*So, in case you guys forgot this story is marked at Mature. Now Claire and Elijah have had some steamy scenes but nothing that would require a Mature rating. However, this chapter is mature. If you don't feel comfortable reading it, skip to the very end right now, I'll have a little summary at the end for those of you who don't feel comfortable.*

"Caroline, I want to help you with Matt" Claire said following her sister throughout the house.

"I can handle Matt" Caroline said. "Me and Stefan are looking for him. We'll find him and explain everything."

Caroline had gone to the Grill after Claire reunited with Elijah. There she tried to convince Bonnie and Elena that Elijah was the good guy, that they could trust him. Bonnie was upset they had found a way around her spell and Elena didn't know who to trust. It was obvious the two girls weren't buying what Caroline was telling them no matter how hard Caroline tried.

Eventually Caroline gave up on them. She made it clear where she stood, with her sister. After walking away from them, she ran into Matt. They talked and one thing led to another. Next thing Caroline knows, she's standing on the stage singing her heart out to him. Matt comes up onto the stage and they share the best kiss Caroline's ever had. But of course it's all ruined when a fight breaks out in the Grill over Elena's life. Matt gets mortally injured forcing Caroline to heal him with her blood exposing her as a vampire.

Matt's been missing ever since. Caroline has explained everything that's happened to Claire. The younger twin sister wanted to go and help with Matt but Caroline wasn't having it. Today was the day Elijah is planning on taking Claire out on a date and Caroline was going to make sure that happened.

"Matt's my friend too, Caroline, I want to help." Claire told her. All Claire could think about was when she went off the rails after.... Aaron's death. Matt and Jeremy had been a lifeline during that period and Claire wanted to help Matt now.

"Claire, you and Elijah are going to go on a spectacular date and then spend the night in a beautiful hotel. I helped him plan it and Ill be damned if you don't experience it" Caroline snipped looking at her. "Now, I'm going to deal with Matt. Sarah is going to handle Madelyn. You're going to take a shower and get ready before Elijah gets here. Understand?" Caroline said giving Claire a look saying she wasn't backing down. There was only one person Claire could think of that was more stubborn than herself and that's her twin sister.

"Fine but call me if something happens" Claire said pointing her.

"You have my word, now go! Shoo!" Caroline said pushing her lightly to the bathroom. Claire sighed and took her shower. When she was done, she went to her room and saw a nice dress on the bed. 

Claire held up the dress wondering where they were doing. She slipped it on before looking into the mirror. It was a green with white polka dots. It was long sleeves and the top was a type of elastic that kept the dress up seeing as it didn't go over the shoulders.

"Elijah's here" Caroline said popping into her sisters room. "You look perfect" Caroline grinned at her sister. Claire gave her a little twirl grinning madly. "You're going to have a lot of fun tonight." Caroline assured her sister.

"I trust you." Caroline grinned widely. "I'm nervous" Claire whispered.

"Don't be, you guys were meant to be, remember?" Claire grinned nodding. "Now go get your man" Claire nodded again feeling more excited than she has in a long time.

Claire walked into the living room and smiles at Elijah. He dressed a little more causally but still handsome. He wore a tucked in button up shirt with slacks. 

"Gorgeous" Elijah mutters walking up to her. Elijah grabs Claire's hand and kisses her knuckles, his eyes staring into hers with absolute adortion. "Are you ready, Elskan?" Elijah questioned. Claire nods.

Elijah leads her to the car. He opens the door for her, letting her slip in. Elijah gets in the drivers seat and starts to drive. Claire instantly reaches for his hand and he gives it to her.

"Where are we going?" Claire asks him. He smiled and looks at her.

"Dancing" He tells her. Claire's mind instantly thinks of a club but it doesn't feel like it's Elijah's style. "And no, not clubbing" He said remembering Caroline telling him the difference between where he was taking Claire and a club. He may have been around a long time but he realized, after spending a few hours with Caroline, that he didn't necessarily 'have a life' as Caroline put it. "But it is a bar. Caroline said it would be perfect but if you don't like it-"

"Elijah, relax" Claire said giving his hand a squeeze. She found it sweet that she wasn't the only nervous one for this date. "Caroline knows me the best, I'm sure we're going to have a wonderful time." Elijah smiles and relaxes. 

He leans over and kisses her. She instantly kisses him back. Elijah uses his other senses to drive the car and not crash. Claire pulls away too soon for Elijah's liking but she felt nervous about him being distracted while driving.

"You do know I'm only 17 right, Elijah?" Claire asks looking at him as he pulls into the bar.

"Compulsion is a wonderful thing" Elijah winks at her climbing out of the car. Claire smiles as he speeds around and opens the door for her. He holds his hand out and she takes it. "You look wonderful" He compliments.

"Thank you" Claire mutters kissing his cheek lightly. He grins and leads her inside, easily getting past the bouncer.

"Would you like something to drink?" Elijah asks. 

"I want to dance" She said excitedly. Elijah grinned and let her drag him to the dance floor, unable to deny her anything. He twirls her around and brings her back to him. The song was more upbeat and not really Elijah's style but Claire seemed to be enjoying herself.

He follows her lead, the smile on his face unable to leave as he watched her have fun. She jumped and twirled. Her body moved with the music and she made sure to include him in her dances. It wasn't sexy but it was fun.

All Claire could think about was Elijah. Elijah and the music. She didn't think about Elena and Bonnie, she didn't think about the Salvatore's or Mystic Falls. She just lived in the moment and gave her complete attention to Elijah.

When she got hungry, they took a break and order food. They sat in the same booth, neither of them able to keep their hands off of each other. Elijah whispers in her ear and she curls into his side. He tells her anything she wanted to know. He told her about his past lives, what he thought about the world around them, his dreams and desires.

However, Elijah isn't the type that likes talking about himself for very long. He didn't find himself that interesting. He would much rather live in the now than go through a background story. So, while Claire ate her food he settled on whispering flattering comments and sweet nothings in her ear.

She tried to ignore him wanting to eat but he was impossible to ignore. In fact, once he realized what she was trying to do, he took it as a challenge to gain her attention. He nuzzled his head in her neck from time to time. His lips kissing whatever skin he could get a hold of.

"Elijah" Claire whined. "I'm trying to eat" She muttered. Elijah smirks but retracts away from her. He watches her eat, a small smile on his lips.

The love he holds for her couldn't be described in words. He'd do anything for her. He'd protect her against anybody and anything. He knew if she asked him to do anything, he would do it in a heart beat. He couldn't deny her a thing which made her a very dangerous woman once she realized this. She has the most dangerous creature in the world completely wrapped around her finger, completely submitting to her will.

"I love you Claire Olivia Forbes." Elijah declares. She looks at him and smiles. She could hear the sincerity in his voice, the truth in his eyes. "I've never loved another as I love you." He tells her. Claire smiles shifting even closer to her. Elijah's arm tightens around her waist.

"I love you Elijah Mikaelson" Claire whispers. "Always and Forever" Elijah instantly presses his lips on hers. She smiles and returns the kiss, her hand raising to caress the side of his face.

"Would you like to dance some more, Elskan?" He asks softly.

"I'd like to go to the hotel now" Claire whispers against his lips. Elijah's eyes darken.

"Are you sure?" He whispers. 

"I want to be with you, Elijah" Claire tells him. "In every way possible for all of eternity."

"Eternity is a long time" Elijah whispers. Claire grins.

"On the contrary" Claire mutters. "It's not nearly enough" Elijah grins and pulls her lips to his. Claire presses against him trying to transfer her emotions, her desires into the kiss.

"We should get going" Elijah breaths barely keeping himself under control. Claire smirks and presses her lips against his. He growls and quickly dominates the kiss. She pulls away quickly before he could get too into it. Elijah growls as she grins.

"We should get going" Claire winks at him.

"You shouldn't tease" He whispers in her ear after climbing from the booth himself. Claire just smirks at Elijah and kisses his jaw, he growls feeling his arousal grow. Elijah throws some bills, completely over paying for Claire's meal but he didn't care. All he wanted, all he needed was to get Claire in the car and to the hotel.

Claire went to go to the passenger seat but Elijah pulled her back to him. She looked at him confused but he just smirked. He opened the drivers door and slipped in before pulling her onto his lap.

"Watch you feet" He whispers in her ear. She curls in his lap and closes the door. Claire shuffled nervously but Elijah holds her tightly. "Trust me, Elskan" He whispers in her ear, nibbling at it gently. "I'll always protect you... I'd never put you in harms way" He promises.

"I do trust you." Claire whispers looking in his eyes. "I trust you with my life" He smiles and leans towards her, kissing her gently. She smiles and returns it. He pulls away and turns the car on. The hum of the engine excites Claire as she grins at Elijah deviously.

Elijah drives out of the bar, growling lowly when Claire kisses the side of his neck. He grips the steering wheel with one hand while hold Claire to him tightly with the other. Claire shifts in his lap, thanking her smaller form to be able to straddle him comfortably. 

Claire's dress climbs up her body, resting around her waist. Elijah's arm wraps around her waist pulling her against his chest. Claire continues to assault his neck with her lips. Elijah's hand practically destroys the steering wheel when her teeth nibble at his skin.

Her hips rotate and grind in his lap. Elijah breathes heavily, releasing a few growls here and there as he speeds down the road. He passes car after car not having a care about anybody else other than Claire.

Claire smirks against his skin feeling him growing harder and harder under her lap. She trails her kisses up his neck to slightly below his ear. She leans her head against his, her lips brushing against his ear. Her hot breath sends a shiver down his spine as she whispers in it.

"I want you" She whispers. "I need you, Elijah" She moans his name, her legs pressing against his tighter. Elijah growls barreling into the hotel. He opens the door and she climbs out. He speeds out of the car and presses her against the side. His lips are instantly on hers, his leg forcing it's way between hers. She moans her hands fisting his shirt.

"Behave, little minx" He whispers in her ear. She smirks against his lips. He takes her hands and lowers them away from his chest.

"Where's the fun in that?" She whispers brushing her lips against his but not kissing him. He growls warningly but it just excites her. He drops one of her hands but holds onto the other. He leads her inside the hotel and towards the front desk.

"We have a room for Mikaelson" Elijah told the receptionist. Claire moves in front of him pressing their chests together as the woman looks up their room. Elijah leans down kissing her softly. Claire grins and uses her free hand to rub his back as they kiss. Her hand slowly ventures further and further down. Elijah growls lowly as she squeezes his ass, messaging it.

"I'm not as patient as you, Elijah" Claire whispers moving her lips to his ear. "I want you now" Elijah reaches back and grabs her wrist. He brings it back up front and up to his lips. He kisses it gently.

"Umm.. Here's the... key" The woman mutters awkwardly. Elijah reaches for it.

"Thank you" He tells her but keeps his eyes on Claire. He pulls his beloved to the elevators. The moment they close, he presses her against the wall. She gasps at the suddenness and Elijah instantly covers her mouth with his. "Just a little longer" He whispers. She pouts and he smiles. His nose brushes against her cheek as the elevator opens on their floor. He grabs her hand and leads her to the room.

He had gotten the best room he could find but it didn't matter to Claire. All Claire wanted was Elijah, he was all she needed. The second the doors were closed there was nothing holding either of them back.

Elijah pressed her back against the wall, his leg going back in between her legs. Her hips instantly grinds against him as her hands work on his shirt trying to unbutton it. Elijah takes his shirt and simply rips it off startling Claire. He smirks as he watches her eyes absorb his bare chest.

Her hands rub it delicately. Her eyes then return to his and she smiles at him. She didn't feel nervous. She felt happy. She felt as if this is where she belonged, with Elijah. It felt right.

Elijah's lips returned to her. This kiss more passionate compared to the frantic one they shared when they first entered the room. Elijah wanted to show her how much he loved her, how much he truly cared about her. How he would always look after her, how she would always be first in his life.

His hands rested on her hips for a moment before his fingers lightly grazed her sides, lifting her dress. She shivers against him. Their lips part and she raises her arms. He takes the dress off and throws it somewhere behind him.

"You are absolutely perfect" He tells her. He knew she had insecurities about the way she looked. He wished she didn't because to him, there wasn't a single flaw. She had more curves than she used to and he loved them.

Claire didn't respond. She simply grabbed his face and brought it back to her. He kissed her, pressing her against the wall. Their hands rubbed every inch of the other, they couldn't get enough. The simple touches, the passionate kisses, it just wasn't enough.

In a heart beat Claire's back wasn't against the wall but on the soft bed. Elijah stood just beside it and took his pants off. His eyes hungrily watching her as she moved towards the head of the bed, laying more comfortably.

Once his pants were off he climbs over her. Their lips reattach as he settles between her legs. Claire doesn't remember it happening but one second she was wearing a bra and the next she wasn't. Her head pressed against the pillow as his kisses trail down her body.

Gasps and moans release from her mouth as his lips completely worship her skin. Claire feels his lips kiss along her stomach. She lifts her head, tears coming to her eyes when she sees him kissing along her scar. The scar she received from her C-Section. 

His eyes return to hers. There were so many emotions pooling the darkness. Her heart swelled as he climbed back up her body. He places the gentlest kiss of the night on her lips.

"Perfect. Completely and utterly perfect." He mutters. She smiles looking into his eyes. He leans up, sitting on his knees. His eyes rank her body, his fingers grazing her sides. His thumbs hook around her underwear before pulling it off, leaving her completely naked to him. "Mine" He growls.

Claire can feel a difference in Elijah. It was like the noble and sophisticated Elijah was disappearing. He was being replaced by the vampire in him. The lust filled, primal vampire that desired his mate, that needed his mate. His urge to claim her, to take her, to completely dominate her was starting to take over.

Elijah comes back to Claire. He gently moves her head to the side. He leaves open mouthed kisses along her neck. Claire's heart hammers in her chest as her hands scramble to get his boxer briefs off. Once their off, Claire becomes completely aware of just how big and how hard Elijah is. She moans when he rubs it against her.

Claire releases a gasp when she feels Elijah's fangs elongate. She moves her head more, giving him more room. She trusted him, she knew it wouldn't hurt her. She remembered him telling her how it would feel pleasurable just like her siphoning from him felt pleasurable.

Claire's eyes practically roll to the back of her head as Elijah bites into her neck. Her moans groan louder as he begins to drink from her. His grip on her neck tightens when his instincts take over and he thrusts inside of her.

She cries out feeling as if she was being ripped apart. Elijah's grip on her is almost painfully tight but she doesn't mind. She likes it, she loves it.

The pleasure was so intense she knew she wouldn't last long. His thrusts were strong and swift.  Her nails claw at his back. His fangs retract from her neck, his tongue licking up the excess blood that slipped from the bite wound.

"I'm close... Elijah, I'm close" Claire whimpers. Elijah kisses her shoulder as his thrusts pick up the pace. She whimpers and cries out. Elijah's hand reaches down and furiously rubs her clit quickly sending her over the edge. Elijah quickly follows. He buries deep inside of her and she moans loudly. Her body relaxing, feeling more satisfied than she has her entire life.

Elijah pulls out and rolls onto his back. The two of them take a moment to catch their breath. Elijah glances over at Claire who has a ghost smile on her lips. She meets his gaze and smiles at him feeling extremely tired. 

Elijah felt equally tired and knew it was because the bond was completing. By morning they would be completely bonded and everything would change but for tonight, they would sleep peacefully.

*1. Was that any good? Like at all? I write sex scenes a good amount of times in my books but nobody ever tells me if they're any good. So I don't know if I'm just wasting my time or if you're actually enjoying them. So do me a favor and let me know!

2. SUMMARY! - So in the beginning of the chapter it was mentioned that Caroline failed to convince Bonnie and Elena that everyone is on the same side, that Claire could be trusted and Elijah is a good guy. She then tells them that she'll always choose her sister first. It is also mentioned that Matt finds out about vampires and goes MIA. Claire wants to help look for him but Caroline won't let her. Instead she makes Claire go get ready for her date.

Elijah takes her dancing. Yes it's at a bar but it's somewhere where Claire could have fun and relax. They then go to the hotel and have sex. Elijah feeds from Claire which will mix their scents and warn any vampire or supernatural creature that Claire is his and they need to stay the fuck away. Their bond is completed an it is said that everything will change. You will find out what changes in the next chapter.*
