Edge Of Desire // Kol Mikaelson x OC x Elijah Mikaelson | COMPLETE

four.*

"Twinkle, I'd like you to meet my asshole brother, Elijah Mikaelson."

Kol's words splashed over me like ice water, and my hand slipped out of his grasp.

"Your brother." Now that they were beside one another, the resemblance was obvious.

Elijah's eyes flicked over to Kol in annoyance before meeting mine, his hand running over his mouth absentmindedly. There was a heaviness present in my chest that I hadn't anticipated.

"Elijah Mikaelson," he said, sticking out his hand.

"Serena Huntingdon," I murmured, my cheeks flaming.

God, he was handsome.

"It's a pleasure, Serena." He took my hand in his and kissed it gently, causing the butterflies I'd felt earlier at the market to stir. "I was hoping I would get a chance to meet the woman who had stolen my brother's heart."

Elijah's good looks, coupled with his charm, had me rattled. When our eyes met, I saw the heat swirling around my chest reflected back in his stare.

He's Kol's brother. And he was clearly attached to the beautiful brunette from the market.

I pulled my hand back from his grasp, as Elijah and Kol both watched me closely.

"Uh.. listen, you guys obviously have some catching up to do. Kol, text me later if you want to come up and finish the movie?" I quickly pressed a kiss to his stubble-covered cheek, before moving towards the stairwell.

I could feel Elijah's heated gaze burning into my skin, but selfishly hoped Kol wouldn't notice.

"Wait." Kol pulled me roughly to his chest, catching me by surprise as he captured my mouth with his.

His lips were soft yet demanding, pressing hungrily to mine as his fingers tangled in my long dark hair. Elijah's existence was all but forgotten as waves of desire washed over me, each kiss dragging me further out to sea.

Kol pulled back without warning, leaving me open-mouthed, breathless and aroused. The pulsing between my thighs was so intense that I was surprised I was still upright.

The clearing of a throat shook me from my cloud of desire.

"It was nice meeting you, Serena," Elijah said.

I met his eyes for a moment and nodded, before turning around and heading up the stairs with a pounding heart.

As I stepped inside apartment, my phone pinged with a new text message.

Spending the night with Ty. See you in the morning. - C

I realized that Kol and I could have been alone together all this time, nestled snugly in the comfort of my own bed.

A happy smile spread across my face when I imagined us entwined in a sated heap, Kol softly kissing the top of my head as we drifted off to sleep.

Wait. What was wrong with me?

This was just sex.
Pure carnal attraction.
Nothing more.

I shook my head, refilling my wine glass before grabbing my phone to text Kol.

Caroline's sleeping at Tyler's. Send that douchebag on his way and come play with me. - xxx

My phone rang immediately.

Someone's eager, I thought.

But instead of Kol's picture popping up on the screen, it was my grandmother's sweet smile.
