Collision Course: Chapter 15
July 2: Sorrento, Italy
Caroline's eyes fluttered open slowly adjusting to the sunlight spilling into the bedroom. She sighed contently. The last four days had been nothing short of amazing and she was now enjoying her 'honeymoon' in beautiful Italy.
When Damon suggested it Caroline had thought it was the most ridiculous idea considering their marriage wasn't real but lying in their gorgeous Italian villa and basking in the warm afterglow of sex with Klaus, she couldn't have been happier.
All the months of pent up desire and emotion had finally erupted into a marathon four-day sex session that was showing no signs of slowing down. After a prolonged shower at the Chateau which only ended due to their wrinkled skin from the hot water, the couple retired to the bedroom. About twenty-four hours later they finally resurfaced both tired and ravenous from all the activity to replenish their energy stocks before eagerly returning for more.
The rest of their time in Normandy had passed in a delicious sexual haze, Caroline felt slightly guilty she hadn't explored more of the castle although they had spent a considerable amount of time in the castle's extensive grounds exploring each other.
The journey from Paris to Naples two days earlier had seemed like an eternity although they had managed to keep themselves occupied by having some fun in the bathroom to tie them over. Caroline thought back to their initial meeting when Klaus had offered to induct her into the mile high club and how things seemed to have come full circle.
The stunning views on their drive from Naples to Sorrento had been the only thing keeping them from pouncing on each other in the back seat. Once they arrived at the beautiful Villa Il Gioiello their activities had resumed.
Caroline blushed at how intense it had been with Klaus, she had never felt like this with anyone, even Tyler. It was like she couldn't get enough of him. Caroline turned over to look at the man in question who'd literally rocked her world. Klaus was nestled in the white sheets his blonde curls slightly messy and his crimson lips curved into a smile, someone was having a good dream she thought.
Caroline felt her stomach flutter realising she really was in big trouble. Before they slept together she could ignore the constant niggling thoughts racing through her mind but now they had been so intimate it was impossible to deny. Caroline was in love with Klaus. She should have been excited by the revelation but Caroline had no idea what he was feeling and it scared the hell out of her.
She eased herself out of the bed careful not to disturb his slumber. Her legs wobbled as she placed them on the floor, no doubt due to her increased movement the past few days. Caroline realised she really needed to get back into yoga. As she attempted to stand up she felt two strong arms encircle her waist and pull her back into the warmth of the bed. Klaus found her flat stomach and started to tickle her mercilessly.
"Klaus!" She giggled.
"Well that's what you get for trying to escape." He murmured his voice thick with sleep continuing to tickle her belly.
"Fine, I promise I won't do it again just stop please?" She begged.
"Okay but now you know the consequences if you run away from me." He said finally relenting and pulling her back into his embrace so that she was lying between his legs.
"You know we are going to have to eat something at some stage." Caroline said stroking his leg slowly.
"Well that's hardly surprising coming from you." He said placing a kiss on her head. "Although I must say our little workout last night has certainly given me an appetite."
"Little workout?" She said turning to look at him. "I would hardly call ten times little; I have the sore muscles to prove it."
"Well I certainly didn't hear you complaining last night or the last four days for that matter." He said leisurely running his hands along her exposed breasts and gently tweaking each of her nipples. She moaned instinctively, his touch sending electric shocks throughout her body. Caroline felt like her insides were on fire.
He continued his journey downward over her belly and pelvis running his fingers over her smooth skin finally stopping at his destination. He placed his fingers inside her already wet centre and ran them softly along her clitoris. Caroline cried out from his touch bucking her hips upward at the desire building up inside her body. Klaus pushed harder knowing how close she was to climaxing. Caroline screamed out his name as the waves of pleasure coursed through her body, an explosion of stars filling her vision.
She came back to earth finally her heart still racing, every time with him seemed to just get better. She turned around to face him her skin flushed and a look of complete and utter satisfaction reflected in her eyes.
"And here I was thinking we were going to eat." He joked stroking her hair. Caroline smiled devilishly realising she wasn't at all hungry anymore.
"Well lucky for me someone took my mind off it." She said leaning forward and placing kisses up his naked chest.
"Very lucky." He chuckled. "You know if you're that hungry we can go out and get something."
"Mmmm yes very hungry but not so much for food." Caroline whispered seductively in his ear as she began to nip at his neck causing him to groan with pleasure. She could see how aroused Klaus was and knew she had to have him then and there.
Caroline flicked her hair out of her eyes and proceeded to straddle Klaus, his growing erection pressing into her leg making her dizzy with longing. She lowered herself onto him and given how wet she already was slipped into him easily, hearing him moan loudly in response.
Klaus rallied into action pushing his hips toward her and immediately began moving in and out of her slowly at first but gaining speed and force with every thrust. Their cries of lust became intermingled as they rode through the vibrations of desire, each of them coming within seconds of each other.
Caroline and Klaus fell back into a heap, sweaty and slightly still aroused. They were both breathing heavily trying to catch their breath while the remnants of desire pulsed through their bodies. After a while they looked at each other with matching grins over their faces.
"Okay I could definitely go some food now." Klaus said still panting heavily pulling Caroline onto his chest.
"I can't move." Caroline mumbled. "I think it's going to have to be room service." Klaus smiled.
"Well you won't get any complaints out of me; this way I can have you all to myself." Caroline snuggled further into his chest wishing she could start every day of the rest of her life just like this.

"Hey Katherine." Caroline chirped as her friend connected the call. She was sitting by the pool on the balcony of their villa overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. Klaus had eventually left her side to get her some baci gelati which she'd been craving all day.
"You've had sex!" She cried. "And by the tone of your voice you've had lots of it too." Caroline shook her head in disbelief; trust Katherine to sense that from so far away.
"Okay you got me." She admitted. "Your sex radar is phenomenal Katherine, maybe you're in the wrong business."
"Yes well I'm full of hidden talents." She said wryly. "I've been going stir crazy over here waiting for some news from you."
"Seriously Katherine? I thought you would have been far too busy with your own adventures to be thinking about what I've been doing."
"Well truthfully it's been a bit of a dry patch of late." She huffed.
"What would you define as a dry patch Katherine?" Caroline said thinking a dry patch for her friend would probably only equate to a week at most.
"Almost a month." She whispered almost like she was afraid someone would overhear them.
"Why, what happened?" She asked surprised by her admission.
"I don't know I think I've lost my mojo or something." She said obviously frustrated. "I think I need a holiday, I must be working too hard."
"Yes that must be it, why not head to Cabo or something. Surely you can get a hot Mexican guy to help rub some suntan lotion on your back." She laughed.
"Been there, done that." She muttered. "Even Elena is getting more than me and we all know how much of an injustice that is."
"Yes that is definitely an injustice." Caroline had to stop herself from laughing aloud. Katherine was definitely in the right job, she was certainly dramatic enough.
"Well sounds like sex has done someone a world of good." She laughed. "So come on don't keep me in suspense woman."
"It was out of this world Katherine and I'm talking like every single time. I mean that never happens to me"
"I knew it! It must have been all that practice he's had." She cried. "So how many times are we talking?"
"Honestly Katherine I've lost count, we've been going at it like rabbits for about four days now. I can barely walk I'm that sore."
"Oh my god Care! Well you're certainly making up for lost time." She chuckled. "That explains why you never returned my call from the other day; you were too busy having mind-blowing sex."
"Yeah sorry about that, I guess you could say I've been a little preoccupied of late." She said unable to keep the grin off her face.
"Yeah getting all hot and sweaty with lover boy. So come on I want all the juicy details you know where and when."
"Well let's see there was the garden multiple times, the shower multiple times, the bathroom on the plane multiple times, the dining room table multiple times oh and in the bed of course..."
"Multiple times?" She guessed and Caroline laughed. "Yeah, yeah I get it." She muttered her sexual frustration evident.
"I have never felt like this before. I mean sex was always a bit of fun but it has never totally consumed me like this. I think I finally understand where you're coming from."
"Oh honey." She sighed proudly. "Well it couldn't have happened to a better person especially after everything that happened with that idiot Tyler."
"You know I'm so glad that happened with him otherwise I never would have met Klaus and…"
"Had the best sex of your life?" Katherine finished for her. Caroline smiled realising she was right.
"Yep."
"Wow first Elena and now you, I need to get my act together." She laughed. "So are there any hot Italian men over there for me?"
"There's probably plenty of them Katherine but I've barely left the bedroom so I can only attest to one very hot English one."
"Okay that's enough mush for one day." She gagged. "Maybe I can find my own hot English guy to break the drought when I'm over in London next week."
"Since when are you coming over?" She replied excitedly. Although she'd been fairly preoccupied with Klaus she had missed her friends and their long chats, the phone just wasn't the same.
"Since Kol suggested I come and check out the film location."
"Watch out for that one Katherine he has a big crush on you." Caroline laughed.
"If only he wasn't so boy-like not to mention a Mikaelson." Caroline laughed thinking how spot-on her observations had been. "You don't think I'll run into the other brother do you?" She asked a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
Caroline had never heard Katherine Gilbert sound so unsure of herself, that altercation with Elijah must have really gotten to her she thought. It seemed too much of a coincidence that her man drought had begun shortly after their meeting.
"Well Elijah will probably be there but if anyone can handle themselves it's you darling." Caroline said trying to restore her friend's confidence.
"Oh you don't have to worry about that Elijah Mikaelson will wish he never messed with me."
"I almost feel sorry for him."
"He hardly deserves any pity and while we're on the subject of idiots what is this nonsense I hear about Stefan and the wicked witch hooking up?" She cried. Caroline had told Stefan that if he was going to sleep around with Rebekah he had to be man enough to break the news to Elena and Katherine himself.
"Yeah well at least you didn't have to see them going at it Katherine, it was so disturbing." She groaned.
"Well that's hardly surprising; I have no idea what he sees in her."
"Yeah well you and me both. Hopefully it's just a passing phase and he'll realise the error of his ways sooner rather than later."
"We can only hope Caroline; otherwise he's officially off my Christmas card list this year."
"Oh surely you wouldn't deprive him of one of your famous sexy themed Christmas cards Katherine?" She laughed thinking about her friend's annual greeting card depicting her dressed as something sexy. Last year it had been Mrs Klaus, Caroline was wondering who it would be this year.
"Well he's going to have to be punished if he continues to be this stupid." She said determinedly.

July 3: Sorrento Italy
"So Katherine's on the war path?" Klaus asked rubbing sunscreen on Caroline's back.
"All I can say is Stefan and Elijah better watch out." She mumbled enjoying the feeling of his strong masculine hands on her back. They had finally emerged from their room and were lying on the nearby beach soaking up the hot summer sun.
"Knowing Elijah I doubt he'd really care what she thought about him." Klaus said putting the lid back on the lotion and laying down next to her. "My brother is oblivious to pretty much everything unless it involves his business of course."
"Sounds like someone needs to loosen up." Caroline said placing her sunglasses on her face to block out the imposing sun light.
"Yeah you try telling Elijah that."
"No I think I'd prefer to stay in your brother's good books." She said turning over to face him. "So are you looking forward to going back home?"
"Yes and no." He said. "It's always good to catch up with my siblings but there's always the memories that seem to flood back when I'm there."
"About your mum?" She said placing her head on his chest comfortingly.
"Yeah especially considering it's the anniversary in a few weeks." He said quietly raking his hands through her blonde waves. She nestled in further wanting to make him feel better.
"Well I'll be there with you and anytime you need to talk you know I'm here right?" She murmured. Klaus pulled her arm across his chest and tucked it underneath him so they were as close as possible.
"Yeah I know." He said placing a kiss on her head affectionately.
"Caroline, Klaus?" A few voices yelled walking across the sand, cameras in hand.
"Looks like our friends have finally arrived." Klaus laughed gesturing to the media pack.
They had been quite shocked by the lack of media interest in their relationship since the EMA's in Spain. Obviously they had managed to be so convincing they were now considered boring and not at all newsworthy. Not that either of them or their publicists were complaining.
"Are you having a nice honeymoon?" They asked snapping away at the affectionate couple on the beach.
"Yes its been just lovely here in Italy." Caroline said smiling for their photos.
"Caroline I love your bikini." One of the female photographers asked looking at her red and white polka-dot design. "Who is the designer?"
"This is Tigerlilly." She said pointing to her frilly bikini top. They took a few more photos and walked off no doubt to get out of the sweltering heat.
"Are you serious?" Klaus asked incredulously. "We've become so boring they've reverted to asking what brand your swimsuit is."
"Hey don't complain I think there's a lot to be said for boring." She objected sitting up. "Plus these bathers are hot."
"Yeah well you certainly look hot in them." He said his eyes roaming over her toned body. "Although I must say I prefer you in a lot less." He attempted to pull her back down on top of him but she squirmed out of his grip.
"Klaus, we're in public!" She shrieked looking around.
"All the more reason to do it, maybe the media will come back and get more than they bargained for." He laughed.
"Klaus behave." She said sternly like she was talking to her dog.
"You're just no fun anymore Caroline." He said shaking his head at the blonde.
"Hey I'm plenty of fun; I just don't want to subject these poor innocent people to our sickening public displays of affection." She argued standing up.
"Okay that's fair enough." He said standing up and throwing her over his shoulder in one swift move. Before she knew it he'd run straight into the salty water drenching them both in the process. Caroline spluttered as she resurfaced, the water washing over her face.
"Nice Klaus." She said hitting him on the chest.
"Hey I just thought out here we might get a bit more privacy, not to mention not having to go all the way back to the villa." He said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, pulling her into his arms and moving further out into the sea. She could feel the fabric from his bathers straining against his raging hard-on causing her to shiver in pleasure.
"You're crazy." She said feeling him pull her bikini bottoms to one side.
"I'm also extremely horny." He chuckled kissing her with everything he had causing her to moan against his lips. Caroline impatiently tugged at his boxers desperate to have him inside her again. Klaus pushed himself deep inside as she tipped her head back enjoying the sensations that were pulsing through her body.
"God that feels good." She moaned in his ear as he continued to thrust back and forth. "Don't ever stop."
"Shhhh." He warned his breath ragged. Caroline could feel herself peaking and bit on her hand to try and stop herself from screaming too loud and frightening the other beach goers. Klaus finally let go the ecstasy washing over his face as he came inside her.
They floated there for a while in a complete daze letting the aftershocks flow through their bodies. As they eventually emerged from the water completely spent an older lady approached them looking seriously at Caroline causing the blonde to blush.
"Are you okay young lady?" She asked concerned. "It's just that I heard you scream and thought maybe you'd hurt yourself." Caroline dipped her head briefly trying to stop the blush from spreading any further.
"Actually I think I might have seen a jellyfish, you might want to keep clear of that area just in case." She stuttered refusing to look at Klaus who she could feel was shaking. They walked towards their towels just as Klaus broke out into laughter unable to hold it in any longer.
"Klaus!" She cried hitting him on the arm, her face still red with embarrassment.
"God Caroline I just can't take you anywhere!" He laughed pulling her into his arms.

July 4: Positano, Italy
"Are you serious?" Caroline cried excitedly. "We're staying here?" Klaus had surprised her by organising a yacht for their stay in Positano. Apparently he could sail, just another thing she was learning about her husband.
"So I take it that means you like it?" He laughed at her enthusiasm.
"Well yes I suppose it will have to do." She replied in a posh voice, looking from the clear blue water out at the cliffs above dotted with houses in varying shades and colours.
They approached in a speed boat stopping alongside the grand white yacht, Klaus took her hand and helped her on-board. Caroline noticed a few American flags around the vessel along with some red, white and blue streamers. Klaus saw her face cloud over in confusion.
"I thought you might be missing being home for Independence Day so I thought I'd bring it to you." Caroline put her hands up to her mouth in disbelief; no one had ever done something so thoughtful for her before.
"Thank you! This is amazing." She said walking down the side and noticing the feast spread out on the deck including; cheeseburgers, fried chicken and potato salad as well as a large variety of festively themed desserts. "Red white and blueberry trifle is my absolute favourite." She cried clapping her hands together in glee.
"Yeah I asked them to go heavy on the desserts." He said laughing at her excitement. "The one thing I couldn't organise was a parade unfortunately but I'm sure we can occupy ourselves somehow."
Klaus had sailed the yacht further out to sea so they could soak up more of the beautiful view across the soaring cliffs. Caroline been excited to find Klaus had bought her a stars and stripes bikini for the festivities. She came up on deck, Klaus almost hitting his head on the boom at how stunning she looked in her tiny bikini.
"Maybe you can wear that one when you clean my house and wash my car." He said a wide grin on his face.
"Hey last time I checked I didn't have sex by myself." She scoffed.
"No you didn't and I'm definitely glad about that." He laughed. "But aren't you forgetting the EMA after-party love?"
"That was purely for the media and you know it."
"So you're saying that kiss was strictly for the media's benefit?"
"Well pissing Tyler off was definitely an added bonus." She smirked.
"Yeah that was a good night." He laughed reliving the moment. "Well that doesn't matter anyway, you kissed me in Paris after the premiere and we were all alone then, so that means I win." He replied like a petulant child.
"Damn you!" She cried in frustration. "I so wanted to see you in a dress and make-up."
"Oh well we can't all have as much willpower as yours truly."
"You're never going to let me forget this are you?" She asked narrowing her eyes at him.
"Ah no, not in this lifetime anyway." He laughed earning a slap from his wife. "All I can say is I'm looking forward to you repaying your debt."
Caroline rolled her eyes and helped herself to a red, white and blue daiquiri. Although she missed home and her friends and family Klaus had managed to make it special for her even though it didn't mean as much to him. He lifted his glass in the air.
"Happy 4th of July Caroline." He smiled clinking his glass with hers.
"Well while we are making toasts I would like to wish you a very happy two month anniversary darling." She joked. Klaus looked at her surprised.
"Well, well it looks like someone has been studying up on their dates. I was going to mention something earlier but thought it might make you feel bad." He teased.
"Yeah sure you were." She muttered.
"I was. I mean you didn't think this little party was only for Independence Day did you?" Caroline looked around the boat at all the red white and blue and shook her head.
"Yeah it definitely looks like an anniversary celebration Klaus."
"Are you saying you don't believe me?" He asked feigning innocence.
"That's exactly what I'm saying love." Caroline teased using his favourite endearment.
"Okay well if that is the case why do I have this little package here for you?" He asked producing a light blue box with a white ribbon. Caroline inhaled sharply realising those colours only meant one thing, Tiffanys.
"Oh Klaus you really shouldn't have."
"Well I wanted to so come on hurry up and open it." He said pushing it towards her. Caroline unwrapped the white bow and opened the lid her eyes falling on a beautiful white-gold charm bracelet.
She pulled it out slowly releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding. Caroline looked at the charms one-by-one the meaning of each not lost on her. There was a musical note, a castle, the letter C and the symbol for Sagittarius which was her star sign. She fingered the remaining charms, a return toTiffany's love heart and a horseshoe. Klaus cleared his throat nervously.
"The sales assistant tells me that a love heart is a must when it comes to any Tiffany's jewellery."
"And the horseshoe?" She asked quietly her eyes brimming with tears at his sweet gesture.
"Well I figure if you have to put up with me for another four months you're going to need all the luck you can get." Caroline threw herself into his arms unable to hold back any longer. She hugged him with everything she had trying to stop the tears from spilling down her cheeks.
"Wow if this is the response I get I should give you gifts more often." He chuckled awkwardly obviously embarrassed by her emotional reaction. Caroline nearly kicked herself, she had gotten so caught up in the moment that she'd probably come on too strong. Pulling back quickly she gave him a slight smile.
"Thank you Klaus this is really nice."
"I hope so I didn't mean to make you cry." He said wiping away a stray tear from her face.
"No I'm just a little upset because I didn't get you anything." She said trying to cover her growing feelings. "First I forget our one month anniversary completely and now I don't get you anything for the second, I'm like the worst wife ever."
"Yeah I'm definitely showing you up in that area." He joked.
"Well I may not have bought you anything but I do have plenty of other things I could do for you instead." She said seductively standing up in front of him. Klaus looked up at Caroline like all his Christmases had come at once.
"Like what?" He gulped. Caroline unfastened her bikini top letting it fall on to the deck.
"How about I show you?"
