Charlotte's prediction had been correct. Upon waking early the morning, Charlotte stretched and then sat up; wincing a little at how sore she actually was. It was worth it though, she thought. Her night with Klaus had been better than she had ever expected. Although, truth be told, despite her almost constant flirtation and teasing since her arrival a month ago, she had never truly believed Klaus would take her to his bed.

The memory of the night before made her smile and she a tingling sensation beginning to develop in her lower regions. Pushing away her thoughts of the blonde-haired man, Charlotte dragged herself from her bed, showered, and dressed for school.

"Good morning, Stefan. Oh, hello, Caroline." Charlotte chirped as she entered the kitchen to find her brother with his arms wrapped around his girlfriend.
"Hi, Charlotte."
"I didn't know you were here. Did you stay the night?"
"Yeah, I did. You're wonderful brother here took me out for dinner last night."
"Aw, Stefan, you're such a romantic." Charlotte teased, watching her brother roll his eyes at her tone.

Charlotte stuffed some food into her bag for lunch and was just about to leave the room when Stefan cornered her.

"And where were you last night?"
"I was at Emma's."
"Until nearly eleven?"
"Yes, Stefan. I'm not a child. Honestly, you're almost as bad as Damon." Charlotte sighed. "Now, I have to go otherwise I'll be late. It was nice seeing you again, Caroline."
"You too, Charlotte. Bye."

With that goodbye Charlotte was off. She was almost at school when she felt her phone vibrate and alert her of a message. She looked at the sender and smiled. She had not expected to hear from Klaus so soon.

Do you want to meet up?

Charlotte stared at the message. She had given Klaus an out when she left last night. She wanted more than just one night from Klaus but she did not expect anything from him; she had made that much clear. For Charlotte, she did not want a relationship with the man, that would be difficult and make things even more complicated than they were already, but she did fancy him and she couldn't deny how badly she wanted to be beneath him again.

I'm at school.

Afterwards?

Okay.
I'll pick you up.

The tingle that had been present when she woke came back with a vengeance as Charlotte placed her phone back into the pocket of her jeans. It was clear to her that Klaus wanted more as well and she was more than willingly to give him what he wanted.

"Nice love-bite by the way."
"Right back at you, Emma."

It was the end of the school day and the two girls were walking down the corridor towards the exit. Charlotte knew Emma was curious about who had marked her in such a way, especially since she had not made any indication that she fancied anyone, but she was not willing to tell her best friend about Klaus.

"Kol likes to bite."

Charlotte couldn't help but smile, knowing that Klaus was exactly the same in that manner.

"You might want to be careful, Emma. I don't think your dad will be too pleased about Kol."
"Excuse me, but who are you to talk?" Emma laughed. "Have you seen your neck?"
"My dad's never around enough to notice what I get up to. It's Damon I have to worry about. He took one look at it the other day and freaked. I swear, I thought he was going to have a coronary the way he was going on."
"I'm surprised he didn't try and kick the guy's ass."
"He'd have a hard time doing so. I didn't tell him who gave it to me."
"Who did give it to you?"
"He was just some guy, Emma. It's not important."
"I can't believe you're keeping things from me!"
"I'm not! There's just nothing to tell." Charlotte lied.

By now they had left the school and found Kol waiting for Emma, leaning against the hood of his car. Charlotte sighed with disgust as she watched her friend throw herself at the youngest Mikaelson boy. It was clear to see that Emma was far more into Kol than Kol was into Emma, and Charlotte just couldn't fathom what it was her friend saw in the guy.

"Do you want a ride, Charlotte?"
"Not from you, thanks, Kol. I'll see you tomorrow, Emma."

Charlotte waved goodbye to her friend and began to walk down the street, seeing Kol's car pass her as he drove Emma home, or more likely, to his house.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Stopping in her tracks, Charlotte turned to see Klaus standing before her. A throbbing in her panties began instantly at the sight of him. He was just as sexy clothed as he was naked and above her.

"You tell me."
"I was under the assumption you would be in my bed."
"I'm sore."
"I'll be gentle."

Seeing the small smirk that lined Klaus's face, Charlotte gave in and smiled. She knew from the moment he messaged her that morning that she would be on her back by the end of the day, but she still liked to act as if she had some willpower left in it.

"Okay then." Charlotte smiled.

Walking towards his car, Charlotte noticed the bag Klaus held in his hand and wondered about its contents.

"What's in the bag?"
"Supplies." Klaus replied; lust dripping from every part of his body.

Charlotte understood instantly.

"Shame" she said. "I quite liked it when you came inside of me."

From the corner of her eye she could see Klaus stop dead in shock, which caused her to smile with glee. Oh, how she enjoyed shocking that man.

Over an hour later Charlotte was to be found lying on her stomach, supporting her weight on her elbows as she lay naked in Klaus's bed. As promised, Klaus had indeed been gentle with her; careful not to hurt her or cause her any discomfort. Charlotte marvelled at how he was still just as good in bed being gentle as he was being rough. He was a man of real talent.

"Next time, I get to be on top."
"Whatever you say, love." Klaus murmured. He had his eyes shut and a grin on his face.
"And you can stop smiling like that."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Of course not." Charlotte laughed, rolling her eyes at the beautiful man.

Turning her head away from him. Charlotte let her attention wander past the bag that held the condoms, all of which remained unused, and out of the window that was similar in size to the one in Klaus's living room.

"What are you thinking about?" Klaus asked of Charlotte, turning towards her and letting his fingers trail lightly up and down her back.
"This is just sex. You know that, right? I don't expect anything from you."

Sighing, Klaus rolled over onto his back again and stared up at the ceiling. He wasn't exactly sure what it was he felt for Charlotte. All he did know was that he enjoyed having her around and got even more enjoyment from having her in his bed. He knew a relationship was out of the question. Charlotte was younger than him by just over six years; not that big of an age difference, he thought, but it was big enough to cause some problems. His close relationship with her brothers and father only made matters more complicated.

"This can be whatever you want it to be, love."
"Well right now, I want you to be inside of me." Charlotte stated as she moved her body closer to that of Klaus's.

The sound of knocking disturbed the silence in the room and both Charlotte and Klaus let out a small groan at the interruption. Leaving the bed, Klaus redressed and went to investigate the noise; wondering who could be knocking on his front door.

"Do not get dressed. I intend to ravish you again once I'm back."
"I'm going to hold you to that."

Leaving a naked Charlotte spread out in his massive, plush bed, Klaus opened his front door.

From the comfort of Klaus's bed, Charlotte could hear Klaus opening the door to his apartment and greeting whoever stood on the other side. The open crack of the bedroom door allowed her to hear the voice of the person who spoke back and she froze with panic. The voice belonged to none other than her brother, Damon.
