Our First Time

Hello! I know that y'all must be surprised. I have posted another chapter within a couple of weeks of the last week. Well, give or take a day or two. I had to post this earlier because of my job. I will be going to a training seminar and I will be gone for at least three weeks. I won't be working on the story during the time because I will be BUSY! I hope that y'all enjoy. Also, my future chapters will be beta'ed by nachelle . carrel. With her help, I will be able to post the chapters a lot sooner. I want to thank her for offering to help me to get the story posted in a timely manner.

As always, I want to thank each of you for reading, alerting, reviewing, and favoriting me and my stories. Y'all are wonderful! The story idea belongs to me but the characters belong to Charlaine Harris.

A/N: nachelle . carrel if you are reading this, I've sent you a private message. I'll check my messages again Tuesday.


"Your first time can't be here, Sookie. It shouldn't be here. You deserve better than this," he said as he gazed into my eyes.

Eric wanted to leave the bar but I didn't want this moment to end. He didn't want my first time to be in his bar. I can only assume that it's because he's been with others. That doesn't matter to me. It doesn't take anything away from Eric and I have. We can never have this moment again. I never expected to feel as I do but I do. I want this. I want this more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. I smiled as I returned his gaze. "There is no better than this. I don't want to stop. I want to be with you. I want my first time to be here with you," I whispered.

And he agreed. The feel of his kisses on my mouth and his hands as they explored my body was pure heaven to me. Not wanting to get off me, Eric was a whiz at removing my dress. Lying there in nothing but my pink, lace underwear, I suddenly became shy. No man, well vampire, has ever seen me this 'naked'. I tried using my arms to cover myself but Eric was having none of it. "No," he ordered. "Place your arms at your side."

I was scared out of my mind. I didn't know what to expect when he saw me naked for the first time. I know that I'm not the first woman that Eric has ever had and that's what scares me. What if I don't measure up? What if I disappoint him? There was only one way to find out. Nervously, I did as I was told. When I did, I could have sworn I heard him catch an unnecessary breath. "Stunning," he whispered. He trailed his finger over the top of my exposed breasts and said, "Absolutely stunning."

I breathily thanked him for the compliment. "I appreciate that."

"Always so polite," he stated. He slowly unhooked the front clasps of my bra and freed my breasts. The cold air caused my nipples to tighten but not for long. The feel of his lips wrapped around them was pure ecstasy. The way Eric was holding me, tasting my breasts, made me feel wanted and desired. He was craving me. His hands were exploring every curve of my body. He gripped my bottom. His fingers flicked over the lacy front part of my panties. His tongue flicked back and forth over my nipples. It was wonderful. He was soon kissing his way to my neck, giving it soft kisses and gentle bites. He'd seen most of me and now, it was my turn.

Whispering in his ear, I said, "Let me undress you." He quickly stood from my body and stared down at me. I soon followed suit, standing in front of him in nothing but my panties. I let my hand travel over his shirt before helping him take it off. I'd never seen a more beautiful man. My fingertips caressed his chest, brushing lightly over his nipples. I began to kiss his chest, wanting to return the favor that he'd so willfully done for me. I glanced at him just as my tongue flicked over his nipple. His gasp let me know that he liked it. I was suddenly very proud of myself.

"Yes, Lover," he whispered. "It felt very good." I began to plant soft kisses over his chest. His moans spurned me on. Though my hands were shaking, I began to unbutton his pants. He gently placed his hands over mine. "I can do this if you're nervous."

I shook my head no. "I want to. I can do this."

He placed his hands at his side and let me do as I wanted. My hands were no longer shaking as I slid his jeans over his magnificent butt and muscular thighs. I avoided looking at the massive bulge that was next to my face when I pulled his pants down to his feet. Without any prodding from me, he stepped out of them. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply before standing tall; not touching his underwear. My heart was thudding in my chest as I worked up my nerve. When I hurriedly pulled them down, I had to catch my breath when I saw his manhood. I'd never seen anything so intimidating in my life. With wide eyes and a gaping mouth, I looked up at him. I had no idea what to do with that thing. I've seen movies and pictures in magazines but I've never seen a man that was as well-endowed as Eric. I had a lot to say but nothing, not even a peep, would come out of my mouth.

He smiled at me and said, "Don't worry, my lover. This one's on me." He quickly removed my panties before lifting me in his arms and placing me on the couch. Being the lady that I am though, I crossed my legs and placed my hands on my knees and smiled ... nervously. He laughed. "That won't work, Sookie." He removed my hands from my knees and placed them on the couch. He was soon kneeled in front of me and in between my legs.

When his mouth captured mine, I began to relax. He wrapped his arm around my waist before pulling my body close to his, to the edge of the couch; his hardness pressing against the flatness of my stomach. He continued to kiss me, my lips, my neck. He took each nipple into his mouth. The ecstasy from only the feel of his mouth drove me to distraction. I arched my back and begged him to take more of me.

"This pleases you." I could hear the assholery and arrogance in his voice but I didn't care because he was right. It pleased me.

"Yes," I moaned loudly.

He was smiling as he kissed his way down my stomach. When he kissed his way to the top of my sex, my body slid further down the couch. Though I wanted him to, he didn't touch it. He kissed around it. On top of it. He kissed and licked my thighs. He lightly kissed the lips of my wetness and I groaned. When he kissed the tip of my nub, I spread my legs wider; practically begging him to do more to me. "Oh, God," I cried out. That's all it took for him to take what he wanted. The tip of his tongue spread my lips even more. I gripped the edges of the couch and melted into his mouth. He sucked each lip before kissing his way to my pearl. His tongue massaged me in ways I've never known. I was wet and ready for him to make love to me but I didn't want him to stop. I gently held onto the sides of his face as I moved against his mouth. His hands were soon cupping my bottom; pulling me closer to his mouth. "I'm cumming, Eric!"

His fingers soon joined his mouth in pleasuring me… one, then two. The more he worked his fingers in and out of me, the more I bucked against him. Just as I came, he bit into my thigh. I screamed out in pleasure. He inserted another finger and it drove me over the edge. I bucked even more. Tears fell from the corners of my eyes. My heart was pounding in my chest. I didn't realize that he was kissing his way up my body until he reached my mouth. I could taste my blood and my juices in those kisses. "Do you want more, Sookie?" he asked as he repositioned my body on the couch, his fingers still inside me.

Staring into his eyes, I answered, "Yes, please."

My politeness got a chuckle out of him once again. He began to rub the head of his massive member over my nub. Fear thundered through me at the very thought of him being inside of me. He leaned in and whispered, "I'd never hurt you but if you don't want this, if you'd rather wait, we can." His eyes and voice said that he meant every word. He would have stopped if I wanted to but his body didn't want to stop. Neither did mine.

I gripped his arms and swallowed my fear. "I want this. I want you."

His kisses were soft and beautiful. They relaxed me once again. My body slowly released the remaining remnants of fear that I was feeling. He continued to stroke his 'gracious plenty' between my lips. I widened my legs for him. His pleading eyes were asking me once more if was I ready. I nodded yes as I reached between us and touched him. I rubbed his hardness against my sex to let him know that I was ready. That I wanted him.

Eric inserted the tip of his member inside of me. He swirled it around as he prepared to make love to me. He sighed as he began to enter me, slowly, lovingly. My arms were wrapped around him as tears, once again, fell from the corners of my eyes. I'd never felt such pain and pleasure in my life but it didn't last long. The pain began to subside as he slowly moved in and out of me. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. The feel of him inside of me was wonderous. It was blissful. He nibbled and kissed my ear. "So warm, so beautiful," he whispered.

And it was. I enjoyed the feel of him making love to me but the pressure that he was putting my nub made me want more of him. I tried to spread my legs wider but the couch wouldn't let me. I whispered in his ear and begged. "More, please."

"Are you sure?" he asked as he continued to make love to me.

I'd never been surer of anything in my life. "Yes."

He repositioned my body so that my bottom half was once again hanging off the edge of the couch, never leaving the warmth of me. He began to thrust in and out of me in a steady yet gentle rhythm. He was treating me so delicately … like a flower. As if I was going to break. And I respected that. He is my first lover and he wants to make sure that he's careful with me but I didn't need or want that. I'm not a flower and I won't break. The pain had all but gone. I spread my legs wider. "More," I ordered.

The corner of his mouth twitched as he gave in to my request. His thrusts became more forceful. He went deeper inside of me and it still wasn't enough. I began to swirl my hips around as I worked him deeper inside of me. I could feel him hitting parts of me that I never knew were there and still, I wanted more of him. I sat up, never letting him leave me, and wrapped my arms around his neck as I straddled him. I forced him back onto the floor and began riding him for all I was worth. There's no need to say that he was surprised at what I'd done but he didn't stop me. He let me do what I wanted. And I still wanted more. He lifted himself from the floor with his feet and began thrusting deeper inside of me. I couldn't hold out any longer. I moaned as I gripped his hardness with my sex. I moved back and forth just as I was about to orgasm and then it happened. As I came, I leaned forward and bit into his neck. He came with me. "Sookie!" he cried out.

Our bodies continued to move together as my sweaty body lazily fell on top of him. Eric wrapped his cool arms around me. He kissed and nuzzled my neck while I rested my head on his chest. "That was wonderful. Your gracious plenty frightened me at first." The contractions were slowly leaving me as I milked the last of his essence inside of me.

He frowned as he laughed. "My what?"

I giggled. "Your gracious plenty. Your other leg."

That really got a laugh out of him. "I've never had anyone call it a gracious plenty." He gave a curt nod. "I like it. Gracious plenty. It seems to be quite suitable."

"Good. I'm glad that you like it." I gave him a quick kiss before placing my head back on his chest. I began to trace my finger along his chest, twirling the fine, blond hairs around my finger. "Can I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"Did I do it right?" I asked. I buried my face into his chest; obviously embarrassed by my embarrassing question. "Was I supposed to take over ... the way that I did? Should I have waited for you ... you know ... to tell me what to do?"

His laugh was loud and hearty. "You did it wonderfully. You did what you wanted to do and that pleased me. Don't ever be afraid to take what you want. As a matter of fact, I loved it." Because he was still inside of me, my muscles squeezed around him. I moved to lie next to him but he stopped me. With his arms still around me, he said, "I love being inside of you. I love the warmth of your body. I especially love the feel of your heartbeat. It's soothing. It's calming. It makes me feel closer to you." He let his fingers trail up and down my spine. "I didn't hurt you, did I? You feel no pain?"

I shook my head no. "I drank from you, remember? I won't feel anything other than euphoria." I soon laughed. "Even if I could feel it, I don't think I would care. It was wonderful being with you like that. I feel amazing. It was very well worth it."

And just like that, the atmosphere changed. "Look at me, Sookie?"

I did.

"You realize what happened with us tonight."

"I do," I said as I nodded. I was wondering if Eric was going to realize what I'd done. I should've known that he would. It's Eric Northman for Pete's sake. "Does it bother you? Did you want to wait a little longer?" I sighed. "I guess I should've asked you before I did that. It was quite presumptuous of me to do that without asking you first. I'm usually very polite and considerate of others. I should have been more considerate of you and your blood. I know that we'd planned on bonding permanently but it was too soon … wasn't it?" I'd inhaled to say more but his kiss stopped my useless rambling.

"No, it wasn't too soon. It's what I want, Sookie. We're fully bonded and it's what I want. No one can take you away from me. No one can take me away from you." His lips brushed against mine. "I don't regret what happened. I'll never regret what happened. You're mine now."

"Yeah," I said. "I'm yours and you're mine. We belong to each other." It made me feel giddy inside. I have someone in my life that accepts me. He may hate my faery family members but he doesn't mind that I'm a Brigant. He's proud of who and what I am. He's not ashamed of what I can do. He's not trying to hide me away like I'm some dark secret. He wants me to succeed in this life and this world. Outside of my grandparents, I've never had that. "Thank you, Eric."

"For what?" He almost looked confused.

"For everything." My lips brushed against his as I stared into his beautiful eyes.

"Thank you," he offered. "You have given me the greatest gift." He looked like he wanted to say more but he stopped himself. "It is wonderful to be a part of you and for you to be a part of me. Your lifeforce is strong and fulfilling. I can feel you moving inside of me. I haven't felt this alive in a very long time."

"You're wonderful." I caressed his cheek as my desire for him filled me. My eyes closed as I touched my lips to his. I could feel him harden inside of me as the kiss deepened. His hands moved to my hips as I slowly began to make love to him. I gasped out in pleasure as he matched my rhythm. I clung to him as I lay on his chest and let him move in and out of me. Our arms wrapped around each other as his thrusts became more frenzied. I could feel my orgasm building, getting closer with each thrust. My body needed and wanted more of Eric.

Only seconds later, my orgasm wracked my body with pleasure. My sex contracted with each thrust, with each wave of pleasure. He held me closer as he loved me harder, deeper. His orgasm soon ravaged his body, exploding inside of me. The pleasure that he'd given me was amazing. I never wanted it to stop. If I could, I'd have Eric forever. "You're amazing, Eric Northman."

He shook his head no. "You are the amazing one, Sookie." He then did something that he doesn't have to do. He sighed.

"Vampires don't sigh," I said. "What's wrong?"

He kissed the tip of my nose before speaking. "I don't want this to end." He almost sounded sad, though there is no reason for him to be sad. I have no reason to go anywhere. We're bonded now.

I folded my hands on his chest and rested my chin on the back of my hand. "It doesn't have to. We can do this every night if we want. We don't have to answer to anyone. We don't have to fear what others think or say about us. This is about us." I shook my head and said, "No one else can stop us from being together."

He lifted his head and frowned at me. I could feel the anticipation and curiosity flowing through the bond. "What are you saying?"

Smiling, I replied, "That for as long as we can, we can be together. We can have so much fun together. We can work together. We can travel together. We can laugh and cry together. We can do anything that we want to do for as long as we want … for as long as I'm here."

Eric smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. There was nothing in the bond. He rested his head back onto the floor and didn't say anything. He just held me.

My smile slowly faded away into nothing. "Are you okay?"

His face was blank when he answered me. "You've ruined me."
