rescuing a friend, tags Tyler

[Bree Marcus]

Following a frantic phone call from Tina Durnham regarding Tyler's upset state and nightmares, Bree found herself in her night gown, speeding across town in her BMW. She had a white robe on as well, the hood pulled up for a touch of anonymity. Arriving at her friend's family estate, she parked and snuck around the back. The pool house was dark and silent, which Bree took as a good sign. She opened the door and slipped inside, grateful to see a single lump on the bed. Removing her robe she sat on the bed and reached out to stroke his rough cheek. "Tyler?" she said in a soft voice, not wanting to startle him. She was so intent on the handsome male that she did not hear the key in the lock as it was turned and locked.

[Tyler Durnham]

A woman’s intimate touch was a far from new experience for Tyler, though the woman he happened to be receiving it from very much was. He gave a low groan at her caress, though it was her voice that woke him. “Bree.” he mumbled in return, not bothering just yet to open his eyes as he smiled just a little, reaching his hand up to take hers. Well, this was new, he hadn’t yet dreamed about her yet in this fashion. As though even in a dream he was worried about breaking that trust he’d established with her. He knew her past, knew she was a lot more fragile than she showed, knew she had to be handled with care.

But now that he was dreaming about her, well, he supposed a little fun wouldn’t hurt. He forced his eyes open, smiling more openly at the sight of her now. Many things could be said about the woman, but beautiful had to be close to the top. She smelt really good, as close to him as she was, he could tell. And she looked rather concerned, for a sex dream. And there was a lot less jumping than he would have assumed. And he could feel the sleep in the corner of his eyes.

Moving to sit up, he rubbed at his eyes, no longer under any pretences that this was just a pleasant dream. “Bree?” Tyler repeated, his voice a little thick with sleep, looking just as surprised as happy to see her. “Not that I don’t appreciate the visit, but what are you doing here?”

[Bree Marcus]

Bree blushed at Tyler's expression. "Oh... Tina called and said you were upset and needed me to comfort you. It seemed a little strange, but I had no reason not to believe her. I was having a bad night myself and figured I could use a change of scenery. What were you dreaming about?" she asked still believing there were nightmares. She stroked his forehead and then pressed her lips to his brow.

She put her other hand on his chest, surprised at how strong and even his heart beat was. "Can I help make you feel better?" she asked, he green eyes softening visably.

[Tyler Durnham]

Tina...he should have known that his sister had something to do with Bree Marcus showing up half naked in the middle of the night. He had thought he managed to get her to drop the subject, he should have realised a Durnham was far too stubborn for that. Tyler was actually proud of her, she was learning well. It was just a shame that it meant interrupting his sleep.

But before he could say anything to his friend about this, her lips were against his forehead and her hand on his chest, her question something he would have happily taken advantage of if she had been just any other woman. She wasn’t though, which made this a rather unusual situation for him to be in. It wasn’t every day that there was a woman sitting on his bed that he didn’t plan on sleeping with. Not that he would refuse if given the opportunity, he found Bree more than a little appealing, but he had to be careful with his friend.

“Well, I suppose I should tell you,” he smiled gently, not bothering to pull away, “I believe we’re both players in one of Tina’s games.” He managed to get himself off his bed then, making his way to the door to see if his suspicions were correct. “Yep, as I thought, locked.” Chuckling, he moved back towards her, grabbing jeans from the floor and slipping them on to be somewhat polite.

“It looks as though you’re stuck here for the night. Tina seems to think that we’d make a perfect couple, and she wasn’t quite impressed when I told her otherwise.” The footballer grinned, moving to take a seat himself on the bed. “She’s having difficulty grasping the notion that I can’t be in a single, one woman relationship, and that you deserve more than an open one. She’s quite determined, my sister, when she makes up her mind.”

[Bree Marcus]

Bree frowned slightly, feeling some what grateful that Tyler's sister thought so much of her. "I think maybe I could handle one as long as it was negotiated carefully," she said thinking of it as a business deal. "Dating Mew has been a learning experience, Tyler. I think I need more than just a casual date occasionally. " She was blushing furiously. "I thought that Sloane was totally off base, but she isn't. I never realized that my father actually affected me. My body isn't able to completely forget that I am not a virgin and I have known pleasure. When I am with you, it complains quite a bit and it wants me to just push aside my fears. I think I would be better with you on a limited basis than I am totally ignored and frustrated.

[Tyler Durnham]

Now, he didn’t know what he expected from Bree, but it certainly wasn’t what she had to say next. The slightly dumbfounded look on his face made this pretty obvious. Tyler slowly started to grin though, noticing her blush. It was something he never expected to hear from Bree, and as it was directed towards him, he couldn’t help but feel an ego boost from her words. So even Bree had to have him. It certainly made a man feel good about himself.

“Negotiated carefully...” he repeated, wondering if this was a good idea or not. Certainly, she would fare better with him than some of the other guys at the school, given that they were friends and he knew her history, he knew to be careful with her. And she was beautiful, he couldn’t deny that he would enjoy whatever arrangement they would come up with. And it would probably annoy Sloane too, who would think that he was taking advantage of the girl. All in all, it would be a win win situation.

And so, given that he was a very physical person, he moved just a little closer to her, letting his fingers trace over her thigh. She didn’t pull away, a very good sign. “Well, as long as we’re both honest with each other, I don’t see how this can’t work. After all, I have similar relationships with Aly and Melodee, and that works out very well for us.” he grinned. “As long as you realise that I can’t be with just you, no matter how appealing I find you, and I do, well then, I’m sure we can come to some sort of arrangement.”

[Bree Marcus]

"I would want to be the official girlfriend and i wouldn't want to have to see you with your other women, not in any intimate activities. And I would have the same consideration towards you, though If you sleep with people that offend me then I also claim the same right, to choose someone of the same skank level. I do not want to be laughed at or pitied." she said, her face serious.

She leaned down and kissed Tyler in a manner that could only be considered professional. She was thorough and there were obviously feelings that she put into it.

[Tyler Durnham]

The kiss was almost enough to make Tyler forget about Bree’s stipulations. And of course he returned it just as thoroughly, he wasn’t born yesterday, he knew exactly how to treat a woman when she kissed you. Especially a woman like Bree. It was some time before he pulled away and allowed her to do the same, a very satisfied look on his face.

And then he cocked his head, his grin changing to a more cheeky look. “No.” he said simply, giving a soft laugh. He took her hand then, linking his fingers through hers, an uncharacteristically intimate move on his behalf. Just so she would know that there wasn’t any bad feelings behind what he said.

“I think this is where we compromise.” he drawled, brushing his lips over her hand. “You should know by now, I don’t have girlfriends, just girls I occasionally date. Bad of me, I know.” the footballer laughed, not seeming worried about this in the slightest. “But trust me, you won’t catch me in any compromising positions with another girl. As for anyone else you’re with, you won’t have any interference from me, as far as I see it, it’s none of my business. I assure you, you will not be laughed at, or pities at. If anything, you’ll be envied, I’m sure. We’ll remain what we are now, good friends. Just, for lack of a better term, when you have an itch to scratch, I’ll be here to scratch it.”

And now having presented his side, he felt it was his time to kiss her, and so kiss her he did. He pushed Bree lightly onto the bed, pinning her very gently underneath him as his lips found hers. And after a very breathtaking moment, he pulled away slightly. “So, what do you say?”

[Bree Marcus]

"I'm not sure my ego will stand up to being someone's fuck buddy," Prim and Proper Bree Marcus saying fuck buddy made it sound very sensual and naughty. "I can't be put in the same position as Aly and Sarissa. They may enjoy being viewed as a plaything, but I am worth a lot more than that and i have more to offer as well. So do you think I am not worth your reputation as a male slut? I believe having me on your arm officially will be more impressive than turning me into a flavor of the day. I have never dated anyone for more than a few days and I have been asked by many," she declared, angry that he even thought his 'compromise' was acceptable.

[Tyler Durnham]

Fuck buddy....well, that was a more crude way of putting it, but Tyler supposed, if you broke it down, that was exactly what he was proposing, and it was something apparently Bree had a great problem with. Whereas she was proposing a relationship, an open one, but a relationship all the same, and he was far from ready to be known as anyone’s boyfriend, even Bree’s. He liked his life exactly as it was, he wasn’t prepared to have any changes to it. This was going to be very interesting indeed.

As calm as he usually was, the girl was starting to get to him, and he could feel annoyance start to sweep through him. He didn’t appreciate anyone, even his friends, especially his friends, look down on how he choose to live his life. And though he generally ignored others’ views, he couldn’t now.

“I don’t see either Aly or Sarissa as a plaything, and I’m sure they don’t either.” he pointed out, trying to keep his tone calm as he pulled away to sit up on the edge of the bed. “What I share with the girls is a mutually enjoyable and beneficial relationship. One that doesn’t involve us putting a title on it. We’re friends, and nothing more, and that’s how it works. I’m sorry Bree, but I just can’t be someone’s boyfriend, as tempting as you are.”

He stood then, scratching at his chin, wondering if he should put on a shirt. “I don’t intend to turn you into anything. I like how things are between us now, our friendship is very important to me, and I would rather that doesn’t change. And male slut, really, is that how you see me now? Really, I had hoped that you’d have a better understanding. Being one of my closest friends and all.”

This wasn’t exactly how he had hoped being woken up by a beautiful woman would go. “Well, it looks like regardless, you’re stuck here with me for the night. You take my bed, I’ll have the couch. I’m sorry if I can’t provide you with what you want.”
