I Feel You - Elijah Mikaelson -

The Touch of an Angel, the Thought of a Devil

„She was the gift of a British salesman..It's a pity that she's sometimes that...rebellious."

He grabbed her frail chin roughly.

„This little bird gets wings from time to time and just wants to fly away, you know? Even though she has everything here that someone can desire...she lives in a high tower with its windows facing the deep ocean because of that."

Niklaus saw how Elijah tensed. He new the look he gave this girl. All the women he eyed like that were dead.

Thank god, he hated it when his brother became a lovesick fool.

She was pretty without question. But Niklaus instantly knew that he didn't like her. Quite too defiant for his taste. And a whore.

He became bored by the time. He would rather have some fun with the other beauties right now.

„Let's not just talk about women. You must be exhausted. Selma and Cassie will show you your rooms."

The tall and breathtaking curvy Selma joined Niklaus.

The brothers were already out of the room when the king grabbed Cassie's arm and whispered in her ear.

„You will make Lord Elijah very happy tonight. And with that I mean that you will satisfy him in every way he wants. If not, you will fly out of your tower, little bird."

...

„My Lord, this is your room...your belongings are already in their place. We got you hot water for a bath."

Elijah noticed that her voice was shaking. Was she afraid?

He moved slowly so he wouldn't scare her while he looked around. He strolled into the huge bathroom with a tub filled with steaming hot water. Exactly what he needed right now.

Cassie hadn't moved a bit. She suddenly ended numbness when his questioning gaze hit her.

Nervously she grabbed a pile of towels and placed it on a stool.

The young woman politely turned around when Elijah started to unbutton his shirt. But he didn't let her out of his sight. His gaze wandered down her back and her slim legs.

Completely naked he entered the tub and sighted released. He heard how Cassie stepped behind him.

„My Lord, I will wash you now."

He liked her voice, it was lovely.

She dived the washcloth into the water and began with his shoulders. Her other hand lightly massaged his tensed muscles.

Her hands were small and so unbelievable tender. He almost got lost in the feeling.

And he felt his growing hunger.

When she bended forward to wash his chest the tips of her breasts touched his hair. Her neck was so close, he could see her blood pulsating through her carotid when he turned his head a bit.

Her hands slipped deeper and he grabbed her wrist.

„I take it from here."

„My Lord, but..."

„Did you master told you to sleep with me tonight?"

She hesitated but nodded ashamed.

„You can go now, I don't have any intentions to do that."

Cassie stepped back but stayed in the bathroom.

„Honestly, you can go. I won't tell him."

He heard her take a deep breath as for taking all of her courage.

„My master will know that I'll leave your room quite too early to...you know. There are spies all over the palace."

Elijah sighed.

„Well, you can stay a while. Just wait in the bedroom."

...

„So your king is not treating you well."

Elijah entered the chamber in fresh sleeping clothing.

But now the young lady was quiet after her sudden flow of words.

She was sitting on the floor and couldn't even face him.

„I think silence is also quite nice. I will sleep now, I'm exhausted...but please, just sit on the bed, it holds space for us both."

After some seconds of silent discussion she followed his wish and he lied down on the soft bed. It took seconds for him to fall asleep.

At this time he didn't know that the woman who kept him company won't steal herself out after some hours. She grew drowsy and fell asleep next to the man who unknowingly saved her live for the first time.
