Hello dear readers! I am back with the second chapter of the story. Before you start reading this chapter, I would like to thank you for all the reviews, favs, and follows.

Next, I would like to give forewarning of sorts. This chapter has a detailed sex scene. The thing is that I haven't even written such an explicit sex scene in any of my previous stories, so I am a bit nervous about it. So do let me know how it was. I am hopeful that you'll enjoy reading this chapter.

The last thing I wanted to tell you that though Hayley might make an appearance in this story, nothing will happen between her and Klaus. This means there will be no miracle baby, well, not of Hayley's for sure. This leads to the question that I wanted to ask - would you like to see Caroline pregnant with Klaus's baby?

Do let me know about it in your reviews, okay!

Anticipation.

It was the most pronounced emotion amongst the variety of emotions that Caroline was experiencing. After rushing away from school, Caroline had stopped by her house first to get rid of the graduation costume. She didn't wait for a second longer and sped over to the Mikaelson mansion. Caroline had waited for so long already, and it was nothing less than torture. Time without Klaus was agonizingly tormenting, and she had no desire to go through all that again. And now that she was standing outside the Mikaelson mansion, all the pain had seemed to vanish.

Nothing mattered to her at this point; all the wrongful things Klaus had done to her friends, family, and all those people she loved and cared for, nothing was of importance at that moment. Caroline knew that this was wrong, dishonorable to those whom Klaus had hurt, but it felt so right. Klaus was a sinner and a sin by himself, but she had seen a sliver of goodness in him, and she couldn't let go. Moreover, she was interested in both the parts of Klaus and wanted all of him, which is why she was here.

Licking her slightly dry lips, Caroline pressed the doorbell and waited for Klaus to open the door. She didn't have to wait for long as Klaus was there in two seconds. "Hi!" he breathed as he opened the door for her. He had gotten rid of the suit that he was wearing earlier and had changed into his casual attire - a burgundy-colored henley and black jeans.

His eyes appreciative as he stared at her from top to bottom and then back to the top, "You look beautiful, love." he stretched his hand in front of her, which she took without hesitation.

Klaus gently pulled her inside and led her to the family room, "Would you like to drink something? Coffee, tea, wine, or perhaps a bag of B+?"

Caroline almost groaned at his pathetic attempt to start a conversation as both of them were very well aware that she hadn't come there for a drink or to talk. She shook her head in a no and sat on the couch. Klaus rubbed his hands over his jeans-clad thighs before sitting opposite her on the love seat. He let out a deep sigh before saying, "So, you missed me."

That earned him an eye roll, "I think I made it pretty clear earlier today." she muttered as she ran her finger over the sequin flowers of her dress.

"Apologies, love." Klaus chuckled, "I didn't have a reason to believe that I'll be missed, considering our circumstances."

Caroline looked up at him, "It's strange, isn't it? That there's not even a single reason for me to long for you, but I did. I have never been so gloomy and broken-hearted ever, but you brought me to that point, Niklaus Mikaelson. What have you done to me?" it wasn't an accusation but a simple question that Caroline had been asking herself all this while.

What exactly has Niklaus Mikaelson done to her for her to be so lost without him?

"I could ask you the same question, sweetheart." Klaus stood up and went over to the bar, pouring himself a glass of whiskey, "In my entire life, I haven't felt the way you make me feel. You bring out that lost human, Caroline, the one who died that day a thousand years ago."

"Is that bad?" she asked as she began to take slow steps towards him.

"It's overwhelming." he answered and drank his drink in one sip, "So powerful and consuming." he slammed the glass on the countertop while she kept moving towards him.

"What if I tell you that it's mutual?" she asked as she stood close to him, only an inch of space between them, "It's overwhelming for me as well, Klaus. It's so wrong; you have hurt people I love and care for, but never has anything felt so right." Caroline raised herself on the tip of her toes and brushed her lips against Klaus's.

She moved back slightly to look at his face and was pleased to see his closed eyes and slightly parted lips, "Be careful with your actions, sweet Caroline. We don't want to start something that you are not comfortable with finishing." His voice husky and so alluring, it caused heat to pool inside her belly.

"I am clear about what I want, Klaus." she pecked him on the lips again, "What about you?"

A low growl answered her question, and suddenly she was pulled up and seated on the bar counter. Bottles of bourbon, whiskey, and rum crashed to the floor, along with a pile of shot glasses and tumblers. Klaus stepped between her legs and captured her lips in a savage, bruising kiss. Not minding the roughness, Caroline moaned in satisfaction and hooked her arms around his neck. One of Klaus's hands went up in her hair, cradling her head for a better angle, while his other hand was on her breast, squeezing and kneading.

Her nipples pebbled, dampness coating her panties as she craved for more. The scent of arousal flickered in the air, causing Klaus to pull Caroline flush against his body. His hands trailed down to grip onto the fabric of her dress. He was about to tear her dress apart, wanting to feel her skin, but stopped when Caroline pushed him away slightly, "Wait!" she panted.

Klaus groaned and nipped at her bottom lip, "Don't tell me to stop."

"I am not telling you to. It's just that I like this dress very much and want this to remain in one piece." Caroline explained and jumped off the counter to remove the dress.

She could feel his intense gaze burning her skin as she unzipped her dress and lowered it down her body at a slow pace. She was teasing him, and he was enjoying the show. After the dress, Caroline removed her heels and the jewelry. She was about to unclasp her strapless bra, but Klaus didn't let her.

"You are exquisite, love." he murmured as he circled her, "Come with me." his voice gentle, unlike his actions a few minutes ago.

Caroline placed her hand in his outstretched one only to have him lead them upstairs. She didn't care about anything and just followed him to where he was taking her without questioning him about it. He led her through the hallway and inside a bedroom. "Yours?" she asked.

"Mine." he whispered from where he stood behind her. His arms were around her waist, and his chin on her shoulder.

"Really?" Caroline was genuinely surprised, as she had not imagined Klaus's bedroom to be like this. Klaus chuckled at her response and placed an open-mouthed kiss on her neck.

"What? Did you expect torture weapons, blood splatters, a coffin with a dead body inside?" he asked while rubbing circles on her stomach, squeezing her waist sometimes.

Caroline wanted him to move his hands away from her stomach and touch other parts of her body that were craving his touch, "Not all that, but I did except your bedroom to be in darker tones. Not in the shades of blue and white." she answered while breathing heavily.

"Please." she moaned.

"Please what, Caroline?" he whispered in her ear while he continued to roam his hands over her stomach area.

She huffed out a breath and took hold of his hands and dragged his hands upwards, pressing them on her breasts, "Do you want me to tell you everything? Are you that lacking?"

Her teasing words made Klaus growl and bite her neck using his blunt teeth. Caroline hissed in pain but then moaned in pleasure as Klaus massaged her breasts. Her left hand slid down and went in between their bodies as she began rubbing it over his hardened cock through his jeans. She loved the sound of his moan and continued with her ministrations.

Klaus bowed slightly to pick up Caroline in his arms in bridal style. He gently lowered her down on his bed and adjusted the pillows behind her head so that she was comfortable. Klaus pulled off his henley and his jeans before crawling onto the bed. He placed his legs on either side of her, in a straddling position as he hovered over her.

"So beautiful." he kissed her forehead before kissing her on the lips. He was gentle this time, slow, and soft. His lips were moving along hers in a romantic rhythm while his hands were caressing her sides. She nipped at his bottom lip, her hands finding purchase in his hair while Klaus pushed his tongue inside her mouth, stroking hers as their lips melded in perfection.

"I hope this wasn't one of your favorites" said Klaus pulling away as he raised the tattered scraps of her bra. At some point, while they were kissing, he had ripped off her bra into pieces. Caroline just laughed in response and pulled him down for another kiss. She sighed into his mouth as she finally felt his warm hand against her supple flesh. The soft sigh quickly turned into a loud moan as Klaus's fingers pulled and pinched her hardened nipples. She arched against him, their lips never breaking from the heated kiss.

Breaking away from the kiss, Klaus trailed his lips along the column of her neck. He licked, sucked, and kissed her all over her neck, shoulders, and chest before moving down to her breasts. Caroline's hands were in his hair while her legs wrapped around his waist. Klaus used his hand to massage one breast while he ran his tongue over the other, avoiding her pebbled nipple.

"Klaus!" slightly troubled by the lack of attention, Caroline roughly tilted his head so that his mouth aligned with her nipple. He let out a deep chuckle before pulling the neglected nub in his mouth.

Caroline moaned, her head falling backward as Klaus sucked onto her nipple. The heated sensation of his tongue running over the nub and that of his teeth biting it gently, filled her up with a desire for more. She wanted all of him today and wanted to surrender herself to him as well.

Klaus nuzzled the valley between her breasts, inhaling her unique scent. He had dreamt of this for so long. Klaus had dreamt of having Caroline in his bed, naked and writhing for his touch. And now that he had here where he wanted her to be, he was going to worship her. He ought to make this an unforgettable experience for her.

He turned his attention over to her other breast while his hand slithered down to her damp core. He cupped her vagina while putting gentle pressure over her clit. Caroline's sharp intake of breath didn't stop him from rubbing his fingers over her clothed vagina. The feeling of his mouth on her nipple and his hand on her sensitive core made Caroline cry out his name in pleasure.

Klaus hummed in delight and sucked onto her nipple one last time before pulling his mouth away. "My goddess." Klaus murmured against her skin as he glided down her body. His fingers hooked into the waistband of her panties as he tore the undergarment off her body. The sight of her wet folds caused hot blood to flood his member all over again. The exotic scent of her arousal filled his nostrils, and he couldn't help but nuzzle the tip of his nose around her clit and labia.

"Oh my God!" Caroline cried out loudly and sat up only to have Klaus push her down using his hand, "Relax, sweetheart. I am going to worship you just the way you deserve." he whispered against her over-sensitive sex. He peppered her inner thighs with kisses before placing his lips on her aching core.

One long lick of his tongue had her writhing and screaming in pleasure. Never had she felt like this with any of her previous lovers. "Flavourful, just like I had imagined." he murmured and began twirling his tongue around her clit. She tasted like sunshine on his tongue, sweet, warm, and exclusively Caroline. He ran his tongue up and down her dripping core in a pattern, tasting her fluids while he thumbed her swollen nub. Smoothly he inserted one finger inside her, pumping it in and out at a slow pace. "Don't you fucking tease me, Klaus!" Caroline cried and pushed harder against him

At this, Klaus added another digit inside her and started thrusting them harder. He drove her orgasm blindingly fast with his fingers and mouth. Caroline's orgasm came strong and swift under his skillful mouth and talented fingers, her eyes rolling back in her head and breath coming out in heavy pants. His tongue lapped at her fluids, drinking in her orgasm, and her body trembled in response to his actions.

"Come here." she breathed while sitting up on the bed and opening up her arms for him. He looked up from where he was kneeling and put his fingers in his mouth. The fingers that had been inside her and gave her such a glorious orgasm. The action stirred inside her a tingling excitement that she was unfamiliar with, but it felt so good.

Klaus pulled her into his lap, and Caroline shivered when she felt his naked, hot, and hard cock against her skin. They joined their mouths in a sensual kiss moaning in unison. She tasted herself on his tongue, and their combined taste flooded her bloodstream with a warm current. His hands moved up and down her spine while she rocked her body against his enjoying the delicious friction.

"I want...- oh!" Klaus had just positioned her on his lap in such a way that his cock was in direct contact with her soaked vagina, "It feels so.." she hummed, not finding the right word to describe the feeling.

"I know." he croaked, resting his forehead against hers, "I know." he repeated his hand on her ass tightening, his fingers digging in harshly. A shriek escaped her swollen lips at being suddenly pushed down on the bed. Using his hands, he parted her legs and kneeled between them. For a minute or two, he just stared at her while palming his throbbing cock. She looked breathtaking laying down on his bed, naked, trembling with need, and so ready for him to take, to please, to devour, and to worship.

Spreading her thighs wider, Klaus rubbed the crown of his cock over her wet folds before coming to her entrance. He pushed the tip of his hard as steel member to let her have a feel of what is about to come. He was giving her a chance, just in case, she didn't want to do it. "Oh, for God's sake, stop teasing me, Klaus! Fuck me already!" Caroline whined, her eyes squeezed shut, hands fisting the fabric of his sheets as she canted her hips upwards, seeking more of him.

Giving in to her demand, Klaus let his cock slide inside her blazing hot and wet core. Both of them moaned at the intimate connection. His breath hitched as he filled her completely, his cock snug inside her. He stilled for a moment, basking in the intimacy that the two shared.

"Please." that came out as a whimper, a plea as she clenched around him.

Klaus leaned down to kiss her stomach, his fingers entwining with hers as he pulled out of her heat only to slam back into her, harder and faster.

"Oh, yes!"

The light whisper of the words reflected the immense pleasure that she experienced as he thrust in and out of her, his pace hard and fast. Her fluids coated his length, the smell of sex, sweat, and arousal filling up the air. Her soft, breathy moans were like music to his ears, a perfect melody. She was his dream, his desire, and so much more. He wasn't just fucking her, he was living her.

Caroline was in a state of pure bliss; sex with Klaus was a wonderful experience on its own. She rebuked herself for taking so long to give in to her desires. She had had sex before but with Klaus, "Oh my dear God!" Caroline whispered as his cock sank inside her core, hitting a spot that had her toes curling in pleasure. Her eyes snapped open when his fingers left hers to grasp her breasts that fit his hands perfectly.

An intense wave of pleasure washed over her as she took in his hybrid features that overtook his human ones. Black & blue veins protruded from under his skin, his eyes the color of gold, his breath coming out in huffed pants, giving her a view of his fangs. Her own monster clawed at her insides, desperate to come out as she ogled at his monstrous appearance.

Attuned to her, Klaus tweaked her nipples and grunted, "Let me see." He didn't need to ask again as Caroline let her vampire take over. Black and blue veins decorated her face as her eyes turned red in color. Her own set of fangs dropping down, nicking at her lower lip as she mewled.

Klaus hooked his fingers around her wrist, pulling her upwards in a sitting position. Caroline locked her ankles behind his back and buried her face in his neck, licking it as the desire to sink her fangs in his neck surfaced. She recognized the similar need in Klaus when he grazed her neck with his fangs and knew that he was hesitating because he was afraid that his werewolf venom would hurt her.

She used a hand to gather her hair on one side, exposing her neck for him, "Do it." urged Caroline while letting him have the feel of her fangs against his neck.

"Caroline," he called her name through clenched teeth, almost like a warning. But she needed this. She knew how intimate and personal blood sharing was for vampires, and she wanted to have that with Klaus. She didn't say anything instead, she tilted his head down to her neck while she bit his lightly. A guttural sound rumbled inside his chest as Klaus sank his fangs into her neck while Caroline did the same to him.

A delicious hum resonated in the air with the rush of blood in their mouths. Their bodies vibrated with something very primal that satisfied their monsters. Klaus's pace quickened, and his thrusts became harder with each pull of their mouths against each other's necks. Her fingers digging into his shoulders, and his found purchase in her hips. Euphoria engulfed them as their orgasm crashed down on them, powerful, intense, and potent to such a degree that they felt the earth shook beneath them.

Klaus removed his mouth from her neck, but he didn't pull out his cock from inside her. Caroline didn't complain either as she licked the puncture wounds on his neck. They rolled down on the bed, still connected. Caroline was lying on her back, and Klaus was lying atop her. She didn't mind his body weight, in-fact, she liked holding him that way.

For the next few minutes, they just laid there. Eyes closed, heavy breathing, lax bodied as they basked in the post-coital bliss. Klaus buried his face in the crook of her neck, his warm breath fanning at her skin as she ran her hands up and down his back, loving the feel it. The silence was comforting and fulfilling.

"I missed you." he uttered those words in such a soft voice that was unlike Klaus.

Tilting her neck, she pecked him on the lips and murmured, "I missed you too." Both of them smiled and leaned in for another peck before Klaus stood up and went to the en suite bathroom. He came back holding two towels in his hand, then joined her back on the bed, kneeling between her legs. A shy smile curled upon her lips, her cheeks turning pink as she realized what Klaus was doing.

With utmost care, Klaus used the wet towel to wipe her clean and used the other one to pat her dry. He then threw both the towels in the laundry basket. Picking up the comforter that had landed up on the floor at some point, Klaus draped it around both of them and carried her to the attached balcony. Once there, he laid down on the giant bean bag and positioned Caroline by his side as they snuggled under the warmth of the comforter.

Caroline relaxed in his hold, feeling safer than she had ever felt, calm and content. She hadn't been able to sleep properly for the past month and a half, but now as she laid in his hold, Caroline fell asleep.

"Don't leave me, okay." she mumbled into his chest.

"Okay." he promised and kissed her forehead.

Klaus waited till Caroline was asleep soundly before getting up. He went back inside and put on a pair of loose shirts. Klaus pulled the soiled sheets off the bed and replaced them with clean ones. He then picked up the scraps of their clothing and threw them inside the laundry basket. Afterward, Klaus arranged the pillows in a way that would most comfortable for Caroline. Satisfied with everything, he went to the balcony and gathered Caroline in his arms, careful not to wake her up.

Tenderly, he placed her on the bed and chuckled as she rolled on the bed a few times before settling on her stomach. Laying down by her side, he pulled her in his arms and covered them both with the comforter. Joining their foreheads, Klaus let out a sigh, "I don't think I will be able to leave after what we had shared." He thought of his impending departure because he had to go back to New Orleans in two days.

The sky had turned dark when Caroline woke up from her deep slumber. Klaus had his arms wrapped around her in a protective and possessive hold, their legs tangled under the comforter. She smiled and snuggled deeper into his chest, happy that he was still there.

"Hey!" he smiled, to which she responded with one of her own, "Hi!"

Caroline sat up, stretching her arms above her head, and yawned. "Thank you." she said, entwining her fingers with his.

"For what?"

"For coming back, for just being here."

"I wouldn't miss your graduation for anything, love." he pulled a strand of her hair between his fingers and started twirling it. "I want to be a part of your life, want to share every precious moment of it with you."

Caroline just gave him a sweet smile before grabbing her cell phone from the bedside table. She had received a total of 49 missed calls from her friends and her mother, and there were several more messages in her inbox. Ignoring the ones from her friends, Caroline clicked on the texts that her mother had sent.

"Can I stay here tonight?" she wanted to be sure before messaging her mother about her whereabouts.

Klaus ran his fingers through her hair, "You don't have to ask."

Caroline walked at a speed that was even slower than her human walking speed. She had spent last night at the Mikaelson mansion, with Klaus, in his arms. They had talked for a little while about her plans regarding college. And then he had presented her with the gifts that he had brought for her.

A mini-fridge; he had remembered about it from one of her rants.

A stationary set. It included a personalized journal, colored pens, highlighters, markers, different colored sticky notes, and a bunch of other stuff. Only to humor her habit of making lists and detailed plans.

But her personal favorite was the tiny infinity necklace in silver. It was a piece of minimalist jewelry that she planned on wearing every day.

She was ecstatic that he was here, and not even the impending interrogation at the Salvatore house would change that. She would let them talk, give their advice, but that doesn't mean she will put anything into action unnecessarily. After so long, she was finally feeling content, happy, and safe. She won't let anybody or anything take that away from her.

Caroline sat on a chair while being surrounded by her friends - Bonnie, Elena, Matt, Stefan, and even Damon. Each one of them was looking at her with disapproving eyes and a scowl on their face. To Caroline, it looked hilarious, but she refrained from laughing because she knew that it would only make the matter worse. She wanted to get over this confrontation as soon as possible.

"Klaus is here." someone began. Caroline was too distracted to think about it. An ache began to develop in her chest, and she realized she was missing Klaus. Even though it had only been a few hours since she had last seen him, but she felt lost without him. It was a strange feeling that had her frowning in concern.

"Yes." she replied, totally not interested in the conversation.

"You were the 'friend' he was talking about." that was a statement and not a question.

"Yes."

"And last night, when we were worried sick -" Caroline didn't let them complete the sentence and answered beforehand.

"Yes, I was with him the whole day, spent the night with him as well.", she tried her best to rein in the undescribable anger that was threatening to burst out.

"Fraternizing with the big and bad, are you Barbie?" it was Damon, of course.

Caroline rolled her eyes, "I think I made that pretty clear. Do I have to simplify it for you?" she asked in a sugary-sweet voice.

Damon just scoffed in response and was about to say something, but Elena grabbed his arm, gesturing him not to.

"We're worried for you, Care. You know how dangerous Klaus is." Stefan spoke in a gentle tone that had Caroline sighing.

"You don't have to, Stefan." she smiled, "He just came to attend my graduation, that's it. He isn't here to hurt any of us."

"Have you forgotten what he did to us? He has killed -" Caroline interrupted Elena in between and scoffed, "We all have killed different people for different reasons, Elena."

"And before you pass a comment regarding my choices in lovers, well, we both can have a lengthy discussion on that. What do you think?" while she was speaking to Elena, Caroline's eyes were on Damon.

"Care." Bonnie looked at her with those judgy eyes that Damon always spoke off. Her stare was unnerving, and Caroline wanted to run away from there. More than that, she wanted to go back to Klaus. Something had changed between them, and it was certainly not normal.

"Listen," she stood up from the chair and took a few steps towards the main door, "Let's not overthink this, okay. Klaus hasn't done anything yet, and I am sure he's just visiting for a few days. He didn't hurt me even when you guys used me as a distraction for him. Instead, he makes me feel safer, happier than I ever was. So forgive me if you don't like it, I want to spend time with him. And this time, I am not gonna let you guys judge me over anything."

She used her vampire speed to rush out of the Salvatore house and ran straight to the Mikaelson mansion. The desire to be with Klaus was so strong at that moment that all she could think of was him and nothing else. Not a single thing mattered to her at that moment. Caroline had never felt this way with any of her previous lovers. This was new. And as new as this "thing" was, it was equal parts frightening and fierce. An unexplainable feeling, a complicated puzzle.

The closer she got to the mansion, all the earlier restlessness seemed to be vanishing. She slowed down once she reached the doorstep, took in a deep breath before entering. She followed the rhythmic beating of Klaus's heart to find him in the massive mansion. Contentment filling her up with each step that she took towards him.

Caroline found him in his studio, where he was painting something on a giant canvas. Dressed only in a pair of rugged jeans, Klaus moved his hands on the canvas with the expertise he had attained over the years. For a moment, she stood there and kept on watching him move. She leaned against the doorframe, admiring the defined muscles of his back.

"Had a nice conversation with your friends?" he asked as he continued to paint.

She didn't say anything. Instead, she walked over to stand behind Klaus and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her actions made him stop what he was doing and settled his hands over hers. Caroline rested her cheek against his naked back and closed her eyes as she felt tranquil embrace her. "It was okay, but I missed you."

Caroline pouted at his hearty chuckle and added, "I know I have been saying the same thing over and over, but -"

"It's okay. I like hearing you tell me about how much you have missed me.". he pulled her to his lips and laid a kiss on the back of it.

In response, Caroline placed an open-mouth kiss between his shoulder blades and then resumed her previous position. Klaus let her hold him to her heart's content. To be honest, he needed her to hold on to him like that. Dread and uncertainty had penetrated his entire being the moment she had walked out of his home earlier this morning. He had thought that she might not come back again, but she did.

The temptation to follow behind her became noticeable half an hour after she had left. As time passed, the urge only grew by leaps and bounds. But still, Klaus did nothing about it. He didn't want to make things complicated for her, especially with her friends. So he waited, and fortunately, she came back to him.

He had felt her presence the instant she had arrived at his doorstep, but he didn't move from where he was. He wanted her to come to him, and she did. And everything was perfect.
