Aphrodisiac ✔️(mikaelson soulmate)

Chapter VIII: Confidence

Niklaus had left me with a kiss goodnight. I had apparently stayed out literally all day as Kol had previously complained about. I was thankful that Rebekah took me to dinner before we came home. But now I was here in my bed. I had decided on sleeping a bit freely, in only my undergarments. I have a sneaking suspicion that Kol turned the heat up on the thermostat, so now I was laying across my bed as close to naked as I would get.

My mind was flooding with thoughts of what had almost happened. I had told Niklaus to bite me. I begged him- pleaded for him to mark me as his. If he had...would we had kept going? Would I have given myself to him so early in knowing him? Hell, I didn't even know him other than what I had already been told by others.

A Hybrid. Half Vampire and Half Werewolf. They all have killed so many people, some innocent, some not so much. And yet- here I was. Willingly came to their home to live with them. Purposively, teased them in the day and a half I have been here. Allowed one of them to kiss me- oh, my god.. We almost had sex.

My body was heated at the idea. My thighs pressed together in need of release. But I refused to give in. Was I even strong enough to refuse them? At this very moment all I could think about was one of them coming into my room and seeing me in my underwear. Like being wrapped as a present for them to sink their teeth into.

My hand slid down my bare stomach, tracing where my underwear met my skin. Thoughts of one of my mates admiring my body. Exploring me with their hands.

I sat up abruptly. My breath was nearly coming out in pants. I adjusted myself, trying to relieve the pressure. I needed some kind of release. It's not like I'm a virgin. It's not like I'm throwing myself at a stranger. No. This is normal. The urge to pounce on your mate. To complete the bond that is coiling up inside of you. To feel it snap into place.

I stood up, grabbing my robe that Rebekah had bought for me. It was more of a silk kimono. I loved it. Bright pinks and oranges. It made me think of the sunset. A glorious moment that happens nearly everyday. Walking to my door, I stayed on my tiptoes. Peering out into the hallway and listening for any kind of sound or movement. Their vampires. I'm sure if I leave my room in this condition they will all know. Can they smell arousal? Oh, god. What if they can?? I'm screwed.

I step out into the hallway, glancing around at all of the doors. I had no idea who's door was who's. In the morning I vowed to make name tags for the doors. Make it easier to pick who I'm going to. But for now- it's completely chance. I knew who I was trying for. Not as a favorite, of course. But because the pull- the urge to finish what was started. I closed my eyes, trying to let the urge pull me in the right direction. I sound totally bonkers right now. Letting some magical force pull me to the right soulmate. Is this even how it works?

My eyes opened to lay on one door in particular. Letting my feet tiptoe towards it before knocking lightly on the wooden finish. I could hear movement inside. Maybe they were sleeping? Oh, god.. I probably just woke him up. What was I even doing?

"Vee?" I snapped my eyes up to see Niklaus standing in the doorway. His chest bare and a pair of joggers hanging on for dear life. My mouth went completely dry as I followed the V to his hemline. "Love?" I cleared my throat as I looked back up at him. My body was in a total frenzy right now. I lifted my hand up, pushing him on his chest so I could enter the room with him, before closing the door behind us. "Octavia...what are you doing?" Nik asked in a wary tone. His eyes were looking at my legs, trailing up to the robe. Probably undressing me with his eyes.

"I'm taking control." I told him plainly. I let the robe fall from my shoulders before it pooled at my feet. The black lace of my undergarments barely stopping the breeze from hitting my skin and causing my nipples to erect. Nik glanced down as I watched him visibly swallow. I had caught him off guard. I knew that. But I couldn't completely control myself right now. I needed relief. I knew he did as well when my eyes caught sight of his harden length under his joggers, trying to pitch a tent it seemed.
