A/N: I just wanted to thank all of you that reviewed and or favorited/followed the last chapter. I'm so sorry for the long wait, especially to those who reviewed and I told that I would be updating last weekend, I really thought I would be but it just wasn't possible. This chapter was really hard to write... I'm not sure why, by anyways I hope you all enjoy it and can forgive me for the super long wait.
Afternoon Surprises
"I bought you a present." He says the moment she slides into the seat across from him in the booth. He had sat down knowing she would take her lunch soon and figured spending a few minutes with her was better than nothing.
"Thanks…Is it a poster?" She asks cautiously as she fiddles with the rubber band holding together the rolled up paper.
"Open it up." He urges her, she gives him a queer look before rolling the rubber band up and off before unrolling the paper on the table.
"Wait is this…" She takes in the lines and dashes displaying the lower level rooms as well as the second floor rooms, her eyes glide over the paper inquisitively and he can't help when his leg twitches anxiously. What the hell? He looks down at his leg oddly, usually these types of movements are planned and purposeful, humans move/twitch/itch there's nothing statuesque about them. So when something is still too long it's an immediate warning sign to run for them. So his leg twitching without his permission is definitely odd. What could cause that? He wonders if it's Sookie's blood rushing through his system, sure he's drank from a Fae before even full Fae's but he's never let anyone drink from him. He looks at the petite blonde in front of him gnawing at her lip with an inquisitive look on her face.
"Blueprints." He adds helpfully, later I'll worry about it later. He moves the twitch to the back of his mind and instead focuses on her reaction. He wanted her to be excited, wanted her to feel happy that he was taking her into account in his plans.
"Holy… how? You already bought the property?" Her head whips up to look at him and he forgets how long these human milestones are supposed to take. He shrugs nonchalantly hoping she doesn't make a big deal about it.
"Yeah, I gave her a check a couple of days ago, it's all mine." It hadn't been that easy he had shelled out another thousand dollars for Charlie to expedite the process then he had to glamour the girl in order to make her forget he had paid in full.
"So this is it, this what it's going to look like?" She holds the paper up to examine it better, tilting her face.
"Do you like it?" He knew that while Jason preferred their parent's house, Sookie had only really thought of her grandmother's house as her home.
"This is my house." She adds after looking at it for a moment, her nose scrunching up in confusion.
"Yeah, I found the blueprints in the library I figured the style was nice, I plan to move around some stuff enlarge the dimensions… unless it bothers you." When he had found the blueprint he had thought he struck gold. She could have her own farm house, catered to fit her style and he assumed that the resemblance to her grandmothers house would be comforting to her. He had never thought that it might upset her.
"I don't mind." She finally adds with a smile and he realizes he'd been holding his, unneeded, breath while waiting for her response.
"Good." He searches their bond it's not very strong since he didn't let her drink much of his blood but it's there and he finds that her answer is sincere, she's happy and he can't help but be happy because of it.
"So how long is your lunch?" He viewed the sparse customers that lingered about the room and even though technically Arlene was on duty he could hear her chattering up a storm with Lafayette in the kitchen.
"Actually I'm off, Sam said he only needed one and well… Arlene needs the hours more." She shrugs her shoulders noncommittally as if it was no big deal. It was something he found interesting in little half Fae she was so eager to make sure other's needs came first and yet never thought much of it.
"So my plan to kidnap you and keep you from work is a no go?"
"Well you can still kidnap me." She gives him a flirtatious wink.
"Lets go." He doesn't even wait for her to reply before he's grabbing her hand and hauling her out of the bar. They head to his SUV it's a short walk despite the fact he parked at the edge of the property, but he likes how she leans into him, how his arm easily finds purchase around her waist and his hand slips just under her shirt. He's glad she doesn't push him away at his forwardness, but he can't help it, he needs her, he thought after tasting her his lustful thoughts would dampen a bit but last night proved that if anything they've increased by tenfold. He nuzzles her neck once they reach his car and he's opening the door for her, she pulls them behind the door and kisses him passionately.
"I missed you." She murmurs into his neck once they break the kiss.
"I missed you too. Come on lets go somewhere private?" She nods eagerly and he can't help himself when he eagerly pushes her into her seat and closes the door he runs to his side and pauses to make sure and put the blueprints in the trunk before getting in the drivers seat. She giggles at him and he can see the way her blond locks shine in the sun, she was so pretty, he grinned at her one last time before speeding out of the parking lot.
"It's a bit odd don't you think?" He had pulled a blanket that he had stashed in the back part of his "things a human might like" aid kit., and spread it on the grassy field and they were now currently lying on it. His kit included a variation of band-aids, water bottles, and other various knick knacks he had picked up at the store. He had made it after realizing how much time the pair of them spent out in nature. There weren't many things to do in a town like Bon Temps and Sookie herself was content with just being with him, still the outside world didn't offer quite the same comforts as a house so he made sure to be prepared.
"What is?" He toyed with her hair, loving how silky it was, she had pulled it out of the high pony tail she wore for work and it was now spread beneath her like some kind of halo.
"How there can be nothing one minute and then suddenly poof there's a house." She turns to look at him and inches closer to him, he wants to grab her leg and hitch it over his waist but he's sure that wouldn't be very gentlemanly and he doesn't want to push her after all she gave to him last night.
"Well the house isn't built yet." But it will be soon. He had made plans to visit Shreveport within the next couple of days, the wolf pack there seemed to be one of the tamer ones garnering most of their earnings from doing construction work for other supes, if the rumors were true they were the perfect group to assemble his house.
"Well duh, but I mean like I've seen this place my whole life it's been just another part of Bon Temps that was just grass and trees and now it's going to be where your house is. It's like it was waiting for you or something… I don't know don't mind me I'm being odd." She rolls her eyes at herself and he can see the light pink of her cheeks.
"I like you odd." She grins at him allows him to pull her closer, they were both lying on their sides now and finally, finally, she slips one of her legs between his so that they're completely intertwined.
"Well that makes one of us." She smiles up at him and kisses his cheek gently. She bites her lip and he knows that something is on her mind, before he can even ask she starts to talk. "You.. I mean.. you didn't leave marks on me." Her face flushes completely red and even if he hadn't heard her stumbling over her words he would be able to tell how embarrassed she was to ask such a thing.
"What do you mean?" He doesn't want to make her feel more self conscious but he does want her to be able to talk about these things without feeling like it's something that should be embarrassing. It's not, and he wants to help her feel more comfortable with it. So even though he knows what she's talking about he knows it better to let her talk about it, even if that means he has to play at being clueless.
"Last night you bit me but when I looked in the mirror it's like nothing ever happened." She absent mindedly touched the base of her neck as if she could feel his teeth still buried in her, Soft skin so pliant underneath him, her body arching up into him. His fangs throbbed and he had to suppress his fangs by grinding down his teeth, the image was so much potent because it had been just some dirty image he conjured up but rather was reality.
"When you drank my blood it healed them, it would of healed any other injury you had as well." He's a little bit too proud of himself that he's managed to say all that without dropping fang. What am I a new born, you would swear I've only been alive for a thousand years. He scoffs at himself because it's a little bit ridiculous what Sookie's reduced him to.
"Oh, I guess.. Can I see it next time? Is it morbid that I want to?" Her coy smile has him fighting for his control once more. He swears she's doing it on purpose, he can feel her hands tracing nonsensical patterns on his back and as they head down just on the edge where his skin can almost feel the heat of her fingers on his skin before the skim back up and start all over. Then there's her words. She wants his mark on her, wants to see the lingering proof of what he is on her. It's no surprise he's as hard as can be, everything about her is making him throb with need. Her smell of pure sunshine is enveloping despite the overlay lingering smell of the diner still sticking on her skin but it's a small nuisance that he easily overlooks, her small hands running down his back, and her words that she's almost whispering to him despite their complete isolation. It's almost too much for him.
"Next time I wont heal them I promise." It's a promise he wants to make good on, right now.
"Good." She states before pulling him down for a kiss, he doesn't know how or when she became so forward but he likes it. Likes how she arches into his touch, how her fingers thread into his hair, the little noises she makes when he touches her in just the right spot.
"Warlow." She sighs his name into his skin as he begins to kiss her neck. It's amazing how having his blood in her system can actually make this better. Every time he nips her skin he can feel her pleasure. Feel how lost she is, how much she enjoys his touch and it drives him mad. Drives him to want to make her feel more, feel better. He doesn't even realize when his hands have slipped into her work shorts but soon enough he's stroking her, touching her in place that he knows is his and no one else's despite what might have occurred in the past. She bits his earlobe and he touches her roughly, he can't help thrusting against her. She's so close and when she arches her head back and offers her neck to him he doesn't hesitate to bite.
Her blood flows into his mouth and he gulps it down like a drowning man gasping for air, her body coils and bursts and he can feel her being overpowered by too much sensation. Once she's ridden it out he pulls his fangs out of her and closes the wound. He's a bit surprised at how quickly she's pushing him onto his back but he doesn't even hesitate in helping her once she makes her intentions clear by unbuttoning his jeans. Once she's freed him she doesn't even hesitate this time before wrapping her hands around him, she grips him tighter like he showed her too and doesn't surprise him that after only a couple of strokes he's coming hard.
"Well talk about an afternoon delight." She giggles into his shirt, as he wraps is arms around her, enjoying just being able to breathe in her scent. After they cleaned themselves up Sookie had become very affectionate and he was enjoying basking in her loving touches and lingering kisses.
"I think we should spend all our afternoons like that." He adds with a grin enjoying the way her face flushed at his lustful gaze.
"I'm not going to object but I don't think Sam's going to let me out this early everyday." He lets his hands skim her stomach enjoying the way her shirt rode up and her negligence on fixing it. Her whole body felt alive, he could sense how every cell basically throbbed with life as the sun hit it, it was intoxicating.
"Ah well I could always convince him I'm sure." He would, he would do anything if meant she would spend more time with him, how pathetic, he might as well be a lovesick newborn but watching her blue eyes crinkle in delight and he knew he couldn't bring himself to care too much about it.
"I'm sure you can but lets not I do need the work after all." She laughs as he pouts at her, she might not take him up on her offer now, but he knew one day she just might.
"Alright, for now."
"Oh wait I almost forgot I have a proposition for you." She grins up excitedly up at him resting her chin on his chest.
"Well now you have me curious what kind of proposition is this." He gives her an inquisitive look and he can feel her squirm under his gaze.
"Um… you don't have to say yes if you don't want to I mean I know it might sound lame or something." She stumbles over her words and it's adorable to watch her face become pink with every word she utters.
"Come on Sookie what is it?" He prods her, a little worried about how hesitant she's being on asking him a simple question.
"Well you see it's since Bon Temps isn't big enough for actual movie theatre but sometimes the church funds a drive in movie type of deal, it's kind of a big deal the movies never good but Mrs. Jackson has like and old school popcorn machine that's amazing, so maybe you would want to go? With me?" He almost wants to laugh at her, she has worry in her eyes as if she's afraid he'll actually say no to her. A drive in is definitely not high on my to do list… then again having Sookie all to myself in and enclosed space at night could be very fun. In the end he knows it doesn't matter, if she wants to do it then he will do it for her.
"I do you think you're asking me out on a date Miss. Stackhouse." He grins at her and her face lights up with his answer.
"Well perhaps it is, it can be like our first real date." She gushes and starts peppering his face in kisses. He doesn't like the idea of dating necessarily, he's never imagined having to woo his intended so much before she was to accept him and become his bride, then again he supposes that was something he should of accounted for. It doesn't matter much to him really as long as Sookie is happy and by his side he didn't care were they spent eternity even if it was in Bon Temps because he knew in the end she would spend eternity with him, more importantly she would want to. He enjoys how genuinely happy she is to spend time with him, how much she wants him because for so long he wanted her and it feels deliciously good for those feelings to finally be reciprocated. So even if he had to deal with movies at the drive in or even going bowling yuck sometimes humans have the worst sense of enjoyment ever then he would do it to make her happy.
