chapter 17 'we need to talk'

Klaus' pov

I smirk to myself as my brush glides across my canvas, painting a dark and twisted photo that only I could understand the meaning of.
My mind goes back to the previous nights events. My smirk grows as I remember the feeling of Caroline's lips against mine, the feeling of her body heat radiating onto mine. If only her brothers had not of got there before I had the chance to ravish and worship her body the way she deserves.
Usually I would just take what I wanted, when I wanted it. But I can't bring myself to do that with Caroline. She's different, I love the twinkle in her eyes, I love the way she can let loose. I especially love the way that she stands up to me, not letting her fear show easily. She's strong, independent and so beautiful. I find myself craving to get to know her, for her to let her guard down around me and let me in.
I hum to the soft classical melody playing in the background and sigh in content. I hear the loud chime of our doorbell ringing throughout our household. I smirk, knowing who that's going to be. After a minute I hear light footsteps making their way towards my study and the pounding of a fast beating heart. It's her. As my door opens I don't turn around, I carry on painting.
"Hello Caroline" I speak softly.
"Klaus" she says in a stone cold tone. I put my paintbrush down and turn to face her, smirking. She stands tall, with her head held high. Anyone would think that she's not nervous, perfectly fine, but I know the truth. She's scared and nervous. I can hear the rapid beating of her heart and I can see her clutched hands shaking slightly.
"What can I do for you love" I pause for a second and then smile at her. "Maybe you came to carry on what was interrupted last night?" She pulls her infamous 'are you serious' face and folds her arms over her chest.
"Well you can think again." She pauses for a moment before she lets her arms hang down my her sides again and let's out a sigh. "We need to talk Klaus"
I put one of my fingers up, signalling for her to hold on moment. I turn back to my canvas, pick up my paint brush and carry on painting. After a few seconds of silence I hear her sigh once again and her soft footsteps approaching me. She stops when she's at my side, facing my canvas. We stand in silence for a few seconds longer before she speaks up.
"It's beautiful" she says softly, I turn to look at her for a few seconds, her face is soft, less tense now, she has a slight smile as she admires my painting. I smile at the look of her before looking back to the canvas and resuming my painting. "Does it represent anything? Any deep meaning?" She questions, her curiosity showing.
"It represents my demons that I have to fight everyday, it shows that despite the fact that I am surrounded by people, I have never felt more alone." I pause for a second before pointing towards the only bright swirl surrounded by darkness, standing out the most. "But this, this represents you Caroline. The one piece of light and hope in my life that makes it worth while." She stays silent for a minute, taking in the description I just gave her. She turns away from the painting, turning to face me.
"Look Klaus, you seem like an okay guy, but not for me. What happened last night was a drunken mistake that won't happen again. We can be friends, but that's it. Nothing more." I chuckle to myself. Her words triggering something inside of me. I put my paintbrush down and turn to face her.
" can you really say that you feel nothing towards me Caroline? Not even a slight attraction?" She shakes her head, denying it. I take a step closer to her, closing the space between us. "So if I was to do this.." I say while placing my hand on her cheek, rubbing my thumb over her cheek softly. "You won't feel anything?" She shakes her head slowly, staring into my eyes. I know she's lying, her heart just sped up as soon as I touched her. "Or if I do this" I say while gripping her waist with my other hand, pulling her against my body. She shakes her head again, still denying it. " what about if I do this..." I whisper before slowly leaning closer into her, now if either of us breath or move in the slightest, our lips would touch. I look into her eyes for a second before closing the gap between us and pressing my lips against hers. I hear her heartbeat stop for a second before carrying on at a rapid pace.
It takes her a few seconds to respond, her arms wrapping around the back of my neck, gripping onto the back of my hair, her mouth moving against mine now. I smirk into the kiss, loving the affect I have on her. I move her backwards until her back hits the brick wall. The kiss gets more and more heated as it goes along, our tongues dance together in perfect sync as she pulls my hair slightly and my grips on her waist tightens.
I separate our lips, quickly moving mine down to kiss her neck softly, I feel her pulse beating rapidly against my lips and suddenly feely hunger rise. I can just compel her to forget. Just one little taste. I run my tongue over her vein, sucking slightly on her soft skin making her release a small whine, near enough to a moan.
I push my fangs out of my gums, my eyes turning a yellowish orange, the colour for a hybrid. I pierce my fangs into her neck, making her scream in pain. As I drink the first bit of her blood, my throat starts to burn, to the point where it feels like it's about to catch on fire. Vervain. I immediately pull away from her and fall to the floor, coughing repeatedly, clutching my throat as the burning starts to fade. I glare up at her as she stares at me in shock and fear.
She uses this chance to quickly look at me once more before running past me and out of the house. I slowly stand up, feeling my anger boil. I glare around the room, she knows about us. She's using my attraction to her to get to my family. I slam my fist into the closest thing near me, which happens to be a wall, creating a big hole in the wall.
If she ever tries to kill me or my family, attracted to her or not, I will kill her.
