Chapter 2

Rated M

Elena woke up a few hours later. She opened her eyes and looked around, not really recognizing her surroundings, yet not seeing any reason to move from the comfy, warm spot where she lay. She took a deep content breath and sighed, then closed her eyes and listening to the slow, soothing heartbeat of the person beneath her. Suddenly her eyes shot back open and she quickly raised her head to look at said person and found herself looking into the devilishly handsome face of Klaus. His alert blue eyes were staring back into hers, and yet again, though she knew she should be disgusted and terrified, upon seeing it was him she felt calm and relaxed. Then it all came back to her. The werewolf venom, the aimless wandering, winding up on the Mikaelson's front steps, passing out and waking up with Klaus next her, him giving her his blood, the weird feelings she had gotten from it, then falling asleep on his lap. Everything came back like a flood and yet, she still had no desire to get up. Oddly she felt very happy and safe in her place in his arms.

There was a long silence as she laid her head back where it had previously been on his chest, neither of them wanting to pop their little bubble of peace. Finally, after a while Elena spoke.

"What's happening?" she asked in a quiet voice, barely above a whisper. "What is this? Aren't we supposed to hate each other?"

"Honestly love, I couldn't tell you. I have no bloody idea what's going on, but to be quite frank, I'm not sure I care. This, being here with you, is probably the best I've felt in centuries." came the hybrid's soft response as he started to draw little designs up and down her arm.

"It's strange, but, when you gave me your blood to heal me, I got this really weird feeling. It was like, I don't know, like-"

"Like everything was finally making since. All the pieces were finally falling into place." He finished for her. His words were more of a statement than a question and she nodded, looking up at him again, confused as to how he knew that. "I felt it too."

Klaus watched as the confusion in her eyes turned into wonder as they looked back into his and before he could control himself, he leant forward and gently pressed his lips to hers. She was shocked at his sudden movement, but as soon as his lips met hers, she knew this was where she was supposed to be. Here, lying in his arms, kissing him. It felt so right, more right than anything else had in a very long time.

She reached up and caressed his cheek before threading her fingered through his soft, beautiful, blonde curls and wrapping her other arm around his neck. Immediately his arms held her tighter and he rolled them over so that she was on her back with him hovering over her. Elena pulled him closer as his lips traveled south from her lips to her neck. A small moan escaped her lips and her arm unwrapped her arm from his neck and ran her fingertips softly down his chest.

"What do you say we take this somewhere a little more, private." Klaus whispered as he nipped at Elena's earlobe.

The only response he got was a nod and a breathy moan, but that was all the answer he needed. He quickly stood up, taking her with him as he rose, and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Within seconds they were upstair in his bedroom with the door locked behind them. He walked them over to the giant king sized bed and laid her down gently, as though she were the most precious thing in the world, and hovered over her, leaning down and kissing her deeply again. She responded back without hesitation, savoring the moment, and reached down to tug at the hem of his t-shirt.

Klaus pulled back slightly and looked deeply into her mocha eyes, as though searching for confirmation that this was ok, that she wanted this. She stared back into his and, seeming to find what he was looking for, he places a short, sweet kiss on her lips then stood up from the bed so that he could pull the grey shirt over his head. As he did this Elena sat up and took the opportunity to remove hers as well, then reached forwards and hooked her finger through the belt loop of his jeans and pulled him back on top of her.

A short while later all of their clothing lay scattered around the room. Klaus ran his hands over her body, as if he were trying to worship every inch of her, as kissed a trail from her lips, along her jawline to her ear, then down her neck to collarbone and past it, down to breast. Her back arched as his hot tickled the sensitive skin there, causing her nipples to harden. A moan slipped from her lips as he took one into his mouth, suckling and swirling his tongue around it. His hand came up to play with the one that was neglected and after a few moments he switched, giving the the other the same treatment.

"Klaus," his name falling from her lips in pure pleasure was the most amazing thing he had ever heard.

His mouth traveled lower and he heard her gasp in surprise and bliss as it came to her bare, cleanly shaven, womanhood. By this point he knew he was stiff as a board and it was becoming more and more difficult to take things slow. Apparently though, he and Elena were on the same page.

"Klaus, I need you." Elena spoke breathily, "I need you, right now."

His only reply was a small smirk and a tender gaze as he drew himself back up to her level. He positioned himself at her entrance and slow, as to allow her to adjust, pushed into her. When they were completely joined, they both let out a groan of satisfaction and set a steady pace. As the need for their releases increased so did their speed, and soon they were a blur to the human eye, each clutching the other tightly. As they reached their peaks, Klaus leaned down and sunk his fangs into her neck, sending her over the edge.

"Klaus!" Elena half yelled, half moaned, in ecstasy and before she knew what she was doing, she followed his lead and sank her fangs into his neck, sending him over the edge as well.

The both lie on the bed under the sheets some minutes later. Klaus was on his back and Elena using him as a pillow as he held her close, her arm draped over his chest, his tightly encircling her waist. They had both come down from their highs and were now contently enjoying just being in each other's arms.

"Ok," Elena signed, breaking the silence that had contently fallen upon them, "This is really weird, and I have no idea what's going between us, but I think I'm ok with- whatever this is." She spoke softly but he heard every word that fell from her beautiful lips, and the weird thing was, he completely agreed.

"Me too, love. Me too." He replied quietly, placing a sweet, soft kiss in her hair.

Nothing lasts forever though, because at that moment their quiet bliss was broke by the ringing of a cell phone. They simultaneously groaned at the interruption and Elena begrudgingly got out of the bed. She picked up Klaus' boxers and threw them to him, before picking up his t-shirt and slipping it on, along with her panties. She then made her way downstairs where she had discarded her jacket, Klaus on her heels, and pulled her phone out of the pocket. Klaus wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and growled when he saw the caller I.D.

It was Stefan….

OOOO, a cliffy. Hope you enjoyed!
