Chapter 12

Mystic Falls, VA

-992-

As Nik led Caroline to the bedroom, she felt like she couldn't breathe. He pulled her close, brushing a loose strand of hair out of her eyes before lowering his lips to hers. As he wrapped his arms around her waist, she stopped thinking about anything but him. Her hands found their way to Nik's curls, pulling herself as close to him as she possibly could, feeling like she could never get enough of him. As his hand moved to her neck, she moaned, her lips parting to allow his tongue access to hers.

He backed her up against the wall, loving the feeling of having her close to him, as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He moaned at the contact, and moved his lips to her neck, wanting to touch every part of her with his lips and she tilted her head back to let him, another moan escaping her lips.

Deciding that enough was enough, Nik brought his lips back to hers, bringing his hands to her lower back and moving to the bed. He set her down so that her back was on the bed, legs still wrapped around his waist, as he knelt between them. As their lips met again, Caroline's fingers worked to pull his tunic over his head.

Sensing her difficulty, he got up onto his knees, finishing her work before coming back to her. She gasped as his teeth found her earlobe, her fingers desperately trying to undo her braid as he pulled her up towards him so that he could unlace the back of her dress. As he finished she grabbed the fabric from where it had bunched at her waist and Nik helped her pull it over her head.

As he looked at her beauty, he stopped, smiling lovingly at her, which she returned breathlessly before her hands moved to his trousers, unlacing them, and tossing them to the floor to join the rest of their discarded clothing. Now it was Caroline's turn to stare. She had been with Nik for a year, but she had never imagined that he would be so, well, god-like. She admired his muscular build, as he pressed his lips to her ear.

"You are gorgeous," he said, before bringing she grabbed his hair and pulled his lips to hers, arcing her hips towards his, letting him know that she was ready. She had a feeling that he enjoyed what he was doing to her.

"Nik…" she moaned, noticing his grin before his lips found her neck as he entered her. She buried her face in his neck to muffle her screams, her fingers tangled in his damp curls as his hips thrust. As they fell into a passionate rhythm, their eyes met, blue on green, as he brought his lips to hers, moaning as he could feel them both reaching the end. As their tongues danced, two pairs of hands tangles in golden curls, Nik threw his head back, "Caroline!" he ground out, his hands finding the bed on either side of her head, propping himself up before they both reached climax, Nik collapsing next to her, so that they were looking into each other's eyes, their bodies entwined as Caroline's tired eyes closed, a smile on her face.

"I love you, Nik." She whispered, eliciting a smile from him, as he pecked her lips, "I love you too, sweetheart." He said quietly, his eyes drifting shut.

Just as Klaus finally drifted to sleep, his eyes shot open, as the pain started again. He turned over and gripped the sides of the bed and buried his face in a pillow to keep from screaming, but to no avail. Hearing their brother's shouting, Kol and Rebekah flashed to his room, throwing the door open to ensure that Klaus was alright.

"What the bloody hell is going on, Nik?! It's the middle of the night and you sound as though someone is torturing you!" Said Kol, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he glared at his brother.

"I… remembered..." He trailed off, still feeling the effects of the pain.

"What are you talking about, neither of us remembered anything else, right?" Asked Rebekah, looking accusingly at Kol, hoping that she hadn't been left out again.

"Right Bex. I can't see why he would remember and we wouldn't, unless…" Kol said, a smirk forming on his lips.

"Unless what?!" Rebekah practically screamed. She hated being out of the loop, and her brothers seemed to enjoy keeping her just there.

"Come on, Bex, think about it. What was the last memory that you got of Caroline?" He asked, trying to help Rebekah find the answer.

"The wedding of course, but why would I not remember anything after… Oh. Oh no. Please Nik, snap my neck now so I can get that image out of my head!" She said, glaring at her brothers, who were both currently chuckling at her childishness. "Ugh, fine. I'll just have to go drink it away," she said, flashing down the stairs and heading to the Mystic Grill.

"You don't even understand, Matt. I just found out that my brother is married, just another thing in which he had to beat me, and on top of that, his wife, who I never even liked, is supposedly my best friend!" Said Rebekah, downing her glass of wine before holding her glass to him to pour another.

"I think you've had enough, Rebekah," he said, not wanting to be responsible for letting a wasted Original get behind the wheel.

"Enough? Enough?!" She yelled, turning a few heads. "I am going to need at least another bottle before it will be enough. My whole life just changed in a matter of days. Do you understand that?!" She said, as tears formed in her eyes. Matt was terrified.

"Okay, okay, you've convinced me. One more glass, but then you have to let me drive you home, okay?" He asked, placing his hand on hers to get her attention.

She looked up, surprised at his offer, as well as the physical contact, and nodded.

"Fine," she said, smiling as she took another sip.

"Okay, Rebekah, do you need me to walk you in or anything?" Matt asked, glad that he had been the one driving.

"Oh, no. I'm totally fine," she said, finally opening the door of his truck after several failed attempts. As she stepped out of the truck, she misjudged the distance to the ground and fell flat on her face. "Ouch," she groaned, as Matt hurried to help her up.

"Alright, come on, I'm gonna take you inside," he said, lifting her up bridal style as her head fell back, resting on his shoulder. Rebekah was thinking about Matt's muscular arms and sweet disposition, while Matt was thinking that for a one thousand year old nearly indestructible vampire, she was pretty light.

As he found his way through the dark mansion, he walked upstairs to find Kol and Klaus talking in what he was assumed was Klaus' room, since he was not wearing a shirt. As they saw Matt, they both stopped, noticed their unconscious sister, and started laughing.

"Right… So I see how this is funny, but mind telling me where her room is?" He asked, feeling awkward to have barged in on some family moment only to be laughed at.

"Yeah, it's two doors down," Said Kol taking a breath from laughing uncontrollably. He looked at Nik, who had evidently laughed so hard that he fell asleep? "Leave it to our sister," finished Kol, shutting his brother's door quietly so that he could actually get some sleep for the first time since Caroline went missing.

As much as Kol couldn't wait for Caroline to come back and make her brother happy, there was also a part of his that dreaded her return. He had just finally started building an actual relationship with his brother, and when she came back, she would be monopolizing most of his time. At any rate, he hoped that he would get the chance to get to know his sister-in-law a little better before she returned.

When Caroline awoke, she expected to find her husband in bed with her, but was disappointed. For a second she wondered if he had walked out on her, before realizing that she was an idiot for even thinking that. She got up, put on the night dress that was waiting for her on the edge of the bed, and headed to the kitchen. She had absolutely no trouble finding it, because of the decadent smell of bacon and eggs that was leading the way.

"I didn't know you cooked," she said, coming up behind Nik to place a kiss on his shoulder.

"Only for you, love," he said with a smile, turning in her arms and placing his hands on her face. "How did you sleep?" He asked, eliciting the largest grin he had ever seen.

"Do you even have to ask?" She said, standing on her toes to press a sweet kiss to his lips. He grinned in response, his dimples making her smile, as always.

"Have a seat, and prepare to be amazed," he said, bringing a tray of wonderful looking food to the table and placing it in front of her. She took a bite, making sure it had cooled, and moaned as the food hit her tongue.

"This is so good!" She said as he smiled in thanks, happy that he had satisfied her. "Looks like you'll be making breakfast every morning," she said with a wink.

"On one condition," he said in all seriousness. "I will gladly make you breakfast so long as you promise to let me take you to bed every night," he said, not bothering to hide his smirk as she giggled.

"And what would I do if I want breakfast otherwise?" She asked, looking at him with a legitimately curious expression.

"Well, I guess you can teach yourself how to make food this delicious," he said, tossing water into the fireplace to put it out.

"Okay, I'm done eating, what's next on the daily agenda?" She asked, expecting that he had planned things to do.

"Actually, today is a free day. And by free day, I absolutely mean that all of it will be spent in bed. Or perhaps right here, right now?" He said, raising an eyebrow as she turned to look at him.

"You know, being that we have only been married for less than a day, I think we should stick to the bed for now," she said, brushing the crumbs from her dress before taking his hand and pulling him swiftly into the bedroom without a word. They both knew that this honeymoon was going to be very… athletic.

You guys are so awesome! Thank you for all of the follows, favorites, and reviews! They make me happier than Caroline is with Klaus! After reading this chapter, what do you think of the rating? Should I up it to M? So after the last chapter, I was getting a lot of questions (mostly about the sex, you dirty, dirty people :P) so I will try to clear some things up right now. First, I was asked if their honeymoon was also Caroline's first time, since she was turned back into a human, but so far I haven't been able to make that work. For one thing, she had sex with at least Damon while she was still human, so unless something changes the future (would you like that?) she will still have had sex with Damon as a human and Tyler as a vampire. (She never slept with Matt, did she?) The other question that I got was whether Caroline would be turned into a vampire with the rest of the Mikaelson's. As of right now, I do not feel comfortable commenting.. I have only written these twelve chapters and the very ending, meaning that if something like that happens to fit in with my ending, we shall see… J Anyways, thanks again for the support. Until next time~
