Chapter 23: Desperately

"To Klaus and his bride, may you be blessed with a marriage filled with love, longevity and lots of pups in the future."

When the toast is over I find myself getting caught up in denim blue eyes, that hold so much depth behind them. I could blame this moment on a lot of things but I knew deep down inside this moment was brought on by Klaus. The same man that always had his hand on me, or his arm wrapped around me whenever I was close.

I don't how long we sat looking at each other, but I did know the heat of his stare was so intense that I had to look elsewhere. Klaus had this habit of watching my every move as if he was studying me. Sometimes he looked at me like he couldn't figure me out. Other times he looked at me like he knew me deep down to the core. It wasn't solely based on our sexual prowess, it was more like he got me, he understood me inside out. Normally that would make me run away, or push him away but I couldn't. Not after all this.

As if he's reading my mind, Klaus soon motions for me to stand with him following close behind. He melds his warm body to mine causing my magic to simmer beneath my skin. A mere simple touch has me buzzing, and so aware of everything around me, but mostly Klaus.

"Well, It's been fun" Klaus says as he stands behind me chin resting on my shoulder. "Smooth, I thank you for that kind toast." He says offering his friend a nod. He fights to get his words out as Bonnie is positively enchanting. He is as aware as he was of her that first time as he is now.

He swallows hard."But I think now, Bonnie and I are going to do what lovers do best." He says his voice coming out husky at his suggestive words.

Smooth lets out a loud whistle, while Summer blanches at his words. Ansel has come out of his quarters and watches the two of us with keen interest as is everyone else. All eyes are on us watching and waiting for the next move. I turn around and face Klaus my arms wrapped around his neck.

When I face him Klaus has nothing but mischief in his eyes. Klaus loves the attention, he loves to be the talk of the town and while I usually like to fly under the radar, I know that this is important to him. He wouldn't have brought me here if this wasn't important.

"Is that so?" I asked before nibbling on his ear lobe.

His reply is to let out a growl so loud people around us fade away.

"You know I'm good for it, I'll bend you over every surface." He says wolfishly.

Before I get a chance to reply he's smashed his lips onto mine. His kiss is deep and prolonged, message sent.

I rest my hand on his chest easing him away only to have him lick his lips scandalously in response.

Seconds later, we're on the move. Leave it to Klaus to make sure that the two of us bid his friends adieu in the most dramatic fashion of them all.

LB-DS-SS-

Damon and Lucy

"He's in love with her."

Silently he fumed over everything Lucy had said to him. Klaus didn't love Bonnie, he couldn't, it wasn't possible. Bonnie was acting out, rightfully so. Love however, had nothing to do with this mess. And to top it off Lucy all but gave her blessing for Bonnie to run off with Klaus.

To say he was upset was an understatement! What Lucy allowed to happen was not a good thing. Bonnie was gallivanting around with Klaus doing who knows what. If Bonnie was anything like anyone else her age, she would rebel and Klaus was the perfect person to rebel with. Klaus would take advantage of the situation and further lure Bonnie away from where she needed to be.

"You got something to say or are you going to keep walking back and forth like a chicken?" Lucy called causing him to look over at her ever so slowly.

A grimace stretched across his face. "Out of all the irresponsible things to ever do you let her go with him! He ruins everything he touches!" He all but shouts.

Lucy looks unfazed by his outburst which make fury burn in his veins.

With a yawn she speaks. "I actually packed her bag and it's filled with expensive lingerie."

He bristles at her words.

"And then your sprout out about him loving her?" He says alarmed. "Did he or the rest of his family compel you into losing your mind?"

Lucy blinks. "You can be as mad as you want to, but it doesn't change the fact, that he's in love with her." She then looks him up and down. "Or the fact that they are alone and very much together." She says deciding to rip the band aid off now. The quicker he realized what indeed was going on the easier it would be to work together in the future.

He throws his hands up in the air. "Do you hear yourself, he and his family will ruin her, like Elijah and Kol ruined you," He says pointedly. "Much like Klaus ruined Bree." Pause "Or, have you forgotten the destruction that family causes everyone within a five-mile radius of them?"

Lucy fixes him with a look. "This is killing you isn't it, knowing he is everything to her you never were... that you never tried to be." She questions all the while studying him. She had never seen Damon Salvatore quite undone but this, the knowledge that he lost his chance yet again at happiness, it chilled him to the bone.

She almost felt sorry for him, almost. However it was a fleeting type of feeling.

She leveled him with a look."You almost ruined Bonnie," Pause. "You and your brother. And he picked her up." She says poking him in the chest. "Deal with it, or don't. I don't really care." She says hopping off the stool. "I'm outta here. I'm back home, I look as good as ever and I think it's time Marcel, Rebekah and I go to a good bar, maybe even go see Bree."

He swallows hard as her previous words ring in his ears. "You're delusional Lucy." He says harshly. "The only thing I did wrong was decide to step up to the plate last minute." He tilts his head to the side and regards her. "But you- you let your delusions muddy your mind because the big bad wolf, helped you conceive the way Elijah couldn't." He said with a sneer.

At his words he heard her suck in another breath. He may have taken it too far, but Lucy had started this mess, he just ended it. By the look on his mothers face he knew, that perhaps mentioning Lucy and her past with the Mikaelson family was not a good idea, he had slung mud her way. A chance look at Stefan even proved that his unstable brother was disgusted with his words as well. Well, sometimes the truth hurt.

He watched as Lucy walked back to him and slapped him so hard he was sure she broke his jaw. It occurred to him that he may have deserved it. he was being a bastard for mentioning the baby, but Bonnie was alone with Klaus and that didn't sit well with him.

"I see that you seem to get joy out of bringing up the one thing that meant the world to me." She says eyes glistening. "My baby didn't make it." She says wiping her face. "And on top of that I lost the man I loved to grief." She says angry. "Elijah is lost to grief." She says quietly. "The man responsible for all of this is still walking around this time imbedding himself into the life of my cousin and you just can't stop throwing it all in my face."

He couldn't quite look her in the eyes, the pain she radiated was so much.

"You fail to mention Klaus, and how traitorous he was to you and your baby." He reminds because Klaus is the problem. Everything he did from toying with Stefan, scaring Elena and even flirting with Caroline, was the problem. The Mikaelson family had done nothing but wreck havoc on everyone.

She chuckles though its filled with pain. "Klaus, did Elijah and I a favor. Elijah wanted our baby to have some characteristics of his family, and mine. Klaus was trying to help us." She informed him.

He scoffed. "And look where it all got you-they all turned their back on you."

She glared his way. "I don't have to explain myself nor my situation to you." She says heatedly.

She takes a step back only to think better of it. "However, You want to talk about ruining people. Lets go down the Salvatore laundry list. You killed Bree and Lexie, though Bree saw you coming a mile away so she protected herself. You and your whiny brother chased your fair Elena till the end of earth and look what happened to her?" She bit her lip so hard it drew blood.

The silence stretched on till she rectified it.

Her eyes lit up at her next words. Damon knew how she played, an eye for an eye was always her game. "She chose death over the two of you." She says pulling away from him. He wanted a fight, she'd fight till he had nothing left.

She grinned again. "You're a let down and everyone knows it. You walk around like your Katherine in boy form, but you don't have the flare, style or guts to be anything more than a watered down version of his sire."

Victoria steps in now, her hand resting on the back of the other witch. "Lucy."

"No!" Lucy says rolling her shoulder. "You and your brother ruin each others lives every couple of years!' She says her voice getting louder.

Stefan who had been silent for long soon speaks. "I don't think he meant to go that far." He says almost somberly. He remembered holding Lucy after everything till she couldn't cry anymore. Damon had gone in search of a fight, wanting to avenge Lucy and fight with Kol. Of course, Kol had barely put up a fight and Lucy was still broken as ever. The rest of the Mikaelson family had soon scattered. They came back a while back and once again left only to return when Bonnie and Klaus came to M.F.

She turns around to eye the younger Salvatore. "Says the younger Salvatore who literally ripped people apart in his heyday." She reminds everyone. "You're a blood addict who cannot control himself." She pouts for a moment. "Poor baby."

Across the room he catches eyes with Stefan. He forgot how vicious Lucy was when she was hurt. Although her words hurt, he understood it.

He felt horrible for bringing all this stuff back to the surface for everyone. Lucy was barely standing, her grief was starting to take over. But ever the fighter she still stood toe to toe with him and his brother. "Luce, I'm sorry." He says suddenly ashamed. This was his friend, and he didn't have many friends.

Her head snapped in his direction, a sneer on her lips. "I don't accept your apology Damon!" She says bitterly. "Just like Bonnie refused to accept your apology." She sing songed.

She then turns to Stefan. "And much like Sheila refused your apology."

Stefan shifted from one foot to the other. The whole thing with Sheila was still a sore subject.

"You know what the difference between you two and the Mikaelsons is?" She says to the silent room.

She stands in the middle of the kitchen waiting."Do you, because I can tell you from personal experience." She says eyes glittering.

"What?" He asked finally.

"They own who they are and what they do." She says quietly. "While the two of you conveniently forget about all the hurt you've caused." She looks between the brothers. "And that's what makes you far worse than they can ever be."

And with that she walked out the Salvatore home the same way she came.

Bonnie and Klaus

After our dramatic exit, I thought Klaus would rush us back to where we were staying. In fact I had envisioned it every time I blinked. The visions of the two of us was so powerful, so and so vivid that I felt myself flush at the mere prospect. I could practically smell our mingled scents together. My tongue felt like I had run it over him so many times that his taste was tattooed to my tongue. But what got me most was the sounds, it was like a symphony.

"Come now love." Klaus calls after waving the guards away.

"Where are we going?" I ask as Klaus envelops my small hand in his much larger hand.

He bites back a grin, because Bonnie was one of the most impatient people he had ever met.

"Impatient as always." He says leaning to kiss the side of her mouth. "One day, I'll teach you how to savor, every touch, every taste, every morsel..." Pause. "Everything about life." He says passionately.

"And when will this lesson start?"

He only grins in response.

Two can play that game. "You're deflecting." I lean up and kiss his adams apple. "You wanna try again?" I ask expectantly.

Instead of talking he places his lips on mine in a dizzying kiss. It only takes seconds before he's seeking more of me. His tongue is a brash as he is and sets out to remind me of it's greatness.

"Now love, are you ready for me to walk you home." Klaus calls eyes sparkling with delight.

His words cause me to get a hold of my raging hormones. "Home?" I echo surprised by his words. At first glance he looks almost sheepish, nervous even. I reach out and rub my thumb under his bottom lip causing his eyes to flash. Again he surprises me by kissing my thumb.

He licks his lips all the while baring down on her. "Home." He says with finality. What he had in store for her, she'd never forget. This place, this moment it was a turning point. He was positive of it.

He had hoped after this trip. They could return here in the coming years. Perhaps, they might have a gaggle of pups like Smooth had insisted. He would love that– to have little ones running around that were equally part, he and Bonnie. He could almost imagine it, now, the two of them with three kids. Sunday mornings when they awake to find the children nestled closed to them. He could hear the laughter, and the tears. Most of all he could feel the love, the love that grew each and every day.

Day Dream

The children had been fed, bathed and set to their rooms, now it was just the two of them..well three of them now– and in this moment he still couldn't keep his eyes off his wife. Her long hair was wrapped in a silk scarf, while his old button down adorned her glowing growing body. She had on knee high tube socks because her feet were always cold when she was pregnant and she was taking his breath away.

"Dude your starring again." Bonnie calls, causing a slow smile to form on his lips.

He takes the measured steps to bring himself as close as her baby bump would allow. His hand covers her belly as his child kicks at the mere touch. "Maybe, just maybe I wasn't look at you and your vain self," He says causing her heart shape mouth to hitch up. "Maybe I was looking at my child."

She grins then and puts her arms around his neck. "Sure you were." A chaste kiss is pressed to his lips before she removes herself all together.

His eyes watch as she slides into the king bed. He soon follows her and once in bed brings her close to him. Her scent even now still intoxicates him. It never gets old, being with her, still feels so new. He realizes that he'll always love her, he'll always be in love with her. And that doesn't cripple him like it may have done earlier, now its something he cherishes.

With her laying on his chest her fingers sliding up and down his chest, his hand splayed across her back, it's the perfect scenario.

"How long do you think we have till your children demand attention?" She purrs causing him to chuckle. The children were much like him in the fact that they basked in the attention of their parents. His twins were the perfect combination of he and Bonnie. And they loved those little ones like no other.

He dares to look at the door. "Since I don't hear too much noise I say five minutes give or take." He says when she looks up at him a smile on her face.

"I love you Niklaus, thanks for not giving up on me." she says bringing her lips to his.

"It's you and me." He says reminding her of the pledge he had made so long ago. He meant it then and he means it now.

Once their lips meet, he waste no time wrapping his arm around her. Soon the sound of tiny footsteps breaks up the moment. He looks over at Bonnie who is smothering a laugh.

Soon enough Amarie and Nicholas are at the door. The twins both hold a stuffed toy in their hands. At four years old the pups were already ruling the house. He eyes them separately, as they begin to charm he and Bonnie. Amarie his fearless girl who looked just like her mother with cinnamon spiced skin and blue eyes like his and a temper that rivaled his own. She's sure to give him grey hair once she's gotten older. He then looks to his son. Nicholas looks more like him with forest green eyes, cinnamon spiced skin and the personality of Bonnie. His children are the best of him. The best of them, he and Bonnie and the love he has for them is like nothing else, he's ever felt.

"I thought you two were going to sleep in your own beds tonight." Bonnie calls, with a slight smile on her lips. The amount joy he see's radiating off his wife at the mere sight of his children fills him with a happiness he had never known.

Amarie, the outspoken twin and more like him than ever had spoke first. "Nicholas is scared.

Nicholas frowns a dimple forming between his eyes. "No! Amarie is scared."

He shares a look with his wife and winks at her.

"Come on, the bed is big enough for you to join us." He says lifting the blankets.

Within a blink of the eye the children are snuggled in between he and Bonnie. If he thought seeing his wife pregnant for the second time was something wonderful, having his children and his wife all here, surrounding him was even better.

Later when the twins are asleep and Bonnie is dozing off, his eyes meet hers. "I love you Bonnie." He says passionately, itching to stroke her belly.

"And I love you."

End of Day Dream

He and Bonnie weren't perfect, far from it, but what he knew was that they clicked and he knew that one day- they'd have a family just like he had known upon meeting Bonnie that he'd be her future.

"Klaus," I call. "You kind of zoned out for a moment." I say studying him. This was certainly different. His guard was like all the way down which never happen; I guess I could say the same about myself as well. "You've had this grin on your face the whole time." I say opting for playful. "We're you thinking about maiming and torturing someone?" I say jokingly a smirk on my lips.

He snorts. "Sorry to disappoint you love," He quips. "I was just thinking of things to come." He says confidently as her eyes light up. The smile that follows lights her face is that of beauty.

"What things?" I ask with an arch of the brow.

"Things to come for you and I." He continues itching to touch her.

I can feel his energy, his happiness from where I stand, it's infectious. "Are you planning something?" I ask curiously.

He smirks. "Aren't I always?"

I give him a look to which he just laughs.

DS-SS-

Damon

After Lucy has stormed out of the he felt his whole body just about deflate. This had to be one of the longest two to three days of his life. And what sucked was that he knew that once Bonnie got wind of what he had said to Lucy, let alone anyone else a fight would ensue.

Out of the corner of his eye he catches Stefan who looks just as torn as he felt. This all that happen here could snowball into something that neither of them was prepared for. He blamed Stefan for most of this. If hadn't gotten the ball rolling then maybe just maybe they wouldn't be in this predicament.

"Are you seriously going to glare at me all day?" Stefan asks closing his book.

He glared again. "This is all your fault." He says pointedly.

Stefan throws his hands up in the air. "You always blame everyone else for what you do, you were the one that brought up Lucy and her past with the Mikaelson men, so when they come for that ass, know you and your big mouth is the cause for that." Stefan grumbles.

Briefly he takes a minute to just let everything sink in. Everything had gone too far way too fast. He was acting on emotion and hurt and that had never been a good thing. And now look what happen, his kitchen was just about blown apart and Lucy, was in shambles. Not to mention his brother, who was trying to act like every word Lucy said about Sheila and Elena hadn't gotten to him. He knew that Stefan had loved both women very much.

As for him he was just trying to hang on. It was better to concentrate on the fight, than anything else.

"Shit Stefan." He says suddenly. "I seriously want to kick your ass right now." He say thinking of Bonnie, Bonnie with Klaus. He flashes his teeth. "If it weren't for you, Bonnie wouldn't be with Klaus right now and I wouldn't have gone off on Lucy."

Stefan only shrugs. "I did have a hand in pushing her in his direction didn't I?" He asks almost proud. "Well think of it this way, I just sped up, you screwing up."

He's standing in front of Stefan in seconds. "I will get you back for that."

Stefan grins. "Cool." with a sigh he walks around his brother. "Now we've got bigger things to talk about, like plotting how to foil the Mikaelson siblings once they come for us."

He runs his hand through dark hair. "Bonnie won't let them hurt us, not really."

Stefan scoffs. "Why because she may have been in love with the idea of you?" When Damon begins to speak he hold up his hand halting speech all together for his brother. "She's with Klaus now, so instead of thinking about her, lets think about the damage that is here and now." Waving his hand he gave Damon back his speech.

He glared again. "Don't ever cast a spell on me again." he growls. "Now, I may have gone too far with Lucy but, if she can coexist with Kol than you and I should be fine."

Stefan nods. "One could only hope." pause.

The image of Lucy with tears threatening to fall from her eyes hit him suddenly. "You nearly made her cry." Stefan reminds.

He sucks in a breath. "Yeah. Not my best moment. But she got me...us back by saying we're just as bad as the Mikaelson men... and some."

Stefan pokes out his lip. "She's right about us though, we've wrecked a lot of lives." Stefan says fiddling with his fingers. "I remember each and every one of them though." Stefan says quietly."I keep it buried deep down, but its always threatening to come to the surface and remind me."

He looks over to Stefan seeing his brother look and act like himself for the first time in days.

"That's why we're going to save Bonnie from Klaus clutches. We may have done a lot of damage but what he'll do to her is far worse."

BB-BB-BB

Bonnie

Magic was in the air. I could feel it all around us, coiling itself around us. It was heightening our emotions and strengthening us at the same time.

"So, I've been dying to know," I say gaining his attention. "When we first met, why were you so stalkerish?" I ask gaining a dimpled look from Klaus.

He bites back a grin. Bonnie may have thought he was stalkerish- he thought he was being persistent. With a shrug he speaks. "I knew without a doubt, I was your future."

I can't help but give him a side eye. That was such a Klaus thing to say and to be honest I don't even think I'm that surprised. "So typical, oh wise hybrid king." I breathe out dryly.

Once again he finds himself biting back another grin. He found her amusing, always had from her shit talking to her fearless attitude. It was just a few traits he found attractive about her.

"I'm wounded." He says clutching his heart which only makes her roll her green eyes playfully. "My words may be smug, but it's true non the less."

At her wrinkled nose he places a simple kiss to it.

"Now what was your first impression of me?" He questions eagerly. "No lying either." He says pointing his finger in her face.

I open my mouth as if to bite the digit, which he removes quickly. "I thought you were a handsome looking, well dressed ego-maniac." I say as a slow smile finds itself to my lips.

He tilts his head agreeing with her assessment. "That sums me up pretty well, but you forgot to mention I look like a good lay."

Now its my turn to shrug. "I mean your alright." I say looking down at my feet.

He places his hand on my hips, as he invades my space. "Just alright." He says kissing my collar bone. Soon enough her brings his mouth to mine in a teasingly manner.

I say nothing which only spurs him on.

"I can easily remember having you in countless positions and you begging for more." He whispers against my mouth.

My hand finds it's way to his chest, where I touch the skin exposed by his henley. "You talk a big game," I breathe out. "How about you remind me." I say pulling away to get a good look at his lust filled eyes.

He gets that look in his eyes, just as his lips curl into a smirk. And then he's placing his mouth over mine, in the most agonizing slow pace. His tongue reaches out to stroke mine as a wave of passion slowly begins to ascend on me. Never to be outdone I give as much as I was given. I want him to feel, the intense feeling that is starting to grow inside of me. Need and want is causing my blood to rush and my skin to prickle.

When we break apart, we're both panting and wide eyed.

"Come on now love," Klaus says his hand reaching out to steady me.

I carry the dizzying feeling of his lips on mine for the rest of our trek.

Ansel-Sanctuary-Ansel

Ansel stood upon his deck as the night air flowed around. The stars were out as was all of the wild animals. He could feel nature all around him, but what he felt most was magic. It was in the air, and flowing vividly. He had a feeling that the electricity in the night had everything to do with Klaus and his bride.

He had observed the two from afar for quite some time and realized that they were navigating in uncharted waters. But he had a feeling everything would fall into place soon enough. They were still young and had more than a lifetime to grow together.

Digging in his pocket, he pulled out a single bracelet. It had belonged to Amelia long ago and he for the life of him, couldn't get rid of it, get rid of her.

He clicked his tongue, his wolf had claimed Amelia as his, had loved her despite everything. It was the kind of love he would always carry with him, deep in his heart. It was true what they had said some types of love, it never died no matter what.

He knew that Klaus and Bonnie could do much better than he and Amelia ever could. They were the witch and wolf..that were meant to be on the throne. It may have taken over a thousand years but finally, fate got it right.

Walking back to his chair he sits down and looks out at the night, inhaling he smelt the rain, rain he was sure was brought on by a powerful witch and a just as powerful hybrid.

BB-KM

Bonnie and Klaus

By the time we made it to our destination rain and pelted down on us, leaving our clothes soaking wet. With each rain drop it felt like magic was bursting at the seems within the confines of the Sanctuary. I had never seen anything like this before, let alone been apart of it. I thought it was the amount of supernatural in one place, it cackled with energy just like the sound of thunder in the distance.

Klaus had gripped me closer as we came to a stop.

"Surprise." Klaus says motioning to the house in front of us.

The house was beautiful, like most things Klaus had an affinity for all things that was pleasing aesthetic wise. However, their was something about this house that had me looking over at him. The white two story home with black trim, I had seen it before.

When I turned to him he was looking down at me bashful. "This- this house," I say pausing to wipe the rain from my eyes. "It was the house I spoke about in my book of dreams."

He takes his time to read her, to see if this was in fact a good idea. Originally when he stumbled upon her book of dreams, early on. He wanted to know about her inside out. He wanted to know more than just her body, he wanted to know what made her tick, what she hoped for in the future, what made her heart soar and what made it break. But what he had gathered from her book, was that she wanted to be loved, desperately so. But most of all she wanted to be Bonnie nothing more, nothing less.

"If you remember, you first mentioned this type of house after we got married. You were talking about what you pictured you life to be, had it not been for the prophecy." He says pulling at his shirt that is soaked to the gills.

I nodded my head in understanding. "But the house nearly mimics the cutouts in my dream book." I remind him. I say watching as he shifts from one foot to one. Normally I wouldn't continue to ask questions in the pouring rain because my hair was going to pay for it later, but right, I had to know.

"I found your book, and I remembered how you wanted a place that was within nature, a place where you didn't have to be who everyone wanted you to be. You wanted a place to just be." He says finally looking her way. "Come on lets get you inside you must be freezing." he says tugging on her arm.

"Wait." I say again looking to the house behind him. "You did all of this,"

He grips my face in his hands. "I did all of this for you- so you could have a place, a place where you could just be." He pauses as his lips curl. "Even hybrid Kings and witch Queens need a vacation."

At his words I felt something stir inside me. Klaus was here standing in front of me offering his everything all the time. He was one of the few people who saw me, not the supernatural queen, not the woman to use in order to gain something they wanted more than me. He just saw me, flaws and all. And he accepted me good and bad.

He lent his forehead against mine. "Don't you know, I'll do anything for you love, only for you."

I gripped his shirt, all the while peering up at him. "Lets, go inside."

No sooner than the words were whispered Klaus had us inside house.

He leaves me standing in the middle of the living room while he quickly starts the fire. The house itself is decorated impeccably. If I could manage to calm my nerves and stop hearing the rushing sound of my heartbeat, I could pay more attention to all of it. But right now I could focus on the hybrid who just turned to look at me.

"You need to get out of those clothes before you get sick." Klaus says removing his own shirt. I stand and watch him as he tosses the shirt on the plush white carpet. He makes a move for his jeans but stops upon catching eyes with me.

Slowly I make my way over to him. I lean up to brush my lips against his when he steps back only for me to do it all over again. I reach out for him and this time he reaches back. My mouth lands on his in such a raw and hungry way that I nearly swallow the groan he lets out. He pulls on my hair making my head snap back and moves his mouth across my face to just a bit under my ear and soon uses his tongue to lick a trail where my shirt is open. Seconds later he's pealing the shirt off of me, his eyes burning with lust. He places two kisses to my bra clad breast. His hands roam my legs before finally removing me from my jeans.

I reach out to touch his face, his stubble ticking my fingers. I know what this moment means for our relationship. Even more so I know what the last couple of days have meant and I don't want to ruin it. So instead I let my body do the talking. I had never really been good with words anyway, I hope my body can convey every single thing I want to share with him.

Standing before him in my seashell pink and black bralette and matching ruffled panties, I offer him a small smile. "Hey," I whisper as he swallows hard.

He lets out a breath as he eyes her from top to bottom. She is simply the most beautiful he's ever seen her. She's the most open he has ever seen her, and right now, he wants to capture this moment...to capture her. He wants to take his time, love her the way she needs to be loved...the way they need to be loved. "Love," He says nearly breathless. He places his hand on the side of his face as she leans in bridging the gap between them. "You're so beautiful."

It starts off with a twitch of the pigmented lips, followed by eyes that change from denim blue to green and finally settle back to blue with specks of yellow. And then he wiggle his fingers suggesting I come closer and I can't help myself. My lips catch his in a heated kiss. His tongue seeks mine asserting dominance while my tongue plays to win. His hands grip me as he pulls up as wrap my legs around him.

"I've been waiting so long." Klaus groans out as my lips trail down. "I thought you'd never say yessss" He hisses out as she places kisses on each one of his tattoos. Never to be outdone he yanks her hair back and shares a torrid kiss with her. His tongue delves into her like the rest of his body plans on doing.

With a patience he's never known he walks the two of them over to the couch. He's never wanted more of anyone the way he wants everything from her. Everything about her is driving him insane. The way she slides against his body, the way her heart speeds up and the taste of her that is forever embedded on his tongue is nearly his undoing.

"What do you want?" He asks huskily as he peers down on me. Every time I move closer he moves a fraction back, almost teasingly.

I reach for him and this time he allows me to touch him. My hands cup his face while his instantly tangle in my hair. Our tongues clash so deliciously that I want more, I need more. His finger slides down my bra strap as he lays a kiss to my shoulder. "Tell me what you want love, and I'll give you what you want." he whispers huskily against my skin.

"You." I mumble out.

"Say it again." He nearly grits. He wants to hear her want, because he can guarantee that what she is feeling is nothing but a fraction of what he feels.

His hand is warm as he covers me for the briefest moment with a feather light touch. "Again." He whispers against my forehead as he searches for more of me.

"I want you Niklaus!"

In a instant he's on top of me his hand feeding the fire with each caress to my skin. I smile up at him and tug on his necklaces bringing his face close to mine and then we bridge the gap between the two of us. My hands run over his bare back. As his lips trail over me. Sloppy open mouth kisses are pressed to my skin leaving imprints in their wake. My hands splay across his body while I try and fail to remove his jeans. My body shakes with need as I try again, only to have Klaus grin down at me.

"No rush love, we have all night." He says against my impatient mouth. His words slow me down. He's right, I don't have to rush this, we can take it slow.

I pull away from him suddenly as he looks at me adoringly. "Now, let me take you to our bed."

I nod as he leads the way.

Hands entwine we ascend the stairs.

-Sanctuary-Smooth and Summer

The wolf and vampire make it back to his cabin after nearly getting drenched by the sudden rainfall. He had watched as the vampire had sulked in her feelings since Klaus had disappeared with his bride.

"You know Summer," Smooth calls gaining her attention. "You could at least pretend to be happy for him."

Startled the vampire looks up with wide eyes. "I didn't say anything." she says defensively.

"You don't have to." Smooth says chastising. "He's happy Summer. When have you ever seen him so happy?"

The strawberry blond looks guilty for all of two seconds. "I know that." Pause. "She's everything to him Smooth! If it doesn't work out, it'll kill him." She says shaking her head. "Know one should wield that kind of power over someone."

He puts his arm around the vampire. "If you love him, you'll let him be happy with her." Pause. "Because he is happy, he adores her."

The vampire looks down. "Yeah, that's what I'm worried about."

He looks out at the rain. "You feel that power, that's the two of them together. They didn't need a prophecy to tell them where they needed to be, they stumbled upon each other all on there own." He says causing the vampire to look his way this time with mild acceptance.

Bonnie and Klaus

Once we reach the master bedroom, I realize that it is the perfect combination of both our taste. The vast room is decorated in dark blue and pristine white. Big windows adorn the room showcasing the natural light. A deck is nestled in the corner and after further inspection two chairs reside outside overlooking the lake.

I can feel Klaus as he comes to stand behind me, his breath hits my skin tickling me. I turn around to face him. My hand trails from his heart down finally resting on his jeans. His pants fall to the floor like the raindrops outside.

I look to the bed and then back to him. I grab his hand and lead the way all the while knowing he's watching my every move, taking in my every detail. I plant myself on the bed and look up at him. I motion with my finger for him to come forward like he had done to me earlier.

"So very impatient." He murmurs as his eyes light up while looking at me.

At his words I place a kiss to his chest where his heart lay. I watch as his face softens and soon move my way up his neck. "It's you and me." Iwhisper into his ear all the while successfully flipping him over. He said I needed to learn about patience, well I'd make him eat his words.

He growls at the change of position only to have her grin down at him.

"So impatient Niklaus." I call running my hands over him. When he sits up I push him back down, only for him to growl once again. His eyes have turned that amber color that always seems to set me off. My eyes drift close as I resist the urge to bend down and thoroughly tongue him down.

"Love." He calls causing me to open my eyes only to see want staring up at me. I nod my head and soon he sits up and places a scorching kiss to my lips. I know that this is different than any other times, it's the way he's looking at me, the things he shared with me and the way I feel which is all so sudden its hard not to gasp.

Soon the barriers that were once restricting the two of us, he in the form of dark blue boxer briefs and me in my pink and black panty set is long gone.

"It's you and me." He says all the while guiding me.. I take my time as he had urged before and slowly find myself sliding against him.

Once our bodies reconnect we let out a mutual gasp. It's been so long, so very long and the feeling that overtakes me is sudden. The skin to skin contact has my heart fluttering before we've even begun. The feel brings back so many memories. Klaus must feel the same because he still very still, too still for him. Usually he drives fast but this time, he seems to savor it.

His eyes peer at me saying words that don't need to be spoken.

Together we build, our gasp and moans filling the room making a soundtrack of their own.

We're intertwined mouths moving against each other as our tongues caress. Our bodies glide effortlessly together. It was too much and not enough at the same time.

I find myself asking for more and Klaus lets out a growl so loud I feel everyone with supernatural hearing has heard him.

Klaus

More

The simple word means so much more to him than she had ever known. She wanted more and he would give her more, more of him, more of his kisses, more of his touches, more of him. He had never loved anyone the way he loved her. He'd never wanted anyone the way he wanted her and now, now she was his. He could tell she was letting go some of her barriers and that made him want more.

Her urging was music to his ears and soul.

Reluctantly he pulled away from her, missing her form and soon found himself diving back in. He turns her just the way he likes and places kisses along her spine. Her skin glows mesmerizing him. He transfixed with her and although he loves this view of her, he wants to see her eyes.

He pulls away once again causing her to whimper and when she laying on her back with that look in her eyes, he starts all over again.

Hands together they move like waves to the shore, back and forth before letting it all go.
