*Klaus's POV*
I woke up early the next morning taking in Caroline's ravishing scent. I'd managed to get her back. My arm was wrapped around her tiny waist. She was gorgeous. I nuzzled my head into the crook of her neck and kissed her, memories of last night flooding my brain.
I grinned widely as I reminisced about every intense moment from last night. I recalled every face she made, every sound that escaped her perfectly soft lips, and every bruise that I gave her that had healed almost instantly.
I leaned down to kiss her forehead just as her eyes began to flutter open. For a moment, I just stared at her taking in the magnificent blue orbs of the marvelous Caroline Forbes. She smiled. "Hey, Nik." she greeted me pleasantly. I smirked in response. "Hello, love." For a long while, she laid there just taking in my presence until she finally decided to speak. "What time is it?" she inquired. "11:04" I answered non-chalantly. "Nik, how did we sleep that long?" she asked in a panic, shooting up from her position on the bed. I chuckled lightly and pushed her onto her back once again while positioning myself on top of her. "Nik, we-" she started. "It's ok, sweetheart." I smiled. "After five rounds of 'hot hybrid sex' as you call it, you're permitted to sleep in." I assured her. She began to calm down and bite her lip.
She knew bloody well that I couldn't stand when she bit her lip like that. "Now, love, I'm attempting to be on best behavior, but you know what those lips do to me." I warned. "Mmhmm." she affirmed pushing me off of her so that now she was on top of me, straddling me.
She looked down at me teasingly nibbling on that lip. "Hey, Nik?" she whispered seductively in my ear. I groaned in response. She slid her hands down my chest and stomach before screaming, "Tag! You're it!" and flashing out of the room. I threw my head back in disappointment and laughed. "Ready or not, here I come, love!" I yelled before dashing off through the house looking for her. I traced her scent to the wardrobe in the guest bedroom of her house. I threw the doors open and watched as she tumbled out. I caught her easily. "Now, for your punishment." I smirked. "Punishment?" she repeated. "Of course, sweetheart. No one likes a tease, I'm afraid. You're punishment... you owe me a kiss." I requested. She laughed. "That's not much of a punishment." she insisted. I crossed my arms and placed a finger to my chin as if I were thinking. "Or you could pay me a hundred thousand dollars." I suggested. "It's your choice, really. Oh, make that check out to Niklaus Mikaelson and in the memo line say, 'For being irresistable'" I joked. "A kiss it is." she grinned.
Within the next second, she had crushed her lips against mine and our tongues were fighting for dominance. By the time another second had passed, I had changed our position so that I was the one leading and my tongue was winning in the intense power struggle. She moaned lightly into my mouth and I took this as a sign of my success. I chuckled and backed away. "Tag. You're it, sweetheart." I breathed before sprinting away.
*Caroline's POV*
"Nik, I'm taking a shower!" I called after our little tag session."Me too! Let's save water and share a shower!" he grinned suggestively. "You wish!" I scoffed. "Come on, love. Nothing I haven't already seen." he pointed out, making me blush. I hit his arm. "No need to be embarassed, love. It was the best night of my life." he smiled jokingly. "You're in the guest shower!" I commanded with a small smile. He pouted, looking like a puppy with his tail tucked between his legs. "Fine." he agreed sadly. "Nik, wait." I stopped him. He turned on his heels expecting me to have changed my mind. "Turn that frown upside down." I said cheerily before locking him out of the bathroom. A hot shower...just what I needed.
Klaus and I stepped out of the bathroom at the same time, fully dressed and perfectly styled. My jaw dropped as I took in his blue jeans, black combat boots, gray t-shirt, and black leather jacket with his usual necklaces. "You know, love, instead of undressing me with your eyes, you can always just say those magical words and we'll go a few rounds." he teased. "In your dreams, hybrid." I said as I caught him sizing me up in my dark wash denim shorts, lacey black tank top, and gray cardigan."You look glorious as always, sweetheart." he complimented me. I blushed, trying to look away. He grabbed my chin with his index finger and thumb, positioning me so that I was looking straight at him. "If I could see you blush everyday, I'd count myself among the world's luckiest men." he confessed quietly, making me blush even more. "Well, love, what do you say to a bit of shopping today?" he smiled, obviously knowing my answer. He pulled a black metal American Express card out of his wallet. He leaned forward and whispered, "Now try and see if you can max this out," before kissing me lightly under my earlobe. My breathing hitched. He had just handed me a credit card with no limit..."Damn, I love you." I whispered. His face lit up like a child's on Christmas day. "I love you, too, sweet Caroline." he replied.
It was now seven o' clock and we'd been shopping all afternoon. We had just gotten back to the car and I felt as if I could fall asleep as soon as we got onto the road. Klaus smiled and reached over to gently place his hand on my knee unintentionally sending shivers through my body. He smirked, noticing the slight change in my body. "Well, love, do you have enough energy for one more adventure?" he questioned. "I don't know, Nik. I'm so exhausted." I replied. "Please, love." he pouted whilst tracing little shapes on my thigh. I shivered. "Fine." I said giving in. He flashed me a wide smile before focusing on the road again.
Five minutes later, Klaus pulled into the parking lot of a hotel. I looked at him with a confused look etched onto my face. He chuckled and shrugged before getting out of the car. He nodded at the valet, throwing him the keys, as I stepped out of the Audi. "Hello, mate. Bags are in the trunk. Get someone to bring those up, will you?" he ordered. "Please." I added politely, not wanting him to think that we were rude. Klaus turned to smile at me. "Sweetest Caroline. Always remembering your manners." he laughed. We walked into the hotel hand in hand. "Good evening, Mr. Mikaelson." a pretty brunette who looked like Mila Kunis smiled. I growled instinctively but lowly enough that she didn't hear me. The elevator was already waiting for us as we crossed the large lobby.
"Good evening, Mr. Mikaelson." I mocked, stepping into the elevator. Klaus chuckled, pressing the button that would take us to the twelfth and highest floor. "Now, love," he started, pushing me against the wall of the elevator-walls must be our thing. "Jealousy is nothing more than a fear of abandonment and that's a fear that you'll never have to worry about." he promised before placing one hand on my hip and one behind my neck and smashing his lips to mine.
He pulled away exactly half of a second before the elevator dinged and the doors slid open. I looked out into the hall. "This way, love." he directed pulling me by the hand.
We stopped in front of a large white door. Another presidential suite...figures. "Do you ever get tired of spending money?" I questioned. "No. I enjoy nice things, and if I can share them with you, that's even better." he smirked.
He swiped the room key and pulled me inside. The room was decorated with cute little teddy bears on the bed that looked exactly like the ones that I had in my room at home. I noticed something on top of the bed that was rolled up like a scroll so I walked to the bed to investigate. I found a stuffed wolf. "It kind of looks like me when I transform, so I thought you might enjoy it." Klaus said from behind me. I smiled softly and unrolled the piece of paper. It was a drawing-typical Klaus-of me wrapped in his arms. The caption below it read 'To many more nights like this. -Fondly, Klaus.' "It's gorgeous." I mused turning to look at him. For the first time since I'd stepped into the room, I took in the full view of my surroundings. There were vases full of roses in every room. He had even gotten boxes of candy, popcorn, and a collection of my favorite movies. I gasped. "When did you..." I trailed off. "Last night after we..." he explained. I nodded my head in understanding. I ran into his arms, kissing him urgently. He chuckled into my mouth. "Thank you so much, Nik. No one's ever-" I started, breaking the kiss. "No need for thank yous, love. I'd do it any day to see the excitement in your eyes and that smile stretch across your face." he replied. I stared into his unbelievably blue eyes with lust and passion clearly displayed in my own. I kissed him deeply, letting my tongue trace his lips until he opened his mouth, finally allowing me entrance. He pushed me me down on the bed and slowly pulled away.
"As much as I'd love to relive last night in all its greatness, there's something that I wanted to show you." he announced. I grinned. "And what might that be?" My favorite sideways smile broke out on his face. "Follow me." he instructed while intertwining our fingers and leading me out of the room and to the stair case. He led me up about two flights of stairs and opened the door labeled 'roof access'. He looked back at me one last time before smiling and pulling me through the door.
A little picnic basket sat in the middle of the roof. I snatched my hand away from his to run towards the basket. I sat down excitedly with Klaus not far behind. He sat down next to me and opened the basket, pulling out two sandwiches, He handed me one while laying back on the blanket and unbagging his own. "Peanut butter and jelly? I can't even imagine you eating that." I laughed. "I happen to know that you are quite fond of them." he said taking a large bite as if to prove a point. "God, I love you." I said before laying myself back and devouring my sandwich. He chuckled beside me.
We were quiet for a while as we finished our food. He reached into the basket once again, revealing two blood bags and passing me one. I sunk my teeth into it and stared at the stars. Soon, he broke the silence. "Caroline, do you know the story of Orion?" he inquired. I shook my head and he scooted over until his body was so close that if i moved even three centimeters, we'd be kissing. He pointed up at a collection of stars. "That's Orion." he explained. "Now, in Roman mythology, Orion was a mortal; a hunter. Artemis was the goddess of the moon and the daughter of Zeus. Artemis was in love with Orion, but it was forbidden that she interact with a mere mortal. Orion had gone to live on his own on a small island where Artemis would watch over him every night as he hunted. One night, she decided to take the risk and descend down to Earth to see her love. She helped him hunt all night, and when dawn came, she escaped on her chariot back into the skies. Little did they know, Zeus had seen the mortal with his daughter and he was outraged, so he arranged for a scorpion to kill Orion. That night, when Artemis and Orion were talking, a mockingbird called out into the night to alert Orion that a great danger was coming. Orion was forced to fight the scorpion, and when he thought he'd broken its neck, he turned his head just in time to see Artemis escaping to the heavens. The scorpion took this as his chance to sting Orion and Orion died." he paused. "Then what?!" I exclaimed, completely immersed in the story. Klaus laughed. "Then, Artemis saw this and came back. She flung the scorpion into the night sky where he became the constellation called Scorpio. She didn't want to believe that the love of her life was dead so she spent hours trying to revive him. After trying for three hours, she realized that he truly was gone. She carried him back into the sky with her and when she got there, she tossed him high into the dark sky where he became the brightest constellation. They called him Orion: the constellation of love" he recited.
I stared blankly at the sky, completely absorbed in what he'd just told me. "He loved her enough to die for her." I said, dazed. He chuckled. "Come, sweetheart." he said grabbing my hand and walking towards the stairs.
When we got back to the room, we got showered and changed into our sleepwear- me in short soccer shorts and a tank top and him in nothing but his plaid pajama pants as always. "What'll it be, sweetheart?" Klaus asked holding up copies of both Titanic and The Notebook. "Ummmm...The Notebook!" I decided. He smiled. "Alright." he complied. He put the movie into the player before running to the kitchen to pop the popcorn, grab the candy, and pour the soda.
He entered the room again just in time to press play. We snuggled in close to one another and began watching one of the greatest love stories known to man, and when my eyelids started to feel heavy, with no hope of keeping them open any longer, I fell asleep in Klaus's arms with the last thing I heard being, "So it's not going to be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this everyday but I want to do that because I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday." Hmmm...sounds about right. I want all of him...forever...everyday.
