Sookie found it impossible to go back to sleep. She was crying quietly into her pillow scared she was going to wake up Gran. She jumped when she heard a soft tap on the window. She looked over and saw Eric hovering outside her bedroom window. Wiping her eyes, she got out of bed and went to the window to let him in. She felt better instantly once she was in his arms, pressed against his chest. He tangled his fingers in her hair, held her tight, and tilted her back so he could kiss her.
"What happened?" He lifted her in his arms and carried her back to bed. He laid her down and took off his suit, he threw the clothes over the desk chair and climbed in bed beside her. He held his arms out for her and she laid on his chest.
"It's stupid, really, it's probably just being here. I had a dream, well it wasn't a dream it really happened. My mama hated me, Eric. I heard things I wasn't supposed to. I didn't know how to control it." Eric was rubbing her back.
"Sookie, look at me, she's not worth your tears. You were a child with a gift you had no control over. " Eric tilted her head up and wiped her cheek with his thumb.
"Was there a reason you were trying to reach me earlier? Pam's ordering me a new phone. The office phone didn't survive interrogating Compton. I'm almost 100% sure the Queen sent him for you." Sookie looked up at him.
"How? We' been so careful?" Eric shook his head.
"I don't know Lover. But I had a call insisting on the release of Bill Compton. I haven't done it yet as I haven't talked to her."
"What kind of trouble could you actually get into if you don't?" He was the strongest vampire she knew. It was hard to believe anything could actually hurt him.
"Don't worry about it right now. Try to get some rest. I'll stay as long as I can." Eric kissed her. Sookie moaned and went limp in his arms. He laughed and carefully moved so she was laying on her belly. His talented fingers began to massage her muscles. It didn't take her long to drift off to sleep. Eric leaned over and kissed her softly.
"Eric?" She mumbled in a sleepy voice.
"I love you." He ran his fingers through her hair. "I love you too." He whispered in her ear as he slid out of the bed and got dressed. He didn't have time to make it all the way to Shreveport so he went to ground in the cemetery just a few hundred feet from Sookie.
*Flashback*
It had been almost a month since she'd met Eric. Sookie slowly finished applying her lipstick. She rubbed her lips together and smacked them when she was done. She backed away from the mirror and looked at the sexy sheer white bra and panties she was going to wear under her dress. It left absolutely nothing to the imagination. She was going to give herself to Eric tonight. He'd been nothing but patient with her. She slipped on the silky white slip dress with the lace overlay. It stopped just above her knee. She pulled the clip from her blonde hair and shook her curls free. She packed up her stuff and opened the bathroom door. She walked down the hallway to Eric's office and softly knocked on the door.
"Come in." He yelled through the door. She turned the door knob and walked into his office quietly in case he was on the phone.
When he saw her he smiled at her and put his pen down. He stood up and walked around the desk and pulled her in his arms.
"You look stunning. Give me two minutes , I have to finish up this report and I'll be ready." She smiled at him sweetly.
"Ok." Eric gave her a quick kiss on the lips. She sat down on his couch and crossed her legs. It took him exactly two minutes to finish his paper work. He threw his pen down on his desk and stood up. He sat beside Sookie on the couch and placed his hand on her knee where they were crossed.
"You ready?" She nodded as he stood up and took her small hand in his.
She smiled as he pulled her to her feet. He looked down at her as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her to him. Sookie felt him press against her. She felt herself tingling in anticipation. She wanted him. Sookie wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers through his hair. He kissed her gently before pulling away.
"Not here." He whispered against her lips. It was taking every ounce of self control he had not to throw her on his desk and take her right there. She smiled at him as he led out of the video store to his car. He opened her door so she could slip in.
"Where do you want to go? Do you want get something to eat first? I had some food delivered to the house for you." He cranked up the car and pulled onto the highway.
"I ate something a little earlier." She took his hand and laid her head against his shoulder. It was the first quiet she'd had all day.
Eric rested his hand on her knee as he drove.
It only took a few minutes to pull up to Eric's house. She opened her eyes as he opened the garage door and drove in. She looked around and smirked at him when he opened her door. He had six other cars in the garage besides the one they were in.
"The minivan is Pam's" he whispered as he pushed her up against the car and kissed her hungrily. She moaned into the kiss and wrapped her legs around him. He kissed down her neck and licked back up to her ear. She cried out as he cupped her under her bottom and lifted her against the car. She wrapped her legs around him placing his huge bulge right where she desperately wanted it.
"Eric." She moaned. He ran his hands under the bottom of her dress over her ass. He let out a grunt when he felt her bare bottom. Eric carried her in the house and up the stairs. He kissed her and set her down so he could open a set of double doors that led into the most beautiful bedroom she had ever seen. There was an enormous bed with black silk sheets. Eric lifted her in his arms and carried her through the door. By the bed the was a sitting area with a black leather loveseat and matching leather couch. Eric sat down on the loveseat and pulled her in his lap. He kissed her while his hands explored her body. Sookie was breathless. She threw her arms around his neck. He unzipped the back of her white dress and let it fall to her waist. He hissed at the sight of her white sheer bra. He stood up and sat her feet down, letting the dress fall to the floor. He lifted her back up in his arms and carried her over to the bed and laid her down.
"You are so beautiful." He laid down beside her and kissed her belly. She felt herself turn twenty shades of red. He must of felt her nervousness because he stopped.
"Sookie your body is perfect, don't be ashamed or scared. " he reassured her.
"Will it hurt? " Eric shook his head and ran his hand down her body. He slipped his hand into her panties and slowly brushed her clit with his fingers. She gasped and clutched the neck of his shirt. He bent down and kissed her.
"I'll make sure you don't feel any pain." He whispered against her lips. He reached for both of her arms and placed them on the bed over her head. He leaned up and pulled his shirt off. He kissed her slipping his tongue in her mouth and . Sookie eagerly kissed him back. His kisses made her light head and gave her butterflies. She had to remind herself to breathe. Eric broke their kiss and tilted her neck back so he could kiss her neck. He sucked lightly on the side of her neck. Sookie tried to rub herself against him to get some friction where she wanted it most. He kissed down her neck and growled when his face was level with her breasts.
"So beautiful." He whispered licking her nipple through the sheer fabric of her bra. "I could play with your breasts all night." He took both breasts in his hands and pushed them together. He pulled her up slightly to get to the clip on her bra and unhooked it. He helped her slide it off and threw it behind him on the floor. He sucked her nipple between his lips and rolled and pinched the other until both her nipples were pebbled and pink. She was soaking wet. He was driving her crazy. She grabbed the side of his face and pull him to look up at her. She was panting trying to catch her breath. He had her so turned on.
"Eric please." She begged. Eric smiled at her. And tangled his fingers in her hair. "Soon first we have to make sure you're ready. I'm big Sookie. I don't want to hurt you." She fell back against the bed and he returned to her breast. He rolled off of her on to his side. He slid his hand down her body and cupped her pussy in his hand and gently squeezed. He worked his fingers under the hem of her thongs. He started to rub her clit with two fingers while he sucked on her nipple. It didn't take her long to come once he started rubbing her clit. Her toes curled and she threw her head back and squeezed his shoulder trying to suppress her scream and keep her pelvis on the bed.
Once she calmed down she looked over at him.
"Why?" She asked afraid he was going to stop. She wanted him so badly it hurt.
He kissed her. "I'm not done. But you needed to that. Have you ever even touched yourself before?" She shook her head no. "I couldn't after….." she refused to say it. That nasty old man wasn't going to ruin the most amazing night of her life. Eric looked down at her with understanding. "Do we need to stop?" He asked her brushing her hair out of her eyes.
"Please don't." She was on the verge of crying. "Sookie look at me Lover. I didn't make you come to not make love to you. I made you come so you can relax." She looked at him. It was the first time he had called her Lover and it made her insides tingle. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to kiss her. He kissed her back and started to play with her pussy again. He touched her entrance with the tip of his finger. He lightly pushed in just the tip. He kept kissing her and gently pushed his finger in deeper until he hit her barrier.
"You're so tight." He said removing his finger and gently sliding it back in. He kissed her lips one last time before kissing down her chest to her belly. He licked around her belly button and kissed down to where his finger was buried in her. He licked her clit and she threw her head back. He used her come and spread the wetness. He tried to add a second finger but she was still to tight. He had to get at least two in before he could hopefully keep his promise not to hurt her. He sucked on her clit and kept working his finger in and out. Sookie grabbed his head and held on. She was close to coming off the bed again. He sucked her clit in his mouth and was finally able to work a second finger in her. He started to lick her pussy vampire speed while he fingered her. She was clutching the sheets with both hands, moaning loudly, and arching her back. When she was wet enough. He kissed his way back up her body and claimed her lips.
"You taste amazing." He said licking his finger.
"You ready?" She nodded her head against his. He stood up and dropped his pants and boxers. His huge dick slung free and she gasped thinking he could rip her in half. Eric parted her knees and laid back down on top of her. He rested his palm on the side of her cheek.
"It may hurt for just a minute. If it's to much just tell me. I'll stop." He took his dick in his hand and rubbed it against her a few times. "Eric!" She moaned. He pressed the head against her opening and slowly pushed in her. Sookie suddenly understood why he'd taken his time. She tried to relax but she couldn't help but whimper as he pushed in until he could go no further. He held still and let her body adjust. His ran his hand up her neck and held the back of her head under her ear. He looked her in the eyes.
"You ready?" He asked barely above a whisper.
"Yes!" Eric leaned down and kissed her at the same time he pushed inside of her as far as he could. She screamed into his kiss. He moaned as he pushed inside taking her in a way no one else ever could. She felt amazing. He wanted to keep going but stopped and let her adjust to his size. A single tear slid down her cheek. He wiped it away with his finger. "Are you ok?" He kissed her gently. It took her a minute. "Keep going." She said once the burning had stopped. He began to move easy at first until she relaxed and he could tell it wasn't hurting her anymore. Sookie began to moan. The pain had turned into something wonderful. She wrapped her arms around his neck she wanted him close. "Faster." She panted. He grabbed her by the hips and began to speed up. He stood up on the floor to give himself better leverage. He covered her breasts with his hands. Sookie felt a tightness in the bottom of her stomach. She screamed as she came out of nowhere. Eric kept going, he was hitting her g spot on every thrust. He exploded inside of her and fell on the bed beside her. He pulled her in his arms and held her until she drifted off to sleep. Eric lifted her in his arms and pulled the covers down on the bed. He laid her back down and climbed in beside her. He pulled her back in his arms and laid her head on his chest. Eric knew he was in trouble. In a 1000 years she was the first woman he'd ever loved. He kissed the top of her head and just enjoyed holding her close.
*End Flashback*
Sookie woke up the next morning around 8:30 to the smell of fresh bacon that she could hear frying. She stretched and got up. The first thing she noticed was Eric's suit that was still laying across the back of the chair. She carefully picked the very expensive suit up and grabbed a hanger from her closet to hang it up. She hung it back in her closet, knowing he had probably gone to ground close by and he'd need his clothes that night. Sookie walked across the hall to the bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. She grabbed a T-shirt and a pair of jean shorts and threw them on. She threw her hair up in a ponytail and headed downstairs to the kitchen.
"Good morning Dear." Gran greeted her with a smile.
"How did you sleep?" Sookie caught herself just in time before she said. 'Much better once Eric got here.' She smiled at her Gran.
"I slept great." While Gran liked Eric and supported Sookie 100% in whatever choices she made. Gran was still old fashioned and that meant she didn't necessary approve of them living together. Sookie was scared she'd have another stroke if she found out Eric came back after everyone was in bed.
"Good, good dear." Gran handed Sookie a big plate of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. Sookie sat it on the table and went to fix her a cup of coffee.
"Are you coming for dinner tomorrow? Around 1:30?" Sookie nodded.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." She sat her coffee down and bent over and kissed her Gran on the cheek.
"What are your plans for today?" Sookie smiled at her.
"Well I thought about going to Merlottes for lunch to see Tara and Lafayette. Was there something you needed me to do while I was here?" Gran shook her head.
"No dear. I just didn't know when you were going to leave to go home." Sookie looked at her Gran.
"Eric dropped me off so I don't have a car. I'll have to wait until Eric picks me up." Sookie said taking a bite of her eggs. They were soft and fluffy, cooked to perfection in bacon grease.
"It's alright, you know how much I love having you home." Sookie smiled as she took another bite.
"This is so good Gran."
"I'm glad you're enjoying it dear. Would you mind helping me clean up in the cemetery this morning? The weeds are taking over." Sookie ate the last bite of her food and sat her fork down on her plate.
"Of course I'll help you. Gran can I ask you a question?" Sookie would never dream of letting her go out there by herself in the summer heat.
"Why did Mama hate me so much?" She couldn't help the tears that welled up in her eyes any more than she could stop them from falling. Gran got up and moved her chair closer to Sookie and pulled her into her arms. Sookie cried in her arms and let Gran console her the way she did when Sookie was a child.
"Oh honey, I never cared for your mother. When your daddy brought her home I actually begged him to take her back where he found her. She was very selfish. Corbet was a lot like your brother and quite the ladies man. The only reason he married her was because she got pregnant with Jason. She tried to hide her crazy and her running around but she was about as discreet as a whore in church on Sunday. The first time you told us she was cheating on your daddy she took you into town and left you. She came home and told your daddy you had pulled away from her and ran in the woods and she couldn't find you. You were three years old. Bud Dearborn found you and brought you home, herI was working but you're Grandaddy was here. You were so terrified. Your Grandaddy loaded you up in his truck and brought you to me at work. He was on his way to go find your daddy and that was the last anyone ever saw him. We tried to protect you from her dear but she had a meanness in her and she took it out on you because she couldn't hide it from you." They were both sobbing by the time Gran was finished.
"The last thing I ever heard from her," Sookie touched her head. "Just before she left that day she thought it right at me. She was planning to drown me in the creek." Gran kissed the top of her head.
"I'm so sorry honey." They cried and talked until nearly lunch time. Gran decided to skip going to the cemetery today. Around 4:00 Sookie decided to take Gran to Merlottes for dinner. Sookie wasn't going to dress up. The owner was a Shifter and Eric got territorial. It didn't help the way Sam looked at her every time she went in there.
It took them about twenty minutes to get there and sit down. Jason was there with Hoyt and Arlene's newest boyfriend Rene. Gran stopped by to say hello.
"Rene, this is my sister, Sookie." Jason said introducing them.
"Is you dee one engaged to dee vamp?" Rene looked directly at the humongous princess cut diamond engagement ring that Eric had given her.
"Damn" Sookie turned and went to find a table. She patted Hoyt on the shoulder as she went by. Gran followed her.
"Sookie, don't let him bother you. " Gran said taking her seat as Arlene sat down two sweet teas. She hugged Sookie.
"Sookie Stackhouse! I'm mad at you. I haven't seen you since before Thanksgiving."
"Hey Arlene. I'm sorry I don't get to Bon Temps much except to visit with Gran." It was true most days she slept until about lunch time unless she had a meeting. The rest of her day was spent paying bills, payroll for Fangtasia, or errands for Eric and Pam that needed to be done during the day.
"Well you should come around more." Sookie smiled.
They spent the next four hours at Merlotte's. It was dark when they left. When they pulled back up to Grans house Eric was already waiting for them on the porch swing. Sookie got out the car and wrapped her arms around his neck when he hugged her and held on tightly.
"Sookie thank you for spending the day with me. I'll see you tomorrow for dinner. I'm going to go inside and get ready for bed." Gran said opening the door.
"Eric, take good care of my granddaughter." Eric kissed the top of Sookie's head.
"Always." Eric promised smiling.
"Goodnight Gran," Sookie rested her head against Eric's chest.
"I missed you today." Sookie mumbled against his chest once they were alone. He had showered recently. His hands dropped to her hips and he grabbed her ass and pulled her against him.
"Sookie, I have to tell you something." He buried his nose in her hair an inhaled deeply. She looked up at him.
"What?" It must be bad. He wouldn't look her in the eye.
"I have to free Compton tonight, there's nothing I can do about it, except defy a direct order from my queen." Eric let her go and turned around. He walked back into the woods and punched an old oak tree. He left a huge dent in the tree. Sookie walked up behind him and reached for his shoulder.
"Honey, I know you did everything you could."
He looked back at her before turning around and wrapping her in his arms.
"It isn't enough, not when I know he's responsible for your accident the other night." Sookie stood on her tip toes to kiss him. He cupped her face in his big hands and touched his forehead to hers.
"If I ever lost you." Sookie wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Don't talk like that, I'm sure you scared the fuck out of him. Eric can I see him before you let him go?"
