Rated: M....there is sex in this....hope you like it!

The weeks went by and things were looking good for Blair, her business was flourishing and her relationship with Chuck wasn't doing too bad either. They would get along during the day, hardly seeing each other because of work, but every night they spent together would be what you would expect from a couple madly in love, however they weren't in love, right? Blair had never been in love before, neither had Chuck but that was because love wasn't that common in the world they came from. In their world, people lived their lives and were independent, there was no need to fall in love, no need to have a partner, it was practically unheard of, no one wanted to commit to just one person when they could go from one to the next. But in the world they were living in right now almost everyone was looking for love and relationships and Blair was beginning to like the idea but she wasn't sure that Chuck would ever be keen on the idea of giving love a chance, he practically laughed at the idea. So Blair was stuck with her working day and her loveless, sex filled nights, not that Chuck Bass would ever complain.
They hadn't spoken about their relationship ever since that night they agreed to get a divorce in the near future and Blair wondered if they ever actually would and when. It's not like they were living as a happily married couple, they were more like friends with benefits yet things just seemed to work fine that way so she decided not to talk about it at the risk of losing the equilibrium that they had.

In fact their relationship had taken the intimate turn Blair had been hoping for as she reminisced about a certain gift Chuck had brought for her and she blushed thinking back to the way she had thanked him for it.

A few days earlier...

Chuck had been left curious after a chat with a work colleague who had requested an extended lunch break as it was his girlfriends birthday and he was running out of time to buy her a gift telling Chuck that she would be furious and likely to castrate him if he turned up home tonight without diamonds.. Chuck had imagined the look on Blair's face if he had forgotten something important to her and had smiled to himself at the thought of her cheeks reddening and her eyes shooting daggers at him, so he had given his colleague the requested break and told him to make sure to get something special. It was only then that it occurred to him that this gift giving was something that lovers did for each other and that maybe such a gesture would work in his favour when impressing his hot headed wife and possibly bring a smile to her face or even build her eagerness for some action later on tonight. He smiled to himself at the thought and immediately picked up the phone to dial his secretary to send her on a mission to find the perfect gift for Blair.
He was extremely happy with his secretary's taste who had apparently helped him select gifts for Blair before and so was confident on his arrival to the house late that night to find Blair already sprawled across their bed reading a book in the dim light. She quickly adjusted herself on the bed when she noticed him enter the room, covering her thighs with her dress that had ridden up, she smiled up at him and asked him about his day at work and he joined her on the bed without answering her. She couldn't help but feel nervous under his intense stare and the fact that he looked so devilish in the darkness with a glint in his eye and a sudden smirk upon his face. She hadn't noticed at first but she could see that he had a small gift bag in his hand and he slowly handed it to her, again without saying a word, he just smiled. She studied the bag carefully with her eyes before taking it from him, fighting back the urge to ask him what it was, his silence had rendered her speechless in an effort to maintain the erotic mood that had engulfed them. She slowly peeked into the bag and spotted a large dark blue box which she removed and analysed, noting that it was from Tiffany's. A memory from their night of watching Breakfast at Tiffany's flashed before her suddenly and she began shaking on the inside at how momentous this moment was. She had never been given a gift before. She was afraid to open the box and was taking her time in preparing herself for what would be inside, he seemed to have noticed this as he lifted his hand onto her thigh and began stroking her slowly and she almost hissed at the sudden contact. She looked him in the eyes and willed him to say something to break the intoxicating silence between them but he remained in wait for her to open her gift and so she did, lifting the lid open and gasping in awe at what was inside. A diamond encrusted necklace ........... She had never felt so touched in her life and she was strikingly aware that there were tears running down her cheeks and his hands had reached up to her cheeks to wipe them away.
"Sshh." he soothed as he lifted up her chin so he could reassure her with his eyes.
"It's the most...beautiful....I....i've never seen anything so beautiful before Chuck." she whispered. She couldn't believe that he would do something like this for her, out of nowhere. She didn't deserve this, she wasn't this special.link]http://www.diamondvues.com/PIAGET%20NECKLACE.jpg[/url][/url]
"Blair," he smiled softly as he somehow moved slightly closer to her, "you see something much more beautiful than this every time you look in a mirror....this," he pointed to the necklace, "is nothing in comparison." He brushed his hand over her cheek once more as another tear made its way towards her lip.
"Thank you." breathed Blair as her head unconsciously drifted closer to him, she had never been so moved in her life and she could swear that the sparkle of the diamonds in her hand was nothing to that of the glint in Chuck's eyes at this moment. She blinked allowing the remaining moisture from her eyes to subside and when she opened them again she was met by Chuck's intoxicating eyes, unable to resist him any longer she crashed her lips into his and simultaneously made sure that the box containing her diamond necklace was put back into the gift bag and dropped softly to the floor. She latched onto his collar forcing her tongue into his mouth as she climbed on top of him and then fell back onto the pillows dragging him along with her so that he was on top her. When Chuck finally came up for air, he looked in to her eyes and smiled sweetly at her but she was too impatient for romance and demanded that they get on with it, "Take me....now!" she ordered pulling him to her again and devouring his lips as she ripped open his shirt and made contact with the hairs on his chest. He hissed as she pulled slightly at the hairs there and returned some of the sweet pain by biting on her bottom lip and then mauling her neck and jaw as she writhed under him moaning in ecstasy.
"You like that?" he drawled as he continued to suck and nip at her neck and palm her breasts over her dress.
"Yes, Christ Chuck!" she panted as his hands began exploring her upper thighs getting achingly close to her panties but not touching her there just yet. She was too desperate for foreplay and wanted him inside her so she quickly reached for his belt and began to unbuckle as he continued to kiss her collar bone and undo her zip from behind.
They were down to their underwear as Chuck kicked off his pants and pulled her dress off to reveal her rose pink lingerie. He pulled her towards him frantically, wanting to feel her body and get her bra off, he kissed her hard on the lips as his hands roamed all over her body and pulled at the straps of her bra, she moaned into his mouth and their breathing became extremely erratic as they fought for control.
"Just get it off, all of it, I cant wait." she pleaded as his hands teased at the strap of her panties. He saw the lust and desperation in her eyes and smirked at her knowingly.
"Yeah, she wants me." he teased.
She laughed a little before turning them over and pushing him down on to the pillows as she sat on top of him, straddling his hardness and making him wince in pain as the pleasure became to much, "yeah, he wants me." she whispered and they both broke out into a soft giggle before their lips collided once more and her hands reached down to relieve him of his boxers. She felt his breath hitch as she took him full on in her hands and began stroking him fiercely, he cried out and begged her to stop but she continued until he forced her hands off him. It was too much for him too soon and he didn't want to come into her hands, he wanted to be inside her when he spilled his seed whilst she rode him with abandon.
"Stop Blair, you know where I want you..." he choked out as she continued to tease him by hovering over him and keeping control of their game.
"Where?" she challenged, the table's had turned and even though she loved it when he was in the position she was in right now, the sudden power she held over him at this moment made her feel spectacular and she was sure that he had never before felt so aroused.
"Fuck Blair, you know." he bit his lip, unable to believe how he had gotten himself in this position, he had suddenly forgotten how to resume control and found himself on the verge of begging her to take him.
"Say it...Chuck...tell me exactly what you want me to do?" she smirked. She was too cocky and he was too stubborn to let her win. He continued to bite his lip and closed his eyes to avoid her gaze, they shot open seconds later along with a cry escaping his mouth as he felt her lips around his member as she began to stroke him with her tongue. He looked down between his legs in shock as he watched her take him fully into her mouth and angle her eyes so that she was looking straight up at him whilst she continued her ministrations.
"FUCK!" he yelled, "Blair! Holy mother of....."he was lost for words, never had he expected her to take such initiative, her innocent mind had for sure been poisoned by those sex tapes. The thought alone was too much for him to handle and before he knew it he was coming undone, he didn't even have a chance to shout a warning to her as his body began to spasm and his juices began to shoot out filling her mouth and dripping out as she reacted to the shock of feeling him come into her mouth. He could see the surprise on her face as she debated whether to pull him out or let him ride out his orgasm whilst in her mouth and soon it was over and she was pulling back trying to wipe her lips off as they both attempted to get their breaths back. They stared at each other for a long while panting and trying to compose themselves, Chuck was in shock at what had just happened and thought he saw slight embarrassment on her face as she continued to pant heavily and swipe at her mouth and chin to rid herself of his liquid. Watching her lick her lips and the fact that she seemed to enjoy the taste made Chuck even more desperate to finish her off, partly because he wanted to please her the way she had just pleased him and partly because he was still aching to feel himself buried inside her, and with that thought he felt himself harden again. Blair crawled over to him once more as she noticed him harden again and she was delighted because she had just been thinking about how she wasn't finished with him yet, she smiled at him like the true deviless she had become tonight and he held onto her arms as she continued moving towards him. They began kissing again as he pulled her as close to him as possible, "that was....you were fucking....amazing...." he growled onto her lips as she rocked her hips onto him trying to get any part of him to make contact with her centre.
"I dont know what came over me..." she admitted, still flushed from her actions.
"I came over you....literally" he chuckled and she giggled back, he couldn't believe how incredibly beautiful she was, "you know, while we have sex, something happens to you....you somehow become even more beautiful than normal, I didnt think it was possible." he whispered, truly amazed at how lucky he was to have her like this.
She was in awe, to say the least, being with him made her feel beautiful and to hear him say it made her feel on top of the world, "Chuck....Just. Fuck. Me. Now!" she growled back at him. So he did just that, flipping her over and hovering above her and looking her straight in the eye watching her pupils roll to the back of her head as he drove into her with abandon, over and over again, screaming each other's names as they both came undone together.

Present day.
Blair had been busy preparing a photo-shoot for her new Jenny inspired clothing line SideKick and for the past few days Jenny hadn't stopped talking about a new friend she had made. His name was Marcus and he had recently moved from Connecticut to the city and was living in the same hotel as Jenny and she had been showing him around Manhattan. He was a little older than Blair and seemed to have that vintage classy aura about him just like Blair so she assumed that they would get along and so invited him to join her and Blair for lunch, of course Blair was always excited about meeting new people so she agreed.
Blair and Jenny were seated waiting for Marcus to arrive so that they could order lunch when Jenny decided she needed to go to the ladies room. Coincidently it was then that Marcus turned up almost bumping into his friend. Jenny squealed until she realised who she had almost knocked over and Marcus turned to her with a friendly laugh at her clumsiness.
"Woah there rock star!" he laughed, he had began calling her rock star because he said she dressed like one and he frequently heard rock music from her suite at the hotel they lived at.
Jenny giggled and greeted Marcus with a hug, he was much taller than her and had an odd accent, he sounded posh like the characters Blair had watched in some historical film, "Hey! You're late!" giggled Jenny, she then turned to Blair who smiled up at Marcus, "oh, this is my friend and boss, Blair Waldorf."
Blair stood up to shake hands, "Hello, I'm Marcus Beaton, nice to meet you." They smiled at each other briefly before Jenny excused herself to go to the ladies room and Blair and Marcus sat down at their table and began making small talk. That was until Blair almost yelled and shot up from her seat pointing at Marcus's hand. He reached up to her to calm her down and she sat back in her seat and grabbed his left hand, "where did you get this!" she whispered harshly.
"I beg your pardon?" replied Marcus pulling his hand away and hiding it from her sight.
"Your wearing a ring, can you....can you see it?" she asked.
"Wait you see this?" he asked, waving his hand in front of her face.
"Of course I can...can you?" she shot back.
"Urm yes, obviously, seeing as i'm the one wearing it!" if she could see the ring, it only meant one thing, "hold on, if you can see my torpedo...that means that you're..." he eyed her suspiciously.
"and that means that you're..." she repeated before a slight confused smile graced her lips, could he really be another original.
"Oh my...I thought I was the only one! How on earth...wait that means it worked! It actually worked?! That's incredible!" he yelled animatedly.
"What worked?" asked Blair.
"The Cypher! It actually worked! They're actually using it now? Are there more of you! Where's the Cypher? Wait that means I can finally get out of here! Where's the Cypher, do you have it?"
"Wait, stop with all the questions, i'm just as excited as you but how the hell did you get here?" she asked trying to figure out how someone could have travelled worlds without her knowing.
"I was a test subject, I was the first one who got to use the Cypher many years ago, they told me that they would send someone to get me back once they were sure it worked, they've been tracking me through my Torpedo ring, wait did they send you?" he asked hopefully.
"Urm no, look I had no idea they had tested the Cypher, we weren't even certain that it would work, it was given to us in an emergency." She recalled the day Chuck had called the four of them together to inform them of the situation they were in, practically the imminent end of their world. They had been given the Cypher by Bart Bass and she couldn't remember being told about any test runs in the past. But she was sure that they were the last people to travel and that there was only one Cypher, Chuck had told her this himself.
"What do you mean?"
"Look i'm sorry but no one is looking for you, there is no one else by now. Our world was destroyed and we were some of the only survivors, a select group of 4 of us were given the Cypher to escape our world...we did and after years of searching we ended up here a few months ago and it looks promising, we're not going to jump another portal again, the Cypher is safe in storage. I'm sorry, but this is it, we have to stay here." she explained and Marcus seemed to have become a little disappointed as he brushed a hand through his dark blonde hair. He reminded her a little of Nate but seemed a bit older and more intelligent.
"There's four of you? Is that really all that's left?" he asked.
Before Blair could answer Jenny had returned with her phone to her ear almost yelling to whoever was on the other end.
"Yes I heard the first time! Hold on a second, " Jenny looked down to Blair and Marcus, "look guys, i'm really sorry but Blair I need to get back to the studio, Lex has run into a little problem that apparently only I can fix! You guys have lunch without me."
"Oh that's fine Jenny, me and Marcus were actually getting along fine, you go ahead, i'll see you later at work." she smiled in relief watching Jenny wave and run off, her and Marcus had plenty to talk about anyway.
"Ok, well there's me, Nate, Serena and Chuck." she answered before filling him in on everything about her and her friends.
"So Chuck's donor was Bartholomew Bass? Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yeah...why?"
"He was one of the scientists involved in the test run, he was the one who recruited me. Is he still...alive?"
"Urm, i'm not sure, he was one of the last scientists left, he gave Chuck the Cypher and told us to find a safe place to start over." she explained. Marcus seemed to have understood as he smiled and began eating the food which had been brought to them. They ate in silence for a while before Marcus spoke again, "so could I meet your friends then? I've been alone ever since I left our world and it's just not the same you know, i've never really fitted in before, it would be nice to finally have other people like me around, like family." he smiled and it excited Blair because she had always thought she'd never see another original other than her three friends and thinking of how lonely Marcus must have been all these years by himself made her feel sorry for him. With her she had always had the Cypher to tell her about her equivalent she had replaced and how to fit into any world they came in to and take on the life of her equivalent, but for Marcus he obviously had no real idea who he was in this world which worried her even more because that meant that anyone who knew Marcus's equivalent would have just assumed him missing.
"Of course, I can invite them for dinner and we can surprise them! They'll be so happy to have another addition to our group!" she clapped her hands and he chuckled at how animated she was.
"This is like a dream Blair, I never thought i'd ever meet another original, I cant wait to see the others!" he exclaimed and Blair responded with a huge grin and clapping her hands together again in excitement.

It had been a long time since Serena had last met up with the group and was dying to get a break from work to visit New York and catch up with the others. So you can imagine how excited she had been when Blair had called inviting her to Manhattan for dinner. She had freed her schedule and booked a flight almost straight away and finally a few days later found herself knocking on her best friends door at dinner time.

"Serena!" screeched Blair enveloping Serena into a big hug. Serena laughed and held onto Blair tightly before releasing her, "B! It's so good to see you! I've missed you so much!"
"I've missed you too, come in, Nate's already here and I have a surprise for you all!.." she led Serena inside and she was greeted by Chuck and Nate before being shown to her seat by Chuck.
"So sis, how's the modelling going? Have you brought any shots with you? I'd just love to see your more intimate snaps." he drawled seductively whilst brushing his hands across her shoulders as he pushed her seat forward for her.
"Ugh Chuck your disgusting! That has got to be classed as some form of incest!" she cringed pushing him away from her and Blair pretended that it had no effect on her whatsoever, after all he was just joking with Serena.
Chuck laughed at his "step-sister" and walked towards his own seat, "oh we both know we're not really related, but still the whole step-sister thing is what makes you more appealing." he smirked at her and noticed Blair scowling from the other side of the room.
"Chuck that's enough!" ordered Blair, "besides like i've told you all I have a surprise for you all," she turned her head as the door bell rang, "yes! That should be him right now!" she finished.
"Him?" questioned Chuck, suddenly not liking this surprise so much.
Blair rolled her eyes at him and skipped out of the room, Serena watched as moments later Blair returned with a stranger.

"Everyone this is Marcus Beaton," she smiled whilst pointing at Marcus who smiled and gave a small wave, "and Marcus, this is Serena Van Der Woodsen, Nate Archibald and Chuck Bass." she finished. Serena and Nate stood from there seats to greet the newcomer and then the room went silent as Marcus offered his hand to a still seated Chuck. Blair glared at Chuck, willing him to stand up and be polite and he finally reached out to shake Marcus's hand stopping in his tracks and jumping from his seat when he saw Marcus's other hand.
"Fuck!" he yelled whilst grabbing Marcus by the neck, he ignored Blair's screams in the background begging him to stop, "who the fuck are you! Who are you!" he shouted into Marcus's face.
"Calm down man! Let go of me!" struggled Marcus as he attempted to push Chuck off him. Blair had already approached them and was trying to free Chuck's hands of Marcus's shirt. Then Serena joined in with Blair's efforts to make Chuck listen, "Chuck, let go of him, stop being ridiculous!"
"Maybe if you let go of me I can explain myself!" commanded Marcus in his deep accented voice and it made Chuck cringe at how movie-like he sounded. Chuck let go of him pushing him away slightly and watched on as Blair shook her head in disgust and asked Marcus if he was ok.
Serena walked towards Marcus and asked the question Chuck hadn't been able to communicate so well, "so you're an original? Explain yourself," she crossed her arms across her chest looking at him seriously.
"Look everyone," interrupted Blair, "let's all take our seats and Marcus can tell us about himself once everyone is comfortable and eating dinner? Ok?" They all turned to Blair and then slowly made their way to their seats, Blair left the room to go to the kitchen and bring back their starter dish as Marcus began telling the story of how he was used as a test subject and sent through a portal by himself without the Cypher and was promised that someone would come back for him once the Cypher was proved to work properly.
Nate chipped in to fill Marcus in on what had happened to the four of them and how they were possibly the only survivors and owned the only existing Cypher.
"So you guys still have the Cypher and portal tracking technology?" asked Marcus.
"Yeah Chuck keeps it here, it's safe in this house." answered Nate, earning a frown from Chuck. It was clear that Chuck didn't like this new guy and he had every reason not to trust him. Chuck had always been the leader of the group so it was his job to protect them and being suspicious of outsiders was just an instinct that came with the territory.
"Right, well you all have no idea how glad I am that I found you guys, really, it's like my wildest dream come true." at that Marcus placed his hand on Blair's who was sitting next to him at the table and smiled at her sweetly, she giggled back at him and Chuck recoiled in disgust. How dare he touch his wife!
"Well it's a shame you wont be able to see more of us," began Chuck, interrupting a somewhat silent moment occurring between Marcus and his 'dearly beloved', "what with Nate and Serena living outside the city and me and my lovely wife having demanding jobs and a fulfilling time consuming home life. Right dear?" he smiled at Blair lovingly and took her hand in his, but was shocked when Blair dismissed him and pulled her hand back.
He was even more sickened when he watched her as she stared at Marcus as he was the the King of England, "don't be ridiculous Chuck, we can be honest in front of Marcus, he knows our marriage isn't real, we don't have to pretend in front of him! After all he's one of us now!" she giggled at Marcus and Chuck joined Serena in watching her in confusion, Nate just smiled at the exchange and carried on eating as if it was normal.
The rest of dinner went by quickly with the occasional small talk between Serena and Nate who tried to involve Chuck but Chuck seemed too busy beating his food with his fork whilst watching Blair talk and laugh with the new arrival. Serena noticed his behaviour and figured he was just jealous of Marcus for the way he seemed to have a connection with Blair, "Nate, talk to Chuck," she whispered so only Nate could hear.
"About what?" he asked, she should have known she would have had to spell it out.
"later, in private, ask him what's bothering him, he obviously has a problem with Marcus." she explained and Nate nodded in agreement.
Dinner was almost over when Blair decided to drop another bombshell, "hey guys, just to let you know, Marcus's lease has run out on his apartment so I invited him to live here for a while, until he finds somewhere new." she smiled and clapped her hands in excitement.
"What! 'just to let us know?' that's not your decision to make!" shouted Chuck, he was already angry from the attention Marcus was getting from Blair and Marcus moving in to their house was just a step too far, "you cant just invite random people into our home Blair! I wont let you!" he snarled.
"Chuck! Stop being so dramatic! He's one of us, he needs somewhere to stay and our house is big enough. Stop being such an ass!" Blair shot back.
"Guy's I don't mean to cause any trouble." interjected Marcus before being sent a death glare from Chuck.
"Then get the fuck out of here!" yelled Chuck, pointing to the door.
"No Chuck, stop it! He's staying whether you like it or not." demanded Blair.
"Over my dead body!" retorted Chuck, afraid that he was losing the battle he looked to Serena for support and then suddenly all eyes were on her.
"Urm, well, Blair...maybe you should think about this first, you and Chuck should talk in private." offered Serena and then Chuck walked out of the room expecting Blair to follow after him, when she didn't Serena had to push her towards the door and get her to let Chuck have his say.
Chuck was pacing in the foyer with a stern look on his face when Blair found him and she wasted no time in starting their conversation, "what the hell is your problem Chuck!" she yelled.
"How can you trust him so easily! We only just met him!"
"Just because you dont like someone it doesn't make them untrustworthy, Marcus is a nice guy and I want to do the nice thing and give him somewhere to stay!" she tried to reason.
He sniggered, "he's using you! I dont know what for right now, but I know his kind and I can spot a fraud!"
"Using me! What like how you use me almost every night!" she blurted out and she regretted it immediately because she knew it was far from the truth.
"You're unbelievable in bringing that up!" he grabbed her by the arm and gritted his teeth, "you know just as well as I do that every night we spend together is mutual and you probably enjoy it more than I do! So don't fucking use that against me!" he released her arm but only because he noticed she was in slight pain.
She massaged the spot where his hand had gripped her leaving her delicate skin with possible bruises, "you don't get the final say in everything! If you're going to treat me like this then there's no point me staying here with you is there?" she challenged him and he bit his tongue to stop himself from pushing her further.
"why do you always have to make things so difficult. What do you even see in him, he could be dangerous we don't even know him." he carefully avoided her challenge and diverted their conversation back to Marcus.
"I trust him. Besides i've made up my mind, he's one of us and he will be staying with us until he finds a new place of his own, you can either accept it or feel free to show your distaste by staying away from me and Marcus!" she looked at him straight in the eyes waiting for his response but none came, in fact he looked a little shocked, she turned away from him and proceeded to storm off.
"Blair! Wait," she stopped in her tracks and turned towards him "fine, have it your way, he can stay but I swear if he tries anything clever, I wont be responsible for my actions," this time it was Chuck who turned and walked away from her.

The night was coming to a close and Nate took his chance to have a word with Chuck just as Serena had suggested. He walked over to Chuck who was standing in a far corner of the room drinking scotch unable to take his eyes off of Marcus getting friendly with Blair.
"Hey man, you want to talk about it?" asked Nate.
Chuck simply gritted his teeth and scowled in Marcus's direction, "he can't be trusted, we don't even know him."
"He seems alright." reasoned Nate but he was met by Chuck's disgusted face.
"He's not one of us. I dont trust him."
"Well he'll be under your roof so you'll get to keep an eye on him." considered Nate whilst watching Blair and Marcus laughing away.
"Exactly why I allowed him to stay." explained Chuck.
"Oh, so it had nothing to do with staying in Blair's good books?" smiled Nate.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Just that I see the way you are with her, do you....like her?" he asked.
"As much as you and Serena do." he lied.
"No, I didn't mean like that, I meant do you have feelings for her, as more than just a friend?" he reiterated, but was met by a long silence and decided not to push any further.
"I'm going to have my eye's on that creep, I know he's bad news." scowled Chuck and Nate just nodded, there was no point arguing with Chuck, ever.
"Cool, just let me know if you're right about him, I'm going to say bye to the others and make my way, i'll speak to you soon," they shook hands and Nate turned to walk towards Blair before turning back, "oh and Chuck, I know relationships aren't your thing, but there's nothing wrong with having feelings for her and if you do you should probably do something about it, like tell her, before it's too late." he smiled and Chuck just looked over at Blair.
He watched as she said her goodbyes to Nate and he noticed how she seemed different, happier, lighter and more beautifull.. How the hell could a stranger have made her this happy, what the hell did this Marcus guy have that was better than what he had! He snarled at him and how easily he held Blair's attention, how easily he made her smile and laugh and how desperate she was for his attention and for him to live here, with her.
Is that what this was about, maybe she thought that she had found someone to replace him, that's why she was willing to leave if he hadn't agreed to letting Marcus stay. Well if she was desperate for this Marcus guy then she was welcome to have him, he'd had enough of watching them and their pathetic attempt at flirting with each other, not that he was jealous or anything, it just pissed him off that Marcus was an original like them and he knew that Chuck and Blair weren't technically married, it just ruined everything between himself and Blair and on top of that the bastard would be living with them. He grabbed his supply of scotch and stormed off to his bedroom not even bothering to say goodbye to Serena or see her and Nate out.
He remained sitting on his bed an hour later almost drunk out his mind and he could swear that he could hear Blair's laughter from downstairs and he wanted to smash his glass onto the mirror that reflected his frowning face to him. There was no way that he could be affected by Marcus fucking Beaton, he would kill the guy if he tried anything with Blair, not that he'd know if they were doing anything right now because he was up here and the two of them were downstairs, alone. He began going out of his mind thinking of why she hadn't come to bed yet and what they could have been up to all this time, it was almost midnight.
He was lost in his thoughts when Blair entered the bedroom with a bright smile on her face. He immediately sprang up from the bed and stumbled towards her latching on to her waist and surprising her by crashing his lips on to hers. She struggled against him pushed against chest with her hands as his tongue invaded her mouth and she briefly considered kissing him back. She managed to pull away and the look in his eyes slightly frightened her, "Chuck," she whispered breathlessly, "you've been drinking!" she exclaimed as she pushed him away finally but he pulled her against him again and attempted another kiss but she stopped him, "Chuck! Stop it! Marcus..." she reminded him as she broke free of his hold.
But he didn't let her get away, he grabbed onto her wrist as she turned away from him and pushed her towards him with her back against his chest and his arm snaked around her abdomen, "Don't say that bastards name, I bet he had you bored to death, that's why you're here?" he whispered onto her neck holding her tightly.
"No! He was a perfect gentleman, and he's intriguing, I enjoy his company!." she argued back. It was the truth, Marcus was a perfect gentleman, but she knew that she could never be tamed by such a personality, she needed someone like Chuck, rough and rugged, someone who could tame her.
"Really," he answered angrily as his free hand reached down to caress her thigh and forced her dress higher up her thigh exposing more of her flesh, "but could he...make you feel like this," he whispered into her ear as he bit onto her neck and dug his nails onto her inner thigh, she gasped at the sensation and he continued, "does he...give you goosebumps and....cause you to cream your panties by simply touching you.....or looking at you?" he growled whilst turning her face towards him to look her in the eye and she saw his intense gaze before her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Then she felt his mouth on hers again and he was more aggressive this time backing her up on to the wall and the force of hitting the wall made her thrash back onto him harder and she felt herself lose her senses as his hands dug into her ass from behind. She kissed him back vigorously pulling the buttons of his shirt free and then he was forcing up her dress and rubbing his hand over her soaked panties, she hissed and trembled and he parted their lips, "i'm going to fuck you so hard you wont even remember that bastards name and then you'll be consumed with thoughts of only me so dont ever fuck with me again and flaunt yourself in front of anyone else, you know who own's you!" he growled and began ripping at her dress.
But this time she lashed out at him and pulled herself away from him, "You're sick! You dont own me! You dont get to decide who I make friends with!" she yelled.
"You think he just wants friendship with you! Did you see the way he looked at you and touched you! You're fucking blind!" he yelled back and tried coming for her again.
But she backed away towards the door, "Marcus is a nice guy, he respects me, unlike you! I've had enough of this, I cant stand being near you like this when your acting like...like that!" she pointed at him and tried to hide her tears, "Marcus is living with us now for a while so you better get used to it and just to be clear, I will not share a bed with you while he is here, in fact we will not share any sort of physical relationship during his stay, he knows we're only pretending anyway, just to live like our equivalents, he knows what we have isn't real. So no more sex." she demanded.
"You cant do that! We had an agreement, why does he have to ruin that!" he spat out, clearly frustrated.
"I dont care I cant have sex with you while someone else is living in our house!" she tried to reason. That was one of the reasons but really she just wanted to punish Chuck for treating her like she meant nothing to him and then getting angry with her about Marcus when she hadn't done anything wrong.
"So this is about him! Maybe you'll be having sex with him instead!" he knew he shouldn't have said that because it sounded slightly like him calling her a slut but he didn't mean it like that, he was just angry at her, or at Marcus, he wasn't really sure in his drunken state.
"Maybe I will!" she shouted and then before he could say anything she stormed out of the room and ran towards one of the guest rooms locking herself in before collapsing on to the bed and crying over the mess her life seemed to be in all of a sudden. Chuck was drunk and deluded and all she wanted was for him to be kind to her and to forget about their stupid arrangement (that she was beginning to hate) and be with her out of love like she had begun to hope for. She wasn't sure what love should feel like but she knew that being in this world had made her learn more about it and she was confused about what she felt for Chuck. There were times when she felt so consumed by him and wanted him so much and then there were times like tonight where she hated him and felt immense anger towards him for making things complicated and not showing any romantic feeling towards her and it sometimes made her lose hope that she ever would. She remembered a time in their own world where relationships would not have mattered to anyone and men had come and gone in her life, but even though it was normal it had never felt right. When she had sex for the first time it was a horrible experience for her, she hardly knew the guy and she had felt violated and found it uncomfortable and rather disgusting to expose her body to a person she didn't really feel connected to. That was why she had hardly ever been sexually active since because she had always felt pressured into conforming. Even when they were travelling through worlds it was only in 2nd world that they were able to lead normal lives without being stuck in war or similar disasters such as those in the other worlds they had travelled to.. She remembered her high school boyfriend in 2nd world but at the time she was still uncomfortable with sleeping with him since she had only done it once before and it wasn't a very positive experience for her. She did eventually sleep with him and had to fake her virginity because her equivalent in that world had been a virgin. Since 2nd world she hadn't ever slept with anyone until of course Chuck and it was the first time she had actually enjoyed it, he made it feel right and made her come alive with the hunger of wanting more and more. This was the connection that she had dreamed of but she had always hoped it to be mutual and it hurt that Chuck didn't seem to feel the same way about her. She wouldn't let it break her though, if he wasn't going to love her then she would have to show him what he was missing, she would make him love her because they were inevitable, they had to be.

A.N... ok so new character....What did you think...? Sorry about the last paragraph being repetitive of what i've written in a previous chapter but I had this bit written before I went back to edit the previous chapters and it's just a bit of history so I didnt bother taking it out!

I chose Marcus because I thought he would fit in to the kind of character I wanted to portray...I wanted an existing GG character and I was thinking maybe Carter but then he's kind of obviously evil and I wanted someone who could be good/evil. That way you'll be wondering whether he's a good guy or a bad guy...you'll find out soon enough!

I haven't written much after this chapter so Im warning that an update may be very slow because I have to find the time to write! It's really hard to get some alone time to do so and i'm sorry for making you wait so long...I read lot of fics and I hate it when writers take ages to update so i'll try my best not to take too long...and i'll make the wait worth it...

Review please, would love to hear what you thought of Marcus coming into the story and what you think his character's purpose is....also would love to hear how you felt about the CB sexual tension and interaction, you want more of it?
