AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello lovelies, look! I updated early.
I'm happy to see that everyone was pleasantly surprised that the twins found out early, I hadn't planned on it originally, Caroline was supposed to be able to sneak out unnoticed but I changed my mind awhile back and you all seemed to like it. I'm also pleased that you all seemed to like the talk between Klaus and the twins. And those of you are curious about Lexi, it will be explained.
Speaking of which, some people had messaged me asking about Lexi and I replied that you would find out in the next part i.e. the one below but then once I started writing it, the part kind of got away from me and decided to put it off to the next one. I apologize for that!
To the people who leave Guest reviews, I know you are worried that I'm not getting them but I am! They come through via email but don't show up on the site for a couple of days for some weird reason.
To Sam: Yes, my hubby and thank you
To Claire: Welcome and thank you very much!
Thanks to klarolineepiclove, and approvesomuch or their help. And Cecevolume for being my wonderful beta! And nfinneman for the beautiful coverart.
I have a request from you guys, when you read Henry and Lexi, are their particular child actors that stick out to you? If they do, can you leave it in your review who they are? I would appreciate it.
WARNING: MATURE RATING FOR THIS PART.
Part 40
"Caroline, I can see the pool!" Henry yelled as he tugged on the blonde's hand towards the doors that lead to the object of his excitement.
"No, Caroline, look!" Lexi exclaimed at the same time, pulling her other hand towards the hotel gift shop. "They have princess t-shirts and tiaras!"
"And there's an arcade! Can we go? They have a ton of games." Henry announced.
"No, we need to go to the store first and see what else they have." Lexi retorted.
"Hang on a minute, if you guys keep tugging on me like this, I'm going to snap like the wishbone at Thanksgiving." Caroline declared as she pulled both of the kids towards her before they could yank her arms out of their sockets. "We'll explore everything, I promise, but right now why don't we just sit here and wait for your dad. He's only going to be a few minutes checking in and then we can go to our room. You don't want to haul our luggage with us everywhere do you?"
Both of the twins shook their heads in agreement, but still looked upset that they had to hang back. Thankfully, Caroline spotted something that might keep their attention for a few minutes; it was an area that looked to be set up for just such an occasion. "It looks like that TV is playing some old Mickey cartoons and they have stuff you can color; do you want to sit there while we wait?"
While the suggestion wasn't their heart's desire, the kids seemed okay with it. They rushed over to the table to see what was available to color and Caroline took a deep breath. She felt like she'd been going nonstop since the morning before when the twins had unexpectedly caught them. They had begun breakfast talking about the trip but the conversation had quickly turned towards the newly revealed information about herself and Klaus .
The twins were very curious about their relationship, asking questions about if Caroline was going to be moving into Klaus' room or if it meant she would spend all of her time with them or not. They explained that while the two of them would be sharing a room on the trip, Caroline would still be living in her current bedroom and, while she would be spending more time with them, she would still be going about her life like she had before.
It was during this time that they also told the twins that the rest of the family did not know, that they were the first to be told, and that they needed to keep it a secret until they returned. They were excited about that and liked the idea that they were privy to information that others weren't.
If that hadn't been exhausting enough, they had spent the rest of the day packing and doing other chores that needed to be done before they left as well as the activities Caroline had planned for them until it was time for bed. Not that any of them had actually been able to get much sleep, the excitement was too thick in the air.
Unfortunately, the four of them had an eight o'clock flight, which meant they had to get up early to get to the airport. Klaus had someone once again take them to the airport and Caroline was very thankful that it hadn't been Dean. The flight had been uneventful, except for the two almost eight year olds who were so rambunctious that they acted as if they had both drank a case of Mountain Dew.
She had found it sweet; Henry and Lexi had traveled to a lot of places with their father from what she knew but, according to him, they never acted like this. Caroline knew it was due to the destination and she couldn't blame them, she was excited too.
Caroline kept an eye on the kids as well as their luggage as she wandered around the lobby a bit. It was nice and cool, an escape from the warm humid air outside that had her tank top sticking her a bit. The interior was beautiful, pale yellow walls with white trim; comfortable wicker furniture throughout along with tile floors; it reminded her of the pictures she had seen of the beach houses along the coast of New England which she knew was what Disney had been going for with it. It gave her a feeling of tranquility that she appreciated after the chaos it was to get there.
As she strolled around, she came across a small area that reminded her of Klaus' studio, it had a canvas and various paints, assorted portraits and a sign that said the man sitting there sketching would do portraits for a charge.
She glanced over his work briefly before he spoke, "Would you like to have a portrait done? I can have one done for you very quickly."
Caroline opened her mouth to reply but before she could, a familiar accented voice answered for her. "Mate, if you think you could possibly draw a portrait that would hold a candle to the beauty of this subject in less than a few hours, you are sorely mistaken."
Unable to keep the smile off of her face at his compliment, she glanced back over her shoulder to where Klaus had walked up behind her before looking back at the man in front of her. "Thank you, but no. Your work is lovely, but I don't think my artist would like anyone drawing me except for him."
The man nodded in understanding, smiling pleasantly before he returned to his work. Caroline turned then to face Klaus before saying. "That was quick."
"Well love, you had already filled in all of the information that they required up front so checking in was simply a matter of getting the keys to our rooms." Klaus explained, holding up the four credit card looking objects that had their names on them. "They asked if we wanted our luggage delivered to our suite, however I thought it would be best if we took it with us, since the twins' swimwear is packed and I have no doubt that they plan to be in the water before it could be brought."
Caroline laughed. "Actually, I think they might have snuck them on under their clothes, but I have no problem hauling this stuff a little further."
They called over Henry and Lexi then, telling them it was time to go. They were reluctant at first to leave their drawings but Caroline told them that they could easily finish them up later with the crayons they had brought with them. After a few minutes walk as well as one elevator ride, they arrived at the door to their suite.
After Lexi opened it for them, they went inside. The entrance brought them right into the main living space of the suite, which was very open. It started first with the kitchen area, which was complete with all appliances as well as a sturdy wood table for four, then flowed into the living room. From where they were standing, there were two doors on either side of them that lead to the bedrooms.
"Well, what do you think?" Caroline asked nervously. "I know it's not as large as the condo in Barbados..."
"Where's our room?" Henry interrupted excitedly.
"It should be that way," She pointed to the door on their right. Both of the kids dropped their bags on the spot and ran for their room.
Caroline looked over at Klaus to see what he thought of the room. "I know you saw it online, but what do you think?"
"I think it's wonderful. Plenty of room for the four of us for the small amount of time we will be here." He commented. Caroline saw that he was about say more when a loud voice from the other room interrupted them.
"Cool! There's a bed inside the couch!" Henry exclaimed. "I call it!"
"You can't call it!" Lexi shouted back. "Dad!"
"You two will have to switch each night, that's the only fair way." Klaus called into them. He heard the two of them grumbling but neither offered any further argument on the matter so he turned his attention to Caroline. "So I assume that the other doorway is for our room?"
Caroline nodded as she headed through the doorway, dragging her suitcase behind her. As they walked into the master suite, there was a large bathroom, complete with a large jet tub and stand up shower stall before they reached the bedroom. Klaus noticed that not only did they have a large king size bed, but he liked what he saw in the bathroom as well.
Caroline saw the smirk on Klaus' face as well as the look in his eye and knew he was thinking less than innocent thoughts. "What is going through your mind, Klaus?"
"I was just thinking that both the tub and shower look plenty big enough for two." Klaus declared boldly.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes at his innuendo, though she had thought of it herself when she had seen pictures of the suite online. "Oh really?"
He nodded. "And I couldn't help but notice that we have an entire common room between our bedroom and theirs."
"Down boy, let's see if we have any energy left after chasing your children around the Happiest Place on Earth and going through endless amount of lines for the rides first." Caroline teased.
"I have no doubt that I will have plenty of energy to ravish you." Klaus taunted as he moved in front of her, lightly brushing his lips with hers before saying. "And there's one ride you can go on as many times as you want without worrying about a line."
Her breath caught in her throat at his implication, knowing exactly what 'ride' he was referring to, as her body heated up. She knew then that she had spoken too soon, they would find the energy for each other no matter what the day was like. Caroline leaned forward, pressing her lips more firmly against his to show him what she thought of his idea. He reciprocated enthusiastically and moved to deepen the kiss when they heard two little throats clearing.
"You guys aren't going to do that the entire trip are you?" Lexi asked sounding very annoyed.
"Yeah, we're here to have fun, not kiss girls." Henry stated.
"Henry, one day you will find that kissing girls is fun." Klaus replied cheekily to his son and laughed when he made a face of disgust.
"What about Lexi? Aren't you going to tell her that she is going to think kissing boys is fun?" Caroline asked.
Klaus' laughter died instantly at the thought. "No, because that's not going to happen for a very very long time."
"Well that's not very fair." Caroline teased.
"Never said I was." Klaus declared before turning back to his children. "Now what can we do for the two of you?"
"We want to go swimming." Lexi announced. "Can we? Or are we going to go to one of the parks?"
"Your dad and I thought we'd just stay around the hotel tonight since we've been traveling all day and go to the parks tomorrow." Caroline answered.
"And since it's still too early for dinner, we should unpack first." Klaus said nonchalantly. When he saw the disappointed looks on the twins' he added, "So that we can find our swimming gear and head down to the pool."
"YES!" The two yelled before they started yanking off their T-shirts and shorts.
Caroline couldn't help but laugh when she saw that she had been right about the kids wearing their swimsuits under their travelling clothes. In less than thirty seconds, they were stripped down to their suits and set to go. "Ready."
Klaus shook his head in amazement at the two of them. "I should have guessed that you would be prepared. However, Caroline and I still need to get changed, so why don't you go take your luggage that you discarded by the front door into your rooms and unpack while we get changed."
"Fine," Henry said with a pout. "But don't take too long."
"We won't, I promise." Caroline assured him before they left. She grabbed her own suitcase and placed it on the nearby rack so that she could open it and find one of her own swimsuits. Knowing that the kids had been as excited about the pool as going to the parks and would therefore want to spend as much time in the water as possible, she brought along more than one suit. She had the one that she had bought for Barbados as well as a modest pink polka dotted bikini. She might not have to worry looking professional on this trip but they would be swimming with the kids and she didn't want to have a wardrobe malfunction while in the pool.
Deciding to go with the bikini, she pulled it out of her bag and noticed Klaus messing with his own luggage in an attempt to find swimwear. She decided it would probably be safer if she changed in the other room so she headed towards the adjoining bathroom. After stripping out of her sweaty, dusty travel clothes, Caroline quickly pulled on the boy shorts and bikini top, before pulling her hair up into a high messy ponytail and left the bathroom. When she walked back into the bedroom, she stopped mid-step at the sight before her.
In the few minutes she had been changing, Klaus had changed out of his regular clothes and now wore only a pair of dark blue swim trunks. They were by no means revealing, and she had seen him many times now with far less on but the trunks hung just right on him, low around his hips and the effect made his muscled torso look even longer and alluring. He must have heard her return because he looked up at that moment and noticed her staring at him. "Something wrong, love?"
"No, not at all." Caroline shook her head as she let her eyes drop again to look over his body, making sure that he was aware of what she was doing before she spoke again. "I was just thinking about that offer for a ride that you made earlier."
"Oh you were, were you?" Klaus replied, his voice sounding a bit huskier to her as his eyes raked over her form. She looked a combination of adorable and sexy in her pink bikini, her full breasts completely covered but showing an enticing amount of cleavage, while the little boxy shorts covered her pert bottom.
She bit her lip as she nodded again. "Yes, I was thinking that maybe we should get a rope or something."
"Whatever for?" He asked sounding surprised.
"Well, so I can tie up all of the women who are going to want to get in line for a ride on you, of course." Caroline replied, laughing as she ducked out of their room before he could respond.

The pool was one of the main reasons Caroline had picked this particular hotel out of all that was available. The main pool was huge, more like a mini water park than a pool, complete with a long water slide at the top of a pirate ship and she knew that any kid would love it, hell she loved it and she hadn't been a kid for a long time.
As they walked around the pool area, trying to find a vacant spot where they could drop their things, Caroline saw various women glancing up at them, staring for a moment before looking away and she knew without a doubt that they were checking out Klaus. She couldn't blame them a bit, he was an unbelievably gorgeous man but that didn't stop her from slipping her hand into his, making sure that everyone knew he was taken.
Ever since they had arrived at the airport that morning, the two of them had stopped acting as if they weren't dating. They could do simple things like hold hands, put their arms around each other or simply just touch the other without the stares of those around them. It was a new experience and she had found it very freeing. While she had been all for the two them keeping things quiet, she also liked being able to act like any other couple with him. She was very much looking forward to when they returned home and telling everyone. She knew that Klaus' family would most likely be happy as would Bonnie but she wasn't sure about how Elena would take the news. Or her own mother, but she would deal with that when the time came and enjoy this time away.
They finally found a spot that would work and quickly dumped their towels and things. After a quick application of sunblock, which Klaus of course helped her with, Caroline and he followed after the twins to the edge of the pool. The entry points to the pool were different than any other she had been in before, instead of stairs or a later, the bottom just gradually sloped down and you walked in.
"It's just like the ocean." Henry exclaimed as they waded in. "There's sand and everything!"
Henry was right; the bottom of the pool had a sandy bottom, just like the ocean or a lake but a lot cleaner. "Well, at least here I won't have to worry about little fishes nibbling on my legs again."
Klaus and Lexi only smiled at her as she glared at them, remembering the trick they had pulled on her during their first trip to the ocean in Barbados. "Flash those dimples at me all you want, I still plan to get revenge."
"I think I like this vicious side of you, sweetheart," Klaus replied teasingly.
"We'll see how much you like it when I get you back." Caroline retorted as she walked with Henry into the water.
It seemed to Caroline that the four of them explored every inch of the pool over the next couple of hours, they played in the shallow water with the sand, and the waterfalls, went down the slide more times than she could count and were currently relaxing in the lazy river, floating along on inner tubes.
"Please, Caroline…" Lexi begged from her spot in the inner tube that she was sharing with Henry. "Dad won't go again."
"I'm sorry, sweetheart, but a dozen times is more than enough for me." Klaus replied, his hand running up Caroline's leg from his spot next to her. The twins were sharing one inner tube, and the adults each had their own, but he had pulled her leg into his lap so to stay close to her while she had her arm resting against the twins' tube.
"Just one more time." Henry asked.
Caroline looked at their pleading faces, and knew there was no saying no. "Fine, but only one more time, it's almost time to go get something to eat."
As the kids whooped and hollered, Klaus just shook his head. "You are an easy mark and they know it."
"Look who's talking." She replied with a smile. "Are you going to stay here? Or go with us and watch?"
"I think I'll stay here, enjoy the water." Klaus answered.
"Okay, your loss." Caroline called to him as she and the twins got out of the water and headed towards the slide.
Klaus watched the three of them walk away, the sight of them bringing a smile to his face. It was a huge relief to him that the twins accepted him and Caroline together. True, Lexi still seemed a little off about them, nothing he could put his finger on though. She didn't say anything to him or treat Caroline any differently, but there were times when he saw something on her face while looking at them that made him wonder.
He laid his head back and closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of floating along the current. He wasn't sure how many laps he made around the river while he waited for them to come back, he was so relaxed he felt like he could go to sleep at any moment. Then suddenly Klaus felt himself being lifted into the air before suddenly being dumped into the water he had just been floating on.
It only took him a few seconds to recover before he was back up to the surface, gasping a bit for air and wiping the water away from his eyes. As he did, he heard Caroline's musical laugh, as well as his children's giggles. Klaus turned in the direction of the sound and saw them still laughing, with mischievous glints in their eyes.
"Oops." Caroline said, though he could tell that she was anything but apologetic. "I guess you must have hit a large wave or something."
"A wave, huh?" Klaus asked.
Caroline saw the look on his face and knew she was in trouble. She glanced down at the twins before yelling to them. "Run!"
/
Klaus came into the bedroom, stripping his clothes off until he was just in his boxers. He had just put the twins in bed, and he guessed that Caroline was in the shower by the sound of it. He was just thinking about joining her when he heard the water turn off. Cursing his luck for missing the opportunity, he sat down on the bed against the headboard; his long legs spread out in front him as he waited for her, trying to wind down from a long day they had had.
After swimming, they had changed out of their wet suits into some dry clothes and went off to explore what they hadn't seen of the hotel as well as get dinner. They had seen everything in the hotel such as the arcade, which the twins loved, as well as the store where they had to talk Lexi out of trying to buy everything she saw, telling her that there would be plenty more stores to choose from once they were in the parks. They had ended up in a small diner type restaurant on the ground floor called Beaches and Cream. It wouldn't have been Klaus' first choice, but he had quickly been out voted by the other three with him. In the end, dinner had been a very memorable experience.
"So, did they go right down?" Klaus heard her familiar voice ask from the bathroom.
He heard the voice come closer and looked up to see Caroline standing in the doorway, wearing nothing but one of his t-shirts. Her hair was wet from her shower and she was trying to comb out the knots. He couldn't help but notice the way the shirt rose every time she did, exposing a little bit more of her curvy leg. He might have just put the twins to bed and felt exhausted himself, but he could feel his libido stirring. Not that it surprised him; he always seemed to be turned on by her.
"Yes, I think they were worried that if they didn't, we might not leave the room tomorrow." Klaus replied.
"I don't know where they got that idea," Caroline laughed as she plopped down next to him on the bed. She leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss, before she settled in to lie next to him. He slid down so that he lay on his back, with Caroline spooned next to him, her arm draped over his chest. "I feel like I'm going to explode."
"Well, we did indulge in quite a bit of ice cream." Klaus remarked with a chuckle.
"It wasn't the ice cream that was the problem, it was the stuff mixed into it." She explained. After they had eaten their meals, the twins had begged for an ice cream sundae and the waitress had suggested that since there was four of them, they should get the largest sundae they had to split. They thought it was a good idea, and ordered one, but Caroline quickly realized their mistake when the waitress called out an order for 'The Kitchen Sink'.
To say what was delivered to them was a sundae was like saying that the Grand Canyon was just a canyon. The sundae had eight scoops of ice cream, maraschino cherries, hot fudge, angel food cake, brownies, oreo cookies, pound cake, a banana, sprinkles, and candy bars. She was pretty she had never seen the kids' eyes as big as they were when the monstrosity was delivered, and she was positive her eyes mirrored theirs. The two of them had dived right in, while Klaus and Caroline took their time. The twins made quite a dent before giving up and leaving it to them to finish. Normally she would have given up when she was full but most of the restaurant had been watching them and she felt compelled to finish it. Thankfully, Klaus had helped.
"I must say that the sundae was a waste of a whole can of whipped cream, I can think of much more creative ways to consume it." Klaus teased.
"I bet you can." She replied as she brought up her hand and traced the dark lines of the runes on his chest until he halted her movements by capturing her hand in his.
"That tickles, love."
Caroline smiled at his admission as she sat up. "Oh, it does, huh?"
Before he could say anything, she moved quickly to straddle his lap and brought both of her hands down to rub up sluggishly but deliberately up his sides until they were once again on his tattoo. She ran her nails over the inked flesh teasingly before she brought them down and dug them into his sides. She hit just the right spot and Klaus jumped as laughter spilled out of his mouth. "Caroline, stop it."
"And if I don't?" She replied teasingly.
"Then I'll be forced to retaliate." Klaus replied before he did just as he threatened. Caroline squealed in laughter as they rolled around on the bed. The tickling reached a crescendo before they collapsed into each other's arms, breathing heavily from the laughter and exertion.
Klaus lay on top of her, looking down at her flushed face, for a minute before he leaned down and kissed her. His hand moved up to cup her face as he pressed his body into her. Caroline tilted her head to give him better access, enjoying the taste of him that she never got enough of. They kissed leisurely, as their hands wandered over each other.
When he broke away from her mouth, his lips left the lightest of kisses against her cheek, then down her jaw, before he repeated it on the other side of her face. He found the hypersensitive spot behind her right ear, teasing the area slightly before he ran his tongue down the curve of her neck until he reached her collarbone that was accessible where his shirt had slid down. Caroline was already wriggling beneath him, as he ran his hands down to the hem of his shirt and pulled it off her body leaving her in just a pair of panties. He tossed it to the floor before replacing his mouth where he had left off.
Klaus made his way down the upper swells of her chest, loving the warm, sweet taste of her skin. Caroline gasped and arched towards his mouth, but he mischievously retracted his lips until she relaxed back onto the bed. Then little by little, using only his lips, he took gentle nipping bites of the soft flesh, over and over.
Caroline shivered when Klaus captured one of her nipples between his lips and pulled it fully into the warmth of his mouth. He teased the tight bud with the flat of his tongue before he switched to the other breast. He alternated between breasts, pulling at one with his mouth while rolling the taut nipple of the other between his fingers.
Caroline withered against his mouth, loving the feel of him but decided it was time to make him squirm. She placed her hands on his broad shoulders and pushed him back, flipping them over so that she straddled him again.
She leaned forward, running the tip of her tongue across his lips before kissing them once more. She used her fingertips to trace the lines of muscle in his shoulders, his arms, and his chest the followed the same path with her lips and tongue. She kissed his abs, loving the way his muscles tensed beneath her lips.
Pleasure was felt throughout his body as Caroline explored; her hair tickling his flesh and her hands and mouth igniting his arousal even more. Her small hands gripped the waistband of his boxers before she pulled them over his hips and down his legs until they were off. She wrapped her hand around his length, stroking him slowly as she returned her mouth to his stomach and drifted lower.
Her lips brushed over the tip of his erection briefly, before he felt her tongue running down the length of him, massaging the thick pulsing vein, causing him to groan slightly. The groan turned into a full on moan when he felt her warm wet mouth take him fully inside. Her lips were tight and demanding around his hard flesh, her tongue swirling around the head. One of her hands rested on his hip, the other one continued to stroke what her mouth could take in. She started moving her head up and down on him, her mouth full of his flesh while she sucked his cock.
As good as her mouth felt on him; he wanted to be inside her more. He weaved his hands into her hair and tugged lightly on it to get her attention. At Klaus's tugging, Caroline decided to stop teasing him and crawled back up his body. She was barely face to face when him when he flipped them over. Her back had barely hit the bed when he entered her, feeling every slick bit of her surround him as her body accepted his.
Caroline curled her hands loosely around Klaus's shoulders and his arms moved beneath their hips before he directed his gaze into her eyes as he slowly began to move. He slid in and out of her, as she rose to meet him, back and forth as flesh rubbed against flesh. Gradually the pace began to accelerate, movements becoming more vigorous, as passion flared.
As she felt the desire begin to pool inside her, Caroline's eyes closed and she arched towards him. It caused him to change his angle just slightly, hitting the perfect spot inside her, and she felt her orgasm pulse through her.
Klaus held back, wanting to see her face as release overwhelmed her. She was so beautiful and passionate, his body was screaming for release at the sight of her, but as she tightened around him he kept thrusting, drawing out her pleasure for as long as he could. He finally gave in and let go, jerking as he poured himself into her, the pleasure just as intense if not more so than any time before. They both kept moving as small aftershocks ran through them, gasping breaths washing over each other.
After their bodies calmed down, Klaus rolled off of her. He retrieved their clothes, pulling on his boxers before handing her his shirt. When she took the clothes, he laid down next to her on his side to watch her dress, his eyes feeling heavy.
Caroline dragged her hair out of the collar of his T-shirt and turned towards him, surprised to find his eyes closed. She could see his chest moving steadily and knew he was already fast asleep. Unable to resist, she ran her finger through a few of his messy curls before bringing them down along his jaw, caressing it softly before giving him a soft kiss. "Sweet dreams, Klaus."
Well what did you think about their first day? I promise I will not write a part for every day that they are there, I could believe me I have enough material due to my many trips to Disney but I think you guys would probably get bored.
