Has it really been since 11-7-12? My last update was that long ago? Wow, how much has happened?! My family and I have had multiple health battles ranging from breast cancer, multiple MI's, and we lost my dear Grandmother, who helped to raise me. She died on 11-7-13, literally a year after my last update. I have had surgery, traveled internationally, and made some really great friendships.

Now that I am mentally and physically feeling better after everything from the last 2 ½ years, my muse has begun speaking a bit to me. I have not pre-written anything; my outline is MIA, so who knows where my story will be going or when the updates will come.

With all that said; there have been some wonderful stories out there! Great job friends! I have not used or worked on my WordPress site in forever, or even know how to use it actually… I don't have or know a beta, thus all mistakes are my own. I have nothing worth taking, so please, don't sue me…

And finally, the last time we saw this Sookie, she had just decided to take a relaxing soak in the tub…

Chapter 10 of One Night with the King… SPOV

I am enjoying a very much needed relaxing soak in the tub. My shampoo smells divine. My hair already feels better and I've barely begun to massage my scalp with it. As I begin to focus on my bath routine, I hear a crashing noise and Lafayette swearing. I quickly begin to rinse out the shampoo from my hair and eyes to figure out what just happened. As I am finally able to open my eyes without the soap burning them I become angry.

"Cheese and rice! Get out! Have you no manners or decency?" I huff and glare up at the King as I try to cover myself to maintain some shred of my modesty. Unfortunately, there are only so many bubbles to help a girl out right now. I watch shocked as I observe the King drop to his knees beside the tub.

"Thank Odin…" Uhmmmm what? "I have been going crazy since you disappeared two nights ago… last night upon rising I checked my phone, but nobody had found you. Then this evening when I rose for the night, I find two messages from Alcide and the Doctor that you were found, safe and sound…" Why would he give a rats behind about me? He has plenty of other donors to serve his every need, and from the smell and looks of him, he has been very active.

"Sookie!... Girl, are you okay in there? What the hell just happened? All I saw was a door crash open and a big blur rush by…" I look at the King and I pray that Lafayette wasn't hurt.

"I'm fine Laf… The King is rudely interrupting my bath right now. Are you okay? He didn't hurt you did he?" I shout in response to him while glaring at the King.

"Naw, I'm good. I do need to head back to the kitchen and get the next meal supervised though… I'll check on ya later." With that, it sounds like Laf leaves my room. The King appears to have his jaw clinched and muscles are twitching.

"Why was there a human male in you room? You are mine… only the guards, the Doctor, and I are allowed to be here." I can't tell if he is sad or angry or both.

I snort and roll my eyes, "Oh please, Lafayette probably has more estrogen inside his body than I do. I've known Lala since we were kids. The only person, who would need to worry about receiving his flirtations here, is you." I realize I am getting a bit snippy, but I feel he has it coming. "Do you mind?" The King looks at me confused. "Get out! I need to finish my bath before the water loses all of its heat."

The King's face changes to a very lustful glare. His fangs are peeking out from his lips. "I would be more than happy to assist you my dear. I am ready and willing to ensure that your… follicles… are adequately cared for."

"You are disgusting… Go sexually harass a different donor. I'm not interested." With that I close my eyes and sink under the water. I pray to whoever is listening that he will leave me alone. As I rise up from under the water, I listen carefully for any sounds to indicate if I am alone or not. I don't hear anything, so I slowly open my eyes, only to be disappointed. Now the King is sitting on the edge of the tub, shirt off, smirking down at me.

"Make no mistake Miss Stackhouse… You will yield to me. It might not happen today, or even tomorrow, but it will happen…" I watch as his hand slips below the water's edge and lands on my upper inner thigh. Just as he begins to move his hand there is a knock at the bathroom door. I swear I could have heard the King growl in response as he removed his hand from my thigh and the bath water. "Yes?"

"Forgive the intrusion sir. I just wanted to check on the girl." Thank you baby Jesus for sending Doctor Ludwig to me at this moment. I'm not sure if the King would have stopped, or if I would have stopped him either. Lord knows I'm too scared of him to even move right now. I watch as the King begins to leave, but he stops and turns around with a smirk on his face.

"I love that my imagination matches the reality…" He takes a large inhalation of the air in the room. "Mmmm… Yes… Perhaps you will yield sooner than I thought…" He takes a half step toward the door, "I think I will see if two of the others are in the mood for a… bath. I find myself in the mood for a long, wet dip. I will see you later this evening in your new rooms little one." I watch him in confusion as he leaves; as much as he disgusts me, the King does have an amazing butt. As he reaches my door to the common room, I hear him call out to Dawn and Hannah. I then am barraged with giggles and vulgar thoughts in response… ewww. Those are not the mental images I needed at the moment.

AN: Thanks for your patience between updates! Constructive criticism is welcome.
