Like Mother, Like Daughter

Chapter 1: The Start

Summary: Hope Mikaelson is nothing if not her mother's daughter. Falling for a "bad boy" that's just a couple... hundred... years older than her.

The second the calming spell left her lips; Hope knew something had shifted between her and Ryan. Actually, scratch that. Hope knew something had sifted between her and Ryan when he told her about his frat of his father. That's why she cast the calming spell in the first place. And the way Ryan looked at her when he thanked her, it had Hope feeling butterflies in her stomach. And before she knew what she was doing, Hope closed the already small distance between them and was pressing her lips to Ryan's.

And Ryan didn't disappoint. A split second after Hope's lips melded with his, Ryan was wrapping his arms around her body and laying them down on the ground. His lips moved from hers over to her jaw and then down to her neck as one of his hands molded around her breast. Soft moans were falling from Hope's lips as her hips started bucking up into Ryan's. But then Ryan move to undo Hope's jeans and she snapped back to the reality of their situation.

"Ryan... stop." Her voice was quiet, but in the emptiness that surrounded them, it was if she had yelled it.

"Did I do something wrong?" Ryan asked as he pulled back to look into Hope's eyes.

"It's not you. It's where we are, and what he is capable of doing to women that end up here." Hope replied as she angrily blinked back hot tears and turned her head away from Ryan.

"Seylah was here alone after Triad turned on her, and he took pity on her. You are the one being that can destroy him. His drive to have a bloodline of his own is trumped by his self-preservation. So I see no reason for him to try and continue his bloodline by mixing it with the bloodline of the one person who can kill him." Ryan said as he moved off of Hope and pulled her into his lap. "Look at me, Hope. I will not let him hurt you. He will have to go through me before he ever gets to you. And I've waited years to be with you, I can wait until we find a way to get out of here to have sex with you."

"What do you mean you've waited years? The first time we met was in Kansas." Hope asked.

"When Seylah was released from here, I was released shortly after to act as a protector for the offspring. I shadowed him his entire life. And when he was in Mystic Falls a couple of years ago, I saw him interacting with you, and I was drawn to you. And I found myself shadowing you instead of him."

"You've been following me for two years?"

"Yes. And I know how creepy it sounds but I swear I never did anything other than keep an eye on you. I figured if Landon was drawn to you, then you had to be someone of importance."

Hope thought about Ryan's words in silence. She didn't move off of his lap, and he kept his arms wrapped loosely around her. If she was being honest with herself, then she had to admit that she had found him attractive the first time they met in Kansas but having been so focused on finding and saving Landon, she had pushed her thoughts and feelings for Ryan to the back of her mind. Then there was everything that happened in Maple Hollows, and Hope remembered how sexy she thought he looked wearing a leather jacket.

"Ryan... I don't know how we're both going to get out of here." Hope whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"Almost every time I've used magic, the vortex opens shortly after, pulling me towards it, but when you hold on to me, it closes. I don't think he wants you to leave."

"What about that invisibility spell? Could you place it on me and see if it allows you to take me with you?"

"We can try, but I fear it's a long shot."

"I'm willing to try anything, Hope. As long as we try together."

Hope moved to straddle Ryan's lap and took his face in her hands. Leaning in, Hope pulled Ryan in for a deep kiss. It didn't take long for them to end up right back where they had been, but this time, Hope didn't stop him as Ryan pulled her jeans and panties down. Hope watched with lust filled eyes as Ryan ran his hands up her thighs before dipping a hand between her legs and plunging two long fingers into her pussy.

"Oh god!" Hope moaned out.

"You like that?" Ryan asked as Hope nodded wordlessly. "If you like my fingers inside you, just wait until I have my dick inside you."

"Please Ryan, I need more."

"Gladly."

With his hand still between Hope's folds, Ryan used his free hand to remove his slacks and boxers before moving on top of Hope. The look on her face was pure ecstasy and Ryan was thrilled that he was giving that to her. Lining his dick up with her entrance, Ryan leaned down and captured Hope's lips with his as he pushed forward. The surprised gasp that fell from her lips was quickly replaced by moans, all of which were swallowed by Ryan.

"Don't stop Ryan! Feels so good!" Hope moaned when air became a necessity and the kiss broke.

"I don't plan on stopping, Sweetheart." Ryan replied in between kisses along Hope's neck and collarbone.

"Oh god! I'm close! Ryan! So close!"

"That's it, Hope. Cum for me."

Hope came second later with Ryan's name falling from her lips as a moaned prayer. Ryan came almost immediately after Hope, and then guilt washed over him. He continued moving inside of Hope to prolong her orgasm, but the moment she was done, he pulled out and looked away from her. Hope sat up slowly, watching as Ryan straightened his clothes and ignored her. After righting her own clothing, Hope placed a hand on Ryan's arm and lightly tugged until he was facing her.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, Hope. I let myself forget..."

"You let yourself forget what?"

"That I'm sterile. Having you return my feelings and having you allow me to do what we just did... it helped me forget that I won't be able to give you a family if we both make it out of here."

"That's okay, Ryan."

"It shouldn't be okay, Hope. The second I reached my release, I felt empty. That I don't deserve to be happy with you. That I don't deserve to even think that you could be happy with me."

"Listen to me, Ryan. I don't care if you're sterile. I like you for who you are. You've been told your entire life that you're a failure but that's not true. When the time comes, and we're ready to start a family, we can look into other ways of having kids."

As the two shared another kiss, a laugh bubbled up from Hope's chest, causing her to pull away from Ryan.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because I just realized... I'm exactly like my mom... falling for a guy that's a couple hundred years older than me."
