This is my very first AU/AH Klaroline FanFiction so I really hope you guys like it. I decided to write the first three chapters and post them all at once and then let you guys decide if you want me to continue or not, because I do not think the first chapter alone really lets you see where the story could go! ENJOY! *Please feel free to review each chapter!*
CHAPTER 1
Caroline was always running late for her weekly lunches with Bonnie, Elena, and Meredith. Being a big time editor at the largest publishing company in New York City did have its disadvantages. But despite her busy schedule she made sure she always made it to these lunches. It was impossible for her to hold down any type of relationship with a man so she was determined not to lose her girlfriends.
Their lunch destinations switched each week. This week they were eating at Hard Rock Café. Bonnie had chosen this week and told them all she had some big news. They of course all knew she was going to announce her engagement to Jeremy; they had been dating forever and it was just a matter of time. The thought made Caroline sigh she was twenty-four years old and she hadn't had a steady boyfriend in quite some time. She missed the cuddling the most. Late at night, during thunderstorms; she really missed having someone there to hold her.
Caroline made it to the restaurant only fifteen minutes late, and she was quite proud of herself. The other three girls were already sitting down looking at their menus. "Hello." Caroline said as she sat down across from Elena.
"Hi Care." The girls said almost in unison.
The waitress came over and took Caroline's drink order then gave them some more time to look over the menu. After they placed their orders and the waitress left with their menus everyone looked at Bonnie.
"Well…" Elena said in an excited voice. "You can't make us wait until the end of lunch that is just cruel!
Bonnie smiled and stuck her hand towards the middle of the table. Elena squealed as soon as she saw the engagement ring on her friend's finger.
"Congrats Bonnie." Caroline said trying her best not to dwell on the fact that she herself would probably never have that kind of news to share with her friends.
When the squealing over the ring and Jeremy's epic proposal was over Caroline hoped they could move past the subject; she felt like an awful friend to think that way but it was hard enough going home to a big empty apartment every night,.
"Sex will not be the same after you get married." Meredith said. Great another subject Caroline hated to discuss.
Bonnie laughed. "I can't imagine that aspect of our relationship ever being bad." She said with a big smile.
"Ugh, Bonnie I love you but that is my brother." Elena said sounding disgusted.
"Sex has just been a little boring lately." Meredith said.
"I definitely don't have that problem." Elena said sitting back in her chair. "Damon is anything but boring in bed."
"Caroline, you have been pretty quiet. You are the only single lady here…able to test out all the delicious men of the city." Bonnie said with a smirk.
Caroline laughed. "I can't even remember the last time I had sex." She paused. "Besides with my work I am too busy for relationships right now." She said hoping that would put an end to the whole conversation; she wasn't one to talk this openly about her sex life…or lack of one.
Their lunch came and for a little while they ate in silence. Bonnie grabbed her purse and pulled out a small business card then handed it to Caroline. "Here." She said.
Caroline took the card. All that was printed on it was the name Klaus and a phone number. "What is this?" I asked with a polite smile.
"A way for you to release some sexual tension."
Caroline shook her head. "Um…"
Bonnie cut her off. "It's nothing to be ashamed of." Bonnie leaned in closer to the table. "Women have needs too." She whispered. "A co-worker gave me that card months ago, before she knew I had a boyfriend. I kept it to hopefully give it to someone who needed it. She said he is amazing."
"I have done something like that before." Meredith said. "When I was a little younger."
"I am not sure it is something I could do. It's not really me…"
"Well just take it, you can call it or not call. Just think about it." Bonnie said with a small smile.
Caroline tossed the card in her purse with no real intention on using it. The waitress brought the bill over and they all put in the amount of their lunch. They all said goodbye and congratulated Bonnie one last time.
Caroline didn't get home from the office until seven. She wished that she could say that never happened but it was actually quite normal to get home well after five. She tossed her bag on her kitchen table and filled up her bathtub with hot water and lavender scented bubble bath. She poured herself a large glass of red wine and waited for her bath to fill.
Caroline undressed and stepped into the hot water and let out a small sigh before taking another sip of wine. She thought about the small card in her purse. It would be nice to…be pleasured again. The last time she had sex was with Tyler and he never really worried too much about satisfying her. Caroline had a hard time getting over the fact that she would be paying someone to have sex with her and that made her not want to call.
The next day at the office was a hectic day for Caroline. She managed to finally get away for lunch around one. She decided to take a real break and eat her sandwich in her car. As she ate her sandwich she noticed a gift bag in her backseat, it was a gift Elena had given her last month for her birthday. She had been so busy she hadn't even gotten the chance to use it. It was a book, a popular book that everyone at work had read or was reading; 50 Shades of Gray. Caroline decided to use the last half hour of her lunch to start the book. The book was excellent and Caroline really got into it; even though recreational reading was never one of her pastimes.
After Caroline's long day at the office she rushed home and picked up where she left off in her book. It was almost nine when she began to think of the card in her purse again. The more she read the book the more she wanted to pick up the phone and call Klaus. She wondered if that was his real name, it was unusual but she liked it. She sucked her lips in between her teeth and rolled her eyes. 'This is ridiculous.' She said to herself. She grabbed her cell phone off her nightstand and took the business card out of her purse. She dialed the numbers then stared for a moment at her cell phone with the numbers on the screen. She took a breath in and hit the call button. The phone rang twice before it was answered. "Hello." She hung up the moment she heard the incredibly sexy voice. She smacked her forehead with the palm of her hand and closed her eyes tight. 'Why am I being so childish?' She thought to herself.
A moment later her cell phone started to ring. She gasped and froze as she saw Klaus' number blinking on her screen. She shut her eyes and answered the phone.
"Hello." I said trying to hide the embarrassment in my voice.
"I believe you just called me." He said in a voice with a sexy British accent.
"Yea, I dialed by mistake." She said trying to cover up her foolishness.
Klaus laughed. "I doubt that, Sweetheart."
Caroline sighed. "OK, fine. I'm sorry. I am just a little…nervous." She said; her voice getting softer as her sentence went on.
Klaus laughed again. "No need to be nervous, Love. I actually have an opening tomorrow night, if you are free."
"OK…sure." Caroline said after a minute.
"I just need your name, Love."
"My name?" She asked.
Klaus laughed again. "Yes, you don't need to give me your real name if you…"
"No, of course I can give you my real name." She said with a nervous laugh. "It's Caroline."
"Alright. Do you know the restaurant Rachel's?" He asked.
"Yes." She said.
"Good. Is seven alright with you?"
"Sure." Caroline said.
"Just use my name at the reservation counter. I will see you than, Sweetheart."
Klaus hung up and Caroline followed. She was extremely nervous. She got up and went through her closet, she had absolutely nothing to wear and she didn't even want to attempt to go through her underwear draw…she certainly had nothing that she wanted anyone to see in there. She decided she would take a much needed sick day tomorrow and take a trip to the mall to pick out some new clothes. Caroline read a bit more of her book then finally went to bed.
The next morning Caroline called out of work bright and early then took a shower and got ready for her shopping trip. She wanted to look good tonight; she hadn't been out with someone of the opposite sex in a very long time so she had no clue on what to wear. She decided to start with the clothes and then move to the underwear.
After trying on many dresses she came across three that she really loved. One was a black lace, one was white and the other was blue. She decided to buy all three since she really didn't own any going out clothes. After purchasing the clothes she walked down to Victoria's Secret to look at bras and panties. She picked out several bras including a black lace push up bra and she picked out matching panties for each bra.
After leaving the mall Caroline decided to make it a full day of pampering and preparing for her…whatever with Klaus. She went to the salon and got a bikini wax along with having her eyebrows shaped. She decided to finish up with a pedicure.
Caroline got home from her shopping and afternoon of pampering and decided to curl up in bed with her book until it was time for her to get ready to leave. She made a chicken salad sandwich and grabbed her book.
It was five so she decided to start to get ready. She took a shower and tried to let the hot water calm her nerves about the upcoming evening of events. It didn't work but honestly she didn't expect it to. She grabbed her new black lace bra and matching black lace thong; she looked in the full length mirror for a few seconds to make sure she was happy with her recent purchases. Caroline chose to wear the black lace dress. It was simple, not overly dressy, but still nice. After doing her hair and makeup and throwing on a pair of black heels she was ready to leave. Her breathing was starting to get a bit uneven and she could feel her heart rate increase. She hadn't even left the house yet and she was already starting to freak out. She took a few deep breaths before grabbing her purse and keys and heading to the restaurant.
She arrived at the restaurant right at seven; she was actually pretty proud of herself for actually being on time for something. Caroline walked up to the hostess and gave Klaus' name. She immediately walked her to Klaus' usual table in the back of the restaurant. Klaus was already seated at the table; as soon as Caroline approached he stood and smiled at her.
The hostess left them alone and Caroline sat down; Klaus followed. "Hello." Klaus said. He was incredibly sexy. He was wearing dark jeans a grey shirt and a black jacket over it. He had deep blue eyes and blond hair. Caroline couldn't help but stare.
"Hi." She said quietly. Her nervousness was of course flooding back to her. She had no idea what she was supposed to talk about with him; it wasn't like they were on a real date.
"I went ahead and ordered some wine." Klaus said as gestured to the bottle. "Is red alright with you?"
"Yes." She said with a smile. "My favorite actually."
Klaus smiled and poured Caroline a generous glass. "Please relax; this should be fun for you." He said softly with a slight smirk.
Caroline laughed. "Is it that obvious that I am nervous." She said looking down at her hands.
Klaus shrugged. "Reading people is a talent of mine." The waitress came over and took our orders then disappeared behind the kitchen doors. "So, I suppose we should go over the…guidelines." He said quietly even though there was no one around us.
"Sure…absolutely." I said before taking a sip of the wine.
"Well five hundred is the initial cost. If you want me to stay overnight I do require a bit extra. Are you married?"
"What? No, I am not." Caroline said a bit offended by the question.
"I'm sorry, Sweetheart." He said with a smile. "I just have to check; if you were I charge more and won't go to your home." Caroline nodded in response; she understood why he would ask. "Dinner tonight is on me, but any other dinners or functions you wish me to attend I will assume you will be paying." He paused. "I get tested every month, I have never had any kind of STD and I always wear a condom." He said quietly.
"OK." Caroline said. She loved his voice; his accent was a huge turn on. She never expected to be this attracted to him, but every time he would slightly lick his lips with his tongue it drove her insane.
"This is supposed to be enjoyable for you, and I am willing to do mostly anything to achieve that." He said with a smirk.
Caroline blushed and looked down at the table. "I'm just having trouble getting used to the fact that I am paying for this…so if we could try not to bring that up too often…" Caroline paused and looked back up into Klaus' amazing eyes. "I may be able to enjoy myself a little more.
Klaus smiled and nodded. "Of course." He paused. "So tell me a bit about yourself." Klaus said.
"Well." Caroline started. "I am twenty-four; I'm an editor." She paused. "My last boyfriend was quite some time ago, and he wasn't too into…my feelings" Caroline decided to go with the word feelings instead of needs or some other word. "I don't have the ideal work schedule so relationships are hard."
After they finished their dinner Klaus paid the bill and they headed back to Caroline's apartment. Caroline's nerves were taking over again; she was never the type to have a one night stand so this was incredibly weird for her.
"This is a nice apartment." Klaus said as he glanced around.
"Thank you." Caroline walked over to her cabinets. "Would you like some wine?" She asked.
Klaus nodded. "Thank you."
Caroline filled two wine glasses with the red liquid and handed one to him. Caroline hoped that more wine would help loosen her up a bit. "I'm really nervous." She confessed. Caroline knew there was no point in trying to hide it; she had always been horrible at hiding her emotions.
Klaus laughed. "It's OK." He said quietly. Caroline smiled at his sexy laugh and dropped her head down to look at her shoes. Klaus took a couple steps towards her and placed his finger under her chin and slowly brought her face up to look at him. He leaned in and kissed her lips slowly. He pulled away but kept his lips close to hers. "Perhaps you should…lead the way to the…bedroom?" Caroline could feel his lips move over hers as he spoke. She swallowed and tried her best to remember to breath.
Klaus followed Caroline to her bedroom. Caroline kicked off her high heels and Klaus attacked her lips with his own. His hands went around to her back and slowly unzipped her dress; he pushed the dress straps off her shoulders and let the dress fall to the floor. Klaus slid his jacket off and tossed it on the floor along with her dress. He broke their intense kiss for a moment; long enough so he could get his shirt up over his head. His lips were on hers again seconds later. He gently pushed her back towards the bed and then crawled on top of her.
"Is there anything specific you would like me to do to you, Sweetheart?" He asked. His voice was just so damn sexy she couldn't take it. Caroline shook her head because one she had no idea what to say and two even if she did she wasn't in the position to form words right now.
Klaus kissed down her jaw line then to her neck. He reached around her back and unhooked her bra tossing it on the floor with the rest of their discarded clothes. Caroline turned her head to the side and couldn't help the shade of pink that her cheeks turned. Klaus moved her head back so he could look in her eyes and gave her a reassuring look. The next thing Caroline knew they were both completely naked and Klaus was putting on a condom. She felt incredibly self conscious laying there in front of him; naked. He crawled back on top of her as he kissed her. He started at her thigh; he drew small circles on her inside thigh with his tongue; it gave her goose bumps. He moved up to her belly and placed feather light kisses against her skin. Caroline loved the feeling of his remarkable lips against her skin. He continued his journey further north and landed at her breasts; he took one in his hand and attacked the other with his tongue. He took his time and gave each his full attention before finally making his way up to her mouth. He slowly slid his tongue between her lips and teeth and a soft moan escaped her mouth. Part of her was still a bit uncomfortable but she was so attracted to Klaus and he was certainly good at this that she couldn't help but enjoy every second of it. Caroline felt Klaus smile against her lips. Klaus pushed himself into Caroline and she let out a loud moan in pleasure.
Bonnie's co-worker greatly understated when she said Klaus was amazing…amazing didn't begin to describe the pleasure Caroline received from him. After Klaus pushed Caroline over the edge twice, and finished himself he pulled himself out of her and laid beside her for a moment as they both caught their breath and tried to regulate their breathing.
"Wow." Caroline said as she turned her head to Klaus.
"Did you enjoy yourself, Love?" Klaus asked as he smiled.
Caroline turned away and blushed. "Yes." She whispered. She suddenly felt very self conscious about laying there completely naked so she grabbed the small blanket that was folded at the end of her bed and wrapped it around her. Klaus stood up and gathered up his clothes and got dressed. Caroline went in the kitchen and pulled out an envelope from her purse. She heard Klaus approach from behind her; she turned and gave him the envelope. "Thanks." She said quietly not looking into his eyes.
Klaus took the envelope from Caroline; his fingers softly grazing hers. "Call me soon, Love."
Klaus turned to leave but Caroline grabbed his arm to stop him. "When is your next…when are you available next?" She asked.
Klaus smiled. "I am booked until Thursday."
Caroline was a little disappointed, today was Friday so that was almost a week away. "OK well I guess the same time on Thursday then? I will text you with the details."
Klaus nodded. "Alright." He headed to the door and left.
