I know I promised an update to other one-shots in here as well as the next chapter for Above All Else, but I am having a hard time putting together how I want things to go. I know what I want to have happen but moving it from my brain to the keyboard is causing me problems. This was a little exercise for me to work those issues away. Hmm…wait…that sounds wrong considering that this will contain a small amount of smut. Oh well. Whatever. LOL
Thank you all for all the reviews on my previous one-shots! I really am trying to get the second parts done for the ones that you all have asked for! I am just so swamped with life and the seven one-shots for AU Week coming up soon. THANK YOU THOUGH! You asking for more makes me all warm on my insides! ;)

Accidental voyeurism.
AH. Caroline and Tyler recently broke up. Established Klaroline friendship. Things have been complicated after they had a one night stand.
.
.
.
Klaus sighed as he watched the numbers change in the elevator on his way to Caroline's office. He tried not to fidget with all the anxious energy he had bottled up inside. It had been over a week now since he had last spoke to or seen her. As much as he knew Caroline hated to be cornered, she was leaving him very little choice.
They were friends for years now, much to Tyler and Klaus's displeasure. Klaus had wanted her since they met in an art history class while they attended college. The two had become fast friends, with him making plans to upgrade their status. But before he could work up the nerve to ask her out, after months of trying to show her he wasn't the womanizing asshat she deemed him to be, he found he had missed his chance. That was when Tyler came into the picture.
That was almost four years ago now.
Back then he had thought Tyler would be nothing but a phase so he had continued his plan of proving to Caroline just how good of a man he could be.
Then they moved in together.
He turned back to drinking his sorrows away and sleeping with a random woman nearly every night.
Things had been a little rocky in their friendship ever since. Him secretly in love with her, Tyler jealous of their friendship left Caroline stuck in the middle.
That was why last week came as a shock to him. Caroline had shown up at the bar where he was, made the woman he was…entertaining for the evening leave, and before he could berate her for it she had flown into a verbal onslaught of what had been happening to her over the past two week.
Between her crying, ranting and drinking he caught onto the words, broken up and moved out. Apparently Tyler had offered her an ultimatum, him or the friend she was so obviously in love with and who was so obviously in love with her. She had made it clear that those were Tyler's words not hers. And apparently Tyler had forgotten the fact that Caroline did not like to be cornered.
Klaus had received the shock of his life that night; Caroline had chosen Him over Tyler. After a few questioning comments of how ridiculous that was from Caroline, a couple bashful smiles from Klaus and way too many drinks later, they were then naked and writhing together in his apartment.
He had woke up the next morning only to find her gone and his calls to her going unanswered.
And now that brought him here. Watching the doors of the elevator open to show the hall that led passed her receptionist's desk and then around the corner to her office.
Stealing his nerves Klaus left the elevator. As he closed in on the receptionist he placed his finger to his lips. He lowered his finger with a smirk feeling relief when she conspired with him and did not buzz Caroline to warn her of his impending arrival.
With a quick brisk knock he cracked the door open to see Caroline standing with her back to the door as she shuffled through paperwork on her desk.
"Rachel, I told you I didn't want to be disturbed."
Klaus stepped into the room, closing the door behind him, "Well then, it's a good thing I am not Rachel then isn't it Love?"
Caroline gasped, dropping the papers with shaking hands before spinning around. She hoped her face didn't show her anxiety at seeing him or the guilt she felt at avoiding him this past week after the event that shall not be named. "Klaus? What…" She cleared her throat as her voice came out all high and squeaky, squaring her shoulders she tried again, "What are you doing here?"
Klaus lifted an eyebrow at her as if to tell her, you are kidding me right?
Caroline scoffed, "Look I don't have time for this right now. I have a deadline to meet with the Walsh account. Their housewarming party is in less than a month and the new Mrs. Walsh changed her color schemes for two of the six remodeled guest bedrooms. So, as nice as it is to see you, you know your way out." She nodded her head firmly before turning back to her paperwork.
Klaus licked his lips in indecision. As his eyes scanned over her lovely backside he realized he had nothing left to lose. She had already begun to pull away from him, so if this whole endeavor was to go south, he might as well go down in a blaze of glory.
Strutting his way to her he watched her shoulders go ridged as he whispered in her ear from behind, "Nice to see you as well Caroline, though I believe it is you who knows the ways out so much better than I."
Caroline spun around to face him folding her arms across her chest with an indignant huff, "What are you going on about now Klaus?"
"I think you know quite well what I am going on about Caroline." He smirked as a blush began staining her cheeks.
"I don't know what you mean." She tried to deflect him, wishing he would just leave. She so did not want to get into this.
Klaus studied her face, seeing she was about to pull away from him and shut this whole thing down. He reached forward grabbing her hand and cupping it within his own. Staring down at her hand encased in his, he whispered, "I woke up to find you gone. I've called, send text messages, emails and received no response from you. For a single second I tried to stop thinking about you," His impassioned eyes looked up to lock with hers, "But I can't."
Seeing where with was going, and feeling terrified of it, Caroline tried to pull away, "Klaus, don't."
Klaus held her hand tightly not allowing her to move away, "Don't what Caroline? Tell you how much I want you? How much I know you want me as well? We would be so great together Sweetheart. Think of it, we have been friends for so long that we know each other's habits so well already. Meaning that we can skip that awkward stage everyone dreads in a new relationship. Why won't you just give us a chance?"
His soothing voice had her falling into the picture his words painted before the reasons behind why she didn't want to do this reared their ugly heads, "Yeah, we know each other so well. If this doesn't work out Klaus we won't even have our friendship left. I can't do that! I can't not have you in my life."
Klaus took a step closer to her, his chest rubbing against hers, "And just why is that Caroline? What do you feel for me that has you so terrified?"
Caroline's eyes widened as she stuttered, "I…I care for you…I mean I lo…" Panic began to set in as she almost spilled her deepest secret that she had carried since the moment she realized he wasn't who she thought he was, "No. No. We're friends Klaus. If this didn't work out, it would kill me to lose you. So we can't be more than what we are."
Klaus let go of her hand to grip her around the waist as he cupped her beautiful face, sensually whispering, "Oh but we can Caroline."
Caroline's breath hitched as he moved in slowly, giving her the chance to stop him. The closer his sinful lips came to hers the more she realized she couldn't fight this and leaned in to meet him halfway, pulling a surprised but contented groan from Klaus.
Their arms wrapped around each other as their lips moved in sync. Bodies pressed together tightly as their heads tilted to the side, opening their mouths to deepen the kiss.
Caroline pulled back to catch her breath, gripping the back of Klaus's head, her fingers tangled in his hair, as his lips moved to pay homage to her slender neck.
Arching her body into his she moaned at the arousal he triggered in her from just a few well-placed kisses, her lower half rubbing deliciously against his hardened shaft.
Klaus pulled his lips away from hers with a low groan at the contact, their harsh breath clashed together as their lust filled eyes drank the other in.
Reading the want in her eyes and not wanting to give her the time to change her mind, Klaus gripped her hips, lifting her onto her desk.
Caroline knew she should do something about the fact she was sitting on the Walsh paperwork but she couldn't find the will to care as Klaus's lips pressed against hers once again, his tongue tangling with her own as his hands slithered up her bare legs.
She groaned into his mouth, pulling him closer as his hands made their way under her skirt and up to the tops of her panties. Without thinking her body took over, lifting her hips to give him to room to remove them. She bit her lower lip as he pulled back, scorching her with his eyes as he slid her panties off with ease.
After dropping her panties forgotten to the desk beside her, Klaus slid his hands back under her skirt, cupping her bottom and yanking her into his hardened shaft pulling an echoing groan from both of them.
Klaus rolled his hips between her thighs causing Caroline's head to tilt back, his name spilling from her lips at the friction his jean covered erection gave her bare soaking core.
He ran his lips and tongue up the side of her neck to her ear, his harsh hot breath bringing goosebumps to her flesh as he huskily whispered to her, "Tell me you don't want this and I'll stop."
Klaus softly dragged his face against hers, his stubble scratching her skin deliciously; bring thoughts of the other areas on her body that would thoroughly enjoy such a feeling. His piercing eyes gazed into her lustful blue ones, "Tell me you can't see how perfect we are together and I'll walk away." He held a small feeling of hope as he felt her unconsciously tighten her grip on him.
Caroline could see the reluctant sincerity pouring out of his eyes along with the fear that she would ask him to leave. Her mind raced a mile a minute; this was Klaus, her friend. She didn't want to lose him over what could turn out to be nothing more than a passing fancy to him. Then again this was Klaus, the man who in one night alone made her feel things she never thought possible. She knew if she didn't make up her mind now she ran the risk of losing him forever. And that was not something she ever wanted to experience, a Klaus-less life. Realizing what she had to do, she licked her lips before opening her mouth to answer him.
Instead of the words Klaus was anxiously waiting to hear, a buzzing noise filled the room.
"Miss. Forbes, I'm sorry. I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen." Rachel's frantic voice echoed in the room.
Caroline gently pushed Klaus away from her and dashed around her desk, pressing down the button on the intercom, "What? Who?"
"Tyler." Caroline rolled her eyes at Klaus's smug smirk at the way Rachel spat his name out. "He is on his way back to your office right now."
"Okay, thanks." Caroline released the button, running her fingers through her hair frantically.
Seeing her beginning to freak out, Klaus scooped up her panties while she was distracted placing them into his pocket.
"Shit. Shit. Shit!"
Klaus rounded the desk, placing his hands on her upper arms, "Caroline calm down. It's only me in here, and it's only Tyler coming in."
Caroline scoffed knocking his hands away, "Yes, it's only you and Tyler." She spat with a frustrated energy, "The same Tyler that accused us of having an affair after I refused to give you up." Caroline caught the hurt that Klaus was trying to hide from her and calmed herself down slightly, "Look, I just don't need or want any more drama with him okay? And if he sees you in here that's all that will happen."
"Well what I am supposed to do Caroline? I can't leave through the door without passing him in the hall." He snipped sarcastically before chucking waving his hand towards her desk, "What would you have me do? Hide under the desk?"
Caroline's eyes lit up and before Klaus could sputter out a word in protest she had her desk chair pulled out and shoved him underneath her desk.
Caroline had just seated herself in her chair hoping to not only put up a cold impersonal front, but to also keep Tyler away from her side of the desk. She never felt more thankful then she did right at that moment that she had chosen a huge desk with a full wooden front. Of course at the time she had only seen the value of being able to remove her shoes without anyone knowing, not hiding a grown man underneath to avoid an unnecessary argument with her ex.
She had just managed to straighten out her papers making herself look busy as Tyler burst through the door. Lifting her head from the paperwork she leveled him with a hard detached gaze hoping he wouldn't be able to tell she was hiding something, "Tyler. What are you doing here? I thought we said all that needed said two weeks ago."
Tyler closed the door behind him running his fingers through his hair, "Look Care. I know you might not want to see me," He chose to ignore her muttered comment of, you got that right, "But I've been thinking and I think I made a mistake. I mean asking you to give up someone who has been a friend to you for so long was out of line. Especially considering I only did it because I was jealous."
Caroline tapped her pencil on the top of the desk, "Well congratulations, you finally saw what I was telling you all along. But that doesn't mean that was our only issue Tyler."
Tyler took a step closer to her desk, "I know and I want to try and work them out. I accused you of doing things that I shouldn't have."
"Things I never did you mean? I am not nor have I ever been a cheater Tyler. You should have known me better than that." She seen him smile slightly, taking her comment as permission to move closer. Quickly holding her hand up to stop him from coming any closer she continued just as emotionless, "This doesn't change anything between us Tyler. It's still over."
Under the desk Klaus gritted his teeth together letting a growl slip through in vexation as Tyler started spouting out verbal garbage about how the two of them should try again. Caroline must have heard him since she pushed at him with her foot to tell him to stay quiet. He was ready to end this charade and come out of hiding when he looked up and caught sight of her slightly opened legs. A wicked smirk curved his lips as he remembered he still had her panties in his pocket.
Caroline was trying to refrain from rolling her eyes at Tyler's long drawn out explanations on why he thought they should get back together when she felt hands running up the inside of her legs only stopping once they parted her thighs. She felt her face grow hot with the knowledge that there was Tyler, pacing and rambling on not five feet away from her while Klaus was under her desk, parting her thighs and looking at her still wet naked core.
She sucked in a quiet breath as she felt him spread her lower lips open, his hot breath ghosting over her core made her shift her hips in need. Klaus pressed against her just a touch harder, as if to tell her to stay still. Trying to maintain her composer she inhaled a calming breath and settled her body down, letting her body relax back into her chair while her mind was screaming in question of why she was letting this happen.
She felt his stubble scratching against her inner thighs, just as she had envisioned earlier, before his tongue touched her giving a tentative lick along her slit up to her throbbing clit. Her stomach muscles clenched at the feel of his hot tongue sliding along her outer core.
Deciding not to tease her, Klaus wrapped his lips around her clit sucking it harshly as his tongue wickedly flicked over it making her thighs shake at the pleasure it brought her.
Caroline bit down on her lower lip, using all of her concentration to contain her moans of satisfaction and pleasure. She did fine until she felt his hand shift suddenly as he pushed two fingers into her body, crooking his fingers to rub against her sweet spot.
The torturous suction of his lips, the wicked movements of his tongue combined with the constant curling of his fingers had her face flushing and the pencil snapping in her hand as she orgasmed, biting her lip so hard she drew blood. Klaus's quiet groan vibrated against her sending delicious sparks rough her as she twitched from the aftershocks of the intense pleasure her gave her.
As she came to, she somehow found enough power over herself to clear her throat to try and cover up what had just occurred. Her mind began functioning once more and she was sure that Tyler had caught onto what was happening right there in front of him by the look on his face.
Tyler cringed as he looked at her for the first time since he began his speech about them getting back together. Seeing the look on her face he sighed, "Okay Care. I get it, you're angry. I guess I just wanted to know I tried everything I could, that I said everything I needed to say to you so you would be sure about your decision." He hesitantly looked at her, "Do you think we still have a chance?"
All her attention had been so focused on what Klaus was doing to her under her desk, that Caroline had no idea what he had been saying. All she did know was she was beyond relieved that it seemed as though he had no clue what had just happened not five feet in front of him. She looked at him sternly, "No Tyler, we don't and I think you should leave now." She watched as he opened his mouth no doubt to try again but she swiftly shook her head, "Just go Tyler."
With a simple nod of his head and a dejected sigh he turned and left her office closing the door behind him.
Caroline sat still for a few minutes to catch her breath while she waited for Rachel to tell her Tyler had left. Once the message came through, she pulled back from her desk and jumped out of the chair.
Klaus stood, stretching his body after being cramped under the desk for so long with a giant smug smirk on his face.
Caroline smacked his chest, "I can't believe you did that! With Tyler right there in the room!"
Klaus chuckled at her outrage, "Well you didn't exactly stop me now did you Caroline?"
Caroline blushed, her mouth floundering open and closed knowing she couldn't deny that.
"It's a travesty really." Klaus commented as he wiped the remaining evidence of her arousal from his face with a handkerchief.
"What is?" Caroline asked a little breathlessly as she adjusted her skirt back into place trying to ignore his casual tone, knowing it meant he was about to say something that would either make her laugh or piss her off.
"That after all the time that bloke had the pleasure of being with you, he still cannot tell your I'm-so-angry-I-might-explode face from your I'm-coming-from-an-intense-orgasm face." Klaus shook his head in mock despair, tsking, "Such a travesty indeed." Placing the handkerchief back into his inside jacket pocket his eyes flicked back to her with a smirk.
Caroline's eyes widened comically, a small part of her wanted to defend Tyler but then reality set in, she never really did have an orgasm like the ones this man gave her when she was with Tyler. Or with anyone at all for that matter her mind grumbled. So instead she let her laughter ring out, bringing a pleased happy grin to Klaus's face.
Klaus pulled her into his arms, cutting off her laughter by pressing his lips to hers. His lower half pushed against her, letting her feel his still prominent arousal as their lips moved slowly together.
Caroline's hand left the side of his face to slowly trail down to his chest circling her fingers over where she knew his tattoo resided. Releasing his lips with a sigh, she flicked her eyes up at him asking flirtatiously, "Am I worth the wait?"
Klaus ran his hands down her sides to her hips, pulling her gently against him as he told her passionately, "You are worth everything Caroline."
"Good." She smirked before pulling away from him completely. Giggling under her breath at his stunned confused face she went back to her chair and sat down going back to her paperwork.
"I…what…Caroline?" Klaus sputtered embarrassingly.
"I still have a deadline Klaus." She said before lifting her gaze to him with a soft smile, "But if you want to, you can pick me up tonight. Say eight o'clock?"
Klaus grinned happily with the knowledge that she wasn't brushing him off. He nodded his head in agreement, "Here or your place?"
"My place. I'll text you my new address."
Klaus picked up her hand and lifted it to his mouth placing a soft kiss on her knuckles while looking at her tenderly, "Until then Love."
Caroline watched him walk out the door, tilting her head and licking her lips at the way his jeans fit him so perfectly with a smile. She couldn't help but think maybe it wouldn't be so bad giving in to what she felt for him. Maybe, just maybe, they had a chance at making this work.
