I took a shower, and made sure to scrub my body free of any scent other than my coconut and shea butter body wash. I was probably being too thorough, but after what Elijah said, I didn't want to take any chances. I really needed this, a nice long shower. My body was still a bit sore from the other night, and the hot water helped relax my muscles. When I climbed out, I changed into a dress, I felt as though Klaus would appreciate my attempt. It was a sleeveless, blood red cocktail that landed just bellow the curve of my ass. Maybe if I tried to fit in more with the originals, tonight would go by more smoothly. I went back to my room and to my vanity, using it for the first time to do my makeup. I kept it simple, yet elegant to match the dress. I left my hair to air dry, knowing it would turn out wavy. I don't want to come across as Katherine with the curls, but I also didn't want to do the same straight flat hair.
"Wow..." I turned around to see Kol, standing by the door, raising his eyebrows at me. "You can dress, who would've thought."
I scoffed and shook my head, "Get out Kol. You are not allowed in my room." He smirked and took a dramatic step forward, entering my bedroom. I stood up getting nervous, my heart accelerating as he approached me. Memories flashed in front of my eyes, memories of his blood, his hands touching me...
"You can lock me out of a house, but not your bedroom..." He trailed off seemingly amused at my fear. I began to tremble, afraid that what happened last time, would happen again. Images of his touches ghosted over my thoughts and I cringed. "Oh calm down Elena," the way he said my name made me shudder. "I actually came to apologize."
"What?" I was positive the look of confusion was plastered on my face. He looked away, ashamed? No...this can't be right. Kol would never apologize, he wasn't that kind of person. I wondered if this had something to do with me helping Klaus the other night...
"Don't make me repeat it," Kol told me seriously. It wasn't a real apology, but I assumed it was the best I was gonna get. I nodded slowly listening, "I shouldn't have taken advantage of you like that... not that you seemed to mind..." He smirked and I couldn't help but blush under his gaze. "You saved my brother Elena, Finn would've killed him." I bit my lip looking down. Why were they all treating me like some kind of heroine? "Let's just say, I don't want Nik dead. He's annoying but, he's still my brother."
"Finn was your brother too," I pointed out, finding fault in his logic. "Yet, you don't seem to mind that he's gone."
"Finn had been daggered for nine hundred years before Nik raised him. He had been gloom and doom since the day we were turned. His self loathing was a real buzz kill," Kol explained and I tilted my head at him.
"So because your brother was a buzz kill, you're okay that he's dead?" I asked clarifying.
"You still seem confused, why?" Kol smirked amused. None of the originals seemed upset about Finns passing, yet were worried for Klaus? What was it about the hybrid that always made others gravitate towards him? Even I couldn't deny, I felt that same pull. I just couldn't figure it out.
I gave Kol a strained smile, "Nothing, thank you for the apology. You're forgiven, now leave me so I can finish getting ready. If I'm not in the dinning room by seven I'm sure Klaus will have many things to say about it." Kol nodded walking out of the room and I let out a sigh of relief. Sitting back down at the vanity, I finished my makeup and hair, thinking over what Kol said. I still didn't understand many things about this family, but I now understand one for sure. They all loved Klaus, despite who he is and what he's done to them. Klaus was their Jeremy...
After I finished getting ready, I moved down to the kitchen. I had yet again gone days without eating, and I was starving. As I opened the door, the last thing I expected to see was Elijah...cooking. He was chopping up what looked like garlic. I leaned against the door frame, tilting my head at the original. "Is there something particularly interesting about the top of my head?" He looked up at me and I blushed.
"No, it's pretty much the same as the rest of you..." I quipped and he smirked, setting the knife down. He stalked towards me slowly and I looked down unable to meet his intense gaze. When he stood in front of me, he tilted my chin up to look at him. My heart hammered against my chest as he searched my eyes.
"And how is that...?" he teased, caressing my cheek. I leaned into his touch, getting lost in his dark emerald eyes. The way he looked at me sent shivers down my spine. I could tell he sensed how nervous I was, because his expression instantly became amused. "Do I make you nervous?" He chuckled darkly.
"Sometimes," I admitted and he leaned in, pulling me closer to him. It was almost as if he was going to kiss me, but instead he just pressed his forehead against mine. His fingers traced down my arm, then caressed my waist. I felt desire growing inside of me for him, and he smirked pleased.
"Good," He closed the space between us, pulling me into a fiery kiss. I moaned instantly as he devoured me. His hands trailed down my side and to my ass, squeezing my cheeks gently. His kiss was filled with passion and desire, I prayed it would never end. He pressed me flush against him. I could feel his manhood growing harder with every caress. In that moment, the world faded away. It was just me and Elijah. My hands trailed down his suit and to his belt, caressing the bulge that begged to be set free. He moaned against my mouth and I bit down on his bottom lip playfully. Elijah pushed me up against the counter and lifted me up, so I was sitting on it. I wrapped my legs around his waist, closing the distance between our fronts. In that moment, I wanted nothing more for the original to consume me.
"Well, this... explains a lot..." I instantly pulled away from Elijah at the sound of Kol's voice. My face turned a bright shade of red, while Elijah looked annoyed. Kol had entered the kitchen, catching us in our moment. I felt my heart accelerate at the thought of him telling Klaus. The small amount of freedom and privacy I was given was about to be ripped away. As if reading my thoughts Kol shook his head, "I saw nothing..." He turned away leaving me and Elijah alone.
"S-sorry..." I stumbled and Elijah smiled softly. "Got carried away..." I trailed off remembering our conversation earlier. I had to be careful, we both did. Klaus was walking around, it could've been him that entered the kitchen. Then we would really be screwed. I was thankful Kol seemed to understand the ideal of discretion.
"Its my fault Elena," He helped me down from the counter and I straightened up my dress. "I have a hard time controlling myself in your presence..." he admitted sheepishly. I blushed and reached up to kiss his cheek.
"Do you need help cooking?" He smiled down at me and shook his head. "Well too bad, I'm helping anyways," I moved to the island where he was working, and I began to cut up the garlic for him. He moved to stand beside me, watching as I worked. We continued like this until dinner was prepared. I put the meal on the stove, letting it simmer as Elijah went to go retrieve his siblings. The woman joined me in the kitchen so she could make us up our plates. I moved to the dinning room, taking my seat in my usual spot beside Klaus', and waited patiently for the siblings to arrive.
As Klaus entered the room he hesitated, drinking in the sight of me. I stood nervously and played with the hem of my dress, "too much?" Klaus shook his head and smirked at me, though something in his eyes... I must be going crazy... He was looking at me differently. Was it because I saved his life? It really was not that big of a deal, they all needed to stop this behavior.
"You look ravishing," He approached me and kissed my cheek. I froze in place, not expecting that display. He looked down at me, amused by my stiff reaction, "Calm down love," he whispered soft and I let out a sigh. "Tonight after all, is about you..."
"Why?" I asked taking my seat. Klaus joined me and his arrogant smirk faded. I scrunched my eyebrows, trying to read the hybrid. I couldn't understand what it was that he was so caught up on? I did what I had to do...
"Elena," he began seriously. His voice pulled me in, entrapping me. I felt lost in his deep sea eyes. I almost thought I was being compelled, but I soon realized it was just the way he was staring at me. As if I was his salvation. "What you did out there, I would have died. Finn was going to kill me, and you were on the bridge of death as well. In your last moments you chose to save me, for whatever reason I will never be able to understand." I blushed and bit my lip, holding on to every word. "Thank you. I have not seen such an act of bravery and selflessness in my thousand years on this earth. After everything I've done to you..." He looked away, as if lost in the memories of how he hurt me. I couldn't help but replay them in my mind too. In truth, I wasn't sure if I saved him because of Elijah. That was just what I was telling myself, because I didn't know the real reason. In that moment, it just felt like the right thing to do.
"Couldn't let a talent like yours go to waste," I teased knowing how he knew of my admiration for his art. He smirked and looked back at me.
"Well I guess I have you to thank for killing my brother," Rebekah walked in and took her seat at the table. Kol and Elijah followed behind. I frowned and nodded, not wanting to deny the truth. I suppose Finns death meant something to her, unlike her brothers.
"I'm sorry..." I felt the guilt plague me and she sighed softly shaking her head. I could see the mixture of emotions swimming in her eyes. If she had to chose one, which brother would she have chosen?
"You also saved Nik so, we are even," she left it at that and moved her attention elsewhere. I was grateful for when the subject changed and moved away from me. We ate as the siblings fell into comfortable conversation. I couldn't help but steal glances across the table at Elijah. My heart skipping a beat each time his eyes met mine. I moved my leg under the table to caress his and I took notice as he stiffened. I smirked lightly and moved my foot up his leg, teasing him. I tried to be as inconspicuous as possible as I moved my leg up his and towards his growing bulge. I felt him grab my foot before I could move further and he gently removed it from his lap. I blushed as he gave me warning looks. Looks that told me I would be punished for that later.
I glanced at Klaus just to make sure he didn't notice, he was wrapped in conversation with his sister. Both were bickering over something that happened centuries ago. Once we finished eating, Klaus came up with the idea of having drinks in the living room. I followed behind as he led us to the bar. "What will you have love?" Klaus asked me and I raised my eyebrows.
"You're going to let me drink?" The originals all seemed to find that statement amusing because they all chuckled. "You know I'm only eighteen right?"
"And when has that ever stopped you?" Klaus smirked, "Last I checked you had champaign at our ball."
I nodded smirking back, "Fair point, I'll have the oldest Irish Whiskey you have, and don't even think about watering it down with ice." He raised his eyebrows at me as he made my drink. Elijah moved beside me, my body reacting with pleasure as his arm brushed against mine. The tension that was building between us was almost unbearable. I was contemplating jumping his bones right then and there.
"You have good taste," Klaus complimented handing me my drink.
"I know," I teased moving to take my seat on the sofa. Elijah followed suit, moving to sit beside me. Kol gave us both a look before sitting across from us on the chair.
"So Klaus," Kol began, never moving his gaze from mine. I started to get nervous, that the youngest original brother would blow our secret. I took a sip of my drink, looking away from him.
"Yes?" Klaus asked, taking a seat on the other side of me. I bit my lip, stiffening as he rested his arm behind me.
"Tell us again how Elena saved you..." Kol smirked and I rolled my eyes. I had a feeling this was going to be a thing now. Kol was going to use this information against me. A new way of torture. Wonderful...Klaus told the story, all the siblings kept their gaze focused on me. When it came to the part where I tackled Finn, even Rebekah looked impressed. I just kept my focus on my drink, finishing it off. When Klaus was done I gave him a half smile.
"Would you excuse me?" Klaus nodded and I stood up, heading up the stairs. I was growing tired of being treated like a hero. I was nothing of the sort. I just reacted in the moment. Klaus however, didn't see it that way. He behaved as though I saved him because I liked him... which was a ridiculous insinuation. I moved to the bathroom, wanting to wash my face and prepare for bed. As I reached for the door handle, a familiar hand stopped me. I looked up at Elijah and he smirked. He pushed me into the bathroom and locked the door behind him. He put his finger to his lips as he turned on the shower.
"You have been a very naughty girl Elena," he growled lowly and lifted me up to sit on the counter. He pulled me into another kiss, but this one was more. More desperate, more needing. I could tell he was ready to break the tension between us and I welcomed it. I kissed back roughly, biting down on his bottom lip. A bead of blood fell onto my tongue and I sucked on the wound, feeling the blood warm me up inside. It electrified my senses, making every touch feel amplified. Elijah moaned against my lips as he lifted my dress up, caressing the inside of my thigh, forcing my legs to spread.
"Did you not like me playing footsie with you under the table?" I whispered against his kiss and he smirked. "I thought you enjoyed it, given how hard you felt..." He ripped off my panties and I gasped. He took it as an invitation to plunge his tongue into my mouth. His hand moved to my wet core and rubbed my clit roughly. His hands were making my mind go fuzzy, as I fell into an oblivion of pleasure. I moved my hands down his shirt to removed his jacket. I loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, growing impatient with every button. It was torturous how slow we were moving. I wanted him and I wanted him now. In the end, I ripped the fabric, throwing the offensive material across the bathroom. I felt my desire building in my stomach, the pleasure fulfilling me as I reached my first orgasm. I moaned into his kiss, my juices flowing down my leg.
Elijah growled lowly as his kisses moved down my neck, sucking and nibbling on the delicate skin. He unzipped my dress, pulling it over my head with ease. He caressed my naked breast, teasing the nipples. They grew hard under his touch and I moaned. His hands were seemingly everywhere, playing my body like his own instrument. He was a master musician and I was his tool that brought about beautiful music. He clasped his hand over my mouth as he moved a finger inside me. My head tilted back as I let the pleasure consume me. He moved another finger into my dripping core and smirked. "Elena," He moaned, "You're so eager..." he looked into my eyes as he brought his two fingers to his lips, sucking the juices off. Something about that made my heart pound against my chest. It was so sexual, in ways Stephan never treated me. It was the sexiest thing I had ever seen.
I moved my hands to his belt, removing it and pulling down his pants. I gawked at his cock, the size was bigger than I ever had. I briefly wondered if it would even fit. My worried expression seemed to amuse Elijah, because he chuckled, caressing my cheek, "You like what you see?" he teased. I grabbed his length in my hand, ready to show him just how much I liked it. Stroking slowly and steadily, I kept eye contact with the original. He moaned and pulled me into another passionate kiss. My hands moving at a steady pace over his throbbing erection. It soon became too much for Elijah, he was ready to take me. He removed my hand from his manhood and positioned himself at my wet entrance. He entered me slowly, my walls stretching around his throbbing cock.
It was as if he could read me, his kiss masked the moan that escaped me. It would have been a scream of pleasure had he not shoved his tongue down my throat. His thrusts were slow at first but increased in speed at a dramatic rate. If the shower wasn't on, our bodies slapping together could have echoed off of the walls. This was not how I imagined our first time to be, but this wasn't about romance. This was about desire, passion, need for one another. My stomach knotted up as his thrusts went deeper, hitting my G spot in the most wonderful way. I could feel him losing himself in me, as I did with him. We both climaxed together, reaching our peaks of pleasure simultaneously. He slumped against me, worn out almost as much as I was.
I panted and rested my head against his forehead. He smirked and picked me up bridal style, carrying me into the warm shower. I let him wash my body, cleaning off the evidence of our coupling. My body felt so tired, yet so satisfied. I closed my eyes and let the water fall over me. I didn't know what this meant for me and Elijah, or what our relationship was. All I know is that I wanted him, I wanted to be with him. However, the awful truth plagued me. Klaus would never want it, never accept it. He needed me to have children and I couldn't with Elijah. Elijah was a vampire, which means if I were to fall in love with him... I could never have kids. That would ruin Klaus' plans. God bless anyone's soul who dared to challenge the hybrid. I tried to wash away the thoughts along with my body. They were still there though, still haunting me in the back of my mind. I didn't know what would happen, and that scared me the most.
