This is the finally chapter to this story which has followed me through the ups and downs of my life the last few months. I would like to thank all of you for continuing with the story even when I thought I might not.
Special thanks to The Lovely Vero and Caritobear.
Now without further delay.
Klaus' eyes bore into hers after she spoke sending shivers down her spine, with a look like that Caroline knew he had clear intentions. She smiled as she watched his lips following a trail of breathless and burning kisses from her neck straight down to her chest.
As he slid off the rest of his pants Klaus took care to press a few light ones around Caroline's soft skin feeling her stomach tense under his touches until he floating above her parted thighs. His parted lips teased her skin with his breath sending a range of shivers as he paused as he paused placing his hands on her knees before gliding them under her thighs.
She looked up at him, caught off guard by the depth of the desire she found staring back at her she felt unable to sit still her body aching for him to continue. The feel of his eyes over her was heavy, clouding her with need, she groaned as she moved a hand from his hair and slid a finger over her center.
She squeezed her eyes shut as she pressed down gently, letting out a shaky breath as she spoke, "I'm so wet." She heard a change in his breathing prompting her to open her eyes.
"What do you want?" Klaus whispered a fixed gaze on her as his lips moved, against her leg his words trailing up to her pelvis as he lifted himself up, grinding his hard length over her rotating his hips provocatively.
"I want you," she cried her arms wrapping around his back, her hands running through his hair as she kissed him, hard. Without a single word, his hands crept behind Caroline's back and underneath the soft curve behind her back only to pull her up against his body.
Her head was slightly above his allowing him to kiss in between her collarbone his chest grazing the tips of her breasts as she lightly pressed her hips against his. The sensation she created caused them both to groan as her hands slid down the blanket and grabbed a handful of the comforter to keep herself from losing control.
She had had sex before, made love and she's been touched as he touched her but never had she felt like he made her feel with a word, or a sigh, a look. She never knew she could feel so much with just a touch, without sex, here she was lying in bed about to let go and he wasn't even inside of her yet.
Caroline closed her eyes as she felt him move once more over her legs, and slide inside of her, Klaus swallowed her moan as his lips caressed her own. Her arms tightened around him as her hips came up to meet him, pulling him more deeply inside of her.
She cried out as Klaus moved inside of her, watching her move beneath him meeting him each time letting him fill her again and again, until all the empty places were gone. He could feel the way his touch changed her reactions with each tilt and arch.
He heard it in her voice subtly at first but as his thrust continued his mouth twisted his eyes squinted as he felt her squeezing him. The increased pitch in her voice as she said his name almost breathlessly she was eagerly wrapping her legs tighter around him.
Opening herself up to him, it was all he ever wanted he thought as he splayed his fingers down her back his other hand gripping the back of her neck pulling her back into a passionate kiss. Her fingernails scratched down his back urging him on.
Their lips parted as an animalistic growl left him he leaned his forehead against hers as he pushed himself inside of her harder. His head tilted back watching her enjoying that her moans were because of him.
Caroline was perfect in all aspect, but none more than like this, her cheeks flushed her languid tongue running over his. Her breasts bouncing as he lifted her higher pushing his knees forward so she sat on his lap her teeth nipping at his neck no doubt feeling his rapid pulse.
She was grasping at his shoulders as she lifted her hips his hand helping her along as she kissed his brow and cried his name. At this angle it was different and exhilarating riding him at a hard deep and fast pace. Klaus was he focused on getting her to the end, just when he felt like he couldn't hold out much longer.
Caroline kissed him as she began to feel him twitch inside of her causing her to let out a small moan of excitement as she wrapped her slender arms around his neck. His knuckles ran down the side of her cheek before he bucked his hips upward allowing him to slam harder than he was.
The second he felt her getting close Klaus reached down in between them with his thumb and started to rub her clit in light circles encouragingly. Her whole body tightened around him as she gasped her mouth opening to call out his name another time.
He leaned up as she tilted her chin pressing hard kisses to his mouth thankful Klaus was intent on getting her to her to the end. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as he began to whisper to in her ear how good she felt around him.
Almost immediately she came, her wave of pleasure bringing him to his own release though he still continued to thrust riding out her orgasm. They sat catching their breath clutching to one another like a second skin until they manage to move their sore limbs into a lying position.
Caroline turned over on her back with a satisfied smile, the lingering sensations of the last few hours making her feel more loved than ever. "I don't think I can divorce you after this," she teased him as Klaus pulled her back to his chest on his side. She heard him chuckle before she looked up at him pecking at his lips as she shut her eyes in bliss.
"Don't be ridiculous," he murmured making her open her eyes as he kissed her, "It would never work out," he told her as if it was obvious Caroline reacted with a hit to his chest. "Let me finish." Klaus said drawing his fingers to her cheek looking down at her as she moved on her side to face him directly lying face to face.
"I thought I had," she answered smartly hey eyes twinkling with amusement making Klaus respond with a bite to her lip before he kissed her. Caroline pulled up the sheets covering them both stopping at their necks as Klaus tried to push them back down distracting her with another kiss to her lips.
"Could you just imagine? Us going ahead with the divorce in the middle of you moving in and starting your own career here, on top of being courted by me." He explained, "Then one night after many strawberries and much wine we inevitably fall into bed together. Again." He said in between kisses applied to her chest, neck and face. We would never go through with it."
"Courting me," she chortled, "Why is everything about you going above and beyond to make me fall in love with you? How about you just take me your favorite places and we stop making life changing decisions every six seconds." Klaus came over her as she spoke making her bite her lip to keep from smiling too big.
Klaus thought on her words smiling as he thought of the first place he went when he left home, the perfect place for him to take Caroline. "I love you," he simply said mentally planning how he was going to whisk her away. Though he said it in a way that every person wanted to hear it she stopped biting her lip beaming up at him.
She saw his look but was too tired to analysis it, "I love you," she answered him as she felt her eyes drooping to close as he fell back to his side hugging her closely as they asleep. She felt the moment he fell asleep sensing a calm take over her as he held her knowing even as he slept he would take care of her.
It was days later when Klaus had approached her like a boy who had found a lost puppy and was asking if he could keep it, the sparkle in his eyes could not be contained. Caroline held her breath wondering what he was about to spring on her.
She leaned down with her oven mitts removing the just baked strawberry and goat cheese muffins placing them on the counter to cool. He approached her kissing her cheek as his hand then spinning her around to look at him.
Caroline beamed removing her gloves as Klaus reached closer, "We should pack," he said kissing her lips, "I have a present for you," before he disappeared upstairs with one of the muffins she had just taken out of the oven.
"Bring back that muffin," she shouted after him laughing when she heard him burn himself as he took a bite. "That's what happens," she giggled as she heard him coming back from the staircase. She turned looking at him, muffin in hand and his mouth open, "Do you want me to kiss it and make it better?"
Klaus nodded as she moved closer to him kissing his chin, "Are going to tell me where we are going?" she asked as she kissed along his jaw. He shook his head as his hands met her waist, "Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" she asked again before kissing him fully.
"You can kiss me all you like but you better be packed because we are leaving soon," Klaus said trying to sound suave with a burnt tongue. Caroline's face gleamed with curiosity making the blue of them brighter, "You'll enjoy yourself, I promise." He assured her.
"Can we take the muffins," she asked blinking playfully at him, "Please," he nodded taking a piece off of the top of his muffin offering it to her. "Mmmm," she said in delight as he popped it into her mouth the butter melting on her tongue.
Caroline felt like a child seeing the moon and the stars in the sky for the first time as she looked out into the skyline innumerable little lights colliding with the earth's buildings. She let out a breath as she held on to the sliding door of their room shutting it closed.
"Where is he?" she wondered aloud as Klaus rarely left her alone in a foreign city, or any city for that matter even if she knew more languages than he did, mind you, this evening however he had been gone for over an hour.
After her shower she received a knock at the door thinking it was a bit odd her husband would know when he had the key she approached the door cautiously. Clutching her robe close she peeked into the eye hole finding a bell boy on the other end.
She opened the door and was quickly greeted and presented with a note card from none other than Klaus himself, "Think of the devil and he will rise," she thought as she shut the door behind her. She deftly opened the envelope as she stripped off her robe.
As she read what it said she dressed simply in a pink printed dress and flats, Caroline could actually hear silence a sound she didn't enjoy. She wondered where her husband had sneaked off to when she heard it, the swipe of a key card on the door followed by a small click allowing her visitor entry.
She tilted her head looking back, "You know when I asked you to take me to a place special to you I didn't mean Paris." Caroline said as Klaus approached her hugging her from behind making her giddy with the glint in his eyes.
"Well my favorite place isn't exactly Paris, but it is in walking distance now that we are here," he said kissing her cheek. "I'm going to need you to wear this Love," Klaus said coming from behind her wrapping his arms around her waist as she reached for the black scrap of fabric in his hand.
"You want me to wear it now," she asked arching her neck to look at him devilishly her look matching his before he turned away. "In the bedroom or to go out," Caroline teased him noticing his reddening cheeks as he bit his lips to keep himself from saying something no doubt.
"Preferably both," Klaus supplied finally, as she turned in his arms kissing his lips before he pulled away his hand lingering on hers. Caroline followed behind him blindfold in hand before he escorted her to the door of the hotel. "I meant it, put it on or we're staying in tonight and you won't get to see my favorite place."
"Oh such a punishment," Caroline whined as she let herself be whisked down the hall hearing the door click shut behind them. "You did bring the key right," she asked as the elevator doors opened for them laughing as Klaus searched his pockets.
"Found it," he murmured as she rushed him, kissing him uncaring of the key or anything just so happy she was here with the man she loved. That she was loved. A year ago she would never have believed she could even be this happy but Klaus changed that for her.
Klaus was practically humming with anticipation as they took a small stroll taking in the lights, the smells, and the feelings that enveloped them. Klaus showed her around the artists corner where he took in a summer when he was younger selling his work to tourists living day to day.
She smiled enjoying herself in his company, "I love it," she beamed stopping as he offered her a seat at a bench to rest. She nodded accepting noticing how far she was from the place she would love to visit for the first time with her love.
He sat beside her his arm going around her arm allowing her to move in closer resting her head on his chest. "Just for a moment before I take you somewhere else," he supplied whispering into her hair his eyes on the half full moon looking down at the lovers.
Caroline grinned to herself as she held on to his hand her blindfold now safely attached across her eyes as she felt the floor beneath her move. Klaus whispered everything was fine in her ear before she had a chance to say anything at all.
"I'm not scared," she whined annoyed even though he was just trying to comfort her thankful he turned playful rather than annoyed.
"Liar," he murmured smiling against her ear.
"I'm not," Caroline huffed rubbing the side of her neck nervously, "I just have a thing about heights," she admitted to Klaus.
"Caroline I've seen you in ridiculously tall heels, you're not afraid of heights," he recalled chuckling as he kissed down her neck uncaring that they were being watched, distracting her.
"That's different," she insisted with a slight moan as she felt his teeth graze her pulse point, "When I walk I'm still on solid ground," she reminded him matter of factly.
"We're almost there, unless you want to go back down and miss it," Klaus taunted making her shake her head.
"I want to see," she insisted with a cut nod.
"We're here," he told her as she heard a metal door slide open brisk air hitting her uncovered face making her wish he would pull off the blindfold already.
"Can I see," she asked giddily.
"Just a moment Love," he said enjoying her squirming she was certainly a sight under the city lights he thought as he slowly removed the fabric from her eyes allowing her to see as he did.
She gasped, "I love it," she exclaimed turning to look at him so fast she almost slipped her hands catching the lapels of his coat. "It's beautiful," she sighed trusting herself to look back laughing at herself for thinking their hotel room view had anything on what she was seeing now.
"Would it be too cliché if I said you were beautiful right now," he asked holding her hand as they stood side by side.
"Yes," she answered looking away.
"You're beautiful," he said anyway making her laugh before he kissed her sweetly.
"Would you marry me, again?" Caroline asked surprising him as his lips pulled back before they reached the very edge of the fence inside the Eiffel tower right at the very tip they were allowed to be in.
"I promise to remember you this time, and to kiss you every single day, and make sure you know that you are loved. Even when you get in those terrible moods," Caroline felt his lips melt to hers softly.
"Yes," he sighed as she held on to him, "Tell me something though," he said as he brushed the small fly always from her face cradling her. "Would you take me some place you love to marry me again," he asked, "I'd love to see this little town of yours."
"You want to go to Mystic Falls?" she asked incredulously jumping up to kiss him again, when he smiled grandly to her. "Oh we could get married in the town square and since it's close to winter we'll be just in time for the fall festival." Caroline said getting carried away with excitement.
"Oh and ice cream by the fireplace on a cold day," she exclaimed as Klaus gave her an odd look, "Don't judge, it's amazing." She said admonishing him. "We could go to the falls, and make out point, oh no, baby pictures and bunt cakes. We're not going."
"Oh yes we are," Klaus said with a grin, "That means high school photos my cheer captain," Klaus said wickedly as she hit his chest. "I'm kidding, I just want to see what are children will look like," he said softly tugging her to him brushing his lips over hers.
It was a long trip back home especially for Caroline though she tried not to show it, the last few months were beginning to catch up with her. While she was happy Klaus remembered her and they seemed to be falling into a happy ending something was gnawing at her.
Especially now as she watched Klaus sleep beside her on the plane squinting so she wouldn't look out the window and feel the need to vomit once again. She half-smiled seeing his boyish face relaxed at her side before remembering his cologne was the reason she had felt the need to push her breakfast out the way it came in.
She sat back wondering just how much longer this flight was going to take because she couldn't recall ever feeling so sick. She liked to blame the fish she ordered before take-off but poor Nemo was no longer in her stomach.
Klaus ordered her a tea to help but the nausea didn't pass in the slightest as they settled in for the night, he held her closely hoping to soothe her to sleep but fell asleep long before she did. She could laugh if she felt any better.
She put on a brave face during the landing but Klaus caught her fidgeting and held her hand during the landing asking if she was fine. She nodded shutting her eyes wondering what was wrong with her; maybe it had been too long since she was on a plane.
They still had another hour to travel before they would make it to Mystic Falls right in the middle of brunch which got her thinking about waffles. Her stomach grumbled loudly as Klaus picked up their carry-ons before they exited the plane.
After the car rental was settled Caroline sat happily in the driver seat ginning at how alarmed Klaus looked at her driving on the normal side of the road to her. She imagined that's what her expression was every so often when Klaus drove them to get groceries or go to work.
"Almost there," she told him leaning over the side of her seat, "There's still time to go back," she added with an easy smile.
He shook his head at her, "Why? Did you miss a turn?" he teased as they sped down the singular road ahead with city marker passing him in a blur.
The couple was surprised to find that instead of coming home to her mother's house empty it was lit and the drive full of vehicles. Klaus got out first coming around to open her door as she undid her seat belt, "So much for being alone," he whispered mischievously as she got out shutting the car door.
"I'm sure we'll find a moment," she assured him as she thought of the call she had made from the plane when she couldn't sleep. Hopefully what she was thinking was true, it would certainly put her mind at ease if not her persistent stomach and its need to be empty.
Upon entering they were surrounded by Caroline's oldest acquaintances hugging each one while introducing her new husband. Klaus drew stares, and side eyes, but mostly smiles and compliments which calmed Caroline.
The couple was showered with gifts and Klaus was happy to find that the appetizers from Caroline's rehearsal dinner were there as he had enjoyed them before. He popped a few in his mouth before Caroline found him again after leaving him to banter with her uncle.
Caroline saw an opportunity and took it running for Elena and bonnie as soon as she caught eye of them leaving Klaus to fend for himself with her uncle. She could almost laugh if she wasn't so nervous and gulping down seltzer water by the bottle this evening.
"It's already in there you just have to go," Elena said pointing with her head behind her at the hallway leading away from the party. Bonnie and Elena held each other as Caroline gave Klaus one last look before disappearing.
She bit at the ends of her nails something she hadn't done since she learned proper cuticle care thinking about the future seemed to outweigh the seven layers she had eaten away at on her nails. Ten more seconds and she could maybe stop thinking about bad guys falling off buildings and more about how to move forward.
With a deep breath Caroline stepped back inside the center of the party pretending she had missed the stares of her two closest friends. She spotted her husband tossing back a drink with one of her cousins as she grabbed a small glass of ginger ale.
"Champagne," he asked appearing from the bar at her side Caroline smiled softly but declined, Klaus was confused, that was there thing. They drank and side-eyed people at the parties they were invited to. "Are you alright?" he asked.
"I'm incredible," she whispered to him with a big grin making him curious, "I'll tell you after," she said nervously noticing her mother's prying eyes. Klaus nodded before taking a sip and placing it on the table behind him grabbing for her hand and leading her from the crowded room.
"Where are we going," Caroline asked as she followed him willingly knowing they were headed towards where they had just been re-married hours ago. Their decorations were still up the flower aroma catching in the wind.
"It's after," Klaus said leaning her against one of the pavilions sides pressing himself closer to her, "Tell me what you're hiding," he entreated with a light kiss. His hands running over her back to her hips over the fabric of her wedding dress his hand sliding across the barely noticeable bump of her stomach.
