Their moans could be heard throughout the building and he continued to thrust into her with such a force of passion and love that he rarely got to express with her. His hands glided up and over her body and along the contours of her gracious curves until they reached her rich chestnut coloured hair which elected more throated moans from his lover beneath him while she threaded her hands around his strong torso and pulled herself closer to him and wrapped one of her legs around his thrusting hips.

He would never get used to how well their bodies fitted together and formed as one; Klaus never believed in love or soul-mates but when it came to her it was hard to deny what was clearly in front of his eyes. He felt her walls clench around him as she neared her climax and he sped up the speeds of his thrusts to a near inhuman speed in order to join her in her completion.

"Oh, God! - God... Klaus, I going- I'm going to-." She arched her back as she screamed his name during her passion. The end of her sentence was cut off as her walls finally clenched around him and into an explosive orgasm that left her utterly speechless and panting for breath beneath him. This was the last push that Klaus needed and with one final, powerful thrust his joined her climax and collapsed on top to her as he filled her, his forehead touching hers as they panted for breath, both exhausted.

They both lay there for several moments while they try and catch their breathing, still connected with one another. It was moments like this when Klaus hated having to keep his love affair with his mate a secret from the rest of the world. But he knew that if she was ever discovered then she would be the number one target to use against Klaus. She was his biggest and only weakness. She never judged him for his actions and was always there for her even when his family wasn't.

Claudia finally got a hold of her senses and opened her eyes and was met with eyes that shone with happiness and love for her which she returned to him with equal pleasure. Claudia tugged on Klaus's neck till his lips met hers in a lazy kiss and all too soon he pulled away from her and gave her an affectionate smile. She was one of only a select few that got to see this loving and tender side of him instead of the heartless murderer that the world around them feared.

She turned her head to the side and nuzzled into his neck, kissing his tenderly; a wolf habit that she had picked up from Klaus over their time spent together. She heard a throaty chuckle escape his lips as they kissed her neck lovingly.

"I wish we could spend all day together like this." She said breaking the comfortable silence that had eclipsed them in their own sanctuary they had created for themselves. She already knew that all too soon he would be leaving her again not knowing when or if he would next be returning to her next.

With the silence broken Klaus pulled out of her, already regretting the loss of contact with his beloved. Gently, he moved to look at her and cupped her face with his hands. She tried to avoid eye contact knowing that the moment she did he would see the pain etched in her emotions.

"Claudia." Klaus said tenderly, straddling her waist to look down and saw the glint of a tear role down the side of her face. Klaus's heart broke seeing his mate cry, and seeing this made him feel guilt knowing that he was the one that had caused her such pain. He bent down and kissed away her tears before whispering words of love in her ears.

"Claudia, you know I wish it didn't have to be this way." He said sitting back as she finally met is crystal blue eyes. Slowly, Claudia nodded in acknowledgment to him. He sat back onto his knees and pulling her to him. Claudia felt safe in his arms and for the time being they forgot about the world around them and focused on each other.

"Be safe Nik, promise me." Claudia finally said and turned her head to look at his face. The corners of his lips smiled slightly at the comment made.

"When have I ever broken a promise to you, love?" He gazed into her deep honey coloured eyes lovingly before giving her a regretful smile and kissing her head. He placed her on the bed and got up as he began to dress in some of the clothes he kept here whenever he visited. He grabbed his jacket before looking back at Claudia who lay tangled in the sheets watching him with a frown. Klaus walked around the bed and crouched down till he was in her eye sight.

"I will come back to you, my love. Just as soon as I get my family back from that pesky Salvatore" He said with determination and hidden promise. He took the long chain that lay around her neck, never being removed and kissed the engagement ring that he had given her so many years ago. Claudia gave him a small smile in return and placed one of her hands over his and brought it to her lips.

"That doesn't mean I don't worry." She leaned forward and captured his lips with hers in a passionate kiss but all too soon he pulled away and slowly rose from his crouched spot on the floor. He slowly started heading towards the front door regretting each painful step that took him further away from his Claudia, his beloved.

He was just about to unlock the door that could take him away from her when Claudia's voice called him back "Be careful Nik, people will go to extraordinary lengths to protect the people they care about." Claudia fell back on the bed and signed as she heard the door close and took him away from the man she loved.

Klaus had just closed the door behind him, and had been too caught up in Claudia's last words to him to notice the shadowed figure curiously watching him with a smirk on her face. The shadowed figure's smirk grew even more upon hearing what the woman had said. "Extraordinary lengths indeed…" Quicker than a human eye could track, the shadow was gone.
