FLASHBACK
1225

Four months had passed since Mallory had found out about Kol in the worst way possible. Since then, they had made up and Kol had explained to Mallory what it was like to be a vampire. One month after making up, Kol was forced to leave with his three siblings for a short while and now, he was finally back.

Mallory stood near the castle gates, a smile on her face when she saw Kol arrive. Once he stepped out of the carriage, Mallory ran over to him, embracing him, "You came back to me. I thought you were gone." She told him quietly, a smile on her face.

"Three months is not a long time, love," He reminded her, not realizing that time went by different for someone like him. He was immortal, he didn't age. Mallory was not, she was human. He wondered, what would happen if he were to change that?

Without anyone seeing, Kol and Mallory snuck back to Mallory's room. Once entering, Kol closed the bedroom door by pushing Mallory's back against it.

Mallory, not caring for the consequences, began to help Kol take off his clothes. Kol frowned in confusion, realizing what she was doing, "What are you doing?" He questioned her concerned, "I thought you said we couldn't. You said you were saving--" Before he could finish his sentence, Mallory cut him off with a passionate kiss.

"I don't care about any of that anymore," She responded quietly, staring intently into Kol's dark brown eyes, "You have changed how I see myself in ten years. As of this moment, I have no clue what is in store for me in the future. What I do know is..." She trailed off, becoming even quieter, "I want you. All of you."

Kol couldn't help but smile at Mallory as she continued to assist him in taking off his clothes. Once he had on nothing but pants, Kol turned Mallory's body around that her back was pressed against his bare chest. He lightly grabbed Mallory's jaw, tilting her head to the side so that he had access to her neck. He leaned his head down, placing kisses down her neck until he couldn't go any further because of her dress.

He unbuttoned the front part of her dress, pulling it off of her, leaving her in just a corset. He kissed her shoulder a few times, causing Mallory to let out a shaky breath, not even realizing that Kol was having a bit of a struggle keeping in control. The veins began to appear under his eyes and his fangs grew. Thankfully, Mallory's back was facing him so she couldn't see his face. He took a deep breath before moving away from her neck. He knelt on the ground in back of her, beginning to untie her corset strings.

"I thought about you every night while I forced to be away from you," Kol confessed in a voice just above a whisper.

Once he finished untieing the strings, he slowly started to stand back up. He placed a kiss just above her corset before trailing kisses up her back until he stopped at her neck. Mallory turned her head to the side, their lips brushing against each other, but not touching fully just yet, "I thought I'd never get to tell you those three words. The words I haven't able to say to you."

Their lips brief touched before Mallory finally turned to face him. Once they were facing each other, Kol placed one of his hands on the side of her face, both of them staring intently into each other's eyes, "I love you." He confessed to her in a voice just above a whisper.

Mallory smiled slightly, "I love you, too, Kol Mikaelson." She whispered to him softly.

Kol smiled back at her, leading Mallory to her bed. Once they were right in front of her bed, Kol lifted Mallory up, gently setting her down on the bed before he hovered over her, their lips connecting once more.
