Chapter 50

2 weeks later

Kol looked at his wife once again walking in the garden with Tatia's lookalike. They were talking, talking and talking, Sonja was anxious to know everything about her and her family. She had even written down everything Katerina had told her about her parents, grandparents and so on. Sonja's interest seemed to confuse the human, but clearly she didn't mind all the attention, Sonja was constantly fussing over her, making sure that she had everything she could possible need. Kol wasn't very thrilled about that, but he had been willing to tolerate the situation, for now, since he knew how important this was to Sonja. Then there was of course the damn servant, also wanting Sonja's attention. What about him, was he supposed to get in line and wait for his turn? No, this was getting too far. He gritted his teeth and marched towards Sonja and the human, who curtsied and smiled shyly when she saw him coming.

"My lord."

He greeted her with an impatient nod and turned to look at his wife.

"Sonja, I need to talk to you."

"Sure," she replied. "What is it?"

He was too annoyed to care about the human's presence, so he didn't even try to be discreet.

"I have needs and I am running out of patience, so get yourself to our chamber right now and get rid of that gown."

Katerina gasped and Sonja crossed her arms giving him an annoyed look.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me, woman, I am sick of competing with every charity project you happen to stumble upon. I have been beyond patient, but that ends now."

Her eyes narrowed.

"Really? And what are you planning to do about that?"

He grinned before grabbing her and lifting her over his shoulder.

"Let me go!" she shouted. "I will make you regret this, you barbarian!"

"Excuse us," he said giving the stunned human a smile before carrying Sonja towards the woods.

"Kol! This is not funny!"

"Yes, I agree, I should not have to do this."

"You just wait, you bastard!"

He used his vampire speed as soon as they were out of Katerina's sight and made sure that they were far from the castle before placing Sonja on the ground.

"What do you think you are doing?" she asked glaring at him. "If you think that this turns me on…"

The rest of her sentence turned into a surprised gasp when he pushed her against a tree and trapped her arms behind her back.

"Then I believe I would be right," he said huskily and leaned closer, letting his tongue to touch the sensitive spot behind her ear. "It has been almost a month, Sonja, and that simply will not do for me."

"Is that so?" she replied challengingly. "And what will my lord do about that?"

He grinned and nipped her ear before kissing her, letting her feel all his unfilled urges. The kiss was rough, almost aggressive, but he couldn't nor even wanted to hold back. She looked stunned when their lips finally parted.

"Oh my," she murmured. "Have I been a naughty little wife for not satisfying my lord's needs?"

She was smiling seductively, biting her bottom lip.

"Maybe my lord should punish me."

For a short moment he was unable to speak, all he could do was stare at her. How the hell was she able to turn him on like this without even touching him?

"Yes, maybe I should," he finally managed to say.

He was still keeping her arms behind her back, but that didn't stop her from lifting her leg and sliding it slowly towards his crotch. She had always been extremely flexible, like a cat and he certainly knew how to appreciate that. She kept teasing him until he grabbed her ankle and lifted it on his shoulder. Despite of her flexibility, she let out a growl of protest, he was almost a head taller than she was, so she had to get on her toes for not losing her balance. He chuckled, there was something arousing about her position. It gave him a free access under the hem of her gown and he wasted no time to use it. She wasn't wearing any knickers. The realization made him smile, what a naughty girl she was. And she was definitely just as aroused as he was, he could smell it without even touching her sweet core. She cried out when he thrust two fingers into her, making her hips jerk.

"Oh Kol!"

She tried to move her body, but he didn't allow that, it was his turn to tease her. He knew everything about her body, every special spot and just the right way to touch them. She moaned and whimpered, trying desperately to free her leg, but his grip kept it in place until her climax shook through her body, making her cry out his name. He kissed her shaking leg before placing it gently on the ground.

"Have my naughty wife learned her lesson?" he asked, fondling her stiffened nipples through her gown. She looked dazed; apparently she was still unable to reply. Without giving her any more time to recover, he unbuckled his pants and slammed into her so forcefully that she cried out and sank her nails into his shoulder blades when her back hit the tree.

"Sonja…"

Despite of his unbearable lust, he was completely aware of all her reactions, making sure that he wasn't hurting her, at least not more than she found pleasurable. Both of them were rough sometimes, that was one of the perks of having sex with another vampire, but he would have never caused her unpleasant pain. To him she was everything, the center of his whole existence. There was and there never would be anyone else. He was supporting her weight effortlessly with only one hand, and grabbed her shoulder with his other hand when he felt his climax approaching. His pace was getting faster, although he was already using his vampire speed. She tilted her head back as her second climax rushed over her.

"Oh Kol!"

His lips went to her neck and he bit down while reaching his climax. The sensation made him to let out a loud groan of pleasure. For a moment he allowed his head to rest on her neckline in order to recover. She was stroking his hair when he raised his head and kissed her, before placing her legs on the ground.

"Satisfied, my lord?" she asked teasingly.

"For now," he replied and lied down on the ground, enjoying his perfectly relaxed feeling. Sonja curled up next to him and he wrapped his arm around her.

"I believe you upset poor Katerina," she murmured. "Do not do that again or I will make you regret it."

He chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"No, I shall not upset her again, you have my word."

"Good."

She leaned her head on his chest and hummed quietly.

"What is that song?" Kol asked.

"It's a Bulgarian song, Katerina taught it to me." She paused and was quiet for a moment before she continued. "I would like to go to Bulgaria and meet Katerina's family. In a way, they are my family too."

Kol bit his lip.

"Yes, I suppose that's true. When do you want to leave?"

Sonja raised her head looking surprised.

"You do not mind?"

He smiled and touched her cheek.

"No, I want you to be happy. I know that maybe I have a clumsy way to show it sometimes, but I really do."

Her bright blue eyes were full of warmth when she looked at him.

"You know, maybe other people think you are all big and scary, but deep down you are as sweet as a puppy."

He was genuinely shocked by this comparison.

"Sonja, if you care about me at all, you will never repeat that to anyone."

Her eyes widened before she let out a soft laughter.

"You are so adorable," she said and leaned her head on his chest again.

"No, I am not," he murmured.

She was humming again, tracing patterns down his chest. Not many people could have called him adorable and live. He sighed and twirled her hair around his finger. A puppy… He was definitely too mushy with her, but there was nothing he could do about it, even his monster was purring with satisfaction. This woman would definitely be the death of him.


Katerina was more than confused when she had been suddenly left alone in the garden. She could still hear Sonja yelling at her husband, using a very vulgar language. She couldn't understand what kind of lady would speak to her husband like that, especially when that husband was the handsomest man she had ever seen. She could have spent the whole day simply looking at him.

Lord Elijah had been very kind to her and lord Niklaus had expressed his interest to marry her, she knew that she should be beyond flattered, but all she was able to think about was this brother of theirs, there was something about him that attracted her, something primal and untamed. She had even had some naughty dreams about him, although she knew she shouldn't have, he was married. With a woman who didn't respect him…

If he would be hers, she would never speak to him like that and she would certainly fulfill her marital duties. Yes, she would fulfill them as often as he would want… Her own thoughts made her blush; she knew she shouldn't think like that. She was trying to leave her past behind and start a new life. Many women would kill to have what she had, she wasn't a noblewoman, but yet there were at least three noblemen who had shown interest towards her, two of those men were among the wealthiest men in England.

And she even had a woman benefactor, she could help her with things that men couldn't, not without ruining her reputation. If only she wouldn't be the wife of the man she so desperately wanted. She had nothing against Sonja, the woman had been nothing but kind to her, although she couldn't always understand what her husband was seeing in her. Katerina's guess was that Sonja was from a wealthy family and the marriage had been arranged, that was the only explanation.

For some reason the thought filled her with bitterness, wealthy people could simple get what ever they wanted. That wasn't fair; she would be a much better wife. And she was more beautiful; all the men always told her how beautiful she was. Kol had noticed that too, she was sure of it, who wouldn't notice that. If she would only somehow get rid of his wife…no, that was a mean thought. She scolded herself for it and headed slowly back to the castle. Lord Niklaus had requested her company for a brunch so she couldn't keep him waiting. She had barely reached the main entrance when she heard someone calling her.

"Katerina!"

She turned and saw Trevor approaching her. Oh great, he was always following her around like some lapdog. Always bringing her gifts and telling her how much he loved her. It was pathetic really, like she would ever choose him over Lord Niklaus or Lord Elijah, although Lord Elijah hadn't actually proposed to her.

"Hello, Trevor," she said smiling sweetly.

He looked like as if her smile had brightened his whole day, he truly was head over heels in love with her.

"Katerina… You look ravishing."

"Thank you," she replied and curtsied. "Forgive me, but I must go now, lord Niklaus is expecting me."

His smile vanished, clearly he was disappointed.

"I see. Of course you must go then."

She gave him another smile and headed towards the dining room. She stopped when she heard voices from inside, apparently lord Niklaus was already there.

"Do you understand what I am saying, Nik?" a demanding woman's voice asked. "Kol can never know."

Katerina froze when she heard Kol's name.

"Yes, Bekah, I understand you just fine," Klaus snorted. "As I already promised to Sonja, I will not say anything to Kol."

"You better not, you owe her that much. Do you even understand what you did; you should have seen how upset she was."

"That was ages ago!" Klaus snapped. "Has she not got over it by now?"

"Got over it? You really are a pig."

"Oh please, deep down, she wanted it. Now enough of this, we shall forget the whole thing."

Rebekah gave him some snappy answer, but Katerina couldn't hear it. That woman had actually dared to be unfaithful… Poor Kol deserved someone so much better. At least he should definitely know what kind of harlot his wife was. Of course she couldn't be the one who would tell that to him… Well, it was a good thing that she wouldn't have to. She placed the smile back on her face and went to look for dear, foolish Trevor. This would be perfect.
