The Morning After

I woke up early in the morning, locked in Kol's arms. My head felt like it was going to explode and I had a horrible churning feeling in my stomach. The light was shining through the gap in my curtains and I groaned, turning in Kol's arms to hide my head into his chest, earning a grunt from him as he tightened his arms around me and nuzzled his head into my neck, taking a deep breath. I stilled slightly at this motion, remembering that he'd bitten me last night. However this didn't last long as his tongue licked along the bite, causing me to moan. I wondered how I was going to hide it from my friends, they'd ask too many questions if they saw it. I felt one of Kol's hands move down to my backside as he kissed my neck and collarbone. Why was he so good at this? Because he's had 1000 years of experience. It was clear he was a fuckboy but all this was, was a one off, a one night stand. One that definitely wouldn't be repeated. I felt Kol's dick harden against my aching centre. He'd really done a number on me last night.

I groaned, "Kol..." I warned and he hummed in reply. I reluctantly tried to pull away from his iron tight grip on me but he wouldn't allow that to happen as he kept placing open mouthed kisses along my neck causing me to moan. "Kol I need a shower," I moaned as I tried to pull away again and to my surprise he let me this time. I sat up and swung my legs off the bed, instantly regretting the speed of my movements as I groaned and held my head. How much did I have to drink last night?

I heard Kol chuckle from beside me and turned to glare at him which just served to fuel his amusement, "Can I join?" He asked with an innocent pout on his face and puppy dog eyes, I rolled my eyes, who could say no to that?

"Fine," I said eventually and he grinned and jumped up off the bed, I stared at him in disbelief, why wasn't he experiencing a hangover? Stupid vampires! I looked over his body as he boldy stood by my bed, he clearly had no shame and he definitely didn't need any. The man looked like a Greek God and by the shit-eating on his face, he knew it.

"Darling I know I'm gorgeous but you really don't have to stare," he said playfully, causing me to roll my eyes, he pulled on his boxers and threw me his shirt from last night. It hit me in the head and I pulled it on and slowly rose onto my feet, attempting to ignore the pain in my head and neck. I suddenly felt dizzy and had to lean onto my bedside table. Then Kol was in front of me, holding onto my waist, concern etched onto his face, "Are you alright Elena?"

I shook my head, "I'm just so dizzy," I said while moving to sit down, suddenly Kol was gone, then he was back in front of me, kneeling in between my legs, with a glass of water and some Aspirin. I smiled gratefully at him and accepted them gratefully, throwing the Aspirin into my mouth and quickly chugging down the water. We stayed like that for a while as Kol stared at me still concerned.

"Better?" He asked finally smiling slightly, I nodded and then shrieked as he picked me up and walked me into the bathroom. He sat me down on the counter and turned on the shower. He stripped off is boxers and pulled his shirt over my head, before picking me back up again and setting me on my feet in the shower, then joining me himself. I giggled slightly, he looked so childish in this moment. He put some body wash onto his hands and began washing my body and I did the same to him. He then proceeded to wash my hair and I loved the way he ran his fingers through my tresses. Once the water went cold we both stepped out. We dried ourselves and I pulled on his top again.

"Some of Jeremy's clothes should fit you," he nodded and walked into Jeremy's room, I knew he was staying at Tyler's tonight, with his towel wrapped around his waist. I brushed my teeth, not wanting Kol to have to bear my morning breath more than he had to. I walked back to my room and threw my wet hair into a messy bun, deciding to let it air dry for once. I went downstairs and into my kitchen, finding Alaric with his head resting on the counter of the island, passed out, and an empty bottle of bourbon beside him. He must have been drinking again. I discarded of the bottle into the recycling box, the clash causing Ric to wake up. He groaned and I poured him a glass of water and Aspirin, the same way Kol had done to me.
