A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the wait! School has been crazy, finals and papers uggh. But, its a necessary evil -_- Well, here's Chapter 10, hope you enjoy :)
He enjoyed indulging in the small pleasures of his immortal existence. Sure, extravagant lifestyles and over-the-top luxuries suited him just fine as well—but there was something about the little things that put him at ease. For instance: holding Elena-the precious being that he'd hunted down for so long- and listening to her heartbeat had quickly become one of his favorite little pleasures.
He wasn't asleep; he hadn't been for a while now. And yet he dared not move, afraid to break the warm, silent slumber that she'd slipped into. So he settled for pulling her a little closer, resting his head atop of hers protectively and vaguely reminisced when he'd had the pleasure of such small stolen moments such as these with Charlotte during his human life. Rarely did they ever get a moment alone, away from the constant hovering of her father. But when they could, they'd divulge their secrets, their hopes, desires, fears…
Klaus' eyes opened as he heard the distinct sound of heavy footsteps approaching the room. He silently growled to himself, knowing that the moment that whomever knocked on the door, his morning of peace would be broken.
Sure enough, as the rapping of the door sounded on cue, Elena shifted in his arms and opened her puffy eyes. She looked up to Klaus, who offered her a lazy smile.
"How are you feeling?" he questioned, ignoring the second round of knocking.
She rubbed her eyes and winced slightly, holding her head in her hands. "Sore…and my head is killing me…"
"Well that's what happens when you cry yourself to sleep," he reprimanded as she sunk below the covers, tentatively covering her head.
"Are you going to get that?" she mumbled.
"Yes, and I plan on killing whomever is on the other side of that door," he grumbled, getting out of bed and striding over to the door. He swung it open to reveal Zack, who was now wide eyed at Klaus' lack of clothing.
"What?" Klaus demanded. "You seem to have a knack for waking me, and I know you can hear well enough to know that I was sleeping."
"Um, yes. But the guys are downstairs and they were looking forward to your presence at breakfast since you had…taken off so early last night," Zack turned his gaze away from the hybrid, who huffed in disapproval.
"I'll be down momentarily," he replied, shutting the door in Zack's face before turning to glance over his shoulder toward the bed, noticing that Elena was now sitting up and gazing at him. He smirked, and she promptly averted her gaze, flopping back down onto the bed. Klaus blurred back under the covers, startling her a bit as he settled his hand on her hip lightly.
"I saw you peeping," he teased, running his hand over her hip and over her buttock. He was rewarded with the feel of her skin goosebumping underneath his fingertips.
"Aren't you going down for breakfast?" she inquired shakily, fighting the urge to nuzzle in his warmth.
"Would you rather me stay here and ravage your body some more?" he tested, gaining a pointed look from Elena. He smirked and licked his lips. "You know you would."
"Not even," Elena rolled over and turned her back to Klaus. "I'm sure last night got the job done. Plus I'm…sore."
"Well we can't be too sure now can we?" he pressed himself closer to her as he inhaled her scent. He dipped a finger between her legs and felt her gasp as it slid between her hot, swollen womanhood. "Hm. Looks like you aren't lying about being sore."
Elena elbowed him in the chest roughly and made a b-line for the bathroom, shutting the door firmly behind her. Klaus rubbed his chest and smiled, shaking his head before gathering his clothes.
Klaus entered the banquet room to find the group of vampires awaiting him expectantly. He took a seat beside Zack as the other men greeted him respectfully. They carried on their previous conversation about the whore houses of various countries while Klaus regarded them carefully.
On his immediate right were twin brothers from Russia, Viktor & Aleksy. There were two females- a blonde from Wales named Siophan and a French mademoiselle named Nicole. There was a large, burly German vampire who sported a scarred face named Axel, and finally there was an older vampire from Bulgaria, who looked to be in his forties, named Ivan. Klaus had not seen the group together for some time now, since before his initial journey to America in search of Elena. He knew that they were anxious to see how his plight had ended, and he also knew that Ivan, specifically, had a particular interest in the possibility of gaining his own hybrids from Klaus. As Klaus predicted, it was he who brought the issue up first.
"So Niklaus, you're still alive and well. And from the smell of it, a hybrid," Ivan joked, earning a slight scowl from Klaus.
"But nonetheless handsome, even moreso in my opinion," Nicole smiled warmly at Klaus. "It's good to have you back, Nik."
"Yes because I'm sure you all missed my presence so very much," Klaus stated with false enthusiasm, and the group laughed lightly. "So, what's been new with you all? It has been a while since I've been surrounded by friendlys."
"Well, of course you know Zack opened up this gorgeous new hotel," Nicole gave Zack a delighted look. "I, of course, have been working on various fashion projects back in Paris…"
"Im sure Bekah will be thrilled at that," Klaus snickered.
"And the twins have been working the club scenes here as usual. Siophan fell in love with a human, and…"
"Way to put it Nicole," Siophan shoved the other vampire slightly as she giggled.
"Human eh? Come now Siophan, surely you don't expect much to come from that, now do you?" Klaus questioned.
"He's great Nik, I think you'd actually get along with him. He's very trustworthy, he wants me to turn him but I'm afraid I'm having too much fun with him as a human for that just yet," she admitted.
"Well I suggest you turn him so he'll have a fighting chance against Aleksy, you know he's still in love with you," Klaus joked as he nudged Aleksy with an elbow, who grimaced uncomfortably.
"And what of you Axel? Still working the high-end whore houses?"
"You know me Nik, that's what I live for," the man chuckled deeply.
"And then there's you," Klaus turned his attention to Ivan. "Still awaiting me to deliver a slew of hybrids to your doorstep?"
"Well that's always a hope of mine Niklaus, but one that I don't count on soon," he smirked. "But I see that you did manage to free yourself from that pesky curse, so I gather that you finally managed to track down and kill the doppelganger?"
"Not exactly," he shrugged. But he didn't miss the way Ivan's eyes lit up slightly, and he turned to see both Rebekah and Elena approaching the table.
"Nik, how rude of you to leave both Elena and I upstairs starving," Rebekah pouted as she pulled up two chairs for her and Elena to sit.
"Lovely as always, Rebekah," Viktor bowed his head at her, making her smile in approval and subsequently making Zack glower.
"And you must be the lovely doppelganger," Ivan interjected, looking at Elena intently. She tucked her hair behind her ear nervously. "You truly are a sight, almost as beautiful as Katerina was."
"You would know, wouldn't you Ivan? Considering she toyed with you like every other man and turned you," Klaus narrowed his eyes at Ivan, shifting slightly closer to Elena.
"Yes, my dear Katerina, such a free spirit…that is, until you condemned her, of course," Ivan spoke levelly, but Elena could see his eyes betrayed his calm exterior.
"She crossed me far before your time; you'd be wise to remember that," Klaus snapped.
"Okay, well, we came down for some breakfast," Rebekah interrupted, patting her brother on the back and picking up his glass of blood, taking a sip. "Oh, O-. My favorite!"
"Any chance of there being any real food?" Elena asked Zack, who simply smiled at her.
"Of course darling, you can call up room service and order whatever you'd like," Zack replied, placing a hand on Klaus' tense shoulder.
"So the doppelganger lives, and is still human no less. How'd you manage to get around that Niklaus?" Ivan pushed onward. "Is she yours, then? I can smell your scent all over her, but I'd be willing to pay any price to share…"
Klaus rushed over to the opposite side of the table where Ivan sat and grabbed him by the throat, hoisting him from the floor.
"I've had enough of your mouth for the next century, boy. Just because you are a descendant of Aleksandra does not mean I won't hesitate to end you. You're so interested in what a hybrid can do, then let me be the first to show you," Klaus' face shifted as his fangs slid out. Ivan flinched as Klaus neared his neck.
"Klaus stop," Elena spoke lightly, surprising everyone as she stood. Klaus glanced at her and his golden eyes softened back to the steely blues. "Let's just go home, I don't feel so well."
Klaus glared at Ivan once more before tossing him to the ground and walking past Elena angrily, out of the doors. Elena rubbed her temple lightly and exhaled as Rebekah stood to leave as well.
"Wait, you're Nik's new woman?" Nicole asked incredulously, eyeing Elena.
"And she's human! See! Told you I wouldn't be the only one!" Siophan cheered as Aleksy rolled his eyes and Viktor snickered. Ivan stood to brush himself off and eyed Elena as she and Rebekah took off to follow Klaus.
"I don't know why you continue to push your luck with him, always running that damned mouth of yours," Zack snapped as Ivan took his seat again.
"You know what weres are capable of," Axel took a moment to run a hand over his scarred face. "And he's an original. So I can only imagine what he can do."
"I'm perfectly aware that he could kill me as easily as snapping a twig in two," Ivan sighed. "I was moreso interested in striking a deal in getting a few hybrids, but…"
"Obviously that plan has gone out the window. Honestly, you let the idea of Katerina affect you still to this day," Nicole rolled her eyes.
"Well she was my maker and I loved her," Ivan snapped in defense.
"I wouldn't dare make try to make a move on that human, though," Nicole looked at the door, wrinkling her nose in slight disgust. "He seems to care for her in some way."
"And how do you figure that?" Ivan grumbled.
"Because had she not interrupted, you'd be dead right now," Zack shot him a look that shut him up for good.
Elena picked at her omelet with the fork as Klaus watched her intently from the other side of the kitchen isle. Elena put the fork down with an audibly clank, and then lifted the cup of orange juice up to her mouth to drink it. As she finished, she peered over the cup's rim to find that the hybrid's eyes had not left her yet. She all but slammed the cup down onto the counter.
"Look, I said I was sorry. Next time I won't intervene when you're about to kill someone," Elena sharply spoke. Klaus blinked nonchalantly as he stood from his spot and began to circle around to her side.
"I'm looking to see if I can notice any changes in you, you know, to see if I succeeded last night," he narrowed his eyes, looking her up and down as if she was a specimen.
Elena huffed in annoyed. "I don't feel any different Klaus, just a headache still."
"Well then go upstairs to bed, and take some Tylenol," he suggested. "We'll have another go at it tonight."
Elena glared at him. "How can you speak of this so plainly!"
"It's just sex Elena. Nothing more and nothing less," he shrugged.
"Oh right, I'd forgotten that you've had the other two, what's a third copy to add to the list?" she retorted.
Klaus frowned and stopped his analysis of her. "For your information, I never had sex with neither Charlotte nor Katerina."
"Why should I believe you…" Elena rolled her eyes and stood up from the isle, heading towards the stairs. Klaus blurred in front of her quickly.
"Is that what this little attitude is about? You think that you're the third one of 'you' that I've slept with?" he demanded, grabbing her arm. She ripped out of his grasp.
"That has absolutely nothing to do with it. I just hate having to be the sex object of a dog!"
Klaus raised his brows. "Funny, because last time I checked, you were screaming this dog's name out in pleasure last night."
Elena couldn't take any more of his smug attitude. She knew it wasn't the brightest idea before she even did it, but at this point, the headache combined with her aching body screamed at her to do something. So, she raised her hand and slapped him with as much force as her tiny body could exert. His head snapped to the side slightly, and his eyes flashed dangerously gold before he clenched his teeth and grabbed her by her wrist, dragging her up the stairs. Elena kicked and screamed out, pulling against him, though her effortlessly staved off her fit of rage. As they made it to the second level, he began pulling her down the hall towards his room, and all of the kicks and screams in the world would do nothing as he dragged her into his room and threw her on the bed. Elena reared up, gaining balance on his bed as she stood, and grabbed the closest object in her reach-the remote.
"Put the remote down Elena," he growled, edging near the bed. Elena eyed him as he got closer and closer, never letting her back to him, and he suddenly stopped, causing Elena to hurdle the remote as hard as she could at him. He easily caught it, and smiled dangerously as she hopped off the bed and made a sprint for the door. He caught her by the waist and once again tossed her onto the bed, pinning her down underneath him.
"Let me go Klaus, let me go!" she screamed and kicked, and suddenly bit into the skin of his forearm that was holding her arms above her head. Klaus winced as her dull teeth sunk into his skin, drawing blood, and as she pulled her head away his eyes shifted.
"Oh so you wanna bite, is that it?" he growled and smiled down at her sardonically, and just as swiftly bit into her neck. Elena continued to struggle, but her will to fight drained with every mouthful of blood he took, until she found herself with an arm looped around his neck and panting softly. Klaus withdrew his fangs and bit into his wrist, forcing it to her mouth. Well, not necessarily forcing it, as Elena sucked greedily from the wound, letting the sweet warmth heal her. As his blood began to take effect in her system, she suddenly found that her headache and body aches were gone, and instead was replaced by the carnal need to have him within her again. As she pulled back, Klaus dipped his head down to suck his blood from her bottom lip, as Elena began to fumble with the buttons of his shirt. He pushed her hands away from his shirt, and sat up, ripping it off and causing the tiny buttons of the delicate Armani shirt to scatter about the room.
Elena panted as he quickly stripped her of everything she wore and flipped her on belly. She reddened as she could feel him sit back on his legs and admire her figure, and ran a hand down her back and over the curve of her round buttock, humming in pleasure. She felt him get off the bed, heard the sound of a zipper and pants piling onto the floor, and then felt his warm body hover over hers again as he lifted her up onto all fours. He brushed her hair over her shoulder and nipped lightly, before roughly thrusting himself into her.
Elena felt the breath being physically shoved out of her as he pushed into her with such force without warning. She couldn't decide if she wanted to scream in pain or in pleasure as he pulled out and slammed into her again. She could only manage to barely gasp out his name.
"Kl..Klaus."
"What's that Elena? I can't hear you," he pulled out and once again pushed into her with all his might, reveling in her raspy gasp. 'I'll show her who the damn dog is...'
"Ahhh…." She gasped and tried to scoot up as he thrust into her as to not take the full brunt of his punishment.
"No you don't, you're not going anywhere," he pushed her down so only her ass was in the air, and he held her in place firmly as he drove himself into her repeatedly, setting her nerves on fire.
"Oh my God…..Ahh!" she screamed as he angled himself slightly different to hit her deepest wall.
"Say my name Elena," he rasped out, feeling himself nearing the edge as her already swollen heat began to grip him tighter with every dive he took into her. "Say it!"
"Kla…Klaus," she cried out, digging her nails into his one hand that gripped the pillow beside her head.
"Uggh you feel so damn good…" he stopped pulling out and instead kept pressing himself in as deep as he could go. He sat back on his legs and pulled her up with him so that her back was against his chest and he could grind deeply into her wetness. She looped an arm around the back of his head and pulled at the hair on the nape of his neck as he entwined one hand with hers, the other reaching down to play with her sensitive bud.
"Ohh yess…right there," she grinded on him even harder, feeling herself near the edge as he picked the pace up with his fingers.
"Elena…"he groaned and kissed her neck, gripping her fingers tightly in his as he felt himself come in her.
Elena felt the searing heat of him fill her and she suddenly reached her climax, arching her back and crying out his name as she trembled against him. He slowly eased her forward until she was once again lying on her belly, and pushed himself softly into her a couple of extra times before pulling out and lying beside her, listening as her quickened pulse begin to slow.
She hugged his pillow and cracked her eyes open slightly to see him looking at her through half-open lids. 'That one must have worn him out, too…' she thought, satisfied that he seemed as placated as she felt. She tried to get up, but he shook his head and placed his hand on her back to gently push her back down.
"Stay," he said wearily, and closed his eyes.
Elena watched him as his breathing slowed and he drifted off into sleep. She found herself unable to fight against the exhaustion that had settled over them in the wake of their tumultuous joining, and let her eyes shut slowly.
Elena was awoken to the feel of feathery fingertips running up and down her body. She opened her eyes to see Klaus looking at her, rubbing over her skin so gently that she almost didn't know if he was touching her or not. He met her eyes ruefully, and bent his head to rest on her bosom as he continued his quiet touches of her body. It took several more minutes before he spoke.
"I got a little out of control earlier. It wasn't my intention." He stated solemnly.
Elena looked down at him confused. "I'm fine," she sat up and he looked at her critically. "What's wrong?"
He brought a hand up to her cheek and cradled it gently, running his thumb softly over her bottom lip. "Nothing…I had a dream. Or a nightmare, I suppose."
"About?" she inquired softly.
"It's…it's not important."
'Yes it is, or you wouldn't be so shaken up,' she thought, but thought better than to say it. "Okay. What time is it?" she asked him.
"About 8:30," he replied quietly, gazing off into nothingness. Her brows knitted in concern as she took the hand that was stroking her cheek into hers. "Klaus?" No reply. "Klaus?"
He suddenly looked at her, and then smiled slightly. "Do you realize that though we've been intimate, I've yet to kiss you properly?"
Elena was taken aback slightly, but nodded her head silently in agreement. He lifted his hand to pet the side of her hair softly, and looked out the window of his room.
Elena couldn't help but think of his words. It was true-they had yet to share a proper kiss. But given the situation, would it be too intimate? She looked at his lips-full, pink, soft, and hot. Against her neck, her body, they felt wonderful. But against her lips…
She brushed off everything telling her no and began to lean in towards him, and kissed his cheek softly. He turned, focusing on her as her lips pressed lightly, experimentally, against his. She lingered for a moment, but pulled back as she didn't feel him responding. She only got to pull back momentarily, for Klaus placed his hands on either side of her face and began to slowly massage her lips with his. Elena was right-his lips felt wonderful on her body, but they felt like heaven as they pressed skillfully against her lips. He ran his tongue over her bottom lip, and she opened her mouth, granting him access to the forbidden cavern that was her. They began a quiet battle with one another as Elena felt him push her down gently and hover over her now. He trailed soft kisses from her lips to her neck, and further down still, rolling his tongue over her twin peaks and down to her belly button. Elena sighed in contentment as he placed peppered kisses over her belly and hips, and ran her hand over his head gently. But then he began to venture further down, and Elena stiffened.
"Klaus…Klaus, wait," she called down to him as he pulled her thighs up.
"Shhhhh….you'll enjoy this, trust me," he whispered, softly placing kisses starting at her inner knee and down her thigh.
"But Klaus," she moaned as he kissed the apex of her thigh, then a kiss right over her bud, making her shiver. He smiled against her skin as he began to lap at her, causing her to lift up off the bed slightly.
As he was continuing to pleasure her, Elena's head was spinning in all different directions. 'What is he doing to me…why am I letting him do these things to me…he feels so good, he makes me feel so good…'
Her thoughts were cut short as Klaus clamped down on her bud with his lips and sucked vigorously, causing her to moan and twist her hips in delight. She took hold of his head in her hands and gently pulled him up to move up her body. He made his way back up to her, his lips hovering over hers, before she spoke lustfully.
"I want you in me."
Klaus licked his lips and positioned himself at her now dripping core, and smoothly pushed himself into her. She lifted up to capture his lips, and tasting herself on him was making her even more aroused than she already was. He pressed into her gingerly, exploring each and every curve and crevice of her, memorizing which spot made her make the most noise, which spot made her clench around him the strongest. They joined together in a slow, sensual rhythm, both of their breathes mingling soft and heavy, before Elena pushed at his chest for him to get up. He sat up slightly, questioning her, before she motioned for him to lie on his back. Klaus smiled pleasantly surprised as Elena crawled over top of him, and, placing a kiss to his neck just as he had done her, lowered herself onto his throbbing member.
Klaus closed his eyes and let his head sink heavily into the pillow as he gripped her hips and she rode him, slowly and steady at first, but then eventually the pace became erratic and hot as they both felt for their release. Elena laid forward onto his chest, letting Klaus pump up into her rapidly as she felt herself coming for him, gasping his name out. As she came so too did he, deeply pushing everything he had into her, holding her close as they both trembled with the aftershocks of passion. After the high began to fade, and Klaus pulled himself from inside of her, Elena found that she didn't feel like crying. Instead, she found herself content to lie on top of him, immersed in his warm arms, and once again be lulled to sleep by his steady breathing.
A/N: Chapter 10 done! a little longer than usual, but hopefully you guys enjoyed the double whammy of lemony goodness ;-) Had to introduce a few new characters into the mix-don't worry, they aren't just there to hang out and look pretty, they'll serve a purpose coming later. Until then, our duo seems to be progressing nicely :) As always, reviews & subscriptions greatly appreciated. xoxo
