Klaus opened his eyes to see the covers of the bed were strewn about, and he looked beside him to see his wife sleeping peacefully, her arm slung across his torso.
He grinned to himself, feeling a shred of happiness as he picked her arm up, careful not to wake her, kissed the back of her hand and got out of the bed.
Once he was dressed, he made his way downstairs and Rebekah greeted him.
"So did you compel her to drop her knickers for you out of spite or is she just that desperate for your forgiveness?" She asked him and he stopped walking and looked at her.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said it, trying not to smirk.
"I wasn't born yesterday, Nik. I know the difference between sleeping and sex. You two are now sharing a bed. And you're known to go at it like rabbits with not a care in the world concerning who hears you. Wouldn't surprise me if all of New Orleans heard you...well, her, at least." She gave him a sarcastic smile and he put his hands behind his back and raised his brows.
"You will be intrigued to know that I did not have to compel her to get into bed with me." He told her and she cocked her head at him. "Matter of fact, the only thing I did have to compel her to do, after she begged me to do so, was to stop ignoring how she felt about me and the sire bond obviously came back with her loyal devotion and heart warming dedication to her husband."
"You didn't." Rebekah hissed at him.
"I didn't necessarily want to, Bekah. She was crying and begging and though I am very, very, immune to mercy or pity...I'm not heartless. I didn't enjoy seeing my dear Vafara in such pain from having to see me every single day and being so close, yet having no desire to act on her emotions because she couldn't help but suppress them."
"It's not her bloody emotions that are keeping her tethered to you it's that bond and you know it!"
"Actually," Hayley started and they both looked at her. "She was telling me about all of the crazy shit she did with Klaus in her first few hundred years as a vampire. She said the bond doesn't affect how someone feels, just how they act. And Elijah talks a lot about her in his journals, trying to find a way to break her bond with Klaus. He asked Celeste, that witch he had a thing for a couple hundred years ago, and she told him a sire bond between vampires is only formed when the human the vampire turns has a very strong emotional attachment to them. Not trying to defend Klaus at all, but she had to be in love with Klaus before he turned her." Hayley explained and Rebekah looked at Klaus who continued looking at the wolf.
"Thank you, Hayley." He motioned to her. "See, sister, I'm not completely retched. The girl already loved me. I just happened to cement that love into eternity...and we didn't do anything last night. It would've been quite selfish of me to tire her out more being that she's already exhausted after fighting with Marcellus for the last one hundred years."
Rebekah scowled and cut her eyes at him.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a sleeping beauty to go wake up." He grinned as he left them.
Vafara was staring at the ceiling when she heard Klaus coming into the bed room. She sat up, watching as he came in.
"Good morning." He said smoothly and she smiled.
