I didn't expect any salutation from Eric. But he bent to give me a kiss on the cheek, and he gave it lingeringly, as if he wanted me to know he's like to seduce me.
He didn't realize he'd already kissed just about every inch of Sookie Stackhouse...
Eric offered me his hand, I took it, and he put his other hand on my waist.
Despite the difference in our heights, we managed quite well. I pretended I didn't know everyone in the bar was looking at us, and we glided along as if we knew what we were doing. I focused on Eric's throat so I wouldn't be looking up into his eyes.
When the dance was over, he said, "Holding you seems very familiar, Sookie."
With a tremendous effort, I kept my eyes fixed on his Adam's apple. I had a dreadful impulse to say "You told me you loved me and would stay with me forever."
"You wish," I said briskly instead.
