"Sorry Love," Klaus said as he surprised her in the kitchen in the wee hours of the night reminding her of a certain reoccurring fantasy she'd been having.
With a pressed smile she met his gaze, "It's fine," she said throatily as she sipped her tea her eyes following him shirtless state around the kitchen as he worked on serving himself a cup from the kettle.
He gave her one last look before he served himself a cup looking as if he was trying to decided something, confess something.
"Couldn't sleep either," he asked as he turned around his eyes once more set on her face she busied herself with dipping the tea bag inside his cup.
Caroline tried to steady her hands as her eyes moved from the cup over the counter to the line where his sleep pants ended and his torso began.
She felt her stomach flip as she traveled the planes of his chest to meet his eyes softly biting her lip unaware she was doing it until his eyes flickered to her mouth then back to her eyes.
"Me either," he said his voice husky as he sat next to her, "I always worry when Bekah goes out," he confessed while he cleared his throat dismissing the naughty ideas that had appeared in his mind.
She seemed surprised by his admission though she also seemed to fidget more the closer he got to her and as he threw her a soft smile she turned a lovely shade of pink.
"Some things don't change," he sighed rubbing his face with his hand shifting in his chair until his knee met hers he tried not to laugh as she jumped slightly.
He caught her wrist before she could fall back tucking his chin in to his neck as his eyes asked if she was alright Caroline smiled at him in reply as she settled back into her chair.
Klaus felt as if he was failing with her all he wanted to do was talk but his behavior before hadn't exactly lead him into a good place with her.
"You should correct me if I'm wrong," she asked softly making his eyes widen as he waited for her to continue, "I think we've both mislead each other," she said as she set her cup down.
Klaus looked at her intrigued, "You came here looking like you didn't have a care in the world, you spurn me and then you kiss me," she continued glossing over other events.
"You kissed me," he interjected reminding her of a kiss he longed to have again she nodded in agreement as their silence stretched.
"I didn't like you," she told him a line that made him frown her eyes no longer over him, "You really care about your sister," he spoke in fragments as if she was having a conversation of her own in her mind.
He watched as she sipped from her tea once more still mumbling, "Don't tell her that," he said in a whisper making her smile from behind her tea.
She took a calming breath, "I didn't know she was gone," Caroline said quietly not wanting to disturb the darkness surrounding them her eyes half hooded locked with his.
Klaus scrunched his nose, "With Stefan," he clarified without needing to making Caroline feel like she was living in her dream without drawing attention to her movements she pinched herself.
Klaus watched as she pinched herself the action confusing him though she hid her pain well his tongue darted out licking his burning lips as he looked at her.
She was an enticing creature even at four am, her hair tangled dressed in blue flannel shorts and a sleeveless top when her lips parted he felt as his body responded to the action.
"I wanted to thank you for having me," Klaus said clearing his throat, "I know I'm not easy to have around," he continued as after sipping from his cup.
"And yesterday," he added fighting his smile as he saw a faint blush form before she ducked her head down, "I shouldn't have acted the way I did."
"We were being childish," Caroline said waving it off, "I think we can just let bygones be bygones," she said finishing her cup standing to set it in the sink.
"I can understand if you'd like that to happen," he said as he stood up with her setting himself next to the counter as she set her cup in the sink.
He reached for her hand surprising her in her rush to avoid this conversation feeling her body in a frenzy her stomach fluttering at his touch. "But…"
"It's warm right," she asked with a tilt of her head as she grabbed her hand back like he burned her, "I'm gonna check the thermostat," she said as she moved to go past him.
Klaus threw his head back, "Caroline stop avoiding me," he said reading through her flimsy pretext he turned following after her as she walked faster as if trying to escape him.
Klaus reacted bending as he lifted her up by her legs over his shoulder and walked back into his room with her, "Klaus," she shouted as he slammed the door shut.
Klaus slid her down his chest his fingers riding up her sides as they had in her dream her skin shivering at the intensity of his look as her eyes met his once more.
"What are you doing," she shouted hitting his chest angry that he hadn't even had to step back from her push, "I'm going now," she said but his hands gripped her waist.
Klaus couldn't explain why he'd done it but he held onto her anyway, "Talk to me," he said pleading with her, stilling her, "Get to know me," he added his head leaning closer.
"I know I'm hard to deal with," he said as he buried his nose in her hair, "It's made my work easy, but my life…" he murmured against her neck.
Caroline forgot how to breathe when his thumbs traced her hips back and forth the first time, "Rebekah," she sighed incoherently brushing her hair back.
Klaus shook his head pulling back his sad smiling lips more tempting than they had been yesterday before she realized it her fingers were tracing the scruff of his jaw making his smile grow.
Caroline glowed as his smile grew happy, "There's no one here but you and me," he whispered drowning in her sight as she came closer their breaths intermixing she was a brave one.
Seriously, she thought to herself as she pressed her lips to his the feel of him against her skin intoxicating his fingers gripping her as she moaned with delight.
Klaus' hand held the back of her neck his fingers tangling themselves into her loose waves as her arms came around his neck.
Her nails scratched his scalp eliciting a groan as he pushed his other hand into the small of her back bringing her closer than before.
He kissed her slowly at first relishing in the taste of her lips a vague thought entering him over the tea he left on the counter before she sighed his name bringing him back to more present matters.
Caroline felt her body heat up as she responded to his kiss asking for more of him, parting her lips and inviting him inside their tongues battling just as they had days before.
Klaus walked her back against his bed until she felt the backs of her knees gently set against the mattress as he continued kissing her.
"This isn't how I get to know someone," she murmured as she felt herself be lifted onto his waist her legs wrapping around him he smiled into her mouth.
"I figured if we can get through a night in bed together," he panted between kisses because even the gods couldn't get him to stop doing that, "We could try breakfast."
Caroline hummed happily as she felt her back hit the sheets her head falling back as his lips left hers her fingers mussing his hair as he lightly sucked on her neck.
His lips roamed over her neck his hot open mouth coming to suck at the smooth skin right before he hit her collarbone licking the line, "Sleepy yet," he asked.
Caroline shook her head as she rocked her hips against his making him push back creating a delicious friction even over their clothing, "No," she moaned powerlessly.
She gasped for air as his hands dug into her shirt pulling at it she felt it rid lower as her heels dug into his thighs pushing her lower half into him as she gyrated her hips under his.
She pushed his head back up kissing him once more as she felt his hand slid up her breasts rubbing softly against the fabric making her purr at the feeling.
Klaus nipped at her lips as he pulled away loving the feeling and the view of her under him as his eyes took in the sight of her in over his sheets.
A true vision she was, her hair splayed out lips pink from kissing cheeks warm down to the swell of her breasts bouncing as she panted her leg running up and down his calf.
"Well you have me at your mercy Ms. Forbes," he asked as his hand ran down her side under her waist as he rolled onto his back pulling her with him.
She lay half over him with a wide grin as she faked a yawn and stretched rubbing her front over his Klaus dragged her up his body from her sides in response.
Meeting him face to face she bit his lip playfully, "I'd say the same for you," she admitted as she rested her hands on his shoulders as her hips met his pleasurably.
"Your sister's going to kill me," she sighed resting her chin against the center of his forehead feeling him cup the nap of her neck dragging her head down her nose running along his face.
Klaus felt himself lighter as he flipped her back down an idea forming in his mind as he pressed a lingering kiss to her lips.
"Until then," he murmured with a smile as he tugged down the front of her shirt sliding down her front so she could feel his breath over her newly exposed skin.
"Klaus," she whimpered as his mouth hovered over her sensitized nipples her hands dragging into his hair he licked his lips begging.
Caroline nodded throwing her head back as she felt his warm tongue lavish her his teeth grazing slightly over the skin making her shiver as his hand found her other breast.
He groaned at the taste of her, the way her nails scraped his scalp and the soft pants that fell from her lips as her body writhed under him.
He switched to her other breast much to her behest licking her nub once before blowing over it making her cry out at the tease before he sucked on her once more.
Caroline thought she might fly if he kept it up her body warm with the heat spreading inside of her she gripped his hair and the nape of his neck as she tried to hold on.
It was impossible that she could get a rise from well placed kisses, that he could make her cry out from just a soft touch over her sides.
"Please," she pleaded as she felt his hand fly down pulling her shorts as it slid inside of her front his fingers splaying over her navel before sliding much lower. "Yes," she panted.
Klaus wanted to smile, he truly did, but when his fingers slid over the coated wetness over her he had to squeeze his eyes shut as he bit back a groan.
He rested his head on her stomach as his other hand ran in the same direction as she happily spread her legs further for him.
He thanked her with languid kisses down her stomach and over her hips as his hands tugged her shorts lower until his eyes could feat over her loveliness.
His mouth his her pubic bone his tongue caressing lightly as he trailed it over the side of her thigh hearing her moan as his bit her softly before licking it to sooth her.
"This is what you want isn't it," he asked gruffly as his hands held her thighs his eyes locking with hers desperate and needy matching his own.
"Klaus," Rebekah said shoving the plate of breakfast in front of him, "Eggs in a basket, right?" she asked as she sat down in front of him already digging in.
"Yes, little sister," he replied out of breath and trying not to show it as he remembered where he was in their kitchen waiting for Caroline to get out of the shower.
"Are you alright," Rebekah asked, "Coming down with something are you," she asked getting up before Klaus shook his head adjusting himself under the table.
"I'm fine," he said as he withheld a groan as he shifted on his chair focusing on his breakfast rather than the very naked and wet blonde two rooms down that had just shut off the water.
Rebekah followed his eye line and frowned, "Look I know you and Caroline haven't gotten a long this last week but I feel like you could try in the next few days at least."
"Not to worry little sister," Klaus assured her a smile tugging at his lips, "We'll be getting on famously before you know it," he promised as he stuck his fork in his plate.
