AN: I apologizing for the posting delay. I attempted to write Pam and Sookie action but Eric said it wasn't going to happen. So this chapter is pretty mild just a little adult content in the flashback. Good news while I was fighting with Eric I got like the next four chapters written so they just need a little TLC and should be up soon.

*Flashback*

Sookie watched the Eiffel Tower light up from inside the balcony of the five star hotel Eric had surprised her for New Years. He was in France at the request of Sophie-Anne for a meeting with someone important in the European Vampire Hierarchy. She wasn't sure who, just that it was an old friend of Eric's. She was already dressed in a tight fitted floor length dark blue silk dress. The dress had a slit that

showed off her tan legs and a plunge halter neckline. There was a built-in bra and she had on a black lace thong. The dress showed just enough side boob to make it sexy. She had borrowed a pair of black strappy Jimmy Choo heels from Pam. She had on a pair of dangly 24k white gold earrings that Eric had bought for her in Italy. Her hair was down her back in loose curls and her makeup was finished. It was a very special night. She and Eric had agreed to complete the bond.

"What do you think?" She asked spinning around to show Eric her dress when got back from whatever meeting he'd had to go to earlier. She was pinned against the brick wall before she even knew what hit her. She wrapped her legs around him when he ran his hands under the dress and pulled the skirt up around her waist. He grabbed her under her ass, and lifted her off the floor. He pressed into her as he kissed down her neck. She held onto him. "You look stunning. Do we have time for a quickie?" He asked, slipping her thong to the side and sliding his finger against her clit. She moaned against the top of his head.

"Always." She moaned in his ear as he worked his fingers inside of her.

He pulled his fingers out of her and spun her around. He lifted her under her legs and she leaned back against his chest and wrapped her arm around his broad shoulder. "Look Lover, watch my big cock slide in and out of your tight pussy." He whispered in her ear. He had them positioned so that Sookie could see him sliding in and out of her in the full length mirror. It was sexy as hell watching him fuck her. She moaned loudly and came hard, throwing her head back against his shoulder. He came hard right after her. And rested his mouth against her throat, slightly kissing her. He lowered her to the floor and pulled her tightly in his arms.

"You're beautiful." He whispered in her ear.

An hour later, Eric held her hand as they walked into the fancy restaurant at the hotel. Pam met them down stairs.

They sat down and Eric ordered for her since the menu was in French. They had a really nice dinner. It was a cold and blustery night so they decided to stay in the hotel to bring in the new year. After Sookie ate, she and Eric danced. She was having a really great time. Just before midnight, she whispered to Eric to take her back to the room. He didn't waste any time. She had drunk almost an entire bottle of wine so she was slightly drunk. It became clear just how drunk she was when she tried to climb the enormous staircase to go back to their room. It was also a good thing Eric had such good reflexes or when she began to fall she would have gotten hurt, but Eric caught her and swept her up in his arms. He carried her the rest of the way to their room.

"Baby what time is it in Shreveport? I want to wish Gran a Happy New Year." Eric looked at his cell phone before tossing it to her. "It's around 6:00 am. Go ahead and call her. I'm going to go run you a bath.

Sookie dialed her cell phone number and smiled when Gran answered. "Happy New Year Honey." Gran said happily as she answered the phone.

"Happy New Year to you too Gran." Sookie smiled, not bothering to correct her that it still wasn't Midnight in France yet.

"How is Paris?" Gran asked. Sookie could hear the bacon sizzling in the background. "Oh Gran! It's beautiful. We're staying in a hotel that used to be a castle or something like that. I can see the Eiffel Tower from the balcony. Eric took me to a wonderful dinner tonight and we just got back from dancing. But we're leaving on the 4th. Late that night I think. So hopefully I can sleep. I still don't like planes." Sookie said as Eric walked back in the room. He sat at her feet and took them in his lap. He began unhooking the straps to help her take them off.

"Ok dear, I'll see you in a few days. Enjoy your trip." Gran said, hanging up quickly.

He removed the first shoe and began rubbing her foot. Sookie threw her head on the back of the couch. It felt like he had magic hands. She giggled when he kissed her big toe. He laughed and did the same thing to the other foot.

"If I stand up will you help me with the dress?" Sookie asked innocently. Eric let her go and she stood up. He stood behind her. He pulled her a little bit closer to him and gathered her long blonde hair in his hand. He threw it over one shoulder before leaning down and kissing her shoulder. He ran his hands up her belly and unhooked the strap. The dress fell around her feet and Eric lifted her up in his arms. He carried her in the bathroom and sat her in the large bath tub.

He had already started a fire in the fireplace and the bathroom was toasty and warm.

"Do you want a glass of wine?" He asked as he pulled his shirt over his head. Sookie nodded. "Just a little bit though. I'm already feeling that first bottle." She said as she sunk back into the bubbles. It was a special night. They had decided to complete their bond. Which meant Eric would drink from her then at the same time she would drink from him.

"The blood will take care of that." He said, handing her the wine glass as he slid behind her in the tub. She sat the glass down on the side of the tub and melted against him. He held her tightly against his chest. "I love you." She whispered. Eric kissed her shoulder. "I love you." He told her. He helped her spin around so she could straddle him. "Have you ever been bonded to anyone else?" She asked shyly? He shook his head no. "Sookie, in a 1000 years I've never wanted to spend eternity with one person. I can't imagine a life without you in it. I'm a monster, Sookie. My first instinct is to kill and ask questions later. But you made me want to be better. Someone who is worthy of your love." He kissed the side of her face as she buried her face in his chest as her eyes filled with tears.

"Eric, you're so much more than you give yourself credit for. I love how you know what I want before I even have to tell you. I love how you are with Gran. You've always been that way, from the moment you met her. I know you have to do things for work sometimes and to keep us safe but you are not a monster." Sookie took his face in her hands and hugged him tightly against her chest. Eric's fangs dropped into place.

"The blood exchange has to happen at the same time. I have to drink from you while you're drinking from me. I've been able to feel you since I gave you my blood the first night we met. After this you're going to be able to feel me too." Eric bit into his hand. She took it and drank deeply. His blood coated her tongue and slid down her throat. Eric bit gently into her neck. They both cried out as the bond formed. Eric pulled away from her just as the wound in his hand closed. Sookie fell limp against him as he laid back against the tub.

Sookie looked up at him with tears pooling in her eyes. He looked at her concerned. "I'm ok, that was amazing, it's just I can feel how much you love me." Eric smiled at her. "It's only just beginning."

*END FLASHBACK *

"You don't need to worry about anything. Just stay in the safe room until Godric or I come and get you." Eric whispered against the side of her face, as he kissed her.

"Eric, you killed a fairy this morning." Sookie said, in case he had forgotten.

"Everything will be fine." He promised her as he ran his hands down her body before pulling her against him. He bent down and kissed her again, this time slipping his tongue in her mouth. He let her go and turned around to leave. He closed the bathroom door behind him.

Sookie took a deep breath and got dressed. She did her hair and makeup. When she was fully ready she left the bathroom and sat on the couch. She grabbed her laptop and attempted to do some work but she had been gone for too long. Eric was going to have to get her caught up. Sookie glanced at the calendar. Christmas was in two weeks. She hadn't even started on her shopping. She didn't even want to think about that so she put the laptop down and went to check the cameras.

Godric and Eric were on the front steps talking to an older man. It was hard to make out his features but the conversation looked civil. A few minutes later Eric turned around and opened the door and came back into the house. Just as he left the older man vanished into thin air. Sookie figured Eric was coming to get her. She stood up and slipped on her flip flops to wait for him. A few minutes after that Eric's handsome face appeared in the door frame. He pulled her in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Lover, Niall just wants to meet you. We don't have anything to fear from him. He's going to meet us somewhere more neutral."

Sookie stayed behind Eric on the way downstairs. She wasn't happy to meet her great however many times grandpa. If it was anything like her meeting with Finton it would just cause more heartbreak.

Even human, Eric must have sensed her reluctance. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her forward.

"It will be ok, Lover, he left. To give us a chance to talk to you first." Eric reassured her. She relaxed a little bit after that. Eric led her into the kitchen, where Godric was sitting at the table drinking a glass of blood. He smiled at her slightly.

"Can you tell me what happened here today?" Godric asked Sookie. He wasn't asking about the sex marathon between her and Eric or if they had enjoyed their day. He wanted to know about the pile of fairy dust in the hallway outside of the living room.

She looked at Eric.

"I already filled him in on what I know. What I didn't tell you at the time. I couldn't hear what either of you were saying. It was as if there was a barrier. I never would have known if I hadn't decided to follow you upstairs." Sookie looked at him truly terrified.

"I saw what was happening and ran for the sword. I couldn't even enter the room until I had the sword in my hand."

Sookie started to cry, realizing how close she really had been to being taken.

Eric held out his arms and she leaned against him.

"She waited until I stepped away from Eric. I don't think she knew he wasn't a vampire. It was really fast. She just started yelling at me because Eric and I had…. You know. She said I had ruined their plans and Mab would kill us both. She was trying to pull on me, like she was dragging me somewhere. I screamed then Eric came in with his sword and pulled me behind him and killed her." Godric looked at them both.

" Have you ever seen her before?" He asked.

"It was Claudine, the one who took me to Fairy." Sookie said.

"Claudine was Niall's granddaughter. I need to inform him of this." Godric said, pulling out his cell phone.

"Sookie, would you be opposed to meeting Niall in Bon Temps? Eric and I would both be with you."

Sookie felt like she was drowning. She shoved her hands in her pockets to hide the fact that they were shaking.

"I guess not." She said. Eric wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

She leaned against him. She was completely exhausted. All she wanted to do was go back upstairs and sleep.

Godric walked outside when Niall answered. Sookie couldn't understand much of the conversation anyway because they were speaking in a different language.

Eric ran his hand down her back.

"Are you sure you're ok?" He asked, pulling her in his arms. Sookie looked up at him and broke down crying. She shook her head no and let him hold her.

"Min kärlek, it's fine, you are going to be fine. I'll be right there the whole time. I may not be as strong as I was a few days ago but I'd still die for you." Sookie cried harder.

"I don't want that either! Ever!" She sobbed against his chest. Eric held her.

"Why are you so upset?" Eric asked her, running his fingers through her hair.

"I don't want to meet Niall. Even Finton didn't want us to meet and the Farmhouse is so close to the portal." she pulled away from him and sat down on one of the kitchen chairs.

"It feels like my chest is caving in. It hurts to breathe." she said. She clutched at her hair. Sweat was starting to bead up on her forehead. Sookie stood up and grabbed her stomach. She took off running. She ran as fast as she could to the bathroom. She barely made it before the vomiting started.

Eric ran after her. He kneeled behind her and held her hair with one hand and rubbed her back with the other. When she was done she fell back against him.

"Feel better?" he asked, wetting her a washcloth to put on her forehead. She looked up in his blue eyes. They were full of concern and she let herself get lost in them.

A knock at the door startled her. Eric slid her over before Godric opened the door to check on them.

"What's going on?" Eric looked up at him. He was very worried.

"I think I just got a little overwhelmed. Can I make a sandwich before we go?" Sookie asked, using Eric to try to stand up. She failed and fell back against him. Eric touched her forehead and looked at Godric.

"She's burning up." Eric picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom. He sat down on the couch with her in his lap.

"I feel better." She moaned, laying her head down on his shoulder.

Eric looked at Godric.

Godric shook his head.

"It's too soon. It's not the bond. If anything she's having a little bit of withdrawal from the blood. You were giving her blood pretty much every day?"

Godric asked.

"Yes, she needed it . I suppose her body really hasn't skipped a day without it in weeks." Eric kissed the top of her head.

"Are we any closer to breaking the curse?" Eric asked him.

"I'm going to go make a sandwich now." She mumbled after a few minutes and lifted her head off of his shoulder.

Godric nodded at Sookie and waited until she had left the room to answer Eric.

"I did some research. The witch that placed it either has to lift it or die. I'm trying to arrange a meeting with her. A peace agreement, but she doesn't seem willing to negotiate. We could face major backlash from the Authority if vampires attack her. For now we are stuck." A loud crash in the kitchen caused them both to run. Sookie was lying on the kitchen floor, with tears streaming down her cheeks, clutching her knee to her chest. Eric ran over to her and pulled her against him. He ran his hand over her cheek.

"I slipped. I was trying to get a plate down and my knees gave out." Eric placed his hand over hers and kissed her forehead.

Eric carefully helped her to her feet.

"Let's stop and get something on the way." Eric suggested. He was watching her carefully. Her hands were shaking. She was pale. She looked sick.

"It's ok I'm not hungry anymore, can I just get a bottle of water?" Eric let her go long enough to grab a cold water from the fridge and open it for her. Her hands were shaking so much that she could barely hold it. Eric took the bottle from her hands and held it for her while she drank. Eric looked at Godric.

"Do you have any vials of blood put back for emergencies?" Eric nodded and kissed Sookie on the forehead before sitting the bottle on the counter and running to get it.

"Godric? Am I dying? I feel really bad." Godric helped Sookie to a chair.

"No, not yet at least. You've had a lot of Eric's blood. It's acting as a drug in your system. I think it's part of the spell. It's meant to cause Eric pain. Can you imagine anything more painful for him than for you to need his blood and him be unable to give you any?" Sookie grabbed his hand.

"Don't tell him! Please. I'll be fine." Sookie pushed herself to her feet and swayed back and forth before Godric made her sit back down.

"He already knows." Godric said as Eric ran back in the room carrying a vial of blood.

" Let me smell it before you give her any. We need to make sure it's still vampire blood." Eric handed Godric the vial. He wrapped his arms around Sookie and held her against him.

Godric opened the vial and smelled it before closing it and sitting it on the counter and shaking his head.

"It's human." He said looking at Eric who was wiping the sweat from Sookie's face with a wet paper towel.

Eric looked at him frantically.

" What am I supposed to do? You have to give her a drop of your blood. It has to be you. I don't even know if Pam's would work." Godric dropped his fangs and pricked his finger. A drop of blood pooled on the surface. He squeezed the finger to get just a tiny bit more and grabbed a straw from a dispenser on the counter. He scooped the tiny drops of blood in the end of the straw.

Before he could give it to Sookie her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she began to convulse in Eric's arms. Eric held her tightly to keep her from hurting herself and lowered them on the floor. Godric sat down beside them.

"Try to open her mouth a little." Godric said. When Eric did Godric stuck the straw in her mouth and let go of the end he was holding on to so the blood dropped in her mouth. Eric held her a few more minutes until she calmed down. Her eyes fluttered open. She looked up into Eric's eyes. He looked down at her. She could hear the turmoil he was going through. Godric was right the witches couldn't have hurt him worse than if they had gutted him. She struggled to sit up and placed her hand on his cheek.

"I feel better." She said, trying to get up on her feet. Eric held onto her to keep her from falling. He stood up with her and pulled her against him.

"We need to go. Niall will be waiting." Godric said.

Eric lifted Sookie up in his arms and followed Godric when he left the room.

"I flew so I could ride back with the two of you." Godric said once they were outside.

Eric opened the back door of the new Honda Pilot that had just been delivered for Sookie. She hadn't even rode in it yet. He sat her carefully down on the seat and kissed her softly before closing the door and climbing in front.

The three of them sat in a comfortable silence on the way to Fangtasia.

"What's going to happen now that Godric gave me his blood? Am I going to have dreams about him." Eric still hadn't said a word but Sookie could hear his thoughts and even though he didn't think in a language she understood she could feel his pain.

"Lover, it was necessary to make you more comfortable. Hopefully once the curse is broken you'll began to feel better." Eric said.

"I don't know that it will Sookie. I gave you a very small amount." Godric said as Eric pulled into Fangtasia. He drove around to the employees entrance and parked in his parking space by the back door. They got out and Eric helped Sookie out of the car. They held hands as they walked in the back door of the club to their office. Sookie felt Niall before she saw him. He gave off so much power that she instantly knew she was about to meet someone very important. She was terrified. Godric gave her a reassuring glance. Eric tightened his arm around her. He was as nervous about this as she was.

He was waiting

for them inside of the office.

"Hello Sookie." Niall said as they entered the room.
