Chapter 8
“Alyssa is so excited that she has her first sleepover, one of the girl’s in class invited her.”
Eric smiled. “That’s good, I’m glad everything is going well for her. Have you discussed about her moving up a grade?”
Sookie nodded. “I mentioned it to her briefly, but she likes where she is. I’m not about to do anything to change that, I only want her to be happy. I was so worried that she would hate it here at first. I’m not loaded like the Compton’s were, there was so much they could give her that I can’t, but she really seems to love it here.”
“That’s because you actually care for her. The Compton’s only had money and material things, that’s not what a child needs. You have given her more love than she’s probably ever known before, that’s priceless.”
She smiled at that, kissing his lips sweetly. “The sleepover is this weekend if you wanted to come by, we would have the place all to ourselves. Just a suggestion, there’s no pressure.”
He grinned, giving her a kiss of his own. “That works for me.”

“So, are you guys finally gonna do it?”
Sookie glared at her friend, a blush tinting her cheeks when Sam walked by, obviously having heard her question. “Could we not talk about that here? I’m not off the clock yet.”
Amelia waved her hand in the air. “You’re just trying to get out of answering me, this place is practically empty.”
Sookie let out a sigh. “I haven’t decided yet, we’ll just see where things go.”
“I honestly don’t know how you haven’t banged him yet. If I had a guy like that, I’d be jumping his bones any chance I get.”
“That’s the difference between us, I don’t screw everything that moves,” Sookie responded.
Amelia crossed her arms over her chest. “Hey, I have my limits; it’s not like I’m some sex craved animal.”
Sookie raised her eyebrows. “How’s Pam lately? If I recall, when you guys first met at Eric’s bar, you ended up fooling around in the storage closet.”
“Okay, but that was only one time, we’ve strictly kept things platonic since then.” She rolled her eyes when it looked like Sookie wasn’t buying it. “Fine, it may have happened more than once, but this isn’t just about sex. I really like her; it could actually turn into something real.”
“I’m glad for that, but I don’t need sex to know what I have with Eric is already real.”
Amelia gave her words some thought. “What’s that like?”
Sookie rolled her eyes now, but there was a hint of a smile on her face as she got back to work.

Once she dropped Alyssa off at her friend’s house, Sookie set her plan in motion. She didn’t know if Eric was expecting anything to happen between them that night, but she wanted the place to look nice just in case he did. She lit candles all around the house, soft music playing in the background. When she reached her bedroom, she scrunched up her nose at the strong scent of lavender. The rose petals on the bed were definitely overkill; Sookie swept them to the floor, not knowing what else to do. She took in the display before her and realized that she was getting too worked up over this. Sure, it had been a long while since she was intimate with a man, but it couldn’t have changed that much.
The door opening downstairs ripped her out of her reverie, it was too late to change things now, but she may come to regret giving him a key.
“Sookie?” he called, coming up the stairs. “You know that’s a fire hazard down there,” Eric commented with a grin when he reached her doorway, which quickly faded at the sight of her wearing skimpy lingerie. “And it just got hotter, what is all this? I told you that we didn’t have to rush anything if you weren’t ready. You didn’t have to go through so much trouble.”
She took in a deep breath. “I know I may have gone overboard, but I just wanted everything to be special tonight. I think I’m ready.”
Eric stepped closer to her. “Thinking isn’t the same as actually being ready, for instance, you’re shaking like a leaf.”
Sookie gave out a humorless laugh, sitting on her bed. “This is ridiculous; I’m behaving like some insecure virgin. I’m not usually like this, Eric, it’s just you’re not like anyone I’ve been with before. I’m worried that I won’t be good enough and you’ll want someone better with more experience, I’ve only ever been with two guys in my life. The last one was almost three years ago, but for some reason, this feels like my first time.” Her eyes widened at that. “God, that was so lame, just shoot me now,” she groaned, burying her face in her hands.
Eric chuckled, sitting down beside her and removing her hands in the process. “Do you have any idea how adorable you are? If anything, that little speech just makes me want you more. I promise, dear one, you have nothing to worry about. I’m not looking to ever replace you, this is it for me. I know we’ve only been together for a few months, but I believe that more than anything. Yes, I’ve had my share of women, but I don’t have nearly as much experience as you may think. This isn’t something I tend to broadcast, but I didn’t even lose my virginity until I was twenty-five.”
She glanced up at him, clearly in shock. “Seriously? How is that possible? Have you seen you?”
He laughed, shaking his head. “Believe it or not, I haven’t always looked like this. It took a long time for me to get any confidence in myself. I told you before that I was in this for the long haul, nothing has ever been more true to me. I couldn’t see myself committing to any of those other women, but with you, I see an entire future. We really don’t have to rush this, I’m not going anywhere.”
Sookie knew that she was completely ready, now more than ever. A guy like this didn’t come around every day, she wouldn’t waste any of the time they had together. With that thought in mind, she pressed her lips to his. There would be no going back now.
