Hey guys! So, I am finally back with an update and I honestly can't believe it's been a month since I last updated. Where in the hell is the time going? And we're gonna have a Klaroline phone call after two years of nothing this Friday! My god, I cannot wait.

Oh, and fair warning- this chapter get's a bit steamy (I tried!)

Enjoy!

Once she was in his bedchamber, the blonde's nerves seemed to get the better of her. Looking over at him under her eyelids, she bit down on her bottom lip, not sure if her call was the most intelligent.

"Is my little dove nervous, then?" He questioned as he sauntered over to her and raised her bright blue eyes to meet his own stormy blue-gray ones.

"A little," she confessed and his chuckle reverberated off the blood colored walls.

"There's no reason for that. All you have to look forward to this night is me bringing you pleasure repeatedly. By morning, you'll be so satisfied with my prowess that you will agree to come with me to London."

A blush stained her cheeks and she looked down quickly because she was fairly certain that the Duke did not know that she was a virgin.

After all, how could he when he thought her apart of her father's harem?

"Say something, sweetheart. Give me your name… Allow me to hear your beautiful voice again because I find myself mesmerized."

"Are you always this charming?" She decided to say, not quite understanding why she wanted to know.

"Absolutely," he nodded, giving her a cocky smile that had her smiling in return.

Jutting up her chin with his index finger, his eyes studied her own and then his gaze moved down and stopped at her lips which looked as ripe as a watermelon in summer.

Their lips were inches away from one another and she found herself moving closer. He did the same and when their lips met, it felt as though a heavenly melody played around them.

Knitting her hands around his neck, she pulled him down further and his own hands grasped her hips grounding her front against his erection.

"Do you feel how hard I am for you, sweetheart?" He questioned before he covered her lips with his own.

Moaning in reply, she ran her hands down his back, and up again. It seemed she couldn't get enough of him.

Before she knew it, her legs were wrapped around his waist and he pushed her gently against the nearest wall as he sucked on her pulse point.

Grinding her pelvis against his, she shivered as his erection came into contact with her lower lips. After all, she was not wearing any drawers hence the reason why she felt him so thoroughly.

His lips moved down to her neck and he began sucking on her pulse point. Writhing against him, she held him tighter as he worked her into a frenzy.

Eventually, he carried her to the bed and deposited her on the soft linen sheets right in the middle of the bed.

Then, his fingers moved to the buttons on his trousers and he undid them one by one. Her eyes moved with his fingers and a low chuckle escaped his lips.

"Enjoying my performance, love?" He questioned as he gave her one of his signature smiles.

Thoroughly, she thought to herself.

"Thoroughly, huh?" He asked, his smile growing wider.

"I- I said that out loud, didn't I?" She questioned as a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Mhm," he replied just as he removed his trousers.

Standing without a stitch of clothing, he felt confident in his skin and enjoyed the way her eyes widened as they raked over his hardened erection that was jutting out, begging for attention.

Covering her with his body, his callused hands moved over her flawless, fair skin and she shivered in delight.

Linking her arms around his neck, she pulled him downwards before their lips met. Tangled tongues met one another with a ferocity and lack of patience.

He then began peppering kisses between the valley of her breasts before his mouth found one nipple. As he began sucking on her nipple, she felt the stream of liquid in her nether regions and moaned, unable to put a stop to her sounds.

Sucking on her nipple continuously, he moved his thumb towards her clitorsis and pressed on the little nub as she arched her back.

Moving his mouth to her twin nipple, he gave it the same attention and she writhed under him as she felt his erection on her belly.

"Oh god," she cried out as he inserted a finger into her body. Immediately, her body clamped around his finger and he moved his finger inside of her.

"Something," she said on a breathless moan.

"I know what you want, sweetheart. I'll take care of you." He reassured when he removed his lips from her breasts.

Giving her a kiss on the lips, he inserted another finger inside her and she cried out as he clenched and unclenched his fingers gently.

Then, the blonde moaned aloud as she reached her climax and arched her back, needing to move with his fingers.

Breathing heavily, she shut her eyes and her head lolled to the side, but he stirred her into consciousness when he placed his erection at her entrance.

"Can't," she whispered even though she wanted to know how it would feel to have a man's member inside her body- especially this man who seemed to be perfectly proportioned in every way.

"Can," he reassured as he slid into her body by an inch before he pulled out.

Then, he thrust into her and she cried out as she felt his manhood tear through her maidenhead.

Stopping immediately, he looked down at her with confusion in his eyes and she put a finger to his lips.

"It's nothing," she assured. Nonetheless, he didn't look convinced hence the reason he began pulling out of her.

Clamping her knees around his waist, she stopped him from retreating fully and he watched her with genuine confusion.

"Virgin?" He asked, unable to understand how she was a virgin when she was apart of a sheik's harem…

"I'm new," she lied before she ground her pelvis against him, wanting to feel him inside of her. "Show me how it can feel." She whispered as she pulled his lips down to her own for a long kiss.

A little while later when he was assured that she wanted to continue, he began moving inside her slowly.

"Faster," she begged as she moved against him as she felt herself getting to the precipice that would be her climax.

Taking her word to heart, her began moving faster and soon thereafter he was unable to keep himself from thrusting into her with everything that he had.

Crying out, she reached her edge and he continued moving inside her.

Clenching her knees around his waist tighter, she cried out as she felt herself reaching for another one.

When she came a second time, he could no longer hold himself and spilled his seed into her warm heat.

In the aftermath, he lay down beside her and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her onto his chest.

Soon thereafter, they drifted off to sleep- both of them feeling pleasured and relaxed.

That night, they made love three more times even though Klaus didn't want to hurt her anymore than he had to. However, she refused to take no for an answer and told him that she was willing to deal with the soreness when dawn arrived.

She slipped out of his bed before the house stirred and gave him a kiss on the lips. Sleepily, he responded, but did not awaken.

When she was at the door, she looked back at him with a sad smile on her lips. After all, she would never see him again, but her memories with him would remain…

When she awoke next, the sun was shining brightly and she spotted her mother moving around the bedchamber and pushing curtains slowly aside to allow some light into the room.

"Mama," Caroline said as she moved up on her bed and just as she was going to get up, she grimaced at the soreness between her legs.

"Remain seated, my dear." Her mother urged as she sat down beside her and wrapped her arm around her daughter's shoulder.

"How late is it in the day?" Caroline asked, genuinely curious.

"Just an hour past noon, my love. And from the way you slept in, I take it you took my advice?"

Feeling a blush appearing on her cheeks, she looked away from her mother. However, her mother placed a gentle hand on her cheek before she turned her in her direction.

"Yes," Caroline confessed and a smile appeared on the older woman's lips.

"Do you regret what you did, my dear?"

"No, mama. As a matter of fact, that was the greatest night of my life. I know that I must marry the man papa has chosen for me, but I am relieved that now I at least have something to remember."

"That's wonderful, Caroline." The woman smiled as she gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Now I know that you must feel sore, so I will have a warm bath drawn for you. Oh, and when you are finished, your father wishes to see you in his study."

"Why?" Caroline asked as a sudden nervousness came over her wondering if her lover found out of her true identity…

"It is nothing bad," she reassured. "I'm assuming it has to do with your betrothal… Your father wishes you to marry already."

"Has he tired of me so, then?" The blonde questioned as she ran her fingers through her curls.

"It is not that, Caroline. You know him- he always wishes everything to be in an orderly fashion and he believes that the time has come for you to tie yourself to the man."

"But I don't want to marry my betrothed. He's disgusting and I find him revolting. However am I supposed to share his bed after the night I had?"

"A woman's job is to marry well and have children nowadays. It is unfortunate that a woman does not have the freedom to express herself, but that is how it is." Her mother said to her as she pulled on the bell.

A couple of minutes later, the housekeeper showed up and Caroline's mother instructed the older woman to have a bath prepared.

When that was done, she stood up before she gave the younger woman a kiss on the cheek.

"All will be well if you just believe, Caroline. Never lose hope and know that I am here for you always. Now, shall I help you with your bath?"

"No, thank you." She shook her head. "I'd like to have some time alone to think of all that has occurred."

"Of course," she nodded before she departed, leaving Caroline alone in her bedchamber with only her thoughts for company.

As evening approached, Caroline's nerves began to skyrocket. After all, after her soothing bath, she went into her father's study with an argument at the ready. However, he did not speak of her betrothal, but instead asked her to join him and his acquaintance for dinner. Thankfully, her mother would be there as well…

A soft knock sounded on the door of her bedchamber and she called whomever it was to enter.

Her mother looked magnificent in her lavender-colored gown and her dark hair cascaded down her back in smooth curls. Nowadays, it seemed that her mother no longer wore the head covering that she ought to have. Caroline, however, had to since she remained unwed.

"Mama, must I wear my head covering? After all, papa's acquaintance already saw me without it…"

"You must, love. Or else your father may figure out what transpired between you and that young man- we don't want that, do we?"

"We don't," she agreed as her mother helped her with the buttons on her light pink gown.

When the two women were ready, they hugged one another tightly before they moved in the direction of the grand staircase.

Descending the stairs hand in hand, the sound of male voices carried throughout the first floor. Just as they arrived at the dining room doors, Caroline stopped in her tracks.

"Mama, I cannot do this." She whispered as she felt the drumming of her heartbeat in her ears.

"You can, Caroline. You can and you will." Her mother reassured, but the younger woman shook her head in denial. "For me, Caroline. Walk through those doors with me and remain brave."

Shutting her eyes in order to block out all sound, she took a couple of deep breaths and found herself becoming composed.

"Okay," she murmured in response and they continued walking.

Once inside the dining room, Caroline tried to keep her eyes southward, but couldn't. Immediately, she found her lover's gaze and felt the heat rising up her body.

The recognition in her eyes had her wanting to bolt, but she remained in her spot.

Nonetheless, she felt his shocked gaze to her toes and looked over at her father, needing to get her body under control...

There you go, darlings! So, I know this chapter isn't as long as I could have made it, but it get's interesting from here on out! Get ready for one hell of a ride, lovelies :)
