Chapter 9:

"So you're only coming here to get what you want? A quick bang and maybe even some information you can pass on to your brother?" Kenzie asked.

Kol sat up and looked down at her, frowning at first but then the look in his eyes suddenly turned soft and she saw a side of him she hadn't seen before.

One that seemed almost human.

"If I'd wanted information from you then I'd gotten it ages ago…" he said, his gaze lowering down to her body. "And your body."

Kenzie blushed. "What stopped you then?"

Kol stroked her cheek gently with his thumb and she felt the beat of her heart go faster rather than slower. Her eyes were fixated on his lips, but when she finally let herself meet his eyes, she saw them dilate slightly.

His hand moved down to her necklace and she let him yank it off without protesting or fighting him. She wanted to see what he would do and give in a little to that dangerous temptation that she'd tried to resist for so long.

"You can remember the kiss we shared that night I saved your life."

Kenzie blinked and suddenly felt the memory come flooding back. She saw flashback of them making out in this very same motel room, of him poking a hole in her bottom lip with his fang and she felt the wonderful sensation of his lips against hers.

But she also remembered that he pulled away when she offered him her neck.

Why would he pull away? Unless…

"Do you… have feelings for me?" she asked softly.

"No," It was a lie and they both knew that. "A vampire can't love. Love is… a vampire's greatest weakness and I'm not weak, Kenzie. I never have and never will be."

So this is why he compelled me? He was afraid that he was in love with me?

"We are enemies, Kol. We're supposed to kill each other, but… I don't want to kill you. Not now."

Kol seemed to understand what she wanted, because he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, kissing her softly at first and then as her arms wrapped around him, he deepened the kiss.

Kenzie felt his hands move slowly up under the fabric of her blouse, her body shivering slightly at the familiar and warm touch of his fingers. She closed her eyes and allowed his tongue to enter her mouth, tasting a mixture of what she guessed was red wine and blood.

His fangs extended slowly as the kiss turned more fervently and urgent, making her craving for the feeling of them sinking into her neck.

She'd never been bitten by a vampire, who didn't want to kill her before, but when he sunk his fangs into her neck and drank her blood, it felt so overwhelming that she accidentally moaned.

She felt Kol smiling against her skin at the sound, but she didn't care. She unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off him, tossing it aside and then moved her fingers down to his pants.

Kenzie went to unbutton them as well, but Kol suddenly pulled away and let her move on top of him, then sat up and pulled her blouse off by ripping it apart.

"Hey, I liked that blouse…" she said teasingly.

"Yeah, well I didn't…" he said, chuckling and smiling sweetly.

She rolled her eyes and continued kissing him passionately, feeling his fingers bury in her hair and his other fingers touching her back so delicately that it made her shiver again.

She soon felt her bra disappear as well, but it was first when they both lay bare in the bed that she realized what she was about to do.

She was about to sleep with the enemy.

Kol took in the sight of her bare and exposed body for a moment before he lay back down and let her position herself properly on him.

"Ever slept with a vampire before?" he asked.

"Nope, but there's always a first time for everything. I bet you haven't slept with a hunter before either-no wait, I take that back. I bet you're a right manwhore." Kenzie teased.

Kol flashed his trademark smirk and was suddenly the one on top again. She let out another moan as she felt him fully inside her and just closed her eyes, enjoying every bit of the sweet temptation she was giving in to.

Every bite, every kiss and every thrust was bliss to her and as much as she hated to admit it, then he did have impressive bed skills.

Not that she was going to tell him that of course…

Everything was so engulfing and so intoxicating that she forgot about the world around them and all the bad things that had happened in her life.

She let go of the past and savored every second of the present, because she knew that once they parted, they could never go back to feeling this way again.

Not unless there was some way to undo the bonding spell and still kill Klaus.

By the time they were finally able to let go of each other, Kol didn't leave like she expected, but stayed in the bed and pulled her close to him instead, allowing her to enjoy the warmth he created inside her for a bit longer time.

And so she fell asleep in his arms and she slept more peacefully that she'd ever done for what felt like a very long time.

Even in the morning and afternoon they stayed in bed together, just lying and relaxing even though they were both fully awake and should be parting.

"That Dev fella… I don't like him." Kol said, breaking the long silence between them.

Kenzie raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Oh, let me guess. It's because he wants to 'play' with 'your' toy, isn't it?" she teased.

"Yes, that and then he just annoys me. But all young vampires do that… They're so bloody arrogant."

Kenzie snorted. "Says one of the most arrogant vampires I've ever met."

He shook his head and sat up. "That doesn't count. I'm an Original. I'm special."

"Yeah, you're right about that. You are a special little vampire…"

Kol rolled his eyes and took a look at his watch. "Ohh, Nik is not going to be happy with me. I was supposed to help him finding that damn white oak tree the Native Americans allegedly rebuilt. Did you know that I was actually the one who sat the first one on fire?"

"That doesn't surprise me, actually. You do look like a pyromaniac, but have fun with that."

"Cheers (!) But I heard that you're looking for the tree too… so you can kill me and my oh-so-fantastic siblings and I."

Kenzie shrugged. "So?"

"So… I bet you know where the new tree is then."

"Even if I did then I wouldn't tell you and if you try compelling me into saying it, then you can kiss my ass goodbye!"

Kol pouted. "But I love biting your ass… your breasts too… and especially your–"

Kenzie covered his mouth and then kissed him, distracting him from what he was about to say. She wanted to feel his lips one last time in case it actually was going to be the last she would get.

"Stay with me for a bit longer."

He looked genuinely surprised to hear that, but he decided to turn his cell phone off and then crashed his lips against hers again.

"You know, I knew you had the hots for me, but I didn't expect you to actually sleep with me. What made you change your mind?" he asked curiously.

Kenzie shrugged. "I guess I was hoping that you could distract me a little from all the crazy things that are going on lately," she answered. "I shouldn't say this Kol, but… I like you. I hate you, but… it's nothing like the hatred I have to your brother."

Kol looked perplexed at first, but then he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, smiling weakly.

"So… are we keeping this a secret or you don't care that everyone finds out you just slept with a vampire?"

Kenzie grinned. "You better keep this a secret. Dev would try killing you if he found out about this and I bet your siblings won't be happy about it either."

"Well, that's their problem then, isn't it?"

She eyed him firmly. "I'm serious Kol. Don't say this to anyone and if you do then I'll start telling people that you not only suck in bed, but also–"

He clamped a hand over her mouth. "Fine. But you can't deny that I was utterly amazing in bed."

She laughed and began stepping out of the bed. "Sure, keep telling yourself and others that (!)"

Kol growled and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her back down onto the bed and holding her arms above her head, so she couldn't move.

"You are a very, very naughty vampire hunter…" he said, his fangs extending once again.

"You know what? I take that back. You are unbelievably and incredibly…" She felt Kol's hands let go of hers and reached for her gun discretely, then suddenly held the gun pointed in his face. "Stupid."

Kol moved away and let her sit up, but she knew that he wasn't giving up that easily. "I better get going, but leave your door unlocked and I might pay you another visit tonight."

He grabbed his boxer shorts and pulled them on, then went looking for the rest of his clothes. She watched him walk around half-naked and definitely enjoyed the sight.

"Did you really mean it when you said that you were playing with my heart?" she asked curiously.

"Of course," Kol answered. "I am playing with you, Kenzie, but not in the way you think. Sometimes it's good to play and have a little fun, you know – especially if you're a vampire hunter."

"I suppose you're right. Thank you for playing with me this morning then."

Kol smirked. "You're welcome. Wish me good luck. I'm sure I'm gonna need it when I'm returning this late."

Kenzie blew him a kiss that he pretended to catch and watched him leave the motel room. Once Kol was outside, he smiled to himself and couldn't stop himself from thinking back to the very early morning he had spent with her.

Of course he was happy that she'd finally given in, but he also felt strangely closer to her and wanted to stay with her for hours.

He couldn't grasp how a human and then a vampire hunter could make him feel the way she did, but he knew that he didn't want it to stop yet.

Still, he felt a certain responsibility to be loyal to Klaus despite what his brother had done to him and his other siblings, so he went home as planned and ended up being nearly an hour late for their meeting, which of course didn't exactly make Klaus happy.

His brother was actually glaring venomously at him when he entered their beautiful home and walked in to the living room where Klaus and their younger sister was.

"Thank you for coming, Kol," Klaus said sarcastically. "Where the hell have you been all night?"

"I bet he was with that hunter again," Rebekah said. "Correct me if I'm wrong."

Kol said nothing and merely walked over to the liquor cabinet, pouring himself a glass of scotch, which for some reason made his younger sister's eyes widen.

"Oh, I cannot believe it! You slept with her, didn't you? You're such a hypocrite!"

"I'm not a hypocrite, Rebekah, but if you really want to know, then yes I was at Kenzie's place. She's such a tease sometimes…"

Klaus rolled her eyes. "I thought I told you to kill her the minute you had the chance or at least get some information from her that we can use. She's the enemy, Kol. Not a toy."

Kol snorted. "Says the man who fancied her cousin. Caroline, was it?"

He smirked because he could see that Klaus was annoyed by his brother's behavior. "At least tell me that you got some information about the tree's whereabouts."

Kol took a sip of his glass. "I didn't, but I followed her to Duke's University. I bet she knows someone there, who has the information we need."

"Was it good then?" Rebekah asked teasingly.

"I didn't sleep with her, little sister. Unlike you, then I'm not a strumpet." Kol lied.

Rebekah growled and threw a pillow at him, but of course she missed like always, making him chuckle and leave the room.

Thanks for reading and please review! ;)
