Please look at the author's note at the end of the chapter, I need help with something.
Elena's mouth dropped open as they pulled up to the Mikaelson's house, no, not house, freaking mansion! Holy crap they really were rich. Elijah chuckled at her expression.
"Close your mouth dear." Elena immediately shut her mouth and blushed beet red. The driver opened the door of the car and the Mikaelsons started getting out. Elena gently nudged Bonnie who had fallen asleep and ended up in her lap. But Bonnie had always been a deep sleeper, so Kol ended up having to carry Bonnie inside, she had immediately snuggled into his chest. Elena smiled at that, he had carried her into the threshold, though Bonnie wasn't awake for it.
Seeing that, Klaus got an idea. He let Caroline walk in front of him for a couple of feet, then he ran up to her and scooped her up from behind making her squeal in surprise. "Put me down! Put me down this instance!" Caroline yelled at him, though she was laughing the whole time.
Elena laughed, she hadn't seen Caroline laugh like that for a long time. Just as she was about to walk up the steps to the door, Elijah, who had been walking beside her, stopped her. He scooped her up in his arms, at her suprised look, he responded, "We might as well."
Elena wrapped an arm around his neck as he carried her up the stairs and into the mansion as though she weighed nothing. Elena couldn't help gaping at the interior of the mansion. Elena saw that Kol was sitting on a couch with the still sleeping Bonnie in his lap.
Elijah continued to carry Elena up the stairs into a huge bedroom that had a huge bed, that must have been custom made because it was way too big to be a king, a fireplace, shelves full of books, and a connecting bathroom.
Elijah gently placed Elena down onto the bed and said, "If you wish you can take shower or change, in the closet you'll find clothes in your size." After he left, Elena decided to take a quick bath.
Once again, Elena's jaw dropped as she saw the size of the bathroom. It had to be the size of her dorm room if not bigger. On the kitchen sink, Elena spotted a small bag that she had already known would be there. But she wouldn't worry about that until later.
Elena struggled a bit unbuttoning the dress, but she just barely managed. She stepped into the jacuzzi-like bath that was built into the floor. The water temperature was just right and felt amazing. Elena didn't bother to wash her hair or take off her make up, it had taken a lot of hair tugging and getting poked in the face with brushes to get her to look like this and she wasn't about to throw all that patience away.
After she spent a couple minutes relaxing, she grabbed a white fluffy towel and stepped back into the bedroom. She stepped into the huge walk in closet. On one side it was all men's apparel, mostly suits. And on the other side was all women's, everything from t-shirts to ball gowns.
Elena decided on legging yoga pants and an off the shoulder top. She went down the stairs were both Caroline and Bonnie were, who had also changed. "Hey guys!" She said as she plopped down on the couch. "Where are the boys?" Elena asked. "They are in the kitchen, cooking." Caroline answered.
"They cook?!" Elena asked. "Apparently, it's kind of hot." Caroline said. Elena rolled her eyes. Just then Elijah came in with his suit jacket off, his bowtie undone, the first couple of his shirt buttons undone, and his sleeves rolled up. The only thought going through Elena's mind is, hot.
"Dinner is ready." Elijah announced, though Elena didn't comprehend what he said until he friends got up. She followed them past a large dining room and into a kitchen. "We only use the dining room for special occasions." Elijah explained as they stepped into the kitchen where a smaller table was set.
The dinner was surprisingly delicious, and they even managed to talk without any awkward silence. But, it then got slightly awkward when it was time to retire to bed. It was due to the fact of the girls growing more and more nervous about the wedding night.
Once Elena and Elijah got in the room, Elena went into the bathroom. Elena stripped and put on the lingerie that was in the bag. Rebekah had helped pick it out too, which was beyond awkward. Elena sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror, well this is it.
When she stepped out of the bathroom she saw that Elijah had stripped to his boxers, his toned body in full display. Elena gulped what was she supposed to do now? Elijah then turned towards her and his eyes widened. Elena shifted uncomfortably at his gaze.
Elijah swallowed and met her eyes. "Elena, I just want you to know, we don't have to do this now. If you feel more comfortable getting to know each other first, before having intercourse. The only reason we married so soon, was to prevent gangs from kidnapping you from us, they are less likely to capture those who already are married and 'used'. I'll go at the pace you want our relationship to go. We can do this now, on our wedding night, or we can wait. It's up to you."
Elena swallowed before responding.
I'm sorry, I'm the devil. This chapter was getting long anyway. Now I need your help with two things. Tell me how you want Elena to respond, if she'll have sex with him on their wedding night or not and why. Also tell me if you want Caroline and Bonnie to have sex with their husbands or not and why. Now the second thing, Siberia21 brought this up when I was actually thinking the same thing. Rebekah will have gone through the program so she has a husband. I need your help helping me decide who the husband should be? I thought she and Jeremy would make a cute couple, but he and Elena would not be related. Please review and leave your votes!
