Chapter 6
“How did your brother take the news?”
Sookie shrugged. “As well as could be expected, but Jason has his own problems right now. He’s too busy adjusting to being a shifter to worry much about me. He’s decided to stay in Hotshot for a while; Calvin Norris agreed to help him through the changes.” She placed a hand protectively over her belly, letting out a breath. “Do you think she’ll have to deal with being a telepath? I didn’t even think about that, and the last thing I want is for my baby to have the same miserable childhood I did.”
“I don’t know,” Eric replied. “I guess only time will tell, but you managed to handle it pretty well. With your guidance, I’m sure it will be no match for her.”
Sookie agreed. “Right, things are different now. She’ll never feel like an outsider, if I have anything to say about it. My parents loved me as best they could, but they were always afraid of me. They couldn’t even think anything around me in fear that I would hear them. And my Uncle Bartlett, things would have probably ended up a lot worse if I couldn’t hear his depraved thoughts beforehand.”
Eric raised his eyebrows in confusion. “What do you mean?”
Her eyes widened, forgetting that he knew nothing of the situation. She figured there was no harm in telling him now. “My grandmother’s brother, he was a very sick man. He…He would touch me inappropriately sometimes. Get me to trust him by being all sweet, but since I could see what was in his head, I knew what he was really capable of. It got pretty scary for a while.”
Eric clenched his fists, trying to keep his temper in check as he asked his next question. “And where is he now?”
“Bill killed him,” was her simple response.
He nodded. “Compton did something right, for once. If that man was still alive, I would have done far worse to him. Why have you never told me this before?”
Sookie shrugged, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “It’s not something I like to bring up. I only told Bill because he was my boyfriend at the time. I thought he was someone I could trust, but it’s not like I knew he would go after him. The only time we’ve ever really been close is when you were cursed, and we had more important things to worry about then. Honestly, I just didn’t think you would care.”
For some reason, that bothered Eric even more. “I suppose I gave you no reason to think otherwise.”
“But it’s not like that anymore,” Sookie claimed, stopping him from getting up. “After everything you’ve done for me, I no longer think that. You’ve always been honest with me from the start. My whole relationship with Bill was based on lies, maybe he did really love me somewhere down the road, but the bottom line is that he used me. You’ve always been up front about what you wanted from me. And yeah, it wasn’t always good, but at least you were truthful.”
Eric nodded again, standing up from the couch where they spent the last few hours talking. It was rare for him to spend time with a woman that didn’t lead to sex, but with Sookie, he didn’t really mind. It was that thought which terrified him, and Eric didn’t get scared easily. “It will be daylight soon. I need to rest, but you are free to do what you wish. If you are not tired, Bobby has purchased some videos for you and the refrigerator is stocked with foods that I believe is to your liking. Nothing is off limits; you may wander about if you want. If you don’t wish to go to the hospital at the moment, I have made another appointment with Dr. Ludwig to check on your condition. She is much more thorough than your average physician.”
Sookie followed him to the bedroom when he took off, grabbing his arm and forcing him to look at her. She tangled her fingers in his long tresses, bringing his head down to be level with her gaze, and planting a firm kiss on his mouth. “Thank you for everything, I don’t want you to think I’m not appreciative.”
He pecked the tip of her nose, caressing her cheek softly. “I could never think that. Have a good day, dear one. I will see you soon.”
Sookie watched him go with a heavy heart, sick at the thought that she might have offended him. It wasn’t something she felt often where Eric was concerned, but a lot had changed since that dreadful night at his bar. She wasn’t the same person anymore, and neither was he. Her phone buzzed suddenly and she went to collect it from the kitchen table, feeling her cheeks heat up at the text Eric just sent her from his room. It was a naked picture of himself getting ready for bed with the words, something for you to think about. She shook her head, texting back, go to sleep, you big perv. His reply was nothing but a wink, and it was enough to bring a smile to her face, the awkwardness of their earlier conversation now gone.

She awoke to someone nuzzling her stomach, opening her eyes to see the head of a Viking with his ear pressed to her belly.
“What are you doing?”
He glanced up at her. “I wanted to listen to her better. It’s still too early to hear much, just a faint heartbeat, but it’s a strong one.”
Sookie yawned. “How long was I asleep for? I only came in here to rest for a little while.”
He smiled. “The sun is down now; I would say you were out for most of the day.”
She looked at the clock, rubbing her eyes. “The sun has been down for over an hour. Why are you still naked? How come you didn’t wake me sooner?”
Eric shrugged. “I hear pregnant women need more slumber, you looked too peaceful to disturb. As for why I am still naked, well, why not? If you ask me, clothes are highly overrated. In fact, you should divest yourself of yours. When you have a body that beautiful, it is a shame to cover it up. I am proof of that.”
Sookie rolled her eyes, but blushed at the compliment. “I know I’m not really showing yet, but I still don’t feel comfortable being naked in front of you. I’ll probably feel that way for a while, and luckily for me, you don’t remember the time you did see me nude.”
He glared at her. “You are a cruel woman. I’ll remember eventually, and then you will be mine completely.”
“Maybe, but that’s not today. Get dressed, I’m gonna fix something to eat. Do you want me to heat up a TrueBlood for you?”
Eric cringed. “If you must, I will just take a quick shower and then I have to go to Fangtasia. Pamela doesn’t like to be left in charge for too long, something dire always happens on her watch.” He grabbed her arm, turning her to face him before she could leave the room. “You do not have to, but if you would like to accompany me…”
She shook her head, effectively cutting him off. “I can’t. Not yet, anyway, too many memories. Besides, it’s not like I could drink anything. Hell, just the thought of drinking anything there makes me paranoid.”
“That will not happen again, lover. The previous bartender has been fired, and from now on I will be extra careful about whom I hire. I promise that if you do decide to return, you will be perfectly safe.”
Sookie graced him with a small smile. “I believe you, but it’s just too soon. You should go, I’ll be fine here. I’ll just order a pizza and watch some movies, will you be gone long?”
“Not if I can help it,” Eric stated, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss, leaving her breathless when he pulled away and touching his forehead to hers. “You make it so hard to leave, but I do have other obligations.”
She nodded, pushing him to the door with a firm swat on his backside. “Go, I’ll still be here when you get back.”
He gave a low growl, wanting nothing more than to say the hell with it and take her right there, but now was not the time. Despite how much Eric may hate it at the moment; he still had a job to do. “You will get yours later.”
“Promises, promises,” Sookie said, blowing him a kiss before making her way out of the room, but didn’t make it too far as he wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tight against his strong chest.
Eric grinned, licking up her smooth neck, leaving little nips along the way and taking in the delicious smell of her arousal. “Oh, you have no idea.”
