Authors Note: I just watched the latest Gossip Girl episode and was so charmed by Chuck and Blair it inspired me to write the second chapter early. Who do people want Serena with? Dan or Nate. I'm not really sure how I want her to end up later on but I'll go with the majority vote :) Also I haven't written sex scenes before so if it sucks just insert your own imaginary one in place of mine :P Enjoy!

Blair woke up slowly as the last of the sun's rays penetrated through the window on to her and gave her a headache, or maybe that thumping was from the copious amounts of hard liquor. Thank god she passed out before she could get to Chuck's.

She sat up and felt her stomach churn and the thumping in her temples got worse. Only once she forced her eyes to focus did she realise she wasn't actually at home and that she had fallen asleep after her embarrassing attempt at seduction. Damn.

"Oh crap."

Blair couldn't see Chuck anywhere so she thought a hasty escape was the best option under the circumstances, she didn't fancy being mocked when only half dressed. She quickly tugged her dress back on and was out the door in five minutes. She sighed slightly in relief as the elevator doors opened only to reveal the very person she was trying to avoid.

"Why hello sleeping beauty."

"The less said about this the better."

Blair felt her stomach begin to rise and unfortunately there was no graceful exit but rather an ungraceful dash back to the suite to vomit in the toilet. She could hear Chuck's laughed echoing behind.

"Here, I have your remedy."

"What's that?"

"Hair of the dog."

Chuck handed her a glass of wine.

"This is so tacky."

"Well it's either that or you go home and crawl into bed."

"Not an option I have my mother's dinner thing tonight and looking like death isn't the impression she wants me to make."

Chuck smirked and handed over the glass.

"You can't be the perfect daughter all day long, a little seductress every now and again is only healthy."

"Shut up, it was simply an error in judgement and if you mention it to anyone-"

"Don't worry I'll remain silent."

Blair collapsed back on to the bed.

"So were you drowning your sorrows about Nate?"

It wasn't hard to hear the evident disgust in his voice.

"It's none of your business."

"I like to make these things my business."

"What's the time?"

Chuck sighed.

"Almost six."

"Shit! I have to go home and shower and -"

"Just do it all here and I'll drop you home in time for dinner."

Blair eyed him suspiciously.

"Why would you do that?"

Chuck laughed.

"What can I say? I'm flattered that you were desperate to have sex with me and it's brought you my good will for the rest of the evening."

Blair usually would have retaliated with a snarky comment but the fact was he wasn't lying and she still did want him on his back, even when she was sober. She thought it best to ignore him.

"I'm going to freshen up then."

As she was walking towards the bathroom she suddenly blurted out.

"Do you want to come?"

"To the boring dinner you're dreading?"

"Uh huh."

"Why not."

He smiled slyly at her and she hoped he couldn't pick up on her longing for him to join her in the shower. What was wrong with her?

An hour later and Chuck and Blair were riding the elevator to her apartment. Chuck looked amazing in a black suit and shirt, he smelled delicious too but the close proximity of the elevator was making her light headed and undeniable horny. Just as she was about to mentally scold herself again Chuck reached his hand down and cupped her ass.

Blair squealed in surprise and was about to smack it away or worse jump him, when the doors opened and other guests were walking past. Chuck was sniggering to himself and Blair said nothing.

"Blair Waldorf where have you been? I come home and you're not here with no note or whether you were going to be late and now you're late anyway which is in terrible taste you know."

Blair sighed.

"Sorry I was in the library catching up on some work."

Eleanor looked unconvinced but Chuck's appearance at her side distracted her.

"Chuck Bass, what a pleasant surprise, you're staying to eat I hope?"

"Only if it's not inconvenient Ms Waldorf, it's rude to come without any warning but I've heard wonderful things about these dinners so I find myself imposing on you."

If it had been any other one of Blair's friends it may have been an annoyance for her mother but Chuck Bass was the richest of the rich and Eleanor was already formulating wedding plans and marriage wealth before they had put away their coats. Nate was out of the picture, but Chuck was certainly no matrimonial downgrade.

"You are such a brown noser."

Chuck smirked.

"What can I say? Parents love me."

As they sat down to dinner Chuck had lost his typical smugness and frankly, looked uncomfortable. He would barely raise his eyes from his food unless he was asked a question.

"So Patty and Dick, how was your trip to Europe?"

Patricia and Richard Rutherford were sitting opposite Chuck and Blair at the top end of the table near Eleanor who was at the head. The Rutherfords were textiles giants and had invested long ago in Eleanor's franchises.

"Oh it was wonderful thank you Eleanor, we went to all the usual spots. Italy was so romantic we couldn't help ourselves and brought a vineyard there."

Blair felt that sitting in silence wasn't going to get her back on her mother's good side so she tried to join in.

"Mrs Rutherford, where abouts is the vineyard? I've always wanted to see Florence and Milan."

"It's just outside of Cortona in Tuscany, if you are ever travelling that way you must take advantage of your mother's contacts and stay with us."

"I'd love to, Chuck doesn't your dad have a villa near there?"

Blair was trying to include her friend but the look he gave her said he'd rather the ground swallow him whole. Still, manners demanded a reply.

"Yes but I think its on the other side of Florence, who knows, he has properties in half the developed world these days. It's hard to keep track."

Eleanor looked on admiringly but Patty seemed as if she had been slapped in the face upon meeting his gaze. What the hell was going on?

"Could you excuse us for a moment?"

Blair got up and Chuck followed looking highly relieved.

"What's up with you? Are you allergic to lobster or something?"

"I need a stiff drink, can we down a few on the balcony?"

"Then will you tell me?"

"I'll tell you anything with a whisky in my hand."

"Fine."

So they escaped on to the balcony off her mother's room where they were least likely to be found, Chuck was nursing a whisky and Blair sipping from a bottle of chardonnay.

"So?"

"I didn't know Patricia was a family friend of your mother's."

"Why does that matter?"

"Patricia was acquainted with my father and lets just say that her husband wasn't pleasing her in the way she required. I offered to take some of the slack, after all it makes more than two to make a marriage work."

"You slept with her?"

"Yes, I learnt a lot from her, there's something about an older woman-"

"You're disgusting."

"What? I ended it when my father found out but I don't think she's forgiven me."

"For what?"

"Giving her life-changing sex and then letting her go back to her husband who didn't have a clue."

"You are such an arrogant ass."

Chuck grinned.

"Yes I am."

He was staring at her and even in the darkness she could see the heat behind his eyes, the primal hunger that was making her wet and she hated him for it.

"Stop looking at me like that."

"Why?"

"It's creepy and wrong."

They were sitting so close to each other that when he leaned over so smell her and his nose came into contact with her neck she actually shivered.

"You don't have to fight it you know."

Blair said nothing.

"You can have me anytime you want and no one need know about it."

Blair closed her eyes and let Chuck slip a hand in between her legs, she let her head fall back against the railing and spread her legs a little more.

"Wow I'm impressed."

Why did he have to know how moist he had made her? The last thing Bass needed was another ego boost.

"No talking or I'm leaving."

Chuck laughed as he worked his magic and began kissing her neck. She could hear the noise of voices and glasses inside but they seemed like they were in another world. All noise seemed to fade until all she could hear was their heavy breathing and the unzipping of Chuck's pants.

His hands were like fire, every part of her body that he touched burned up. He had yanked her dress down so he could undo her bra and have access to her breasts and she was stroking him shyly as he moved on top of her. She couldn't believe this was happening, Chuck obviously couldn't either because before he entered her he asked if she was sure.

"Yes just do it."

He slid off her underwear expertly.

"Are you certain?"

She could see him smiling, teasing her into begging for him but her whimpering must have been acknowledgement enough because he granted her wish and was inside her. Her legs wrapped around him automatically and she clung to him for dear life as she listened to their moaning into each other. She was glad she wasn't drunk, the sensations were overwhelming in their clarity and she nearly screamed when Chuck began fingering her clit while thrusting in and out of her. His mouth, his hands, his cock were all working in harmony to bring her to an earth shattering orgasm. When she cried out it was mainly drowned out by the traffic below but was loud enough for Chuck to cover her mouth with his as he came too.

They just lay there for several minutes getting their breath back. Chuck was still inside her and she was still wrapped around him but she had relaxed much more and found herself twirling her finger in his hair.

"That was okay."

She tried to sound nonchalant but they both knew she was lying.

"Just okay?"

He was whispering into her neck and she couldn't help but giggle.

Before they could attempt anything more she heard her mother calling out distantly for her. Chuck separated himself from her reluctantly as they both made themselves presentable. Thankfully the cool air was filtering out the smell of sex that hung in the air.

"Blair?"

They were both standing looking like they were chatting.

"Sorry mum I was feeling a bit queasy so we got some air, I was showing Chuck the amazing view you had."

Eleanor sighed.

"Why don't you guys go and have some fun, the guests are fine without you and I'm sure Chuck has more interesting things to do."

"No I assure you Mrs Waldorf Blair has been keeping me very entertained."

Blair laughed awkwardly.

"You're right we should get out of your hair but thanks for a lovely dinner mother."

Blair practically dragged Chuck out of the apartment with Patricia watching them go wistfully.

"So where are we going princess?"

"I have no idea I don't know anything anymore."

Chuck looked at her seriously.

"Look the ball is in your court. You can go into your usual bubble of denial and fuck me whenever you're feeling low because I am totally up for that or you can admit there is something here."

"Or I could pretend this never happened and go back to how it was before.

"You don't want that."

"Oh and why not?"

"Because your legs are still shaking and whether you like it or not we have chemistry."

"I agree but you're not cut out for a relationship and I don't want another one so I think it's best we have a casual thing."

"Friends with benefits? I can't say I'm unfamiliar with the term"

"I bet. However my conditions are that you don't sleep with anyone but me and that we keep it a secret."

"The secret part I can deal with I don't mind being your guilty pleasure but the fidelity thing sounds an awful lot like a relationship and not very casual."

"Take it or leave it, I'm not fucking you if I don't know where you've been and besides you'll enjoy me more in moderation."

"Well it all depends on how often you are willing to let me have my way with you."

"When I feel like it."

Chuck smirked, this was like a dream come true, having stringless sex with one of his best friends who happened to be gorgeous and totally in control. He could feel himself getting hard at the thought of such a future.

"Deal."

Blair smiled smugly.

"Well lover boy I'm going to Serena's."

They entered the elevator and when Chuck once again cupped her ass, this time she hit the emergency button and did jump him. Neither of them knew where this Blair had emerged from but they were enjoying it too much to care. Thoughts of going to Serena's had vanished from her mind when her second orgasm washed over her, suddenly Chuck was kneeling down in front of her with a devilish grin on his face.

"What are you doing?"

Chuck laughed.

"You haven't lost all your innocent I'm glad to see."

His head was under her dress before she knew what was happening and decided exchanging intermittent vanilla sex with Nate who she loved for insanely erotic sex with Chuck was not so bad after all.
