Prologue

Klaus kissed Caroline passionately, surprising her with the intensity. He had been wanting to kiss her with this much feelings, not like the first times. Caroline moaned into the kiss never feeling more loved.

"I have strong feelings for you Caroline." Klaus said out of breath as they parted. Caroline kept her eyes closed as she leaned in again, capturing his lips with hers. They were at her bedroom, it was almost midnight. Neither one of them wanted to go with their feelings but they couldn't hold it anymore. Klaus began to kiss down her neck as he backed her all the way towards the bed. Caroline fell back on the bed, looking up as Klaus started at her with so much lust and love.

"I want you." He stated in a husking tone before climbing on top of her going after her front strings to untie her dress. Just when he was about to get them all off, Caroline pushed him away and she quickly stood up. Klaus stared at her in confusion, he thought that she wanted him as well.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked her standing up. Caroline shook her head as she touched her red swollen lips.

"We can't do this my lord." She stated out of breath while her chest rose and fell. Klaus walked towards her and he touched her cheek gently.

"Why sweetheart?" He questioned giving her small and tender kisses along her neck. Caroline's eyes fluttered close at the good sensation it brought. She didn't even know why and how it happened for a matter, but she fell for him. She couldn't stand seeing him kiss Katerina anymore and she had to tell Klaus. That's what lead them to this situation.

She then opened her eyes as she moved away once again. Klaus followed her with his gaze until she finally stopped pacing around. "You are with Katerina, lord Niklaus—I can not do this to my master. She will leave me with out a job and I need this. I need this for my family." She spoke as tears began to spill from her eyes.

"But I can keep you and your family stable. Just accept that I want to be with you." He pleaded catching her once again. He moved a strand of hair away from her face.

"You love Katerina, don't lie. She has told me numerous times and ways that you have proven it to her." Caroline spat moving away from him again, turning to face him with her back. "You should get going to her, she awaits." She added. Klaus shook his head placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Why make it more difficult love?" He asked moving closer to her. Caroline's breath hitched as she felt his breath on her neck.

"Please my lord." She moaned. She wanted him, that was for sure, but she couldn't. It would be out of character and it would ruin her reputation even more. She would never find another job if she sleeps with the lord now.

"Don't fight what you feel." He cooed moving her hair out of the way and placing small and loving kisses on the back of her neck. Caroline was holding to the last of her willpower—she didn't want to do something she would regret later.

She shook her head and then she pushed him away. "No, my lord!" She exclaimed. "I will not be your mistress, to just fool around with when you please. I am not like that, and I will never be that way not even if I-" She stopped her ranting as she covered her mouth. Tears began to fill in her eyes at how much effect he had on her.

"Love, you mean more to me than just a play thing." He assured trying to reason with her. "I want to be with you." He added getting dangerously close to her once again.

"You want, but can you assure me that you will?" She asked as the tears began to flow down. "Would you leave Katerina for me?!" She questioned staring at him with hurt eyes. Klaus stopped his movements as he rethinking his decisions. He wanted to be with her more than ever but he had to keep up with Katerina if he wanted to go through the sacrifice.

"I—I'm not quite sure what you are asking of me?" Klaus uttered scratching the back of his head. Caroline shook her head as more tears fell from her eyes. She knew he would pick Katerina, and she was a fool for thinking otherwise. She is the maid after all, and nothing more important.

"All I want is for you to go and leave me alone." She whispered as she dropped her eye sight. Klaus opened his mouth but nothing came out but a nervous laugh.

"You don't mean that." He breathed out, looking at her with pleading eyes. Caroline kept quiet waiting for him to leave the bedroom. "Caroline, love." He pleaded raising his hand to touch her cheek but she moved away.

"I want for you to leave, my lord. You have no business here." She uttered.

"But-"

"Please my lord, you have already made your decision to stay with Katerina, and I'm fine with that." She stated with her tears still falling. "I don't even know why it crossed my mind that you would actually care for me. I'm nothing, I'm just a maid." She whispered. Klaus' jaw clenched at her words, he hated that she felt so useless.

"Don't say that Caroline—you are wonderful and I can't emphasize enough how much I want to be with you but you won't take me." He stated cupping her face in her palms. She looked up at him and before she could stop him, Klaus leaned in, robbing a kiss from her lips. Caroline wanted to pull him away but she just wanted to cherish the moment before she had to ignore him.

Caroline moaned and Klaus took the opportunity to deepen the kiss as he grabbed her by the back of the neck and he pulled her closer. His hands then began to roam her body and that's when Caroline knew she had to stop before it went too far that she couldn't stop anymore, so she pulled away and then she walked passed him, leaving him hanging. Klaus closed his eyes, not knowing what else to do to be with her.

"I think its best if we forget about everything that happened tonight." Caroline said not daring to look at him anymore.

"Caroline, I have already told you how much I want to be with you!" He expressed turning her around. "I want you." He added. Caroline shook her head.

"Do you want me enough to leave Katerina?" She asked. Klaus looked at her with a confused look, not knowing how to answer that question.
