One Week Later:
Caroline woke up before dawn and she made her way out of bed because she wanted to go into the passageway. Ever since that day, Caroline hasn't spoken a word to Klaus and though he didn't like that, he couldn't exactly force her to do anything. Klaus was gentlemanly enough to give her his bed while he slept on the floor. The two of them were rarely around one another anymore because Caroline would disappear before he woke up and only come back when he was fast asleep.
The blonde knew that the Prince didn't mean to upset her, but she couldn't help but feel like a burden.
As Caroline was making her way into the passageway, a hand wrapped around one of her feet and she cried out and turned around slowly.
Klaus was staring up at her tiredly and she looked down at him with confusion in her bright blue eyes.
"We need to talk about what happened a couple of days ago." The Prince told her, his voice still hoarse from his slumber.
"We do not have to talk about anything, my Prince." Caroline responded as she turned away from him and waited for him to remove his hand from her leg.
"Caroline, please… You have to understand that I did not mean what I said. I was simply speaking out of my arse and I should not have done that. Especially not after what you have been through." He sighed heavily.
"I do not need you to feel sorry for me, my Prin-" Caroline began, but he interrupted her.
"Klaus," he corrected, his voice serious.
"I cannot call you by your birth name because I am but a slave that you want to keep safe for some unknown reason." The blonde shrugged.
"Caroline, please! I say stupid things when I do not think about them first. It was never my intention to hurt your feelings- you have to know that!"
"I know that, but when you said that, I thought to myself- why does this royal family member want to keep me safe? I cannot give him what he craves because of who I am and I cannot give him anything of value simply because I own nothing of value." The blonde finally finished and Klaus released her leg because he knew that she was right.
She couldn't provide him with anything of value, but he didn't care. He didn't want anything from her- all he wanted was for her to stay by his side because he was beginning to fall in love with her and he was slowly beginning to understand that he didn't want to live in a world that she wasn't a part of.
Before Klaus could say anything else to her, the blonde disappeared into the passageway and he sighed heavily and lay on his back. As he looked up at the ceiling, he shook his head and jumped up quickly because he wasn't about to let her get away again.
He went into the passageway and he spotted her sitting on the bench with a flower in her hand. For the past couple of days, he noticed that she continuously brought water into the passageway, but he never dared to ask why because he knew that she wouldn't reply.
As he made his way over to her, Caroline didn't turn around.
"Please, leave me be." She mumbled as she set the flower down into the bowl and exhaled a sad sigh.
"Caroline…" The Prince whispered.
Caroline inhaled a deep breath before she turned on her heel and faced him. She wanted to forgive him for what he said because she knew that he didn't mean it, but she couldn't bring herself to. It was like a slap in the face and she didn't know why she cared so much about what he thought about her type of people.
"JUST LEAVE ME BE PLEASE!" She cried out and her voice cracked.
Klaus was taken aback by her sudden outburst, but he nodded slowly before he backed away. He didn't want to disappoint her further. As soon as he was out of the passageway, Caroline exhaled a sigh of relief and looked over at where he was moments ago.
She heard nothing for the next five minutes and she was slowly beginning to relax, but before she could register what was happening, she was being pushed into the nearest wall and she shut her eyes. Thankfully, the blonde didn't hit her head against the hard wall, but she was still rather shaken.
Caroline opened her eyes a couple of seconds later and she relaxed when she realized that it was only Klaus.
"Wha-?" The blonde began, but wasn't able to finish because she felt the Prince's lips on her own.
Caroline didn't react at first, but she soon did because she couldn't help it. His full and luscious lips against her own felt like home and even though she knew that that sounded pathetic, it was the truth.
As their lips moved in sync, a moan escaped the girl's lips and she felt his hands on her hips. Caroline acted on impulse and she pushed her front against his front.
Klaus could feel himself hardening and he groaned as the beautiful blonde bit down on his lips. They pulled away shortly after because they needed to breathe. Their foreheads touched and they both breathed heavily.
The Prince pecked her on the lips once more before he pulled away and let her go. He backed up a couple of steps and looked down at the ground.
"Please forgive me," he begged her.
"For what?" Caroline wondered, not really listening to what he was saying.
"For everything that I have done to upset you."
Caroline nodded slowly and she shut her eyes before she gathered enough courage to lunge at him. Klaus didn't understand what she was doing at first, but before she could fall, he wrapped his arms around her waist and she looped her arms around his neck.
"What are you-?" Klaus started before he was interrupted.
"Take me," Caroline simply said and the Prince's eyes widened in surprise and confusion.
"I- what?" He asked as his eyebrows knit together.
"I want you, Klaus. I want you to be my first." She clarified even though she felt embarrassed.
What if he was going to turn his back on her? What if he didn't want to get intimate with a slave? Those questions ran through her mind, but they immediately vanished when she felt his lips on her own once again.
He pulled away from her a couple of seconds later and caught his breath..
"I want to, Caroline. I have wanted you desperately ever since I first laid eyes on you, but I never acted upon it because you are more to me than just some fuck. I fancy you, Caroline- more than I should admit and I want you to be sure- do you really want this?" He wondered, genuinely nervous.
A ghost of a smile appeared on the blonde's lips and she kissed his lips before she pulled away.
"Is that enough of an answer?" Caroline questioned as her blue eyes turned a shade lighter.
He nodded before he pulled her flush against his front. He then hoisted her up with one hand and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Klaus walked them backwards and he pressed her against the wall, gentler this time.
Caroline didn't exactly know what to do because she had zero experience and so she did what she thought was right. She pressed one of her hands against his manhood and Klaus let out a low growl and Caroline smiled against his lips.
He then pulled her gown up and as his hands trailed north of her leg, Caroline felt the goosebumps arise. His hand was approaching her womanhood slowly but surely and she felt the liquid building up between her legs. The feeling of a man's hand against her skin was obviously something new and she hoped that she wouldn't make a fool of herself.
"Relax, love." Klaus whispered into her ear reassuringly as his hand finally found her womanhood.
Caroline whimpered under his touch and a small smile appeared on the Prince's lips. He wanted to pleasure the beautiful girl thoroughly because she deserved that, but he didn't want to scare her away which is why he removed his hand from under her dress and took a couple of steps backwards.
Caroline looked over at him with her eyes wide and she wanted to cry out at the loss of his touch, but she bit her tongue.
They stared at one another, neither of them saying a word and then Klaus closed the space between them once again before he kissed her forehead.
"Did- did I do something wrong?" She asked him, her voice sad.
"No," he reassured her. "I want to take you properly," he added.
"On your chaise, then?" Caroline guessed and he nodded.
The blonde thought about it and she bit down on her bottom lip before she nodded slowly.
"Okay," she smiled.
"Okay?" Klaus questioned.
Caroline nodded once more and a big smile appeared on the Prince's lips. He picked her up and the blonde was taken aback by his sudden decision, but he smiled down at her reassuringly.
"We may not be married by law, but I hereby announce you as my wife."
"You- really?" She asked him, the surprise evident in her voice.
"I love you, Caroline. I honestly do and I don't know what I would do without you. These past few days have been a silent hell for me because I didn't hear the sound of your magnificent voice or see you smile that beautiful smile of yours, but now that you have forgiven me- or so I hope- I have finally come to an understanding that you are the only one for me." He finished.
Caroline's eyes were wide with surprise and Klaus inhaled a deep breath because he didn't know how she would react to his confession, but his doubts were put to rest when she uttered those three words back.
After they confessed their love for one another, Klaus carried her to the chaise and lay her down gently before he climbed atop her. Caroline looked up at him with need in her bright blue eyes and he smiled before he helped her turn on her back. He undid the ligature on the back of her gown and helped her out of it.
Caroline then lay on her back self-consciously and her front was exposed to the Prince of Egypt. She was stunning in every way possible and Klaus could tell that her body was perfectly proportioned. Her porcelain skin was as radiant as ever and the shy smile on her lips made Klaus want to pleasure her as best as he could.
"You are the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen, Caroline." He complimented her because it was the truth.
Caroline shook her head shyly and he nodded before he began removing his own clothing. Caroline helped him out of his robe and she began to unbutton his shirt even though her fingers were trembling.
"Do not be nervous." Klaus said as he caressed her cheek with his hand.
The blonde nodded slowly even though she was still nervous and he smiled at her before he began to undo his trousers.
"Let me," Caroline said, hoping that he wouldn't mind.
He nodded and his hands fell to his sides. Caroline urged her fingers to stop trembling and as soon as she was able to get ahold of herself, she undid his trousers.
Klaus then removed them and threw them to the floor where they fell on top of Caroline's gown and Klaus's clothing. Caroline's eyes widened as she looked at his length and Klaus shook his head embarrassed.
"I-" he started.
Caroline shook her head and she looped her arms around his neck.
Once the clothing barrier between them was removed, Klaus put his hands on either side of the blonde's head and she looked up at him with anticipation in her bright blue eyes.
The Prince smiled at her brightly and he kissed her forehead. Caroline spread her legs and he simply shook his head. He wanted their first time to be slow because he just thought that it would be more romantic that way.
His lips trailed from her forehead to her left cheek and then to her right cheek. After that, he looked down at her and waited for her approval before he made his way down.
Caroline nodded immediately and his lips then trailed between the valley of her breasts and down her torso. Caroline shivered as she felt his lips on her skin. Klaus could see the goosebumps rising on her skin and he reassured her with a kiss to the lips. The blonde relaxed and she let him do what it is that he wanted to.
As soon as his lips moved to her lower region, she inhaled a sharp breath because she could feel the vibrations.
"Relax," he whispered into her ear as he pinned her hands on the chaise. Once Caroline was relaxed, he place his lips just above her womanhood and kissed her there.
"Klaus," she hummed dreamily and he smiled because he wanted her to see just what he could do to pleasure her.
"Are you ready?" He wondered.
"Yes," she responded.
Klaus nodded and a smile appeared on his lips as Caroline spread her legs for him. Before he thrust into her with his cock, he looked over at her. He could feel the hardness of his cock and though he wanted to satiate his own wants, he needed to make sure that the blonde knew what she would feel once he thrust into her.
"Is something wrong?" The blonde wondered, the confusion evident in her voice as she ran one of her hands up the length of his arm.
"Everything is absolutely perfect, love." He reassured her. "The only thing is that this may hurt." Klaus added.
"I have been in enough pain to be able to tune it out. I will be fine, Klaus- trust me." She told him because she could see the look in his eyes.
"Rest assured, Caroline- this will be the last time that you ever feel pain." He responded because he would make sure that the rest of her life would be one filled with happiness and joy.
Caroline nodded and once Klaus knew that she would be okay, he moved lower and the tip of his cock touched her opening.
He looked down at her one more time and when she nodded, he slowly entered her folds before he broke her hymen.
Caroline let out a little whimper because she felt uncomfortable at the intrusion, but she quickly quieted down because she didn't want to scare him.
Klaus moved deeper into her and the blonde moaned at the sudden pleasurable feeling. Klaus felt her walls closing in around his cock and he then moved out a bit before he thrust into her one more time. After the pain went away, they were able to find a steady rhythm that gave both of them the pleasure that they deserved.
Caroline could feel something in the pit of her stomach and before she realized what was happening, her juices were clinging to his length.
She began breathing heavily and she felt the heat between her legs deepen.
"Are you alright?" Klaus asked her.
"I am perfect." She replied, reassuring him.
Klaus nodded in relief before he began thrusting into her again. He could feel his orgasm approaching and Caroline urged him to move quicker because she wanted him to reach his pleasure.
Shortly after, Klaus reached his orgasm and he groaned at the pleasurable release. He then slid out of her and lay down next to her.
The two were breathing heavily and Klaus wrapped his arm around Caroline's shoulder and she lay her head on his chest.
They fell asleep shortly after, but Caroline woke up about an hour later and she looked over at him with a mischievous smile on her lips. His arm was around her and so she shimmied her way out of it and once she was free, she put her legs on either side of his body.
Caroline made sure to keep her posture and she then pressed her lips to his. Klaus reacted almost immediately and his eyes shot open. He spotted her on top of him and he couldn't believe his eyes. Caroline looked like a true goddess as her golden hair cascaded down her side and her bright blue eyes shined.
"Wh-?" He began, but was interrupted.
"I am going to do something and I do not know if it is right, but I want to thank you."
"Caro-"
The blonde shook her head and before Klaus could stop her, she was settling down on his cock. Immediately, his manhood began to harden and he groaned as she reached for his hands and placed them on her waist.
Klaus picked her up and he thrust into her and the blonde began to ride him fast and hard. She remembered seeing one of the women at the brothel do this and though she didn't want to feel dirty, she wanted Klaus to know that she could pleasure him just as he could pleasure her.
They moved in sync and Caroline shut her eyes because the feeling of him hitting one of her sensitive spots was too much for her to handle. A while later, she reached her orgasm and continued to ride him even though she wanted to rest. Caroline was able to reach her second orgasm just as Klaus reached his. His seed spilled into her and Klaus pulled out of her just as she collapsed on top of him. Their breaths were coming quickly and they smiled at one another happily.
As they were smiling, they heard a knock on the door and they both looked over at it.
"What!?" Klaus shouted because he didn't want this moment to be interrupted.
"My Prince-" his guard began.
"Tell me what you have to later, Lulo." He ordered before he lay Caroline on her back.
"The pharaoh has told me that you are needed in the throne room. I cannot come back without you, my Prince." Lulo replied.
Klaus groaned in annoyance and he looked over at Caroline and shook his head apologetically.
"Go," she urged him.
"Only if you accompany me."
"But-" Caroline started, but Klaus interrupted her.
"I am going to tell him what it is that I want. I want you to be my wife, Caroline." He admitted.
"But I thought you said that we do not need a document in order to be what we want to be."
"We do not, but I want to. I want the whole of Egypt to know that I have found my one and only and I want them to know that you are my Princess."
"Are- are you serious?" Caroline questioned, genuinely curious.
"I have never been more serious in my life. Take this step with me, Caroline. Become my wife- become who you deserve to be."
"I do not know if this is…" Her voice drifted off because she was unsure of herself.
"This is the right thing to do, Caroline. Please," he begged her.
"Okay," she nodded.
"Okay?" He wondered as his eyes widened.
"Okay," she repeated as a smile appeared on her lips.
Klaus beamed at her and he pressed his lips to her own.
"My Prince…" Lulo mumbled.
"We will be there in a while, Lulo. You are excused."
"Of course, my Prince."
As Lulo took his exit, Klaus jumped out of bed and pulled on his clothing and Caroline did the same.
"Is this gown okay?" She asked him, suddenly feeling self-conscious as she straightened out the wrinkles.
"It is perfect, my love." He reassured her.
Caroline nodded and Klaus outstretched his hand for her to take. As they made their way out of the chambers, they smiled at one another happily.
What could possibly go wrong? The both thought and though they didn't know it yet, many things were about to go wrong- more than they could predict.
There you have it! I'm pretty sure the smut sucked, but then again I never was a great smut writer, so... I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter! Now, what could possibly go wrong? Many things because I can't give a happy ending without a little bit of angst. What problems do y'all think are going to arise?
