The next day after breakfast Stasia called Caroline, she really needed to talk to someone about Kol.

"Hello," Caroline answered.

"Caroline."

"Stasia, having fun in New York?" she asked.

"So far, Kol took me on a carriage ride through central park and to see Phantom of the Opera."

"So what's up?"

"I…Kol…The thing is…"

"Stasia just say it."

"Its getting more difficult to find reasons not to sleep with Kol," she told him.

"You want to sleep with Kol?"

"Yes I do that's not the problem."

"Ok what is?"

"Well its my first time and I'm nervous about it," she admitted.

"Have you talked to Kol about this?" Caroline asked.

"Kind of," she said.

"Ok Kol actually does love you,"

"I know," she said.

"And you love him to and you have to be honest with him."

"I know," she sighed. "I'll talk to him." she told her.

"Have fun!" Caroline said. "And if you're nervous about telling him you're ready show him." she added. "Wear the outfit we bought when we went shopping.

"I didn't bring it with me," she said.

"Well ask Kol to take you to the mall and buy another one."

"I'll think about it." She told her as she looked up and saw Kol walk in the bedroom. "Kol's back I have to go," she said.

"Good luck."

"Bye Caroline," she said and hung up the phone.

"Hey," she said.

"Hey princess," he smiled and walked over and sat on the bed with her. Stasia noticed he had a small bag in his hand. "I have something for you," he said opened the bag and took to things out of it. "Charms for your bracelet," he told her. "A mask for Phantom of the Opera," he said showing her a half mask like the Phantom wore in Phantom of the Opera. "And an apple for New York," he said showing her a charm shaped like an apple, it was red and had New York written on it.

"Kol I love them," she said and kissed him. Kol put them on her bracelet before kissing her lips again. Stasia slid her arms around him pulling herself closer to him. Kol placed his hands on her hips as Stasia ran her hands under his shirt, Kol felt her fingers tracing his abs before she started unbuttoning his shirt, Kol kissed her neck as she undid the buttons and pushed it off his shoulders. Stasia pressed her lips to his as she felt Kol tug her shirt up and she pulled away long enough for him to pull it over her head before she kissed him again. Kol gently pushed her down on the bed moving on top of her. He placed his lips against her neck as Stasia ran her hands across his back as he continued to kiss her.

"Anastasia," he whispered as he pulled away. He looked in her eyes, looking for something telling him to stop. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," she whispered and Kol kissed her lips again and reached behind her to undo her bra. He slid it off her shoulders and tossed it to the floor. Kol looked down at her body before kissing her lips and trailing kisses down her body, he placed a kiss on her stomach before undoing the button on her jeans and sliding them over her hips leaving her in a pair of black lace panties. He smiled and ran his hand down her leg and placed kisses up her leg, across her stomach above her panty line before placing kisses down her other leg. He then pulled away and slid her panties down her legs and tossed them behind him.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered and leaned down and kissed her lips. Kol ran his hands over her body tracing her scars with his fingers before replacing his fingers with his lips, gently kissing her scars before running his tongue over them. Stasia's moans filled the rooms as his lips touched hers. She ran her hands across his abs stopping at his jeans undoing the button and sliding the zipper down before pushing them over his hips and down his legs, Kol gave them a kick and they landed on the floor behind him.. Kol kissed her again before pulling away.

"Princess I'll try not to hurt you," he said softly.

"I trust you Kol," she said and she felt his lips touch hers and he began to push inside her as gently as he could, knowing it would hurt her, he felt her grip his arms tight and heard her gasp in pain, he heard a muffled "ow," from her and looked down and saw a tear running down her cheek. He leaned down and kissed it away as he continued to push inside of her. He stopped when his length was all the way inside and gave her a few seconds to adjust before he began to slowly ease out before slamming back inside her. Her grip on his arms hadn't loosened any and he knew she was still in pain for the moment as he continued to move in and out of her, he could tell when it stopped being painful and became pleasurable for her, her grip on his arms loosened and her moans filled the room as she raised her hips to meet his thrusts.

"Kol," she moaned. god," she moaned. "faster," she said and Kol smiled and wrapped her legs around his waist and gripped her hips tightly as he sped up his movements, loving the moans that were coming out of Stasia's mouth and he gripped her hips tighter sliding his hands down to grasp her legs as she tightened them around his waist until Kol shakily fell onto the bed next to her.

Stasia must have fallen asleep because when she woke up she remembered what happened with Kol. She turned to look for him and realized she was in pain.

"Ow," she said and looked for Kol. She saw him across the room, shirtless in a pair of loose fitting pants. He was so perfect. "Kol," she said and he turned to her and immediately ran over.

"Princess," he said. "I'm so sorry I hurt you," he apologized.

"Kol what are you talking about?" she asked. "I'm sore but that's normal right?"

"Yeah," he sighed. "But you have bruises," he told her. "And I'm the one that put them there."

"Kol its…"

"Its not ok," he told her. "You have bruises on your hips, thighs, arms and I did that," he whispered. "I'm so sorry Anastasia."

"Kol, you don't have to apologize," she told him.

"Maybe a hot bath will help you," he said. "I'll go get it ready," he added and gently kissed her forehead and disappeared into the bathroom. Stasia let out a sigh and waited for him. He returned moments later and scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bathroom placing her gently in the bathtub. Kol picked up the washcloth and gently washed her face before washing the rest of her body. Kol took her hands in his and pulled her up. His eyes traveled to the bruises on her body and he closed his eyes and shook his head as he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body and lifted her out of the bathtub and carried her into the bedroom and sat her on the bed.

"Clothes," he said and went to her suitcase and pulled out a t-shirt, pajama pants and panties and handed them to her. Stasia got dressed and at back down on the bed. Kol sat beside her.

"Princess I…."

"Don't keep apologizing Kol, its not like you hurt me purposely."

"I know Anastasia but…."

"Kol stop," she told him. "you keep trying to apologize," she added. "You don't need to, unless you regret what happened."

"Of course not!" he exclaimed. "I just don't like that I'm the one that left bruises on you," he whispered. "Alaric is going to kill me."

"Well what happens between us is nobody's business but ours Kol," she told him.

"My blood would heal your bruises," he told her.

"I'm sure it would," Stasia replied.

"Will you drink it?" he asked hopefully.

"Will that make you feel better?" she asked him.

"No but it will make you feel better," he told her and Stasia looked over at him and let out a sigh.

"Ok," she agreed and Kol let out a relieved sigh and bit into his wrist and moved closer to Stasia. He held his wrist out to her and Stasia took his wrist in her hands and brought it to her lips. Kol only let her drink a few seconds before he pulled his wrist from her mouth.

"Better?" he asked.

"Yeah," she sighed and Kol leaned over and touched his lips to hers.

"I love you," Kol told her.

"I love you to Kol," she said.

A few hours later Kol and Stasia were watching a movie. They two of them were on the couch together. Stasia was curled up next to Kol with her head against his chest.

"Kol," she said. "Can we go to the mall?" she asked.

"You want to go shopping?" he asked surprised.

"But not for you to buy me anything," she told him. "I want to pick up something."

"But I want to buy you stuff."

"Well its for you and you can't buy your own gift."

"Ok," he agreed. "Would you like to go today?" he asked.

"You don't have anything planned?" she asked him.

"No," he said. "If you want to get ready we can leave when you want."

"Ok," she said and jumped off the couch and went to change. A few minutes later Stasia was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.

"I'm ready," she told him.

"Lets go then," Kol said and the two of them walked out.

When they walked inside the mall Stasia turned to Kol.

"Ok I'll meet you at the food court in two hours," she told him.

"Anastasia," he said.

"I'll be fine Kol," she assured him. "I'll call you if I get done before then."

"Ok princess," he agreed and leaned down and touched his lips to hers and the two of them went their separate ways.

Stasia found the store that had what she wanted for Kol. It may be kind of a stupid gift and he probably wouldn't like it at all but she just really wanted to get him something. She then left that store and found a store where she could buy something sexy to wear for Kol. She decided to go for white this time, when she went shopping with Caroline she had bought black. After looking around a few minutes she found something she liked and bought it and then went to meet Kol in the food court.

When she got to the food court she looked around for Kol. She spotted a few girls flirting with some guy who was sitting at a table and shook her head as she continued to look for Kol. When she looked back she noticed the guy those girls were flirting with was Kol. Stasia marched over there and sat down across from Kol.

"Sorry I'm late," she said. "But I was in the store buying sexy lingerie to wear for my boyfriend," she said.

"Anastasia," Kol said.

"He's your boyfriend?" one of the girls asked.

"Yes, next time make sure a guy is available before you throw yourself at him and flirt with him," she told them. "You can leave now." She added and they walked away.

"Princess," Kol said and she crossed her arms over her chest. "You know that those girls or any girl is no threat to our relationship," he told her.

"I know Kol," she said. "But you didn't have to let them flirt with you."

"I told them I had a girlfriend that I was in love with but that seemed to make them want me more," he told her. "You know how much I love you."

"I know Kol and I love you to." She said.

"Now did you really buy sexy lingerie to wear for me?" he asked as he eyed her bag.

"Well you'll just have to wait and see," she told him. "Now I'm hungry," she told him.

After eating Kol and Stasia went back to their room. Stasia took her bags and hid one of them at the bottom of her suitcase. She brought the smaller one with her to the living room and sat on the couch with Kol.

"So I have something for you and I know you'll probably hate it and think it's really stupid but I'm giving it to you anyway." She said and pulled something out of a bag, it was a necklace with a key on it. She handed it to Kol and he looked at it and noticed it had the letter I engraved on it.

"Ok, so it's a boyfriend, girlfriend necklace," she told him and she pulled her necklace out and Kol noticed it was in the shape of a heart and it looked like the key he had would fit perfectly in it. "The key fits perfectly in the heart." She told him. "You think its stupid.," she groaned.

"That's not it," he said. "I just….I usually don't receive gifts." He admitted. "I do like it." He said and Stasia smiled and took the necklace from him and put it on him. Then Kol took the other half from her and put her necklace on her. She felt Kol's lips touch her neck and she turned to look at him.

"Thank you," Kol said softly.

"You do so much for me Kol, this is nothing compared to all that," she told him. "I love you."

"I love you to Anastasia and you don't have to buy me stuff," he told her.

"And you don't have to buy me stuff either Kol," she told him. "I don't need lots of flowers or jewelry to make me happy." She told him.

"You've mentioned that before," he said. "But you like everything I've given you right?"

"Well yeah I have."

"Ok then, stop complaining," he teased and leaned over and kissed her. "Because you don't have to buy me anything, I'm going to continue to buy things for you because I want to and you'll continue to complain about it."

"Kol," she said and he glanced over at her. "Fine." She sighed. "So do you have anything planned for us for the rest of the day?"

"No," he said.

"Good because I'm going to change into my pajamas and watch a movie or something."

"Ok, I'll change to and when you're ready for dinner I'll order something and have it brought up." He told her.

"Sounds good," she said and leaned over and kissed him before grabbing her pajamas and going into the bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom Kol saw she had on her pajamas and let out a sigh.

"Damn I thought you might have actually bought something sexy to wear for me."

"Kol even if I did you wouldn't see me in it tonight," she told him as she let her eyes travel Kol's bare chest. Kol had changed into a pair of loose fitting pajama pants but hadn't put on a shirt yet. "And I never actually said I bought something sexy to wear for you." She told him and walked past him into the living room. Kol followed her grabbing his shirt and putting it on before sitting beside her on the couch.

"So did you buy something…."

"Well Kol if you're a good boy you might find out before we leave New York."

"I've never been a good boy," he told her before he leaned over and touched his lips to hers.

"You remember how not that long ago we talked about me not being able to be compelled?"

"I remember and we also tested it."

"So I was wondering are they're other things besides vampires, witches and werewolves?"

"Yes there are and there are ways to find out if you are any of them," he told her. "We can talk to your mom when she comes to visit and tries to take you away from me."

"I'm not going anywhere Kol," she promised.

"I know but if she doesn't know we can talk to your dad."

"I don't know where he is Kol," she told him.

"We'll find him. We can talk to Alaric and my family is really good and finding people who don't want to be found when we need to."

"I know Kol," she whispered. "Thank you."

"Princess you never have to thank me for anything," he told her and leaned over and kissed her lips.

After the two of them watched a movie Kol ordered dinner for Stasia and then he left to go get blood. When he returned he found Stasia lying across the bed reading a book. He walked in and laid down next to her. Stasia closed her book and threw it on the ground.

"You know you could have taken my blood and then you wouldn't have had to leave." She told him.

"Well I did that once and it was so difficult to pull away, I don't want to risk it again."

"But you did pull away," she reminded him.

"I know I did, but I may not next time," he told her. Stasia moved closer to him folding her hands under her chin and laying her chin on top of her hands.

"Kol," she said . "When you were human you were in love with a girl named Maria and you said you probably would have married her."

"Yes I probably would have."

"Is that still something you want to do, get married?"

"Well I'm going to outlive most people, so I never really thought about it since then." He asked. "You want to get married some day?"

"I don't know, I've thought about it," she told him. "There's no need to worry about that now." She added as she turned over.

"Anastasia," he moving to the other side of her, lying down so they were facing each other. "Everything about you surprised me. I was content to never fall in love again and you knew that but you somehow made me fall in love with you and I despise humans usually." He told her. "You were different, you never tried to change me and I never wanted anyone the way I want you or how I want you. Being in love as a human is different than being in love as a vampire," he told her. "I've been in love as both now." He sighed. "Love is a thousand times more intense as a vampire."

"Heightened emotions," Stasia said.

"Yes and because of that you have the ability to hurt me in a way no one else does because I love you so much." He said as he laid his hand against her cheek.

"Kol I love you to and I would never intentionally hurt you."

"I know." He said.

"My life was very boring before I moved here and met you."

"I'm sure it was." Kol smiled. "So tell me how you found out about vampires?" he asked.

"Uncle Ric was out one day and I accidentally invited a vampire inside and he attacked me," she told Kol and she heard him growl. "If Damon hadn't shown up he would have killed me." She added.

"Well I never thought I'd be glad a Salvatore was around but if he hadn't saved you I would have never met you."

"And you're happy you met me?"

"Of course I am princess." He told her and she smiled.

"In case I forget to tell you I had a great time this week," she told him.

"The week is not over yet," he said.

"That doesn't matter, I've had fun so far," she told him and Kol rolled over, lying down on his back. Stasia touched her lips to his before laying her head on his stomach and stretching out. Kol let out a sigh and started running his fingers through her hair.

"Did you want to go somewhere tomorrow?" Kol asked her.

"I don't care," she answered. "Is there somewhere you want to go?" she asked him.

"Not really," he answered. "Did you want to do something?"

"Not really," she said. "We can go anywhere you want to go or nowhere if that's what you want."

"Ok I have an idea," he said. "But I need to make a call," he added.

"You're really going to make me move?" she asked.

"Sorry princess," he said and Stasia sat up and Kol got off the bed and went into the living room. Stasia picked her book up off the floor and opened it and started reading where she left off before Kol came back. When Kol walked back in the room he saw her reading her book. He sat down on the bed beside her. Stasia looked over at him and then back to her book. She finished the page she was on before throwing her book to the ground and sitting up.

"So did your idea work out?" she asked.

"Actually it did so we have plans tomorrow night and during the day." He said. "During the day we'll be doing some walking so dress comfortably. Tomorrow night I'll take you to dinner before what I have planned."

"Ok Kol," she agreed.

"No complaining or arguing?" he asked.

"Not yet," she smiled and he leaned over and touched his lips to hers. "And it doesn't do any good anyway because you're going to do what you want."

"So true," he smirked and leaned over and kissed her.

"So where are we going?" she asked.

"Well during the day I thought I would take you to the zoo," he began. "You like Animals right?"

"Yes Kol," she smiled.

"Good and tomorrow night you are going to have to wait and see," he told her and she smiled.

"Ok Kol," she agreed.

"Now you should get some sleep," he told her.

"Alright," she agreed and got off the bed and pulled the blanket back and crawled under it.

"Good night princess," he whispered.

"Good night Kol."
