The Long Con
Chapter 1 Let's Get Physical
A/N: This story takes place after the Season 3 Finale. Klaus is still possessing Tyler's body unbeknownst to Caroline. The two of them have left town, and are staying in a motel in North Carolina until things settle down with the city council. They've been gone for a couple of days.
Klaus was staring at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. He loathed being in Tyler's inferior body. He hated seeing Tyler's eyes look back at him. He longed to be back in his own body. His body had a grace and charm to it that Tyler's did not. However, there were perks to possessing Tyler such as kissing Caroline as much as he wanted.
He remembered when he first revealed to Caroline that Tyler was still alive. She practically attacked him on the spot. She furiously kissed him all over. He was more than happy to reciprocate the kisses. That is until she started to take his shirt off. Klaus knew she wanted to make love to him right then and there, but he couldn't allow that to happen. For one thing, he knew Caroline would never forgive him for taking it that far when she eventually learned the truth. Yeah, she might be angry for a while about all the kissing, but making love to her would be unforgivable. He also wanted to wait until he was back inside his own body. He wanted Caroline to know whom she was making love to, and really appreciate the moment together.
Klaus remembered trying to hurry and make up a good enough excuse to explain Tyler's hesitance. He had told Caroline that he thought he was no longer a hybrid anymore, but just a werewolf again. He explained that the vampire part of him might have died when Klaus' heart was staked. If that was true, and he accidentally bit her, there might not be a cure anymore. They needed to make sure there was a cure before they took things further, but that would have to wait until later because the city council was after them. Klaus knew the excuse was flimsy, but she seemed to accept it.
Klaus sighed as he thought about how in the meantime these last few days with Caroline had been heaven. He's enjoyed kissing her because her lips have tasted so incredibly sweet. He loved nibbling on them, and hearing her whimper. It takes every morsel of self-control to not take it further when she does that though. Klaus was determined to kiss her again in his own body, and make her whimper under his own lips.
He's also enjoyed sleeping next to Caroline each night. He loved running his fingers through her curly hair. He's wanted to do that since his family's ball. He also liked to smell the strawberry scented shampoo in her hair. It made the whole experience seem more real. He's enjoyed snuggling with her and feeling her cool body next to his. The best part was when their breathing became synched. It was like they were one entity.
Caroline couldn't help but notice a change in Tyler ever since he evaded death. For one thing, he refused to make love to her. He gave her some excuse about not wanting to accidentally kill her if he bit her. She decided to let it go because they had more pressing issues. But it really was so unlike Tyler because he always jumped at the chance to make love to her. He didn't care where they were: his house, her house, or the cellar. All she knew was that as soon as they got back home, they were going to figure out this whole werewolf/hybrid thing once and for all.
Caroline had noticed a change in his kisses as well. Before, his kisses were rushed. Now they were gentler, sweeter, and much more passionate. He was doing this new thing were he would nibble on her lips, and it drove her absolutely mad with pleasure. She liked that change.
Another change that she liked was Tyler cuddling with her all night long, and not just for a little bit. She liked feeling his strong arms around her as she slept. It made her feel more protected when she was far from home.
He was also looking at her differently. Tyler had always looked at her lovingly, but it seemed more intense. It was like he was trying to memorize her every look and movement. It was kind of weird.
Caroline just figured that with every that had happened to him, it was no wonder that he was acting differently.
Hope you guys liked the first chapter! I know it's short, but it's just the beginning of this story.
