She felt her lungs burning in her chest the faster she pushed herself over the hill hearing Klaus slowly gaining on her, "Ugh," she hated feeling that smug look on her back.
"Come on Caroline," he shouted from behind her, "Just come back down," he said sounding as if he was effortlessly gaining on her which only fueled her.
She didn't reply as she pushed through the ever growing hill breathing the way her old trainer had taught her so she wouldn't exert herself.
Then she saw it, out of the corner of her eye and she cursed him as Klaus came into view by her right arm a smile in place while she probably looked like a red tomato.
Before she knew it her hands were shoving him Klaus' face contorted at the unexpected push as he stumbled forward the second she did it she felt bad.
Really, she did, only a twinge of gratification hit before she felt him catch her ankle and drag him down with her rolling as she went.
They rolled together landing on a semi-flat part of the hill he had bet her she couldn't reach the top of before him, Caroline didn't even know why she wanted to prove anything to him.
Since the day she met him at Rebekah's birthday party he had been the bane of her existence but he was also an excellent runner and she need him.
Of course when she had begrudgingly asked him to help her get back into shape because she had been slacking as of late the usual smug grin grew.
Boy did he drag it out too, sometimes he still made a point to remind her how she needed him especially when she was working her ass off and really wanted to drop him on his.
Which she just had so, opps, she winced feeling a rock at the center of her spine making it uncomfortable to lie back.
Well that and also that fact that Klaus was on top of her constricting her breathing his eyes widening as they assessed one another, "I shouldn't have done that," he said.
Breaking the small moment they shared as he began fumbling his hands running over her face and neck over her shoulders softly but deftly checking her fingers and ribs.
Caroline shut her eyes biting her lip as his hands roamed her waist and over her stomach, "What are you doing?" she asked between jerky breaths.
Klaus looked up from her thighs, "Looking you over, Love," he answered in the simplest form as his hands dragged down one of her thighs and then the other.
She groaned as he was checking her flexibility making him pause before finally coming to her ankles his breath tickling her, "Stop I'm fine except for one thing."
Klaus quickly crawled up her front holding himself on his hands at either of her sides as Caroline squirms her hand disappearing behind her.
"Rock," she said showing him as she leaned up on her elbows tossing the rock aside, "But thanks for the concern," she told him as their breaths mixed.
His eyes seemed glued to her face flicking once to her lips as if asking permission, Caroline had no clue how things had escalated or when but she felt like it was always like this.
With a tilt of her head and a slight lift of his chin their lips brushed their noses pressing softly as she watched him through half-hooded lashes their breaths growing more frantic.
Her hand came up his arm to his shoulder her thumb caressing his neck as her fingers dug into the nape of his neck and he kissed her again.
She wanted to curse, instead she cried out in response hearing him groan in unison as he bent his elbows and gave in consuming her.
His arms at her shoulders as Klaus cupped her face his lips and body smoldering over her own encompassing both Klaus and her.
Her hips lifts grinding under him as he pushed his body up sliding as he continued kissing Caroline from another angle their running shorts rubbing against their sensitized skin further lubricated by their sweat.
He growled her name making her whole body shiver at the sound his tongue sliding over her own, sparks flying across her closed eyelids.
This morning they hated each other hadn't they, she asked herself as he sucked her upper lip into his mouth their teeth clashing passionately.
Her nails scraped his scalp making him moan as he ran a hand up her side unlike before a feeling of passion beholden and true as he reached her chest.
His hand pressed against her rising breast squeezing eliciting a sigh from Caroline herself, "There could be people around," he said as he felt her hand slide over his stomach.
The second he said it her eyes shot open and she realized what her wandering hands had been doing, "What if there aren't?' she asked surprising him.
He kissed her neck nipping at the back of her ear tenderly only encouraging the flame inside of her, "Tell me what you want," he demanded as his hand folded down the elastic waistband of her shorts.
"What you like," he continued as he watched her reactions as he licked down the slick valley of her breasts until he reached her moist top.
He pressed hot kisses to her covered stomach that seemed to bleed through the fabric as he tugged on the waistband once more his hand pushing up her shirt.
She let out an exaggerated breath as she watched him growing altogether too hot, "Tell me or we'll go back to pretending there's nothing between us but utter annoyance," he told her.
Caroline paused at the offer his tongue darting out to lick the tip of his perfect lips, lips that made her swollen with his kisses.
She waited too long because Klaus began to shift moving to get up disappointment evident as she half whimpered at him getting up.
She grabbed him by his necklaces dragging him back down over her to keep from popping them, "I want you," she pants her hands weaving into his hair as she feels him crawl over her.
"I like having sex outside," she confessed as he gripped her backside pressing her center to his she almost kisses him but pulls back surprising him.
She flips him so he's on his back, "And I think it's my turn to look you over," she informs him with a dangerous grin as her hands run down his chest.
If she feels him stirring against her thigh she pretends to ignore it in favor of touching his shoulders, molding his arms and pressing his fingers to her hips.
She kisses his neck and bites his sternum as he watches her slowly slide down his body his mid-drift exposed from her exploits.
He groans throwing his head back as she bites him right next to the happy trail that leads straight down his into his shorts.
A line Caroline's tongue becomes familiar with a second later making him jerk up in response dragging her mouth back to his as she laughs climbing into his lap once more.
