"Good morning, Elskan." Elijah whispers, the sound of his voice sending pleasant shivers down her spine. She cuddles closer to Elijah, his arms tightening around her. He kisses the top of her head gently. "Today I am to be with Elena's Aunt Jenna. She is to show me around some of the more historical sites of Mystic Falls."

"Jenna is a very nice person... You won't hurt her will you?" She asked looking up at him. Every time Elijah stares into her beautiful eyes, he feels as if she puts him under a spell and he would have it no other way.

"You have my word, I will not harm her." Elijah reassures her. She smiles and leans up to kiss him. He smiles and meets her half way. He pushes her on her back and climbs over her, his body offering her a comforting warmth. "Will you join us?" He wonders pressing his forehead on hers.

"I would but I have to watch Madelyn and I need to talk to Caroline" Elijah nods not pressuring her to do anything.

"Do you wish for me to stay with you?" He questions a hand coming up to her face, his knuckles brushing against her skin.

"I always want you to stay with me" She pulls him closer to her, he relaxes his body on top of her. His head nuzzles into her neck. One arm wraps around his lower back while the other smooths over his hair. Elijah's heart swells at her statement. "But I can handle Caroline and you told Jenna you would go with her."

"You and Caroline will work things out" Elijah reassures her. "Caroline loves you just as much as you love her."

"I just wish things were simpler" She whispered to him. "We're my friends didn't have to worry about trusting me and I didn't have to worry about trusting them. Where I wouldn't have to worry about you."

"Why do you worry about me?" He asks raising his head to look into her eyes.

"I love my friends but they're so focused on keeping Elena safe that I worry what they'll do to you." She whispers. "It doesn't matter my connection to you, they'll do anything to keep her safe."

"You have nothing to worry about, Elskan" He reassures her. "The only thing that can hurt me is you and I know that even if they're focused on saving Elena, they won't hurt you to get to me."

"Damon is very unpredictable, Elijah" She tells him. "He's alright when Stefan has control of him but now they have a common goal, protect Elena. I don't know how far they'll go."

"Elskan, please relax" He pleads. He places his lips on hers and she instantly responds. "Nothing will happen to you, nothing will happen to Madelyn, nothing will happen to me. Caroline and you will work things out. Everything will be alright."

"I love you, Elijah" She whispers to him. He smiles and kisses her again. He rolls onto his back, pulling her with him.

"I love you so much more, Elskan" He whispers before kissing her nose. She smile widely at him.
