Chapter 3

Bennet Estate, the following day...

"Wasn't that the most marvelous ball?" Jane said as she helped Elijah clip the white roses that Jane loved so much.

Elijah chuckled, "Mr. Bingley certainly seemed to think so."

Jane blushed with embarrassment, "I did not expect him to ask me to dance so much."

"I did. He's not blind... so, he had to notice you were the prettiest girl in the room!" Elijah said with a smile.

Jane blushed crimson, "He is just what a young man ought to be, isn't he? Sensible, good-humored, lively..." She gushed.

"And handsome!" Elijah giggled.

Jane blushed to her neck, "Indeed..." She sighed a bit sadly, "I'm sure he will find a woman of rank and wealth to appreciate him."

"You underestimate your charms, Jane."

"And you make too much of them, my brother. But, enough of me! What did Mr. Darcy want with you after Mr. Bingley pulled me to dance?"

Elijah's joy instantly went to annoyance as he remembered the insufferable man. "He just teased me about his perverse ways. He thought I would go along with them, probably because I look as pretty as a girl. What a very proud, rude, arrogant, man!" Elijah huffed, "Not only did he say something so naughty to me but, he dare to talk ill of our sisters!"

Jane gasped, "I cannot believe Mr. Darcy is such a pervert. Are you sure he meant to tease you?"

"Oh, he meant it!"

"Perhaps he really did like you... or felt that you also felt fondness towards him." Jane tried to sooth Elijah's anger.

"Or perhaps he is just a terrible pervert!" Elijah huffed as he crossed his arms. "Just because he is handsome, and rich... He thinks everyone should just do his every whim. But, I will not!"

Jane patted his arm trying to comfort him, "I don't believe Bingley would be such good friends with such a man. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding."

Elijah looked at his sister fondly as he chuckled, "Oh, Jane, I do not believe there was a misunderstanding. And I also don't think you could think poorly of anyone... no matter how badly they had behaved." He said as he put his arm around her and hugged her.

They walked to Sir Williams estate that afternoon to visit with him and his daughter Charlotte.

"How was the ball? You must tell me all of the gossip." Charlotte asked as they walked up to the estate.

"Oh, Charlotte, you should've been there! It was wonderful... for Jane..." Elijah said as he hugged Charlotte.

"Oh? How so?" Charlotte asked with interest as they pulled away from each other.

"Jane made quite the impression on our neighbor, Mr. Bingley!" Elijah said as he patted Jane on the shoulder as Jane blushed.

Charlotte's eyes widened in shock, "Bingley? The gentleman who's just leased Netherfield Park?"

"I think I will go inside and keep Sir William company." Jane said as she walked to the home.

"Okay, see you in a bit Jane!" Elijah said then turned to Charlotte. "The very one." He said.

"Jane must move quickly! Every girl in town will be throwing themselves at him."

"No way! They've only just met." Elijah said in shock. "She doesn't even know him that well."

"He's rich and single. What more is there to know?" Charlotte sighed, "besides, happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance, anyway."

Elijah grimaced, "How very unromantic of you."

Charlotte chuckled, "There's time enough to fall in love once you've married the fellow. The trick is to catch him first."

"Is this what young ladies think about? Catching a man to marry, then fall in love?" Elijah chuckled, "I think you've grown bitter, Charlotte."

Charlotte just smiled, " No, just practical." She gasped suddenly, "Oh, speaking of which, you must come over tonight. You and Jane. Bingley will be there."

Elijah scrunched up his nose, "Will his friend, Mr. Darcy be there as well?"

Charlotte looked at Elijah curiously, "No, I don't think so. Will you come?"

Elijah smiled down at her, "Yes, of course. We wouldn't miss it or the chance for Jane to see Bingley again." He said as they walked back to her estate.

Later that evening at Sir Williams estate...

"So, good you could come!" Sir William said as the Bennet's walked in.

"Thank you, Sir William." Mrs. Bennet said with glee. "We were thrilled when your daughter Charlotte invited us." She said as she smiled while allowing him to take her hand and kiss it. "You throw the finest parties... with the finest guests!" She said as Jane and Bingley's eyes found one another.

Bingley approached Jane, "Why miss Jane! It's lovely to see you again!" Bingley said to Jane as he kissed her hand. "I was hoping we would meet again... May I?" He asked as he took her to the dance floor.

Elijah looked around worriedly. What if he saw Darcy again? He asked himself as Sir William came up to him. "Are you going to ask one of these lovely ladies to dance, son?" He asked.

Elijah scuffed, "Not exactly."

The older man looked at Elijah with raised eye brows, "Looking for someone special, then?"

"No. More like, making sure I don't run into them." Elijah said as he continued to look around.

Suddenly, those silver blue eyes appeared and his eyes were captured. Elijah glared at him and walked away to the balcony away from the party. He just wasn't in the mood, now that he knew Darcy was here. He sighed as he leaned on the balcony over looking the gardens.

Elijah jumped as he heard someone clear they're throat. He whipped around to see the last person he wanted to see, Darcy. "My apologies Mr. Darcy but, I wish to be alone." Elijah said to him.

Darcy nodded but kept stepping toward Elijah, "My most humble apologies, for last evening. I believe there was a misunderstanding... and I wish to correct it."

Elijah scuffed, "You needn't be polite with me. I understood fully." He said as he started to walk away.

Darcy grabbed his arm and pulled the smaller man closer to him. "Is that so? And what exactly did you understand?" Darcy asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

Elijah glared up at Darcy, "That you tease me because of my feminine appearance, and you think just because I look like a girl that I mustwant men to do naughtythings to me. Do you dare deny it?" Elijah said with anger and sarcasm in his tone.

Darcy chuckled, "Not at all. I did not assume such a perverse idea. I simply assumed that you, like me, find men attractive. And that you, also found me attractive as do I find you attractive." He looked down at Elijah with a sincere look, "Do you deny it?"

Elijah licked his lips as he looked up at Darcy. Darcy's eyes shot down to his lips with a look of lust, "I do not." He said softly.

Darcy smiled his half smile, "Good. I wish to know you. I understand my mistake the last time we spoke. I came to you too aggressively. I will try to fix this in the future."

Elijah snorted, "Aggressively? You said.. such.. naughty things.. to me, Mr. Darcy." He blushed, "I've never been so perversely sot after."

Darcy slowly looked down Elijah's small body, then back up just as slowly. "I assume you were surprised."

"I was..."

Darcy gently pulled Elijah closer to him as he moved farther into the darkest part of the balcony, where no prying eye's saw them. "My apologies. That was not my intent."

"And what was you're intent? What is your intent now?" Elijah asked as he let the larger man drag him into the darkness.

Darcy caged Elijah against the darkest part of the balcony. "My intent, was to make you mine. That still is my intent."

Elijah blushed, "Yours? Like a mistress?"

Darcy chuckled softly, "I am not married. And I will never be. That is my choice. Because, I want you." Elijah gasped and blushed more, "I find you.. so.. titillating. Please, tell me you reciprocate my feelings. Please?" Darcy begged as his face got closer and closer to Elijah's.

Elijah looked away slightly out of embarrassment as he bit his lip, "I do.. reciprocate." He pressed his hands on Darcy's chest, "But, I can not."

Darcy pulled back slightly, "Why not?" He asked with some annoyance in his tone and face.

"Because, of what you said.. about my beloved sisters."

Darcy sighed, "Yet, another misunderstanding." He said with exasperation. "I said that to Bingley because, he dose not know my secret. Nor, do I wish him to know. I said what I said, because, I have no interest in women. Until you, I had no interest in anyone, other then Bingley." He said as he raked his hand through his hair, "But, my love for Bingley does not even compare to how I feel for you." He grabbed Elijah's arms gently, "I want you. More then I have ever wanted Bingley. I think... No, I'm sure, that what I felt for Bingley was just my love of his friendship. I have never longed for him like I have longed for you." He licked his lips, "I stayed up all night, thinking of nothing but you. I want you... I want you so desperately, Elijah..."

Elijah's flushed face flushed tomato red. This man wanted him, and hadn't he been looking for a good man to want him for him? He asked himself. "I don't know what to say..."

Darcy chuckled softly, "You do not have to say anything. Just allow me to kiss you..."

Elijah nodded slowly as he looked at Darcy's lips, "Okay..."

That was all Darcy needed. He all at once grabbing Elijah's head gently and planted his lips on to Elijah's. He moved his lips slowly, savoring Elijah's sweet taste. He licked the smaller man's lips, which earned him a soft gasp. Darcy took his chance to slip his tongue into Elijah's hot, sweet, wet, mouth. Elijah softly moaned as their tongues touched and writhed together. Darcy's hand slipped down Elijah's back to the small of his back and pressed him closer as Darcy deepened the kiss.

"Elijah?" Elijah's eye's widened as he heard his sister Jane's voice.

"Darcy?" Darcy reluctantly ended the kiss with Elijah at the sound of Bingley's voice.

"I saw my brother go this way." Jane said to Bingley.

"I saw Darcy go this way as well." Bingley told her.

"Darcy? Oh, dear..." Jane gasped.

Darcy put his finger over Elijah's mouth as he looked at him with stern eyes. He shifted his eyes toward the couple talking in the light of the balcony.

"What is it?" Bingley asked.

"Oh, I fear my brother is not fond of Mr. Darcy at all."

"Really? I have not heard such things from Darcy." Bingley said, "Although, I do recall Darcy asking a great deal about the Bennet son."

"Really? Darcy has taken such an interest in my brother?" Jane asked.

"Yes. It surprised me, Darcy has never took such an interest in someone before."

"Oh... Maybe he has fond feelings for my brother." Jane said.

"Fond feelings?" Bingley chuckled, "Surely Darcy just see's an interest in your brother due to so many lovely ladies living amongst him."

Jane looked away, "Oh, yes, perhaps that is it."

"Come they are obviously are not here. Let us get some refreshments." Bingley said as he led Jane away from the balcony back to the party.

Darcy and Elijah sighed in relief. "That was close." Elijah said. "Although I do not care if it was just Jane. She is the only one that knows my secret."

Darcy looked at him, "As does my sister."

"I suppose sisters are good to have in that aspect."

"Indeed." Darcy said as he looked back at Elijah's lips. "Shall we continue?"

"No, this is too public of a place. Perhaps we could get to know one another for the rest of the evening?" Elijah suggested.

"That does sound quite appealing." Darcy said as he lead Elijah away from the balcony and re-entered the party to find a quiet place to chat.
