I don't own VD.

If anybody would like some soundtrack while reading you should listen to "Stay awake" by Marlene. I listened to it while writing this chapter.
I hope you like!

Sigrid and Klaus ate their breakfast in silence, the hybrid constantly shooting glances her way but she pretended not to notice. She closed her eyes and turned her head towards the sun to feel it warm up the skin covering her cheeks and nose. It was wonderful and she loved the fact that she could feel Klaus gaze at her the whole time even if she didn't look his way and after a while she wasn't sure if it was the sun or his eyes that made her skin radiate with heat, either way it felt wonderful. Thinking about wonderful things her hand slowly went up to touch her lips as she thought about the sweet kiss she had given him earlier.

"I would love watching you sunbathe all day, sweetheart but I'm afraid we have some things to sort out before I can fully commit to it."

She opened her eyes and found that Klaus had moved a bit closer to her and was now sitting beside her on the sofa, with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes placed firmly on hers. Sigrid nodded slowly and shifted a bit in her seat before giving him a nod to confirm that she was ready for a serious talk.

"Someone has been at your house, sweetheart. Probably several times and if I knew who it was I would rip the persons throat out but I don't know who it is and since you're clueless as well I don't feel like you should be left alone at any time before we leave for Milan."

"I can take care of myself, you know." She tried her hardest not to smile at him, her voice had been serious but really she was just trying to push his buttons. It was nice to hear that he cared for her but now that she had found out just how easy it was to wind him up she just couldn't help herself from trying to, especially since he always seemed to be touching her when he was angry. Just thinking about his touch she felt like she might blush, if she would have been able to that is. He didn't say anything when she finally just smiled at him.

"Am I amusing you, sweetheart?"

"No, I'm sorry. It's just so boring to talk about the letters" She trailed off but she could tell by the look on his face that he didn't think that they were done talking about it and just when he was about to argue her on it she raised her index finger in the air as if she wasn't done talking and to her big surprise he actually stayed silent as she continued.

"I'm done worrying about it for now. I'll deal with it in Milan and as I said I can take care of myself but since I know that you are incredibly stubborn and I know that you won't let it be until we figure something out we should make some decisions. I know that you're not going to like it but I think that we should give Elijah a call and see if he may know who it is that are threatening me and until we get a hold of him and clear this mess out then you are welcome to stay with me, at my house, if it will make you feel like you have some sort of control over the situation."

At first it looked like he was going to argue with her and Klaus opened his mouth several times as if he was about to say something but didn't, He simply closed it again with an odd look on his face that Sigrid really didn't know what it meant. He was thinking about something, that was obvious but she didn't know what. He was a hard man to read.

Klaus knew that the letters was something that they had to talk about but to be honest he couldn't have cared less about the letters. All he could think about was Sigrids soft, sweet lips who she magically had pressed against his just moment earlier. He had been caught off guard, as usual when it came to Sigrid and he loved the moments of surprise that he always found himself in when she was around. And the kiss, oh god what a kiss it had been. It had been light and brief but it was enough to make his mouth watering by the thought of it and came to the conclusion that It had to be done again and it had to be done by him, his whole body screamed to be touched by her and all he really wanted to do was ravish her right then and there. His patience was wearing thin and even if he had had the strength to compose himself all this time it was beginning to get harder and harder by the minute. Especially now when he had tasted her and felt her delicate skin under his touch. Not to talk about the fact that he knew that bringing Elijah into the situation would complicate things, he wanted to know for sure that she was serious about this thing that they had going on between them and wasn't just going to leave as soon as the situation with the threats was under control. He wanted her around and therefor somehow he knew that if there ever would be a chance for them he would have to put himself in a venerable position and tell her how he felt. Just months earlier he had tried to do the same thing with Caroline and failed. He had tried to let her in but noticed halfway through it that she wasn't what he had been looking for, he had wanted her to choose him in the same way that he had chosen her but she never did. Sigrid on the other hand always told him what was on her mind and made him feel good about himself in some odd way that he never experienced before. She made sure that Klaus knew that she had chosen him even tough she knew about all the things he'd done, she was an extraordinary woman to say the least and he was beginning to feel something inside of him that had been dead for centuries awaken and come to life again. All because of her.

She gave him affirmation of her feeling towards him time after time and still he wanted more. It was like a hunger and he found that he had never wanted anything or anyone more than he wanted Sigrid and if there ever was a time to put his feelings on display the time for that was now.

"I don't say this often, but I think you're right, sweetheart. I'm not happy about it but we should call Elijah. He may know something that we don't. The problem is that I don't know what to say to him."

"About what?" She looked just as confused as she was. A smirk broadened on his lips and a shiver went down Sigrids spine when his hungry eyes met hers.

"You and me. Us." He simply said, the smirk never leaving his lips while he reached out and tucked a runaway stray of hair behind her ear. His touch made her whole body feel vibrant and she smirked back. Never in her life had someone made her feel like this and especially not just by tucking a stray of hair behind her ear. She leaned a bit closer to him before speaking.

"There is such a thing as you and me?" She cocked one of her eyebrows at him as he leaned even closer to her so that she could feel his breath on her skin.

"There definitely should be, love" She smiled warmly at him feeling a bit lightheaded at his words. The electricity between them was undeniable and Sigrid was temped to lean just a little bit closer to him so that their lips would meet but realized that she had asked him to stay with her and wondered what would happen if she took this any further, she didn't want him to think that she was easy, didn't want to be the one to make the first step again. She frowned at the thought, she hated how the whole "love game" was about to play out. It was like a silent agreement that everyone around the whole wide world knew about and everyone had agreed to at some point. The guy should wait three day before calling after a date, the girl shouldn't call or text before the guy did. She hated all of those rules but at the same time it felt wrong breaking them, on the other hand, she wasn't famous for sticking to the ruled but still decided to let the thought of kissing him go. She wouldn't make a move again until he did. He was the original hybrid for crying out loud. She would wait but not without being a little disappointed by the fact that there wouldn't be another kiss. Sigrid was just about to lean out of the tension-zone when Klaus took one of her hands into both of his and looked into her eyes with an intense look. She could feel his fingers gently trace the curve of her hand at the same time as they stared at each other for what felt like an eternity. If she had had a heart it would have been beating out of her chest.

"I'm not used to giving away what I'm thinking to anybody but I find it hard not to when I'm with you and I would hate for this thing that is happening between us to be ruined by Elijah. Therefor I have my doubts about contacting him but I know we have to if he can help to figure this mess out. But I just want you to know, before this whole thing is set in motion, that you give me some sort of tunnel vision Sigrid. It's like nothing that I've ever experienced before. I could be in a crowded room anywhere with a million people around and all I'd see would be you. Everything around me just disappears. There's only you."

And before Sigrid had a chance to process what he had just said Klaus crushed his soft lips against hers. The kiss started out as gentle as the last one but as soon as he put his hands on her face Sigrid couldn't help herself and the kiss went from gentle to hard and passionate in just a few seconds. She grabbed a handfull of the fabric of his shirt and pulled him even closer to her as Klaus took charge and deepened the kiss even further. Sigrid tangled her hands is his hair to lock on to him even more, showing him that she wasn't about to back away when she felt her whole body being picked up only to be pushed against the wall behind them. A soft moan escaped her lips as he pushed his rock solid body against hers as the kiss got deeper and deeper. The electricity between them was almost unbearable and heat poured through her body as she pushed up against him. Both of Klaus hands moved down her body and cupped her ass as hers moved frantically in his hair. Klaus touch sent delicious tremors through her whole body and he felt and tasted so impossibly good that she only wanted more. He moaned against her mouth and her chest was burning with the intensity of the kiss as she finally broke the kiss and pulled away only to rest her forehead against his. They looked at each other for a moment and all she could think about was this wonderful man standing infront of her making her feel more alive than ever. To hell with the rules, she wanted to be with him and she wanted it now.

"If you want me, I'm yours." She whispered, pressing gentle kisses to the corner of his mouth. Klaus let out a sight of relief as a small smile broadened over his lips.

"You're mine" he said and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.
