The night is all consuming rapture their bodies laying claim and daring to challenge even one another to try and prevent this from transpiring.
Bodies taunt with need as the energy between them builds in such a way neither is certain who the room can contain it as their bodies rock together.
The bed frame nearly cracking under the overwhelming pressure of their exertion as they chase their highs into the early dawn before their languid bodies come to rest.
Klaus wakes her with warm kisses to her neck and his hands wrapped around her torso the drag of him tucked against her as he pushes closer.
"Good Morning," Caroline murmurs, her voice half lost from their lovemaking turning her tired body to look at him smiling at his sleepy form.
Klaus' hand glides up to her knee pulling it over his hip framing her body to his keeping them close as she lays her hand on his arm.
"My mother is going to kill me," Caroline mumbles as he kisses her with a chuckle at her words at a time like this when his hand plays with the side of her breast.
"Correction, she'll kill me and by extension you," he says as she rolls on top of him leaning her elbows on either side of his head as her face hovers over his.
"No one is dying," Caroline corrects hating her lack of filter which almost ruined her good mood but his smile now seems worth it as his hands press to the forming bruises of her hips.
"Was I too rough?" he asks his eyes lingering to the array of marks over her body as Caroline sits up on his stomach under his stare.
"Most of these are from the moon Klaus," she assures him, "And the ones that aren't I'll wear with pride just like you'll wear the new scratch marks of her your back."
"You sure know how to make a grown man blush," Klaus replies with his dimples on full display making Caroline's insides flutter and grow warmer.
His eyes darken the slicker she gets between her thighs and Caroline wants to be embarrassed but finds she isn't just brazen and aroused.
She feels his body tense and tight under her, "Among other things," he adds leaning on his elbows as her hands drag down his stomach right in front of where she sits.
"As much as I'd like to show you what else I can do," Caroline says sitting back feeling his length twitch at the contact, "I have work."
"Call in mated," Klaus quips sitting up making her body slide down his stomach he hisses just as her heat takes its place over his hardened cock.
"As much as I'd like to," Caroline replies breathlessly rocking against him softly, "I can't," she tells him as she holds onto his neck and takes a kiss.
"Just as well," Klaus replies disappointed, "I'm behind on a few things," he tells her as he flips them so she's pressed into the mattress under him.
"But just as soon as you're home this evening," he promises his eyes darkening and stealing her breath, "I want to see you like this naked and underneath me again."
"Don't pout," he says as he face falls and he sucks on her upper lip tasting her, not kissing just tasting and teasing her mind with things to come.
"What are we going to do?" Caroline asks as he moves off of her with ease climbing out of bed and searching for his scraps of clothing.
"Your pack will know by now, if they don't already suspect after having left my scent on you yesterday," Klaus tells her as he tugs on his jeans.
"You're right," she agrees remembering the way Bonnie sniffed the air sensing something off after she woke him and told him to go.
"I'll call my mom and then we'll talk," she says planning already even though most of it is in her mind and Klaus is only privy to bits and pieces as she speaks.
"But for now it's just us," Klaus says bringing her back to him with a kiss to her hand and Caroline can't recall when he came to sit by her on the bed.
"And I need to shower," Caroline sighs not missing the way his eyebrows shoot up and seem to his under his hairline at her words.
"Not with you, I'll never get to work," she says kicking off the rest of the bed sheets watching his expressions change as his eyes linger over her.
"I have to get home before I do something rash," he says hoarsely as Caroline sits up on her knees and pulls her hair up into a half hazard bun.
"Tonight then," she says knowing what she's doing to him because even fully dressed he does the same thing to her she thinks as she slides off of the bed.
Her hand reaches for the curve of his length in his trousers cupping him relishing in the groan he gifts her in response before his hand lies over hers.
"No teasing," he warns as his hand cups her ass bringing her closer to him each moment and their lips fall together as one before parting for the day.
"Are you my claim or am I yours?" Caroline whines knowing theoretically speaking he is hers because she is to become alpha at some point.
"You'd be surprised," Klaus replies with a sort of conspirator tone as he lets her go walking backwards towards the bedroom door leaving her to start her day.
Caroline waits until she hears the door click closed as she weighs his words playing them over in her head and reminding herself that one thing was for certain.
She hated surprises, she tells herself as she follows his scent to the door and locks it quickly unable to keep the smile from pulling at her lips even with her worries.
Her eyes follow the trail they made from the evening before leading to her bedroom making her blush as she skips to her bathroom feeling a good kind of sore.
Her body has been perfectly bent and spread she thinks as the water hits her scalp and runs down her body trying not to think about the fact that Klaus is doing the same thing doors away.
