Chapter 4: Can't Get Enough
The next day...
(Tyler's Point of View)
Tyler was at The Grill. He sat at the bar with his head down, playing with his next drink. He wanted to sit there unnoticed without anyone coming up to him, cause he really wasn't in the mood.
He'd been moping around his house all day, replaying the events of last night. Rejection washed through him as he remembered the way Caroline's hand pushed him off of her and slammed the door in his face.
He didn't know why he was even here. He had no business here. He had no one to see, no one to be with. He was alone and that's exactly what he wanted.
Tyler down his seventh drink.
God, how lame could I get.
It was only 6 in the evening and he was already downing drinks like there was no tomorrow. He was usually the late night drinker, he never drank this early, unless it was at one of his mother's parties.
All of a sudden, laughter radiated the building. The high pitched noise made Tyler cringe while he ordered his next drink. The bartender gave him a concerned look but continued to make the drink as ordered.
Tyler turned around.
Matt and Caroline. Together.
He put his hands on the edge of the table, about to push himself off his chair and leave, but the bartender placed his drink down in front of him.
He couldn't resist.
Whenever Tyler had too much on his mind, he'd always have a drink or two to alleviate his thoughts and make them go away. Basically, he wanted to get drunk. But being a werewolf, the drinks weren't getting him drunk; they were helping soothe the burning in his skin.
Another 10 drinks and that should do me.
He downed his eighth drink. He felt the burning in his skin get cool as the drink went down his throat.
The sound of Caroline's sweet voice echoed in his ears. He clenched his fists.
Why was she with him?
His mind was racing with plans on how to lure Caroline away from Matt. He wanted to lure her to himself. He hated the way her hands were all over Matt. How she laughed at everything Matt said. How she was here with Matt and not him.
He saw Matt's hand travelling down Caroline's back, his hands were gently caressing the fabric of her light pink sweater. He wanted rip Matt to pieces if Matt's hand travelled lower than the small of her back.
Tyler's animalistic genes were getting the better of him. A deep growl vibrated in his chest, as Matt's hand lingered over Caroline's hip. His breathing got noticeably quicker and heavier.
He was staring at her, in want and need. His eyes sinking deep into her back. She must have felt his stare because she turned around, her soft blue eyes widening at the menacing look Tyler provided.
He glanced down at his empty glass, quickly regretting ever coming to The Grill.
Tyler heard her whisper something to Matt. But with Tyler's senses, it sounded louder, he could hear every sound that bounced off the walls.
"Hey, look I have to go now. So, I'll see you around?" Caroline breathed, putting her hand on Matt's arm to keep her balance in her black suede boots.
Matt obviously didn't seem to mind, "bye Care, I'll see you around."
Tyler heard Matt's footsteps stalk off into the back of the restaurant. He heard an all too familiar sigh as Caroline carefully walked towards where Tyler was seated.
He raised his hand and ordered another drink.
A few moments passed and she finally took a seat beside him.
The bartender placed the drink in front of him. His hand slowly reached for it but Caroline's hands brushed passed his and swiped the drink out of his hands.
She drank the glass clean and slammed it down on the counter.
"I needed that," she exhaled.
"I know what you mean." He kept his gaze away from hers. If he looked at her, he probably wouldn't be able to stop staring.
"Look Tyler, we need to talk about what happened last night and just everything.." She was rambling and Tyler didn't like that.
She went to put her hand on his arm but he pulled away. She opened her mouth to say something.
He put his hand up, ordering her to shut up. In a rough voice he growled, "Caroline.. Just stop."
The sound of his voice startled her. He quickly glanced at her face and saw something glistening in her eyes.
Oh, fuck.
"Do you need a ride home?" He asked, being nice to her now. It always seemed like everything he said to her, would make her want to never speak to him again or worse, hurt her. But he didn't want that. He wanted her to be happy. He needed to be with her. He took his wallet out and pulled out a couple of crisp bills and placed it under one of the empty glasses.
He heard her breath catch in her throat, she gulped and nodded.
Tyler slid off his seat and started walking towards the door, expecting Caroline to follow course. But when she didn't, Tyler turned around.
Was she going to sit there until I dragged her out?
"You coming?" He seethed in an impatient tone of voice.
She finally snapped back into reality, grabbed her bag and rushed out the door with Tyler right behind.
(Caroline's Point of View)
She was in Tyler's car now and they were almost at her house. The last 15 minutes in his car were full of silence. Not one of the spoke a single word to each other. She wasn't breathing and she didn't notice until now.
She sucked in a mouthful of air and noticed the house they were at. It was her cue to leave, but she didn't. For some reason she was glued to her seat like she still had unfinished business with Tyler.
She knew Tyler wasn't going to put up with this when he mumbled, "for fuck's sakes Caroline." But she stayed plastered to her seat as Tyler got out of the car and made his way to her door.
He opened the door for Caroline, eyeing her as she made her way out of the car. She stumbled as both of her feet made contact with the ground.
Stupid boots. This is the second time this has happened!
Tyler put one hand on the side of her hip as he steadied her. With his other hand he closed the car door shut, all while keeping his eyes on her face.
"Thanks," she whispered. Her face shyed away and she looked at her shoulder. She wasn't used to such intimate moments with Tyler. He was the re-known dick of Mystic Falls. He wasn't intimate or affectionate like he was acting right now.
Sure he was sexual, but I'm pretty sure were not having sex in the driveway against his car.
He was standing in front of her as he took a step forward and Caroline reflexively took a step backwards, her back hitting his car behind her.
Shit. I'm trapped
Both of his hands were on each side of Caroline's hips now, preventing her from making an attempted escape. She looked at his strong arms, she bit her lip when she saw his muscles flex. She looked straight into his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Caroline asked curiously. She was slowly becoming aware of his intentions.
He pressed his body against hers, his head ducked to her ear. "I want you," he whispered as quietly as the wind.
She couldn't fully process what was happening with the way his lips trailed down her neck, pressing small kisses down to her collarbone.
"Wh-what?" She was fighting the feeling in her body, her eyes were slowly rolling into the back of her head as she enjoyed the sensuous feeling of his warm lips.
"You heard me," his voice was rough, and hot against her skin. He started to trail his lips up to her face, lightly kissing the side of her mouth.
"Tyler," she groaned. She didn't like the way he teased her. It was either, he was going to kiss her or he was going to fuck off. There was no in between.
Her hands snaked around his neck as he pressed his lips against hers.
The kiss started off slow, innocent little kisses here and there. Tyler was controlling the whole situation, he was the one who had her backed up against his car. She was trapped with nowhere to go and nothing else to do but kiss him until one of her neighbours decide called her mother and the both of them would be in deep trouble.
She tried to push him towards her front porch but he wouldn't budge. She knew she was stronger than him but not when he had his mouth on hers kissing the living daylights out of her.
One hand went up to cup her cheek. She didn't know how cold she was until she felt her face melt in his hands.
Tyler's lips were becoming insistent trying to deepen the kiss but only Caroline could decide this one. Her lips parted just slightly, it was her turn to tease him. His mouth melted inside hers but when he pulled back just a bit she closed her mouth.
He broke off the kiss, "Caroline," he groaned. He was getting angry because he wasn't getting what he wanted from her, not unless she had a say in this situation.
With a rush of adrenaline, he roughly found her lips again, parting them open while Caroline struggled to say something.
Between the kisses she was saying, "Tyler... The house... Neighbours.. Watching..."
Tyler must have strung the words together in a sentence that made sense because he was moving backwards towards her front door, his hands tugging at her hips and his lips lingering on her neck.
Once they were at the door she reached behind Tyler, opened the door and pushed him inside.
He pulled her flush against his body, the second she got the door closed. His lips attacking hers in pure lust. Caroline knew that he wanted this badly, he wanted her badly. She knew that ever since Tyler discovered his being a werewolf that night, he spent more and more time with her, not any other girl. So obviously she knew that he wanted this. He hasn't had this in a while.
Neither had she.
Maybe this isn't a bad idea after all.
Tyler started to push Caroline up the stairs as his lips moved with hers, never leaving her. They were halfway up when Caroline stumbled back onto the staircase, breaking their kiss.
"Sorry," she mumbled. Caroline was full of embarrassment.
You'd think cause I'm a vampire now, I'd be a little more graceful.
Tyler didn't seem to care though, he let out a low laugh; he was too focused on her, on what was going to happen.
Not wasting any more time he put his hand around her slender body and pulled her up.
They finally got to her bedroom door. Caroline's back was up against her door, as his mouth found hers. She swore that if Tyler put any more pressure on body, the door would cave in and they would both go crashing down.
But she didn't care, she was too into Tyler's lips, the way they made her feel... Like she was on top of the world.
Tyler's arms sneaked around her and held the small of her back as her arms went around his neck. Her hands went in his hair, gently pulling as her legs swung around his body.
He groaned into their kiss as he put one hand on her ass to support her.
Caroline reached around her back and felt for the doorknob and when she finally got the door wide open. He carried her towards her bed.
(Tyler's Point of View)
He gently laid her down on her soft bed, her golden curls sprawling around her beautiful face.
He moved his body, grinding his hips into hers. His head dove down to meet hers and he captured her hips with his own. He smiled into the kiss.
Caroline must have noticed because she brought her head back away from Tyler's and examined his face.
"What?" She questioned.
"I have to be home soon." He flashed her a wicked grin, knowing she wasn't going to be happy.
"What!" Her voice was breathy, and he liked how it was all because of him.
"Mom's orders. You know I'd stay if I could." He smiled, keeping his position on top of her.
"Ugh! Tyler! You are such a tease. Get off me!" She put his hands on his chest about to forcefully push him off of her with all her might but his lips were on hers again, only for a second this time.
"You love it." He winked at her and she made a face at him.
God, she's so cute. How could you possibly leave her all alone, by herself when you already got her in her bedroom?
He turned and started towards her bedroom door.
"Hey, Tyler?"
He turned around. She was propped up on her arms, her face showing a small smile.
"Thanks for the ride." Her smile grew even bigger, showing her perfectly white teeth.
"Anytime." He smirked and with that he was out door.
There is a link on my profile of Caroline's outfit. I made a collage and I think it's really cute so check it out! Soo... What did you think? Probably not as good as other chapters but things are going to move slowly between them. I don't want this story to go A/U, I want to keep it as close to the plot as possible. Just with more Tyler/Caroline scenes and since the next episode isn't until JANUARY 27TH- which I am completely outraged about- I have to plan carefully for the next few chapters! Anyways, I hope you liked this!
Please review! Any feedback is greatly appreciated and any ideas, PLEASE feel free to inbox me :) I would love to incorporate any ideas that you have into my story!
I hope you ALL have a Merry Christmas... Even if it's the day after haha.. Happy Holidays! xo
