Hi beautiful readers! Thank you again for all your nice and kind reviews. :)
Anyway, here's the next chapter! :)
"You heard that?" Matt asked Bonnie.
Both of them had their eyes on a door, the sound of the phone kept on ringing.
Bonnie lifted an eyebrow. "Yeah, I do"
Matt, frowning, placed a hand on the doorknob. Slowly, he twisted the knob and opened the door.
Her eyes shot at Bonnie after she sees her when the door opened wide. She quickly straightened up.
"Oh, hey Bonnie" she said, her eyes wide and her teeth shows, smiling.
Surprise is written all over Bonnie's face, as well as in Matt's.
But after a second, Bonnie smiled.
"Oh there you are, I kept texting you Elena." Bonnie said as she placed her phone back in her pocket. She turned her eyes to Elijah who stood up when he saw the two enter the room.
"Good evening Miss Bennet, and Mr. Donovan. It's a pleasure, to have you again here in our home" Elijah greeted them with a polite smile.
Bonnie and Matt returned the same smile to Elijah.
"This is uhm, interesting...?" Bonnie said next as Matt closed the door behind him.
Elena stood up. "Oh I was alone downstairs so I figured I'd wait in a room for you and Caroline. I came in here but I didn't really know Elijah's here. So..." Elena said, shrugging. "I'm sorry Bon I didn't answer the phone at once, we're playing poker by the way... And I'm winning" Elena grinned, looking back at Elijah.
Elijah smiled back at Elena. Beaming, he turned to Bonnie and Matt. "Would you like to join us? It would be a pleasure. Or, are you returning downstairs?" Elijah asked them.
"Yeah, we have to go back there, and well, make the most out of this party. And we have to find Caroline as well." says Bonnie.
"Oh she was talking with Tyler the last time I saw her" said Elena. She faced Elijah. "I guess we have to go back there. Are you not coming down?"
"No, I'm afraid I might not enjoy the scene downstairs as much as you do."
Elena nodded. "Well, okay then, we'll get going. Thanks, by the way, for keeping me company. I enjoyed our little game." Elena gave Elijah a smile.
"I'm sure you did enjoy watching my repeated defeat. It's a pleasure to keep you company Elena." He looked at her with serenity in his eyes and a small smile on his lips.
Elena, Bonnie and Matt left the room.
"He didn't seem so dangerous back there" Matt commented after the door closed.
The three walked further down the hallway and down the stairs. The music got louder and Elena and Bonnie grinned wider at each other as they heard their favorite dance song play.
"Just text Caroline we're dancing!" Elena told Bonnie, almost shouting against the loud music.
"Alright!" Bonnie shouted back.
They giggled as they both pulled Matt towards the dance floor and started swaying their bodies through the music.
Meanwhile, in that little dark space inside a closet just across the room where everyone had been...
Caroline swallowed.
His touch. His stare. His warmth. His breathing. All of it. It's intoxicating her.
She bit her lip as Klaus leaned down on her, his hand cupping her face.
"Please...Klaus...don't" she said almost as softly as a breath.
She placed her hands in between their bodies, on his chest, clutching his shirt tightly. Her hold on his shirt gets tighter and tighter as if it would turn off the continuous beating of her undead heart.
Klaus closed his eyes and slowly placed his lips on her ear, softly breathing air across her cheek. He smelled her hair and nibbled on her ear.
Caroline shut her eyes and let out a little sigh. The slightest of his touch sent shivers on her skin and lightning in her bloodstream.
Klaus, with all his might, held his other hand very still on his side, balled into a fist, despite the aching desire to grab Caroline's waist closer to him.
He breathed deeply. Gently, he slid his other hand from her face down her shoulders and down her arm.
"It's okay now sweetheart. They're gone." Klaus softly whispered on her ear.
Caroline's eyes flew open. Her senses came back to her as Klaus pulled himself away from her slowly. After sharing an intense gaze, the two of them straightened up. Caroline opened the closet and stepped out, walking further away so Klaus can come out.
She felt grateful for the wider space the hallway had given her. She filled her lungs with air and sighed deeply. But she frowns in worry as the thumping on her chest doesn't seem to stop.
There she stands, her back on Klaus, her numb mind is trying to collect itself. She perked up her head and tried to gain composure.
But she feels things so much clearer now. She feels frightened. And excited.
"Caroline" He called, his voice gentle, and soothing, and it sure made her knees weak.
She turned around and found him looking straight at her. His eyes are piercing through hers, each one reflects longing and desire, the same thing Klaus can see from hers.
Caroline bit her lip nervously. How Klaus stared at her, it melted her composure just like that.
Everything suddenly became a blur. In one swift move, both of them paced towards each other at the same time.
Klaus is very quick to grab and hold her body to him. And with a passion so great and staggering, Caroline held his face and kissed him so fiercely like no other.
This time, Caroline thought, there's no way she will faint.
If it wasn't for them not being vampires, and having so much fun, Bonnie and Elena would have gone looking for Caroline all over the mansion.
If it weren't for the loud music and the noisy people around them, Kol and Rebekah would have heard the moans, sighs and groans of bliss upstairs.
If it wasn't for Matt who's fun to chat with and to be with, Rebekah would have heard Caroline moan her brother's name breathlessly at the feel of him touching her everywhere.
If it wasn't for the sight of stupid teenagers doing stupid things entertaining him enough, Kol would have heard his brother grunt in pleasure at the feel of Caroline pressing herself into him.
If it wasn't for the earlier scenes of teenagers making out on the hallways of his house, Elijah would have noticed how the passionate noises are made by two people he knows.
Reckless, Klaus knew he is. But he wants Caroline to let go, to free herself, and that time is when she chose to do it.
And for Caroline to taste his lips, to grind herself against him, to writhe under him, to melt under his touch, is something that has made him out of control.
The two found their way back to his room. On the softness of his bed, Klaus hovers above her. They kissed and touched each other. Klaus trailed kisses from her ears down to her neck and to her collarbone and up again, back to devour her lips.
Caroline welcomed his kisses and his touch with breathless moaning. She marvelled on the softness of his hair and the rigidness of his bare chest.
But before Caroline could feel the aching need for him to be in a more intimate position, she tensed and stopped herself. She looked at Klaus and after a moment, Klaus understood her.
They relaxed and sat on the bed. She breathed deeply. Suddenly she can't believe she just made out with Klaus.
Quietly, they made themselves decent and he walked with her out the door. After collecting all her courage, Caroline gazed up on him.
Silence continued between them first. Then Caroline spoke.
"Okay, that was completely weird, I uhm, I-" she sighed.
And she stopped when he smiled at her, a genuine, sincere smile. And she thought her heart just tumbled.
And she knew she shouldn't feel like this. This is someone she has to hate.
"Just to be clear, this is a huge mistake. And this doesn't change anything. Alright?" she told him as coldly as she can though she knew perfectly her words are empty.
Klaus only chuckled. And as she watches him, Caroline realized she has failed miserably. Because now, she wasn't able to stop herself from grinning back at him.
She pursed her lips as she tried to stop herself from smiling. She sighed deeply when she somehow succeeded. But the twinkling in her eyes is something she can't just remove.
"Well, good night Klaus." she whispered at him.
Klaus took her hand and squeezed it. He brought it to his lips and kissed it softly. Those he did without leaving her eyes.
"Good night love. I'll see you tomorrow." he smiled.
Caroline made a small nervous laugh as she pulled her hand back gently.
"Okay. Bye." softly, she told him.
And she walked away. As she continues to make her steps, she let out that wide smile on her lips once again. She tried not to glance back but she can't stop herself. And when she saw him far back there, leaning against his door, watching her intently, she thought of unicorns and chocolate and strawberries.
She's shining so bright. Klaus can't keep his eyes off her. He has watched her melt in his arms. He felt how wonderful it is to kiss her lips. He saw the pleasure in her face when he held her. And the feel of her body against him, is agonizingly beautiful.
He knew, he's getting under her skin. He knew, he's close to winning her. But he thinks it's still too soon. And he plans to keep it slow.
He wants more than this kind of response from her. He wants something deeper, earnest, the kind of fondness that strikes through the roots of her heart; because that's the only thing that will keep her beside him forever.
And this beautiful, strong and young vampire to stay next to him through eternity, is his utmost desire.
A/N:
Hello guys! So, did I trick you with that scene of Bonnie and the phone? :)
Anyway, again I'd like to tell you how grateful I am for all of your reviews. They are lovely and wonderful and they are making me all-smiles and very happy.
If you haven't noticed, I don't really have a big serious plot going on in this fic. I only want Klaus and Caroline to kiss and make out and share sweet moments together (who doesn't?) and Caroline liking Klaus already.
Do you think it's too fast? :)
But I hope you like this chapter. (though it's very very short, I know, sorry 'bout that) :)
Thank you very much again guys, you are all so nice :)
I'm looking forward to read about what you're thinking. Please tell me! :D
