"Klaus. Klaus, you get down here this minute!"

Klaus reluctantly sat down the novel he'd been reading and flashed downstairs to where Caroline was currently going crazy trying to organize for the Christmas party that she'd insisted they have. Now that they were officially together, they'd adjusted quite quickly to domesticated life. That is until it came time for their first holiday together. Caroline had insisted upon having the celebration at their home, with not just his insane family, but all her crazy friends as well. He'd bet Elijah there would be blood shed before the first course was served. But the idea of everyone together seemed to thrill her, so he'd done everything he could to make it happen. Which mostly meant staying out of her way. Caroline tended to go overboard, and Klaus was just looking to stay out of the line of fire.

"What is it my love?" he asked upon entering the living room. He found her pacing around the room, tablet in hand, no doubt adding to her never ending to do list.

"Don't love me! Do you know what I've had to deal with today? The caterers got our order wrong, the wait staff I hired just informed me they overbooked, and wonder if it would be ok to move our party back three hours. You're sister called me to let me know she has fallen in love, again, and would like to bring said guy with her. We're about to have all you siblings and all my friends under the same roof, and it freaks me out that you're not freaked out."

Klaus was trying very hard not to laugh. He also didn't point out that this had all been her idea in the first place. He wasn't that stupid. During her rant, Klaus couldn't help but notice she was standing under some mistletoe that had been hung up. "Perfect", he thought. "Just the thing I need to distract her." He walked up to her and indicated above her head.

"Mistletoe. You owe me kiss."

"Have you been listening to anything I've been saying? I don't have time for a kiss, I barley have time to think. A kiss, give me-"

One second Caroline had been focused on her tablet, checking her to do list, the next she was pressed against the wall, and Klaus was ravishing her. One hand threaded through her hair, gathering her blonde waves into his fist, and using his superior strength to angle her head to allow the greatest chance for plunder. His other hand stroked down her back and settled on her ass, palming it, and using it bring her center against his own. For a few moments the only sounds in the room was the rustle of clothes and smacking of lips. And then as quickly as the kiss had started, he was pulling back. He released his hold on her and set her back until she was leaning against the wall, his face smug while hers was flushed. His smirk indicated he'd achieved his desired effect.

"That's better." And then he walked out of the room. It took Caroline a minute to regain her senses and when she did, she scowled in the direction he'd left. Oh, he was going to pay for that.

"Now," she thought to herself, "what the hell was I doing?"
