Chapter Sixteen: One Dance

Caroline fiddle with the cup that she was holding, not really noticing that she was spilling beer all over the floor. She caught herself just in time and looked around the nearly full Saloon. Madam Pearl had hired a few more girls, but Caroline was still outnumbered. Not to mention that Katherine had the habit of disappearing at the oddest of times leaving Caroline alone to serve the drinks.

"Two beers."

Caroline nodded as she grabbed two beers and headed toward the table. There were two men at the table. Caroline noticed a particularly handsome one with blond curls and green eyes. "Here you go."

"Thanks, sweetheart." He smiled as he slipped a coin between her breasts. "What's your name?"

"Marigold," Caroline said giving him the fake name as she did with all the clients that came to the saloon. Most of them probably guessed that, that wasn't her real name. But they didn't seem to care if Caroline showed off her breasts and willowy figure. Men were so simple and so easy to manipulate, Caroline thought.

"Marigold," he repeated with a smile. "I like it. My name is Jesse."

Caroline smiled and was about to leave when she felt her wrist being pulled slightly. Caroline was used to being manhandled by men, but she usually managed to defend herself and she would usually threatened to kick them out which made them stop immediately, but unfortunately this man didn't seem to care.

"Sir, let me go," Caroline said firmly trying not to let the tone in her voice wavered. "I do have other customers to attend to."

Jesse tightened his grip around her wrist and refused to let her go and Caroline couldn't pull away because of how tight he was holding her. "Let me go," she hissed at him. She attempted to kick him, but it proved fruitless. She bit his hand as hard as she could and Jesse let out a couple of swear words as he punched Caroline on the eye.

The crowd went silent and Madam Pearl angrily went towards them. "Sir, what do you think you're- "Before Madam Pearl could finished her sentence, Klaus came out of nowhere and punched Jesse across the face until he was beaten to a bloody pulp. He only stopped because one of the other officers pulled him away. Klaus angrily ordered them to take Jesse to the jail cell and that he shouldn't be let out until morning.

Everything to Caroline was blurry and nothing was making sense. She didn't understand what Madam Pearl was saying. Klaus asked her something, but she didn't understand what he was saying. Everything was so confusing, her eye was burning and she felt like she wanted to cry.

Klaus sighed as he helped her up and pressed his hands around her waist and walked her towards her room.

Her eye was hurting and burning. Caroline could feel her eye swelling and she was just glad that Jesse hadn't hit her harder and that Klaus had been there. Klaus had promised that Jesse would spend the night in jail and that he would get a large fine. Madam Pearl had also promised that Jesse would be banned from the saloon.

Klaus opened the door of her bedroom and helped her inside and helped her sit on the bed. He filled a pitcher with water and got a cold cloth. He dabbed some water with the cloth and pressed it against her swollen eye.

Caroline flinched when the cold water hit her eye and Caroline hissed and tried to move away. Klaus gripped her by her waist so that Caroline didn't move. "I know it hurts, love. But you need to stay still, it will take the swelling down."

Caroline forced herself to stay still as Klaus continue to press the cool cloth against her eye. The pain seemed to evaporate or at the very least it no longer hurt like it used too. "It doesn't seem to be damage. But we should probably take you to the doctor in the morning. Can you open your eyes?" Caroline nodded as she managed to open it. "Well, that's good. Fortunately, the swelling should be gone in a few days. You're going to have a black eye for a couple of days, though."

"Terrific," Caroline said. She relaxed slightly when the pain in her eye became numb. "Thank you." She whispered. "For defending me from that jerk."

"You're welcome," Klaus said. "I will never let you be hurt, Caroline. You know that."

Caroline nodded as she stared at his kind, blue eyes. "I know that now. I didn't think you had come tonight." Since Caroline had rejected Klaus' marriage proposal he hadn't come to the saloon often and Caroline didn't blame him since the blond had broken his heart, but Caroline did miss him.

Yet, he had come tonight and he had saved her. She saw as Klaus fussed over the bed trying to make her comfortable. Caroline told him to stop and she pressed her hands against his face and pulled him towards him, kissing him.

Klaus was surprised for a second, but continued kissing her, she felt his warm lips on hers as Caroline stated unbuttoning his shirt. Klaus pressed her gently on the bed and ripped open the bodice. He pulled down her chemise and exposed her breasts.

Klaus gently twisted the pink nipples making them instantly became hard. Caroline felt her need for him grow and she just wanted him inside of her. She just wanted to feel pleasure. Klaus continued kissing her. He massaged her neck with one hand and caressed her breasts with the other.

Caroline removed her skirt wanting to be naked and to feel Klaus touching every inch of her body. Klaus removed her drawers in one quick swipe, obviously wanting her to be naked as well. His thumb found her overly eager clit and Caroline arched her back eager to get as much pleasure from his fingers as possible. Unlike last time, Klaus complied.

He stationed himself in between her legs, sucking on her eager clit at full force nearly driving Caroline crazy. She loved feeling his hot tongue in between her legs as it slowly made his way in between her lady parts.

He stopped when she was closed to climaxing as Caroline stared, flushed and Klaus removed his pants. She watched in a daze as his erection grew. She wrapped her legs around his torso as Klaus entered her pussy filling her with his seed as Klaus wrapped his arms around Caroline as she reached climax.

Klaus' semen coated her thighs and Caroline stared at him breathlessly. "You let me cum, I thought you wouldn't until I agreed to marry you."

Klaus pushed her curls. "You were hurt. I gave you a break."
