CHAP 30:
With my back against the wall Klaus worked his way up and down my body. The paths he made with his hands and lips were practised and all too familiar with what appealed to me. My screaming mind was drowned out by my flesh as it hummed while Klaus worked it like a well-oiled machine. I was slick and malleable. Everything from the previous night was in my mind. I knew the pleasures that lay ahead. God help me I was allowing myself to relent to Klaus' actions. The pleasure turned my brain to goo. As I panted for air, it was obvious that my rapid breathing had nothing to do with being starved of oxygen. Rather the tirade of heat that engulfed my body.
"Please stop."
"I can't deprive you my sweet. Not when you're trembling with heady desire at my touches." With a hand on my left breast Klaus took my right wrist in his hand and brought my palm up to rest against his chest. "Touch me Elena. Don't deny yourself. I too anticipate your surprisingly capable ministrations." Screwing my eyes shut at the sight of my hand on Klaus' chest I shook my head sharply and tried to pull my hand from him. Encountering resistance from myself as well as Klaus. Keeping my hand on him Klaus claimed my mouth with his own and stroked my tongue with his. Whimpering when his mouth on mine set fire to an invisible path of tingles from the back of my neck down over my breasts to my lower abdomen, Klaus responded with a growl. Grasping the length of my hair and yanking my head backwards he moved in to suck my neck. The gasp that left me seeming to make Klaus practically vibrate against my skin. My fingers itching to explore every ridge in the muscle of Klaus' torso, I couldn't stop myself from spreading the palm that I'd left against his chest when Klaus had released my wrist while he sucked on my neck. I wanted nothing more than to seek out the body I had so thoroughly enjoyed and didn't get enough of last night. No! This isn't right! I was betraying myself again and enjoying it in the process. It was only that I knew what Klaus was capable of.
Perhaps there was even some lingering effects from when I'd been dosed with Elijah's blood. More likely than not, I felt my lack of revulsion right now was because I had associated something lacking pain and overwhelmingly pleasurable with the monster. And now I was stuck in that mentality.
"Gorgeous. Who knew you could channel a wanton goddess." He stated with a hiss as a hand trailed down over my abdomen and lower until he cupped my thinly covered mound. A low moan left me as I bucked against his hand. My body responding shamelessly while I was sickened by Klaus' murmured coaxing. He kept his hand steady against my pelvic thrust and the continued friction had me riding his hand. Now clawing at his chest with my right hand my left swiftly curved around to his back and tried to draw him closer. Closing my eyes when I managed to do so, Klaus moved the hand I rode until it was suddenly removed and I pressed the junction of my thighs against the thigh he'd shifted between my legs. The towel he'd fastened around his hips was gone. With each move the outer muscle of my right leg pressed his ball sack and shaft up against his belly and I could feel his breathing hitch every few rolls of my pelvis. Biting and nipping at his collarbone I couldn't stop a tentative yet eager hand of mine from trailing down Klaus' side and then around to his front and down over his hip. Stilling my movement against his thigh I walked my index and middle fingers the remaining distance to the base of his swollen cock. Klaus' lips were on my shoulder and I turned my face towards his. Opening my eyes just a fraction to look at him from beneath my heavy lids. I met his gaze to find warmth and raw desire. There was no sickening sense than he was leering at me. Instead his gaze made me feel valued. Like a person instead of a possession. Surprised I widened my eyes and my mouth formed an 'O' as my lips parted. Staring into my eyes Klaus brought a hand up to the left side of my face and cupped it. His thumb brushed gently across my cheek and I shivered. What the? It was awing. Klaus seemed human and not ego driven. Was that even possible? My hand that had ventured down to his hard member stilled as I tried to make sense of him. Slowly, Klaus took a hand to the side of my g-string and slipped his fingers beneath the material before removing his thigh from between my legs and pulling the scant material down off my hips. Stepping free of them while still captivated by his eyes. Klaus reached around behind me to unclasp my bra. My back arched toward him and slightly brushed against his chest. The contact on my aching nipples urged my lips to find his. I shouldn't be-. Why am I kissing him? I went in with passion, but Klaus slowed my mouth with his own and explored it tenderly. Whimpering as Klaus guided the bra off my arms I made sure our mouths remained joined. Once naked I pressed myself against him and when he shifted against me while lifting my left leg to rest over his hip. I immediately felt his head against my opening. Wiggling in anticipation Klaus held me still and teased me by only entering me slightly. Breaking our mouths apart I mewled softly before groaning in aggravation as I tried to draw Klaus deep inside me.
"Please." I panted helplessly. Why am I asking him to do this? I know it's going to be amazing. But since when did I just give in? I don't want Klaus. "Please." Obliging Klaus slowly thrust into me groaning as my walls clenched around him and I bucked. Withdrawing just as slowly, I ached for him to move faster. But after five thrusts he was still moving torturously slow. My abdomen quivered each time he brushed past a sensitive spot deep inside and I couldn't stop myself from writhing as he continued his slow pace. "God!" I gasped as a huge wave of pleasure rocked my body. "Faster. Please." I begged.
"Not yet Elena." I bit down on the side of his neck in response and he growled. "Trying to persuade me sweetheart?" He breathed. "Just be patient. This will be well worth the wait. I guarantee it." Making a noise of frustration I was silenced as an intense wave of pleasure hit me and my walls milked his cock inside me. My juices sluicing around his hard length. Chuckling Klaus lifted my right leg up and around his waist and I locked my ankles behind him. He thrust in and out twice more at the same pace before I arched my back off the wall and writhed around uncontrollably. It was only then that he withdrew completely and rammed himself back inside.
Cumming so hard around him my body felt as though in a seizure. My hands around his back I clung to him in a quivering hot and sticky mess. As my walls contracted around him he stilled for a few moments before thrusting deep and forcefully multiple times within me at vampire speed, yet keeping everything gentle. It took mere moments for the pressure to build inside of me at that sensitive place within again and I was rocked by another orgasm. Again as I'd just started to come back down from the high Klaus forced another one on me in seconds. I was crying out and gasping for air and could feel the wetness my body was leaving on Klaus. Again and again he worked my body to completion in quick succession. The pleasure walked the fine line between it and pain. But god it was fantastic. After many orgasms I was shaking and shivering, my body weak from the exertion of my climaxes. Bucking when Klaus groaned and came inside me I moaned loudly. This wasn't possible. And yet, it was. My breathing heavy and my limbs like jelly I'd been reduced to a hot mess. Klaus was now completely supporting me despite my arms around him. He walked us over to the bath and sat on the edge with me still perched on his lap over his cock. The movement he made to reach over and turn off the taps slid his softening cock out of me slightly and then back in. The movement was so slight but it spurred another wave of pleasure through me and my breath caught in my throat before I panted through the easing sensations. A hand running through my hair and light kisses on my head and shoulder soothed me into near sleep as the water filled in the bath tub. I was absolutely exhausted and could already feel a slight ache in my muscles from the tension that had rocked through my body.
Sighing when Klaus lowered us into the water I relished the heat. Klaus slipped himself out of me and shifted so that I was contoured against his right side as he lay back against the wall of the tub. With my head lying on his chest Klaus brought a bleeding wrist to my mouth and I gladly latched my mouth over the wound to draw his blood into my mouth. The familiar slight buzz had only just begun when the wrist was taken from me.
Half an hour later neither of us had yet spoken a word. I remained in the position he'd facilitated. Not wanting to stir and have him gloat at me and my attempt to justify what I'd just done. I wasn't even sure there was justification for having sex with Klaus. Which is what I'd done. Every other time our bodies had joined, he'd raped me. While I had been reluctant at the start of this session. I had wanted it by the end. I didn't want to be left with an itch I'd be unable to scratch. And I'd known, not exactly what I would be treated to. Because that was mind-numbingly amazing. But I'd known it would be fantastic as a bare minimum. I almost wished I felt sick. Almost. It wasn't how one wanted to feel at any time. But instead of feeling disgusted with myself as sickness would encourage. I was conflicted more than anything else.
I had to look at what had just happened as meaningless pleasure. It could be categorised as casual sex really. And I'd never been adverse to the concept. It shouldn't be a big deal. And yet it was, because I already had something meaningful with Elijah. But this. What had just happened was nothing. Honestly it was just sex. A means to impregnate me. How else would Klaus' sperm invade my body? I had merely complied in this instance. That is all. I opted for pleasure instead of pain. It wasn't so bad for me to have done so was it? With all the pain my body has endured lately, who could blame me for taking stock in such wonderful sensations as I just had? I could. I could blame me. Far be if for me to be lenient with myself. I'd willingly allowed Klaus to try and achieve his goal. If I could alleviate any guilt for Elijah, it would only be transferred to every human being in existence and yet to come. It didn't matter that I couldn't get pregnant. I had relented to an aspect of Klaus' plan. I wasn't on his side. That was obvious. But just now I hadn't been resistant to him either.
"You mind is on overdrive love. So many thoughts racing around behind that stunning face of yours." Klaus spoke aloud. It had been a while since I'd drunk Klaus' blood so assumed I wouldn't have to move through aching limbs when I began to sit up and detach myself from him. I didn't want to be here. He'd got what was required of me over and done with. And if he was going to be smug about my enjoyment I didn't want to hear about it. Not that I wanted to be here in any other case. "What are you doing?" He asked casually.
"Is it not obvious? I'm ready for round two and I'm getting into position." I said as I strengthened my resolve to stand up from the water naked before him.
"Really?" He murmured admiringly as I stood and the bath water cascaded down off my body to return to the pool that came up to my mid thigh. "Then why is your plan of distancing yourself from me screaming in your mind?" He asked gently as he took hold of my right wrist.
"Wishful thinking?" I suggested lightly to which he chuckled.
"You should know I will always call your bluff Elena. So you might want to be careful with voicing responses of that nature. I might just take you up on such offers."
"Who's to say I wasn't going to take round two with one of your followers?" I enquired cheekily while trying to tug my arm from him.
"Tease." He smirked. "Sit back down sweetheart. You know we're bathing together." He pulled gently but firmly on my arm. I had to shift my footing to remain upright and found both my feet in between his spread legs. Perfect position to take a shot at the tool he had far too many liberties to use. Before I'd even shifted my weight to lift a foot and stomp down on his relievingly soft appendage Klaus growled. "Don't you dare." He spoke harshly within my head before he yanked me down towards him with more force and I slipped. The world spun and I found my bum softly contacting with the floor of the bath. Klaus' legs were either side of me and he had gripped my upper arms with his hands. Klaus had made sure that once I'd been spun around and into position that he wouldn't bust my arse when I was sat in the bath again. Odd of him.
Neither of us said anything while the water splashed around us. Licking up the sides of the bath until the turbulence passed and the movement settled.Keeping myself sitting straight and rigid so I wouldn't lean back against him I mulled over whether I should make mention of how appreciative my arse was in this moment.
"Thank you." I finally said stiffly.
"For what?" Klaus asked, his tone confused. But I knew he knew what I was thanking him for.
"Surely you've been reading my mind. You know what I'm thanking you for."
"Sorry. I wasn't listening just now." I clenched my jaw shut in anger. Sure you weren't. "Is there any chance of you elaborating?" He enquired gently. At least he's not gloating about it. Sighing and knowing he wanted me to say it aloud I did so.
"Thank you for not hurting me just now."
"You're welcome." Klaus replied kindly. Kindly? Where's Klaus and what have you done with him? "Do you see? We can co-operate and be civil. You, and I. We can and will be so much more. But at this point we are certainly capable of getting along." I thought about his words about co-operation and being civil. His emphasis on my role. I'd been a willing participant during our sex tonight and since then he'd been treating me rather well. Not hurting me when he very well could have. Life could be more bearable if I wasn't to get knocked about so much. All I might have to do is co-operate with him. Not completely. Just a little bit would surely have an effect. He began to pull me back against him then. No. No, we're close enough! Instead of letting my disgust control my actions I decided to test the water, as it were. Try to resist him without being disrespectful using all the names for him that he suited so well.
"What are you doing? Klaus. Please. Give me some space for once." I pleaded while straining forward from him.
"I give you space Elena. You had plenty of space today." I didn't have a response to that so commenced thrashing about in the water instead. My fight lasting only seconds as he curled his legs inwards over mine beneath the water and my back was leant against his chest. Breathing out heavily in defeat. I knew I wasn't getting out of this and thought it best to endure whatever this was, and wherever this was going. Continue trying to be civil. At least we'd done-the-dirty already tonight. I could only hope the rest wouldn't be so bad as I lay against him stiff as a board. "It amazes me how you can be so tense after I've just relieved you of such a large amount of it." He murmured and kissed my shoulder. "Are you in need of another session?" He chuckled.
"No. Thank you." I replied.
"Perhaps." He paused before continuing. "You should tell your body. Or I'll think otherwise." Immediately understanding what he was getting at I began working on relaxing my body.
About twenty minutes came to pass before Klaus interrupted the silence. I had by this time fully relaxed against him and he seemed to approve. Alternately caressing my neck and waist as he held me.
"You're awfully quiet."
"Mmm. Funny that." I responded sleepily with sarcasm. Admittedly I'd probably become too relaxed. But since I'd been so highly strung lately I supposed I could be forgiven. Of course, my guard wouldn't be up. But it wasn't when I slept either.
"Why the attitude?" Klaus asked earnestly.
"You expect me to chat idly with you about how my day was, and you yours? Confide in each other our problems and so on?"
"We have an eternity together Elena. It's hardly a ridiculous notion that we wouldn't discuss such things." I didn't answer him. Instead opting for ignorance. "I suppose you're a little caught up in your guilt at the moment to want to talk." He continued when I remained silent.
"What? I'm not guilty." I bit back a little too sharply to hide the fact that it was slowly eating away at me.
"No? Doubtful. Especially since you were cataloguing it earlier."
"That right there. Answers the question as to whether it's really necessary to chat with you. If you're always going to invade my mind then you're always going to know what I may or may not say. There is no point in talking to you."
"Ah. But I find interest in what one thinks but does not say. Or rather would voice if not for fear of judgement. Either by others or by themselves. When kept within the confines of someone's mind the nature of what one mulls over can seem a passing fancy. Not real. Yet that changes quite dramatically when their ears are privy to the information. It can highlight quite peculiar things."
"I'm glad you consider me interesting." I sighed, to which he chuckled. Sitting forward and turning my torso at the waist to look at him with a frown on my face. "Why is it so important for you to know everything? Right down to what people think? You're very controlling. That's obvious. But it seems to me you're extremely insecure if you need to see what's in other's minds." Tilting his head Klaus considered me for a long moment.
"It has nothing to do with being insecure. I need to remain one step ahead of everyone to uphold my position in this world. It has gotten me to where I am now. Once I release my werewolf side it won't be so crucial for me to keep tabs on every aspect of my empire. Besides. My ability to read minds is an advantage. Why not use it?"
"Elijah considers it as a mere trick. Owww!" Cringing, I hissed in pain as Klaus' right hand dug into my waist. Tears stung my eyes as he maintained his grip on me.
"If it was merely a trick it would be accompanied by dramatic flourishes and amateur results." He growled lowly. Hoping to appeal to him I found his eyes with my own.
"You're hurting me." I stated softly to which he released my waist. The pain faded instantaneously. I couldn't help but looked at him shocked.
"I'm sorry. Try not to mention my brother his existence angers me beyond belief." His honesty. Not just regarding Elijah. But his sorry. Seemed genuine. I had to remind myself this was Klaus for a moment.
"And that's excuse enough for you to hurt me?" Making sure I kept eyes contact with his I ran my hand unconsciously over where he'd gripped me. Finding no tenderness at all.
"I am sorry." He repeated softly as he reached out to stroke my cheek. The gesture unsettling me I looked down from his intense yet soft eyes. "I don't wish to harm you Elena. I wish I could prove that to you in some way. But I find I get the responses I want when pain is inflicted. Especially when time is limited." He almost sounded regretful.
"That's a sorry excuse for an apology." I spoke as I turned first my head away from him to face forward, followed by twisting my torso. "But seems strangely genuine coming from you." The sound of water splashed behind me and a soft cloth met with my back and began travelling in circular motions across it. I was surprised I hadn't jumped when it came into contact with my skin. The almost undetectable pause as it began it's movements told me that it was unexpected by Klaus also.
I let him wash my back. He wouldn't have let me do anything else anyway. And there was no harm in being clean. Once done he passed the cloth and bar of soap forward for me to wash the rest of my body which I found to be the most decent way he'd ever acted towards me. Not needing to be invited to tend to myself twice I set about cleaning the rest of me while he went ahead and dropped some shampoo onto the top of my head.
"You can stop thanks. I can wash my own hair."
"I know." Was all he said as he began massaging my scalp and working the resulting lather into my hair. When I was about to start cleaning my legs Klaus extended his arm around to my front and offered a razor. "You're in need of this I think." Taking it wordlessly I couldn't help but smirk at the difference in the situation compared to while Elijah'd held me hostage. I wasn't about to kill myself with vampire blood in my system. Elijah had only to force some into me to put his mind at ease. But that was also a difference. Elijah wasn't forceful. Not without necessity in any case. "Shift forward so you can lie back while I rinse your hair." Turning my head around to look at him skeptically he caught my drift. "I'm not planning to drown you love." Biting my lower lip I did as he asked. Tension igniting my senses to anything amiss. Once rinsed I went through the motions of shaving my legs and armpits while Klaus conditioned. When I found it too awkward to even consider beyond a moment tidying up my bikini area Klaus cleared his throat and suggested I'd forgotten something.
"Is that really necessary? Right now?"
"Mhmm." Was his only response. Hoping that I could draw out his good treatment of me I did as he indicated. However perverse it felt to shave myself down there with him right behind me.
Once the conditioner was rinsed from my hair also I was done and Klaus supported me as I stepped out over the deep side of the bath.
"What am I wearing to get back to you room?" I asked timidly having spied two robes hanging side by side. One shorter in length than the other.
"Your robe is the shorter one." Supplied Klaus as the water sloshed in the bath while he washed himself. Deciding to forego the single towel, I took the supplied robe and thread my right arm into the matching sleeve. Behind me the sound of turbulent water ceased and Klaus cleared his throat again. Looking to him as I began threading my left arm I froze when his eyes darkened dangerously.
"Alright, alright." Rushed from my mouth as I quickly divested the robe and dried myself with the towel, trying to ignore how dirty I felt despite having just bathed. Dressed in the robe I surveyed my appearance in the mirror while drying my length of hair and fingering it free of tangles before turbaning it in the towel.
"Would you mind?" Klaus asked from the bath. Turning to see what Klaus was referring to I saw he was holding up the bar of soap and wash cloth. I frowned at him.
"Your-," I trailed off. "Back?" I asked to which he nodded. As I kept in mind how relatively pain free the evening had been I took both from him and sat on the edge of the tub and worked the soapy cloth against his skin. Trying to cast my mind off the muscles of his back I let my stomach distract me. After not eating all day I was quite hungry. "May I eat something shortly? It's just. I haven't eaten all day-." Instead of a snarky response like: "Who's fault was that now?" Klaus obliged. Finishing up his back I moved up and washed the back of his neck and lightly cleaned behind his ears. He was done and after dunking himself stood up in the water. Looking away I removed the towel from my head and handed it to him before moving back to the mirror to assess my hair again. More so to keep myself from having to look at his nakedness than my vanity.
"You can head back to our room now if you wish while I fetch you something to eat." Nodding I quickly left and obediently went straight to his room.
