Eternal Destinies PT 1: In the Beginning

The Queen Pt. 1

Sookie woke the next morning feeling excited. She was lucky to have the day off, which gave her enough time to prepare for her date and night at Fangtasia.

Last night Eric had escorted her home. She smiled to herself remembering the conversation they had before she went off to bed last night:

They both sat in her old rusted car in comfortable silence. It was nice to just sit down and not have to struggle to keep her shields up. Sookie sighed happily. She noticed Eric kept stealing glances at her or stare at her through the corner of his eyes. She tried not to let it show on her face how happy she was to be alone with him. Finally, they made it to the farmhouse. Eric was out the car and on the other side opening the door for Sookie before she could even take off her seat-belt. He held his hand out to her and Sookie grabbed it.

He walked her to the front porch and stood at the bottom of the steps. She faced Eric looking into his cerulean blue eyes and finds that she wasn't ready for Eric to leave just yet. Instead she walked over to the porch swing and patted a seat next to her, motioning for Eric to join her.

He sped over to her and sat next to her instantly. He grabbed her hand and entwined his fingers with hers, enjoying the connection he feels with her when he touches her.

"So where are you taking me tomorrow night?" Sookie asked, smiling.

"It's a surprise." He said softly smiling back.

"Then how am I supposed to know what to wear?" Sookie asked, giggling. Eric smiled at her, yet again for the umpteenth time. He was doing that a lot lately.

What was it about this woman that has me all smiles and grins?

"Wear something casual. A sweater and jeans will be just fine." He said, getting closer to her.

"Okay, then." Sookie replied. She stood up, took her keys out her purse and unlocked her door. Before she turned around, she could feel Eric's chest against her back. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and bent to nuzzle her neck. He couldn't resist the urge to smell her and kiss her. Whenever he was close to her, he felt this need for physical contact. It overwhelmed him...but not in a bad way.

He trailed kisses down her neck and then back up to her jaw. He spins her around then captures her lips in a passionate kiss. Sookie gasped when he grabbed her thighs and wraps her legs around his waist; further deepening the kiss. She could the bulge in his jeans and she groaned. He massaged her tongue with his and wrapped his hands in her hair. He pulled away and brushed his lips against her ear.

"This is...amazing. When I am with you, I feel such pleasure, such contentment. I have not had these feelings for centuries." Eric smelled her hair deeply. "You smell like...pure sunshine, wheat...and honey. I can only imagine what you taste like." He whispered in her ear. Sookie shivered in pleasure. Eric chuckled.

His hands gripped the sides of her face as his lips met hers again. His tongue demanded entrance, and she eagerly let him in. Her mouth tasted sweet, and it was just as soft as a rose petal. Gods, I could never get enough of kissing Sookie. This time was better than the last, and yet I desired so much more, Eric thought. Eric felt his fangs suddenly pop out and he quickly yet reluctantly pulled away from her.

Sookie watched in awe as Eric's fangs glistened in the moonlight and she touched one fang with her index finger; sliding it up and down. Eric shivered. She accidently pricked her finger and a drop of blood pooled on the tip of her finger. He took her finger into his mouth and sucked on it lightly. Sookie was nearly breathless as he released her finger from his mouth.
