There was a vibration beneath the skin, a dull and ancient echo capable of tightening the air between them. Not magic in the common sense, but an invisible weave, millenary threads pulling from both sides and forcing two existences toward the same breaking point. Emberlyn stepped back by a single millimeter, lips pressed tight. Elijah closed the distance with the glacial composure carried for a millennium, raising a hand to rest against her cheekbone. "I cannot do this," she said, meeting his eyes to hide the tremor in her hands. "I cannot allow a connection to upend my life. I will not be the reflection of a design I didn't write myself." Elijah's thumb caressed her cheek, his obsidian gaze stripping away every shield. "Tell me, Emberlyn, are you truly convinced it is merely the echo of an ancestral bond? Are you so certain this is an enforced tie between soulmates... or are you choosing me willingly?" She felt her throat tighten, terrified by the absolute freedom with which she wished to prove him right. [ TVD: S1-S6 ]

Amora blinked. "What?" Kol didn't answer. His eyes had darkened - not dangerously, but hungrily - and his jaw flexed in a way she had never seen first thing in the morning. "Darling," he said slowly, voice dropping, "you really shouldn't do things like that without a warning." "Do what?" she asked, genuinely confused. Kol leaned forward, his fingers brushing the edge of her sweater collar. "This." Before she could say anything else, he cupped her jaw gently and kissed her - hard. ____________________ Amora Reilly thought she knew Mystic Falls. The supernatural? Old news.
