***This is an outtake Liv wrote, there are three more chapters from her as well. I thought about deleting the AN that Liv wrote, but I wanted it to be your choice if you wanted to read it. My note is at the bottom. If there are any mistakes, my apologies...I just couldn't change a word.~Erin***
I just wanted to thank all of you for following this story despite the updates being few and further between of late. I promise to be better about that. It's been a rough week, and I haven't been feeling as well as I'd hoped but I've had some time to write and think about the direction I want this story to take. I hope that you enjoy this outtake with a little Klaroline moment :)
This story started out as something to pass the time and it turned into so much more because of all of you :)
I love you guys, and this story is now for you!
Sorry for the lack of song, I couldn't think of one...but if you do let me know and I'll add it!
Xoxo

Jeremy, Bonnie, Klaus and Caroline had spent almost an hour in the bar before Caroline got up and told the group she was ready for bed.
With a big yawn, she excused herself and Klaus was quick to follow.
"What do you suppose those two are up to?" Jeremy asked.
"I don't know, but since we're sharing the suite with them I'm really glad that neither of us has supernatural hearing." Bonnie said with a laugh.
Jeremy held out his hand and helped Bonnie off the stool she'd been perched on as they made their way back up to the room as well.

As soon as the door closed behind the pair, Klaus lifted Caroline into the air and sped into the bedroom where he pressed her against the wall and delivered a searing kiss. As her fingers tangled in his hair a low growl rumbled from his belly.
"Keep it up love and I'll be ripping this pretty dress." He whispered as he fingered the delicate fabric that laid across her shoulder.
Caroline gave him a sly smile as she leveraged herself back to the ground and literally shoved Klaus onto the bed before she grasped the collar of his shirt and sent buttons scattering across the floor. Her lips locked onto his collarbone as he reached around for the zipper on her dress still clinging to the last ounce of control as he tried not to destroy the dress.
"Rip it." Caroline growled.
Klaus looked at her for a split second as if to confirm the words he just heard come out of her mouth, once he was satisfied the dress lay in tatters on the floor. His eyes roamed over the porcelain skin that covered her lightly muscled frame. She was soft in all the right places he thought as he let his fingers glide over the curveof her hips to the pale blue scrap of lace that surrounded them.
"You are simply stunning, Love."
"You're not so bad yourself." She whispered as she kissed a path from the top of his sternum down to his navel where a this line of pale brown hair slipped beneath the top of his jeans.
"Oh love, you better not be playing because you are about to pass the point of no return." He whispered as watched her fingers dance over the buttonfly of his jeans.
"Oh I'll play, but trust me...love, you're going to like it." She said with a smirk as she turned his favored endearment on him for a change.
"Of that, I have no doubt." He said as he turned the tables once more and pinned her to the mattress with his legs anchoring her hips to the bed.
A moment later, her body began to heat up as his lips landed at the pulse point on her neck and his fingers began to coax the lacey fabric of her bra from her shoulders.
Caroline was never one for patience, she her hands were busy pulling his belt free and popping each of the buttons open until she could push his pants from his hips. The second her effort paid off Klaus relented and turned to his back raising his hips to help her remove his jeans.
As soon as they fell free landing in a puddle at her feet, Caroline reached back and released the clasp allowing her bra to join them while Klaus pulled off his shirt and tossed it aside. His eyes never left the woman standing before him.
"One day, I'd like to paint you just like that." He whispered as he held a hand out to her until she stood in front of him.
"Hmmm. Maybe someday." She said with a shy smile.
"Perhaps without these, love." He said as he gave her that devilish smile just before she felt the elastic snap against her skin and the last of her lacey undergarments hit the floor.
Before she could react, Klaus stood dropping the last scrap of cotton that separate them before he lifted Caroline and pressed her back to the wall with her belly level with his piercing blue eyes just seconds before she felt the cool caress of his lips.
"Over a thousand years and I've never seen a more beautiful sight." He whispered as he let her body slide down against his skin.
Caroline looked into his eyes as if to contest his assessment, but all she saw was that one glaring truth. That look erased any doubts that lingered as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him with a hunger she had never shown him before.
Klaus turned and pulled the sheets back before gently laying her back against the pillows and settling himself above her resting on his elbows. He stared openly at her as he brushed strands of her hair back and whispered, "How is it that someone as kind as you could see through a thousand years of treachery?"
"If we were all judged solely on our past, then how could we ever make a future. I believe that there is good in you, all you have to do is believe that, too." She whispered as she touched his cheek and swept a single tear away without a word.
"I want to. For you, I want to." He answered before he entertwined their fingers and kissed her with all of the hope he felt in that moment.
Caroline started to speak, but her words faltered as Klaus looked into her eyes and slowly slid into her. It took everything she had to keep her eyes focused on his as every part of his body was touching hers.
She was given a reprieve when Klaus threw his head back on a groan and Caroline watched as the vein pulsed beside his throat.
She looked at him cautiously and asked, "Can I?"
He nodded and her heart fluttered as she leaned forward and let her tongue glide over his neck as his blood danced beneath his skin and before she had a single coherent thought her teeth lengthened and pierced his flesh.
The sound of wood splintering behind her should have given her pause, but in that moment she realized there was something much deeper between her and Klaus. Trust.
As she eased away from him, she glanced up and saw the yellow flash against the blue of his eyes for just and instant and she knew he wouldn't hurt her. His lips quickly found hers tasting his own blood on her as he picked up a steady rhythm.
Caroline giggled as she looked up and saw cracks in the head board.
"That's going to be tough to explain tomorrow." She said with a smile.
Klaus just followed her line of sight and smirked as he knelt in front of her and pulled her up over his lap.
"Love, we'll be lucky if we don't have to compel the entire floor by morning." He growled against her ear.
For hours it seemed, the pair christened nearly every horizontal surface and several less than horizontal surfaces. Caroline was exhausted by the time they finally landed back in the bed with Klaus ghosting his fingers over every inch of flesh within reach.
"I always knew you would be magnificent, love."
"Well, a thousand years of practice certainly hasn't hurt your game either." She smiled as she leaned up to kiss him before the pair of them curled around one another to get what amounted to an hour of sleep before the sun rose and they had to leave the comfort of their room.
Liv's family and I are so completely blown away and touched by the outpouring of messages from everyone on FF. While some of you knew her, others only knew her work and yet we've seen hundreds of messages and reviews from so many of you.
In one of the most difficult times, you have all given us a reason to smile and remember what a kind and giving soul she was. This was one of her favorite songs. It was also the song we played at her service today, and there was not a dry eye in the house.
If you've never heard it, give it a listen. I'll probably cry every time I hear it for the rest of my life, but it's beautiful!
WARREN ZEVON - Keep Me In Your Heart
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile
These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Livi, you will never be far from my heart...I miss you already. Love you to the moon and the stars, and hopefully you'll be there to receive it! Goodbye for now, little sister :)
