Bella found herself at the Grill after school. It was Friday and she had plans to stay at the Boarding House. She was learning a lot about Damon and Stefan and her heritage as a Salvatore. She didn't talk a lot, but that was okay. Damon liked to talk, so she listened to him talk about his time as a boy growing up in Mystic Falls in the 1850s. She found it interesting how he's seen so much time pass by. She hadn't been back to the mansion since her little episode with Klaus and Elijah. She had talked to them in passing, but she was trying to figure out all her feelings. It was a lot to take in, and she knew that it was a lot for Klaus to take in as well. He was working on breaking the curse, so he had kept her at arms length anyways. She got her food when she looked up and saw Elijah approach.
"Oh, hey." Bella said and motioned for him to sit with her.
Elijah was always dressed like he was going somewhere formal and she was curious whether that was because of how old he was. She wasn't complaining, he looked amazing regardless and she was sure that he could wear jeans and a t-shirt and still look stunning.
"I haven't seen you in a couple days." Elijah said as he sat. He unbuttoned his suit jacket when he sat down. It was an oddity, seeing Elijah in the Grille like this.
"Mmm. I wanted to give Klaus space. You know with the whole… hybrid thing." She said, her voice low.
Elijah nodded. His brother was driving himself mad with making sure he would get the hybrid under control. They found the moonstone, so the ritual was set to take place tomorrow night. "The ritual will take place tomorrow night. It's the best chance we have in breaking the curse, so I wanted to tell you that… it's likely unwise to drop by at all during the night when the ritual starts. Klaus doesn't want you to be in harms way, and he has no way of knowing what will happen during the ritual."
Bella frowned. "I wanted to be there for him." She had planned on being there for him, as an anchor of sorts so he wouldn't be so lonely when the curse broke.
"I know. But, he is right. The hybrid is unpredictable. We have no way of knowing if it will be violent."
"Won't you be hurt?" Bella was worried.
Elijah smiled a little. "Worried about me?"
"A little." Bella said, her cheeks tinting a little.
Elijah reached across the table and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. "That's lovely, though I can't be killed my love. Hurt, sure, but there is no danger of me losing my life."
"Still, being hurt." Bella murmured and toyed with her fries. "How long will the ritual take?"
Elijah dropped his hand and nodded. "It'll take a while. What if I promised I'll come to you when it's over? Tell you how Niklaus is."
Bella thought about it. She bit her lip a little and then she nodded. "Okay."
"Good." Elijah smiled at her. She was beautiful and since he's known her, she has come out of her shell more and more. She was really trying to be strong, whether it was for herself, or for Klaus or even himself. "Finish your dinner and come for a walk with me. The air isn't as cool tonight."
Bella smiled and nodded. She liked walking with Elijah. He was an older soul, but that was because he was over a thousand years old, but he was also a gentle spirit. She sensed that about him, and she enjoyed his company. She had missed it the last couple days if she was being honest.
Elijah walked with Bella in the park. The park was essentially empty this time of night, with it getting colder out since October just started. So people seemed to stay indoors more during this time of year. "Tell me, what is on your mind tonight?" He said after they walked in silence. He could tell that she was thinking about something, and he was curious to know what was going on inside her mind.
"Is it odd?"
"What is odd?"
"I'm imprinted to Klaus, but you're my vampire mate." Bella said and looked over at him.
Elijah thought about it. Magic was not exact and essentially that is what they were, magical creatures. "It is odd and I admit the logistics are out of my area of expertise, but I don't question the validity. Are you?"
"No, it's just. If I wanted to kiss you… would that upset Klaus?"
"Niklaus understands the situation. Regardless of his feelings, he knows that this is something he cannot help or change. Vampire mates are pained without the acceptance of the other. The same goes for imprints. You deny us both, it's pain, though you don't deny us. You're choosing to be there for both of us. When you could have just walked away." He stopped walking then turned and looked at her. "Bella, I will never infringe on a relationship with you and my brother. I would never dream of upsetting the balance. My world is my family. There is nothing I would not do and that includes being in pain, forever, if it means keeping my brother happy."
Bella was silent. "But… what if I don't want you to do that? What if I want you both?"
Elijah smiled, amusement lifting to his eyes. "Then I am yours." He said.
Bella bit her lip, hesitating a little, but she stepped towards Elijah and she ran her hands up his hard chest. He let her feel him. It was her own comfort, knowing that she could take some control like this. She tipped up on her toes and her mouth sought his.
Elijah slid his hands from his pockets and lifted her around the waist so she didn't have to struggle to kiss him. Her lips parted and her tongue swept over his, tasting him. He heard the way her heart rate increased and it was thrilling.
Bella loved how it felt to kiss someone that wasn't forcing her to do something she wasn't ready to do. She was in control in this moment and that was exhilarating. She pressed for more, allowing herself to tumble through her feelings. She skipped past memories of Edward but some tried to stick. She pulled her face away and Elijah set her down gently. "I need to forget the way he feels."
"Edward?" Elijah queried. "I won't harm you Bella, you have my word."
"I know you won't… but he caused so much pain. I need to know what pleasure is supposed to be like. Can you… touch me?"
Elijah blinked, a little stunned at her words. "How do you want me to touch you Bella?"
Bella swallowed and then lifted his hand to touch her breast. It was a start and she felt her anxiety trying to cripple her already, but she wanted to work hard at this. She wanted to feel normal again.
Elijah felt the swell of her breast and the weight in his hand. She was perfect. He massaged her gently, watching her face as panic and fear crossed. "Bella, this is too much for you. Did Edward… Did he-"
"He raped me… yes." Bella cut him off. She felt her chest constrict at the memories of Edward taking whatever he wanted from her.
Elijah hated that any man would be so vile as to take advantage. He removed his hand and took a step back. He felt anger and it was a first time in a long time that he felt this way.
"Elijah, I want to heal. I need to heal and I-I want to know what it's supposed to feel like, so I can move past it. Damon isn't home right now. He's at the Lockwood manor. Come home with me." Bella said, heat rising to her face. She couldn't believe she just asked Elijah to come back to the boarding house with her. She was crazy.
Elijah was shocked at her words. "Bella…"
"Please." Bella begged.
Elijah was quiet a moment before he nodded, giving in to the look in her eyes. It was a look of need and if he was honest with himself, he needed her as well.
[Salvatore Boarding House]
Bella led Elijah upstairs to her room. She shut the door behind them. The bed in her room was king sized. All the beds in this house was king sized and the furniture was antiqued, which made sense because this house stored everything Damon and Stefan collected throughout the years. It was remodeled of course in the bathroom. Having a modern, updated bathroom was essential. Her bed covers were a royal purple color and there was an unlit fireplace in her room as well. The room was larger than her room at the guest house at Lockwood estates. She enjoyed staying at the boarding house because it wasn't as noisy compared to the Lockwoods.
Elijah looked around her room. This was the first time he had stepped foot in the Salvatore Boarding House and he admired the layout. His dark eyes returned to Bella and she was sitting on her bed now. She patted the covers beside her and Elijah walked over and sat next to her. "Bella, we don't have to do anything. We can sit here and talk as well. Sometimes healing comes with words."
"I know, but… Elijah how am I ever going to be able to carry on a relationship with not just Klaus, but with you as well if I'm constantly haunted by my memories of Edward? I need new memories. Ones that can stop the nightmares from happening."
Elijah could understand that. He hesitated, but then nodded. "Alright. You must tell me to stop when you need me to stop. I will never do anything you don't want me to do." He reassured her.
Bella nodded, biting her lip a little. She stood and faced Elijah. "I'm self-conscious of my body and my scars." She said then took her shirt off and dropped it on the floor. She unhooked her bra and she let it fall away. She was topless in front of him now. The white crescent scars peppered her skin everywhere, including her breast and nipple.
Elijah's eyes moved over her body. It pained him to see the scars on her body, the abuse that Edward inflicted on her. "You are beautiful Bella. You have no reason to be self-conscious.
Bella swallowed then she unfastened her pants and stepped out of them. She was standing in her panties now. Her heart rate sped up and her face reddened a little.
Elijah's raked down her body to her legs. She had scars between her legs too and on her thighs. He reached a hand out and brushed it up her stomach lightly. She leaned into his touch, her hands going to his shoulders when she straddled him.
"Touch me, Elijah." Bella murmured.
Elijah's hands moved over her sides, to her breast. He was gentle, his thumbs rolling over her nipples and she instantly gasped in a pleasured surprise.
"That… that feels good." Bella nodded, closing her eyes and remembering every trace of Elijah's fingers and his hands.
Elijah thumbed her nipples again and she moaned a little. Her sweet, aroused scent filled the air around them and he knew that she was enjoying this. His mouth captured hers, his tongue tangling with hers as his fingers pinched her nipples gently tugging on them to keep her excited. Her hips shifted in his lap and he knew it was her instinct. Her body was doing what it was supposed to do, its own reaction to arousal.
Bella's hands went to Elijah's suit jacket and she pushed it off his shoulders before her fingers started unfastening his buttons. She was a little nervous, so Elijah paused to help her. When he took the shirt off, she admired him a moment. It was clear that he was strong. His toned muscles shivered when she brushed her hands over his bare skin. His hands moved back over her body, roaming up her back and he played with her hair. Her mouth kissed his jawline, before she reached his neck. Elijah closed his eyes and let her explore him. His cock was straining in his pants and he knew that she could feel his erection because she shifted slightly. The thin cotton of her panties and his pants were the only things between them that stopped their union.
Bella felt free as she explored Elijah, her mind wasn't clouded and her nerves started to just melt away the longer she explored like this. He wasn't pressuring her to anything and she liked that. His hands moved down over her ass as she shifted her hips again. She didn't realize she was doing it really, but it was something her body did in response to him. Her hands moved down over his body, her mouth coming back to his now, kissing him, their tongues mating together. Her fingers brushed the material of his pants, while she was only planning on kissing and him touching her, she had a small thought that she wanted to feel his cock. She wanted to touch it. Edward never let her touch him ever and she never understood why in the moment, so she wanted to feel Elijah now. She wanted it to be on her own terms. So she unzipped his pants and unfastened them before she shifted in his lap to spring him free with her hand.
Elijah groaned against her mouth when her hand wrapped around him. His brain felt like it shut down for a few moments when she stroked him, unsure of what she was doing, but it felt good regardless. He broke the kiss to look at her. Her icy blue eyes were curious and bright. It was different from the timid Bella, but right now, her arousal was powering her. "Bella…"he murmured, her hand gliding over his cock faster and faster. It brought a moan to his lips and he shivered a little.
Bella bit her lip, before she pushed him backwards onto the bed, surprising him.
He lay on his back now and she was hovering over him, her mouth kissing his chest. Was this real? Or was he dreaming again? "Bella…." He moaned a little when her mouth suddenly covered his cock. He gasped a little. "Bella…"
Bella leaned up, looking at how big Elijah's cock was. He was large and it was strange, but she really was enjoying this. She was enjoying herself. She felt so free, so alive and that's all she wanted. With her free hand, she pushed at her panties, getting them moved to the side. Elijah's eyes were shut as he lay there and enjoyed how she touched him. She managed to surprise him when she placed his tip at her wet entrance.
Elijah's eyes flew open when he felt what she was doing and his hands went to her waist instantly. "Bella… you-"
"Please." Bella murmured, her heart knocking hard in her chest. She was going for it. If she stopped now, she would back out and she wouldn't get to feel what it was like.
Elijah struggled internally for a minute, but he nodded and he helped her slide down over his pulsing shaft. He moaned as she fit snug over him.
Bella sat there, feeling the large invasion. She was so tight and he was so big, but it felt okay. She wasn't in pain. This was different. A cock was inside her and she wasn't in pain. She was so stunned at how good she felt right now that she didn't know what to do next.
Elijah swallowed a little and reached one of his hands up to cup her face. "Bella, it's okay if you need to stop."
"I don't want to stop, I just… never thought I would go this far and now I'm not sure what to do." Bella admitted.
Elijah nodded, understanding now. He moved his hand back to her hips and he lifted her gently, guiding her hips. "Feel okay?"
Bella nodded. "It feels okay. It's different… It doesn't hurt." She reassured him.
"Good." Elijah said and then he lifted her off him completely. She tried to protest, but he rolled her onto the bed on her back. "I'm going to pleasure you Bella. If that's okay?"
Bella nodded, watching his face go down, her heart thumping hard again in her chest, not sure what it was going to be, as a flash of Edward entered her head of him biting her down there. But Elijah's tongue swirled over her swollen clit, taking her by surprise. Tingles shot through her and she got even wetter. His fingers pushed inside her at the same time his tongue swirled around, tasting her and driving her towards an orgasm. Something she had never experienced before. She felt tension in her belly as something started to build. She wasn't sure what was happening, but it felt really good and she was so relaxed now. When she did orgasm, it made her gasp and moan really loud, her hands winding in the sheets. She gushed out and Elijah drank her in, his fingers slowing, but his tongue dancing still over her sensitive cunt.
"Elijah…" Bella breathed out in pure satisfaction.
"Feeling good?" Elijah smiled as he leaned up, his thumb replacing his tongue.
"Oh god." Bella felt her body quake a little as pleasure continued to fill her up inside. "More!" She begged.
Elijah smiled and leaned back down, his tongue diving against her clit again expertly. Her legs quaked and her body jolted when another orgasm sank it's way through her. She moaned his name out this time, her hands wrenching the sheets more.
"Elijah!"
"Hearing you scream my name tonight was not the way I thought this night would go." Elijah admitted as he gently toyed with her still.
Bella felt sweat bead over her skin and she wanted the pleasure to never end. "Can you be inside me?" She asked, no inhibitions were left. She had no fear of Elijah or his touch. She craved it now and she wanted to feel him inside her again, see if she could withstand the pressure.
Elijah was hesitant, but he agreed. He silently positioned his cock at her wet entrance. "Bella, you have to tell me when it's too much." He reminded her and she nodded. He slid his cock inside her wet cavern and she purred as he slipped in all the way. It was like heaven to him, being inside her like this. He hadn't been with a woman in a very long time. He shifted his hips slow and shallow, careful not to be too hard. She hummed as he pushed inside her. It was nothing but pleasure for her and that was the goal.
"Faster Elijah." Bella moaned a little. A different sensation was building and she chased that high. Elijah obliged, thrusting into her faster and faster until she was moaning out his name once more, her hands tightening in the sheets again. Elijah moaned too as he felt himself release. He pushed inside her, his hips sinking deep, his cock jumping around inside her as his orgasm met hers.
They were quiet for a few moments before he slid from her carefully and lay beside her. She rolled against him and his arm went around her.
This was a breakthrough for her. Bella was happy with this. She didn't think she would jump right to sex so soon, but something about Elijah… something about this experience was very healing for her. Nothing was painful. Everything was her idea and everything Elijah did, she wanted him to do. That was the best part of it. A moment later, Elijah's phone rang and he had to shift away from her to find his pants to fish his phone out.
He answered.
"Niklaus."
"You're not back. I expected you home a couple hours ago." Klaus's voice filtered through the phone.
Bella leaned up, looking down at Elijah. "Is that Klaus? Does he need you?"
"You're with Bella still." Klaus said.
Elijah nodded. "I'm at the boarding house with Bella, yes."
"Is she alright?"
"I imagine she's feeling quite alright… now." Elijah teased a little.
Bella slapped Elijah on his chest and that got a smile out of Elijah. "Tell Klaus that I want to be there tomorrow."
"I don't want her to get hurt. Tell her no."
"Klaus doesn't want you to get hurt."
"I can handle it." Bella insisted and sat up, her breasts bouncing slightly.
Elijah's hands brushed over her breast on instinct, but he sighed. "Bella, I too don't think it's a good idea." He said and paused. "Your father just walked through the door." He told Bella. "Niklaus, as much as I want to chat. I have to go and get clothes on or-"
"Tell me you are not in bed with her right now."
Bella was blushing a little at Elijah's words.
"I cannot lie to you. Damon is home, I'll be home shortly." Elijah said and hung up. He looked at Bella. "He's right. It's too dangerous for you to be there tomorrow. Please, for this time, trust me and trust Niklaus when we say we want you to be safe." He murmured then leaned in and kissed her softly. "Please."
Bella sighed. "Fine. But I really want him to be okay. Is he… is he mad that we slept together?"
"No." Elijah lied. He knew his brother and he knew that Klaus was likely smashing things at the mansion right now. He got out of bed and pulled on his clothes. "He'll be okay." He said and looked at his watch. "You should take a bath and relax."
Bella got out of bed and started pulling her clothes on. "No. My dad is going to try and kill you the moment you walk downstairs, so I'll walk you out."
"I am an original vampire. Damon cannot harm me. " Elijah smiled and pulled his suit jacket on.
Bella smiled. "I know… but still." She said and then she walked over to him and leaned up then kissed him softly. "Don't tease Klaus please."
"I'll try not to." Elijah said and kissed her back before going to her door and opening it to a very angry looking Damon. "You aren't as scary as you believe you are."
Damon glared at Elijah. "It's time for you to leave Elijah."
"Well, that is why I opened the door Damon. My plan was to stick around longer, but alas, you're home and my brother calls me." Elijah said.
"Dad. Not now." Bella said gently.
Damon loved hearing her call him dad, so he stepped to the side.
Elijah smiled a little. "I will come to you tomorrow to let you know how Niklaus is. Sleep well Bella." He said and then he disappeared.
Damon was looking at Bella now, disappointed. "Bella-"
"Please don't start. I'm an adult I-"
"Elijah is a 1000 year old vampire." Damon said, shaking his head. "I thought something was going on between you and Klaus, now I have to worry about Elijah?"
"Klaus imprinted on me." Bella said and sighed. "And Elijah is… I'm his vampire mate."
"Excuse me!" Damon was in shock. "No. That is… no."
Bella shook her head. "It can't be helped."
"And Klaus is just going to be okay with what just happened in here tonight? Bella, you gave-"
"I wasn't a virgin dad. God, I don't even want to have this discussion with you. Dad, I'm not a little girl. I get it, you missed out on 17 years of my life, but I'm not a little girl. That ship sailed a long time ago. I didn't get a choice then, I have that choice now."
"What do you mean you didn't have that choice then? Bella did Edward-"
Bella cut him off again. "He raped me okay! Over and over again. I have more scars all over my body that I'm not going to show you because that is embarrassing. Elijah and Klaus are helping me move past the trauma. What happened tonight, was me conquering my fears. It was me, healing. I want to be normal dad. Can't I just be normal?" Her voice broke a little at the end.
Damon saw the tears coming and so he just hugged her gently. "Shhh. I'm sorry. Don't cry. I…"he wasn't sure what to say. Hearing that Edward raped her, made his blood boil. He wanted to hunt Edward down and kill him for inflicting that trauma on Bella… his daughter… his baby girl.
Bella shook a little when she cried. "I want to be normal." She murmured again.
Damon kissed the top of her head and stroked her hair. "You're normal. It's okay. Whatever you want Bella… whatever makes you happy, I'll… I'll be happy if you're happy." He murmured.
That's all Bella wanted to hear. She just wanted to be happy and the fact that Damon was willing to accept what was going on with her Klaus and Elijah, that was a start.
