Again, proving me wrong, Sookie doesn’t say she does to make her life easier. Eric is confused and asks whether she loves him. She wants to continue to work and live independently.

I mean, she must want to sit around and live off his money, right? Sookie declines which is something I can respect her for. gourmet sex.Įric then ruins this mood by asking her what she wants. It had been a while since I’d sex, and this was like…. I do not like reading any of Harris’s sex scenes. I have no words to sum up my reaction to any of this. “Ohmigod,” I said through clenched teeth. “This is right.” He pulled out a little and I made a choked noise. He said inside as if he’d never been gone, as if we’d made love every night for the past year. I find it to be a bit cringey to be honest. They have sex right after she has recovered from a blow to the head serious enough to cause like, an hour of unconsciousness. It feels like a very nasty, patronising way of looking at women – like they need to be protected.Īnyway, his sense of TIMING is like any other man in the rest of these books. I find him him to be… it’s hard to explain there’s something I find deeply unlikeable about how he treats her, as if he owns her. I’m sorry, any Eric fans out there, but he really doesn’t appeal to me. He then announces he is ‘horny’ and ‘it’s time I claimed what is mine’. He is one thousand years old and has never heard the phrase ‘high-handed’. She asks whether Eric gave her some blood, and he says he did. The two guys broke some bits of each other and then went away. She ignores this and asks what the hell happened when she was unconscious.

He decides to use this time to ask her if she loves Quinn. Sookie has been laid out on her bed by Eric, who has thoughtfully stripped her of all her clothes. I spluttered and choked as some trickled into my mouth. Oh, there are so many things I could say about that, but I’m going to move on and focus on today’s chapter.Ĭold water trickled over my face and neck. Where did we leave Sookie yesterday? Oh yes, she’d just been knocked out by a rampaging weretiger who wasn’t dealing well with rejection and was going to force her to date him.
