The One Where

Chapter 4 – The One Where They Both Get Jealous

Caroline had a wide smile on her lips as she opened the door of the boarding house, she was going to see Stefan and lately that thought made her heart skip a beat. She stepped inside, and the smile was wiped off her face, her stomach tightening, feeling sick as she watched them for a moment.

Stefan was lying down on the couch, a textbook in his hands as he asked Elena questions, who was sitting on a table behind him, swinging her legs back and forth, a teasing smile on her face.

It really shouldn't get to her like this, seeing them in a friendly and relaxed manner. Stefan had told her that he only wanted her, that he and Elena were only friends, but she couldn't help but feel the sharp twist of jealousy as she watched them. Elena had been overly attentive to Stefan ever since she broke up with Damon, and Caroline couldn't help but think that it looked like she was switching brothers again.

She decided to make her presence known, a forced smile on her face, "Hey!" The way Stefan immediately sat up to look at her made her smile more genuine.

Stefan tossed the book to the side, stood up his grin bright, as he made his way over to his girlfriend. He wanted to reach over to take her hand but he couldn't, not with Elena here, so instead he mouthed, "Missed you."

Caroline grinned, and returned his gesture, "Missed you too."

"Hey, Caroline." Katherine crossed her arms over her chest, the smile she wore when it was just Stefan and her slipped from her lips. She didn't like the closeness between the two, she didn't like the fact that the moment Caroline arrived Stefan jumped up to greet her, like he wasn't even helping her study.

"Elena." Caroline smiled at Elena, before furrowing her brow at the books scattered on the coffee table, "Whatcha doing?"

"Stefan's helping me study." Katherine replied, her voice smug that she'd spent the better part of the morning with Stefan.

"Oh." Caroline walked around Stefan, to come further into the room, "Stefan who doesn't go to college."

"Stefan, who's an expert in history." Katherine replied, annoyed at the tone in Caroline's voice. A tone she had no right to as just his friend, it's not like she was his girlfriend or anything.

"Uh huh." Caroline's face pinched, and she hated that she was jealous. But no matter how far she'd come, or how much she knew she was a better person than she used to be, she would always be insecure when it came to Elena.

Stefan knew that Caroline was jealous, and she really had no reason to be. Elena had just turned up out of the blue and asked for his help. He was just trying to be a friend, and as he didn't feel that way about her any more he had no problem with it. He'd rather spend his day with Caroline, and now that she was here he hoped that could prove true.

Caroline was about to say more when her phone rang. She took it out of her pocket, and froze on the name that appeared on the screen. She stared at it in hesitance, "It's Tyler. I haven't really spoken to him since the, um, incident."

"The incident?" Stefan almost growled, his hands balled into fists as he recalled pushing Tyler against the wall so that he wouldn't bite her. He placed his hand on Caroline's forearm, pulling her closer to him, his teeth gritted as he practically spat out the words, "You mean the time when he almost killed you?"

Caroline frowned at Stefan, her eyes portraying her sadness. She answered the call, and held the phone to her ear, her mouth dry as she almost whispered, "Hey."

"Hey. Have you talked to Matt?" There was no warmth in Tyler's voice, just coldness and a matter of fact tone.

"No. Why?" Caroline creased her brow, not sure why she would have talked to Matt.

"Because it turns out that Nadia has been compelling him to forget things." Tyler replied, worry for Matt, and anger colouring his tone.

Katherine was standing behind Caroline listening to the conversation when she heard what Tyler said. She started to feel panicked, afraid that her daughter would ruin her new life.

Tyler continued, "Matt said he was going to avoid her, but I haven't heard from him."

Caroline began to worry, "Do you think that he's in trouble?"

"I think he hasn't been at home or work and his phone goes straight to voicemail." Tyler answered, knowing that it wasn't like Matt to avoid work, or not answer his phone, or to not return home at night. There was definitely something wrong.

"Okay." Caroline thought quickly, perhaps she could kill two birds with one stone, "Well, I'll come right over..."

"No." Tyler interrupted Caroline, "That's not why I called..."

"No, I know," Caroline did know, Tyler was an avoider, and he would avoid her forever rather than talk to her about what happened, "I think that we can figure this out together. I'll see you soon." She hung up before he could protest.

Stefan's arms were crossed tightly across his chest, his face was pulled down in a frown, and his jaw was clenched. It was his turn to feel jealous, and extremely protective of her, "You are not going!"

Caroline blinked in shock, "What?"

"Tyler hates you." Stefan couldn't let Caroline go to Tyler alone, he would never forgive himself if something happened to her, "He tried to bite you, Caroline!"

"He was angry!" Caroline took a step closer to Stefan, running her hand down his arm to tease around his fingers before letting it fall to her own side, "He won't do that again."

Stefan couldn't have this conversation with Elena in the room. He took Caroline's arm, and led her outside, closing the door behind them. He pushed her against the wall, placed both of his hands on the wall either side of her head, invading her space, and asked in a low voice, "How can you be so sure that he won't?"

"Stefan..." Caroline raised her hands to cradle his face, her eyes searching his, finding concern and fear in their depths, "I should have left him alone when he asked. I pushed him too far."

"Don't you dare blame yourself for his inability to control his anger." Stefan declared passionately, it was not her fault, and he wouldn't have her feel bad for Tyler's actions.

Caroline didn't want to argue about this any more. She stroked his cheeks, her eyes showing her gratefulness for his protectiveness over her, "I need to talk to him, Stefan."

Stefan shook his head against her hands, his eyes glassy and his voice was low, "Why?"

"Because I loved him, and I want him to one day be my friend again." Caroline took a chance, and softly covered his lips with hers, wanting to reassure him.

Stefan kissed her back fiercely, possessively, his hand burying in her hair, his other curled around her waist to pull her to him. He was jealous, possessive, and scared. He couldn't lose her.

Caroline allowed Stefan his need to claim her mouth, his hands on her body holding her desperately. She knew he was concerned for her, and maybe a little jealous, but she didn't understand why he didn't want her to go.

Stefan pulled back panting, staring into her big beautiful blue eyes, dropping his head against her as he admitted, "I can't lose you."

Caroline was surprised, "You won't."

Stefan swallowed, before admitting quietly, "Tyler's bite ruined my life once." His eyes looked haunted as he remembered that blood soaked summer spent with Klaus, "I can't let that happen again."

Caroline pulled Stefan into her arms, closing her eyes, and burying her face in his neck, "That won't happen, Stefan, I promise." She pressed kisses against the skin beneath her mouth, "I'm just going to talk to him. I'll be back before you have a chance to miss me."

"Impossible." Stefan tightened his arms around her, a smile in his voice, "I always miss you when you're not here."

Caroline smiled against his neck pleased, "Me too."

Stefan just stood with her in his arms for a few moments more, letting the feel of her pressed against him soak into his soul, and chase the fear away. Finally he tilted his head down, nuzzled her hair, when she turned her head up he pressed a delicately soft kiss on her lips, lingering against her, before he reluctantly pulled away.

Caroline smiled at him, her hand stroking his cheek, "I'll be fine."

Stefan nuzzled her hand, his eyes closing as he nodded, "Just... hurry back to me."

Caroline's heart skipped a beat, her voice was barely a whisper, "I will." She released his cheek, and began to walk away.

Stefan couldn't resist taking the few steps toward her, grabbing her hand, and pulling her straight into his arms and his mouth. He sunk his hand in her hair, his eyes closed tightly as he kissed her with a desperate hunger that threatened to consume him. He was jealous, he knew he was, and this was his way of staking his claim, even though Tyler couldn't see him, just feeling Caroline respond to him equally as passionate as him, soothed his raging beast.

He released her as abruptly as he grabbed her, breathed heavily against her lips, his eyes darkened pools of desire, "Come back."

Caroline smiled, trailed her fingers along his kiss swollen lips, feeling the puffs of his breaths against the pads of her fingers, "I'll always come back." She span around, and headed to her car. If she looked back she knew that she would be tempted to stay.

Stefan watched her go until he couldn't see her any longer. He had a pit in his stomach, uneasy now that she wasn't with him, and he knew it wouldn't go away until she was back.

He went back inside, and continued asking Elena questions, but his voice was no longer carefree, and there was no laughing from him. He kept watching the door, and looking at his phone. Just waiting until Caroline called him or opened the door and he knew that she was safe.

Caroline was sitting on the couch in the Lockwood House. Tyler walked over and brought her a cup of coffee, which she took trying to smile, "Thank you. mm.. good coffee." She tried to break the tension between them, "Although I usually take mine with a little more awkward silence."

Tyler almost smiled, "Nice try, but you don't take anything with silence."

Caroline sighed, "I know that it is soon, probably too soon, but I just want to know if we can be friends."

"I don't know." Tyler clenched his jaw, a glare on his face, "Could I ever be friends with the girl that slept with the man that killed my mother?"

"Look, what happened with Klaus my mistake, and I'm sorry that it hurt you. But..." Caroline would not allow Tyler to make her feel bad any longer, so she narrowed her eyes at him, "You walked away from me. I asked you to stay, and you chose Klaus over a life with me." Tyler averted his eyes from her, and she knew she was getting to him, "I told you that I would never take you back after that."

"So you slept with Klaus? To get back at me?" Tyler's voice was hurt and angry.

Caroline felt like slapping sense into him, instead she folded her arms over her chest, "Believe it or not, Tyler, but my every action isn't about you. We broke up. I moved on."

Tyler furrowed his brow, "You moved on?"

Caroline held up her hand, "Before you even think it, no not with Klaus." She shook her head at him, "Did you really expect me to sit around waiting for you to come back and suddenly decide that you actually want to be with me? It wasn't fair to me."

Tyler knew that she was right, but he was still to angry to acknowledge it, "So you don't care about me any more? You've moved on."

"I'll always care about you, Tyler." Caroline smiled, her eyes softening, "And I hope that one day we can become friends again. But I won't push you. It's in your hands." She shrugged her shoulders, "You can keep me in your life, or never speak to me again."

Tyler clenched his jaw, his hands twitching. He wouldn't decide that right now, he was still to angry and hurt to make the proper choice, and if he picked wrong he knew that she wouldn't change her mind back. He nodded at her to show that he understood.

Caroline was glad that she had said her piece, now it was time to talk about Matt, "SO, Matt. Um, he's missing?"

Tyler was glad for the change in subject, "He's not missing, he just hasn't been home for two days and he's not answering his phone."

Just then, the door opened, and Matt finally came home.

Caroline looked him over in concern, "Matt?"

"Caroline.." Matt looked at her presence in confusion, he was sure that Tyler wouldn't just invite her over after what she did, "What are you doing here?"

"Kind of wondering the same thing." Tyler crossed his arms over his chest, and asked, "Where the hell have you been?"

Before Matt can answer, Nadia appeared at the front door, but she can't come in any further because she hasn't been invited in, "Did I give you my sunglasses?" She was looking in her bag, then looked up, surprise on her face at the faces staring at her, "Oh.. I thought you said they wouldn't be home."

"Okay, Rewind, start over." Caroline stared at the two of them in disbelief, "This whole time, you've been with Nadia?"

"It's a long story." Matt turned to Nadia, and invited her in, "Nadia, come on in."

Stefan had stepped out of the parlour to retrieve a blood bag when he heard his cellphone beep. He took it out of his pocket, after reading it he couldn't help the smile on his face.

False alarm. Matt had a dirty weekend with Nadia. EW! Be home soon. xoxo

The way Caroline referred to the boarding house as home had Stefan grinning from ear to ear. The pit in his stomach finally eased, though it wouldn't totally disappear until he could see her with his own eyes. He sipped from his blood bag, as he sent her a text back.

Can't wait. Be quick. Miss you.

He breathed a sigh of relief that she would be home soon. He quickly finished his meal, chucking the empty bag in the trash. He went upstairs to subtly get rid of Elena. He wanted to spend the rest of the day with Caroline.

Caroline opened the door to the boarding house, calling out, "Stefan? Elena? You here?"

Stefan smiled as he heard her voice, he got up from his position in the chair by the fireplace, and walked to meet her. The moment he saw her he wrapped his arms around her waist, and buried his nose in her hair. He was relieved that he couldn't smell Tyler on her, that meant that they hadn't touched, and the sharp sting of jealousy that had been twisting his gut all day finally went away.

Caroline returned his hug, her arms curling around his neck as she breathed him in, "Where's Elena?"

"Gone. I sent her home." Stefan pressed whisper soft kisses across her neck, his fingers stroking up and down her back, "I want to spend time with my girl."

Caroline smiled, running her fingers through his hair and over his neck, loving the little shiver that ran through him. His own roaming hands were making her breathing quicken, and heat to build within her core.

Stefan slipped his hands underneath her top to caress the soft skin of her back, his kisses moving across her jaw to her mouth. He sighed in content, his hand sliding up her back to hold her against him, not wanting to part from her at all after spending the better part of the day apart.

Caroline opened her mouth to Stefan, their lips moving in sync, tasting each other sensually. She ran her fingers across his t shirt covered chest, scratching against his nipples, giggling when he nipped her mouth in response.

Stefan walked her across the room, his mouth still attached to hers, when her legs hit the seat he lowered her down onto the couch, lying down on top of her, settling between her thighs. He ran his fingers up her legs, one hand sliding up her side to tangle in her hair, the other he placed against her palm, threading his fingers through hers, raising it up to rest on the armrest above her head.

Caroline held tight to Stefan's hand, her other she slid down his back, to cup a firm butt cheek in her hand, and giving him a squeeze as she pushed up her hips to rub against him, smirking at the groan he let out. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her slipping beneath his t shirt to glide across the muscles in his back.

Stefan moaned, sliding his mouth across her cheek, to take her earlobe between his teeth, and sucked it into his mouth. The gasping moan he heard made him grind his hips against hers, moving his lips to her shoulder, where he kissed across her skin, his fingers hooking under the strap and pulling it off her shoulder as his mouth followed. He released his hold on her hand to do the same to the other strap.

Caroline gasped as she felt his mouth wrap around her nipple, she arched her back, pushing her breasts closer to him, her free hand cradling the back of his head. She vamped them to a sitting position, her straddling his waist, as his lips still teased her breasts. She pulled his head away from her chest, their lust darkened gaze staring at one another, before she dived back to his lips, her hands on his chest, gliding down to take hold of the hem. She sunk her teeth into his bottom lip, as she pulled it up, only pulling back to toss it over her head. She took the time to admire his defined chest, trailing her fingertips over him.

Stefan moaned as she teased him with her light touches. He took hold of her flowing top, slowly drawing it up her body, pressing kisses against the skin it revealed, before throwing it. He cradled her breasts in his hands, stroking his thumbs across her nipples, watching her face in fascination as it twisted in pleasure.

Caroline slid off his lap, ignoring his moan of discontent. She stood up, hooked her thumbs in the waist of her pants, sliding them down her legs, pulling her feet out of her boots. She stood naked before him, his worshipful gaze made goosebumps appear on her skin. She chewed her lip, and knelt down between his thighs, her hands immediately reaching for his belt.

Stefan lifted his hips up so that could pull his pants over his hips, and he kicked them off the rest of the way. He curled his hands in her hair, pulling her back to his lips, a groan leaving him as her hand wrapped around his hardness. He kissed her with more passion, his head tilting for better access, her moans passed from her to him, the sound music to his ears.

Caroline held his cheek as she lost herself in his arousing kisses. His mouth was magic against hers, the way he moved his mouth, and stroked his tongue, made her channel tighten with desire, and her pussy to flood with wetness. She pulled back, sat on her heels, and ran a fingernail over his cock.

Stefan shuddered, his eyes watching Caroline's desire filled eyes rake over him. He was torn between pulling her mouth back to him, or letting her continue to where he hoped she was going. He settled for threading his fingers through her hair, massaging her scalp, his breath catching as she moved closer to him, her hands sliding along his thighs.

Caroline pressed kisses across his stomach as her hands kneaded his thighs, moving lower until her she pressed a kiss against his head, blowing softly on the tip. The groan he let out sent a shiver down her spine. She wrapped her lips around his cock, slowly descending until he hit the back of her throat, she swallowed and he slipped down her tight channel. She hummed in delight, before ascending just as slowly until she reached the tip, circled her tongue around his head before plunging back down.

Stefan's breaths came in pants, groans of pure ecstasy slipping from his mouth, as he watched Caroline bob up and down on his cock. He loved watching her pleasure him in this way, the way she took him in, the absolute delight she took in driving him wild. The way she moaned around him, making him thrust his hips up every time. She was perfect, and her beautiful eyes sparkled back at him. God, he could come just from the look in her eyes; full of desire, happiness, and that devilish glint that only came out when they were alone, and wrapped completely in each other.

Caroline pressed her tongue against the vein in his dick as she moved faster and faster, her hands rolling and massaging his balls, bringing him to the edge so that he would fall off. She loved how he came apart when he released inside her mouth, his hands would tighten just shy of painful in her hair, he would push his cock deep in her throat, and released either a groan, or a moan, or her personal favourite, a growl of her name. That always made her pussy throb with desire.

Stefan felt he was approaching his end, the perfect way Caroline sucked him off made holding on almost impossible. He watched her gorgeous mouth swallow him whole, his member glistening with her saliva, her moans making him come apart. He tightened his fingers in her hair, pumping his cock down her throat, a throaty growl escaping him as he came, "Caroline!"

Caroline moaned around his cock as she swallowed every last drop, her fingernails digging in his thighs as she continued to suck and lick him gently. When he started to twitch and groan helplessly she finally released him from her mouth. She placed a kiss on his dick, loving the affect she had on him.

Stefan took her face in his hands, pulling her to his mouth where plunged inside, groaning as he tasted himself mixed with her own unique taste. He sunk one hand in her hair, the other he placed under her butt lifting her into his arms. The small shriek she let out made him smile against her mouth, walking her across the room as he continued to kiss the breath out of her.

Caroline kissed him back feverishly, her legs curling around his waist, her hands clutching his back, as she got lost in his kisses. She didn't realize how far they'd gone until her he set her down on the cool counter in the kitchen. She pulled back, her chest heaving with her harsh pants, her pussy wet and throbbing, and probable dripping onto the counter below her. The thought for some reason made her groan, and circle her hips across the counter to try and relieve the ache in her core.

Stefan ran his finger along her slit, humming in the back of his throat at how wet she was, "You are soaked for me, Caroline." He sucked the finger into his mouth, groaning at her sweet taste. He vamped to the fridge, pulled out a can, and was back in front of Caroline within seconds. He held it up for her to see, "Something extra creamy."

It was a can of whipped cream.

Caroline giggled, and laid back on her hands, her eyes heavy lidded as she watched Stefan, anticipation tightening her stomach as she waited for when he would spray it on her skin.

Stefan shook the can, spread kisses across her shoulder, and sprayed it against her breast. He dipped his head, and licked up the cream on her breast, twirling his tongue around her nipple. He turned to spray her other nipple when the can was snatched out of his hand.

"Two can play this game, Stefan." Caroline smirked, spraying some against his neck, before she latched on. First licking a path up the cream, then she opened her mouth against his throat, and dug her teeth in as she licked the rest.

Stefan took the can back, and sprayed a line down her stomach. He lowered his head, licking it off in short licks, the moans she let out made him smirk, he knew she was getting turned on by this, he could smell it, her arousal filling his senses.

Caroline pulled his head up, spreading cream across his nipples. She sucked his creamy bud into her mouth, her other hand smearing it around his other nipple, which she then licked a path too, eating up all the cream.

Stefan sprayed it against the lips of her pussy, threw the can across the kitchen, and dropped to his knees burying his face in her now even sweeter pussy. He moaned as the cream mixed with her juices, his mouth and face now smeared with the cream, and he licked and sucked her in delight. His thumb brushed her clit, circling her faster and faster, the cries she let out had his dark hard and ready. He wanted to be inside her, but he wanted her to come first.

Caroline's sticky hands slid across the counter as she tried to grab onto anything as Stefan ate her pussy frantically. Her hips were jerking against his face, as her pussy tingled and throbbed, she threw her head back to scream out his name, "Stefan!"

Stefan didn't even give her time to recover, he just plunged his cock straight inside of her, his hand on her stomach as he held her down on the kitchen counter, his hips pounding into her. Groaning as her slick channel clenched around his dick as her walls still trembled.

Caroline's eyes rolled into the back of her head as Stefan slammed her pussy as the waves of orgasm still rode through her. She wasn't going to let him have all the fun, so she tightened her legs around his waist, pushed herself up so that all her weight was on him, and as she began to move her hips against his as they both fell against the fridge.

Stefan buried his sticky fingers in her hair, as he brought her lips back to his, kissing her passionately as he bucked his hips into her. His fingers clenching in her ass cheek as he moved her against him.

The fridge banged against the wall as they moved against it, whatever food inside was in danger of falling, or any bottles crashing. But they didn't care, they were too lost in each other.

Caroline placed her hands on the fridge as she rolled her hips against Stefan, cries escaping her as he latched onto her throat, his moans reverberated against her skin. Before she knew it she could feel her pussy throb and tingle again. She pushed against the fridge so hard that she sent them both flying back across the room to hit the counter as she came screaming, "Stefan!"

Stefan pushed her down against the counter, took hold of both of her legs, spreading them wide as he thrust hard within her tightening channel. Her continued moans of ecstasy mixed with his own groans, and he slammed her legs closed against his hips as he jerked once more, shuddering as he came, her name falling from his lips like a prayer, "Caroline... holy shit... you feel so good..." He collapsed on top of her, his face buried in her chest breathing hard.

Caroline was laid out against the counter, her arms spread around her, her legs dangling off the counter uselessly, Stefan's hard body warm against her chest. She was... well fucked. She was surprised that no one had burst in, she hadn't even checked to see if anyone was actually home. She managed to lift her arm, to stroke her fingers lovingly through Stefan's hair, "Good thing no ones home."

Stefan laughed breathlessly into her chest, "You weren't exactly quiet." He couldn't hide the proud smirk on his face, she was glorious, every single time they were together, he became insatiable, a crazy wild animal who was completely lost in the temptress underneath him.

Caroline pressed a kiss against his mouth, her thumb brushing his cheek when she wrinkled her nose, "We are all sticky."

Stefan wiggled his eyebrows, his eyes teasing, "Are you complaining?"

"Nope." Caroline giggled, curling her arms around Stefan's neck, "I do think we need a shower."

"Mmm." Stefan hummed in the back of his throat, gently picking Caroline up so that he held her up under her ass, "Together?"

"Duh!" Caroline rolled her eyes.

Stefan grinned, nuzzling his nose against her sticky cheek, "What my girl wants, my girl gets." He vamp sped through the house to his bedroom and the connecting bathroom.

Caroline's giggles flowed throughout the house as he sped, and they continued in the bathroom. Before turning into deep moans.

Downstairs, buried amongst the pants and shirts on the floor, a cell glowed bright and it beeped with a message. It was from Matt.
