"Mm."I mumbled and cracked my eyes open. My hand immediately shot up and covered them as the bright sunlight from the window blinded me. I groaned and tried again, this time slowly blinking and removing my hand at the same time. After a few seconds I blinked for the last time and took in my surroundings.
For a few moments I was completely disorientated, my eyes looking at the large window. My eyes suddenly widen as I felt a strong arm, possessively holding me by the waist. And suddenly the memories of last night rushed in. Nick. Explanations. Fight. Sex.
I tried to suppress the shit eating grin that extended on my lips as I turned around in his embrace but I couldn't. My breath hitched in my throat as I took in the sight of him. His face was mere inches from mine, his eyes lightly closed, his golden hair messy, his lips slightly puckered up. I couldn't stop the heat in my cheeks as I remember exactly what his lips were doing last night. We had fallen asleep naked and the sheets were leaving his upper body uncovered. I reached my hand out as I shamelessly stared at his perfect abs. I bit my lips and slightly touched his face, he didn't wake up so I continued tracing down the outlines of his face, stroking lightly his golden hair.
With every second I was remembering more and more details about last night and I couldn't hide my huge smile. For a very long time he had been the only man I had ever had sex with, I just couldn't stand the thought of doing what I had done with him with someone else. During that time, I had recalled our nights together over and over again and with my naive mind I assumed that what I felt, the amazing, glorious feeling I felt while I was with him was something normal, natural and that I would feel it if I slept with another man. So I did, I slept with a vampire I met along my way. He was sweet and charming but after our night together I found myself incredibly disappointed and confused. Over the years, after having gaining some experience, I found myself doubting that what I had felt with Nick was real. And after another 50 years I was completely sure that this kind of intimacy, this kind of desire and...well this kind of mind-blowing, eyes- back -rolling, leg -weakening, toe-curling orgasms were even possible to exist. But after tonight...well the only word I could use was wow. Apparently feeling like that were only possible when you were in bed with the right person.
I bit my lip and slowly turned my head to look at the clock on the wall opposite the bed. 9:30, we had around half an hour before we absolutely had to leave but he looked so peaceful and adorable with his pouty lips that I just couldn't wake him up. I slowly started shifting in his embrace, carefully taking his hand, griping my waist, and put it beside his body. I rolled to my previous position and slowly started sitting up, biting the inside of my cheek as the stupid bed creaked. My eyes darted at Nick but he was still sleeping soundly so I slowly pulled my legs from the bed, sitting on its edge. I was just about to shift my weight to my legs and stand up when suddenly an electric current coming from my wrist made me jump from surprise.
"Don't rob me of the pleasure of waking up, opening my eyes and seeing you...please." I heard a sleepy voice from behind me. I cursed in my mind and started turning around.
"Sorry, I didn't want to wake you up but..." My breath hitched in my throat for a second time. His eyes were tightly shut, his lips were extended in a irresistible smirk, he was lying on his left side, the shifting of positions causing the sheets to fall...lower. I swallowed thickly and his smirk only extended. He knew exactly he was doing. I bit my lip."Well...you can open them now. I am right here." He shook his head and shifted a little, making the sheets shift too.
"Mmm...I don't think so. I am not quite comfortable with the position you are in right now. It's too...far and I am not sure that I will be able to see you if I open my eyes." He said, his smirk starting to look more like a grin.
I gritted my teeth. Two could play this game.
I slowly turned around and climbed back in the bed. On my knees and arms I started moving closer to him, putting my hands on both sides of his head. Sensing the new position he rolled on his back, his eyes still shut. My long hair was spilling all over him and he shamelessly turned his nose to one of the strands, inhaling deeply, making a low noise in his throat. I smirked and lowered myself, pressing my upper body to him, making him make the same deep noise but this time louder. I leaned down and kissed his temples, moved down to place light kisses along his jaw line and finally pecked him on the lips.
"Is here okay, love?" I asked with my sweetest voice. He tilted his head to one side as if he was thinking over it.
"Mm...I am still not sure. Maybe you can come closer?" He said with innocent voice and my lips extended in a smile. I leaned down again and captured his lips with mine. I started kissing him agonizingly slowly, ignoring his attempts to pick up the pace. Keeping my lips on his, I started moving again, shifting my weight on my hands. I lifted my left leg and placed it on the other side of his waist, I shifted my weight again, broke down the kiss and slowly adjusted myself in the new straddling position, making sure to create enough friction for him to squeeze his eyes more tightly and to groan loudly. I suppressed my smile as I leaned down again and nibbled lightly the soft part of his ear. He groaned again and cursed lightly while shifting slightly below me. This time I couldn't hide my smirk as I whispered in his ear, my voice husky from desire.
"Here?" I trailed my lips against the outlines of his face until I reached his other ear. "Is here okay?"
"I think so...but I still need to check." I raised myself to a sitting position, now filling just how much he was enjoying our little game. His hands gripped my ankles and we both gasped at the sudden electric current, he then started moving his hands up my thighs, leaving a burning trail that was resulting in a very burning feeling between my legs. He moved his hands up my waist making me shudder, then moved them to the small of my back and then suddenly grabbing my...you know...ass. I squeaked and he chuckled lightly. "Oh yes, this is definitely it. I, now, have full...access."And to prove his point he snaked his hands up my back and abruptly pulled me towards him, only my hands, placed on both sides of his head, stopping me from falling on him. Not that he would have been too unhappy about that.
My face was mere inches away from his, his hands moved up my back, reaching my neck and gathering my hair and stroking it gently. He used his free hand to cup my face and his thumb slowly traced the outlines of my lips. I swallowed thickly and leaned down catching his lower lip with my own and sucking it lightly. He groaned and pulled me closer to him. As I slowly pulled away, his eyes suddenly flew open and I gasped. His piercing blue orbs were looking at me with such an intense mixture of feelings that my heart literally stopped beating for a few seconds. My eyes widen and I just couldn't stop anymore. I abruptly grabbed his hands and pulled them above his head, pinning them in place with my left hand. I didn't lose time and crashed my lips against his. His tongue immediately licked my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, making us both moan .
I was so caught up in the kiss that at some point I realized that he had flipped us over and now I was lying on the soft mattress and he was hovering over me. He broke the kiss and attacked my neck, kissing and nibbling until I didn't know where I was.
My hands tangled in his hair and I used them to pull him closer to me. He found my sweet spot behind my ear and started sucking on it. I gave a loud moan and couldn't help the burning sensation in the pitch of my belly. I moaned again as he bit me lightly and dug my nails in his back.
"Shit ,Bella." Hearing him curse made me want him even more. I was just about to swap our positions again but then...
But then my eyes fell upon the clock.
"Shit!" I pushed him away and jumped out of the bed. "We are going to be late!" He rolled on his back, his eyes startled and confused.
"Excuse me?" He asked and I shifted in my spot, feeling his eyes roam all over my body. "You are not seriously suggesting that we go to school, are you?"
"No, I..."My brain reacted a few seconds later."Did you just say we?" I said and my lips started extending as he moved uncomfortably and avoided looking me in the eyes. Oh, that was going to be good." Nick?" He raised his head and gave me a very funny look.
" I am the...history teacher."
" You are the what?" I said opening my mouth and looking at him with wide eyes.
" The history teacher." My hand flew to my mouth as my body started shaking with laughter. He started nodding with his hands in front of his face. " Laugh all you want, but it was the perfect cover." I started stomping my foot ,unable to stop laughing. The image of him wearing glasses, turtleneck and a tweed jacket, sitting in a desk with a stupid apple in front of him was just too much for me. By this time my belly was hurting and my eyes were filled with tears. I bent over my hands on my stomach.
" You...kill...peo...people...for...freaking sport. And...you...?" I said through fits of laughter but didn't have the chance to finish as he suddenly flashed and pinned me to the wall, the sudden movement knocking the air out of my lungs, effectively making me stop laughing. His face were mere inches away from mine but my lips were still extended in a amused grin." I just have one question." He nodded an brushed his nose against my jaw line and I resisted the urge to shudder." Do you have a tweed jacket?"
" Of course." He said and my body started shaking with laughter again. His eyes flickered and he crashed his lips against mine, making me stop laughing and tangle my hands in his hair, pulling him closer. He suddenly broke the kiss making me whimper." Do you want to see it sometime?" He asked his voice husky. I bit my lip and nodded vigorously. He smirked and I pulled him down, joining our lips.
By this time all rational thoughts had evaporated from my mind but as he shifted his position slightly, I caught a glimpse of my phone, sitting on the table next to the bed.
Shit! The phone call. The meeting.
With one quick movement I shifted our positions so now I was pinning him.
" Stop doing this, Nick, or we will never get out of this room"
" I am ok with that." He smirked cockily and shrugged his shoulders but I shook my head with a slight smile.
" We are going to be late." I said and stepped back. He narrowed his eyes.
" For what?" Oh, oh, the question. I stepped from one foot to the other and avoided his eyes.
" For a meeting...with your father." I bit my lip. I knew it was very horrible of me, given the fact that he found out that his father was alive yesterday and that he major Daddy issues and probably held a huge grudge against all of his fathers. He didn't say anything so I raised my head, met by his angry eyes.
" My father? The one that pretended to be dead, the same one who took my fiancée away from me?" I nodded still biting my lip. "I can't deal with this right now. I am not coming. I don't know why you even asked." He said angrily and moved pass me. My heart shattered into pieces. He was hurt, deeply hurt, it was in his eyes, in his voice. In his eyes his father had abandoned him, taken his happiness away from him. And it killed me knowing that it was not true, I needed him to come with me. He had to know the rest of the story, he needed to see his father and see just how much we had taken care of him for the past 500 years.
And I knew just how to deal with him.
He had sat down on the foot of the bed and was looking straight forward stubbornly. I stepped closer to him but he still looked right ahead of him. I moved right in front of him, his eyes on the level of my belly. I reached out and tangled my hands in his hair, tugging slightly, making him raise his head to look at me.
"Oh, don't be mad at me, Nick. I arranged a meeting with him to discuss battle strategies, protecting Elena and well...everything before this," I motioned with my index finger between us." happened. And I just...I couldn't stand the thought of leaving you and not spending our first day together...and I just assumed that you would want to spend your day with me, too." I said with apologizing and innocent voice. And before you accuse me of being Katherine with him, you have to know that I wasn't lying him. I really couldn't imagine leaving him here and going somewhere without him.
And apparently he couldn't, too. He stood up and took my face in his hands, looking at me with his big and mesmerizing eyes, making my heart skip a beat.
" Of course, I want to spend my day with you." He was talking carefully and with a voice full of love as if he was regretting that had made me doubt that. I grinned at him, clapped my hands together victoriously and quickly pecked him on lips.
"Perfect!" I grabbed his hand and raised my eyebrow and smirked seductively." Take a shower with me?"
KPOV
" Is that what you are wearing to school?" Stefan said and looked at me from head to toe with his eyebrow raised. I smirked and looked down. I was wearing super tight black skinny jeans, black high heels, tight midnight blue tank top and black leather jacket. My hair was in my usual big curls, my eyes were dark and my lips sparkled in light shade of red. Essentially exactly Elena's opposite.
" You like it?" I batted with my lashes and watched him with amusement as he swallowed thickly.
"Elena wouldn't wear this." He ignored the question and I chuckled, moving closer to him.
" Well, I am not Elena, now am I?" I said seductively and traced his chest with my index finger as I stepped pass him and opened the passenger door. My smirk grew as heard him mutter "You are definitely not." with a low husky voice. I was enjoying the fact that I still had influence over him but it didn't quite make me ...happy. I wish that I had the same influence on Damon. I gritted teeth as I remembered that he was alone with Elena in a huge house. Alone.
What the fuck was happening to me?
I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. And looked over at Stefan ,who was just sitting in the driver seat. He looked at me and I smirked, making him turn his attention to the windscreen. He started the car.
" So..." He started unsurely and I turned my head to look at him. He drove through the open gates of the Salvatore house.
" Yeah?" I asked, seeing that he wouldn't continue. He darted his eyes at me.
" Did you call that mysterious person who is supposed to help us?" Oh, the poor innocent boy. I chuckled lightly and shook my head. He was so naive." What? Why are you laughing?" He asked with almost hurt voice.
"I haven't called him, Stefan, and I have no intentions on doing so in the future." He almost jumped on the break, making me shot out my hands us to not hit the windscreen. I looked at him with wide eyes. " What the hell, Stefan?" I spit out angrily and he looked at me with fierce look on his face.
" You are backing down?!" He yelled."That Klaus guy wants to kill us all and you are backing down?" I hit the glove compartment and looked at him with even more anger. Was he really this stupid? I couldn't believe that I once loved him. Hmm. I furrowed brows.
" I am not backing down, Stefan!" I spit his name, making him lean away from me." Start the stupid car." He looked at me like I was crazy.
" Not until you explain." Stupid!
"Start the fucking car, Stefan, now!" I yelled with such anger that the veins around my eyes popped and he cringed back. Yeah, I could be very scary when I wanted." We are hunted by two Original vampires and you want to discuss this in the middle of the road in a stopped car. Seriously? Can you make it easier for them eavesdrop and then catch us?" Something flickered in his eyes and he pulled back.
" I didn't think about that." He said with a quiet voice and I resisted the urge to say something really mean. He started the car and hit the gas pedal. I was still angry at him so we drove in a complete silence. I looked through the window and watched as the trees around us blurred from the speed. I raised my head a little and stared at the sky. It was icy blue and color reminded me too much of the eyes of a certain someone for me to continue looking at it. I looked at the trees again and the thick forest reminded me of my childhood house. It was in the middle of the forest, where my sister, our brother and I used to play all the time. I remembered with nostalgia how one time we climbed the nearest mountain and found a little blue lake on top of it.
Lake, hmm, lake house, Elena's lake house, Elena and Damon in the lake house, alone. I clenched my teeth and fists. What the hell was happening to me? Why did my thoughts always circle and find themselves occupied with Damon? He, apparently, had no interest in me and I...
I bit the inside of my cheek. I wasn't going to let him crawl under my skin. I looked over to Stefan and decided that talking to him was better than wondering what Damon and Elena were doing in the lake house, alone...oh, stop it, Katherine.
"It doesn't work that way." I said quietly and he looked at me with surprise.
" What do you mean?"
" I mean that I can't just call one of the most powerful vampires in the world." I paused, trying to find the right words." His whereabouts are kept in secret...otherwise he would have been killed hundreds of years ago. No, I had to call a friend of mine who has a lot of connection. And after, if I may add, hours of begging he agreed to call a friend of his, who could contact us with someone in his trusted circle. And even that way it might take weeks before we hear back." Stefan looked at me again and his eyes sparkled with curiosity.
" So that strong vampire guy...tell me more about him." Mm...I don't think that's a good idea, Stef. I hesitated, wondering whether I could trust him or not. My entire plan depended on this and I just wasn't...
"Common, you said you didn't have second thought about this." He interrupted my thoughts. I pursed lips and made up my mind. I needed to scare him a little, you know, to let him know what the stakes were here.
"I am not having second thoughts about this, I am having second thoughts about you." He looked at me with surprise and confusion.
" Excuse me?"
" You heard me. This must be kept a secret and I know you don't have a very good history in keeping secrets." I said and raised my eyebrows to emphasize my words.
" What?! I am a very good secret keeper, many people have told me their secrets." His voice was a little too high and I chuckled lightly before shaking my head.
" Yeah, exactly, you've been told secrets but can you name...three times in your entire life when you've been told a secret or you have found out something important but you have been told not say anything and you haven't gone straight to your brother or in...recent months Elena?" Oh, tricky question. He tilted his head and I could practically hear wheels spinning in his head as he tried to come up with something. Suddenly he waved his hand.
"I didn't tell your secret back in 1864!"
" Yeah, honey, that's only one time and you were compelled not to. But you see...Damon, oh, he is a really good secret keeper. I guess he took all the good genes in that department." I said and looked at him through my lashes. He tightened his grip on the wheel and his knuckles turned white.
" Then why didn't you go to him with this great plan of yours if he so much better than me?" He spit the words through clenched teeth. Jealous much? I chuckled again and raised my eyebrow.
" Well...he would have been my first choice if he hadn't turned out to be my sister's best friend."I furrowed my brows, not liking the fact that he liked my sister more than me." And since the secret must be kept mostly from her...that left me with you." I smirked and he tried to ignore me by asking probably the question he thought would bug me. But somehow didn't.
" What about Elena? She might be able to help us." He said with almost hope.
"Nope. Elena's on team Belle." He opened his mouth object but I was kind of bored of this so I just cut to the chase."Ok, look. I don't know if you realize this but my sister is incredibly dangerous. She would do anything to protect the ones she loves but she shows no mercy at those who endanger them. So be sure that if she finds out that we are plotting against her beloved killer...even if she suspects something, she will take Damon and Elena, grab Klaus' hand we will never see them again." Stefan furrowed his brows and looked at me with emotion I couldn't recognize.
"She would kidnap Elena?" Good, now he was starting to see.
"No." I said with confident voice." She will go willingly." He opened his mouth but I cut him off." You don't know my sister very well but let me just tell you that not many people are able to say no to her. And she doesn't just manipulate or compel the, no, she just has that weird thing going on-she talks in stone cold and calm voice, she lays out the facts and then not just tells but shows what the consequences of the person choice would be." I shuddered at the memory of her white eyes and the terrible visions she was able to show you.
I let the information sink into his brain and looked through the window, we were almost there. He turned right and drove into the parking lot, looking around for where to park and I started looking around.
He finally found a parking spot and stopped the car. I slowly took my bag from the backseat and gracefully got out of the car, noticing that the people around us were starting to stare. I smirked and looked over to Stefan, who was just getting out of the car. I went to him and looked over to the entrance. I spotted two girls, who were talking to each other. They noticed me, too, and waved their hands at me. I smiled and returned the gesture.
" This is going to be so fun, Stef." I said and turned on my heels to look at him. He had a serious look as he put his hands on my shoulders.
"Be careful, Katherine, you said it yourself-two Originals are after us. Don't make a mess here." Two boys passed us and their eyes followed me as I smirked and looked back to Stefan, who had his eyebrow raised.
" I promise, Stefan." I said with fake serious voice. He squeezed my shoulders a little too hard for my taste.
" I am serious, Katherine, don't kill anyone today." My smirk grew wider as I stepped closer to him and patted his chest with my hand. I leaned forwards and whispered against his lips.
"Ok, I won't kill anyone." I leaned forwards and kissed him. We had to pretend to be the sweethearts of the school, right? I broke the kiss and saw that his eyes had a dazed look. I chuckled lightly and whispered in a voice I knew made men fall on their knees. " See you in History, Stefan."
Hasn't Klaus been just a sweetheart in the past few chapters? What do you think, guys, should
there be some badass Klaus we all know and love in the next chapter?
