Chapter 1: The Night of Love
He gestured for her to go over and she obeyed. She silently walked across the decorated ballroom, crossed a long table lined with rows of champagne glasses and approached the suited figure at the doorway. She followed him as he turned and slowly moved towards the kitchen. They walked at a very slow pace and were just about to reach the kitchen doorway when he reached into his suit pocket to retrieve an iphone.
Julian had always been a father figure to Nora, and a very fun loving one at least. When Julian was brought back from the phoenix stone, it was a mix of emotions; mostly happiness but there were some doubts. She wasn't sure whether Julian was the same old and fun Julian whom she knew back then and hence she treated him cordially ever since his return. It didn't take Julian long before he was able to comprehend the concept of Candy Crush and he lined a row of matching candies before returning his new toy into his suit pocket.
"I think this era suits you, Nora."
Though not blood related, Nora held Julian with some respect and treated him as the family's father figure. She spoke and interacted with Julian cordially. When he volunteered to talk to Lily into allowing her to venture beyond Mystic Falls, she was enthralled by the possibility.
"There you are. Guests are arriving. Help me greet them?"
Nora glanced at Mary Louise and that was the last impression she had of her for that hour – Mary Louise in an old fashioned cream coloured dress. Nora kept herself occupied for the hour by greeting guests at the door and spent the evening socializing with the guests, accompanied by a very disrespectfully rude Matt Donovan. She was enthralled by some of the conversations on phones but that didn't catch her attention for long.
Finishing her glass of champagne, Nora casually placed it on the tray of a passing waiter before her eyes searched the ballroom. She was nowhere to be seen but Nora's green eyes soon caught sight of her familiar figure emerging from the hallway corridors, heading towards her. The dress was gorgeous, she was gorgeous. It was a low cut shoulder bearing short dress that Nora had never thought that she would ever wear. Her body curves were perfectly outlined by the fitting short dress and her permed blonde long hair clashed beautifully against her bare shoulder. As she drew nearer, she emitted a shiny radiance that Nora held in awe this evening.
"Mare, did you change? You're..."
Before Nora could finish, Mary Louise's hand gently clasped Nora's cheek and her face neared till their lips touched. Nora closed her eyes and allowed herself to immerse into the moment as her conservative lover guided her. Initially it was a gentle stationary kiss but then it became more intense as Mary Louise's tongue demanded entry into her mouth and she attempted to pry open Nora's lips with moving lips.
Mary Louise's voluptuous lips tasted sweet, like sweet nectar to Nora. She wanted to taste more of her but then the kiss broke as the blonde pulled away. Holding on to Nora's hand, Mary Louise smiled seductively and beckoned Nora to follow as she led her through the hallway and to the stairs.
Though surprised by the sudden display of public affection, Nora understood Mary Louise's hints and her heart throbbed with excitement as a fire was ignited in her. They passed a waiter and a few guests whom Nora had interacted earlier but neither of the duo stopped to make friends. The duo made their way up the stairs and straight into Mary Louise's room.
"Clicked", the lock turned after the door closed behind Nora.
Mary Louise immediately wrapped one of her arms around the waist of Nora and pulled her closer. Gently caressing Nora's cheeks with the other hand, she passionately looked into Nora's eyes before planting a long kiss on the forehead. She gently kissed Nora's nose before their lips locked. The kiss sent a current through Nora's body and the brunette could no longer contain her desire. Nora vampire speed pushed Mary Louise towards the bed and landed on top of her lover, their lips still locked. The blonde countered and spun Nora over, pinning her to the bed, bodies pressed together.
"Nora, I love you."
Nora could never get tired of hearing this love declaration from Mary Louise.
"Mare, I love you too", Nora replied lovingly while looking into Mary Louise's greenish beautiful eyes.
Mary Louise lowered to kiss Nora's lips and the small kisses became more intense till their tongues danced.
"Hmm blood, did Mare feed?" Nora thought to herself as she could taste fresh blood from their kisses.
She slowly worked her way up from underneath the dress Nora wore and threw their dresses and undergarments to the floor beside the bed. Unclasping Nora's bra, Mary Louise massaged her breasts and heard Nora moaned softly. She continued to kiss and worked her way down to lick Nora's sensitive parts till the moans became louder and more rapid.
"Ahhh…Mare..."
"Mare…I won't be able to keep it down anymore…our family…can hear."
Mary Louise merely smirked and continued.
Nora struggled to get the last few words out just as Mary Louise plunged her fingers in. Her fingers thrusted in and out and when it circled inside, Nora moaned loudly. Nora gasped and breathed deeply as she clenched tightly onto Mary Louise's back. She involuntarily rocked her hips in momentum with her fingers till ecstasy hit.
"Ahhhh!" Nora shook uncontrollably as she screamed.
Mary Louise lunged and their lips interlocked again. This time, she felt Mary Louise's tongue down her throat. Nora could feel that Mary Louise was a little different that evening, she was much more forceful and possessive.
Their euphoria was soon interrupted.
"Tap Tap Tap"
"Tap Tap Tap"
Their kiss broke, Nora gasped and struggled to regain herself as she tried to calm down. Wrapping the blanket around her, she tried to locate her clothes and was just about to get off the bed when Mary Louise pulled Nora back into the bed and back hugged her.
"Mare!" Nora protested cheerily.
"The door!" She pointed towards the direction of the knocks.
"Go away please", Mary Louise shouted across the room in a voice so clear that whoever is on the other side of the door could hear.
"Tap Tap Tap"
"Tap Tap Tap"
The knocks repeated with the same rhythm just like before.
"Mare, how could you, it's Beau!"
Agitated with Mary Louise's behaviour, Nora freed herself and went to the door with a blanket wrapped around her.
"Clicked", the door opened.
"Beau what's wrong?" Nora asked in a concerned voice when she noticed Beau's unease expression.
Beau pointed to the ground, diagonally below where they stood, and gestured Nora to listen.
