Elijah gave the younger vampire a frosty look from across the ballroom. He often made a habit of flirting with his wife to the point where she was visibly uncomfortable.
He had always chosen to seethe in silence because she had asked him not to make a scene , but when a hand was placed on her shoulder he couldn't stop his growl.
He gained a few questioning looks when he appeared from nowhere and wrapped a possessive arm around her waist.
The threat was clear in his voice.
"I would recommend you remove your hand from my wife before I make the decision for you."
Elena just held in her disappointed sigh when Damon listened. After the challenge from Kol to drink him under the table she was more than a little tipsy and kind of wanted to see her husband vamp out and kick Damon's ass into the next century.
