Mia POV
Upon awakening the first thing I was aware of was the masculine scent around me contrasting my usual fruity scented bed sheets. Grinning ear to ear I remembered what happened between myself and Kol last night. Now we were truly mates - if the bite marks on my neck and chest were anything to go by.
Sensing his eyes on me I twisted around into Kols encircling arms and snuggled into his bare toned chest. Humming in happiness I giggled.
I had slept with the man who I loved, mated with him and we had only been together a week! But the intensity between us was almost sparking with every movement, our bodys almost magnetically pulled us to one another.
"Morning darling." My ever smirking mate said as I greeted him warmly before he kissed my nose and rolled onto his back pulling my body on top of his.
"Are you ok?" He asked slightly concerned.
"I'm wonderful! Admittedly a little sore but a good kind of sore that I am happy to have!" I said, sighing as I gazed into his happy gaze.
"Good to hear, I want to take a shower...I can reach your hard to reach areas..." He hummed, stroking his fingers up and down my bare back gently.
"That sounds heavenly, I just don't want to move! This is so comfortable.." I moaned as my arms folded on his chest so I could lean my head on my hands to look into his face easier.
Smirking he sat up suddenly making me jump though before I knew it he had picked me up and sped us to his bathroom, had the hot water running and was just stepping us under the hot spray.
It was so nice... without saying anything he lathered my hair up in strawberry and cream shampoo, gently massaging my scalp as he did so. Sighing at the shivers that tingle down my spine I leaned into his chest before he began softly rinsing my hair making sure all the bubbles were gone before combing through the matching conditioner with his fingers. Murmuring he was going to leave the conditioner in for a few minutes he soon grabbed a tropical fruit body wash and took great delight in washing my body.
Giggling as he kept placing little kisses on my skin before he washed them away he soon pulled me back under the spray fully turning so he could clean the bubbles off and rinse the conditioner from my hair.
Once I was fully clean he roughly cleaned his hair with a two in one bottle of apple and hazelnut scented shampoo/conditioner. I soon took his hand though as he began to wash himself, smirking he moved my hand gently over his chest leaving bubbles in its wake.
Finally after getting a little carried away with washing one another (which meant we had to wash ourselves again) we each left the bathroom - me with a smile gracing my features and the ever present smug grin coating his. Kissing him I mumbled a quick be right back before sneaking from his room and into mine being sure nobody was in the hall to witness my towel clad form.
Cotton ran up from under my bed and danced around my feet mewing as she went, making me feel a little guilty over leaving her all night. Checking her food and water I made sure she was fussed fully before making my way to the wardrobe.
Pulling on some purple lace panties and matching bra I laughed a little to myself with a new sort of confidence. I slipped some black patchwork effect tights on and pondered over which skirt to wear...grinning I grabbed a dress instead. I only had a few dresses as I didn't usually feel confident enough to wear them.
The dress I grabbed was a light purple, with a top bodice before flaring out from the waist down to just above my knees. The bodice had little corset decorative ribbons up the sides and small straps with some crystal beads threaded over them. Spinning in the mirror I decided I looked nice, grabbing a pair of plain black trainers I slipped them on before skipping back to my room and sorting my hair out.
I simply brushed it and scooped half of the top into a small ponytail via a clip over the rest of my hair.
Deciding I looked decent I opened my bedroom door and headed to Kols room, Cotton running downstairs eager to see Rebekah most likely. Opening Kols door I grinned as he shrugged on his shirt playfully wagging his eyebrows as his 6 pack disappeared.
Pouting slightly I hopped to him and hugged him feeling giddy still from our great morning.
"Hungry?" Kol asked as he kissed my neck gently before grinning at my shy nod.
"Come on then darling, should have expected that - after all I did wear you out last night" He said with a smirk over his features. Slapping him on the stomach and muttering 'jerk' he laughed and led me out the room and together we headed to the kitchen.
Rebekah was standing in the kitchen with a glass of blood in her hands sipping at it every now and then while Cotton was sitting next to her on the side getting constantly fussed by her.
"Morning" Kol said as he lifted me onto the counter next to my kitty before grabbing the ingredients to make pancakes.
"How was your night then?" Rebekah asked with a knowing smirk on her face, making me lightly blush.
"It was wonderful... How was yours?" I asked as Cotton slinked between us and got fusses from us both now.
"I was pretty uneventful, nearly hooked up with Damon Salvatore!" She said as her face distorted in disgust and horror.
"Eww. At least you came to your senses before it went to far." I said a little grossed out, though Damon was undeniably gorgeous he was always so arrogant and condescending it made him a horrible romance candidate.
"Well it was actually Elijah that told Damon to leave, apparently Damon got angry with Elena last night and turned on one of our waiting staff to disgust the dopplebitch causing her to storm off. Elijah found the girl in transition and took her to one of the guest rooms offering to take her under his wing once she awakened." Rebekah said, now checking over her nails.
"He turned one of the staff? Who did he turn to? do you know?" I asked instantly thinking of the girl I know Elijah had been watching intently last night.
"I don't know her name, dark hair, thin, pretty, tall, um... I don't think I saw anything else why?" She said thinking back to last night as she described the girl.
"There was a waitress here who served myself and Kol at a restaurant on our first date - a restaurant that I now know Elijah recommended and last night she brought our champagnes over when I was with him and Elijah wouldn't stop staring at her, she blushed and smiled before leaving." I said slightly excited over the prospect of Elijah and the waitress - Abby I think.
"Oh, well as long as he doesn't fall again for a doppleganger I approve!" She snarked her obvious disgust at the Petrova bloodline.
"Here we go darling, I will be right back." Kol announced handing me a plate of large fluffy pancakes smothered in syrup and chocolate chips making me smile at his thoughtfulness.
"Thank you!" I said loudly as he sped away, no doubt grabbing a blood bag from the separate fridge in the large pantry next to the laundry room.
Digging into my heart breakfast I almost choked when Caroline came in. Only in one of Klaus's shirts.
"Oh my god!" I squealed happily.
"Shhh! He's still sleeping!" She said blushing slightly before sighing and hopping gracefully onto the side next to me.
"SO! How was it? Are you two together now or what?" I said slightly giddy and not even noticing when Cotton clawed one of my pancakes on the side for her to munch on.
"It was...it was incredible. He was so sweet and attentive it was just unbelievable... I don't know if we're together I mean... there is this pull between us this ... spark and it is so right when I'm near him." She murmured dreamily as I began eating my pancakes absentmindedly.
"I don't get why my brother has such an obsession over you but you are one of the best choices here for him." Rebekah said while finishing off her blood and hopping off the side to place the red tinted glass in the sink.
"I have to go get some things for tonight, see you later. And Caroline? I think you and my brother would be good for one another, he hasn't really opened up to anyone in ages, not even us before we were daggered and he has exposed himself more to you then you know so please don't take advantage of that because if you hurt him, I will kill you." Rebekah announced with flair before strolling fashionably from the room.
Not sure what to say Caroline grabbed a knife and fork before joining me in eating this huge platter of pancakes.
"I have to say despite her speech being intimidating she was right. Since Klaus met you he has changed and in a good way." I said softly, unable to eat any more and surrendering some bits of pancake to the hovering kitty watching the plate intently.
"I do like him. A lot, and again I can picture a future with him, but he did try to hurt my friends and I don't know how to get past that to be honest." She mumbled.
"Darling if I might interject on your girl talk." Kol announced making both me and Caroline jump at his sudden appearance. "My brother though a big headed jerk has been practically abandoned by our parents and us since when we were first turned, he was a bastard and in our family's name a disgrace. It was Rebekah and Elijah who made sure to try and keep him in the family. To feel included and I must take blame, because me, Finn and our parents ostracized him. He got caught up on making his own family, in other words hybrids because he was literally one of a kind neither vampire or werewolf and in turn not accepted by either species or most of his family. He became obsessed with breaking his curse when our father deemed us well... only the ones that stood by Klaus as monsters so he then thought the breaking of his curse would be the best form of protection for himself, Bekah and Elijah. You are one of the few that haven't treated him like an outcast and are honest with him and that's why he has taken such a strong bond or fancy to you." Kol said, sipping his blood bag through his speech.
I sadly sighed as Kol wrapped a arm around my waist understanding this completely and feeling sorry for Caroline as she looked a little teary at hearing the loneliness of Klaus's past. But I could see her understanding why he was so obsessed with breaking the curse, so hooked on wanting her to give him a simple chance.
"I took a chance to be with him. I care for him despite not trying and I understand how hard he must have felt and though I can't fully forgive him, I can't hate nor condemn him anymore either." Caroline announced looking happy at her choice and went to tell Klaus she was no longer holding back from a potential relationship between the two.
"Good morning." Elijah announced walking in the door slipping his ironed suit jacket over his neatly pressed shirt.
"Morning, how is the girl Damon killed last night?" I asked eager as ever to see if it was the girl he fancied.
"She is fine, a little confused but handling it surprisingly well. I was in fact going to gather a daylight selection of jewelry for her to choose from and a few blood bags for her. Do you have any clothes she could borrow actually?" He asked while heating a couple of bags in the microwave.
"Yeah I have loads, do you want me to drop them by your room?" I asked, hopping from the counter snickering slightly at Kohl's whine.
"No I shall escort you, she is having a little trouble talking to me so I think you might be able to talk and explain things a little more to her since Rebekah has left." He said as the microwave dinged.
Collecting the bags he looked at me and led me to my room where I grabbed a few basic items like a new pack of underwear, socks and bras before gathering a black skirt and shirt, jeans, a dress basically a little of everything not sure what she would like besides. No doubt Rebekah and Caroline would protest taking her shopping in a few days when this thing with Esther is over.
I met Elijah and we made small talk as we headed to the guest room where she was occupying at the moment.
Please review, I would love to know what you think.
