Magical Steroline

Chapter 5 – It's Gonna Be One Hell of a Show

Stefan was waiting in the living room for Caroline to come down. He was in a pair of sweatpants and a white vest. They were going over to the Lockwood's for their first practice for the charity show and to find out whoever else she'd roped into it. Speaking of his gorgeous best friend he called out, "Are you ready yet, Caroline? The mastermind behind this shouldn't be late to the practice for her own show, should she?"

"Pfft!" Came from the direction of the stairs, Caroline talking as she jogged down the rest of the steps, "As if I would be late. I'm never late."

Stefan's mouth parted as he sucked in a breath at the sight of her in front of him. She had on another one of those revealing tanks that made his blood boil with desire, a loose pair of jogging pants that just barely clung to her hips, her battered ballet flats that he knew were her favourite – and rather cutely – her lucky pair, and the look was finished by her hair being tied up in pigtails. Pigtails. Which for some reason made his stomach clench, and he had the strongest urge to curl his fingers in them and tug on them. And not for entirely playful reasons either.

Stefan cleared his throat, forcing an amused smirk to curl his lips as he looked her over, reaching out to tug on one of her pigtails like he was craving to, "You look adorable." The little giggles she let out made his smile become realer, so he released her silken strands from his loose grip to caress his hand over her shoulder and down her arm to slip his fingers through hers.

"And you look hot." Caroline replied without thinking, licking her lips at the abs she could see through his vest.

Stefan couldn't help but grin with pleasure, "Thank you."

Caroline's eyes widened as she realized what she'd said, covering her mouth with her hand in shock. She couldn't believe that she'd just told Stefan that he was hot, no matter how true it was. He looked mouth-wateringly attractive right now, making her pulse throb loudly in her ears. She slept nestled up to that gorgeous specimen of man every night, face buried in his chest breathing in his scent, his strong arms holding her close and stroking along her skin. Her cheeks flamed at the thought.

Stefan stroked the back of his free hand down the side of her red cheeks, the smirk wide on his face as he leant in close, letting his lips brush seductively against the skin of her cheek, "Do you like what you see?"

Caroline's breath caught at how close he was to her, the scent that was purely Stefan filling her senses. She couldn't stop herself from leaning into him, her nose brushing his as she whispered back, "As much as you do."

Stefan chuckled, placing his hand on her hip, daringly testing the strength of those pants by rubbing his thumb against them. He should really stop this, but he was engulfed in her scent, and entranced by the feel of her in his arms. For this moment, he didn't want to be anywhere else but wrapped around her.

Caroline allowed her hand to rest against his lower abdomen, splaying her fingers out and getting lost in the feel of him. She just wanted to rip that vest right off him and touch all that perfect skin of his. She swallowed at the thought, a tremble in her fingers, trying to fight back the urge inside her to tilt her head up and kiss those gloriously kissable lips of his. She really needed to stop thinking about kissing him.

"We should go." Stefan whispered against her jaw, leaving a kiss on her skin before finally removing himself from her. He kept his hand within hers, tugging her towards the door.

Caroline let him lead her out, her heart racing and her breaths uneven. She and Stefan were definitely flirting with each other, and she didn't know what to think about it. They were sleeping in the same bed, something she'd offered him as a friend to help soothe him through his nightmares. He hasn't had one in weeks. Ever since he'd started sleeping next to her he never had a nightmare again, and she had never even thought about telling him to sleep on the couch. She loved going to sleep with him each night and waking up next to him every morning.

God…

Could she possibly have feelings for Stefan?

She glanced at his back, the well-defined muscles of his arms and shoulders on clear view to her. Her core throbbed at the sight, arousal ebbing through her. She tried to shake off those thoughts. He was still getting over Elena, and if she ever came to her senses about what she had lost he would go back to her.

He could never want Caroline like he wanted Elena.

Though… he had been flirting back with her.

No, no, no. You can't think like that, Caroline. She chided herself in her mind, needing to push away these stupid feelings before they deepened any further, Stefan is your best friend. That's it.

Oblivious to the warring emotions in Caroline, Stefan helped her into the car, dropping a kiss on her forehead, smiling at her as he straightened. He stroked his hand through her hair, indulging in his need to be touching her soft strands. He knew that something was happening between them, something unexplainable, especially in the recent demise of both of their relationships, though he knew that Tyler never deserved her, but still she had loved him, and he knew that it had hurt her deeply. He felt the almost constant need to be around her, always needing to be touching her in some way, and loving to make her smile or laugh.

He was falling for her.

It was exciting, new, mind-blowing, and just a complete breath of fresh air. He thought he would have tried to cling on to the idea of him and Elena for longer, but with Caroline's caring attitude and loving attention Elena had been almost completely removed from his heart. All that remained was the hurt that she would disregard their relationship by getting together with Damon so quickly, and a deep seated appreciation for the love they once shared that showed him that he could be loved.

It was time for him to move on.

And he was really hoping that his beautiful blonde best friend would want to become something more too. He loved and adored her friendship, it was one of the best things in his life and he truly thought he would be lost without her, but he was ready to become something more than just her best friend.

He had been fantasizing about kissing her for weeks - even longer if he let himself think about it. He had resisted the urge to taste those tempting lips on more than one occasion. He just hoped that soon he would be able to make that fantasy a reality.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to live with her and not give away just how his feelings had begun to change.

Not that he was hiding it that much or very hard.

What with all the kisses he couldn't help giving her on the forehead and her cheek, or the snuggling with her on the couch, or holding her within the circle of his arms every night. And of course there was their borderline flirting.

Nope, not hiding in the slightest.


Stefan and Caroline arrived at the Lockwood's, parking outside before both of them got out.

Stefan moved around the car to stand by her side, reaching out to tangle his fingers between hers, gazing at her in concern, his thumb stroking back and forth over the back of her hand as he asked, "Are you worried about seeing Tyler?"

"Yes… and no." Caroline huffed out a laugh, a small smile curling her lips, "I don't want to be with him, but it will still hurt to see him."

"I know." Stefan ran his fingertips over her cheek delicately, his eyes soft and gentle, "If anyone knows exactly what you are going through, then its me."

Caroline nodded, stepping closer so that she could wrap her free arm around his waist, burying her face in his chest, breathing him in as she tried to get her emotions under control.

Stefan closed his eyes as he rests his chin on the top of her head, his hand stroking up and down her back to soothe her. He knew it would be hard for her to see her ex again, just as it had been hard on him when he saw Elena again, and if not for Caroline's beautiful light, shining her beaming sunshine on him, it might have hurt him more than it did. He hoped he could be that for her today.

Caroline squeezed his waist one last time before reluctantly pulling back to gaze into those gorgeous green eyes of his. She was trapped in his gaze, a smile pulling at her lips, her fingers stroking along his vest covered back, feeling the way his muscles rippled beneath her hand making her shiver. She licked her lips, her voice hushed, "Thank you."

"You never have to thank me." Stefan pressed a tender kiss to her cheek, smiling as he brushed his lips across her skin to whisper, "I'm here for you. Always."

Before Caroline could reply she heard a throat clear and the condescending voice of Carol Lockwood, "If you've finished canoodling with your friend." She gave Stefan a dirty look, "Do you think you could help with the rehearsals for the show you wanted us to do."

Caroline groaned, saying low enough that only Stefan could hear, "I am so glad that I no longer have to play nice with her. She would have been the mother in law from hell."

Stefan choked out a laugh, letting Caroline go from his embrace. A part of him twisted in knots that she'd thought of Carol as her mother in law at all, that she could even imagine herself being married to Tyler. He had never been worth her love, and he was so relieved that they were over for good. She deserved better than that.

Caroline walked to where Carol stood, a fake smile on her face as she asked, "Where is everyone?"

"I thought it would be better in the grounds, as you'll have more space." Carol answered.

"Good idea." Caroline admitted, looking around as she tried to think of something else to say, but she had nothing besides asking about Tyler, and she thought that might be a little awkward.

Stefan could sense that Caroline was beginning to get uncomfortable with the silence so he stepped in. He took her by the crook of her elbow, guiding her away from Carol and towards the people waiting for Caroline. When they were in the grounds of the mansion his eyes widened at the assembled group of people before them. How had she managed to get them to all agree to this.

The boys were - Tyler, Kol, Ric and Damon. The girls - Elena, Bonnie, Rebekah, and April.

Stefan raised his eyebrow as he asked incredulously, "Kol? You asked Kol Mikaelson to do this?"

"Please!" Caroline scoffed, her eyes amused as she watched Kol try to flirt with Bonnie, "He practically begged me to take part. He even threatened to compel me."

Stefan stiffened beside her, his eyes shooting a glare in Kol's direction, "Then perhaps I should break his neck."

"Relax." Caroline patted her hand against his chest as she chuckled, "He wanted in, he got in. You're lucky it wasn't Klaus."

Stefan flicked his eyes to Caroline, his voice filled with disbelief, "That was even an option?"

"Not by choice." Caroline curled her fingers in one of her pigtails as she explained, "Klaus happened to overhear as I was asking Rebekah. He asked if I was going to ask him but then Kol vamped in and begged me." She grinned wide as she remembered what she'd said.

"What's that look for?" Stefan asked curiously, a smile curling his lips in response to hers, as he couldn't help smiling when she did. She just had that effect on him.

Caroline laughed, "After Kol threatened to compel me and then Klaus threatened him I told them both that Kol could do it if he really wanted to but I would have wanted Elijah as I always see him in a suit and would love to see him out of it."

Stefan felt that ripple of jealousy hit him again. He clenched his jaw, thankful that Elijah wasn't here and would never do something like this. He did not want to see Caroline drool over someone that wasn't him.

"Have you two lovebirds finished with your little tête-à-tête?" Kol interrupted, smirking at the glare on Stefan's face, "Because we are dying to get started, darling."

"Yeah, dying." Bonnie rolled her eyes, Kol's overexcited behavior getting on her last nerve, "Can we just get on with it, Care?"

Caroline could already sense that this was going to be a nightmare with all if them in one place. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to hang onto her control. She released it on a sigh as she felt Stefan briefly take her hand to squeeze in reassurance. He always knew just how to calm her down.

She forced a too bright smile on her face as she clapped her hands together, "Alright. Let's start practising."

Several unenthusiastic noises were heard, the only one genuinely excited was Kol.


For the next four days the practising continued, Caroline being the drill sargent that she was demanded perfection from them all. A few walkouts were threatened, but after a spot of pleading, it was all smooth again.

Today was the final practice, and Caroline was so eager to get to it. She wanted go over their moves again. She wanted to make sure the night was a complete success. The boys were coming along nicely, Kol naturally was in his element as he strutted his stuff, you would never guess that he was over a thousand years old. Even Stefan was amazing, just the movement of his body made her heart race, and he hadn't even taken his clothes off yet, god knows how she was going to be able to make it through when he did.

Caroline called everyone to her. She looked at each of them, the most unbelievable group to be doing this together. Time for one last pep talk, "Okay. The big show is in two days. You all have the moves down and I know you can do me proud." She held her hand out in front of her palm down, a grin on her lips as she said, "I know that some of us are friends, some of us are enemies, and some of us are exes." She took great pleasure in how uncomfortable both Tyler and Elena looked, "But for one night we are gonna put that aside and be a team. You in?"

Stefan was the first to place his hand on top of hers, grinning back at her with laughter in his eyes, "I'm in."

Kol was next, "You know I am more than in, darling."

One by one they all laid their hands on top of one another, and then raised their hands up as they showed a moment of solidarity.

"Now... back to work." Caroline chuckled at the groans she received. She smiled as she watched everyone work together. She was pleased at what she'd accomplished before they even did it for everyone. She had got enemies, exes, and friends to work together without trying to kill each other. That was a win for her already.

Stefan stood at her side, wrapping his arm around her shoulder to pull her into his side, brushing his lips against her temple, "I'm proud of you."

"Thank you." Caroline beamed, her cheeks flushed with pleasure. She leaned into his shoulder, allowing herself a moment to relax with her best friend before she had to whip them into shape one more time.

Stefan just held her closer.


It was the night of the performance. All of them were dressed and ready. And every single one of them was nervous and excited.

Carol took to the stage, "Welcome all. We are here for our annual charity event. This year we are doing something a little different. So put your hands together for our boys and give them your money and appreciation." She joined the applause as she walked off stage.

The lights dimmed, and the music began to play. "All The Time" by Jeremih.

Early in the mornings when I think about you
Yeah—I hit you like "What you sayin'?"
In the mornings when I wanna fuck you
Yeah—I hit you like "What you sayin'?" I-I-I-I could fuck you all the ti-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ime I-i-i-i-i-i-i-ime, i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ime
I-I-I-I could fuck you all the ti-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ime I-i-i-i-i-i-i-ime, i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ime

Kol, Stefan, Damon, Tyler and Ric marched on to the stage, taking their positions; Kol at the front, Stefan and Damon on either side behind him, and Ric and Tyler at the back. They were all dressed in suits; Kol, Tyler and Ric in white, Stefan and Damon in black so they had a monochrome look.

They stepped to the left, undoing the first button on their suits jackets, and then moved to the right, undoing the next. They took hold of each loosened side, flicking their arms back so that their jackets fell off their shoulders, they let them drop all the way before grabbing the jacket before it fell. They threw it over one shoulder, bucking their hips in sync, smirking at the screams that followed. They turned around, throwing the jackets into the crowd.

Caroline was grinning wide, all of them were so good, and looked devilishly handsome. The beat of the music added something sexy to their movements, that extra thump hitting something in her body, making her pulse throb with the beat.

The boys turned as one sinking to their knees, hands going to their shirts and unbuttoning each button slowly, rolling their stomachs as each new piece of skin was exposed. Once their shirts were fully open they hooked their fingers in the waistband of their pants, leaning back as far as they could, bucking their hips up, before trailing their hands along their chests as they raised back up. They took hold of their sleeve, pulling it off slowly before moving to the other arm to do the same. Once it was completely removed they took it in hand, sliding it down their body's, before throwing it into the crowd. Stefan making sure it would land by Caroline, winking at her as she waved it into the air.

Caroline brought his shirt up to her nose, breathing in the masculine scent that was all Stefan. He smelled so good, so very sexy. And even more so now because he was gloriously shirtless, all his defined chest on show, the low lights making the cut of his abs appear even more defined. She licked her lips. He was unbelievably hot right now.

They stood up, sliding their hand down their chest to grab their crotch, thrusting into their hand. They stepped into a line, two sliding right as the others went left, then repeating it the opposite way. Then they moved until they were all in a row, their hands grabbing at the waist of their pants. They thrust their crotches to the best of the music, a salacious grin curling their lips as they worked up the crowd, building the anticipation before they finally ripped their pants from their body. They were left in very form fitting briefs, eye catching and leaving nothing to the imagination.

Caroline couldn't take her eyes off Stefan, his body was a work of art, and the bulge packaged away in those briefs made her core throb. Heat rushed through her, and her eyes caught Stefan's. The smirk he sent her made her legs tremble, her breathing deepening at how turned on she was getting.

The boys took hold of each leg, taking a step closer to the stage, smirking into the crowd as they ripped them completely in two, letting the pieces fall to the floor beside them. They ran their fingertips down their sides, hooking their fingers into their briefs, falling to their knees as the music ended.

Caroline jumped up and down clapping loudly as she screamed in approval. That had gone even better than she thought it would. The crowd was wild, clapping and hollering, money being thrown into the collection boxes by the side of the stage. It was amazing.


Stefan went into the employee room in the grill so that he could change. Walking around in just his briefs was not very comfortable. He still couldn't believe that he'd actually done it – took his clothes off and danced in front of a roomful of people – and it was all because he wanted to be the one Caroline danced against. He shook his head at himself in bemusement. He must have it bad for Caroline to do this for her.

Speaking of the blonde beauty, she was waiting for him inside, that breathtakingly brilliant smile on her lips as she greeted him with an excited hug. He wrapped his arms around her immediately, his breath catching at the feel of her hands against his bare skin. He smiled against her, his voice teasing, "I take it you liked our performance?"

Caroline pulled back far enough to look into his eyes, "I loved it! It was amazing. You were all so good and looked so gorgeous up there."

Stefan smiled back, so pleased that she was happy. He rests his head against hers, stroking his fingers along her back, his smile turning into a smirk, "It's your turn now, beautiful."

Caroline blinked her eyes in surprise at the endearment coming out of Stefan's mouth, a blush filling her cheeks, her eyes dropping shyly only to land on his gorgeous bare chest in front of her. Her breath caught, and she strayed her eyes even further south to see him still just in his briefs. She gasped, and stumbled back from him so fast that her back hit the wall.

Stefan couldn't help but chuckle at how flustered Caroline was at finally noticing that he was naked except for his underwear. Not that he minded in the slightest having her hands on him, or her body pressed against him, he just wished that next time she could be naked as well. His eyes widened at the stray thought, it was not the best time to be thinking about Caroline in that way when he could not exactly hide the effect she had on him from her eyes.

Caroline had to shut her eyes when Stefan turned around and she could see the rippling muscles of his back. She took deep breaths to get her libido under control, not wanting to freak Stefan out by jumping on him and having her way with him. She repressed a groan. Why the hell would she start thinking about that? It wasn't helping her curb the desire within her in the slightest. Damn vampire hormones.

Stefan quickly dressed into his jeans and buttoned up his forest green shirt. Once he was done he walked over to Caroline, grinning at the way she had her eyes screwed shut so that she wouldn't peak at him. I wouldn't have minded if she had, Stefan thought with an inner smirk.

Caroline sensed that Stefan was now in front of her, so without opening her eyes she squeaked out in a high voice, "Are you decent?"

Stefan chuckled, wanting to tease her a little, as it was so much fun to get a reaction from her, and it fed his hopes that she felt something for him too even if it was only lust. He stepped into her personal space, placing his hands against the wall on either side of her waist, pushing his body against hers as he whispered breathily into her ear, "How about you use your hands on me to find out?"

Caroline gasped and opened her eyes in shock, only to be looking straight into those glowing green eyes that immediately stole the breath from her lungs. They were so dark with desire, while also holding amusement. He made her so confused. Was he truly feeling desire for her? Or was he just being playful with her? It was driving her crazy that she had no idea which one it was.

Stefan smirked, running his nose along hers as he tempted, "Come on, Caroline, you're not afraid to touch me," he raised his eyebrows in a challenge, "are you?"

Caroline narrowed her eyes at the cocky smirk on his face. She would wipe that look straight off his handsome features, no one could play this game as well as her. She was Caroline Forbes after all; cheerleader, Miss Mystic Falls, organizer, and competitive as all hell. She didn't know how to lose.

So she kept her eyes on his as she placed her hands on his lower stomach, tantalisingly moving her hands upwards along his chest, satisfied when the smirk dropped off his face and he had to take in a sharp breath. She tilted her head, biting sexily into her bottom lip, wanting to giggle when his eyes locked onto her mouth. She released her teeth from her lip, licking her tongue across, curling her lip as she breathed out, "You feel indecent to me, Stefan."

Stefan flicked his eyes back up to her beautiful blue eyes, his breathing speeding up as he was caught in her gaze. He lowered his head to hers when the abrupt slam of the door pulled them apart. He glared at the sight of Tyler making his way in, practically sauntering past them as he made his way to where his clothes were stashed.

Feeling their stares on him Tyler turned around to ask, "What? Do you want to stick around and watch? It's nothing that she hasn't seen before, right, Care?"

Caroline rolled her eyes and scoffed before storming out. She was really glad that Tyler and her were over because he was turning back into a gigantic asshole.

Stefan clenched his jaw, glaring angrily into Tyler's eyes, really wanting to punch him in his smug face. He held back for Caroline's sake, but he ever crossed the line with her again he would take great pleasure in hitting him until he bled. He left to go find Caroline, hoping that she wasn't upset.

Caroline had just knocked back a shot when Stefan sat beside her. She turned her head to share a smile with him, the clench of her fists the only sign of Tyler having any effect on her.

"You okay?" Stefan asked, placing his hand on the small of her back, rubbing circles against the skin, trying to soothe any anger Tyler caused her.

"Yeah." Caroline sighed, leaning her head on Stefan's shoulder, "It just makes me really glad that we're over. I'm never getting back together with him."

Good, Stefan thought as he pulled her closer to him, dropping a kiss on her head.

They just stood like that, together and content, for so long that they only stepped away from each other when Bonnie came to get Caroline as the time for their half of the show was soon.

Stefan brushed his thumb against Caroline's cheek, winking at her as he chuckled, "I'll see you for my lap dance."

"Yes, you will." Caroline giggled, impulsively leaning over to place a kiss on the side of his mouth, barely a breath away from his tempting lips. She pulled back to smirk at him, "I hope you're ready for me."

"More than ready." Stefan wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at her, grinning widely as she giggled as she left with Bonnie. He sighed as he watched her go. He had been waiting the whole night for this, and yet he wasn't ready in the slightest for the sight of Caroline dancing seductively in front of him.

He was screwed.

He didn't care.


Carol took to the stage again, "Ladies and gentleman, it's time for the final part of the night. The ladies dancing with their partners." She clapped along with the audience as she walked off the stage.

The lights lowered as Caroline, Bonnie, Elena, April, and Rebekah came on stage. They all wore the same thing; dark red crop top that came to the top of their ribs, skin tight black pants that looked as if they had been sprayed on. They each looked hot – hair loose, black smoky eyes, and sinful cherry red lips.

The first notes of "I'm A Slave 4 U" started, each of the girls mouthing the words as they smirked at the people in the room.

I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too.
And I need to do what I feel like doing.
So let me go and just listen.

They shook their hips as they slowly made their way off stage to reach their partners. Elena with Damon, April with Tyler, Rebekah and Ric, Bonnie with Kol, and finally Caroline with Stefan.

Caroline winked at Stefan as she reached him. She placed her hands on her waist, and began circling her hips like she had a hula hoop. She ran her hands up her bare sides, teasing at the edge of her breasts before sinking her hands into her hair.

Stefan's mouth had gone dry. Caroline looked drop dead gorgeous and sexy as all hell. Those pants were dangerously low on her hips, but they were so tight that they stayed on. Her toned flat stomach made him swallow, he could see the muscles working with every circle of her hips. The look in her eyes alone made him hard, so dark and seductive, making him unable to look away from her even if he wanted to. Which he didn't. Though keeping his hands off her would be the problem.

Caroline grinned as she knew it was time for the chorus. The sexiest part of the song. She took her hands out of her hair, seductively running her fingers over her lips at the panting part of the song before placing them on the arms of his chair.

I'm a slave for you. I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.
I'm a slave for you. I won't deny it; I'm not trying to hide it.

She swung her head back, her hair flying out around her, arching her back at the same time so that her breasts were in perfect eye line with Stefan. She moved her body to the beat, gliding her fingertips along his arms, up his biceps, to hold on to his shoulders. Tossing her hair back again, making sure that the strands fell across Stefan's face, teasing him with her scent.

Stefan was entranced by the sexy vision in front of him. The way she slithered up his body while throwing her hair back had him full and solid in seconds, the look on her face was so similar to one of pleasure that he had to take a deep calming breath, not that it did any good. He had imagined that look, fantasized about it too many times to count, dreamt of all the ways he could put that look on her face. Then to be engulfed completely in her scent, her silken strands tickling against his face, made his breathing quicken, and his grip tighten ever more as he tried to hang on to his control.

Baby, don't you wanna, dance upon me,

Caroline did the move she'd been practising. She put her foot behind her other one, and then turned around slowly until her back was to Stefan. She wiggled her ass as she moved lower, until she was just hovering over his lap. She tilted her head back until it was against his shoulder, her fingers sliding over his as she moved against him.

Baby, don't you wanna, dance upon me,

Stefan tilted his face toward where she had hers on his shoulder, brushing his nose through her hair, breathing in her scent, the temptation of her body making him grip the arms of the chair even more. She brushed against his lap, and that was it.

He broke the arms of the chair.

Caroline lost her balance and fell directly into his lap, gasping as she felt the hardness poking against her ass. Stefan was turned on. She could feel how much he wanted her.

I'm a slave for you. I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.

Stefan buried his face into her hair as he started to pant, his hands dropping the broken arms of the chair to grip hold of her hips, growling against her as he felt her move, "Don't move, Caroline."

I'm a slave for you.
I won't deny it; I'm not trying to hide it.

Caroline felt a boldness she'd never felt before come from deep inside her. She chewed on her lip, her breaths coming in pants as she moved her ass back and forth over his solid dick that she could feel through his pants.

"Fuck…" Stefan groaned, tightening his fingers on her hips as she ground against him, unable to resist bucking against her. His eyes closing in agonising bliss, his whole world narrowing down to the feel of Caroline rubbing against his lap.

Caroline's breaths stuttered to a stop as she felt his hands move over her stomach to slide down fleetingly against her pant covered core. She pushed even harder into him as she began throbbing in her desire. She wanted him so bad.

Stefan spread kisses across her shoulder, moaning into her skin as he went back for a second tease of her, the heat against his palm was scorching. He continued down to trace his fingertips along her thighs, the moan she let out went straight to his dick, twitching within the contours of his pants.

Caroline arched her back against him, moaning his name as desire set fire to her veins, "Stefan…"

Stefan's kisses against her skin became more insistent, his need for her reaching boiling point, his hands moving back up her thighs to cross over her stomach. He moaned her name into her ear, "Caroline…"

The music stopped, and the lights came back on. Carol standing on stage, grinning her big fake smile, "That's it, folks. Thank you for coming…" The rest of her words were lost to him.

Stefan had never hated Carol Lockwood more than right this moment for interrupting his time with Caroline.

The harsh light was like cold water to Caroline. What the hell had she been doing practically dry humping her best friend? She jumped off his lap. Her face was flushed as she scrambled for something to say, "I'm gonna go…" She needed to change her clothes, "go change."

She almost vamped away from Stefan.

Stefan frowned as Caroline ran away from him. Not for long. They could no longer hide what was happening between them, and he no longer wanted to. The feel of her against him had awoken those feelings inside of him that he had been keeping locked away. Not anymore. He wanted her too much to just let her go.


Caroline had almost ripped her clothes in her haste to get out of them. Her heart was racing in her chest as she quickly changed back into her white dress and jean jacket, hoping to avoid any of the other girls, she didn't want to know if they'd seen how hot it got between her and Stefan.

She had no clue how it happened so she had no idea how she could explain it to anyone else.

She held her breath as she pushed the door open, only to be pulled out before she could back away. Her eyes widened as she looked startled into Stefan's face. She didn't know what to say to him.

Stefan didn't wait for her to talk, he just took her hand and led her just shy of dragging out the back of the grill to the alleyway. He pushed her up against the wall, slamming both of his hands on the wall beside her head, his gaze intense as he looked at her.

Caroline couldn't breathe, couldn't talk, couldn't even think. The look Stefan was giving her made her insides clench with want, the pure lust in his eyes sent shivers down her spine. He was making her head spin and he wasn't even touching her. She licked her lip, finally able to say his name, though what she would follow it with she didn't know, "Stefan…"

"Caroline…" Stefan returned, finally pushing his body firmly against hers, the gasp she let out as she felt his hardness poking against her stomach made him smirk. He wondered what other sounds he could make her emit.

Caroline clutched at his back, her eyes caught in his, licking her lips in anticipation. She had never wanted anything more than the feel of his lips. She didn't care about consequences at this moment, all she wanted was in front of her. To hell with anything else but Stefan Salvatore.

Stefan leaned in, his intention clear. He never took his eyes off Caroline's, watching with rapt attention the way her eyelids grew heavy with want the nearer he got before finally fluttering closed. As his lips finally met hers he shut his eyes too, giving in completely to the feelings making his whole body feel electrified.

It was even better than either of them had imagined.

Stefan pulled back after a too brief kiss, moving his hands from the wall to cup her cheeks, gazing into those sparkling blue eyes that took his breath away. He searched her eyes, swallowing the lump in his throat, his heart racing nervously within his chest.

Caroline looked deeply into his eyes, amazed to see only want staring back at her. She smiled at him and pulled him back to her lips.

Stefan moaned, pressing her against the wall as he devoured her lips with all the pent up passion inside of him. One of his hands sliding down to grip her waist, as he held her face delicately as their mouths moved passionately against one another.

He wasn't planning to stop kissing her anytime soon.
