Chapter 31

As Stefan and Caroline stepped out of Trinity night club the heavens opened up and rain cascaded down their shoulders. Caroline shrieked but when Stefan turned towards her, she was smiling as she looked up fondly into the evening sky. She didn't care that her beautiful curls were becoming damp and limp or that her carefully crafted make up was spoiling. Nothing mattered in that moment. She only wanted to be in Stefan's arms, too feel loved and wanted.

"Where are we going to go?" Caroline asked as Stefan gripped her hand in his as he walked up and down the pavement looking for a cab.

The truth was he didn't know where they were going to go but he just needed to have her and this time it wasn't the ripper calling for her , it was him and that feeling was so overwhelming that he couldn't process anything other than wanting to be with her. Stefan never knew that love and lust could coexist so perfectly. Stefan spotted a limo on the opposite of Trinity dropping off a few club patrons. Without a second thought he swooped Caroline into his arms and ran across the street and knocked on the Limo driver's window. The driver rolled down his window and looked at Stefan suspiciously.

"Can I help you?" He asked in a stuffy voice.

Stefan placed Caroline back on her feet before he reached into his jean pocket and pulled out his wallet. Caroline's jaw dropped when he pulled out a couple of hundred dollar bills and shoved it into the driver's hands.

"Will this be enough to take us to Fairmont Olympic Hotel?" Stefan queried.

The driver nodded his head enthusiastically before replying yes. Stefan reached for Caroline's hand and walked her to the back where they climbed into the luxurious space. This limo was without a doubt more lavish than the limo that Damon had hired for them earlier that evening. However Caroline had little time to acknowledge her surroundings because in a flash Stefan's mouth had descended down on hers. Caroline gasped into his kiss as she placed a hand on his thigh to keep herself upright. The sexual urgency between the pair was becoming more and more evident and Stefan could no longer restrain himself – he was done with the whole idea. He refused to listen to sanity and reason.

Stefan undid her halter shirt and her bra and took advantage of her creamy white skin by cupping her breasts intimately before moving his mouth away from hers as he made the journey down her cheekbone to her neck into the creamy slopes of her breasts. Caroline couldn't help the mews and groans that escaped her. He really was unhinging and unlocking her senses. Caroline reached for his shirt but suddenly the limo came to a stop and she whipped her hand back as Stefan moved away from her.

With quick hands he refastened her bra and halter top just as the partition that separated them and the driver eased down.

"We're here sir."

"Thank you." Stefan answered as his door was opened by one of the valet boys of the hotel.

Stefan took Caroline's hand in his as they both stepped out the limo.

"No bags , sir?" The valet asked as he eyed Caroline's voloupritous curves.

Stefan almost growled but Caroline only shook her head at the valet. Stefan was grateful when the valet turned around and left them. Stefan looked into Caroline's eyes and he wanted to tell her a million reasons why he felt the way he did but when he saw the lust in her eyes he knew that talk would come later.

Without another word they stepped into the prestigious hotel. Stefan procured them a suite and before Caroline knew it she was standing in a luxurious bedroom as Stefan made his way towards her like she was unsuspecting victim – his prey.

"Stefan …" Caroline whispered, shocked by the force she was feeling.

Stefan didn't say a word as he leaned in and kissed her until each of his kisses filled her with desperation. He reached for her top again and made quick work of removing her clothing until she was standing naked before him. He had never seen anything as beautiful as she. Stefan had once thought that Katherine and Elena were beautiful but he couldn't have been more wrong. Caroline went above and beyond them.

Caroline followed suit and also removed Stefan from his clothing until he had pushed her gently onto the bed and hovered over her as she lay sprawled beneath him. Caroline suddenly looked so innocent , her blonde hair strewn across the pillows like a halo, her porcelain skin flushed with anticipation and her grey eyes half closed in anticipation.

Stefan hesitated for a few seconds as he took in the woman before him. He wanted her but he wanted this to be more than just sex. He wanted to show her that what they had wasn't some fleeting fling that would fickle out. Stefan wanted her to know the depths of his feelings for her. So when their bodies finally joined and became one, Stefan cupped his hands on either side of her face, forcing her to look at him as he moved their bodies together.

"I love you." He whispered as Caroline gazed back at him.

"I love you too." She answered before succumbing to the glorious friction and passion their bodies created.

Stefan shivered as he pulsed with pleasure before he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tight as he moved off her and rolled onto his side. They waited as their bodies slowed down and their breaths became even once more. Neither said a word as they lay there just looking at each other. Green to Grey. There was nothing but them in this moment. No Elena, no Tyler and no worry. It was just them and what they had always needed. Just to be together. Sleep overtook them both as they both dreamed of never leaving the sanctuary of the hotel room.
