EPILOGUE

They were in the private jet, flying somewhere.

She was very quiet and that worried him.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong? Are you still with me?"

"Yeah, sorry, I zoned out for a minute. Klaus?"

"Yes?" he turned to her to show that he was all ears.

"You know that I'm not a same person anymore, the same person you met in Mystic Falls years ago? I'm not full of light or perky anymore. I'm just different now.

"No, I don't believe that. Yes I see the little differences in you and it's gonna take awhile to shake her off for good. But the light is in you and it will surface once again."

"I just don't know how I can crawl from his bed to yours so quickly. I feel so dirty and I can't shake it off. I slept with him for a long time, too long, Klaus, and he's now part of me. I messed up so bad, I hurt you, I'm a whore, dirty, disgusting, you shouldn't be with me, you should be with someone pure-" she was in tears and hyperventilating, like she just now understood what she had done for all this time, how wrong it was.

He pulled her swiftly on his lap, in his embrace and he laid little kisses on her, beginning from mouth slowly down her jawline, hoping his touches would calm her and assure her that he wanted her more than ever.

When he felt like she was more calm now, he didn't stop kissing her, he just told her between kisses, "You did a pure and selfless act to save me, I will never forget it. I'm not jealous, I know how much you have sacrificed. I never thought anyone would do something so selfless out of love for me, your act changed me but not for worse, but for better. I now trust you, want you and love you more than ever."

"I'm disgusting, my this body maybe still pure and innocent, but my soul has been ruined in another body. You don't know what we did, what he made me do, I feel like I cheated on you all this time, doing you don't want to know what stuff."

"No, sweetheart, you didn't cheat, this wasn't cheating. And let me assure you, I have in this body done all those same things and more. There's not a single thing I haven't tried concerning sex. Is my body or soul disgusting for you because of it?"

"No."

"There you go, you have nothing to be ashamed about. I would have wanted you to experience all the wonders of having sex with me or someone else you actually loved, but what done is done. Tell me honestly, did you sometimes, you know, enjoyed the things you experienced with him?"

"Yes," She cried, feeling so ashamed.

"Shh… it's normal, you were with him for a long time, it was to be expected."

"At first it was awful, I faked every single time. Then after awhile my body started to betray me and soon it was enjoyable, sometimes I came with him, sometimes I didn't."

"What things did you do with him."

"You know Aurora wasn't the passive partner, so I had to come up with new stuff all the time and excitedly follow through things he wanted to do."

"What did you do? Be specific. I want to know everything."

"We did everything, tried every pose and did poses that humans are not capable of."

"What else?"

"It would take me forever to list all, it's better if you ask me what we didn't do."

"Okay, did he make you have sex with another woman?"

"It was different women, I don't know where she got them but we killed them all afterwards." She cried.

"Shh, it's okay, you did what you had to. Did you try group sex?"

Caroline closed her eyes as the memories just hit her one by one.

"Yes, all different combinations."

"Anal sex?"

"Of course, one of his favourites."

"Did he ever rape you, fucked you even though you said 'no' beforehand?"

Caroline hide her face in the nape of his neck as she cried.

"When I said no, I was über-vampire like him, but you know he was stronger, we fought, we had fights like you would not believe but he always won and fucked me until I bruised. Would I have been a human, I wouldn't have been walk and sit normally for a week."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry you had to go through that for me."

"No, it's nothing compared to what I would do for you."

"Tell me."

"I would die for you, Klaus, I would, I love you so much."

"I love you to and I would never let things get that far."

They got to the Maldives where they wanted to just be and relax until they were bored and wanted to go somewhere else.

When they were settled and were just laying in each other's arms, Caroline told him, "If you really think that you want to have sex with me then let's do it, I want to be with you, the more I am, the more I can forget him."

"Okay. But I don't want to have sex with you, I want to make love to you. I want to take you slow, enjoy everything, every thrust, ever kiss, every touch. I want to redefine sex for you. You will never have to feel that we just fuck, it's always going to be connected to love."

"Then what are you waiting for, Klaus."

"You will tell me if anything triggers something bad?"

Caroline just nodded and just couldn't wait to start.

Klaus started slow, they had been together before, but things were different now.

Klaus started by kissing her, really kissing her passionately and neither wanted to part. While kissing her, he used his one hand to trail his fingers down her neck and cleavage, gently over her one breast and then down to her stomach and the closer he to her groin, the slower he moved towards it. Her kiss and her body showed she eagerly waited for him.

She was wearing a dress, so his fingers trailed from stomach to her thigh, then to the inside of her thigh and her body rising up instantly showed how much she liked his touch. He slowly moved his fingers up her thigh and discovered that she wasn't wearing panties.

We pulled away to look at her in surprise.

"I anticipated it happening today." She said and pulled him back to kiss her.

His continued his travels up to her folds and teased her a little before pushing his fingers lightly in.

She was so wet, it was obvious how much she wanted this.

He started to rub her clit and she began moaning in his mouth. He worked slow and it seemed to slow, as she threw her head back and said, "Faster, Nik."
"Shh…don't call me that, Please, I'm always Klaus to you, Caroline."

"Sorry, I didn't even notice."

"It's okay, just focus."

He moved his fingers faster now. Knowing exactly how fast and where to rub.

"Don't stop," She moaned.

"Come for me, love."

She spread her legs even more to give him better access and then she came for him, her body trembling and whimpering.

He wanted to continue to satisfy her as he was beginning to go down on her but she stopped him by saying, "Don't. I don't want it like that."

"Bad memory?" He asked.

"No, I just don't enjoy it that much and I did have to fake a lot when he went down on me. Besides, I want you inside me, like now."

"Okay, another time then."

He gently pulled her dress over her head, she helped get getting rid of it and now on to the bra. She raised her back to let him reach her back and unclasp the bra. He threw it on the floor and there they were. Her nipples were already hard for him and as he succumbed to caress them one after the other.

"Klaus please, I can't…"

He got rid of his clothes and positioning himself between her legs, she reflectively spread them more apart for him.

He kissed her once more and then looking intently at her he thrusted himself in her and they both marvelled at the feeling of being connected again like that.

He did what he promised, started slower to make her remember what making love meant. He laid kisses on her everywhere, they marvelled at every touch, at every sensation. He showed love to her body and she enjoyed every second of it. She was like a woman lost in a desert finding water after a long time of searching for it.

She had fantasised about this moment ever since she started sleeping with Him, always wishing it was Klaus and hoping that it wouldn't take long until she was in his protective arms.

He started to pick up the pace, seeing and feeling that she yearned for it.

As he got faster, she moaned louder and before driving her over the edge, he kissed her once more and then one more push more deeper and she came again. She whimpered as he made one last push for himself and came with her. They were both panting now and he didn't fall back on the bed right away but holding himself up he kissed her more. With holding his forehead again her own, he told her, "You are divine. And you are mine, you have never been His or anyone else's. I claimed you again and I will do It for the rest of our lives until you forget him and this body doesn't remember him and your soul, your pure soul will forget. In a few hundred years you won't even remember that you once had a partner named Lucien Castle. I will make sure of it. I will always do whatever you need to feel safe and happy."

"Klaus?"

He looked at her questioningly.

"Shut up and kiss me."
