Festive Mood

Festive Mood

Klaus walks into his home. A green bottle of champagne still carrying with him.

Katherine turns hearing the door open. She looks at him wearing a stunning red dress.

" Hello Klaus. It's a nice evening tonight."

Klaus sighs. " Hello Katerina, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Chicago. I don't know fooling around with
my brother Kol or something." his smiled waned

" Kol left. And I thought I'd come for a visit. Care to take a stroll with me? " she jerked her head towards the door.

" I rather not. Since I just came back from taking one. Now I just want to sit and drink in silence."
He walked to the sofa enjoying the glistening of the fireplace roaring in sight. Then he sat on his black leather sofa drinking the now almost half empty champagne bottle.

" Mind if I sit? "

" Why not? This night can't get much worse."

Katherine sat down next to Klaus setting the wine bottle behind her and holding two champagne glasses.
" Well somebody needs a drink." Katherine muttered.

" I already have one." he held up his champagne bottle already half gone.

" I meant a real one." she said looking into his eyes that blazed. " Unless you prefer this wonderfully tasty wine I stole." She grinned opening it up and pouring herself a glass.
Klaus dropped the champagne bottle and waited for Katherine to pour the wine into the other glass for him.
" Did you steal it from my liquor cabinet? " he raised an eyebrow at her.
" No. I stole it when I took a little trip to Italy for a day." she smiled.
Klaus took the bottle giving it a good whiff.
He grinned back at her smelling the delicious scent coming from the wine. Then handed it back to her.

" Actually things could get worse." Katherine took back the wine bottle.
" What could, sweetheart? " he crossed his leg over his other thigh turning to face Katherine.
" I didn't just come back for a visit." she poured the wine into the second glass.
He tilted his head at her " Why am I not surprised."
"You see along my visit to see you I brought somebody back with me for the holiday."
" And who would that be? " He leaned his head onto his palm where his arm laid on top of the sofa.
Katherine handed him his glass." Rebekah of course."
Klaus looked up towards the ceiling as he answered her " Again, not surprised."
" I didn't undagger her. I swear." She held her finger up defensively.
He laughed in his glass " I believe you." he said before going to take a sip. She sighed.
Katherine tilted her head slightly with a slight grimace on her face " Except.."
Klaus stopped again from drinking the glass of wine Katherine gave him, looking at her
" Except what...?"

" ...Stefan stole her coffin some days ago." she drank the wine nervously waiting for his response.

Klaus drank saying " Yet again I'm not surprised by that one, either."
" But I see why you would be concerned about it. After all I did tell you to stay in Chicago with her body. " he swirled the glass of wine looking at it for a second before looking to her to say " Is that all you dropped by to say."
Katherine looked at him slightly confused. " You're not mad."

" I am. But I already knew that. As I finished chopping off one of the heads of my newly unsired hybrids. I saw Rebekah's coffin lying there in the middle of the tunnel." he motioned with his wine glass.

" Is that why you look like such a bloody mess, tonight? " she asked.

He laughed feeling a bit hysterical before saying to her " I'm always a bloody mess, Katerina."

Katherine frowned " That's not what I meant, Klaus. You know that."

He didn't respond to her statement. Instead he asked her " Why are you really still here Katerina? Trying to get some information from me so you can help desiccate me with the rest of them.' he stood up pointing his arm towards the direction of the front door " I would of guessed after telling me about Rebekah you would have left by now."

" You answer my question first and I'll answer yours next." she said patiently waiting.

" Fine. To answer your question my pack of hybrids secretly planned to unsire themselves and successfully did with the help of Tyler and his bitch Hayley. Then planned another secret meeting to have me killed tonight. But unexpectedly found out about their rebellious act and I went to the woods with them and slaughtered every single one of them. Except for Tyler who couldn't be found at the time. So I killed his mother instead. And now you know.' Klaus drank from his glass then turned to her " So again, why are you really here Katerina?"

Katherine frowned. Her forehead creasing as she heard Klaus bitter story till the end. Then she looked at his face and watched the shadowed flames dancing off his grimed look. " I'm here because I want to be."

Klaus sarcastically laughed. " Right. You sure you didn't just give Stefan my sister and then come here tonight to help be part of some assassination plan they have in store for me while playing the part of some tool of distraction. Sorry but that won't work for a third time. Especially considering if it was Damon's or Stefan's plan. That part has already been played for today. And if you are trying to kill me. Get in line for my revenge. Because Tyler already has it already coming from me."

Katherine set her glass down.

" Slow down there hybrid." She held her hands up defending herself from the on slaught.

" I'm not here as some distraction for some assassination plan to kill you Klaus. And I haven't seen Damon since I got here. Since when did you and Stefan have a fall out? Plus I'm here because I want to be. And who did they have to distract you from noticing...' shook her head with a tense smile " Caroline. I should of guessed."

Katherine placed her hands on her hips tilted back and forth on her heels.
" Daring I'd have to say. Damon and or Stefan that's so like them to use whatever they can."

Katherine sighed. Then she put her hands on Klaus's shoulders seeing him looking at her warily.

" Come on Klaus have a seat. You need another drink. We both do."

She lowered herself down pulling him down to sit with her.
He did so still cautiously looking at her wondering until Katherine spoke " Truthfully. I'm here because I thought you'd
be lonely. No one deserves to spend the near holidays alone. That's why I brought Rebekah.' she scoffed " I just didn't expect Stefan to stab me in the back and steal her coffin." she picked up her glass finishing it off.

" Neither did I, love, when he did so with me either.' Klaus pours Katherine another glass of wine.
She held it out expecting to wait for Klaus to finish his sentence. " Not literally of course. If he had I would have snapped his neck." he replied filling her glass half way.

" Of course." she slightly smiled at him amusingly. Her glass almost tipping sideways all the way.

Seeing Katherine smile at him so amusingly while the wine in her glass nearly spilled onto his floor Klaus knew that his usually quietly submissive doppelganger when he was in one of his tempers was immediately drunk.

He wondered just how many glasses of wine Katherine must of drank when he wasn't looking while he told her what happened to him that night. Unless that's the reason she acted brave enough to come here tonight. She drank earlier before coming to face me. That seems more likely the case here.
Klaus set his glass aside and stood up holding his hand out " Katerina. Would you care to dance with me? "

" Why? " she asked still unknowingly smiling.

" Just to pass the time." he added softly " You know we didn't really dance much back then when we were in England."

" Sure. I don't see why not." she stood up taking his hand. " But first, you need to take a shower to get all this blood off of you." she looked him down and up noticing the blood on his hair and his face and then looked back at the big blood stain on his shirt. Then she added " Because I'm not getting blood on this fabulous dress I'm wearing."
she held her arms out for him to see.
" Fair enough. Will dance after I shower. "
" And I'll go look in your closet to find you something to wear." she started to walk away.

Before Klaus allowed her to walk away he grabbed Katherine's hand admiringly telling her as she turned to look at him
" By the way Katerina. You look lovely tonight. Almost like the first time we met."

She laughed " You don't need to flatter me Klaus. I'll still be here. Well no, wait. I'll be in your room rummaging through your clothes to find you something decent to wear as you take your shower."

" No peeking."

" I'm not sure I could keep that promise since I'll be bringing you the clothes. Unless of course I decide to just leave them on your bed. And get myself another drink."

Katherine turned away as he let go her hand.

" Truthfully.' Klaus began. Katherine turned her head. " You do look ravishing in that dress, sweetheart.
It suits you like you were made to wear it. Personally I prefer the flowing dresses you used to wear they made you seem
angelic. Even though we know you're truly not." he smiled.

" Thank you Klaus. I think that's the best compliment you've ever paid me. Hmm." she turned her head back and walked away heading towards the spiral staircase.

" Which part? " Klaus curiously asked. Leaning against the spiral staircases' railing he waited for her to turn her head
and look at him. When she did. She smiled to herself.

" I'm not telling dear. Now go before I change my mind about that dance." she said
walking up the stairs. Klaus sped past her yelling out " Fine you win for now.' hearing the hall ringing from his
voice at the top of the stairs he looked down towards her coming up near the middle of the staircase.
Standing there with one hand holding onto the railing as if reminding him that she still remembered that she was once human.

" You always were such a tease Katerina." he smirked at her.

Katherine said nothing in response to his playfulness and waited as he walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. Hearing him get into the shower she did finish climbing up the stairs. But sped hurriedly looking through his closet. Searching for the perfect outfit that would satisfy him she laid them onto his bed. After she was done picking out his clothes Katherine looked at his room smirking to herself. Then she headed back downstairs pouring herself another glass of wine and waited for Klaus to appear.

He did adding one more thing to her not selection of clothing he was wearing. A tie.

“ Your wearing a tie.” she pointed standing up with her wine glass.
“ I am. Now how do I look?” he asked her waiting.
“ Dashing as always.”
“ That's what I like to hear.”
“ But why?” she pointed at the tie.
“ So I can match the outfit your wearing. It would be insulting of me to not properly dress to match how you look.”
“But you didn't wear anything I picked.”
Klaus smiled “ I know. That was because you picked something too casually for me to wear. So I picked something more formally properly attired.” he picked up the remote and turned on the music.
“ For a dance.” she set her glass down.
“ Entertain me. Katerina.” He held out his hand and she took it.
Klaus put her hand in his and placed his other hand on her waist.
She heard the music realizing what it is “ A slow dance.”
“ What else would we be dancing to dress like this?”
“ I don't know a tango?”
“If you would like.” he tipped her back.
“ No. Not really.” she said as he brought her back up.

They continued dancing to a few slow dances in their time.

Dancing to the music with Klaus brought back memories and feelings between them. Ones that were suppose to be long forgotten. Katherine tried breathing slowly to forget but the way Klaus kept looking at her made it hard for her to forget at all.

“ Klaus.” she looked into his eyes “ I know I said I'd stay tonight but maybe I should go.”
“ Why? Since were having ourselves a truce tonight.” He walked towards her, she backed herself away next to the fireplace's wall.

“I know but I think this truce is becoming too close for us to handle.”

Klaus lay his palm on her cheek “ And since when did too close become something we can't handle.” he said after he had stroked her cheek with his finger.

Katherine touched his hand meaning to pull it away from his face but couldn't being drawn into his eyes. “Don't play with my words.” Then she looked away. “ You're lonely and drunk...'
“ Yes. I am. But so are you what are you trying to imply here?” he asked.
“...and ' she continued as if not hearing him speak “you had a rough night.”
“ Go on.” he said feeling a bit annoyed.
“ So wouldn't it be wise to not do something we both might later regret.”
“ And if I don't regret it.” he replied easily enough.

“ Klaus I don't do well with vulnerable men.” she looked down then up into his eyes
“and you know that.” she replied back with a bit of softness in her voice.

“ I'm trying to be nice here and you're not making it easy.” she fumed.

Klaus placed his hand above her head onto the thick wall.
“ Well then I'm sorry to tell you, love, but I don't want easy. I want you.” he stared back into her face. Then looked back up. A frown upon his face then moved his arm out of the way.
Katherine looked at him. Quietly she said “ I'm sorry Nikl. I can't do this anymore.”
Klaus grabbed her arm before she could step away “Katerina, what did you just call me?”
She kept her back facing him “ I didn't meant it.” she tried to move but Klaus turned her to face him “ Yes you did.” He bent down to kiss her but her eyes made him stop so he pressed her against the wall and kissed below her ear then trailed kisses down her neckline. A memory flowed through their minds the scene seeming familiar to them both. “ Klaus please don't. I can't.”
Influenced by the moment as if repeating itself Klaus continued as if relieving the moment over again.
“ Katerina.” he whispered softly.
Katherine shook in his arms. “ Shh sweetheart. I'm not going to hurt you.” he whispered softly in her ear.
Klaus gently bit into her neck through Katherine's skin drawing the blood from her vein. He licked the blood until it healed. As he was about to repeat the action he heard her gasp. Smiling to himself until he realized that it wasn't from pleasure but from the pain of not being able to breathe.
Klaus cursed himself for the fact that he even forget that he was now a full blooded hybrid.
“ Sweetheart. I'm sorry I forgot.” he drew his nail down his neckline drawing blood. He brought her head close to his neck. “ Have at it.” Katherine didn't hesitate to lick the line of blood she saw flowing down his neckline. She licked it up quickly. Then stood up fast away from him.
“I was lost in the memory.” he said apologetically he could.
“I know that. That's why I tried to stop you.”
“ You didn't drink any vervain recently.” he said sounding a bit shocked.
“ I know that too.” she raised her eyebrow at him.
Klaus watched her lick her lips clean “ Maybe you didn't have enough?”
She watched him close “ It'll do. It's healing.”
“Instead ' she swallowed “I want you to compel me to forget what I said.”
“No.” he frowned.
“I can't do this Klaus. I think I should leave now. But this time I am asking you to instead of you doing it. You owe me.”

He heaved a heavy sigh. Katherine noticed it to be a sign of him giving in.
So she decided to push him a little harder.

“Compel me to forget what I called you up to the point of me telling you I'm leaving. And then ask me a question. One you know that will tick me off so I don't become suspicious of the fact that you might of compel me to forget something.”

Klaus bitterly did as she asked pressing Katherine against the wall “You will forget the scene we just had when you used to call me in the past up to the point before telling me that you are going to leave. You will not remember this until I say when.”

“Fine then. Leave if you must.” He stepped back so she could move forward away from the wall. Klaus paced a bit then walked back to her before she decided to disappear on him again.
“ But first tell me something before you decide to leave Katerina.”

Klaus took a sip of wine then handed Katherine the glass. She replied that she would and took a sip herself handing him back the glass. He took it from her grasp settling back down on top of the fireplace.
“ So why did you let Damon go? What did you say to him to make him leave you?”

“ That isn't any of your business.” she stood with her hands on her hips.

Klaus picked up the wine glass again and walked up to her fiercely “What you do is my business? And will always be my business as long as you still are alive and owe me.” he seethed at her gritting his teeth.

Her arms swayed showing Klaus she gave up “ Told him never loved him.”

Klaus sighed irritated at her “ I don't believe you. There's something you're still not telling me Katerina.” he threw the glass into the fireplace.

Katherine tried not to jump hearing the glass shatter close to her in the fireplace. Hearing it break down into the flames burning away she tried to focus on Klaus's face giving nothing away.
He noticed her becoming nervous just like he always had before.

Klaus punctuated each words carefully with a lilt of a threat behind them pointing out the twisted truth between them to Katherine to get his meaning.

“ Do not lie to me. You see we both know that we like to play with words with other people. And that we seem to lie but are in fact twisting the truth a bit to satisfy are own means and desires. But we cannot lie in front of each other. Not unless we are omitting and hiding from each other what we don't want to be seen, heard, or noticed.” he seethed.

He finished watching Katherine's face not faltering behind the understanding of his words. Klaus surely was not disappointed at her lack of a response.

“Now let's try this again, shall we sweetheart. Truthfully tell me what you told Damon.”
Katherine looked him in the face “ You're forgetting one thing. We like to fool are own selves with are own lies so we don't have to trust the truth.”
“ Isn't that a given.” He sarcastically laughed at her honest statement.
“ I told Damon I never loved him. And that it would never be him.”
“ Now why would you lie to him? Was it in fact because you thought that I would might have killed him if I found out.” he said picking up Katherine's glass of wine.

Klaus sat down and drank it putting his feet on top of the table in front of him.
She stole it back from him taking a gulp as she sat herself down.

“Because I thought possibly he might have been sired to me after trying to
figure out how to get me out of a cave I wasn't even in for 150 years. Until later Elijah showed up and trapped me in it.”

Katherine shook the wine glass annoyed.
Klaus took it from her grasp to keep her from snapping the stem off.
“ Elijah trapped you in a cave.” he laughed at her gleefully stealing her glass, filling it with wine and drank it still laughing. Katherine ignored his comment.
“So I let Damon go.” She turned her eyes on Klaus.
“ Here I would have thought you would have used him as a pawn. Or were you afraid that he would lay down his life for you if you had asked him too?”
Klaus gave Katherine back the glass allowing her to take a sip before answering him.
“ I rather have not found out.” she said tonelessly.
She swirled the wine inside the glass before handing it back to him.
“ I wouldn't laugh. It was a cave that no vampire would dare to enter because they can't get out.” she grinned watching his response.
“Yes which would have been the perfect place to put you there since I can leave seeing that I am a hybrid. Too bad the spell had been broken before I got there.” Klaus looked at her and grinned “I would have found it quite useful.”

Katherine's lips thinned in a pout. Then picked up again in a smile after she told him

“Yes but then if the spell hadn't been broken Stefan would have still been trapped there with me. Of course I had a little bit of an insurance to make certain I could get out.”

“ Which I'm guessing probably was my moonstone.” he tilted the glass then sipped it.
Handing it over to Katherine.
“ Not exactly. But something like that.” she tilted her head and laughed.

She took another sip asking Klaus “ Why are you still so grumpy? Or is this the drunk Moody Klaus?”
“ So onto Stefan. What did you tell him?”
“What makes you think I told him anything?”

“Come on sweetheart there isn't a city big enough that would have Stefan not hate you for trying to sacrifice Elena for my ritual, unless you told him something.”

“ I told him I loved him and that I loved Damon too right after he told me that I cared for no one but myself.”

Katherine sighed then scooted closer to Klaus to grab the wine bottle from him. Pouring the wine into the glass she asked him.

“Since we're being honest here. Why did you lie to me about Bavaria?”
“Ah so you found out about Italy did you. Is that why you were there?”
“No. It's just one of my favorite places to go to.”
“I didn't want you later on screwing up my plans. Also I made a promise with Stefan.”
“Not that I knew what they were. We could of met up there.”
“And do what there?”
“I don't know. Sight seeing. You could have told me all the beautiful places there were when you were first there before I saw it myself for the first time.”
“Well I was trying to uphold my end of the bargain. Which turned out badly on Stefan's end. Maybe next time we're there I'll give you a tour of what the Mikaelson's has seen of Italy.”

“So what really happened tonight?
That made you like this.” she sipped the wine and passed the glass over to Klaus.

“ Which part? Stefan trying to have Caroline distract me. Or the part of my hybrids trying to carry out their plan of revolt against me? Or the after matter. Which part do you want me to tell you in vivid detail?” he spitted out the last part sarcastically.
“You're going to make me say it?”
Klaus looked at her waiting.
She sighed. “Fine. What exactly happened between you and Tyler's mom?”
“Mrs.Lockwood. I asked her if she had seen Tyler. She begged me not to kill him.” he swirled the glass.
“That's not what I'm..”
Klaus held out a finger. “Then she told me that he was all she had. Then I drowned her in the fountain.” He took a drink before saying.
“ Don't you think that's a beautiful symmetry between mother and son.”
“ You did what you had to do.' she touched his face “But Klaus you didn't have to do it if you were going to regret it. You know you're only hurting yourself when you do.” she spoke softly her fingers leaving his face.
“ I'm not regretting...” he placed the glass of wine to his lips.
“ Don't. Don't lie to me. Especially don't lie to yourself if you're going to regret it, Nikl-aus.” she nearly stuttered his name. She looked away then back with Klaus staring at her. He had stopped from taking a sip from his glass when he heard her say that name.
Klaus kept staring until she said “ It slipped.” She took the glass from him taking a huge gulp. Trying to regain her composure back.
“ It did not. That's twice you've said it now.”
“ What do you want from me? I'm drunk.” she raised her hands up in air throwing them in I-don't-care gesture.
“So that's the lie you're going to use. Alright sweetheart, so that's the game you want to play is it.” He took the drink back finishing it off.
“And what do you mean twice?” confused by his anger.

“So then tell me what did you tell Trevor after betraying me and Elijah,hmm?”

“ I didn't tell him anything. I was on the run from you. And Elijah. Seeing Trevor would have only gotten me caught by Elijah. I didn't need him trailing me since I already had to worry about you. And being with Trevor only meant being caught by Elijah. I knew Elijah would have gone after Trevor first. Seeing that he betrayed the both of you. Why are you so upset?” she stared at Klaus trying to figure him out.

“ Ah yes he did pay a heavy price for his loyalty to you didn't he.” he voiced venomously.

Klaus stood up not wanting to sit at the sofa any longer. He could feel the rage beginning to build inside him. So he started to pace before he made the mistake of grabbing Katherine by her throat and throwing her up against the wall.

“Not to mention we also wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't listen to Trevor.” he sighed still feeling annoyed.
Katherine watched him pace the floor trying to still figure out what happened. The wine was dulling her senses in concentrating hard enough. She knew there had to be something that he had just said earlier that had to of been the reason why Klaus was behaving this way. Until he had mentioned Trevor and her making a mistake did she stop trying to think about it.

Katherine tried not to scoff at him and instead said.

“ Then you should have paid better attention to what Trevor would have told me instead of whatever it was at the time you were so busy doing.” she replied annoyed herself.

She stood up off the sofa facing Klaus. He stopped meaning to turn and tell her to sit back down before he would do something he'd later regret. Instead he watched her closely walking up to him until she was steps away from being in his face.
Katherine licked the bottom of her lip nibbling on it before setting it loose.
He knew it had been a sign that she was going to start yelling. That he had set her off bringing up the betrayal. So he had beat her to it.

They began to have a heated discussion with Klaus saying that it wasn't for her to know what he was up to during the time and that she was suppose to be enjoying herself with Elijah and Trevor's company. That in the end she was suppose to trust him. But Katherine had stated that she couldn't and that Klaus wouldn't have opened up to her at least about his plans for becoming nothing but a human sacrifice. In fact she would be the last on his list that he would have trusted with them before he would tell Elijah or Stefan. Klaus offended by her standards of how she saw herself in front of his eyes had told her that she was more to him then those of human's who had fleeting lives. She had reminded him that she was human at the time. Klaus not responding silently pressed his lips together.
He gave her a look wanting to say something about her “human at the time” comment but did not.

Katherine not believing him had brought up someone from his past and mentioning that Elijah feelings had seem more real then his own during last few weeks before she had ran. Klaus shouted about how similar of her subject that she had brought up and asked if she had even real feelings in actually choosing any of the said brothers mentioned including himself instead of selfishly trying to keep from doing so.

Katherine became so upset she had confessed something she hadn't meant to Klaus. Something she never expected once riled up that she would accidentally let it slip. After realizing her confession Katherine inwardly cursed herself for making a few too many mistakes that night so she tried to excuse herself telling Klaus that she would leave and never appear before him again. She tried to speed across the room but Klaus had intervened from her leaving.
He asked for her to stay but she refused so he pleaded to her.

“ Katerina, please stay. Just for tonight.” he said quietly.

Katherine hesitated.
Klaus slowly walked up to her.
“I don't want to sleep by myself alone in my own bedroom, tonight.”

Carefully he reached out his hand and touched hers until he felt her give in.
“ Just for tonight. Then I'm leaving in the morning.” she replied.

Klaus pulled her along into his room. He let her hand go and walked over to the bed. Taking his tie, jacket and collared shirt off he threw it onto the armchair. Leaving his white shirt underneath on.
“ But first there's something I want to do.”

He listened to her propping extra pillows onto the bed.

“ And what would that be?” he turned to her.
“ I want to kiss you.” she brought her face close to his.
“ Then do so. But if you do I'll never let you go,love. But if you wish to leave now do so. I won't force you to stay nor will I take advantage of you.”
She leaned in closer “ I don't care.” Katherine kissed him softly on the lips.
Klaus wrapped her arms behind her back holding onto her deepening the kiss between them until he was satisfied.
“I warned you, Katerina. Now I'm never letting you leave.”
She giggled at him. Shrugging her shoulders. Swaying her body.
He sighed realizing that she probably wouldn't even remember since she was at her limit for tonight. So he turned around pulled the covers to the side and guided her to get in to bed. She laid down watching him walk around and pull the covers over onto the other side he leaned over remembering something to tell her.

“ Actually when I remember in the morning to tell you again. You will have to leave town when I tell you to.” he sighed laying down feeling tired.
“ Why?” she asked leaning on her elbow looking down at him.
“ Because of Jeremy. He's now become a hunter.” he looked up at her. Taking a strand of her curled falling hair playing with it.
“ Why are you worried about little Jeremy? Besides I'm faster then him.” she leaned onto him tapping her finger on his chest.
“ He's no normal hunter, love. He's one of the five now. So I don't want him to hatchet your head as part of his collection to his growing mark. So I don't want you to leave this house until I say when. Not even for some short visit.” he lifted his head up.
“ Then I'll leave when you tell me it's safe too. But I still think I'm faster.”she added with confidence.
“ His strength will be different from before and he can't be compelled.” he added sincerely.
“ I get it. I'll do as you say.” she tapped his chest again.
“ Now why did you want to kiss me?” he grinned.
“ I wanted my “Good Night kiss” don't you remember.” she said in a manner of fact.
Klaus sighed “You and your kisses. Does that mean you're requiring me to give you your “Good Morning kiss” too? ”
“ Yes. Isn't that obvious.”
“ So it wasn't because you wanted me. But your nightly routine.” he rolled his eyes muttering to himself.
He added “ Somehow I feel cheated.” he looked at her sleepy gaze.
“ Why don't I give you that kiss now instead of later, hmm,sweetheart.”
“ Fine with me.” she smiled.
Klaus pulled her down to him kissing her lightly then deeply. Katherine tried to move but he refused to let her. He kissed her until she responded she did with her nails digging into his chest drawing blood.
“Easy, kitty kat. You don't have to claw my chest. You can do that when I'm on top ' he said moving turning her on top of the bed “drawing your nails on my back.”he said heatedly. Katherine sat up leaning on the pillows to face Klaus face to face.
“Klaus. You promised.”
“ Yes I did. But I didn't say something could happen between us.”
He kissed her on the forehead then looked into her eyes “Give me your permission, Katerina ' he smiled.
“Not that you could ever resist me before.” he chuckled.
“Yes. I never could.” she said then laid back down. Sighing as he trailed kisses over her body. “Klaus don't tease me.”
He lifted the slit on her red dress near her thigh nibbling and biting but not hard enough to draw blood. “Ahh this is torture.” she gasped.
Klaus looked up at her laying on her elbows “ I did say I'd make you suffer.” he laughed. Using his hands to rub and glide them across her stomach and sides.
“ Don't play with the words.” she growled.
“ Fine then. I'll play with you instead.” Klaus dipped his head down.
Katherine moaned arching her back. He laughed at her “ Does that mean Yes or does that mean No.” He moved his fingers making her move.
“Stop...” she grasped his head.
“ Never.” Klaus replied climbing up to her.
In a breathy sigh she called out “ Klaus.” They kissed as he laid her back down on the bed. Katherine slid her fingers into his hair. Lost in a daze she let him do as he wanted not really noticing. Losing herself into the pleasure he gave her until he lifted his head and said.

“ For tonight love me Katerina and I will do the same for you.” he whispered so softly she nearly didn't hear him.
Katherine pulled Klaus down onto her as her response to his plea by kissing him deeply. She gave into the plea she heard him whisper founding herself wanting the same.

Klaus made love to Katherine until he was satisfied making her call out his name in the way he wanted to hear her say his name. He didn't stop until she gave in all through out the night. Until she came within a gasp his name. At the end Klaus gave Katherine a genuine smile. He watched her fall asleep stroking her cheek.

Klaus whispered in her ear “ Sweet dreams sweetheart. Dream of me while you're sleeping.” Then he put his arms around his doppelganger. Katherine moved closer onto his chest he let her snuggle closer smiling he fell asleep.
