My first fic ever! Focused on the relationship between Eric and Pam, from True Blood (and the books) I'll probably on continue it if people request more! So please review if you want more. :)

I don't own the characters or anything associated with True Blood or Southern Vampire Tales

It hasn't been proof read, so sorry if you spot any mistakes.

Pam sat across from Eric in his office, she looked a little tired. Fangtasia had just closed, it had been a profitable and busy evening. Eric was satisfied by the earnings and he and Pam were in the middle of their nightly ritual, winding down from the night, drinking True Blood, one last drink before dawn.

"What is the matter?" He asked Pam, raising his eyebrow as he sat down behind his desk.

"What?" She asked, raising her eyebrow in return.

"Don't be false with me. I can tell something is bothering you." he replied. "Spit it out." he said, in an impatient tone that held authority. She stared and him and Eric crossed his arms and gave her a stern look.

"Are you bored of me?" She asked with genuine curiosity.

Eric was shocked by her question. He had expected it to be something business related. It seemed like such a vulnerable question, and Pam wasn't one to subject herself to vulnerability.

"What makes you ask?"

"You told me, years ago, that you were drawn to me when I was human, by my free spirit. You said I had a spark inside." She paused. "And I remember. I remember being adventurous, awake and excited about everything." She mused.

Eric looked towards the floor, as her words sunk in he tried to place them like pieces of a puzzle, he tried to find the meaning of them.

"And when you turned me," Pam continued slowly "It was still there. I was even more passionate about everything. We drank and we danced, and we slept beside each other, we had lots and lots of sex and it was all very beautiful."

"I remember." Said Eric, still concentrating on staring at the ground. He thought back on those days after he turned Pam. He had wanted her so badly as his companion, forever. He had waited many years to find the right one.

"I miss it."

"You miss having sex with me?" Eric looked up at her with a smug grin on his face.

"No, you fool." She laughed at him.

Eric raised an eyebrow, waiting for an explanation.

"I miss the thrill, the thrill of everything." She stated. "I don't find pleasure in feeding anymore." She confessed, with a hint of bitter disappointment in her voice. "I certainly don't find pleasure in sex anymore."

"Maybe you're just not doing it with the right person." Eric teased.

"I'm serious, Eric. Is this it? All there is?" She asked. "Is this business the only reason for us to rise every evening?"

Eric didn't know how to reply. Pam was asking questions that he didn't have answers to. He had often asked himself the same question, but he would quickly dismiss it for fear of finding an answer. He found it quite comforting that Pam was much like him, it reminded him that he would never be alone with her around.

"I must apologise." He stated.

"For what?" She laughed.

"We will always be connected Pam," Eric paused, thinking carefully of his words. "My blood is in you, and yours in me, forever. In the past decades, I haven't given you as much attention as when you were first turned." He looked up at her. "But I will never get bored of you." He stated honestly.

Pam didn't reply, she just sat still, staring at the ground thoughtfully.

"I think we should spend more time together." Eric said, as he rose from his office chair.

Pam laughed, "We already spend a lot of time together."

"Yes, but it's all business and politics." Eric debated.

"What are you suggesting? Tea parties and karaoke?" Pam teased with her smirk.

A smile crept on Eric's mouth. "I would like to bond with you again." He stated seriously.

"May I ask why?"

"I know how you feel Pam, disconnected with the world. And I've seen what it does to a vampire." Eric looked away, with just a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I wont let that happen to you, or me for that matter. I want to be more connected to you, and you to me."
