《Aphrodisiac ✔️(mikaelson soulmate)》Chapter XIII: Pretty Woman
Advertisement
It had been a few days since my bonding with Finn. The guys had seemed to back off for a bit- well actually Klaus left for some kind of issue. Finn and Kol had been following me around, but not too much. Currently I was laying in my bed, my sacred place of peace it had seemed. No one was bothering me. It was a bit weird honestly.
But it ended as soon as I was thinking it was suspicious. A knock on my door caused me to sit up and walk to the door.
"'Lijah?" I questioned as I looked up at him. He offered me a smile.
"I noticed that none of my brothers have snatched you up yet." He pointed out. "Pack a light bag, I'm taking you somewhere." He told me. Leaving no room for questions. Elijah's eyes floated down my body before adding, "Maybe dress comfortable as well." With that he left me there to get ready. I sighed turning around, closing the door before moving to my closet. I waisted no time in getting changed, since I was still in pajamas.
I was so excited for a nice warm day. The chill in the air was keeping me from wearing my tank tops that Rebekah helped me pick out. Which, by the way, Rebekah left for adventure a few days ago. She promised to return to see me often. I'm so happy for her.
I picked up my little gym bag that I had used when I was on the run, throwing in some fancy underwear and a set of clothes. I had a feeling what was going to go down this weekend. I won't lie, I was a bit nervous. Knowing what would happen made me all warm and tingly, but made my heart pump a bit fast in anticipation of it. Zipping up my bag, I made my way out of my room.
"So where are we going?" I questioned, glancing over at him. Elijah was driving with one hand as his other hand held mine. It was a small sentiment, but I loved it. Made me feel like he loved me, even if it was too soon for that. Elijah smiled over at me, keeping his eyes on the road as we drove past the Mystic Falls sign.

"I thought we could go out of the town for a bit. Just you and I. Maybe explore a new city or something of the sorts." I grinned at him.
"That'll be fun." I agreed. "Did you tell the others we were going somewhere?" I questioned. Just now thinking about how I didn't say bye to the guys that were home. Elijah shook his head.
"I'll give them a call once we stop at the hotel to drop off our stuff." I raised my brow at him.
"They won't be happy about that." I hummed. Elijah smirked, glancing at me.
"And yet you chose not to say anything before we left. Do you enjoy pushing our buttons?" He asked. I smiled, biting my bottom lip. Elijah glanced to me, his eyes looking to my lips for a split second before he stared back at the road, his jaw tight.
"Am I pushing your buttons right now, Elijah?" I questioned in a lower tone. I had seen that look before. Elijah pursed his lips a bit before looking back at me.
"Are you wishing for me to respond with words or actions?" Elijah questioned. My tongue darted out, wetting my lips as I squeezed his hand slightly.
"I suppose that depends on you." I smiled in return. Elijah shook his head with a smirk as he continued to drive. His hand holding mine tightly, not in a painful way though. But in a way that I knew he chose action.
Elijah pulled into the parking lot of what seemed to be an extremely expensive hotel. Pulling up to the awning, I realized he had literally picked this place on purpose. A man took the car after someone took our bags. Elijah was handing bills to the men who assisted us. I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. I had my fingers crossed for the giant jacuzzi tub.
"Ah! Mr. Mikaelson! Welcome! Welcome!" The man at the counter greeted. I raised my eyebrow, looking over to Elijah. Had he been here before? "We have your suite made up all ready to go for you and your missus. Please enjoy the complimentary wine that has been already delivered on our behalf." The man spoke. I didn't want to think that he had brought other women here before me. That made my stomach drop slightly as Elijah placed his hand on the low curve of my back, guiding me to follow the attendant to the elevator. Our luggage had already been taken up.

"Thank you, but I know my way up." Elijah spoke up as we entered the elevator and closed the door before the attendant could enter with us. I glanced up at him, my brow arched in question. Elijah glanced down at me. "Tell me, Octavia. Have you ever been in a Dominant relationship before?" Elijah questioned, looking straight at me. No shame. I choked on my spit slightly, nodding slightly. I mean... I did have something similar going with Niklaus- although I was the dominant one there.
"I mean, I like to think of myself as a switch, I suppose." I explained. It was true. That day Elijah took me to my car to get my clothes, when he praised me. I enjoyed it greatly. But I also enjoyed taking the control from Niklaus. I felt like he needed it taken from him.
"Interesting." Elijah nodded. His jaw slightly ticked.
"Are you going to Fifty Shades of Grey me right now? Offer up some rules and put me in my place?" I asked in a humored voice. I was laughing slightly at the thought. But when I looked up to see Elijah already looking at me with a serious face, I knew it wasn't a laughing matter.
"Fifty Shades of Grey?" He questioned. Obviously not understanding the term- movie I mentioned. But he seemed to understand when I said the word rules.
"It's a movie about dominance and submitting to your lover." I explained simply. Not wanting to ruin the actual movie for him in case I could talk him into watching it. I would love to play out some of those roles.
"Then yes. I suppose I do have some rules for you." The elevator dinged as the doors opened. Elijah kept his hand at the curve of my back, leading me off the elevator and down the hall to a door. It was literally the only door on the floor. Did he rent out a penthouse or something?? He slid a keycard, opening the door and my eyes widened. Walking into the room- nope, not a room. More than a room. I twirled around, trying to take this all in.
"Oh, my god.. I'm living as Vivian Ward." I muttered, blinking in the atmosphere. Elijah walked in, his eyebrows raised.
"Vivian Ward?"
"A prostitute that was hired to escort a rich man." I explained. Probably should have made it clear that it was a movie. But before I could say something, Elijah was in front of me.
"You are not a prostitute or an Escort." He told me. Like he was making it very clear that I had no choice. I placed my hands on his chest since he was actually standing super close to me.
"It's..a- another movie." I clarified. Elijah titled his head at me.
"You really enjoy movies." Elijah pointed out. I nodded timidly. My bottom lip moving in between my teeth for the second time that day. His eyes moved instantly to my lips, eyes darkening. Moving his fingers to grab my chin gently before moving his thumb over my lip. Pulling it from my teeth. "Only I should be biting your lips." He whispered. My lips stayed parted as he leaned closer to me. My breathing was coming out shaky and sporadic at this point in anticipation. "Maybe we should go explore the town."
"Maybe you should just kiss me."

Sustaining the King's Life
On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid. ** 1-2 chapters a day (GMT+8) ** (The artwork belongs to me.

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
