Wild Child - A Kol Mikaelson Story

Chapter 21

"So where exactly are we going?", I questioned. Kol drove quickly, and without much regard for others. I sometimes wondered if he forgot I was not invincible like his family. I flinched as he sped past a bicyclist, narrowly missing them.

"Relax darling", he said with humor in his voice, "we are talking a small road trip to a little town in New Jersey. Elijah has some witch friends we can talk to about this soul binding thing. I am a fine driver love... You don't need to hold on to the seat like that".

Sir, we have been driving for two hours and you've already compelled your way out of two speeding tickets..

"I think you forget that I am easily killable", I protested.

He slowed down a bit, and turned to give me a smirk. His thick accent rolled off his tongue, "I wouldn't worry to much darling, you drank a good bit of my blood this morning. Even if my driving does kill you, you'll wake up to your loving boyfriend and bags of blood in a few hours". He gave me a little wink.

I gave him an eye roll.
Sense our talk about me becoming a vampire, Kol had hinted around about how I should. He appeared to be growing more anxious by the day about the thought of me dying. He had increased his feedings on me, so that guaranteed I had to drink more of his blood. He still insisted it was my choice, but I could see on his face he thought I wouldn't make the right one.

I leaned over and put my hand on his leg, giving him a little squeeze, trying to silently reassure him that him and I were on the same page.
He took one hand off the steering wheel and placed it on top of mine, also giving a little squeeze. One of the many things I liked about our relationship was that we didn't always have to speak to understand each other. We had a way of knowing what each other's concern was.

He decided to break the silence. "Honestly love, I like driving fast. Gives me a bit of an adrenaline rush. They are hard to come by now that I've been alive so long".

"All vampires drive like you do", I joked, "well except for Caroline. She drove like a turtle before she turned and after. I'll probably drive like Nascar is my day job".

He gave me an "mhm" before he returned to his usual driving speed. He seemed more anxious than usual. I wondered if he worried about the information we would find out.
Part of me worried they'd tell us we only loved each other because his soul was bound to me. I knew that couldn't possibly be it though, and even if it was I didn't overly care. I loved him, and nothing they could have told me would change that. But still, I could tell by his resting face that his brain was moving a million thoughts a minuet. I knew he was scared of losing me.

I looked at our surroundings and noted we were in a wooded area. Trees everywhere, and not many cars on the road. I saw a sign saying "access to campsite" a few miles down.

"Pull over Kol, up there", I said sternly. He turned and gave me a puzzled look, but did as I said. We pulled into a little secluded camping area.

No one else around, sweet.

He turned off the engine, still looking confused. "Get in the backseat", I demanded. He did as he was told, although he looked at me like I had now lost my mind.
Once he settled in the back I joined him, before he could ask I through my leg over him and pulled myself to a position where I could straddle him. My lips meeting his neck immediately. He let out a moan of pleasure before I worked my way up his neck. I gave his ear lobe a little nibble. Just enough to lightly tease him.
He let his hands roam around my back. I pulled away from his neck.
"You Kol Mikaelson, need to relax", I whispered in my best seductive voice. "There is nothing a witch can say about us that will change my feelings, and if a soul bind forces us to be together then so be it. It would happen regardless".
