When I woke up the next morning I decided to pack my things, still leaving a decent amount of my things in Ric's apartment. I left most of my art supplies, some of my clothes and most of my books. I decided that I could take those things at a later date. I also thought it was good to use Ric's apartment as a spare space for me to take time away from my mates if I needed it.
I showered before curling my hair and getting changed. I got changed into a white crop top and washed out ripped jeans.
3rd person pov
When Lexi arrived at the Mikaelson Mansion, Kol was the first one to greet her as she got out of her car. He pulled her into a hug, satisfying his inner animal who had been craving the touch of his mate again.
"Hello, darling" Kol said as he tightened his arms around his mate's waist.
"Hello Kol" Lexi said as she began to hug him back not entirely sure of the reason behind the gesture. Kol then began to nuzzle his head into the crook of Lexi's neck. The scent of his mate pleasing his inner animal.
"Kol, get off of her for God's sake" Klaus said as he came outside with his other siblings. Kol let out a low rumble, tightening his grip and nuzzling his head further into her neck. Being aware of their presence, Lexi moved her hands to Kol's sides before tapping twice with one hand and then trying to push him off. The last thing Kol wanted was to make his mate uncomfortable so he let her push him off with a small whine. Lexi then turned to her other mates and smiled.
After the brothers practically competed to carry her bags, in order to be 'most gentlemanly' as Kol put it, they showed her to the room should would be using for the time being. This was then followed with plenty of flirty remarks from Klaus and Kol about using their bed but was eventually shut down when Elijah almost dragged all of them from the room claiming Lexi needed time to settle in and that she could come out when she was ready.
This left Lexi alone in her room. The first thing she did was a privacy spell, the last thing she needed was five original stalkers. She then looked around the room. It was far more impressive than any of the rooms she had stayed in before, not that they were even possible to compare. This room had a queen sized bed, en suite and walk in closet.
A WALK IN CLOSET
"I thought that was just a movie thing." Lexi muttered, not that anyone could hear her.
As soon as Lexi opened the door to the closet she was taken aback. It was the same size if not larger than the room she had stayed in with one of her foster families.
One of the bad families.
She then proceeded to put all of her belongings away, toiletries in the bathroom, books on the shelf and the few art supplies she had brought in a dresser which she wasn't going to use for clothes. The last thing Lexi had to put away was clothes, and there were a lot of them. It took her over an hour to put all of her clothes away. As soon as she finished the task, she practically sprinted out of the closet, her claustrophobia beginning to kick in.
"I already spent 15 years in the closet" Lexi began mumbling, "no need to spend any more time." Lexi checked her phone and saw a message from Damon saying they lost the stakes. Lexi rolled her eyes at that, knowing they would want her to get the stakes back. There were many people Lexi regretted telling about the strength of her powers, the Salvatores were at the top of that list, always using her, if not Bonnie for their magic.
She also saw that it was just after noon and decided that because of skipping breakfast she should see if the Mikaelsons had any food.
When Lexi came down stairs, the house was empty, like no one. No Kol shamelessly flirting with her or Elijah acting like a third parent. Nothing.
It's fine
They do have their own lives to attend to
She then began to wander around the house to hopefully find a kitchen. She found herself on the first floor, roaming around when she heard a voice from behind her.
"Looking for something, Love?"
Klaus
"A kitchen" Lexi said hopefully, "food, more specifically." Klaus smiled before walking up to her.
"Follow me" he said. He then led her to one of the kitchens. "Take a seat" he said gesturing to the bench seats at the kitchen island. He then went to the other side of the island and asked, "Feel like anything in particular?".
"Preferably something that I can be eating in the next 2-3 minutes" Lexi said.
"Sandwich?"
"Please"
As Klaus turned to begin making Lexi's food, she asked, "Where is everyone?"
"Threatening the Salvatores" Klaus deadpanned.
Lexi faked shock, "And you're not there."
"I'd much rather be here with you." he said turning to wink at her before turning back to her food.
"Why do you guys have so much- human food?" Lexi asked as she glanced at the pantry from behind Klaus. "Weren't you all turned before food actually tasted good?"
"Yes, but you weren't" Klaus said before handing her the sandwich and smirking his signature smirk at her. Lexi lowered her head lightly to the blush and smile that was creeping into her face.
When Lexi brought her head back up to begin eating, she flicked her hair out of the way, from her neck to her back. Not missing Klaus' gaze which lingered on her neck. Lexi was confused by the action since the Original family would hardly be at a shortage of blood bags. Elijah's words replayed in her head. More specifically, the third step of the mate bond.
Klaus then snapped his gaze away from her neck and began cleaning up. When Klaus finished cleaning up, Lexi had just finished her sandwich.
"Do you want to do it?" Lexi questioned, catching Klaus off guard.
"Do what, love?" Klaus said confused by his mate's question.
"The activation or whatever" Lexi said, Klaus was confused as to why his mate was so open to him biting her. As if reading his mind she said, "Come on, I saw you eye-fucking my jugular."
"I was not 'eye-fucking your jugular'" Klaus said, slightly embarrassed by his mate's observation. His inner animal however, desperately wanting to take her up in her offer.
"Okay, fine. We won't activate the bond." Lexi said nonchalant knowing it would annoy Klaus.
"No" Klaus said loud and quickly. "No" his said, his voice quieter this time. "We can activate the bond." He said trying to suppress a grin that grew on his face as he walked around the counter to his mate.
"Here?" Lexi questioned skeptically glancing at the surrounding area. Before she could look back at Klaus, she felt a fast breeze and large hands on her waist. When everything stopped moving she was sitting on a lounge, straddling Klaus.
Wait,
WHAT
Klaus looked up at Lexi how she imagined a predator would look at it's prey. His warm hands brushed along her neck as he moved her hair out of his way, tilting his head slightly as if asking for permission. Lexi snaked her hand around to move her hair to one side, not breaking eye contact. The sensation of his warm breath on the side of her neck caused her to shudder as she tilted her head, giving him permission the permission her craved. Klaus moved his head forward, hovering it over her pulse point. She practically heard him smirk as her breath hitched.
Klaus peppered kisses along the right side of her neck, around her pulse point, throat and even start of her jawline.
"Is this okay?" He whispered in her ear. His accent showing through.
"Yeah" Lexi breathed out overwhelmed by her strange desire for him to bite her.
Klaus then placed a few more kiss just above her pulse point before sinking in his fangs. The sharp sensation caused Lexi to twitch slightly. Klaus wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling their chests together. The painful sensation went away and was quickly replaced with an almost euphoric feeling. She bit her lip to quieten a moan that escaped her lips.
The taste of his mate's blood overwhelmed Klaus, his inner animal overcome with ecstasy. Her warm blood pooled in his mouth. The sweet taste emitted a low groan from Klaus, sending vibrations through her. He tightened his grasp on his mate territorially. After a moment he reluctantly removed his fangs from her.
Lexi whimpered lightly as he licked the excess blood, missing the sensation his fangs brought. When their eyes met they were both practically panting. Klaus still with his yellow eyes and black veins.
"I believe it's your turn, Love" Klaus said.
