Chapter 8
When Elena awoke she realized whose arms she was wrapped in. She smiled to herself as she stretched and cuddled closer to the warm body. She felt the arms around her tighten and she sighed in contentment. She lifted her head slowly meeting a waiting stare.
"Good morning" Elijah said smiling at her.
"Good morning" Elena grinned.
She had expected some sort of awkward moment between them but it never came. Instead Elijah pulled her on top of him and claimed her lips softly. Elena molded to his body and gave in to the new urges that were well aware between them. Sometime later Elena and Elijah laid breathless in each other's arms when Elena's stomach growled. She couldn't help but laugh and Elijah joined in with her.
"What would you like for breakfast?" Elijah asked Elena as she met his eyes.
"Hmm I'm not sure. What is a good place to eat around here for breakfast?" Elena asked him.
"Well there is Goose Feathers café. They are the best breakfast place in savannah. It's also a bakery and coffee shop as well" Elijah told her as he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"That sounds good to me, but I think we need a shower" Elena grinned.
"Are you suggesting I join you Miss Gilbert?" Elijah asked as he faked shock.
Elena grinned and climbed from the bed, standing completely naked before him.
"I am" she said softly.
Before Elena could react she found herself in Elijah's arms and into the bathroom they went.
About an hour later Elena and Elijah came out of the bathroom cleaner than anyone in the state of Georgia. Elena for one had never had the morning she had with Elijah ever. She couldn't stop smiling at the thought. Elijah had somehow managed to fetch their clothes from the beach as well making sure he had fresh clothes as well. Elena didn't question it but had opted to wear something simple. She chose a pair of beige board shorts with a white tank top, and a denim jacket. The weather seemed colder today than it had when she arrived no doubt due to approaching storm on the horizon. As Elena brushed her hair she felt arms slip around her waist.
"Are you ready" Elijah asked her as he met her gaze in the mirror.
"Yes" Elena said breathless at the closeness of him.
Elijah grinned knowing he had felt her body grow with arousal as well as his own. If he didn't get them out of that room he was bound to keep her beneath him all day and as much as he wanted that he also knew that Elena needed food. He smiled as he took her hand into his and opened the door. The wind was chilly as it blew across the ocean and at the motel. Elijah could sense the storm and knew that it wasn't going to be a gentle one at that. He also knew that in about an hour the motel would inform the staff and guests of an approaching hurricane and they would need to move rooms. He then decided he would take Elena to his home just south of the city. It wasn't too far from the ocean but it kept him safe enough while hurricanes did come through. He turned to Elena.
"Elena would it be alright if I sent someone to retrieve your things back to my home?" he asked her.
"Um, yes but why?" Elena asked him as she walked beside him to the car.
"There is a hurricane coming and as policy the motel staff will suggest that guests move to other rooms away from the ocean front as a precaution and I would like you safe." He told her honestly as he met her eyes and opened the car door for her.
Elena climbed in and then waited until Elijah was in the car before she could give him an answer.
"Yes. I think that would be a great idea" Elena told him.
"Great, I'll have everything brought to my home. Now what about some breakfast and some shopping before they close this town down" Elijah grinned at her as he started his car and pulled away from the motel.
"You read my mind" Elena laughed as Elijah took her hand into his.
Breakfast went in a flash it seemed. Elijah was right about the food it was amazing. Elena had never eaten so well in all her life as she did with Elijah. Once breakfast was finished they made their way to the main shopping district in Savannah. The shops were clustered together and had somehow managed to have their own charm about them. Elena visited several shops with jewelry and bought Caroline and Bonnie charm bracelet's with something from Savannah on them as well a few personal touches to each as well. She bought Jeremy a really cool man bracelet that seemed to fit him. She smiled as she placed the small satchel into her other bags. It was around noon when the sky grew darker and the wind picked up. Elijah and Elena made their way to Elijah's car in hopes not to get caught in the rain which threatened to fall around them. Once they were seated in the car Elijah's phone rang. He smiled at Elena and looked to see who it was. He looked at Elena and motioned for her to be silent. Elena nodded and did as he requested.
"Hello" Elijah said casually into the phone.
"Elijah, it's Stefan Salvatore" Stefan said smoothly.
"Why hello Stefan, I must say it is shocking to hear from you. Is everything well in Mystic Falls?" Elijah asked him.
"Not particularly. Elena has disappeared and we can't seem to find her. We were wondering if perhaps you could help us find her" Stefan said a little flustered.
He hated to ask the original and Elijah knew it. Elijah couldn't help but smile at the request.
"I see, and why do you believe I would help?" Elijah asked him casually as he started the car.
"Because I know you care for Elena's well-being" Stefan told him.
"I do its true. I'll tell you what I will do" Elijah told him as he pulled into traffic.
"Give me a few days, and I will call you with her location" Elijah told him.
"Very well, thank you Elijah" Stefan told him and hung up.
Elijah did the same and turned his attention to Elena. He would send the Salvatore's on a wild chase and they would be none the wiser to his word. He wasn't ready to let his time with Elena end. Elena smiled at him.
"You're up to something aren't you?" Elena asked him as Elijah hit the gas and turned off the main road to the connecting bridge and drove over it towards his home.
"I am. I am thinking the Salvatore's could use a road trip; why not send them to perhaps see your bother?" Elijah asked her.
"Seriously?" Elena laughed.
"Yes, I believe you told me Jeremy is on vacation with some friends of his in California, so why not" he grinned.
"Mr. Mikealson I believe you are positively devilish" Elena mocked.
"You have no idea" he grinned as he met her eyes.
Elena could feel the warmth traveling from her cheeks to the junction between her legs. This man was making her hot and he knew it. He touched her hand and hit the gas once more leaving savannah behind them.
