His Little Secret - An Elijah Mikaelson Love Story

Chapter 8

Scarlet had decided that although she wanted answers and wanted to push him on their future she needed a more visual approach and decided that dressing up, or down as the case may be wouldn’t hurt the situation. Women were supposed to be able to manipulate men with their feminine whiles and Elijah wouldn’t be an exception to the rule, she had decided that.

Scarlet spent the rest of the day making sure the apartment was spotless then she had a long soak in the bath followed by a total pampering session. She styled her long auburn hair so it looked slightly wavy but shiny as silk; she debated for a while over her nails but decided on a nice red for her nails and even painted her toenail too. She smiled inwardly, he turned her into such a girl, she felt so feminine when she was with him and tonight she was going all out, if this was a war with his wife then she would either win or go down fighting, either way she would show Elijah exactly what he had with her.

Elijah drove towards the apartment; he felt nervous which was a fairly new feeling for him. He couldn’t fathom how people could live their lives happily in deceit like this, it was so hard and he was only trying to protect her, it wasn’t like he was telling dirty great big lies to manipulate her… No that was the sort of thing Klaus would do. He parked the car, took hold of a bottle of wine he had bought and got out of the car locking it afterwards. As he walked towards the lift he looked down at his attire, Elijah had decided to keep his appearance as casual as possible, knowing Scarlet did appreciate a casual, relaxed look. He was wearing a black V-neck long sleeved top, jeans and a smart pair of black boots. In true Elijah style his boots had been polished to within an inch of their lives.   

Scarlet heard the key in the lock of the door and quickly arranged herself so she looked like she had just been relaxing on the sofa, if only he knew she thought to herself. Elijah walked in and turned to close the door without even looking around the room, Scarlet was smirking to herself. When he eventually turned all he could do was stop and stare. On the sofa lay his Scarlet, propped up on her right arm, she gave him a quick glance and smiled then she returned her attention to the television program she was supposed to be interested in.

Elijah couldn’t take it all in to start with, her beautiful auburn hair hung loosely over her shoulders with some coming down as far as her cleavage. Her cleavage, Elijah took in a deep breath at the sight of her firm rounded breasts encased in a negligee he had bought her on one of their shopping trips at the start of their relationship. This was by far his favourite; it displayed all of her assets perfectly, the soft, silky, satin hugged her in all the right places. It was only mid-thigh length which gave a great view of her shapely legs and the nude colour set off her skin tone to perfection. It was trimmed in black lace around the bottom and cups of the bodice with thin shoulder straps.

“You… You…Y…”

Cutting him off Scarlet got to her feet, smoothing the fabric across her thighs and walked towards a very stunned and stuttering Elijah.

“Yes me.”

She whispered as she stood so close Elijah could feel the heat radiating from her body. Scarlet took the wine from him and turned away, walking towards the kitchen ensuring she swayed her hips as she moved.  

Elijah didn’t need his vampire speed he was moving quick enough as it was, he rushed towards Scarlet and wrapped his arms around her waist, he showered her neck and shoulders with kisses, how had he lived all these years without this woman? He couldn’t even imagine it now.

“God Scarlet do you have any idea what you are doing to me?”

Scarlet moved slowly towards the counter top to put the wine bottle down, she turned in his arms kissing him full on the lips, practically devouring him. Elijah could only groan as he tried to keep himself together so he didn’t over power her with his strength. Reluctantly Scarlet pulled back, Elijah’s lips felt bereft when she moved but and he moved in closer once more, his eyes closed. But all he felt was her finger on his lips. Elijah opened his eyes and looked at her quizzically, her green eyes were shining brightly at him and he saw she had a small teasing smile on her face.
