CHAPTER 11
BABY BE MINE
This time when Caroline Forbes fluttered open her eyes she felt a delicious ache every where. Her body although a little exhausted but she felt satiated. She was lying or more accurately imprisoned by Klaus's magnificent virile was lying on his side facing her his leg anchoring her legs and his arms around her back. Caroline gazed at his mesmeric sleeping face. He looked at peace with himself in his sleep without the worry lines usually residing around his intense blue eyes. She shifted a little and still asleep he tautened his hold as if petrified to let go of her.
Caroline smiled and kissed his nose at first which caused him to twitch his nose. She giggled and then kissed his right cheek and he smiled in his sleep. She was having fun. Leaning closer she pressed a sensual open mouthed kiss below his ear and he groaned. She bit her lip and seductively traced his lips with her tongue and felt the evidence of his desire against her thigh. She felt domineering and wicked to realize the hold she had on him.
She then nipped at his lower lip lightly and he opened one eye playfully, in one fluid motion he had her under him and rasped, "Are you having fun at my expense sweetheart?" He began trailing baby kisses on her neck and Caroline feeling hot breathed, "Am I not allowed to?"
"Only if I can do this."He remarked moving his mouth lower and gently tugging on one dusky pink nipple. She arched her back in response and Klaus suckled hard on the tip. Caroline felt herself slipping back into the dangerous and nectarous desire he could easily awaken in her. Fisting one hand in the sheet and the other one in his curls on the back of his head she let herself fall and moaned his name. Hearing his name from those heavenly lips, from his one and only love Caroline, always staggered him.
He couldn't tether himself from coveting more. He languidly traced his hands on her satiny body and ultimately halting at her precious clit. He gazed into the passion brimming in her eyes for a second and grasping her velvety soft buttocks he pushed inside her. A desperate cry escaped from her lips and she felt intoxicated with the fiery pleasure rocketing through her. Intending to endow him with as much pleasure as he was giving her she leaned up a fraction to kiss his taut nipple and then sensually bit it between his teeth. He groaned her name and roughly started pumping inside her.
Caroline then splayed her hands over his lower back and raked her nails hard into his sinewy muscles. Klaus abandoned his sensibilities and relinquished himself to the heady pleasure. He chanted her name again and she leaned up again this time to suck lightly on his lower lip. She then tried to hook her legs over his buttocks but he stopped her with one hand and draped one sexy leg over his shoulder. This movement changed the angle and his arousal hit deeper inside. Suffused with the erotic frenzy she dug her nails harder into his rock hard muscles, her back arching like a bow, her leg draped over his shoulder she undulated beneath him like a live wire. Klaus kept on thrusting inside her like his life was on a line. Her hands roamed over his back kneading his muscles, her breath hot near his ear, her mouth kissing his lips and then licking his nipples and he capitulated into the ocean of ecstasy named Caroline. He couldn't bridle his burning hunger for her.
She whimpered his name again and he could sense that she was about to come. Yearning to prolong the torturous pleasure he slowed down a little and groaned, "Not yet. Not yet."
She began leisurely sliding her hand over his abdomen and kept moving it lower urging him to gift them with the bliss he was denying and awarding simultaneously by slowing his pace. Drowning deep into the carnal sanctuary she mindlessly begged, "Please I can't... stop... don't stop.. " She cruised her hand lower and her gentle touch spurred him on. He pinned her hand above her head and ran his calloused thumb over her velvety clit. Her passion intensified she felt as if she was going to explode.
His thumb and his arousal ignited her and she couldnt help but writh beneath him, move along with the rythm he was playing within her. Her unadulterated reaction her being wild at his touch aroused him and he quickened his pace. Riding together tormenting and pleasuring each other they achieved the pinnacle of their desire together. As their orgasms rippled through them they kissed each other and finally collapsed in each other's embrace.
Bringing her leg down from his shoulder he kissed the pulse at her ankle and it danced under those sensual lips.
He gently pulled out of her and rolled over carefully planting her atop him. Caroline shivered lightly and Klaus reached down to cover their naked sweaty bodies with a sheet. Caroline felt content her soul shattered by the overwhelming love and desire she possessed for him. Klaus tenderly kissed her head and wondered how was she able to have this potent effect on him. One minute they were jocosely teasing and the next both wild and wanton with the passion each had for the other.
Caroline rested her chin on his chest and shyly looking into his eyes remarked,"Thank you."
Klaus couldn't conceal his arrogant smirk and replied, "You're welcome love."
"You jerk I'm not thanking you for us... for you.. I mean you know."Caroline replied faking indignance.
He laughed and faking ignorance asked,"I'm sorry sweetheart I couldn't quite comprehend what is it you are grateful to me for. Care to cite it in clear detail."
"Now youre being dense on purpose."Caroline replied pouting. Klaus extremely adored her she was lying stark naked on him her blonde hair fanning around her magnificent face and the world's most cute pout adorning those sensuous lips.
"May be I am. But I want to hear you say it. I want to hear you say that we made love and you were wild for my touch." Klaus replied and pressed a light kiss on her pout.
"Ugh typical testosterone blockhead." Caroline rolling her eyes announced and tried to get up but he firmly secured her in place cincturing his arms over her sweet back and then rolled over. He passionately crushed his lips to hers and penetrated his sinful tongue inside her mouth. She started kissing him back with an ardor mirroring his. Once out of breath he pulled back and lay his forehead on hers looking back into her eyes with a slight troubled expression he tenderly whispered, "I didn't mean to upset you."
She caressed his cheek and kissed him again. Then said, "I wasn't I was just kidding. And I was thanking you for your every thoughtful and grand gesture."
Klaus smiled and answered,"It's been my pleasure love."
"And since you want me to say it I'll say it thank you for last night. It was...extraordinarily special." Caroline smiled and said.
Klaus kissed her and got up. He grabbed his jeans and put them on. Looking back at Caroline who was now sitting on the bed and was clutching onto the sheet he sighed," I should have made it more special, love."
Caroline laughed at his sullen expression and hugged his back. Pressing a kiss on his right scapula she placed her chin on his shoulder and said, "If we count all the times we did it last night and today morning I'd say it was special with an XL."
He held her palm and kissed it. Caroline knotted the sheet between her cleavage and then sat beside him. She then wound her right arm around his waist and rested her head against his chest and murmured, "As long as we are together it'll always be special. I don't need any trappings." Then tilting his chin to look into his eyes she smiled gleefully and piped, "Besides you already bribed me with a bracelet."
He looked at her all tousled from his intense love making. He wanted to say those three magical words and profess his love for her but at the time he didn't want to scare her away. He had finally gotten to be with her after all this time he didn't intend to lose her. So instead of declaring his love he kissed her. Caroline felt his discomfiture and got a little unnerved but soon her fears were alleviated by his kiss.
Pulling back she bit her lip and said, "I wanna see something."
"Love I think you've already seen it." Klaus replied with a hearty laugh.
"You're such a perv. I didn't mean it." Caroline shoved him replied a little testily. Then got up and added," I'm leaving."
"Not like that you aren't because if you do then I'll have to scratch out the eyes of whomever witnesses you like this all seductive and ravishing." Klaus mumbled against her neck and slowly untied the knot at her cleavage. He ran his hand under the sheet on her abdomen and then upwards towards her ribcage to try and distract her. Caroline felt her breath stop. Klaus licked the pulse at her neck. He was absolutely accurate in saying that she was wild for his touch. In fact wild was too mild a word for her desire for him. She was fanatical addicted and moonstruck.
She gazed into his smiling eyes and recognized the mischievous twinkle. Deciding to get even she trailed her hand over the bulge in his jeans. Klaus groaned losing consiousness of what he was doing and she got off of his lap instantly.
Klaus got up too he moved forward to catch her but she evaded him tightly clutching a hand over the sheet. He tucked his hands in his jeans and began stalking her step by step as she moved around the room. He leisurely walked towards her and said, "You can't run away from me love. Where ever you go I'll follow you be it the end of the universe or time."
Caroline was again shattered by his ardent declaration. In one swift move Klaus jerked on a part of sheet that was lying on the bed and had her tumbling into his arms. Encircling her in his embrace he gazed into those blue gems and whispered, "So you see I'm going to honor the vow I made to you I'll never let you go unless you want me to and when you'd even be close to thinking about leaving me I'll try with every breath every beat and every pulsating rhythm of my soul for you to be... " Klaus waited a moment then took the risk and running his knuckles on her cheek he said, "mine forever."
Caroline mesmerized by him said, "I'm yours forever."
They kissed each other hungrily letting their passion run rampant. Breaths mingling tongues mating lips nuzzling and arms snaking around each other bodies . The unsaid confession of true love being translated in their physical need. Few minutes later they broke the kiss and just held each other.
"See its special no matter what. And Klaus I'm hungry." She mumbled.
Klaus pressed a kiss on her head, a spontaneous laugh bubbled out of him and he remarked,"Still?"
Caroline glared at him and he kissed her again.
He leaned back and remarked, "Why don't you make us breakfast then?"
"What? Me?" She asked moving back. He moved over to his night stand picking up his cell phone he replied, "Yes."'
Caroline remarked," Uhh. Okay. But I'm borrowing your henley then." And took his Henley and wore it untieing the sheet. Klaus saw her change into his henley that ran mid-thigh and a sense of fierce possessiveness ran through him. Catching a glimpse of her heavenly body he felt he was getting turned on again. Klaus hugged her from behind and nuzzling her neck remarked,"You look ravishing in my shirt. I'm tempted to rip it off you but.."
"But you won't since you're a typical man and now want me to slave in front of a stove."Caroline interrupted him, turning around in his arms said sarcastically rolling her eyes and doing her signature twitchy nose thing.
He laughed at that and kissed her."Yeah but I'm your man."
Caroline held his face, a genuine sense of elation bursting through her she remarked smiling,"I like the sound of it."
He kissed her again and let her go as she turned around to head for the kitchen downstairs.
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKKKCKCKCKCKCKC
Caroline felt celebratory. An intense sense of jubilation overwhelming her. She was finally with Klaus, Klaus was with her, they were together. She couldn't believe it fate had finally decided to smile upon her. He had said he was her man. Although he didn't say he loved her but every single gesture every bitsy or grand thing he did for her was screaming proof of his love. She was content that they were together at last. Smiling to herself she fished through the cabinet to look for some kitchen utensils but she found none. She shouted, "Klaus I can't find any utensils."
He yelled back," There must be some. Check the third cabinet."
"Okay." She replied and bit her lip. She again felt joyous. Them interacting like a couple was making her insides go warm and fuzzy.
She found a single frying pan and spatula in the third upper most cabinet. She opened the fridge to look for something to cook and found two eggs, half a carton of milk and a carton of beer. She shook her head at his unhealthy diet and wondered this man needs a keeper. She made do with her meager resources and fried the eggs. Just as she was dishing out the eggs she heard a loud thud coming from the bedroom.
She instantly alarmed asked,"Klaus are you okay?"
He didn't reply so she turned around to head upstairs when she saw a guy fall at the back balcony of the fire escape. She let out a yelp. Then straying her hammering heart beat she peeked through the window to see it was Lucien. She made an expression at him that said what the hell what he doing here. He winked, blew an air kiss and descended the fire escape.
She immediately climbed upstairs and frantically knocked on the bedroom door after finding out it was locked.
"Klaus what is going on? Are you okay?" Then she put an ear to the door and heard a few shuffling sounds coming from inside.
He replied,"I'm fantastic love."
A thought struck her relating to Lucien, his guy friend's visit. She sheepishly asked,"Umm Klaus is everything okay with your.. stuff?"
A second later he opened the door with a whoosh and an adorable miffed expression on his face,"Nothing is wrong with my stuff. Nothing ever goes wrong with my stuff."
She cracked up at that and coiling her arms around his neck kissed him soundly. He instantly responded. Then pulling back she smiled seductively and trailing one finger down his still bare chest huskily breathed,"Well good I'd be super disappointed if anything were to go wrong."
Intense lust flared through him. She was a delightful surprise. She could make him feel like crazed horny teenager and a lunatic in love. But he was weirdly content with every feeling she aroused in his dead heart.
He hugged her closer and rubbed his nose lovingly against hers. She laughed at his cute gesture. Suddenly remembering she asked, What was Lucien doing here?"
Klaus bent his right elbow to scratch the back of his head and making a guilty expression pulled her into the room.
The next thing Caroline saw was that the room was scenically decorated with candles and flowers. The curtains were drawn so the room would have been pitch dark if it weren't for the candles placed all around the periphery of the room with rose petals sprinkled over the bed. It was absolutely breathtaking. She was enamored. She quickly caught on that he had done it all to make it special for her. Oh God she didn't know how to respond she turned around her emotions overwhelming her with tears in her eyes rushed into his arms. He felt on edge when he saw tears in her eyes. He returned her hug with a fierceness that surfaced only when she was in his arms, a possessiveness only she stired in him. Kissing the tears rolling down her cheek as if trying to imbibe her sorrow unmindful that it was her joy spilling from her eyes.
She knew she had to tell him that she was head over heels for him. Cradling his face in her hands still a bit teary eyed she said,"I love you, Klaus."
He was gobsmacked that she could love a degenerate like had sensed that she had feelings for him but love. He didn't know how to respond except kiss those lips he was crazy about. He kissed her hard unable to tether his burning need for her. Her confession left him shaken to his core.
He felt unworthy and blessed at the same time. She was pure perfection. Her ability to love devastated his sinister soul. Running his hands beneath his henley which his Caroline was wearing... his Caroline yes she was his and he would love her and worship her with his last breath, he lifted her up squishing her velvety breasts against his brawny chest. Her confession kept running through his mind fueling his ardor. She wound her legs around his waist and returned his kiss.
He caressed his tongue with hers and both moaned simultaneously. Breaking the kiss Klaus began sucking at the hollow of her sexy neck. She pulled him closer. Still kissing he walked over to bed and dumped her amidst the rose petals. Pushing her hair out of her face she laughed and her laughter added fire to his already ignited loins. Bending over he pulled one leg and kissed her ankle. Languidly ascending he showered light wet kisses on her calf her knee and found a sweet spot over the back of her knee. He kissed the soft skin of her thighs and Caroline's breathing hitched.
Klaus rode her henley up a little and dipped his tongue in her belly button when the fire alarm went on and water began showering on them. Klaus rested his head on her tummy for a few minutes. Caroline ran a hand through his wet curls and both laughed. Sitting up straight he looked around to locate the source and found one candle placed close to the fire alarm. He removed it. Then sat on the bed. Both were drenched with water. He lifted her in his lap pushing her wet blonde tresses aside from her face he lightly bit her earlobe and rasped,"You know this thing our thing actually has its merits. I can now lick every little drop of water from your delicious body. So where were we?"
Caroline shivered and with a naughty twinkle in her eyes biting his lower lip in turn replied ,"I'm wondering will you do that every other time we get soaked in future."
His eyes filled with passion he gazed at her for a few seconds and kissed her cradling her face like a flower. His touch gentle, his kiss passionate arousing a mixture love and desire through her. She touched her tongue to his and each tasted their lust for the other. Klaus massaged his tongue inside her mouth craving for more of her sweetness. He ran his hands under her wet shirt and found her breasts. Encircling his hands around her rib cage he rubbed her nipples with his thumbs and she moaned in his mouth. Still in his lap she caressed his sculpted chest with her fingertips.
She felt a new sensation of belonging and possessiveness simultaneously. He was hers all of his generous heart and soul, the dark inside him perfectly allied with his light and goodness, everything was hers now. He then kissed her nipples over the wet shirt grazing those sensitive tips and creating a luscious friction. Caroline kneaded the muscles of his abdomen and he groaned against her breasts. He took off her wet henley and threw it aimlessly. Everytime he saw her bare bewitching body he felt paralysed and aroused. He lowered her on the bed and she extended her arms as if inviting him for an embrace. He hurriedly went into her soft arms.
Leaning down he kissed the valley between her breasts then traced slow open mouthed kissed down her abdomen. Caroline arched her back in response. Moving lower he found the sweet spot behind her knee again. Kissing her thighs again he rubbed her clit with his thumb. She felt suffused with pleasure. His hands bringing her a welcoming discarded his jeans and gently sliding his finger between her satin folds with his thumb still lavishing her clit he augmented her pleasure. Her moans mixed with his name uttered from her pretty lips were music to his ears. Her uninhibited response was his aphrodisiac. He placed another finger inside her increasing his pace and then began sliding both fingers inside her roughly and swiftly. Her moans becoming louder and she bit her knuckles. Going crazed she brought his face closer and kissed him hard. He could feel her coming her wetness pouring against his fingers. Just when her orgasm was about to roll through her he removed his fingers and thrusted inside her. She screamed his name and he groaned in a matching volume.
He started pushing and pulling in and out of her. Her previous unquenched orgasm was once again mounting towards its pinnacle. The feel of their bodies brushing and rubbing against each other was becoming Klaus's addiction. She had told him she loved him. He was in heaven Caroline loved him and she was undulating in his arms. He kept pistoning and again started rubbing her clit with his thumb. She reached her hand lower between their bodies and massaged his lower abdomen. He growled and leaning down tugged harshly on her nipple. Writhing uncontrollably beneath him she felt like she was about to combust. Klaus kept on moving inside her rolling his hips. He could feel both of them were about to come so he grasped her buttocks and wound her legs around his waist.
He stopped and she whimpered at the loss. He harshly whispered,"Caroline look at me." She did and saw what delaying their pleasure was costing him. His body taut the veins at his neck popping out he looked deep down in her eyes and whispered,"I love you." She unable to answer rolled her hips and he couldn't keep his passion reigned anymore. He started pulsating inside her at a frenzied pace. With each thrust his voice gaining volume until he yelled, "I love you." Until both reached their blissful destination.
...!...!...!
They lay together with their legs tangled. Carolines head resting on his chest his heartbeat erratic a few minutes ago now steady beneath her ear. His arms snaked around her. His fingers drawing random patterns on her back. He kissed the top of her head. She smiled and placed a light kiss on her beloved's heartbeat. He wanted to stay like that till eternity.
Caroline knew he had confessed his love although he had said it influenced by his passion but knowing Klaus she was also privy to his resident insecurities. She could discern that he would never confess something of this import until he meant every word. She was aware that it wasn't facile thing. It was extremely challenging for him to profess it since it equaled making himself vulnerable. She looked up kissed him and whispered," I love you." Klaus kissed her back ardently and whispered,"I love you with my heart, worship you with my body and soul."
Caroline shifted and placed her chin on his chest and laughingly added,"So you are in love with me and I was actually launching a mission to make you fall for me."
Klaus at first was astonished then chortled at her confession.
"I'm serious. I had this whole six week plan to make you love me."
"Oh. And what did it entail?" Klaus asked with a goofy smile.
"Ok. Week one was about me getting all physical with you."
"Really?I'm loving this plan already." Klaus whispered with a devilish smirk then cupping her buttocks under the sheet he bit her earlobe. She shivered in response and he pressed a sweet kiss on her lips.
"Not like that. But like tucking an arm in arm or like holding hands."
"Ahan. What happens in week two?" He asked and pressed another sweet kiss this time beneath her right jaw.
Caroline mirrored his gesture kissing him she added, "Week two was supposed to be you taking me out to see all the recreational sites in Nola. And Katherine was of the view that I should use week two to show more cleavage."
"Suddenly I feel myself developing a profound sense of respect for the Petrova girl." Klaus remarked with evident mischievousness.
She chuckled in response. And he asked her to proceed.
"Week three was supposed to be romantic moonlit walks and candlelit dinners." Caroline added.
"You want that?" Klaus asked tracing his finger on her back.
She looked up in his eyes and solemnly said,"I just want you."
"Caroline but... "
She kissed him and said,"Don't start with making it more special okay. It can only be special and perfect with you being with me. Things don't matter. And that plan was only to get you to fall in love with me. It wasn't about gifts or dates or anything else. It was about you, you arrogant goof. For me it was just about you."
Klaus kissed her hard, passion ruling his response to her again. Crushing her closer he kept nuzzling her lips wanting to show her what she meant to him.
Moving back a little he said,"I absolutely adore your plan. But love you didn't need one.I've been in love with you since forever."
"I don't know when I fell for you but I know I'll be in love with you forever." Caroline replied tracing his jawline with her fingers.
"What about the remaining weeks?"
"Let's say by week three if you had shown any interest in me I was then planning to tell you about my past in week four... " Klaus interrupted, "Its okay love you don't have to talk about it.. "
"Im fine week five was you telling me about your past. And week six was... "
"What?" Klaus asked when she became quite.
"I first want you know that about your past I don't want you to feel that you are obligated to tell me since we... you know we made love. I only want you to tell me because I want you to unburden yourself. Because I would love it if you were able to trust me and share you problems with me."
Klaus was once again dumbfounded at the abundance of her love and magnanimity. He hugged her then brought her wrist to his lips and kissed the pulse. He replied,"It's not about trust its more about fear."
"Fear of what?"
"Of losing you?"
"You won't. There's nothing you could do that could make me hate you."
Klaus felt nervy at her words and the ease and swiftness with which she uttered them. He got up. Then hooked on his jeans he went to stand in front of the window as if gazing outside but the curtains were drawn and the room was still only illuminated by candles. Caroline gingerly sat up. She got disconcerted at him pulling back. She reached over grabbed his henley and wore it.
She hesitantly touched his shoulder. He turned around gently cradling her in his arms he said,"I'll tell you everything love but not today. Today I just want to love you and forget about all my past grievances."
"Okay." She replied in a tone betraying disappointment.
He tipped her chin up and said,"Dont be upset, love. I'm more than just a victim. I have been and still am the oppressor too. And I just don't want to ruin this moment."
"Fine but I'm not gonna tell you about week six either." Caroline replied twitching her nose.
He kissed her nose and said,"Is that a challenge?"
"More like a condition." She giggled.
"We'll see then. By the way what happened to our breakfast?" Hugging her closer.
"I was gonna bring it up before I got distracted by your stuff." Caroline said feeling content to be in his arms and both of them shared a laugh.
KCKCKCKCKKCKKCKCKCKC
An hour later they were sitting in the kitchen eating the eggs Caroline had made. He was dressed in blue jeans and an off white henley and was looking spectacular. She was sitting in front of him on a stool facing the kitchen island adorned in his black henley, a pair of red boxers and the bracelet he had gifted her resting on her ivory toned left arm and was looking stunning.
Putting down her coffee mug she all of a sudden recalled that she hadn't told Bonnie where she was."Oh gosh I forgot to text Bonnie that I was coming to meet you." Saying that she rushed over to grab her phone from her purse she had put on the on the kitchen counter earlier.
"Love. I already told Kol that you were at my apartment and advised him to inform Bonnie about your whereabouts."
"What? When?"
"Last night."
Caroline smiled at yet another thoughtful gesture on his part. Walking back to him where he was still sitting, with her cell phone in her hand she kissed his cheek. But the next moment her smile mutated into distress on her noticed her sombre expression and getting up asked, " Whats wrong love?"
"Um nothing. It's okay. It's just Katherine left me like a dozen messages and calls. I'm just... I don't know if I want to read her texts or not."
"I heard what happened between you two. I was actually tempted teach her a lesson but I knew she was your friend so I refrained from doing anything at all."
"Yeah well. A friend wouldn't have jumped to conclusions without letting me explain my side first. She believed those bitches over me and accused me of cheating on Elijah with you, which I might add is the most absurd thing in the world cuz me and Elijah didn't even kiss. It was one lame date which could win the trophy for snooze fest 2015. And you know what she also accused me off whoring off my body to both of you in exchange for favours when she knew from the beginning that I didn't even want to be a part of this Academy." Caroline ranted suddenly getting purple at seeing her messages. After a short pause she added,"I'm sorry i shouldn't have ranted at you. I just am still not over what she did."
Klaus took her in his arms and said," I'm off topic here but you look wondrous when you're angry sweetheart."
Her wrath immediately transitioned in to laughter which rolled off her lips and infected Klaus too. She knew he was trying to calm her down and she wouldn't deny that he was indeed victorious . "I know what you're doing Klaus Mikealson." She said looking in his dreamy eyes. "What am I doing Caroline Forbes?"
"You're trying to calm me down. But I just don't want to talk to her or see her right now."
"Then tell her it's over. I mean why drag this tell her you don't need her anymore."
At his suggestion she moved out of his arms, walked a few steps and running hands through her hair she sighed," Klaus... it's just. It's not over. I'm just very hurt at what she did. But..."
"But it's not over. You still care for the girl who slandered you." Klaus slowly worded, surprise at her magnanimity, toning his voice.
"Yes I still care about her. I mean she was there for me when nobody was. She literally took me under her wing. And I maybe obligated to her but my care for her has nothing to do with obligation. And Klaus it's not that I don't need her anymore because the way you are putting it sounds like I was using her which I wasn't. And to be truthful I do need her in many irreplaceable ways but in terms of friendship and belonging. And I just don't want to forgive her before knowing is she still the same person whom I began to love and care about."
"You just contradicted yourself love. I thought she wasn't your friend." Klaus commented with a knowing smirk. He was privy to the fact that Caroline was having trouble dealing with her problems related to Katherine. He was just trying to help her figure out how she wanted to deal with her squabble with Katherine.
"You're one cunning man." She said standing close to him and wounding her arms around his neck. "Thank you for helping me realize how I wanted to deal with this whole thing."
Putting his hands on her tiny waist he brought her full flush against him and whispered,"You are always welcome my love."
"Oh and since we are talking about resolving things I need to tell you about something extremely important." Caroline said.
"Okay love. What do you want to talk about?" Klaus asked coiling one golden curl around his forefinger.
"But first just promise me you won't get angry or you won't doubt my motives." Caroline asked moving over to sit at the stool.
"Okay. I won't." Klaus said but next instant his cell phone rang and he saw that Elijah was calling him.
"Love. I'd think I'd better take this. Elijah has been nettling me for the past week." He said and went out of the kitchen to take the call.
A few minutes later Klaus returned with a nasty expression on his face. Caroline could clearly see he was livid. Clenching his teeth he bit out,"You took money from Elijah."
"No. It's not like that. It's our sponsorship for the Annual Selection Event."
"And what exactly does this sponsorship mean?"
"Klaus please don't be angry. It's not just money okay it's a tremendous opportunity to further our careers."
"So you went behind my back to further your career?"
"Now your misinterpreting my intentions on purpose."
"I'm not misinterpreting anything love. Elijah is the last person I'd take anything from. I'm not a fool. I can see he offered you money for the event and you took you wanted to take money you could have without involving me. You shouldn't have made that decision for me." Klaus spat and stormed out of the kitchen.
Caroline followed him and asked,"Klaus wait. Please just let me explain."
But he just stopped for a moment and before she could continue he stormed out banging his apartment door shut in his wake. Caroline was numb for a moment until a few moments later sadness began seeping in her heart.
KCKCKCKCKCKKCKCKCKCKC
After waiting hours for Klaus to return Caroline finally decided to return to Bonnie's apartment. Bonnie opened the door fully intending to tease Caroline about spending last night with Klaus but soon forgot about it when she saw her long face.
"Hey." Bonnie greeted.
"Hey." Caroline replied with a dim voice.
"What happened?" Bonnie asked.
"Nothing." She said and slumped on the living room couch.
"Care you know you can tell me right." Bonnie remarked sitting beside her.
"I know. We got into a fight."
"What? I thought you guys were down and dirty." Bonnie remarked when Caroline made a disgusted expression at her words she added,"Kol's words not mine."
"Kol the creep never ceases to amaze. Sorry I mean i know you guys are dating." Caroline said.
Bonnie gave out a little laugh and replied,"It's okay. I mean he can be a little creepy sometimes but he is also super caring and romantic and God he is so great in bed."
"And I can see his creepiness is rubbing off on you." Caroline sarcastically added.
"Haha. Anywho we were talking about your Mikealson not mine."
"Seriously. He is so not my Mikealson." Caroline said getting miffed and getting up."You know right this instant I don't even want to see his smug moody face. He is all about big gestures and romantic shenanigans and grand avowals but the moment I try to do something decent for him he gets angry and storms out. I mean am i not allowed to do something thoughtful for him. He says he loves me but gets all boiled up at the fact that I did something nice for him."
Caroline vented pacing in front of Bonnie who was still sitting at the couch.
"Okay. What was the thoughtful thing you did?"
"You know he registered us for the Selection Event? "
"Yes."
"The night you guys dropped me of to Klaus's apartment we got into a fight."
"Yeah I know."
"So next morning when I left his apartment I ran into Elijah. He offered to drop me at the Boarding house. At first I declined but since he was insistent I gave in but instead of dropping me off he took me to Mikealson Mansion."
"It's such a cold place." At Caroline's surprise Bonnie added with a goofy smile,"I know about it cuz Kol took me there once."
"Please tell me it doesn't end with you guys having sex there."
Bonnie bit her lip and Caroline shuddered pretending to feel nauseous and then added,"Bonnie Bennett this is no time for your trip down the sexory lane. Focus okay. I'm mad at a Mikealson here."
" go on."
"So Elijah takes me there and asks me to sign a contract for sponsorship for both me and Klaus since we registered as partners. He said I could sign it for Klaus for the same reason I mean his signature wasn't required if I signed. I was reluctant because i didnt want to go behind his back but I also wanted to sign it because AADC themselves are offering both me and Klaus a sponsorship. And everybody knows how big a deal that is. I didn't sign it but later Elijah convinced me with the argument that I should if I want great things for Klaus's future. I'm not going to lie and say that I didn't want it for myself too because I did but I only signed it for Klaus... I signed it for him because I love him Bonnie and I want good things for him. And this morning I was about to tell him but before i could Elijah called and told him and he got angry at me. He didn't even give me a chance to explain myself and just stormed off."
Getting up Bonnie came over to hug Caroline. Then said,"He is a jerk for storming off without listening to you. And when his ass comes crawling back for your ass make him squirm."
"Kol is rubbing off on you majorly. And thanks for listening to me. But please tell me was I wrong to make that decision for him?"
"Considering he registered for both of you I don't think you were wrong. You were just trying to do something nice for him and he is literally an asshead for not recognising it."
"Asshead. I like it. I'm kind of terrified though." Caroline remarked.
"Of what?"
" I waited for him at his apartment for hours and he didn't show up. What if he doesn't come back?"
"Then we'll both go find him and kick his asshead."
Caroline laughed at that and said,"Done."
Moving over to sit on the couch with Bonnie doing the same she said,"So what did I miss in the time I wasn't at the Academy?"
"You mean the whole day and night yesterday and today morning? Only that my grandma is not talking to me."
"What? Why?" Caroline asked concerned at Bonnies predicament.
"She found out about me and Kol dating and thinks we should call the quits because he is a bad influence on me and is distracting me from my real dream of being a prima ballerina."
"I'm so sorry Bonnie I haven't been there for you. I should have been there for you... "
"Care it's okay. You had bigger fish to fry , at the Academy and still do. And also Katherine kind of asked me about you."
"No. My problems may be big but your problems are just as important as mine are Bon. You said you considered me your friend enough to let me stay at your place but I don't think you really do."
"Caroline.. "
"It should not be just you being there for me it goes both ways Bon. You can totally share your problems with me and if you don't out of consideration of my problems I'll stop staying here. You can always tell me what's going even if you think I'm in a greater pickle than you."
"Okay. So what are you gonna do about Katherine?"
"Dont change the subject Bennett."
"Fine. I told you my grandma is not talking to me since yesterday night when I went for dinner and kind off have been avoiding Kol but I read his texts that's how I knew you were with Klaus."
"What? Why are you avoiding him?"
"Did you just miss the part about my grandma thinking he is a distraction? "
"No. But is he?"
"What?"
"A distraction? I mean that's what your grandma thinks. What do you think? Because I saw you were really happy with him."
"I kind of missed a class as I woke up late since we were you know.. up late the night before."
"I get it. I don't need the details."
"And my grandma is really tough on me when it comes to ballet. And at dinner last night she asked me to break up with him."
"What did you say to her?"
"I said it's not Kol's fault and I haven't forgotten about my dream. And then she got angry and started saying things like what future do I really think I can have with him as he is not serious about his life. And how he has made Klaus his role model when really he should be following in Elijah's footsteps. And then she practically just told me not to talk to her until I stopped seeing that boy." Bonnie said with a few tears escaping her brown eyes.
"Hey. Come here. It's going to be okay." Caroline said hugging her and she continued,"And now I've been avoiding him and he keeps calling and texting and I don't know what to do?" And then pulled back and wiped her tears.
"Do you want me to talk to your grandma? She's scary but I'll do it for you." Caroline asked and Bonnie chuckled wiping the rest of her tears.
"No. Not right now. First I have to talk to Kol."
"So you're gonna break up with him?" Caroline asked.
"No. But I'll tell him the truth and let him decide. I mean he may not be into me that much. We've only been on a few dates."
"Are you kidding me? The guy practically worships you."
"I know he cares about me a lot as I already said it that's why I'm gonna talk to him tomorrow. But I think I maybe falling in love with him."
"Aww. Just know that I'm here for you in whatever you decide and if you need me to do anything absolutely anything don't hesitate to ask better yet just order. And you know what Bon maybe it's just me but I think he loves you too. And don't worry true love always finds a way."
"Well then I'm going to give you the same advice regarding your asshead." Bonnie said with a smile.
"Thanks I guess." Caroline replied with a smile and hugged her friend for support.

(TWENTY MINUTES LATER)
The doorbell rang and Caroline went to open the door. Kol Mikealson was standing on the other side. He greeted Caroline," Hey Blondilocks. Can i come in? I'm here to see Bonnie."
"Umm. You know why don't you wait here. I'll go see if she is out of shower or not."
"Fine.I'm waiting." Kol replied and Caroline went to tell Bonnie about his arrival.
Knocking on her bedroom door Caroline asked,"Hey Bon. Bonnie?"
Opening the door she said, "Yes."
"Kol is here and he wants to see you. What do you want me to say?"
"Just tell him that I'm sleeping... I... Kol.. " Bonnie said his name when she saw him standing a few feet away in the living room. He could see both Bonnie and Caroline from where he was standing. When he heard Bonnie tell Caroline to lie about what she was doing he turned on his heel to leave but Bonnie's holler stopped him," Kol! Wait."
She moved around Caroline and went to where he was standing. She looked up at him with apologetic eyes and said," Please don't get me wrong."
"Wrong. What exactly should I infer from this Bonnie?"
"I'm sorry okay. I am... "
"For what Syrup? For lying or evading me all day?"
"You have every right to be angry...
"Angry doesn't even come close to what I'm experiencing right now."
"I know. I get that but..."
"I don't think you do. Because if you had an inkling of what I'm feeling right now or how you've made me feel you wouldn't have done what you did."
"I know. But just let me... "
"Let you do what? Give you another chance to lie to me. So you could.. " Before he could continue leaning on her toes Bonnie kissed him to shut him up just like he had the first time they had kissed. Kol grabbed her waist and lifted her off her feet. He kissed her back his frustration and love both colouring his kiss. A distant sound of Ahem broke them apart and both looked at Caroline who waved at them.
Still in his arms she touched her forehead to his and said,"I'll tell you the real reason why I've been avoiding you but you have to know that I was only doing that because I didn't want to hurt the people I love."
"Okay. Shoot." Kol said and Bonnie moved out of his arms and stood a few feet away.
He felt dissatisfied at her pulling away but patiently waited for her to continue.
"Remember I missed a class last week?" She asked and he just tucked his hand in his jeans pockets and nodded.
"My grandma was angry at me. She now knows about us and thinks I should break up with you because you're distracting me from my dream of being prima ballerina."
He felt his heart dying at hearing she was going to break up with him. He hadn't said it to her but he loved her and the realization that he was going to lose her was like a giant knife carving a hole in his heart where she lived. With anguish and grief clogging his throat he whispered,"So this has been your subtle manner to break up with me?"
She rushed into his arms and hugging him tightly she looked up and said,"No. No. I'm not breaking up with you. Kol I love my grandma. I love dance and I... love you."
"What?" Kol asked joy piercing his heart and erasing the anguish he was feeling earlier.
"Yes. I do. I was only avoiding you because I didn't want to hurt the people I loved and that includes you too. And I'm so confused because I love my grandma and she said she won't talk to me as long as I am with you. And I didn't know what to do." When he just stood there shellshocked and did nothing Bonnie moved back feeling foolish at rushing to confess her love.
Then hugging her arms she said,"And I didn't tell you this to make you feel responsible. I figured you should know the truth and as to what I feel for you, you are not responsible for that either I only told you that because you should know the whole truth."
He stared at her for a few seconds than grabbed her kissed her with all his love and passion. Both of them let their desire for the other run rampant completely mindless to the fact that Caroline was still standing in the living room.
Caroline coughed but they kept on kissing each other. She then clapped loudly and they jerked back."Guys just so you know I'm not a pervert so I'm go gonna go to my bedroom. Also I just wanted to say if your planning on getting down and dirty please keep in my mind I'm in the bedroom right across the hall. Thank you."
She turned and then passing by Kol she whispered,"And remember Mikealson if you hurt my friend I'm going to bust your kneecaps."
Kol looked weirdly amused and impressed at the same time. When she left Bonnie asked,"What did she say?"
"Nothing. So where were we?"
"I don't remember where we were?" Bonnie replied hoping he would forget her confession since he didn't requite her affections.
"You were telling me you love me."
"Yeah and you just stared at me like I had tazed you."
"It's because I hadn't reckoned for someone like you to fall for someone like."
"Someone like me?"
"Yes. Loving, caring, sexy and the most gorgeous woman in the whole galaxy. And me I'm just loser with some creepy fetishes for the most gorgeous woman of the galaxy whom I'm in love with."
"You love me?"
"Yes irrevocably. Bonnie Bennett I'm madly in love with you."
Bonnie kissed him again with him kissing her back. Then she said," And you are not a loser. You are the most perfect man of the galaxy."
"Ahan?" He asked and hugged her.
"Yes." She replied and hugged him back.
"Come with me to my apartment, Syrup. You finally told me you loved me I need you all to myself tonight."
"I wish I could. And believe me I want to more than anything but I first need sort out things with my gammy." Bonnie replied looking contrite.
"Alright."
"Alright? I thought you'd be angry."
"Well maybe I would have been if you had continued to conceal your dilemma from me but I don't want to distress you. I know that you already are severely dismayed at your disaccord with your grandmother and you love her so I'll wait until she gives us a green signal."
"And what if she doesn't?"
"Then I'll inveigle her with my Mikealson charm and charisma." Kol replied and Bonnie laughed.
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
(TWENTY MINUTES LATER)
Again the doorbell rang and this time Bonnie Bennett went to answer the door. She wasn't much pleased when she saw a certain other Mikealson standing on the other side.
"So what can I do for you?" Bonnie asked.
Klaus Mikealson had always been his own man. He had never been at ease with following orders or living by another's rules. He went where he favored and did what he desired. Hence when the Bennett girl had opened the door and asked in an unpleasing and haughty tone what she could do for him he wished to say something unsavory but was also aware that if he wanted to see Caroline he had control his inner urge and be polite.
In a very congenial manner he asked," May I come in? I gather Caroline is here and I need to talk to her."
"I think you should stay here. I'll see if she is still up or not." When Bonnie was about to close the door but he put a restraining hand on it to prevent it from closing, "We both know she is still up as it's still 6 in the evening and also I'd like to enlighten you that I can easily pick a lock so it'd be more sensible if you just invite me in."
"Fine. But just stay in the living room." She said opening the door and Klaus sauntered in.
She went across the hall and knocking on Caroline's door she called out, "Hey Care. Klaus is here to see you."
Caroline who was lying in bed enveloped in a fresh bout of self pity got up instantly. Moving over to the mirror she fluffed her hair and applying a bit of a gloss she said,"Bon. Could you tell him that I don't want to see him."
Bonnie turned around and saw him standing in the hallway. From the expression on his face she gathered he had heard what Caroline had said. Bonnie moved back when she saw him moving closer to the door. Clenching his teeth he said to the door," I'd prefer it if you say it to my face."
"Klaus?" Caroline asked from the other side of the shut door.
"Who else?" He answered.
Taking a deep breath and leaning her head against the door she replied," I think you should leave. I'm not ready to talk to you."
"Well. Too bad sweetheart I'm not leaving until you come out and talk to me." He replied his panic and insecurities growing with each passing second.
"What?"
"You heard me right." He yelled trying to sound confident but was panicking inside at the prospect of losing her.
"I'm not coming out. Who the hell do you think you are coming and going as you please."
"Great. Then I'll just lounge in Bonnie's living room." He said his voice betraying the emotions on his face. Bonnie could see he really cared about Caroline and she wanted to help her friend.
"You know what you can do whatever you want and I couldn't care less." Caroline yelled from the other side feeling hurt and irate all over again. Just hearing his voice was agony. She didn't know if she could face him.
"Its settled then. I'm staying and love you'll have to come out sometime you know. "
"Bonnie if you let him stay. You're going to officially make it on the list of top ten traitors in the history of the world."
"What?" Bonnie asked and looked at Klaus apologetically wording he had to go.
"Yes. Please ask him to leave." Caroline yelled again.
Bonnie said to Klaus,"Look I'd have helped you but she doesn't want to see you. I think you really hurt her and this may not be the right time to apologize."
He abhorred displaying emotions especially in front of strangers. He loathed the fact that the Bennett girl was pitying him right now but he knew he deserved it as he had hurt Caroline. He had done exactly the same thing that Katerina had done with her that was judging her before listening to her side of the story and that too after he had avowed he wouldn't be incensed or doubt her intentions.
Hence he knew he had to resolve this with Caroline right now before she spurned him.
"No I'm staying here until she listens to what I have to say."
"Okay. But I'm only helping you because I can see that you care for her and also because I know she's miserable without you. But if you hurt my best friend Mikealson I'm going to beat the shit out of you, you smug asshead."
Klaus smiled because strangely he was amused and impressed by Bonnie Bennett's loyalty for his Caroline.
"Come with me our bathrooms are attached you can go through my bedroom into hers."
Bonnie led the way and he followed.
Caroline was still standing near the door when Klaus entered her bedroom in Bonnies apartment.
He coughed. She moved back swiftly frightened and said, "Klaus! You scared me."
"I can see. Caroline let... "
"What the hell? Bonnie let you in." She said and opening her bedroom door and yelled,"Bennett your name is going in the history right next to Benedict Arnold and Mir Jafar."
And looking at Klaus she said,"And can leave.I'll talk to you if I want."
"Caroline please." He pleaded.
"Please what?"
"Just listen to me."
"Why should I?" Caroline said crossing her arms.
"Because you love me despite me being unworthy of it."
"Klaus I'm not doing this with you. Not right now anyway."
"Okay. I won't leave either until you hear me out."
"So what are you gonna do? Stay here in my bedroom."
"Fantastic i know you prefer the right side of the bed love." Klaus said lounging on her bed.
She rolled her eyes and said,"So you are having fun? I was worried sick about you leaving things the way you did between us Klaus and you are enjoying this."
And she went out of her bedroom. He raced after her. Grabbing her elbow he leaned her against the hallway wall and kissed her fervently . His kiss as always sent shivers through her entire being. He wanted to atone for his doings and get down on his knees if need be.
Breaking apart to breathe he cradled her face in his hands and mumbled a sincere apology.
"Klaus its not just about me wanting an apology. I wanted you to listen to me before you judged me."
"I know. I'm sorry. Caroline." He said walking into the living room.
"It's just no one has ever done something generous for me just out of the goodness of their heart."
"No one did. So you assume I also had to have a motive?"
"That's not what I meant. I don't know how to respond to genuine care and affection. I know you said you love me but it's hard for me actually believe, not because I doubt your word or your adoration but because I feel I'm undeserving."
"So you just walked out rather than give me a chance to explain?"
"I'm sorry." He again said a heartfelt sorry and moved closer to her.
"It's okay. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have made that decision for you I know I had no right to. So I called Elijah and let him know that I don't want the sponsorship anymore."
"Caroline that's not what I meant neither what I want. I don't want you to give up on an incredible opportunity because of me."
"I only signed because I wanted this for you too Klaus. And I'm not trying to guilt trip you in to accepting the sponsorship."
"I know but give me a chance to redeem myself. Would you please accompany me?"
"Where?"
"Some place where I can explain my viewpoint without further sounding like an arse." He said moving closer.
"I'm not going anywhere with you." She replied moving farther.
"Suit yourself. But darling by now you know how persistent I can be. If you won't come with me I can very well carry you and it would be my pleasure." Klaus remarked with a smirk.
"Of course you're all for the caveman routine. Fine I'll come with you but I won't stay the night."
"We'll see about that." Klaus said with an arrogant smile and Caroline glared at him.
She sat in his car and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Do you not trust me?"
"I'm teetering on the edge of not trusting you."
"Well then I won't let you fall, love." Klaus said with a sad yet sincere voice.
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCK
(TWO HOURS LATER)
They parked near a beach. Klaus took her to a sailboat. It was a beautifully built white boat named Esther. He helped her up on it and ended up lifting her in his arms.
She quickly slipped out of his arms still feeling indignant. He led her on the deck. It was wonderfully decorated with yellow lights which were standing out and marvelously contrasting with the night sky. On one corner there was a table set for two with candles and a vase filled with a dozen red and white roses. It was elegantly decorative. She was once again astounded by his tenderheartedness. She understood he was trying to apologize in his Klaus like way i.e. by humongous romantic gestures. Guess he was a big believer of actions speak louder than words but she needed words too. Hence she turned towards him slowly and asked,"What is all this?"
"I know I marched out without giving you a chance to explain your motive behind accepting the sponsorship. And trust me love I realized my mistake just a few minutes later but I couldn't come back to you without this."
"I told you I don't need all these grand gestures Klaus. As much as I love them and am honestly speechless and grateful every time you do something like this it is not the answer. It feels like you're trying to shut me up with this romantically magnificent scenic stage."
He hurried on to hold her arms and pulling her closer he said, "That's not what I am doing. I told you earlier I don't know the appropriate response to indubitable affection and fondness. And I think I ran away partly because I hated it was Elijah's money but also because for the very first time someone did something for me just because they love me."
"Then let me tell you the appropriate response would have been a thank you and a kiss."
He smiled and when he leaned forward to kiss her she put a finger on his lips and said, "Also I need you to just tell me. Be honest with me. I'm not forcing you to talk to me about what you've been through. But do you realize that this misunderstanding occurred because I didn't know what your bone of contention with Elijah is."
Moving on the farther end Klaus gripped the railing and sighed. He looked back at Caroline who was standing in the middle of the deck wearing a beautiful light pink frock her curls in a ponytail and a hesitant smile on her face but sorrowfulness currently clouding her eyes. He wanted to vanquish the sadness and see her eyes light up with laughter and especially her love for him. He moved close to her again and holding her hands kissed her knuckles. She in turn caressed his face.
"Caroline my father Mikeal is actually my step father. All of my siblings are my step siblings. I'm actually a byproduct of an affair my mother had with a dancer many years ago. My mother got frightened of Mikeal and gave me up for adoption. Mikeal used to be away from home a lot so it was easier for my mother to conceal her pregnancy from him until she gave birth to me. But foster system is mostly tomfoolery no matter what our government asserts. So I winded up on streets. And when you live on the streets you do unspeakable things just so you can survive another day. I'm ashamed now to even think about most of the heinous things I did. I cannot verbalize my transgressions love. Most of the things i did were for survival but there comes a time when you become comfortable with it. Lose the sense of right and wrong. That's who I am Caroline. Can you now look at me and tell me you still love me?"
Halfway through his speech he had moved away she went over to him and hugged him. He wound his arms around her thanking his fate for bestowing him with the preciousness she was.
She looked up into his eyes kissed him and said,"I love you, Niklaus Mikealson."
Everytime she vocalized her love it he felt festive.
"When I was fifteen my mother Esther found me. She desired to do the right thing by me before she died as she had been diagnosed of bone cancer. Mikeal was only aboard her idea as he was honoring her last wish. For a year or so things were agreeable at the Mikealson household back in London. But soon things took an ugly turn beginning with Esters death and Mikeal's vendetta against the living proof of his wife's infidelity, me. And his vendetta often resulted in him getting drunk and... hitting me. "
Caroline was still in his arms she felt him go rigid when he mentioned his stepfather. To soothe him she pressed a kiss on his heart. He let out a breath to compose himself. Kissing her head he continued, "My mother perhaps had the perfect idea about Mikeal's true nature hence she left me this Academy in heritage with her lawyer, which I was to acquire when I turned the lawyer made the mistake of trusting Elijah who in turn handed the will over to Mikeal."
"What? How could he do that? And come to think of it I thought Elijah was big on morals and stuff. I can't.. " Caroline remarked getting incandescent at Elijahs betrayal.
"But to be fair. Elijah and rest of my siblings don't know the exact extent of Mikeals abhorrence towards me." Klaus said interrupting her.
"Don't make excuses for him. He is your elder brother it was his job to know. And screw his sponsorship. I hope he chokes on it." Caroline moved back and delivered her diatribe against Elijah.
Klaus laughed at her impassioned speech. Gathering her in his arms again he said,"Caroline Forbes where have you been my entire life? I guess I can rest my mind easy since I have you as my champion now."
"Damn straight you do, Mikealson. But I'm serious we are not taking that sponsorship."
"Yes dear anything else." Klaus asked trying to lighten the mood.
"Yes. You guys lived in London right how come the Mikealsons have an Academy here?"
"My mother came to America for a few shows on Broadway and met Sheila Bennett. Both of them hit it off instantaneously and next thing turned out to be them planning an Academy of their own here."
"And then she visited USA often because of the Academy and that's how you made friends with Marcel?"
"Yes."
"Another thing."
"What?"
"You can kiss me now." Caroline said approaching him.
He snatched her into his arms kissing the spot beneath her ear he mumbled against her skin,"Anything else love?"
Feeling disoriented by the way his lips were awakening her desire she unitelligably muttered,"No... yes... keep doing it."
He smiled and soon found her lips.
KCKCKCKCKCKKCKCKCKCKKCKC
After sharing the dinner at the boat they returned to Klaus's apartment.
Caroline was now lying naked on him and was texting Bonnie she won't be home as she was with Klaus.
Reaching over to put the phone on the night stand she said,"There done. I told Bonnie I'm staying at your apartment."
Her wiggly movement was strangely seductive in fact every little thing about her was sinfully tempting starting from her tiny twitchy nose to her shinning smile. Klaus leaned up and kissed her thoroughly.
"I thought you weren't coming with me Miss Forbes."
"I know but I felt bad for you after your tale of woe." Caroline said and then tucking the sheet around herself she straddled him and added," So I decided to cheer you up Mr Mikealson."
"What if I say I'm still feeling a bit low spirited?" Klaus said cupping her buttocks over the sheet.
She leaned down running her hands over his rock hard abs she bit his lower lip and said,"Then I'll say not before you do something for me."
He groaned and replied,"What can I do for you my lady?"
In a flash she got up and enthusiastically announced,"I want to see the sketches Marcel was talking about."
"Uhh." He said and getting up he grabbed his pants and wore them.
By the time he was dressed in his jeans she had already worn his henley and was standing ready looking at him with childlike animation. He felt himself smiling at her infectious enthusiasm.
"Okay." Klaus said and led her to his studio.
KCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKKC
"Klaus this is stupendously beautiful." Caroline remarked awe evident in her voice and then moving closer to him she continued,"In fact I don't think they've yet coined a term for how absolutely awe-inspiring this is. But you haven't shown me my sketches. I wanna see them."
Klaus hesitated and she said,"What? I already have the one you drew on a napkin and I still cherish it. I don't understand why would you hesitate now?"
"I'm just apprehensive."
"About?"
"You thinking of me as some stalker creep."
"You weren't apprehensive about this when you actually gifted me a sketch. And now you're worried. What's the real deal here?" Caroline said putting her arms around his neck.
"Okay I'm a teensy bit... you can say nervous." Klaus said bringing her closer.
She lightly chortled at his nervous expression he looked adorable. To alleviate his fear she said,"I know it's going to be remarkable."then making a pout she said,"Please."
He then held her hand and guided her over to a wall covered with a curtain. He drew away the curtain and she was stunned to see a large portrait of herself painted on the wall. She was astounded to see how flawlessly he had sketched her face. It felt like he had reproduced her features exactly but only much more beautiful and exquisite. She slowly moved over to him. She caressed his stubble and then running her hand in the hair at the back of his neck she kissed him. He kissed her back relishing her taste. Breaking the kiss he said,"I want to draw you wearing only my bracelet."
"Na ah. I'm so not into another titanic cliche`, Jack."
"Please I'm nothing like that buffoon."
"Are you seriously calling the most romantic guy a buffoon?"
"Yes. And what's romantic about killing yourself when there were clearly a thousand ways he could've survived. I mean they could've lived happily ever after if he hadn't been a pussy."
Caroline hung her mouth open to convey her surprise. Looking at her face he asked,"What?"
"You are telling me you believe in happy endings and think there could have been an alternate ending to Titanic. That's so sweet."
"I'm not sweet. I said that so you'd be happy to hear that it was the guys fault." Klaus said sounding offended at being called sweet. She knew he was feeling self conscious about sharing this fact about himself and also he was peeved at her calling him sweet that is why it was so much more cuter to her.
Smothering her laugh she said,"I see you're trying to veer away from the topic at hand and I'm pretty sure an ice berg was the culprit but I agree women are always right."
"And I see you're trying not to laugh at me."
"I'm only laughing cuz you make me happy, you romantic buffoon." She said and earned a smile from his handsome face.
He kissed her touching his lips to her soft ones. Each time they kissed it was more potent than the last. Delving his tongue into her mouth he hoisted her up and she fastened her legs around his waist. Klaus moved over to the large chair in his studio. Still kissing he sat her on it.
She changed positions and he ended up sitting on it with him on her lap all the while feasting on the sweet taste of her tongue. She raked her nails torturously on his back as he broke the kiss and suckled on her neck. Klaus knew he had to take her now he wanted her. He needed to extinguish the fire she had kindled but he knew he would never be able to burn down his desire for her.
The taste of her skin was intoxicating his senses. He kept moving lower all the while running his hands all over her scintillating body massaging her breasts squeezing her buttocks making her go wild with the passion he was feeling for her. Caroline pulled him closer allowing him to pleasure her and in turn pleasure himself. He sneaked his hands under the shirt she was wearing and rubbed her breasts. Caroline arched back and Klaus nipped at her belly button as her shirt rode up.
He got rid of her shirt and traced his hand languidly over her abdomen. She snaked her arms around his neck and he burried his face in the valley between her breasts lightly licking at her skin. Then almost urgently he took one bud into his mouth and inserted his forefinger inside her core. The sudden invasion caused her to loudly moan his inch of her tantalizing body ensorcelled wanted to give as much as he was receiving.
Caroline was caught in the onslaught of the lust he was arousing in her with his hands and mouth. Bunching one fist in his hair at the nape of his neck she dug the nails of her other hand in his shoulder. He started sliding his finger inside her roughly causing her to rapidly jerk back and forth against his hand. She couldn't control her unadulterated response to him. Klaus was rapidly moving his finger inside her and ignited her further by slowly rubbing her clit with his thumb. The combination of rapid and slow movements was driving her wild and wanton. He could ascertain that her passion was peaking and she was about to come.
Feeling her walls clutch against his hand her orgasm rolled through her and she again yelled his name and went limp in his lap. Her breathing labored Caroline hid her face in his shoulder. He fisted his hand in her hair but tenderly pulled her head back to gaze into her eyes. Staring at the goddess rumpled by his ardent love making he was once again over come by lust. He swooped in to nuzzle his lips to hers and she helplessly responded. Then in a swift motion he twisted her around and settled her on his lap with her back flush against his chest. He traced her back with his tongue and lips. His callosed hands slowly trailed upwards from her abdomen to her breasts. He palmed her breasts then kneaded her nipples between his fingers and Caroline arched into his chest. Streaks of electrifying heat suffused her. Left with no other choice she grasped his forearms and let him torture her.
Klaus kept kissing her back leaving a track of wet kisses with his mouth. Then he gently eased himself inside her velvety walls from behind. Caroline gasped out as the frisson of desire his penetration awoke within her. She bit back her moans by biting on her lip. Klaus started moving inside her at a tormentingly slow pace. He encircled an arm around her lower abdomen and slowly lifted her up pulling out and then moved her down pushing inside her. She was incognizant to everything except the feel of him thrusting inside her scorching her with his desire. Klaus's need for her mounting with each thrust he twisted her face sideways to kiss her and swallowed her sexy moan. His hands gripping her buttocks he increased his pace. He started moving her up and down rapidly pressing light kissed on her sweet back. Intensifying her pleasure he massaged her triangle with hand and palmed her breast with the other. He needed to lose himself in her be one with her body mind and soul. The new style and rhythm made them wanton with lust. Carolines breasts bobbed up and down with every movement and he continued to caress them. Galloping towards their combined destiny they combed their hands. Both of them could feel their desire trotting towards ecstasy. Gauging that they both were about to come Klaus suddenly pulled out of her she sobbed out as she felt denied but again in an expert swift move he seated her on his member with her now facing him. For a one painful second he kissed her lips tenderly and then speedily started pounding inside her. She gripped his chest her nails embedding in his muscles. They continued moving insync with each other driving towards the simmering passion until their orgasms overwhelmed them and they succumbed to the sinful need, diving headlong into the animalistic pool of desire.

Late that night Klaus's cell phone rang. He untangled himself from a very tempting sleeping Caroline. Carefully he got out of bed and picking up his phone saw that Marcel was calling.
"Marcel."
"Klaus where are you man?"
"I'm at my apartment. What's wrong?"
"Is Caroline with you?"
"Yes she is. Why?"
"Mikeal's back."
"I know. He has been back for more than a week now. You called me at this hour to tell me this?"
"Klaus. He came to the quarter. He was asking questions about you. But more significantly he mentioned Gilbert."
"What?" Klaus asked in a heated voice.
"I'm not sure how he knows Gilbert. But he was making evocatory innuendos about him and Caroline."
Klaus looked back at his sleeping angel and swallowed his jitters. Clenching his jaw he bit out,"He knows about Caroline?"
"I don't think he knows her name or her connection with Gilbert but he is aware she is special to you. He referred to her as your blonde whore."
"How dare he? I'm going make him torture him so much that every breath he takes will become an agonising feat for his inquitous soul."
"I know man. You and me both. But this is no time to be irrational about this. I think you should take her and disappear for a while."
"I'll do anything but I won't run away like a basic invertebrate."
"Trust me man this is no time to be heroic. He also knows about your plan. He caught a few of our men. Also he was gloating about how he would permanently annihilate you this time. And how he has a plan and an unexpected ally. He was bragging about ending this war between you two once and for all. He means business this time. I'm on your side that's why I'm saying take Caroline with you and run. "
"Marcel... "
"There is a difference between bravery and foolishness Klaus."
"I'm aware but I'm prepared this time. I'll erase his existence from the face of the earth forever. For now put a tail on him. I'll meet you tomorrow to discuss our further plan."
"Okay your the boss."
Klaus then hung up the phone. He lay beside Caroline and she instantly curled towards him. He kissed her head. Marcels words about Mikeal being aware of Caroline kept circling in his mind plaguging him with each passing moment. Subconsciously he pulled her closer and started running his hand on her back. Klaus wasn't afraid of Mikeal but he knew he wouldn't be able to live if he (Mikeal) hurt her. He had lied to Marcel about having a plan but he was sure of one thing he would protect Caroline with his life.
The only quandary was he was absolutely clueless about this new unlikely ally.

( 12 hours Back)
Rebekah Mikealson was all dressed up for her breakfast date with Enzo in her purple silk top paired with white jeans. She had let her hair loose and was wearing the silver diamond studded hoops Enzo had given her for their three week anniversary. She didn't even know there was such a thing as a three week anniversary until he had surprised her with the elegant diamond hoops. Then instead of staying the night he had invited her on a date saying that he wanted to recreate their first date.
She looked at her watch and hastily applied pink gloss thinking he would be here any minute. Hence when the doorbell rang she sprinted towards her door but was absolutely astounded to see his Mikeal at her door.
With a vicious smile he greeted her,"Hello Becky."
"What are you doing here father?"
"Is that any way to greet your father? And won't you invite me in Little Becky?"
"Dont call me Becky. And I'd like to repeat myself for your old ears father why are you here?"
Sauntering inside pushing past her he replied,"I'm hear to get the latest update on your beloved brother Niklaus as me knowing about him is crucial in our plan Becky."
"Its not our plan father. It's yours. I'm not going to help you."
"Are you forgetting what's at stake little girl?"
"You can't do this. Why are so obessessed with demolishing Niks happiness? What has he even done to you?" Rebekah wailed trying to reign in her temper.
"His existence is a constant reminder of your mother's betrayal. As long as I'm alive I won't let him live his life in peace. He wrecked my happiness so now I'm going to return the debt in spades. And you're going to help me or else you know what I'm capable of. So is it a deal? Becky? " Mikeal spat out and then extended his hand for her to shake.
She contemplated for a few minutes and then reluctantly shook his hand.
