When everyone seemed sufficiently distracted Blaire pulled back from kissing Tristan standing up putting a finger over her lips indicating he should be quiet. Tristan picked up his hat and silently followed Blaire away from the cave. "So beautiful where we going?", Tristan asked figuring they were far enough away to not be heard. "You'll see...", Blaire said glancing to him in the dark a smirk on her lips that were still flushed from the kissing in the cave. She headed to the closest beach house and started up the steps of the deck. Tristan followed curiously behind her. Blaire kicked off her sandals and walked inside Tristan following her lead and doing the same closing the door behind hm. "Soo... where are we?", Tristan asked looking around, but the decor answered him. There was a framed picture on the wall of a rather pretty blonde woman, a man with dark black hair, a boy with blonde hair and then there was Blaire with her ebony hair they all had blue eyes the woman and Blaire having the same shade and the man and boy having the same shade. "This is…your house? Um where's your family?", Tristan asked a little trepidatiously. Blaire set her bandana down on the island counter that over looked the living room before jumping up onto the counter looking at him. "Yeah this is my house. As for my family. Carter is at the institute. And my parents are in Hawaii for another four nights on a second honeymoon.", Blaire explained gesturing to him with her index finger to come over. Tristan raised an eyebrow smiling slyly walking over. "So you led me away from a cave full of technical chaperones to your house where we are completely alone? I'm liking where this is possibly going..", Tristan said placing his hands on her waist. Blaire grinned. "That was the idea. And trust me..", Blaire said wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. "We are both going to like where this is going." Blaire added before locking her lips to his again.
Tristan smiled into the kiss before returning it his arms slipping around her tightly. Blaire had her plan and she wasn't going to back out of it. Because even now knowing she was but a short eight feet from her bedroom she didn't have any fear or second thoughts. No the butterflies in her stomach was from anticipation and excitement. She deepened the kiss parting her lips and running her tongue along his lips asking to be let in. Which Tristan answered the request opening his mouth letting his tongue mingle with hers as one of his hands slid up the outside of her top to hold the back of her head. Blaire moaned a little into his mouth as her hands moved down from his neck down his chest to grab the bottom of his shirt pulling it up, breaking the kiss long enough to pull the shirt up as Tristan raised his arms over his head for her. Blaire ran her hands over his chest outlining his scars. Tristan rubbed his lips together feeling shivers as her delicate fingers moved over his chest and scars. Blaire leaned forward starting to kiss at his neck and ear. She smiled against his neck as she heard an audible mmm from him. "Blaire... exactly what are we doing? I just want to kind of mentally prepare myself for when we hit the stopping point.", Tristan asked running his hands on the exposed area of her thighs. Blaire smiled. "Who said there's going to be a stopping point?", Blaire answered.
Tristan pulled back to look at her a mix of shock, nervousness, and excitement on his face. "Are you sure about that? Cause I mean, we are both flirts prone to tease. And if this ends just being a rather intense make out session I'm okay with that.", Tristan said. He could live with a set of 'blue balls', after all he wasn't the type that would push someone into doing more than they are ready and willing to do. Blaire smiled shaking her head. "Very sweet speech handsome. However I'm not teasing you. I'm extremely serious about this. And I'll prove it.", Blaire said pulling her tank top off tossing it to the floor with his shirt to reveal her bikini top. She unhooked her legs from around him pushing him back a little as she jumped off the counter. Tristan watched with interest as she took off the top then was a little confused as she jumped down from the counter. Blaire started to the hall reaching behind her as she walked and unhooked her bikini top tossing it back over her shoulder to hit Tristan in the face. "What's the matador phrase, 'toro toro'?", Blaire teased looking over her shoulder at him with a grin. Tristan blinked as he watched her remove the bikini top and smiled a little as he was hit in the face with the warm fabric. He reached up taking the bikini top from his face still smiling.
"Where are you going? Come back...", Tristan requested catching up to her grasping her bare waist. He pushed some of her hair aside and started kissing along her neck and shoulder. His shamrock eyes looking down over her shoulder to her bare chest. "God damn...", Tristan said running his hands up her exposed sides reaching around to cup her breasts rubbing his thumbs across her nipples. This was a new sensation for her and Blaire could feel the butterflies in her stomach start fluttering faster as his touched her. She bit her bottom lip closing her eyes enjoying the attention but trying to keep her wits about her as she was not ready to lose herself in the moment…yet. "Mmm...I figured we could... mmm... both use a shower after a long day at the beach.", Blaire managed to answer pulling forward out of his touch as she unbuttoned her shorts. She walked down the hall to pause at the doorway of her bedroom and slipped her daisy dukes down kicking them off. She licked her lips looking down the hall to him. "You going to join me?", Blaire asked smiling a devious glint in her eyes before she walked into her bedroom.
Blaire took a breath once she was in her room she was starting to get anxious about what she had planned. She didn't want to back out but looking at her bed and knowing the condoms were stashed away in her nightstand. All she could think about was skipping the shower and just pushing him onto the bed and having her way with him. But she had her strategy and she was going to stick to it. In the hallway Tristan stood still trying to gain some amount of composure. He may be a massive flirt and most might not believe this, but he'd not had sex with anyone. So this wasn't just going to be her first time. And god she was making keeping any amount of control impossible as he watched her remove her shorts and asked him to join her. He rubbed his lips together and followed her down the hall and into her bedroom. He looked from her to the bed and wanted to just scoop her up and get her in that bed. Though he then worried about the fact he wasn't prepared for this outcome and wondered how prepared she was. Blaire looked over her shoulder hearing footsteps and smiled seeing him. She took a breath and slipped out of her bikini bottoms walking into her bathroom and turning on the shower stepping inside letting the warm water wash over her. She kept an eye on the door waiting to see if he followed. Tristan licked his lips mming at the sight of her naked backside. The ideas of what he'd like to do to her started racing through his mind only to be interrupted by the sound of the shower. He followed her into the bathroom and watched leaning in the doorway folding his arms across his chest as his eyes followed paths of water droplets with envy as they navigated the curves of her body. Never had he wanted to be a drop of water so badly.
Blaire smiled seeing him in the doorway. All she could think about was how damn sexy he looked standing there. A lesser girl would probably be blushing or something having a guy just standing there while they were naked in the shower. But Blaire wasn't that type of girl. She wanted him to see her, to want her as much as she wanted him. She grabbed her washcloth and soap starting to lather washing her legs first and working her way up with intent knowing he was watching. "So are you just going to stand there staring or are you going to take off those clothes and get in here with me?", Blaire asked suggestively. She turned so her back was facing him and held out the washcloth. "Could use someone to help wash my back..", she suggested. Tristan sighed a little enjoying the view of her. But her words brought him out of the trance he was in. "No, I didn't plan to stand there the whole time. Just enjoying the outstanding view I'm being given.", Tristan said walking closer stepping out of his remaining clothes and getting into the shower behind her. He took the cloth from her with one hand and placed his other on her hip. "I'd be happy to help..", Tristan answered as he started rubbing the cloth across her back moving lower then around to the front. Blaire smirked closing her eyes a little enjoying the feel of his hands on her again and having him pressed so close behind her. It was already apparent physically that her plan had worked in getting Tristan to want her as she wanted him.
She pressed herself close against him, leaning into his chest. She titled her head back and kissed his neck as her hands reached back rubbing his side. "Shall we have a little fun while we try to get clean..", Blaire said with a sly grin as her right hand reached down to grasp his arousal starting to slowly rub up and down it. Tristan's eyes closed as she reached lower, dropping the washcloth as she grasped his arousal. "Oh god... You're one hundred percent sure you want your first time to be now with me? Because as I said before I'm okay if this doesn't go that far. This is... farther than I'd have imagined.", Tristan questioned through shuddered breath. Blaire smiled continuing the motion with her right hand she brought her left hand to cover his moving it from her hip to rest between her legs. "I'm more than one hundred percent sure. I planned tonight. I'm prepared for what's going to happen and I'm... eagerly looking forward to it..", Blaire answered moving his left hand a little encouragingly pressing herself against his hand. Tristan moaned a little as she continued and bit at his bottom lip starting to smirk as not only did she make her intentions clear verbally but physically as well. His fingers took the hint and started pressing into her. Which told him her body was just as ready as her mind apparently. "Planned? Prepared?", he questioned teasing as he started kissing her neck. Blaire felt her body shiver and moaned as he took the hint. "Ooohh...", Blaire said biting her lip starting to lose herself in the level of intimacy they were at. "Yes. From when you said you'd be here and I realized... realized it was while my parents were gone. And I'm prepared because I have... have condoms in my nightstand.", Blaire explained trying to keep focus as his fingers played with her.
"Devious woman... I knew there was a reason I like you soooo... much." Tristan answered his words trailing a little as he enjoyed her touch. "So there are condoms in the bedroom... How about we go to the bed then?", Tristan suggested. Blaire moaned some more while he talked less about any of the words and all about what his hand was doing. "Okay...", Blaire breathlessly agreed. Tristan took his hand away which Blaire pouted a little before reminding herself soon she'd have more than his hand between her legs. That thought sent a shiver of anticipation through her body. Tristan reached around her to turn off the shower. Blaire released her hold on him stepping out of the shower grabbing a towel starting to dry off. Tristan followed her out of the shower taking the towel from her and starting to dry her off. He started at her feet moving up, kissing her legs as he did. Blaire smiled biting a little at her bottom lip enjoying his kisses. "Mmm...", Blaire moaned as he kept getting higher. She could feel her heart start racing again as his lips moved higher briefly greeting each of her breasts before locking onto her lips firmly. Blaire wrapped her arms around his neck eagerly returning the kiss. She giggled a little into the kiss as he scooped her up into his arms and carried her into her bedroom laying her into the bed.
Tristan laid down alongside her on the bed pulling back from the kiss. He propped himself up in his left arm and reached over and ran his right hand along the side of her face. "I want you to know something. Something I haven't told you.", Tristan spoke softly. Blaire smiled leaning her face into his hand. She raised an eyebrow being told there was something she didn't know. They'd been taking for over a year now so she found that hard to believe. "What is it?", she asked trying to think what he'd want to tell her now of all moments. Part of her worried he was about to tell her he was getting serious with someone back in Oregon so tonight wouldn't mean anything for him. She knew they couldn't date or have a relationship like any of her friends back at the cave do, but still she felt a connection that she couldn't fight. "This... well it'll be a first time for me too. And I'm glad it's with you..", Tristan explained starting to kiss her neck his right hand starting to slip down her body to fondle her breasts. Blaire had not been prepared for that answer. She'd kind of figured being older, traveling and flirting the way he did that man or woman she wouldn't be his first. She smiled though as he said he was glad it was with her "That's rather hard to imagine, but I'll believe it. And it may go without saying, however I'm going to say it, I know I chose right when I decided I wanted you as my first.", Blaire said before losing her concentration as she moaned arching her back under his touch. Blaire reached for her nightstand, but Tristan leaned over her closing the nightstand. "We don't need those yet...", he explained before starting to kissing lower down her body. Blaire moaned again arching her back and moving her legs to rub against him as he moved lower.
As his mouth reached between her legs and his tongue set to its task Blaire bit her bottom lip drawing in a sharp breath. "Ooooh god... Tristan...", she called reaching down running her hands through his short hair. As he continued Blaire found herself finally fully losing herself as pleasure hit her in waves. She gripped his hair sometimes when a particularly large wave hit her. "Oo Tristan. I…oh god…I am so returning this favor…God just please... Please fuck me.", Blaire moaned. Tristan paused looking up at her with a smile. "Maybe next time, we do have three days. Right now…I don't think I'd last you doing that.", Tristan replied kissing the insides of her thighs before moving back up her body feeling he'd given sufficient time and attention to foreplay. He reached for her nightstand pulling out the condoms making a mental note of how many she had with a grin. Prepared she was. He ripped one from the group and with slightly shaking hands opened it. Blaire noticed that he was nervous. She knew she should probably be too it being her first time, yet she wasn't just anxious and eager to finally have him. She took the condom from him, as he'd been fumbling, and reached down with both hands. She gently stroked his manhood a little, even though it'd not lost any hardness despite his nervousness. Then she carefully slipped the condom onto him smiling up at his face as she did. "Thanks for the assist.", Tristan said with a grin. "Mmm my pleasure." Blaire said bringing a hand up to hold his shoulder while keeping the other in his manhood. Blaire took a breath biting her bottom lip before raising her hips to him, her hand acting as a guide leading him into her. She brought her hand up to grip his other shoulder once he was partially in. Her eyes widened and she let out a cross between a moan of pleasure and a cry of pain as he thrusted, fully inserting himself. "Oh god.", they both said as the word virgin no longer applied to them. From there Tristan and Blaire found their rhythm and worked their way to ecstasy.
Back at the cave no one had even noticed that Blaire and Tristan had sneaked off. They weren't the only ones to leave the bonfire. Merrick had had enough of sitting there watching couples kissing. He was dealing with the fact that Tommy was dating his sister and his best, and possibly only, friend was dating his cousin. But it was rather different to know they were together and watch them sharing saliva in front of him. Even Landon was fully engulfed with kissing Rachel by the fire light. Merrick gave Landon credit of the couples making out Landon and Rachel were the only ones whose hands weren't wandering too far. Merrick did find it funny because sometimes Landon's hand twitched a little like it wanted to go somewhere else but then the control was regained and Landon remained a gentleman. "Okay. So no one will miss me…I'm taking my remaining hard lemonades and going to explore the cave.", Merrick announced which none responded to. So Merrick grabbed the last six-pack of his lemonades and started walking deeper into the cave. He didn't bother taking a flashlight or a torch opting instead to use his powers to allow his eyes to be that of an ocelot and have him night vision. He found a space down a smaller tunnel that kept him far enough from the others. He set down his six-pack and plopped to the rocky floor popping the top of one just listening to the chattering of the bags hanging above.
Rose had spent as much time as she could out on the water. She just wanted to avoid Landon and Rachel as much as she could. One on one things aren't weird between her and her cousin. But she just couldn't bring herself to deal with Landon one on one anymore and to be around them when they were being close just hurt too much. So when she put away her windsurfer and changed into a simple maroon tank top and a pair if khaki cargo shorts and found her way to the cave she stopped dead seeing the couples making out. She didn't care seeing Tommy with Lily, Billy with Atif, Malcolm and Cora Lee, or Xavier with Ashley. No, those didn't bother her at all. But as her eyes scanned the group they stopped at Landon and Rachel. Rachel sitting on Landon's lap with his arms wrapped around her and their mouths pressed together and Rose could faintly see in the light of the fire they were French kissing. Rose quickly looked away as the twinge of heartache snuck in. She went to the cooler hoping to find another hard-lemonade to swipe from Merrick. Rose grumbled seeing none in the cooler. She snorted in anger but as she drew in a breath she caught the smell of the hard lemonade. "He went to hide with it...what a jerk...", Rose grumbled grabbing a piece of wood and lightning it on the bonfire before venturing after the smell of the lemonade. The only way she was going to deal with her first love making out with her first cousin was with alcohol in her system.
Deep in the cave Merrick was enjoying the darkness listening to the chatter of the bats as he drank alone. He could hear footsteps coming closer and as the ocean breeze made its way to him it carried the faint scent of the others and the fire but a stronger scent of Rose. Merrick groaned realizing he wasn't going to be left alone. His green-yellow cat eyes adjusted slightly returning to normal as the light of Rose's torch started to filter into his part of the cave. "There are the hard lemonades. Jerk hiding them.", Rose greeted walking in. Merrick shook his head. "Lower the torch, in fact set it down completely.", Merrick instructed. "Excuse me?", Rose asked. Merrick pointed up to the bats. "My nocturnal friends don't like the light.", Merrick advised. Rose looked up and saw the ceiling of bats twitch at the torch's light. Rose nodded before setting the torch down on the rocky floor before taking a seat next to Merrick. Merrick nodded starting to take a swig from his opened bottle however Rose reached and took the bottle from him taking the swig he was about to. "Excuse me, little wolf, but that's mine...", Merrick said with a growl taking the bottle back and finishing it off. Rose growled back as she grumbled. "I just need a drink damn it.", Rose explained. Merrick sighed and reached grabbing one of the remaining five and handed it to her. "Let me guess, walked in from the beach and couldn't deal with our cousins making out?", Merrick said. Rose took the bottle popping the top and taking a couple gulps. "No...I'm happy for Landon and Rachel. He's my best friend and she's my cousin. Why would I have issue with them kissing?", Rose said trying to play it off as nothing but mostly to convince herself she was okay with it. Merrick started laughing shaking his head. "What's so funny?", Rose asked. "Look. I won't pretend to know you personally, after all we aren't friends and till last year were enemies. But I'm not blind and maybe blame my animal mutation I just don't believe you. You've wanted Landon since he hit puberty. And it kills you that despite all those years of being friends, training together, being in a band together and generally being close you got friend zoned harder than your mom friend zoned Blaire's dad.", Merrick explained.
Rose glared drinking more of her hard lemonade. Merrick smirked. "And that glare says I'm right. Drinking won't make the pain go away.", Merrick said with a shrug. "Let me point out you're back here drinking alone.", Rose countered. "And your point? I have one friend here, and Malcolm is busy with his favorite pastime making out with my cousin. So I'm back here avoiding people who are not only otherwise occupied but who don't care that I'm here.", Merrick answered taking another long swig from his bottle. "That's not fully true. Lily is your sister she cares. And Landon has tired since you left the Acolytes to be your friend. You just shut him and everyone out.", Rose countered. "I've spent my adolescents being the bad guy. It's a roll I'm accustomed to. When it comes to my generation of Bryant Landon's the good boy and I'm the bad boy. Landon's the powerful, talented, smart one who everyone likes. And I'm well not any of those things. And I'm okay with that. People don't bother hanging around me so I'm free to do whatever I want without interference or judgment.", Merrick said. Rose rolled her eyes. "Malcolm seems to think you're a good guy and that you have qualities that are worth him defending you.", Rose stated. "That's because Malcolm is a nice guy and the only one I trust. He knows things about me that I don't let anyone else know.", Merrick said finishing off his second grabbing a third bottle. "Oh like what?", Rose asked leaning over him grabbing one of the last two bottles. Merrick took a long swig of his drink leaning back slightly with raised brow as she leaned reaching past him. "You seriously don't believe in personal space do you little wolf?", Merrick commented. Rose smiled before opening her drink and taking a sip. "Not really. You going to complain?", Rose stated. Merrick shrugged. "Doesn't matter what Malcolm knows about me. Why do you even want to know?", Merrick asked. "Because we are the only two at this party not busy making out. So figure we talk." Rose explained.
"It's not important what Malcolm knows.", Merrick said drinking more starting to feel a buzz. "Come on just tell me. See if what Malcolm knows could convince the rest of us to not think you're a complete loser.", Rose suggested. Merrick sighed. "Fine. Malcolm has faith in me because other than years of being his roommate and never been mean or rude to him, I help when I can." Merrick said. "What do you mean help when you can?", Rose asked titling her head a little to the side. Maybe it was the flickering light of the torch or the hard lemonade she'd been drinking or just that he wasn't being a complete ass but right now he didn't seem so bad and knowing what was under that baggy shirt Rose found herself oddly attracted. "Last year at the new year’s party. I knew about Malcolm and Cora Lee and knew about Tommy and Lily. They had to fess up because they both reeked of my cousin and sister. Granted it took me swearing on my mother's life that I wouldn't tell or freak. Apparently the only way people know for sure I will not do the wrong thing is to use my mom.", Merrick stated. Rose blinked. "Wait. You knew about them? And we all know your mom is apparently the one person you really care about, so that makes sense." Rose questioned taking another swig. "One, yes my mom is important to me. Woman suffered at the hands of Calvin and still chose to have the three of us and love us in spite of how we serve as living reminders of the pain. But she's not the only person I care about. I'd do anything for my siblings and my dad.", Merrick answered.
Rose smiled finishing off her drink. "Spoken like a true Bryant. You know maybe you're not as bad a guy as you like people to think.", Rose said sitting a little closer. "So other than not outing Malcolm and Cora Lee what else does Malcolm know about you?", Rose inquired. Merrick rolled his eyes but did smirk a little. "That new years when you all fought Wanda, I knew just not the details till that morning when Lily, Landon, and the Maximoff twins showed up. Cora Lee texted Malcolm and I agreed to help so no one got hurt. Malcolm got the twins things while I got my mom so it was only her they talked to.", Merrick admitted. "So you're the reason that they didn't run into trouble? So you do care about Landon then?", Rose said a little surprised. "What? No. I didn't do that for Landon. I did that for Lily. I don't want my sister getting hurt x-men or not.", Merrick said shaking his head. Rose just smiled. "Fair enough I suppose. So there's a nice side to you. Guess that explains why Malcolm is willing to defend you. Lots of things I didn't know about you. You've actually surprised me today.", Rose admitted. "There are lots you and most people don't know about me.", Merrick stated. "I kind of like being surprised. My friends keep telling me I should try new things and just try enjoying life. And I think I'm going to take that advice right now and do something I've debated most of today.", Rose said getting even closer to him. Merrick raised an eyebrow finishing off his bottle of lemonade looking at her. "And what might that be?", Merrick asked.
It was a risk. Last time Rose kissed a Bryant first he didn't kiss back and ended up breaking her heart. But this wasn't about having feelings for Merrick, it was an attraction. So without giving herself time to back out she leaned in kissing him placing her hands on the sides of his face. Merrick blinked in shock at the sudden kiss. However unlike his cousin there were no emotions or other baggage that held him back. For Merrick it was just a good looking girl kissing him, so he kissed back. He turned a little to face her more placing his left hand on the side of her face and his right on the back of her neck as he pressed his lips more firmly against hers for a few more moments before pulling back rubbing his lips together locking his green-yellow eyes on her blue eyes. "So how drunk or at least buzzed are you to have done that?", Merrick asked. Rose smiled and laughed a little at the question. "I'm a Howlett it'll take more than some hard lemonades to even get me buzzed.", Rose answered. "Then why?", Merrick asked. Rose grinned. "Because I wanted to. You're an attractive guy, even if you tend to hide that by being an asshole and this baggy shirt.", Rose explained moving a hand up under his shirt lightly running her fingers over his abs. "Why did you kiss back?", Rose asked. Merrick ran his tongue along his lips enjoying the touch, though having a girl touching his body wasn't new but Rose wasn't exactly a townie like the girls in his little black book. "Because I could. You're not jail bait like Blaire, you're not related to me, and you're hot. Keep in mind kissing you doesn't mean more than a physical attraction. I don't do relationships.", Merrick explained. "That's fine. I'm not looking for a boyfriend. Maybe something just based on a physical attraction is what I'm after.", Rose said letting her claws grow out and ran them over his abs.
Merrick growled a little enjoying the feel of the claws, and that was a reason she was very different from the townies he'd made out with or slept with. Granted he had no inclination that the daughter of Wolverine would ever sleep with him, but hey he'd take what he was given. "As long as we're on the same page.", Merrick said before leaning back in kissing her. Rose was surprised but pleasantly that he took the initiative and kissed her. She moved to sit straddling his lap as they kissed her claws moved up, leaving light scratches in their wake. As she moved her claws up his chest she also was bringing up his shirt. Merrick smirked pulling back from the kiss. "That your not so subtle hint little wolf?", Merrick asked. Rose smiled and shrugged a little. "Maybe...", she answered casually. Merrick rolled his eyes a little shaking his head, but pulled off his shirt setting it on the rocks next to them. "Better?", he asked bringing his arms around her to puller her close on his lap. "Yes.", Rose said simply before returning to their kiss. Merrick's right hand moved up her back to hold her neck with his thumb on her jaw line. He applied some pressure to her jaw a less than subtle way of saying 'open your mouth'. But it worked as Rose responded and was pleasantly shocked when his tongue slid into her mouth and began its exploration. Rose mmmed enjoying the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck letting her claws scratch at his shoulders. This was very different from when Landon kissed her. And it was a good different. Merrick was more forceful, more primal in his kissing. The unlikely pair spent the rest of the time locked in a primal battle between their tongues as they explored the others mouth mixed with kisses and bites of the neck while their hands or in their case claws explored the others bodies, though other than Merrick's shirt being off their hands stayed outside of clothes.
Out at the front of the cave Landon's cell phone started beeping with his alarm. He had set the alarm based on getting home to have just enough sleep before his train ride to the city with Lily and their parents to move into the new place. Landon sighed a little, his crow voice very unhappy about the alarm, as he pulled back from kissing Rachel. "I need to head home if I want to even remotely be awake in time to not miss the train tomorrow.", Landon excused softly. Rachel nodded silently rubbing her puffed lips together enjoying that they still tasted like him. She didn't want to let him go even though she knew she had to. Landon gave her a soft kiss. "No pouting gorgeous. I'm going to be just a train ride away and I'll be home on weekends to work for Uncle Demitri and more importantly to see you.", Landon said with a smile running a hand through her hair. Rachel nodded. "I know. I'm just going to miss you is all.", Rachel sighed taking her arms from around him and getting up from his lap. "I'll miss you too.", Landon said standing up. He looked around doing a head count. "Guys..... We're missing four people...", Landon said which apparently got the others attention as they stopped and stated looking around. "Who?", Cora Lee asked standing up and adjusting her top.
"Well the obvious and probably more problematic is Blaire and Tristan. God knows what those two are doing. Then there’s Rose and Merrick. But I'm not sure if Rose came off the water or if Merrick just took off not wanting to stick around.", Landon answered. Ashley got up and fixed her shirt with a frown walking to the mouth of the cave and looking out over the water and then up the beach. She didn't see anyone on the water however saw lights on at Blaire's house including the one she knew was Blaire's bedroom. "Uncle Colby is going to kill us right before he kills Tristan...", Ashley said shaking her head. Atif tapped for Billy to move from his lap, which once Billy moved Atif looked out down the beach and groaned. "If, he finds out. None of us are going to tell the gun toting former navy seal that his little girl isn't a little girl anymore.", Atif said. Ashley nodded. "If is good.", Ashley agreed. Landon shook his head. "Alright so we know where they went. Let's see if we can find Rose because right now I'm on Logan's good side and not bringing his daughter home I'll wager will change that. And guess we should look for Merrick so Kim doesn't worry.", Landon said with a sigh. Malcolm took out his cell phone. "I'll call Merrick generally unless he's with a girl he answers his cell.", Malcolm said hitting the speed dial for Merrick on his cell. "I'll try Rose.", Landon said hitting his speed dial for Rose.
Deep in the cave Merrick and Rose both heard their cell phones don't off. Merrick could hear the familiar 'dun dun dun' from the jaws movie blaring from his back pocket, which he knew was Malcolm. Rose heard a genetic ringing as she'd angrily taken Landon out of her phone. Both ignored the ringing. Lily got up and walked to the back if the cave. "I think I hear a ringing and the jaws theme deeper in the cave.”, Lily said. Malcolm turned. "Jaws is the ringtone Merrick uses for me.", Malcolm stated. Landon frowned hanging up not getting an answer. "No answer from Rose.", he said putting his phone away. "Let me try, no offense but she might answer for me.", Cora Lee said dialing. From deep in the cave a faint ringtone made from a meddling kids sing could be heard. "Now I hear a meddling kids song, can't exactly make it out but it's coming from in the cave.", Lily said. Cora Lee frowned. "She's not answering for me either. Let's check the cave then.", Cora Lee said turning on her flashlight app from her phone. Lily nodded in agreement to starting back with Cora Lee. "Merrick!", Lily called. "Rose!?", Cora Lee yelled as they walked. Merrick pulled back a little keeping his lips just barely from Rose's. "Sounds like my sister and cousin are looking for us. I should probably get my shirt back on and you off my lap.", Merrick said speaking softly. "Mmmm. I don't care that they are looking. We've put up with seeing them making out many times over. They can deal seeing this once.", Rose said pressing her lips back against his. Lily and Cora Lee found a part that split off the main cave and walled in and both had their jaws drop as the light from the flashlight app lit up the cave highlighting Rose straddling Merrick's lap, Merrick without a shirt, Rose's arms around his neck while he had a hand on her neck and the other on her ass, their lips locked and it was just visible that their tongues were being used.
"OH. MY GOD!", Cora Lee yelled dropping her phone add she covered her mouth with both hands in shock and disgust. Lily just blinked in confusion. "What the hell is going on?", Lily asked. Merrick pulled back and turned his head with a smirk to greet his sister and cousin. Rose rubbed her lips together looking at Merrick before finally turning to look at her friends. "What’s it look like?”, Merrick questioned. "IT LOOKS LIKE MY BEST FRIEND IS ON YOUR LAP KISSING YOU!', Cora Lee shouted. Merrick shrugged. "That she is and was. It was rather fun until this interruption. What do you lot want anyways? Was actually enjoying this party finally.", Merrick questioned still smirking. "I'm... What? This… Huh?", Lily questioned trying to process what was happening. "What? You guys were all at the front of the cave making out. We aren't allowed to make out in private?", Rose questioned making no attempt to move from his lap. "But…we are couples...involved in serious committed relationships. My brother...he doesn't do relationships. He just has his little black book of girls he fools around with.", Lily responded. "So? Because we aren't dating and don't intended to date we can't just have some fun?", Rose asked. "Valid question Rose. And really I'd figure we would be the least of your collective worries. Because you guys may not have noticed it but I certainly saw the cowboy following jail bait to the empty beach house. We're just kissing, those two are probably doing more than that.", Merrick pointed out. "We already figured that out. And that's a problem Colby will deal will. And this…this is a situation you do not want her dad to deal with.", Cora Lee responded. Merrick laughed shaking his head. "Knock it off Cora Lee. My dad isn't going to do anything because he isn't going to know. This was just some fun.", Rose said rolling her eyes.
"Right, it's just for fun. Now again I ask why are you interrupting our fun?", Merrick asked moving his hands so both cupped Rose's ass knowing it would just bother Cora Lee and Lily even more. Cora Lee visibly shuddered watching Merrick groping Rose. Rose rolled her eyes and nudged Merrick. "We are looking for you guys because it's time to go. Landon and I have to catch the train in the morning. So get your damn shirt back on and your paws off my best friend's ass.", Lily said. With a narrowing of her eyes his shirt lifted up and hit him in the back of the head. Rose chuckled and retracted her claws and grabbed Merrick's shirt and pulled it over his head. Merrick laughed taking his hands off Rose's ass retracting his claws and putting the shirt on the rest of the way. "That's a new one. I've been undressed by women but never redressed before.", Merrick teased with a smirk. Rose shook her head putting her hands on his shoulders leaning close to his ear. "This was fun, maybe we can do it again sometime.", Rose whispered before standing up. Merrick smirked and casually shrugged as he stood up grabbing the last bottle of his hard lemonade popping the top and chugging it down just to finish them off before grabbing the other empty bottles. "You drank a whole twelve pack?", Lily questioned shaking her head. "Yes. Though did not drink it all by myself this time. You little friend drank half. So she owes me...", Merrick answered. "You'll get paid back.", Rose said. "I'm sure you'll figure a way to pay back the six beers.", Merrick said with a wink still smirking. "Um…eww. Just because she temporarily lost her mental capacities today doesn't mean it'll happen again.", Cora Lee commented. Merrick laughed a little. "Right... Whatever helps you sleep at night...Cousin.", Merrick said patting Cora Lee on the shoulder walking out to the front of the cave taking his cell out.
He knew Rose's e-mail but not her cell. So he sent a quick e-mail to her, '516-836-9156, call or text if you want to meet up again Little Wolf'. The others had stated packing up the party supplies while Lily and Cora Lee went to find Rose and Merrick. Landon and Malcolm stopped loading chairs into their arms when Merrick walked out with a smirk on his lips. Landon knew that type of smirk, it was a Bryant smirk. Malcolm knew the smirk for a different reason it meant Merrick had been doing something with a girl. "Um...Merrick? You look like you're in a good mood. Should I be worried?", Malcolm asked with raised brow. Merrick just kept smirking sending a text to a girl from his 'little black book' contacts for a hook up feeling a little on the frisky side. "Nothing to worry too much about roomie. Tell mom I'll be in late. Going to meet up with someone in a few.", Merrick said putting the phone back in his pocket. Merrick put his empties in a bag with other recyclables and with that Merrick shifted into a large black wolf and disappeared into the night. Landon and Malcolm shrugged and started picking up again while Lily, Cora Lee and Rose walked back from the depths of the cave. Lily and Cora Lee's faces told a story of horror while Rose was smiling checking her phone having gotten an email notification and was updating her contacts list to include Merrick. "So is everything alright?", Landon asked raising an eyebrow looking at his cousin, sister and then friend. Rose looked up from her phone as she put out away. "Yeah. Everything's fantastic. Thanks for asking.", Rose said smiling grabbing her stuff and some of the items they had brought with them and headed for the van. Landon watched confused then looked to Lily and Cora Lee. "Um...just. Let's not talk about it.", Lily said grabbing some things and heading for the van. "Um okay.", Landon said still confused. Cora Lee just shook her head grabbing some stuff. She paused and gave Malcolm a kiss. "I'll call you later Sparky.", Cora Lee said before heading out. "I feel we missed something.", Landon stated. "Yeah, but based on their expressions and how Merrick was smirking we don't want to know.", Malcolm said carrying his arm load of items from the cave to head to the haven with the Maximoff twins. Landon shrugged and double checked the fire before heading to the van.
Rachel was in the front seat and then Rose, Cora Lee and Lily were in the back. Ashley was going for a 'drive' with Xavier and Atif was crashing at his parent's for the night. Rachel looked to Landon concerned because she'd seen the looks on Lily and Cora Lee's faces. Landon shrugged a little before driving away. The drive to Rachel's was errierly quiet and it was freaking Landon out. When they got to Rachel's he got out and walked her to the door for a goodnight kiss. "Alright want to tell us what the hell that was about at the cave?", Cora Lee finally broke the silence. "What? I made out with Merrick big deal? He's attractive and when he's not being an asshole he not bad company.", Rose said with a shrug. "But you can't seriously want to be with him. I mean he's Merrick of all people...", Cora Lee said with a shudder. "Excuse me. We can't all get to make out with our high school sweetheart. We don't all get the guy we've always wanted. Just because Merrick's not the guy I thought I'd make out with doesn't mean I didn't enjoy making out with him.", Rose countered. Lily sighed and looked out the window at Landon kissing Rachel goodnight and a thought hit her. A thought she didn't like. "Listen to me Rose. I love you like a sister. But Merrick is my brother. And if you're using him as like a runner up deal because the Bryant you wanted picked someone else.... I'll put your healing limits to the test. I don't care if Merrick won't care because he's a man whore, he has feelings and they can get hurt. He's spent our lives comparing himself to Landon always thinking he's not as good. He doesn't need to be your consolation prize.", Lily warned. Rose growled a little and glared offended at Lily. "I can't believe you just said that to me. I'm not using him because of Landon. We both know what that make out session was, two people who find the other physically attractive giving in to a little animal/teenage hormones.", Rose stated indignantly. Lily was about to say something but stopped as Landon climbed into the van.
Landon sighed and turned to look into the back seat. "Seriously what the fuck girls? I've known you three our whole lives. And since you could talk you've never been this silent. It's freaking me out. Now someone tell me your problem. This is about the cave?", Landon demanded. The three looked away. "Come on guys. We've been best friends forever. And don't say it's girl talk because you have talked about menstrual cycles around me. This about...", Landon said looking at them trying to read body language and remembering the cave. "About Rose and Merrick... I'm going to guess kissing because granted we were at the cave long enough for more I'm just banking Rose wouldn't randomly have sex with someone.", Landon concluded. All three looked at him stunned. "YOU KNOW!?", they asked. Landon laughed. "They were obviously back there together based on the sounds of their cells when we called them. Then the Bryant smirk Merrick had on his face when he walked out and you two having a look of terror on your faces just said it all. So what is your problem? Rose can kiss anyone she wants and as her friends we shouldn't judge her choice.", Landon said with a shrug. Rose blinked stunned. "So you don't care that I was making out with Merrick?", Rose questioned. "No. You're my best friend, I want you to do whatever will make you happy. I'll admit I'm surprised, but that's all.", Landon said. "How can you be so calm? I mean this is Merrick! He's a man whore and you don't care that our best friend was making out with him?", Cora Lee questioned.
"I'm calm because there's no reason to lose my temper or get upset at all. She made out with him she's not fucking him and joining his little black book. And even if she does that's between them. I haven't lost my temper and not only transfigured but pulverized Malcolm for having sex with you. Nor have I gone protective big brother mode on Xavier for sleeping with Ashley, Billy for screwing Atif, or Tommy for having sex with Lily in my van. Hell I walked away from the Delaney beach house where we all know Tristan and Blaire were having sex.", Landon explained. Lily and Cora Lee both looked at him stunned but Rose found herself smiling. Landon was on her side about this. She lunged forward and hugged him from the back seat. "Thank you Landon.", Rose said. Landon smiled and patted Rose's arms. "You're welcome. You're always going to be my best friend and I will always have your back just like you have mine. So think you three can stop being stupid weird on our last night in Bayville together?", Landon asked. Cora Lee and Lily sighed and nodded. "Alright. Let's head back to the institute.", Cora Lee agreed. Rise sat back in her seat and Landon drove back to the institute for his and Lily's last night in the dorms.
Completely unaware of what was happening back at the cave or that everyone was packing up for the night Blaire blissfully cuddled in Tristan's arms. "Should we get dressed and go back to the cave so we they don't realize we've gone missing?", Tristan asked running a hand along her side under the blanket. Blaire sighed and stretched before relaxing back against his chest. She kissed along his left arm that was wrapped around her under her neck. "Mmm. I don't care if they realize we are gone or figure out what we left to go do. I am too content here in your arms. And since you're only here for three days, I'm not wasting any time I could spend right here.", Blaire said with a soft sigh. Tristan smiled and brought his right arm back over her to hold her close. "So I'm staying the night then?", Tristan asked nuzzling her neck. Blaire smirked. "Unless you have somewhere you need to be, yes.", Blaire answered. "Nowhere I need to be that's be better than this.", Tristan said kissing her neck. "So any regrets?", Tristan asked. Blaire giggled as she sighed. "I have but one regret about today.", Blaire admitted. "And that is?", Tristan asked curiously. "That I waited till after sunset to bring you to my house. That I wasted time at the beach when I could have had those hours in bed with you.", Blaire explained. Tristan smiled giving her a little squeeze liking that answer. "Well you have me now and every day I'm in town.", Tristan said. Blaire closed her eyes with a content sigh. "I like that. And maybe later I'll 'have' you again. But right now, I'm going to sleep and regain energy.", Blaire explained with a yawn. Tristan nodded cuddling close enjoying the feel of their naked bodies pressed against each other. "Goodnight Blaire.", Tristan whispered closing his eyes ready for some sleep too. "Night Tristan.", she said softly starting to fall asleep in the warmth of his arms.

When everyone seemed sufficiently distracted Blaire pulled back from kissing Tristan standing up putting a finger over her lips indicating he should be quiet. Tristan picked up his hat and silently followed Blaire away from the cave. "So beautiful where we going?", Tristan asked figuring they were far enough away to not be heard. "You'll see...", Blaire said glancing to him in the dark a smirk on her lips that were still flushed from the kissing in the cave. She headed to the closest beach house and started up the steps of the deck. Tristan followed curiously behind her. Blaire kicked off her sandals and walked inside Tristan following her lead and doing the same closing the door behind hm. "Soo... where are we?", Tristan asked looking around, but the decor answered him. There was a framed picture on the wall of a rather pretty blonde woman, a man with dark black hair, a boy with blonde hair and then there was Blaire with her ebony hair they all had blue eyes the woman and Blaire having the same shade and the man and boy having the same shade. "This is…your house? Um where's your family?", Tristan asked a little trepidatiously. Blaire set her bandana down on the island counter that over looked the living room before jumping up onto the counter looking at him. "Yeah this is my house. As for my family. Carter is at the institute. And my parents are in Hawaii for another four nights on a second honeymoon.", Blaire explained gesturing to him with her index finger to come over. Tristan raised an eyebrow smiling slyly walking over. "So you led me away from a cave full of technical chaperones to your house where we are completely alone? I'm liking where this is possibly going..", Tristan said placing his hands on her waist. Blaire grinned. "That was the idea. And trust me..", Blaire said wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. "We are both going to like where this is going." Blaire added before locking her lips to his again.
Tristan smiled into the kiss before returning it his arms slipping around her tightly. Blaire had her plan and she wasn't going to back out of it. Because even now knowing she was but a short eight feet from her bedroom she didn't have any fear or second thoughts. No the butterflies in her stomach was from anticipation and excitement. She deepened the kiss parting her lips and running her tongue along his lips asking to be let in. Which Tristan answered the request opening his mouth letting his tongue mingle with hers as one of his hands slid up the outside of her top to hold the back of her head. Blaire moaned a little into his mouth as her hands moved down from his neck down his chest to grab the bottom of his shirt pulling it up, breaking the kiss long enough to pull the shirt up as Tristan raised his arms over his head for her. Blaire ran her hands over his chest outlining his scars. Tristan rubbed his lips together feeling shivers as her delicate fingers moved over his chest and scars. Blaire leaned forward starting to kiss at his neck and ear. She smiled against his neck as she heard an audible mmm from him. "Blaire... exactly what are we doing? I just want to kind of mentally prepare myself for when we hit the stopping point.", Tristan asked running his hands on the exposed area of her thighs. Blaire smiled. "Who said there's going to be a stopping point?", Blaire answered.
Tristan pulled back to look at her a mix of shock, nervousness, and excitement on his face. "Are you sure about that? Cause I mean, we are both flirts prone to tease. And if this ends just being a rather intense make out session I'm okay with that.", Tristan said. He could live with a set of 'blue balls', after all he wasn't the type that would push someone into doing more than they are ready and willing to do. Blaire smiled shaking her head. "Very sweet speech handsome. However I'm not teasing you. I'm extremely serious about this. And I'll prove it.", Blaire said pulling her tank top off tossing it to the floor with his shirt to reveal her bikini top. She unhooked her legs from around him pushing him back a little as she jumped off the counter. Tristan watched with interest as she took off the top then was a little confused as she jumped down from the counter. Blaire started to the hall reaching behind her as she walked and unhooked her bikini top tossing it back over her shoulder to hit Tristan in the face. "What's the matador phrase, 'toro toro'?", Blaire teased looking over her shoulder at him with a grin. Tristan blinked as he watched her remove the bikini top and smiled a little as he was hit in the face with the warm fabric. He reached up taking the bikini top from his face still smiling.
"Where are you going? Come back...", Tristan requested catching up to her grasping her bare waist. He pushed some of her hair aside and started kissing along her neck and shoulder. His shamrock eyes looking down over her shoulder to her bare chest. "God damn...", Tristan said running his hands up her exposed sides reaching around to cup her breasts rubbing his thumbs across her nipples. This was a new sensation for her and Blaire could feel the butterflies in her stomach start fluttering faster as his touched her. She bit her bottom lip closing her eyes enjoying the attention but trying to keep her wits about her as she was not ready to lose herself in the moment…yet. "Mmm...I figured we could... mmm... both use a shower after a long day at the beach.", Blaire managed to answer pulling forward out of his touch as she unbuttoned her shorts. She walked down the hall to pause at the doorway of her bedroom and slipped her daisy dukes down kicking them off. She licked her lips looking down the hall to him. "You going to join me?", Blaire asked smiling a devious glint in her eyes before she walked into her bedroom.
Blaire took a breath once she was in her room she was starting to get anxious about what she had planned. She didn't want to back out but looking at her bed and knowing the condoms were stashed away in her nightstand. All she could think about was skipping the shower and just pushing him onto the bed and having her way with him. But she had her strategy and she was going to stick to it. In the hallway Tristan stood still trying to gain some amount of composure. He may be a massive flirt and most might not believe this, but he'd not had sex with anyone. So this wasn't just going to be her first time. And god she was making keeping any amount of control impossible as he watched her remove her shorts and asked him to join her. He rubbed his lips together and followed her down the hall and into her bedroom. He looked from her to the bed and wanted to just scoop her up and get her in that bed. Though he then worried about the fact he wasn't prepared for this outcome and wondered how prepared she was. Blaire looked over her shoulder hearing footsteps and smiled seeing him. She took a breath and slipped out of her bikini bottoms walking into her bathroom and turning on the shower stepping inside letting the warm water wash over her. She kept an eye on the door waiting to see if he followed. Tristan licked his lips mming at the sight of her naked backside. The ideas of what he'd like to do to her started racing through his mind only to be interrupted by the sound of the shower. He followed her into the bathroom and watched leaning in the doorway folding his arms across his chest as his eyes followed paths of water droplets with envy as they navigated the curves of her body. Never had he wanted to be a drop of water so badly.
Blaire smiled seeing him in the doorway. All she could think about was how damn sexy he looked standing there. A lesser girl would probably be blushing or something having a guy just standing there while they were naked in the shower. But Blaire wasn't that type of girl. She wanted him to see her, to want her as much as she wanted him. She grabbed her washcloth and soap starting to lather washing her legs first and working her way up with intent knowing he was watching. "So are you just going to stand there staring or are you going to take off those clothes and get in here with me?", Blaire asked suggestively. She turned so her back was facing him and held out the washcloth. "Could use someone to help wash my back..", she suggested. Tristan sighed a little enjoying the view of her. But her words brought him out of the trance he was in. "No, I didn't plan to stand there the whole time. Just enjoying the outstanding view I'm being given.", Tristan said walking closer stepping out of his remaining clothes and getting into the shower behind her. He took the cloth from her with one hand and placed his other on her hip. "I'd be happy to help..", Tristan answered as he started rubbing the cloth across her back moving lower then around to the front. Blaire smirked closing her eyes a little enjoying the feel of his hands on her again and having him pressed so close behind her. It was already apparent physically that her plan had worked in getting Tristan to want her as she wanted him.
She pressed herself close against him, leaning into his chest. She titled her head back and kissed his neck as her hands reached back rubbing his side. "Shall we have a little fun while we try to get clean..", Blaire said with a sly grin as her right hand reached down to grasp his arousal starting to slowly rub up and down it. Tristan's eyes closed as she reached lower, dropping the washcloth as she grasped his arousal. "Oh god... You're one hundred percent sure you want your first time to be now with me? Because as I said before I'm okay if this doesn't go that far. This is... farther than I'd have imagined.", Tristan questioned through shuddered breath. Blaire smiled continuing the motion with her right hand she brought her left hand to cover his moving it from her hip to rest between her legs. "I'm more than one hundred percent sure. I planned tonight. I'm prepared for what's going to happen and I'm... eagerly looking forward to it..", Blaire answered moving his left hand a little encouragingly pressing herself against his hand. Tristan moaned a little as she continued and bit at his bottom lip starting to smirk as not only did she make her intentions clear verbally but physically as well. His fingers took the hint and started pressing into her. Which told him her body was just as ready as her mind apparently. "Planned? Prepared?", he questioned teasing as he started kissing her neck. Blaire felt her body shiver and moaned as he took the hint. "Ooohh...", Blaire said biting her lip starting to lose herself in the level of intimacy they were at. "Yes. From when you said you'd be here and I realized... realized it was while my parents were gone. And I'm prepared because I have... have condoms in my nightstand.", Blaire explained trying to keep focus as his fingers played with her.
"Devious woman... I knew there was a reason I like you soooo... much." Tristan answered his words trailing a little as he enjoyed her touch. "So there are condoms in the bedroom... How about we go to the bed then?", Tristan suggested. Blaire moaned some more while he talked less about any of the words and all about what his hand was doing. "Okay...", Blaire breathlessly agreed. Tristan took his hand away which Blaire pouted a little before reminding herself soon she'd have more than his hand between her legs. That thought sent a shiver of anticipation through her body. Tristan reached around her to turn off the shower. Blaire released her hold on him stepping out of the shower grabbing a towel starting to dry off. Tristan followed her out of the shower taking the towel from her and starting to dry her off. He started at her feet moving up, kissing her legs as he did. Blaire smiled biting a little at her bottom lip enjoying his kisses. "Mmm...", Blaire moaned as he kept getting higher. She could feel her heart start racing again as his lips moved higher briefly greeting each of her breasts before locking onto her lips firmly. Blaire wrapped her arms around his neck eagerly returning the kiss. She giggled a little into the kiss as he scooped her up into his arms and carried her into her bedroom laying her into the bed.
Tristan laid down alongside her on the bed pulling back from the kiss. He propped himself up in his left arm and reached over and ran his right hand along the side of her face. "I want you to know something. Something I haven't told you.", Tristan spoke softly. Blaire smiled leaning her face into his hand. She raised an eyebrow being told there was something she didn't know. They'd been taking for over a year now so she found that hard to believe. "What is it?", she asked trying to think what he'd want to tell her now of all moments. Part of her worried he was about to tell her he was getting serious with someone back in Oregon so tonight wouldn't mean anything for him. She knew they couldn't date or have a relationship like any of her friends back at the cave do, but still she felt a connection that she couldn't fight. "This... well it'll be a first time for me too. And I'm glad it's with you..", Tristan explained starting to kiss her neck his right hand starting to slip down her body to fondle her breasts. Blaire had not been prepared for that answer. She'd kind of figured being older, traveling and flirting the way he did that man or woman she wouldn't be his first. She smiled though as he said he was glad it was with her "That's rather hard to imagine, but I'll believe it. And it may go without saying, however I'm going to say it, I know I chose right when I decided I wanted you as my first.", Blaire said before losing her concentration as she moaned arching her back under his touch. Blaire reached for her nightstand, but Tristan leaned over her closing the nightstand. "We don't need those yet...", he explained before starting to kissing lower down her body. Blaire moaned again arching her back and moving her legs to rub against him as he moved lower.
As his mouth reached between her legs and his tongue set to its task Blaire bit her bottom lip drawing in a sharp breath. "Ooooh god... Tristan...", she called reaching down running her hands through his short hair. As he continued Blaire found herself finally fully losing herself as pleasure hit her in waves. She gripped his hair sometimes when a particularly large wave hit her. "Oo Tristan. I…oh god…I am so returning this favor…God just please... Please fuck me.", Blaire moaned. Tristan paused looking up at her with a smile. "Maybe next time, we do have three days. Right now…I don't think I'd last you doing that.", Tristan replied kissing the insides of her thighs before moving back up her body feeling he'd given sufficient time and attention to foreplay. He reached for her nightstand pulling out the condoms making a mental note of how many she had with a grin. Prepared she was. He ripped one from the group and with slightly shaking hands opened it. Blaire noticed that he was nervous. She knew she should probably be too it being her first time, yet she wasn't just anxious and eager to finally have him. She took the condom from him, as he'd been fumbling, and reached down with both hands. She gently stroked his manhood a little, even though it'd not lost any hardness despite his nervousness. Then she carefully slipped the condom onto him smiling up at his face as she did. "Thanks for the assist.", Tristan said with a grin. "Mmm my pleasure." Blaire said bringing a hand up to hold his shoulder while keeping the other in his manhood. Blaire took a breath biting her bottom lip before raising her hips to him, her hand acting as a guide leading him into her. She brought her hand up to grip his other shoulder once he was partially in. Her eyes widened and she let out a cross between a moan of pleasure and a cry of pain as he thrusted, fully inserting himself. "Oh god.", they both said as the word virgin no longer applied to them. From there Tristan and Blaire found their rhythm and worked their way to ecstasy.
Back at the cave no one had even noticed that Blaire and Tristan had sneaked off. They weren't the only ones to leave the bonfire. Merrick had had enough of sitting there watching couples kissing. He was dealing with the fact that Tommy was dating his sister and his best, and possibly only, friend was dating his cousin. But it was rather different to know they were together and watch them sharing saliva in front of him. Even Landon was fully engulfed with kissing Rachel by the fire light. Merrick gave Landon credit of the couples making out Landon and Rachel were the only ones whose hands weren't wandering too far. Merrick did find it funny because sometimes Landon's hand twitched a little like it wanted to go somewhere else but then the control was regained and Landon remained a gentleman. "Okay. So no one will miss me…I'm taking my remaining hard lemonades and going to explore the cave.", Merrick announced which none responded to. So Merrick grabbed the last six-pack of his lemonades and started walking deeper into the cave. He didn't bother taking a flashlight or a torch opting instead to use his powers to allow his eyes to be that of an ocelot and have him night vision. He found a space down a smaller tunnel that kept him far enough from the others. He set down his six-pack and plopped to the rocky floor popping the top of one just listening to the chattering of the bags hanging above.
Rose had spent as much time as she could out on the water. She just wanted to avoid Landon and Rachel as much as she could. One on one things aren't weird between her and her cousin. But she just couldn't bring herself to deal with Landon one on one anymore and to be around them when they were being close just hurt too much. So when she put away her windsurfer and changed into a simple maroon tank top and a pair if khaki cargo shorts and found her way to the cave she stopped dead seeing the couples making out. She didn't care seeing Tommy with Lily, Billy with Atif, Malcolm and Cora Lee, or Xavier with Ashley. No, those didn't bother her at all. But as her eyes scanned the group they stopped at Landon and Rachel. Rachel sitting on Landon's lap with his arms wrapped around her and their mouths pressed together and Rose could faintly see in the light of the fire they were French kissing. Rose quickly looked away as the twinge of heartache snuck in. She went to the cooler hoping to find another hard-lemonade to swipe from Merrick. Rose grumbled seeing none in the cooler. She snorted in anger but as she drew in a breath she caught the smell of the hard lemonade. "He went to hide with it...what a jerk...", Rose grumbled grabbing a piece of wood and lightning it on the bonfire before venturing after the smell of the lemonade. The only way she was going to deal with her first love making out with her first cousin was with alcohol in her system.
Deep in the cave Merrick was enjoying the darkness listening to the chatter of the bats as he drank alone. He could hear footsteps coming closer and as the ocean breeze made its way to him it carried the faint scent of the others and the fire but a stronger scent of Rose. Merrick groaned realizing he wasn't going to be left alone. His green-yellow cat eyes adjusted slightly returning to normal as the light of Rose's torch started to filter into his part of the cave. "There are the hard lemonades. Jerk hiding them.", Rose greeted walking in. Merrick shook his head. "Lower the torch, in fact set it down completely.", Merrick instructed. "Excuse me?", Rose asked. Merrick pointed up to the bats. "My nocturnal friends don't like the light.", Merrick advised. Rose looked up and saw the ceiling of bats twitch at the torch's light. Rose nodded before setting the torch down on the rocky floor before taking a seat next to Merrick. Merrick nodded starting to take a swig from his opened bottle however Rose reached and took the bottle from him taking the swig he was about to. "Excuse me, little wolf, but that's mine...", Merrick said with a growl taking the bottle back and finishing it off. Rose growled back as she grumbled. "I just need a drink damn it.", Rose explained. Merrick sighed and reached grabbing one of the remaining five and handed it to her. "Let me guess, walked in from the beach and couldn't deal with our cousins making out?", Merrick said. Rose took the bottle popping the top and taking a couple gulps. "No...I'm happy for Landon and Rachel. He's my best friend and she's my cousin. Why would I have issue with them kissing?", Rose said trying to play it off as nothing but mostly to convince herself she was okay with it. Merrick started laughing shaking his head. "What's so funny?", Rose asked. "Look. I won't pretend to know you personally, after all we aren't friends and till last year were enemies. But I'm not blind and maybe blame my animal mutation I just don't believe you. You've wanted Landon since he hit puberty. And it kills you that despite all those years of being friends, training together, being in a band together and generally being close you got friend zoned harder than your mom friend zoned Blaire's dad.", Merrick explained.
Rose glared drinking more of her hard lemonade. Merrick smirked. "And that glare says I'm right. Drinking won't make the pain go away.", Merrick said with a shrug. "Let me point out you're back here drinking alone.", Rose countered. "And your point? I have one friend here, and Malcolm is busy with his favorite pastime making out with my cousin. So I'm back here avoiding people who are not only otherwise occupied but who don't care that I'm here.", Merrick answered taking another long swig from his bottle. "That's not fully true. Lily is your sister she cares. And Landon has tired since you left the Acolytes to be your friend. You just shut him and everyone out.", Rose countered. "I've spent my adolescents being the bad guy. It's a roll I'm accustomed to. When it comes to my generation of Bryant Landon's the good boy and I'm the bad boy. Landon's the powerful, talented, smart one who everyone likes. And I'm well not any of those things. And I'm okay with that. People don't bother hanging around me so I'm free to do whatever I want without interference or judgment.", Merrick said. Rose rolled her eyes. "Malcolm seems to think you're a good guy and that you have qualities that are worth him defending you.", Rose stated. "That's because Malcolm is a nice guy and the only one I trust. He knows things about me that I don't let anyone else know.", Merrick said finishing off his second grabbing a third bottle. "Oh like what?", Rose asked leaning over him grabbing one of the last two bottles. Merrick took a long swig of his drink leaning back slightly with raised brow as she leaned reaching past him. "You seriously don't believe in personal space do you little wolf?", Merrick commented. Rose smiled before opening her drink and taking a sip. "Not really. You going to complain?", Rose stated. Merrick shrugged. "Doesn't matter what Malcolm knows about me. Why do you even want to know?", Merrick asked. "Because we are the only two at this party not busy making out. So figure we talk." Rose explained.
"It's not important what Malcolm knows.", Merrick said drinking more starting to feel a buzz. "Come on just tell me. See if what Malcolm knows could convince the rest of us to not think you're a complete loser.", Rose suggested. Merrick sighed. "Fine. Malcolm has faith in me because other than years of being his roommate and never been mean or rude to him, I help when I can." Merrick said. "What do you mean help when you can?", Rose asked titling her head a little to the side. Maybe it was the flickering light of the torch or the hard lemonade she'd been drinking or just that he wasn't being a complete ass but right now he didn't seem so bad and knowing what was under that baggy shirt Rose found herself oddly attracted. "Last year at the new year’s party. I knew about Malcolm and Cora Lee and knew about Tommy and Lily. They had to fess up because they both reeked of my cousin and sister. Granted it took me swearing on my mother's life that I wouldn't tell or freak. Apparently the only way people know for sure I will not do the wrong thing is to use my mom.", Merrick stated. Rose blinked. "Wait. You knew about them? And we all know your mom is apparently the one person you really care about, so that makes sense." Rose questioned taking another swig. "One, yes my mom is important to me. Woman suffered at the hands of Calvin and still chose to have the three of us and love us in spite of how we serve as living reminders of the pain. But she's not the only person I care about. I'd do anything for my siblings and my dad.", Merrick answered.
Rose smiled finishing off her drink. "Spoken like a true Bryant. You know maybe you're not as bad a guy as you like people to think.", Rose said sitting a little closer. "So other than not outing Malcolm and Cora Lee what else does Malcolm know about you?", Rose inquired. Merrick rolled his eyes but did smirk a little. "That new years when you all fought Wanda, I knew just not the details till that morning when Lily, Landon, and the Maximoff twins showed up. Cora Lee texted Malcolm and I agreed to help so no one got hurt. Malcolm got the twins things while I got my mom so it was only her they talked to.", Merrick admitted. "So you're the reason that they didn't run into trouble? So you do care about Landon then?", Rose said a little surprised. "What? No. I didn't do that for Landon. I did that for Lily. I don't want my sister getting hurt x-men or not.", Merrick said shaking his head. Rose just smiled. "Fair enough I suppose. So there's a nice side to you. Guess that explains why Malcolm is willing to defend you. Lots of things I didn't know about you. You've actually surprised me today.", Rose admitted. "There are lots you and most people don't know about me.", Merrick stated. "I kind of like being surprised. My friends keep telling me I should try new things and just try enjoying life. And I think I'm going to take that advice right now and do something I've debated most of today.", Rose said getting even closer to him. Merrick raised an eyebrow finishing off his bottle of lemonade looking at her. "And what might that be?", Merrick asked.
It was a risk. Last time Rose kissed a Bryant first he didn't kiss back and ended up breaking her heart. But this wasn't about having feelings for Merrick, it was an attraction. So without giving herself time to back out she leaned in kissing him placing her hands on the sides of his face. Merrick blinked in shock at the sudden kiss. However unlike his cousin there were no emotions or other baggage that held him back. For Merrick it was just a good looking girl kissing him, so he kissed back. He turned a little to face her more placing his left hand on the side of her face and his right on the back of her neck as he pressed his lips more firmly against hers for a few more moments before pulling back rubbing his lips together locking his green-yellow eyes on her blue eyes. "So how drunk or at least buzzed are you to have done that?", Merrick asked. Rose smiled and laughed a little at the question. "I'm a Howlett it'll take more than some hard lemonades to even get me buzzed.", Rose answered. "Then why?", Merrick asked. Rose grinned. "Because I wanted to. You're an attractive guy, even if you tend to hide that by being an asshole and this baggy shirt.", Rose explained moving a hand up under his shirt lightly running her fingers over his abs. "Why did you kiss back?", Rose asked. Merrick ran his tongue along his lips enjoying the touch, though having a girl touching his body wasn't new but Rose wasn't exactly a townie like the girls in his little black book. "Because I could. You're not jail bait like Blaire, you're not related to me, and you're hot. Keep in mind kissing you doesn't mean more than a physical attraction. I don't do relationships.", Merrick explained. "That's fine. I'm not looking for a boyfriend. Maybe something just based on a physical attraction is what I'm after.", Rose said letting her claws grow out and ran them over his abs.
Merrick growled a little enjoying the feel of the claws, and that was a reason she was very different from the townies he'd made out with or slept with. Granted he had no inclination that the daughter of Wolverine would ever sleep with him, but hey he'd take what he was given. "As long as we're on the same page.", Merrick said before leaning back in kissing her. Rose was surprised but pleasantly that he took the initiative and kissed her. She moved to sit straddling his lap as they kissed her claws moved up, leaving light scratches in their wake. As she moved her claws up his chest she also was bringing up his shirt. Merrick smirked pulling back from the kiss. "That your not so subtle hint little wolf?", Merrick asked. Rose smiled and shrugged a little. "Maybe...", she answered casually. Merrick rolled his eyes a little shaking his head, but pulled off his shirt setting it on the rocks next to them. "Better?", he asked bringing his arms around her to puller her close on his lap. "Yes.", Rose said simply before returning to their kiss. Merrick's right hand moved up her back to hold her neck with his thumb on her jaw line. He applied some pressure to her jaw a less than subtle way of saying 'open your mouth'. But it worked as Rose responded and was pleasantly shocked when his tongue slid into her mouth and began its exploration. Rose mmmed enjoying the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck letting her claws scratch at his shoulders. This was very different from when Landon kissed her. And it was a good different. Merrick was more forceful, more primal in his kissing. The unlikely pair spent the rest of the time locked in a primal battle between their tongues as they explored the others mouth mixed with kisses and bites of the neck while their hands or in their case claws explored the others bodies, though other than Merrick's shirt being off their hands stayed outside of clothes.
Out at the front of the cave Landon's cell phone started beeping with his alarm. He had set the alarm based on getting home to have just enough sleep before his train ride to the city with Lily and their parents to move into the new place. Landon sighed a little, his crow voice very unhappy about the alarm, as he pulled back from kissing Rachel. "I need to head home if I want to even remotely be awake in time to not miss the train tomorrow.", Landon excused softly. Rachel nodded silently rubbing her puffed lips together enjoying that they still tasted like him. She didn't want to let him go even though she knew she had to. Landon gave her a soft kiss. "No pouting gorgeous. I'm going to be just a train ride away and I'll be home on weekends to work for Uncle Demitri and more importantly to see you.", Landon said with a smile running a hand through her hair. Rachel nodded. "I know. I'm just going to miss you is all.", Rachel sighed taking her arms from around him and getting up from his lap. "I'll miss you too.", Landon said standing up. He looked around doing a head count. "Guys..... We're missing four people...", Landon said which apparently got the others attention as they stopped and stated looking around. "Who?", Cora Lee asked standing up and adjusting her top.
"Well the obvious and probably more problematic is Blaire and Tristan. God knows what those two are doing. Then there’s Rose and Merrick. But I'm not sure if Rose came off the water or if Merrick just took off not wanting to stick around.", Landon answered. Ashley got up and fixed her shirt with a frown walking to the mouth of the cave and looking out over the water and then up the beach. She didn't see anyone on the water however saw lights on at Blaire's house including the one she knew was Blaire's bedroom. "Uncle Colby is going to kill us right before he kills Tristan...", Ashley said shaking her head. Atif tapped for Billy to move from his lap, which once Billy moved Atif looked out down the beach and groaned. "If, he finds out. None of us are going to tell the gun toting former navy seal that his little girl isn't a little girl anymore.", Atif said. Ashley nodded. "If is good.", Ashley agreed. Landon shook his head. "Alright so we know where they went. Let's see if we can find Rose because right now I'm on Logan's good side and not bringing his daughter home I'll wager will change that. And guess we should look for Merrick so Kim doesn't worry.", Landon said with a sigh. Malcolm took out his cell phone. "I'll call Merrick generally unless he's with a girl he answers his cell.", Malcolm said hitting the speed dial for Merrick on his cell. "I'll try Rose.", Landon said hitting his speed dial for Rose.
Deep in the cave Merrick and Rose both heard their cell phones don't off. Merrick could hear the familiar 'dun dun dun' from the jaws movie blaring from his back pocket, which he knew was Malcolm. Rose heard a genetic ringing as she'd angrily taken Landon out of her phone. Both ignored the ringing. Lily got up and walked to the back if the cave. "I think I hear a ringing and the jaws theme deeper in the cave.”, Lily said. Malcolm turned. "Jaws is the ringtone Merrick uses for me.", Malcolm stated. Landon frowned hanging up not getting an answer. "No answer from Rose.", he said putting his phone away. "Let me try, no offense but she might answer for me.", Cora Lee said dialing. From deep in the cave a faint ringtone made from a meddling kids sing could be heard. "Now I hear a meddling kids song, can't exactly make it out but it's coming from in the cave.", Lily said. Cora Lee frowned. "She's not answering for me either. Let's check the cave then.", Cora Lee said turning on her flashlight app from her phone. Lily nodded in agreement to starting back with Cora Lee. "Merrick!", Lily called. "Rose!?", Cora Lee yelled as they walked. Merrick pulled back a little keeping his lips just barely from Rose's. "Sounds like my sister and cousin are looking for us. I should probably get my shirt back on and you off my lap.", Merrick said speaking softly. "Mmmm. I don't care that they are looking. We've put up with seeing them making out many times over. They can deal seeing this once.", Rose said pressing her lips back against his. Lily and Cora Lee found a part that split off the main cave and walled in and both had their jaws drop as the light from the flashlight app lit up the cave highlighting Rose straddling Merrick's lap, Merrick without a shirt, Rose's arms around his neck while he had a hand on her neck and the other on her ass, their lips locked and it was just visible that their tongues were being used.
"OH. MY GOD!", Cora Lee yelled dropping her phone add she covered her mouth with both hands in shock and disgust. Lily just blinked in confusion. "What the hell is going on?", Lily asked. Merrick pulled back and turned his head with a smirk to greet his sister and cousin. Rose rubbed her lips together looking at Merrick before finally turning to look at her friends. "What’s it look like?”, Merrick questioned. "IT LOOKS LIKE MY BEST FRIEND IS ON YOUR LAP KISSING YOU!', Cora Lee shouted. Merrick shrugged. "That she is and was. It was rather fun until this interruption. What do you lot want anyways? Was actually enjoying this party finally.", Merrick questioned still smirking. "I'm... What? This… Huh?", Lily questioned trying to process what was happening. "What? You guys were all at the front of the cave making out. We aren't allowed to make out in private?", Rose questioned making no attempt to move from his lap. "But…we are couples...involved in serious committed relationships. My brother...he doesn't do relationships. He just has his little black book of girls he fools around with.", Lily responded. "So? Because we aren't dating and don't intended to date we can't just have some fun?", Rose asked. "Valid question Rose. And really I'd figure we would be the least of your collective worries. Because you guys may not have noticed it but I certainly saw the cowboy following jail bait to the empty beach house. We're just kissing, those two are probably doing more than that.", Merrick pointed out. "We already figured that out. And that's a problem Colby will deal will. And this…this is a situation you do not want her dad to deal with.", Cora Lee responded. Merrick laughed shaking his head. "Knock it off Cora Lee. My dad isn't going to do anything because he isn't going to know. This was just some fun.", Rose said rolling her eyes.
"Right, it's just for fun. Now again I ask why are you interrupting our fun?", Merrick asked moving his hands so both cupped Rose's ass knowing it would just bother Cora Lee and Lily even more. Cora Lee visibly shuddered watching Merrick groping Rose. Rose rolled her eyes and nudged Merrick. "We are looking for you guys because it's time to go. Landon and I have to catch the train in the morning. So get your damn shirt back on and your paws off my best friend's ass.", Lily said. With a narrowing of her eyes his shirt lifted up and hit him in the back of the head. Rose chuckled and retracted her claws and grabbed Merrick's shirt and pulled it over his head. Merrick laughed taking his hands off Rose's ass retracting his claws and putting the shirt on the rest of the way. "That's a new one. I've been undressed by women but never redressed before.", Merrick teased with a smirk. Rose shook her head putting her hands on his shoulders leaning close to his ear. "This was fun, maybe we can do it again sometime.", Rose whispered before standing up. Merrick smirked and casually shrugged as he stood up grabbing the last bottle of his hard lemonade popping the top and chugging it down just to finish them off before grabbing the other empty bottles. "You drank a whole twelve pack?", Lily questioned shaking her head. "Yes. Though did not drink it all by myself this time. You little friend drank half. So she owes me...", Merrick answered. "You'll get paid back.", Rose said. "I'm sure you'll figure a way to pay back the six beers.", Merrick said with a wink still smirking. "Um…eww. Just because she temporarily lost her mental capacities today doesn't mean it'll happen again.", Cora Lee commented. Merrick laughed a little. "Right... Whatever helps you sleep at night...Cousin.", Merrick said patting Cora Lee on the shoulder walking out to the front of the cave taking his cell out.
He knew Rose's e-mail but not her cell. So he sent a quick e-mail to her, '516-836-9156, call or text if you want to meet up again Little Wolf'. The others had stated packing up the party supplies while Lily and Cora Lee went to find Rose and Merrick. Landon and Malcolm stopped loading chairs into their arms when Merrick walked out with a smirk on his lips. Landon knew that type of smirk, it was a Bryant smirk. Malcolm knew the smirk for a different reason it meant Merrick had been doing something with a girl. "Um...Merrick? You look like you're in a good mood. Should I be worried?", Malcolm asked with raised brow. Merrick just kept smirking sending a text to a girl from his 'little black book' contacts for a hook up feeling a little on the frisky side. "Nothing to worry too much about roomie. Tell mom I'll be in late. Going to meet up with someone in a few.", Merrick said putting the phone back in his pocket. Merrick put his empties in a bag with other recyclables and with that Merrick shifted into a large black wolf and disappeared into the night. Landon and Malcolm shrugged and started picking up again while Lily, Cora Lee and Rose walked back from the depths of the cave. Lily and Cora Lee's faces told a story of horror while Rose was smiling checking her phone having gotten an email notification and was updating her contacts list to include Merrick. "So is everything alright?", Landon asked raising an eyebrow looking at his cousin, sister and then friend. Rose looked up from her phone as she put out away. "Yeah. Everything's fantastic. Thanks for asking.", Rose said smiling grabbing her stuff and some of the items they had brought with them and headed for the van. Landon watched confused then looked to Lily and Cora Lee. "Um...just. Let's not talk about it.", Lily said grabbing some things and heading for the van. "Um okay.", Landon said still confused. Cora Lee just shook her head grabbing some stuff. She paused and gave Malcolm a kiss. "I'll call you later Sparky.", Cora Lee said before heading out. "I feel we missed something.", Landon stated. "Yeah, but based on their expressions and how Merrick was smirking we don't want to know.", Malcolm said carrying his arm load of items from the cave to head to the haven with the Maximoff twins. Landon shrugged and double checked the fire before heading to the van.
Rachel was in the front seat and then Rose, Cora Lee and Lily were in the back. Ashley was going for a 'drive' with Xavier and Atif was crashing at his parent's for the night. Rachel looked to Landon concerned because she'd seen the looks on Lily and Cora Lee's faces. Landon shrugged a little before driving away. The drive to Rachel's was errierly quiet and it was freaking Landon out. When they got to Rachel's he got out and walked her to the door for a goodnight kiss. "Alright want to tell us what the hell that was about at the cave?", Cora Lee finally broke the silence. "What? I made out with Merrick big deal? He's attractive and when he's not being an asshole he not bad company.", Rose said with a shrug. "But you can't seriously want to be with him. I mean he's Merrick of all people...", Cora Lee said with a shudder. "Excuse me. We can't all get to make out with our high school sweetheart. We don't all get the guy we've always wanted. Just because Merrick's not the guy I thought I'd make out with doesn't mean I didn't enjoy making out with him.", Rose countered. Lily sighed and looked out the window at Landon kissing Rachel goodnight and a thought hit her. A thought she didn't like. "Listen to me Rose. I love you like a sister. But Merrick is my brother. And if you're using him as like a runner up deal because the Bryant you wanted picked someone else.... I'll put your healing limits to the test. I don't care if Merrick won't care because he's a man whore, he has feelings and they can get hurt. He's spent our lives comparing himself to Landon always thinking he's not as good. He doesn't need to be your consolation prize.", Lily warned. Rose growled a little and glared offended at Lily. "I can't believe you just said that to me. I'm not using him because of Landon. We both know what that make out session was, two people who find the other physically attractive giving in to a little animal/teenage hormones.", Rose stated indignantly. Lily was about to say something but stopped as Landon climbed into the van.
Landon sighed and turned to look into the back seat. "Seriously what the fuck girls? I've known you three our whole lives. And since you could talk you've never been this silent. It's freaking me out. Now someone tell me your problem. This is about the cave?", Landon demanded. The three looked away. "Come on guys. We've been best friends forever. And don't say it's girl talk because you have talked about menstrual cycles around me. This about...", Landon said looking at them trying to read body language and remembering the cave. "About Rose and Merrick... I'm going to guess kissing because granted we were at the cave long enough for more I'm just banking Rose wouldn't randomly have sex with someone.", Landon concluded. All three looked at him stunned. "YOU KNOW!?", they asked. Landon laughed. "They were obviously back there together based on the sounds of their cells when we called them. Then the Bryant smirk Merrick had on his face when he walked out and you two having a look of terror on your faces just said it all. So what is your problem? Rose can kiss anyone she wants and as her friends we shouldn't judge her choice.", Landon said with a shrug. Rose blinked stunned. "So you don't care that I was making out with Merrick?", Rose questioned. "No. You're my best friend, I want you to do whatever will make you happy. I'll admit I'm surprised, but that's all.", Landon said. "How can you be so calm? I mean this is Merrick! He's a man whore and you don't care that our best friend was making out with him?", Cora Lee questioned.
"I'm calm because there's no reason to lose my temper or get upset at all. She made out with him she's not fucking him and joining his little black book. And even if she does that's between them. I haven't lost my temper and not only transfigured but pulverized Malcolm for having sex with you. Nor have I gone protective big brother mode on Xavier for sleeping with Ashley, Billy for screwing Atif, or Tommy for having sex with Lily in my van. Hell I walked away from the Delaney beach house where we all know Tristan and Blaire were having sex.", Landon explained. Lily and Cora Lee both looked at him stunned but Rose found herself smiling. Landon was on her side about this. She lunged forward and hugged him from the back seat. "Thank you Landon.", Rose said. Landon smiled and patted Rose's arms. "You're welcome. You're always going to be my best friend and I will always have your back just like you have mine. So think you three can stop being stupid weird on our last night in Bayville together?", Landon asked. Cora Lee and Lily sighed and nodded. "Alright. Let's head back to the institute.", Cora Lee agreed. Rise sat back in her seat and Landon drove back to the institute for his and Lily's last night in the dorms.
Completely unaware of what was happening back at the cave or that everyone was packing up for the night Blaire blissfully cuddled in Tristan's arms. "Should we get dressed and go back to the cave so we they don't realize we've gone missing?", Tristan asked running a hand along her side under the blanket. Blaire sighed and stretched before relaxing back against his chest. She kissed along his left arm that was wrapped around her under her neck. "Mmm. I don't care if they realize we are gone or figure out what we left to go do. I am too content here in your arms. And since you're only here for three days, I'm not wasting any time I could spend right here.", Blaire said with a soft sigh. Tristan smiled and brought his right arm back over her to hold her close. "So I'm staying the night then?", Tristan asked nuzzling her neck. Blaire smirked. "Unless you have somewhere you need to be, yes.", Blaire answered. "Nowhere I need to be that's be better than this.", Tristan said kissing her neck. "So any regrets?", Tristan asked. Blaire giggled as she sighed. "I have but one regret about today.", Blaire admitted. "And that is?", Tristan asked curiously. "That I waited till after sunset to bring you to my house. That I wasted time at the beach when I could have had those hours in bed with you.", Blaire explained. Tristan smiled giving her a little squeeze liking that answer. "Well you have me now and every day I'm in town.", Tristan said. Blaire closed her eyes with a content sigh. "I like that. And maybe later I'll 'have' you again. But right now, I'm going to sleep and regain energy.", Blaire explained with a yawn. Tristan nodded cuddling close enjoying the feel of their naked bodies pressed against each other. "Goodnight Blaire.", Tristan whispered closing his eyes ready for some sleep too. "Night Tristan.", she said softly starting to fall asleep in the warmth of his arms.
