Disclaimer: I don't own The Vampire Diaries, only my OC. Y'all know what I'd do if I did own them...and Elijah would be my slave forever more!

Fiona walked up to the picnic table as she wound down from the endurance training. As much as she had hated Klaus for pushing the grueling routine he'd crafted on her, she knew it was the best thing he could have done for her. Not that she was telling him that. Ever. But she was stronger than she had ever imagined possible and her stamina had grown by leaps and bounds. She still bitched and moaned about the stupid thing, but both Klaus and Elijah knew that was more a matter of principle than because of any real problem she had. She took the glass with the elixir that Elijah held out to her, she hadn't forgotten that little stunt he'd pulled in the car earlier. She was going to get him back for it alright.

"I think we might have to up the degree of difficulty on your endurance training. You're finishing this in less than half the time of what it used to take you." Elijah said contemplatively.

"And I think you wake up every morning with a 'Find new ways to torture Fee' mission," she snapped back.

"That's not necessarily my first thought...maybe the fourth or fifth." He said, eyes brimming with amusement.

"Aren't you the funny guy. Who'da thunk." Fiona said with as much sarcasm as she could muster.

"I have my moments, rare as they may be." He said with what looked like an almost full smile.

"I'm so honoured to be the recipient of such a rarity!" She bit out as she walked by him to place the glass on the table.

"You should be. It's quite the privilege you know." He said from just behind her. His proximity was doing the usual things to her; accelerated heartbeat, hitch in breathing, rise in temperature. She swore she could feel his smirk as her body reacted to his nearness, damn him.

"I can't say I don't enjoy hearing how I affect you. It can boost a man's ego." He whispered smugly in her ear. As she felt him step back she thought, oh no you don't. She turned around and stepped into him, not leaving any space between them. Elijah froze. She looked up at him as she placed her hands just below his ribs and slowly slid them up to his shoulders, she took another step closer. His hands clutched her hips, fingers digging in as she felt his body react to her. She lifted up to her toes and his eyes closed as his head began its descent.

Just before Elijah expected to at last taste her, he felt her breath on his ear as she whispered, "It's not the only thing it seems to boost in you." She moved slightly against the evidence of his desire as if to stress her statement. Elijah's eyes flew open and his hold on her slackened. She sent him a tantalizing smile before she waltzed away from him and back to training. That vixen was definitely going to be the end of him, Elijah thought as he watched her talk with Klaus.

"Thrust, thrust, hack, swivel. Anticipate the next move. Don't wait for me to make one." Klaus shouted out tersely as they moved with battle ax and sword. They'd been at it for a while now, and while Fiona knew she was getting so much better with her weapon of choice, no one beat Klaus while he wielded a sword. The man was a demon with it. They continued to clang their weapons and move to their own rhythms trying to throw the other off.

Elijah knew he was enjoying this far too much to be the objective eye he was supposed to be. If there was a man alive that could resist being turned on by the view of supple muscles flexing and moving while encased in a body built to drive a man to distraction, he'd bow down to him. Added to the current enticing view, that almost kiss nearly three hours ago and the weeks of sexual tension and anticipation, it was little wonder his libido had yet to settle down.

Feeling Fiona's body against his during training and trying to remain aloof to the effect she had on him was proving to be difficult today. The siren had him enthralled, and Elijah was having more and more difficulty trying to leash in the predatorial male inside of the gentleman in him. He was well aware that Fiona knew how she affected him and was enjoying torturing him this afternoon. He'd thought he was prepared for her paying him back for his cheek in the car earlier, but if he'd known she would stretch him to the end of his tether he might have behaved differently.

"That was good, love. You'll never beat me in a sword fight, but you sure are holding your own." Klaus said with pride as they stopped their weapons training session. Elijah pushed himself off the tree he was leaning against and walked towards them.

"I really do feel like an Amazon when I've got this baby in my hands." Fiona said enthusiastically as she swished the ax back and forth doing complex twists and turns at a rapid pace.

"Easy there Hippolyta. Give that to me before you hurt one of us." Elijah said as he plucked the ax out of Fiona's hands with nimble fingers.

"As if I could ever do that with your reflexes." Fiona groused, annoyed to have her weapon taken away. The Originals had already started to walk towards the house and Fiona followed, dreaming of a nice hot shower to relieve her muscles after all the training she'd done that day. Now that she'd stopped, she could feel every ache and pain in her body.

"Well get here soon. We're done here for the day. You should wind up as well." Klaus ordered into his phone and then hung up on whoever was on the other end. He turned to Elijah and said, "Bekah says they should be another thirty to forty minutes, then they'll be here." Elijah seemed irritated with this bit of news but nodded to his brother in acknowledgement.

"In that case, I'm going to head home and shower. I need one after that session." She said.

"Use one of the many showers we have here. No point driving you all the way to your house and back." Klaus said dismissively.

"I'm not sure what hybrid hygiene entails, but we humans generally like clean clothes when we're done with a shower." Fiona replied acerbically.

"Hilarious. Bekah's got tons of clothes she's never used… borrow hers." Klaus replied.

"Seriously?" Fiona said in exasperation.

"He's right. Our sister is ever fond of spending our money without any respect, she's always got mountains of clothes she has yet to touch." Elijah put in.

"Fine. Since you two are too bloody lazy to drive me just show me to her room." Fiona said as she threw up her hands in defeat.

Elijah led her up to Rebekah's room and pointed out the closet, then walked out closing the door behind him. She walked to the double doors he'd pointed to and opened them. She felt like she'd stepped into an alternate universe and decided Alice Cullen and Rebekah Mikaelson was cut from the same cloth. She was sure Alice would approve and perhaps even be in awe of Rebekah's closet.

Fiona wandered through and after a time finally found a pair of teal skinny fit ankle cut off trousers, a white strappy tank top with a sweetheart neckline and a mustard fitted cardigan. She'd also found some brand new lingerie with the price tags s and was thanking the powers that be that Rebekah bought more than she could wear. Fiona thought this friendship with the Original had suddenly gotten a lot more alluring and she was definitely going to find a lot more to "borrow" from her new bestie's closet.

While Rebekah's closet had made the little girl in Fiona squeal, she knew the vampire's shower would make her sore muscles weep with joy. As she stood under the perfect pressure and temperature of water and let it soothe her aching body, Fiona thought she could get used to this. Maybe she could convince Rebekah into a place swap. She could have Fiona's human life for a while and she'd enjoy being a pampered Original...except she'd still be human and Rebekah a vampire, but that was all just unnecessary details. She just had to figure out how to persuade the Original, maybe Klaus could compel her.

Fiona stepped out after twenty minutes of bliss and wished she could do this every day. She wrapped her hair in one of the fluffy towels as she took another to pat her body down. Once she'd finished she helped herself to Rebekah's J'adore body lotion. The girl sure had some impeccable taste. After moisturising herself Fiona felt utterly pampered. She unwrapped her hair and patted it dry before throwing the towel into the laundry dispenser and walked out to the bedroom. Just as she reached the bed where the clothes were laid out, the door opened. Elijah stood in the doorway with his hand on the knob, a concerned expression on his face. It vanished when he took in Fiona wrapped only in a towel with hair glistening like red-gold fire.

As he stood, feeling his blood draining from his head right into his loins, his eyes tracked a drop of water as it trickled from her hair down her neck and onto her collar bone. Before Fiona could draw her next breath he had flashed in front of her. He lifted his hand as he slowly, painstakingly retraced the path of the droplet till his fingers reached the curve of her jaw and stopped. He looked into her eyes and she swore she saw herself drowning in them. Then he clutched her neck and drew her to him as he swooped in and captured her lips in a swift and decisive motion. His other hand gripped her hip and yanked her to him while her arms twined about his neck pressing herself closer.

It was a battle of tongues and lips and teeth. Both of them trying to assert their authority, and neither willing to bow down. He changed the angle trying to get more of her, gentling his assault in the process. She slid one hand into his hair curling her fingers into them, responding to his gentleness with a sweetness that was almost innocent. His hand slid to her back pressing her more firmly into his body as his other hand cupped the back of her head tilting it just so.

While the kiss had started off as a battle that was all passion and lust, it had now turned into a low simmering of heat that was all about savoring each other. As they finally drew apart, holding onto the others lips to the last moment, they opened their eyes and looked at the other. Both their breathing was rapid and both were equally aroused.

"I've imagined that so many times. None of it could have prepared me for the reality." Elijah breathed out as he looked piercingly into her eyes.

"As much as I enjoyed that, I think I will need more practice to decide if it's something that I want to continue to do regularly. A LOT more practice." Fiona croaked out horsely as she leaned forward and kissed Elijah's smiling lips.

Elijah pulled back and said, "I'd love to continue "practicing" Elskan, but the others have arrived. It's best we get down before you tempt me further. It would probably be good if you got dressed as well." He smirked as he quickly leaned in and kissed her firmly before he flashed back to the door. Fiona narrowed her eyes and said, "I really hate these vampire abilities you know. They've been nothing but a nuisance to me."

Finally some release to all that tension! Phew! Like it? Want more? Tell me, tell me!

You'll may have noticed that Elijah calls Fee "Elskan" instead of "Elska". The lovely Nina, who is from Norway, pointed out that what I had used previously was the wrong term. So here on out, the endearment will be "Elskan". Thank you Nina for pointing out the error of my ways and helping me remedy it, you rock!

Hippolyta was the queen of the Amazons, hence Elijah calling Fee that.

Leave me reviews peeps..NOW!
