel away my love's canine fragranced clothing, exposing every inch of her succulent skin before me.

"I suppose you're right about that," she concedes, sending a lustful gaze over my child as water begins filling the large, white basin. She turns that sultry gaze to me then, reaching up to help me remove my own clothing as our combined arousals are welling up between us. Eric joins us then and Sookie and I each look up to him with mirroring, tender smiles.

We both help to undress my child together and I have to smile, looking on as he pulls Sookie into a breath stealing kiss, his burning need flowing steadily between us. As much as I wish to be joined with my love once more this night, I cannot leave my child wanting and quickly devise a plan for our impending joining.

"Join me, my loves," I beseech, stepping into the warming waters, soon being united with them both in the large basin. Eric begins backing away and I reach up to stop him, shaking my head as I pull him back, positioning him between Sookie and myself as his brows rise in surprise.

"Master?" he questions softly as I grin up at him, molding myself against his back before pressing a soft kiss to his throat.

"Let us both love you this night, my child," I beseech softly, feeling matching elation emanating from my two loves as they nod their agreement. The three of us are soon kneeling in the heated waters and Eric gently lays our love against the wall of the white tub while I press myself against him, reaching around to run my hands over his firm chest whilst pressing soft kisses along his throat and shoulders.

"Master," he whispers, grateful tears choking his words as I feel deep appreciation flowing from him. "It has been so long," he informs me, reaching back to caress my face softly as his cerulean eyes are rimmed with crimson tears. It has not been long at all since I last remember sharing this intimacy with my child, but feeling his longing only solidifies my resilience in pressing forward with this joining.

"I love you, my child," I assure him, kissing him softly whilst pushing the extent of my devotions to him. Our kiss quickly deepens, becoming a sensual dance for dominance as our tongues twine together familiarly. Soft sniffling sounds then and we both turn to see our Sookie's sapphire eyes shining with joyful tears as she gives us a soft smile.

"Beautiful," she whispers reverently, shaking her head at us to bring matching grins from Eric and I. Eric clears his throat loudly then, shaking off his earlier disquiet as he lowers his face before our love.

"Not nearly as beautiful as you, Lover," he assures her, bringing a snort of amusement from our Sookie as her bright blue eyes shine in adoration. "Tell me, are you ready for me?" he questions, earning a fervent nod of her golden head before he's aligning himself with her sex. "Fuck," he whispers, sheathing himself inside her fully before I'm pressing gently against his entrance.

"Eric," I growl out, gripping his broad shoulders tightly whilst sinking my arousal slowly deeper inside my child to elicit a small hiss from him. I keep careful attention to the bond between us as I work ever deeper, wanting to bring only pleasure for him and once I'm fully sheathed and am rubbing against that one, pleasurable spot deep inside of him, a pleased groan sounds from his throat as he reaches back to cup the nape of my neck into his large palm.

"Godric," he whispers against my lips before covering my mouth with his own, kissing me deeply as the three of us work to find a steady rocking motion between our combined hips. As always, I'm ever careful with my child, making sure to keep my strokes gentle as I lose myself to this intimate closeness between the three of us.

Hands caress over dampened skin and lips place feather light kisses over every inch of exposed flesh between us as the three of us work one another ever closer to our combined peaks. Soon, water is sloshing over the basin's edge as combined thrusts become harder, deeper, our mutual gratification at our fingertips before my nerves are thrumming, sending waves of shuddering pleasure through me as I release my seed deep within my child.

"Godric, Sookie," Eric groans out, following Sookie and I over the precipice of ecstasy to leave the three of us entwined together with sated, glowing limbs within the heated waters. "I love you," he whispers then, looking back and forth between us, running his long fingers over our lightly glowing skin with a fond smile. "Both of you," he clarifies as I feel my Sookie's elation flowing through me.

"I love you, too, Eric," she whispers, leaning up to kiss my child softly before turning her attention to me, looking over Eric's broad shoulder as a soft smile graces her plush, pink lips. "I love you, Godric," she assures me, confirming the feel of her affections washing over me as she leans up to kiss me tenderly.

"And I love you, my dearest Sookie, mo anam chara," I assure her, reaching up to run my fingers through her dampened, golden hair, eliciting a soft sigh from my love. Eric sits up between us then and we work to resituate ourselves as he pulls Sookie to rest against his softly glowing chest before I lay my head upon my love's lighted chest with a contented sigh, listening to the comforting sound of her steady heartbeat.

"Oh!" Sookie soon exclaims, her elation spiking through the bond before she's grinning widely down to me. "I talked to Amelia tonight," she informs me, running her fingers through my wetted locks. "She's bringing a spell over tomorrow so I can fix the wish I made. We'll be able to get your memories back now," she informs me as I nod, leaning up to press a soft kiss to her lips.

"Thank you for this, my love," I tell her, not sure exactly what to expect after this magic is performed, yet wanting more than anything to close this apparent rift between the three of us, to have my loves understand me better in this strange place. Her anxiety is rising then and I run my hands over her dampened arms to soothe her as a small frown forms over her ethereal features.

"She also said there are some evil witches in town," she says then, looking to Eric who nods, letting out a loud sigh. "You knew?" she questions curiously as he nods once more.

"Yes, I had the misfortune of running into the rather unpleasant coven the first night we returned from Dallas," he informs us, worry shining clearly in his cobalt eyes. "Though, with everything else that has happened, I had yet to bring it up."

"Ames says they're intent on taking over all the supe run businesses in town," she says as Eric nods his understanding of this. "She also said they're working to recruit local witches, threatening them if they refuse to side with them," she informs us as I feel their mirroring worry flowing between us, raising my own anxieties for my loves.

"They must be eradicated," I state firmly, gaining surprised looks from both Eric and Sookie before they're nodding their agreement. "I will not allow harm to come to either of you," I assure them as they both nod firmly, their combined determination settling through the bond.

"But aren't vampires particularly susceptible to magics?" Sookie asks fearfully, looking back and forth between us in concern.

"Lover," Eric says thoughtfully. "You and Amelia have ties over the whole of Bon Temps supernatural community," he states, bringing a nod from our love before her blue eyes shine in realization.

"You're thinking a joint effort would be best," she muses, a wide grin stretching over her face. "This would certainly be an excellent idea, well, so long as the lot of you can get along," she adds raising a brow at my child as he shrugs dismissively.

"If they've threatened others the way they have the local witches and myself, the other groups would surely be apt to join in the fight if it meant putting an end to this threat for good," he assures her as Sookie nods her agreement before wrapping her arms around me tightly to bring a soft purr of contentment from my throat.

"I'll do whatever it takes to keep you both safe," she insists as I share a knowing smile with my child, both of us thinking the exact same thing as our ever courageous love.
