———————————————————————————————————

Three days had passed by quickly. After a short ceremony performed by his brother Kol, Eternity became Eternity Mikaelson, Elijah’s wife. There had been a grand celebration afterwards, full of dancing and drinking and laughter. It had been a happy night for the entire Mikaelson clan, as they welcomed in their newest member into their ranks. 

Then at the conclusion of the party, Elijah had taken Eternity to bed as he had wanted to since finding her in the forest days before. Knowing she was a virgin and therefore untouched, he took his time with her. He had been a gentle lover, being sweet and caring, as he stripped her of the lacy wedding gown and laid her upon the bed, where he laid kisses all over her body with slow sensuality that had her panting and moaning his name.

To make her more comfortable, he let he explore his own body. He encouraged it by letting her undress him and touch him as she saw fit, guiding her gently as to how to properly caress him every now and again. 

Then when it came time to join their bodies for that first time, Elijah distracted Eternity with a hot kiss that was all tongue, as he pushed into her quickly with one hard thrust. It had been uncomfortable, if the cry he muffled with his mouth and the way she seized beneath him were any indications. However, after a slow start, he had her screaming and begging for more. So quickly had she become addicted to their intimacy that they ended up making love all night long and well into the morning.

In the two years that followed, they had sex as often as possible with Elijah showing Eternity all the different ways of pleasure until she was accustomed to it all. Once she had become completely comfortable with intimacy, he discovered that the ethereal beauty enjoyed pain with her pleasure, letting him be as rough as he wanted, and more so, she preferred him playing the dominant to her submissive, taking her as he saw fit. 

They even discovered that she orgasmed immediately whenever he got carried away and instinctually bit her neck with his fangs, drinking her blood that sustained him like no other without killing her in the process. Yes, she was exquisite to the highest degree.

Not only did they bond sexually, but they grew closer in the more mundane sense too. Elijah enjoyed doting on Eternity, cooking for her, teaching the piano to her, reading from Shakespeare, and ensuring she wanted for nothing while in his care. He was a good husband, whom grew to love his wife deeply and he knew she had grown to love him too. 

He had never been happier, but as usual in his life, a dark cloud formed over his happiness.

It had started small, with an argument after Eternity made the request to have Elijah remove the binds that kept her his prisoner. He of course refused to with the same excuse as before - that she needed to prove her loyalty to him and his family before he would consider it. 

She had countered that if he truly loved her as she knew he did that he would trust her to remain by his side. Again, he had calmly refused her. When his wife tried one more time, Elijah grew coldly angry, issuing a dark threat of abuse if she carried on anymore about it.

Eternity had fallen submissively silent after that, and at the time, he had thought that the matter was settled. However, it was not. In retaliation, she had slipped away into the night and attempted an escape. She had done this to show him that if he was not going to to free her, then she’d find her own way to freedom. This escape attempt had been her first of several. 

Of course, she hadn’t gotten far since her powers were bound and she could not use enough of them to spirit herself far enough away to escape him for good. Elijah had hunted her down, finding her a few towns north of Mystic Falls, and dragged her back home. He had locked her away in their rooms as punishment until he saw fit to end her confinement. In truth, while he had been furious with her for trying to run away, at the same time, he had enjoyed the chase - the hunt. He was a predator after all and with Eternity as his prey, what wasn’t there to enjoy?

“You may bind my powers, you may punish me for escaping, you may try to break me,” she had told him after he returned home with her that first time, “but you will find you’ll never keep me here. I will run and run again until you concede to release me, until you give me my freedom. After all, if you will not trust me, love, when up until now I have done nothing to not deserve your trust, then why should I remain? Why should I stay with a man who refuses to love me enough to trust me and grant me my freedom?”

His lovely bride made several more attempts to escape him with him giving chase and recapturing her. However, she only ever made the escape attempts after she pleaded with him to grant her freedom, promising to remain by his side if he did with him refusing her, time and time again.

Then a terrible event occurred that pushed their feud over the edge. Elijah couldn’t be sure if she had been trying to make another break for it or not, as they had not argued over her freedom, prior to this potential escape attempt. However, Eternity had snuck away in the night, going into the woods behind the Mikaelson mansion. 

Niklaus had been the one to catch her that time instead of him. His wife had been with a group of witches from the very coven whom were sworn enemies of the Originals. His little brother had overheard the spell casters promise the ethereal beauty to grant her escape from what they viewed as her captors, if she aided them in ridding Mystic Falls of the powerful vampire family.

His little brother had intervened and threatened to tell Elijah of Eternity’s secret rendezvous with the enemy coven and therefore, lose any chance of gaining freedom,  if she did not return to the mansion with him. Because she feared what her husband might do if he did discover this supposed criminal act, she had gone back with him and for a long time, the older Original was none the wiser to this supposed act of betrayal.

The only reason why Elijah knew of it now was because of another event that occurred which had brought it all out in the open. 

The Originals had heard that the same coven Eternity had encountered were planning on staging a revolt since getting the immortal woman on their side had failed to bear fruit. Therefore, in typical Mikaelson fashion they had attacked first, before the witches could move against them, killing all, except for one, whom Niklaus had planned on torturing and then killing, to leave as an example to any others whom would dare to act against them.

Eternity had come down into the basement beneath the mansion as Niklaus was pouring lighter fluid on the still very alive witch, whom he had tied to a wooden chair. She had heard the agonizing screams of the poor creature and had come to investigate. When she had seen what Elijah’s little brother was planning, she had pleaded with Elijah himself to stop it, to find another way. 

It was here that the hybrid revealed the supposed truth of that secret meeting to his big brother, claiming that his darling wife had sided with the witches, their enemy, which was why she was now attempting to save the witch from her fate. Elijah hadn’t wanted to believe it, but the look of guilt and then fear that crossed her face had convinced him at the time that what Niklaus had said was true. His heart broke and his anger flared to life.

Eternity tried to tell him that it wasn’t true. She even tried to explain what had actually happened, but he wouldn’t hear it. Instead, in an act of cruelty, he ordered Niklaus to burn the witch after he had grabbed his wife to make her watch the terrified woman die. Both screamed and struggled, with only one of them perishing in flames. 

When the witch was dead, Elijah released his wife and she spun around, striking him across the face hard. The ethereal beauty slung verbal abuse at him, just before she made a break for it, running from the basement and out the front door, before either brother could register what had happened. By the time, they realized what had happened, Eternity had somehow done what she hadn’t been able to before - disappear without a trace. 

At first, he had thought she had managed to go to a place where he couldn’t follow, but in the days that came, Elijah’s many contacts started buzzing about a strange white-haired woman that was traveling east. He realized that she hadn’t left the planet, as he had initially thought, but had gotten further away than she had been able to in the past. 

Immediately, he began the hunt anew. The predator in him howled with fury and excitement, as he went after his prey yet again. 

For months had Eternity cleverly stay ahead of him, knowing he’d be coming after her. She gave him a good chase across several continents and back again, but she had begun to slow down, lose momentum and that was what lead him to finally catch up to her, at last. 

Now Elijah had her in sight on those Paris streets. Finally, he’d reclaim her to punish her for giving him the runaround and then to take her home where she belonged.

As the ethereal woman moved through the crowds while constantly looking over her shoulder, he kept up with her, staying hidden on the rooftops until he was forced to take to streets. Still, even at ground level, he remained in the shadows, stalking her closely as she finally made a terrible move and went inside a rather luxurious hotel. 

Keeping a good distance, Elijah followed her, watching with an unmovable gaze as to find out exactly which floor she was heading to. He watched and waited. Once he had the required information, he sped at that supernatural pace of his to get to her destination just as she did. 

As Eternity slipped into one of the rooms on the fifth floor, he was there silently slipping inside just behind her like a shadow. He stayed by the door as he watched her move further into the room in an agitated fashion, as if she were nervous or afraid. Then she froze, a signal that she knew she wasn’t alone in the room. 

Elijah grinned with his hands casually in his pants pockets, while she slowly turned with wide, frightened eyes to face him. Her breath hitched as she backed away. 

Like the predator he was, he anticipated his prey’s movements and intercepted before she could get far, casually moving toward her until the last second where he sped toward her and grabbed her by the arms tightly to keep her from trying to flee him. 

His wife struggled against him and then in desperate to put distance between them, she slapped him across the face to force him to let her go. He didn’t release her as she had hoped he would, however. 

Instead, Elijah gazed venomously down at her and growled, “I really wish you’d cease doing that, Sweetheart. I’ve never raised my hand to you and I’d greatly appreciate it, if you’d extend me that same courtesy.”

Eternity settled then and it seemed as if she wasn’t going to try striking him again. However, she glared at him and quietly retorted, “If you don’t like it, then it would be in your best interest to let me go.”

“Is that a threat?” He smirked, impressed with her bravery. 

She swallowed thickly in nervousness before she confidently nodded, “It is.”

Elijah chuckled darkly, “I do admire your spirit, my lovely wife, but I’m afraid that I will not be letting you out of my grasp, not until we’ve had a little chat.”

Not one to be kept down, in an unexpected twist, Eternity showcased her fighting prowess as she maneuvered herself out of his grasp and then proceeded to roundhouse kick him in the chest, sending him flying backwards across the large room. She didn’t stop there as she moved across the room toward him, looking wildly feral as she engaged him in a fierce hand to hand confrontation. 

The Original was thankful for the binds that still adorned her wrists, because that kept the playing field even or else she would have easily overtaken him. As it was, he kept up with her, blocking her every strike, while trying to gain the upper hand without resorting to raising his hand to her. He bided his time as he carried on blocking her attempts to strike him, waiting for the opportunity to present itself to subdue his feisty wife.

Then it came. 

Elijah acted quickly, grabbing hold of her arm as she tried for a punch to his face and pulled her forward to unbalance her. Afterwards, he swept her legs out from under her, sending her backwards. Finally, at last second, he spun her around so that she landed face down onto the plushy carpet with her arms forced behind her back in his one hand while he straddled her legs to keep her there. 

“Are you quite done, Sweetheart?” He said with amusement, while breathing heavily. 

She didn’t say anything in response.

Elijah snickered slightly, as he adjusted his hold on her. He released Eternity quickly to turn her over onto her back and then pinning her hands to the floor with his own as he straddled her waist and leaned over her. He enjoyed the mix of defiance, rage, fear, and lust in her sapphire eyes, as she gazed up at him bravely. 

“You’ve sent me on quite the chase, my sweet Eternity,” he murmured to her, “but at last, you are back in my grasp and I -.”

“I didn’t betray you,” she blurted in a panicked rage. “I didn’t. I wouldn’t.”

Elijah‘s gaze softened, but only briefly, before it darkened again. “Yet, you fled from me,” he murmured gruffly, “forcing me to hunt you down, as if you were guilty of the crimes put against you.”

“Elijah, I -.”

He silenced her with a passionate kiss, his tongue diving into her mouth to taste her thoroughly. She was divine and he’d be a liar if he said he hadn’t missed being so near her. However, he couldn’t let himself grow sentimental, not quite yet anyway. 

“You will be quiet,” he growled as he pulled away to look at her. “You’re in enough trouble as it is. We do not need that wicked tongue of yours to make matters worse.”

Eternity didn’t try to speak again. Instead, just as he was going to explain a truth he discovered, she acted foolishly and reignited their fight. Somehow finding strength, she managed to throw Elijah off of her, sending him across the room once again, and was back on her feet seconds later. She attacked him for s second time, leaving him to try and regain control over the situation.

Once more, they were engaged in battle, much to Elijah’s irritation. His wife refused to submit without a fight it seemed, but his ire over her insistence to be physically confrontational fueled his inner beast - the alpha, causing it to roared to life with her continued defiance. It called for him to make her submit by any means necessary, to show her just who was in control between the two of them. Yet, he was too level-headed to let that baser side have it’s violent way. Elijah didn’t want to hurt her, only make her stop resisting him.

Tired  of her insistence to fight, he moved quickly to spin Eternity off balance and then slammed her forward into the nearest wall, gripping the back of her neck tightly to keep her still. When she carried on struggling, his instinct to dominate came forth. With a deep growl, he pulled her hair away from the side of her neck and then, letting his vampire visage out, he sank his fangs into the pale column. 

The ethereal beauty gasped cried out loudly into the room in pained pleasure. The sweet scent of her arousal immediately attacked Elijah’s nose, while the delicious taste of her blood filled his mouth, and it only drove him further into his baser self. He was in a state that was all instinct and nothing else now.

With an animalistic growl, he reached for the long maxi dress she wore and gripped it in one hand as he tore the flimsy fabric off of her body. Once the ruined dress was tossed aside, Elijah pulled her hips back away from the wall so that she was bent over slightly. Then he moved his hand around to dip between her legs and touch the slick wetness he found there. 

Eternity groaned and pushed back against him needfully, suddenly lost to her own baser self it would seem.

Robbed of intimacy in the months of hunting her, Elijah was quite impatient. If simply intimidating her would get her to submit to him, then perhaps this more drastic and pleasurable move would. 

Therefore, he quickly removed his hand from between Eternity’s legs and deftly undid his pants one handedly, pushing his clothes out of the way just enough to allow him to finally take her. Without pause, he lined up with her entrance and slammed into her with one hard thrust. He threw his head back, dislodging his fangs from her neck, and groaned loudly, while she moaned and began to plead with him when he didn’t immediately begin to move. 

Elijah grinned wickedly, but didn’t deny her. He was too lost to his own need to tease her for any length of time. So, he began to move within her, setting a hard and punishing pace. He kept his hold on her neck to keep her submissive to him, while biting it again with his human teeth instead of his fangs.

Because of how in need they both were, he knew neither of them would last long. He carried on slamming into her over and over again brutally, climbing higher and higher in pleasure. He listened as Eternity moaned and begged him to finish her, telling him in broken verbalization that she was close to falling over the edge.

It didn’t take much more before they were falling over the edge together, crying out into the room as they both came. Eternity’s body seized as her walls clamped down on his hardened length as she did, while he emptied himself into her. It was blindingly euphoric and his body felt like jelly as a result.

Feeling his legs about to give out, Elijah tugged his wife away from the wall, then turned to slide down it until he was sitting on the plush carpet with her cradled in his lap. He held her to him, thankful that she finally lost the fight in her. 

“Sweetheart,” he murmured into her hair, once he could muster the ability to speak. “I want you to know that fighting me was unnecessary, because I already knew you didn’t betray me or my family.”

Immediately, Eternity pulled back to look at him curiously, “You do? How?”

“After you ran away, Niklaus confessed that he didn’t actually know what had been going on, when he stumbled upon you with the witch coven,” he explained. “So, I went in search of answers, going to the coven to ask them what had happened that night. They explained that they had tried to recruit you to aid them in their revolt against us, but you had threatened them with the removal of their ability to do magic, if they dared to make a move against our family. It was then that my brother stumbled upon the scene and chose to take it in a whole other direction in the form of a false accusation based on his own mistrusting paranoia.”

His wife looked astonishingly at him. Then her expression turned into one of joyful relief. She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him passionately with reignited heat. 

“You were trying to prove yourself, weren’t you?” Elijah murmured against her lips between kisses. “You were attempting to prove your loyalties and I ended up driving you away, when I turned an accusing gaze upon you, when I failed to let you explain yourself. I apologize, Sweetheart.”

Eternity kissed his lips again and then replied, “It’s alright. You know now, that’s what matters. Besides, you’re not the only one failing to let their spouse explain.”

He smiled softly, “Yes, we are cut from the same cloth it seems there. My darling, you’ve more than proven yourself. Therefore, I have decided that you shouldn’t be kept in a cage or on a leash any longer. I am granting you your freedom.”

Taking her wrists in his hands, he removed the golden bracelets from them, pocketing the jewelry in his suit jacket. Though he wasn’t going to suppress her anymore in every day life, that didn’t mean he couldn’t find more entertaining reasons to use them on her. 

Eternity was overjoyed as she watched him remove her shackles. Once more she pounced on him, kissing him breathlessly. It wasn’t long before things took a heated turn, especially as she used her unhindered magic to remove his clothing and transport them to the more comfortable king sized bed. 

She sat straddled in Elijah’s lap with her legs curled around him and her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. The ethereal beauty wasted no time in lifting herself and then descending upon his still hardened cock, taking him back into her body. 

Together, they groaned and rocked unhurriedly, enjoying the feeling of being joined. They kissed hotly, as they held to each other, with their tongues intertwining and mirroring the rhythm of their hips, as they once more began to dance as one. 

“I’m sorry,” Eternity gasped as they began to climb in pleasure again. “I’m sorry for running away and for every time I struck you. I just thought - I believed -.”

“Shhh, Sweetheart,” he hushed her gently, “We’ve both made mistakes, but it’s over now. We can move on, do better. Together. I love you, Eternity.”

His wife grinned happily. “I love you, Elijah,” she breathed as she kissed him slowly, over and over again. “I love you!”

Soon, they were lost to their joint passion all over again. They began to rock harder, at a faster pace, as they felt their ends approaching. Their mouths joined together in the continued matching  rhythm to their love making. 

Then the end came and once more, they were coming together with gasping cries that echoed around the room. Eternity clung to him as she clamped down on his cock, while he once again lost himself to instinct and buried his fangs into her neck, causing her to orgasm a second time in close succession to the previous one. 

“Elijah!” She shouted, clutching him tighter as he drank from her.

Once the quakes of his orgasm subsided, Elijah released her throat and leaned back to gaze at the sated way she looked back at him. He reached up to brush back her hair from her face and then cupped the side of her neck tenderly as he contently smiled at her. He chastely kissed her lips, before resting his forehead against hers. 

They didn’t talk for a long while, only held to each other in their quiet happiness to be reunited.

“Elijah,” Eternity murmured finally, leaning back to gaze at him lovingly. “I want you to know that I promise to stay with you always. No more running or hiding. No more rebellion. I am yours. I will stand by you and yours forever. I give you my word on that.”

Elijah smirked wickedly then and proceeded to push the ethereal beauty back onto the bed with him still lodged inside her as he leaned over her. Still hard, despite having orgasmed twice, he began to move all over again slowly. 

“While I am glad to hear it, Sweetheart,” he said, “I have to say, I do not mind it if you feel the need to run. So long as you know that I’ll always give chase. In truth, the predator in me actually enjoys making you it’s prey. It could be a rather fun game to participate in every now and again, don’t you think?”

Eternity shivered pleasurably and then grinned at him playfully, “Oh yes, sounds like great fun: the predator and the prey, but do not be surprised if I don’t turn the tables on you, my love, and make you the prey.”

“Sounds lovely. Though perhaps, when we get home, we should make Niklaus our prey for all the trouble he caused,” Elijah suggested. “I do believe he’s in desperate need of being hunted.”

“Yes,” she nodded eagerly, “We shall be the predators and he the prey, a change I certainly look forward to.”

They burst out into gentle laughter then, with nothing but joy and passion between them. The hunt was over, for which Elijah was glad. At last, the predator had claimed his prey, for good this time. Now, nothing would ever take Eternity from him again. She was his and he was hers - always and forever.

The End
