Chapter 10

Eric stood up from the booth and started pacing. Preston remained seated, concentrating on keeping Felipe and Victor subdued. His frustration and hunger was evident, however, as he was drumming his fingers on the table and staring at me with lust and passion in his eyes. I could tell that both he, and of course Eric, were having an extremely difficult time keeping their fangs off me. I hoped that Preston's assistant Nolan would be arriving quickly with the three girls, even though the prospect of watching a veritable vampire/human orgy definitely didn't appeal to me at all. At that moment, Eric's phone started vibrating. As he read the text, an expression of relief came over his face.

"Bill and Pam will be here in less than thirty minutes. They have already gotten into a taxi and left the airport." Eric said.

Instantly, Preston's face changed to one of pure joy and excitement.

"Well, it looks like I might get to have some real fun tonight after all" Preston said, looking at Eric gleefully "you know how much Pam and I like to play."

Eric nodded, the corners of his lips forming into a small smile. I shuddered to think at what Preston meant by play.

"We still have to figure out what we want to do with Felipe and Victor once they've fed. Do you think they still pose a threat?" Eric asked Preston, avoiding my gaze.

"Once they have been satisfied, I will place them in a guarded room. They will stay there during the daylight hours. We can't know for sure what his plans are based on tonight's actions so we will have to question De Castro further tomorrow night. I am not worried though. We have the advantage." Preston said, and looked at the two hypnotized vamps in disgust.

I really needed to talk to Eric and let him in on what I heard from Felipe's thoughts, but I couldn't say anything within earshot of Preston or any other vampires. It didn't seem likely that privacy would be an option for the rest of the night; Preston had indicated that we would all be staying together until just before sunrise. What his plans were, I didn't ask. It is possible that he simply wanted us all to strategize and discuss the political implications of De Castro's visit, but I doubted it.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Nolan enter the restaurant with the three women in tow. They were all dressed in expensive looking red lace lingerie covered only by long, sheer black robes. Gross. I had at least expected them in normal clothes. Instead of looking at the women, though, Preston simply looked at me. I couldn't gage Eric's expression from where I was sitting, he was still pacing around, but I could feel his tension building.

"Darling, am I correct in assuming that you have not witnessed anything like this before?" Preston asked me, a curious expression on his face. I nodded, expressionless. He continued "since I like you so much, you gorgeous creature, I will give you a choice. I can either place a mild seduction over you so that you enjoy what you see and participate" he looked at Eric with a grin "which I assure you would please Mr. Northman very much whether he admits it or not." I glanced at Eric, who appeared to be running his hands through his hair and fighting with himself for control.

Preston then paused for a moment, clearly enjoying himself immensely. He licked his lips, eyed me mischievously, and then said: "or you and Eric may make the use of my private room in the back. I will not allow you to leave the bar, however, until Eric's servants arrive and we have attended to other things. Know that I would really like to have some fun with you and your Viking, but I will only have it happen with your consent. Do understand, honey, that I offer you a great compliment by not simply taking what I want." Preston finished, his face becoming flush with hunger and impatience.

I could tell that Preston was losing his concentration, as a haze of heat and lust started permeating the air in the room and I was finding it difficult to hold myself together. Eric had actually started rocking back and forth on his feet from the torture of his self-restraint. I suddenly wanted to run over to him and straddle him in the middle of the floor. I was becoming terribly aroused; I had to cross my legs to stop the pulsing I was feeling from my groin. A bead of sweat formed on my neck, and ran down the neckline of my stress through my breasts which Preston caught on a fingertip and licked up instantly. I had to touch Eric, I had to kiss him and feel him on top of me now. I needed him to fulfill his hunger; it was eating me up from inside through the bond and driving me crazy.

I suddenly didn't care who was watching and what the other vamps did with the model-donors. I had to get out of this booth and take Eric inside me or I was going to go insane with desire. My nipples hardened in my dress, and Preston instantly eyed me like a lion stalking its prey. He reached over and held my face in his hand for a moment, while beckoning for Nolan to bring the models closer. As they walked towards the booth, ambient music started blaring through the bar's speakers. I noticed Victor and Felipe rouse a little from their haze as though they could smell the approaching flesh. Eric was looking at me, in clear pain, though with incredible passion. I could actually see his arousal from the booth. The models stopped right in front of me. Preston stood up and whispered something to a dark-haired woman, who grabbed one of the twins and started kissing her. Preston looked me in the eye and held out a hand for me to stand up. I obeyed, and noticed Eric started walking towards us slowly. All four of the vampires' fangs were extended, and the three models were caressing one another wildly. When Eric was near enough to touch, Preston went over to him and licked his neck. Eric simply stood rooted in place, while looking at me intensely. Then something in his expression caught me off guard, and it was just enough to waken me from the haze. Snap out of it, Sookie.

"Thank you for being so considerate, Preston. I think that just for tonight, I would prefer to spend some time alone with Eric." I walked over to Eric and he lifted me up. Securing my legs around his waist, we started walking towards a little hallway which I assumed led to Preston's back room.

"Don't have too much fun without me." Preston called to us as we walked away. I didn't look back to see his expression.

We made it partway through the dark hallway, and Eric stopped to put my back up against the wall.

"Lover, I cannot wait any longer. I have been holding back with all my strength; having you in my arms, smelling your scent, I must have you now." He said and kissed me furiously.

"Eric, we can't do this…here…" I attempted to say, while rubbing my hands all over him.

"No one can see us, no one will interrupt." Said Eric, while running his fangs over my neck and licking me hungrily.

"You said Preston wouldn't seduce us!" I said, attempting to sound stern through my unbelievable arousal and frustration.

"It wasn't just him; it was everyone's combined need that you felt. Sookie, he gave you a choice." Eric said, while pulling my dress up to my waist.

I couldn't argue any further. We were completely out of view from the main restaurant, and I had never been so turned on in all my life and suspected I never would be again.

"Oh Eric, I want you so bad. I love you, I don't care. Just do it, do it now." I said, pulling him closer to me with all my strength.

Eric had undone his pants and pushed my panties to the side in a fraction of a second. While holding me to the wall, he thrust inside me and growled a loud, pained sound into my mouth. "Oh Sookie, lover, I need you, I love you." He said, while pushing in and pulling out quickly. "Look at me" he said in a strained voice. EricyesIloveyouyeslikethatohgodyesyesyes.

I put my hand in between us and starting rubbing my nub as he looked into my eyes. "Eric" I said to him "I want us to come together."

The intense passion of the moment was making me weak with need and I knew I was going to release quickly. He looked at me with his blazing blue eyes and starting entering me faster. Keeping me pinned in place, he bit my neck and sucked a little with each thrust. "You taste amazing lover, you feel amazing." Eric said; his voice laced with sex.

Oh Eric please. Please oh Eric Eric Eric please.

We were getting closer, Eric was moaning uncontrollably as he entered me and drank from me, and I was convulsing with the building pressure all through my body. I knew in a few seconds we would both climax and I had never wanted anything so bad in my life.

I looked up from Eric's gaze for just a second, to see Bill standing near the entrance of the hallway.
