A/N: Hope you all enjoy my lovely readers! Really long chapter for you guys here. Don't forget to review, I would really like to know what you guys think of the sex scene.

It had been three days since I had last seen Kol or heard from him. Ever since the date that Klaus ruined it had been radio silence from him. It wasn't like I was expecting anything from him, I had no expectations of him but something would've been nice.

I continued packing my suitcase for the weekend while humming softly. There was a big gallery opening in Richmond this Saturday and it was my job to make sure everything went perfectly. My mother normally did these things but she was away and had me fill in for her.

"Where are you off to?"

I jumped at the voice from behind me and I could hear a snicker. Sharply turning I saw Kol in my room. "Your back."

Kol nodded and plopped himself on my bed peeking thru my suitcase. "Are you going to answer me?"

"Richmond." I replied while folding another shirt and placing it in.

"Why you going there?"

"Art opening. I'm in charge." Kol stood to his feet and started to pace around the room. His back was rigid and clearly he was agitated over something that had happened. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing to worry about. Now about this gala, you need a date?"

"Not exactly one of those things, besides I'm sure you have better things to do."

"Well my better thing is leaving me now." Kol pouted to me with a boyish light in his eyes and I giggled.

"Go! I need to get some sleep. I leave early tomorrow morning."

Kol paused at the window and stared long and hard at me. "I could always help you pick out something to wear for this opening."

Kol's tone of sinful teasing made me blush and throw a pillow at him. I could hear laughter echo in the night from then onwards.


The bus ride to Richmond was fine I suppose. The driver was still a little drunk from the night before and he ran over literally every pothole possible in the road. The seats were uncomfortable and the service sucked but it was at last over. And I now had a comfy bed for the weekend thanks to the Hilton.

Walking the busy streets I admired the buildings and people. No one in Mystic Falls would ever really dress like any of the people you see around here, but that was a joy to living in a place like here, there were so many different kinds of people you were bound to find others like you. Mystic Falls was nice, that picture perfect small town but at times it wasn't enough.

Stepping into the gallery space I gawked at it's size. The place was huge with empty walls waiting to be looked upon once new art covered it's blank space. The ceiling was high and exposed, showing off the heating system. A crew of six men were at work in the back of the place while a few others stood at the front hanging banners.

"You must be Cassandra." A women's voice rang clear as crystal in the empty gallery. She was dressed in a floral kimono with painted on eyebrows that made her look like a clown.

"Yes."

The woman grabbed my hand and shook it in a rush and motioned for me to follow her as she walked along the hallways with her assistant. "Now Clara I want the Native American display over here and across from it I want the new age abstract pieces. I want a fresh cup of coffee and bring me those itineraries! Cassandra I want you to come back tonight and charm those old man to spend the money they have in their wallets."

"Yes Ma'am."

"Good off now. No! Not there you imbecile!" And with that I quickly ran away out the door.

"Well, and here I thought it would take me longer to find you." Looking up I saw Kol leaning against an old muscle car with a grin.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned as I walked up to him.

We stood close and I had a hard time deciphering how he felt with the shadows casted along his face. "Came to see you, obviously." Kol replied as he poked my nose gently. "Have I done something to offend you?"

"Only every time I see you."

Then he held out his hand for me to take, "Come on."

I took his hand without reservation and followed as he left his car parked and strolled the streets with me at his side. "Did you really come all the way out here to see me?"

"Yes. You make it sound like your an ocean away kitten."

"Why kitten?" Kol looked at me perplexed. "I mean why do you call me that?"

Kol's eyes softened and he slowed our pace. "Oh that, you remind me of a kitten is all."

I snorted and walked ahead of him but he was fast to keep pace with me. I didn't know where we were but being with Kol, I didn't care. It was weird to say let alone think but I knew Kol wouldn't let anything to happen to me.

"What's this place?"

I looked back and saw that Kol was staring with fascination at the store in front of him. Reading the sign above I saw that it was one those sex shops. "It's a sex shop."

Kol's eyebrows shot up with delight. "A sex shop?" I nodded carefully. "What do you buy in there?"

"Toys, lube, lingerie etc. The normal stuff and some fetish things too, especially S&M now with the mainstream rise in popularity."

Kol stalked towards me with purpose and a devilish smirk that widened the closer he got to me. "We're going in." And before I could protest he hauled me to his side and led us in.

The place was dim with low lighting overhead and on displays. Shelves lined the walls and made makeshift hallways filled with blow up dolls, dildos, handcuffs, nude magazine's and a collections of porn videos. Mannequins dressed in skimpy panty sets and costumes lined the section for lingerie with red velvet curtains signaling the fitting rooms.

"May I help you two?" A tiny brunette asked.

"We're gonna try all of these." Kol pointed to every mannequin in the vicinity.

"No I'm not."

"Now kitten-"

"Don't kitten me! I'm not trying this stuff on, I didn't even want to come in here!"

"Lover's spat?" The brunette questioned innocently.

"We are not together." I waved my hands between the two of us.

"Hence the problem you see." Kol grinned charmingly down to the sales girl. Her cheeks turned crimson from his harmless flirt and she scuffled away to help another customer. "Back to the matter at hand kitten. I simply wa-"

"I'm not trying anything on."

"You know I could just compel you to. Whether you like it or not, I can make you do anything so why not make things easier and just do it."

Kol was right he could always compel me but he hadn't so far, actually Kol hadn't even attempted to. "One."

"Ten."

"Three."

"Deal as long as I get to pick them out."

I thought over the deal and knew I probably wouldn't get any better and his eyes were practically daring me to run. "Fine." I gritted out and stood by the dressing rooms waiting for him.

Kol looked like a kid trapped in a candy store. The eyes held that hedonistic delight with the hint of mischief. He rifled thru the racks of ruffles, lace and latex before deciding on the three. He thrusted them into my arms, spun me around and pushed me into a room, quickly locking it behind me.

I scowled at the manhandling but got changed anyway...not like there was a choice in the matter.

Glaring at the offending pieces of fabric in my hands I huffed and dumped them onto the seat in the changing room. I moved slowly, taking my time partially because this was the last thing I wanted to really do and the other part was just to annoy Kol a bit. Grabbing the least repulsive one I slipped it on and without looking in the mirror stepped out with what little courage I had.

Kol was lounging on a sofa nearby still gazing at everything in wonder before spotting me. I shifted uncomfortably on the soles of my feet but I could see Kol's eyes darken from here after they went wide with excitement. Within seconds Kol was on his feet and in front of me. "You look delicious darling. Absolutely delicious."

My heart sped up rapidly at his compliment and I looked around at everything but him. "Yeah, well don't get used to it." I muttered.

Kol remained quiet but stared intently and a slow, lazy grin took over his face making my heart thaw. "On the contrary-" Kol wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me flush against him while speaking in husky tone, "You should get used to wearing these more often."

I shivered inwardly and had trouble getting a hold of my sudden shallow breathing. Like a ninja, I expertly stepped out of his hold and darted to the changing room once again. It was the only solace I had around here to control myself around Kol. The more Kol used his charms the more I wanted to desperately jump his bones, like some cat in heat.

Burying my face in my hands I leaned back against the door and with a resigned sigh tried on the next outfit. It was red and lacey, leaving nothing to the imagination with the amount of exposed skin. Definitely worse than the first one.

Peeking my head I saw Kol waiting for me expectantly with his arms folded dismissing the leggy brunette trying to get his attention. I stepped out with a bit more confidence than before and saw Kol's eyes widen. The girl whipped around to find me and in a sick sort of satisfaction I saw her face turn red with anger before she stomped off.

I could feel Kol's eyes roam my scantily clad form hungrily like some rabid wolf. "I take it you approve."

"Most definitely darling." Kol replied while licking his lower lip and causing my stomach to sink to the floor.

"Only one more." I teased lightheartedly.

"Don't remind me!" I could hear Kol shout back as I closed the door.

When I stepped out of the changing room with the last outfit on I found that Kol was no where in sight. I frowned slightly when I didn't see him and wondered when at what point I started to care. Ignoring the sinking feeling in my gut I turned to the full length 360 mirror, spinning around to see my body in every angle. The whole ensemble was black and sheer with matching garter belts and thigh highs. It was something I would never pick out for myself but I'd admit that it did make me look seductive.

Busy in my thoughts and the slight admiration I was having over my form I didn't notice Kol comeback from where ever he had run off to, I only saw him when I noticed his reflection...and saw him with his shirt open. Before I could make a snappy comment Kol swooped in close to me. My back was against his bare chest and I could feel his deep breathing while he leaned down to the shell of my ear and whispered softly, "Best one yet."

"Oh."

Kol's gaze was glued to my body, his look was smoldering and seductive, primal and hedonistic all at once. Butterflies erupted and heat rushed to my core. I could feel Kol's hands being placed on my hips and my spine tingled when Kol placed a kiss to the junction of my shoulder and neck.

"Can you just stop?" I said frustrated and stepped away from him and turned so I could look at him.

"Stop what, kitten?"

"Calling me 'kitten', and trying to be funny, and-" I was momentarily distracted from my mini rant by the sight of Kol's bare chest. His torso was lanky but very lean with defined lines running across the skin. "-That."

Kol simply smirked while buttoning up his shirt before walking towards me again. "Oh! Well, most girls like this. But, then, you're not like most girls, are you?"

"What I'd like is for you to just stop messing around. This isn't a weekend getaway for me I have to work."

"Well just blow it off." I gaped at him appalled and went to make a dash into the dressing room before I was snatched back by Kol. "Okay, Cassie. Alright. I have been trying to charm you. And your resistance is as impressive as it is baffling."

I rolled my eyes at the man child in front of me. "Baffling, huh?"

"Very."

A shaky laugh escaped from my lips and I smiled while rolling my eyes again. "I really have to get going."

Kol let out an attractive huff of contempt. "Alright then, since you insist on being stubborn."

"I'm stubborn!" Was the last thing I managed to say before being shoved into the dressing room.


Dressed in a black and white rorschach printed dress that ended mid thigh I strolled around the gala's opening. Guests were admiring the pieces and talking adamantly about there interpretations. Caterers passed by with gleaming silver trays of champagne and finger foods, weaving expertly between the people.

Everyone was enjoying themselves and the gala was going off without a hitch. Everything was going as planned to which my mother would be pleased over. I answered any passerby questions and did my best to charm some old geezers into buying a lavishly expensive painting's. The crowd was growing with each passing minute and it was getting harder to move around freely.

A sudden feeling of a having someone watching me overcame my senses. Turning I spotted Kol leaning casually against one of the makeshift walls used to show off the exhibits. He was standing amongst a crowd of predominately women who vied for his attention. The look in his chocolate eye's was positively smoldering, even when they were partially cut off from view when he finished his glass of champagne.

Smirking with all the self assurance of the world he strode over in record time so we were standing less than a foot apart from each other. The more personal space Kol seemed to crowd in on the more I found I didn't mind it recently and had even started to enjoy it. He was dressed in a tux like everyone else but on him he just made it look better.

"You look bloody fantastic, kitten."

I blushed at the compliment and decided that my shoes had become very interesting. "You really didn't have to be here, you know?"

"I know. I wanted to be."

Kol's honesty shocked me. He had admitted before that he hated things like this even more than I did, so why was he even here in the first place? The questioned still haunted me when Kol held out his arm for me to take and lead me around while showing others that I was off limits.

We weaved together through the mass of people. Kol was more than happy to be any sort of attention which was more than fine with me. Despite that Kol was more than happy to give me credit for what others remarked he must have done. I was surprised more by the unselfishness that Kol showed when it came to me. Actually the more I thought about it the more I could look back on and see that Kol treated me differently than others. But how different was I exactly? I mean I wasn't astoundingly gorgeous like other women; I wasn't the girl that held the attention of an entire room; hell I wasn't even gifted with any talent. So what made Kol stick to me like glue?

After everyone was ushered out of the gallery, Clara thanked me profusely for my help as her boss was otherwise engaged. Kol took my hand once again and escorted me outside and back to my hotel. I didn't bother to ask how he knew where I was staying, I had learned it was best to just keep certain questions to myself.

We remained silent as we ambled the empty stone streets lost in one another's own thoughts. Coming up to the building Kol led me past the front desk and reception area and stood firmly at the elevators without looking at me. The shiny silver doors opened with a clatter with a blinking iridescent light bulb. We stood quietly after I pressed the button for my floor. I was curious as to what was going on in Kol's mind, he was never normally this quiet and it started to make me worry.

Kol turned to me suddenly. We faced each other. Our chests rising and falling in time with our steady breathing. My lips parted slightly as I stared in curiosity up at Kol. I could see his eyes darken at the small motion; they narrowed at the creases by the corners of his eyes and I found that I liked it. Within seconds Kol was crashing our lips together, molding them to one another, fusing them so no one could tell where the other's began or ended.

It was the best. The kind of kiss that makes the girl lift her leg in movies. Yeah that cheesy corny Hollywood move that coincidentally had a moment of reality. My reality.

We were interrupted by the tiny ding of the elevator alerting us that we had arrived on our floor. Kol pulled back reluctantly and groaned in frustration at the intrusion.

I gave a low chuckle that Kol shot a rueful glare at and took his hand and lead him out of the elevator. Kol and I walked hand in hand down the hallway to my room. Stopping at the door I swiped out the key card and unlocked the door. I paused at the open door and faced him slowly. Did I want him to come inside? Or did I want this end here and not go further? "Do you want to come in?"

"Thought you'd never ask." Kol said hurriedly and rushed down to my lips.

He captured them passionately and moved us inside, slamming the door shut with his foot. Next thing I knew I could feel my back pressed into the wall and Kol flush against me. My heartbeat felt like it was going to burst from my chest at the rate of speed at which it pounded loudly in my chest...or was it just loud to my ears? The thought was quickly brushed away when one of Kol's hands moved to cup my cheek while the other was banded around my waist.

My hands were no longer shy and skimmed his broad shoulders and chest when they weren't busy being tangled into the hairs at the back of his neck, urging him down to kiss me better to which he happily obliged. I moaned shamelessly into his mouth that was coaxing said sounds from me and ground against him. The heat from a hand trailing down my side brought me to some level of cloud nine I didn't know existed.

The sound of my dress's zipper being dragged down was all that could be heard besides the heavy panting. The cool night air touched my bare back causing a shiver to pass thru me. My leg was brought up to hitch itself around Kol's waist as he sucked in an unhurried pace at my neck leaving bruising marks in his wake. I wrapped my other leg around Kol to match my other one and grounded down onto his growing erection.

I had never been this bold in my life. Kol really did bring out a new side to me.

Sliding my hands under his jacket we managed to slip it off his shoulders without breaking our contact. Crashing back into the wall from the force at which Kol returned my ferocity had me squealing. We broke away for a moment as I tugged Kol's dress shirt over his head and he in turn tugged the front of my dress down, exposing some of my chest. Kol placed wet kisses and love bites to the area before maneuvering back to my panting mouth and placing me back on my feet. I could see the veins of his true face peek thru his beautiful mask before it was hidden away once again.

Sliding my dress down and stepping out of the pool of fabric at my feet I was left with nothing but my underwear on while Kol was still wearing trousers. Walking up with a seductive sway to my hips I placed my hands on his chest and slowly traced the planes of his torso. The dips and curves I had seen at the sex shop was nothing compared to actually touching them, feeling them ripple under the feather touches gave me a new found confidence.

Without breaking the simmering eye contact we had with one another, I moved my hands slowly down the front of Kol's chest and began to unlatch his belt buckle. Kol cupped my face and brought it to his own, placing a lingering kiss to my mouth that had me standing on my tip toes to bring us closer. Unbuttoning his pants and pulling the zipper down at a teasing pace I went to make a move to grasp him through his briefs but was stopped by a pair of hands.

Kol took my trapped hands and leaned them against the wall high above my head and wiggled his eyebrows challengingly. There was a pause, a charged moment, between us where Kol lost of his playfulness and was serious. Kol studied me from as far as he allowed himself to go before he swooped back down to capture me in a whirlwind of tongues battling for control.

Kol swept me up into his arms and he walked us into the bedroom where he gently placed me on the bed's edge. His fingers unhooked my bra with a simple flick. I was laid back down by the firmness of Kol's body pressed to mine.

And in no time at all we both had successfully removed the other's remaining pieces of fabric before rolling around on the bed's covers before we stopped. If there was ever a moment where I could've run and asked for him to leave it was by far too late and I wouldn't have wanted that anyway. It was the last thing I wanted. All I wanted was for Kol to fill me and sate this craving he had created.

The first thrust into my waiting core had me cry out sharply from the intrusion. Kol was the biggest I had ever had and my reaction showed, but Kol was nothing but the picture of patience. He placed light kisses to the side of my neck and jaw working his way to my swollen lips again, capturing them in a heated lock before he experimentally rolled his hips.

This time my cry was full of pleasure and with that Kol started to move. I would feel him almost pull himself out before slamming so hard back into me that my body shook from the force. Kol hit every deep spot within with perfect precision making me squirm uncontrollably underneath him. I grasped his back and raked my nails down them so hard I left a trail of angry red marks and little spots of blood.

Kol's pace was relentless. He was never joking when he said he had tremendous stamina I didn't think anyone would be able to continue this rhythm but Kol could. A loud banging from the headboard smacking into the wall was the only outside noise that held any focus for me. The only thing I could focus on was the mind numbing pleasure I was receiving from the gorgeous man above me. The way our hips moved together like clockwork, the sweat that dripped down his forehead, the friction our wet skin made and even the way Kol would lightly scrape his fangs across my jugular had me moaning.

I could feel my muscles tighten around his length and prayed for the looming orgasm to come. I picked up the pace of my hips against his, circling and rotating them desperately for blessed relief. Kol's hands positioned themselves lower to my hips and angled them up in such a way that had him sheathed so deeply that all I could do was hang onto him. The pressure felt like it would explode at any second with the way it had built up with the expertise from the man with me.

Suddenly my orgasm tore thru me. Stars blurred my vision with an blinding ecstasy that I have never known in my life. I clung to Kol's form desperately as if my entire being was tethered to him and if I let go I would float away into oblivion.

My walls clenched and unclenched around Kol's still rock hard member. I looked up through the pieces of my hair that stuck to my sweaty forehead with a glazed over lust filled look to find that Kol's matched mine except for the sated look that was in mine. Placing my hands gently on either side of his face I brought it down to my lips and kissed them with tenderness before tilting my head back and exposing my throat.

Pin pricks could be felt before deep greedy gulps were taken. And as Kol fed from me not only was I not worried but also incredibly turned on by it all, the eroticism of the moment I could now understand. I could feel Kol twitch inside me as he fed on my neck and I teasingly rolled my hips back into his and was gifted with the guttural groan from Kol.

He unlatched himself from his home at my throat before gazing down at me with a glower as the veins disappeared. I shyly peeked up and a smile grew onto my face to match the one Kol had blossoming onto his and the next thing I knew Kol had started back up again, making me groan and cling to him like my life depended on it.


The sun streamed through the open curtains, blinding me with there rays of light before I was able to get some bearing of my surroundings. I was stiff and sore all over, bruises marred my form and tiny puncture marks were in various places. Cocooned in a soft blanket and kept in place by an arm wrapped tightly around me. Turning in the small space that was allowed I saw Kol still blissfully asleep.

His hair was tousled more than usually and knowing why brought a smile to my lips, the images from last night's adventures flickered by. His breathing was low and deep causing me to feel the rise and fall of his expanding chest. Before long Kol's eyes fluttered open, he gave a sleepy groan before he spotted me and gave a lazy heart stopping grin to me. "Good morning kitten." Kol purred out while placing a languid kiss to my shoulder.

"Morning." I greeted and turned so I could face him properly and nuzzled myself into his side.

We stayed like that, just wrapped up in the other with no worries of the outside world. In that hotel room we had our own world protected from outside forces that we would have to leave today.

"So, last night was-"

"Amazing." Kol guessed with a playful twinkle before he yanked me down so I was now underneath the solid form that gave me such pleasure. "Incredible." A kiss was placed to the column of my neck. "Unbelievable." Another kiss but this one to my collarbone. "Astounding." Kol's lips found the juncture between my neck and head and bit down gently with human teeth. "Take your pick."

"You act like I showed you moves you've never seen before." I teased him.

Kol scoffed loudly and glared thru narrow happy eyes. "Did you ever. And I'm pretty sure we made Rosemary's baby!" I laughed at what had become the usual antics of the man child. "Oh, darling, it was extraordinary. The heat, the flexibility," at that Kol let out a soft chuckle, "I mean, you had moves that would make even the Devil blush."

I groaned and hid further into the plush bedcovers to cover my red face. A relatively gentle tug was felt and I slowly peeled my eyes up to see Kol looking down on me with a self-satisfied smirk and the air of a smug bastard around him. I scowled and he let out a chuckle at my antics before slowly bending down the few inches so our noses were touching before placing soft chaste kisses to my lips.

A warm, slow tingle ran up my spine, from my head to my toes, and I made a move to deepen our kiss further before Kol pulled back and kept himself out of reach. When I looked at him this time I saw a lazy grin on his face; this suited him so much better than the smirk of a prankster or the meanness of the serial killer or the sadness that eventually would envelope a thousand year old man, no this showed his age, his true age, the one he was stuck in for eternity.

"We should get ready if you want to be back by tonight."

I made an annoyed groan but got up anyway knowing he was right. If I didn't get back by this evening with a full and glowing report of this weekend's opening I would be royally fucked.

"Are you sure you don't mind giving me a ride?" I questioned while slipping on a pair of jeans and rummaging for a clean shirt.

"Not a bit." Kol said nonchalantly and eyed me openly.

After packing the last of our things we walked out of the room, went down the elevator and strolled the lobby's entrance all the while Kol never let go of my hand for a second. When we made it to Kol's vintage muscle car he opened the passenger door and made a grand gesture for me to get in first. "After you."

I smile and stepped in slowly. Kol closed the door behind and vamp sped into the car, his hair a slightly windblown with a grin. He started the car and we were silent for a time, leaving me in my thoughts. What had happened this weekend with us...I didn't know what. Were we a couple or friends with benefits or I was just some whore? My mind spun without knowing where it would stop and when.

A warm hand was placed on top of mine, pulling me from my revere out the window. Kol picked my hand up and maneuvered it so mine was on top and placed it down on the driving stick. Our fingers intertwined with the other's reminding me of last night and this morning, I blushed at the memory. Kol kept his gaze fixed on the road but I could every so often feel him tighten his fingers on mine.

I smiled to myself at the butterflies. This had to be the most corny cliché thing but it was true. I was like a little school girl around him with the way I felt. And that was the moment. The moment I realized I had started to fall for Kol Mikaelson's charms.
