Groaning slightly, I opened my eyes sluggishly before closing them instantly as sunlight assaulted my eyes. I stiffened as I felt something tighten around my waist before lifting the blanket slowly off of my body. Furrowing my eyebrows, I looked down at the arm that was wrapped around my bare skin before it all came back to me.
Compelling Nana to forget about me, leaving Mystic Falls and Kol.
Relaxing back against him, I felt him soften and pull me back against him. Nuzzling his head into the back of my head, I felt him press a small kiss to my skin.
"Good morning, darling," he muttered quietly, his arm turning me onto my side to face him as I tucked the blanket under my arms. Brushing some of my hair out of my eye, he raised himself onto one arm and peered down at me. "Did I hurt you?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked, gazing up at him with eyes that were still half lidded with sleep.
"I'm a vampire," he explained quietly, running a hand through my hair. "We can get kind of...rough."
Understanding dawned on me and my eyebrows rose as I hurried to soothe his worry. "No, no you didn't hurt me Kol." His gaze remained steady and I could still see the concern in his eyes. "I promise."
He sighed as his hand moved down and out of my hair, now tracing the nape of my neck with a single finger. Looking at his finger, he avoided my gaze. "But it was your first-"
"Honestly," I muttered, rising onto one arm as I mirrored his position. "That was it. A girl's first time hurts slightly at first and that was it, alright?"
He looked up and met my eyes suddenly, his eyes sparkling with mischief. I almost smiled in relief as I saw the glimpse of the old Kol but I smothered it quickly. "Why don't I do something about that?"
"What?" I asked apprehensively as he moved closer.
"This." Pulling himself over me quickly, he pushed me down fully onto the bed with his body hovering over mine as he braced himself on his arms. Leaning down to trace the curve of my neck with his lips, he murmured against me, "Now why don't I help you forget about that pain?"
The door opened quickly as Elijah walked into the room. "Julietta have you seen- oh."
He cleared his throat uncomfortably as I gave a squeak and pushed Kol away from me. Pulling the blanket over my head, I closed my eyes as my cheeks stained red and I heard Kol groan in annoyance.
"What do you want brother?" Kol asked as I felt the mattress dip and guessed that he had pulled himself out of the bed.
"I had news from Stefan," He answered and I risked a peek to see him staring at the door in avid fascination. "Julietta's grandma has reached London safely." Clearing his throat again, he turned to leave the room before muttering a quiet, "I'll let you get back to what you were doing."
Groaning quietly, I leaned back against my pillow with my head still cocooned in the blanket. Silence echoed around the room before the clanked was ripped off of my head and I was greeted with Kol's smirking face.
