Chapter Ten
Intimacy & Special Requests

Staring at Sookie with an expression he knew displayed both his surprise at her offer and his hungry to accept, his perfect control slipped as his fangs partially descended without his permission. He found he couldn't recall a moment where he had been forced to hide his fangs, his lips pressing into a thin line in an attempt to hide his slip up.

Did she have any idea of what she was offering to him?

His denial of blood had been in no way a manipulative tactic aimed to guilt her into offering her swan-like throat, and yet, the beautiful angel by his side not only seemed to unknowing undermine both her looks and worth on a consistent basis, but she was offering her life essence to him without the desire for anything else in return.

Her trust was a delightful surprise.

"She is offering you her blood," Eric muttered bewildered as they followed a determined yet peaceful Sookie back towards their room. Stubborn she clearly was.

"She is," he agreed.

He would be lying if he had said he had expected as much, and yet, while his morals pushed him to refuse her offer, however tempting it was, he found himself unable to do so; especially, when she seemed almost disheartened when his gut reaction had been to deny her very selfless offer.

He was very much aware of the fact that when he had not immediately accepted her self-esteem was brought into question. Instead of him caring for her well-being, not wishing for her to hold any resentment towards him, she had believed herself to be unworthy when actually it was the other way round.

She did not see herself clearly.

She was belonged to both himself and his childe, there would be no more offering to share her blood.

"And you accepted?" Eric almost seemed surprised.

His lips quirked, "would you have refused such a tempting offer?"

Eric's silence told him all he needed to know.

The short journey back to their hotel room was swift, Sookie waiting nervously by the door as Eric slid the key-card within the lock. She visibly startled when an audible click could be heard.

"You do not need to do this, Sookie" he couldn't help but ask. If she was uncomfortable in any way he would refuse. This wasn't just about blood and survival.

Sookie frowned briefly before giving him a bright smile. "I haven't changed my mind, Godric. To be honest I'm kind of curious as to what it will feel like, I mean one of my customers came in once, but her thoughts were mostly centred around the sex rather than the bite" she wrinkled her nose.

Eric smirked. "Blood and sex are very closely linked, Lover," he winked before making himself comfortable.

The alluring sight of blood rapidly rising to her tanned cheeks made his fangs ache.

Sookie looked to him, flushed but alarmed. "Godric-"

"I do not expect sex from you, little one" Godric narrowed his eyes in the direction of his amused childe. "Ignore Eric."

Sookie breathed a sigh of relief before her cheeks deepened in their pink. "It isn't that I don't find you attractive, because I do- I mean…uh…your very nice and all…but…well Bill, but then again…no…no…uh" she stumbled over her words.

Her outward admission that she found him physically attractive was enough to confirm that perhaps getting involved in an intimate relationship would not be as hard as he had previously anticipated. He was aware his youthful features made it hard for many to accept that he was far from a teenager.

"She finds you sexy, Godric" Eric wiggled his brows.

Narrowing his eyes, Godric gave his childe a look of warning. "Remember your place, childe."

With a roll of his eyes Eric crossed his arms behind his head, stretching out from his position relaxing on the bed. Sookie pursed her lips, attempting to fight the urge to give Eric a telling off.

Nervously fiddling with her fingers Godric took pity on her, closing the door behind him before he made his way gracefully towards the lounge area in the hotel room.

"Are you sure of this, Sookie?" Godric gestured for her to take a seat next to him. "I do not wish for you to feel as if it is necessary, nor your duty to follow through with this."

Even as he spoke Godric couldn't help but wish that she would not go back on her offer, that she would allow him the first sample of her blood. The subtle but present hints of fae in her scent were diluted enough that he knew he would not become unable to control himself while drinking from her skin, however, he doubted he would not be able to taste it in her blood. It was not solely her blood that was calling to him, but her trust and intimacy that he had deprived himself of for so long.

He was…excited.

Unfamiliar with the emotion, not having felt so alive in decades, Godric did not want his own desire to destroy the trust Sookie clearly had developed in him in such a short amount of time. As he trusted her with his life, she trusted him with hers.

He would not break that trust.

Sookie took a seat next to him, her heart rate a fast beat within her chest as she tried to calm herself. He would have been lying if he did not say it only made her blood more tempting as it raced around her body as naturally as it was for her to breathe.

"Will it hurt?" she asked nervously.

Godric shot a glance in his childe's direction, shaking his head at the lustful smirk Eric was putting across. It was clear they shared the same wave length, that her innocence in all things to do with sex was both arousing and tempting.

They would be her first in many aspects it seemed.

Neither were disappointed.

"How much do you know regarding vampires feeding, little one?" Godric asked curiously.

He watched her pause. "From what little I've heard it hurts slightly, 'cause your sinking your fangs in ma skin 'nd all."

…so precious…

Her innocence on just how sensual and erotic feeding could be was more of an aphrodisiac than he could have ever thought it would be. The arousal he felt through the bond he shared with Eric informed him that they were on the exact same wave length, the only difference being that Sookie was offering him her throat while his childe would have to take a back seat.

It would be a good lesson of patience for Eric, he mused.

Gently moving to rest his hand on her tanned knee he attempted to ignore the tingling of his fangs and the lengthening of his cock. It had been more than a few decades since he had felt so alive, so sensual and energised. It was deliciously arousing that his reawakened sexuality was with an innocent, pure and beautiful telepath that was Miss Stackhouse.

"A vampires bite can be an erotic experience between both human and vampire, älskling" Godric began honestly. It was not his intention to hide anything from her, least it pushes her away afterwards. "I do not want you to be alarmed if you become sexually aroused."

He watched intently as her face grew hotter, the flushness of her cheeks only making her more beautiful.

"S-sexually a-aroused?" she stuttered.

Godric felt his cock twitch with interest in the confines of his linin trousers.

"I will not take advantage of you, älskling. I will never lay a single hand on you until you ask if of me, in which case I would not deny you."

Her cheeks reddened further if that was possible. "Uh…can I have a minute?" she managed to mumble out before dashing for the bathroom after Godric made a noise of agreement. The door shut with a click.

"You're a lucky bastard," Eric snipped out causing him to chuckle. "I've been working on her for the better part of a month."

Godric rolled his eyes. "And do tell me what working on her entailed? Crude comments and lust filled stares?"

Eric grinned, fangs decentred. "It's never failed me before."

"And do tell me, childe, as to how many Sookie's walk through the doors of Fantasia on a regular basis?" he quirked a brow, shooting his childe a grin that had Eric rolling his eyes.

Even so, Eric couldn't deny the fact that he had approached Sookie in the wrong manner. She was far from an easy shameless whore who would flash herself for a free drink, a willing fangbanger that would literally kiss the ground he walked on if he so much as told them to. No, Sookie was worth more than that. There was no comparison between his little telepath and the blood-bags which lined his pockets and filled his bed.

No more than ten minutes later a less frazzled Sookie nervously slipped out from the bathroom, the dampness of her collar suggesting that she had splashed her face in order to try and calm herself down. Godric and Eric alike were relieved to discover that her more calm nature suggested that it must have worked.

"Are you sure about this, little one?"

Sookie smiled at him almost fondly as she took a seat next to him on the couch, brushing the soft fabric of her dress in order to smooth out the few creases that had formed in the fabric. She was touched he seemed so concerned about her regretting this, however, whether or not he intended it, his gentle nature only seemed to make her more confident that she was making the right choice.

"You don't need to worry, Godric" she grinned. "If anything you're solving my curiosity, so think of it like we are both getting something out of this."

Not as much as me dear, Godric thought wearily.

Still, he would not try and talk her out of this. She was a grown woman, not to mention his mouth was salivating at the thought of his fangs cutting smoothly through her soft tanned skin. There was nothing else that came to mind on how he could make sure that she did not regret this afterwards, because while she may be steadying herself not to feel arousal, he would be forced to make sure she did.

He would not hurt her.

…he bet she tasted like sunshine…

The least painful way for a vampire to feed is to replace pain with pleasure. Unless the vampire feeding had sadistic tendencies to desire to inflict pain on the human while feeding, the aroused element tainted the blood in a positive manner that made it all the more appealing.

When it came to the telepath in front of him, he would spend the rest of his eternity dedicated to not inflicting pain on the rare delight that was Sookie Stackhouse.

"Where do you wish for me to feed, älskling?" he would not deny that his gaze did not stray away from the long column of her neck as his fangs ached in anticipation.

As if reading his thoughts his childe felt it necessary to add his input into the already sensitive conversation. "He prefers the jugular."

"Eric!" Hissing too low for Sookie's less sensitive hearing to catch, Godric narrowed his eyes at his childe. "Now is not the time!"

Surprisingly, Sookie didn't seem to have an issue with the personal intimacy that came with drinking from the neck rather than the wrist. He would have expected that due to her relationship between herself and Compton and her lack of experience, it would have made her more inclined for him to feed from the wrist, however, he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth and talk himself out of what she was offering.

Still, he couldn't resist asking her; "if you are sure?"

With her nod of approval he gestured her closer, anticipation running through his veins as he was very much aware of both the fact Eric was watching intently, a firm hand applying a consistent pressure to his groin, while Sookie's heart was thumping within her chest in anticipation. Given this was her first experience, it was important that he got it right considering both his and Eric's future intentions relied heavily on her wishing to repeat it on a regular basis.

No pressure, he mused.

Gently running a hand up and down her thigh, making sure not to get carried away and allow his hand go further than he intended, he carefully applied just enough pressure to make her jump. He could already sense that she had relaxed against him, her breathing coming out in faster pants as she seemed to automatically tilt her head to the side, thus offering him her neck.

He grunted low in his throat as the sensitive head of his cock caught on the fabric of his linin trousers, catching the soft "fuck" from Eric's lips as his childe seemed intent on enjoying this rare opportunity as much as possible. He could already see Eric pressing a firm palm against his groin and allowed himself to open the bond between them fully; allowing his childe to sample his emotions as he fed on the female they both desired so.

Fingers brushed away the blonde curls blocking his view of her long, slender neck. His fangs ached as he held back as long as he could before moving closer, invading her personal space as he ran his nose along the length of her neck, feeling her shudder as he inhaled her scent.

Her scent was even more heavenly this close.

The first taste of his tongue gliding along the soft skin of her throat had a low rumble vibrating in the back of his throat, his chest heaving with an unnecessary but instinctual breath as he prepared himself to sample the first taste that was Sookie.

He knew he would not be disappointed.

Pulling up his upper lip, displaying his fangs, he tested his little fae's reaction as he dragged the tips of the sensitive points along her skin, pleasantly surprised when she released a barely audible moan that he doubted she was even aware of releasing. It was probably for the best. He did not desire to scent her humiliation.

However, nothing could have prepared him for the first taste of blood as it caressed his tingling fangs, filling his mouth as he broke the virgin skin.

He could only hope he had both the control and will power to stop.

So, how far should Godric and Sookie go?

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the handsome Viking, but I figured he is going to have to suffer through some patience and blue balls before Sookie can get over the fact he doesn't solely desire her for sex.

Reviews = affection ;)
