Summary: During the course of one night several different things happen to change Kathryn and Sebastian's relationship forever.
Authors Note: I'm aiming to update this again on Thursday night so please look for it.
Chapter 11: Where Do We Go From Here?
"Kathryn!" As soon as the elevator doors of the townhouse opened Sebastian stormed off and headed down to his former step sisters bedroom, bellowing her name. At the moment he wasn't really concerned that his shouting would wake anyone or alert someone that perhaps his relationship with Kathryn was more than 'family oriented'.
Well fuck that, he wanted answers.
Without bothering to knock Sebastian threw open the door and found her reclining on the bed with her phone to her ear. Gone was the knee length navy blue dress and pearls, it had been replaced by a white wrap around shirt that barely covered her breasts and stomach, along with a short black mini skirt. Kathryn glanced up at him at first startled then an amused smile spread across her amber lips. "Speak of the devil" she laughed into the receiver. "Guess who just came barreling into my room?"
Sebastian was in no mood for her cavalier attitude. Coldly he ordered her "hang up the phone."
She studied him a moment intently before letting out a sigh. "Looks like our dear Sebastian is in a mood. I better go, see you in a half hour."
Once she hung up he looked her over and asked "which one of your toys was that?"
Kathryn snickered "it was Blaine. He's having another one of his infamous late night get togethers." Getting up from the bed she approached him with a cat like strut before letting her hands run down his chest. "You want to come? It should be fun."
Keeping his face cold Sebastian glared down at her as he asked "fun? What is your definition of that exactly? You want me to go to the party with you just so you can tease and tempt me before running off to spread you legs for some preppy college guy."
She scowled as she pulled away from him and hissed "what crawled up your ass today? I'm the one who should be upset after you left me to go chase after your goody-goody ex. I was furious with you when I left but I decided to push my anger aside since believe it or not I'm sick of fighting with you. Now you barge into my room, giving me orders like I did something wrong."
"Didn't you?"
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Sebastian saw a flicker of what looked like fear briefly in her green eyes. He knew then she was definitely hiding something from him and this time he was determined to get some answers. Taking a step towards her he explained in a low voice "Annette filled me in on some things tonight."
"Did she?"
"She told me about the bet Kathryn."
When he reveled this to her she didn't even flinch, she simply asked "what bet?"
Sebastian laughed coldly at her attempt to feign innocent. "Oh please Kathryn, you're a much more convincing liar than that! Annette told me all about the wager we made on her virginity. I bet you I could get her in bed and I believe I won, didn't I?"
He thought she was going to deny in but to his surprise she simply chucked "yes you did."
Kathryn turned away from him but Sebastian reached out and pulled her back to him. "All this time" he whispered in her ear "why didn't you tell me about this?"
"I didn't think it was relevant."
"Bullshit, you knew it was. In fact I think I know what you've been trying to keep from me."
Slowly she turned to him, the amusement gone from her face. "What's that?"
"We wagered my car against your body to put it bluntly. However when I won you refused to pay up and we argued. It was right before the accident wasn't it?"
"It's not important anymore Valmont" she said simply. "Just let it go."
He knew right then he should leave her. Kathryn would never be truthful to him, not so long as it didn't serve her purposes. She was cruel and frustrating but also beautiful and seductive, all at the same time. Sebastian hated himself for feeling the way he did about her but it couldn't be helped. So instead of turning away he grabbed her forcefully and then slammed her hard up against the wall. "I'm not letting anything go princess and that includes you. You've lied to me and denied me but no more."
Kathryn's green eyes had gone wide in surprise but she didn't struggle against him. On the contrary, Sebastian was more than certain he saw a look of lust cross her face. He knew she was turned on by force and yet she taunted him "do you really think you can start something I don't initiate? Come on Valmont" she purred grinding her nether region against his "you don't have the balls."
Letting go of his grip on one of her wrists he instead grabbed her by the back on the hair and pulled her head back violently. "You have no idea what I'm capable of" he whispered before licking her neck.
Kathryn let out a low moan and then laughed "of course I do, I know you better than you know yourself Sebastian."
"You're right, we do know each other in every way but the most important however I'm going to change that. I won the bet therefor I demand my winnings." Before she could protest he grabbed her leg and slid it around his waist then pressed his groin tightly against her panty covered mound. Kathryn gasped in surprise but he wasn't finished yet. Pushing her flimsy underwear aside Sebastian pushed two fingers into her tight orifice without any warning.
As he fingered her Kathryn begged for more much to his delight. She was wet, tight, and very much ready to be fucked. Even though he had told her he would have her weather she agreed to it or not, Sebastian knew he wouldn't be satisfied until Kathryn was begging for him. In order to turn her on further Sebastian ripped her white top off leaving it to carelessly hang off her arm and expose her braless breasts. While his fingers worked over his clit he used his tongue to tease her nipples. Soon she was panting and when he started to slow down his ministrations she pleaded "don't stop, Sebastian please...fuck me! I want you inside me now."
That was all the conformation he needed. Hearing Kathryn beg for him was music to Sebastian's ears. Without further ado he undid his pants and pulled out his dick. As he teased her opening Kathryn brought her other leg around his waist, pushing herself against him. "Oh now you want me" he laughed softly.
Kathryn bit his lip playfully before ordering "fuck me."
Sebastian pushed himself inside her as his eyes shut and he groaned in satisfaction. He didn't move at first and instead concentrated on how good it felt being inside her before he started to pound into her. Right there against the wall he finally got the ungettable girl. There was nothing gentle or romantic about it but god it felt good. Sebastian fucked her hard and rough which judging by the way she was moaning was just the way Kathryn liked it. He loved the way she screamed and moaned for him, for once Kathryn was losing control and that thought turned him on more than anything.
Since he was determined to be the best fuck she ever had, Sebastian did everything possible to hold off his orgasm but he did allow her to come, twice. Finally when his legs were shaking so badly he could barely hold her up any longer Sebastian gave in and with one final hard thrust he came inside her. As he did Kathryn let out a loud curse and wrapped herself around him tightly. Sebastian was so exhausted his knees gave out and he fell to the floor taking Kathryn with him. She shrieked in surprise when they hit the floor, with her landing on top, Sebastian still buried inside her. "Oh god" she gasped "I think I came again."
Breathing hard he asked her "are you okay?"
"Fine, comfortably numb even, but I have a feeling I won't be in the morning" Kathryn laughed.
"Yeah, well this wasn't exactly my ideal place for our first time but it was fun."
Picking her head up off his chest she asked "first time? What makes you think this will happen again?"
Sebastian scowled and then quickly rolled her on her back while she laughed. "Is there someone else you'd rather be with?"
"Hmm, well I've always been rather fond of Blaine..."
He rolled his eyes at her before leaning down and kissing her gently on the mouth. As they pulled away she groaned "okay I'll admit it. I like having you inside of me but that doesn't mean I'm taking you to the prom or anything."
"Did I ask?"
Kathryn grinned before pulling him back down for a kiss but this time Sebastian broke away. His handsome face had grown serious as he asked her "so should I be expecting any other surprises?"
"What do you mean?"
"Is there anything else you're keeping from me?"
Flinching in surprise she replied "no of course not."
"Swear?"
"Yes" she sighed "I promise."
"Good" Sebastian smiled in satisfaction as he leaned back down to kiss her. However before he could Kathryn got out from underneath him. "What are you doing?"
"I have to go get something, it's a surprise" she explained with a wicked smile on her face that told him it was likely something perverse. "I'll be right back."
Sebastian watched as she disappeared into the bathroom. He thought about following in after her but he decided he'd wait patiently for his surprise instead. As he sat up he pulled his pants up the rest of the way and then got to his feet. It had gotten colder out so Sebastian decided he would start a fire. Bending over he was checking the fire wood inside when something shiny caught his eye. He moved one of the pieces of fire wood and reached for what looked like a piece of burnt wood. However on closer inspection he realized it wasn't wood but a piece of brown material that was burned around the edges. Attached to the fabric was a shiny gold emblem that read SRV.
"Oh god" Sebastian mutter to himself as he realized what it was. Three years ago one of his girlfriends, who unbeknownst to her was about to become an ex, gave him a leather journal for his birthday. He had used it as sort of a score card of his conquests and never allowed anyone to see it. Since losing his memory Sebastian had yet to find it but both Kathryn and Annette claimed the other had it. He was sure Kathryn hadn't taken it but apparently she had and worse yet she destroyed it.
"Conniving bitch..." he whispered throwing the material to the ground as he got to his feet. She promised him she wasn't keeping anything else from him, she promised. Once again he fell for her lies but no more. He was done with Kathryn Merteuil.
* * * * * *
She looked damn good if she did say so herself. Wearing the black teddy she had tossed away earlier, Kathryn examined herself in the full length mirror of her bathroom. It showed just enough skin but left a little to the imagination. Not that Sebastian needed to imagine what she looked like, he knew her, all of her. Now not only was Annette officially out of the picture but she had him right where she wanted him, all to herself.
Kathryn chuckled wickedly at the thought before turning and heading back to her room. "So what do you think?" She asked as she came out of the bathroom with a sexy prowl. However to her surprise when she came back she was alone. Frowning she called out "Sebastian! Sebastian where are you?"
When she got no answer and when she realized he had indeed left her bedroom Kathryn grabbed her robe and covered herself suddenly feeling embarrassed, an emotion she was totally unfamiliar with. It occurred to her then that maybe what just happened between them hadn't meant anything to Sebastian. Maybe all she really was just another conquest and now that he finally had her, he wanted to humiliate her by leaving. The thought upset her but her sadness quickly turned to anger. "No fucking way" she hissed as she stormed out of her bedroom and went into his across the hall but that room too was empty.
Turning around Kathryn nearly bumped into one of the maids who's named escaped her. Not bothering to be polite she demanded "where's Sebastian?"
"Your brother left a few minutes ago ma'am. He took his car but he didn't tell anyone where he was going."
"Fine" she grumbled as she pushed past her calling out "and he's NOT my brother."
Kathryn was considering calling him on his cell and screaming at him for ditching her. However if she did that she would be showing him she cared and then he won. No way would she allow that, not after all ready handing him the upper hand. As she started to pace her room in thought something out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. Stopping in her tracks she went to the fire place where a piece of brown material was resting on the ground. Kathryn picked it up and immediately recognized what it was. "Impossible" she said out loud. "I burned this, I know I did."
Well apparently she didn't burn it good enough. Suddenly she started to realize why Sebastian had taken off and it had nothing to do with winning some game. He realized she betrayed him, again.
"Dammit" she yelled throwing the piece of journal back in the fire place. Kathryn's normal reaction to discovering she had hurt Sebastian was generally to just laugh and then gloat but things had changed. Somehow in the past few months her feelings towards him had changed dramatically. He was no longer her toy but something much more.
Getting to her feet Kathryn dashed to her closet to change. She had to find him and she knew exactly where to start.
* * * * * *
"Where is he?"
Looking somewhat shit faced but still alert enough to lie to her Blaine responded "who? Who's where?"
Kathryn was in no mood for any of Blaine's crap at the moment. When she arrived at the party a few minutes earlier she knew this was likely the place Sebastian was hiding. Plenty of available drugs, booze and whores for him to immerse himself in. Plus Blaine would happily cover for him in he wished. Now as she stood over the bleached blond who was relaxing in his parents hot tub with one stud on each side of him she hissed "I know Sebastian's here Blaine and you're hiding him."
He laughed "what makes you think that?"
"Well for starters you're wearing his sun glasses" she yanked the expensive custom made shades off his face.
Blaine reached for them "oh give them back, their mine!"
Fed up playing his game she grabbed him roughly by the back of the hair and then held his head under water for a few seconds. Bringing him back she whispered "where?"
Blaine coughed up water as he explained "he doesn't want to see you."
"Well that's too fucking bad."
He sighed realized he wasn't going to win the argument. "He's in the guest room on the third floor but I didn't tell you that."
"Yeah right" she grumbled as she turned and went back to the party, leaving him behind to tend to his studs.
The Tuttle home, located right outside the city, was filled with people most of whom Kathryn didn't know. As she pushed through the people several guys approached her, a few being so bold as to grope her. However she ignored them and made her way to the third floor.
When she found the room, the last one on the left, Kathryn pushed the door open not bothering to knock. What she found could have been worse but it wasn't exactly good either. Two sorority girls wearing matching pink sweaters and nothing else were sitting at the end of a large canopy bed giggling and fondling each other. Sebastian was resting against the headboard, clothed but with his shirt ripped open. He was drinking out of a wine bottle with a cold scowl on his face. When he saw Kathryn he didn't react just barked "get out."
"What the fuck are you doing?" she asked.
"What does it look like?" One of the girls asked in an uppity tone.
Ignoring them Kathryn walked up to Sebastian and said "we need to talk." He said nothing just continued to gulp his wine as he glared at her. Keeping her eyes locked on his Kathryn straddled his lap and when he didn't force her off she told him "get rid of them."
Sebastian waited a beat before acknowledging her request. Finally he glanced over Kathryn's shoulder and waved his hand at the two girls "out."
They regarded him with shock as the blond one huffed "fine, we're out of here. You're no fun anyway Sebastian."
As the other girl put her skirt back on she scoffed "why do you want her anyway? My breasts are much bigger."
"Yes but mine are real" Kathryn shot back as she chucked a pillow at the girls head. "Not fuck off!"
When they were at last alone she laughed and leaned over Sebastian "I'll never know why you bother with these bimbos, but luckily they're gone now so we can have some real fun."
She moved to kiss him but Sebastian pushed her away then got off the bed. "You got your wish Kathryn there gone, now if you'll excuse me I plan on following there lead."
He started towards the door but Kathryn immediately got up and blocked it. "Why don't you quit being such a pussy and tell me the real reason you're angry?"
Sebastian's face went cold as he leaned in and whispered "you know why, or else you wouldn't have tracked me down here. I know what you did to my journal."
"Well if you want a new one I can replace it I suppose but it will cost you" she teased running her fingers down his face.
"This isn't a fucking game!" he screamed as he punched the door behind her coming only a few inches from her face. "Time after time I ask for the truth from you and you continue to lie to my face. You promised me Kathryn that there was nothing you were keeping from me-"
"There isn't!"
"Lying bitch" he sneered. "You stole that journal and then you burned it and I want to know why, now!"
She shrugged "I thought you'd find out about the bet and then you'd want me to pay up but I wasn't ready for that yet. I didn't want to give you that power over me."
Turning from her he laughed coldly as he paced the room "I don't believe you. All that trouble over sex? No there's more to it and we're not leaving this room until you tell me."
Judging by the look in his eyes she could tell he meant it but she also knew she couldn't know the whole truth, not now or ever. If he found out Sebastian would truly hate her and she wasn't about to let that happen not after they came this far. Deciding to distract him for the time being she grabbed his hand and stopped his pacing. Moving in closer to him she slid her hands onto his bare chest and whispered "that actually sounds like it could be fun."
Sebastian placed his hand on her bare arm and she believed she had actually gotten to him but she realized maybe not when he roughly thrust Kathryn's arm behind her back. "Not this time baby."
She looked at him amazed "I think your little air headed friend was right. You are no fun anymore."
"You do that a lot don't you? Whenever you're trapped you immediately turn to sex, it's your secret weapon."
Pushing herself into him she shot back "I've never heard you complain before."
Sebastian pushed her away and sneered "yeah well maybe I should have. God you've been manipulating me since day one. You never wanted me to get my memory back did you? Why Kathryn? What happened between us that made you so desperate you'd go through all this trouble to keep the truth from me?"
"Fine you want the real reason?" she yelled. "You're right we did have a fight, one of our more nasty one's. You were furious when I refused to sleep with you so you hit me!"
He regarded her with shock as he asked "what? I hit you?"
"Yes you did" she lied so convincingly even she believed it. "You were so angry with me and for refusing you. I was afraid if you got your memory back you would hate me and I couldn't stand it so yes I didn't tell you some things. I also took your journal and burned it but I'm not sorry."
"I bet you're not" he muttered shaking his head.
"God what is your problem? I'm the one who should be pissed with how you treated me yet you're the one angry."
Looking away from her Sebastian admitted "I'm angry with myself."
"Why?"
"Because I love you" he admitted facing her. "I should hate you for a million different reasons but I can't. When I told you that night on the balcony that I thought I might have loved you in the past, what I meant to say was that I loved you then, in that moment but I was too chicken shit to admit it. You've manipulated and lied to me countless time but I don't care. I still love you no matter how much I try not to."
Hearing this Kathryn felt as though she had been hit in the stomach. She had never been good with dealing with raw emotions or any emotions for that matter. It wasn't what her and Sebastian were about but here he was pouring his heart out to her. The strange thing was she liked it, hearing him tell her he loved her. It sent a shiver down her body that no orgasm had ever given her yet she didn't know how to respond.
Taking a seat on the bed Kathryn stared down at the floor trying to wrap her head around all of this. Finally Sebastian asked "well, don't you have anything to say?"
"Like what?" she asked avoiding his eyes.
"You could start with I love you too Sebastian or at least wipe that look off your face. Jesus, you look like I just ran over your puppy."
Picking her head up she told him "I can't say that."
Sebastian's face darkened as he demanded "why not? You can't tell me you don't feel anything for me. I mean after what happened tonight-"
"You and I don't make these sort of declarations" she interrupted him. "It's not who we are, we're better than that."
"Right so instead you would rather what? Bottle what we feel inside and just continue with the games and screwing around while slowly driving each other nuts? No I'm sick of it Kathryn. I fucking love you, deal with it!"
Rising suddenly to her feat she yelled back "I can't say it, I just can't!"
"You honestly feel nothing for me?"
"No because I do feel something for you, that's why."
Sebastian at last relented as he sighed "okay, where does that leave us?"
"I don't know" she replied sitting back down on the bed.
Taking a seat beside her Sebastian ran his hand down her back "well why don't I make love to you?"
Kathryn looked up at him and smiled "it's a start."
* * * * * *
Sebastian awoke and suddenly everything was clear. He couldn't describe it really but all he knew was everything made sense once again. All the pieces had come together. Now it was just a matter of what he would do with his new found clarity.
Turning over to his side Sebastian studied Kathryn's sleeping form. Even in the darkness of the room he could still make out how beautiful she was. The whiteness of the sheet wrapped around her naked body contrasted with the darkness of her hair nicely. In his eyes there was no one who could match her beauty but that wasn't why he loved her. Truth be told he really wasn't sure why he did.
After their argument they had indeed made love in the guest room. It had differed tremendously from their first experience earlier that night. Not that it hadn't been enjoyable, both times had been satisfying. However making love was different than just pure, raw fucking. Sebastian had forgotten that.
Sitting up he let his hand caress her dark hair but she didn't stir. Sebastian didn't want to wake her anyway, he needed some time away so he could think. So he got up from the bed, dressed and left the room. The party was over with but the remains were still visible. Half dressed bodies were littered around the Tuttle home and somewhere in the distance a soft rock song was playing on the stereo.
Sebastian went down to the first floor and found where it was coming from. Inside the study was Blaine with one blond guy resting his head in his lap and another with his head on his shoulder. All three were passed out and in various states of undress. Shaking his head Sebastian turned the stereo off causing Blaine to suddenly jerk awake and murmur "hey, I was listening to that. Oh, hey Valmont."
"Tuttle" he sighed examining the liquor on the table to see in anything was worth drinking. "Having fun I see?"
His friend smiled lazily as he stretched "you could say that. How about you? I would have thought you'd be long gone."
He shrugged "I've been upstairs."
"With Kathryn I presume? Sorry, I tried to get rid of her but she's sort of hard to say no to."
"I'm all too aware of that" he grumbled pouring some rum into a shot glass.
Blaine leaned forward with a sneaky grin "something happen between the two of you?"
Sebastian downed his shot before answering "you could say that, but if it's all the same I'd rather not talk about it."
"Fine, fine keep your secrets but if you don't share I won't be inclined to tell you any of mine."
"And what secrets would those be Blaine?" Sebastian snickered "banging Greg the football stud is hardly newsworthy."
Blaine shrugged as he looked back at the two boy toys resting beside him. "No I suppose you're right, but compared to these two losers Greg was a prize. I mean the man is incredible. He might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but what he can do under the covers..."
"Yeah, I know mouth like a hover" he sighed pouring another drink. "I've heard all about it."
"Still you have to admit...wait a second what did you say?"
Sipping his rum Sebastian looked over at his friend and shrugged "what? I just said I've heard enough of your sexual exploits."
"No" Blaine told him his voice rising with excitement as he sat up and leaned in. "You said I told you Greg had a mouth like a hover. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I never mentioned anything about that after the accident."
"Sure you did."
He shook his head with a smug grin "no I know I didn't. So what gives Valmont? Is your memory starting to come back?"
Getting to his feet Sebastian walked over to the window just in time to see the sun come up. However he wasn't paying any attention to that. He had bigger things on his mind and it was time he unburdened them. "It's not starting to come back Blaine, it is back. I remember everything."
