Chapter 15

As I get off the plane in New Orleans, I realise that I have no idea where to find Nik. I know he is in the city, and he talks about the French Quarter a lot, but that is not super helpful. I decide to grab a taxi and head for the Quarter. I might as well start somewhere.

I look out the window of the cab, taking in the sights of the city. It really is a beautiful city. I hope that Nik will take some time and show me around. I love the way he plays tour guide for me. My taxi drops me off in front of a hotel and I pay him for the ride. Not knowing where to find Nik, I check into the hotel for a night drop my bag in the room and head out to explore the city. I have made it past a few bars, and shops before I realize that I have not eaten anything today, food or otherwise. Deciding to grab dinner in the next place I see I continue down the road. I find a small pub and head inside to grab a table.

I am sitting in the back corner when eating a burger and onion rings nursing vodka slime when I see them come in. Nik enters the bar with Elijah and two young girls. They slide into a booth and are talking quietly, I can barely make out anything that they are saying. But I have no problem reading their body language. Nik is laughing at everything the dumb brunette is saying, and letting her run her hands over his arms. I can feel the tears starting again, for the third time that day. I am such an idiot. I should have known that someone like Klaus would never be happy with just me, no one is ever happy with just me; I am no one's first choice. Downing rest of my drink, I muster all the courage I have and flash out of the bar, and right up to my hotel room.

I curl up on my bed and cry; I couldn't have been there more than 5 minutes when there is a knock on my door. I ignore it, whoever it is must have the wrong room.

"Caroline, Love, open the door" I hear his smooth accent come through the door.

"Go away Klaus!" I yell back at him.

"Please open the door. We need to talk and I refuse to do so through the bloody door!"

"I don't want to talk to you, please go away." With that I hear him flash away. Thinking that I have won I curl further into the bed and let the tears flow. Not 2 minutes later I hear the electronic beep of the lock being opened and see Klaus walking through the door.

"I said I don't want to talk to you" I muffle into the pillow, not wanting him to see my tears.

I feel the bed dip as he sits on the edge. His hand comes over to grab my shoulder forcing me to turn towards him. "Caroline, what are you doing here?" he asks.

Deciding there is no point in lying or hiding I push myself up on the bed and look at him. "It has been 3 weeks since I had seen my boyfriend, I have had an absolutely shitty day and decided that enough was enough I was coming to see what was keeping you here. And see it I did. I am a big girl Klaus, you could have just told me you were bored and ready to move on. I am not stupid, I have been through this enough to know that I am no one's first choice; I am no one's forever girl. I am a convenient hot body when the mood arises until something better comes along. So save the apologies and please leave. I will be out your city tomorrow morning, and you never have to see me again." I tell him trying to keep the tears back.

"Caroline, you are an idiot" He tells me moving closer to me on the bed. "What you saw tonight was my brother and I convincing two of Marcel's girls to turn on him. Yes, we may have turned the charm up a little high, but we needed them to want us more than Marcel. He is the whole reason I am still hear. He is running this city like a power crazed lunatic. He has forced the witches out of the Quarter, has banned the wolves from entering the city and allowing vampires to feed freely on the population. We needed some people inside his circle so we can bring him down." He explains to me grabbing my hands. "I could never grow bored of you; you are my forever, my first choice, my everything. I have been so secretive because I didn't want you to end up in the middle of all this. I wanted you safe and happy with your friends until I could be with you again."

I can't stop myself; I push off the bed and capture his lips in mine. I have missed him so much, and was feeling so foolish about this whole situation. Pulling back I look into his beautiful blue eyes seeing all the love and longing in them that are reflected in mine.

"I am sorry Nik, I should have called before I came, and I should trust you, and trust in us."

"You have nothing to apologise for Love. I should have told you what was happening here, leaving you in the dark was not the right thing to do."

That was enough talking for now; I had not been with my man in over three weeks. I pull him back in for another kiss pulling his body down on top of mine. My hands run through the curls at the base of his neck, pulling him even closer to me. He kisses me with all the passion and longing that we have been missing. His lips never leave mine as he rolls us over so that I am on top. I can feel his erection pushing into me through his jeans. I grind my hips down creating wonderful friction. I hear him moan into the kiss.

His hands start working on the buttons of my shirt while he kisses me. Once they are all open, he pushes the shirt down my arms and onto the bed. My bra soon follows as he switches our positions again. He starts to kiss his way down my neck, stopping to suck at the point he drank from last time. My blood is pumping faster knowing what it felt like to have him drink from me. He continues to kiss my neck and chest until he reaches me breasts which he has taken into his mouth and is savouring. My back arches as I moan his name. It feels so good to me underneath of him again, feeling his mouth on me.

He pulls back and pulls his shirt over his head. I smile at the sight of his hard muscular upper body. I push him back and crawl on top of him taking my time kissing and licking down his chest. When I reach the top of his pants, I pop the button open and grab the top of his pants and underwear and push them down his legs. He helps me by kicking them the rest of the way off. I look up at him as I take the tip of his cock into my mouth. I hear him hiss as I work my way further down, taking his whole length in my mouth. I start to move up and down, twisting my tongue around his cock as I go. I repeat the action for several minutes listening to him moan my name. I add my hands in, rolling his balls in my palm as I suck his dick harder and faster. I feel his balls get tight in my hand right before he moans my name and shoots his warm cum down my throat.

I smile while licking my lips; I love the taste of him. He pulls me up to him and kisses me hard, tasting himself on me. He pulls back with a grin and mirrors my movements from before. My pants and underwear are soon on the floor next to his. He settles himself between my legs as his mouth descends onto my pussy. He licks through the wet folds, finding the sensitive bundle of nerves and flicking his tongue back and forth. I am already panting and moaning his name. He continues his assault on my wet center with his mouth as I fell him insert a single finger inside me. He moves it in and out a few times before adding a second. He starts to scissor his fingers loosening me up to take him in. It is not long before I feel my orgasm building. A few more moves of his tongue and I am falling to pieces.

Before the orgasm has passed I feel him slide inside of me. I feel complete for the first time in weeks. He thrusts hard and fast inside of me. We both know that his is about pure desire and the need to feel connected to the other person. His speed keeps picking up, making me thankful that I am a vampire. I am meeting him with every thrust. His movements became frantic and I grab his head and pull him down to me. I sink my fangs into his neck tasting the first drops of his blood on my tongue. He follows suit. I can feel him pulling my blood out and the twinge from the werewolf venom that is quickly dissolved as his blood enters my system. I feel us both tumble into ecstasy together.

We break apart and I snuggle into his arms. I feel content and safe. I feel like I can make it through the next few weeks as long as I have him. We really are meant to be together.

I look over at him laying there with a happy smile.

"Did you know that Bekah and Stefan are sleeping together again?" I ask him

"What!?" he replies, looking at me like I am crazy.

"Yup, found that out this morning when I stopped to see if Stefan would be my prom date so that I wouldn't have to go with Tyler. I interrupted a very intimate moment." I explain.

"Well that doesn't really surprise me; they were in love in the 1920s until I compelled Stefan to forget about her. If they have true feelings they would come back. The more important question is, why would you have to go with Tyler is Stefan was not your date?"

"Well Tyler has asked me almost daily since he got back, I was running out of excuses. I hoped that Tyler would back off if he knew that I had a date. But since not, I think I might just not go to Prom. I don't really want to spend the night with some random when I really want to be with you."

"I am sorry Caroline, I am sorry that I cannot give you the prom you desire. But I will make it up to you. I promise." He says kissing the top of my head.

A sharp knock at the door breaks the moment. We both look at each other, curious as to who is at my door.

"Nik, are you just about done, we have a situation that requires your attention." I hear Elijah's voice through the door.

I look at Nik, very confused as to why his brother is here, and if he knows what is going on. As if he read my mind he continued.

"Give Miss Forbes the address to the house and a set of keys. You can meet her back there in an hour. This will not take long brother. Meet you in the lobby in 10." He finishes as we hear him walk away.

"OK, that was a little awkward. When did you tell Elijah about us?" I ask Nik

"I have not, but I guess I have not been as discreet as I could have been in my nightly conversations with you. I also did run out of the pub without an explanation to follow you. He is a smart man." He tells me smiling while getting out of bed.

After he is dressed he writes an address on a piece of paper and hands it to me with a set of keys. "I will be back as soon as I can. I will bring food and blood. I love you Caroline." He finishes kissing me on the forehead.

I watch him leave and then sink back into the bed. This was certainly not how I thought the night was going to progress, but it has been very enjoyable.
