A/N: Rated M - smut
The vampires and the hybrids had just about finished gathering the bodies of the dead and loading them into vans, Elena had no idea what happened to them next and she was sure she didn't want too either; the siblings had gathered some wood and kindling and lit a bonfire at the back of the house to celebrate their family, their victory, and Elena's new found power as a witch.
Marcel had returned with his vampires after a liquor run and the hybrids joined once the place was cleaned up; the vampires mingled, the hybrids joined in and the drinks were flowing, Elena found herself sat with the family once more as they watched the flames burn, she looked beside her at Elijah, allowing herself to gaze into his eyes for a long and lingering minute, it was like she saw him in a whole new light and she was starting to feel free from the erratic emotions and power that she struggled to keep at bay. She had took in an immense amount of power tonight, it consumed her and she could have easily died at any point, she was starting to care less about the restrictions within her life and start trying to enjoy it.
A couple of Marcel's vampires had dragged a sound system onto the deck and the music began to blast, each of them laughed as the battle had lead to a victory party, it was loud and messy but well deserved; they all joined in with the festivities and this was the first official vampire party Elena had been too, it was a culture shock, to say the least.
In one corner, there was sparring, two vampires fighting through the ranks until the strongest would inevitably face Marcel and Rebekah decided to join with them, Kol was drinking and gallivanting, Klaus was watching and laughing as the vampires in the other corner drank there way through kegs and shots and there where so many blurs of vampires dashing around the place, her eyes couldn't keep track.
Elena was involving herself as much as she could but she was exhausted, she walked towards the deck by the kitchen door and turned around one last time to look at a true victory battle, to see the people she called family and she took solace in the fact all these people would fight for her and her family.
Walking through the house to her bedroom, it was like a battle never happened, the hybrids and vampires had fixed everything up and either restored or replaced the broken furniture and it was immaculate.
Reaching her bedroom, she welcomed the peace and quiet away from the festivities and nothing sounded more appealing than a shower and a deep sleep; she went into the bathroom and switched on the hot water, letting it run whilst she grabbed a towel from the cupboard in her room.
"How are you feeling?" She heard his voice behind her and she could just picture him standing in the doorway, his arm resting against the frame with his hand in his pocket and a smile to make even the most emotionally unavailable people feel weak.
She turned around and confirmed the image she had of him in her head, everything about him was perfect and she welcomed his presence more than she had before, "I'm fine, really, you should be at the party, you deserve to celebrate."
"Much too wild for my liking," he responded, his smile creeping further up on the corner of his lip.
"And I was never much of a party girl," she admitted, an amused smirk appearing on her lips; she took a few steps closer to him, leaving a small distance between them with the threshold of the door between them, "thank you for today, Elijah, you trusted me with Celeste's necklace, believed in me and saved my life again."
"I'll always protect you, Elena, I couldn't bare to lose you," his voice softened and he stared intently into her eyes, he would normally see a glimmer of doubt within them, some type of resistance but it had vanished.
"You won't lose me, Elijah," she took his hand and gently pulled him inside the room and he closed the door behind him.
"You are immensely powerful now, I doubt you'll need my protection from now on," he took a step closer to her, the back of his fingers smoothing along her cheek.
"I still need you though, Elijah, protection or not," she allowed herself to be completely vulnerable with him, something that was making her increasingly nervous, "always."
Elijah's facial expressions completely softened and his eyes were fixated on her; he could hear her heartbeat and it was thunderous as it pounded within her, "I'll stay by your side for as long as you will allow it."
"How does forever sound?" A soft smile curled up on her lips and she wrapped her hands around his neck, nearing herself to him slowly.
"Not long enough, no amount of time on this earth with you will ever be enough," her lips parted slightly at his words, how deep and meaningful they where and they'd be forever etched into her heart.
"Elijah, I,-" he cut her sentence short by pulling her into a passionate and forceful kiss, his hand smoothed up her back and wrapped around the back of her neck, pushing her further into him
Using his speed, he lifted her up onto him and she wrapped her legs around his back as he sped her onto the wall behind him; her hands clung onto his shoulders as he broke there kiss to bury his lips into her neck and lavish her with forceful kisses, his hands squeezed at her waist and held her perfectly on him.
The heat between them started to take over her and she was fully ready to let him in, to show him how she truly felt about him and that this is what she wanted, that he was what she wanted with every fibre of her being, forever; her hands smoothed down his chest and she ripped the buttons on his shirt from there stitching, revealing his perfectly sculpted body, she was sure she felt a spark of her magic when she removed his shirt and she liked it.
Sliding the shirt from his shoulders, she pushed it from his body and it fell to the floor; he reciprocated and traced his hands down her sides causing a tremble of pleasure to shoot through her, he grazed the sides of her breasts, continued down her waist and hips to the hem of her shirt and with one swift motion, it was over her head and tossed away; one simple flick of his fingers and he undone her bra, she pulled the straps from her shoulders and let it fall to the floor, he admired her body momentarily, taking the chance to capture her beauty and breath her in completely.
She met their lips once again, pouring all of her passion and vulnerability in it as their body's pressed and rubbed against each others, her pleasure waves grew and he sped her to the other side of the room, his back was facing the wall and as he kissed down her neck, she hung her head back and her back arched as he kept moving lower down her body, his kisses trailing lower and his arm slid around her waist and held her as her body hung perfectly from him, allowing him to lavish her stomach and chest with kisses.
Moans elicited from her lips the more force he put into his moves and smoothed his hand up her back and lifted her with it, there bodies crashed against each other and he held onto the back of her head, his fingers entangling in her hair as he brought her back onto his lips; she saw in her mind the edge of her bed and with a magical boost, she flashed them over there, sitting him on the edge and sitting in his lap, their kiss unbroken as she began to pull at his belt and undo the button.
Her pleasure grew and she couldn't control herself any longer; she kissed his neck and along his shoulders, her nails dug into the skin on his back and low groan erupted from his lips; his perfectly collected and noble self completely left him and he was like an animal, he lifted her once again, her legs still trapped him to her hold and he flashed her onto the bed, gently laying her down and allowing her just one moment to see him, the emotion on his face, the way he looked at her with such love, the animalistic desires within him that he held just for her and how he looked shirtless and his pants button undone, it was a side of him she would remember forever.
Within a flash, he was towering over her and there fingers interlocked on the pillow beside her head, she breathed heavily onto his lips and he could feel the laboured rise and fall of her chest; he kissed down her body until he reached the top of her jeans, he slowly pulled them from her body and only her panties left her covered but they didn't stay for long, they were tore from her and the pieces of fabric thrown to the floor.
She was completely bare to him and her heart couldn't handle the rapid thumping, she was nervous but everything about this felt right, he was completely and utterly enamoured with her and he knew that she had him, everything about him was hers.
He was on his knees on the bed, admiring her frame as he pressed his hand onto her thigh, smoothing kisses along her inner thigh and his hands found their way to her hips; his grip of her tightened as he lifted her lower half to meet his lips, her back was arched slightly in the air and he buried his mouth within her. A loud and lustful moan burst from her lips when she felt him swirl his tongue around her, it was slow and forceful and the more her body trembled, the further she pushed her hips on him.
Her pleasure was uncontainable, she writhed beneath him, clutching at the bed sheets, his hair, anything she could get a hold of as she shook and tingled around him, her back arched more as the ecstasy within her began to rise until she reached her climax, a series of moans following and he felt her body clench.
His lips met hers again but he slowed them down completely, giving her the chance to ride out her high and connect with her on a more intimate and emotional level; she was vulnerable and he held all the power, he had her heart, mind and body and they where his to do with as he pleased and when he chose to hold them safe within him, she knew this was forever. His hands cupped her face and caressed her cheeks, bringing her as close to him as she could.
And it was her turn; with a magical boost, she swiftly and smoothly wrapped her leg around his back and spun him beneath her, she straddled his waist and moved her kisses down his body until she reached his pants, she pulled them down over him and he kicked them off quickly along with his boxers, he was left completely bare to her and there was nothing between them. He still couldn't believe this was happening, it was completely surreal to him, this was the woman that held his heart in her hands and who had pushed him away so many times, that he thought the day for them to be together, in more ways than one, would never come.
He grabbed her and using his speed, he sat up and perched her in his lap, his arms wrapped around her back and his hand placed on the back of her neck to bring her closer; she felt her hand move lower down his body until it reached his erection, she wrapped her hand around him and pulled at him, sliding her fingers up and down on him slowly but with force, he groaned several times on her lips and his lust overcame him the faster she moved.
A sharp breath escaped her lips when he grabbed a hold of her tightly and flashed her back onto the bed flat, his body still pressed against hers as he towered over her delicate frame; she pressed her legs onto his back and pulled him as close as he could be, teasing her entrance against him as she moved her hips in a circular motion. The low growl in his throat enticed her more and every touch sent sparks through her entire body. She couldn't wait any longer, this would solidify there bond forever and there was no turning back from here.
Their hearts raced in sync as he smoothed his arm around her lower back and brought her onto him in one forceful and swift motion, he slid into her and he filled her emptiness perfectly, an outburst of moans filled the room and her nails uncontrollably clawed at his back, he sent her into overdrive as his thrusts became harder and faster, moving in and out of her over and over again.
She pushed her legs into his back and matched his movement, moving her hips up and down on him and in a circular motion, riding him so forcefully and kissing him so passionately, that she thought she would explode; she spun him beneath her again and straddled his waist, she lifted herself up and down on him faster and he was in a frenzy, he held onto her hips and brought her down on his thrust and he fully entered her over and over again.
A loud groan rumbled on the back of his throat and brought her back onto his lap, there connection unbroken as she wrapped her legs around his waist; her hands held onto the back of his neck as she continued to ride him with everything she had, he pumped in and out of her until she was in a frenzy of pleasure.
She broke their kiss for a long moment and pressed her forehead onto his, for a moment they looked at each other, intently gazing at the vulnerability in them and they reached into each others souls, her breathing became more shallow when the intimacy in the moment struck at her heart, she kissed him so gently and delicately and it filled him with love.
She moved her hips slowly in a circular motion and grinding fully on him, it was like every step of her journey had lead her to him, to this moment of surreal perfection and it was life changing; he smothered her neck and chest with forceful kisses and pumped in and her out of her faster and harder and she was sent over the edge, her pleasure erupting within her as she climaxed around him.
He felt her clench and tighten on him, her body tingled and the moans on his lips made him want more, to see her completely satisfied and fulfilled; he used his speed to lay her down on the bed on her side and he entered her from behind, his hand smoothed along the curve in her waist and along her hip until he reached the edge of her butt, his fingers pressed into her skin as he slid inside her and her moans where practically screams at this point.
The tender feel of her most sensitive area on him became wetter the more he grabbed onto her out of urgency and slid himself in and out of her over and over again, his desperation for her increasing when she reached her high on him again; she was in a trance of pleasure and love but she didn't want it to stop, she never wanted him to stop. Within a second, she was back on his lap and she slid herself onto him again and he groaned loudly on her lips.
He was nearing his climax, his whole body was building up and she moved faster, she could feel him tense and grab at her from the pleasure she brought him; she crashed her lips onto his and massaged her tongue against his, her hips moving and grinding harder until he couldn't contain himself any longer, he pumped harder and harder until he spilled out inside her, the sharpness of his moves sent her into her most powerful climax of the night and she tightened around him.
They remained entangled in each other and kissing passionately for a long while, their emotions and feelings seeping into each other completely; he lay her down on the bed and remained beside her, pulling the covers over them and burying themselves within each other until she eventually fell asleep in his arms.
A few hours later, she was awoken from her deep slumber and perfectly content state by a loud banging on her door, a small gasp escaped her lips and she shot up into a sitting position; she looked over to Elijah, who within a few seconds, had sped around her room gathering his clothes and hiding himself in the bathroom.
The banging continued and she growled in disapprovment, "What?"
Klaus swung open her door and stood in the frame, she hadn't expected him to walk in, maybe shout something from the hall or tell her to get up but he didn't, it was still dark and hadn't expected to see him until morning; she quickly pulled the sheet further up on her and gasped slightly, "what the hell are you doing? Get out!"
"The Soul Eaters have returned, Elena, we have to go," her lips parted slightly at his words and a wave of fear washed over her; she nodded her head and he closed the door behind him, Elijah quickly beside her and pulling her into him.
"You don't have to come," he said, in hopes to comfort and reassure her.
"I do," she responded, before placing a soft kiss on his lips and climbing out of bed, she darted to her drawers and pulled out the first pair or jeans and shirt she could find.
Both of them quickly dressed and exited her room, she held his hand for a long moment before he made himself scarce; she joined the others in the living room by herself and she felt the panic and tension in the room.
"Where are we going?" She asked, her heart racing for whole other reasons this time.
"Rousseau's," Klaus said, a hint of regret and sorrow in his voice; she inhaled a sharp breath at his words and now she feared for the lives of her friends.
