A/N: Okay so this is taken from my Let's go slowly compilation because this is setting up my multichapter story. The next chapter is new content.

Blair was in between a rock and a hard place. Here she was in an elevator with a boy that she really could see herself loving but…yet the sex that the just experienced together was less than stellar. She knew that she needed to bring it up because she promised herself nothing but honesty in this relationship. But how do you tell a guy you really care about how you didn't arrive at your stop on the sex train you just rode with him…without making him feel inadequate. 'I guess it would be best to just rip the band aid off.' Blair thought to herself while glancing over at Dan. He was looking down at his shuffling feet. He looked so downtrodden. 'Maybe he feels the same way? Well I guess I should find out.'

Dan's head shot up when he felt the elevator stop suddenly. Blair's finger was still on the emergency stop button as she glanced back at Dan with a small smile on her face. 'Here we go…the let's just be friends speech.' Dan thought closing his eyes and exhaling loudly.

"Dan…I think I might need to clarify something." Blair said nervously playing with her purse.

"Sure…but couldn't this have waited until we were on solid ground?" Dan bit off will a little too much frustration behind it.

"I…uh…well…I'd rather just talk to you about it now…get it all out." Blair said trying to find his eyes.

"Yeah, okay then. Let's just get this over with." Dan said continuing to avoid her eyes.

"Well, when I said 'wow' before after…you know. I didn't mean it as 'wow' that was amazing…I meant it as 'wow' that was terrible." Blair said thinking going the direct route would be best.

"Yeah, I meant it that way too. So let me guess…you are going to say this is all my fault?" Dan said immediately taking a defensive stance.

"Well…um…I thought you enjoyed yourself. I mean you should have it has been like over a year for you right?" Blair said trying to sort through what stance Dan was taking towards this conversation.

"You are kidding me right? Blair, it takes two to have good sex – and even though I might have been a little rusty, I sure as hell didn't have the best time either." Dan said looming over her…as if ready to pounce.

"Well, I mean it just felt like you were trying too hard. Like you were nervous or something…which is completely understandable…I mean…"

"That's enough Blair. Yeah maybe I was trying too hard and nervous but c'mon Blair! You set me up for that role. You came over to my place in the middle of the day practically naked demanding sex. Like I was some sort of show pony that should perform for you on command!" Dan spat out.

"I thought you would enjoy that! I didn't know you were such a prude, Humphrey! I wanted to have sex with you! I thought you would be happy about it…not fail to rise to the occasion." Blair said gearing up for the fight she should have seen coming.

"Blair, are you serious? I don't treat sex like you do! Sex for me is supposed to be meaningful…not a means to an ends. You can't really believe that you didn't set me up for failure with the show you put on!" Dan said taking a step forward towards her.

"Are you trying to say that sex has no meaning for me? Cause that is what I am hearing, Humphrey! I was trying to turn you on! I didn't realize you would take it so badly!" Blair said taking a step towards her.

"Blair…" Dan said softening a little bit. "You don't need to do anything over the top to turn me on. You just do it naturally with who you are, how you are…every little stupid thing you do drives me crazy. I just…I don't know…maybe we weren't ready to take that next step." Dan said running a hand down his face and sighing in frustration.

Blair softened a little as well. "Maybe you're right. I mean…maybe I did push it too fast. I just…sex has always been so important in all my other big relationships…I didn't think you'd want to wait."

"Blair, I have been waiting so long for this…for us. Sex is not the most important thing to me. Just being able to call you mine…and kiss you anytime I want too…and to be there for you…that is what I want." Dan said taking her hands.

Blair looked up at Dan and smiled. "So what did we just decide...?" Blair said playing with Dan's fingers.

"Well, I think we just decided to slow things down a bit…take a step back." Dan said instantly regretting the way it sounded coming out of his mouth.

"Okay…slow. I guess slow can be good." Blair said thinking that what Dan just said made it seem they were pumping the brakes before they even put the car into drive.

"Great." Dan said.

"Fine."

"Fine.

"Good."

"Do you always need to have the last word?" Dan said with a slight chuckle.

"Yes…you should know that by now Humphrey." Blair said softly with a sexy smile.

Looking at each other suddenly the room felt thick with something they couldn't really describe. But if they would have to friends afterwards they would just say…magic. Their lips crashed down on each other's hastily and the kiss quickly took an urgent and erotic tone.

Dan's had started running up and down Blair's side squeezing and quickly coming into contact with the sides of her breasts making Blair involuntary breathy moan into his mouth. He pulled back a little from her mouth making her cutely chase his lips and frown.

There were no words needed…looking into each other eye's they knew they had found at least a temporary solution. Dan reached out staring straight into Blair's lust filled brown eyes and she stared back seeing for what seemed like the first time how much love Dan had for her. Her, Blair Waldorf, not Serena or anyone else and it took her breathe away.

Dan slowly helped her pull her jacket off leaning in to kiss her neck lightly after it fell to the floor. Blair sighed closing her eye relishing the feeling it brought to her…incredible lust and yearning. Her lower abdomen began filling with the familiar yet all too foreign feeling of arousal. It felt like an eternity since a simple kiss to the sweet spot of her neck brought about this strong of a reaction from her and she was thankful that finally it had happened again…especially because it was elicited by Dan's lips. Overcome with the need to feel Dan's skin against her, Blair made quick work of Dan's jacket and his flannel shirt buttons. Dan laughed a bit against her neck at her haste…but stop laughing when he pulled back to help her with her shirt. Even though he saw the lacy red bra not too long ago, he was still floored with the power it had over him.

"You're so beautiful." Dan said before he captured her lips again. Blair hungrily returned the kiss finally finishing the buttons off of his shirt and quickly ridding him of it. Once it was off, Blair pulled his neck and chest toward her so they were flush again one another and Dan roughly yet gently pushed her up against the wall, his arms bracing her behind her back.

While their tongues dueled for dominance over each other, Dan's hand fumbled a bit with her bra strap while Blair made quick work of divesting him of his belt and pants. Frustrated, Dan moved away a bit and said, "You think I would have remembered the clasp was in the front…do you see what you do to me Waldorf?"

Blair smiled seductively and unclasped the bra herself letting it slowly slide down her arms and onto the floor. "Well, soon you will see what you have done to me…Dan…God…you are making me so wet…I am so ready for you."

Dan stared and bit and bit down on his lower lip. Then he leaned in to give her a sweet kiss on her lips. He then surprised her enough for Blair's eyes to shoot open by going down to his knees in front of her, gliding his hands all the way down her body until he stopped at the top of her skirt. He leaned in to kiss, lick and suck each breast, her belly button and each of her thighs on the way down as well. Blair's skirt and panties were on the floor before she sucked in another breath...and then she felt Dan's hot breathe against her throbbing core. Her knees almost gave out when she felt him tentatively kiss her nether lips, but Dan's arms were there for her…holding her steady. She briefly thought to herself that his arms have always been there for her, never ever letting her fall. Her eyes were tightly shut, anticipating his next move and she was getting impatient, "Dan…please." Blair whispered breathily.

"Look at me and tell me what you want me to do…" Dan said staring up at her gently massaging her sides.

"I want you…to…taste me…I want you to see how you are making me so incredibly ready for you." Blair whispered a little shocked at how when she said it she was a little embarrassed. She had never before been asked what she wanted someone to do for her.

Dan smiled cockily and open her lips to him and blew cool air on her sex before saying against it, "My thoughts exactly." Blair moaned too loudly at that she nearly came undone just then. But she fell over the edge a truly a few seconds later when Dan's tongue gently sucked and flicked her clit.

"Oh…Dan…yes…God I need you …right now." Blair said bringing him back up to her to kiss him hungrily. She never really allowed anyone to kiss her after that act before…but something about tasting herself mixed with Dan's taste made her want to every time after...

As she was trying to climb up Dan's bent legs he lost his footing and tumbled to the ground bringing Blair with him. They looked at each and shared a light laugh. "Are you okay?" They both said simultaneously and shared another laugh… then the laughter stopped and they fell silent finding each other lust fills eyes again. Dan sat up and leaned in kissing her softly while rubbing his throbbing erection against her wetness. He groaned when she gyrated around him and then quickly flipped them over never breaking the kiss…yet ever the polite one made sure Blair's body was positioned on his jacket-so she wouldn't feel the coldness of the floor. She smiled into his kiss when she realized his inherent need to keep her comfortable and happy. She breathed out a, "Dan, please…" And he obliged, thrusting himself into her to the hilt.

They both broke away from the kiss at the same time to make loud moans at the incredible feeling. Then opened their eyes and stared at each other for a moment. Dan brought his hand up to push stray strands of dark brown hair that were partially covering her gorgeous eyes. Blair blushed. She never felt so wanted…so loved in all her life. As she realized this, Dan kissed her eyes, her nose, her forehead and then her lips, and pulled away again slightly to whisper, "I love you…" Eyes locking onto hers so she could know that he wasn't saying it because of their position…but because he was making love to her…not just having sex. Blair's eyes watered a little as she realized, making love to Dan was better than any sex she had had with anyone else.

Dan starting slowly moving after this, after every thrust he would kiss her lips, neck, and shoulder, anything he could find. While Blair's hands grasped her shoulders, silently urging him to keep speeding up and go harder. Dan knew what she wanted from him but he wanted to hear it from her lips, "Tell me…say what you want."

Blair moaned loudly when she felt of the vibrations of his voice reverberate against her neck and came for the second time that night, throwing her head back as she went. When she came back, ready for more, she breathed barely audibly, "Faster, harder…please."

Dan smiled and then repeated, "My thoughts exactly…" He started pounding into her with a renewed vigor. As Blair bit down on his neck and her soft warm walls clenched down on his shaft, he knew he wasn't going to last much longer. Wanting to take her to the extreme edge this time… he picked her body up and changed the position he was in effectively hitting her g-spot. Blair went off like a canon at that. She writhed and dug her nails into his back-marking her territory, repeatedly moaning his name and other non-words loudly into her ear. Dan finally came as her walls milked him for everything he had. Dan collapsed on top of her, but carefully not crushing her and after gaining a bit of breath; he turned his head to kiss her temple. Blair's eyes were closed but when she felt that sweet romantic gesture she smiled and lazily opened them to gaze at him. After a few moments, Dan withdrew from her, both instantly feeling the loss…and gathered Blair up in his arms. He took her jacket and draped it around them while they lay face to face with one another, arms around each other and legs stacked. They both caressed each other's bodies lazily with their hands as if trying to memorize every dip, scar, freckle and rise of each other.

Sure. This time wasn't the most perfect. There were some missteps and awkward moments. But sex isn't about perfection. It is about discovering the person's likes and needs. And this time…the both definitely reached the end station. Blair actually arrived more than once and then caught a plane.

In the afterglow, lying in each other arms they looked into each other eyes and smiling brightly for what seemed like eternity...they both felt like time had stopped and they were the only two people in the world. And then someone broke the silent spell they were under.

"Umm…you guys are going to have to clear out of the lift before we call the cops." The hotel security guard said over the PA system.

Dan and Blair burst out laughing and help each other get into their clothes faster than they just got out of them. Once they hit the ground floor…Dan took Blair's hand and sprinted through the lobby to the front door. Once around the corner…hit took her into an empty alleyway-where they decided that going slow wasn't really fun at all. So they went fast again...twice.

So...yeah. Hope you guys enjoyed that. Keep an eye out for another update tomorrow night. It will be another way I see the show tackling the problem of Dair's bad first time.
