"Yes, I do know about yours' and Elijah's.. companionship." He managed to say through clenched teeth, confirming my suspicion. I just sat back and waited for his anger to settle, not wanting to aggravate him more. "Needless to say, I didn't let bygones be bygones. I have to say, it was one of the most exhilarating fights I've ever had, being able to beat him to a bloody pulp after knowing what he did with you." He downed the rest of his glass of wine and leaned back in the seat, spreading his arms out across the back of the chair. I took this as my cue that he had calmed down slightly.

"So Elijah takes all of the blame for our companionship, as you said?"

He smirked, "Oh no, I intend to get back at you tonight." I gave him a confused look before the waiter came with our check. Of course, Klaus compelled the poor guy to let it be on the house. I would hate to be him when he has to talk to his boss.

Klaus offered me his hand to take so that we could leave, which I gladly accepted.

"I just don't get why you compel people for everything. You have more than enough money to actually pay for everything you buy." I said as we walked out of the restaurant. Klaus' car was driven to the front by the valet before he gave the keys back to Klaus.

"Because I love having the power to control people." He smirked as he assisted me into the car before closing the door and going around to get into the driver's side.

"You're twisted." I laughed, rolling my eyes. He turned to look at me and laughed too.

"But you love me all the same." He winked.

I shrugged, "I can deal without." I said in a carefree voice. I felt him glaring daggers in the side of my head. "Kidding! I'm just kidding, my love." I laughed and turned to look at him with a beaming smile. His expression remained blank as he turned his eyes back to the road. "Niklaus," I groaned, "don't be like that."

"I love it when you groan my name." He smirked while I rolled my eyes.

"You're so full of it."

We made it back to the house and as we began ascending the staircase, I remembered something Klaus had mentioned before. "I'm curious as to how you're planning on getting me back, as you said you were going to."

He turned towards me, pulling me into him, "Well, you see, my love," he began as he tucked my hair behind my ear and inclining his head, bringing his lips closer to mine. I closed my eyes in anticipation, but nothing came. I opened my eyes to see Klaus already beginning to continue walking up the stairs. I practically screamed.

"You cannot be serious, Niklaus!" I exclaimed, exasperated.

"Dead." He smirked before going into his room with me in tow.

"Oh, you are cruel." I glared at him as he started taking off his tux.

"Part of the package, love."

"There's just one slight problem with your plan." I said as I walked up to him and pushed my body up on his.

"And what's that, sweetheart?" He asked, swallowing hard.

I put my hands on his bare chest, "You won't be able to follow through with it. You won't be able to resist me." I said with a smirk.

"Want to bet on that?" He said, taking hold of my wrists and putting them by my side.

"With pleasure." I smirked before turning to walk into the bathroom. I touched up my hair and make up before taking off the dress. I decided to leave my heels on before making my way out of the bathroom to see Klaus lying on the bed exactly like he was yesterday when I walked out.

"Woops, forgot something." I mockingly apologized as I walked towards my bags in just my bra, underwear, heels, and my new necklace. I saw his lust-filled eyes follow me as I walked across the room. As I reached down to my bags, I made sure to angle my body so that when I bent down at my waist, he got a nice clear view of my ass.

I got what I wanted out of my bag so I strutted back to the bathroom to change. I pulled on the blood red and black lace babydoll chemise I loved so much. I strutted out of the bathroom, making sure to capture Klaus' attention. It wasn't a hard task to do.

His eyes followed me as I started to head out of his room, "And where do you think you're going?" He asked, finally moving from his position on his bed.

"I'm thirsty." I answered innocently, knowing full well that there were a bunch of horny hybrids down the stairs.

"Oh, no you don't." He said, taking a hold of the crook of my arm and holding me back.

"Why not? Don't want to share me?" I smirked, "Could that be because you want me and can't resist me?"

His jaw clenched, "No, of course not. Go right ahead." I was amused at his reaction as I took my arm back from him and started descending down the stairs. As I started to make my way towards the unfinished kitchen to get a glass of water, I heard cat calls and whistles ensue.

"Now, does Klaus want you all to himself or can I get a piece of you too?" One hybrid came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Believe me, there's enough to go around." I flirted back. Just as I was about to turn around to see who the mysterious guy was, I felt him being ripped away and heard him being smashed against the wall. I already knew what happened even before I turned to see.

Klaus had the guy pinned against the wall viciously, "Don't you ever fucking touch her again or I'll rip your heart out myself." He threatened as I smirked in celebration.

"Does this mean I win?" I asked angelically.

"Yes, okay Aisling? You fucking win, alright?" He exclaimed exasperatedly, still not taking his glare off of the guy.

"I'll see you upstairs, love." I said cheerfully, kissing his cheek and making my way upstairs.

Five minutes later, Klaus walked into the room as I laid on the bed waiting for him.

"Don't make bets you can't win, Nik." I smirked and saw his face get even tenser. He sped over to the bed and quickly attacked me, ripping my chemise off of me. I was too in the moment to care.

I woke up in the morning and turned my head to see Klaus staring at me. "You owe me a new chemise."

Klaus laughed, "I'll buy you more lingerie," he kissed my forehead, "as long as I'm the only one that gets to see you in it."

"Fair enough." I smiled.

"So what's the verdict?" Klaus asked me.

I looked at him confused, "What verdict?"

"Do you still want me in your life?" He asked, staring into my eyes.

I hesitated, seriously debating. In truth, I had forgotten all about our deal. I weighed the pros and cons. In less than two days, he practically had me right where we left off, and that scared me. I did still love him, but did that really outweigh all of the bad? I had lists and lists in my head of why I should say no, but my stupid humanity was always there trying to change my mind. Am I really going to give up my life's goal over less than two days with him?

I had finally made my decision.

"Yes."
