CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
"Is there anywhere you two don't do it?"

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

CASSANDRA WAS SWITCHING HER LAUNDRY INTO THE DRYING MACHINE WHEN KLAUS WANDERED IN. She gives him a smile, pecking his lips as she turns back to what she was doing. All of a sudden, she could feel hands on her ass, squeezing it tightly making her shakes her head. "I'm doing laundry." She states with a giggle as she pushes him off playfully. Klaus doesn't give up, placing his hands on her hips and pulling her back towards him.

"Just a quickie, please." Klaus says as he kisses her neck, turning her around so her back was pressed against the machine.

"Niklaus Mikaelson is begging?" Cassandra asks with a gasp, smirking at him. She sees the hungry look in his eyes as he stares down her body. "Wow, what a sight." She adds, licking her bottom lip a little bit. Klaus was a little on edge, sighing loudly.

"Okay, love. I get it." Klaus says as he rolls his eyes playfully before leaning into her body. "Now..?" He trails off, raising an eyebrow at the girl who had yet to answer.

"I'm supposed to meet Caroline about wedding planning." Cassandra states making the man physically deflate. She sighs, glancing at her phone before looking back at her fiance. "But make it quick, lord knows I need it for what I'm about to endure." She gives in and she could see the immediate smirk that takes over his face.

"What, spending the day with Caroline is going to be hard?" Klaus asks as he lifts the girl up, sliding her skirt to her hips as he quickly begins to unbuckle his belt.

"No, spending the day with wedding planner Caroline is going to be hard." She corrects him as she reaches over and helps unzip his pants before opening her legs so he could stand between them.

"I could come with you." He suggests, his hands gripping her thighs and sliding her to the edge of the machine. Cassandra wraps her legs around his waist.

"No, she wants it to be the girls for this first day." She explains to the man who laughs, beginning to thrust into the girl who let's out a slight gasp at the sensation.

"So you're gonna be tortured." He states and she nods her head with a groan, pouting at him a little bit.

"Make up an excuse so I don't have to go?" Cassandra asks as she places her hands on his shoulders, holding herself steady as Klaus thrusts into her sharply.

"I have her tomorrow so no." He groans out as he feels her clench around him. Cassandra was keeping her mouth shut but he saw the pure bliss on her face as he fucked into her. "I want to hear you, love." Klaus says as he starts going rougher, earning a light moan but he wanted to hear her more.

"We're not exactly in a soundproof room so no." Cassandra tells him and he only furrows his eyebrows as he grips her hips, speeding his pace up.

"Since when do you keep quiet?" Klaus asks, watching the girls face contort to pleasure, her body bouncing everytime he thrusted into her.

"Since everyone's complained and mocked me." She admits making the man chuckle, biting his bottom lip. Cassandra only moans quietly, wrapping her arms around him to bring him closer. "Just keep going, I'm close." Cassandra tells him and Klaus nods, starting to go deeper, hearing the soft moans escape from her.

"Oh, ew!" A sudden voice screams and Cassandra looks over to see Caroline covering her eyes. "Is there anywhere you two don't do it?" She asks with a scoff, and Cassandra knew the girl was rolling her eyes behind her hand. Klaus doesn't pay her any attention as he continues to thrust into the girl. Caroline walks out, slamming the door behind her.

"Nik." She scolds a little as she slaps his shoulder as he only chuckles lightly at her.

"What? She left." Klaus says as he smirks at her, kissing her neck causing her head to roll back a little bit.

"Just, speed up." Cassandra tells him and he does that, gripping her hips tighter as he brings her body towards him with every thrust.

"Well, I was close until she came in." He mumbles as he thrusts into her deeply, groaning as he feels her nails dig into his back.

"Yeah, it kind of ruined the mood for me." She admits but Klaus only takes that as a challenge, raising an eyebrow at her as he licks his bottom lip.

"Did it?" He asks teasingly before roughly fucking into her making her gasp, Klaus allows himself to go quicker as he saw the pure bliss forming on her face again. Cassandra moans quietly, her eyes squeezing shut as she throws her head back.

"Okay, fuck." She lets out as she cums, her heels pressing into his lower back. Klaus thrusts a couple more times before finishing and resting his head on her shoulder.

"And just like that, the mood came back." Klaus teases as he kisses the nape of her neck. Cassandra sighs, pulling back as she shakes her head a little bit at him.

"And I now have to face Caroline." Cassandra states as she jumps down from the washer, fixing her outfit before opening the door and seeing Caroline standing there, rubbing her eyeballs.

"Can one of you hand me the bleach, I have to go drown my eyes." Caroline tells them and Cassandra only laughs a little as she gestures to the bathroom behind them. "I'm not going in there if it stinks like your sex." She scoffs as she scrunched up her nose a little bit. Cassandra rolls her eyes playfully at the blonde.

"Let's go wedding plan, Care." Cassandra says with a sigh as she holds out her hand but the girl grimaces, staring at it.

"Go shower first." Caroline tells her and Cassandra furrows her eyebrows, glancing down to see if maybe she didnt look presentable.

"Wha-no I just got dressed." Cassandra replies which only makes Caroline shrug her shoulders. It's not her fault she decided to fuck Klaus right when they were supposed to leave.

"Well tell that to the Klaus sex germs on you." Caroline points out with a shake of her head. Cassandra just rolls her eyes at the girl, glancing and Klaus who was trying to hide the amusement in his eyes.

"You are such a control freak." She mumbles before moving away from Klaus and heading towards the direction where Caroline was standing.

"But you love me." Caroline says with a smile before taking a big step out of the path that Cassandra was taking. "Do not touch me." She states and Cassandra mockingly goes to reach her before heading upstairs to take a shower. Caroline's head turns back to Klaus, crossing her arms against her chest.
"You can't keep it in your pants for even a second?" She asks the man with a sigh and Klaus only smirks before walking off, leaving the blonde alone to physically shake before turning around and stalking up the stairs.

CASSANDRA WAS IN THE LIVING ROOM, getting some quiet as she had finally gotten Helena down to sleep after getting home from being with Caroline. The blonde had hassled her with so many details that she just had to call it a day. She didn't know planning a wedding was so exhausting. Cassandra didn't even want anything fancy and neither did Klaus and yet Caroline was somehow convincing them to get so many things. "Hey." A voice comes from behind her causing her to turn around and see Stefan standing there, a soft smile on his lips. It seemed like she hadn't seen him in forever even though it had only been a week.

"Stefan, hey!" She says happily as she moves towards him, seeing the man fiddling with his fingers. "How are you?" Cassandra asks as she never got the chance to ask seeing as she had Helena now who was a full time thing.

"A little better." He admits with a nod before glancing around the room. "Look, I just wanted to apologize." Stefan tells her and he knew he had to go to Klaus too which he wasn't really looking forward to.

"For what?" Cassandra asks with furrowed eyebrows as the man had nothing to be sorry for. Stefan only gets a little quiet, rubbing his neck.

"My memory loss self kissing you." Stefan says and this makes her eyes widen a little bit. She didn't even think he would remember it when he got his memories back.

"Oh." She glances at the floor, shrugging a little bit. "It's okay." Cassandra tells him, it wasn't his fault and she wasn't going to hold it against him.

"Um.." Stefan trails off, putting his hands in his pockets as the air filled with uncomfortable silence. He didn't know if it was because of the kiss or because they hadn't spoken in so long.

"Did Rebekah talk to you?" She decides to ask, rubbing the back of her neck and she could see the man turn bright red at her question.

"Oh, yeah." Stefan glances at the floor to avoid eye contact but the girl was smiling ear to ear.

"Is Stefan Salvatore blushing?" Cassandra teases him and Stefan only groans, rubbing his face a little bit as he knew she would make a big deal.

"Shut up." He grumbles and she only giggles before calming down, smiling lightly at him. Stefan meets her eyes again, pressing his lips together. "I just wanted to ask if you were okay." Stefan admits as he sees the girl falter a little bit.

"Uh.. yeah." Cassandra says as she fiddles with her fingers and Stefan only stares blankly back at her.

"That didn't seem believable." Stefan admits and she only sighs, shrugging her shoulders. She didn't need him worrying because then he would worry Rebekah, who would worry Klaus who would make everyone else worry.

"I'm fine, Stef. Don't worry." She tries to convince him and he still seemed a little on edge, trying to decide if he believed her or not.

"You still have it locked up, right?" Stefan asks as he hadn't been properly here enough to know if something happened. They had barely even seen each other since his memory was wiped.

"Yeah, it's all good." Cassandra states with a nod and he only sighs, he was just glad that wasn't a problem when he was gone.

"Okay, that's good." Stefan replies as he nods his head and Cassandra only lightly smiles back at him.

"Mhmm." She says and Stefan moves back and forth on his feet, glancing around the room. "So, what did you say?" Cassandra decides to break the awkwardness. Stefan only clears his throat, shaking his head with a smile.

"Ask Rebekah." Stefan simply says and she only furrows her eyebrows as she didn't like how cryptic he was being.

"Wha--" She begins but Stefan had started to walk away from her making her sigh. "Stefan you can't just walk away!" Cassandra groans but the boy was long gone although she could still hear his laugh. She rolls her eyes, smiling before she glances over at the mirror beside her. She stares into it, fixing her hair before she can see her reflection stare back at her, giving a smirk. Cassandra snaps her head away, breathing quickly. She looks back and her reflection was still smirking at her.

"You're fine." Cassandra whispers, closing her eyes as she shakes her head, trying to control her breathing. "Nothing is wrong." She tries to convince herself as she glances back at the mirror. It was normal. Letting a sigh leave her lips, she turns around to leave the room. Nothing was wrong with her. She was just paranoid. The divine was locked up. There was nothing she could do. Right?

A COUPLE OF THEM WERE LOUNGING AROUND IN THE LIVING ROOM, chatting normally as they had finally no problems on their hands. That they knew of. Nathan was staring at Klaus and Elijah who were having a conversation. He was tapping his foot on the floor, thinking to himself for a moment. Cassandra told him not to say anything but if he didn't say anything and something happened to her, he wouldn't forgive himself. But if nothing was actually wrong and he made it into a big deal, Cassandra wouldn't forgive him. Nathan groans, rubbing his face. It was better to be safe than sorry. Right? He gets up, stalking over to the brothers who glance over at the man who stops next to them. "Can I talk to you two?" Nathan asks, keeping his voice down. Klaus and Elijah glance at each other for a moment before nodding their heads. They follow him into a seperate room where Nathan closes the door behind them.

"What's up?" Elijah asks as he leans against the chair, staring at Nathan who seemed a little bit nervous to be alone with them.

"Have you guys noticed anything.. off about Cassandra?" Nathan asks hesitantly as he didn't want to sound like he was accusing Cassandra of anything. Klaus only furrows his eyebrows, staring at the man.

"She's a little tired but thats just because of Helena." Klaus says, seeing the way Nathan was tensed and unable to look either of them in the eye.

"Elijah?" Nathan asks and Elijah sighs a little bit. He had noticed something and had asked but nothing had came from it and he didn't know exactly what he saw either.

"I have noticed something odd." Elijah admits as he crosses his arms, glancing at his brother. "I keep watching her face, whenever you know something happens and she seems to put on a facade but then when no one is looking she just looks... Emotionless." He explains to them and Klaus only frowns. Why had Elijah noticed this and he didn't?

"What?" Klaus asks, unable to process it because it did not seem like Cassandra had anything wrong with her. "No, Cassandra doesn't have her humanity off." He states, denying any accusation. Elijah sighs as he turns to him.

"I'm not saying she does, Niklaus. Its just odd." He admits, Elijah knew the girl didn't have her humanity off because it would be a way different Cassandra than they have right now.

"Just think, have you noticed anything?" Nathan asks Klaus who sighs, shrugging his shoulders. There were a few odd times but he couldn't think of any specific moment.

"I mean.. she's a little weird at times but I didn't think anything of it." Klaus tells them as he felt horrible for not noticing anything sooner.

"Why are you suddenly bringing it up?" Elijah asks as he stares at Nathan who only bites the inside of his cheek, pulling at his fingers as he had just promised Cassandra that he wouldn't say something and here he was.

"Um, I'm gonna tell you something but you can't tell Cassandra that I told you." Nathan says as he finally looks at the brothers who only stare back at him confused. "She told me that she doesn't feel anything." He says after a moment and both of them don't have any reaction. They didn't know how to react.

"She said that?" Elijah asks, wondering if he had heard correctly. Cassandra had so blatantly ignored him so why would she tell Nathan?

"She said she can feel things physically but when she tries to feel any emotion, it doesn't happen." Nathan explains to them as he moves on his feet, unable to stay still. "She said it's been happening since she turned on her humanity." He finishes and Elijah only furrows his eyebrows, glancing at the floor for a moment. Klaus was just in shock at the news. He didn't even notice.

"That doesn't make sense." Klaus mumbles as he didn't understand how she could have her humanity on but not feel a single thing towards anyone.

"Which is why I wanted to ask you, to see if you'd know what was happening." Nathan admits as he thought because they were older, they would have some sort of explanation but they seemed just as clueless as him.

"I think we should talk to her--" Elijah starts to say but Nathan cuts him off in a panic. Cassandra would immediately know that he was the one who spilled it to them because he was the only one she told.

"No! Then she'll know that I told you." Nathan says as he stares at them with pleading eyes. Elijah only sighs, thinking for a second. He had already questioned her so she shouldn't think anything of it if he asks her again.

"She already knows I'm suspicious so I can ask." He explains to them and Nathan nods his head, sighing in relief for a moment.

"Maybe we should all be there." Klaus suggests and Elijah nods his head, it was less likely she would lie if multiple people were accusing her. Well, not accusing her but pressuring her to tell the truth.

"If she asks if I told you can you lie?" Nathan asks and the men only stare back at him. "She made me promise not to say anything but I couldn't just keep it to myself." He admits and Klaus nods his head with a sigh, crossing his arms.

"No, you did the right thing." He tells him, although he was upset that Cassandra had confided in Nathan instead of him. "We won't say anything about you." Klaus says and Nathan sighs, nodding his head.

"Thank you." He tells them before leaving the room. Both Mikaelsons just stare at the door, not knowing what to say. Elijah knew something was wrong with Cassandra but he hadn't pushed enough. If he had, maybe they would have figured this out sooner. Who knew if something was happening and if it was too late already to help her.

Klaus was only staring blankly, wondering why she hadn't told him anything. They were going to be married and yet she had kept this huge secret from him. She couldn't even feel love for him. Klaus was worried this was a permanent thing and if it was.

What would it mean for them?
