Caroline sat on the edge of their bed waiting for Nik to come out of the shower. Twisting her hands in a nervous habit she thought she had outgrown over her many years. Being with Niklaus had made her see the strength she possessed, at times his love for her and hers for him could still be over whelming, to both of them. These past few days her emotions already heightened as a vampire have been haywire. From livid angry rage when he first went missing through worry, distress, more anger and rage, relief, cold determination, desperation, loneliness, fatigue, grief. You name it she'd felt it tenfold. She couldn't have told you if asked what she was feeling now.

The sound of the running water seemed too loud to her ears. Taking a deep breath she stood walked towards the bathroom. Stopping at the door to take in the sight of him leaning in the shower, palms against the wall, head down, water running down his back. He hadn't moved but she knew he knew she was there.

"Come here love" his voice still sounded raspy, though he had fed when he got in, but the love laced through it was undeniable. She had wanted to tuck him straight into bed when they got him home, but he hadn't wanted to contaminate their bed with the evil he felt he was coated in. In his head they'd made him kill her in many different ways each one breaking him a little more. Too her he looked more alone than he ever had before.

She ran to him then, not even shedding her clothes. Sopping wet in a second she curled around him, a sob escaping her before she could stop it.

He turned at the sound of it. Banded his arms around her tight enough if she'd needed air she'd have struggled.

"How can I need you so much? How can you possibly know how it is to love someone so much? Nik, I'd, I"

All the emotions she'd been struggling to contain pouring out of her in one go.

His lips met hers softly hands cupping her face as the water continued stream down over them mixing with her tears that she had no control over.

"Shh, Caroline, I'm here, I know, I feel so much for you, after a billion years alone you are my love, my heart, my life. They will pay for causing you even a second's pain." He kissed her again. Taking her mouth as though starved of her. The taste of her filled him, calmed his soul.

"Nik, I need you now." Her voice breathless, as she struggled out of her sopping wet clothes, each item, hitting the shower floor with a thud.

He scooped her up in his arms as the last piece of clothing was gone and she was naked under his hands, that to her felt as though they were everywhere. Flashing them over to the bed, dropping her, soaking wet amongst the pillows she instisted on. She imediately pulled him to her, their lips fused together. "Forever mine" he growled. Animalistic and feral. His werewolf nature exciting the darkness on her vampire side. "Forever yours" she answered as he entered her soothing both of their souls. She met him thrust for thrust, her long legs wrapped around him tightly to pull him even closer. As she quickly reached the peak, she groped for his hands twined them with hers, looked into his crystiline blue eyes. He watched her eyes cloud over as her walls clamped around him as she came, his thrusts sped up, he collapsed a melted puddle as he followed her.

They lay there fully spent for what could have been several lifetimes for all they knew. "Guess we need another shower" he. Smiled into the crook of her neck, he still hadn't moved from where he had collapsed on her yet. Had no real intention of doing so either. He felt his calm centre had returned. All of her jumped up emotions had settled, he was always her answer. Their years together cementing the undenialable bond that neither had expected or wanted when it had been obvious from the very start.

Smack! She whacked his arse with all the stregnth she had, knew it would mark even his lord ship. "Move that incredable backside then" she caught his ear in between her teeth.

"If you insist" he rose up to his elbows looking down on her with a smirk and a glint in his sparkling blue eyes. Lowering his mouth to hers, he rotated his hips. Her back arched up off the bed as she felt him harden again inside of her.

Well they did have a few days apart from each other to catch up on.

Not much content to it, but pretty enough I think to have included it. Katherine and Elijah in the next chapter Whoooo
