Chapter 7
Disclaimer: I don't own the Vampire Diaries. I'm just borrowing. Only the story is mine.
Note: Previously, in "Heart of the Ocean," Katherine and Elijah have a steamy interlude, and Klaus and Caroline have some private time in the gym.
Hey, guys! I know that I've been behind in my updates for this story (the last time I touched it being November 19, 2014), but it was hiatus due to a lack of inspiration. Since I've got a moment now, I'm going to treat you to an update for your patience. No spoilers, just enjoy what I have here.
ON WITH THE SHOW!
Caroline & Katherine's Stateroom – Later...
Caroline carefully opened the door to the stateroom and looked around before walking in. She didn't sense Katherine anywhere, which probably meant she was with Elijah and wouldn't be back for some time. Letting out a relieved sigh, Caroline gestured for Klaus to follow her and he entered the room while the blonde vampire closed the door behind them.
"Are you positive that it's all right for me to be here?"
Klaus' question broke the silence and Caroline nodded. "Katherine isn't here, which means that your brother is occupying her for the evening. We have the place all to ourselves." She saw that he was looking around at the décor. "See anything you like, Nik?"
Smiling, Klaus turned to her. "I see something I like right in front of me." He went over to her, taking her into his arms and kissing her. "Do you know how much I want you right now, love? I want you so much, I don't care if my father came barging into this room."
"Let's not talk about him anymore, okay?" said Caroline, returning his kiss. "This is about us, not him."
Klaus nodded and kissed her harder and more urgent than before. She was right, this wasn't about Mikael and his revenge scheme against him, this was about them and how deeply they felt about each other. He then lifted her up and carried her to her bedroom, closing the door for privacy and vamp speeding them over to the wall, running his hands up and down Caroline's body, feeling her tremble against him.
"Do you want me as much as I want you, love?"
"Yes," she replied. "Take me, Nik. Take me to the stars."
Klaus smirked at her request. "As my lady commands."
That being said, he lifted her up and carried her to the bed, removing both his suit and her dress. Once they were completely naked, he laid her down on the bed, kissing her and touching her all over. He then grabbed her wrists and held them over her head, thrusting into her hard and fast. Caroline arched her back and wrapped her legs around his waist. Pulling back from his lips, she felt her fangs pop out and bit his neck without hesitation, tasting his blood as it made contact with her tongue. Shit, he tasted delicious.
Klaus let out a groan as he felt her bite him. Her little fangs tearing into his neck felt like heaven to him. He'd say this for Caroline, she was quite an amazing creature, and he was going to risk everything to protect her from Mikael, even though he had agreed to let her face him.
Several Hours Later...
Caroline snuggled up against him as Klaus held her under the sheets, kissing his chest and tasting the perspiration that lingered there. They had spent the last several hours in unbridled passion and it was the best several hours of their lives. Klaus kissed her forehead and ran his fingers through her hair. There was no doubt in his mind that he had found his mate and he was pretty sure she felt the same about him.
"That was amazing."
He smiled at her words. "It was, wasn't it?"
Caroline sighed. "Nik, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, love," said Klaus. "Ask away."
"What's your plan for taking Mikael down?"
"I thought we weren't going to talk about him anymore?"
"I know," said Caroline. "I was just curious. If you'd rather not discuss it, I understand."
"No, I'll tell you, seeing as how we're going to be allies," said Klaus. "My plan to take down my father is to drive a white oak stake through his chest and watch as his body burns. That is the best way to effectively kill an Original. Only when he's dead can I truly live in peace."
Caroline nodded. "I think you mean we, Nik. I'm in this too, remember?"
Klaus chuckled. "You're right, you are." He kissed her forehead again. "I promise you, Caroline, we will win this. I've come too far to lose a bloody war, especially now that I've got an ally like you on my side." He kissed her lips. "I love you, Caroline Forbes. I've loved you from the moment we met."
"I love you too, Niklaus Mikaelson," said Caroline. "More than you can possibly know."
Note: I think this is a good place to end Chapter 7, especially before I repeat anything that I already said. Stay tuned!
ENJOY THE UPDATE AND REMEMBER TO REVIEW!
