Reality Love Bites
Chapter 13
"However did you manage to give us a private limo ride back to the mansion without a camera in our faces?"
Ciara wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at her friend, "I have my ways."
Tamsin threw her head back and laughed joyously. She had had such a wonderful time with Ciara on their date. She always had fun with her, she was her best friend after all, but there was now something new and different mixed in with the normal, comfortable energy that had always been between them. "I have no doubt about that. You have always been resourceful, why do you think I went into business with you," Tamsin responded with a wink. "How did you manage it, may I ask?"
Ciara quirked her head to the side and looked thoughtful for a moment. "You can ask and I may even tell you if you give me something in return."
Tamsin turned her body more on the seat so that she was facing her companion better. "What do you want?"
Ciara's smile was wicked with mischief and flirtation and it caused Tamsin's stomach to flip flop in nervous anticipation.
"I would like a few answers to some questions that I have had burning inside me since I've entered the house and met the competition," Ciara responded. "And then perhaps we could test out this new intensity that I am feeling between us. You're feeling it too, right?"
Tamsin almost swallowed her tongue because of the heat she saw in her friend's eyes. There was a hot, fiery passion and air of raw sexuality that Tamsin had never seen or felt before and it was really starting to turn her on. She pressed her legs together and licked her lips as she tried to voice what she wanted to say. Tamsin almost blurted out that there was no competition now that Ciara was here and had expressed her interest, but she managed to hold that in, not wanting to rush anything just yet. Tamsin nodded, "I feel the shift between us, yes. So what are your questions?"
"As soon as we get back to the house you are choosing your top three, right? And two of us are going home?" Ciara asked as she turned and shifted closer to Tamsin, igniting even more heat between them. Their shins were touching now and they leaned in close not wanting to be overheard by the driver even though the privacy screen was up.
Tamsin reached out and placed a hand on Ciara's knee, "Yes, that's right, but don't worry you won't be one of them. Surely you know by the way our date has gone that I need you to be in the top three so that we can explore this new found awareness and uh attraction."
"You're blushing! That's so adorable," Ciara responded, her heart heaving with the possibilities that she could feel developing between them. "I had a feeling that I would be on the list to stay. What I want to know is who is going to join me for the final stretch."
Tamsin's smile faltered a little, "Would you like to guess? You've spent time with them. You tell me."
Ciara's hand had found Tamsin's on her knee and she ran her fingers over the smooth skin, causing goose pimples to spread up the blonde's arm. "Evony?"
"Yes."
"I see the appeal... she is very beautiful and exotic, but her personality lets her down a lot. She is not a very nice person Tamsin."
"I have no illusions about Evony's shortcomings, Ciara, believe me. But there is a mutual attraction, I won't lie."
"Good. I wouldn't want you to lie." Ciara seemed to hesitate in saying the next name. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment before speaking the name softly, "Lauren?"
"Yes..." Silence hung in the air between them for several minutes.
"Am I going to lose you to Lauren, Tamisn? I... I need to know. It's because she reminds you of Jess isn't it?"
Tamsin saw the conflict in Ciara's face and eyes. She's really worried that I will choose Lauren over her because of the similarities between her and Jess? Tamsin's mind was buzzing and she bit her lip, trying to decide just how much to tell Ciara. No one would know. There is no camera pointed at us right now, Tamsin thought to herself.
"Ciara, you don't have to worry about losing to Lauren."
"I don't? Really?"
Tamsin nodded, "The fact that Lauren is so much like Jess, both physically and characteristically, is the reason I won't choose to be in a relationship with her."
Ciara looked at her friend in complete and utter confusion, "Then why is she still here?"
"I have other plans for her," Tamsin said with a fond smile, "and I enjoy talking to her."
"What kind of plans?"
"I have told you too much already, Cee. Vex would kill me if he knew I was telling you so much. This show is so important to him."
"Please, Sin. I won't let on that I know anything, I promise."
Tamsin rolled her eyes and laughed at the look Ciara gave her as she said that. How can I possibly say no to her. That look gets to me every single time! "I can never keep anything from you when you give me that look! You are so bad!"
"You have no idea just how bad I can be, now spill."
God! I'm done for, Tamsin thought as Ciara's comment made her body react and she wasn't even sure if she was just imagining the sexual undertones that she thought she heard in Ciara's comment.
"Fine! But you know nothing. Got it?"
"Cross my heart and hope to die. Now spill!"
So Tamsin filled Ciara in on everything she knew and what had happened before her arrival and about her plan to get Bo and Lauren together as well.
"Oh my God! It is so obvious and clear to me now. Lauren has been irritable and mopey since Bo's departure. She told me she wanted to go home, you know. She must have stuck around so that she could spend time with Bo and now that she's gone..." Ciara let her voice trail off.
"She did?"
"Yeah. Tamsin, what if she turns down your rose tonight?"
"She can't! That will completely stuff up my plan. We managed to get Bo back under the guise of suing her for breach of contract! I need Lauren in the top three!"
"She has every right to refuse, Tamsin."
Tamsin sat there and mulled the situation over and over in her head. Ciara was about to say something when her friends head snapped up and she grinned at her brightly."
"I'll leave Lauren till last! Then she can't refuse because Nadia and Crystal will already be on their way home! They have to leave the house immediately, you see! Brilliant!"
"What if she still walks out?"
I'll have Vex threaten to sue her too. She is going into her residency at the hospital and has a huge medical school loan hanging over her head. The prize money alone for getting to the final three should be enough to get her to stay, don't you think?"
"I suppose, but the fact that she is being dishonest is taking a toll on her, especially with Bo gone. It may not be as easy as you think."
"I don't want to talk about this anymore. Do you have anymore questions or can we move onto the other part of your agenda in getting me all alone in the limo."
Ciara's smile came back and her eyes shone with humour, anticipation and a little nervousness. "You're so beautiful, Sin and you couldn't even imagine how much I want to kiss you right now."
"Then don't wait because I have been wondering what it will be like to kiss you again after all these years. I really want to see if there is a spark, Ciara. Like the one you felt. I'm sorry..."
Ciara put a finger to Tamsin's lips, cutting off what she was going to say. "Don't say you are sorry, Sin, ever. I wouldn't change the past and the happiness you had with Jess for anything in the world. I don't regret a thing and I just want to be the next chapter in your life and hope to bring you as much happiness and love that you had with her," Ciara said softly as she leaned closer and closer to Tamsin.
Ciara removed her finger and gripped the back of Tamsin's head instead and she pulled the blonde towards her and brushed her lips softly over Tamsin's. Tamsin's hand moved to Ciara's waist as she gazed into her eyes and placed another soft kiss upon waiting lips. The air was thick and it seemed to crackle with the new intensity that had been present throughout their entire date. It doubled and tripled as Ciara and Tamsin began to kiss deeper and longer, tongues exploring eagerly. Tamsin pulled at Ciara's hips and encouraged her to straddle her as they continued to make out feverishly.
Tamsin's hands gripped Ciara's ass as she started to move her hips, grinding against Tamsin and causing her to moan as her wetness and desire grew to new peaks. "Fuck, Cee!" Tamsin said breathlessly when they separated for some much needed air.
"Sin. I've waited so long for you to kiss me like that, to touch me. God, I'm so incredibly wet and ready to burst!"
Tamsin's fingers undid the button of Ciara's pant suit and slid down the zipper. "Kiss me again," Tamsin said as she shoved her hand inside Ciara's panties and found her hot, slick and accommodating. "God, Ciara. We have wasted so much time."
Ciara gave Tamsin a hard and rough kiss as she rode Tamsin's hand getting closer and closer to climax. She could feel it building inside her and she broke the kiss and cried out when Tamsin added a third finger. "You weren't ready then, Sin," Ciara said holding Tamsins face and making sure that she held her gaze, "but you are now and you feel so fucking amazing inside me."
"Will you come for me now and keep looking at me like that while you do?" Tamsin's hand began to thrust deeper and faster and she was enraptured by the look in Ciara's face and eyes. She saw the love that she had always seen, but now it was so much more and Tamsin found herself drowning in it happily.
Ciara's hips moved faster to match Tamsin's new tempo and she fell over the edge as her pleasure peaked and she came hard for the woman she had loved for so very long and she made sure that Tamsin saw that love and felt it as it coated her embedded fingers.
The driver's voice came through the speakers informing them that they had arrived back at the mansion as they just held each other as Ciara recovered from her orgasm. They reluctantly untangled themselves and cleaned themselves up the best they could moments before coming to a stop. As Ciara zipped and buttoned her pants she looked over at Tamsin and gave her a devilish grin. "I promised the camera man a fantastic kiss on the porch to go along with his $10,000 bonus check, so make it good." Ciara finished the statement off with a wink.
Tamsin grabbed Ciara's hand and pulled her back for a quick kiss. She heard the driver exit and knew he would be opening the door for them at any moment. "I can't wait till we get an entire night together, Cee. I only wish it was tonight."
"Soon, my love. Soon. And I can't wait till I can taste you," Ciara said before pulling out of Tamsin's arms just as the door opened.
Tamsin squeezed her legs together and groaned as she exited behind Ciara who's delighted laugh rang out into the night...
Lauren stood beside Nadia her anxiety growing exponentially by the second as they waited for filming to start again. It had been halted because Crystal had lost it when Tamsin had told her she wouldn't be in the top three and had to be physically removed from the house. Vex had been delighted of course, because this was the type of behaviour that made reality shows successful.
Lauren took the opportunity to speak to Nadia, "I'm not going to accept the rose, Nadia."
"I'm going home, Lauren, there is no changing that after what happened this afternoon."
"But it isn't right. You aren't the one who fell for Bo. I am!"
"I don't deserve to be here anymore than you do, Lauren, believe me. I am guilty of exactly the same thing."
Lauren cocked her head to the side as she searched Nadia's eyes, "What do you mean?"
Nadia's eyes shone brightly as if she was fighting back tears, "I fell for someone in the house too, the only difference was that my feelings weren't returned."
Lauren gasped, "And that's why you protected our secret? You fell for Bo as well?"
Nadia gave a small laugh. "Not Bo, Lauren."
"Then who?" Nadia saw the realisation cross Lauren's face when she figured out that she didn't do it for Bo. "Oh..." Lauren was at a loss at what to say. Looking at Nadia now she could see it written all over her features. "I.. I didn't realise. I'm sorry."
Nadia gave Lauren a soft smile and wiped the tear from her cheek that managed to escape, "Don't be sorry. I saw it from the start, felt it, the connection between you and Bo. It is strong, Lauren and she showed you this afternoon that she will be there when this whole charade is over."
"I just feel so horrible. Bo was noble and left rather than taint the way she feels about me. I should have done the same. I can't accept that rose, Nadia. It's not right."
Nadia didn't say anything as Vex came back into the main living area of the house and clapped his hands loudly. "Okay, places everyone. I want to get this done and dusted because the final three will still need to do their little secret diary about their thoughts and feelings."
The camera men and boom operators moved into position and moments later the clapper loader engaged their clapper board and filming resumed once more.
"Nadia, Lauren? As you can see there is only room for one of you to continue on in this competition for my heart."
Lauren looked at Evony and Ciara standing on either side of Tamsin. Evony was looking smug and smirked at her, whereas Ciara gave her a warm friendly smile. Lauren really hoped that Tamsin chose Ciara in the end. There really was no competition on who was the better woman for Tamsin as far as she was concerned. "Would you both step forward, please."
Tamsin looked at each of them, her expression unreadable and Lauren found herself wilting under her intense scrutiny. "I have enjoyed spending time with both of you over the months. You are both wonderful women and anyone would be lucky to have you on their arm and in their hearts." Tamsin focused on Nadia, "Unfortunately, after the events preceding this elimination you are to be automatically removed from the running, Nadia."
"I understand."
"Therefore, I offer the final rose to you, Lauren."
"I don't deserve it. I should be going home as well. Nadia was just protecting my secret. I am the one Bo came to see this afternoon, not Nadia."
Tamsin looked over to Nadia, "Is this true?"
Nadia looked from Tamsin to Lauren and then back to Tamsin. The room was dead silent, which was amazing with so many cast and crew filling the large living space. Nadia was a successful photo journalist whose work also sold for thousands of dollars in gallery's across the world. She had been here to find love and she had, but she hadn't had a chance with Lauren because of Bo. Lauren on the other hand had a large tuition loan and the prize money would help take a lot of pressure off her as she starts her residency in the coming months, so Nadia was determined to do this for Lauren. It was her way of expressing her feelings for the lovely, blonde beside her.
"I'm sorry to tell you this Lauren, but it seems that Bo is somewhat of a heart breaker because she was here to see me," Nadia said her jaw set in defiance.
"But... but... no, that's just not true!"
Interesting, Tamsin thought to herself. "Well, I just don't know what to think! It seems that Bo made quite an impact on the house while she was here and managed to capture several hearts. Unfortunately, Lauren, the evidence points to Nadia and she will be the one to leave the house, so please take this rose and stand beside Ciara."
Nadia nodded once and avoided looking at Lauren as she quickly made her exit.
"This is ridiculous! Bo loves ME, not her! ME! I want to leave." Lauren crossed her arms, refusing to take the rose.
This is gold, pure GOLD! Vex thought to himself, before stepping forward to step into the fray. "Miss Dennis is already being sued for breach of contract, Miss Lewis and if you would like to join her and spend years working your ass off to repay the damages that our teams of lawyers will squeeze out of you, go right ahead and leave. But the easier option is to just take that rose and finish the game and not allow Bo, an obvious player and breaker of hearts to cost you the shirt off your back, your choice."
"But she isn't the bad person you are making her out to be!"
Tamsin glared at Vex. Lauren had visibly paled and was shaking. "I liked Bo as well, Lauren. She is beautiful and charming and would probably be here instead of you, if she hadn't confessed about her indiscretions within the house and left. Please just accept the rose and finish out the remainder of your time here. I have no expectations, you have made yourself very clear on where your feelings lie. Please, Lauren. The prize money is better than being sued, right?"
Lauren reluctantly took the rose from Tamsin's outstretched hand and took her place beside Ciara, who squeezed her arm supportively. "Don't worry, Lauren. It will all turn out for the best, you'll see."
Lauren could only nod mutely at the sweet woman beside her. She thought about Bo and the knowledge that she would be waiting for her when all of this was over, lifted her spirits and steadied her, making her strong enough to get through these last few days...
Author's Note: Doccubus will be here very, very soon! ;) Thankyou for sticking with this story. I know it has been a lot less tame sex wise. Lol Also a big thank you to those who leave me a review. I love to read each and every one of them. It means a lot. At this stage I will probably continue with this story until it is finished.
