I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. As much as I'd love them to stay on their honeymoon in beautiful Italy I have to keep moving so onto England now. I have to say I've been missing my favourite Mikaelson brothers and am so happy to finally include them now.
Chapter 16: Collision Course
July 11: London England
"That's so good Klaus." Caroline moaned as he moved deeply inside her, the feeling of her writhing body making him dizzy with longing.
"You like that?" He groaned his breath ragged and his heart rate soaring.
"Mmmm yeah, I want you now." She cried. He could tell by her frenzied expression that the desire was building inside her almost ready to spill over. Klaus felt her tense knowing exactly what that meant and what he needed to do next. With one last thrust he pushed into her with such force causing her to climax. She cried out, the desire pulsing through her body too much to contain.
The sound of Caroline's guttural screams tipped him over the edge and Klaus felt the waves of pleasure wash over his body as he came inside her. He looked down at Caroline who was completely sate, still obviously reeling from her orgasm. He smiled unable to contain the enjoyment he received from pleasing her. Klaus collapsed on top of her unable to hold himself up much longer he was that exhausted.
Klaus had always had a healthy appetite when it came to sex but Caroline had made him completely insatiable. When they finally had sex he thought he would burst it was that earth-shattering but now two weeks in their sexual chemistry continued to reach new heights as they explored each other and their intimate desires and fantasies.
Klaus had never felt like this before with anyone and he knew it was due to one main factor. Caroline Forbes had a hold on him like no one else had before. She consumed his thoughts; his dreams were constantly filled with visions of the beautiful blonde. When she wasn't around he missed her so much he became almost irritable and when she was around he couldn't handle being any more than a few metres apart from her she was that addictive.
Something was happening to him he just wasn't sure what exactly.
"Let me in!" Katherine screamed pounding on the door of their suite at the Mayfair Hotel.
"Are you serious?" Klaus panted slowly rolling over onto his back, still breathless from their latest bit of activity.
"If you're in the middle of hot married sex I suggest you hurry up and finish, you know how much I hate to be kept waiting." She yelled.
"Maybe if we're really quiet she'll just go away." Klaus whispered.
"Not bloody likely lover boy." She laughed. "You better make yourself decent kids; otherwise this could be very awkward."
"She's like Superman with that hearing." He said in disbelief. Caroline pulled herself reluctantly out of the bed. "Oh come on don't leave me."
"Klaus she's never going to give up, that much I know." She said reaching for her jeans from the nearby chair. "You heard Katherine make yourself decent." Caroline laughed throwing the white robe in his direction.
"Okay fine." He grunted. "I can't believe I have to work on a movie with her, she's going to drive me crazy isn't she?" He muttered to himself.
"Yes because my main aim in life is to drive you crazy Mikaelson." She replied and Klaus shook his head realising her sensitive hearing knew no bounds.
"Hurry up Klaus I'm about this close to knocking down the door myself." A male voice called out. They both looked at each in shock.
"Damon?"
"Yeah it's me lover boy." He laughed using Katherine's term.
"Like you could knock down a door by yourself." Stefan muttered.
"Stefan?" Caroline called zipping up her jeans her face breaking into a smile at hearing her friend's voice.
"Yeah but if you guys don't hurry up I might just kill Damon in the meantime."
"Hey that's my boyfriend you're talking about buddy, pick on someone your own size." Elena chuckled.
"Oh please can we keep the mush to a minimum you two." Bonnie said and Klaus could tell even with a door between them his publicist was rolling her eyes.
"Hurry up Klaus." Caroline threw on her shirt and bounded over to the door excited that so many of her friends were there. Klaus scowled and threw on the robe secretly happy they had decided to visit, just wishing they'd given some prior notice.
"Sweetie!" Katherine and Elena launched themselves at the blonde making her into a twin sandwich. Damon came over and patted Klaus affectionately on the back. Bonnie approached taking her turn to hug him.
"Are you going to be less grumpy now you're getting some?" She asked a grin on her face.
"Hardly Bonnie you know grumpy is my default setting." He joked hugging her tightly.
"Nice look man." Stefan laughed patting him on the arm.
"Yeah well if someone had told me you were coming then I might have dressed up for the occasion." He said shaking his head. "So what's going on?"
"Yeah as much as I love seeing you all what are you doing in London?" Caroline asked equally as confused as Klaus.
"Well we're actually here to kidnap you both." Katherine said ominously pulling out a pink and a blue blindfold.
"I'm not sure I like the sound of this." Caroline said anxiously.
"Mmmm blindfolds." Klaus said wracking his brain. "This type of theatre has my brother written all over it." Klaus deduced stroking his chin stubble.
"Okay you've got us, Kol sent us on a mission to get you." Damon said.
"And we've come for you Caroline." Elena said mysteriously.
"You sound like someone in a horror film Elena." Caroline said hiding behind her husband. "This is entirely too creepy for my liking, you're not going to kill us are you?"
"Yeah that's exactly it Care." Stefan said sarcastically. "We're going to kill you and then bury you in the woods because I'm sure no one would notice two such well-known celebrities are missing."
"This must be the bachelor party my brother has been complaining about missing out on for months." Klaus said looking at Caroline.
"Yep and even though you are already technically married you will be having your bachelor party and the girls will be having their bachelorette party." Katherine said eagerly. "I couldn't let Kol have all the fun now could I?"
"Trust you to be behind all of this." Caroline muttered.
"So if he wants this party so bad why isn't my brother here in person to blindfold me himself?" Klaus asked.
"Well he's actually on his way….apparently." Bonnie said shaking her head at his brother's usual tardiness.
"Don't blame me Bonnie." Kol said overhearing them as he walked into the room with Elijah and Rebekah close on his heels. "I can't help it that Elijah drives like an old lady." He scoffed.
"Excuse me little brother?" Elijah asked. "It was Rebekah's fault actually, I mean who needs three hours to get ready?"
"Excuse me." She pouted. "I have to look my best at all times."
"Except it's not your party little sister, it might be good for you to remember that." Elijah said shaking his head.
"Yeah well obviously three hours still wasn't enough to fix that face. Seriously who invited the ice princess anyway?" Katherine hissed obviously not happy by the unexpected turn of events.
"Katherine play nicely otherwise..." Stefan paused wondering what would actually threaten the brazen brunette.
"What Stefan you'll start having sex with the wicked witch here? Oops too late for that."
"Why you bloody cow." Rebekah lunged at Katherine trying to take a swipe at her before Stefan restrained the angry blonde.
"Excuse me what exactly have I missed?" Elijah asked looking at Katherine properly for the first time. She looked away immediately, Klaus noticing an unexpected blush spreading across her face.
"Always the last to know brother." Kol laughed. "Come on let's get this party started." He said impatiently stamping his foot on the ground.
"Wow this wasn't how I imagined starting my day. So anyone else hiding around the corner or is the circus all here?" Klaus asked.
"Well there was someone else in our party but he seems to have wandered off." Elena said looking around the corner.
"More like distracted by the pretty hotel maid down the hall. Oi Donovan!" Stefan yelled. Matt bounded around the corner like a Labrador puppy his blue eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Nice of you to join us Matthew." Katherine said dryly.
"Hey I wouldn't miss this bachelor party for the world." He said throwing his arms around Caroline. "Nice look Hugh Heffner." He chuckled taking in Klaus's robe.
"Do we at least get time for a shower?" Caroline said completely self-conscious about her post-sex appearance.
"Don't worry Caroline you can get cleaned up where we're going." Bonnie said trying to reassure her.
"Yeah you don't even need an outfit we have that all covered." Katherine said and Caroline shuddered no doubt imagining veils with condoms attached.
"What have we got ourselves into?" Klaus said looking at Caroline.
"Hey this is all your fault." Damon said looking at them with his piercing green eyes. "If you hadn't decided to get drunk and married in Vegas this wouldn't be happening at all."
"Yeah a wedding just isn't the same without a bachelor party." Kol laughed an evil twinkle in his eyes.

July 12: Portmarnock Golf Club near Dublin, Ireland
"Wow when I imagined a bachelor party I never thought we'd be leaving the country." Klaus said looking out at the beautiful grounds in front of them. Kol had organised a golfing day at the famous Portmarnock Golf Course about a half hour out of Dublin.
The guys were working their way through the course. With the exception of Elijah who was a talented player the rest were just mucking around and helping themselves to the beer chilling in ice buckets in the back of their golf buggies.
"You underestimate me brother." Kol laughed. "If I had my way we'd be on our way to Vegas right now but considering you've been there done that I had to come up with a back-up plan and who knows how to party better than the Irish?"
"Seriously whoever thinks golf is an enjoyable sport must be mad." Stefan grumbled missing the ball once again as shards of grass flew up into the air.
"I'm not sure they'll take too kindly to you digging up their lawn Stefan." Matt laughed heartily, teeing off and watching his white golf ball sail through the air toward the green.
"Well we can't all be natural athletes like you Donovan." Stefan muttered.
"Take your time Stefan." Elijah said calmly. "Imagine you are the ball."
"Seriously?" Damon asked. "Elijah I think you've been listening to too many self-help tapes."
"No Damon they're for people who actually need help."
"So how is your love life going then brother?" Klaus asked mischievously earning a death stare from his older sibling.
"I think we need to introduce Elijah here to some friends of mine tonight they'll set you right." Kol said devilishly.
"I hardly think strippers count as friends Kol." Elijah snapped.
"Someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning." Damon replied looking at the brooding brunette with interest.
"Well some prior notice of this party would have been nice given how busy I am at the moment with work. We can't all be celebrities that just fly around the world having fun all the time."
"I think someone's a little jealous." Klaus said not surprised by his brother's outburst, he'd never taken any of their jobs very seriously. "And on the notice thing, at least you knew more than five minutes before, unlike the unsuspecting groom."
"Fair enough Niklaus." He said placing his tee in the ground. "I suppose it didn't help that I had Rebekah in my ear the whole way to the hotel."
"Well that's never pleasant." Damon agreed. "I'm curious as to how Stefan manages to block out her incessant yammering."
"No that's information we do not need to hear." Kol cried blocking his ears for dramatic effect.
"Yeah I'll say." Klaus added taking a sip of his beer.
"Seeing as I'm the last to hear about this little arrangement I hope someone has already threatened to kill Stefan if he hurts Rebekah?" Elijah said looking between Kol and Klaus.
"That's already taken care of Elijah." Stefan mumbled embarrassed by the sudden interest in his relations with their sister.
"So what's she like then man, really?" Matt asked thoughtlessly.
"Ew Donovan!" The three Mikaelson brothers cried in absolute disgust.
"Oh yeah sorry boys." He said suddenly realising his mistake. "We'll discuss this later." He mumbled quietly to Stefan who just shook his head at the footballer.
"Well we could ask what Caroline is like considering you two seem so close these days." Kol asked wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"Ew!" Matt and Stefan replied in unison.
"Yeah Kol have a bit of tact for once in your life." Klaus replied feeling slightly violated, no one was allowed to talk about Caroline like that but him and he had no intention of ever going there.
"Someone is certainly defensive." Damon noticed looking at Klaus.
"Well that's my wife you're talking about?"
"Your wife Niklaus?" Elijah scoffed and the rest of the group froze at his comment.
"Well you know what I mean officially she is my wife and considering I'm in this marriage for another four months I'd like to get through it without her killing me." He said trying to cover his growing feelings.
"Okay so is there any female in the group we can talk about without getting that reaction?" Kol asked impatiently. "How about Katherine, now she is magnificent."
"Who's Katherine again?" Elijah asked.
"Um Katherine was in our hotel room yesterday, she's also the one you abused at my birthday party." Klaus said raising his left eyebrow at his brother his face clouded in confusion.
"Elijah yells at so many people it's hard to keep track." Kol noted.
"You yelled at Katherine Gilbert?" Matt asked incredulously. "Seriously man you deserve a medal considering you're still alive to tell the tale."
"What did you say exactly?" Stefan asked curiously.
"Well if I remembered who you were all talking about I could possibly answer the question." He replied frustrated.
"Okay Katherine is an actress about yea high; she has a tendency to come on quite strong at times." Klaus said attempting to jog his brother's memory. The realisation washed over his face.
"Ah yes the bossy brunette, she was certainly dramatic enough to be an actress." He recalled briefly.
"Poor Katherine was quite offended that you just rebuffed her advances." Damon said wistfully. "Well that's what Elena tells me anyway." Elijah went bright red as the memory of the brunette attempting to seduce him came racing back.
"Ah looks like someone remembers Miss Gilbert now." Kol said and they all laughed at his expense.
"Are we here to play golf or not?" He stammered desperately trying to change the subject.

July 12: Dublin Ireland
"So want to explain your little outburst before about Caroline?" Damon asked buttoning up his shirt in front of the mirror. The boys had returned from Portmarnock and were getting ready in their suite at the Four Seasons in Dublin.
"What outburst?" He replied defensively. "I hardly think you'd like it if they started talking about Elena's bedroom prowess."
"Of course not Klaus but she's my girlfriend. Last time I checked you and Caroline were just playing husband and wife."
"Maybe but it's still a fairly private thing." He stuttered.
"Do you realise in all the years we've been friends Klaus this is the first time you haven't shared all the gory details with me?"
"Are you disappointed?" He teased.
"Not at all, but why now all of a sudden?"
"I don't know I guess she's become my friend over the last few months and it feels wrong to talk about Caroline like that especially with other people."
"Okay when were you guys ever friends?" He asked confused.
"Um like now Damon, keep up."
"Okay correct me if I'm wrong Klaus but I didn't realise friends slept with each other."
"Well I happen to like it, I mean we both do. There's a lot of sexual chemistry there and last time I checked there's nothing wrong with us exploring that especially during our forced detention together."
"Yes that sounds exactly like forced detention, how horrible for you both." He joked. "So tell me more about this special friendship, it really does sound quite unique."
"It's okay Damon we're just two consenting adults having some fun while having to get through this marriage ordeal together."
"Okay so you're quite happy having meaningless sex with Caroline." Damon asked looking directly into his eyes trying to guage his friend's reaction.
"Well I'd hardly call it meaningless…"
"Ah ha! So you admit there's more to this little arrangement."
"Look we're friends Damon, it would be rude of me to call anything we have meaningless." He said trying to explain his comment
"Klaus if you tell me you're friends one more time I'm going to scream." Damon muttered his patience with his friend wearing thin. "Just admit it, you like Caroline."
"Seriously Damon I think you've been watching too much daytime television."
"Don't avoid the question Klaus."
"Well if you're the expert Dr Phil then please enlighten me?" He scoffed.
"Well whenever you talk about her you have this sickening smile on your face not to mention how jumpy you were before when we were all discussing your sex life." Klaus shook his head in disbelief it wasn't possible, I mean he'd only known her for a few months. He didn't like women in that way, it just wasn't his style.
"You like Caroline much more than just a friend." Damon's admission hit Klaus directly in the chest with a thud. His friend was right and Klaus knew it. He had been denying it for weeks but there were so many feelings he'd shoved aside in a vain attempt to cope with the unfamiliar territory he now found himself in.
"Nah you know me Damon it's just not possible I don't do relationships, unless they are fake marriages of course." He laughed awkwardly trying to cover his feelings. Until Klaus knew exactly how Caroline felt he wasn't willing to put himself out there and risk getting hurt.
"You sure are a stubborn bastard when you want to be." Damon chuckled putting his arm around his friend affectionately.
"I'm fine Damon really. Now let's go and get really drunk." Klaus said steering him away from the mirror and towards the door.

July 13: Dublin Ireland
"So in honour of my big brother's bachelor party I'd like to make a toast." Kol slurred raising his shot glass in the air then downing it in one go. Everyone looked at him in disbelief, their shot glasses still suspended in the air waiting for his supposed toast. "What?" He asked looking around at them.
"Nice one little brother." Klaus laughed downing his shot while the others followed suit.
"So anyone catch your eye boys?" Matt asked looking around the Penthouse at the trendy Morgan Hotel in central Dublin. News of the famous clientele at the popular bar that evening had spread far and wide bringing girls in their droves to try and snag a celebrity.
"Um no Matt." Klaus said taking a sip of his whiskey. "But don't let me stop you from perusing possible candidates."
"Okay this is supposed to be a bachelor party boys." Matt whined. "Why is everyone being so boring, not to mention completely whipped."
"Hey I'm the married one remember?" Klaus said. "Last time I checked these boys were still available." He said gesturing to Stefan, Elijah and Kol.
"Hey I'll be your wing-man buddy." Kol shouted struggling to get his arm around the massive quarterback.
"Well Mr Lightweight you're hardly wing-man material at the moment." He sulked. "And don't even get me started on you two." He said looking from Stefan to Elijah.
"Yeah I think the wicked witch has put a spell on Mr Broody here." Damon commented looking at Stefan, earning a scowl from the brunette in question.
"Yeah and I think given his history with insulting women Elijah might not be the best choice for a wing-man either." Klaus laughed.
"You're hilarious Niklaus." Elijah muttered.
"And we're right back where we started." Matt said rolling his eyes and throwing his hands up in the air in defeat not noticing an attractive blonde walking past with a very full drink in her hand.
"My drink." She cried as her cosmopolitan tipped over pouring red liquid into Matt's lap which quickly began to soak into his pants.
"You really should watch where you're going sweetheart." He said inspecting the soon-to-be stain. She looked at him her big brown eyes full of surprise, Matt smirked just waiting for the recognition to register on her face.
"I should watch where I'm going? Last time I checked I wasn't the one waving my hands around in the air." She baulked in an unmistakable American accent. The boys watched on in interest enjoying the spectacle unfolding in front of them. Matt's smile disappeared quickly as he realised she had no idea who he was.
"Well I didn't mean to." He stuttered taken aback by the fuming blonde in front of him. "How about I buy you another one?"
"Don't bother just keep your clumsy arms well away from me." She said storming off to the bar for a replacement drink.
"I can't believe she just called the Eagles star quarterback clumsy." Damon said in disbelief.
"I know man that's surely got to be a first." Stefan said trying not to laugh aloud.
"Oh you two are so funny." Matt said obviously annoyed by what had just transpired. No one had ever spoken to him like that and he didn't like it one bit.
"Well I thought it was pretty funny." Elijah chuckled taking a swig of his whiskey.
"Trust the king of insults to find that amusing." Klaus teased. "Ah don't worry man there's plenty of fish in the sea." He said gesturing to all the other girls in the room who all seemed to be vying for their attention.
"Now that was hot, maybe what she needs is a real man." Kol said knowingly smoothing down his messy hair, preparing to chat up the blonde himself.
Matt looked around like a lost little boy obviously trying to come to terms with being rejected so publicly, probably for the first time in his life. He stood up a look of pure determination on his face.
"Excuse me boys I have some business to take care of with a certain bossy blonde." He growled. "And don't you even think about it." He said pointing his finger at Kol and stalking off towards the bar.
"So do you always insult complete strangers or am I just lucky?" Matt asked approaching the pretty girl who'd managed to unsettle him so much. She looked over at him in contempt.
"Nice stain."
"Yeah this crazy blonde spilled her drink all over me." He said attempting a joke, a slight smile lighting up his face.
"Yeah well I'm sure that crazy blonde had her reasons, maybe you were waving your hands around like an absolute idiot."
"Okay you got me." Matt said splaying his hands across his chest. "That's exactly what I was doing but I'd really like the chance to make amends and buy her another drink." He said extending the olive branch. "Please?" Matt had never wanted a girl's approval so much in his life.
"Fine just keep your hands by your sides and we shouldn't have a problem." She laughed her brown eyes sparkling mischievously.
"I'm Matt Donovan by the way." He said holding out his hand and waiting for the flicker of recognition to register in her eyes, which it never did.
"Lexi Branson, nice to meet you Matt Donovan."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So no one here takes your fancy then brother?" Elijah asked coming up behind Klaus who was staring off into space thinking about a certain blonde and what she was doing at that exact moment. He hoped it had nothing to do with a stripper or any other male for that matter.
"Well I hardly think a married man like myself should be checking out other women."
"That's never stopped you before Niklaus."
"Well I don't think Bonnie would be very happy if I ruined this whole publicity plan she and Elena have so carefully put into place." Klaus said not meeting his brother's intense gaze afraid of giving too much away.
"You really have changed haven't you?" He asked in astonishment. Klaus looked away avoiding the question. For some reason Elijah was the only person able to draw things out of him and he wasn't in the mood to be psycho-analysed, least of all at his bachelor party. "I'm going to have to thank Caroline."
"I'd really appreciate it if you left Caroline out of this Elijah." Klaus said sternly afraid he might just do that.
"You know it's okay to let someone in."
"Yeah because you're such a shining example Elijah." He snorted.
"Well maybe if there was someone worthy enough, you know we can't all have a Caroline Forbes in our life." Klaus looked at his brother a hint of jealousy reflected in his eyes.
"Ah the green eyed monster yet another giveaway." He laughed.
"Fine what do you want from me Elijah?" His brother just raised his eyebrows in response. Klaus finished his drink in one gulp like he was trying to work up the courage to articulate his feelings. "Yes okay I like her, are you happy?" Elijah smirked triumphantly.
"Well I'm happy as long as you are Niklaus; I mean it's about damn time you got your life together."
"Well before you get too excited I'm not even sure she reciprocates my feelings." He said quietly.
"Well Niklaus have you ever thought about asking her?"
"Oh yeah because that's such an easy conversation to have Elijah." He muttered his gaze downward.
"Look it's the only way you'll know for sure and you can stop beating yourself up, I mean I've never seen you so forlorn before." Klaus hated that Elijah was always right, it probably came with the being the wise elder brother. He knew he had to find out but the thought she might not return his feelings was almost too scary to contemplate.
Klaus felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and took it out looking at the caller ID. His heart lurched when he saw her name appear on the screen.
"Caroline?" He asked connecting the call hoping everything was okay.
"Hello Husband." She cried into the phone breaking into giggles. Klaus laughed he couldn't help but find a very drunk Caroline cute as hell.
"Why hello there Mrs Mikaelson to what do I owe the pleasure?" He said his face breaking into a huge smile.
"I just wanted to check you were behaving yourself."
"You know I would never misbehave Caroline." He replied surprisingly happy she was calling to check up on him.
"Yeah but Kol would." She said suspiciously
"I can handle my brother." He laughed looking over at his drunken sibling trying to chat up another poor unsuspecting girl.
"Well I hope so Klaus. I mean I would hate there to be any media leaks about half-naked girls or anything like that." She mumbled obviously pushing for further information about their activities. Klaus couldn't wipe the smile off his face; jealous Caroline was even cuter than drunken Caroline.
"What would you define as half-naked? I think we're looking more at three quarters at the moment but there's still more clothing to be shed." Klaus said trying to needle her; he really wanted to see more of jealous Caroline. She was silent for a while and Klaus kicked himself for possibly taking it too far.
"Oh really? I guess that's only fair considering we've had our fair share of strippers tonight." Klaus felt his throat go dry his worst fears confirmed.
"I'm going to kill Katherine Gilbert." He muttered as Caroline started to laugh uncontrollably.
"I'm just joking, although you'll be happy to know I learned some great moves tonight that I'm dying to show you." Klaus felt his cock begin to stir at her words.
"Well that certainly sounds interesting." He gulped his voice suddenly taking on a husky tone.
"Yeah it turns out I'm a natural at pole dancing." She said seductively. The sudden excitement pulsing through his body was getting too much for Klaus to handle, if only they were closer he'd be over there right now, damn Kol!
"Well I'd definitely like to see those moves." He stuttered trying to calm his growing erection.
"Oh you will." She promised sending him into an absolute spin.
"Caroline you're driving me so crazy, I want you now." He moaned the desire building inside threatening to errupt at any moment.
"I want you too baby, god I just love you so much." She groaned excitedly.
Klaus broke out of his sexual haze not sure whether he heard her right; did Caroline Forbes just say she loved him?
