Sometimes there's honor in distractions...

Elijah groaned at the roll of her hips against him, pressing up against her again. She was warm and wet against him and the only thing in the world he wanted was to bury himself inside of her. Her nails only heightened that, sending shivers over his skin.

Damon watched them both and shifted closer, kneeling next to them. His fingers lifted Rebekah's hair out of the way as he pressed a kiss to the shell of her ear, nibbling a bit before murmuring, "An excellent idea. Do we want to tease him a bit, or should you shift just a bit..." His fingers found the inside of her knee and trailed upward toward her core, the backs of his nails dragging along Elijah's side in turn. "And start this off with a bang?"

"I should hope not." She smirked in response.

Then she leaned in to brush her mouth along Elijah's cheek, drifting to the spot behind his ear so she could give him a soft nuzzle.

"You should try getting some rest, Elijah." She pulled back enough to look at him again.

Elijah cast her a little amused look, leaning into her touch and settling more against her, letting his eyes closed.

"Why am I the one who needs the rest?" He did. Desperately.

Damon did, too, really, but he was fighting it.

"Because you're old." Rebekah replied cheekily, brushing her fingers through his hair soothingly.

Elijah arched an eyebrow at her, before snorting in laughter. "Brat."

Rebekah didn't find it nearly as insulting when he said it and so she laughed after pressing a kiss to his shoulder. "And you love me for it."

[manof-myword.livejournal.com]

"I do," he murmured, pressing a kiss to her temple. "Very much so."

Damon smiled a little, watching them, feeling a tiny pang.

Rebekah seemed to sense the pang that Damon felt as she reached to slide her hand over his, her fingers linking with his own.

Damon smiled at her, lifting her hand to press a soft kiss to her skin. Pleased by the contact, he gave Elijah a little smile, as well.

"Sleep if you need to..."

[itconsumesher.livejournal.com]

Rebekah gave Damon's fingers a gentle squeeze even while nodding in agreement.

"We'll be here when you wake up."

Sleep was something Elijah had done a lot of these past couple of months--it had been his only escape, and sometimes the dreams were good. Tonight, he didn't really feel the need for escape, but for the first time since Lexi left, he thought maybe he could sleep truly peacefully, curled up and tangled with people he cared about, who cared about him.

He gave them both a smile, holding Rebekah a little closer, sinking into the pillows with a sigh.

Damon shifted away just to grab the covers to pull up over them for the extra coziness. He leaned down to kiss Rebekah one more time, then slipped around them to catch Elijah between them, not wanting him to feel alone on either side. He settled again, resnagging Rebekah's hand over Elijah as he settled.

Turning her head slightly to look at Damon, she flashed him a smile, leaning up to return the kiss before she fell back to snuggle down beside Elijah. Tucking her arm under Elijah's, she linked her fingers around Damon's once more while nuzzling her brother softly again.

At the moment she felt rather content and safe, probably for the first time in a long time, and so she was sure she would sleep too. At least for awhile.

Damon watched them both as they snuggled down, and smiled a little at the sight they presented. Two of the most dangerous people in the village, the most deadly predators, and snuggled together like that, sated and sleepy...you'd never guess it.

He sighed a little, pleased at what he'd managed to accomplish for the night, but the beating followed by the healing and sex and everything else was taking a toll on him, too, and he finally let himself drift off a bit.
