Chapter 20

I have no idea what is going on with this chapter but I hope you enjoy it. Just a quick warning there is smut in this chapter! It's near the end though so keep that in mind. Please read the A/N at the end.

it's some time later after some stunning hot chocolate courtesy of Elijah that the subject of Elijah and Klaus's little trip a few days ago is brought up.

'So what was it about' I say from my position on the floor near the fire.

'I had heard rumours about a rebellion in New Orleans designed to try and take us down, I needed Klaus with me so that I could convince Marcel to check it out. He called yesterday though and everyone who was involved is dead' Elijah says smoothly.

'Oh well that's good then, one less thing to worry about I suppose' I say sarcastically.

Klaus chuckles 'It's the way of things sweetheart, someone is always trying to overthrow us' he shrugs good naturedly.

'That's not going to get irritating at all' I grumble looking at all the originals from my upside down position now.

They all look amused and I can't help but grin at them, then I blush when I realise the implications of my words.

'So what are we going to do about these hunters' I say sitting up seriously changing the subject quickly.

'You aren't going to do anything love, I'll find them and imprison them until they die' Klaus says shrugging.

'I'm not saying I'm going to seek them out or anything but surely that can't be the whole plan' I say glaring at him.

'I see no reason to make a big deal of it' Elijah says looking as equally relaxed.

'You at least need to warn the others not to kill them' I say looking to Kol for support.

He snorts in amusement 'I don't see why, let them rot'

'No one deserves that' I say looking at Klaus, he gives me a look so intense that I can't help but feel humbled.

'Brother warn then, give them as few details as you can' Klaus says to Elijah.

He nods and a moment later he's gone.

'Well I'm going to go and see a friend' Rebekah says with a wink at me before she to flashes out of the room.

'Strumpet' Kol shouts after her amused.

'So kol, you feel like doing some of that training now.' I say giving him a hopeful look.

'Fine, let's go. But Nik you have to stay here, I won't have you interrupting every two minutes because she falls over' Kol grumbles annoyed standing up.

Klaus growls and I can feel his want to protest.

'It's fine Klaus, I'll be back soon. Kol will keep me safe' I say forcing him to meet my gaze.

'I don't like it, be careful love' he says sincerely to me, before going to my neck and biting it softly with human teeth. I shiver but let him stepping away towards Kol.

Kol lets us have our moment for once without remarking, I wave a quick goodbye to Klaus shouting over my shoulder.

'I'll be home soon' he gives me a warm grin then before me and Kol flash of.

I follow Kol into the woods and we stop when we get to the clearing we practised at last time. Kol gives me a grin, let's do this.

Two hours later and I'm bruised and bloody, mud covers me from head to toe while I lay on the floor panting. When I finally pull myself up Kol is leaning against a tree grinning.

'You did better than last time darling, and your defiantly stronger now' he adds helping me up.

'I feel like I got hit with a car' I groan stretching my muscles.

'But you got back up which is the important thing, and you'll be even stronger when you and Klaus are properly bonded' Kol says shrugging unconcerned.

'I feel stronger already and are you not concerned about me bonding with your brother' I say looking to Kol almost nervous for his answer.

Kol surprises me with his answer however 'I can think of no one I would rather have with my brother, you balance him out and make him altogether more tolerable. You've already changed him made him smile more; yes, the neck thing is weird but we'll get used to it. I already consider you my sister Caroline.' He says being surprisingly sincere smiling at me.

'I've never had a brother before Kol, but I'm glad my first one is you' I say fighting against tearing up at his sweet declaration.

He gives me a slow smile as we start to head back and I can't help but hug him in return.

'Careful darling or Nik will get jealous' he says with an eyebrow wiggle and a wink, I laugh at him as we finally arrive home.

I finally walk in and telling Kol I'll see him later I wander towards the study in search of Klaus, I find him paintbrush in hand furiously painting streaks on a huge canvas.

He stops when I walk in and greets me with a small smile, it quickly drops when he sees the state of me though and it looks like he's biting down a laugh.

'oh shut up' I grumble throwing myself on the sofa behind him.

His laugh escapes him then and I can't help but give a weak smile in return, I watch him continue to paint for a while before the mud starts to get itchy and I decide I need to shower.

'I need to go home, I need clean clothes and a shower' I say to Klaus getting up.

'Allow me to escort you love' Klaus says putting down his brushes and coming over to me.

I nod and we quickly drive back to my house, my mum is there and I really don't want to have to deal with angst over Klaus right now. To my surprise Klaus parks around the corner, I look at him questioningly.

'I'll park here and sneak in through your window sweetheart' he says with a smirk cutting the engine.

He knows what I was thinking and I smile at him gratefully, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek I climb out of the car and make my way inside.

'I'm home!' I shout coming into the house.

'In the kitchen' I hear shouted back.

I make my way into the kitchen and watch my mum stand at the oven stirring what smelled like bolognaise.

'hey bunny you want some' she says gesturing to the bolognaise.

I groan internally I bet Klaus heard that and is trying not to laugh, damn hybrid hearing.

'No I'm good we went out to an all you can eat Chinese and I'm finding it hard to move' I say with a laugh grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge.

'You and Klaus' she asks suspiciously.

'and Elijah, Kol and Rebekah' I say nodding watching her start to dish up a portion.

'You seem to be getting pretty close to all of them, and I noticed your bed hadn't been slept in' she says sitting down and glaring now.

'I slept over at Klaus' I say waiting for the anger I'm sure is soon to follow.

'And you thought I'd be okay with that' she says putting her fork down.

'Well I guess I didn't want to sleep at home alone again! Me and Klaus are complicated mum I need you to just try and understand that I know what I'm doing' I moan pleadingly.

'he's just so much older than you Caroline, I know I said I'd give him a chance but I don't want you to get hurt. How do I know that he hasn't just compelled you to be agreeable; I don't want you staying at his house overnight anymore' she says angry now.

'Me and Klaus are not a phase mum we're not going to end, and for you to think that he'd compel me hurts. It hurts that you don't trust me' I shout equally as mad now.

'You're young Caroline you don't know what you're doing, look we can talk about this later. I need to get to work, but bottom line is when your living under my roof you follow my rules and I say no more staying at Klaus's' she throws her empty dishes in the sink before giving me a glare.

'Klaus makes me feel safe mum, I can't explain it to you but we are connected I trust him; and I'm sorry if you can't see that but I'm not going to stop seeing him or staying at his house because we need to be close to each other physical contact helps. I'm sorry if you can't understand that' I exclaim loudly hurt.

'Caroline I know it feels like that now, but you don't know what you're saying. Your acting strangely overly familiar with him and it screams fowl play I don't want you to get hurt' she softens her tone.

'You're hurting me!' I scream at her 'Stop treating me like a child, you don't just get to pick and choose when you want to be a mum. I've been raising myself for a long time now I think I know what's best for me'

'Caroline, I never knew you felt like that. But my rules still stand, my house my rules' She says sternly.

'How would you know when your never here! I'm sorry but I can't do that' I shriek at her upset.

'I have to go Caroline' she shouts at me.

'Well so do I! Klaus is waiting for me unlike you he actually enjoys my company' my voice is cold and spiteful.

'Bunny it's not like that' my mom says softly.

'I'm spending the night at his I don't know when I'll be back' I say leaving the kitchen and walking towards my room.

'CAROLINE' my mum shouts at me.

'Just leave mum it's what your good at. I'll see you in the week sometime God forbid you get a weekend off' I say with a humourless laugh.

I walk into my room slamming the door and leaning back against it closing my eyes and listening to her drive of. When I open my eyes Klaus is there his eyes full of concern.

I'm not sad though I'm angry 'I'm sorry you had to hear all of that'

'She's just looking out for you love' he murmurs stroking my hair of my face.

'Well she doesn't need to I've been doing it myself for a long time now, besides you're not a threat to me I wished she trusted me' I say stamping over to my bed angrily.

'She does trust your sweetheart she doesn't trust me' his voice soft as he sits near me.

'Do you mind if I stay at yours tonight and maybe tomorrow' I say in a quiet voice, forgetting in my anger I hadn't actually asked to stay over at his tonight.

'Of course sweetheart, you don't even need to ask' he says giving my neck a soft nuzzle of reassurance.

'Thank you, I'll take a quick shower and we can go' I mumble going to the bathroom quietly.

I get in the shower and can't help but let my thoughts run rampant, I hate arguing with my mum but Klaus is worth it. They're all worth it and I know she'll come around, she just has to see it work over a long time period. That's what I hope anyway.

I scrub the mud from my skin angrily taking deep breaths to try and calm myself down, this has been a long day arguing with my friends and my mum is never good.

I get out of the shower feeling more in control of myself, quickly getting dressed in some sweats I look at my top I don't want to wear it it's too tight and I want something lose.

Going back to the bedroom Klaus looks up and smiles when he see's me and that makes everything better; just seeing his smile makes it all worth it he rarely gives that smile but when he does 90% of the time it's for me.

'Can I wear your shirt' I blurt out, then cover my mouth. Remember to think before you speak Caroline. Idiot!

Klaus just looks up amused though 'Why would you want to do that' his voice deliberately sensual.

'You know why' I grumble embarrassed.

He shrugs his shirt of slowly never breaking eye contact with me before handing it to me, I grip the material loosely overwhelmed now his warm skin is in front of me In the daylight. I examine the hard muscles and the tattoo on his shoulder, he's stunning.

Forgetting about the shirt I raise my hand to trace him feather, his muscles flex under my fingertips and I meet his gaze then letting it burn me.

'Did you draw this?' I whisper scared to break the atmosphere.

'You're the first person to ever ask me that, It's not my normal style love' he whispers back, his voice deeper now.

'But you did I can't imagine you'd let anyone else put their art on you' I murmur back.

'you know me so well already love' he whispers back his voice going husky, as my hand starts tracing the rest of his upper torso, running over his pectorals and his stomach before going back up and starting it again.

'Sweetheart' Klaus growls and again my eyes are drawn to his face, his eyes are blaring at me burning me.

'Kl-auss' I taunt.

He growls deeply and forces his lips against mine, I accept his kiss greedily as he grabs me by my hips forcing me against him. I thread my hands through his hair trying to get him closer and he growls his approval, moving his hands over my bum and down to my thighs he forces me to lift my legs and I do eagerly wrapping them around him tightly as he forces me against the door.

Next thing I know I feel him move and then my back is hitting the bed, his weight settling over me only makes me burn hotter his hands brush over me in rough caresses and the monster growls her approval.

He yanks my shirt up and sits back momentarily to pull It off groaning when he realises I never put a bra on after my shower, then he's back his warm skin touching mine and we let out dual hisses of approval it's almost audible when our skin touches like electric.

I claw at his shoulder needing more and his mouth leaves mine; trailing wet kisses down my neck biting and licking his way to my breasts. He palms them surprisingly gently before leaning down to rain kisses over them, sucking and biting I can't help but groan wiggling under him pulling his head closer.

He growls grabbing my arms and pinning them over my head I whine in frustration, with his head still at my chest his free hand travels downwards brushing over my thighs and back again but never where I want them teasing me.

Our movements are frenzied wild and instinctual and I can tell the animal in both of us is controlling us, mine screams at me to take what's mine make him as crazy as I am.

I ignore Klaus' hand for the moment and grind my lower half against his firmly making him growl and finally put his hand where I want it. He quickly brings me to my peak and I whimper when he stops not letting me go over moaning his name.

Klaus travels up to my neck then growling letting his fangs run over it 'Mine' he growls. I whimper in response nodding baring my neck more fully letting him know I wanted him to bite me.

'Mine' he growls again and this time it's impatient and I know what he wants.

'Yours' I growl back desperately.

He builds me up again and the just when I'm close he sinks his fangs in my neck sending me over whimpering and moaning his name. When I've come down he releases my wrists and when I open my eyes I find him staring at me.

'Your stunning love' he whispers nuzzling his bite still above me.

I shift slightly and realise that he's still above me, still needing something for himself still burning an I can help. I flip him quickly onto his back straddling him.

'Your turn' I say with a grin.

'you don't have to sweetheart' he says smoothly stroking my hair back from my face.

I ignore him, I want to do this to take away the burning like he did for me. I slather his neck in kisses like he did for me biting him with my human teeth sliding my hand down his chest over him stomach; I undo the button on his jeans sliding my hand inside.

He hisses when I make contact and it makes me grin, I play with his nipples licking my way around his chest. I can feel him getting close and Instead of speeding up I slow down, two can play at this game.

I circle back to his neck teasing him the beast in my growls for his submission, it needs it. 'Mine' I growl pulling his head back, he growls at me but doesn't answer he does move his head giving me easier access though.

'Mine' I growl again pulling his hair back and speeding up my hand letting my fangs emerge scraping his neck gently.

It takes him a minute but he replies 'Yours' with a growl, and finally I pierce his neck savagely but it just spurs him on he pushes my head into his neck deeper wanting it rougher, I oblige happily and he finally finishes grunting and hissing my name.

I relax on top of him but I'm not there for a moment before I'm rolled back onto my back and kissed thoroughly, it starts getting heated again when Klaus pulls back.

'We should stop love' he says his voice hungry and unrecognisable.

'Should we' I grin teasingly.

'Until we know more about the bond, I want you to be sure love.' He growls back at me and it makes me giggle.

'I'm sure' I whisper against his lips.

He growls again and we resume kissing but again he breaks away.

'That's getting annoying you know' I pant breathlessly.

'If I don't stop now I won't be able to' he groans rolling of me taking me with him.

We cuddle for a few minutes before I sit up looking at him, his hair is mussed up and the marks on his chest and face are slowly healing his roughish grin telling me I look the same.

'You look edible love' he purrs and I can't help but giggle. Slapping his chest getting up.

I get up re-dressing shoving his shirt on instead of mine, and when I look at him he has a predatory look in his eye.

'I like you in my clothes sweetheart' he growls getting up and coming towards me.

'Ah ah ah you just stay right there mister, we are not starting that again' I say pointing at him as he stops dead smirking at me.

'if you can't stop yourself from jumping me I'll stay right here' he says with a grin.

'Says you Mr if I don't stop now I won't' I say attempting to mimic his accent horribly making his smirk widen further.

'Well now I need a shower love' he says glancing at his shorts briefly then back at me.

I can't help but laugh at that, feeling like I could freshen up to. I quickly fly around the room packing some clothes in a duffel bag for Klaus's house.

When I'm ready I turn back to Klaus ready to go and realise that he's not wearing a shirt, I go to take his off to give it to him but he stops me.

'I'll be fine love, keep it' he says quickly stilling my hand.

'You can't go home like that' I say frowning at him, he just smirks and shrugs.

'No one will see me and I'll shower when I get home sweetheart. I'm sure are you ready to go' he says grabbing my bag and motioning to the door.

I roll my eyes at him as we make our way back to the car, it's chilled outside but he doesn't seem to notice as confident in his skin as he is in clothes.

The drive is short and only further seems to highlight how tired I am, I yawn and Klaus glances at me with affection in his eyes.

We finally get home and Klaus grabs my bag and ushers me inside, I stumble into the foyer Klaus hot on my heels as we make our way towards the stairs. We are interrupted however when I hear a soft curse from Klaus before Elijah strolls in stopping in shock when he sees us looking ragged smelling of sex and blood.

I stare like a deer in the headlights blushing when Elijah's lip twitches into a smirk, he takes in Klaus's shirt on me and it only widens. Gosh this family and smirking.

'Hello brother, good evening?' Elijah asks Klaus amused.

'Fine, Now if you'll excuse us' Klaus says tersely propelling me forward.

And then as if things couldn't get any worse, Kol stumbles out of his bedroom bleary eyed in only his boxers yawning and stretching. He stops when he sees us confused as to why we are standing on the stairs.

I groan into my hands and Klaus gives up letting a smirk come out, I glare at him now we are blocked on both sides.

'What are you doing?' Kol asks dazed, then he blinks looking at Klaus shirtless and me wearing said shirt.

'Nothing Kol just going to bed' I say continuing up the stairs.

'It looks like you've just come from bed' Elijah grins and Kol looks to him in shock.

'Tut tut sister, now I have two sisters who are strumpets' Kol grins catching on.

'Shut up Kol' I say blushing furiously and pushing past him to get to Klaus's room.

I open the door to the sound of his laughter and Klaus is right behind me shutting the door.

'I apologise for my siblings love' Klaus says innocently at me.

'Oh no you don't get to play the innocent card with me, this is all your fault you should have just taken you shirt back' I growl at him.

'They would have smelled it on us anyway sweetheart' he grins at the memory and I can't help but return it with a small smile.

'I'm going to shower love, won't be long' He says disappearing into the bathroom but leaving the door open, and I grin at the doorway.

I quickly strip my bottoms off and underwear leaving me in just his shirt, I grab my toothbrush from my bag before heading into the bathroom.

I look at Klaus who is giving me a bemused look from in the shower, I give him a tooth pasty smile before rinsing and spitting.

'This feels oddly domestic' I say in the mirror to Klaus 'Does it bother you? How fast this is moving' I say curious and full of doubt.

'Not at all love, it just feels right' he says giving me a look telling me it doesn't bother him as he gets out of the shower wrapping a towel around his waist.

He comes up beside me dripping and gorgeous and I think I may be drooling a little bit; I shake my head trying to snap out of it but his knowing smirk tells me that he's aware of my scandalous thoughts.

I huff out of the room leaving him to finish up I slip into bed pulling the covers over me, he comes into the room a minute later killing the bathroom light and grabbing something from a draw before sliding in next to me.

I realise he grabbed boxers when he pulls me close to him and I snuggle into his side content, how could this ever be considered wrong? He sniffs my hair pulling me close and I let his heartbeat soothe me to sleep.
