The next morning was actually rather peaceful. Caroline woke up alone she thought until she heard the light clinking of plates from the other room, the kitchen that made her sit up, watching the hybrid making toast, not a scrap of clothing on his lean figure, making her bite her bottom lip lightly.

A sight to make any woman gulp at what they felt.

For Caroline, the memories of their bodies pressed oh so close together, that burning lust, the love… the way he made her feel…God.

It was too early to be thinking of these things, but his naked, more than enticing form wasn't a good distraction.

He turned around with the large plate in his hand, striding over to the bed and sitting back down with a low groan, setting his feet up and crossing his ankles, placing the plate between them, picking up a slice and waggling his brows at the blonde.

Caroline tutted, but leaned forwards and bit into it with a light giggle escaping her lips as she chewed and swallowed.

Klaus chuckled lightly, setting the piece down, raising a hand and placing it on her cheek, leaning forwards to kiss her, smiling against her toast tasting lips.

"You're adorable." He muttered, pecking her lips, making Caroline scoff. "Adorable? I thought I was supposed to be feisty?"

Klaus paused, then had the plate on the cabinet beside them, atop her in a flash, pinning her arms to her side, kissing her neck as he mumbled against it.

"You're a little wildcat, sweetheart. But you have a tamer side too."

Caroline closed her eyes in contentment, tracing a finger up his spine lightly as she muttered back. "Like you then?"

The hybrid cocked his head at that as he pulled away, staring into her eyes for a moment before leaning down, whispering against her lips. "Maybe so love."

There was silence, a pause before Klaus leaned down the last centimeter or two to kiss her gently, hands loosening their grips on her arms so she could snake them around his neck, kissing him back with a growing passion.

She must have been out of her mind.

But she loved him.

Utterly and completely.

He leaned down more now, feeling Carolines hands trace up his back, kissing under her chin with a low groan, closing his eyes to mutter. "You're so beautiful."

Caroline pouted at that, a playful smirk on her face as she flipped them over, straddling his own hips, placing her hands on his chest, leaning down and giggling against his lips. "Shush."

The hybrid cocked a brow, eyes taking in her bare form above him, biting his bottom lip a little- she was perfectly ravishing.

But then… she always looked ravishing.

He rolled them over onto their sides now, raising a hand and brushing the loose strands of golden hair from her eyes, leaning forwards and pressing a rather tender kiss to her lips.

Caroline snuggled into his chest, closing her eyes once more with a small yawn, happy that she was encircled protectively in his arms.

Naked cuddling with a hybrid… she never would have thought she'd be doing that like… a month ago.

But here she was.

-Marked-

Caroline woke up later on, blinking in surprise that she'd nodded off once more, groaning lightly as she called. "Nik?"

There was no reply.

She turned over to the other side of the bed, spying a note on the bed… atop a large flat white cardboard box.

For now, Caroline picked up the note and read-

'Caroline, I've headed out to sort out a few things. I'll be back tonight. Meet me in reception at this for me love. Love Klaus'

Caroline picked up the box now, opening it to find a deep dark ruby knee length, strapless colored dress. She pulled it out and held it up, smiling at it-

What a sweetheart he could be.

She spent the day at the spa, relaxing with Elena and Bonnie. What a lie she was going to have to make up later when she had to 'go bed early.'

But at 7:30, she just managed to escape by saying she felt sick. Wanting to be left alone. Sure, Caroline felt guilty about it… but the excitement for seeing Klaus was palpable in the air.

She loved him.

No one could change that.

He was everything she could have wanted, now that she'd let him inside. More or less into her heart.

So she got dressed, straightening her hair for once, smiling at her reflection, feeling so… bubbly. She wanted it to be 8pm already.

She wanted those arms around her once more, hugging her tight.

…she wanted him to kiss her until her head spun once more.

Then, the allotted time came and she slipped out of her room, locking the door behind her and tiptoeing past her friends room and downstairs to the reception where she waited in her new ruby red dress.

Arms crept around her waist now, a kiss pressed under her ear, followed with a tender whisper of. "Hello love."

Caroline closed her eyes, a smile creeping onto her face as she was hugged into his chest, going. "It's rude to creep up on someone."

"Since when did I care?" Klaus muttered into her ear, pressing another kiss to her cheek, groaning lightly. "You look so rav-"

"Hush-" Caroline went hurriedly, turning around in his arms, pressing a finger to his lips. "Not here."

The hybrid pouted, kissing along her jaw line for a moment before she pulled away, laughing out. "Goodness my love, what's gotten into you?"

Klaus smiled innocently, shrugging. "Good mood."

"Yeah. I don't dare look down incase there's something that will poke my leg."

"Don't look down."

"Thought so. Hold my bag."

The hybrid said nothing as he took her bag and held it before him, a sour look upon his face as Caroline sent him a playful wink.

"Boner boy." She coughed out as they walked, getting a filthy look in return.

-Marked-

When they got to the restaurant, Caroline had her bag back, looking around the place as Klaus led her to their table he had booked by the window.

The place was situated on the beach, the view spectacular over the ocean. She took her seat, staring out over the bay. The sun was more or less fully set now, the surface of the water a deep dark blue, reflecting the twinkling stars above.

"To your taste love?" He asked, taking his seat opposite, making Caroline turn to face him, a smile upon her face. "I love it."

"Like you love me?"

Caroline rolled her eyes with a laugh, leaning forwards, telling the hybrid. "Now you're getting cocky."

"But I love being cocky." Klaus smirked, leaning forwards, kissing her in a flash, making Caroline roll her eyes, sitting back, glancing up as their starter arrived, making her frown. "How did you know I liked chicken soup?"

Klaus just winked slyly, just saying. "You seem that type of girl, sweetheart."

He was too good a guesser.

They ate in silence, Caroline avoiding his eyes, wondering why she was doing that. She wasn't shy around him.

Like… how could she be shy of a man she'd been so very intimate with-?

She'd gotten over that.

But at times he did still scare her. He was a thousand years old. A monster at that.

Her beautiful monster.

The main was lasagna, and Caroline finally spoke-

"Why me?"

Klaus paused at that, swallowing his mouthful and chuckling lightly. "You're beautiful, Caroline. Just… so beautiful."

She said nothing at that, gazing into his eyes before she muttered. "I don't believe you."

Klaus stared, then scoffed, setting down his fork. "Why love?"

"I'm not perfect."

"Neither am I."

"You're damn flawed."

"I know I am."

Klaus smirked, leaning forwards and catching the girls hands into his own. "I'm your flawed hybrid. I can't say anything else… no lies."

Caroline gazed into his eyes, closing her own as he pressed another kiss to her lips, muttering against them. "Are you done?"

"Mmmhmm." Caroline nodded, letting herself take the hybrids hand, pulling her outside in a flash where he led her over to the pier, walking them along it where he pulled her down to sit next to him, swinging their legs over the side, Caroline resting her head on his shoulder, muttering.

"If they knew about us…"

Klaus knew what she meant- her friends.

They didn't even know that he was alive.

And he wanted to keep it that way.

"Shush Sweetheart-" he muttered, tilting her head up so he could press a surprisingly gentle kiss to her lush lips.

A pause later, Klaus kissed under her ear, groaning. "Care…"

She searched out his lips once more, kissing him heatedly before breathing against them. "Klaus…"

He pulled her to her feet, pushing her against the railings of the pier, kissing her almost hungrily for a second, a smirk twitching onto his face. "I made you a promise, didn't I?"

"You did."

"I better keep it then."

-Marked-

Caroline closed her eyes as the hybrid slammed her into the back of the bedroom door, moving to her neck, tearing a gasp from her lips as he growled into her ear.

"Get those fucking clothes off."

"Get them off me then."

Klaus snarled once more, and Caroline pushed him backwards onto the bed, walking over to the radio, switching it on with a smirk, arching a brow as Marianas Trench - All To Myself blared, shrugging as she straddled his hips, raking her fingers down his chest, hooking into his shirt and ripping it open, letting him yank her down to his lips, the hybrids hand sneaking up her back, undoing her bra in one yank, pulling her dress off over her head with it.

Caroline closed her eyes as he went to her breast, kissing her nipple hungrily while the other went to her other, massaging it, breathing out. "Someone is more than impatient-"

He never answered, smirking as he felt her nipple hardening at his touch, moving up to her neck once more while Carolines hand sneaked downwards, rubbing the rapidly growing front of his jeans, groaning heavily.

Caroline felt him shrug his shirt off, yanking his jeans off with boxers, gasping shock as he flipped her over, straddling her legs, pulling down her panties with a dark smirk, taking her hips and yanking her back against him onto her knees, Caroline biting her lip as he kissed up her spine, smirking. "I got you all to myself."

He ran his hands down her thighs, pulling them apart with a grunt, giving Caroline no chance to prepare herself as he next to rammed into her, holding her hips tight as he pulled out almost completely, cocking a brow. "Silent for once?" he slammed back into her, feeling her walls attempt to adjust to his length, but he never gave her chance as he repeatedly rammed into her, satisfied to hear the gasps, increasing in volume and frequency.

Carolines hands knotted into the bedcovers, closing her eyes tightly, not able to say anything as he growled out. "Caroline…"

She never answered, and that was why Klaus wound a hand into her hair, growling out as he yanked her head back. "You were supposed to respond."

"What-" she moaned out, and Klaus ignored her now, kissing up her spine to the side of her left breast, and Caroline never saw his eyes flash golden, both sets of fangs, vampire and werewolf, shoot out. But she felt them as he bit into her with a dark snarl, making her scream.

Klaus let go after a moment, pulling out and flipping her onto her back, going to her neck and kissing it more than hungrily.

Carolines eyes snapped open as he ripped into her neck now, a scream tearing from her lips and when she raised her hands to push him off, he caught her wrists, pinning them above her head as he rammed back into her, still biting at her neck with a groan, oblivious to the bites that were spreading, becoming more painful.

"Klaus-!" She moaned out, tinged with pain, feeling him finally pull his fangs out, moving to her lips where he kissed her with a hungry passion.

Caroline snarled and freed her hands at last, shoving him hard so he went smashing backwards into the opposite wall, sitting against it with golden eyes and bloodied fangs.

She raised a hand to each of her bites, hissing to him. "You bit me!"

"You tasted nice."

Caroline scoffed, shaking her head at him, gasping lightly as her bites twinged.

Klaus raised a hand to his head, rubbing it and closing his eyes as his fangs receded, opening them once more, and Caroline saw they were back to normal.

"Fuck. Sorry love…" he muttered, getting to his feet with a groan, walking over, catching Carolines wrist as she went to take a step back, genuinely scared he'd lose control once more.

Klaus caught wrist and yanked her to him, biting his own and forcing it to her mouth, making her drink.

After her bites were healed, Caroline shoved him away, stalking to the bathroom and slamming the door behind her, locking it.

Klaus yanked on his boxers and got into bed, staring at the ceiling, listening to her showering, feeling… guilty.

Trust him to be so volatile.

And bite her…

When she came out in her towel, she refused to meet his eyes.

"Caroline…" Klaus muttered, and she said quietly. "What."

"I'm… sorry."

Caroline looked over to him, letting out a heavy sigh as she wandered over, sitting down next to him. The hybrid wrapped around her waist, pulling her close, pressing a kiss to her cheek, whispering. "I love you, Caroline. Truly."

She fell silent at that, closing her eyes as he kissed her gently, sighing against her lips. "What a messed up pair we are."

Caroline snuggled into his chest, eyes still closed, sighing too "Yes my love."

"A match made in heaven."

"Or a match made in hell."

Both versions were right.
