Epilogue 1

Honeymoon

Unable to contain the energy flowing through her, Caroline felt like she was going to burst with excitement as the cab made its way through the streets of London. They had been traveling all day, and she should have been more exhausted than she was, but she also felt like a bundle of energy. In an attempt to ground herself, she played with her wedding ring, turning it around her finger as the new and exciting scenery passed by the window.

Klaus had offered to take her anywhere she desired, Paris, Rome, or Tahiti if she wanted something tropical, even a tour of several cities if she couldn't decide on one; but she had chosen England. They had traveled to her hometown more than once, and she wanted to see where he had been born. Not to mention she was dying to see the places she'd only ever seen on TV or heard about from each of the Mikaelsons, including Lexi and Henry.

The twins hadn't been particularly happy that they weren't going on their parents' honeymoon with them. After all they loved to travel, and had been doing it since they were little; so why shouldn't they go? As innocently as possible/they could manage, Klaus and Caroline explained to the twins why they couldn't come along. They still hadn't been happy, but their hurt feelings had been soothed by the fact that they were able to stay with their aunts and uncles who they knew would spoil them.

Though it had been less than a day since they had dropped off the twins and said their goodbyes, Caroline found herself missing them. It was odd not hearing their familiar chatter, or looking around to keep an eye on them when they had moved through the airport; still, she was also enjoying having time just herself and her husband. Speak of the devil…

"Here we are, love." Klaus announced as the taxi stopped and the door was opened for them. A bellman offered her his hand, which she took as she climbed from the vehicle. As she did, her eyes darted everywhere as she tried to take in everything around her. While she planned the wedding, Klaus had handled most of the details of the honeymoon once she chose the destination; after all, if you have a homegrown tour guide, why not take advantage of it?

His first decision was where they would be staying, and that was the Savoy. A beautiful five star luxury hotel on the banks of the Thames River, it had hosted famous guests like Sir Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Christian Dior, Maria Callas, Claude Monet and Katherine Hepburn and Caroline couldn't believe that she was staying there. As they entered the lavish lobby through the wooden turnstile doors, it was as if she had stepped back in time. Caroline felt a bit out of place, but held her head high so not too much like a wide-eyed tourist as they went to check in. While he busied himself with their reservation, Caroline sent a few texts to let various people know they had arrived safely before putting it away and following him to the elevator.

In no time, they were several floors above the lobby, making their way into their room and Caroline didn't have to restrain her awe as she looked around the entrance. It wasn't a room, it wasn't even what she would call a suite, it looked more like an apartment or what they would call a flat. It was huge! The pictures she had seen had not done it justice. "Klaus, this place is amazing. And I'm pretty sure that it's bigger than Bonnie's first apartment."

They were standing in the foyer, and from there she could see what was called the sitting room here as well as the bedroom, all of it decorated in a rich fabrics and a mix of rich and muted colors. She explored the suite as Klaus dealt the bellhop and the luggage. When she entered the en-suite bath also decorated with marble, she held in the squeal of delight that she felt when her eyes landed on the large claw foot tub, exactly where it should be.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her from behind and her back hit his firm chest, just before his lips planted a kiss on her hair. "Tired, sweetheart?"

"Yes and no." Caroline answered. "Tired from traveling but the excitement has me too buzzed to think about sleeping."

"Well, there's something we can do that might relax you," Klaus suggested, and though Caroline couldn't see his face, she knew there was a smirk across his handsome face. Something she confirmed when she turned around to face him.

"Oh, and what would that be hmmm?" She asked in a teasing voice. "A walk? Some food? I don't think we are in any state to go out."

"Well then maybe we should freshen up." Klaus replied, the look in his eyes telling her that he wasn't just meaning a quick splash of water on their faces. Something he confirmed when he bent down and began to pepper kisses along her neck, just as his hands moved along the waistband of her jeans, sliding along them until he reached the small of her back. Once there, the hands moved up, conveniently taking her top with it, only pausing to unclasp her bra before pulling the material over her head. "I think a shower would be just the thing to relax us."

Caroline quirked her eyebrow at him before saying, "Why do I not believe you that you plan to just take a shower?"

"Why Mrs. Mikaelson, such a dirty mind you have there." Klaus responded, chuckling a little as tried to look offended.

"Oh, yeah, it's all me. Like I don't know how dozens of showers with you have ended." She stated.

"With you naked in my arms, too spent from the orgasms I've given you?" Klaus answered. "I don't see how that would be a deterrent from you showering with me?"

Caroline couldn't help but blush at Klaus' bold statement. Even after being with him for the last couple of years, he could still do that to her, though in her defense she was pretty sure that it was partly due to deep timbre of his voice when he said it. Before she could respond though, they were interrupted by the sound of Klaus' phone going off.

At first, Klaus paid it no attention and after a moment, it stopped, only to start up again almost instantaneously. "Klaus…"

"Ignore it." He said as he began to kiss her again but she pulled back. "We can't. What if something is wrong with the twins?"

Klaus sighed, knowing she was right; especially considering it was Elijah's ringtone. He pulled away from her, before answering the blasted device. "Hello dear brother…"

Caroline listened to Klaus' side of the conversation, and watched as his body tensed as the conversation soon became an argument that ended up with her husband agreeing to whatever Elijah had said. "What's wrong?"

"Apparently, the owner of an estate here in London that our company has been trying to get its hands on for the last few years contacted Elijah and wants to speak about selling." Klaus informed her. "And my brother in his infinite wisdom thought it would be best if I go and talk to the woman, since I am so close."

"But we just got here…" Caroline reasoned. "When does he want you go to go?"

"Now."

"Now?" She repeated. "Now, now?"

"Yes, love. Eleanor, the woman I am to meet with, is interested at the moment but in the past has dangled the preverbal carrot in front of us before only to change her mind before we were able to meet with her. Unbeknownst to me, negotiations had started again and Elijah feels that now would be the time to strike." Klaus explained. He watched as his words soaked in for Caroline before he continued. "Believe me love, I would much rather stay here and continue what we were doing."

"I don't doubt that but it looks like I'll be going solo in the shower." Caroline chuckled as he growled a little under his breath. "So go, go be your charming self and talk that woman out of her estate. I'll be fine. I'll just get us unpacked, maybe order some room service."

"I'm sorry, Caroline." Klaus apologized. "This was not how I wanted to spend out honeymoon."

"Klaus, don't apologize. Really, don't feel remotely guilty." Caroline instructed before leaning forward.

Klaus savored the kiss she gave him before he reluctantly withdrew. After a few minutes of getting ready, he was out the door and Caroline was on her own.

/

Grumbling under his breath a couple of hours later, Klaus reentered the suite with a frown on his face and tension throughout his body. Eleanor might have seemed to be willing to sell parts of her estate when she had spoken to Elijah, but Klaus had found the woman of a different mind when he arrived. She had been welcoming and hospitable, inviting him inside but as they began talking business, that demeanor melted away and before long, Klaus had realized that his trip had been pointless.

He had lost time on his honeymoon and had nothing to show for it, and he had made sure to let Elijah know his thoughts on the matter. It had made him feel a bit better, at least until he had stepped into the hotel's lobby and the concierge had flagged him down. The man had wanted to speak to him about some of the services he had arranged previously, which Klaus could appreciate but his timing left something to be desired since it had caused further delay even if was only by ten minutes or so.

As Klaus walked through the foyer, he noticed that the rooms were very dim. The sun had begun to set outside the windows, which were part of reason for the lighting, and only minimal lights had been turned on but it was enough to allow him to see that a small dining table had been set up in the sitting room, with everything that they might need for a meal excluding actual food. However there was no sign of Caroline, which made him wonder if she hadn't changed her mind earlier and gone out without him. "Caroline?"

"In here." Her voice rang out clearly from the other side of the bathroom door, which he noticed was cracked open a little.

Klaus was mildly confused, Caroline couldn't be showering still, no one took that long to get ready, not even Rebekah. When he reached the door, he pushed it the rest of the way open, not expecting the erotic sight that he was met with.

In the large claw foot bathtub, submerged in bubbles up, her hair pinned on top of her head, was Caroline, a sultry smile on her face as she looked at him. "Welcome back, I've been waiting for you."

"Well I hope you haven't been waiting the whole time in that tub, I'd hate to see that lovely skin of yours being all wrinkly." Klaus replied as he moved farther into the bathroom. As he drew closer, he saw that she had not only been waiting for him but planning for his return. On a small table behind the tub sat a bucket of ice with a bottle chilling, next to two flutes full of pink bubbly champagne and a plate of what looked like strawberries as well as a couple of bottles of what he thought to be soap or oil.

"Why don't you get out of those clothes and come find out?" Caroline invited as she reclined back, exposing more of her body as the bubbles slid down, almost completely exposing her breasts to him. He lifted his gaze from them to her eyes and saw a mixture of playfulness, desire and even a little bit of challenge.

"What are you up to Caroline?"

"Can't I just want to take a bath with you?" She asked with a smile. She held it for a moment before rolling her eyes at him. "I just thought it would be nice if we could have a nice bath, we really haven't had a moment to breathe in weeks, months even. And I have dinner coming later."

Klaus only nodded to her before pulling his shirt over his head, tossing it to the floor then moved his hands to his belt. Caroline watched him as he continued to remove his clothes; the hunger in her eyes evident causing them to be almost black by the time he was standing in front of her, completely nude. It only took him two steps before he was at the edge of the tub, motioning for her to slide forward.

"Nuh uh, your seat is right here." Caroline declared as she pointed in front of her, spreading her legs to make room for him to sit.

Acquiescing to her command, Klaus swung his leg over the edge and climbed in, moving into the spot she had made for him. The water was quite warm, almost hot but still comfortable. As soon as he was settled, a flute of champagne appeared in front of him. He immediately took it from her, and drank a hearty sip, feeling the bubbles flow over his tongue at the same time he felt one of Caroline's warm wet hands run up along his back, over his shoulders. As she began to pull him back closer to her, she felt him release a deep breath.

Klaus could feel the aggravation and tension in his body start to melt away thanks to the warm water and the feeling of Caroline's soft body underneath him and her hand tracing his chest. "So, is my skin too wrinkly for you?"

"Never, it's as smooth and perfect as always." Klaus replied as he caught the hand in front of him, and pulled it to his lips, kissing the inside of her wrist.

Caroline tried to suppress the shiver that ran through her at the feeling of his lips but was unsuccessful. Instead, she tried to tame her libido a little by focusing on the point of this bath. Of course, it didn't help when he dropped his hands into the water and began to stroke her legs. She drained the rest of her flute before discarding it on the table, pouring some oil onto her hands before she returned them to his broad back and shoulders. "You are so tense; I mean I know things have been crazy but your muscles are a mess."

"That would be bloody Elijah's fault, sending me on a pointless quest." Klaus groaned as she hit a particular sensitive spot.

"What happened?" Caroline asked as she began to work the area between his shoulder blades where she felt the most tension.

"It was all a bloody mess and a waste of time." He groaned.

"Well it's done and over now." She stated before reaching over to grab a towel and wipe the soap from her hands so that she could pour herself some more champagne. She was eyeing the strawberries as she added. "I know I will be grateful for his help getting you out of the room for a few hours, while I set this up."

As the words slipped through her lips, several things fell into place for Klaus. Such as why Elijah had been so insistent that he had to meet Eleanor today, how his brother had said no one else could do it and why Caroline was so forgiving about him leaving despite the fact that they had only just arrived. His wife had pulled out her devious side and set him up. He turned to face her but as he opened his mouth, Caroline shoved a strawberry between his lips to stop him.

Caroline didn't miss Klaus' eyebrows furrowing at her in both confusion and annoyance at her actions but she wanted to make sure she could speak first. However, just as she opened her mouth to explain, he must have bit into the strawberry because she noticed a few drops of strawberry juice trickling out of his mouth and down his chin. The sight of the sweet juice caused her to forget what she had planned to say, leaving only questions of how that juice would taste.

As Klaus chewed the strawberry, reaching up to pull the end of the berry out of his mouth, he noticed Caroline's eyes fixating on his lips and the juice from the ripened berry that had escaped. Deciding to play with her, revenge so to speak for the elaborate goose chase she had organized with Elijah, he brought his thumb up to clear it away, dragging the pad of it slowly up his chin towards his lips. However before it could reach its destination, Caroline grabbed his hand and brought his thumb to her own plump lips, her tongue darting out for a small taste before she drew it into her mouth, lightly sucking as she did. The sensation went straight to his groin, causing him to start to harden and he couldn't stop the moan that spilled from him.

Hearing the small sound of pleasure, Caroline could tell her act had had the same effect on him as it did on her. He withdrew his thumb from her mouth, reversing his hold so his hand was now wrapped around her wrist before she could completely retreat. Using his hold as leverage, he pulled her closer to him so that he could wrapped his arms around her, trading his hold on her hand for one behind her shoulder blades and putting the other hand behind her waist, pulling her flush against his body.

Caroline whimpered at the contact, as she snaked her arms around his neck, her firm breasts pressing into his chest but the whimper was silenced by his lips covering hers. His hands slid down her body to her ass, cupping her so that he lifted her up to straddle him. His wife instantly wrapped her legs around his waist; kissing him with abandon and making desperate little noises that made his cock harden even more almost to the point of being painful.

She felt her foot hit something behind Klaus but Caroline was so lost in him, that she didn't pay it any attention. Instead, she focused on the feeling of his palms covering her breasts, squeezing them, his mouth moving to the tender skin of her neck. Her head fell back; her back arching into his touch.

Klaus' rough fingers clutched at the plump flesh in his hands, his thumbs sliding around the hard peaks as his tongue darted out to lick at the small drop of water that trailed down her neck, as his lips moved over the soft skin. Her sounds echoed in his ear, as he felt her hands move into his hair, over his shoulders. It was then that he noticed something amiss. "Caroline…"

"Klaus don't stop." Caroline breathed out.

"That is the last thing I want to do, however I don't believe the choice is mine to make. It seems that we are losing water." Klaus explained as he pulled back, looking down at the retreating water line. "And though I have no doubt that I will be able to keep you warm, it might be best for us to move into the bedroom."

Caroline groaned in disappointment, though she knew he was right. Without the water to keep them warm, the cool air would chill their wet bodies, causing any shivers they would have to be from the cold and not because of reasons that are more pleasurable. Moving her hands off him to the sides of the tub, she hoisted herself up into a standing position and reached for the nearby towels. She handed one to Klaus before beginning to towel herself off as quickly as she could, wanting to get back into Klaus' embrace.

After climbing out of the tub, Klaus took Caroline's hand and helped her step out. She smiled at him in thanks before turning and reaching for a nearby robe. But before her hand reached it, she felt Klaus come up behind her, his hard chest against her back and his hand reach around her to stop her.

"No need for that love," Klaus declared as he brought his lips down to kiss along her shoulder. "I would just be ripping it off of you in a minute anyways."

Caroline moaned a little at his words and she turned around to face him, capturing his rosy red lips with hers. As he returned the kiss, his hands moved over her hips, over her behind. His hands tightened on her ass before he picked her up, her legs instantly moved around him. Moving with care, not wanting to risk dropping her, Klaus made his way out of the bathroom and into the bedroom however, she was making it quite difficult as she broke her lips away from his and kissed along his jaw, nipping at his ear. Unable to wait, he pressed her up against the nearest wall, his hands pushing her up higher on his body so his head could dip to kiss her neck, down her collarbone before his tongue moving out to taste the crease between her breasts causing her to moan in appreciations. She arched her back, just as his head moved to the right, and his lips captured a hard nipple.

She groaned as his lips sucked at the hard peak, his tongue twirling over it. While one of his arms stayed wrapped around her, keeping her in place, his other hand slid up her body to grasp her other breast. Her hips moved against him, trying to get some friction, and she wasn't disappointed. They both groaned as her body ground against him.

"Klaus…" Caroline gasped as his teeth nipped her in response.

The taste of her skin was slowly driving him mad. His mouth moved over to her other breast, sucking the flesh into his mouth, rewarded by the sounds of pleasure that came from her, and more movement of her hips against him. He felt her hands glide over his chest, and between them, his hips bucking against her, as her slender fingers grasped him.

"Caroline…" He moaned out as her fingers moved over him. Her hand squeezed his hard flesh, as his lips claimed her mouth once again. He pushed his hips up into her hand once but he couldn't take it anymore. Not wanting to take her against the wall, he pulled back away from her, letting her feet drop back to the ground, yet not breaking the connection of their lips.

As soon as she was on her feet, Caroline felt him maneuvering her around, pushing her backwards until she felt the bed against the back of her legs. She fell back, breaking the kiss as she felt the softness of the mattress against her back. He followed her down to the bed yet not to kiss her again. Instead, he moved lower, and nuzzled her stomach. His lips tickled her as he pressed light kisses over the skin, moving lower and lower. Her eyes closed as his hot breath moved over her, her hands moving into his hair.

Klaus could smell her arousal, her scent intoxicating him. He moved his hands up her left leg, picking it up and moving it over his shoulder. His tongue moved out and licked lightly at the crease between her leg and pelvis, and her hips bucked at him, her fingers tightening in his curls.

His other hand moved up to her, spreading her apart, his fingers gliding over the wet flesh, feeling her body shudder at his touch. His fingers glistened with her arousal, he moved them in slow circles over the hard bundle of nerves and her whole body shook. Klaus continued, his mouth leaning in, kissing and breathing warm air all over her sensitized skin.

By now, Caroline was moaning loudly, her hips jerking at every touch, every movement of his fingers, as his mouth moved around her teasing her. He knew where she wanted it, but he enjoyed teasing her. His fingers moved down lower, trailing over her, one entering her suddenly, and her hips jerked, taking it in, then another, her body moving against them, as he started to move them slowly in and out of her body. Her head rocked back and forth, as her body kept climbing higher and higher.

Unable to take much more of the teasing himself, Klaus had to taste her. His mouth moved in, take the hard nub into his mouth, sucking at it, and her hips jerked hard. His free hand moved to her hips, trying to keep her steady, as his tongue swirled around and over it, again and again, as his fingers continued to move inside of her until her body tensed around the digits of his hands, clamping tightly around them while whimpering his name.

Caroline felt as if her head was completely disconnected from her body, as she slowly started to float back down to earth. Her senses barely registered the feeling of his lips lightly kissing the skin of her hips, and his fingers moving slowly out of her, her mouth groaning in protest. She looked down and found his deep blue eyes full of desire staring up at her as she removed her leg from over his shoulder, a small smile forming on her lips.

Klaus saw his wife's devious smile but before he could even comprehend why, he found himself being pushed backwards, falling onto the end of the bed with Caroline lying over him, his wrists in her hands, her mouth on his, kissing him hard. He pulled his arms free from her loose grip, and wrapped them around her, pulling her body closer, as his tongue pushed into her mouth. Hearing her groan at the taste of herself on his lips, he rolled them over, grinding his hips against her.

Not willing to let him distract her, she moved her leg off to the side, her foot pushing of to roll him back over. This time he seemed to relent to her, instead he moved his hands to her hips, as her mouth moved back to his. Her tongue moving inside, making him groan, and push his hips up at her.

Caroline felt his hard length pressed between them, as her hands moved over his body. The urge, the ache inside between her legs was becoming desperate, but first she needed to do as he did to her. Her mouth trailed down the skin of his neck, her teeth lightly scraping it, her ears hearing his intake of breath. Her head moved lower, her tongue moving out, leaving wet trails down his chest, around his pecks, then down his abs.

His fingers just moved over bare back, over her neck, and into her soft hair, as his head tilted back and his eyes closed at the pleasure she was causing in him. Her breasts moved over his erection, and his hips moved up at her again, as her mouth continued it downward journey.

Her fingers encircled him once again before her thumb moved over the engorged head. Her eyes roamed over him, her tongue licking her lips at the sight of the drop of wetness at the tip. Her tongue flicked out, his hips bucked up at her, his fingers tightened in her hair, as she moaned from the taste of him. Her mouth took him, sucking, licking, before taking more of him in.

Her hands moved up over his chest, her nails lightly scratching at him, making him tense even more as her mouth lowered even further on him. She moved painfully slow, taking her time. She took him in, down to the base, and then slowly moved back off him, licking around him as she went, sucking at the tip, and then moving back down on him, this time faster. She continued on him, moving quicker, faster, sucking harder, listening to his sounds, and feeling his movements against her.

Klaus felt so close to the edge, and he was holding on tightly. "Caroline…"

However, she ignored him as she kept moving. With the last ounce of control he had, his hands moved under her arms, and pulled her from him in a quick motion, draping her body back over his, as his mouth claimed hers in a passionate kiss.

Caroline was surprised to find herself suddenly pulled up, with Klaus' lips pressed to hers, his cock now pressed against her hip when only moments before she had her lips wrapped around it. She spread her legs to straddle him, causing her warm wet center to press against his cock, which caused a growl to escape from him against her lips.

Her small hand slid down their bodies, taking him in her hand and bringing him to her entrance. His hands instantly moved to her hips, as she slid down onto him. His hands pulled her down firmly as his hips moved up into her, as he fully sunk into her. Their bodies stilled for an instant as the contact washed over them.

Caroline's head fell back at the feeling of her body stretched around him, filled deeply, her muscles holding him. Then slowly, she began to move her hips, needing more. She moved her hands to his muscled arms, bracing herself as her body moved, up and down, over him.

Klaus watched his beautiful wife as she moved over him; her hair wild and mouth open in pleasure. His hands moved with her hips, guiding her down onto him. Her head lulled backwards as she continued to move over him; faster, harder. His fingers could feel the muscles in her legs tensing, quivering. He moved his one hand down between them, his thumb moved between their bodies to her clit.

Her body arched as his thumb pressed against her, sending a thousand of bolts of pleasure through her body, while his cock plowed up into her until it became too much and she broke. Her body tensed while her hips moved of their own accord as she rode his body through the blinding white heat.

Klaus reached up to pull her down to him before rolling them back over. His body slammed into hers as he turned, and her body jerked at him. Her legs came up to wrap around him, but he was faster, instead he pushed them up and over his shoulders.

Caroline wasn't finished with her first orgasm yet she could already feel herself climbing once again. His body moved into her forcefully, thrusting deeply, before moving out, only to be gasping once again as he pounded back into her. Her hands wrapped around him, as his hands went to her shoulders, grasping her to him. Her lips found his, and his tongue moved back into her mouth, just as his cock filled her to the core again. Her fingers trailed over his sweaty back, her nails raking his skin.

His mouth moved along her jaw line, her neck, her shoulder, as his body kept moving. Trying to move as deep into her as he could. There was nothing but the feel of her body around him, the taste of her skin, and the smell of her, of sex in the air.

Caroline was at the edge, she was looking over it. Her hands grabbed hold of his shoulders again, trying to hang on, trying not to fall, but her body wanted to. She felt his hand at her face, and her eyes opened to look into his. The deep blue, wild, fierce, passionate eyes stared back at her, as her body started to shake, her muscles quivering.

Her whole world exploded around her again but this time he felt the explosion as ell. Their bodies clutched tightly to one another as their whole existence seemed to burst, and only the feelings of unbelievable amounts of pleasure was left.

Their bodies stilled against one another, her legs dropped from his shoulders, and his body collapsed over hers. They couldn't talk, couldn't move, as their bodies started to calm. They stayed like that for several minutes before he felt her hand move to caress his back. He turned to look at her, smirking a little as he did. "So should I expect to be sent on more wild goose chases during this trip? Because if so and they end like this, I am more than willing."

"Oh, I'm sure you are." Caroline replied. "But don't worry, for the rest of the trip I have you all to myself."

"Hmmn, I like the sound of that." Klaus said before leaning in for one more kiss.

Like it? Hate it? Have I lost my touch with smut?

Next part will be set farther in the future, and I promise it won't be as long before I update.
