Two weeks and Klaus caved not that he dared admit it, her presence was a force that could not be ignored any further he thought while his mind continued to battle.
It was then that he saw her from the half open door that led into the bathroom she was brushing her hair softly singing an endearing quality he found she enjoyed more often than not he found himself smiling as she did it.
She smiled at Klaus when she saw him as she set the brush down. "Sorry, I was taking a while wasn't I," she asked still adjusting to not being alone in a house all the time.
"That's not it," Klaus said as she expanded the entry to the bathroom as she exited it shutting it behind her filling the space between them.
He registered an 'Oh' before his mouth closed over hers softly his deft fingers sliding up her arms to her shoulders.
He felt her kiss him back as he opened his eyes pulling away her eyes closed and her mouth chasing his, "Sweet Dreams Caroline," he whispered sending warm puffs of air in her direction before he was gone.
Caroline blew out a breath feeling her cheeks pouf and her bangs fly up as she tried to regulate her breathing her heart ringing in her ears.
She vaguely heard a door shut somewhere in the distance and thought how could he go to bed at a time like this?
She got to work on moving her legs one in front of the other until she got to her room and shut the door behind her mechanically almost she pushed her bed sheets back and slid in.
She spent the night looking at the decorative ceiling her fingers pressed to her lips as she thought about what was to happen next.
The next morning he rose tiredly from his bed after a night filled with tumulus emotions he dragged himself from his bed over to the reading nook and sat down.
He sighed touching his head with his and as he thought about how good it was to kiss her and how he longed to do it again.
He counted in his head how wrong it was, how he was older and out of school or how they lived in different continents.
These were just off of the top of his head he hummed thinking about how soft she was, how she felt against him.
He distracted himself with the way her hair smelled and how delicate her lips were pressed to his which to be honest wasn't helping anything but his libido.
Klaus decided on a cold shower before he remembered he would have to leave his room again and pass the spot where he has placed his lips over hers to do that.
No, he thought, he would stay here forever, a bit dramatic but he was placated nonetheless as he stood up finding it a little bit harder.
Caroline sat up her eyes boring into the wall that separated them as if she could laser her way in and ask him exactly what he was thinking.
To put it simply it was exactly what she was thinking but on a grander scale this had to be one of the worst things to happen that could jeopardize all she had worked for.
She racked her brain trying not to think of how good it felt to kiss him, or rather for him to kiss her in the way that he did.
Her heart sped up as she pressed her hands to her face rubbing vigorously as she tried to quell her budding nerves.
With a look at the time she had been reminiscing for two hours she looked in the mirror and felt a desire to confront him for messing everything up.
She brushed her hair back before she stopped realizing if she had just done that in her room last night things would still be normal.
Or at least the normal she had settled into with them both under the same roof including his parents who quite frankly she was surprised hadn't barged in and asked about it.
Rebekah had been right in saying they were very involved in every aspect of her life she made a face as she recalled her first night with them.
She couldn't remember a time when she had spent so little time eating at dinner because she was being asked question after question.
When it wasn't that it was the looks Klaus was sending her from his end of the table making her stomach flutter in ways she'd rather not admit to.
Klaus head a knock at his door before it was opened without his consent, "Please, do come in," he said as he wiped his brow spreading the charcoal he had been working with over his forehead.
"Please do kiss me," she retorted back without thinking stomping closer to him as a stupidly happy smile spread over his face.
"Come again," he said with a crooked grin that formed a flurry of emotions bode inside of her as she stopped in front of where he sat.
"That's not," she tried, "I blurted it, I didn't mean," Klaus chuckled remembering how they met, Caroline seemed to as well, "You know what I meant."
"Reason for being here," he asked as he shut his book before she could catch what he was working on he did that often it seemed.
"Just this," she said as she returned the favor and locked her lips to his setting her knee on his bench as she grabbed the collar of his night shirt and pulled him closer.
"Fantastic," he murmured in between soft open mouth kisses that soon lead to more impassioned ones that had him dragging her on to his lap.
She swore to herself she wouldn't kiss him before she marched in but his eyes did her in just like the first moment and she gave in. Did she regret it? No.
He couldn't get over her small sighs and harsh pants the way she fit over him he swore he'd never forget and with every time his lips connected with hers he vowed to never let her forget either.
His hands slid torturously down her sides to the small of her back pressing her closer into him making her breath hitch at the feeling.
She bit his lip in retaliation finding he enjoyed it when she did it again just a tad harder before sucking it into her mouth as an apology.
He smiled into her mouth as his hand found its way under her shirt softly caressing her back as he held her above him pressing his forehead to hers as they retreated for breath smiling like daft fools.
