Chapter 22

Caroline was swept up in Klaus' arms, being in his arms felt like a dream. She leaned her head back and extended her arms, she felt like she was flying. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to be in the moment. It was wonderful, she was a peacock extending her wings soaring in the sky. Klaus puled her close and flashed them to his large mansion. She opened her eyes and smiled; they were inside of Klaus' enormous bedroom. Klaus slammed the door behind them placing her gently onto the feather soft bed taking a few steps back.

Caroline giggled. He hovered over her and stared at her admiring all of her curves. She bit her lip in anticipation. She got on her knees and leaned forward displaying her ample chest just a little bit forward, more than was necessary.

Klaus smirked, "That's right sweetheart tell the original what you want." Klaus said softly allowing his accent to highlight each word.

Caroline felt her blood flood her senses' her heart was pounding uncontrollably in her chest. She watched him and knew she wanted him deep inside of her, but wanted allowed herself to play the game.

The werewolf inside of him thrived for the chase, it was intensifying every ounce of his being. He gave her a wolfish grin awaiting her answer.

"Klaus…" She said as she whispered a low plea. She slowly lifted the thin material pasted her chest allowing the glimmer of her skin to tease the animal in front of her. She smiled when she heard a low growl escape the mouth of the millennia old immortal.

Klaus froze as he watched inch by inch the supple skin of his beloved appeared before his lust filled eyes. He wanted to flash before her eyes and rip the insulting fabric from her. He resisted the urge he was over a thousand years old after all, this should not be such a task, but it was. He wanted to conqueror her completely make her his possession, his to own and to do with as he wished. His eyes darkened as she crawled on her hands and knees like a lamb to the slaughter.

Klaus bit his bottom lip allowing the tip of his human teeth to scrap his crimson lips. She was inches away from and he was ready to pounce. She pulled herself up crawling on top of him as her very own original ladder. He lowered his head and allowed his lips to brush against her naked flesh. She smirked as she felt a rush surround her skin. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled her body closer to his. He wrapped his arms around her a second later kidnapping her tongue with his own. She groaned in pleasure as she submitted to his dominant nature. His hands slithered underneath the back of her lacy bra unlooping it with the speed of a breath. She gasped as she lowered her hands and gripped the ends of his dark Henley with a pair of greedy hands. He lowered his head and placed a trail of softly wet kisses on the nape of her naked neck. She arched her back behind her giving the hybrid more skin to explore. He smirked in gratitude. His tongue teased and licked her neck leaving shivers running down her spine. He was pleased as her body jumped slightly. His fangs scraped her skin ever so softly.

"Ah…" She moaned as his fangs threatened to pierce her skin. Her fingers dug into his waist leaving nicks of blood and torn flesh underneath her grip. His skin mended quickly but the sting of her claws made him growl from the mixture of pleasure and pain. He pulled back as her blood pressure jumped into an exalted rhythm. "Caroline…." He whispered hoarsely.

Caroline ripped his Henley in half freeing him for her to devour. She massaged his back racking her nails down his spine painfully slow allowing time to disappear. Her hands continued exploring as she slid her fingertips underneath his deep blue jeans. She smiled when her hands found his tight bottom giving them a slight squeeze.

He hissed, "What are you doing to me…? " He raised his head and his blood shot eyes and double fangs questioned her. She bit into her lip allowing the rouge liquid to fall down her mouth. She circled her lips making an exaggerated pout as she gave him a slight shrug with her left shoulder. His grin darkened. He was falling into her trap and she knew it. She leaned her head closer to his and placed a feather soft kiss on his welcoming mouth. He froze enjoying her taunting banter. She leaned back and saw his eyes transform into two hauntingly golden orbs. She smiled as she saw him tremble slightly, she felt victorious making the almighty original hybrid submit to her. She was after all only a baby vampire, in the grand scheme of things, it was empowering. Her eyes scanned his bar chest and she leaned down and kissed his neck at first and continued until her lips found the center of his thorax. Her fingertips circled his chest. She felt his heart start to pound underneath her touch. She noticed his eyes glowed brighter with every pound of his heart. She snickered under her breath," So you do have a heart…"

Klaus narrowed his eyes for a second. "Every monster has a heart…" He uttered under his breath. "Even me…"

Caroline's smile disappeared as soon as Klaus' words fell on her ear. She looked into his sad eyes and regretted her words. His whole demeanor changed, he became distant. She placed both hands on the sides of his face and looked deep into his eyes. She saw the resistance in his face, "Klaus…"

Klaus gave her his signature smirk. He closed his eyes for a second and leaned into her hands. She smiled and gave him a feather soft kiss on his top lip and his bottom lip. He remained stoic; he refused to move enjoying the moment too much. Her soft hands traveled down his chest and stopped when she reached the top of his belt buckle. Her fingers played with his belt releasing him from his restraints. He bit his lip in anticipation. Her hands lowered his zipper and pulled his pants down slowly over his hips.

Caroline lowered her eyes and allowed her eyes to memorize the beauty that was before her. He was something to behold. She smiled, the devil before her was as deadly as he was sexy. She gave him a slight push and smirked when he landed on the bed before her with a soft thump. He leaned back slightly leaning on his arms. "What are you planning on doing with me, love?"

She walked slowly towards him and placed a finger on his lips. "Nothing good…" She bend on her knees and pulled his pants completely off. She pulled his boxers off and leaned in placing a soft kiss on the top of his aching member. He clenched his teeth trying to suppress a groin. She had barely touched him and he was about to bust. She heard his inner struggle and continued her torture. She placed a hand around his shaft and stroked him slowly from front to back and then from back to front again. She leaned in and crushed his mouth with hers, allowing her tongue to trace his lips before she plunged deeper into his mouth. He responded in turn, allowing all the passion he was suppressing to be released in this one moment. She moaned as she felt his heat melt all over her. Her hands moved faster matching the frantic beating of her heart. She was his and he would always be hers. He needed to touch her; he placed one of his hands on her naked chest. His hands cupped her breast releasing a hiss from Caroline's mouth. His fingers teased and gave her soft nipple a tug. She pulled her head back and moaned allowing his hands to wonder freely on her body. He leaned forward and kissed her neck softly at first. His tongue explored her neck leaving her breathless. Caroline felt ripples growing inside of her; she tightened her grip on Klaus' shaft stroking him faster and faster. He left out a growl; he was so close.

Caroline leaned close to him and nibbled the bottom of his earlobe. He leaned in her neck. Her heart started to pound faster and faster, she listened in as his blood started to pound louder with every wave of pleasure her hands were giving him. She wanted a taste, just a little one. Her fangs itched to pierce through her aching gums, she needed relief and she knew how to get it.

Klaus saw the need in her eyes and smirked, "Have at it love…" He said in a whisper. Caroline's eyes darkened with glee. In a flash, she was attached to his neck suckling his sweet nectar. Her fangs pierced deep into his neck drinking him in feeding her greedy need.

Klaus wrapped his arms around her bringing her close to him. He closed his eyes as he felt his body start to tremble. He clenched his teeth as he held back a final moan. Caroline watched him bite into his bottom lip he was so close, she leaned forward and placed her blood stained lips on his. His tongue licked and sucked her lips clean groining in ecstasy. He pulled his mouth away and hissed.

Caroline felt his shaft twitch and he released a final groin. He held Caroline close to him as she moved her hand back and forth gently allowing Klaus to reach the inevitable summit. Klaus gave Caroline a final growl before he loosened his grip on her. Caroline smiled and held Klaus tight listening to his breathing. She leaned into him and gave him another deep kiss unable to resist his momentary vulnerability. She knew as soon as he caught his breath he would be in control, but for now she was his master. Caroline watched his chest heave uncontrollably, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She placed soft kisses on his cheek and neck. She sighed watching him catch his breath. He closed his eyes as he held her close lazily inhaling her sweet smell. Her arousal had surrounded the air, making his hybrid senses go into overdrive.

Caroline watched Klaus' chest rise and fall. She laughed as she felt him pulled her onto the bed making her straddled him.

"What did you think I was done with you, love?" Klaus said breathless.

Caroline bite her bottom lip, "Good…I had hoped a thousand years would have taught you something…" Caroline said coyly.

Klaus grinned," Oh really love…is that right…" He leaned forward holding her close to him cupping her bottom giving them a rough squeeze. She giggled throwing her head back. His touch was maddening, sending shivers down her spine.

"Maybe…can I really ask an old dog new tricks…"Caroline said as she waited for him to retaliate.

Klaus smirked as he dove onto her unsuspected neck and attached her with bites using his human teeth at first before his fangs descended. "I'll show you what an original hybrid who has lived for over a millennia can do. " Klaus said as he allowed his hybrid face to show. Any other person would quiver in fear, but not Caroline. She did not fear him she faced him, challenged him with every look and gesture. He lunged his fangs into her neck sucking and drinking her in once again.

Caroline felt the sting of his fangs and closed her eyes compelling her hips to gyrate underneath his. She rocked back and forth until her wet core merged with his. He pulled his fangs away from her neck and released a guttural growl. Drops of blood ran down his chin, leaving a trail for Caroline's lust-filled eyes to follow. She licked her lips and attached the drops of scarlet orbs on his mandible. Klaus hands squeezed her hips holding her in place; she had taken the lead for far too long. He was the alpha in this moment and she would know it.

Caroline moaned softly as she held onto Klaus' shoulders. He was pounding into her mercilessly. She hissed and closed her eyes as pleasure and pain ripped through her. "Oh…yes…fuck…yes…"

Klaus' heart started pounding faster and faster with every feral thrust he inflicted onto her soaked core. "You like that don't you..."

Caroline hung her head back, "Yes…yes…" She felt her body start to buckle underneath her. She opened her eyes and froze as she saw his dark eyes transforming before her; the wolf inside of him was aching to be set free. "Yes…Niklaus…yes…"

Klaus was momentarily shocked as he heard her full name escape her lips. He grinned deeply; he liked it a lot.

Caroline felt him stiffen and continued to watch his reaction. Was it all right for her to use his given name? She had called him Niklaus before but it was when her emotions were off. Would he object? Caroline held him close to her hoping he would not notice her fears.

Klaus continued thrusting into her deeper and deeper making her whimper under the waves of passions. "Say it again, love?"

Caroline looked into his amber colored eyes. "Yes…yes…"

Klaus stopped moving and nearly growled at her, "No say my name, love…" His voice filled the room like a thunderbolt.

Caroline bit her lip and whispered, "Niklaus" every so softly.

Klaus pulled into her and plunged deep into her, "Nobody likes a tease, love…"

Caroline hissed as she felt him inside of her. She opened her legs wider longing for the pain once again. "I thought wolves like the chase…" She said seductively.

Klaus smirked giving Caroline a silent affirmation. He continued his movements increasing and decreasing his speeds inside of her. He watched her body tremble underneath his. He groined as the walls of her core tightened underneath her. Klaus closed his eyes and held her tight feeling himself submitting to her arousal.

Caroline knew she was close and saw him clench his teeth, he was holding back. "Niklaus…look at me…" Klaus looked up and saw her lips attach his. He moaned as she suppressed a scream with his mouth. His tongue teased hers caressing her sexual frenzy. He exhaled and released a breath, allowing him to fill her. He stiffened underneath her, Caroline pulled back rocked her hip slowly not wanting the pleasure to every stop. She rode out the waves until her body could not any longer. She laid in his arms limp, leaning on his shoulders to support her. Her chest was heaving profoundly. She closed her eyes and placed her head on his shoulders, "I love you, Klaus…" She said softly.

Klaus' eyes opened wide, did she just say what he thought she said. Did Caroline love him? What? No. It could not be. It was nothing, just a momentary utterance. Right? Shit. He listened to her breathing become more and more shallow. "Caroline…" Nothing. "Love…" Klaus sighed with relief she was asleep.

Klaus carefully placed her in the bed taking care not to wake her up. He covered her in his ebony colored fleece blanket placing a kiss softly on her forehead. He placed a stray curl behind her ear. His Caroline. She would be his. She would always be his. He gave her another kiss on the forehead before he went to the bathroom.

Caroline tossed and turned images of dark blue eyes, dimples, and a double set of fangs haunted her dreams. She moaned as she saw a pair of hands holding her tight. She turned and he was gone. She heard a howl in the distance. It was a white wolf calling the moon. She saw the wolf and found herself walking towards it. The more she walk towards the wild animal the further away the wolf became. She looked to her right and her left the wolf was gone. Where was he? Her legs started to run faster and faster she needed to find him. She had to find him. She stopped abruptly her legs started to buckle over. Her legs bent over breaking one by one; her arms then her back bent back hunching over making her hiss in pain. She screamed in agony. She fell down on her hands and knees growling in pain.

Klaus opened the hot water and stood underneath its warmth. He closed his eyes and leaned on the cold tiles. Caroline. Caroline. Her hands, her lips, her skin made him quiver, he felt himself harden again. Bloody fool. He felt like a bloody lad again, especially whenever she was near. He exhaled a mild groan; she had this way of making even the smallest moment complicated. She was a complication, a complication that he really didn't want or need right now. There were rumblings in NOLA that he needed to address. He was the immortal original hybrid, and everyone needed to know that. There was no room for doubt, weakness, or vulnerability. Caroline. What was he going to do with her? He could not leave her here, but he could not take her with him. She was only a baby vampire. She was vulnerable, a simple wooden stake to the heart and she would become ash. If anything happened to her, he did not know what he would do. With every hour they spend together she was becoming more and more important to him. "Caroline…" He turned his head and heard a faint sound coming from the bedroom. He turned off the water and listened to the muffled cry. He crept out of the bathroom and froze in horror. Caroline was thrashing in the covers grunting and panting in pain. He flashed to her side holding her; she was having night terrors.

Caroline pulled and pushed herself in the bed. "No…arg…" She was on her knees twisting and contorting in pain. She hugged her shoulders digging her nails into her flesh. Klaus held Caroline's hands still. She was still trying to dig into her arms, as if she needed to tear her skin apart. "Love…its okay…" Klaus held her close calming down her frenzied movements. "Caroline…love…its okay…" He gently rocked her back and forth. Caroline heard her name and opened her eyes, "Klaus…" She whispered.

"Shush…it's alright, love. I'm here…everything is going to be alright." Klaus said as he brought her close laying her head on his shoulder. He caressed her hair, entangling his index and middle finger through a long curly strand of hair. She wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes. "Klaus, what's going on? What is going on?"

Klaus frowned for a second. What was she talking about? "Love…it was just a nightmare…wasn't it…?" He pulled her back making her look at him. "Love…"

Caroline looked up and started shaking her head. "Klaus…I… it was so real…"

Klaus nodded. "What? Is it Silas?"

Caroline looked down and shook her head. "No…it was the wolf…I was chasing a white wolf into the woods. I tried to go to him but I just couldn't…then the moon was full…and I felt…I felt…." Caroline looked away. She was starting to feel a little silly.

Klaus lifted her chin with his forefinger. "Love, what is it…what did you feel…?"

Caroline bit the side of he lip. "I…I…felt like I was turning…"

"Turning?" Klaus said a bit confused.

"Yes…I felt like I was turning…I felt my limbs breaking…I was turning into a…."

"Hybrid…?" Klaus said sternly.

Caroline got up and started to pace back and forth. She rubbed her hands on her shoulders. "What are you talking about, Klaus…? I can't be…."

In a blink of an eye, Klaus was by her side. He held her shoulders. He stared into her eyes waiting until she relaxed enough to look into his eyes. "Caroline…everything will be alright."

Caroline looked up into the deep pool of concern in Klaus' face. She should have felt comfort but she didn't. She smiled at first, giggling slowly until her laughter made her shout out loud. Klaus clenched his teeth. She was overreacting a bit off. He knew she had turned her emotions on, but there was something off. She threw her head back and roared with laughter. She unlatched her shoulders from his claws and stood in front of her. She placed her hands on her hips looking at him square in the face. ""Everything will be alright, love…?" She said in a mocked admiration.

Klaus laced his hands behind his back. He raised his brow and gave her an identical mock smirk.

"I…am having nightmares about a werewolf chasing me …and your talking about hybrids…what are you saying...that I am turning into a hybrid…."

"I don't know love, but I think you are overreacting a bit…"

"Fuck you…Klaus…" Caroline roared.

Klaus watched her as her eyes morphed from the clear blue to a pair of golden orbs.

"Caroline…." But as soon as he said that she was gone.
