Klaus kept walking while holding onto Caroline's hand. He couldn't see anything, all he saw was red; his vision was blurry and Caroline's voice kept echoing behind him.
"Klaus…" It echoed. He kept walking until he reached the side of the bar; he let go of her hand and then he paced a few more times before he placed both of his hands against the wall and he let out a few breaths. "Klaus…" He now heard her as he felt her touch his shoulder carefully. He peaked to look at her worried face before turning to face her.
"Sorry, love. I don't know what overcame me, just hearing him speak to you in that way just made my blood boil." His fist clenched again as he began to relive that situation. Caroline took a hold of his fist, placing both of her hands on it as she examined how bloody they looked. She then dug inside her purse to find some disinfecting wipes, taking one out and looking him straight in the eyes.
"This might sting," She added as she began to clean up his hand. Klaus winced at the touch trying hard not to move his hand away from her. Caroline cleaned it as much as she could before she looked up at him. She let out a breath and lightly smiled. "Thank you."
"You don't need to apologize, sweetheart. Honestly, what type of man speaks to a woman that way?" He asked rhetorically. He still could hear Tyler call Caroline a skank, over and over, replaying rent free in his brain.
Caroline shook her head as she pierced her lips. Tyler was way out of line, but she knew that she wasn't being completely faithful to him. She has been lying to herself about this undeniable attraction she has to Klaus that isn't just physical attraction.
"I swear I wasn't lying when I said that he was an amazing guy. He was!" She stated. "I guess, I just," She trailed off, turning to look out on the street. "Well, it doesn't matter, um, but I am sorry for his behavior. He started it and it was all because of me." Klaus wanted to ask what she didn't want to finish saying, but he thought he would let it pass for right now and then ask later on.
"No worries, love. This wasn't your fault, he wanted to get physical and that is completely on him and on me. You aren't at fault," He looked down at his knuckles before he looked back up to her. "Do you want to call it a night?" He hoped she would say no but he would understand if she just wanted to go home because of what happened. Caroline scratched her head before she shook it.
"It's still early. We can maybe pick up some pizza, beer and head back to my place like old times," Klaus quirked an eyebrow that made Caroline chuckle. "Of course, before the sex I mean!"
"I would like that," Klaus responded as they walked behind the bar to Klaus' car.
Caroline was holding the sixer of beer as Klaus held a box of pizza, some breadsticks and other snacks they had gotten. They were catching up on their case, really engrossed in the topic that they didn't notice a drunk Tyler knocking on the door. Before they reached her apartment, they stopped and just stared at him.
"What are you doing here?" Caroline asked, getting a little closer to Klaus. Tyler turned his head to look at them before he chuckled.
"Of course, why did I even think otherwise." He spat.
"I suggest you just keep walking." Klaus threatened as his hands tightened on the pizza box. Caroline noticed the tension and she gently touched his bicep, trying really hard to ignore the fact of how hot Klaus looked at that moment. She wouldn't admit it to anyone but she felt even more attracted to him after him defending her 'honor'.
"Please Tyler, just go home. There is nothing else to talk about with you. You came to your own conclusions and insulted me in front of a whole bar. Go sleep it off."
He looked between Klaus and Caroline before he shook his head and walked past them. "Fuck you." He started slurring as he kept walking. Caroline held onto Klaus, trying hard to make sure he wouldn't drop everything and jump Tyler right at that moment.
"I know it's not ok what he just said, but I appreciate you not acting on it." Caroline responded.
"It is taking all of me not to." Klaus breathed out before he inhaled a deep breath, closing his eyes and then turning to look at her. He softly smiled at her. "Let's continue shall we?"
Caroline smiled back before they went into her apartment. They set everything on the coffee table as they sat on the couch. They were already debating on what movie to watch and they couldn't really decide. Caroline then came up with the idea of putting a few of the movie choices on paper, rolling it up and placing it in a cup to choose. The movie that was picked was 'Pitch Perfect', Caroline's choice of movie to begin with.
She put the movie on and then they began to eat, drink and watch, just like they used. They would comment on the movie here and there, then they would stay quiet, just sitting comfortably right next to each other. Caroline eventually got comfortable enough to put her legs on top of his, without thinking. She continued to watch the movie but Klaus could only continue to watch her. When she would turn to look at him, he would immediately cough and turn back to watch the movie. Caroline wasn't dumb, she knew that he was staring, but she didn't say anything. She just wanted to enjoy this night that they had.
When the movie ended, she placed her legs down, yawned as she stretched her arms over her head. "Such a good movie huh?" She commented.
Klaus nodded as he took the final sip of his beer. "I can't really say it wasn't. The comedy was top tier." They shared a laugh as they kept looking at each other. Caroline was the first to look away but Klaus just continued to stare. He missed her; even if there wasn't a chance of having sex, he just wanted to be close to her.
"Can I ask you something?" She then asked, bringing him out of his thoughts. Caroline then turned to look back at him. Klaus felt like he was short of breath with that question, What could she want to ask?
"Um, sure? Is it something bad?" He asked. Caroline smiled at him, nervously, before she shook her head.
"It isn't bad, I just have had this thought in my head." She added. As she scratched the back of her head she sighed and began her question, "That day in your office, did you really mean everything you said?" She pushed a strand of her hair as she moved her whole body to be looking at him. "I mean, I know you were pretty upset with me, but I just wanted to ask."
Klaus finally looked away from her as he sat up. He had forgotten that little encounter they had in his office in which he basically told her that he was in love with her. He can't really say those feelings have changed but he doesn't want to look like a fool again.
"I-" He stammered, licking his lips, trying to find the correct words. "Well-" He ran his fingers through his hair.
"I'm sorry, I just can't get those words out of my head." She confessed. "If I'm being honest, I haven't been able to get you out of my head either." Now Klaus was intrigued.
"You haven't?"
"No," She replied before she looked away from him. She was now fiddling with her thumbs, feeling like she had a lump in her throat. "I wanted to let you know that the day you told me the same thing. I-" She breathed out. "I just ran into one of your girls…Hayley and,"
"Trust me she is nothing." He interrupted her as he got closer to her. Caroline inhaled a sharp breath as she felt him closer before she turned to look at him. They kept staring at one another, switching from eyes to lips, not one or the other daring to move or look away. Klaus began to move slowly, closer to her until he was mere inches away from her. "Tell me to stop," He whispered before he felt her close the gap. The kiss was gentle at first, both savoring each second of the kiss. Klaus' hands came up to grab the sides of her head as he deepened the kiss. Caroline moaned against his lips, moving her whole body to hover above him now. He began to move to rest his back on the couch allowing her full access to straddle him now. Caroline then moved back, pushing the strands of hair that were covering her face, behind her ears as she smiled down at him.
"Not saying that I want to stop but," She leaned back in to kiss him. "Before we have sex again I really want to know where we stand." Klaus smiled back up to her as he firmly gripped her hips, moving her to lay on her back so that he was now hovering on top of her.
"I'll gladly stop, love, if you say the word." He started before he kissed her neck. "But isn't it obvious? You're mine," He kissed the other side of her neck. "And I'm yours." He then took her lips with his, pushing his tongue inside. Caroline arched her back at the action, snaking her arms around his neck, keeping him close to her. She slowly moved her hands down his back and took his shirt off. Klaus' hands freely roamed her body as they stopped at the hem of her dress. He slowly began to push it up, softly touching her inner thigh in the process, making Caroline moan loudly against his lips. He smirked against her lips as his hand gently brushed against her stomach, moving down at each kiss. "Fantastic, you're ready for me." He breathed out as he touched her clit. He massaged it, only moving faster with her approval.
Caroline had missed his touch. Their sex life was amazing for the simple fact that they helped understand each other but now that there were feelings between them, it simply felt much better.
Her hands came up to take his hair in her hands as she felt herself climax. Klaus smiled down at her before he pushed her dress off of her, fully exposing her. "You will never cease to amaze me, love." The look he was giving her was one that Caroline had never felt any guy give her. He was hungry for her but he was also admiring, not just because he wanted to fuck but because he wanted to take her all in.
His hand cupped her left breast as he sucked the right one. Caroline twisted her legs around his waist keeping him down as she continued to moan next to his ear. She then scratched his back as she heavily whispered, "Let me show you how much I missed you." Klaus stopped his movements as he looked up at her. His jaw clenched before he kissed her, moving them both so that she was straddling him again. Caroline kissed him along his jawline, neckline, down to his chest and then finally to the bottom of his stomach. She unbuckled his pants, pushing them down, revealing his hardrock cock to her. She devilishly smiled back at him as she took his shaft in her hands. She licked from bottom to top, not fully taking him yet. She just kept repeating that action until she heard him grunt.
"You better take it before I make you," He stated, grabbing a full hand of her hair. He gently pulled at it as Caroline finally fully took him in. He helped her move down, loving seeing the sight of her sucking on his dick, especially with her back arched down, fully exposing her ass to him. Caroline kept sucking until he stopped her. "Come here." He just added, pulling her up and positioning her to his shaft. Caroline's breath hitched as he entered her. "Fuck" was all that he said as he pulled her closer to him, capturing her lips again. Caroline began to roll her hips on top of him, loving how it was making him moan through her lips. He then parted just to give her breasts some attention.
"I'm close," She hummed as she let her head fall back, closing her eyes. Klaus firmly gripped her hips and began to move faster inside her, taking control. When he felt her legs shake, he repositioned them so that he was on top. He kept thrusting inside her before he pulled out and came all over her stomach. He quickly grabbed his discarded shirt to wipe her down before pulling her to lay on top of him. "That was just-" She lightly kissed his chest. "-amazing."
"I will never get tired of having you, love."
"I hope that is true." She whispered, wanting to seem like it was lighthearted but she was honestly terrified. She had never felt this way before, he was everything to her and it was scary. She doesn't think she could survive it if they didn't work out.
"Don't worry sweetheart." He kissed the top of her head as he hugged her tightly. "I am completely smitten by you. There is no way I am letting you go again." She smiled against his chest as she let her tiredness take over her. Klaus soon thereafter fell asleep, holding on to her as if his life depended on it. She was the only thing that was good in his life at the moment. She made him forget about his crazy family.
His crazy family that were currently still in his apartment.
Caroline opened her eyes as a little speck of sunlight hit her face. She rubbed her eyes as she stretched in her bed. She tried to reach out for Klaus but found an empty space. She immediately sat up, confused, looking around her room. She then looked down, noticing her bare chest and took her blankets up to cover herself.
Did I dream? Did last night not happen? Where is he? What happened?
Were all fair things to ask because where was Klaus? She couldn't have possibly made it all up in her head, right? She swung her legs to the side, moving to touch the floor as she stood up. She grabbed the robe she left on her chair, put it on and then walked into her bathroom. She did her whole morning routine of brushing her teeth, cleaning her face and brushing her hair. Once she was content, she walked out of her room. She looked around to see that her dress was on the floor right next to the couch. The pizza box was laying there on the coffee table, empty as well as 4 empty beer bottles. She slowly walked around it, trying to find Klaus' clothes, but they weren't there.
"Where is he?" She whispered before she heard the door open, and there he came in with two coffee cups in hand and a paper bag. He smiled at her, showing off his dimples.
"Good morning love, you look ravishing." He started walking towards her, pecking her lips before handing her the paper bag and coffee cup. "Coffee?" Caroline was in a bit of a shock at the moment that all she could do was slowly sip the coffee he had just handed to her. After the hot liquid hit her tongue, she snapped out of it and let out a loud breath.
"You seriously made me think I had just imagined last night." Klaus chuckled as he took a seat on the couch. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down to sit on his lap.
"You really think your imagination was going to make you feel this sore?" He replied while caressing her thigh that was completely exposed to him. Caroline shivered at his touch, sending goosebumps all over her body. She bit her lip before she moved close to him, giving him a single kiss.
"You got me there," She whispered. "I just hated waking up and not being able to just lay next to you." Klaus kissed her again, moving his hand a little bit more up her thigh. Caroline slightly bit his lower lip, making him growl.
"We can definitely go back to bed." He breathed out in barely a whisper.
"Oh, I don't know if we should," She replied, standing up from his lap. "If we go back, I won't want to leave." She added as she slowly walked away from him. "But then again, I don't have anything planned-" She let her robe fall. "-you can join or watch, up to you." She smiled before she walked to the room. Klaus didn't think twice, he practically sprinted into the room.
Caroline laid on Klaus' chest as she thought about everything they had been through. It had been a weird few months. They became friends, then friends with benefits, then enemies to a couple?
Something kept ringing in her mind since they admitted feelings to one another. Something she didn't want to bring up, but her neurotic mind wouldn't let her be if she didn't. She lifted her head to look up at him. He smiled at her, putting the remote down since he still couldn't find something good to put on for them to watch.
"Do you remember when we became friends with benefits?" She asked. Klaus furrowed his eyebrows before he rested his hand in her hair.
"Well, how could I possibly forget that night." He replied before kissing the top of her head. "Why?"
"Um, well, do you remember what we bet?" Caroline added as she planted a small but sweet kiss on his bare chest. Klaus made a thoughtful look before his eyes widened. How could he forget the bet that they had made. If one of them were to catch feelings then the other would have the opportunity to slap the other 5 times from here until the end of times. If he remembered correctly, he was the one that admitted to having feelings for her first. Would she actually go through with it?
"Unfortunately, I do." He replied in distaste. "Are you going to slap me, love?"
She giggled as she began to shake her head. "Of course not, I just find it funny how sure we were that we weren't going to catch any feelings." She moved to reach his lips, capturing them in a slow and sensual way. "But you definitely can slap me during sex." Klaus tightened his grip on her as he deepened their kiss, pushing her to the side, pinning her hands down on the bed as he hovered on top of her.
"You little vixen." He hissed before he entered her. Caroline gasped as she brought him closer to her. He lifted her leg up to allow him better access as he began to move faster and harder inside her. The last two times they had sex, it was much more intimate and passionate. This time was very passionate and nasty, something that she loved. Klaus was always going by his animalistic features, he knew he could have his way with her and there would be no repercussions.
Many people that see Caroline would believe that she was vanilla in bed, but Caroline was a complete freak when it came to pleasure. The dirtier it was for her, the better the outcome and Klaus enjoyed it as well.
He was going to enjoy being Caroline's man.
