Hi! I'm so glad that you liked the previous chapter, thank you very much for the nice reviews. I hope you'll like this one too, please let me know.

I want to warn you for this chapter, it's a really cheesy one! I needed to channeling frustration of not seeing Klaroline since a month...

Please remember that english is not my first language, I apologize for any mistake you coud find.

I don't own anything in TVD.

It had been one month since Caroline had her explanation with her friends. Bonnie and Elena were still not thrilled about the situation, but they were really missing Caroline and the three girls had managed to spend some time together. Things were not back to normal, but they were trying to find an understanding.

Caroline had spoken to her mum too. Liz had been far away to be thrilled about her daughter falling for Klaus. But over the past few months, she had noticed how much her daughter had changed. She had been happier, cheerier, and seemed finally peaceful. Liz hadn't been delighted to discover that she had to thank Klaus for that, but the most important thing for her was Caroline' happiness. So, after asking her daughter to be extra careful, she had stopped making any comments on Caroline's decision.

Despite the tension with her friends, Caroline was happy. She had decided stop going to high school. What was the point anyway? She was a vampire, wasn't she? She could do anything, so why bother with high school? Anyway, Klaus was the best teacher she could ever have. He could talk about history or geography, he could discuss about music, arts or literature, he could argue about politics or economy. Why bother to go in high school when you can learn anything you want to, wrap into the arms of the man you love, your head on the crook of his neck?

Klaus would have wanted to take Caroline away from Mystic Falls, and make her discover the world, as he had promised. But her relationship with her friends still being tense, Caroline didn't feel like living right now. Klaus understood, so they spent their time together, simply talking or drawing or reading or walking. Klaus also made a point of honor to keep his promise about the rules asked by Caroline. He was particularly happy to keep his word on the particular sex and cuddling requests. The first week she had spent with him in the mansion, they had barely left his bed. He had reminded her her promise to spend as much time as he wanted in bed with him. And Caroline had been too glad to oblige. They couldn't get enough of each other. They had barely finished sharing a passionate embrace that they were already craving each other for more. Neither of them had ever known such a feeling. Nothing was better for Caroline that Klaus' hands on her body. Nothing was better for Klaus than Caroline' skin against his. Caroline knew he had ruined her forever for any other man, the same way Klaus knew she had ruined him forever for any other woman.

Klaus was mesmerized by the time he was spending with Caroline. Being on a daily basis with a woman was so new for him, that every day was a discovery. Life with Caroline was a succession of happy moments.

He remembered this day, when the storm was rumbling outside and the rain was hitting the windows. He had made a big comforting fire in his bedroom's fireplace. He then had spent the entire day alternatively ravishing passionately Caroline's body, and holding her lovingly in his arms.

He thought about this other time, when they had been swimming at the Falls. He still remembered vividly the first time they had been there together. He could still feel how much he had had to struggle to not ripping Caroline's bikini off and stroking every inch of her skin. This second time, he had taken his revenge, and the bikini's life had been extremely short.

He recalled that night, when they had been to a party organized by the town. Caroline was wearing a skinny black dress, which left her shoulders naked and hid nothing of her long legs. Klaus had spent the entire evening devouring her with his eyes, and fantasizing about the moment he could tear the dress off. The problem was that he wasn't the only one to look at her that way. Caroline was so gorgeous than men were naturally drawn to her and it made Klaus want to tear some hearts out. He had growled extremely dangerously when some guy had dared to take Caroline's hands in his, and compliment her on her beauty. The guy had been so terrified by the animalistic growl, that he had left the room almost running. Klaus had then put a very possessive arm around Caroline hips and had refused to let it go. The truth was Caroline didn't even ask him to let it go. Even if she was now that strong and confident and independent woman, she had found out that she loved the possessiveness of Klaus. She loved the way his arm was locked around her when she was surrounded by other men. His whole attitude was screaming "mine" but she didn't bother because she knew that her attitude was the same. She thought about this particular night, in some restaurant, when the waitress had been drooling all over Klaus. Caroline had had to fight the urge to just bite the bitch who was daring to look at HER Klaus. She had given the waitress such a deadly look, almost showing her her fangs in her fury, that the waitress had asked to someone else to take care of their table. Caroline had then leant over the table to give a wild and passionate kiss to Klaus, her whole attitude screaming "mine" the exact same way than Klaus' attitude did. This night, the red dress she was wearing had been ripped off in less than one second.

Caroline complained about it, one night, tangled in Klaus' arms.

"You know, you really have to stop ripping my clothes off, I've almost nothing left to wear" she said, smiling.

Klaus chuckled and kissed her hair.

"That's the whole point of my evil plan sweetheart" he explained. "I'm waiting for the moment you'll have no clothes left so you'll have no choice but walking around naked. It will save me some time every time I will want to ravish you and God knows how often it is!"

Caroline burst into laugh and kissed him.

Klaus rolled over her and pinned her hands above her head.

"The truth is, I want you so badly all the time that I can't wait to undress you properly to feel your skin against mine". His voice was suddenly low and husky and Caroline shivered.

"The truth is, I love when you ripped my clothes off. It makes me feel like you crave me" she admitted on the same low voice.

Klaus growled at her admission and made sure to rip her nightgown off.

Caroline was scared by her addiction to him. She quickly found out that she couldn't stay away from him more than a few hours. After their first week of passion, Caroline decided to spend the night in her own house. She knew her mum missed her and she wanted to spend some time with her. After a sweet evening with her mum, Caroline spent hours turning and tossing in her bed, unable to find sleep. She was craving for Klaus' arms around her, and her pillow definitely couldn't compete with his warm chest. She showed up in Klaus' bedroom at 4 in the morning, to find him wide awake.

He sat up when he saw her enter the room.

"What's wrong, love?" he asked, a little concerned.

Caroline undressed herself and slid in the bed next to him.

"What is wrong" she answered while she was nuzzling against him "is that it seems like I can't sleep anymore if I'm not in your arms".

Klaus laughed happily and pulled her in his arms.

"That's a wonderful wrong thing, sweetheart" he said, grinning "because it seems like I've got the same problem. I couldn't close my eyes for one second since you left."

Caroline smiled happily and started to kiss him passionately, turning the sweet moment in another passionate embrace.

But her addiction to him was worse than that. She couldn't bear being in the same room than him without touching him. When they were with other people, it was a hand on his shoulder or on his back, an arm around his waist. But when they were alone, it was her two arms around his neck or his chest, and her body as close as possible to his. She couldn't get enough of being wrapped in his arms, her head crooked in his neck. She was always scared that at some point he would get tired of her displays of affection, and start thinking that she was clingy. She tried really hard to give him some space and to not touch him all the time, but it was hopeless.

Klaus noticed than sometimes she came nuzzling against him, and then pull back quickly and it puzzled him.

"Where are you going?" he asked once, holding her waist against him. Caroline blushed slightly.

"Just trying not to be too clingy" she admitted softly. Klaus look at her truly shocked.

"Are you serious?" he asked incredulously.

"Well, yes. Aren't you tired of me always being wrapped around you? Because I don't want you being tired of me in any way" Caroline whispered.

Klaus cupped her face to make her look at him.

"How can you say that? How can you even think such a thing? I can't get enough of you Caroline, I just can't! When you're with your mum or with your friends, I'm totally unable to think about anything else that the moment you'll come back to me and I could have you in my arms again. I'm never happier than when you are in my arms. How can you think another way?"

"I don't know. I guess I'm just a little insecure."

"You have to stop being insecure" Klaus replied firmly. "You make me happier than I've ever been and there is no way I find you clingy".

Caroline smiled but he noticed that the smile didn't reach her eyes. She hesitated but as he was keep staring lovingly at her, she continued

"You know, I can't help but wondering why you chose me. I mean, you're one thousand years old, you've done everything, you've been everywhere. I'm just an eighteen years old girl, who has never been anywhere. I'm not sure to understand what you see in me. What can I possibly bring you that you don't already have?"

Caroline's voice was slightly shaking. It was a sensitive spot and it was hard for her to stay steady. She couldn't help but being terrified of him leaving her. He became so important to her, that the idea of living without him was killing her.

Klaus was stunned. Himself was feeling very insecure about Caroline's feelings because he had never believed that such an amazing woman could really fall for him. But it had never crossed his mind that Caroline could be scared of losing him. He was constantly wondering when she was going to open her eyes and leave him, but he had never thought that she could feel the same way.

He lifted her face so he could look straight in her eyes.

"I can't believe that you feel that way. You seriously don't realize what you bring me? You make me feel again Caroline. You make me human again. I spent one thousand years with my humanity turn off and you are bringing it back. How dare you saying that you don't bring anything to me?"

Klaus was almost angry and Caroline felt it.

"I'm sorry, I'm just scared that one day you could be tired of me, and it makes me sad" admitted miserably Caroline.

"I could never get tired of you Caroline, never. You have no idea the way I feel about you. I crave you Caroline. I crave your smile, I crave your laugh, your voice, your lips, I crave your body, your smell, I crave your skin" Caroline had never heard such desperation in his voice and it made her shiver but Klaus wasn't finish.

"If you doubt the way I feel about you, I crave you more than I crave blood".

Caroline looked at him, unable to speak as a big lump was forming in her throat but Klaus was still not finish. He inhaled deeply and finally whispered

"I love you Caroline".

Caroline felt waves of pure joy running through her whole body. She couldn't remember living such an ideal and beautiful moment. Klaus's declaration was just perfect. Unable to speak, she kissed him passionately, trying to make him feel the pure happiness she was feeling. Klaus gripped her tightly and kissed her back with equal passion. He had never told such a thing to anybody, and he was a little anxious about her reaction. Caroline eventually pulled back a little and pressed her forehead against his.

"I think I've never been so happy" she whispered. "Never. And I have something that I really need to tell you. I love you too."

Klaus closed his eyes, unable to process her words.

"You love me?" he asked almost incredulously.

Caroline nodded. "I do. Actually, I'm so crazy about you, that I don't think I could be able to be apart from you only one day. And as you already noticed, I'm unable not touching you when we're in the same room. I'm hopelessly addicted to you and to your touch"

Klaus gave her the biggest grin she had ever seen.

"Well, I have to say that I think this kind of addiction is actually excellent for you" he said teasingly.

Caroline smiled too "Oh yeah, you think? I don't need to be cured or something?"

"Definitely not! If it's up to me, believe me, my love, you're going to be more and more addicted every day" exclaimed Klaus.

"I don't see how it's possible" said Caroline, doubtful.

"I'm sure I'll find a way sweetheart, because believe me, now you told me you love me, you have absolutely no chance that I'll ever let you go."

"It's totally fine by me" whispered adoringly Caroline.

Klaus grinned again. "You can be sure that I'll remind you that at some point" he teased again.

Caroline didn't answer but sliding her arms behind his neck, she pulled him closer to kiss him. Klaus stopped her at the last moment.

"Just one last thing" he said firmly. "About the touching thing and your stupid idea about being clingy. Once for all, this is stupid ok? I love you and I love having you in my arms so I don't want to hear that kind of stupidities ever again. Are we clear my love?"

Caroline couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, we are clear".

Klaus nodded. "Ok, so now, I thought you were about to kiss me, weren't you?"

Caroline chuckled.

"Yes I was". And this time, when she pressed her lips against his, he wrapped tightly his arms around her waist, and kissed her back hungrily.
