-Seven-

The day of the Founders Ball, Rebekah picks me up. Damon glares at me as I walk down the stairs with my dress in a cover, carrying my heels and a bag of my makeup and accessories.

"Ready?"She asks happily, smiling. I nod and walk out to her car, only hearing faint arguments coming from her and Damon at the door. By the look on his face he was angry, but he wasn't going to tell me no. Not with Zack letting me go. He knew I wouldn't stay.

Once at the mansion, Rebekah lead me to her room. We had plenty of time to get ready so we hung up out dresses, laid everything we needed out on her vanity table and danced along to music she played from my phone in her IHome.

"Is Nik okay?"I ask once she turns down the music and pulls our dresses out. She turns and looks at me, her eyes masked with sadness.

"He told me what happened. I think he's just afraid of hurting you."She starts, taking the dresses out of their hanging bags. "He's not used to being in love or having feelings for a single person let alone a human, so he's distancing himself to save you from the beast he thinks he is."She finishes, smiling at my red lace gown. I nod, understanding more than she probably knew, and get ready with her.

After a while, she was dressed in her dark green, off one should gown with her hair pulled back. She was beautiful but she always was. I got dressed in my red lace dress, slipping on my black and silver heels, doing light silvery makeup and curling my hair into waves pulled onto one side.

"You look amazing."She smiles, hugging me. She takes my hand and leads me down the stairs once the music starts to flood into her room.

"Where's your date, mate?"Nik teases Matt near the bar. Rebekah smiles and nods for me to take Nik's hand to get his attention. I slip my fingers in with his and smile wider as he tenses up.

"Sweetheart, I'm afraid..."Nik starts, turning toward us. Matt clears his throat nervously, looking Rebekah over, and offers her his arm. I curtsy, letting the slit in the dress expose my leg.

"Hello stranger."I taunt, watching his eyes fill with the same lust and hunger as before.

"You look ravishing, my dear."He says softly, kissing my hand as Damon, Stefan, Elena and Caroline walk over. Elena was wearing a black and gold strapless gown and Caroline was wearing a navy blue gown with a light blue shaw.

"Wow."Caroline smiles, looking me over. Damon grits his teeth, eyes glaring a warning at Nik.

"Come now, the girl wanted to look good for the ball and she does. Get over yourself Damon."Rebekah chuckles, before walking off to dance with Matt. Nik's face held determination and spite along side his signature grin, though his eyes held a wild sense of lust. Was he determined to stay with me in spite of Damon's warning? Or was he determined to push me away? By his previous actions, I'd say he was trying to push me away, though the look in his eyes showed his defeat and the need he felt.

"I don't want to hurt you."Nik says softly as he pulls me close.

"Then don't."I say simply as the music changes and the choreographed dance begins. He takes my hand and leads me through the dance elegantly.

"My dear, you don't understand. It's very difficult for me to be gentle with something so fragile when I'm used to carelessly ripping things apart."He explains, warm breath drawing goosebumps over my arms. He smirks devilishly and blows cool air over my chest and collarbone. I suck in a sharp breath and bite my lip, looking at him as we repeat the same motions. Once it's over, his fingers dig into my waist as he pulls me close, his eyes dangerously seductive. That is until Rebekah pulls him away.

"I'll return him in a moment, dear. Our older brother would like to talk to us."She says sweetly, walking toward a man, standing alone toward the back of the crowd. I turn to walk toward Caroline and Elena near the stairs when a man grabs my hand.

"May I have this dance?"He asks as he steps into view, kissing my hand.

"Kol."I say softly, just above a whisper. His polite smile made me cringe as Damon's head snaps toward me. I plead with him to save me with my eyes, but ultimately dance with Kol anyway. I can't be rude, but if anything happened Damon knew who I was with.

"You dance beautifully, my dear."Kol says softly, pulling me close as he dances us farther and farther from Damon's view. Nik dances with Kol's date near us to keep an eye on me, eyes shifting over me as if blades ready to cut us apart at any minute. My heart pounds furiously in my chest, begging for release from my chest, until Nik finally cuts in when the song slows. Breathing a sigh of relief, I mold myself to his body.

"Please don't leave me."I say almost inaudibly, afraid Kol would hear me. Nik grits his teeth and nods, kissing my temple and lying my head on his shoulder. All too soon, the song ends and Rebekah is tugging the both of us toward Nik's office.

"Adelina, I want you to meet my siblings."She says softly, shutting the door behind me. Three men stood in the room, though one I recognized as Kol, squeezing Nik's hand at my side.

"You don't need to worry about Kol, dear. He's harmless."A man says walking toward us with a glass of bourbon in his hand, motioning to Kol leaning against the back of the back of the couch.

"Adi, this is Elijiah."Rebekah says sweetly. I nod as he takes my hand and kisses it. I glance up at Kol and roll my eyes at the cocky smirk playing on his lips.

"Do forgive my rudeness, but I beg to differ."I say softly. Elijiah chuckles and nods, sipping his drink as he straightens.

"As long as you have this idiot by your side, I can assure your safety."He says, smiling and motioning toward Nik. Rebekah and I laugh softly as the other man steps up to me.

"I'm Finn. It's quite a pleasure to meet the girl who's graced Niklaus' dreams for so long."He says sweetly, kissing my hand as well. Nik growls lowly, glaring up at his older brother.

For hours, we stood in the office talking and joking around as the party continued outside, but soon enough it ends and everyone goes home. Rebekah had offered me to stay the night, giving me more time with Nik than I had had over the past few weeks. Soon after the ballroom clears, so does the office area. The Mikaelsons leave the room just as Nik decides to show me his personal library.

-Nik's pov-

"This is very impressive, Nik."She whispers in awe as we enter my library. I knew she could see the torment in my eyes, but I managed to hold it all back. I sit down in one of the love seats in front if the fire place and grip her waist, pulling her into my lap before she can walk around more. Her red lace dress and enticing scent was choking off my gentle intentions for her.

"You haven't seen anything yet."I whisper lowly in her ear with a devious smirk. She smiles and cups my jaw, kissing my lips with a teasing intent,wrapping her arms around my neck. I kiss her back, fingers tangling in her hair, shifting to bite down on her neck gently and listen to her moan. I wrap an arm around her waist and turn, lying her down on bear skin rug. She smirks that devilish grin and bite my lip, gripping her hips and pinning her down. She smiles deviously,bending her right leg to rub against my waist, reaching up and tangling her fingers in my hair. Her warm breath encased me in an unbreakable barrier of lust, desire and a growing need. I grind my hips slowly against her womanhood. She grips my shirt and pulls me closer, moaning faintly, and tears it open to expose my chest. She claws at my back and kisses across my collar bones as I shimmy out of my jacket.

"You drive me insane."I whisper in between kisses I place over her chest and neck. She moans softly, arching her back up into my chest slightly. I slide my hand up her leg and under the slit in her dress, running my fingertips over her hip.

"I love you, Nik."She whispers, wrapping her legs around me and taking off my belts. I pick her chin up to face me and kiss her, letting my tongue trail over her bottom lip. She moans softly, nipping at my bottom lip. I shift, as she grinds into me. I groan, tangling my fingers in her hair and slowly start to move with her. Never have I ever hated clothes so much. I wanted to burn all of hers just so she had an excuse to be around me naked or at least in one of my shirts again.

I growl and buck my hips up against hers, harder and harder. She smiles, shifting and kissing up my abs and chest as she straddles me. I smile and run my hands over her curves as she slides down my body,pulling off my jeans. She tugs down my jeans and boxers slowly, kissing across my hips and lower waist. She pulls them off too and licks a trail from the tip of my other member to my chest, biting down hard.

I groan and turn to lean over her, gripping her dress and ripping it off of her. I cup her perfect breasts in my hands and growl, pulling her bra off. She bites her lip gently, silencing a moan. I kiss down her chest and abs, pulling up her left leg. I bite into her thigh and smile at her moans as she arches her back and grips the rug. I bite down harder, sucking up the skin under my lips, to leave a slight bruise, as her hand slowly slides down her flat stomach and under the trim of her lace underwear.

I dig my nails into her outer thigh. I grip the dampening lace of her underwear and rip them off as she pleasures herself. It only made me hungrier for her body. I kiss up to just under her rib cage and bite down, fangs piercing her skin as she gasps a breathlessly sexy sound. I slide my hands up to her breasts and massage them, rubbing my rough thumbs over her nipples. She moans,arching her back up closer to me, gripping my hair and plunging deeper into herself. I straddle her just below her hand grind on her, letting my growing excitement show through my other member.

She slides her hand away from herself to me, gripping my shaft. I moan and move closer to her, thrusting my shaft deeper into her hand. She whimpers softly as I let my hands slowly drift down to her aching entrance. I lick the fresh bruise left on her side, sliding down her body, and gently licking up her clit. She moans and grips the rug again, begging me for more. I smile slightly,leaning over her and lapping up her sweet excitement. She grips her breasts to keep from screaming as I pull her legs farther apart and pull away from her.

She whimpers again, sadness and lust echoing deep in her beautiful eyes. I smirk, leaning over her, kissing her hard and thrusting deep into her. She moans my name loudly, grinding on me as she kisses me. I couldn't get enough of her delicious body and her electrifying kisses. I grind with her, thrusting into her harder and deeper. Hearing her moan and beg for more drove me crazy knowing she'd never beg for anything from anyone else. Though each time she arched her back and that familiar iron scent filled my lungs from the bite mark just under her ribs, I knew this couldn't happen again. We couldn't happen again. If I was going to save her from a horrible death or a monster, she'd have to leave tomorrow without her memory of me.
