Lydia's P.O.V.
I sat back as Elijah, my mate, worked diligently on something across the kitchen. I was sitting on a dark wood stool at the kitchen island. His back was facing me- even with a button on shirt I could still see that he was well built from the strong back that was facing me. I flushed at the thought of what he'd look like beneath the shirt. ' Bad Lydia! Do not think like that! Besides, why would he want someone as inexperienced and unattractive as you anyways?!'
I was broken out of my thoughts as he cleared his throat. I looked up and he smiled at me as he placed a steaming plate of chicken fettuccine in front of me. I felt my louth water from the amazing aroma wafting up to me. "T-thank you, Elijah." He smiled and reached across the island easily and brushed his fingertips across my smooth cheek. " It is no trouble to me at all, my dear. You are my priority."
We were interrupted from a knock on the door to his penthouse. I looked at him with wide eyes as he went and opened it. I glanced over as I heard a smooth voice and Elijah's pleasant greeting. As he returned there was a handsome blonde man with twinkling blue green eyes who was staring at me in shock. I frowned and tilted my head in confusion.
Elijah looked between us, " Is she your-?" The blonde male cut him off, " yes." He spoke breathlessly, almost like he came back from running a marathon. " How is this possible? She is mine as well." The two males looked to each other then at me, I was feeling the great mass of confusion that was welling in me. " What are you talking about Elijah?" The blonde looked to me with admiration. I studied him closely as I was curious on who this man was. He had to have been at least in his early to mid 20's. His face was chiseled with stubble on his strong jaw. He had dimples and his eyes were a dark blue green.
I gasped as he was standing in front of me- reaching an hand to me. He cupped my cheek in his large palm and I gasped quietly as I felt the familiar shocks that came with Elijah's touch. " You are so much more perfect then I thought you would be, love." I flushed at the complement that rolled off his tongue. His voice was smooth and held the accent of someone from England. And wasn't that attractive?
I flushed under the intense gaze of his as he studied my features. " What is your name, sir?" His lips quirked at the formality. " My name is Niklaus, love. And yours?"
" Lydia. My name is Lydia. Can I call you Nik? Klaus makes me think of Christmas." He and Elijah laughed at that as Nik nodded, " You can call me whatever you wish to my love." I nodded with a smile and leaned into his warm hand as I started to feel cold. Nik leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. His lips felt so soft as they brushed against my skin.
Klaus' P.O.V.
I found where Elijah was staying easily with all of my connections. I needed to know why he was in a pitiful town such as Mystic Falls. Perhaps he found Katerina. I knocked on the door to his penthouse and frowned at the location. I could do so much better if he would just stay with me as I hunted the wench that dared to defy me for so long. He opened it and when he did I caught the most amazing, aromatic scent I have smelled in my 1,023 years of life. I inhaled deeply, allowing myself to be intoxicated by the heavenly scent of honey and vanilla.
The scent was all over my brother and I frowned for a moment before figuring that I need to see who has this delicious aroma. He let me in after we greeted each other and what I saw before me was a flowering goddess. Her eyes were a rich chocolate color and her hair fell down her back in black brown waves- almost like a waterfall. I felt the need to mark her. She stared up at me from her seat as I vamp sped to be before the beauty. Elijah seemed to be just as shocked as she.
" You are so much more perfect then I thought you would be, love." I watched as her cheeks flushed beautifully. I knew she was my mate. I had waited for so long for her. I was beginning to believe that I did not have one. I mean, I know that I am a monster, but I will do everything in my power to better myself to protect my sweet flower, my mate. And what a beauty she is. " Is she your-?" I cut my older brother off, " Yes big brother. She is."
" How odd. She is mine as well." I felt the shock well in me as I realized that my brother and I shared a mate. " What is your name sir?" I smirked at my well mannered mate. God even her voice sounded like liquid honey. " My name is Niklaus. And yours, love?"
" My name is Lydia. May I call you Nik? Klaus makes me think of Christmas." The pout on her rosebud lips as she said that made Elijah and I laugh. I haven't felt like this since I was a human. This peace and joy seemed so foreign to me at this point but I welcomed it as it came with my mate. I will slaughter whomever I need to to protect my little angel.
