From Ashes To Embers(Klaus Mikaelson)

Chapter 37

   "You know, I'm surprised you didn't try to go with Stefan," Klaus sits back down beside me, ignoring Ray's grunts of pain due to the darts stuck in his body.

   I sigh, "Why would I?"

   "I thought you would have welcomed a couple of hours away from me. To see your friend Damon, maybe even try and run from me."

   "What can I say? I'm not feeling very.. energetic today."

   "Because of out little late night chat?" he asks. I don't need to look at him to tell he has a big smirk plastered on his face.

   "No, because I might as well have been sleeping on the floor last night. That bed wasn't comfortable."

   "Oh, you should have mentioned it, sweetheart. Had I known, I would've had no problem with letting you into my bed. Mine was very comfortable."

   I say nothing, giving him a look that has been foul enough to scare off men in the past. He only smiles wider. "You wouldn't have liked that, no?"

   "Are you going to finish with the wolf or not?" I ask, changing the subject.

   "Well now you're just changing the subject, sweetheart." He leans in close, so that I can feel his breath on my ear. It sends shivers down my spine. "I know you would've wanted to," he whispers.

   I stand up, no longer being able to control myself, pretend he doesn't affect me. "You know, you're very lucky that you're an immortal hybrid. Otherwise I would have killed you long ago." I walk over to Ray and start to pull the darts out of him.

   Klaus chuckles, "Don't I know, sweetheart."

   "Well you clearly don't, seeing as you continue to try and rile me up constantly. Just so you know, you're skating on thin ice."

   "So it's working, then? I'm successfully riling you up?"

   "I never said that."

   "What are you doing?" Klaus asks with a frown, only now realizing now how close I am to Ray.

   "I'm finishing Stefan's job. Seeing as you're too lazy to do it yourself." He looks like he's about to argue but then says nothing and sits down. I turn to Ray.

   "I'm sorry about my friends. They're fond of the more violent route," I tell Ray, smiling slightly with a doe eyed look.

   "You don't have very nice friends. What's a pretty girl like you doing with the two of them?"

   I smile, "I didn't really have a choice."

   "Just like I don't have a choice in this. Well are you gonna take your friend's chains off me, or leave them cut off my blood circulation?"

   "What can I say? I enjoy the sight of a man tied up in front of me," I smirk flirtatiously.

   "Oh, I bet you do, baby," Ray replies, a small smirk on his face. I bend down to pick up a fallen dart off the floor, giving Ray a perfect view of my cleavage in my low cut top.

   "Keep your eyes looking upwards if you want them to remain in your head, mate," Klaus practically growls from behind me. I look back at him and smirk at his angry, jealous face. I lean into Ray to whisper in his ear.

   "Tell me where your pack is and I'll show you how much nicer than my friends I can really be." I pull back to look at him. He looks at me with lust-filled eyes.

   "Will you untie me if I tell you?"

   "Most definitely. I'll even let you keep the chains. Maybe you can have a turn of tying me up," I smile seductively at him.
