Ch.9—Vampire Love
His first clue that something was wrong was the fact that one side of him felt decidedly chill. The second was that he couldn't feel his phone digging into him like before he'd fallen asleep. He opened his eyes and scanned the room, zeroing in on Nate scrolling through a device he hoped to god was his own phone.
"What are you doing?" he asked, trying to sound more casual than threatening.
"Do you know another Blair, Chuck?" Nate asked, his eyes still glued to the phone that Chuck realized was clearly not his own.
He gulped.
"Of course," he said, shaking himself out of his dreadful thoughts and getting up off the couch, walking towards his now unfortunately no longer high best friend.
Nate turned to him with a confused look. Chuck was relieved to see that it was just genuine confusion.
"Who?" he asked, easily letting Chuck snatch his phone back.
"Walters," Chuck said easily. Nate raised his eyebrows. "The daughter of one of my father's associates. Fantastic ass," he explained, sliding smoothly past Nate to the bar as he chuckled.
Nate shook his head as he followed his friend and took a seat on a stool by the bar.
"That explains the dirty texts then," he said, sporting his own perverse smirk.
Chuck tried to reduce his smile, but it was almost impossible. He was glad at moments like this that Nate could be so dense. It was extremely convenient.
"So what else are you doing today?" he asked, moving to a hopefully safer topic.
Nate shrugged. "Hopefully nothing family-related." He sighed. "I might go on a run."
"Strip clubs are open late," Chuck suggested.
He laughed. "No…that would not be good."
Chuck said nothing. He could have argued either way, but truth was he only wanted to be in the clear with Nate in case news of he and Blair became public knowledge, or at least made it to Nate's phone.
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
Chuck blinked. "Strip club," he said easily. Nate's lips parted. "Was that not clear?" Chuck asked, pouring himself a drink.
"Pour me one," Nate said. Chuck pulled out another glass out from underneath the counter and emptied more liquid into it. "I'm going to need it," he said.
They clinked glasses.
"I'll save you a spot at the club," Chuck said as Nate was on his way out. The blonde just shook his head at the suggestion.
As soon as the door shut, Chuck pulled out his phone and scanned the text messages. He thanked his lucky stars that he'd deleted his texts to Blair that included the word Waldorf, his very favorite nickname for her. Aside from B, of course, but Serena overused that and he wasn't one to be a follower.
The text from Gossip Girl was still there but clearly Nate had taken no notice and just zeroed in on the name Blair. As much as Chuck delighted in re-reading his text conversations with Blair he knew he'd have to start deleting them soon. It had been too close this time.
He wondered what Blair was doing. It had been several hours since they'd last seen – or heard from each other – and he grudgingly realized that he missed her. More and more he was becoming okay with that fact. It was true he still kept his cool demeanor, playing the bad boy and not caring what anyone said or thought of him, remaining the farthest away from love-struck emotions as was possible.
In public.
But when he was with Blair everything was different. Sure, he was still snarky and full of himself, but a softness came out that he hardly knew existed. All he wanted was to be with her all the time. It wasn't just about sex, though he definitely made a push for that when they were together. She wasn't just hot; she was beautiful, gorgeous even. His eyes didn't just linger on her breasts, legs and thighs, but on her tumbling brunette locks and perfect smile. There was something captivating about the darkness of her eyes too. He could stare into them forever.
He'd always admired her wit, scheming and manipulative behavior, the way she could act sweet as an innocent angel and then two seconds later the claws would come out with calculated ease and precision. Her style matched his own in a way that he'd hardly recognized before. Shortly after their affair started, he started flipping through past pictures of the four of them and was shocked to find that in nearly every single one the Queen Bee and himself matched perfectly.
Everything was accentuated now.
He'd also developed a protective streak, he realized. In the past, that had only really ever come out with Nate. For the sake of his reputation, he held himself back from becoming the 'jealous boyfriend' she'd jokingly accused him of at her seventeenth birthday party, but that didn't mean he didn't feel it or want to overstep his bounds to make sure she was happy and confident herself.
His emotions had gone haywire. And these new affectionate emotions he'd discovered, he had no clue what to do with.
It was like he was a vampire. Except, no blood.
"B," he purred into the phone when she didn't answer by the third ring and he was sent to voicemail.
He clicked the phone shut without so much as another letter to finish his message.
No matter how much Serena used the initial to call on her best friend, Chuck knew that the nickname from his lips got her all sorts of horny.
…
Apparently Nate had been desperate to talk to Serena, so she bailed on their hang-out early. To put it lightly, Blair was not happy. She knew her best friend was just trying to be friends with both of them, but Nate had betrayed her, while hitting on Serena simultaneously. Nobody, aside from maybe Chuck since he was his best friend, should be giving him the time of day. His family issues be damned.
Besides, she'd gone as long as she could in their conversation playing the denial card on all things relating to Chuck. It irked her that her best friend could see right through her when usually she could build up her walls a little better. But in those last five minutes they'd spent together before Serena had run off to Nate, Blair had been preparing herself to finally gush about Chuck had started to make her feel.
It was embarrassing to admit to herself, let alone informing her best friend. That would make it all the more real. But she needed to get it out. She wanted to go to the top of the tallest building in the world and scream at the top of her lungs about just how great Chuck was making her feel, how hot he was, how good he was at everything…how hot and cold he made her feel all the time. And then there were those moments where she'd fool herself into thinking that maybe he liked her a little more than butterflies.
Thoughts like those were dangerous, but she couldn't help but think them; especially when Chuck seemed to magically show up every time she was feeling sour about Nate. And if she completely dismissed the blaring fact that Chuck was a raging supposedly heartless bad boy with no sense of morality or commitment, she would truly believe she'd found the man of her dreams. Her prince charming, hidden behind a very well acted façade.
She shook herself out of the fantasy. It was getting ridiculous how much she let herself believe when it came to one Chuck Bass. He was Chuck Bass, not Prince Charming.
Anyone listening to her thoughts right now would find her psychotic, which was precisely why she turned off her phone for the remainder of the afternoon until after dinner. When she turned it back on she had one voicemail message, and when she listened to it, she melted.
"B…"
Shivers. Heart beating fast. Warm cool rushing over her skin. And a liquid pool of heat resonating in her core.
She swallowed hard and looked up when she heard the already opened door to her room open further. She gasped and felt the sensations rush over her again as he slowly walked into her room, pausing a step after the entrance to knock lightly on her doorframe.
"May I come in?" he asked huskily.
She thought she was going to faint, which was ridiculous too since they'd spent so much time together already that day. She actually hadn't expected to see him again until tomorrow. There were still four school days left in the week. Plenty of time for ramped rendezvous.
But now…
"Is Eleanor home?" he asked, closing the door behind him, not breaking their eye contact for a second.
All she could do was shake her head, unconsciously licking her lips as he approached her.
"Will she be-"
Her lips smashed against his before he could finish his question. She could not tolerate another moment without his touch. She grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and pulled him to her. Her mouth was ravenous against his, plunging her tongue into his depths and pulling him as close as was possible until she was lying on her back on the bed with him looming over her, pushing her into the plush duvet.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, she could do nothing but respond to what she in fact had initiated. Right now him walking in on her alone with her thoughts was just what she needed, especially after she'd been doubting him, doubting them, and after she'd heard that intoxicating message.
"I left you a message," he managed when she finally allowed him access to her throat and off of her mouth.
She wrapped her legs around his waist and dug her heels into the curve at the base of his back in response. Her hands caught up in his hair drilled down the back of his neck to his shoulders, digging into the fabric of his jacket. Irritated at all the bulky fabric between them, she brought her hands to the collar of his jacket and used her grip to shove him off of her.
He was breathless and surprised, but his eyes were still filled with heat when he caught her stare again after she'd joined him, standing to her feet. She closed the distance between them within seconds and started to tear off his clothes.
"How the hell do you think you're going to fuck me with so many clothes on, Bass?"
His eyes glittered, his heart swelling and his dick throbbing at the sight of his little kitten in heat. It did wonders for his ego to see her so desperate for him.
"Fiesty," he murmured, assisting her very little as she clawed at his suit and then unbuckled his belt. He slipped out of his shoes, fished a condom out of his pant pockets and moved away long enough to put it on before she took him in her mouth. He'd never last then.
He turned back to her and saw her pouty lip and shining, heated eyes.
"Waldorf, you're fucking fantastic," he said huskily, tackling her back onto the bed and undressing her once they reached the middle.
He kissed her and nibbled at her collarbone, then simultaneously sunk his fingers into her soaking core and pumped her. She cried out, trying to muffle the noise by ducking her head into his chest. She ended up nipping at his skin instead and digging her nails into his back.
He growled and pulled back enough to shove his dick inside her, sharp and deep and full. She gasped, and then their eyes locked.
It was then that Chuck experienced his first overwhelming need to tell her what he'd been trying to deny with each passing day because of how much it would change absolutely everything.
I'm falling in love with you.
"Blair," he got out instead, and she echoed with the response of her own.
"Chuck."
Panting, he thrust inside her repeatedly, each time harder and faster than the last. When she finally screamed through her orgasm, he felt complete euphoria. It was magnified even more when he experienced his own climax.
They slowly came down from their high. He collapsed on top of her and his heart beat faster and warmed when she wrapped her arms around him and nuzzled her face against neck, pressing a couple of sweet, moist kisses there.
This was perfect. This was heaven. This was what happiness felt like.
