Summary: Kathryn turns to Sebastian for help after finding out about her mother and Chandler.
Chapter 5: Nowhere To Turn
"Ohhh...god yes" Tiffani Merteuil purred as her young lover started to ride her. Throwing back her head in ecstasy she was completely oblivious to the fact that her only daughter was standing right outside the door gawking at them in shock.
To Kathryn the whole thing was like a train wreck. It was hideous and disturbing but she found herself unable to look away. There in her mothers bed was her supposedly faithful and loving boyfriend. God it was too hideous for words!
Eventually she backed away from the doorway. Kathryn knew she could barge in there, cause a scene and she knew exactly what would happen if she did. Chandler would apologize profusely then get out of there as fast as he could all the while her mother would give her a triumphant gloating smile. No she wouldn't give the women the satisfaction of interrupting them. Besides she was far too sickened to get a closer look.
Still Kathryn realized she couldn't stay in the house. Just the idea that the two of them were just down the hall fucking each other silly would drive her insane. She had to get the hell out of there and fast.
Without even thinking she ran outside only to find it was raining. Still Kathryn ignored the fact that her new Roberto Cavalli dress was getting destroyed and ordered the driver to pull the car around while the doorman struggled to get the umbrella open for her. Once she was safely inside her limo, Adam her driver asked "where to Ms. Merteuil?"
For some reason the question stumped her. Normally she would tell him to take her to Jane's or one of her other useless friends but this time it was different. This was far too humiliating to confess to one of her so called friends. They would only turn around and laugh at her behind her back. The sad fact was that Kathryn really didn't have any true friends. As she struggled to come up with some where to go only one place came to mind and she really didn't want to go to him but what choice did she have.
Wiping a strand of wet hair from her forehead she told him "81st and Madison."
* * * * * *
"Ohh Sebastian can we do it again?" Gretchen Hart begged as she straddled his waist. "Only this time I want to be on top."
Looking at the naked cheerleader sitting on his lap Sebastian tried to muster up some desire to go another round with her but couldn't. With her large breasts and big brown eyes she was more than attractive, she was beautiful yet he didn't want her. Been there, done that.
He leaned into her as if to kiss her but before his lips made contact Sebastian told her "I need a drink." Then with a careless push he moved her off his lap and got out of the bed.
Gretchen pouted "what's wrong with you tonight?"
"Nothing" he sighed pouring himself a shot.
"I want to play some more" she whined.
"Why don't you and Emily play" he suggested as he looked over at the younger, blond cheerleader laying at the foot of the bed.
Smiling Gretchen crawled over to the seemingly bored Emily and began to kiss her. Strangely enough even the sight of two beautiful cheerleaders making out in front of him did nothing to Sebastian's libido. Maybe he was becoming too jaded he mused or maybe it was something else.
Right away he knew what that something else was, Kathryn Merteuil. He wanted to kick himself for giving a damn about the stupid bitch. She was just another spoiled rich girl, nothing special, nothing he hadn't seen a hundred times before and yet...he still wanted her. Hell he craved her, she was all he thought about and no matter how much he tried to ignore her Sebastian couldn't get her out of his head.
Today he had finally gotten the upper hand with her and instead of celebrating with the two beautiful vixens in his bed what was he doing? Getting drunk and moping about Kathryn.
Pulling her mouth away from the blond Gretchen asked "are you going to join us or what?"
Sebastian scowled as he grabbed the bottle of oil on his desk and tossed it to her. "Rub her down" he instructed.
Gretchen did as instructed but she still eyed him suspiciously. Finally she inquired "what's with you lately?"
"None of your business" he growled while taking his camera out and snapping a few shots. "Now move your hand down to her-"
Before Sebastian could get the instruction out his bedroom door opened and Kathryn came rushing him. She was soaking wet and judging by the look on her face not exactly pleased either. Sebastian and the cheerleaders looked up at her stunned but Kathryn only said "we need to talk."
"Do we?" Gesturing to the two girls he told her "we're sort of in the middle of something."
Kathryn glared at the two girls as if seeing them for the first time. "Get out" she ordered in a voice so cooled and filled with malice that both girls quickly scurried to their feet and grabbed their clothes. A half a minute later they were out the door leaving Sebastian and Kathryn all alone.
Once the door was closed behind them Sebastian watched as she charged up to the desk and poured herself a shot. "Do you have something against me getting laid or do you just enjoy breaking my balls?"
Downing her drink she shrugged carelessly "both actually."
Sebastian had enough of this and promptly charged over to her and grabbed the bottle out of her hand. "Ok either tell me why you're here or get the fuck out."
Kathryn pulled the bottle back and poured another shot "I'm here because..."
"Yes"
"I'm here because I had no where else to go" she muttered quietly.
"Oh I doubt that" Sebastian sighed. "What about Chandler or one of your little groupies?"
Kathryn purposely avoided his gaze "I can't go to them about this."
"Why not?"
"Because" she said turning around suddenly "as pathetic as it is you're the only real friend I have!"
Sebastian was more than a little startled by this namely because this might have been the only complimentary thing Kathryn had ever said to him. Normally he would think she was playing with him, that this was another one of her games but looking at her he knew for once it wasn't. Softly Sebastian asked "what happened?"
Kathryn leaned back and sat on his desk while slowly taking another drink. "I found out who Chandler has been screwing around with."
"Oh, anyone I know?"
Looking down at her drink she muttered "Tiffani Merteuil"
Sebastian regarded her with surprise "is she your cousin or something."
She looked up at him with a look so full of malice it chilled him to the bone. "She's my mother" she hissed.
At first all Sebastian could do was gawk at her as he tried to grasp what she just told him but soon his surprise gave way to laughter. "Holy shit are you kidding me?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Kathryn got to her feet and nearly screamed "stop laughing, this isn't funny!"
"Says you" he chuckled "I find it all very amusing."
"Stop laughing at me!" She yelled as she flung her shot glass against the wall.
Immediately Sebastian stopped and looked over at the broken glass scattered on the floor. "I'm sorry" he told her "I wasn't laughing at you I was laughing at the situation."
Shaking her head she said "do you have any idea what will happen if this gets out? I'll never live it down."
"Then make sure no one finds out"
"I plan to" Kathryn began pacing his room and began speaking more to herself that to him. "I'm going to get that bastard back for this, that's a guarantee but I also have show that social climbing bitch that she can't do this to me."
Taking a sip from the vodka bottle Sebastian asked "you are still talking about you're mother right?"
"Of course" she stopped pacing and looked over at him. "All my life she has been making me miserable. Trying to control every aspect of it." Laughing bitterly she told him "she was the one who pushed me off on Chandler, then she turns around and starts fucking him behind my back."
"All right so what are you going to do? I shouldn't have to remind you're going to have to tread carefully with this one. After all I take it the women controls your trust till you're of age."
Kathryn rolled her eyes "yeah I know. I'm not going to do anything too heinous, just teach her a lesson of sorts." Turing to him with a grin she explained "and I'm going to need your help on this."
"Oh no" Sebastian exclaimed shaking his head furiously. "Don't even say it, Kathryn there is no way I'm fucking your mother! Believe it or not I do have an age limit. Thirty five, maybe forty tops but it has to be a hot forty-"
"Sebastian I don't want you to do my mother" she told him.
"What then?"
With a slow calculating smile Kathryn approached him and pressed herself into him. Leaning in close she whispered "I want you to fuck me." Then before he could say a word she grabbed him neck and pulled him into a hot kiss. Sebastian was so caught off guard he could barely respond.
Soon though his initial shock gave way and he pulled her even closer to him as he relished the taste of her mouth. As Kathryn's tongue slipped past his lips she began to undress him while pushing him back to the bed. Sebastian broke away briefly from her mouth and asked "not that I'm complaining, but how will fucking me get back at your mother?"
"Well you see I promised mummy dearest that I would stay away from you" she explained while yanking off his robe. "When she finds our I let you have your way with me, so to speak, she'll completely lose it."
"But how-"
Before he could get the question out Kathryn kissed him again and told him "shut up Valmont." Stripping off her wet dress she laid back on his bed and coldly told him "fuck me."
Sebastian head was reeling from all this. Here was the girl he wanted more than anything laying on his bed in barely anything and yet something was missing. It was all too cold to him, Kathryn wasn't behaving as she usually did when they fooled around. Still he ordered himself not to throw away an opportunity that he would most likely never come across again and he climbed on top of her. They resumed kissing while Sebastian's hands moved down her body. He massaged her firm breasts through her damp bra but got annoyed when she barely responded.
However he didn't give up right away and started kissing her neck hoping to at least get a moan out of her but she did nothing. Sebastian looked up at her as he nibbled her neck and noticed her staring up at the ceiling obviously not into it. For a final test he slid a hand between her legs and found she was completely dry. Immediately he pulled away "ok I'm not doing this."
"What do you mean?" She asked staring at him in shock. "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
"Yes it is but you have to be involved too or it takes all the fun out of it."
Kathryn rolled her eyes "for months you've been trying to get in my panties and now that you have the chance you chicken shit out on me?"
"Look" he told her pointedly "your mind is obviously somewhere else. I know all your thinking about is that asshole and your mother and I really have no desire to fuck you when you're thinking about them."
"Fine then" Kathryn quickly got to her feet "I'm out of here."
"Where are you going?"
"To find someone who isn't a god damn pussy" she hissed as she picked up her dress.
"No you're not" he told her as he grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "I'm not letting you leave when you're like this."
"Like what?!"
"Pissed off and nearly drunk"
Kathryn pushed him away and once again started to leave "of fuck off Sebastian, save it for someone who cares." Quickly he grabbed her and threw her back on the bed. Then before she could get back up he got on top of her and held her down. "Oh what you changed your mind all of a sudden? Well too bad the offer has expired, now get off me!"
"So you can what, go find some loser to shack up with for the night? No, you're staying here tonight for your own good."
Kathryn scoffed "the hell I am."
Sebastian tightened his grip on her wrists "look you said it yourself, I'm the only friend you have so as your friend I am doing what is best and what you would want if you were halfway sane right now."
"You're not my friend" she told him coldly. "I just made that up so you'd feel sorry for me. The truth is I could give two shits about you. You're nothing more than a shallow, boring, playboy. You're nothing special and you're certainly not my friend."
Even though he knew she was saying all of this out of anger it still stung. However he didn't let it show and told her "well that's where you're wrong. I do know you Kathryn, the real you and on some days I even like you and on other I think I might even..."
As he trailed off Kathryn stopped squirming under him and watched him intently as he continued. "Do you have any idea how hard it was to turn you down? You're right I do want you but not like this. When he have sex for the first time I don't want it to be some quickie or a way for you to get revenge." Sebastian brushed a strand of her dark hair from her face as he leaned into her "when we do it you'll want it as much as me and I will be the only thing on your mind."
"What makes you think it will ever happen?"
Sebastian grinned "call me an opportunist." Leaning down her kissed her and was genuinely surprised when she kissed him back. However this kiss wasn't like before, it wasn't empty or one sided. Sebastian pulled away from her after a minute and sat back on the bed. "You can leave if that's what you want."
Slowly Kathryn sat up and for a minute it looked like she might get up and leave but instead she turned around and laid beside him. She curled up on the bed but faced away from him. They lay there side by side in silence for awhile before Kathryn muttered "thank you."
Sebastian said nothing just stroked her hair as she fell asleep.
* * * * * *
The following morning when Kathryn awoke she couldn't remember where she was. As her eyes started to flutter open and she took in her surroundings she realized she recognized the room. Then like a quickly approaching avalanche it came to her that it was Sebastian's bedroom and as well as the events from the previous night. "Oh shit" she muttered to herself.
"Relax it wasn't that bad" Sebastian told her in a groggy half asleep voice.
Kathryn turned over on her side "speak for yourself. You're not waking up next to someone you promised yourself you would never go to bed with."
"Good morning to you too" he frowned.
She rolled her eyes as she got out of bed and looked for her dress. "Lets do each other a favor and just pretend last night never happened, ok?"
"Fine" he sighed "where are you going?"
"Home and you're giving me a ride" she ordered sounding every bit the queen bee.
However Sebastian just scoffed "yeah later after another couple of hours sleep and two cups of coffee."
Kathryn was in no mood for his shit and the more she remembered about last night the farther she wanted to get from him. She had acted a little too vulnerable in front of him which with a guy like Sebastian could be a dangerous thing. Grabbing a magazine off his side table she chucked it as his head and ordered "get up now Sebastian and drive me home!"
"Fuck off Kathryn" he muttered. "You got yourself here and you can get your ass back home."
"Fine" she grabbed his keys from off his desk "then I'll just borrow your car if you don't mind."
Sebastian was on his feet in half a second. He grabbed the keys from her head and barked "don't even think about it. I'll drive you home."
"Good" she smiled coldly "now get dressed."
Rolling his eyes Sebastian went back to his closet to change while Kathryn waited for him. Taking a seat on his side of the bed she noticed a leather bound book resting on the night side table. Curiously she picked it up and turned to the first page which read: Sebastian Valmont, My journey into manhood. "Oh you have to be fucking me" she muttered under her breath. Sure enough she turned to the first page and read a few lines about one of his earlier conquests.
Immediately Kathryn turned towards the back to see what he had written about her but before she could Sebastian suddenly appeared and yanked it out of her hands. "This, like my car, is off limits" he ordered.
"I can't believe you keep a fucking journal. I mean this on top of what happened last night makes me wonder if you really are a fag after all."
"Get your ass in the car if you want a ride home" he snarled at her.
Kathryn only smiled as she turned to leave but before going she told him "by the way, you better not tell anyone about last night."
"What would I tell them? That I had you in my bed all night and didn't fuck you."
She nodded in thought "I suppose it would hurt your reputation more than mine."
"Yeah so you keep quiet about it or else I'll tell everyone who mommy's secret lover is" he warned.
The smile on Kathryn's face quickly dropped as the memory of her boyfriend in her mothers bed came flooding back to her. Frowning she simply told him "I'll be in the car."
Kathryn sat in Sebastian's jag for a few minutes before he joined her. They drove in silence most of the way neither really wanting to talk to each other about the other night. Finally Sebastian pulled up in front of the Merteuil townhouse and told her "see ya later Kathryn."
She was about to get out of the car when she stopped herself. For whatever reason she felt compelled to say something to him. While she had been sitting in the car it occurred to her for the first time what Sebastian had done for her by not taking her to bed. Screwing him last night wouldn't have solved anything and it certainly wouldn't have helped pay back her mother. As frightening a thought as it was Sebastian really was her friend. Turning back to him she told him "I'm sorry about last night. I don't really say that often and when I do I don't usually mean it but I am sorry."
When all Sebastian did was nod she figured he was still pissed at her so she stated to leave but before she did he pulled her towards him. They stared at one another a moment before he leaned and kissed her so hard in nearly left her winded. "You're forgiven" he told her in his usual cool manor.
Kathryn grinned as she licked his ear and whispered "you could have had me." Getting out of the car she turned around once more "chump."
She smiled happily as she went into the house and headed for her bedroom however a voice soon stopped her in her tracks. "Did you enjoy yourself last night Kathryn?"
Her smile falling Kathryn turned around to see her mother walk off of the front balcony with a malicious glint in her eyes. She realized her mother had probably seen Sebastian drop her off and kiss her good bye. With a confident smile she said "yes actually I did."
Shaking her head in disgust she approached her daughter saying "you little slut. How could you do this to Chandler? If he found out about this it would break his heart."
Not at all phased by her mothers blatant hypocrisy Kathryn responded "oh I'm not to worried after all he does have you to fall back on. Tell me mother how long have you been fucking MY boyfriend?"
If Tiffani was surprised she didn't show it. Instead she said simply "only a few months. How long have you known?"
"I knew he was screwing around with someone but I never dreamed it was you. Congratulations mother you just elevated this family to another level of dysfunction."
She sighed "Kathryn dear don't be so melodramatic it was just sex. Obviously he wasn't getting what he needed from you so he turned to me. If anything you should be thanking me for helping you hang on to him for this long."
Kathryn shook her head "you know what, I don't really care what your twisted reasons were for going after him but it doesn't matter anymore any ways. I'm done with Chandler, he's all yours."
She started to leave when her mother called out "have it your way Kathryn but you are not to see Sebastian again." When Kathryn turned around she continued "that boy with ruin this families reputation and I won't stand for it."
Smiling coldly Kathryn told her "I don't really care. I like Sebastian and I like what he does to me so no mother I won't give him up."
"You will and if you don't I promise you Kathryn you will not like the consequences" then without another word Tiffani left the room.
Rolling her eyes Kathryn replied "I wouldn't count on it mother."
She headed into her room and went directly to the phone. She might not be able to get her mother back right away but she could take care of Chandler. Kathryn dialed and waited for an answer as her mothers latest threat ran through her head. Soon a groggy male voice picked up "hello?"
"Blaine it's me, I have a proposal for you. Are you interested?"
