He kept my legs pinned to the bed with his large hands, easily keeping me restrained with his vampire strength as I thrashed in his hold.
"One more time for me, baby," he urged as he slowed his tongue, now licking me at a leisurely pace. Every inch...

"Hello, darling." he smiles up at me, blood coating his white teeth. I'm guessing Andrei and Steve enjoyed themselves. "Quite the parlor trick you pulled back there, really had me convinced." he laughs humorlessly. I raise a single brow at him in response.
"Did you really think I'd go anywhere with you willingly?" I question bitterly, a frown slowly replacing the neutral expression I sported only moments ago. He seemed taken back at my question which only made me scoff.
Of course he did. Why am I not surprised?
"Do you not remember what you did, Kol?" I spat, rage building quickly inside me as I stare down at the man who ruined me. "Do you have any idea how long it took for me to be okay?" I add when he makes no move to respond. "How long it took for me to stop flinching whenever someone made any sudden movements? How long it took for me to smile again?" my jaw clenched with a blinding fury as a thin layer of tears coated my eyes, but I refused to let them fall.
"Cleo... I-"
"No!" I snap, venom dripping from my tone. "You think that after everything you did to me... after everything you put me through..." I trail off, circling his hunched frame like a lion stalking it's prey. "That I'd run back into your arms? Willingly?" I scoff, stopping my footsteps behind him and bringing my lips to his ear. "I'd rather die." I whisper lowly.
Kol swallows harshly when I pull away and return to my spot in front of him. He reluctantly meets my gaze, an unknown emotion swirling in his eyes.
If I didn't know any better, I'd actually think he was remorseful for what he did. But I do know better. I've been here before, done this before.
"Why do you want me so bad?" I finally ask, more out of curiosity than anything else. "Here we are, more than a year later, and you're back. Why?" I add for clarification.
"I missed you." he says as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I've thought about us everyday. What we could have been."
James scoffs from behind me and takes a single step forward, his long stride bringing him right to my side. "You tried to kill her." he says, his voice eerily calm. "Twice."
Kol's eyes flick to James and he smiles viciously. "I tried to turn her. So we can be together." he says simply, no trace of repentance for his actions in his tone. "Forever." he finishes, his cold, dead eyes snapping to mine again.
James's body visibly tenses and he takes another step forward before squatting down to his level, his cerulean orbs pierce through Kol's as the next words fall from his lips. "I'll kill you."
