A couple of hours later I find myself stirring. Approaching my mirror I'm a mess with a tear stained face and smeared make-up. As I gaze at my reflection, doubts start to creep into my mind.
What have I gotten myself into? If I truly love him, I should let him go. If he is worth it, he will come back.
Wait...Love? Who said anything about love? Could It be? Did I make a mistake in kicking him out? What if I never see him again? Maybe I'll end up as an old crazy woman sipping meals through a straw with forty cats for companionship. Perhaps I should just sign the damn thing and give him what he wants. It's only for three months, if I don't like it then I can always walk away, but how will it change me? It's what I want...isn't it? I can't resist the control freak and crave him like a drug, but he's fifty shades of fucked up and not good for me. We all come with our own baggage, are any of us really perfect?
Turning on my phone , I notice there's a text from him.
Klaus: I am truly sorry Caroline . It was never my intention to hurt you.
Caroline: But you did.
Klaus: I know I know , I'm a bloody fool. Can we talk, please?
Caroline: No.
Klaus: You know love, nobody has ever said no to me before.
Seriously!? I hit reply.
Caroline: There's a first time for everything . Get used to it Mr. Mikaelson.
Klaus: I want to come back.
Caroline: And why should I let you back in?
Klaus: Well , my therapist says you should.
Cracking up , I hit reply.
Caroline : Perhaps you should date your therapist.
Klaus: He's not my type ,but you very much are.
Exhaling deeply , I hit reply.
Caroline: Fine, Come over but no funny business Klaus . I'll have my guns ready.
Klaus: Your wish is my command sweetheart ;)
Wait, Did he actually use an emoji?!

Less than ten minutes later, there's a knock at my door.
How the hell did he get here so fast?
Unlatching the chain I disengage the deadbolt, turn the handle and let the door swing open. Without even acknowledging him, I turn around, nonchalantly walk away and seat myself on our couch. Klaus steps inside, closes the door behind him and remains standing.
"What , did you sprint back from your hotel?"
"I never left."
"You've been out there this whole time?"
He nods.
"I couldn't leave you like that."
"Like what?" I say, wiping my eyes as more tears threaten to fall.
"I don't know what it is about you Caroline, but I can't seem to stay away."
Chuckling to myself, I can't help but smile.
"Well...that makes two of us."
"Can we talk about the contract?"
"I already told you...I can't be like that."
"I don't want you to." He's says, struggling with his words.
"Klaus...what're you saying?"
"I'm saying I usually get what I want, and if the contract is going to keep us apart, I'm willing to get rid of it."
"But you mentioned this weekend that without a contract, there could be no relationship."
"I remember what I said,Caroline. I'm making an effort to be better for you," he replies, taking a seat beside me.
"So you would turn down that indecent proposal...for me?"
"Yes...but you have to understand, this is new for me so if you could please stop busting my chops... Sweetheart Uh,I...I'm willing to try if you'll give me a second chance "
"Klaus...I really want to believe you, but it's just not going to work between us. I get it! You said yourself that you're not boyfriend material so you're not looking for THIS." I say, pointing between us. "You need to feel empowered and in control at all times. This monstrosity of yours is a defense mechanism to keep you from forming any meaningful relationships."
"Bloody hell! Caroline, I'm trying, but you're so damn stubborn!"
Striking an obvious nerve with him he takes a deep breath and rakes his fingers through his hair.
"It doesn't have to be, perhaps we can make it work for us."
Surprised by his change of attitude, I raise an eyebrow, "Are you sure, you and your twisted psyche can handle this?" My sarcasm elicits a chuckle out of him.
"You should have majored in psychology, Miss Forbes...you sound just like my therapist."
"Maybe you're overdo for a session. When was your last appointment?" For some reason my question makes him laugh.
"Did I say something funny?"
"Would you believe it if I told you fifteen minutes ago?"
"What?"
"Yeah...after you kicked my sorry ass out I called my therapist."
"It's eleven o'clock!" I say, holding up my phone.
"He's paid very handsomely for his services and on call twenty-four, seven."
"Of course he is. So what did the good doctor tell you?"
"In a nutshell...you're right and I'm a bloody idiot." His response surprises me.
"Is that all?"
"No." he whispers, drawing closer to me. His hand brushes against my face as I lean into his touch and close my eyes. "I'm sorry for making you feel bad, love. You're nothing like the others and it was wrong of me to expect you to accept that rolewithout question after the amazing weekend we spent together. I want to make it up to you." His lips brush against mine, slowly breaking down my defenses.
I have to resist him...
"Klaus...you can't fix everything with sex. I need more from you." I breathe out, turning my head so my cheek rests against his.
"I know you do." He says, moving back to look at me."I'll meet you half way."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"Change the terms of the contract to your liking and then we can discuss it on Wednesday. I still want this arrangement to work but I need to know your limits and this has to be right for you." His words finally make sense and I find myself drawn to him once more.
"Fair enough." I say, leaning in to softly kiss his lips. "Thank you."
Reacting to my gentle touch, he takes hold of my wrists and pushes me down onto the couch.
"What're you doing to me, Caroline?" he asks through clenched teeth, his words almost a whisper against my lips.
"I could ask you the same question," I reply breathlessly, eliciting a grin from him.
"Will you let me stay tonight and make love to you?" His voice is soft, as he presses his lips to mine.
"No."
My response is barely heard as he pulls away and stares at me with bewilderment. Letting the air out of his lungs, Klaus releases me and rises to his feet.
"Fine! I'll just let myself out." He says with resignation, reaching for the deadbolt.
"Klaus...wait!" Taking a deep breath, my eyes close for a moment. "I didn't say you had to leave."
"What!? I don't understand...what else do you want from me? I told you I was sorry."
His voice is full of frustration. Staring at my hands, I find myself unable to make eye contact with him.
"I may not be the submissive type per se, but I still want to please you."
"What're you saying, love?"
My body temperature rises, and I can feel moisture rapidly filling me down below as I breathe harder.
"You need my submission, and that's what I'm willing to give to you."
"Caroline?"
"Meet you half way...right?" He slowly nods yes. With a deep breath, I lock my eyes with him. "I'm yours, Klaus."
His jaw practically drops to the floor in shock at my comment.
"You would do that for me?" Without hesitation. I nod yes.
"It's what you need, and what I want." I nervously admit and manage a smile. "Now, take me to bed, love." I playfully add, mimicking his British accent.
I've surprised him, heck I've surprised us both. Who would have thought I would prefer his kinky ways over sweet lovemaking. Maybe I should consider seeing his therapist. Not only have I discovered something about myself, but he is also willing to make an effort to give me more. With the changes to his contract looming, I'm hopeful there may be a future for us.
"As you wish , Sweetheart." he says with a wide smile as he lifts me into his arms.
Smothering me with kisses, he carries me to my room and playfully drops me onto the bed, causing both of us to burst into laughter. After closing and locking the door, he comes back to me and covers my body with his, kissing me furiously while his hands explore the curves of my body. I revel in the weight of his body on mine as I feel his growing erection against my thigh. Running my fingers through his hair and tugging on his necklaces, I enjoy the sensation as he kisses my neck and nibbles on the sweet spot below my ear, eliciting a loud moan from me.
"Lets get you out of these clothes." he says, his voice oozing with seduction. I sit up and allow him to remove my t-shirt, then unclasp my bra as it falls off my shoulders, discarded carelessly.
"Much better" He says , pushing me back onto the bed, caressing my breasts and teasing my nipples. Pushing him off of me, I manage to sit up again and begin the task of unbuttoning his shirt.
"You have way too many clothes on Mr. Mikaelson." I say attacking his lips and pushing the offensive garment off his shoulders, to reveal his beautiful bare chest. As I move forward to kiss his neck, he pushes me away.
"Klaus, I want to touch you."
"I know...but not now." He says softly.
Maybe Someday...
"My turn!"
He says, pushing me back down onto my back. My sweatpants are pulled down and his nose brushes against my core, causing my hips to involuntarily buck. Lying on my back wearing nothing but my panties, I pull him down on top of me.
"I hope you brought enough raincoats." I murmur against his lips.
He retrieves a long chain of condoms from his jacket and waves them at me
"Is this enough?"
Oh, my God!
"Do you trust me?" He whispers, taking his burgundy tie and binding my wrists together above my head, securing it to the headboard.
"Yes." My response comes out as a whisper.
"You're so fucking sexy, Caroline" He pauses, kissing me hard. "Nowhere for you to go, but you've already seen too much." His voice exudes seduction as he brings out a blindfold and covers my eyes.
"Is this okay?" he asks, brushing his lips against mine.
I nod in agreement but with some hesitation.
My breathing quickens as I feel my lower stomach tingling despite him not having touched me yet.
"Don't go anywhere!" He teases. "I'll be right back."
Where the hell is he going?
After a few minutes I hear the front door opening. Shit! Bonnie's back and Klaus is practically naked wearing only his boxers and they're talking! What is she going to think? Great!
A few minutes later, my door opens and then quickly closes, trapping us inside. I hear a bottle being uncorked and its contents being poured into a glass.
Liquid courage? Yes, please...
"Your friend wanted to know how you were so I told her you were tied up." He says jokingly.
"Haha! You are so bad." My sarcasm makes him laugh.
"You have no idea." His words oozing of mischief. "Now what am I going to do to you?"
Just the sound of his voice is already driving me wild, bringing me to the brink without even touching me yet.
"What's in the glass?"
"Mmm...just a little wine." He pauses taking a sip. "Want some?"
"Yes." I breathe out.
"Open your mouth."
I do as I'm told as he feeds sweet wine into my mouth from his lips. It's delicious as I swallow the cold decadent beverage.
"More?"
I nod yes and he repeats the process several times.
"I think you've had enough. You're such a lightweight I don't want you passing out on me." He teases.
"I won't." , my voice becoming more breathless as my arousal escalates.
In return, he pours me more wine and gives me a passionate kiss.
"Now don't move or I wont let you come."
What the fuck?
"And if you make a sound, I'll gag you." He says brushing his thumb against my lower lip. "Bonnie is right outside and she's probably listening."
I nod with agreement.
Suddenly, the cold touch of an ice cube on my lips jolts me. I eagerly sip on the melting water, quenching my dry mouth. The ice tantalizes me, just beyond my reach, with droplets trickling onto my lips as I attempt to catch them before they slide down my neck.
"So Beautiful," he whispers, running the ice cube along my jaw and down my neck. The droplets trickle into the hollow of my throat, eliciting a soft moan from me.
"Shh...she'll hear you."
God , he's so frustrating!
I hear the glass rattle as he removes the tiny glazier from my skin.
"Now...don't move or we'll have to start all over." He warns, as I feel the ice tracing around one of my nipples.
Oh God!
Throwing my head back into my pillows, I arch my back and clench my pelvic muscles to control myself from exploding. The liquid pooling in my throat starts moving south but is quickly intercepted and swallowed up before it can go any further.
"Oh no...you moved." He says nonchalantly, exhaling deeply as he removes the ice from my chest and drops it back into the glass.
"Looks like we'll have to start all over."
Letting out a sigh of frustration, I bite my lip.
"I hate you!"
His laughter is followed by a gentle press of his lips against mine.
"You won't hate me for long." he whispers, as he starts the slow process all over again - tracing the stone from my lips to my jaw, and eventually down to my throat.
By the time he reaches my breast, I'm nearly breathless from the intense cold that stiffens my nipple to a peak, before he gently sucks and tugs on it with his warm mouth. The feeling is intoxicating as he repeats the process to my other breast.
"Does this feel good?" He whispers as my mouth hangs open.
"Uh Huh..." Is all I can manage.
"Do you have any idea how sexy you are? How much you drive me absolutely mad... " He murmurs, trailing the ice cube downward to my belly button ,as the liquid drips down my naval igniting sensations in my core.
I squirm as the liquid spills out and groan in despair knowing he's going to torment me now.
"What did I tell you Caroline...but we're too far to start over, so I'll have to punish you."
His tone is stern as he cleans up the spilled liquid.
Punish me? Oh no!
Finally removing my underwear, the swoosh of coldness attacks my center without warning.
"Jesus Christ! You're soaked!" He blurts out, swiping his fingers through my folds. "I think someone needs some relief."
You think!
Trailing the ice cube down across my lower region sweat starts to form as I try to hold back my imminent release, not wanting him to delay my pleasure.
"Spread your legs for me, love."
I do as I'm told bracing myself for more icy sensations. But as soon as he touches the frozen crystal along my clit I suck in my breath and almost let go.
"Jesus!" I yell out.
"Oh yes sweetheart...feel it!"
"Please Klaus...I can't hold it...PLEASE!"
"I love it when you beg me...just a little bit longer." he murmurs while rubbing me with the tiny stone, making me thrash my head and pull at my restraints.
Stiffening my legs, tears start to fall as I'm overstimulated, desperately needing a release but as I get close he ceases his touch , letting my body return to a normal state. He repeats this painful process of bringing me to the brink and then pulling back, tormenting me into a glorious submission.
"Keep still or I'll bind your legs!" His voice is serious, continuing his ministrations on me, adding his warm tongue to the mix, which drives me insane.
"Oh, my God Klaus! PLEASE!"
"Mmm...your delicious! Is this what you wanted?"
I nod yes, unable to verbalize anything more than grunts.
"Tell me what you want Caroline...use your words or I wont let you come." He says pushing his tongue inside of me.
"You , KLAUS !" I finally blurt out. "PLEASE! Please fuck me!"
"With pleasure , love...you can come now." He says calmly, pulling away and discarding the ice, and without warning thrusts his fingers inside me.
"AARRGGHH!" I scream in pleasure, pulling at my restraints and arching my back off the bed. His fingers curl as he continues to pump me and I come again. I push my head back into the pillows, feeling the intense pleasure wash over me. Faintly hearing the sound of ripped foil I'm spread wider as he slams into me without warning and I climax again, unable to hold back any longer I let go and yell out as he continues to pound into me, making the headboard crash into the wall and bed creak as the tingling sensation returns to my lower belly as I feel the intense build up again.
Again? Is it possible?
"One more time sweetheart. Come with me." He urges on, pulling out all the way, then thrusting mercilessly back into me placing his hand over my mouth to stifle my errant grunts and moans as I'm sure the entire apartment building is aware of our transgressions at the moment. With the sound of clapping skin, my head is swimming with thoughts of passion , a exquisite sensation spreads throughout my body as I'm brought to the brink of an explosive climax.
"Now Caroline...Let it go!"
With his commanding words my world crumbles, unraveling an umpteenth time, yelling out his name as he finds his own release.
"Fuck Caroline!" He yells out and stills himself as his warm seed shoots deep inside .
After a few more thrusts, he collapses on top of me and removes my blindfold revealing my tear filled eyes.
"Darling, you were incredible!" He says kissing me passionately, wiping away my tears. "Is that what you wanted?" He whispers against my lips.
Trying to catch my breath and hold back the tears, I can't help but smile, which makes Klaus sigh with relief.
"Yes! That was fucking amazing!" I breathe out with exhaustion, making us both chuckle.
Freeing my bound hands my arms feel heavy but manage to wrap around his neck as my lips crash into his. After a while he pulls out of me and disposes the condom into the trash can.
"Are you leaving?"
"Not if you want me to." He says, smiling. "Half way...remember?"
I nod, "Yea, I remember..."
He nods back and then joins me in bed, pressing his front against my back and wrapping his arm around me. "Mmm baby, you're so warm."
My response is cut short by a yawn escaping me.
"Get some sleep , love." He says softly, kissing the back of my neck. Feeling completely content, I close my eyes and finally drift off to sleep.
*
A couple hours later...
Opening my eyes I notice our positions have changed. I'm lying on my side facing Klaus who is flat on his back still sound asleep. Even in his sleep, he looks breathtaking with eyelashes casting shadows on his cheeks, an unruly mess of sandy curls and a light stubble adorning his chin. As I study his body, I can't help but feel the urge to kiss his lucious lips and run my tongue over his hard body and devour him whole.
Scooting closer I brush my lips against his and watch him unconsciously lick his lips. Encouraged by his reaction, I start placing feather-light kisses along his neck, throat, and chest. He moans slightly but doesn't wake up which makes me almost giddy and more adventurous.
Looking down I notice the tent under the covers and lick my lips at the sight of Klaus in all of his morning glory. Removing the cover I move down his form, get on my knees and gently wrap my hand around his immense erection. Slowing moving my hand the way he showed me, he slightly stirs but still remains asleep.
We'll see about that...
Leaning down, I slide my tongue over the tip and savor the oozing liquid, relishing his exquisite taste as I draw him into my mouth and suck gently. Silently moaning with pleasure, his flavor is like ambrosia to my senses.
"Wh-what? What're you doing?" He begins to stir and blindly tries to push me away.
"Shh...baby...it's just me...RELAX."I whisper, bringing him back into my mouth.
As he comprehends what's happening, his mouth drops open but no words escape as he watches me revel in his pleasure. Closing his eyes again, he guides me with his hand on the back of my head, setting a steady rhythm while groaning in ecstasy.
"Fuck that's good...AAAHHH!"
As I bring him deeper into my mouth, I feel him at the back of my throat. I continue to move my head along his length and suck with more conviction. With my own arousal escalating, I can feel the wetness between my legs. Using my teeth, I gently scrape along his shaft as he approaches his release.
"Christ Caroline! I'm going to...AARRGGHH!"
He yells out and comes undone as his warm seed flows down my throat. Trying not to gag I swallow quickly and continue to suck him dry. Watching Klaus unravel before me is almost as pleasurable as the orgasms he brings out of me.
After regaining consciousness, he maneuvers himself into a sitting position and pulls me into his arms and kisses me passionately.
"No one has ever done that for me before...it's a hell of a way to wake up." He says giving me a look of adoration.
"Did you like it?"
"What do you think?" He pauses, kissing me. "That definitely earned you an A."
"You're welcome."
My smile does something to him as he pushes me away and reaches for a foil packet.
"What are you doing?"
"Get on your knees and steady yourself against the headboard!"
I do as I'm told and take the requested position.
"You have such a lovely ass." He purs into my ear, rubbing my bum and playfully teasing the opening, making me wiggle with pleasure.
Oh, my god...
"Spread your knees for me." As I follow his instruction he reaches between my thighs and touches me there, feeling my wetness...my need for him.
"Always so ready for me." He says kissing the nape of my neck. Ripping open another foil packet, he takes me from behind and slowly brings me to another release.
We spend the next few hours engaging in what he calls as "vanilla sex," pleasuring each other multiple times until exhaustion overcomes us and we both drift off to sleep.

With sunlight streaming through my window, I hesitate to move, feeling more relaxed and comfortable than ever before. The soft warmth beneath me is so comforting that I never want to leave its grasp. But then I realize that the warmth I am basking in is emanating from Klaus's body.
Slowly opening my eyes, I see myself draped over him, my head and arm resting on his chest as it gently rises and falls with his breath, his arm securely around me, our bodies fitting perfectly together, molding into one another.
Lifting my head I use this rare opportunity to study his features and see how young and peaceful he looks in his sleeping postcoital state. My heart swells when I see the faint hint of a smile on his lips as he continues to sleep. As I lay my head back down , a terrifying realization dawns on me - I've fallen for this disturbed man and and all I want is to remain in his arms forever.
God! This is so messed up...
Knock...knock...knock!
"Go away!" I mumble into his chest, stirring him from his sleep.
"Care...it's almost nine, don't you have class?" Bonnie's voice comes from the other side of the door.
Oh shit!
Just as I'm about to wake Klaus his cell phone rings, scaring the crap out of me. Reaching over him to grab his cell phone, he wakes up. Looking confused , he just stares at me.
"Umm...it's for you." I say, handing his phone over to him, with a smirk.
"Mikaelson here. Yes I'm fine...why? What time is it? SHIT! Don't start the meeting without me...be there in fifteen."
He jumps to his feet, quickly dresses, and is almost out the door when I call out.
"Hey! Aren't you forgetting something?"
Giving me a frazzled look, he comes back to the bed where I am sitting up, covered by a sheet, and plants a kiss on my lips.
"In all the years of running my company I've never been late for work...NEVER! It's all your fault, Miss Forbes." He teases me with a mischevious grin.
"Yes...I'll accept fifty percent blame for you being late. I had a rather lovely man pillow keeping me warm all night which is the reason I overslept so I will equally blame you." I reply, stretching my arms and inadvertently dropping the sheet below my chest, causing Klaus's eyes to widen.
"Do you have to leave?"
"Yes and so do you." His voice is more stern as he turns to face my mirror to fix his hair.
"Fine...be that way." Pouting, I put my hair up in a messy bun, jump out of bed and grab an oversized shirt from a drawer, then put it on. "I'll walk you out."
With Bonnie in the kitchen we stop at the front door. "Thank you for last night. It meant a lot to me."
"Me too sweetheart. I'm very grateful you decided to give me a second chance. Make your changes to the contract and we'll go over it tomorrow night then we'll go back to my hotel room." He urges on. "After last night I'd be surprised if Miss Bennett is speaking to either of us."
"I know...I still have to face her." I say smirking. "Oh, before I forget, can you send me a digital copy of that document?"
"Ofcourse love. Email me later."
"Umm...yeah."
Grabbing me by my shirt he pulls me closer and yanks the back of my hair down so I'm forced to look up at him.
"Good! Now get your sexy ass ready for class and cover that thing."
Chuckling, he gives me a lingering kiss and opens the door. "Laters, baby..." And leaves.
Wait! What thing?
Rushing to the mirror I see a dark hickey on my neck the size of a half dollar. Shit! Bonnie is definitely going to give me a hard time about this. It's probably his way of marking his territory.
Damn that possessive bastard!
As soon as the door closes Bonnie comes up to me with a twelve-ounce cup of hot coffee , which I gladly accept.
"Oh, my God...thank you. You are a lifesaver." I say, savoring the delicious drink.
"You look like you really need this," she remarks, smirking and shaking her head in disbelief. "Jesus Care! Did you get any sleep last night? What the hell were you guys doing? The entire building must have heard you."
Flushing a deep shade of red , I cover my eyes with my hand, unable to meet Bonnie's gaze. Taking a deep breath I try to apologize.
"I'm so sorry. We sort of had an argument, but then...we made up and got carried away. Anyway, it won't happen again."
"It's fine...but after the first round I resorted to ear plugs, but even that didn't work. I had to blast my earphones to get any sleep. God! Care, I thought Kol and I were loud but you guys are like animals. Oh, and nice hickey by the way. Good luck in covering that up."
"Um yeah..."
Feeling embarrassed and at a loss for words, I still can't bring myself to make eye contact with my friend.
"You were much quieter when you were a virgin, who knew a little bit of action could awaken the sleeping giant. I'm impressed, my friend," she says, cracking us both up. "But, uh, I just want to know if you're okay. Do you want to talk about it?"
Damn NDA!
"Um, Kaus and I talked things through and have a mutual understanding...we're good now" My eyes deceive me as they start to water so I turn away, hiding my emotions from my friend. But nothing gets past Bonnie as she turns my head to face her.
"Care...I've known you for years and something just doesn't feel right. What has that jerk done to you?"
If you only knew...
"Nothing I didn't want him to."
Wiping away my tears, I turn on my heel to head back to my room but Bonnie grabs my arm and stops me.
"If everything's okay then why are you crying? This isn't like you, Care. What's really going on with you?"
I hesitantly turn towards Bonnie, closing my eyes for a moment and taking a deep breath.
"I'm in love with Klaus."
So they're willing to meet each other half way. What do you think about that?
Tune in next time as these two finalize the contract.
Thank you so much for reading.
Until next time :)
