Chapter 8

Klaus watched Caroline sleep as the sun rose behind his curtains. The light was dim, but it highlighted just the right areas of her to make her look even more angelic than he usually saw her, if that was possible. She was curled in his arms all night, sometimes snuggling closer to him in her sleep. Now Klaus was lying on his back, and Caroline had her body as close as it could get to his with her head on his chest and her arm across him, holding his lean, muscular body. She had a small smile on her face while she dreamt, and he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He was completely in awe of everything that happened, and he was still trying to figure out how to handle it all. He was so infatuated with this bold, sexy vampire, but he knew that being with him probably wasn't the best idea for her safety…or her happiness. All he wanted to do was make her happy, but with his family and his reputation that probably wouldn't be the easiest task.

Klaus was frowning, letting his pessimistic thought get the better of him when Caroline finally woke up. Klaus broke his chain of thought when he felt her fingers move and send a tickle through his side making him smile and glance over at her again. She pulled herself closer to him, moving her body to lay on top of his, seeming like a perfect fit. She looked up at him and gave flashed him one of her priceless smiles that made him so happy and kissed him.

"Good morning," her hands moved up to grasp the sides of his face and she didn't have too many covers on, which gave Klaus a view of her flawless body right up to the arch of her back. He didn't say a word as he turned her over onto her back and kissed her. She loved waking up like this, it had never happened before. With anyone else she just woke up and got ready for the day, but she'd never once spent all day in bed with someone, and she couldn't be more surprised if someone had told her a month ago, hell a week ago, that it would be with Klaus.

"Good morning, sweetheart," Klaus woke her up with a deep kiss. His tongue danced with hers and he could taste sweetness on her lips, she had a unique beauty in the morning. She didn't need makeup, he thought she was even more beautiful without it; and her breath was nothing like other girls who insisted on brushing their teeth because they thought their breath smelled bad. Caroline had no hesitation in breathing all of him in, and her breath was crisp and tasted just right. She let him feel her still-naked body, giving her goose bumps that he smiled at as he felt them. She could feel his smile on her lips, which put exactly the right amount of pressure in their kiss. This was the very first time that she slept completely naked with someone else for the entire night, and she was a little bit self conscious, but he got rid of that when he pulled his lips away from her and spoke, "You're so beautiful in the morning, love," she opened her eyes and looked at his handsome face hovering above her.

"Thank you," she said shyly, "but I should probably get up and take a shower to refresh myself," she thought she knew what he would say, offering to shower with her, but he didn't, and to her surprise she was slightly disappointed.

"Alright, well I'll get us some breakfast, feel free to use whatever it is that you need," he kissed her forehead and stood up, giving Caroline the perfect view of his toned, absolutely wonderful body. He'd spent his life well building up just the right amount of muscle. She couldn't help but smile, laying there watching as he pulled on a pair of boxers. He looked back at her and saw her watching him, "Like what you see?" He asked, with a smile playing on his lips.

"Oh I love what I see," she said, almost giggling, and he laughed before flashing to her side and pulling her up out of bed with enough force to make her feel like she flew into his arms.

"Come on, love," he kissed her every step of the way as he walked to the bathroom, turning on the shower for her and starting to pull himself away. She kept pulling him back, wanting more of his sweet kisses. He finally pulled away and saw her show a soft pout, silently telling him that she wanted him in that shower with her. "I'll be here when you get out," he said, and he left the bathroom.

Caroline felt the water; he had set it to the perfect temperature. She liked it steamy, hot enough so that it almost burnt her skin and gave her a bittersweet feeling. She stepped in the shower and just got done washing up when she heard the bathroom door open and she smiled. "It's about time," she said as a cool breeze crept into the shower from Klaus opening the doors and stepping in with her. He turned her around and picked her up, holding her back against the cool wall and placing his arms around her smooth, soft thighs. She gasped at the difference of hot and cold on her skin.

"I couldn't resist any longer, it was too tempting knowing that you were in here," Klaus immediately showered her with kisses all along her jaw line and neck. The shower was completely full of steam and it only got hotter with their slick bodies against each other. Caroline had that butterflies-in-her-stomach sensation and she really began to feel herself growing to like this man.

"Take me, Klaus," He stopped kissing her and looked in her eyes; he couldn't believe that there he was, an original vampire with this baby vamp and she could turn him on with just a look or a few intimate words.

"As you wish," he lifted her up and placed her slowly down onto him, making them both let out small moans at the deep sensation. They were getting more comfortable with each other, and they were still gentle with each other, but this time things were hotter, sexier, and yet all the same amount of personal. They let out sighs of pleasure and Caroline let him have control, only able to hold him and slam her hand against the steam-covered glass wall when she came. Their kisses got better each time, only increasing in passion. After they showered, Klaus dried her off and covered her with a warm towel, and then he grabbed an old sweater of his for her to wear. He picked her up like a newlywed couple, taking her to the table where she was struck with those same butterflies seeing the layout he had set up. "We didn't get a proper date or anything, so I thought I would try to show my chivalrous side today. I promise you, it's there," he joked, setting her down. She slid her hand down his arm and grabbed his hand as she walked over to the table.

The curtains were open, revealing a giant window overlooking the woods which had just finished adjusting to the cool, beautiful morning. Klaus set the table with homemade breakfast food, and even though he didn't eat any of it on a regular basis, he made it especially for her, knowing that she missed those small details from her human life. Caroline could see steam rising from the glasses of blood that accompanied the breakfast and she looked at him with a suspicious face.

"Don't you worry, it's from blood bags that I warmed up…unfortunately," that last part he muttered under his breath, but Caroline just smiled, glad that he made the effort.

"This is perfect, Klaus," She sat down with him and they had breakfast in quiet. Not do to any awkwardness, but instead filled with lingering looks and giggles as they ate their food. When Klaus finished, he watched her eat, looking at her like she was the most fascinating creature he'd ever seen. "What is it? Don't tell me I have food in my teeth," she said seriously and licked her teeth with fervor hoping that wasn't the cause of his stares.

"No, you're just so sublime," She laughed at this,

"What?" he said, smiling even bigger at her.

"You're just so…English," she said this like she had never heard anyone with an accent before and it thoroughly amused Klaus.

"So English, Caroline?" They both stopped eating and they were just looking at each other, having their first fun, real conversation. They laughed, and he couldn't feel happier with this young, carefree girl who spoke her mind so easily. "I've got to take you away from here, love, there's so much that you can experience."

"English stuff?" she was playing with him, trying to avoid the subject of leaving. She was really starting to like Klaus, especially this new side of him, but she could never just leave. She had too much here to leave it behind so quickly. She had all eternity to explore, right? She didn't have to go anywhere right away, even as tempting as it was to imagine the things she could do with Klaus.

Before Klaus could respond with some witty rhetoric, a phone buzzed. They could both hear it being vampires, even though it was vibrating from the inside of Caroline's bag. She found it and looked at Klaus before turning the sound off and setting it down again. She walked back and sat down, trying to avoid the entire situation. "So-"

"Who was that?" Klaus asked her with a sad look already in his eyes, even though he already knew.

"It was just Elena," Caroline said quickly, hoping that would be the end of it. But just like Caroline, Klaus wasn't one to give up so easily.

"You can tell me, Caroline, it was Tyler wasn't it?" Caroline looked up at him and nodded. "Well," he said, standing up and setting his dish on the counter, "I guess it's time for you to go, then?" He wasn't looking at her, he knew things would come to this very soon. He was the one that led Tyler back into town and now he wasn't under his control anymore, so there wasn't anything he could do to get in Tyler's way of pursuing Caroline again.

"Don't be like that," Caroline said, staying seated and avoiding eye contact.

"Well I mean, it's not like this was going anywhere, was it? Tyler has returned, and I'm quite sure I'm not your first choice to spend the day with, while your boyfriend is here and all,"

"Klaus, it's not like that. This isn't easy for me, it's not like I planned for this to happen, I just-"

"Yeah, I'm sure you didn't, sweetheart," this time when he said that it was condescending, and Caroline was not about to let him do this to her. She moved in front of him fast in the kitchen so that he couldn't get away on either side.

"Look, what I meant was that this happened pretty fast, and I'm not so sure what to do about it. But your degrading comments and frankly hurtful behavior isn't exactly helping." Caroline looked in his eyes and waited for him to say something comforting. He had been so good to her and she didn't want that to change.

"Well that's too bad then, because it's over now. Just forget that this all happened and go back to your boyfriend, I'm sure he's just dying to see you." Klaus said this like he was being true, but he was hurt inside. He had to say these things. He had to push her away, it was the only opportunity he would have to spare her before things got too weird. Eventually she would hate him anyway, and he would lose her. Better sooner than later.

Caroline grabbed her purse in a flash and ran to the door, but not before looking back at Klaus. "I gave you that chance, Klaus, and you just ruined it," there was a pause as they both realized this was the point where they made something out of what happened or just tried to let it go. After waiting a moment to let Klaus interject, say anything, Caroline figured it just wouldn't happen. "I knew it was too good to be true," she said, and she slammed the door on her way out, leaving Klaus miserable behind her.
