Thank you for the reviews! You guys are amazing!

Omni Royal Orleans Hotel – That Evening...

Klaus tried not to act too nervous as he walked into the hotel. He had texted Caroline earlier and told her that he was going to book them a room for the night. To keep things discreet, he was going to use Kurt Milton, the alias he used two years ago during an undercover narcotics bust, as the reservation name. He had also convinced Rebekah to look after Liam for the evening, telling her that he was going to be working late.

When he arrived at the front desk, Klaus saw a very friendly young woman smiling at him. In fact, if he didn't know any better, he'd say that the poor girl had a crush on him. Pity that I can't return her feelings, he thought. I'm a widower and I'm having a clandestine affair with a professional cat burglar.

"Good evening, sir," she said. "What can I do for you tonight?"

Klaus returned her smile and then looked at her name tag. "I'd like a room for the evening...Debbie. Non-smoking, one bed."

Debbie nodded as her fingers practically flew across the keyboard of the computer she was using. "And your name?"

"Milton. Kurt Milton."

"And will you be paying with cash or credit card?"

Klaus wanted to say credit card, but stopped himself. He couldn't use his credit card, because his real name was on it and there was a good chance that he'd get caught. "Cash." That was a close one. Good thing I brought plenty of money with me. Of course, I'll have to be very careful about this. I made a promise to Caroline and damn it, I'm going to keep that promise.

Debbie got all the necessary information and gave him a key card. "You're in 531, Mr. Milton."

Klaus nodded and gave her two $100 bills before heading to the elevator, riding it up to the fifth floor. Another smile appeared on his face, mostly because he was proud of himself for being able to fool Debbie so easily.

When he reached the fifth floor, Klaus walked down the hall toward the room. He then took out his phone and decided to send Caroline a text.

"Booked us the room. On my way there now."

He sent the message and then, a few seconds later, his phone vibrated and saw that he had gotten a reply from Caroline. He'd say this for her, she was definitely fast, which was one of the things he found endearing about her.

"What floor are you on?"

"Fifth floor. Room 531."

"Sounds good to me. I'll see you there."

Klaus smiled again and put his phone away. When he arrived at the room, he used the key card to open the door and walked in, after which he saw Caroline sitting on the bed, smiling at him. She had climbed in using some suction cups that she often used to scale buildings. Once inside, she disgarded them into a pouch on her belt.

"Well, this is a nice place to have a rendezvous," she said. "Why just be discreet when you can be discreet with style?"

"I also didn't want to use my apartment," said Klaus. "At least, not until I get the charges dropped against you." He sighed as he hung his jacket up in the closet. "Stefan started asking questions and it was difficult to explain things to him without lying."

Caroline's eyes widened. "You didn't tell him the truth, did you?"

"Relax, love, I didn't reveal anything," said Klaus. "I just told him I went to the red light district."

"Seriously? The red light district?" said Caroline. "Oh, Nik, how could you say something like that?"

Klaus sighed again. "I know, I know, I was mentally kicking myself for saying such a thing." He took off his shirt and approached the bed, sitting down next to Caroline, pulling her into his lap, kissing and nibbling her neck. "I just want to forget all about it."

Caroline moaned as she felt his lips on her neck, as well as his teeth. She threw her head back and let him continue his kisses and nibbles, taking his hands in hers and guiding them down her body before turning around in his arms and pushing down onto the bed, kissing him and still guiding his hands. Klaus returned her kiss, biting her bottom lip. Caroline then helped him take off her corset top, which she then threw onto the floor.

Growling playfully, Klaus rolled over until he was on top, caressing and kissing her breasts, and then trailed kisses down her body until he got to her skirt, pulling it slowly down her legs, earning him a bit of a jerk from her. "You like that, sweetheart?"

Caroline nodded. "Yes. Oh, Nik, don't stop, please, I want you in me."

Klaus smirked, enjoying hearing her saying his nickname like that. "As my sultry little cat burglar commands."

He pulled her skirt all the way down her legs, as well as her stockings and panties. He then took Caroline's hands and helped her undo his belt and then take off his pants and underwear. Once they had discarded all of their clothing, Klaus grabbed her hips and drove his throbbing cock into her core, thrusting hard and fast into her. Caroline gyrated in time with his thrusts, keeping in sync with him. Shit, this sexy detective sure knew how to make a woman feel special, and there was no doubt in her mind that he wasn't regretting the decision to pursue her romantically.

Caroline felt herself getting close to the edge and let out a scream of pleasure, Klaus following suit half a beat later, the heat between them rising at least ten, fifteen degrees, making the room even hotter than it was when they began their little play. Of course, neither of them gave a shit. The only thing they cared about was the hot, steamy sex that they were engaging in.

Several Hours Later...

Caroline sighed as she and Klaus held each other close under the sheets of the bed. It had been several hours since they began and it was the best several hours of their lives. "That was amazing."

Klaus smiled. "Indeed." He kissed her forehead. "You were amazing, Caroline."

"I don't want to take all the credit here, Nik," she replied. "You were pretty amazing yourself." She kissed his chest, tracing the tattoo on his shoulder. "How long do you think it'll take to get the charges dropped against me? I'm not being impatient or anything, I just want to know."

"I don't know, really," said Klaus. "But, I don't want you to worry about that. I'll take care of it and then, we can truly be together."

Caroline nodded. "Good." She kissed the tattoo she had been tracing. "This is a very nice tattoo you have, Nik. I like it. A feather with birds flying out of it is a very beautiful design to get."

"I got it last year," said Klaus. "It was my birthday and a few of the guys, Stefan included, decided to go to a tattoo parlor. Since I was the birthday boy, I got the first choice, so I chose the feather you see before you. Granted, it was a bit of a peculiar choice, since they thought I was going to get something tough, like a panther or maybe even a wolf, but I opted for the feather. Thankfully, Stefan backed me up, telling them that it was my birthday and if I wanted to get a feather tattoo, then a feather tattoo was what I was going to get."

Caroline smiled. "Stefan sounds like a good friend to have in a sticky situation. Hopefully, when you convince the District Attorney to drop the charges against me, I can meet him, as well as the rest of your family."

"I'll definitely make that happen, love," said Klaus. "It may take some time, but I promise you, I won't let you down."

Caroline nodded and kissed him.
