Warning, this turned out darker than I first intended, sorry if it's too dark.

Chapter 17

Mine

Kol was bored. He was having sex with some blond girl in her tiny apartment. She was screaming and moaning under him. He didn't even know or care what her name was. He had just picked her up from a bar. For some reason he hadn't want to take her to his hotel suite. He didn't think that Selene would be the type that would get exited watching him having sex with someone else. He really had failed with her this morning. Kol couldn't help but smile. He had to admit that she got spirit. That comment about her spreading her legs for him had completely surprised him. And turned him on. But then again he didn't want the game to be over too soon. He was definitely enjoying it.

"Oh Karl!" the woman moaned.

Kol rolled his eyes. Well, since he didn't remember her name it was probably only fair that she didn't remember his either.

"God, that was amazing", she said when he lied down next to her.

"Well, I'm glad you liked it sweetheart."

She touched his hand and smiled.

"We should definitely do this again."

Kol stood up and started to look for his clothes.

"I'm flattered, but I don't think so."

"Why not? Are you seeing someone?"

"Something like that."

"Well I don't mind", she purred. "Clearly she doesn't know how to satisfy you."

Kol looked at her annoyed.

"Watch your tongue sweetheart."

"Oh, I can put my tongue anywhere you like. Don't go home to some boring girlfriend, stay here. It would be worth it, I promise you."

Kol smiled.

"So you think you can give me what I need?"

She bit her finger seductively.

"You can count on that."

"Alright then."

She looked surprised when she saw his face changing. Kol had sunk his fangs into her neck before she could make a sound. Well, she could offer him at least something he needed. But still he was bored. After getting rid of her body he headed back to the hotel. Maybe Selene wasn't sulking any more. Well, it didn't matter; he wanted her company right now. It was strange but he actually did. Kol knocked the bedroom door.

"Selene?"

There was no answer so he opened the door. She wasn't there. Kol checked the bathroom, living room and even his own bedroom. She wasn't in the suite. Had she dared to leave? Kol felt his anger rising. He had told her to stay here. If she had been hungry, she could have called the room service. There was no need for her to leave. Kol went downstairs to the reception.

"Hello", he said smiling charmingly. "I am looking for my wife and I was wondering have you seen her leaving? Blond hair, blue eyes, a sweatshirt with pictures of butterflies."

"Yes Mr. Smith, I remember your wife", the receptionist said. "She dropped by half an hour ago. She asked if there is a coffee shop nearby that would still be open."

"And what did you tell her?" Kol asked smiling.

"There is one right around the corner, they also sell books."

"I see. Which way is it?"

Kol was furious when he went looking for Selene. Did she think that she could just disobey him? Obviously he had been too kind to her. She needed to be taught a lesson. He stepped in to the coffee shop and looked around. She spotted Selene in front of a bookshelf. She was holding a book and talking to someone. A man. They were both laughing. It took a moment before Kol could move. He was way past furious. He marched straight to Selene and grabbed her hand.

"Hey! What are you…"

"We are leaving now darling", he said smiling and started to drag her out.

"Stop it, what's wrong with you?"

He could barely hear her words. He dragged her roughly back to the hotel.

"Please, you're hurting me."

"You should have thought about that a little earlier sweetheart", he said smiling when they stepped in to an elevator.

"I…I just wanted to take a walk, have a few words with someone…" Selene stuttered.

"With some other man. I thought I already warned you about that."

Selene's eyes widened.

"No, no, please don't hurt him, he was just recommending me a book. I swear I didn't…"

Kol opened the door to their suite and dragged her in. He pushed her roughly against the wall.

"You are mine and you will do what I say when I say it, got it?"

"Yes, yes, I got it", she said with a shaky voice.

Kol looked at her coldly.

"I don't think that's quite true. Perhaps a lesson would be in order."

He pushed her to the bedroom and grabber her chin.

"Now, I want you to undress."

She took a step back and took her shirt off. She looked shocked but couldn't stop her hands. She was trying to fight it but she didn't have a chance against his compulsion. Her eyes started to fill with tears.

"Please don't do this…"

"No tears", Kol said emotionlessly. "Smile darling."

She had no choice but to obey.

"Take all your clothes off."

There was desperation in her eyes but she had to obey. Soon she was standing naked in front of him.

"Now lie down."

"Please…" She was smiling like he had told her to do but he could saw how terrified she was.

"Lie down."

She lied down on the bed.

"Now say that you want me to take you."

She tried to fight but the words just came out.

"I want you to take me."

Kol moved on top of her and looked into her eyes. He could saw terror, helplessness, desperation… And yet she was still smiling. He leaned closer and touched her ear with his lips.

"You see now how easy it would be?" he whispered. "You do not disobey me ever again. Is that clear?"

She nodded.

He released her from the compulsion and got off her. She got under the covers and started to sob. Kol walked out and closed the door behind him. She had learned her lesson.
