First off I wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you to ShiloCoulter, hayleyb29, Kat7CA for reviewing chapter three!

Secondly I wanted to say that I have had a change of mind with the story and how it is going, I have planned out how I want it to end, what's going to happen ect but it is going to be shorter than I expected, around 7 chapters. I'm going to end it still in 1200's and might think about doing a sequel of now present day. I have got a lot going on with my school at the moment though so I am going to finish off this story and then it won't be a while for if I do a sequel to be posted.

Chapter 4 – Do you mind helping me out of this then?

Lockwood Mansion

"Esme, your father and I have an important town meeting to go to today, we will be gone for at least till late tonight" Esme's mother told her as she slipped her glove on.

"Will Trent be going too?" Esme asked hopefully.

"Yes" Esme's mother looked at her suspiciously. They left shortly afterwards and Esme quickly called someone to get her carriage ready.

"Where did you want me to take you miss?" the driver asked.

"The Mikaelsen house" Esme told him politely, it didn't take long to get there, she assumed that Klaus and Elijah had gone to this 'town meeting' and that it would just be Bekkah and Kol in. it had been a month since Kol and Esme had been having secret meetings together. Bekkah knew, Esme couldn't hide it from her, she had become her best friend. Bekkah was angry at first her reaction surprised Esme considering how much she constantly reminded her that her brother has feelings for her.

"Bekkah there is something I wish to tell you. I feel that we have grown close friends and I do not want to keep this from you and I feel as though I need to tell someone" Esme paused.

"Esme you can tell me anything you know that" Bekkah said supportively grabbing her hand for comfort.

"I and Kol have been having secret meetings" Esme rushed out and Bekkah laughed.

"That is what you want to tell me, I can't say I won't be jealous if he takes my role as best friend" Bekkah said teasingly.

"Maybe I was too vague Bekkah, me and Kol have been having a sort of affair but we haven't slept together only kissed" Esme elaborated.

"So you are planning on stopping it that is why you are telling me right? I mean you can't possibly think that it is a good idea Esme" Rebekah hissed and Esme's face fell.

"Why not? I really like him Bekkah, he makes me feel good about myself and I enjoy spending time with him and kissing someone who does not make me feel disgusted!"

"There are a million reasons 'why not' Esme. Have you ever thought of both of your feelings? You are eventually going to have to be married to Trent; you are going to be expected to have his children. Either way both you and my brother will end up getting hurt when it ends because you know it will never last if you are not going to stop this foolish marriage with that vile pathetic excuse of a human man. Not only are you hurting yourself but you are hurting other people!" Bekkah rambled.

"I am hurting no one! Do you think Trent truly loves me, no Bekkah. The worst that will happen if people find out is that I get looked down upon and people already do that now" Esme defended herself.

"I am only worried that you will get hurt Esme, not physically but emotionally" Bekkah said softly. "I actually think you and my brother are perfect for each other!"

"I'm falling for him Bekkah but I can't be with him properly" Esme said quietly tears falling freely down her face. "I try to be a good person, so why do I have to be with an abusive man who makes me feel disgusted with every touch and makes me flinch with every move. So I am done being the dutiful daughter, I do not care what my mother or father do or even what Trent does to me anymore. It is almost as though Kol has made everything worth it!"

"Oh Esme" Bekkah stroked her hair comfortingly.

Esme knocked on the door of the Mikaelsen house to be answered by a maid.

"Mr Kol is the only person in today everyone else is attending the town meeting ma'am" she informed her.

"Even Bekkah?" she asked confused she would go.

"Miss Rebekah, needed to get out of town for a while I think ma'am, she has gone to visit other family."

"Oh" Esme said, she was surprised that Bekkah hadn't told her.

"It was a very new thought ma'am, only last night she decided to go" the maid said to her seeing her upset and Esme smiled thankfully at the maid.

"Oh well, is it alright if I go up and see Mr Kol?"

"I don't see any problem ma'am" Esme gave her one last smile and took off up the stairs. She opened his door and saw him standing there shirtless with just a pair of black trousers on staring out the window. As soon as she opened the door he turned round and grinned at her.

"I do believe you already knew I was here Mr Kol and you are in that inappropriate clothing on purpose" Esme said teasingly, she knew his window faced the drive and he had been looking out at it.

"You caught me" Kol put his hands mock surrender and she grinned and ran into his arms. "I've missed you" Kol whispered in her ear and Esme chuckled.

"It has been two days Kol" Esme reminded him.

"Hmm" Kol said then kissed her.

"You Know we have the whole day together, everyone is out at the town meeting!" Esme said excitedly and he chuckled. "For once no one will interrupt us, so I thought we could do something" Esme told him.

"You have just said how we can finally have the whole day without people and you want to do something" Kol chuckled.

"Trust me you might want to do this something" Esme smiled cheekily at him.

"And what may these plans be?" Kol asked.

Esme closed the door and locked it then turned around to face him. She pulled her bow on the back of her dress and slowly stepped out of her big dress and underskirt so she was left in only her corset and under garments.

"Are you sure?" Kol asked her she nodded and turned around pulling her hair to the side, she turned her head slightly to face his slightly smirking. "Do you mind helping me out of this then?" she asked cheekily, he smiled and walked up to her kissing her neck.

"Gladly" Kol started pulling the strings one by one whilst kissing up her neck, finally the corset became lose and fell to the floor.

Esme me turned towards him and pushed him on to his bed straddling him. She kissed up his toned abs finally reaching his lips and kissed him passionately. Kols hands ran all over her body and she tangled her hands in his hair. Slowly each piece of clothing was shed until neither of them wore anything; Kol turned them over so she was now underneath him.

"Are you sure about this?" Kol asked her gently before they went any father, he didn't want Esme to regret anything and then hate him.

"This is my first time and I can't think of anyone else I would rather give my virginity to. I love you Kol" Esme told him blushing.

"I love you too" Kol returned his lips to her. "I'll be gentle" he whispered in her ears, she giggled.

-x-

"That was perfect" Esme said breathing heavily next to him. He took her hand and kissed it lovingly.

"I love you Esmeralda Celeste Lockwood" Kol told her looking right into her eyes.

"I love you too Kol Mikaelsen" Esme said giggling. "I could lay here like this forever" Esme whispered snuggling into his arms. He kissed the top of her head and nodded in agreement.

"That is until my brothers and sister comes home" Kol said glumly.

"I should probably return home, I don't actually know when my parents are to be expected back and I do not want them to grow suspicious" Esme told him and he groaned. "I would love to stay here too but we both know I cannot" Esme told him sadly. "I'm now wondering how I am going to get my corset back on" Esme said laughing.

"I could always do it up for you?" Kol suggested.

"I fear that you would be more fussed about getting it off then on" Esme said giggling as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.

"You have a point and I do not have the first idea about doing on up" he informed her. "I could ask the maid."

"What would she think of me?" Esme said sighing.

"She is paid not to think" Kol shrugged and Esme sighed.

"I suppose it is the only way" Esme got up and up her undergarments on as Kol got dressed as well.

"I'll send her in" he told her kissing her cheek and a few minutes later she came in and started helping Esme. Esme studied her curiously wondering what she would be thinking of the girl.

"You must think so lowly of me right now" Esme whispered when she was done and gathering Esme's underskirt for her.

"I don't ma'am" the maid assured her.

"I'm not just sleeping around" Esme informed her anyway, she may just be a maid but Esme still felt the need to explain things to her. "I love Kol" she said softly. "But I am stuck in an abusive engagement."

"Miss you don't need to explain things, I can tell you both care deeply for each other. Your secret is safe with me" she had finally finished putting Esme's dress on and Esme smiled at her as she left the room. Esme left shortly after her finding Kol waiting for her at the stairs.

"I'll see you soon Esme" Kol kissed her hand.

"Whenever it will be it won't be soon enough" Esme mumbled, she kissed his cheek and left feeling sad without his presence. She sat in the carriage and noticed she had left one of her gloves.

"Wait a moment please, I seemed to have left something" Esme told him.

She walked into the house not bothering to knock as she was only there just a few moments ago.

"Kol" Esme called looking around for him, she walked into the main room.

That's when she saw him.

He held the maid so her head was tilted and seemed to be biting her neck. His face was morphed into the face of a monster. Veins were surrounding his eyes, the maid seemed to be getting weaker and limper in his arms. Esme gasped and walked back until her back smacked against the wall.

That was when Kol first noticed her; he dropped the maid and looked up to her. Esme gasped once again now seeing his face properly, blood dripping from his fangs. His face went back to normal.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
