No matter how strong the tension between you and Elijah was, he refused to give in. Entertaining romantic relationships wasn’t something he wanted anymore; not when everyone got hurt in the end.

Everyone got hurt — Tatia, Katherine, even himself. So he refused to have anything happen to you.

But the glances, the swift touches, the innuendos so well made; it made him broke his own promise. He couldn’t stay away from you, not when you felt like the apple in Eden’s garden. Elijah wanted you.

Yes, but love couldn’t be on the table and you knew that — he had told you multiple times; not wanting to lead you on. You didn’t care, not when you had him every nights in your bed, in your arms, between your legs.

Elijah made sure to always remind you, with a shaky voice, with grunts and when everything was done.

“Love is too dangerous, but I just can’t keep myself away from you, {{user}}. Do you understand?” he’d whisper into your ear.
