"Hey, hi," moving quickly towards the nearest body, which happened to be Gia, Aurora smiles, holding up a hand to silently ask her to stop walking. "Can you look at my ass for a second, please?" Snorting out a laugh, she quickly follows it with saying, "I think I sat in a spilt drink or something and I just want to make sure it doesn't look like I've wet myself." Laughing now, she shrugs and turns around, all whilst keeping her eyes on the girl. Did she look familiar? It certainly felt like it. "Anything visible?"

"I made it," she huffed out a breath, shoving through the last of the bodies to reach Gia. "I would have been quicker if some Neanderthal hadn't crashed into me and made me drop our drinks." Frowning as she hands Gia's over to her. "Don't worry, I made him cough up and pay for a new round, not that he didn't try to protest." Breaking into a grin, she glances around, pointing out the man in the crowd easily. "Him." The one that towered over everyone else and was built like a brick house, all muscles and veins. "I told him I was a tiny, little, fragile woman and if he didn't replace what he spilt I'd cause a scene with tears and wails. Of course I wouldn't have, I'd have sooner kicked him in the crotch, but he didn't know that."

I really can't stay, Baby, it's cold outside, I've got to go away, Baby, it's cold outside.

UP TO SNOW GOOD - WINTER WONDERLAND DROP

It wouldn't be Lunar Cove around the Holidays without snow. Only this year, the snow seemed to be coming down harder than ever before. The local weather station has reported a nor'easter to be rolling in and, with this snow storm advisory, authorities have advised all Lunar Covians to stay inside. It's a great time to have that Snow Ball fight scheduled down on the beach, but also be aware, whenever you decide to spend your evening is where you'll be buckling down for the night as the storm is only looking to grow worse and worse.

REMINDERS

This is a pairings plot drop! As part of our character building event, we want to encourage you all to reach out and write with some characters who might not have interacted with yours yet.

You have until end of January to start your pairing thread as we know some of you may be away for the holidays. Your characters can find themselves trapped together in the blizzard or if you're in the mood to write something non-snow related you're welcome to. We just ask that you branch out and plot with charries you might not have had the chance to yet.

If you're having trouble getting a hold of your pairing partner though, please feel free to reach out via the main. We know this is a busy time for everyone, so if your partner is away on Holiday we can let you know when they might be coming back or assign you to someone else.

Also, if you are loving this snow themed plot drop as much as we are, you are welcome to write a thread with your character trapped in the blizzard with any character you'd like. You don't have to limit yourself to only your pairing thread if you want to write more threads with your characters during their snow day.

Last by not least, we hope you have fun!

THOUGHT STARTERS

Here are some ideas to get you started-

Muse A is getting ready to head home from x location, but finds themselves trapped in the location. Unfortunately or fortunately for them Muse B is also trapped there.

Muse A can’t get their heater to work and it’s freezing in their apartment so they go and knock on Muse B’s door for a blanket.

Muse A was getting ready to head home from x location when they realize that their coat was stolen by Muse B.

Muse A thought that the people on the news were lying so they didn’t prepare with a warm enough coat, now they’re recruiting Muse B for help.

During the blackout Muse A dropped their keys and now Muse B must help the other find them in the mountains of snow.

Muse A walked outside to find out what all the chaos going on when they got locked out now muse B must help them get back in before too much snows falls and freezes them to death.

Muse A is handing out blankets to the towns people who are passing by and Muse B decides to help.

Muse A was leaving their house only to be crushed by a falling pile of snow. Now muse B is trying to get them out.

SHIPPING INFO // ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE(S) SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER(S)?

difficult to answer. definitely simara (silas+amara). not the only ships i ship, of course, but especially simara gave me life.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

since most are vampires or incredible old witches, it's again difficult to answer that. their physical age should match and they should be legal.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?

when primary sexual organs or body liquids (apart from blood) are described/mentioned.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

i'm not really selective but i need chemistry in order for the magic to happen. just because i ship x with y in the show doesn't have to mean i ship my x with your y. same goes if i ship my x with a's y but it can happen that i don't ship my x with b's y. it also doesn't have to stick to canon shipping, i shipped the most unusual pairings just because there was chemistry.^^

WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?

amara/silas (as already mentioned), gia/elijah (they had potential), nadia/rebekah and nadia/matt, sarah/enzo (don't look at me) and sarah/matt, tatia/elijah. i never shipped with diana or natalia so i don't know what they are looking for.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

kinda. i need chemistry in order to ship so we need to be either already writing or start plotting.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?

i almost have no shipping threads so it really depends on the chemistry.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?

yes

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?

good question, can't answer that.^^

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU

if we are already writing and you feel we have chemistry, then please ask. if you feel like we might have chemistry/match, also ask. perhaps we can plot something <3

Tiêu chí 4C kiểm định chất lượng kim cương

Kiểm định chất lượng kim cương được đo lường dựa trên hệ thống tiêu chuẩn quốc tế 4C, gồm Carat (trọng lượng), Cut (giác cắt), Color (màu sắc) và Clarity (độ tinh khiết). Mỗi tiêu chí đóng vai trò riêng biệt, cùng tạo nên giá trị tổng thể của viên kim cương.

1. Carat – Trọng lượng Carat là thước đo trọng lượng của kim cương, 1 carat tương đương 0,2 gram. Trọng lượng này không chỉ ảnh hưởng đến kích thước mà còn đóng vai trò lớn trong việc định giá. Tuy nhiên, carat lớn không đảm bảo chất lượng nếu các yếu tố còn lại không đạt tiêu chuẩn. Một viên kim cương lớn nhưng có độ tinh khiết thấp hoặc giác cắt không đẹp sẽ mất đi sức hút (Day nghề kim hoàn).

2. Cut – Giác cắt Giác cắt là yếu tố quan trọng nhất trong 4C vì nó quyết định khả năng phản xạ ánh sáng của kim cương. Một giác cắt tốt sẽ tạo nên vẻ lấp lánh rực rỡ, trong khi giác cắt kém sẽ làm viên kim cương trông mờ nhạt. Giác cắt được đánh giá qua các mức độ: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, và Poor. Việc lựa chọn viên kim cương có giác cắt phù hợp không chỉ tăng tính thẩm mỹ mà còn gia tăng giá trị đáng kể.

‍

3. Color – Màu sắc Kim cương tự nhiên thường không hoàn toàn trong suốt mà có một chút màu sắc. Hệ thống phân loại màu của kim cương được xếp hạng từ D (không màu) đến Z (màu vàng hoặc nâu nhạt). Viên kim cương càng ít màu thì giá trị càng cao. Màu sắc này được kiểm tra dưới ánh sáng chuẩn, vì ánh sáng khác nhau có thể gây hiểu lầm về màu sắc thực tế (DNKH).

4. Clarity – Độ tinh khiết Độ tinh khiết của kim cương đo lường số lượng và kích thước của các tạp chất hoặc vết xước bên trong viên đá (gọi là inclusions) và trên bề mặt (DOJI). Độ tinh khit được phân loại từ Flawless (hoàn hảo, không có tì vết dưới kính hiển vi) đến Included (có nhiều tạp chất dễ nhìn thấy bằng mắt thường). Một viên kim cương có độ tinh khiết cao thường hiếm và giá trị cao hơn đáng kể.

@thoughts-onfire​ - continued from your reply to my post that’s found here!

Taking the ice pack from Gianna, Kerem set it against his ribcage where it hurt the most and cringed slightly before letting out a shaking breath and relaxing. “Oh yeah?” The fact that she was trying to offer him encouragement, and a positive outlook after his loss was only another reason that he’d come to love this woman. “I am proud of myself, and you know what? You saying all of that just makes the loss easier to handle. Can’t really be upset when my girl is telling me how much better I did this time around, rather than last fight.” With his free hand, he lifted it to brush his thumb across her cheek. “I’ll be even better next time, promise. Might even have less injuries for you to treat if things go the way I want them to... but, thank you for sticking by me. You have no idea how many times I hear guys talking about their girls getting upset over their fights, or what they look like after. Some of the girls leave because they can’t handle the stress of a fight... but not you.” He tapped his finger on the tip of her nose before letting his hand drop to his lap again.

gianna & finn ( @nomcurners​ ) ( flashback )

GIANNA HADN’T REALIZED FREE TIME could be so....boring. It was so rare these days, after all, between the crushing weight of schoolwork and the stringent expectations of her family. It was even more rare that she spent these sporadic moments alone; as much as she loved her freedom, loved her solitude, neither she nor Aleksi ever seemed to pass up on a chance to spend time with each other. But, of course, Aleksi was busy. No matter. Gia had dragged herself down to the seaside for some much-needed god damn alone time--just her, a book, and not a single medical matter in sight.

But the sun wasn’t quite warm enough, and her book couldn’t quite hold her attention for more than a few pages at a time, and when she’d heard the unmistakable babble of a toddler nearby, well, that seemed far more interesting. As the youngest Lockhart with no cousins to speak of, Gianna hadn’t yet become disillusioned with screaming children, even with her brief pediatrics rotation the term before. Okay, maybe watching the toddler and his--father? brother? babysitter? was creepy, but no one had called her on it yet, so she figured she could get away with it for a bit longer.

The tiny child flopped quite impressively to the ground at the water’s edge and let out a piercing wail. Before she could even think it through, Gia was on her feet and navigating her way through the loose sand, feeling a bit guilty and a bit embarrassed for the spark of excitement that went through her at the chance of something to do, a puzzle to solve. “You look like you could use some help.” Amusement glittered in her eyes as she took in the man struggling to calm the very upset child, even as a blush colored her cheeks. “Is he hurt? I’m a doctor--almost a doctor--I can help.”

[undrcssed]

it was an unusually warm day for may, and gia couldn’t be happier to get out of her small apartment. she’s been holed up lately, letting her work consume her, but cooper was able to convince her to shower (which she had him join her for) and get dressed in something other than paint covered overalls and a tie dyed t-shirt. after brushing out her hair she slips a white ankle length dress on over her head. she doesn’t bother with a bra, but she rarely does. her golden hair hangs down in loose waves and she’s wearing her favorite pair of sandals, showing off her purple nail polish. her arm is linked with cooper’s and they’re walking through the make-shift aisles of a locally sourced farmer’s market with all organic produce. “thank you for convincing me to get out of the house, i guess i really needed it,” she says sweetly, smiling up at him as they approach a stand with tomatoes, cucumbers and various squash.

Chapter Seven: A Simple Favour

Suki stood in the corridor, glass of water in hand, utterly confused. Where the hell did Bryce go? She walked the length of the hall to be sure she wasn’t just being dim, but he was no where to be seen. Had he been really that annoyed that she wouldn’t kiss him despite their rules? Or, maybe Suki was being too self-centred. The likelihood was that Bryce had to run off for some work thing – it was the middle of the day after all.

She continued on with her work day, but her mind kept flicking back to her strange morning. Especially when she’d seen Bryce only hours before back at his place and he’d been completely normal. They’d had a great time as usual, and there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. He’d even told her to leave early because he wanted a good sleep for his surgery. Of course she knew why he was different, but it was still strange to see. He’d been so psyched for the surgery to the point he’d even told his fuck buddy about it. Particularly when the story didn’t seem to add up and he was keeping pretty shtum about it all.

Suki just couldn’t help it – she was nosy.

—-

It wasn’t until about a week and a half later that Suki finally saw Bryce, or interacted at all with him. He’d texted a rather blunt ‘👃’ to which she’d read off and headed over to his apartment.

Almost as soon as Bryce opened the door to her his lips were on hers, not even giving her time for a greeting. He seemed on a mission. It was forceful, intentioned. Bryce heaved her up so that her legs wrapped around his waist with ease. Suki was surprised, but didn’t let on.

Pleasantries abandoned, they stumbled to the bedroom as one, continuing to kiss and touch their way out of most of their clothes – which were now strewn in a trail from the front door to Bryce’s bed.

He threw her down on to the mattress as though she was a pillow. Once Bryce had Suki’s hands pinned either side of her on the bed and was giving all his attention to her neck; she decided to ask him. It did seem to have affected how he was that night, after all.

“How are you feeling? You know about the surgery?”

“Fine,” he muttered through a tirade of kisses to Suki’s neck, much more focused on that than the conversation.

“So, like, the other day… where did you disappear to?”

He sighed and removed his lips from her neck, not lifting his face to meet hers, but muttered into the crook of her neck:

“It doesn’t matter right now.” He smoothed his hands down her bare stomach.

“Okay…” she threaded her fingers through his hair as he started moving again. But she couldn’t just drop it. He’d been so weird and then left without a word? He was being weird then. Her curiosity was getting the better of her.

“Have you spoken to Dr. Emery since?”

Bryce let out what sounded like a half-grunt, half-sigh, and rolled away from her, staring at the ceiling.

“Can we just- not talk about it? Please?”

“Yeah.”

“Good.” He laid there for a few seconds, seeming to compose himself. Then he turned so that he was on his side, “come here.”

So, it didn’t seem Suki was getting a confession out of him any time soon. He wasn’t his usual cocky, playful self that day, but rather blunt and straightforward, and really focused.

And sure, Suki was only there for sex – it wasn’t like she was his therapist or anything – but she was still a little peeved off that her attempts to help him had been brushed off to the point where he just left her. But, she supposed it wasn’t her business, and she should stop being so nosy.

She relented and leaned into him, letting his kisses absolve her of thought.

Which – although unknown to Suki – was exactly what Bryce was doing, too.

—-

But the next time she saw him – in a group setting at their apartment – he was back to his usual self. He was absolutely giving her whiplash, and Suki wasn’t sure how she felt about it.

They all lounged around in the living area, TV playing in the background. It was their first day off in what felt like far too long. Bryce was bickering with Jackie over something trivial while Suki lay beside him with her head on Aurora’s shoulder, the weeks’ work catching up with her. Elijah and Sienna were watching funny videos on Sienna’s phone.

“Nope. Absolutely not,” Jackie said. “Tomato Ketchup belongs in the cupboard.”

“You have to be crazy! It goes in the fridge, it even says so on the bottle!”

“But why would you want cold ketchup with hot fries?”

“Because of the temperature sensation!”

Suki sighed, zoning out of the ridiculous bickering, but smiling to herself all the same. Aurora was breathing quietly, relaxing Suki’s heartbeat.

After a little while, the conversation seemed to have changed to Donohue’s the other week.

“Oh come on, you brought your own shades!”

“I know, it’s because I’m just that cool.”

“Pfft,” Jackie snorted.

“I wish someone had caught that on film, we were epic,” Bryce grinned.

“Oh, of course I filmed it!” Sienna interrupted, her attention pulled away from the video she was showing Elijah.

“Really?”

“Here-“ Sienna handed him the phone, and Suki could hear the muffled recording of her and Bryce at karaoke.

Truthfully, she’d already watched it a fair few times. Just to check she didn’t do anything embarrassing. But she had found herself picking at every little thing she’d done. And marvelling over how effortless and comfortable Bryce had looked. Watching the way he moved and grinned as he sang, looking silly but like you’re laughing with him, not at him. The way they’d bounced off each other up there.

She could hear the laughed ‘you’re the one that I want’, and lifted her head from Aurora’s shoulder to look over for Bryce’s reaction. He seemed a lot closer now that her head was straight. Bryce was smiling, corners of his eyes crinkled and the ghost of a dimple on his right cheek. The song came to an end and Suki could hear Sienna’s screaming in the phone at quite the volume.

“Send me this, Si?” He asked.

“Yeah! I’ll airdrop it right now,” she grinned, taking back her phone and getting to it.

“Why would you want video evidence of you looking and sounding like that?” Teased Jackie.

“I obviously want it so I can admire Suki’s amazing karaoke.”

“You heard me right? I can’t sing for the life of me,” Suki scoffed.

Bryce just winked, pulling out his own phone to save the video.

“I actually love when people film me doing random shit,” she smiled, “it’s like I get to take a peek at myself through someone else’s eyes. Who I am when I’m not performing for the mirror or my own camera, you know?” She said it more to herself than anyone else.

“Yeah. I know completely,” Bryce smiled back, his shoulder almost grazing hers. There was a moment they just looked at each other in complete understanding.

“Ugh. I hate when people film me,” Jackie groaned, breaking their reverie.

Bryce broke his gaze with Suki and laughed at Jackie, setting off another silly bickering fest between them.

Suki felt so insanely comfortable with everyone there at that point that she couldn’t believe she’d ever felt awkward about it.

—-

“Yeah, so, I’ll see you guys later.” Bryce smiled on his way out. Everyone was getting ready for bed.

“Yep! See you dumbass,” said Jackie affectionally as she patted him on the back.

Everyone said their goodbyes, and Bryce slipped out of the door. One by one they all retreated to their own rooms, saying goodnight to one another. Once she was sure they were all gone, Suki snuck back over to the door, and opened it up to a grinning Bryce leaning on the wall.

She put her finger to his lips, earning a humoured nod. Bryce stepped inside and Suki shut the door as quietly as she could and the two tip-toed over to her bedroom. He’d given her the signal earlier, and she’d texted this plan. After all, they really didn’t need everyone on their backs about it. She didn’t ask about the surgery again.

—-

Towards the end of November, Suki was just returning from picking up a few bits from the convenience store and moving back from the chill air into the warm hall of their apartment building. She was prepped with chips and candy for her first day off in ages.

As she climbed the flights of stairs (she wanted to keep fit so avoided the elevator), she could hear voices coming from her floor. An exhausted looking mother who Suki recognised as Gia, the woman across the hall from them, was holding her son’s hand and seemed restless on the phone. She smiled warmly as she saw Suki, although they hadn’t interacted much they’d become friendly.

“No, like right now,” she said into the phone. She scrunched up her face at whatever the receiving end said to her. The little boy, Tommy, pulled on her sleeve.

Suki came closer and placed her bag down. Then she crouched and placed a finger to her lips, beckoning Tommy over to her.

“Hi!” She whispered when Tommy approached. He was about 3, so his conversation wasn’t that wide yet. He just smiled at her, deep dimples and curls on his head. So cute!

They messed around a little before Gia hung up, and looked even more stressed than she had before.

“You okay?” Suki asked.

Gia appeared to think for a moment on whether she’d share with Suki.

“No. Work needs me and honestly, I need the hours. I can’t take him to work, he’s too young and he’ll just run around the store and I can’t keep an eye on him. But Tommy’s dad is busy and I can’t find a sitter…” she pinched the bridge of her nose.

“I’ll watch him. If you’re okay with that, of course, I’d be more than happy to help.”

“Really? You honestly wouldn’t mind?”

“Hey, I’m happy to look after him a little while.”

“Oh Suki! You’re a lifesaver.”

Gia scrambled out many more thanks’, told Suki she’d be gone for about four hours (are you sure it’s okay? Really, no pressure) rushed out her number to Suki so she could check up on them once Suki assured her for the umpteenth time that she didn’t mind, and hurried down the stairs.

For the first hour or so, Suki and Tommy were having a great time. They played peek-a-boo, Suki drew some animals for him to colour in, and even made a little fort on the sofa.

Eventually, Suki needed the bathroom. She was a little apprehensive to leave Tommy even for only two minutes, but it had to be done. So she went as quick as she could and then they continued on with their play. Suki even supplied a snack of banana and peanut butter toast.

What must have been a half hour after Suki went to the toilet, the doorbell rang.

“Ding dong!” Imitated Tommy.

“Yes! Now you sit on the couch while I check who it is.”

Tommy jumped on the sofa and crossed his legs exaggeratedly, wanting to impress her. She gave him an encouraging thumbs up.

As Suki put her hand to the doorknob she was struck with a little confusion, had someone forgotten something they needed for work?

Opening the door however, revealed otherwise. Bryce was stood in the doorway once more, leaning casually on the frame.

“Hey hot stuff.”

“Bryce! What the f- uhh heck are you doing?”

Bryce looked confused when Suki seemed to not expect him, or go in for a kiss. And he was more confused when she opened the door wider to reveal Tommy behind her.

“Um… you… you sent me the nose,” he whispered behind a hand.

“I- what?” She asked, shocked. Her eyes fell on the shape on the sofa. “Sh- It must’ve been the kid.”

“Ah.” Bryce pulled his lips into his mouth like he was about to laugh. Suki beckoned Bryce in and shut the door so that Tommy couldn’t escape. She crossed over to the sofa and picked up her phone. Sure enough, her last sent texts were way too many nose emojis.

Santa Fe: 👃👃👃👃👃

Scalpel Jockey: i’ll be at yours ASAP?

Santa Fe: 👃👃👃👃👃👃👃👃👃(£&&£?

Scalpel Jockey: lol hold ur horses

He must’ve struck when she’d gone to the bathroom, and she had forgotten to lock her phone. She wondered how Tommy had gotten ahold of her text messages and the nose emoji in particular, but of course…

“God it’s- it’s in my recents,” she blushed.

Bryce gave her a shit-eating grin. “Yeah it is.”

She wanted to hit him, but it probably wouldn’t be good manners in front of a child so she just gave him a death glare.

“Who’s this?” Tommy asked, still sitting nicely on the sofa.

“This is my… this is Bryce!”

“Hey little guy.” Bryce crouched down in front of him and shook his hand gently. Tommy seemed very pleased at this.

“So… what’s the deal?” Bryce asked Suki in a hushed tone as he settled in next to Tommy on the couch. She told him the story.

“Everyone’s at work,” she finished, “my plans were originally chips, candy and Netflix but, I think they changed for the better, right, Tommy?” She grinned at the little guy, earning a giggle from him.

“Uh so you had the day off and the place to yourself and you weren’t even going to invite me over?” Bryce mocked offence.

“Yep. My life doesn’t revolve around your d- uhh nose.”

Bryce howled a laugh, enough to make Tommy join in.

It took him a while to recover, at which point he just tapped the side of his nose like they’d shared a secret, but of course, the secret was his no- uhh dick.

“So, uh, sorry you came all the way here but, as you can see, I’m a little busy.”

Bryce nodded, still grinning from the laughing. “Eh, whatever. I had a nice walk over here. And I think that nose quip made it worth it.”

And then, in yet another divine intervention, just as she was about to usher Bryce out Suki’s pager beeped.

“Can this day get any more hectic...” she muttered, more to herself than to Bryce as she stood from the sofa and patted herself down to find her pager. She began rushing around to grab her coat. “I’m going to have to take him with me or- or… or something.” She was bustling around the apartment at speed, frantically collecting her things.

Bryce cleared his throat, causing Suki to look at him as though she’d momentarily forgotten he was there.

“I’ll watch him.”

“What?”

“The kid, I’ll watch him while you’re at work.”

“Bryce he’s not even mine, I don’t know if Gia would be comfortable with this. I can’t ask you to do that.”

“Obviously he’s not yours, I think I would’ve known by now. I’ve met Gia, she loves me. Right, Tommy? Your mommy thinks I’m so cool.”

“When?! Actually, don’t answer that,” Suki said, realising he must’ve met her from one of the many times he’d been round. “Call her for me.” Suki threw her phone at Bryce, who caught it expertly, before she rushed to her bedroom to freshen up a little.

She splashed water on her face and made sure she had everything she needed before hurrying back to the living area.

“She’s okay with it. Something about Doctors being trustworthy,” Bryce smirked form the sofa, where he had Tommy on his knees and was swaying him from side to side as though playing aeroplane.

Suki raised an eyebrow, some Doctors were trustworthy. “Are you sure? I don’t know how long I’ll be.”

“I’m sure, now go.”

He gave her a confident smile as she closed the door behind her.

—-

The page was because one of Suki’s patients was becoming critical, and all hands on deck were needed. There wasn’t a lot she could do once she was there except help to stabilise him, make him comfortable, and wait to see if he improved. It was physically and emotionally taxing but soon enough she was headed back home, and was honestly looking forward to seeing that sweet little kid and Bryce being an idiot as usual.

When Suki snuck into the apartment, there was no noise. She looked over to see Bryce asleep on the sofa, a snoring Tommy in his arms. He looked so at peace, so gentle, his eyelashes fluttering against his cheeks and his lips slightly parted. Given most situations she’d been looking at his lips, this was an odd contrast. But it suited him. God, she hadn’t forgotten, but it was certainly a reminder of just how pretty he was. His strong arms looked delicate as they lay protectively around Tommy’s small figure. Tommy was curled into his chest like a little koala.

Seeing that, all her anxieties were quelled for a moment. It was like a ‘hey, there’s still good in the world’ nudge. Odd that that good was from Bryce but, also not so odd. He had managed to talk her down after she’d had that difficult day, after all.

Suki moved over to the sofa quietly and perched on the coffee table. She just sat, looking, for a moment. Finally Bryce wasn’t running his mouth off about something. His quiet breaths were masked by Tommy’s purr-like snores, but she could just about hear them, like a live, ASMR metronome. She found herself breathing in sync with him.

Eventually she reached out a hand to gently shake Bryce’s shoulder.

“Hey,” she said softly.

Bryce’s eyes blinked open slowly, confusion shifting to a bemusing sort of tenderness as soon as they spotted Suki. Suddenly he didn’t seem worried about where he was.

“Hey,” he whispered, voice slightly croaky. Careful not to move too much for Tommy’s sake, Bryce brought a hand up to clear the sleep from his eyes. He watched Suki, noticing she looked significantly more worn than she had before she’d left.

They sat like that for a while, mostly silence to let Tommy continue resting, but it felt okay. Suki ‘life embarrasses me’ Moore felt completely fine sitting in silence, somehow. Maybe it was the fact that she herself was getting sleepy and her eyes kept closing until she remembered she was sat on a coffee table and couldn’t sleep there. Maybe it was left over sensitivity from today’s chapter of Existentialism: Doctor’s Edition. Maybe she just wasn’t worried about what other people thought because the only other people were a sleeping toddler and someone who she was simply sleeping with. Maybe.

Not so long after Suki returned there was a knock at the door, revealing Gia.

“Hi! I’m so sorry I took so long, I don’t know how I’ll ever thank you both for looking after him. Hey, little guy!” She greeted Tommy as scooped him up in her arms as he waddled over to her.

“It’s okay. It was all Bryce, really.”

“He’s a pleasure. You had him a while before I popped in though - I can’t take all the credit,” Bryce grinned, all charm.

“Well, both of you. Be sure to cash in a favour whenever you need one.”

And with that Gia and Tommy left, all thankful smiles.

“So…” Bryce turned to Suki, eyebrows raised in humour. Then he flicked a thumb in the direction of her bedroom. She pulled up one side of her mouth in a smile, reached down to grab one of his hands and pulled him into her bedroom.

—-

After the fact, and way later than either of them expected, the duo were beginning to get a little sleepy. The clock on Suki’s bedside table read 01:14am. Bryce sat up in the bed, rubbing his eyes and looking for his clothes. He noticed Suki looking a little distant.

“Was I that bad?”

She laughed gently, no real humour behind it. “I would’ve kicked you out if you were bad.”

“What’s wrong?” The concern laced in his voice brought Suki back to that time he’d found her in the supply closet, and she knew at that moment she could tell him.

“My patient, the one I was paged for, he’s not doing so well. It’s part of the job and all but, it still hurts every time.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. You’ll do your best, I know you will.”

“Thanks.”

There was a moment where Bryce hesitated, considering giving her a comforting pat but decided against it. He continued looking around for his clothes, but was clearly very tired and moving slow where he sat up in the bed. Suki sighed. I’m so going to regret this. Oh well.

“It’s late, stay. Just make sure you’re gone by the time I wake up.”

“What about your roommates?”

“You’ll just have to be more careful this time.”

“If you’re sure.”

Suki just nodded. She turned away to face the wall, shutting her eyes and waiting for sleep.

“Thank you,” she heard Bryce mutter behind her. Really it was him she should be thanking, for looking after Tommy, but she was afraid to breach the silence again.

Moreover, she was doing it for herself more than for his sake. She wasn’t sure she wanted to be alone as she entered unconsciousness that night.

Soon enough Suki drifted off into a peaceful and primarily uninterrupted sleep.

Because she definitely hadn’t awoken when she felt Bryce stir beside her. He seemed to sit up and stay there a while. But not wanting to give herself away, Suki stayed stock still. And then it felt like his lips brushed her shoulder, and his hand brushed her hair, but the next thing she knew she was falling back into unconsciousness, so maybe it was a dream…

—-

When Suki awoke Bryce was gone, as he said he would be. The spot on the bed beside her was cold. Stretching out her muscles, Suki realised she’d slept much sounder than she’d anticipated after the rush into the hospital. She didn’t want to attribute that to Bryce’s presence, but perhaps just knowing someone was there was all she needed.

Feeling energised for the day Suki slipped out of bed and began to bustle about her morning routine: a quick shower, minimal face care, a large mug of coffee with oat milk (it added a nice sweetness without the need for sugar), brushing her teeth, picking something warm and cosy to wear in, and then rushing out to hop on the T.

When she finally reached Edenbrook Suki was in high spirits, bouncing along to the changing rooms. She actually felt hopeful about her patient, too. Perhaps a good nights sleep was all she needed to treat him properly, and all he needed to recover.

Getting a little ahead of herself, it wasn’t until a few moments passed that Suki realised she was standing outside of the changing rooms, hand hovering over the doorknob. She could hear voices.

“Nah, I’m just feeling good is all,” ther first voice said. Of course, the voice was very familiar to Suki as it was Bryce’s voice.

“Oh yeah? Got some cool medical stuff going on?” The second voice joked.

“Pfft. Not after the surgery disaster.” Hm. Okay. Suki couldn’t help but feel a little miffed that Bryce was talking about the surgery with whoever this was, but that he hadn’t shared with her. Again, she felt bad for feeling that way since she wasn’t in a position to earn the information, but all the same – it felt a bit shitty.

She realised then that she’d subconsciously decided to eavesdrop on this conversation, but she wasn’t quite sure why. It wasn’t like they would stop if she walked in.

The second voice laughed, and there was a clang of a locker. “Okay, so you’re just in a good mood for no particular reason?”

“That’s right.”

Then there was a scuffle and a couple of grunts, like someone had rushed the other.

“Oooh! You’re sleeping with someone!” The second voice exclaimed, obviously having found some information.

It was at this point Suki knew she shouldn’t have kept listening. But, she did.

“Give it back.”

“You are, right?”

“Maybe,” he said. Although Suki couldn’t see him, she could hear his bragging smile. There was a pause, and Suki wished she could see the expressions on their faces to gauge what was going on. Or even see what on earth the second voice had found.

“You like her.”

There was a poignant pause.

“I like her body.”

Oh.

Suki stepped away abruptly, she didn’t need to hear anymore. For some reason hearing that brought on a stabbing pain in her chest and a flip in her stomach. Perhaps it was that the last couple of weeks had been so easy and comfortable between them had made Suki forget that he wasn’t obliged to be her friend. Or even was her friend. Obviously the only thing he was interested in was her body, and she was stupid to think otherwise. She should’ve never let herself feel safe when their arrangement had been so clear: keep it casual.

Do Anything | Part 4

Pairing: Tyler Jones x reader

Warnings: some violence

A/N: Last part guys. You ready for the happy (ish) ending? I have a real weak spot for angsty reunions and kisses and confessions fuelled by almost losing the person you love so I hope to god I managed to do that justice here. Need to thank @writingbychelle for all the help and motivation she gave me while writing this fic. I wrote most of part 2 as well as all of part 3 and 4 in one day and I don’t think I could have managed pretty much any of it without her x

Word Count: 1653

I knew Tyler meant for me to go to the control deck where Cat and Fin were probably waiting but I couldn’t just leave him. I did do as he asked and stayed on the ship though, hovering by the airlock door and watching everything unfold. It felt so wrong not to go and help but I was in no condition to be anything but a hindrance right now. We’d all seen just how little use I’d be already. So I watched. Heart hammering as things got messy and the squad put their lives in danger yet again.

Auri was a sight to behold. She’d clearly been training a lot in the last month or so and was in total control of her frightening level of power. That would be why everyone had seemed so quietly confident. With Auri doing what she was, we really could get out of this alive. All of us this time.

As I watched, she turned 20 agents - TDF and GIA alike - into little more than piles of mush, barely pausing before pulling the weapons of half the force from their hands and turning them on their former owners. The disruptor fire that followed was deafening, the TDF and the squad firing on each other at once. After throwing a few more swaths of troops backwards, Auri made a run for it and it was honestly frightening.

Her eye was still glowing as she directed her power to do something, what I couldn’t tell though, and raced towards me, face like a raging storm. I almost pitied the agents that had come up against her. Almost. But not really. They could all rot in hell.

The ship came alive beneath me as Auri reached the airlock and collapsed on the ground beside me, quickly turning to face the opening again. It was only then that I realised what she was doing as her power slipped away from her trip. She was holding back the disruptor blasts and keeping the ships grounded. All of them at once. Great Maker she was strong.

Tyler, Scarlett, Zila, and Kal piled into the airlock and Cat took off, not waiting to get it closed much like last time. It closed automatically at a certain altitude anyway. It slid shut and the decompression cycle ran. The moment it was done and the inner door slid open, Kal took off running with Auri in his arms, Tyler and Zila not far behind.

Scarlett helped me to my feet and threw my arm over her shoulder, half dragging me as we ran through the halls to the control deck. The chaos continued, more of an organised chaos this time though. Auri was situated at an auxiliary station, staring intently out of the window, eye still glowing fiercely. Was she ever going to run out of power? Tyler was helping Cat maneuver through the mass of ships firing on us, all the while frantically punching coordinates into the Nav systems. Kal and Zila were trying to return fire and actually hit something.

I slumped into the chair beside Auri that Scarlett led me over to. She helped me buckle up as I tried to figure out what it was Auri was doing now. My answer came soon enough when the battle cruiser I’d been captive on for the past month was torn in half. I gaped as Scarlett moved on and strapped Auri in too before heading to her own seat, I could kiss her right now. Now I’d never have to see that place again. Part of me wished that I could have destroyed it myself somehow but what mattered was that it was gone and with it, just about everyone who had hurt me.

“Everyone in?” Tyler asked, voice strained. A chorus of affirmations. “Cat, Auri, you ready?” They both nodded. “Alright. Punch it!”

The ship rocketed forward and I was pressed back into my seat. This ship had never moved so quickly, no ship I’d ever heard of had. I looked over to Auri. Her teeth were gritted, nails digging into the arms of her seat, blood trickling from her nose. She was doing this. And from the looks of it, she was also ripping apart half the ships around us.

We raced to the nearest foldgate. I knew this area. It should have taken at least 5 minutes. It didn’t even take 1.

The girls didn’t let up, Cat helping out by pushing the engines to the limits as we entered the fold. Colour faded away but Auri continued to shine like a beacon as she pushed us forward. My vision started to blur, the g-force becoming too much when added to the rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins and the weak state of my body. It all faded away to nothing.

*

I woke up in pain in a bright room on a threadbare mattress. Panic surfaced instinctively. I was back in the cell, they’d come for me any moment. That week long reprieve was over. There was a hand gripping my own tightly and I instinctively jerked away, squeezing my eyes shut again and trying - and failing - to keep my breathing even.

“Shh, (Y/N), it’s okay. You’re okay.” That voice. I knew that voice. My heart started racing for a different reason.

“Tyler?” My voice sounded terrible and weak to my ears but it was loud enough for him to hear.

“Yeah. It’s me.” I heard him shift and felt the mattress dip beside me. I hesitantly opened my eyes again, worried that when I did, he wouldn’t really be there. He was. I let out a choked sob and threw myself into his arms, my body screaming in protest. Everything flooded back. Finally leaving the battle cruiser, getting to the spaceport, seeing Tyler, Auri destroying everything, speeding away into the fold. Then it went blank. I had no idea where we were now.

“Is everyone…”

“They’re fine. No one’s hurt.”

“You shouldn’t’ve...Shouldn't have come. You could have been killed.” As I said it, I started crying harder. He’d come for me. He’d come. For me.

“So could you.”

“Tyler-”

“(Y/N). There is nothing in this galaxy or any other that could have stopped me. I will always come for you.”

“You’re an idiot,” I whispered into his shoulder as I held him closer.

“I’m not the one who volunteered to stay behind on an enemy ship.”

“I remember very clearly that you did.” He chuckled a little at that. “I’m glad it wasn’t you. I couldn’t bear it if it was you.”

“It should have been me.” I felt a tear drop onto my neck as his arms tightened around me and I gasped out in pain. He pulled back immediately, concern written in the lines of his face. I pulled him back though, not caring how much it hurt. Not being pressed against him for a second hurt more and I couldn’t stand that look on his face. “I’m so sorry,” he said softly, arms winding back around my waist.

“Don’t be. I’d do it all again if I had to.” His arms tightened again but he didn’t pull away when I hissed out a breath this time.

“Don’t you ever do something like that again. Promise me you won’t.” I hesitated for a moment. “Please.” And his voice was so broken I found myself agreeing.

“I promise.” I just hoped we never had to test that promise. I didn’t want to break it but I wouldn’t hesitate if it kept Tyler safe. I would do anything to keep him safe. “I love you,” I whispered as an afterthought. I suspected he might somehow have known I said it before but I needed him to hear it for sure. And I wanted to do it properly. Now the heat of the moment and the panic of imminent death was gone. Now there was nothing but the two of us, alone in a room on some far-off planet. There was space and time and no adrenaline to diminish the meaning behind the words.

“I love you too,” he replied. Such a simple declaration, but it was everything. The words settled in my heart and spread to every part of me. They changed everything but nothing at all.

He pulled back just enough to lean down and kiss me. It wasn’t the first time but I’d felt all the other kisses through pain and panic. Now though, now there was just him and the warm, steady press of his lips against mine.

I could tell he was holding back, trying not to hurt me, but I didn’t care if he did. I wasn’t going to break. I needed to feel everything. Threading my fingers through his hair, I deepened the kiss and with only a little hesitation he started kissing me with the raw desperation of that first kiss. It was what I needed right now. There would be a time for softness and gentle touches later. And it wasn’t as if I couldn’t feel the love he was pouring into it. It was in every flick of his tongue, every touch of his hands, every beat of his pounding heart. My own actions were filled with it too.

In the back of my mind, I knew this wasn’t it. We still had the fight of our lives ahead of us, one we didn’t even know for sure we could win, and even if we did, everything it took would haunt us forever and we wouldn’t be the same people by the end of it. We already weren’t. But the end of everything wasn’t going anywhere. It could wait for us. The universe owed us that much. And one day, hopefully, it would owe us so much more. It was only fair we had this for now, I thought. And for once the universe seemed to agree.

Elijah’s Eternity: New Orleans - Part Seventeen +18

Author: eternityunicorn 

Genre: Romance/Drama/AU

Pairing: Elijah Mikaelson x OC

Warnings: Violance, Smut (*Smut chapters marked +18)

Summary: Sequel to the AU Elijah’s Eternity - Ten years have passed, a mournful Elijah has finally started to move on without his lady. In that time, he has gained a reunited family and has also found a new lady love. Yet, all is not well as danger comes for the smallest member of the Mikaelson family: Hope, and it prompts Niklaus to call upon the white goddess, drawing her back into Elijah’s life. As they reunite, can Elijah really say he’s truly moved on?

NOTE: OC and original elements are from my up and coming novel series!

———————————————————————————————————

When Gia finally awoke, she was disoriented. She didn’t seem to have any idea as to what had happened or how she had gotten to the old loft. She sat up with a start to find herself laying on the couch with Eternity sitting on the opposite one, while Elijah pacing worriedly behind her. He was deeply concerned for the young vampire, afraid for her since someone from his past had decided to hijack her for malicious purposes. Her safety had been compromised and he found that unsettling, to say the least.

“Where is Hel?” The dark beauty asked, looking around the place for Eternity’s daughter.

“We do not know,” Eternity replied gently. “You came here spelled by some malicious entity. You were not yourself. If I may ask, what is the last thing you remember?”

Gia frowned contemplatively, her brows furrowing in concentration as she did. “Hel and I were enjoying a day of shopping in the Quarter,” she replied. “We were just looking around, you know? Not really doing much, besides window shopping in the Quarter. I remember suddenly not feeling very well and Hel screaming my name in a panic, but everything is dark after that - fuzzy. I don’t remember anything that came next.”

“Well, do not fret about it. The evil done unto you will not be back for a second strike,” Eternity told her. “I can promise you that. For now, it is best that we get you back to my daughter. Knowing Hel, she is probably out of her mind with worry. I can see that you two have grown quite close, from your reaction upon waking, and my child is always fiercely protective of those she cares about. It’s one of her best qualities.” She smiled gently.

Gia nodded with a small, fond smile, “It is. I’ve really grown to like Hel.”

Just then, Eternity’s daughter appeared in the room as if she had been summoned. Immediately the younger immortal, whom resembled her mother uncannily, was across the room and embracing Gia on the couch. “Oh, thank the universes that you are alright,” she murmured to the other woman.

The female vampire embraced Hel in return with a sigh of relief. It was obvious to Elijah, as well, that the two women had grown quite close in the months since Gia had left his protection. In fact, they looked like the best of friends to him, at first, but then he noticed something surprising as the pair pulled back to gaze at each other. He couldn’t see Hel’s eyes from his position behind the opposite couch, but his ex-fiancée’s were shining with an adoration reserved for lovers. 

It seemed love was in the air for the younger immortal and the young vampire. Elijah was happy for Gia. He was glad that someone could help her mend her broken heart since it had been he who broke it. 

“I’m sorry, Gia,” Hel murmured to the dark beauty. “I didn’t mean for harm to come to you.”

“It’s okay, I’m okay,” the female vampire reassured her. “Just take me home, alright, and we’ll call it even.”

Eternity’s daughter nodded and then turned toward her mother, falling to one knee upon the floor in front of her with her head bowed. “Forgive me, Mama,” she said. “I have failed in my mission. I swear it won’t happen again. I promise you upon the pain of death to be more vigilant in the future.”

The immortal queen smiled softly at her child, “There is no need for this extreme apology, daughter. You are young and still coming into your role as a protector. I will however hold you to your promise to be more vigilant. There are many evils about. You must be forever ready for them.”

“I swear, Mama,” Hel looked up at her mother with a determined look in her eyes.

With one final nod from Eternity, the younger immortal got to her feet and turned back to Gia with an outstretched hand. The vampire smiled widely and took it in her own, letting Hel tug her up from the couch. They turned to exit without further words being exchanged.

However, Eternity approached Gia before the pair could head out. “I promise you that nobody will ever take control of you again,” she said firmly with confidence. “Elijah and I will ensure that whomever used you as a pawn will pay dearly. You have my word on that.”

The dark beauty nodded curtly, still feeling a little bit of hostility toward the ethereal woman for Elijah’s choosing her over Gia, after he had swore to spend his life with the baby vampire. It was obvious to Elijah by the way her dark eyes lit up with the subtle fires of anger and heartbreak. He felt terrible still for how things had happened, but he couldn’t regret their parting ways as Eternity was where his heart had always laid. 

“I hope so,” Gia replied to queen tightly. She suddenly glanced down at the ring on Eternity’s finger and quickly looked back up at her to say, “Congratulations on your engagement, by the way. I hope the two of you will be very happy.” She didn’t say this in a disrespectful way, but even in her neutral way of speaking, there was obviously some subtle belligerence there in her tone of voice.

Neither Eternity nor Elijah said anything in response. Instead they simply watched as Gia and Hel walked away, leaving the loft completely. Elijah realized that she never said anything to him nor had she even look at him. Part of him was unbothered by this, but his pride as an Original vampire was stung a little by her lack of acknowledgement of his presence, heartbreak or no.

Thinking on it, however, perhaps it was for the best she moved along without turning her justified anger onto him. Though Elijah understood why she was hostile and took full responsibility for it, he knew he would refuse to let her get away with disrespecting him as her superior, according to vampire hierarchy. He didn’t want to be forced to cause more problems by asserting his place above her as vampires.

“Well, that went better than expected,” Eternity quipped as she turned back to face him, once the pair had gone. 

Elijah walked up to his lady with fluidness and smoothed back the hair that framed her face, while his other hand remained in his pants pocket. “Yes, it did,” he said to her softly, ready to get back to their previous tenderness, before the interruption.

She smiled at him fondly, before it faded into concern. “I fear what is to come next,” Eternity told him. “If this has been just a warning from Loki in the afterlife, then what else does that bastard have planned?” She turned away from his touch with her hands threading through her hair in frustration. It was very human of her, yet fitting for who she was. “I thought with his death,” she carried on, “I’d be rid of him for good. I’d be...free. Alas, that seems to be a wish never granted.”

Elijah didn’t know what to say to her. What could he possibly say to comfort her? He was no match for Loki, if that was truly who their enemy was. It was likely, but had yet to be confirmed it was the Trickster causing problems. If it was, it wasn’t as if he could promise her to deal with the fiend himself, as he would if Loki and Eternity were Earth-based immortals. Elijah felt frustration well up in him, the same as his lady’s; though his was at the fact that he was still helpless. 

“My grandmother was right!” Eternity shouted into the air angrily. “I should have never married that bastard!” 

Immediately, she stopped and turned back around to face Elijah with a timid, almost guilty expression. Her eyes were wide as she realized what she had blurted out.

Married? They had been married?

Elijah had his suspicions that was the case all along. Their relationship had been long lasting and they had children together. The possibility of matrimony between them made sense, so it wasn’t that much of a shock to find out the truth. However, what got to him about her unintended confession was the fact Eternity had omitted that little piece of information in her retellings of her relationship with the Trickster. Omission was the same as lying and that was something that Elijah never stood for.

It was apparent by the way his lady was looking at him now that she knew this about him too. Of course she did. Why wouldn’t she?

He felt a bit of anger build up in him, because of her previously being less than truthfulness. His jaw tightened and his eyes narrowed upon her remorseful face.

“Elijah,” Eternity said slowly, “I always meant to tell you the truth, but whenever we would speak of Loki, I found I simply didn’t want to admit to that fact - that I had been his wife and he my husband. I was ashamed, I suppose. I rarely spoke of him as my ex-husband in the four hundred years I spent running from him. Yes, I did divorce him long before we met, to be clear. Even so, I didn’t want anyone to know I had foolishly loved that man, let alone that I had married him. I don’t know what I thought in not telling you from the start, but perhaps I simply didn’t want you to think poorly of me for my choices or to mistrust me because of them.”

Elijah gazed at her intensely. He didn’t like being lied to, but he supposed the offense wasn’t that grave since at the very least, she hadn’t revealed to him that she had been married to Loki the whole time they had been together. He hadn’t been ‘the other man’ in this, as the Trickster and her had been already divorced during their whirlwind love affair. As a result of this fact, his anger dissipated as quickly as it had arose.

The Original approached her with a soft, genuine smile as to show he wasn’t angry with her. He reached and cupped the side of her face, while she stood perfectly still before him. She said nothing else, only gazed at him expectantly as she waited for him to speak.

“You should know I would never think poorly of you, because of whom you had chosen to bind yourself to,” he told her. “After all, I, myself, have loved and believed in the wrong person, a time or two. Nobody understands that more than I, I don’t think.” 

Elijah paused to take her hand into his other one and rubbed his thumb over the back of it as a show of affection. “No, but I am not at all pleased that you would omit the truth about your relationship with Loki,” he gave her a pointed look with a little smirk upon his lips, “or that you would think so poorly of me, that you would think it possible for me to think less of you for your past choices.” He sighed deeply before he gently said, “Sweetheart, I love you and I will always think the world of you, no matter what.” 

“Elijah,” she breathed his name with an adoring smile, relief evident in her sweet face as she looked apologetically at him. “I am sorry for hiding the truth from you. I shouldn’t have done that. I love you with all my heart.”

His mouth descended upon hers immediately. He kissed her with everything he had, his tongue slipping into her mouth to plunder the cavern throughly. She melted against him, her hands sliding up to thread through his short hair. One of his hands caressed down her back over the silkiness of her lavender dress, the very one that she had changed into when they had left the compound. It came to rest on her waist, while his other hand came to cup the side her neck.

He wanted her badly. It was almost concerning how he seemed to never be satisfied. He always wanted more of her. He was sure he had this thought before, but he couldn’t help thinking: never in his long life had Elijah ever quite felt an insatiable need for another. Eternity was an all consuming fire that burned through him, igniting every passion in him until he felt as though he couldn’t even breathe.

Just how did he manage to spend ten years without her? He had to wonder. 

Eternity pulled back to smile up at him adoringly. Her big sapphire eyes gazed into his own as she simply looked at him. She didn’t speak at all and really, she didn’t need to. Everything was there written upon her face.

Elijah leaned down to rest his forehead against hers with his eyes closed, as he simply held her to him. There was nothing but happiness between them - and peace, in spite of all the insanity of the day. Nothing and nobody could ruin it, not Céleste, not Loki, not even Bruno. All their enemies could come at them at once right then and it wouldn’t change the near euphoric feeling of the tender moment between them.

This time, Elijah pulled back to kiss her forehead and smile at her with an adoration all his own.

Eternity returned his smile with a coy one. “Make love to me, Elijah,” she whispered to him.

He didn’t need to be told twice. 

Elijah lifted her hands to rest on his chest. He grinned mischievously as he quietly commanded, “Undress me.”

She immediately did as he requested. First, she removed his tie from around his neck and tossed it aside. Then Eternity pulled his shirt from where it had been tucked into his pants and deftly attacked the buttons of his dress shirt, undoing them all. He helped her remove it by shrugging out of it. She tossed that article aside as well, before gazing at him appreciatively, admiring him in his half naked glory. 

Suddenly, her mouth was upon him. Eternity’s lips trailed over his jaw, down his neck, and further down his chest, where she peppered open mouthed kisses to his skin. As she did this, her hands moved to undo his pants, opening them swiftly with one hand dipping inside to caress his already hardened length. 

Elijah gasped quietly at her touch, his heart rate having greatly increased by it. His eyes shut tightly at the wonderful feeling of her hand on him, as she began to stroke his cock slowly. He let her do as she pleased for a little while, moaning as his need climbed to higher levels from her caresses to his sensitive skin.

Then just as suddenly as she had begun to touch him, she pulled away completely. His eyes flashed open at the same time as he groaned in disappointment at the loss. Eternity took a few graceful steps back from Elijah, reaching around back of her to tug the ties to her dress loose. She let the light fabric fall into a pool at her feet, revealing her complete nakedness to him. 

She was perfection, he thought as he hungrily gazed at her form. 

In a couple long strides he had her lifted into his arms with her legs wrapped firmly around his waist. His mouth attached itself to hers, their tongues dancing together as he walked them over to one of the couches. Elijah laid her across it with him hovering over Eternity, as they continued to kiss. 

The immortal queen magicked away the rest of his clothes, including his socks and shoes, without prompt. Then she pushed him back, guiding him until he was sitting on the couch with her straddling him. The ethereal beauty gazed at him hotly, while her hand reached between them to grab hold of his cock and guided him into her wet warmth. Eternity sank down onto him slowly until he was buried deep.

Elijah’s hands automatically fell to her hips, ready to help her move over him. However, his lady had other ideas it seemed. She grabbed his wrists in her stronger grip and pulled his hands away from her form. She threaded her fingers through his and pushed his hands back against the couch, holding him there as she began to move over him all on her own. 

Eternity’s playful gaze locked onto his intense one as she rode him steadily. She lifted herself and slammed back down on his cock, over and over again, while he was left to watch helplessly. His hands itched to touch her, and he tried to free himself from her grasp, but she refused to give them back to him. 

Elijah growled at her in displeasure, but she only grinned wickedly at him. Eternity began riding him even faster, until he was tossing his head back against the couch with his eyes screwed shut from the pleasure she brought onto his body. His mouth was agape as he panted breathlessly, feeling the fires of his need climbing higher and higher and higher still.

Finally, Eternity allowed him back one of his hands, guiding it herself to the hidden jewel between her legs. “Touch me, Elijah,” she breathed needfully. “Touch me.”

Elijah did as she beckoned and let his fingers play over her clit rapidly, wanting nothing more than for her to come with him. He was already so close to completion, he could practically taste it. What kind of gentleman would he be, if he didn’t ensure she went with him over the edge?

Then with a few more thrusts downward, it happened. He came with a loud cry with his head thrown back against the couch and his hips spasming as he did. Eternity followed him over the edge, crying out into the air as her walls clamped down on him. 

They both quacked in orgasm and then she slumped against him with her face hidden in the crock of his neck. In the afterglow, Elijah held her to him, stroking her hair with one hand while the other caressed her back beneath the copious amounts of white hair. 

“I love you, Elijah,” she murmured against his neck.

Elijah couldn’t help but to grin into her hair, “And I love you, Sweetheart - always and forever.”

Then, in a playful impulse, he flipped Eternity over to lay back on the couch and proceeded to have his wicked way with her all over again, as he saw fit.
