AN: Sorry for taking so long for this update, but college and RL have been real hectic lately. I would like to thank you for the reviews from the last chapter it was wonderful. Sorry if I didn't respond to all your wonderful reviews, but I do take the time to read each and every one.

Now on with the story.

Previously:

I go back into the bathroom to see what Godric did to my hair. "Oh my gosh, Godric, I love it!" There were two braids on each side that looped into the rest of my hair that was braided and put into a bun in the back. I turn around and give him a kiss. It was meant to be a quick kiss but he was having none of that. Before long we were back to where we began. However, this time I was able to gain some control. "As much as I would love to go for round three. I don't want to ruin my hair and Pam will be here any time now." Right then there was a knock on the door. I knew who it was but I wondered why he was knocking. "Come in Eric."

Present

Sookie's POV

"My Lover, don't you look just amazing tonight. Pam called and said that she's on her way here from taking care of the weres. She has already glamoured the two for their report and glamoured the others for more information. I have passed onto the Magister everything that has happened today and the information Pam got. I have also dealt with Andre as well. While you are gone Godric and I are going to meet with my attorney. So, I want you and Pam to relax and have a fun evening shopping. Here is your credit card with your name on it and don't worry about spending too much." He says as he hands me my own black Amex card.

"Are you sure you're not worried about me spending too much?" I ask while still a little shocked about having so much money.

"Trust me, if I can afford to keep Pam in designer shoes every week I can afford to spoil you too. Besides, you're my bonded and mate now what's mine is also yours. I think Godric would agree with me on this." He looks over at Godric who just nods his head.

"But Eric, we aren't even married. So, how can you say that?" I just don't understand all this. I've been raised that only a married couple share stuff like this.

"Sookie, My Love, when we became bonded and mated by vampire law we are considered married." Godric explained and I can see his meaning.

"Alright, so if we are considered married in your world then how does my name change?" Now I was curious.

"Well, that is up to you. I also know that you will need to incorporate your fairy name of Brigant. Godric's full name is Godric Ovidius Regillus, but Ovidius is his clan's name. The one passed down. Of course, you know mine of Northman. I personally would like you to have both mine and Godric's" Eric explained. Wow, it would be nice to take on the last names of both my mates and not have to choose.

"Alright, how about Sookie Ovidius Northman Brigant?" I ask hoping they approve because it just sounds right listing Godric first.

"Sounds wonderful my love. While the attorney is here we will have the papers done up to have your name legally changed in both worlds. I'm sure Niall will be quite pleased with your new name." Godric says and gives me hug and a quick kiss.

"Will I ever get to meet this attorney?" I've heard so much about him yet I've never met him.

"Yes, he will be here tonight when you return home. There will be some documents you'll need to sign and he will have to witness them." Eric replies cryptically.

"Alright, well we should head downstairs so Pam, Lafayette, and I can do our shopping." With that said we all head on down stairs to meet Pam. We find her and Lafayette in the living room talking about the different places to go. Then after telling my mates bye, we were off.

Three hours later we finished shopping. I thought I was going to die of shock at the first store when the bill was over $10,000. I was a little worried that the card would be declined, but everything was okay. What was even more of a shock was I had only purchased 3 outfits and 2 pairs of shoes. We ended up going to three more stores after that and spending about the same amount. How on earth can he afford so much? Then again he is over a 1,000 years old. Surely Fangtasia isn't his only business. I'll just have to ask him later. Of course, while we were shopping I had to buy some things for Lafayette and Pam too for helping me.

When we got back home they helped me carry all my stuff up to my room. Pam stayed to help me put things away while Lafayette went down to make us a snack. After we finished she said she had some work to do and would see me tomorrow night. When she left I headed into the office to meet with my mates and the attorney. "Hey guys, how goes the work?" There were documents all over the desk and more printing out on the printer. Godric and Eric were sitting on the couch and the attorney was in one of the two wingback chairs on the other side of the coffee table. He had a laptop out and was typing away. That was when I noticed that Eric had his laptop sitting on the coffee table as well.

Godric says as he leads me over to the couch. "Welcome back My Love. Please come sit here with Eric and I. Sookie, please meet Mr. Cataliades."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Cataliades. Would you like something to drink?" I offer because Gran would kill me if I forgot my manners.

"Please call me Desmond dear. I have known about you from the time you were born. It is a pleasure to finally meet you. I'll take some sweet tea if it's not too much trouble. We still have a lot of work to go over." He says with a smile.

"Not at all. I'll just let Lafayette know what you want and he'll bring it back with the rest of the snacks." With that said I think to Lafayette, 'Lafayette, please bring another sweet tea for Mr. Cataliades.' "How is it that you've known about be from the time I was born?" I asked because I've never heard of him until I met Eric.

"Niall had contacted me when he found out about you. At that time he had me set up a trust account that was to be managed until you found your mates. Now, that you have found both your mates, the funds in the account are all yours to access and do with as you wish. Here is the portfolio for that trust." He hands me a leather binder with several tab sections. In the front pocket I see two credit cards. Taking them out I see that they have my name already on them, but as 'Sookie Brigant'. "The MasterCard is for an account that is here in the states. This bank account currently has a balance of two million and each year gains another approximately $250,000 in interest. The Visa card is tied to your off shores account. This is where all the profits from your investments and the two businesses you now own go to. The current balance of this account is $5 billion."

"I'm sorry, but did you just tell me that I now have over $5 billion dollars, investments, and two businesses?" If I thought I was going to go into shock before, his next words must be because both Eric and Godric each grabbed a hand. They started sending me calm through the bond. Getting my breathing under control, I nod to show that I'm alright and for Desmond to continue.

"That is correct. Let me explain the layout of your portfolio. The first tab contains all the information you will need to know about your personal accounts. The second tab is the information about your business accounts. Now, the third tab is a detailed list of all your investments. The next two sections is detailed information on the two businesses. The last section contains a list of all your other properties you own. I know this is a lot for you to take in right now, but know that I'm always here to help. Do you know yet how you want to handle any of this?" He ask in a calm voice.

"Well, I guess I'll need to transfer the money in my current bank account to my new personal account. No need to have two accounts. Then, I want to set up an account for my Gran so she will no longer have to worry about money. I want it to have enough money that the bills will be paid every month and for her to be able to restore the house. I would also like to give Jason, my brother, $200,000. As for the investments and the businesses, if you don't mind, I would like it if you continued to handle those. They seem to be very profitable and to tell you the truth I don't know much at all about investing. As for the properties, I'm going to keep them all. Never know when they will come in handy." As I close the portfolio Lafayette comes in with our drinks and snacks. "Thank you Lafayette."

"No problem Sook. Now, I'm going to go finish putting my stuff away and then head to bed." I give him a hug and say goodnight.

"Don't worry about the transfer of your funds. I'll take care of that tomorrow along with everything else you want. By tomorrow night I'll have the new bank account information on your Grandmother as well as a check for your brother. I don't mind at all to continue managing the investments and give you quarterly updates. As for the businesses, there will be times that I will require your signature now. However, don't worry I'll be sending you the monthly reports and minutes from the board meetings to your email account. I will continue to attend these meetings on your behalf and of course at any time you are more than welcome to come along with me to meet everyone."

"Sounds like a good idea to me. I would like to get a good read on the key players of the businesses. Make sure they are all honest business professionals. I would also like to setup a time to take a tour around each one. I've never been to a computer or pharmaceutical company. I never thought I would own a major company like Samsung. I thought it was owned by someone in Korea." I ask because I'm curious how this came about.

"It was until you bought them out. They are still located in South Korea. I have already done the paper work up for your passport along with the documents to have your name legally changed. All I'll need is a picture of you before I leave to be able to get it all submitted. I'll have your new driver's license and other forms of ID here for you tomorrow night. It takes about a week to get your passport back. So as soon as I have that I'll bring it over. Now, here are all the documents you need to sign for me." He hands me a stack of papers that have little arrow tabs by the lines for me to sign. As I'm signing them he explains each one. Once I signed the last one he took my current bank account information down and I gave him Gran's information so he could setup the new account. We decided to put $500,000 in the account. That way we wouldn't have to guess each year how much to put in it. After that, he took my picture and said he would be back tomorrow with my new stuff. I placed the two new cards in my purse and just sat there looking through the portfolio. "I still can't believe this is all mine." I say when the guys get back into the room from showing our guest out.

"Don't worry My Love, if you ever need any help with this you can also ask Eric or I and we would be glad to assist you. This is average given your status in the royal family. Even though your portfolio looks small in terms of property and number of businesses when compared to ours, but it's the value of your net worth. It has taken Eric and I over a 1,000 years to accomplish what you have in your 25 years." Godric says as he rubs my hand.

"So how many businesses do you guys own." I ask after a bit.

"I have about seven here in the Shreveport area, two in New Orleans, and one in New York. Plus I have several investments in the market." Eric explained.

"I too still own several business in Dallas. One of them is the Hotel Carmilla. I too have several investments in the market." Godric said.

"Wow and you both manage all this from here?" I asked, because if it was me I would want to check up on these businesses from time to time.

"Well, we have good managers that send us reports by email and we do make the occasional visit to them just to make sure they are telling the truth. We also have many properties in these areas for safety purposes. If you would like you can come with us to check them out. But I think we need to focus on the trial that is coming up with the Queen in two days. We need to make a plan on what to do just in case she tries to make another attempt to capture you." Eric said bringing our main focus back to the major event going on.

"I agree with Eric on this. We need to be planning. We did need to get this little bit of business out of the way tonight and will have plenty of time after the trial to focus on this stuff. I think it would be a good idea if you would stay in the house until the time of the trial unless you are with one of us. We can do our training during the day with Claudine in the meantime." Godric said as he started rubbing my back.

"I think that sounds like a good plan to me. You guys do need to work on your new powers and she would be of great help. I can't do it all on my own and it would be safer to do it here." I say as I lean into Godric's touch. It is so soothing.

"Don't forget that tomorrow night is our special night My Love. I have great plans for us." Eric says has he comes over and grabs my hands and places a small kiss on my cheek.

"I won't forget. Can you give me a hint of what you have planned?" I ask.

"Sorry it's a surprise." He replies.

After that we all just sit there and started planning. We made all kinds of plans for every outcome. The next day was spent training with Claudine and we made great progress. As it got closer to night time I got even more excited about my date with Eric.

Before I knew it, it was time for out date. He told me to dress casual. Which told me that we weren't going out to a fancy dinner. I got dressed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I pulled hair back in a nice French braid and put on a little bit of make-up. I was a little bit nervous about tonight because I had no idea where he was taking me. In no time at all I was ready to go.

Eric's POV

I know she was nervous because I could feel it through the bond. I send her calm and reassurance. I wait for her in the living room and if I must admit I'm little bit excited about tonight. I just hope she enjoys what I have planned.

"I'm already to go." She announces as she comes into the living room. She looks wonderful in those tight jeans and that shirt shows off her breast nicely. I have to keep telling myself later. I know she can feel my lust because I feel her lust building as well.

"Shall we go then?" I say as I vamp to her and lean down for a passionate kiss. After a bit I release her to give an answer.

"Are you sure we have to go?" She ask.

"Yes, we do. I have a wonderful night planned."

"Then yes I'm ready to go." She replies by giving me another kiss softly neck.

"You are going to make it hard to focus on my plans for us tonight."

"Maybe we will have time for fun stuff later." She replies with smirk. I lead us out the back door. "I thought we were leaving?" She asked a bit confused.

"We are, but we have to fly to get there." I say as I pull her closer to me. I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist and arms around my neck with her head buried into my chest. Just the way I like it. I fly us to the nearby lake that is on my property that I know will be safe. If Lafayette followed my orders then everything will be setup for tonight. It was hard to pull it off with Sookie in the house but we did it. I went over the area to see if it was and he did a great job so I land a little bit away so we could walk to it and I could surprise her with it. When we land she unwraps herself. "So this is your surprise? A walk in the woods."

"No, it's what is through the woods on the other side. We are almost there." I say as I take her hand and led her through the woods to the clearing by the lake. As we come to the clearing I feel the excitement through the bond before she even speaks. Before us is a nice picnic with a blanket, pillows, a basket of food and wine. There is also a tent to the side with light coming out of the opening of the door.

"Oh Eric, it's wonderful. How did you get all this setup?" She ask as she sits down on the blanket.

"I had Lafayette work on this all today while we were training." I say as I join her on the blanket. "Are you hungry?" I ask.

"Yes, please. What did he pack?" She ask as she reaches toward the basket.

"Not just yet. I want to feed you tonight." I say as I start to open the basket for her. I pull out all the fruit and cheese. "I see that there is lots of your favorite fruits and cheese along with wine. Shall I pour you a glass while you sit back and just relax?"

"Yes, that would be nice and I'll and start with the fruit." She replies.

We just sit there laying back on the pillows with me feeding her while she drinks her wine. After a bit she is full and I just hold her and we are looking up at the stars. We are at peace just enjoying being close to each other. "Are you getting cold My Love?"

"Just a little bit." She replies as a small shiver goes through her body.

"Would you like to go and see the tent?" I ask as I pull her closer to my body.

"Sure" I pick her up bridal style and carry inside the tent. "Oh Eric, this is wonderful. I'm guessing we are staying here tonight?" Inside the tent there is an inside fire pit to keep the tent warm and a bed covered with more pillows and blankets.

"I thought you would like that." I reply as I pull her toward the bed. We lay down and I pull her close to me. "You know you have made me the happiest vampire in the world." I say as I start to run my fingers through her soft blonde hair. The light from the fire giving it a soft glow.

"Both you and Godric have showed me more love than anyone has ever showed me in my whole life. I have never been this happy and I never want it to stop." She says then leans up and gives me soft kiss on the lips.

"I know from the bond how he feels and I know for me that you have given us life back into our lives. Were before there was only death. You are also our sunshine to our night. You are everything to us now." I say then give her a deep passionate kiss while running one hand down to rest in her hip.

Sookie's POV

What started out as a passionate kiss quickly turned heated. His hands moved from hip to go up under my shirt and started to massage my breast. Leaving my lips he then starts to leave a trail of kisses down my jaw to my neck where he starts to lick and nibble, but not breaking the skin. I bring my hands up and start to pull at his shirt and in no time at all we are both naked and back in the same position. He slowly lowers his mouth to my breast and begins to nip and suck, while he moves one of his hands down to my heated core. Threading my hands in his hair a moan escapes my parted lips as his fingers begin to play with my clit. My moan causes him to growl in satisfaction and then he switches his attention to my other breast. Ever so slowly I'm starting to feel the small beginnings of my orgasm building. I need more of him. As if he knows what I'm needing, he starts to move two fingers in and out at a painfully slow pace. While at the same time he starts to kiss down my body. He spreads my legs farther apart with his other hand until he is resting fully between my legs. He then starts kissing and licking the inside of my thigh and then moving on to suck on my clit.

"Eric, please…" I gasp.

"Yes, My Love?" He says softly.

"Take me, please."

Licking a few more times, he then moves back up my body and enters me with a slowness that is almost painful. "Look at me," he demands and I open my eyes to see those two beautiful blue orbs in front of me. I am lost in them and the sensation he is creating. Within no time I'm about to climax and just at the right time he bites into my breast and sends me over the edge. He does not allow me to relax as he continues to take me slowly with all the power he has. The strength is flowing off of him. I cannot believe how much I love this man. He brings me to the edge several more times before he reaches his. We continue to just lay there and bask in each other's love flowing through the bond. There is no need for words because there are no words to describe how I'm feeling right now.
