Hey y'all! I am back with the second chapter and I have to say that I was blown away by the response this story has gotten so far :)

Enjoy!

When Caroline didn't respond, Klaus's eyebrows knit together and he eyed her with curiosity in his stormy blue-gray eyes because he wanted to see how she was going to react.

"Well?" He questioned as he leaned back in his seat.

"You can't be serious." She told him as she began shaking her head.

"Oh, sweetheart, I'm dead serious." Klaus told her even though he knew that if he continued acting like he currently was, she would walk out of his life yet again, but he did need an heir and he didn't want to have a child with another woman, so that left the woman in front of him.

"No," she shook her head furiously as she backed away from the desk and towards the door.

"Caroline, think about this before you do something you don't want too."

"I will not bring a child into this world knowing that his sperm donor is an alcoholic who doesn't care about anything or anyone."

"Caroline," he said through gritted teeth.

"What!?" She shouted as her hands clenched into fists and her eyes seemed to blaze with fire.

"I have changed and I am no longer the man that was married to you."

"How could you have changed? It's been less than half a decade and I really doubt you are this new and improved man because that doesn't work or make sense- not to me atleast."

"Well then you sure as hell lost all faith in me. Do you remember how we me met? I sure do, but it seems like you don't."

"I remember how we met." She whispered as she thought back to that night in the alley.

Four Years Ago:

As the blonde made her way across the alley, she felt a shiver run down her spine and understood that it had little to do with the Spring breeze that was blowing through. She wore a simple black dress that fit all of her curves perfectly and even though this wasn't how she expected the night to end, she knew that she had to get out of that bar before it was too late.

After all, she only went there because her friends urged her to do so, but what she didn't expect was to see her ex-boyfriend cuddling up to her former roomate. Suffice to say, Caroline was in no way ready to see them out and about even though it has been a couple of months.

When she saw her ex-boyfriend grinding up against her former roommate, she couldn't seem to look away and as soon as she was able too, she left her friends and made her way outside as the tears began to form in her eyes.

She tried to blink the tears away, but was not very successful because it simply hurt to much to even try and stop them from escaping her eyes. As she walked through the alley, she looked up at the sky and her bottom lip trembled as she continued to make her way through the darkened alley. Of course, it wasn't the wisest decision she ever made, but at that moment she could barely bring herself to care about the consequences that could arise from her being so careless.

As she walked farther away from the bar, she began to calm down and when she was finally able to breathe normally again, she looked at her surroundings. She could tell that there was no one else there which is why she learned against the red brick wall that was farthest away from the trash cans. The smell of spoiled food and god knew what else entered her nostrils and she felt as if she was going to gag, but thankfully she didn't.

All she wanted to do was get home, but she didn't exactly have a ride considering that their designated driver was still at the bar. The blonde knew that she could return and wait for her friends in the dark corners of the bar, but she didn't want to feel as if she was a shadow that stood behind them because she knew that they would cut their nights off earlier than expected.

With a sigh, she reached for her purse in an attempt to get her cell phone, but quickly realized that she left her purse back at the bar.

"Shit," she murmured to herself angrily as she shut her eyes and shook her head.

It seemed like nothing was going to go her way that night.

Caroline sat on the ground for a couple of more minutes and pressed her knees to her chest as she rested her chin on them. When she thought that she was ready to stand, she saw a shadow in the distance and yelped without having time to stop her cry from bursting out of her.

Immediately, she saw the shadow coming closer and shut her eyes tightly in an attempt to make herself unaware of her surroundings. She knew that if this shadow was coming closer to her, he wanted something.

She began to shake and gripped her hands tightly together out of fear.

"Love?" She heard a voice say in front of her.

Caroline realized that the man didn't sound like he wanted to hurt her. Instead he sounded as if he was genuinely concerned.

"I will not hurt you." He told her quickly and she assumed that he could feel the distress that was coming off of her in waves which is why he was trying to reassure her.

Surely, that meant that the stranger meant her well, not ill.

Slowly, Caroline's eyes fluttered open and she looked up at the stranger- the handsome stranger, she corrected herself as she took in his appearance. He wore a crisp black suit and a white button down dress shirt that had the top two buttons undone. She then noticed the color of his eyes even though it was dark out. She noted that his eyes were a color that she has never seen before on a human being... He had stormy blue-gray eyes and she felt that if she would look a little deeper, she would see the waves crashing against the land.

"Are you alright?" He asked her and then gave her a small smile.

"Yes," she whispered even though she wasn't.

"Would you like to talk about it?" He asked as he sat down beside her.

"Your pants..." She started.

"Oh, don't you worry about my pants," he responded as he winked at her. "These pants were never my favorite anyway." He shrugged jokingly and with ease.

Caroline laughed out loud because she couldn't help herself and then she self-consciously put her hands over her mouth in an attempt to stop the laughing that was escaping her.

"You have a beautiful laugh, love." He complimented as his eyes lit up and his smile deepened which allowed Caroline to see his adorable dimples.

"Thank you," she whispered as a blush crept onto her cheeks.

"Now, why don't you tell a perfect stranger what it is that is plaguing your beautiful mind?" He offered, knowing that he sounded as corny as ever, but not caring.

"How smooth," she giggled as she felt her spirit rise.

"Why thank you," he bowed like a gentleman would in the past in the presence of a lady.

"Thank you," she told him, her voice genuine.

"Whatever for?" He asked, the curiosity evident in his voice.

"For making me laugh. I really appreciate it after the night I had."

"Do you care to elaborate?" He wondered and patiently waited for her response.

"I guess," she shrugged. "Long story short, my boyfriend cheated on me with my roomate and I just saw them grinding against each other in the bar and being all lovey dovey. Suffice to say, my feelings for him have not yet vanished, unfortunately which is why I am out here in the dark."

"I'm sorry to hear that...?"

"Oh, right," she smiled. "I'm Caroline."

"A beautiful name fit for a beautiful woman." He complimented as he sighed with content.

"Do you have a name, Prince Charming?" Caroline asked as her eyes lit up happily in wake of his response.

"Ah, so you are one of those women that love watching Disney movies... Am I correct on that assumption?"

"Maybe so, Prince Charming." She shrugged as she felt the sadness that she felt earlier, leave her. "Now let me assume something..."

"Anything," he replied as he crossed his arms over his chest in a relaxed manner.

"You are one of those guys that loves watching The Godfather and action films.

"I'm afraid you're wrong, my lady." He sighed heavily even though she wasn't.

"And I'm afraid you're not a very good liar, Prince Charming." Caroline responded wittily as her smile widened.

"Hm... Now I feel like I shouldn't give you my name because I love it how you call me Prince Charming." He told her, his voice taking on a flirtatious tone.

"Oh really?" Caroline questioned. "Perhaps then I should call you Beast."

"Even better," he shrugged as he tried to keep his cool because the tightening in his groin was starting to get unbearable.

Quickly though, Klaus thought about something that would surely get rid of his erection because he wasn't about to think with his other head when he had one that was intelligent on his shoulders.

"Hm... Since I really want to know your name, I might just have to use other means." Caroline told him as she moved a little closer to him.

"I beg your pardon?" He choked out as his erection came back within seconds.

The blonde couldn't help herself and she burst out laughing as she clutched her stomach and shook her head at how fluttered she made the man that sat besides her.

"Perhaps I should become a comedian." He offered as he eyed her with lust in his eyes.

"Oh no," she shook her head playfully. "I don't want a comedian." Caroline added, more serious this time around because she actually seemed to feel something for the stranger that scared the living shit out her just a couple of minutes ago with his footsteps drawing closer, but surprisingly, in those past couple of minutes, she actually felt happy for the first time in a long time.

They shared a heated look with one another and it seemed as if the emotion in their eyes spoke volumes.

"Then who do you want?" He wondered.

"I would tell you, but I don't know his name."

"Do I know him?"

"You might, actually." She nodded, playing along with him.

"Well then describe him to me, sweet Caroline."

"Well, he has wonderful taste in fashion, adorable dimples, unique colored eyes, and an accent people would kill for."

"Hm... That describes about every man I know, but considering that all of my brothers have boring brown eyes except one, I'm afraid they aren't it." He shrugged. "That is too bad." He added.

"Oh, I don't know..." Caroline told him. "It may be that one brother of yours with unique eyes."

"Perhaps, but I highly doubt it considering that he is still in high school. He just started his sophomore year actually."

"How nice," she smiled from ear to ear genuinely.

"Mhm," he nodded. "So tell me, Caroline. What do you believe this man's name to be?"

"Good question," she told him as she put her index finger under her chin in a thinking manner. "Considering that he has this wise vibe about him, I am going to have to say his name is either Christopher, Andrew, Richard, Nathaniel, or Nicholas."

"No, but you're close." He notified as a smile played on his lips.

"Really?" The blonde wondered as her eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.

"Nicholas," he clarified. "I'm certain that the man that has caught your fancy is named Niklaus which is short for Klaus."

"Klaus," she said.

"Caroline," he answered and he felt as if he was on cloud nine because of how natural it sounded of her to call him by his first name.

They smiled at one another and then Klaus reached for her hand before he grasped it gently.

The blonde looked down at their linked hands and then at him and he smiled.

"Go out with me." Klaus said, his voice hopeful.

"I thought you'd never ask." She responded as she smiled at him happily.

Present:

"So, are you going to accept my proposal?" Klaus asked her as he watched her carefully as he studied her every movement.

"I- I need time to think." The blonde responded as she shifted in her seat nervously.

"Well you don't have any time." He reminded her. "You either agree to this or you leave my office."

"Why do you want to make me miserable, Klaus?" She asked him and he noticed that she was on the brink of breaking down.

"Caroline..." He whispered gently because he didn't want her to cry.

"I'll do whatever you ask, but not that. I can't." She shook her head.

Klaus shut his eyes and when he reopened them he looked her squarely in his tear-filled blue eyes.

"You have two options." He told her, his voice as cold as he could.

"What two options?" She asked him as her eyebrows widened in response. Maybe she had another chance to get him to help her without having to give him an heir.

"You either give me an heir or you become my mistress. It is up to you, but if I was you I would go for the former rather than the latter because as soon as I know that you are with child, I will stop joining you in bed, but if you choose to become my mistress, I will not leave your bed ever."

"You are a terrible person." She cried out as she crossed her arms over her chest tightly.

"I'm a successful business man for that reason, Caroline." He shrugged. "Now pick."

The blonde shook her head before she stood up and made her way towards the door.

Klaus's shoulders slumped because the love of his life was leaving him yet again, but then she stopped when she had her hand on the door knob.

"I'll give you an heir." She told him and he barely heard her, but the she raised her voice. "I will sleep with you until I'm pregnant, but I will not respond. I refuse to."

"Okay," he told her. "We start tomorrow night."

"Okay,"

There you have it! I hope this chapter was alright and if it offended anybody, it was not my intention... I'm just not sure what to label it as, but I think Klaus being an asshole is as close as can get, lmaoo
