Crave (TVD Fanfiction)

10.

After that dramatic reunion, Klaus asked me to stay with him. I think he wanted someone near him who didn't have a problem with him.

We laid together in his bed. My dress that I'd worn earlier was on the floor. I was naked, laying on top of Klaus who had nothing but his boxers on. Our legs were tangled together and he had a hand over my lower back.

Neither of us spoke as laid  in silence, occasionally dozing off and then waking up again to kiss.

"They were wrong" I murmured, breaking the silence.

"Hm?" he hummed, trailing his fingers up and down my spine and giving me goosebumps. I lifted up my head to make eye contact with him.

"Your siblings. They were wrong. Even if they all leave you will still have me and even my kids. They love you" I said confidently.

Earlier, I'd let my kids speak with Klaus over the phone and they interrogated him like I knew they would. He took it well though. Once I'd gotten phone back after they spent hours talking to him (literally) they told me that they loved him for me. Surprising, huh?

Klaus stared at me with a tender look in his eyes that I couldn't explain. All I knew was that the way he was looking at me made me feel special, like I was his only and he was my only. Like I was his treasure. He brought his hand up to move a strand of hair out of my face before stroking my cheek with his thumb, "I love you"

I froze at those three words, my eyes looking into his intently as if to gauge his sincerity.

He smiled (at my reaction probably) and lightly ran his fingers up and down my spine again. "You don't have to say it back now, sweetheart. I know it's probably early but I just wanted to put that out there for you to know"

I smiled back at him, "I love you too."

This time he was the one that froze up. His eyes widened as he looked back at me.

"You're not just saying that because I said it, are you? I'll snap your neck if you aren't serious"

I shook my head with a smile, "Not before I break every bone in your body, hun" I laughed. Then my laugh died down as I grew serious "I am in love with you Niklaus Mikaelson"

A smile grew on his face, so wide that both his dimples appeared and I found joy in it. He leaned forward and placed his lips next to mine, kissing me slowly and passionately as if to cherish the moment.

When he pulled away, he looked at me with love in his eyes. "You are so beautiful" he breathed out, cradling my cheek.

I leaned into his hand and brought my hand over his, "And you are a marvelous creation" I responded.

"I think you're describing yourself" he chuckled, placing his forehead against mine. I laughed and kissed the tip of his nose before roughly pushing him away.

"No one cares what you think"

He arched an eyebrow and smirked devilishly, "Oh really?"

"Yes" suddenly he flipped us over and I found myself pinned underneath him, my wrists 'shackled' by his hands.

"You want to repeat that, love" he said, leaning down to place kisses over my neck. I moaned when he kissed my sweet spot.

"I said...no one cares what you think" I said, breathlessly.

He then proceeded to punish me in the way he knew best...*wink*

I woke up the next morning to the sun shining on my face. I felt a weight over my hip and warmth against my back..
