Chapter 17
Elena awoke the next morning feel happily sedated. Her neck was a little sore but when she thought of why she blushed. She had assumed by asking Elijah if he wanted to drink from her he would have refused. Elena wouldn't have been upset but she was glad he did. She felt like she had connected with him more than she had anyone. She smiled to herself as she looked beside her. Elijah lay bare chested with the sheets pooled just above his muscle cut waist. He was deeply asleep. Elena carefully pulled away from him and climbed from the bed. She needed to shower and needed to handle some bathroom business of her own. She carefully stood and made her way to Elijah's shirt. She slipped it on and tiptoed out of his bedroom to her own. Once inside her room Elena went for the bathroom. She couldn't quit smiling as she started the shower and moved to the sink to look at her reflection. She glanced at her neck and saw the bite marks. She gasped at the look of it. It didn't feel nearly as bad as it looked in the mirror. Elena wondered if she was going to be able to hide it or not.
"I can heal it" she heard from behind her. Elena jumped at the voice behind her.
"Elijah you scared the crap out of me" she said winded.
"I am sorry for that" he chuckled but then took a step to her and tilted her head to the side.
Elijah looked at the mark on Elena's neck. He hadn't meant to do so much damage. He assumed at the time of the act that it was something small, but then he had been a little pre-occupied with his other actions at the time as well.
"Elena I am sorry for this" he said as he met her curious stare.
"Elijah, I am fine really. It's a little sore but I'm okay. I wanted it too ya know" Elena said touching his hand that remained at her throat.
"Here" he said as he bit into his wrist and handed it to her.
Elena had tasted Vampire blood before courteous of Damon. She took a small step closer to Elijah and placed her lips over the small mark. Elijah pulled her closer as she began to suck softly on the wound. Her lips on his skin drove him mad. He wanted to pin her against the wall and bury himself deep within her until she screamed his name. Elijah was snapped out of his thought when he felt Elena pull away. Elijah wiped his blood from her lips and removed her shirt. He let it fall to the floor and discarded his clothes as well. He pulled Elena into the shower that had now steamed up the bathroom like a fog rolling in off the bay. It covered the area around them as they climbed in. Elijah pulled them into the hot spray of the shower before he wrapped Elena into his arms and claimed her lips. Elena smiled against his mouth and wrapped her arms around Elijah's neck as he deepened the kiss. Elena could feel his arousal against her belly and moaned as Elijah took the lead and pressed her against the shower wall. After a while the water grew cold and Elena and Elijah emerged from the shower. Elijah wrapped Elena in a huge fluffy towel before securing one around his waist. Elena fastened it around her tightly and followed Elijah from the steamed bathroom.
"So when do we leave?" Elena asked him as she opened the dresser drawer looking for some underwear.
Elijah glanced at the clock and then turned back to Elena as she removed a small pair of barely there black lace panties. Elijah groaned internally as he watched Elena slip them on. If Mystic Falls wasn't necessary he would take her again where she stood. Elena chuckled as she saw Elijah's expression.
"Like what you see?" Elena teased as she tossed the towel at Elijah. He caught it effortlessly as he grinned at her.
"Indeed I do, if we weren't in a time frame I would take you now where you stand" Elijah smiled wickedly at her.
Elena could feel the hair on the back of her neck stand on ends. God she wished they weren't on a time frame at that moment.
"To answer your question love, we have to leave in 2 hours" he smiled and went to stand in front of her.
Elena reached up and touched his cheek.
"Well Sir, I must get things packed then" she smiled as she pressed herself against his chest.
"You know, I believe we can spare sometime" he whispered as he lowered his lips to hers.
Elena grinned and quickly kissed him before pulling away.
"Ah but you see I need the time to pack, I don't have vampire speed to help me" she smirked and turned to grab her tee shirt.
"You are wicked" he said chuckling to himself.
"I know" Elena grinned and slipped her black camisole on over her bra.
"Love, have you decided where you would like to stay when you return home?" Elijah asked her.
"I assumed at my home, did you have someplace in mind?" she asked him as she slipped on her pants.
"I originally had thought we would stay at the Salvatore Boarding house simply because of Natasha and Katarina" he said causally.
"Oh, I hadn't thought of that. What about Jeremy? Will he be safe at the house?" she asked him as she took a seat next to him on the bed.
"Of course, I can speak to Bonnie and ask her to place a spell on the house to guard him from harm if you wish?" Elijah told her trying to assure her.
"I think that is a great idea" Elena told him smiling.
"I'm glad you approve" he smiled back.
Elijah stood and knelt down to kiss Elena sweetly on the lips.
"I'll leave you to pack love, I too have packing to do" he said to her.
Elena nodded and watched as Elijah left the room. Elena couldn't help but smile at the view as Elijah walked away. He was incredibly sexy and the fact he had dropped the towel on his way out the door didn't hurt any either. Elena smiled as she grabbed her hairbrush from the bathroom and began to brush her hair. Elena took a quick glance in the mirror and saw that the bite mark Elijah had given her was now gone. She stood shocked at the sight. She finally snapped back and finished brushing her hair. Once done Elena began to pack her bags for the trip back home to Mystic Falls. Elena couldn't help the sense of unease that crept up her spine as she packed, she just hoped they would make it back to Mystic Falls before all hell broke loose.
