You are speaking of my future lover. Be more respectful.Charlaine Harris

Hey, our hair's the same color, " I said, eying us side by side in the mirror." Sure is, girlfriend." Eric grinned at me.Charlaine Harris

Niall had been able to mask the odor of fairy from Eric in the restaurant, but I saw from the flare of Eric's nostrils that the intoxicating scent clung to me. Eric's eyes closed in ecstasy, and he actually licked his lips. I felt like a T-bone just out of reach of a hungry dog. "Snap out of it, " I said. I wasn't in the mood. With a huge effort, Eric reigned himself in. "When you smell like that, " he said, "I just wanna fuck you and bite you and rub myself all over you. .Charlaine Harris

I hate witches. Humans had the right idea, burning them at the stake.Charlaine Harris

As I climbed up into the high old bed, the large fly in my personal ointment did the same. Had I actually told him he could get in bed with me? Well, I decided, as I wriggled down under the soft old sheets and the blanket and the comforter, if Eric had designs on me, I was just too tired to care." Woman?"" Hmmm?"" What's your name?"" Sookie. Sookie Stackhouse.""Thank you, Sookie.""Welcome, Eric.Charlaine Harris

Come on, " I said, taking his hand. Clutching the afghan with the other hand, he trailed down the hall after me, a snow white giant in tiny red underwear.Charlaine Harris

Because he sounded so lost-the Eric I knew had never been one to do anything other than assume others should serve him- I patted around under the covers for his hand. When I found it, I slid my own over it. His palm was turned up to meet my palm, and his fingers clasped mine. And though I would not have thought it possible to go to sleep holding hands with a vampire, that's exactly what I did.Charlaine Harris

How grateful are you?" he whispered, his mouth hovering over mine. His eyes were very alert now, and his gaze was boring into mine." That kind of ruins it, when you say something like that, " I said, trying to keep my voice gentle. "You shouldn't want me to have sex with you just because I owe you."" I don't really care why you have sex with me, as long as you do it, " he said, equally gently.Charlaine Harris

But I couldn’t leave Hunter alone in the house, and I would’ve felt terrible if I’d asked Eric to go out in the woods by himself, even though I knew he wouldn’t think anything about it. In fact, probably he’d have sent Pam.Charlaine Harris
10
Did we have sex?" he asked directly. For about two minutes, this might actually be fun. "Eric, " I said, "we had sex in every position I could imagine, and some I couldn’t. We had sex in every room in my house, and we had sex outdoors. You told me it was the best you’d ever had." (At the time he couldn’t recall all the sex he’d ever had. But he’d paid me a compliment.) "Too bad you can’t remember it, " I concluded with a modest smile. Eric looked like I’d hit him in the forehead with a mallet. For all of thirty seconds his reaction was completely gratifying.Charlaine Harris

Ha, " I said. "Oh, ha-ha. Yeah, ’cause they love me. You see how many vampires are up here? Zero, right?" One, " said Eric, stepping out of the stairwell.Charlaine Harris

I had never realized a woman could have to struggle to keep her hands off a man, but here I was, digging my nails into my palms, staring at the inside of my eyelids as though I could maybe see through them if I peered hard enough.Charlaine Harris
13
When I thought of Eric with someone else, I wanted to rip out all his beautiful blonde hair. By the roots. In clumps.Charlaine Harris

It's hard not to respond when a master of the art of kissing is laying one on you.Charlaine Harris
