Hey guys! So, I am back with chapter 2 and I think you guys will enjoy this chapter! I really loved writing it :)

Their lips assailed the other's, but soon Caroline realized that she was kissing the man that she disliked with every fiber of her being and quickly pushed him away.

When he pulled away from her, he was breathing heavily and his eyes were tinted with desire.

"You're magnificent." He complimented as he reached for her, but she danced out of his way and quickly got behind the copper tub. After all, the tub wasn't exactly the greatest of shields, but they were apart and that was all that mattered.

"Stay away from me." She told him as her heart beat in her chest rapidly.

"As you wish," he drawled, the disappointment evident in his voice.

Still, he watched her like a cat did a mouse and Caroline felt as if he was about to pounce.

"I'm serious." She warned. "You'll be sorry if you don't heed my warning."

"I have no doubt." He replied sarcastically and the blonde's blood began to simmer angrily. "I do wonder what it is that you will do, however."

"Continue looking at me the way you are and you'll find out." She shrugged as she tried to put on a brave front, but he could see through her facade.

Their kiss had as much of an impact on her as it had on him. Still, the Earl knew not why he suddenly wanted the girl for himself.

It wasn't as if he ever saw her in that way before…

Lie, the little voice in his head said and he narrowed his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, my lord. I find your beady eyes most discomforting if I may be so blunt."

"My beady eyes? Last time I checked, my eyes looked perfectly fine." He argued, sounding as pompous as ever before.

With a scoff, she turned up her nose at him and only then did she realize that her body was still bare to his gaze.

"Finally realized you're still naked, huh?" He questioned, his smile in place.

"Leave!" She cried out as she stomped her foot in an outrage.

"Your breasts bounce beautifully, darling. I simply cannot wait to see when they'll quiver because of the pleasure I give you."

"Cease speaking to me in such a way, immediately! You may be an Earl, but that does not give you the right to speak to me as if I am some loose woman with no morals. I am a lady first and foremost and you shall regret the way you are speaking to me."

"I'll regret it when the time comes, but for the time being I find that I fancy looking at your beautiful body and will continue to do so as long as I please."

"Hell and damnation!" She cried out. "Go to the devil, you arrogant and pompous cad! I'll not allow you to use me like one of your whores!" She warned as she dashed towards the four poster bed and pulled the sheet there tightly around her body.

"Such language does not become you, darling. Although, I must say that I love the way you sound when you cuss."

"Leave my sight at once!" She commanded. "I will call Andrew if you do not and he will deal with you."

"Oh, please… Andrew can do nothing to a peer of the realm as you well know."

"He will if said peer is disrespecting a lady." She argued even though she knew that the Earl was correct.

Though Andrew was a good sort, he wasn't much of a savior to begin with. The boy was barely a man anyway and she realized that Klaus was indeed very manly.

There simply had to be another way to deter him from whatever he had in mind…

"I can see those little wheels in your head turning and I can see that you agree that Andrew will not harm me one way or the other, so what are we going to do? Are you going to finally tell me why you despise me so much when not even a decade ago you panted after every word that I said?"

"I never panted after everything that you said, sir." She argued as her hands clenched into fists at her sides and she watched him with anger in her bright blue eyes.

"Are you sure about that? Because as I recall, when you were a little girl and was visiting with my family, your eyes always followed me."

"You think far too highly of yourself. A big head was never good for anybody." She scoffed. "And I sure as hell am not infatuated of you as you think."

"Oh, but I am not saying that you are infatuated with me- all I am saying is that you have fallen in lust with me." He smirked, his traitorous dimples making their appearance.

"Fallen in lust with you? Have you gone mad, my lord? Surely you have..." She said, the annoyance evident in her voice.

"I can tell you that mind is of soundness at this very moment."

"Is it? Then pray tell why it is that you have still not left my presence after I have asked you too repeatedly?" She countered as she held the sheet closer to her body, her eyes daggers being sent his way.

"Well, it's plain and simple really... I do not wish to leave and I can tell you right now that I'd fancy taking you up against that wall." He told her as he motioned towards the wall by the armoire.

"How dare you!" She gasped as she reached for the closest item and threw it at his head.

Unfortunately, what she threw at him happened to be the sheet that protected her naked body from his gaze. Yet again, she stood their naked and Klaus' eyes zeroed in on her blushing womanly mounds.

"Stunning," he said aloud as he moved closer to her.

"Stay where you are!" She ordered, trying to sound as foreboding as ever.

"But I wish to see you a bit closer." He told her, sounding as innocent as a newborn babe.

"And I wish you to leave my presence at once, but unfortunately that isn't happening!" She cried out as her hands clenched into fists and she eyed him with daggers in her bright blue eyes.

"Well, you could have just asked nicely." He replied with a shrug. "But since you didn't, the offer no longer stands."

"Fine, if you wish to be such a stubborn cad then at least give me the courtesy to dress in private."

"I can do that." He nodded as he turned his back on her and made his way to a corner in the room.

"What I mean is to please have my clothing brought up. As you can see, Andrew has not yet had the time to leave it here."

"No problem, love. I would love to bring you your clothing, but only if you allow me to choose what it is that you will wear."

"Ugh!" She huffed, the annoyance evident in her voice as she stomped in the direction of the door and opened it.

"Where do you think you're going in that state?" He questioned as he moved in front of her and blocked her exit.

"I am going to go and retrieve my belongings since you know not how to be a gentleman."

"Bu-" he started and she put up her finger in order to stop him from saying another word.

"I will do as I please and should that mean carousing around this house in nothing, that is what I will do."

"If you believe I'll allow you to expose your charms to your footman you are very wrong. I will bring you your trunk and you may choose what you want to wear, but I'll not have you running around as naked as the day you were born."

"I don't believe I asked your permission, my lord." She argued before she lifted her nose in the air and pushed past him.

When she got over the threshold, his arms encircled her midsection and he pulled her into the bedchamber.

At that point, all Caroline saw was red. She'd not allow him to manhandle her as if he had some sort of right.

"Release me or you'll find yourself without hands, sir." She warned, sounding as ominous as ever.

"I hate to disappoint, but do you truly believe that you can hurt me in anyway?"

"As a matter of fact, I do think so and do you want to know why?" She questioned.

"Why of course, my fair lady. Do enlighten me." He urged, watching her closely.

"Every kitten has claws." She simply replied before she pushed him away.

He let her go and immediately, the blonde ducked out of the bedchamber and made her way to the stairs.

Standing at the top, she looked down at herself and huffed because the Earl was right... She couldn't simply walk around with nothing on her person and risk seeing Andrew.

The poor boy wouldn't know what to do with himself and she was fairly certain that Klaus would go through with his earlier threat…

With an annoyed sigh, she turned back towards the bedchamber and Klaus stood there with a foreboding expression on his face.

"What?" She questioned as she crossed her arms over her chest.

His eyes moved to her midsection and she cursed under her breath. It seemed the man couldn't think straight when her female charms were out in the open.

"Eyes up here!" She snapped even though she was growing exhausted. It seemed the trip did indeed have more of an effect on her than she thought.

With a start, his eyes moved upwards and collided with her own.

"Head into your bedchamber and I will fetch your trunk, my lady. Though I am sure that you are going to say no, do think it over."

A couple of seconds later, the blonde nodded and he smirked before he gave her one last piercing look and then turned on his heel.

Sighing, Caroline entered her bedchamber and sat down at the edge of the bed, pulling the sheet that she threw at him tight around herself.

As she waited, the memories of her childhood played over in her head. She remembered that first time she met his lordship when she was but a girl of five years of age.

Many Years Ago:

The little girl looked over at her parents with an I sure expression on her face as they defended the carriage steps and made their way over to the Mikaelson Manor.

"Mommy, what if that girl is mean?" She asked, looking up at Liz with innocence in her eyes.

"Rest assured, my dear. Lady Rebekah is an absolute dear- you simply have to find a way to speak to her."

"I don't know…" She replied as she placed her thumb in her mouth and sucked.

"Darling," her mother warned as she looked pointedly at her daughter.

"Dear, leave Carey alone… She's nervous and if she wants to place her thumb in her mouth, then I say we let her. She's got many more years before she must be a proper lady."

With a frown, Liz looked at her husband and he gave her a teasing smile and shrugged. Sighing, Liz nodded and motioned for their daughter to carry on.

A couple of minutes later, the butler allowed them to enter and escorted them to the drawing room.

"Sweetheart, you must follow this nice man to the nursery." Liz told her as she pointed at the butler with a genuine smile on her lips.

"But, mommy-" Caroline began to argue, but her parents gave her one of their looks and she huffed before she followed the butler.

Index in the nursery, she saw boys- many of them and she looked up at the butler confused.

"Where is Lady Rebekah?" Caroline asked, the curiosity evident in her voice.

"Her ladyship is at a lesson, but she will be done in no time. For now, my lady, you may play with the boys."

"No!" She cried out loud as she promptly placed her thumb in her mouth nervously.

"What a baby." One of the boys said- his hair was brown and his chocolate brown eyes were alit with childish mischief.

"Leave her be, Kol." An older boy ordered, his hair a dirty blonde and his eyes a stormy blue-gray.

Caroline couldn't seem to take her eyes away from him and she yelped when he started making his way over to her.

Immediately, the boy stopped in his tracks and looked over at her with a curious expression on his face.

"Are you alright?" He questioned.

Nodding, Caroline gave him a small smile and he took that as reassurance and made his way over to her.

"Hello, my lady." He said as he bowed and gave her a kiss on her hand, being as gentlemanly as any other.

With a hiccup, Caroline felt her cheeks heat up and she looked down at her feet, but instead found his hand in hers. It seemed the boy was not yet ready to let her go…

Present:

"Thinking of me, love?" A voice asked and she jumped when her eyes landed on the boy in question- except he was no longer a boy, eh?

"No!" She said far too quickly and he smirked as he sauntered over to her and placed the trunk at her feet.

Bending down, he opened the trunk and took out a light blue day dress that was a bit to low in the midsection and showed it to her.

"I'd like it if you wore this." He simply told her before he made his way out of the bedchamber.

When the blonde was alone, she felt her heart thundering in her chest and swallowed.

How in the world was she going to survive with him so close by and especially during a holiday that was so intimate?

There you have it! So, I hope this chapter was enjoyable and we had some jealous Klaus so that's always good! Am I right or am I right?
