AN: Okay, so I made a couple of changes in the last chapter that I should mention. I had Analisa note that the connection between Klaus and Sophia is not what had them develop feelings for each other; that they did that all on their own. Also, I decided I wanted Sophia to have a few days of training before she returns, so she isn't going home the next day. Thanks and I hope you all like the story and will be amazing and leave reviews!

Lily: Thanks for the help! I hope you like the chapter.

Anissa: Thanks for the reviews. Glad you liked the last chapter!

Kylee: Thanks so much for the review. I'm so happy you liked the chapter!

Guest: Thanks! I so agree that the lovebirds need to get out and about. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening until she tells everyone she's back, as there really aren't that many places to go in Mystic Falls. But I haven't finished the chapter yet, so we'll see where it goes. Thanks again!

Disclaimer: Not sure how many of these I need to put up, but I still don't own anything related to TVD.

Chapter 6: Working Hard is Hard Work

Sophia slowly made her way out of the bedroom, ears perked for any noise. She'd woken alone, something she really disliked since she was deprived of her morning snuggles. Not that Klaus would ever admit to snuggling. Like not ever. The very thought of him telling Stefan or Rebekah had the witch stifling a chuckle.

As she strained her ears, she had to admit that it was more difficult now that she was actively trying to use the skill. Before, the enhanced hearing had kicked in when she wasn't even trying, especially when she was in the middle of her blood haze. But if she ever wanted to get full control over herself and her body, she needed to train and hone her skills, no matter how difficult they were proving to be.

Sophia had been about to give up on her stupid hearing when she heard a faint murmuring coming from somewhere beneath her. Excited she'd finally gotten something, the witch paused by the stairs to try and pinpoint just where the voices were coming from.

Now that her ears were attuned to the sound, the mumbling words soon became understandable, revealing the three were currently talking about setting up some sort of schedule. Closing her eyes, Sophia concentrated on following the sound waves until she located them in the kitchen.

Beaming with her success, Sophia hurried down the stairs, wanting to share her joy with the others. Only her happiness was short lived, as she found herself suddenly slamming into a wall in the kitchen. She'd been walking quickly and had unintentionally sped up so fast she had no time to stop or brace for impact.

"Ow!" The witch moaned, both sides of her body aching now from the rough impact with the wall and then the floor. Rubbing at her face, she looked up to see three pairs of concerned and amused eyes focused on her.

"You alright, darling?" Klaus questioned and she scowled at the laughter in his tone. It wasn't as if she had purposefully run into the wall. Jack asses, the lot of them.

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up, you jerks." She stood, rolling her eyes as they snickered at her. Ass hats.

"You might try avoiding the walls in the future." Rebekah voiced, grinning at the brunette.

Sophia rolled her eyes and hopped up onto the counter Klaus was leaning against, hiding a smile when his hand wrapped around her bare calf. He might not admit his feelings for her often, but there was no way for him to deny them either, at least not to her.

"So are you guys going to help me train or what? I don't particularly want to keep running into walls, no matter how amusing you might find it." She retorted, glaring playfully at the still snickering vampires.

"Yes, we decided it would be best to have you practice in the forest as the humans should be arriving soon to begin the renovations." Klaus murmured, fingers stroking the smooth tan skin under his fingers, delighted it was still summer and she was wearing shorts.

"Hmm. That's probably best. And hopefully being surrounded by nature will help me out." She gave a little nod.

"Well let's get this started. I'd like to return home sometime soon." Stefan said, even when the others knew he was still hesitant to return because of his drinking problem. But he really missed Elena and Damon, no matter his bloodthirst.

"I'll meet up with you; I need to give the instructions to the contractor." Klaus said, pulling the witch into his side to plant a kiss on her lips.

"Alright. But no snacking Klaus. And even if you compel them, you better be paying them for their work." She poked a finger into his chest, wanting him to know she was dead serious. No one deserved to be used for their labor and then not paid for all their work. It just wasn't right.

"Yes, I know." The hybrid rolled his eyes at her and sent a glare at the other two, who were both once more snickering.

"Good." She beamed up at him and gave him another light kiss before heading towards the door leading out to a patio.

"Keep her safe." Klaus's voice went low, staring hard at the two until they nodded, knowing he'd retaliate if Sophia wasn't 100% healthy and happy when he arrived. And Rebekah had just gotten out of her coffin and didn't want to go back. As for Stefan, well, he didn't have the dagger option so he'd just be dead. Which would suck.

"Come on, the sooner we get started to sooner I'll get to go home!" Sophia called back into the kitchen, her voice laced with irritation at having to wait. And if there was one thing Sophia Gilbert just did not deal well with was patience, which often turned into boredom. Which then turned into a very annoyed witch.

"We're coming." Stefan rolled his eyes before stepping out of the house, followed by the blonde Original.

"Jeez it's about time. I'd have died of old age if you'd taken any longer." She muttered sarcastically, making the others roll their eyes at the girl before Stefan pulled her into his arms.

"You're such a drama queen."

Sophia's mouth dropped open, but before she could retort they were rushing through the air at a dizzying speed. She was just thankful she'd pulled her hair up into a ponytail before coming downstairs; as she was sure it'd be a knotted mess otherwise. And knotty hair just was not attractive.

When Sophia opened her eyes, they were in the middle of the forest and Stefan released her. Taking a deep breath, the witch allowed the sounds and smells of the forest to wash over her. Her surroundings pulsed with life and energy, filling her being up until she felt calm and collected, tuning into nature like a satellite.

"While we wait for Nik, perhaps we should work on your speed." Rebekah said, bringing the witch back to reality.

"Sure, I'm game. So how're we doing this?" She questioned as she tightened her ponytail.

"Pick a spot you want to get to and visualize yourself there. Once you get the hang of it, you'll actually be able to see your surroundings as you move, but for now it'll probably be a blur." Stefan supplied.

"Right. Visualize." She rolled her neck before focusing on a small clear section a short distance away. When nothing happened after several moments, she huffed in irritation.

"This isn't working."

"You might try actually moving." The blonde Original's voice was brimming with amusement, which caused Sophia to blush before giving her the one finger salute.

"I knew that."

The vampires chuckled at her muttered words. Squaring her shoulders, Sophia refocused and began running, once more speeding up about halfway through. Meaning she slammed roughly into a tree trunk with a yelp of pain.

"Sophia! Are you alright?" The two vamped to where she lay, worried when they smelt blood. Klaus would not be happy.

"Fuck that hurt." The witch gasped, the wind having been knocked out of her. Stefan had to step back as his hunger began clawing at him, leaving the female vampire to examine Sophia.

"Is anything broken?" Rebekah questioned, accessing the girl. She was bleeding from a shallow cut on her arm, which the vampire guessed was from impact with the rough bark. But otherwise she looked fine.

"No, I'm fine. Maybe practicing in the forest wasn't such a good idea." Sophia wheezed as she let her friend help her up, rubbing at her sore ribs.

"Do you want to go back to the house?"

"And tell Klaus I couldn't handle some tree trunks? No way." She shook her head. Sophia spied Stefan standing several feet away, face twisted in concentration as he obviously tried to fight his hunger.

"Beks, I'm gonna keep practicing, but maybe now's a good time for breakfast. I'm sure you haven't eaten yet." Rebekah arched a brow in question, but a look of understanding quickly filtered over her face when she saw where the witch's gaze was trained.

"You're right, I am feeling a bit peckish. Why don't we go grab a bite, Stefan?" He looked up, having missed the entire conversation.

"What?" The man asked in confusion.

"Sophia wants some privacy; she's a little embarrassed. So let's go get breakfast and give her some time alone." Rebekah whispered, even though Sophia could hear her and rolled her eyes. But if it got Stefan away and taken care of, then that was cool with her.

"Oh, um, alright. Sure." Stefan gave a nod.

"No eating anyone, Beks. Stick to blood bags." The Original pouted, but when Sophia stared her down, she sighed in annoyance.

"Fine, fine. Whatever. Let's go." And they were gone, leaving the witch alone.

"Alright Sophia, it's time to get this shit done." She said firmly to herself before she took another deep breath and began running back towards her starting position. While she didn't hit a tree this time, she overshot her goal and ended up tripping over a log.

"I do believe you'll be the very first hybrid not able to stay on their feet. I can only hope the rest of your kind have better luck remaining standing." She groaned as Klaus's voice washed over her. She really should have figured he'd show up just to see her land flat on her face.

"Don't be a dickhead." Klaus smirked as he watched her stand, admiring her backside in the little shorts she was wearing.

"Where're the others? They're supposed to be helping you."

"They went to get some blood. And I was doing just fine, thank you very much." She stuck her tongue out at him childishly.

"Ah, I can see that." He was suddenly in front of her, fingers tracing the small trail of blood from her scratch.

"Okay, that tree came out of nowhere. It so wasn't my fault." He smirked at her, his red lips drawing her attention. They were seriously the work of the devil, tempting her to forget everything and everyone and just drown in their softness and taste.

"I'm sure, sweetheart. Oaks are so tricky like that." His amused words had her eyes snapping up to his.

"How am I supposed to master anything when I can't even do something as simple as run?" She pouted.

"You just need to concentrate, darling." Klaus murmured as he eased himself behind her, hands sliding to her hips to pull her flush against him.

"Close your eyes and listen. Nature is a witch's playground, so you should have an advantage over even vampires out here. You should be able to filter out all the various sounds around you until you can focus on a singular noise." His words were said softly against her ear, making the witch shudder and her heart begin to pound as desire surged through her.

Bringing her hands down until they were griping his against her hips, Sophia closed her eyes and opened her ears. It was difficult to focus at first because she was hyperaware of Klaus, but eventually that dulled, allowing her mind to wander elsewhere.

The first blast of sound made her cry out, as everything seemed to be on a speakerphone. The birds chirping, small creatures moving about on the forest floor, twigs breaking under deer hooves, the rushing of a spring. It was overwhelming.

"Focus on a single sound." Klaus reminded her quietly.

Giving the barest of nods, Sophia imagined herself pushing the other noises away, concentrating on the rushing water over rocks. She wasn't sure where the spring was, but it had to be a fair distance from her, as it was harder to keep it then the other sounds.

"I hear running water." She said with a smile, eyes still closed.

"Good. Now go farther. Can you hear the cars passing by on the highway?"

Eyebrows scrunching together in attention, the witch pushed beyond the water, searching for the highway. The sounds were growing fainter the more she tried to hear, but she eventually heard what sounded like a car honking.

"I think I can hear something. It's so far away. But a car's honking." She questioned more than stated.

"Yes, very good." Beaming, she opened her eyes and spun in his arms to face him. Quickly wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she brought his mouth down to hers for a heated kiss.

"That was amazing!" She gushed happily when they parted, hugging him tightly in her excitement.

"You just needed a proper teacher, is all. Now, the speed is something you'll really have to get used to. But the thing that keeps making you trip or hit things is you, Sophia."

"Well, obviously it'd be me, as I'm the one falling down." She rolled her eyes at him.

"You misunderstand me. I mean you thinking like a human is what is hindering you. You do not believe, truly, that you can move as quickly as a vampire. Until you can overcome your human mindset, I fear you'll keep making impact with unsuspecting objects."

"But I am human, Nik. How am I supposed to get over that?"

"From what the ghost implied, I doubt you're truly still human. You're a mixture of witch, vampire, and werewolf. There's really no telling what you are." Sophia bit her lip, wanting to refute his statement but knowing she couldn't. But if she wasn't human, than was she going to end up losing herself over time the way so many vampires tended to?

"So tell me Jedi Master, what do I have to do to have vamp speed?" Klaus gave her a look that clearly said he didn't find her funny. Which was just BS, because Sophia Gilbert was hilarious.

"Stop thinking so hard, just do it. As with your hearing, the ability is within you and you must unlock it yourself. Stop thinking you can't do it, as you won't be able to thinking like that."

"Right. Just do it. Like it's that easy." She muttered to herself.

"It is that easy." Spinning around, she could just make out Klaus's figure almost ½ a mile away.

"Show off!" She called out loudly, which just earned a deep chuckle before he was once more before her.

"Come here." He pulled her into his arms, his sliding around her back until she was held securely. Sophia wrapped her arms around his waist, peering up at him with a questioning look.

"Now just focus on the feeling."

Before she could question him, they were moving rapidly. Sophia had to clench her eyes shut as the swirling colors were threatening to have her stomach rebel. She clutched tighter to him, nails digging into his cotton covered back as she tried to settle her stomach and do as he said, focus on the feelings.

It felt like her skin hadn't caught up to their movement, as it was stretching tight over her body as if part of it remained where they had stood. But it wasn't painful, which the witch was thankful for, just an unusual sensation. Wind whipped at her face as Klaus continued to run, giving evidence to just how fast they were actually moving.

"Open your eyes." The hybrid whispered into her ear. But she could still feel the rushing air over her skin and shook her head, not wanting to risk her stomach mutinying against her.

"Come on, darling. You'll never get better if you don't try."

Hating that he was issuing a challenge, Sophia silently cursed him before slowly opening one eye. She shuddered as the colors swirled around her rapidly, but she kept the eye open, not willing to appear weak in front of Klaus, no matter how her tummy clenched.

"There now, that wasn't so hard." His velvety voice washed over her, calming her nerves down a little as her other eye opened. Her grip on him didn't waiver, though, as she was still a little queasy. But the longer she gazed around her, the more clear things became.

As Stefan had said, once she was actually used to the movement, it was as if everything was standing completely frozen in time and they were moving through the air without disturbing a thing. She could literally see dewdrops on tree leaves and a bee about to take pollen from a tree. It was beautiful.

"Wow." Looking up at him, Sophia saw Klaus's lips curve into a smile as he glanced down at her.

"It's all about practice." He said quietly, coming to a stop in the exact place they'd left.

Leaning up, Sophia lightly nipped at his full bottom lip before sealing their mouths together, arms rising to loop around his shoulders as his hands slid down her back.

"I can think of other things to practice." She smiled at him, teeth grazing his scruffy chin as her eyes sparkled at him. Smirking, Klaus tightened his grip on her sides.

"I'd have thought we'd gotten past the practicing stage." His voice had gone deep, causing goose bumps to pebble her flesh and her cheeks to flush as desire surged through her.

"Oh please stop, I really don't want to test my gag reflex." The two glanced over to see Rebekah and Stefan emerging from the trees.

"You're so dramatic." Klaus remarked as Sophia stepped away.

"So how's training going?" Stefan asked, wanting to move beyond the uncomfortable moment. It was bad enough when he'd walk in on a moment between the couple; but now with Rebekah, it was even more awkward than ever before.

"It's a work in progress. Unlike the rest of you, I wasn't changed overnight so I have to grow into the new abilities." Sophia replied.

"Well, let's start the real training, shall we?" Rebekah said before suddenly slicing into her wrist with a knife she'd taken from the house.

When the scent hit the air, Sophia inhaled deeply and her mouth began to water. Spinning towards the blonde, the witch licked her lips before rushing to her, seeming to be able to use her speed with no problem. It was very clear, then, that when she was in the 'red haze', as Sophia termed it, she had no difficulty using her enhanced abilities.

"You must learn control, Sophia. You cannot react every time you smell supernatural blood." Klaus's voice floated around her as she stared at the bleeding wrist, held away from it by Rebekah's uninjured arm.

"I want it." She growled, red eyes flicking up to glare at Rebekah before she ripped the arm restraining her away and lunged for the bleeding arm.

"Are you going to let your hunger control you, like an animal?"

Turning at his words, Sophia snarled at the hybrid, not liking the implication. But before she could think past the haze to give a coherent answer, more blood was spilled, drawing her attention to Stefan, who was now also sporting a sliced wrist.

"Want it." She muttered before vamping to him, little fangs bared as she tried to reach the wound.

"Think through the lust, Sophia. You're not me, you aren't consumed with the hunger yet. You don't want to end up like me, Sophia, a ripper. You're stronger than I am." Stefan said quietly, amazed he was actually able to be so frank when human blood was coursing through his system like a drug. But he didn't want the witch to turn into a monster like him.

Sophia jerked away from him, stumbling a little as she backed away quickly, eyes wide as she stared at her tortured friend. She did not want to become a monster, to be so driven by thirst that she didn't care who she hurt just as long as she got to feed. She was Sophia Gilbert, damn it, and was not going to be a victim of her new circumstances.

"You're right, sorry." She mumbled, pushing at the hunger until her mind was completely clear. While her face didn't change back to normal, she wasn't on the verge of tearing into her friends. Which was a job well done in her book.

"Very good, sweetheart." Red eyes locked with sea-green ones and it was like all the ground work she'd just gained vanished from underneath her feet.

She wasn't sure if it was because she was still in her heightened form or because of the unresolved sexual tension they'd built up before the others arrived, but her body was suddenly thumping with a desire for not only Klaus's blood, but for his body as well. She could literally already taste him on her tongue.

"Nik." Her voice was low, almost a growl as she stepped towards him and was suddenly right in front of him. Her head tilted to the side as she seemed to size him up, eyes flicking down to lock on his jugular, ears picking up the sound of his delicious blood pumping through his veins.

"Well, it's obvious that Klaus has more of an effect on her then we do. So at least we know she won't be as tempted around the others." Stefan commented, but Sophia paid him no heed as she leaned into the hybrid, nuzzling his throat as she breathed his scent in.

Klaus wrapped an arm around her waist, the other hands stroking down her ponytail as he waited to see what she'd do. When her little teeth scraped against the tender flesh he sucked in a breath, holding her tighter against him as the small fangs slowly sank into him. The bite sent shocks through his system, making him hyperaware of her soft body against his as she sucked at his blood.

"Mmm." Sophia moaned as she pulled away, blood painting her lips before they were locked on his hungrily. Her hands held him against her, fingers gripping his hair almost painfully as their tongues battled for supremacy.

"Uhg."

Rebekah turned away, face scrunched up in distaste. She was glad her brother had finally allowed someone into his heart, but that did not mean she wanted to be witness to their passion. A sister should not have to see that much sexual activity of her brother, no matter what century they were in; it was just gross all around.

"More. I want more." Sophia muttered against his lips, pulling away just enough to grab his cotton shirt in her hands and tug, delighted when it ripped in two with little effort. She licked her lips, nails scratching down his chest and abs, pleased the workouts had turned him into a very fine example of the male physique.

"Get a room." Stefan called out, really not wanting to see them couple either. And since he was supposed to stay low until Sophia announced their return, he didn't have that many places to go to escape them.

"Great idea." Sophia smirked at her boyfriend before she was rushing them towards the house, not even batting an eye as they sped by the clueless humans and up to the room he'd designated as theirs. It was really a good thing they hadn't started demolition on it yet, as the workers would certainly have been shocked.

Klaus grunted when he was slammed against the door, lips stretching into a smirk at her, relishing in this new side of her. They'd certainly not always been gentle in bed, but he'd had to hold back a lot so as not to break her; so the hybrid was looking forward to letting himself go completely with her.

Sophia smirked back at him before she pressed her lips against his, her nails leaving fire down his front as she drew blood. Moaning against his mouth, she pulled away to lap at the liquid, sliding down his body as she went, making him groan as she got closer to his straining member.

"You taste so good." Her words were barely above a whisper, but they had the man gripping her hair tightly, drawing her eyes up to lock with his as her tongue flicked against his healing skin. He pulled her up and spun them around until she was pressed against the door, her hands suddenly held securely above her head.

"You're overdressed, sweetheart." His dimples flashed at her before she was naked from the waist up, her shirt and bra lying ruined on the floor and a smirking hybrid indulging himself in a kiss so heated it had her toes curling in her sneakers.

"Nik." She breathed out when their lips parted, chest heaving has her heart pounded in want and her body began to hum.

Klaus gripped her thighs and pulled her up so her legs could wrap around his hips and her arms around his shoulders. The hybrid's hands slid up the backs of her thighs and up over her denim covered ass, giving each cheek an appreciative squeeze and making the witch sigh as she twisted his curls around her fingers.

"Such a wanton little thing." His voice rumbled over her, making her tighten her legs around him as lust pooled in her belly.

Skimming his lips down her cheek to her throat, Klaus paid due attention to the sensitive spot behind her left ear that had her mewling as she clutched him tighter to her, thankful he was so strong or she'd have definitely already broken him.

Hands still on her bottom, Klaus used it as leverage to have her sliding further up the door so he could reach her mounds, not bothered in the least by the new position as he could feel her pulsing warmth through her shorts as she rubbed against his abs.

He first suckled the right breast, making Sophia arch her back and moan as his tongue flicked over her taunt nipple before he did the same for the left, alternating between the two every couple of minutes. By the time he finally released her, Sophia thought her body was going to go up in flames.

"You have such pretty breasts, my love."

She twitched, literally twitched, at his tone, her nerve endings already threatening to electrify. Klaus smirked at her as he moved away from the door, allowing her body to slide down his as he lowered her legs back down to the ground, her pebbles rubbing enticingly against his chest.

"Nik." She groaned, red eyes locking on his hot gaze, drawing him in again until their mouths were fused together as she pushed him towards the bed.

Thankfully the 1000+ year old was a lot more coordinated than the witch and didn't even stumble as he walked backwards. But when his back hit the footboard, he spun them around until she was once more pressed against him and a hard surface.

Breaking away from her mouth, Klaus licked her bottom lip before moving away, making the witch pout at being denied. Her pout turned into a lustful mewl, however, when he ripped her shorts and panties from her body, leaving her in only her sneakers, which he pulled off so quickly she didn't even feel the movement.

"So beautiful." Klaus murmured as his slowly stood, hands sliding up her silky skin as he went.

"Now who's overdressed?" She quirked a brow at him, teeth licking at her little fangs as her hooded eyes watched him.

Reaching out, she pulled at his belt, delighted when the leather snapped under her hands and allowed her to make quick work of his black jeans. The hybrid kicked his boots and the jeans off, as they still hung from his ankles, until they were both completely naked.

"Mmm." Sophia's fingers trailed down his chest and abdomen until they encircled his erection, giving it a strong squeeze that had him almost going cross-eyed. She gave a few strokes before her hand was removed and she found herself bending forward slightly facing the bed, hands gripping the footboard under Klaus's.

"Hold on." Taking his words to heart, Sophia gripped the wood tightly before his vanished. Glancing over her shoulder, Sophia's eyes locked with his as the hybrid's fingers slid over her cleft, making her give a little shudder.

Pressing his lips to her spine, Klaus ran his digits up the wet heat of her center a few times before slowly easing a finger into her, having to fight down his urge to just surge into her when her muscles clenched him tightly. Sophia's head dropped forward as he began moving his finger, moaning when he added a second digit and curled them towards her pubic bone, grazing the spongy hot spot and making the witch shudder.

"You're always so wet." Really, allowing him to dirty talk was just not right. Not only was his voice normally super-hot, but when he talked like this, Sophia thought she'd literally go crazy from it.

"Nik, please." She moaned, pressing back and tightening her inner muscles until she was milking his fingers.

"As you wish, sweetheart." A shiver worked over her as his voice whispered against her ear.

Klaus withdrew his fingers and gripped his erection, using her juices to lubricate himself generously. Wrapping a hand around her left knee, Klaus forced her leg to bend upward and holding it there as he aligned himself with her center. When he slid into her, Sophia couldn't stop the moan that sounded from her throat as he filled her, her grip on the footboard so tight the wood was threatening to splinter.

Pushing forward until he was fully seated within her hot core, Klaus slid his free hand around her front, using it to pull her up straight until her head was resting on his shoulder. Her right hand released the footboard and curled it back and around, her fingers clenching his neck has her back arched when he pulled away before slamming forward.

Klaus's grip on her knee was bruising as he used it for leverage as his began thrusting, not concerned with being gentle as Sophia's more instinctual, animalistic persona was still present. And the mewls and moans coming from the witch proved that even if there was pain, it only enhanced the pleasure that was pulsing through her.

"Fuck." Sophia moaned as they set a fast pace, his cock surging in and out of her at an inhuman speed.

She smelled the instant her nails broke skin, his intoxicating scent filling her head until it was literally all she could smell. Her own essences was soon filling the room as she bit through her bottom lip, blood filling her mouth as her body tightened around his.

"Bite me." Klaus's pace slowed for a moment as he heard her words, not believing she'd actually said them. She'd made it very clear that there would be not biting, but he summarized it was this new side of her that wanted it.

"You sure?" Nodding, Sophia tilted her head as far as it would go, exposing all of her neck. Not that she really needed to, as Klaus's mouth was already planted there, but whatever.

Gripping her tightly, the hybrid's face shifted until his double fangs were grazing the smooth skin of her neck, making Sophia shudder in want as the footboard gave in and splintered under her fingers. Trying to be gentle, Klaus pierced her flesh, moaning into her neck as her blood filled his mouth. It was still the most delicious he'd ever tasted and it had his body almost vibrating with lust.

Picking back up his pace, Klaus brought his wrist up to Sophia's face, not having to spell it out for the turned on witch. Witch a cry of pleasure, Sophia sank her fangs into his wrist, her body imploding at the first taste of him. Her walls spasmed around him, urging him on further as he continued to drink from her, his own body threatening to snap as she sucked from him.

It was the most erotic, amazing, firework producing thing she'd ever experienced. Their sex had always been awesome, as it couldn't not be with the two of them. But this, sex with blood sharing was just beyond anything she'd ever even imagined before.

It was as if she could feel herself being pulled into him, but then cycling back so he was in her, until they were literally fused together with no beginning and no end. She could certainly understand why blood sharing was so personal if others experienced even a fraction of the sensations she was at that moment.

Klaus gave a few more powerful thrusts and a strong pull at her neck before the fire in their blood consumed them both. They broke away from each other at the same time, their lips seeming to find each other on instinct as their climaxes roared through them.

Sophia released the ruined footboard and gripped Klaus's face tightly, her right leg threatening to crumble under her as it shook from both the strain and the force of her orgasm.

Pulling away, Klaus lowered her leg back to the ground, keeping a hold on her so she didn't just melt into the floor. The witch turned until she could rest her head against his heaving chest, closing her eyes as she tried to catch her breath and for her body to stop quaking, which didn't seem to be its priority as it continued to spasm for several minutes.

"That was—"

"Yes it was." Klaus replied, leaning down to press a light kiss to her forehead. Sophia sighed happily as her fingers tangled in his necklaces, content to just let him hold her until she recovered since he seemed to be in better shape than her. Stupid, wonderful hybrid.

"So I'm not sure if I'm going to freak out about the biting thing or not." She mumbled, her lips moving against his pectoral muscle as she spoke. Klaus ran his hands up her back until he was cupping her shoulder blades, keeping her against him firmly.

"It has to be a result of your new, more animalistic form, my love. I wouldn't be worried about it as long as you don't plan to partake in such an activity with anyone but me."

Sophia tilted her head back and rolled her eyes at him, prompting him to lean down to capture her in a kiss. The witch gave a little moan as his tongue slipped past her lips, their tastes mixing together until her head was buzzing. But she was so sated on both blood and lust that the taste didn't bring her other form back, which had seemed to melt away as they calmed down.

"Let's take a shower, sweetheart." Klaus said, steering them towards the adjoining bathroom before she could even protest. Not that she'd want to, as she felt kinda gross, truth be told.

"And after, we'll have lunch before training again." She said, which he just shrugged in answer as he went to the shower to turn it on. How the house already had running water, gas, and electric, Sophia wasn't really sure; but she was thankful as Klaus pulled her into the blissfully hot water.

/*/

"Stefan, where are you?"

Sophia turned to see Klaus on his cell, an irritated look on his face. They'd ventured back outside to practice more and had found the other two gone, the car missing as well. She didn't think it was a big deal, but Klaus was a control freak, so he did not take kindly to the vampires being gone without his prior knowledge.

"We thought we'd give you guys some space."

The witch was excited that she could hear Stefan's response without having to force herself to focus on the conversation completely. It might be a result of her earlier practice or the Original hybrid blood coursing through her system, but whatever it was, Sophia was happy to see the improvement.

"That doesn't explain where you are."

"Rebekah convinced me to give her driving lessons."

Sophia arched a brow at Klaus, not having expected that. Although she could understand the newly awakened Original wanting to be able to drive, since she'd never had the opportunity to try her hand at it, since she was too 'elite' to drive herself in the 1920s.

"You do know that you're very flammable, don't you?" Klaus questioned, making the witch chuckle as she leaned against a tree.

"You don't have to be an ass." Rebekah's voice sounded over the phone, her irritation very obvious and making Klaus's lips twitch in amusement.

"Don't wreck the car and be back soon so we can go out to dinner." Klaus said before hanging up.

"How many dents do you think there'll be?" Sophia questioned with a grin, the image of Stefan trying to teach Rebekah to drive hilarious. Hopefully it wouldn't send him completely over the edge into his old ripper ways just out of frustration.

"Too many to count, I'm sure. Hopefully it'll be in one piece when they return." Sophia laughed at his expression.

"It's not like you can't afford a new car. Now let's get back to training because I'd really like to stop running into things." She said.

"Of course, we can't have a clumsy hybrid running around. You'll give us a bad name." Sophia jabbed at his side with her elbow, but Klaus only chuckled and pulled her against him for a kiss. She really was too easy to rile up.

"You're so lucky you're pretty." She sad before she stepped away, ignoring his dimples as she tried to focus.

Now was not the time to get sidetracked by the hybrid, as she really wanted to master these abilities so she could return home. School started in a few days and she was so not going to miss her first day as a senior, no ma'am.
