A/N: Guilty this was not how I had planned the chapter on going, but I was really in the mood for some lemony goodness so I thought fuck it! Hopefully no complaints even if I admit it is slightly abrupt but when I'm in that kind of mood I can't help but go with the flow.

Warning: heavy petting!

Beta: Once again I would like to thank Simi Nightmares for editing the chapter. I've become spoilt.

Disclaimer: I do not own True blood; I just borrowed the characters for a bit of fun!

Chapter Twenty-Six
Dangerous Temptations

Even looking back, Sookie could barely remember how she had found herself to be in the situation she was in now, dress hitched up to mid-thigh as she squirmed and huffed against the side of Eric's neck, the thick wet muscle of his tongue trailing up the column of her own.

She fought against the urge to whimper.

Her mind was a haze with lust as her fingers desperately grasped at the soft shirt covering Eric's chest, her grip tightening and loosening a few times as she chewed the bottom of her lip raw while her thoughts ran a mile a minute. Eric may not have been doing anything other than mapping out the side of her neck with his tongue, but considering it was more than what Bill had done with her made it all the more stimulating.

It made her want more, even if it was against her better judgement.

"Eric."

She wasn't sure what she wished to gain from her pathetic whimper. Did she want him to stop? He definitely wasn't hurting her, and she was a warm-blooded single woman so there was no harm, right?

Her mind was telling her "no."

Her sopping core on the other hand was saying "yes, yes, yes."

Conflicted, she cried out when Eric's lips closed around a small portion of her skin before sucking. Her eyes rolled back in her head as she shuddered, her thighs a trembling mess as she instinctively moved further against the edge of the desk he had placed her on before wrapped around a firm, muscle thigh.

It wasn't the most comfortable position, but the pleasure it caused with the slightest pressure against the junction between her legs more than made up for it.

"Eric, please."

They were alone in his office, something else she was still fuzzy over the details of. One minute they were all sitting in the room, Pam included, chatting about what she had heard from her surveillance within the bar, and the next…

…she was ungracefully humping Eric's thigh.

God, her Gran would be rolling in her grave if she saw her behaving like a common hussy.

Even with her Gran on her mind, she couldn't seem to control herself; her cheeks flushed with obvious arousal as she dug her nails in the black fabric beneath them. The tensing and rolling of muscles barely contained under the tight fabric only had her further melting against him.

Christ, she wanted more.

Knowing she was going to regret it later but too high on lust for the full consequences to come through, Sookie only briefly hesitated before her fingers were entwined within Eric' blonde hair, tugging back sharply. He grunted against her neck, but relented and pulled away.

"Sookie, what-"

She didn't allow him to finish, her position on the desk resulting in the fact she didn't need to strain her neck as much as she would have had they both been standing. Within a split second she had taken his bottom lip between her teeth, biting down roughly before pulling away just enough to capture his mouth in a kiss that had her toes curling within her flats.

So good…

She was going to hell for this, because it felt so good it must be a sin.

Surprised but not put off in the slightest, Eric returned the kiss with a low growl that had her panties soaking between her thighs, her legs still curled around Eric's firm thigh as she shamefully found herself grinding against his jeans, the rough friction resulting in her shamefully screeching against his mouth before it turned into a long drawn out moan.

She could feel something building…

The first moment her tongue touched Eric's she felt herself explode, sparks flashing behind her eyes as she cried out against his mouth, Eric's hands resting surprisingly still against her sides as she shuddered, whimpered and grinded against his upper thigh.

Never had she felt this good before.

And never would she have figured herself to be the aggressive one in such a situation, especially not with Eric.

Pulling away with reluctance she rested her forehead against his chest, her grip on his shirt tight and unrelenting as she savoured the afterglow she rarely experienced. She touched herself some nights, she had been curious after all, but never had it felt so fulfilling and pleasurable.

Eric brought her out of her pleasurable haze, "did you just cum?"

Flushing brightly, Sookie refused to look up. Did he have to phrase it so bluntly? It wasn't until she felt soft but firm fingers pressing against the underside of her chin that she forced herself to raise her gaze, cheeks aflame with humiliation which only led to her eyes widening further when she caught sight of his own appearance.

He looked wreaked!

Eyes dark enough to hide any pupil, fangs she hadn't noticed when kissing clicked into place, and his entire stance screamed hunger and want.

It made her feel…sexy.

Apparently that was all she needed in order to forget about the fact she shouldn't be doing this, because before she was even aware of her own actions she had a small hand running up his inner thing before gentle fingers skimmed across the very obvious, very generous bulge visible beneath his jeans.

Her hands shook at his answering growl.

"Do you have any idea what you do to me you little vixen?" he purred, her face flushing further in response. "Such a talented little mouth, being able to cum without me even touching that sweet heat of yours. If I wasn't so turned on by how sensitive you were I'd be disappointed I didn't get to brush my fingers against that perfect little clit of yours."

She should have been repulsed. She should have told him were he could stick that dirty and disrespectful mouth of his. Instead she only pressed harder against his erection, both trying to bring her pleasure while attempting to clear her head simultaneously.

It was proving…difficult.

Sensing she liked it, Eric's lips curled into a predatory grin. He knew she wouldn't be a disappointment in the sack, and while their current position was an unexpected surprise, he was very much pleased with the result. It wouldn't be long now until he could publicly call her is lover without her objection.

"Are you going to return the favour, lover?" he drawled, hunger swarming in his lower belly and throat. God did he want her. "You came so prettily."

Sookie blushed, looking down only to squirm when it only brought the fact that Eric was aroused further to the surface. It was hard to miss the sight of her hand pressing against his crotch. Breathing heavily she made a move to nervously pull away.

Eric gripped her wrist, holding her in place. "You can touch," he murmured.

It made her pause.

Did she want to?

It would be a lie to say she didn't. She may not have any experience when it came to pleasuring a man, but it couldn't be that hard could it? Eric seemed to have been enjoying himself just fine before she had made a move to lean away from him as she considered her options.

Tilting her head up she stared at him with wide eyes, "Guide me?" she murmured, fingers still touching his groin even without the encouragement of his hand curled around her wrist.

Eric groaned loudly, "So fucking sexy."

Not being able to help herself Sookie grinned, "You think I'm sexy?" she teased, the words sounding foreign on her tongue.

"I've never concealed my attraction towards you, lover." Sookie had to give him that. Eric had been far from shy when it came to desiring her. "Cumming untouched, however, was a delightful surprise."

Sookie flustered, rolling her eyes even as she internally wondered whether it could be considering cumming untouched if she had been grinding heatedly against his thigh. "I bet you say that to all the girls."

Large fingers moved to cup her chin, his thumb trailing along her bottom lip in a gentle manner that had all the amusement dissolving from the situation. She would never expect this kind of affection from him.

"You really underestimate your worth, don't you?" he murmured softly, sounding so much like his maker it was startling.

Collapsing against his chest she sighed, "I shouldn't be doing this."

"There is nothing wrong with seeking pleasure, Sookie."

She sighed, "I can't be what you want, Eric. Sex without attachment just isn't me; I fall too quickly and look at how that ended up with Bill. I can't allow myself to fall for you when all you are after is a warm body to keep between your sheets and a telepath to use as an asset. Business I can manage, but this-" she gestured between the two of them, "Is never going to work."

"Don't try and tell me what I want, Sookie!" Eric felt his eyes narrow. He was still hard, it was impossible not to be with the scent and reminder of his lover's cum soaking what he knew to be a pair of delicate panties.

Frowning, "What do you want, Eric?" she demanded. "Please enlighten me, because I'm beginning to realise this whole thing shouldn't have happened. "What the hell had she been thinking? Now that the afterglow was beginning to wear off she was in shock about what she had allowed Eric to do to her and at her own actions.

Not only did they kiss but, gosh, she grinded on his leg! Her face flushed, cheeks burning as she trembled. It wasn't until she felt a twitch beneath her hand that she jerked away at the realisation that she was still groping him.

He was big; she couldn't help but think even against her better judgement, really big.

She shook her head, mentally giving herself a scolding. Now was hardly the time to think about giving up her virgin status, no matter how good her orgasm had been.

She tried not to imagine how much better it would be if they had actually touched.

Multiple emotions flickered across Eric's face, too quick for Sookie to manage to identify even a single one. "I have no experience with relationships, Sookie" he began. "One with a human no less is laughable."

Sookie frowned, vaguely wondering if he was making fun of her.

"So what is this?" she couldn't help but ask. "I can't do just sex, Eric." She didn't work that way.

Annoyance flickered across his features, "I do not solely see you as a warm body I wish to devour, Sookie."

She quirked a brow.

Eric flashed his fangs almost playfully, "Though clearly I would have no objection to pillaging you. You are worth so much more than every human combined, Lover, I would not object if you allowed our tense yet loyal friendship to expand into something more intimate between us."

That brought Sookie up short. "You want a relationship?" she asked bewildered, automatically coming to the conclusion that this must be some kind of manipulation on his part in order to bed her. Had she not kept the values firmly ingrained into her by her Gran, she had no doubt she would have slept with him straight away, but she was neither vain nor comfortable enough in her sexuality to do such a thing.

"Is that so much of a surprise?"

"Yes," Sookie responded immediately. "Since when have you wanted more than straight up sex?" she demanded, frustrated.

Silence.

"Since you rescued my maker."

That caused Sookie to freeze, their closeness once again becoming more apparent as she stared up at Eric's suddenly expressionless face. He had closed himself off again.

She sighed softly, reaching out to touch his cheek, the barest touch of fingertips, "And before?"

"I have no experience beyond than that of my human years of being involved in any relationship that required feelings other than lust, Sookie" Eric stared at her intensely. "I held no desire for anything more until you effortlessly won over my maker. It opened my eyes you could say."

Despite her best efforts not to, Sookie couldn't help but feel a small smile begin to form at her lips. She had no prior experience when it came to dealing with a less than crude Eric Northman, but while she was out of her element she couldn't help but savour the fact that he was trying.

She hadn't asked him to.

She hadn't expected it.

Still, "You're not just saying this to mess with my head, right?" she asked nervously. "Because when you're like this…if you hurt me, you understand our relationship will be ruined, right?"

"I am willing to take that risk."

He didn't hesitate; he was pleased she was willing to even consider it. Her own hesitation did not offend him; it was understandable when his previous actions towards her were taking into consideration. Looking back perhaps he could have taken to her in a different manner and avoided all this unnecessary talk.

Just kissing her once was enough to confirm their chemistry.

"I need to think about it."

Eric nodded, bending down to press his lips against her cheek in a surprisingly innocent gesture compared to what they had just been up to. Sookie blushed at the reminder, the fact she couldn't use the excuse of intoxication only making it worse.

"I will be waiting."
