Audrey's mind was racing. Her heart was hammering in her chest and her body felt extremely hot. She stared at her soulmate with wide eyes and an open mouth. She wanted this for so long and now she had it. He finally said it, he finally said he loved her. Klaus was in shock too. He didn't think those words would come out of his mouth. He felt so exposed and vulnerable now, something he loathed with his entire being. He looked into his soulmate's eyes again and knew that he didn't make a mistake. He loved Audrey. She had become his everything from the moment they met. She was his light in the dark and he swore to himself that he would never let that light dim. "Love?"

"D-do you mean it?" Audrey asked, tears rimming her eyes.

"Of course," Klaus smiled. Audrey searched his eyes for any doubt, instead she saw adoration and love. He was looking at her a way he never had before. She felt her entire body engulf in flames as she reached up and slammed her lips to his. Klaus smiled into the kiss and pulled her closer. The kiss started off slow and passionate, but that quickly changed when their desires kicked in. Klaus picked Audrey up by the thighs and set her on the table he had set out. Screw dinner, she was more delicious anyways. He threw everything off of it and laid her down, pulling back to look at her. She stared up at him with her soft brown eyes, but there was a hint of darkness to them. He smirked to himself when he realized it was lust. He leaned down capturing her lips in a chaotic kiss before taking hold of her shirt and ripping it from her body. She clawed at his own shirt, pulling it off him as fast as she could. They ripped the rest of their clothes off before Klaus was entering her swiftly. Usually, he was the perfect balance of rough and loving, but tonight he was just loving. Moving at a slower yet, intense pace, he kissed her hard. Audrey dragged her nails down his back and moaned against his lips. He kept it slow and steady making sure to memorize every inch of her soft skin. His touch felt like silk moving down her body gently. It was all so passionate. Klaus pulled back and watched her fall apart beneath him. She had her head turned to the side, panting in bliss. Sweat trickled down her exposed neck and he found himself leaning forward to lick it. He could smell her blood pumping under her skin and his fangs elongated.

"Do it," She moaned.

"What?" He asked faking clueless.

"I want you to bite me," She huffed, cheeks glowing a bright red color. Klaus smirked at her but said nothing else as he nipped at her neck. Her back arched off the table and she gripped his biceps tightly. He took a deep breath of her scent before biting down on her neck. The most delicious taste he could ever imagine filled his mouth and Klaus knew then that he was addicted to her. Pleasure burned throughout her body, coursing through each nerve like an explosion. He could feel her losing control but he could also feel her weakening. Just as she was coming undone he tore away from her neck and bit into his wrist bringing it to her mouth, forcing his blood down her throat. Her eyes widened but she didn't have much time to react because she was overcome with her climax. It nearly tore her to shreds in the most delectable way. Klaus finished after her slowing down to a stop. They both were breathing heavily, unable to catch their breaths from their activities.

"I've never felt anything like that before," Audrey muttered tiredly.

"Me either," Klaus smiled. Audrey's eyes met his and she smiled softly, reaching out to cup his cheek.

"I love you," She whispered.

"I love you," He said back, capturing her lips in a hungry kiss. They started up again, their lust getting the better of them, and they didn't stop until morning.

Klaus watched as Audrey slept peacefully in his bed. He had worn her out and he was proud of himself for it. They made love all night long and even into the morning. The hybrid couldn't help himself, just her scent got him excited. "I can't tell whether that's creepy or flattering," Audrey suddenly mumbled. Klaus smirked.

"What?" He asked watching as a flirty smile took over her face.

"You watching me sleep," She replied opening her eyes to look at him. Klaus leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. When he pulled back he ran a finger along her cheek, caressing it lightly.

"How long have you been awake, love?" He questioned softly.

"Probably only a few minutes. I had the most wonderful dream," She yawned with a smirk.

"Do tell," Klaus encouraged, tracing his finger from her cheek to her neck and down to her shoulder.

"Well it involved this really hot hybrid," She teased. He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her neck. "He had me seeing stars all night long. It was exquisite,"

"He sounds absolutely sensational," Klaus hummed, nipping at her bruised neck. Love bites littered her body everywhere.

"Mmm he really is," Audrey smiled, biting her lip seductively. Her back arched off the bed when he nipped at a sensitive spot. Klaus growled and pushed her into the bed roughly. Just before things could heat up, Audrey phone began to ring. She sighed and attempted to push Klaus off of her, but he held her still.

"Just ignore it. Whoever it is, isn't important," Klaus growled leaning up to kiss her, trying to distract her. Just as the phone stopped ringing it started up again. She knew it was most likely Damon calling. Audrey pulled away from her soulmate's lips and cocked an eyebrow at him in a challenging way. They held eye contact for a moment, asserting dominance. Eventually, Klaus gave up and complied with her. He rolled off of her and she quickly snatched her phone, answering it immediately.

"Hello?" Audrey answered.

"I've missed your voice, little bird," Damon sighed dramatically.

"Awe I've missed you too, babe," Audrey sighed back. Klaus perked up and frowned at his soulmate.

"So operation teach Elena how to feed sort of back fired," Damon said dejectedly.

"How?!" Audrey asked in shock.

"Well...let's just say I got carried away," Damon admitted.

"Oh god Damon, what did you do?" Audrey groaned with disappointment.

"It wasn't just me, I promise! You're sister was just as guilty," Damon argued innocently.

"Please don't tell me you slept together," Audrey whined dragging her hand down her face.

"What? No. I was teaching her how to feed without killing anyone and we were having fun and I don't know, Audrey," Damon sighed. "Things got intense,"

"Intense how?"

"We were dancing together and the way she was letting go, it was breathtaking. I've never seen her so wild and free before, Aud, and she loved it! I knew she was gonna be like me once she turned," Damon explained. Audrey smiled at the thought of her sister letting go for once. "I know it's wrong, because Stefan's my brother and I love him, but I love her too,"

"I know what you mean," Audrey said. "I love you and Elena both, Damon. I don't want either of you to get hurt but...," She trailed off.

"What?" Damon pressed.

"I noticed this before she turned, but when she's with you she's different. You light this fire in her Damon. She's fearless and free and if I'm being honest, I want that for her," Audrey answered. Damon held his breath for a moment. This was all the motivation he needed.

"I love you, little bird," He laughed.

"I love you too," Audrey smiled. "I'll talk to you later,"

"Alright," Once the line went dead, Audrey set her phone back on the nightstand and turned to her soulmate. Klaus was staring blankly at the ceiling with his arms behind his head. Audrey laid down beside him placing her head on his chest. His arms instinctively wrapped around her, holding her close to him. She felt his heart beat against his chest and for a moment she forgot he was a hybrid. In that moment he felt human.

"How did you and Damon Salvatore, of all people, become so close?" Klaus questioned quietly. Audrey leaned up on her arm and looked at him. Was he jealous? He continued to stare at the ceiling, not meeting her eyes.

"When Damon first came into town he turned my brother's girlfriend into a vampire. She went crazy because she couldn't handle what was happening to her and she started to attack the people she cared about. I never liked Vicky, but I still felt bad for her. She was my brother's first love and my best friend's sister, I felt a connection to her whether I liked her or not. Well, she went missing after she got caught attacking someone and I went looking for her like an idiot. When I found her she started getting irrational for no reason and attacked me. If Damon hadn't of found us I would've been dead. He fed me his blood and carried me back to my sister. He was going to erase my memories of it but I told him not to, because I wanted to remember that moment. I wanted to remember that through all of his darkness was some good and I was never going to give up on him. After that he became my protector from everything and we basically became family. Caroline has always been my closest friend, but Damon is so much more than that. We just understand each other in this soul bonding way. Kind of like you and me except not romantic at all," Klaus blinked a few times not sure on how to digest this new information. He couldn't deny that pit in his stomach of jealousy, but now he had a better understanding. Damon really was only a friend to her. "I love you and Damon both equally in completely different ways,"

"I guess I understand it now," Klaus muttered.

"Good! Alright, enough serious talk. I wanna do some really dirty things to you," Audrey smirked as she straddled him.

"What kind of dirty things?" Klaus asked with a wink. Audrey blushed and looked away. "No no love, tell me!"

"You know I can't say things like that! I always get flustered," Audrey mumbled with a blush.

"I'll tell you all the things I want to do to you," He flipped her over and held himself above her. "Like tie you to my bed and-," The shrill ring of a phone cut him off, only this time it wasn't Audrey's. Klaus grabbed his phone and answered it immediately. God help the poor soul who dare interrupt him and his queen. "This better be extremely important or so help me god, I will rip your heart out," Klaus growled gripping his phone tightly. Audrey bit her lip as she watched his biceps flex.

"Sorry sir, I'm just calling to inform you that your flight is ready and your arrangements are set in stone," Ben, one of Klaus's hybrid's, replied.

"Alright then, I'll be there soon," Klaus said before hanging up the phone. He groaned and threw his phone aside.

"Business?" Audrey sighed dramatically.

"Yes," Klaus said. "But you're coming with me," He quickly got out of bed and started to get dressed.

"What?" Audrey asked sitting up.

"You're coming with me, love," Klaus smiled as he pulled on his jeans and buckled them. "Come on, get dressed,"

"Wait where are we going?" Audrey asked as she stood up and picked her clothes up from the floor.

"It's a surprise," He winked pulling on his shirt. Audrey smiled widely and pulled her clothes on as fast as she could. He grabbed her hand once she was dressed and ready and pulled her all the way out to his car. Audrey giggled when he opened her door for her and bowed. She curtsied before falling into her seat as gracefully as she could. Klaus got into the driver seat and pulled out of his driveway. He looked over at his soulmate and couldn't help but marvel at her. She was so goddamn beautiful. He slide his hand onto her thigh and squeezed. She smirked and winked at him. The ride to the airport was quiet, but peaceful. Audrey felt a warmth settle in her and she closed her eyes and smiled. For the first time in a long time everything felt serene.

-

"Love, wake up," Klaus whispered into Audrey's ear. He blew behind her ear causing her body to arch instinctively.

"Mmm, where are we?" Audrey muttered as she awoke. Her eyes fluttered open and she immediately smiled when she saw her soulmate looking at her like she was art.

"Naples, but we have to go a little outside of the city for our destination," Klaus answered casually.

"Naples?! As in Naples, Italy?" Audrey perked up with excitement.

"Yes as in Naples, Italy. I promised you I'd show you the world, didn't I?" Klaus said watching as the biggest smile he's ever seen on her face appear. Audrey pounced into his arms and buried her face in his chest. They exited the plane together and Audrey nearly teared up at sight before her. She had always dreamed of going to Italy, and now she was here.

"It's so wonderful," She whispered. Klaus chuckled and shook his head.

"We haven't even left the airport, love," He pulled her forward but she was quickly pulling him back. A sudden wave of nausea hit her and she went flying for the nearest trash can. Klaus followed her and pulled her hair back as she emptied her stomach into the trash. Once she was done she stood up and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"I don't know what that was about," She mumbled with confusion.

"Perhaps overwhelming excitement got the best of you," Klaus suggested. Audrey nodded and smiled at her soulmate.

"You're right, now lets go because I really need to brush my teeth or something," She sighed pulling her boyfriend through the airport.
