Temptation of the Best Kind- Chapter Four
He picked her up and threw her down on a bed of leaves while he still continued to hungrily kiss her. Chuck’s body moved on top of hers while his tongue slid into her mouth and hers into his. Blair threaded her fingers through his hair and she pulled him closer, she was desperate for the taste of him.
The taste of her was driving him crazy, he needed more. He tore his mouth away from hers and looked into her eyes.
“Chuck?” She questioned.
He knew that he wasn’t supposed to be doing this but he found that he couldn’t remember why. All reason had left him when he his mouth had touched hers. “Blair.” His voice was raspy from arousal. “Tell me.”
“Tell you what?” She tried to draw his head back down to hers but he wouldn’t budge.
“Tell me how much you want me.”
Blair cupped his face between her hands and looked directly into his eyes. “Chuck, I want you so much that I can’t even describe it. I mean, I never felt like this before and it does scare me. But all I know is that I’m consumed with passion for you and it feels so right. I know you feel it. And I have to keep reminding Nate why I would much rather have you instead of him. There are just so many reasons why.”
That did it. He ripped open her shirt and buttons flew everywhere. She gasped at the sensation but his eyes went straight to her bra covered breasts which were straining against the material, begging to be let free. He cupped one in each hand and pushed them together, loving the way that his hands looked on her.
She arched her back and pushed her breasts further into his hands. Her hands slipped underneath his shirt and touched one of his nipples. He let out a hiss. “Blair, you are so fucking good.”
“I am?”
He sucked on her neck before answering. “Like I said, you are so fucking good.”
Her hand moved further down to his blatant erection. She caressed him through his slacks and he let his head fall back in pleasure. He placed his hand over hers to get her to stop. “Blair, I want you so fucking much.”
She kissed him again before answering. “So do I, I’ve been waiting for this since the first time we made love. Don’t make me wait any longer, Chuck.”
Her words made the guilt reappear. He was about to have sex with her again, when they had already betrayed Nate. What had he been thinking? That was the thing, he hadn’t been. The desire he felt for her had taken over his brain. He wouldn’t betray Nate again, even if he had been a shitty friend of late.
He pushed Blair off of him and walked back to the tent without another word. He had to get away from her as quick as possible or he was afraid that he would give into her. He was going to leave; he couldn’t spend another minute with her. He just had to get back to the tent and gather his stuff. Hopefully she would stay away until he was gone.
But she didn’t. Blair caught up with him just as he was about to go into the tent. “What the fuck was that, Chuck?” His head started to pound and he heard how furious she was.
“That was a mistake on my part, yet again.” He snipped nastily at her. Chuck wasn’t going to let her know how much he wanted her. “I don’t know why I even bothering spending time with you.”
She pushed her face right up to his. “You want to play, Bass? Let’s play. You can’t lie to me, like you can to Nate.” She said his name with disgust. “I know that you want me as much as I want you. You can deny it as much as you want but it’s not going to change anything.”
“I’m not denying anything; just don’t read too much into it. It was just a mistake, Blair.”
Her face was turning redder by the second. “Are you saying that you don’t have any feelings for me?”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”
She chuckled. “Right, then what do you call what just happened back there?”
He made himself say what he had to. He had to or she would continue to chase him. “Blair, I just reacted to your naked body. You could have been anybody and I wish you were someone else. Just because we made out a little bit doesn’t mean anything. I do it all the time.” He waited for her to slap him because he deserved it.
Blair laughed. “I know what you’re doing. You’re trying to make me hate you so I’ll give up on you.” She moved closer to him. “It’s not going to work, Chuck.”
He sighed, she knew him to well. He jumped when he felt her hands on his body.
“Well, I’m fully clothed now so my body won’t tempt you.” She said in a sarcastic tone. “Don’t tell me there is nothing between us. We both know better than that.”
Her voice was getting to him. “No, Blair.”
She kissed him lightly on the lips. “I guess I’ll just have to convince you then.” Blair kissed him hard and he was powerless to resist her. He was the first one to slide his tongue into her mouth, and he tilted her head back in order to deepen the kiss.
She broke it off. “See? Stop denying our passion.”
He shut her up with another tongue scorching kiss. His hands settled on her waist as their tongues slid together and worked up a frenzied pace. Her lips traveled down to his neck and placed several kisses there. He pushed her away from him again.
“Now what, Chuck?”
“I just can’t do it, Blair.” His voice sounded broken.
She placed a hand on his cheek. “Look at me.” She waited until he complied. “I’m not going to do anything to you that you don’t want. Okay? I would never want to do that to you. Just tell me why.”
Chuck had always thought of himself as a hard and cold person like his father. But Blair was melting him by the second. “It’s because of Nate.”
She jerked her hand away from him. “I am so fucking tired of hearing about Nate! What is the big deal, we broke up!”
“The big deal is that I fucked you after only twenty minutes of the two of you breaking up.” His voice remained calm but on the inside he was fighting a losing battle. “How could I have done that to my best friend?”
Blair’s voice softened again. “The same way that Serena and Nate betrayed me. You didn’t care about Nate; all you were thinking about was me. You were lost in the moment, Chuck. You can’t keep blaming yourself for it.”
“I can and I will, Blair. What we did was wrong and I am not going to do it again.”
“Is Nate the only reason that’s holding you back?”
“Yes.”
She sighed. “What if Nate found out about us and you told him you were attracted to me? What would he say to you?”
“He would tell me to stay the fuck away from you.” He said with a sigh.
She slapped her palm against her hand. “My point exactly, if Nate knew you wanted me, it wouldn’t matter to him. He doesn’t care about your happiness, just like he didn’t care about mine. It’s always about him; he doesn’t give a shit about anyone else. So why are we still having this discussion?”
He slumped against the tree. “You just don’t get it, Blair. That’s it, no one cares about me. So what is the big deal if my best friend doesn’t? Everyone just thinks that I’m a fucking screw up and maybe that’s why I’m the way I am. But I feel like I have to stay away from you so I can maintain my friendship with Nate.”
Blair felt the urge to cry at his words. “It really hurts me that you think of yourself this way, Chuck. I care about you more than Nate or more than anyone else. I care about you more than anyone else in my life. I see all the good and tremendous qualities in you. The womanizing and drinking is all just a façade, you’re really just a lost little boy. I know how good of a person you are, Chuck.”
“What you just said changes nothing, Blair. It was a nice little spiel but I’m going to leave and I don’t want to spend any time with you again. We’re done; I’m not going to have anymore contact with you. So the sooner you can accept that, the better it will be for you.”
Her eyes filled with tears at his words and she looked at him with a desperate look on her face.
His face didn’t softened as he said, “That’s the way it has to be.”
She pulled her hand back and slapped him across the face. Hard. “You want to be a bastard and say these that hurt me down to my core? Go ahead, if that’s what you must do. But just know that what you’re saying actually hurts me and if you care at all about me, you’ll stop right now.”
It was a stupid question, but he had to ask. “Why does it hurt you? I was just a fuck to you and you just want to experience it again. Anybody would do, you’re just focusing your attention on me because I was the one that took your virginity.”
“That is so far from the truth that it’s not even funny, Chuck. It wasn’t just a fuck to me as it obviously was for you. I actually fell for you that night and ever since that my feelings have just gotten stronger.”
He just stared back at her and she saw the shock written all over his face. “Blair…”
She didn’t let him get any further. “No, I’ve had enough of your shit. If you want to be all alone then by all means, I just hope you’ll be happy all by yourself.”
He moved closer to her. “I do feel it Blair, but I just can’t do it.”
She nodded her head in agreement. “Okay, then leave.”
Chuck turned away from her without another word but the only thought that was running through his mind was if he just had fucked up the best thing that had been going in his life. He had a feeling he did and all because of his supposed friendship with Nate. He was starting to detest Nate a little bit for doing this to him.
He walked out of the woods and onto the main road. He knew that he would have to walk awhile before his cell phone would get any reception. Why had he just done that? He had hurt her purposely and she had still admitted that she was falling for him. How could he have done that to her? The answer was simple, he was falling quickly for her and there was no way that he could stop. But he had to stay away from her now, it was what she wanted. He just hoped that he would be able to succeed.
XOXO
A week has passed and Blair could still hear the taunting words that he had said. The pain was still residing in her body at his hurtful words. She had been wrong about him; he obviously didn’t want her like she did with him. It was just sex for him and it was nothing like that for her. She had actually fallen hard for Chuck and that made everything all the worse.
She had been testing him when she told him to leave. She had wanted to see if he would listen to her or he would actually fight for her. The former had won out and that was when she realized that he cared more about Nate then about her. So Blair had formed a new plan. The new plan was to stay the hell away from Chuck Bass.
She had an ulterior motive though, she knew that he didn’t want her like she did with him, but she was going to convince them that they could be good together. The first part of the plan was to totally ignore him and see what his reaction would be. If he seemed upset then she knew that she would eventually have him. And if Chuck didn’t care then it was time to actually give up on him.
So, the next time she saw him she would act like she couldn’t care less about him. Blair only hoped that he would actually be upset about the whole thing or she would lose the best thing that had ever happened in her life. She had to win Chuck Bass’s heart or die trying. And it might just kill her.
XOXO
He was furious or he was getting there at least. Nate had come to his suite and started to throw accusations at him about Blair, and he didn’t appreciate it in the least.
Nate sat down on the sofa. “So, is she still trying to seduce you Chuck?”
He felt a smug smile come over his face. “Well I haven’t seen Blair in over a week but the last time I did, she was going all out to catch me.”
Nate let out a roar of laughter. “I don’t understand why she is doing this. Maybe to try and make me jealous, what do you think?”
His words made Chuck seen red. He set down his tumbler of scotch so he wouldn’t actually throw it in his former best friend’s face. “Nate.” His voice was soft and steely, a sure sign of trouble. “I am so fucking tired of hearing you say that Blair doesn’t want me! You have to get used to the fact that she doesn’t want you and she actually wants me!!” His voice exploded.
“Chuck, calm the fuck down. I’m just saying that I know she’s doing this to get back at me for sleeping with Serena. That can be the only reason.”
He set in face in a sneer and growled, “You are so fucking clueless.”
He had been so stupid to have even considered trying to stay away from Blair. Especially if this was the way that Nate was going to act. Fuck their friendship; he would rather be with Blair anyways.
He laughed. “Nathaniel, I don’t feel so bad for saying this now. I actually do want to be with B…”
There was a knock on the door. He growled in frustration, he had been so close to admitting to Nate that he wanted Blair. Whoever was at his door was going to pay for interrupting him.
Chuck marched over to the door and wrenched it open; Blair was standing on the other side. His eyes greedily feasted on her, he had actually missed not seeing her or talking to her. She looked like an absolute delectable dish as she was wearing a tight black skirt and a ruffled blouse. She didn’t spare Chuck a second glace.
Blair walked right over to Nate. “Hey, I actually wanted to run something by you.”
Chuck’s mouth about dropped open, why was she ignoring him like this? Just when he had been ready to give into her.
Nate smirked. “About what, us getting back together?”
She had to fight the urge to vomit. “No, I’m afraid not.”
Nate placed his arm around her shoulders and Chuck had to physically fight the urge to kick the shit out of him. “Blair, come on. I still want you and I know you feel the same way. Give me another chance.”
She pasted a fake smile on her face. “I’m don’t think so, Nate. Now if you would be so kind as to remove your hand before I crush it with my own.”
Chuck walked over to the couch and smirked as he sat down next to her. That was his girl. “I told you Nathaniel.”
Blair looked at both of them. “What’s going on here?”
Nate moved further away from the both of them. “Chuck is just mad because I told him that you didn’t really want him. That it was all a plan to get me back.”
“Right Nathaniel, but I’m also fucking pissed because you act like no one would ever want me. You’re just mad because Blair broke up with you and bruised your ego.”
Nate got up from the couch and got into his face. “Chuck, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. You better shut up before we get into a fight.”
Chuck stood up too. “Bring it.”
The plan was working perfectly in Blair’s mind but she had to intercede before they wound up really fighting. She got up and squeezed herself between them. “Stop it both of you.”
She looked up into Nate’s face. “For the record, I’ve meant what I said about us being over. Nothing you say is ever going to make me want to get back together with you. I wasn’t lying when I said that you bored me.”
Blair turned around to face Chuck. “I’m sorry about everything, Chuck. It was very selfish of me to chase you and it was a mistake. It won’t be happening anymore, and I do hope that you will accept my apology.”
His mouth dropped open. “Blair, wait.” She shook her head.
He didn’t believe her. “Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t want me anymore.”
Her eyes never wavered from his. “I don’t want you anymore, Chuck. I’m sorry I ever told you I did, but I think you were right when you said that it was just a fixation of mine.”
Chuck closed his mouth and let the pain course through his body. He welcomed the pain, the icy, jealous, pain that was threatening to burst out of his chest. He said nothing else.
Blair almost went over to him and placed her arm around him that was how forlorn he looked. But she didn’t, she was going to stick to the plan.
“Nate.” She called out and walked over to him. “The reason I came here is because I figured you would be here too. The thing is that since we’re going to be graduating soon I’ve decided to throw a little party for all of the seniors this weekend. I’m renting a huge sailboat and we’re going to go out in the harbor.”
Nate ignored the last few minutes of conversation that had happened. “That sounds great, Blair. I will definitely be there.”
She smiled. “Great.” She glanced over her shoulder at Chuck. “Well, the two of you are sort of a package deal, so I expect you to go too, Chuck. I’ll see you both tomorrow; don’t get into any fights while I’m gone.” She waved at Nate but didn’t look back at him, and she walked back out the door.
After a few more minutes, Nate left. They had both said they were sorry for yelling at each other but if he was honest, he was far from sorry. He still wanted to pound the shit out of Nate and he had never considered himself a violent person before.
He sank down on the sofa and covered his face with his hands. It had finally happened, he had fallen for somebody. He knew that it would happen someday but he never expected it to be Blair Waldorf. Her words were still in his mind and he hated that she had that much power over him, enough to make him miserable. And know he had to spend the whole weekend with her on a boat. He would never make it out alive.
She had broken him. The only thing now that he could do was make sure he stayed as far away from her as possible. The only problem with that solution was that he didn’t want to do it. He had effectively broken Blair’s heart and now his felt like it was cracked in half. Now, what the hell was he supposed to do?
To Be Continued…
A/N: I actually am really happy with this chapter, I think I did a pretty good job with it. It’s filled with emotions and feelings. Anyway, I’m going to be going out of commission again for a while since I have to have surgery on my ankle on Wed. But until then I will be updating frequently. The next chapter will pick up on the sailboating weekend that Blair has planned. I have a one shot that I am currently in the middle of writing and that should be posted on Saturday, no more updates until then. Hope you enjoy!

“Right Nathaniel, but I’m also fucking pissed because you act like no one would ever want me. You’re just mad because Blair broke up with you and bruised your ego.”
Nate got up from the couch and got into his face. “Chuck, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. You better shut up before we get into a fight.”
Chuck stood up too. “Bring it.”
The plan was working perfectly in Blair’s mind but she had to intercede before they wound up really fighting. She got up and squeezed herself between them. “Stop it both of you.”
She looked up into Nate’s face. “For the record, I’ve meant what I said about us being over. Nothing you say is ever going to make me want to get back together with you. I wasn’t lying when I said that you bored me.”
Blair turned around to face Chuck. “I’m sorry about everything, Chuck. It was very selfish of me to chase you and it was a mistake. It won’t be happening anymore, and I do hope that you will accept my apology.”
His mouth dropped open. “Blair, wait.” She shook her head.
He didn’t believe her. “Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t want me anymore.”
Her eyes never wavered from his. “I don’t want you anymore, Chuck. I’m sorry I ever told you I did, but I think you were right when you said that it was just a fixation of mine.”
Chuck closed his mouth and let the pain course through his body. He welcomed the pain, the icy, jealous, pain that was threatening to burst out of his chest. He said nothing else.
Blair almost went over to him and placed her arm around him that was how forlorn he looked. But she didn’t, she was going to stick to the plan.
“Nate.” She called out and walked over to him. “The reason I came here is because I figured you would be here too. The thing is that since we’re going to be graduating soon I’ve decided to throw a little party for all of the seniors this weekend. I’m renting a huge sailboat and we’re going to go out in the harbor.”
Nate ignored the last few minutes of conversation that had happened. “That sounds great, Blair. I will definitely be there.”
She smiled. “Great.” She glanced over her shoulder at Chuck. “Well, the two of you are sort of a package deal, so I expect you to go too, Chuck. I’ll see you both tomorrow; don’t get into any fights while I’m gone.” She waved at Nate but didn’t look back at him, and she walked back out the door.
After a few more minutes, Nate left. They had both said they were sorry for yelling at each other but if he was honest, he was far from sorry. He still wanted to pound the shit out of Nate and he had never considered himself a violent person before.
He sank down on the sofa and covered his face with his hands. It had finally happened, he had fallen for somebody. He knew that it would happen someday but he never expected it to be Blair Waldorf. Her words were still in his mind and he hated that she had that much power over him, enough to make him miserable. And know he had to spend the whole weekend with her on a boat. He would never make it out alive.
She had broken him. The only thing now that he could do was make sure he stayed as far away from her as possible. The only problem with that solution was that he didn’t want to do it. He had effectively broken Blair’s heart and now his felt like it was cracked in half. Now, what the hell was he supposed to do?
To Be Continued…
A/N: I actually am really happy with this chapter, I think I did a pretty good job with it. It’s filled with emotions and feelings. Anyway, I’m going to be going out of commission again for a while since I have to have surgery on my ankle on Wed. But until then I will be updating frequently. The next chapter will pick up on the sailboating weekend that Blair has planned. I have a one shot that I am currently in the middle of writing and that should be posted on Saturday, no more updates until then. Hope you enjoy!
