Dead on New Years Chapter 11

After I digested what Eric said, well, partially digested, I realized I was not ready to talk about it or think about it. From the look on his face and the confusion I felt through the bond, I guessed Eric wasn’t either. There was just too much going on tonight. So I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the door. “Come on, there’s something I want to do with you.” He snapped out of his thoughts and gave me a sexy leer. “Not that!”

We held hands as I walked him down to New York New York. We could see the roller coaster moving outside the building and he sensed my excitement. “This is where you’re taking me lover?” He was grinning from ear to ear, “I had no idea you were so adventurous.”

I laughed, “I lover roller coasters. The anticipation, the rush -it’s great.”

We went on the coaster twice - me screaming and Eric just enjoying the wind in his hair. I should have known that the adrenaline would excite him. We were standing on the fake Brooklyn Bridge practically having sex on the street. I pulled back after finally hearing some of the thoughts of passer-bys, “Get a room!” “Fangbangers, Ugh.” “He’s fucking her with his mouth!” I was a little offended, but glad they were thinking it and not shouting at us! I grinned at my Viking and pulled him along back to the hotel. He had to un-tuck his shirt and was walking stiffly, but we made it. I held him off in the elevator (I so didn’t want another video of us out there somewhere) but I started unbuttoning my shirt in the hallway to tease him.

I backed into the room and was pulling him into my arms when Eric spun me around behind him and made a horrible hissing sound. I was trying to clear my head and figure out what was going on when Niall stepped out of the shadows and Eric relaxed slightly. “Prince, you surprised me.”

“Yes Viking, I see that. I also see that you are very protective of my granddaughter. That pleases me.”

We came into the room and I tried to be nonchalant as I re-buttoned my shirt. We all sat down in the living area and I was wracking my brains to figure out why Niall was here. Eric didn’t respond to my thoughts other than to say, “Relax lover, he is your blood.” That really didn’t make me feel any better.

“I understand that Victor is dead,” Niall began and looked at Eric. “This leaves a gap in Felipe’s armor, does it not?”

“In a sense, yes it does,” Eric answered while mentally shushing me and telling me to wait to find out what Niall was after before telling him that we thought Felipe planned to use Eric to fill the gap.

“You are a shrewd individual Northman. Do you not think this is the right time for you to move ahead in the ranks of your kind?”

I was seriously getting angry with my grandfather. He hadn’t said a word to me since we walked in. Eric was trying to calm me through the bond while trying not to tip his hand to Niall. “The selection of Victor’s replacement is up to Felipe. I will accept the position if it is offered.”

Niall smiled, “You would do this without consulting your bonded?”

Okay, now Eric was pissed to. That made two of us, because now I was fuming! How dare he say that he would accept it! We hadn’t even talked about it! I heard Eric in my head loud and clear, “Listen Sookie, you will understand.” And then he was speaking out loud, “Niall, I am unclear on the purpose of your visit. But you are coming close to crossing a line into dangerous territory with me. You know full well that anyone Felipe offers this position to will have to accept. It would be a death wish to decline. The King will see it as disloyalty and disobedience. Refusal is not an option.” Eric was right of course and I did understand but was reminded again that I hated Vampire politics.

Niall was still smiling and it was still irritating Eric. “You continue to please me Northman.” He paused and looked at each of us to be sure he had our attention, “I am here tonight because there are things that the two of you need to know about your bond. I know that you and Sookie are able to communicate with your minds now. It was the sign I was waiting for to come and explain things to you.”

Ok, he had my interest. Eric was trying to act casual, but I could tell how tense he was, or perhaps it was just Niall’s scent doing that. Eric took my hand and I spoke on our behalf, “Grandfather, please, start explaining.”

He looked at me like he was a little surprised I had spoken up. I think he was not used to women being independent or strong, which was very strange because those are two of the words that come to mind immediately when I think of my cousin Claudine. “Sookie, the pairing of a vampire and a fairy, even a partial fairy, is quite rare. I’m sure your Viking already knows this.” Eric made a nodding motion, waiting for Niall to tell us more. “As you know I’ve been aware of your bond, and I know things about your connection that may surprise you. I am not able to see into your minds, do not concern yourself with that. The fae magick allows me to see the strength of your bond and that tells me a great deal. The fact that you are now hearing each others thoughts means that the bond is much stronger than even I anticipated. It means that you will always be connected, for eternity.”

Eric gave my hand a squeeze and cleared his throat, “Sookie is not immortal. We do not have an eternity together.”

“That is what I am trying to explain. The two of you are, as best as I can describe it, soul mates. Whenever the two of you met in the course of time, you were destined to be together.”

I was feeling overwhelmed. It was a good thing right? I wanted to be with Eric. But destiny….eternity? I was getting a little claustrophobic. Eric was laughing a little in his head as he listened to my thoughts flying everywhere. Really what I was freaking about was that I could sense Niall had more to say. What more could there be after immortality and soul mates? Eric was actually calm. He could also sense that Niall had more to say. He asked the question because he knew I wasn’t going to be able to talk, “And what more does this mean?”

“Well, the short version is that the combination of your blood will make Sookie immortal, well, barring a few bizarre circumstances. You will not need to turn her vampire if you continue to renew your bond. Sookie, you will need to drink from Eric at least weekly. And Sookie’s fae magick will now flourish and grow. She may eventually learn to teleport and wield some control over the forces of nature.” He looked at me and made sure I was paying attention, “As Eric cannot touch silver - you should avoid iron. You cannot touch it with your skin.”

I’m sure my eyes were wide open from taking everything in. I had a lot of questions, but I was mostly worried that even though we were “destined,” that my fae blood would drive Eric, well, insane. Niall assured me that as a bonded pair Eric would be no more influenced by my blood than he had been already. Unfortunately, I would smell sweeter to other vamps, but luckily, I would not have the scent of a full blown fairy. Basically he said I would be “resistible.”

“Alright, so you said that I may learn to teleport and control nature. How will I learn to use these powers?” He explained that I would need “lessons” from Claude or Claudine for a while. I could go stay with them for a while, or see them a couple of times a week. He seemed to think that I couldn’t answer that question right away, but I told him that I would not leave Eric for an extended period of time.

We were all quiet for a while and Eric knew I was done for the night. It was late, or early if you will, and I still needed to talk to him about the whole second in command business and now we were a destined pair. Eric took the lead and stood up. “Niall, I have a feeling that there is more for you to tell us, but Sookie really cannot handle any more tonight. She needs to process all that has happened and all she has learned.”

“Yes Viking, there is more to tell and I can see that my granddaughter needs to rest. There is one additional important detail that I must share with you tonight. As your connection continues to grow you will find it difficult to be separated for more than a few days. In addition, neither of you can survive more than a short time after the other dies. You are destined to be together always not that you have found each other.”

I was blinking and looking at Eric and I thought I was going to be sick. How many times in the past two years had we come close to death? Niall stood to leave. He stopped and took my hands in his, “Granddaughter, I know you are afraid, but this is your fate, your destiny. You would have found your way to Eric no matter what. Everything that being fae entails will make your life better and easier.” Oh, I so didn’t believe that.

“Also, you have my phone numbers, but you need to know, now that you are coming into your own, all you need to do is call my name and I will come to you. The same goes for your cousins, although they don’t always listen very well. If you need to get a message to me you can place it under the fairy statue in your front garden. It will be found.” I was confused; I didn’t have a fairy statue in my garden. Niall seemed to understand the look on my face and smiled, “Claudine put it there this afternoon. It wields some protections on your home and proclaims the presence of the Royal bloodline to those who would recognize it.” He pressed his cheek to mine and stepped away. With a nod to Eric, he disappeared.

I think my eyes were still a little buggy. What a night. Eric crouched in front of me and put a hand on my cheek. “Lover, all is well.”

I just looked at him. All is well? All is freaking well? I am becoming an immortal fairy and our lives are locked together. I was going to have to drink his blood weekly. Death of one is death to the other and he is probably going to be the second in command – the head man on the ground in Louisiana for the King. I will probably have to quit my job in Bon Temps to live in Shreveport and I can’t very likely work at his bar and have vampires drooling over me all of the time. He put his other hand on the other side of my face and kissed me deeply but sweetly. He put his forehead on mine and sighed, “Lover all of these things are trivial. We know now that we are meant to be together. None of those little things matter. We have found each other and we will be together for eternity. You do not have to become vampire.”

I could hear his thoughts and was amazed that he was controlling himself so well. Every other thought in his mind was that I smelled like fairy and he wanted to fuck me and rub the smell all over himself. “Lover, we have centuries to work out the details. Come to bed with me.” He was still being calm outwardly, but I could see the erection in his pants and the lust in his eyes that matched his wicked thoughts. This mind reading thing was pretty hot.

I knew I wasn’t going to have an important conversation with him all jacked up on fairy, and his lust was definitely heating me up through the bond. I stood and began to unbutton his shirt. “I can hear what you’re thinking,” I whispered, “And you don’t want to go to the bedroom.”

“No,” he growled, “I want to fuck you right here -in front of the window.” He began rubbing my nipples through my shirt.

“No one can see in the window Eric, it’s tinted glass.”

He kissed me right below my ear and then sucked on my earlobe, “Imagine if they could lover.”

He tore off my shirt and bra (so much for that lesson on how hard it was to find a good one). Then he turned me around and my nipples brushed the cool glass. He held my hands up over my head and then slowly kissed his way down my back. He lowered my skirt and ripped away my thong. I heard his zipper go down and his hands slid up the inside of my thighs. "Mmmmm," was all I could manage to say.

I could hear his thoughts and they had gone from dirty to triple x. He was now listing places that he wanted to cum in me and on me, "..In her womb, in her throat, on her back, on her breasts. I want her to be covered in my scent for weeks." My brain was really no longer working, I'm pretty sure the only thoughts in my head were a running loop that was something like, "Yes, please, don't stop, oh lord, do it now, keep going, more..." He used his hands to slightly spread my legs and I gasped a little as his tongue began to caress me. I was so hot and it was so cool, the contrast was heating me up even more. He set a driving pace with his tongue thrusting into me and moved one hand forward to rub my clit. I was leaning hard against the window and pushing myself into his face and hand. He had learned my responses and knew as my breath caught that I was about to come. At that instant he turned his had and sank his teeth into my thigh to drink; that was all I needed and I was soaring.

As he licked my wounds closed I realized that my release had me practically dripping. I could still hear his filthy thoughts as he tried to decide if he wanted to take me right here or bend me over the back of the couch. Eric stood up slowly, his chest lightly grazing along my entire body. As he reached his full height I felt his erection against by lower back and I shuddered. I. HAD. TO. HAVE. HIM. I began to turn around and reached for him, but he grabbed my arms with one hand and held them up over my head again. He used his other hand to caress my side and with a groan he spread his legs apart to even our heights and thrust into me hard. He continued to hold my hands up so all I could do was push back against him. He grabbed my hair with his free hand and pulled my mouth around for a kiss. He was frantically thrusting into me as hard as he could, the side of my head was bumping against the glass when he growled deep in his throat and licked my pulse, "You are mine - forever." The he moved both arms around my waist to hold onto me. He bit into my neck and we came together. Our thoughts swirled between us, a combination of love, fairy lust and satisfaction.

I was shaky on my feet and he carried me to the bedroom. We lay together, just looking into each others eyes. "Eric," I started, but he cut me off.

"Lover, we have much to discuss and much to think about. But you still smell of fairy," he nudged me with his erection, "and I am no where near done with you for the evening." I was trying to hold some sort of resolve and wanted to pull away to talk or think, when he leaned up on his elbow and began kissing below my ear and then licking and sucking my ear lobe. I was a sucker for that, just like he was, and my mind shut down again. All I could think of was Eric, and all of the ways he wanted to take me. He laughed, "I forget you can hear me lover. This could make our love making quite interesting." He licked my lips, upper and then lower and was lightly biting my bottom lip. I took him into my hands and began teasing him with slow strokes.

I sighed, and thought, "Was there an order to the ways you wanted to have me, or is this good?"

He began rocking his hips into my hands, "Ladies choice." I laughed and moved down to take him in my mouth as he groaned. We spent hours exploring each other, he tried every position he thought of earlier and then some. My body was achingly sore and he did his best to heal me with his blood, but with all we had heard from Niall, I began to think it was just muscle soreness, that my body was just frankly not used to being bent and used that way for so long. I thought that if I could get out of bed in the morning, I was going to have to go straight to the spa for a massage. Eric heard that thought and just laughed. He led me to the shower to clean up and ease my muscles. Every time I showered with him it was more erotic than the last. This one had ended with Eric pulling down the towel bar and my almost falling out of the shower because of it. The glass in our room had been treated for vamps, but apparently the shower had not been built with vamp strength in mind. After he brushed my hair and rubbed lotion all over my body, we slept like we were both dead this time.
