Warning: Smutty chapter is smutty! You have been warned!


Elijah had to sigh in exasperation when they returned to their hotel room. What was supposed to a romance, sex-filled day with Eternity had ended up being a violent and rather exhausting morning of defeating enemies. He was feeling rather tired and couldn't help but to hope the encounter with both Loki and Niklaus was the last crisis they would face for at least a few days.

He needed the break from the drama.

Once they were settled, Elijah found himself at the mini bar as Eternity floated over to the window. He watched her admiringly all the while. The morning light shone over her, making her shimmer in that ethereal way of hers. He grabbed himself another bourbon, pouring the amber liquid into a tumbler and sipping from it as he watched her stand there perfectly while still wearing only his suit jacket.

On the way up to their room, she did clean herself of all the filth from battle magically. Though she didn't speak the whole time and he hadn't felt like pressing her to, he had been curious as to what happened during the short time he had been away from her. He understood that things had escalated very quickly, whatever had gone on between her and Loki.

The hotel room was in one piece when they had returned, but that was undoubtedly because of Eternity's restorative magic. Elijah broke away from viewing his lovely lady and gazed around the room as he stood by the bar, trying to imagine the shambles the place must have been in before. He imagined body shaped holes in the walls, furniture tipped over or torn to shreds, and anything that was glass or otherwise breakable had been shattered. Then of course there was the deep hole in the floor that they had fallen through, down many stories to the hotel bar.

It was fortunate that his lady had restoration powers or else they would have had to find other residence while in town.

"Elijah," Eternity suddenly called to him, so softly that it was almost hard for his vampire hearing to catch.

"Yes, Sweetheart?" He called back, as he left the glass of bourbon and went to stand closer to where she was.

She didn't look at him, only continued to stare out of the window, "Those Coexisters that we destroyed earlier, there are more threats out there than just those people, yes?"

Elijah nodded, knowing she could see it in the reflection of the window glass as he stood to one side just behind her shoulder. "There are more. The other members of each elder's family will be certainly coming for us," he said. "We should consider striking them before they can come for us."

Eternity hummed and nodded slowly.

He could see her reflection in the glass as well. She seemed lost. Her eyes didn't hold any life in them as they stared blankly out over the city. It had him deeply concerned. He could sense her quiet distress. Whatever happened between her and Loki must have profoundly affected her.

Elijah closed the gap between them in a few long strides, forcing her to face him and then pulling Eternity into his embrace. He held her tightly to him, resting his cheek against the side of her head, and she wrapped her hands firmly around his back, her little hands fisting the back of his dress shirt as she did. He cupped the back of her head and simply held her, feeling her trembling beneath his hands.

"What is it, Sweetheart?" Elijah whispered into her hair. "What's wrong?"

Immediately, she fluidly pulled away from him and turned back to the window, away from him. To say it didn't hurt to see her do so would have been a lie. Yet, he was more concerned with whatever was bothering her to worry about such pain.

"Tell me," he insisted.

"I am afraid," murmured Eternity in confession. "I can lead armies, fight impossible battles, be the bravest to ever lived, but I am afraid of a man, who is not stronger than I, yet has such a capability to cripple me, making me weak before him, and only him. I gave him this power willingly long ago, but now that I want it back, I cannot formulate the strategy that would win it back from him." She paused to sigh tiredly, "What has become of me? Why can't I let me go from his grasp?"

Of course it had been Loki that she was talking about. Who else would she have been speaking?

Elijah sighed, "That is what loving the wrong person can do. You aren't alone in this feeling of helplessness. We all have this weakness, from mortal to otherworldly. Love is perhaps one of the most powerful emotions there is. It can cripple us all, if misused, no matter our physical prowess."

"What use is a heart, if it can cripple even the bravest of warriors?" She responded bitterly.

He answered with a question of his own, "What did Loki say to you?"

Eternity turned to him then.

"The same things he always does," she shrugged. "He speaks of ownership over my person, tells me that I'll never escape him, that I belong with him, and then he proceeds to deliver a most powerful threat against any obstacle that lays in his way of taking me as he so desires. Not only is this threat against my lover, if I have one at the time of it's issuing, but also toward my own will against him. He knows how to break me; a perfect enemy. The more he speaks the same words, the more I am inclined to believe them and fall back to his side."

Elijah approached her, reaching to grasp the back of her head and pulling hers to his so that he could rest his forehead against hers. "Don't listen to him," he practically growled. "If you start to doubt yourself, then you will be lost to more misery at his hand. You'll foolishly go back to him, because of his manipulation of you. You are strong and brave and anything but weak. And I am here with you, for better or worse, always and forever. Just stay with me and all will be well."

Eternity sighed in contentment, or at least, that was what it sounded like to him. "I love you, Elijah, and never, ever forget it," she breathed.

"I love you, Eternity," he replied, leaning back a little to kiss her lips tenderly. "I could never forget the woman who has stolen my heart so completely."

She grinned at him slightly. Though, there was still this lethargy about her, a sadness that didn't seem to be going away any time soon. It broke his heart to see her like this. Yet, he wasn't sure if there was anything that he could do to help her, except to simply be there with her.

Perhaps a distraction was the best course of action right now, he thought.

Elijah kissed Eternity again, this time more passionately. She reciprocated eagerly, despite her listlessness, clinging to him more. He slowly moved his arms from around her and carefully removed his suit jacket that hung around her shoulders, sweeping it from her body and letting it fall to the floor behind her.

He broke away from her mouth to pepper kisses along her jaw and down the column of her neck. As he did, he gruffly murmured, "You know, I was surprised and extremely displeased earlier, when you put your body on full display for anyone to see, including my brother...again. I told you before that you were not to be so careless in the future, remember?"

Eternity hummed in the affirmative to him, but didn't speak.

Elijah nipped at her throat harshly in response. "What was that, Sweetheart?"

"Yes, I remember," she gasped.

He smirked against her skin, continuing his loving assault upon her flesh.

"I was angry, so blindly furious, that I didn't care about my state of undress," explained Eternity. "But it was more than that, as to why I remained bare."

"Oh?" He leaned back to peer curiously at her.

She smirked, a little bit of life returning to her eyes then, "Well, you commanded that I was to stay in my state of undress before you left to meet with Niklaus. Remember, my love? I couldn't very well disobey, now could I?" She spoke cheekily.

Elijah's smirk widened in response, "I suppose you have a point. Though, my previous command should have taken priority once others were involved. You showed others what is solely for my eyes only. I'll have to punish you, regardless of your earlier obedience."

Eternity moaned slightly and shivered delightedly. "Oh, I look forward to it," she whispered, challengingly.

He growled playfully and swiftly picked her up just to toss her onto the large sized bed that was only a few feet from where they stood. With his vampire speed, Elijah was hovering over her on the soft surface, pinning her wrists to it by her head. She didn't struggle against him, instead she remained defiant; the challenge never leaving her sapphire eyes.

"Are you challenging me, lovely Eternity?" Elijah murmured down to her, a small devious smile playing upon his lips. "You do know what happened the last time you did such a thing, yes?"

"Aye I do and it was amazing," she groaned, her eyes fluttering shut.

With a chuckle, he attached his mouth to her throat. He suckled there, causing purpled marks to appear on her otherwise flawless skin. She cupped the back of his head, trying to keep him there, but he wasn't having it.

With rough movements, he removed himself from her grasp, sitting up on his knees and quickly flipping Eternity over onto her stomach. She yelped in surprise, having not anticipated his actions beforehand. Then he lifted her hips, so that her backside was in the air.

Elijah ran his hands gently over the soft globes that were on display before him. He smiled about at the way Eternity sighed contently at his touch. His gentleness didn't last long. Once he had her relaxed enough, he raised his hand and then came down with a resounding slap against the flesh of her right cheek. She gasped in surprise, which quickly turned into a loud moan.

He did this again and again, alternating between right and left globes until she was a shaking, moaning mess that begged for more of his delicious abuse upon her backside. He could smell her arousal rise all the while, making his own desire for her grow exponentially. Before long, it was too much to bear and he decided quickly that it was time to move on from her punishment.

Only untucking his shirt and undoing his pants just enough to release his cock, Elijah moved into position behind her. He rubbed his length along her slickness, causing her to push back. She wanted him inside her. Yet, he held back, choosing instead to tease her this way verses immediately giving her what they both wanted.

"Please, Elijah," Eternity eventually begged, having grown impatient it seemed.

He groaned as she pushed back against him, urging him to join their bodies. The temptation was strong and he wasn't really in the mood to hold back for long right then. Therefore, Elijah didn't waste another moment in giving Eternity what she begged him for. Linking up with her entrance, he gripped her hips tightly and shoved himself inside her in one fluid motion.

They both moaned at the feeling of being joined. As always, it was exquisite to feel Eternity's warmth wrapped around him. It was the best feeling he had ever experienced.

After a moment, Elijah slid almost completely out of her, only to thrust back into her roughly. Over and over, he moved harshly, making her cry out loudly in pleasure. The sounds of her cries mingled with the sound of slapping skin as he took her hard and fast, without mercy.

Soon, he changed his position slightly, leaning over her back with one hand braced upon the soft bed and the other still grasping her hip as he continuously moved with her, taking them higher and higher until they were falling over the edge together, both crying out in a deafening echo as the intense sensations of completion took hold of them.

While this wasn't what Elijah had envisioned when he dragged his lady to the swanky hotel, he couldn't say that it wasn't still satisfying. And better still, it wasn't over. There was certainly more to come.

As he rested against her back, he heard her whine and push back against him, begging for more. He couldn't help the smirk that played upon his lips at her eagerness. Kissing her bare shoulder, he moved off of her, which earned him a moan of disappointment when he dislodged himself from her slick depths.

Elijah stood and removed his clothes quickly, while Eternity rolled over onto her back to watch him needfully. He watched her watch him, viewing her as her hands moved over her body to caress her own soft flesh. It was beautiful - she was beautiful.

Keeping his tie wrapped around his hand, Elijah joined his lady upon the bed once more. He took both her hands in his and proceeded to wrap the silk fabric around her wrists in a gently, yet firm manner.

Once she was bound, he moved her hands so they rested above her head. "Keep them there, Sweetheart," he instructed gently with a hint of warning should she disobey him.

Eternity said nothing, only looked at him pleadingly.

As he moved over her, between her parted thighs, Elijah grinned devilishly at her as he said, "I hope you do realize that I'm not going to stop loving your body until your hoarse from screaming - and then some."

She whined and shivered pleasurably. "Do your worst, Elijah," she groaned at him. "Please!"

Elijah chuckled and proceeded to do exactly as he said he would. For the remainder of the day and well into the night, he loved her body over and over again until she couldn't scream anymore from the pleasure that he brought to her form.
