This is Us [ Elijah Mikaelson ] 2

forty-eight

"Good morning," Penelope smiled as she leaned against the door frame, leading into the kitchen. Her eyes ran down Elijah's body, he was shirtless and a pair of loose fitting, thin, pajama pants hung low on his hips. She could see the curve of his butt, and she tilted her head to get a better look.

"Good morning," He responded, turning to look at her, an as his eyes ran down her body, that was only covered with a sheer, light blue laced robe that was loosely tied in the middle. She could see his cock hardening in his pants and she smiled at him as she walked closer.

"That smells delicious," She smiled, wrapping her arms around him from behind and pressing her lips against his back. "What is it?"

"Apple cinnamon french toast, with scrambled eggs and bacon," He answered and her smile grew.

"I'm starting to wonder if you already know my cravings before I do," She teased and he laughed as he moved the bacon over to the plate to cool down.

"You mentioned last night you haven't had french toast in a while, and you ate three apples yesterday so I figured I'd surprise you with apple cinnamon french toast."

"Such a thoughtful husband," She whispered as her fingers ran along the skin below the waist band of his pants. He sucked in a breath and she felt his muscles tense and relax under her touch.

"I try," He looked over his shoulder and smiled at her. "Come here," He lifted an arm and she smiled, ducking under and wrapped an arm around his middle and leaned into his side. He kissed the side of her head and rubbed her shoulder softly as he picked up a few more pieces of bacon with the tongs and put them into the frying. "I was thinking," He started again after a few minutes. "Of us venturing out into town today," He suggested.

"Okay," Penelope nodded, smiling up at him. He looked surprised that he didn't have to convince her more.

"Okay?" He asked.

"Yeah," She laughed and brought his hand around her to kiss his palm. "As much as I've enjoyed the last four days of being in this beautiful cabin with you, naked, and the amazing sex," He laughed as he flipped the bacon. "I knew you planned for us to do more than relax, be naked and have sex for two weeks straight."

"Honestly, I don't have really much planned," He admitted and she raised an eyebrow at him. "I did mostly plan for us to relax here, preferably naked, but," He shook his head. "No major plans. I thought we'd go down and explore the town. There's one place I'd like to go see but, that's it."

"Okay," She smiled at him. "When do you want to go?"

"After breakfast?" He suggested.

"First or second breakfast?" She asked, and there was that suggestive glean in her eyes and he leaned down and nuzzled her nose against hers.

"First," He whispered. "I'll just have two desserts," He smirked and she laughed then brought him down for his good morning kiss. "Go get dressed while I finish breakfast, alright?" He said and she nodded then gave him one more kiss before pulling away. Elijah watched her as she walked away, watching how the sheer lace fabric swayed around her naked body.

"Stop looking at my butt, husband!" Penelope exclaimed and he laughed.

"I could say the same to you, wife!" There was a scoff, then followed by a quiet giggle as she began making her way up the stairs.

"This place is beautiful," Penelope whispered as she looked at the beautiful green, reds and golds of the trees as Elijah navigated to the parking lot. "Please tell me this isn't like the Louvre where you have your own private quarters," She looked to him and he laughed, shaking his head.
