Chapter 10
Klaus' hands slid up and down slowly along the sides of her body. Without breaking the kiss Caroline reached behind her and locked the door, she didn't need anyone walking in on this. She gently grabbed Klaus' tie and started to loosen it. Klaus placed his left hand at the back of her neck and gently pushed her against the door; pressing himself to her. His right hand slipped under her shirt and he let his fingers graze over her skin.
Caroline moaned softly the moment his fingers touched her bare skin. She didn't know it until that moment but she had been desperately craving his hands on her body for days. She began to unbutton his shirt; she pushed it off his shoulders and let it fall to the floor leaving him in a sleeveless undershirt that showcased his muscular chest perfectly. Klaus had moved from her lips to her neck, he came across the zipper to her skirt that was at her hip and slowly pulled it down. He lifted his head up and rested his forehead against hers so he could stare into her eyes. Caroline's skirt fell to the ground and pooled at her feet. She kissed along Klaus' jaw line then moved her hands to the waistband of his pants and unbuttoned them. His pants quickly found their way to the floor along with his shirt, his undershirt and then her shirt.
Caroline pushed Klaus back until the back of his legs hit her desk. She was about to slip her knee high boots off until he brushed the hair that had fallen in front of her face. "Leave them on, Sweetheart." He whispered.
Caroline giggled as she pressed herself to Klaus. "Alright." She whispered back. Klaus ran his hands up her body then around to her back to unhook her bra. His fingernails raked down her arms as he pushed the straps off her shoulders then tossed her bra to the floor with the rest of their clothes. He then slid his hands down pushing her panties off on the way. She stepped out of them and Klaus admired her; completely naked, wearing only her black knee high boots. Caroline quickly pulled down his boxer-briefs and pushed him back onto her desk. She crawled up his body placing random kisses on his skin along the way.
"Caroline." He whispered. It was actually more of a soft moan than a whisper. He needed her and couldn't take the waiting anymore. She was kissing his chest and lifted her eyes to look up at him. She smiled against his skin at the noises he was making. "Sweetheart, please."
Caroline crawled up to his face and traced his ear with her tongue. "Please what?" She whispered. Klaus placed his hands on her hips then slowly slid them up her body. He let his thumbs graze over her nipples and she let out a soft moan. He cupped either side of her face with his hands and gently brought her lips to his. Without breaking the kiss Caroline poisoned her hips perfectly then slowly slid down onto him. They both moaned against each other's lips at the intense feeling. Caroline broke the kiss and slowly sat up; deepening their contact. She moved her hips against him and ran her hands along his toned chest. Klaus rested his hands on her hips but let her remain in control of the speed.
He wanted to flip them over; he was trying to figure out how to do it without knocking everything off her desk. He placed one hand on her lower back and pulled her down to him placing small kisses along her jaw then landing on her lips. As gentle as he could he rolled them over so he was now on top of her. He managed to do this while only knocking a few things to the ground. Caroline giggled. "That is a beautiful sound." He said softly as he ran his thumb across her lips.
Klaus began to slowly move above her. Caroline tried to thrust her hips up to increase the speed and depth but Klaus placed his hand on her belly and bent down to her ear. "Eh eh eh let's not rush, Sweetheart." He whispered. He kissed along her ear as he continued to move in and out of her slowly.
Caroline could feel herself reaching her climax. Klaus recognized the signals and realized that she was close which brought him close to his. Caroline arched her back and pushed her head back at Klaus pushed her over the edge. She brought her head back to look at Klaus and he rested his forehead against hers as they regulated their breathing. Klaus raked his fingers through Caroline's soft hair. Caroline smiled and bit her lip causing Klaus to let out a low chuckle that Caroline found extremely sexy. She pulled his head down gently and placed her lips on his. "We should probably get dressed…in case anyone…comes to the…door." She said in between kisses.
"OK." Klaus said before giving her one last deep passion filled kiss. He slowly got off the desk and first gathered up her clothes and handed them to her then gathered up his own and got dressed. "So, I will see you later?" He took a few steps towards her and placed a few soft kisses on her lips.
Klaus pulled away and Caroline smiled up at him. "Bye." She whispered.
Klaus walked over to the door and opened it to find Kol standing there getting ready to knock. "Oh, hello Klaus. How are you?" He said. Klaus really didn't like this guy, he didn't want to be rude so he smiled and nodded as he walked passed Kol and left.
Kol walked in and Caroline took a seat behind her desk. "Hi." She said looking at her computer rather than Kol.
"Hello, Darling." Kol walked around her desk and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. He leaned up against the desk and crossed his arms over his chest. "Have you heard anything about the senior editor interviews?"
"No." The president lives in Boston so I guess they will be whenever he comes here."
"Oh." Was all he said in response.
"So, were you surprised? I mean some of the other people up for the position have been here just as long as I have." Part of Caroline didn't want to ask because she didn't want to seem like she didn't think he deserved it, but in reality there were others that deserved it more.
Kol laughed. "Not really. I mean I am dating the best senior editor."
Caroline made a confused face. "What does that have to do with anything?" She asked directing her attention more to Kol. "And no one in the office even knows…"
"Well…I may have told a few people. That isn't a big deal is it?" He asked.
"When did you tell them?" She asked as she shook her head. She really didn't like the fact that he was saying he is in line for the promotion because of her. She would never be so unfair to the others that deserve a shot at the position as well.
Kol shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know maybe the week before the reunion."
"Kol, we had barely gone on three dates then. We were certainly not dating."
"Well, it doesn't matter now, right?"
"I guess not." She said softly. She did find it a little presumptuous on his part to tell people you are dating a girl that you have been out with three times. "But why would you think that it is because of me that you are being considered?"
He shrugged his shoulders again. "I didn't really mean anything by it, Darling."
This whole conversation felt off to Caroline. It was obvious to her at that very moment why some people refused to date co-workers. "Look I have a lot of work to get done. So I will talk to you later."
"Sure." Kol placed his hand gently on her arm. "We are OK, right?" He asked.
"Of course." She said with a smile.
Kol left her office and she dropped her head in her hands. She couldn't believe that she had sex with Klaus…in her office. She smiled. "Amazing sex." She said to herself. She bit her bottom lip and felt her cheeks get hot. She closed her eyes and shook her head. "What is wrong with me?" She said to herself.
It had almost been a week since her and Klaus' little office shenanigans. She and Kol had dinner once in that time but that was it. His comment about her being the reason for his possible promotion was still bugging her; even if he was just joking around. She was at her desk at work going through her emails; she came across one from the President of the company stating that he would be flying into New York tomorrow and they would do the interviews for the new senior editor position.
"Wow, talk about short notice." Caroline said to herself. She sighed this meant she had to come up with a couple questions she could ask so she didn't look completely useless during the interviews.
About twenty minutes later Kol popped his head in and shot her a smile. Caroline smiled back but was secretly a little mad that he hadn't knocked. "Hey" He said.
"Hi." Caroline said. She kept finding little things that were annoying her about Kol and part of her felt bad because he had meant that comment as some kind of joke and even though she didn't find it funny it probably wasn't a reason to pick at everything else he was doing.
Kol walked in and took a seat at one of the chairs in front of her desk. "So, how are you?"
"I'm fine." Caroline said as she finished typing something on her computer.
"So, have you come up with questions for the interviews tomorrow? I am available if you want to try them out."
"Kol." She said in a serious tone. "I can't give you the advantage like that." Caroline was shocked that he would even ask, but after the comment he made last week maybe she shouldn't be.
"No, no you are right." He said. "Sorry." He paused and looked away from her. "I just thought you would want to help out your boyfriend." Kol got up and walked to the door. Caroline wanted to say something to him but she really didn't know what to say. She was starting to believe that his little comments about the job and her influence weren't jokes. She pushed her thoughts aside and tried to clear her head. She had to get back to work and couldn't let all this personal stuff cloud her mind right now.
Caroline had about twenty minutes before the interviews started so she decided to clean up and organize her desk since it hadn't been done in well over a week. She smiled when she came across one of Klaus' drawings, he must have missed one when he grabbed them off her desk. She put it aside and pulled out her phone. 'I just found one of your drawings on my desk. You must have forgotten it here last week.' She hit send and tossed her phone back in her purse.
The intercom on her phone beeped then her secretary's voice came over it. "Caroline, Mr. Windsor is here to see you." Caroline was a little surprised that the President of the company was dropping by her office before the interviews but didn't think too much of it.
"Oh, send him right in please."
Her door opened and Mr. Windsor walked in. "Hello." He said with a warm smile.
Caroline always liked him. He wasn't a harsh man; he was always smiling and very friendly to everyone. "Hi."
"I was wondering if I could speak with you for a few minutes before the interviews start."
"Of course." She said as she slid her chair away from her computer and gave him her full attention.
"I understand that you are in a serious relationship with one of the people being considered for the new position so…"
Caroline shook her head with confusion. "I'm sorry, I don't want to interrupt but, yes I began dating someone a few weeks ago that is up for the position but I would hardly call it a serious relationship."
"Oh." He paused and this time he looked confused. "I'm sorry I thought you had been dating for four and a half years."
Caroline's eyes widened. "What?" She said barely above a whisper. "No, um I didn't meet Kol until he started working here." Caroline was beyond confused she had no idea what was going on.
"Well, that is odd." He said shaking his head. "When he had met with me after we bought out his company, he had said that he was dating you and that you hoped he would become a senior editor with our company." He paused. "I was coming here to talk to you because I do value your opinion and you are our best editor so if you believed he deserved the job…"
"Oh my god." Caroline said. She was shocked, angry, upset and to be honest a little scared that he knew about her before even starting to work here.
"I'm sorry…" He said. He really didn't know what to say in this odd situation. He stood up and headed to the door but Caroline stopped him.
"Can you do me a favor?" He nodded and waited for Caroline to continue. "Can you not tell him that…we figured this out?" She paused. "I'm just not sure how I want to handle this yet."
"Of course." He said nodding.
Klaus smiled as he read her message. He wasn't smiling at what she had texted him but just the simple fact that she had texted him. He was happy the drawing was safe with her; he had been looking for it and needed to finish it before his next meeting. Klaus wanted to hear her voice so he decided against sending her a text back and in favor of calling her.
Caroline dropped her head into her hands and shook it back and forth. Kol had used her. She couldn't believe it. He was so sweet and kind…" Her phone started to ring so she stood up and answered it without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?" She said trying to hide the millions of emotions flowing through her at the moment.
"Hey." Said the familiar voice. "Are you alright?"
"Klaus." I was a little surprised. "Um…yea." She paused. "No. I am having a bad day, sorry." She said with a sigh.
"Tell me what happened." Caroline sighed again and was quiet for a few seconds. She was fighting against the tears that wanted to spill from her eyes. She felt so stupid. "Caroline?"
"I just found out that Kol was using me for some new job opening at work. He apparently told the president we were dating before I even met him, and I am a little freaked out by that...sorry I don't mean to ramble on with all of this but I just found out two minutes ago so I am in shock.
Klaus was furious; he couldn't believe that Kol would use Caroline to get ahead at work. "What an ass." He said through his teeth. They were both quiet for a few minutes before Klaus broke the silence. "Sweetheart please don't be upset he is an asshole."
Caroline sighed. "I know."
"Do you mind if I swing by your office this afternoon to pick up the drawing? I have to get it ready for the next meeting."
"Sure, absolutely."
The interviews went well. She hated that Kol kept looking at her and smiling at her every three minutes during his but she tried her best to ignore it. She really didn't want to deal with him today so she went to her office and locked her door the minute they interviews were over. She decided that she would wait for Klaus to pick up his drawing then she would cut out of work early.
About an hour later her secretary had called in and told her Klaus was there. She got up and unlocked the door and then locked it behind him.
"How are you doing?" He asked. Caroline walked over her desk and stood in front of it. She shrugged her shoulders. "Are you still upset?"
"Actually…" She began. "I am more scared. It really freaks me out that he knew my name and he knew the fact that I was single before he even got the job here."
Klaus really wanted to go find Kol and ring his neck for even attempting to hurt Caroline like this. Klaus gently placed his hand on Caroline's arm and gently pulled her into his chest. "Come spend the night with me, at my house tonight." He whispered in her ear. He kissed along her jaw. "I will cook you dinner." He placed a few feather light kisses on her lips then pulled back waiting for an answer.
Caroline sighed; she looked away from him and thought about it. She was ready to say no until she looked back into his eyes. "OK" She whispered with a smile.
Klaus smiled and pulled her in for another kiss. "I will pick you up at six thirty." He said softly against her lips. Caroline turned around and grabbed his drawing from her desk then handed it to him. "Thank you." He whispered. His thumb grazed against her cheek causing her to slightly shiver. "I'll see you later, Sweetheart."
Klaus left Caroline's office with a smile. The minute he got into his car he pulled out his phone and opened a text message. 'I have to cancel our appointment for this evening. I am very sorry.' He scrolled through his phone and stopped when he landed on his client Lisa's name. He hit send then drove to the supermarket to pick up food for his dinner that night.
So there is Chapter #10; I hoped you enjoyed it! Please don't forget to review! ;)
