Hey guys! My writer's block finally left and I was able to finish the chapter.
Enjoy :)
"Sorry mate, I didn't quite catch that." Klaus yelled over the strong wind as he stood on top of one of his buildings, holding a man upside down by one ankle over the ledge.
"Mr. Mikaelson please!" The man begged.
On top of dealing with Mikael, Klaus also had his side business to keep track of, clients to regulate.
This one in particular had him in more than a tiff, given that he was forced to leave a naked Caroline in bed this morning after being informed of his client screwing him over.
Caroline begged him to stay and a strong part of him was willing to give in but he knew leaving this unattended would result in chaos.
He was finding it harder and harder to leave her side every morning.
Was it just the sex? The attachment clawed at his nerves.
Klaus smirked at the man he was holding's screams, loving the terror in his voice and that he was the one causing it.
"Come now, mate how long have we've been friends? I give you merchandise in exchange for basic loyalty and you cousin even mange that?" Klaus asked.
He shook his head frantically, face glowing red as the blood began rushing to his head.
The vampire bent forward acting like he cared to listen. "Sorry, did you say something? You know, I think of myself as a fairly practical businessman. I keep my word and yet somehow you lot still decide to play me for a fool." He held him further over the ledge.
The man cried to God, begging for mercy as Klaus' grip loosened.
"You know, if I have to keep repeating myself I'll take that as you being disobedient. I don't like disobedience added onto that you've already stolen from me, things aren't looking up for you. No pun intended."
"I-I'm sorry!" He stuttered. "I'm so sorry! I won't do it again, I swear on everything-"
Klaus laughed. "As if you have anything worth swearing on."
"Please!" The man continued begging which only fueled Klaus more.
He got off to it.
Klaus' phone began to ring before he even got an opportunity to entertain the desperate man's cries.
Effortlessly, with the hand not holding up the man, he pulled out the phone from his back pocket and lowered his brows when he saw Stefan's name on the screen.
He grumbled before clicking answer on the screen. "Stefan."
"Hey, boss. Don't mean to bother you during a business meeting." The henchman apologized.
"Is something wrong?"
- Where's Caroline?
Was the first thought in the back of his mind.
Why was he caring where she was knowing she's at his place.
"Yeah, sure..." Stefan sighed.
The wrinkles in his forehead scrunched. "Elaborate, Stefan. What does 'yeah sure' mean?"
He heavily sighed again before speaking. "It's Caroline..."
Klaus' stomach instantly clenched.
The grip on his phone tightened and his face hardened. The man Klaus was holding over the building screeched when Klaus squeezed his ankle.
Closing his eyes briefly and taking a deep breath. "What about Caroline?"
"She's gone, boss." He hesitantly answered.
Klaus' face turned boiling red at the news.
- Gone? How in the hell is she gone?
Before Klaus left, he ordered Stefan to watch Caroline until he got back.
That was only 30 minutes ago.
Klaus loudly growled. "What in the bloody hell do you mean she's gone?! Talk quickly Stefan."
His tone threatening.
Stefan gulped. "I was watching her like you said and then when I came back from the coffee shop-"
"Coffee shop?" Klaus questioned.
"Boss-"
"Wait, did I hear that correctly or did you just tell me you went to a bloody coffee shop? Leaving Caroline alone which I specifically told you was not an option."
"Boss-"
"30 minutes. You couldn't watch and detain a human girl for 30 minutes? What use are you to me if you can't do one simple task?" He asked through gritted teeth.
Stefan was lucky he wasn't in front of Klaus right now; reddened face, clenched fists and all.
His best man couldn't do something as simple as babysit Caroline.
Why was he so angry? Was it because she went against his demands? Or maybe fear, not knowing where she could be in this huge city?
Mikael being on the loose didn't help either but thankfully he didn't know Caroline or that she was connected to him.
Klaus couldn't nor wanted to label his exact feeling but he was irritated with his loyal vampire.
Stefan gulped. "I didn't intend on leaving her alone, I swear boss. She kept asking me where you went..."
"And?"
"I didn't tell her, of course, but she quickly became restless. There was no food in the house and she was hungry. She wanted something from the coffee shop and I was following your orders of getting whatever she needed."
- Damnit.
He cursed himself.
Klaus took a deep breath. "And you have no idea where she could be?"
He shook his head. "I was going to look for her after calling you first. She has her phone, took one of your cars and some cash too." Stefan explained. "She's not that familiar with the city so I don't think she would know where to go."
"That's exactly the problem." Klaus said under his breath. "Stay there until I call saying otherwise understand?"
"Got it, boss."
Klaus quickly hung up then instantly clicking on Caroline's number.
The phone kept ringing and ringing, stirring Klaus' already anxiety.
Why was it so hard for her to just stay out for an hour? Is she lacking that much home training?
Moments like these reminded him why he wanted to kill her 95% of the time.
She usually picked up on the first ring.
His undead heart skipped when the call finally picked up.
"Hey babe."
Klaus let out an unwelcomed relieved breath.
He had never been so at ease to hear her annoying voice.
"Caroline...where the bloody hell are you?"
"Well hello to you too..." She giggled over the phone.
He was already annoyed.
"You've been quite busy this morning, haven't you love?"
"Mhmm, wanna hear all about it?"
"Not particularly."
She rolled her eyes. "Well I'll tell you anyways, so first I did some shopping. I have like 5 bags of clothes and shoes, oh! And I bought the cutest red laced lingerie set that you're going to love ripping off of me."
Klaus sighed, out of frustration and the arousal. "And how exactly did you afford all these 'gifts'?"
"I maaaay have borrowed some money and your credit credit cards, which definitely aren't legally yours by the way."
"Snooping through my things again. I guess some things don't change."
"Was there a point to your call or did you just want to bother me?" Caroline annoyingly asked.
"Smart mouth."
"I was robbed of morning sex so yeah, forgive me for being in a bit of a mood."
Klaus smugly smirked. "Love, didn't I tell you to stay and wait for my return?"
"Yeah..."
"So why didn't you?"
She scoffed. "Because I'm always waiting for your return. It's not fair and I was bored. I've done everything in that house except Stefan, unless you want me to." She teased.
"Caroline..." He growled.
Not the least bit amused by her comment.
She hysterically laughed through the phone. "Relax. I was joking, he's nowhere near my type. But honestly, you're never home and you never take me anywhere. I can't just stay cooped up in your house like a prisoner."
"You're not a prisoner, love."
"Well that's how it feels sometimes and you won't listen to me. You just tell Stefan to babysit me like I'm a child." Caroline spat.
He lowly growled. "Perhaps because you're acting like one."
"You're not calling me a child when I'm naked and waiting for you to fuck me every morning."
His breath hitched.
Klaus could hear the seductive grin on her face, knowing she was getting a rise out of him.
"Are you thinking about it now, Klaus? Thinking about what would have happened if we weren't interrupted. Maybe I would have gone down on you this time. Would you have liked that?" She said with a laugh.
"Caroline are you drunk?" He quickly asked based on her slurred but bold words.
It was barely noon and she was already drinking.
"Uhh maybe? See, after shopping I went to breakfast and indulged in some bottomless mimosas and...well you can guess what else happened." She giggled.
Klaus frustratingly huffed before carelessly dropping the man he was holding up. Not even caring at the hysterical screams for help.
He paced around the roof as he heard the man's body crash against the cement.
Not only was Caroline wandering the city alone but she was also intoxicated while doing it.
Lovely.
"I'm picking you up. Tell me where you are Caroline." He demanded.
"So bossy. Look, I gotta go but I miss you and I'll be home soon. I promise." Caroline said.
She was truly driving him mad.
Klaus was ready to say something else until glass breaking on Caroline's end of the call interrupted his thought.
"What was that?!"
"I'll be home soon."
"Caroline-"
"I love you!" She happily sang before quickly hanging up.
Klaus stilled, his phone still attached to his ear as the line went dead.
This wasn't the first time Caroline has said she loves him but a chill still crept up his spine whenever she did.
Clearly he needed to make a mental note on discussing boundaries and rules with her, again.
He heavily sighed as he texted Stefan while making his way off the roof.
Caroline paused after she hung up the phone.
- Did I really just tell him I love him?
She did love him, that was known to them both, but they agreed that she wouldn't say it anymore.
Though Caroline didn't need Klaus to say it back to her, she loved him enough for them both, he didn't like it and irritating Klaus was the last thing she needed right now.
The drunk blonde stupidly smiled at his contact name on his phone.
"Done talking to your boy toy?" Katherine teased. "Should I be expecting him to barge through my doors any second?"
Caroline twirled around in her bar stool happily. "Actually, he doesn't I'm here."
"He's Klaus Mikaelson, I'm sure he has a tracker in your phone."
"Not if he gave me a burner." She sang, waving the phone at the brunette before placing it back in her pocket.
Katherine smirked. "Another one?" She asked eyeing Caroline's empty champagne glasses.
The blonde smiled wide, resting her elbows on top of the bar and resting her chin on her folded hands. "Yes please!"
She smirked raising an eyebrow as she turned to fetch another mimosa. "What got you in such a rebellious mode today? Klaus not satisfying enough?"
Caroline scoffed. "Please, the man is a sex god. Nothing wrong in that department, trust me. Ugh the things he can do with his tongue-"
"Okay! I was just making small talk. I so do not need to hear details on what Klaus does with his tongue." Katherine claimed with a disgusted expression, placing the cocktail in front of the grinning blonde.
"Then I guess it'd be totally inappropriate to tell you that he went down on me for the first time the other night." Caroline loudly whispered.
"Oh my god..." She murmured.
"It was the best experience I've ever had."
Katherine's eyes widened. "Caroline!"
The blonde put her hands up in defense, laughing looking around to see if anyone else heard her confession.
"Your first time, though? Really?" Katherine asked.
Caroline rolled her eyes. "I know, I know. I'm a late bloomer, sue me. But I wouldn't have wanted it with anyone else." She sang.
Katherine couldn't help but lightly chuckle with her. "You're really drunk."
Caroline shook her head. "Just happy. When I think about those moments with Klaus, it makes me really happy."
"You say that as if they're rare occasions."
Caroline nibbled on her lip. "That's how it feels sometimes..."
Katherine lowered her brows and pressed her lips together. "Umm, it's pretty known that you're not allowed to go anywhere without him. And based on what I could gather from your phone conversation, he didn't exactly give you permission to leave."
She shrugged. "I was bored, and I've realized that I'm always bored and waiting for him..."
Katherine was wiping down the bar with a towel before looking up to see a previously happy Caroline, now taking small sips of her drink with a frown.
Being a bartender meant you also had to be a part time therapist, no matter how much you might not want to be.
She rolled her eyes throwing the towel aside. "Wanna talk about it?"
Caroline stared up at the seemingly concerned brunette.
She considered Katherine her friend, even though they've barely talked and when they do Katherine seems annoyed but Caroline didn't mind. Katherine knew Klaus and was rather helpful in anything involving him. She was the closest Caroline had to a friend in this city. Besides, no one has asked about what's going on with her in a long time.
Her eyes were suddenly glassy and red.
The alcohol rushing through her system as she played with her fingers and nibbled on her bottom lip.
"Klaus goes out a lot which I get...he has business and stuff to do but he use to take me with him, then suddenly just stopped. He does his thing and expects me to just wait at home all the time. Which I didn't mind at first because I knew he would make it up to me with amazing sex..."
"Lovely." Katherine sarcastically mumbled.
"And I'm not complaining about that but...I miss him. I miss him so much, not just the sex but being with him. Being his partner in crime like he promised, and I don't understand what's changed." She sniffled.
Caroline didn't even realize she was crying till she felt the tears on her cheeks.
Katherine crossed her arms over her chest.
"I love Klaus, I do. I even idiotically said it on the phone just now. But I'm not asking for much right? Wanting more from him?" She asked.
Katherine shook her head. "You're not asking for much, Caroline. But Klaus isn't exactly a 'wanting more' type of guy."
Caroline finished off her drink before carelessly resting her head on the bar with a pout and moan. "Tell me what I should do, please."
The curly haired brunette pursed her lips. "You sure you want my advice on Klaus?"
"I know you don't like him but I need you to talk to me as a friend who wants to see her friend happy with the man she loves."
"We're friends now?" Katherine asked with a raised brow.
Caroline grinned. "I hope so."
She sighed. "For starters, I'll never get use to anyone saying they're in love with Klaus Mikaelson." Katherine said rubbing her forehead.
"The only person you'll have to get use to saying that is me." Caroline claimed.
An amused grin appeared on Katherine's face at Caroline's possessive tone.
"Look Caroline, honestly the guy is an ass and waste of your time. If you really want me to be a friend, you deserve better than waiting on him. You need to enjoy life. He's not human but you are so your time of living is not infinite."
The blonde rolled her eyes lifting up her head from the bar. "I thought you were giving me advice on how to make my relationship work, not trashing it."
"You asked for my advice."
"Well I'm not leaving him so I guess your advice is no longer needed." Caroline spat.
Katherine shook her head. "I just don't get it. You're young, hot and smart, well kinda. What is it about him that has you so in love, so hopeful for a future with him when this 'relationship' is completely one sided?"
Caroline scoffed, tired of hearing Katherine's dismissal of Klaus and her feelings for him.
She needed someone to vent to, not someone to judge her.
"You don't need to get it, Katherine!" Caroline slammed her hand on the wooden bar. "I don't care if you like Klaus or not, okay? I'm not looking for judgement or approval, I just need you to be supportive of me."
"Car-"
"Don't think about Klaus, just focus on me and how happy he makes me. It might be hard for you to believe but he does make me happy and feel beautiful. Klaus doesn't judge me, I can be myself with him without even realizing it. He's my person. I can't lose him." She practically begged.
Even though she was slightly annoying, Katherine did find a liking in Caroline.
She was naive as hell but also sweet.
The undying love Caroline felt for Klaus was odd and moronic but she was right, Katherine didn't need to understand it. And there was no keeping her from him, so there was no point wasting her breath trying to convince her he was s terrible person.
With a heavy sigh, Katherine gulped down a shot of Tequila before leaning against the bar towards Caroline. "Fine. Like I told you before, Klaus feels he doesn't need to work for you because he already has you. He won't submit to your demands because he feels he doesn't need to, your job is to change his mind on that."
Caroline furrowed her eyebrows.
"At the club that night, you earned his affections because he saw you dancing and having a good time with other guys."
She nervously bit her lip. "I don't know, Kat. I don't want it to be a habit of making Klaus jealous to get what I want."
"The point isn't to make him jealous, the point is for him to realize he doesn't have you as securely as he thinks. For him to feel as insecure as you're feeling right now. You have all the goods, use them to your advantage and tell him what you want."
Caroline was intrigued.
"Look, Klaus clearly feels something for you. Not to mention, he sounded relieved when you answered his call and just the fact that he hasn't killed you yet should say enough."
The blonde grinned with pride.
She liked hearing other people acknowledge that Klaus had feelings for her, even if it was the bare minimum.
With another grin and gulping down her last drink, Caroline hopped off the bar stool excitedly.
"You are so right! I'm going to tell him just that! And he needs to take me out more, we're partners and I deserve it damnit!" Caroline stomped her foot on the ground.
Katherine lightly chuckled at her small action. "Good luck with that."
"I don't need luck..." Caroline sassed as she picked up her shopping bags. "I have a delicious lingerie piece in one of these bags that he won't be able to witness if he says 'no'."
The brunette raised a brow smirking. "Your confidence against Klaus is refreshing. Any chance your next step is a stake in his heart?"
Caroline playfully glared.
"Wishful thinking." Katherine playfully rolled her eyes.
The blonde flipped her loose blonde curls over her shoulder. "I'll see you around, and thanks for the advice. Don't worry, you'll be the first to hear about the outcome."
"If the outcome is Klaus putting his tongue anywhere on you, please keep it to yourself." Katherine begged, making Caroline laugh as she slightly stumbled away.
Caroline found it a chore attempting to exit the crowded club with her multiple bags hanging on her arms.
While also being slightly intoxicated.
Even though she was earning dirty and confused looks from others, Caroline couldn't drop her smile. The anticipation of confronting Klaus making her anxious but excited.
She knew Klaus wasn't fond of her going against his demands but everyone has a breaking point. It wasn't like she wanted him taking her out to dinner and movie dates.
Though that wouldn't be a bad idea.
Caroline lost her train of thought when she accidentally bumped into a man on her way out.
Her eyes widened in distress and a bag dropped when she covered her mouth. "Oh my god! I'm so so sorry!" She exclaimed as the man brushed down his suit.
"It's quite alright." The man chuckled, picking up the shopping bag then finally staring up at the concerned blonde.
Caroline couldn't deny how attractive the man was. He was at least in his late 30's. Dark blonde hair, decent amount of facial hair, gorgeous yet familiar blue eyes and a noticeably nice physique.
With an English accent to match.
His sweet grin was so distracting, Caroline almost forgot the altercation.
- Is this considered cheating?
Caroline thought.
She was in love. Not blind.
She shook herself out the haze. "No, I'm so sorry. I wasn't even looking. I'm slightly drunk, if it wasn't obvious." Caroline laughed.
The man chuckled. "I figured, but you managed to treat yourself quite respectively I see." He said referencing the shopping bags hanging off of her.
Caroline nodded with a laugh. "Thanks." She grabbed the bag from his hands.
"So I guess offering to buy you a drink is off the table then?"
She blushed.
A part of Caroline felt empowered while the other part felt guilty.
Klaus was the love of her life. She loved him and wanted no one but him, but it didn't hurt being appreciated. Which didn't happen often given that it was practically a death wish to even sniff in her direction.
- This guy must be new.
Caroline simply laughed it off. "No, thanks. But I really am sorry."
He put his hand up. "Like I said, it's quite alright sweetheart."
The pet name easily brought a smile to her face.
"Did my notion of not making you pay for my suit damages bring you such immense joy?" He grinned.
She nibbled on her smiling lip shaking her head. "No it's just...my boyf-
They weren't boyfriend and girlfriend which made Caroline whimper, but it wasn't as bad as not knowing what to label them at all.
Caroline licked her lips. "Just this guy I'm seeing, he always calls me that. It's not exactly a name I'm called everyday so it just reminds me of him."
The man nodded in agreement. "Ahh, I should have suspected a beautiful woman like yourself would be taken. He sounds like a charming man. Not to mention lucky."
She pressed her lips together at the innocent flirting. "I've never seen you around before. Did you just move here?"
He shrugged. "I was just dropping by actually."
"Visiting family?" Caroline asked.
"You can say that." He smirked. "Are you from Gotham?"
"Pretty new myself actually. I've always lived in New York just not this side of it."
The man raised an eyebrow. "The gruesome side of it, you mean."
She blushed. "Definitely a more privileged life."
"You grew up quite well I would imagine. What made you leave?"
Caroline shrugged. "Love, I guess."
He grinned at her answer. "Love does make us do the craziest things. That's what makes it so thrilling."
She nodded.
Being with Klaus was thrilling, not just because of the amount of people they killed or laws they broke but from being in love in love with him. Even though he didn't reciprocate love, she's never felt more appreciated and wanted than when she's with him.
She felt herself tilting, trying her best to stand up straight.
Caroline laughed. "I'm sorry, I'm still kinda buzzed and can barely stand right. Umm, I should probably get going."
"The boyfriend awaits?" He teased.
Hearing Klaus be referenced as her 'boyfriend' made her stomach beautifully flutter and her desire to see him intensify.
"Yeah. I haven't seen him all day and-"
He put his hand up. "It's young love, I understand. You don't have to explain yourself to me. We just met after all."
Caroline smiled.
The man put his hand out towards her. "It was a pleasure meeting you..."
Her eyes widened at his suggestion, not even realizing they've yet to exchange names.
Everyone already knowing who she was based on dating the King of Gotham City, made her fall out of the habit of introducing herself.
"Sorry, Caroline." She accepted his hand.
He shook it back. "Mikael. It was a pleasure meeting you as well, Caroline."
"You too. Maybe we'll see each other again soon and you can meet 'the boyfriend' yourself." She joked.
A huge grin stretched across Mikael's face. "I certainly am looking forward to it. I just might have to stick around longer after all."
Caroline smiled back before waving off and finally walking out the door and towards the garage where Klaus' car was parked.
Mikael watched until she was actually in the car.
Devilishly smirking as she drove off.
"Certainly looking forward to it indeed." He mumbled to himself.
Klaus was pacing around his living room, phone in hand tapping against his lips.
It had been an hour since he spoke to Caroline. When she said she'd be back home soon, he thought she meant she'd be back by the time he was back.
This rebellious streak she's been on lately was not only ticking him off but, dare he say, worrying?
Just the thought of Klaus worrying for Caroline's safety and well being made Klaus want to vomit. He couldn't admit that without having to admit to other unlabeled feelings towards her. But she was his, and if anything bad were to happen to her it would be by him on his terms.
Stefan casually stood against a wall, observing his boss' odd behavior. Never had he'd seen Klaus so concerned for someone in the entirety of his time working for the psychotic man. He was tempted to tell him to sit down and relax but he wasn't particularly keen on dying today.
Especially after already being on thin ice with Klaus for allowing her to escape in the first place.
But she was a big distraction for Klaus, whether he wanted to admit that or not.
A distraction Klaus can't afford to have.
They both sensed a car approaching around the corner before it pulled up into the garage.
- Finally.
Stefan exited the room, at Klaus' demand. Klaus exhaled as he quickly made his way to the garage door to confront the stubborn blonde.
She was already out the car and at the door, storming towards him herself.
Neither realizing how eager the other was to see each other.
In their frenzy, they accidentally crashed into each other. Longing gazes met and breaths hitched. Mouths parted and hands shaking.
They acted like they haven't seen each other in months. Given it was the longest hour Klaus has ever experienced.
Klaus opened his mouth to speak at the same time Caroline pressed herself against him and collided her mouth with his. It took a minute for his shock to cease but he quickly regained his composure and kissed her back roughly, once.
It was difficult ignoring her soft lips.
"Caroline-" He said against her lips but Caroline persistently kept kissing him.
"Later." She said in between a kiss. "Please." She begged in between another aggressive kiss.
Caroline knew he was pissed at her for leaving and was set on a confrontation herself but, she missed him. She wasn't use to not seeing him for a whole day. Missed him more than she could say and the only thing on her mind the entire car ride back was him having his way with her.
She needed to feel him.
After briefly contemplating the situation, Klaus melted into another kiss pushing his tongue in her desperate mouth as he also pushed her back against the kitchen wall. His leg separated hers and she ground her crotch against his knee.
Desperate moans escaping them both.
He needed her as badly as she needed him.
Talking could wait.
Caroline's fingers laced through his curls, moaning as his tongue tasted her soul. She gasped when Klaus ripped open her blouse, the buttons flying across the room. He quickly bent down, kissing around her neckline and down to the cleavage. Bending lower, almost to his knees, he left hot open mouthed kissed down her ribs and abdomen.
She whimpered when he unbuttoned her jeans and unzipped them.
- Are we really going to have sex in the kitchen?
"Are you opposed?" Klaus asked with a smirk, kissing his way back up her body and kissed her lips softly.
Caroline wanted to face palm herself for thinking out loud.
Again.
She harshly bit her lip when Klaus' hand dipped inside her panties, feeling how wet she was for him while teasing her folds.
"Hell no." Caroline gasped her response, her need and desire clouding her judgement to the point where the only thing she saw was Klaus.
She pressed his hand more against her center, desperate for more friction but he instantly slipped his hand out.
Klaus briefly chuckled at her flustered expression as he pulled his Henley over his head and threw it across the room.
Caroline's mouth watered at his perfect chiseled body and couldn't believe it was all hers.
His lips were back on hers in an instant, hands working quickly to get her out of her clothes.
The blonde could barely keep up with him, before she knew it she was dressed in just her bra and panties but Klaus quickly got rid of her bra. His mouth latching onto both her nipples, making Caroline loudly moan as she tilted her head back.
She combed her fingers through his hair as he continued to feast on her chest, sucking both nipples till they were hardened.
Klaus' mouth ventured back up her chest to her neck. He kissed her cheek before effortlessly picking her up in his arms, their mouths claiming each other's again as he pushed the fruit bowl and utensils off his island counter before propping Caroline on top.
Everything fell to the floor in a crash, thrilling them both more.
Her panties were next to go.
Klaus hooked his fingers into the material and easily slid them down her legs.
He parted her legs as soon Caroline kicked the panties off when they reached her ankles. Her eyesight was a white haze as he began sucking on her bare breasts again and teasing her entrance with his finger.
This was right. Everything about this felt right.
She missed him so much. She missed how much he wanted her.
Caroline moaned at the pleasure he was giving her while one of her hands went in between their bodies, caressing the bulge in his jeans.
Klaus groaned as he buried his face into her neck. Caroline didn't stop her actions, reveling in the feel of him getting weak over her.
Nothing turned her on more.
His lips and teeth attacked her skin.
Sucking, licking and kissing up her neck as Caroline attempted to concentrate on undoing his belt buckle.
The fact that Caroline was human and bruised easily never mattered to Klaus. Marking her was always the goal, for people to know who she belonged to. She loved it as much as he did.
"I'm still upset with you." Klaus lowly growled, sucking on her earlobe.
Caroline harshly bit her bottom lip. "I know." She moaned in relief, finally undoing his belt and pants.
In a rush, Caroline pushed his pants and boxers down enough to free his aching cock.
She licked her lips at the sight before staring back up at the gorgeous man between her legs.
Reaching forward, Caroline kissed Klaus again with urgency and passion.
Their tongues colliding and caressing each other's like they were starving and were the only source of food.
"Show me." Caroline gasped in between hot kisses. "Show me how much." Their mouths still moving together as Caroline stroked his member.
The vampire knew what she meant and his cock twitched when he stared into her wild hungry eyes.
This wasn't how he expected their confrontation to play out but he was not complaining.
Klaus wanted her bad.
Caroline drove him mad majority of the time but damn, she was so sexy.
Never has he bedded a woman who's appetite matched his.
Wrapping her legs around his waist, Klaus never dropped eye contact even as she guided him to her opening. Their eyes fluttering but not closing and breaths hitching when Klaus finally filled her.
Caroline held onto Klaus' biceps tight as he quickly set a fast pace in and out of her. His hands on her hips slamming her down and thrusting up. Sounds of grunts, moans and skin slapping bounced off the walls.
She could sense this was going to be a quickie which was fine since she felt she wouldn't hold on much longer either.
That was pure hunger.
Klaus gripped her hair roughly, tilting her head back as he kissed down her jaw and neck before making his way to her ear where he whispered dirty confessions while continuing his rough thrusts.
Dirty talk was never a necessity in the bedroom until Klaus. He was too good at it and he knew it.
Caroline moaned as his hips sped up. She pulled his hair to drag his head back, attacking his lips hungrily. Biting and nipping at his bottom lip then licking off the blood from the wound she opened.
He loved when she did that.
She moaned into his mouth with each thrust, feeling herself already nearing her climax.
"I'm close..." Caroline whispered, noticing his speed slightly increasing which meant he wasn't too far off from her either.
Klaus slipped his hand between their bodies to rub Caroline's clit until she completely crashed into her orgasm. He soon followed after her, leaning his forehead against her damp shoulder.
They both aggressively panted in attempt to regain themselves.
She felt as if she went blind it was so intense, but her vision cleared enough to see a panting but sated Klaus lift his head up.
Caroline's heart beat was crashing, she felt it was ready to pop out her chest. Sometimes she wondered how Klaus didn't break her.
Her breathing pattern was slowing back down. She brushed his hair out his face with her hands to see those shimmery blue eyes she loved so much.
His eyes flashed in and out of blue and gold before finally settling on gold.
Caroline's facials relaxed as she observed him. He was genuinely the most beautiful creature she had ever seen. With each view she saw of his true self he only became more extraordinary.
Klaus was still coming down when he felt her lips on his chest and neck. Tasting his salty skin as if she's tasted nothing like it.
Her hands wandered down his abs, just above his red scars that matched the ones on his back. She carefully moved her hands up to avoid that trigger for him.
A story she hopes he'll one day want to tell her.
Eventually her lips ventured to his red ones, lazily smiling before kissing him multiple times.
"I missed you." Caroline whispered, kissing his top and bottom lip individually.
She didn't realize how much she missed him till she walked through those door and saw his face. Realizing that she hadn't stopped thinking or talking about him all day.
Was that what love felt like?
Klaus quickly pulled away but still held her up on the kitchen counter.
Caroline instantly felt the shift in mood and sat up straight but kept her arms around his neck.
"Let's get washed up. Then maybe we can eat lunch while I show you everything I bought today." She suggested with a smile.
A small grin tugged on his lips before he pressed it into a line. "Thank you for reminding me why I'm upset with you." Klaus said.
Caroline kissed him again. "Later."
"You said 'later' already."
"Well what I meant was, later as in after we're clean and eating grilled cheese sandwiches with truffles on top in your bed." She beamed with another kiss. "Mozzarella, not cheddar."
He furrowed his eyebrows. "That's quite a specific order." Klaus said as he accepted another kiss.
"I'm really craving it right now!" Caroline whined. "Can Stefan be useful for once and get it for me?" She asked with a wide grin.
Klaus chuckled as he made small circles on her hips. "Your distaste towards Stefan is as comical as it is unnecessary. But I will get him on that while you're showering."
Caroline scoffed. "Don't you mean while we're showering?"
"Naughty girls don't get a round 2, love." Klaus smirked with a light kiss before slowly pulling out of her making them both hiss at the emptiness.
He began picking up his clothes that were carelessly thrown around the kitchen, not even acknowledging the frustrated and naked blonde sitting on the counter.
"Seriously?" Caroline huffed.
"See you in an hour." Klaus teasingly said as he walked out the room.
"That was a long coffee run." Elena noted, with her hands on her hips as Mikael approached her in the abandoned alley.
"Took a bit of a detour." He claimed, handing her a grande coffee.
Elena observed the cup. "You didn't poison it, did you?"
"Well if I did I wouldn't tell you now would I?" Mikael smirked, not amusing Elena.
He shrugged. "Poisoning isn't my expertise, Detective Gordon. Gripping the heart straight through the chest is more my style."
The reassurance didn't help ease the chill creeping up her spine.
Elena knew she was playing with fire by teaming with the devil himself, and she still hasn't even told Damon about it, yet. A part of her felt guilty for lying to her parterre/friend but he would try to stop her if he knew.
Damon didn't want Elena even talking about Mikael let alone teaming up with him. She couldn't afford that. The only thing she and Mikael had in common was getting rid of Klaus and that was all she needed.
She cleared her throat. "Funny." She sarcastically said, making Mikael laugh. "Detour where exactly?"
Taking a sip of his coffee, he hummed. "Not that I need to explain anything to you but, I did have a run in with Niklaus' little friend." He said taking a sip of his own coffee.
Elena's eyes widened.
"Her name is Caroline Quinzel. Pretty young thing with a bit of a dirty history." He began.
Mikael paced as he talked.
"She grew up in the Upper West Side with her mother Liz, after her father Bill walked out on them when she was just a girl. Graduated from Columbia University, top of her class, though, she didn't exactly earn those grades honestly but that's another story. Degree in Psychology, doctorate..."
"Wait, she's a therapist?"
Elena wanted to burst laughing at the fact that someone as unhinged as Klaus Mikaelson was shacking up with a therapist.
Mikael nodded. "Here's the punch line, a couple of years ago she received a job opportunity to work at the infamous Arkham Asylum. The house for the criminally insane. Who do we know who that was housed there?"
The brunette's mouth dropped. "That's how she met Klaus?"
"After Niklaus escaped Arkham, again, he was transferred to Louisiana corrections facility, Belle Reve, where our favorite blonde therapist resided for her new job."
Elena shook her head. "Wait, do you think she helped him escape Belle Reve?"
"You're a fast learner, detective. Good for you." He sarcastically cheered.
Elena rolled her eyes. "How did you even find all this so quickly?"
He shrugged. "I have my ways."
Of course he did.
"Arkham gives me the creeps, I can't imagine actually working there. How did an innocent therapist get wrapped up with the likes of Klaus?" She scrunched her nose.
Mikael laughed. "Innocent? This girl slithered her way into Arkham the same way she slithered between her professor's legs in grad school. She's far from innocent."
"You're the expert." Elena sassed crossing her arms over her chest.
Mikael proudly grinned.
"But she's not our focus. What does this mean? When are we going in to take out Klaus?" She impatiently asked.
"We aren't. Not yet at least."
Elena scoffed. "What do you mean 'not yet'? We had a deal!"
"Yes, we did." He took a step towards her. "Our deal was that I would kill Niklaus, and I intend to keep that promise."
"But?!"
Mikael gulped down the last of his coffee before carelessly throwing it in the nearest trash can. "But I'm going to have some fun with it first. Clearly this Caroline Quinzel means something to him if he's keeping her around, he's not a 'keeping around' type of man. Toying with her to toy with him. Priceless. Killing is the easy part, it's all about the chase." He wickedly smiled.
She wanted to punch him and herself in the face.
Was he serious right now?
"You're not serious, right?"
"Oh darling, I very much am." He casually responded.
She huffed. "You're risking having that lunatic out in the street longer just so you can play your little game?!"
Mikael swooshed in front of her so now their faces were dangerously close. Elena could feel his cold breath hit her face, the chills traveling from her spine throughout her body.
"You need to remember your place, detective." Mikael hissed. "I don't have a care in the world about Gotham's citizens. The only reason I'm back in this wretched city is because our mutual goal. But you requested me which means I can do it how I please. I don't need to explain anything to you nor will I tolerate your demands. Is that understood?"
Elena didn't like feeling small but she couldn't help feeling that way each time she was around Mikael. He was clearly intimidated and dangerous but still, she thought she was capable of a backbone.
She gulped. "Fine." She stubbornly agreed.
At her response, Mikael leaned back with a smile on his face. "Good. Now was that so hard?"
Her lack of response only amused him more.
"This girl thinks she's in love with him, can you blame me for wanting to indulge for a bit?" He laughed as if Elena was to laugh along with him.
"Besides, I've always been the type to play with my food." He chillingly stated.
-Mikael acts exactly like Klaus, you'd think they were related.
Elena thought.
She gulped. "Fine. We'll do it your way."
"As if there was ever another option." He Mikael grinned.
Without giving her time to say anything else, Mikael was already gone. Leaving Elena in the alley alone, unsure of what her next move was.
Does this mean she sits back and waits to hear the news of Klaus' demise? Is Caroline dying too? Would her and Mikael still communicate till then?
Mikael was so unpredictable, it was hard guessing anything he would do.
She hated not having a plan which made this even more dangerous.
Klaus wasn't kidding when he said Caroline had to shower alone. Though he was in a much lighter mood than when she walked through the doors but she could tell he was still irritated with her.
By the time she was done washing up, she went to her room. Tying her hair up into a loose bun and dressed in a tank top and pajama shorts. She was almost tempted to ask Klaus if she could wear one of his henleys but didn't want to bother him more than she already had.
Klaus stayed in his art studio till Stefan returned with the food, which he then graciously walked up to her after dismissing his henchman for the night.
Klaus didn't like not being in control and Caroline was part of that. Her undying loyalty, he thought, would make her his easiest task but was proved otherwise today.
What was the point of keeping her if she wouldn't even do the little things he asked of her? Killing her and dumping her body in the river would be easier than constantly questioning himself when it came to her.
He enjoyed her company for the time being, he wasn't done just yet. But how could he deny that sickening feeling in his stomach when he found out she wasn't at his house? Realizing his anger towards her was more than just because her defiance.
Klaus actually did contemplate on getting rid of her tonight, but by the time he reached upstairs he noticed his bedroom door open.
Caroline was lying on her back on his king sized bed. Her arms were above her head, exposing skin, and her long legs crossed over the other.
She was so beautiful it physically hurt him.
Caroline was taking a brief nap and didn't hear him walk in till she felt the bed dip and practically jumped off when she noticed him now sitting next to her.
"Klaus! You scared me!" She yelled, now sitting up.
He laughed. "We desperately need to work on your reflexes, love."
She playfully slapped him on the chest but instantly wished she could take it back.
It was difficult not feeling comfortable with him.
"Oh my god you actually got the food?!" Caroline squealed, attempting to lighten the mood when she saw the food cartons on the nightstand.
"Well, I was quite hungry myself so I figured why not." Klaus claimed.
She scoffed. "So if you weren't also hungry you wouldn't have bought me food?"
"Guess we'll never know." Klaus smirked, pulling the sandwich out the carton. "But I have dessert and you don't." He happily teased, pulling out a fresh blood bag from the bag.
Caroline lightly grinned then swallowed, slowly taking the sandwich from his hand. "How sweet of you. I thought you said you didn't like blood bags?"
Klaus shrugged. "I don't but I don't feel like going out for a meal tonight. They're not terrible just not my preference, but they occasionally come in handy."
Caroline nervously licked her pink lips as she watched him sip the red liquid out.
She cleared her throat. "Can I try some?"
Her question stunned Klaus that he subconsciously leaned back.
- Did she really just ask to try blood? How mental is this girl?
Was this her way of getting around the question of her being turned into a vampire? Either way, the answer would remain the same.
"You wouldn't like it, love." Klaus dismissed.
"I could. You didn't like it at first but now you love it."
"I wasn't human and I don't necessarily have a choice in the matter now do I?" He spat.
"Klaus-"
"The answer is no, Caroline." Klaus said warningly.
She wasn't helping her case here. It was almost as if everything she did bothered him in some way.
How one outing alone could shift his mood so drastically was ridiculous.
Caroline decided to finally take a bite of her sandwich, not knowing what else to say to him right now.
"Mmm...this is heaven." She moaned as she chewed her food.
Klaus' face relaxed as he sat up next to her, now eating his sandwich as well. He agreed that this was the best grilled cheese he's had in a long time.
That certainly dissolved some of the tension between them.
"I still can't believe we just had sex in your kitchen. You're turning me into a freak." Caroline joked in between bites.
Klaus shrugged. "Freaks have more fun besides, I've done it in far worse places."
Caroline's eyebrows raised. "Really? Do tell, actually don't. I don't want to hear stories about you screwing other girls." She wrinkled her nose.
Klaus chuckled. "Always so jealous."
"I'm not jealous, I'm possessive. There's a difference." She mocked.
He rolled his eyes as he bit into the sandwich again.
"I'm not the one who has a list of lovers to last a century, literally." Caroline stated.
She couldn't deny that sometimes she did feel insecure thinking about how many women Klaus has been with throughout his life. Though she was the one he was devoted to now, there had to have been more experienced and gorgeous women that have caught his eye.
A man went down on her for the time just a few days ago for christ sake.
Klaus turned to her carefully as she contained eating her food. "Does that honestly bother you? That I've fucked other women before you?"
Caroline wasn't expecting him to actually care about this which left her unprepared of how to respond.
The smallest comment could tick him off.
She swallowed. "It doesn't bother me, I'm not an idiot. I didn't go into this thinking you were a virgin..." She picked at the crust of the bread. "It's just intimidating sometimes, sleeping with someone who's so experienced and has been with other women who are just as good and much better than me."
Klaus chuckled. "Oh love. You degrade your effect on me in the bedroom too often, it's criminal."
That made her smile wide.
Caroline scooted closer to him on the bed. "I'm that good, huh?" She nibbled on her bottom lip in a seductive manner.
Klaus sighed before leaning in to peck her quickly on the lips. "You're amazing. Best I ever had. Sensational. Never have I experienced such wonders." He teased.
Now he was just milking it.
"You're such a jerk!" Caroline laughed, attempting to push him against the chest but Klaus caught her hand with one of his.
Their eyes met as intensely as ever with breaths of passion colliding between their bodies, radiating from them both.
He pulled her closer to him. "I'm not going to tell you how amazing or beautiful you are everyday to make you feel better about yourself, that's not my job." He sternly said. "You already know that, I've told you plenty of times before even during our sessions at Arkham. The fact that I had to practically be dragged away from you this morning proves how hard it is not to even touch you. You know what you do to me, Doctor Quinzel. We wouldn't be where we are now if you didn't so please do not insult me by acting as if otherwise because you're threatened by women I can't even remember from years ago, let alone a century."
Wow.
Um...wow.
"Wow." Caroline breathlessly said.
She wasn't sure whether he was saying that about her in general or the blood thirsty sex addict he turned her into. Either way, HE JUST CALLED HER BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING.
Trying to fight down her smile and blush, Caroline spoke. "Why are you being romantic? I thought you were mad at me?"
"Do you want me to stay mad at you?" He questioned.
Caroline pressed her lips together. "I was planning on giving you a piece of my mind too, you know?"
He huffed a laugh. "Is that so?"
She lightly grinned.
Klaus sighed as he set his half eaten sandwich back in the carton. "Caroline, you're not a prisoner. I'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want but when you say you'll follow my orders I'm expecting you to keep your word."
Caroline nodded. "I know, and I usually don't mind. I want to be with you Klaus, you know I do but what happened to us doing things together? Like the Ray Sutton thing? I was great at that."
"That was to give you the feel of what it meant to be with me."
"Yeah, a life style that I enjoy a lot but mainly because I get to share it with you." She interrupted. "The kill is thrilling when I know you're watching me, beating men to a pulp or the games we'd play. Do you remember our games Klaus, how much fun we had?" She suggestively asked.
How could he forget?
He smirked. "It's in the peak of my memory."
"Ugh stop making fun of me!" Caroline whined which only made his smirk grow.
She quickly climbed on top of him, straddling his lap and contently sighing at the feel of hands securely on her hips.
Thankfully he didn't push her off.
"I love going out with you as much as I enjoy staying in with you." Caroline said as she pushed her fingers through his curls then settled her arms around his neck. "But, I can't just stay here in this mansion by myself all day every day while you're out doing your thing. I can't. I need interaction, I need more."
Klaus gazed at her, loosening her hair from the bun and pushing strands behind her ears gently.
"Are you even listening to me?" Caroline asked.
"Mhmm." Klaus hummed, sitting up to kiss her cheek.
"Klaus..."
"Caroline..." He smirked, kissing her other cheek.
A small smile snuck up on her face at his unexpected affection.
"You're doing a terrible job at being mad." She tilted her head back when his lips ventured to her neck.
He pulled away. "Well, if you want I could just kill you."
Something told her he wasn't 100% joking.
With a wicked smile she bent down her head to capture his lips with hers.
Klaus' cold hands resting on her hips and seeping up to the hem of her tank.
Caroline moaned as she pulled away from him. "I'm serious Klaus. Can you at least consider it please? I don't even have to do anything I just can't stay in this house anymore or I'll go insane!"
"Well, we can't have that now can we? You're insane enough as it is." Klaus jokingly claimed.
Caroline shot him an offended glare but Klaus kissed her before she could say anything.
This evening turned out a lot better than she anticipated.
She was still alive, for example.
"Is that a yes?" Caroline whispered against his lips.
Klaus sighed into another passionate exchange. Their lips softly moving together as Klaus pulled her body more against his.
"How about tonight?" He offered.
Caroline jerked her head back.
The vampire smirked. "Me and Stefan were going to meet with one of my clients at 10."
She rolled her eyes at the mention of the henchman.
"Don't start, love." He ordered.
"Fine." She huffed. "What client exactly?"
"I need new potential business partners given that I've killed all my previous ones." Klaus casually explained.
The curious blonde slowly nodded. "And where do I fit into tonight's plans?"
"We're meeting at a club, so I'm sure you can find a way to keep yourself occupied." He smirked.
That was the biggest innuendo.
"I'm sure I will." She teased with a quick yet passionate kiss.
Caroline was actually going out with Klaus tonight. She was getting out of the house and gliding through the underground with her Hades.
The only catch was that they likely wouldn't actually be together during the night but at least they were in the same place, and he would be watching her.
Caroline finally came up from air smiling wide. "Thank you, babe! Thank you! Thank you!" She kissed him with each praise.
Klaus figured she'd get off his back about not taking her anywhere if he made this exception. He was actually even looking forward to showing her off tonight and making up for not having her all day.
"You're welcome, sweetheart." He grinned.
"I missed that sexy accent." She moaned before briefly kissing his red lips.
Caroline crinkled her nose. "Okay, there was a guy I met earlier today and nothing happened, but he called me 'sweetheart' and it got to me more than it should have. All I could think about was you."
Why was she volunteering information to Klaus about meeting other men?
His face instantly hardened. "What guy?"
She sighed, grabbing his face in between her hands, caressing his stubble with her thumb. "Just some guy who's new in town. Why, are you jealous?"
"Not particularly but I know about everyone living in this city and keep an even closer eye on those who mess with you." He stated.
"Calm down. It was nothing like that. He was charming and he's actually looking forward to meeting you. My man is famous." Caroline giggled kissing Klaus' unmoving lips.
She pulled back to examine his blank expression.
"Did you find him attractive, love?" Klaus slowly asked.
Caroline lowered her brows. "He looked like any other guy but no one has me but you, okay? Can you relax?" She smiled while Klaus' face remained hard.
Maybe, just maybe he felt slightly insecure. He was use to being the only one who could take an interest in Caroline.
Caroline was undoubtedly beautiful, so there should be no shocker that she had admirers. Hell, he's killed any man that's even looked her way. But she was his and even entertaining the thought of her seeking pleasure from someone else boiled his blood.
Klaus pushed her hands away from his face. "Don't tell me to relax, Caroline."
Was he honestly this jealous of a guy he's never seen and she doesn't even care about?
Egos.
She snatched her wrists out of his grip. "You're getting upset over nothing. If anything he just made me want to get back to you sooner. That's it."
Klaus annoyingly huffed, leaning back against the headboard.
"He kinda reminded me of you in a way. With his accent, flirting and odd pet names." Caroline claimed, tracing her fingertips on his lips.
Klaus huffed. "Sounds like a prick."
"Then definitely like you!" Caroline sarcastically said.
He wasn't amused but Caroline surely was.
"Look, I don't like seeing girls fall over you every night and day either. Price of us both being incredibly gorgeous beings. I guess." She proudly claimed.
"Hmm, especially since the last woman that gazed my direction had her face bashed in." Klaus smiled.
"She stopped looking, didn't she?" Caroline sassed.
"And now I have to get you a new gun."
"It was worth it." She wickedly grinned at the equally pleased vampire.
Klaus liked that side of Caroline. Her possessive nature matched his just right.
He liked her inner monster. The monster he created.
Caroline passionately melted her lips with Klaus'. Grinding her hips into his slowly as her tongue tasted his and her hands grabbed his face.
Klaus pulled her against him tightly, their chests pressing on each other's and one of his hands grabbing her waist while the other was buried in her blonde locks.
The room was filled with just their pleasurable moans.
"You're mine Caroline." He sternly whispered against her swollen pink lips.
She nodded. "I'm yours. I only want you, okay? I would never be anyone else's. Please know that's never gonna change." Caroline reassured with another heated kiss.
It was nice to see that Klaus had insecurities too, even if he tried claiming it as just possession.
He was afraid of losing her.
But as if she wasn't making it obvious enough, the only thing that could separate them was death. He wasn't losing her and she wasn't leaving him.
They kissed again before Caroline hurriedly climbed off his lap.
"Okay I need to shower again." She happily informed as she got off the soft bed.
"Love, you just took one."
"I also wasn't expecting to go anywhere tonight so now I need to use my special body wash."
Klaus simply sighed and rested his head back while Caroline ran around the room like a blonde moo head.
"I'm so excited! I need to pick out something to wear!" She squealed, pecking Klaus in the lips one last time before rushing to her bedroom to pick out one of the many dresses Klaus already had stored in her closet.
So...?
A couple of notes: Elena doesn't know about the relations between Mikael and Klaus but she clearly knows they're both vampires.
Caroline has only seen Mikael's name a few times when she looked through Klaus' journal entries but she has assumed he's either long gone or dead which is why she didn't put two and two together when they met.
A lot of Klaus' feelings towards Caroline are becoming a tad more clear for him which is not necessarily a good thing.
The next chapter will start where this one left off, and if you've seen Suicide Squad then you can have a good guess how the club scene would be ;)
