He knows there is someone in the room before he is properly awake.

Luckily for Jay, it does register that he knows the intruder before he does anything more than land on him and grab his arms.
Snarling.

From supine position to practically in Jay's lap in a blink of an eye.

He relaxes forcibly and let's go of Jay's arms.
He's cold and his eyes are more red rimmed than usual.

He closes them.
"You shouldn't do that," he says.

"I am actually quite a good businessman, Jay ," Eric replies. "But I don't like being indebted. It's - a Viking thing."

And now he owes Sunshine.


He seems to think it over. "Some time next weekend might be good. I could have a room booked for you."

He retracts his fangs.
"Pam will be pissy, but you can just ignore her. I'll make sure she stays in line."

"Well, you don't have to worry about that with me."

"I can certainly arrange that," Eric says. "And don't worry about Pam. She does as she is told. I don't have to force it."

"Thank you. "

Jay cups Eric's cheek, smiling into passing kiss. "Take care of yourself, okay?"

He heads out, leaving Eric be to recover.
