CHAPTER SEVEN-The Thin Line Between Us
"Are you okay?" Stefan asked her, his voice raw and his lips nearly burning for more. He was hovering over her as he heard her cry out, stopping his assault of kisses and instead he was gazing at her, his fingers were grazing the side of her face as she looked up at him.
"Yeah, I'm just..." Elena began to say as she ran her fingers against the collar of his unbuttoned shirt.
"What?" Stefan asked, pushing himself off of her and helping her off the floor, to her feet.
"My red lipstick is all over your neck...ha! Oh my god. Do you have another meeting with those guys?" Elena asked, her fingertips starting to button up her shirt again as Stefan stood in front her, his hands instantly stopping her hands. Elena smiled at him in an worried way as he stepped closer to her.
" Yeah, I do..Something with the club that we're going to be using as your cover. In about an hour. Elena, are you worried about me?" Stefan asked, his hands lingering on her shirt at he pulled her closer, his lips just inches away from hers.
"Maybe...Do you need a little brunette distraction?" She asked against his lips, before pushing him back against the couch. A sinister smile forming across her face as she climbed onto his lap.
Stefan swallowed hard as he ran his fingers through her hair, watching her silky brown hair fall between his hands as he locked his eyes with hers. "I know how to do my job. You don't need to worry about me. I know what I'm doing." Stefan told her, reassuring her in a confident tone.
"Are you sure..I mean, What if..." Elena began to say, swallowing hard as she too ran her fingers through his hair, playing with the few short hairs on the back of his head.
"Nothing will happen. I mean, if you really want..I can arrange for you to come with me. If you want. But, Elena this guy is dangerous and we need to make sure that our covers are solid." Stefan told her, his hands now resting on her hips, playing with the pockets on the back of her jeans.
"Solid..hmm...Oh, I think we've got that covered fairly well. Please Stefan, let me go with you to this meeting...I'm just going to make sure that my boyfriend comes home to me in one piece...I really don't want your beautiful face busted up because of some asshole." Elena told him, her hand caressing his jaw line as she heard Stefan gasp.
"Elena...you should go get ready. I need you looking sharp...remember your mine. I want them to see that, to feel it." Stefan told her, kissing her lips as he said the last sentence, feeling Elena push into him more. She had her hands around his neck, her lips roughly kissing his, tugging at the bottom of his lips with her teeth, which made Stefan groan with pleasure.
Stefan exhaled deeply as he pulled her closer with his hands, her hips nearly grinding into him as he suddenly felt her warm breath against his skin, leaving kisses against his neck and then back up to his ear. She was pulling on his earlobe with her teeth, licking his skin before she spoke. "Do you feel it? I want you to feel it too." Elena whispered in a seductive tone as she felt Stefan's hands travel up to her shoulders, slipping off her cotton button up shirt as she closed her eyes to his touch.
She wasn't sure when they had moved from the couch to her back being pushed up against a wall in the living room. It had all seemed like a blur of heat and skin. But, Elena's moans filled the living room and Stefan's ears as she wrapped her legs around his waist line and he pushed her up against the wall, forcefully. He was kissing her neck and leaving her in nothing more than her red bra and her half unbuttoned jeans. Stefan's moist lips lingered on her skin, half way down her shoulders and almost in between her breasts as Elena pulled his face up to hers, locking her lips to his roughly as he kissed her in a sloppy and passionate manner.
Stefan pulled away from her, watching her for a moment as Elena gave him a wild and sexy smirk. "What is it?" She asked him, running her hands across his bare chest, feeling as his muscles tensed under her touch.
"Fuck! We're going to be late." Stefan told her, glancing past her and to the large Roman clock that was in that living room.
"Oh great! Well..." Elena said, pushing herself against his body as she leaned into him. Her lips against his ear as she spoke in a low and rough voice."You might want to wipe off the red lipstick marks on your neck...I don't want them to think that you and I were playing too rough with each other. I'd hate to be the reason for us being late...Mr. Murphy." Elena said as she backed away from Stefan, leaving him wordless as she threw him a flirty glance over her shoulder and walked away, disappearing down the long hallway and into their bedroom to change.
Stefan was dressed in a black short sleeve shirt, a pair of dark washed jeans and a leather jacket as he waited for her. He was silently hoping that he wouldn't have to wait very long and if that would be the case, he would have to leave her behind. Yet, really..He didn't want to.
Just as his hand touched the doorknob to the front door and he had pulled it wide open. Stefan heard the clicking of her black high heels and all he could see in front of him was her lean long legs, her black dress was strapless and it had a strip of lace on the side of her hips, the black fabric tightly hugging every curve around her chest as her long brown hair swayed behind her from her walking up to him.
"So, what do you think...appropriate enough for a hot gangster's girlfriend?" Elena asked with a wide smile as she twirled around and watched as Stefan's eyes almost bulged out of his head from the way her body moved in front of him.
"umm...I...Ha, yeah. You look gorgeous and hot as hell..I kind of wish that we could skip this thing all together...and I could do more to you than just push you up against that wall... And I just hope that you don't kill them all with your looks when we walk in there. The guys name is Aaron and he's a bit of a hard ass and a sneaky snake. He one of Alaric's man guys and once we get in with him...then, we can figure more out about Alaric. So, you're going to need to be close to me while I talk to him. Do you understand?" Stefan asked her as he watched Elena blush, her cheeks turning red at the knowing fact that he had blatantly told her that if it was up to him, he'd rip the damn dress right off of her and miss the meeting with the buyer for the club all together.
"So, Aaron..A hard ass...hmm...He won't like hit on me, will he?" Elena asked curiously as Stefan grabbed her hand into his, shutting the door behind him as they walked to the black Audi R8 that sat in the driveway.
"No, because if he tries..I'll kill him." Stefan told her as he unlocked the car and walked over to the driver's side.
"What happened to the Mercedes?" Elena asked in confusion as she leaned against the tinted window of the Audi and saw that it had black leather seats and a large stereo dash with a navigation system.
"We're keeping up appearances, Remember?" he said with a wink as he slide into the driver's seat and Elena followed shortly behind. Stefan smiled at her bashfully as he turned the car on and it roared to life.
"When the hell did they take the Mercedes?" Elena began to ask again, just as Stefan lifted up his hand and placed it on her lips, silencing her instantly.
"Sweetheart, I don't have time to worry about that car. I have to worry about this guy Aaron, making sure that we don't screw this up and being able to focus on the task at hand..which is going to be one hell of a challenge with you looking so sexy in that dress that I just want to rip off." Stefan told her as he put the car in reverse and they sped off down the road.
After a 20 minute drive to downtown and a nearly silent car ride, Elena had been nervously playing with her hands as Stefan parked the car in front of what looked like a nearly empty rundown club and looked over at her.
"Hey, You can do this...This is the Absinthe night club and bar that you're going to be purchasing today. I know that it doesn't look like much. But, after the guys from the department come in and help you..It's going to be the spot where we nab most of these gangster's and drug guys. Elena, I will be right here with you, every step of the way. I promise." He told her truthfully as he grabbed her hand into his and squeezed it tightly.
Elena gave Stefan a warm smile as she glanced over at him. "I know you will, you made me a promise of helping me find my brother. So, whatever we need to do until he's home and safe. I am doing it all with you by my side." She replied as she leaned into Stefan and left a quick kiss on his lips.
He smiled at her, caressing her cheek softly as he spoke. "I did make you a promise that I intend on keeping. So, let's go in there and show these guys who we are. Are you ready Miss Fleming?" He asked, straightening his jacket and pulling the keys out of the ignition.
"Yes. I'm ready." Elena said with a smirk as she opened the passenger side door and stepped outside into the cool California breeze.
The club was nearly empty and really run down as Stefan opened the door and they both stepped inside, hand in hand and stone cold expressions on their faces as they walked past the empty bar and a few men that were talking amongst themselves stopped and turned around.
"Hey! Can I help you?" One of them asked, nearly falling out of his chair when he eyed Elena up and down and he saw her smile at him.
"Yes, in fact you can. My name is Elena Fleming and this is my boyfriend, Stefan Murphy. We're here to see Aaron." Elena told him, her face seemed distant and ice cold as the man licked his lips at her and cleared his throat.
"Well, sweetheart Your looking at him. You've come to the right place..But, you shouldn't have brought him with you. Your man over hear with his face like a stone is killing my mood." Aaron told her, still keeping his eyes squarely on the swaying of her hips as she took a step back and grabbed Stefan's hand tightly.
"He's here for my protection. I'm sure you'd understand." She said with a smirk, looking over at Stefan who gave her a small smile. He was letting her take control of the situation and part of him was beaming inside at the fact that it seemed like Elena knew exactly what she was doing, she was a natural.
