Playing House with the Enemy

Gentlemen

Elena POV

"Wow..." Kol spoke as his brothers came out of their stupor and nodded their agreement, their eyes remaining on my form as though they had never seen a woman before.

It was starting to make me feel uncomfortable as they scrutinised my body with their eyes, however I would not dare to voice my discomfort. I looked down at the floor hoping it would just open up and swallow me whole. I heard a throat clear from above me that gained my and the boys' attention.

There on the staircase stood Rebekah with an amused smile on her face, "Well are you four going to keep gawking at the poor girl or are you going to help her with her bags," she raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow questioningly a her brothers below her.

"Of course. Elena please allow me to take care of your bags," Elijah stepped forward, always the gentleman. He plucked the bags from my hands gently before he was pushed out of my line of sight.

"Move Elijah! Give us a chance to be the gentlemen for once!" Klaus smiled at me, doing his best to be charming.

Kol scoffed from his place behind us, "Nik you are anything but a gentleman!" He laughed.

"Shut it Kol!" Klaus shouted behind him, a grin still in place on his face, "So Love are there anymore bags in the car?"

I nodded, "Yes, there are a few in the trunk and on the backseat."

He nodded and made his way past me to get to the car in the drive as Elijah took the bags that he had previously taken from me up to my room. Kol glared in the direction Klaus had just went, clearly annoyed at his elder half-brother for being so rude to him. While Finn just remained silent.

Suddenly Kol flashed in front of me causing me to gasp and stumble backwards in surprise, however Kol's arm went around my waist, preventing me from falling or moving from my place in his arms against his chest.

"Fucking stupid shoes," He cursed under his breath looking at my shoes causing me to giggle, his head snapped up and a rare genuine smile grew on his face, "Careful Darling, Goddesses aren't meant to be on the floor," his eyes ran across my body, licking his lips as he gave a particularly hard squeeze to my captured waist. I blushed and looked down, concealing my red face with my hair.

"Kol let the girl go, I'm sure she wishes to change into something more...comfortable for tonights events," Finn finally spoke from his new place right behind his brother, his hand on Kol's shoulder which Kol quickly shrugged off before releasing me.

Rebekah scoffed from above us, "Stop being so barbaric. I swear every time you men see a pretty girl you can't keep your hands or eyes off her," She rolled her eyes. "Come on Elena let's go get changed." While she had been speaking she had been descending the stairs and now she was pulling me away from her brothers and back up the stairs. "Klaus put those bags in my room would you? Elena and I don't want to be disturbed!" Klaus growled in response causing us to giggle.

We passed Elijah in the hallway, he looked embarrassed and taken back. I offered him a smile which he returned as his eyes looked darker...lustful. I was puzzled, why would Elijah be embarrassed? Or even lustful only when his eyes met mine?

Realisation hit me as Rebekah pulled me into my room. There on my bed, splayed was the lingerie I had bought earlier today. It's not like I needed it, no one would see me in it, which disappointed me slightly, but Rebekah had made a pretty good case...

...

Rebekah dragged me into Victoria's Secret as I shook my head in disapproval.
