GISELLE'S POV:
"That was truly impressive, love." I stumbled away from the piano at the sudden sound of his voice. He was supposed to be out till late tonight with Olivia and Father, which is why I dared to sneak in to play the piano for a bit while I tidied his chamber. I was actually expecting hostility but instead, he walked in at a leisurely pace, cocking his head to the side. He was clearly reading my reaction, with those captivating eyes of his.
"I apologise for trespassing, Nik. Thi- This is the only room with the grand, so- I'm very sorry-"
"That's alright, love. Don't apologise anymore, please. It's killing my heart."
He softly grabbed my wrist and placed my palm flat on the left side of his chest. My body instantly froze at his sudden gesture but the handsome man only inched nearer, gazing into my eyes. I realized how he possessed the most captivating pair of azure eyes I've ever seen and they were alluring me more, every single time.
His broad chest felt very solid and warm and although I was only touching the fabric of his shirt, the thudding of his heart was quite obvious under my shuddering palm. I also noticed how its pace increased with every step he took closer to me. Mirroring my own.
"Well... I see it's still beating- your heart..." I babbled like the idiot I am but he smiled rather pleasantly.
"Yes, it does. Rather wildly under your touch, my angel." He winked sweetly before releasing my hand as he sat in front of the piano.
"Come here." His breathy voice echoed in the room as he held his hand out and it was irresistibly inviting. Taking his hand like a spellbound child, I sat beside him silently.
"I see you're quite skilled at this. Why aren't you practising often, love?" He spun a little to my side and sat facing me.
"I used to but now that you're here... I can't simply invade to play the piano, can I?"
"Well... since it's technically your piano and your house too, you have all the rights to invade this room, love." He sounded very sincere.
"It's the guest chamber, Nik. So, it's yours now." I shrugged.
"Then... allow me to rephrase it, love. You have all the rights to invade MY room too-" His sincere smile instantly switched into a mischievous one as he winked playfully, "-Anytime." I could only shake my head in disbelief as his eyes sparkled impishly.
"So... tell me, Mr Mikaelson. Do you fancy music?" He laughed at my amusing attempt at imitating his accent.
"My music has had the most romantic reputation of luring women like a magical magnet, Miss Strega. I'm a great player, you see." His shameless flirting stunned me. "I meant for the piano, just to be clear." He winked again while smirking playfully as I pursed my lips and pretended to be thinking.
"Is that so? Why don't you show me some of your magic then, Mr Mikaelson? Who knows I might be immune to your romantic graces." I replied in a similarly flirty tone but his smirk vanished right away. Without another word, he leaned closer and reached for my face, causing my teenage system to freeze. He brushed the stray strand of hair on my forehead and tenderly tucked it behind my now flushed ear.
"I would love to, angel." Softly, he whispered every single word in his breathy voice again. This time, my cheeks were starting to flush as well.
