Lady Bennett – Flashback, The night of the Wedding

She could feel his gaze upon her for nearly half of the night. Lady Bennett knew that she must keep her attention on her bride, but she could not tear her gaze away from him.

She recognized his features and knew that he was in relation to the King. His behavior seemed more outgoing and uninhibited than anyone else in the room. She knew that this was the type of person she was warned to stay away from.

She glanced away for one moment only to find that he was now standing in front of her with his hand extended.

"Lady Bennett?" His question came out as more of a demand than anything.

"Are you asking me to dance?"

"My hand is extended towards you, Lady Bennett." He smirked at her. "What do you think?"

She glared at him, not willing to give into his thoughtless behavior. "I think you are a rude."

She turned away from him not allowing him to look upon her face.

"Want to know what I think, Lady Bennett?"

She ignored him not completely sure why he was frustrating her the way he was. She was most certainly snubbing the relative of the King. Yet Lady Bennett was sure that her actions amused this man rather than insulted him.

"I think you should –"

"I didn't ask what you were thinking."

"I thought that it was implied." He placed his hand on his chest, pretending to act offended. "Maybe I should do this the proper way?"

"Maybe you should." She slowly turned her gaze back to him.

"Lady Bennett." He grinned. "My name is Kol Mikaelson. I am also King's brother. Now Lady Bennett would you please do me the honor of dancing with me?"

She felt her chest flutter a bit. She didn't realize how close his relation to the King was. She quickly pushed that thought away and decided to stand her ground.

"I believe that my card is full, Duke. Maybe another time?" She quickly pushed her chair out and left the room.

She made it a point not to look back. Lady Bennett knew that she would not refuse the Duke a second time if he asked.

Caroline rolled onto her back as a small light found its way into the King's chambers. Klaus instinctively wrapped his arm around Caroline's torso and pulled her close to his side.

Caroline stretched her arms above her head causing her back to arch. The King's eyes fluttered open and looked up at his future Queen.

He placed a slow kiss underneath her rib cage. "Good morning, my love."

"Good morning, my King."

He moved his body so that he could grip her waist with both of his hands. "You look absolutely exquisite this morning." He slowly pulled the sheet off of her body and placed another kiss on her navel.

"Klaus." Her voice dropped an octave. He kissed up the middle of her torso before he went left and slowly placed a kiss on her breast.

He made a path of kisses from her inner breast to the center of her nipple. He flicked his tongue against it causing her to let out a low moan. He did it again causing her to force the same sound out of her beautiful voice.

His other hand traveled to her other breast and grabbed the hardened peak. He rolled her nipple in between his thumb and forefinger. This elicited a reaction that was well expected from his wife, but also very surprising at the same time.
