Chapter Six
A/N: So I hate that I totally love the series finally of the Originals even though I have been crying for like two hours straight and will never not hate myself for loving it. Who else saw it? And cried like a baby?
Also, I'm thinking of making this instead of a 3/4 of Original brothers, might as well go for the whole set, lol.
"So, Nik, what brought you to the Big Apple?" Clover asked, taking a sip of her whiskey on the rocks, wishing that it was a firewhiskey instead.
Nik smiled slightly at her. "I'm looking for something someone stole from me and I heard that she was in the city but I just missed her."
"What'd she steal, if it's not too bold of me?"
"I don't mind. She stole a, ah, very precious and valuable stone that has been in my family for a little over a thousand years."
Clover raised an eyebrow. "Well, I hope you find it and have her arrested or something."
"Or something." Nik said with a wider smirk on his handsome features.
That started the conversation between the two Brits for the rest of the evening until last call.
"May I walk you home?" Nik asked as they stood on the sidewalk in front of the bar.
"I actually have a long drive home back to Virginia but thank you."
Nik shook his head and placed his hand on her upper arm to stop her from turning away from him.
"Now, what kind of gentleman would I be if I let a young beautiful woman like yourself drive home at night by herself after she has been drinking? I have a spare bed in my suite at my hotel, you could spend the night and leave first thing tomorrow morning." Clover sighed.
Turning back to face him, she paused, her eyes slowly moving from where they had landed on his lips up to his bright blue eyes. She hadn't realized how close they had gotten to each other until that moment. Clover unconsciously licked her dry lips and Nik's eyes darkened as he followed the movement. Blue met green as he began to lower his head, giving Clover the opportunity to pull back at any time but for some strange reason, something was pulling her towards this man and was not letting her pull back as finally his lips met her's.
Clover gasped at the sparks that ignited in their kiss and Nik took advantage of that to deepen the kiss, having felt the same thing she had, but knew why. She was his. And he was her's at that moment.
One of Clover's hands rested lightly on his chest while the other was wrapped around his neck and pulling him closer to her while one of Nik's arms was wrapped around her waist anchoring her to him and the other threaded through her black curly hair.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity Nik pulled back from her lips to look down into her glazed green eyes.
"Stay? Please?"
Clover's eyes slowly unglazed and she met his eyes.
Clover took a deep breath to calm herself only to be overwhelmed by the smell of him.
She wanted to be selfish once in her life, right here, right now. It wasn't like she would ever see him again after tonight, right?
"Yes."
And the rest of the night was a blur of bliss and pleasure that connected two lonely souls, leaving one complete, and the other yearning for the other parts of her soul that she knew was still out there in the world.

Clover woke up to someone tracing her back lightly and she immediately knew that it was Nik.
She rolled over and gazed sleepily up at the handsome man.
"Morning, sweetheart."
"Morning." Nik bent his head and kissed her. He pulled back and was just content to have his mate finally in his arms, even if she didn't know she was his yet. "Nik?"
"Hmm?"
Clover took a deep breath, and propped herself up on her elbow to look down at him. She had felt their souls connect last night and knew that he wasn't completely human.
"Look, I hate it when people don't just come out and say what they want to say or ask so I'm just going to ask, okay?" Nik was staring up into her eyes, his face, once peaceful, now a blank mask. "You might think that I'm crazy, but, I felt it last night, our connecting of the souls. Your soul filled part of the void that I didn't even know I had and let me know that there are three others out there that I need to complete this, this, empty feeling inside of me." Nik stiffened at the mere thought of having to share his mate with others but knew that it was a high possibility, since true mates were rare and even rarer are even more then one mate but it has happened throughout the thousand years vampires have been created.
"And I also sense that you are not fully human."
Nik turned his eyes onto her, coming out of his thoughts.
"But that's okay, because I'm not either."
